Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kabbooms.
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 Mallard starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
In the air Everywhere, The Extra Crunchy, extra Spicy Fifth
Hour with Me, Ben Mahler and Danny g Radio. As
we are in the air everywhere. The power of the pod,
the power of the pod, the global reach of podcasting.
(00:50):
Eight days a week, eight days a week, fresh original
audio content which might even be mildly entertaining, every single
day of the week. We thank you for being a
supporter of the podcast. And if you missed the Friday podcast,
the big announcement, the Malor Meet and Greet, first Malord
Meet and Greet of twenty twenty four and the first
(01:13):
one ever in the South below the Mason Dixon Line.
We'll be in South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina. So if
you're in Myrtle Beach or Wilmington, South Carolina. It's not
that far away from those places, and if you want
to drive a little further, I'm not sure what's south
of Charleston, but check it out. So we'll be there.
(01:36):
Details on yesterday's pod, but Danny g is hanging out
with me as we get the Partey started. There was
a pretty big story in our business that didn't get
too much attention. I don't We didn't talk about it
on the Overnight show because it's more of an industry story.
(01:58):
But I thought this was a massive deal because it's
something that I've had to deal with my entire time
in radio, and it appears I will not have to
deal with it anymore. Did you see, Danny, that the
Federal Trade Commission voted to approve a new rule that
will ban non compete clauses in contracts.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
This is something that radio dudes and TV guys have
had to deal with for years.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yes, it is a nightmare. Every contract I've ever had,
everywhere I've ever worked, they say, if we ever get
rid of you, you are not allowed to work at
another radio station in competing station for a year or
you know, sometimes it's six months, but usually the ones
I've had is a year. And if you're off the
(02:50):
air for a year, out of sight, out of mind,
good luck finding a job after that. It's very difficult,
and it's really stupid because if a station, a radio
station gets rid of you, they don't think you're a
good enough talent. They don't think you're making them money.
So why would you care if that person went to
another a station down the hall from you, down the
(03:12):
street from you, Like, who cares?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
This would be like if an NFL team cuts you
and then you couldn't play in the league for a year.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah, you had to sit out of here. Yeah, he's
like Patrick Mahomes got released by the Chiefs and he
couldn't go sign with the Raiders. He had to sit
out a year and then then he could come back.
They estimate it's not official yet. By the way, it's
going to take one hundred and twenty days or so
for the reversal to take effect. But when it does,
they claim that this will increase workers' salaries by three
(03:43):
hundred billion dollars annually. That sounds like bullshit to me,
but that's what they're saying. I read about this this week,
and it really is more important for what we do
for a living. But that's a big deal, is a
massive deal. It's one of it's one of those things.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
It's kind of like the blackout rules on television for
baseball and basketball and whatnot, where I'm sorry, you're not
allowed to watch that broadcast. You're restricted. It's just stupid.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
It blocked me from a good program director job years back.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Well, Honey, I've extended our line of credit.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
There was nothing we could do about it back in
the day. So it's good that it's hopefully going to
be changing.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah. No, it's it's wonderful and it'll be grave and
I'm not looking to go anywhere. I don't think you
are either. But if something were to happen, we wouldn't
have to sit out for a year, and we'd be
able to be right back, right back in the game.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
At the top. Man, there is no competition for Fox
Sports Radio. Really. I'm bringing that off a que card.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
By the way, did Don Did Don give you that?
Or Scott? Which one gave you that?
Speaker 4 (04:59):
I'm not sure any he gave me the card.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Oh, Danny, you got to read this on Ben's podcast verbatim.
Read it verbatim don't mess a word. Well, Marconi would
be pressed. And today being the twenty seventh of April,
the Saturday, it is International Marconi Day. How are you
celebrating International Marconi Day to day? Danny, do you have any.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
I'm doing a Marconi Worthy podcast.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Well, this is kind of funny because Marconi's birthday is
actually on April twenty fifth, So why are we having
Marconi Day today? It's International Marconi Day. It's the way
it works. Is observed annually on the Saturday closest to
April twenty fifth, which is his birthdate. So here we go.
(05:44):
He he is credited with the invention of the radio
telegraph system, Marconi's Law, and sending the first wireless transmission
over the open sea back in the back in the day,
so you can think, I think Marconian. He had no
idea about what any of the Internet or it exists.
(06:05):
But he was born in eighteen seventy four. He got
the radio wave patent in eighteen ninety six, so he's
twenty two years old, and then in nineteen oh one
he's twenty seven. Cross the ace. He created the mechanism
that transmitted radio waves over the Atlantic Ocean first time,
(06:27):
ever between England and Newfoundland which is now part of Canada.
And yeah, so I mean there's some random, random pun
facts on today's pod. We've got the Magic Man, Old Hollywood,
some other things as well. I want to start with this.
(06:48):
I posted some photos on the Graham and on Facebook.
I don't know if you saw them this past week.
I think on Monday. I forget what day. Monday was,
the day I went to the DMV, So I think
while I was online at the DMV, I was playing
around with my phone and I think I sent a
bunch of photos and that is I'll give you the
(07:09):
inside skinny on that. So I was upside down in
these photos. Some people thought I was photoshopped into these.
I was not photoshopped into those photos. That comes Danny
from one of the coolest places I have been to
in a while. It's a lot of fun and I
recommend it. It's kind of pricey, but it's fun. It's
good time, good date place. I think there's a few
(07:30):
of these around the country. Have you ever been to
the Museum of Illusions. No, Yeah, it's in Hollywood, in
the hood in Hollywood. I stepped over human shit, human piss,
and then we're around some homeless people and there is
(07:52):
the World of Illusions. It's a new improved World Illusions.
It's a fully immersive experience Dady like no other you'll
go to. And it's got four different parts of the museum.
Of course, they charge for all four, and it's pretty cool.
(08:13):
You can put yourself in the Giant House where they
have these massive oversized coffee cups and shoes. And I
think I'll post some more photos today to accompany this
podcast from the Giant House, but I sent some photos
from the Upside Down House, which is really cool. You
(08:34):
walk around this museum and you are in rooms that
are literally upside down, like the refrigerator is on the ceiling,
the toilet is on the ceiling, and you're on the
floor which is now the ceiling when you take the photo,
and it's pretty pretty well. So the Upside Down House,
(08:55):
which I love, That was my favorite, the Giant House,
which was pretty cool, and then they had this one
which is like you stand in front of these photos
and it's kind of it makes you seem like you're
in the the artwork.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Did you wash your hand after you touch the toilet?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
No, I licked the toilet what are you talking about?
But it's looking right in the middle of Hollywood, right
across from the Ripley's Believe It or Not museum. Guy was.
I got down the street a little bit there in Hollywood,
so I went with the wife and this is a
museum that would not exist without Instagram, would not exist
(09:34):
without social media. And it's it's pretty cool. I think
it's twelve.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
I've seen some pop ups that are similar where the
whole point is to take pictures for social media.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah, it's it's different. I was looking for something to
do and I thought that would be something I hadn't done,
to be kind of unique, so why not. And I
told our friend Lorraine Yeah, that she should take her
daughter there and kind of hang out. She's big on
the socials.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
So too short to touch the toilet though.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
The other thing about that now I mentioned, you know,
the magic and all that, and I'll post some more photos.
I'll try to remember do that today. After that, since
we were in Hollywood, my wife had made reservations at
the oldest restaurant in Hollywood. Do you know what the
oldest restaurant in Hollywood is? Daddy Hommy's Tommy's. It probably
(10:35):
is no. We went to Musso and Franks. You ever
been to Musso and Frank's Grill in Hollywood?
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Never been?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I'd never been either. I thought I had been there,
but i'd been to Miss Ellie's, which is across the street.
I thought that was Musso and Franks. I had never
been there. This restaurant dates back to nineteen ninety. Now,
if you're in Boston or New York or Philadelphia or
someplace that's been around for a while, he's like, ah,
there's stuff here from the seventeen hundreds. But in California,
(11:03):
there's not too much that's around that's older than that.
So this thing opened in nineteen nineteen. It's the oldest
restaurant in Hollywood. Said to be the genesis of Hollywood.
That's their big marketing slogan. And it isn't much different
than it was when it opened. And they have a
back room for the Hollywood crowd that comes in there,
(11:27):
but a lot of the big stars I'm talking this
is a place where Charlie Chaplin ate at Humphrey Bogart, Sinatra,
Marlon Brando, big stars back in those days, Marilyn Monroe.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
So is their food in Black and White.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yes, exactly. Orson Wells was somebody that ate there, and
they claim that even now there's still like Johnny Depp,
George Clooney, people like that. Well, we'll still still eat there.
I don't know, It's fine. It was nice. I actually
enjoyed the food. I didn't think I was going to
enjoy it because this is a tourist trap. And then
(12:04):
the thing that I like most forget about. Marlon Brando,
Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe, hughle Hauser did an episode of
visiting with hughl Houser with was this guy on PBS
when I was a kid and we mocked him on
California's Goal.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
That was a cool show.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
It was cool.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
It was around the edges, but it was endearing because
of that.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, so he went there. He did an episode and
I read online. I did not realize this before I
went to Musso and Frank, but I read online that
it is listed as one of the thousand places to
see before you die. Those lists are always dangerous, Danny,
because when you get a list, what if you get
everything on the list, then you're ready to die kill ourselves.
(12:56):
The only complaint I would have at Musso and Frank
is that everything is like kind of o la carte.
You get a meal if you want the fetichini alfredo,
and you want a side of something else, like potatoes.
Everything is ola carte. And I was thinking about pulling
a Mallor there, Danny, where I would just like storm out,
(13:17):
but I actually my wife wanted to eat there, so
we stayed. But I almost pulled a Mallor and just
like walked out. I'll walk out if they don't have
chips at a Mexican restaurant, or they don't provide free
bread at an Italian restaurant. They did provide this an
Italian restaurant, Musso. In fact, they didn't provide the bread,
so I stayed.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
I did, in fact pull a Mallard.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Now on yesterday's podcast, we talked about your DMV adventures. Yeah, well,
I also went to a website thinking I'm not going
to drive over there in person to get an official
document from the State of California. I'm just going to
do it online. Coming up is the annual Bass Lake
(13:57):
Fishing Derby talked about this on the PO podcast before
Where go there and meet up with my pops and
my older brother and don't catch anything, but pay lots
of money to participate. So we have it down to
a science now, Ben everybody needs their one day fishing license,
(14:17):
but not all of us are going to pay that
stupid registration fee because we figure if one of us
is lucky enough to catch a ten thousand dollars baths,
we'll just hand it over to the person who has
the registration paid.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Sure makes sense, yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
And just give them a little cut of the winnings.
But you do need that phishing license. So normally I
go to Big five Sporting Goods, which out here on
the West Coast is like one of our shops where
you can get a one day sport fishing license.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I did not know that. You're telling me something I.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Did not know.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I didn't walk in there and get a little fishing license.
It's great.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, it's like one of the few places here to
do that. I was getting ready for for the weekend
because my wife, he had mentioned to me when we
were at Disneyland last weekend. She said, you know, it's
good that we booked Disneyland this weekend because you're going
to be gone fishing next weekend.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
She said that A couple.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Different times, and I was like, all right, and my
older brother had been bombarding me with text messages about
the fishing trip. In my mind, it's like coming up,
it's Saturday, It's Saturday. I got to get ready for this.
I get online California's website for the Department of Fish
and Wildlife. Well, I've never done this online. Let me
figure it out, and I see it in all read
(15:33):
it says all sales are final. Put in all my information.
I order the one day phishing license for Saturday, which
would be today, and it's twenty one bucks. I'm like, okay, whatever,
I order it. I put in my credit card information. Boom,
and I'm like, man, I'm ready to go. Then about
(15:54):
an hour later, I see a text message from my
older brother, May fourth right coming up in a couple
of weekends.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Oh no, oh, you.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Got to be shitting me. Immediately, I blame my wife
and I text her, why did you tell me next
weekend I was gonna be gone. Yeah, yeah, the first
weekend of May. And I'm like, yeah, that's not this
weekend coming up. So I realized, shit, I paid this
twenty one dollars to get the stupid fishing pass.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
It's the wrong Saturday, idiot.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Then I think back to that all red in capitals,
like somebody was yelling at me on social media, Zach,
I wonder if that's real, Like, can I not adjust
this stupid day pass that I'm not gonna use or
I haven't used.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I do what most.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
People probably try to do if I call the phone
number listed for their contact. Nice lady answers and she says, oh, yeah,
we get this complaint. A lot called me sweetie. She
was an older lady, and I'm like, this is not
a good sign. She sounds like she's ninety.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Slarting with you.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Yeah, she says, sweetie, even though we're the California Department
of Fishing Wildlife, can't help you.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Website we use is ran by a third party.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Oh no, she said.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
We can't even get in there and adjust anything inside
that site.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Ah, that sucks.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
So what I'm like, Oh, so I told her, Well,
if you know, a game warden comes up on our
boat and wants to see my pass and I show
it to him, I'm guessing he wouldn't take my explanation.
He would just give me a ticket. And she's like,
you guessed right, So She's like, I do have one suggestion, though,
(17:39):
and she rambled off a PO box in Sacramento. She said,
print out your current license that's the wrong date. Put
it in an envelope, sweetie, send it over to this
Sacramento PO box, and if they're feeling nice, they might
send you a refund. But you do need to repurchase
another one. Do I just purchase another twenty one dollars
(18:02):
pass and mail this thing off to Sacramento? Do I
just take a chance and go live on the edge
with my fishing pass that's for the wrong day.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Yeah, I would not if you have a chance of
actually winning the money. Yeah, you gotta.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
If I did pull that fish up that has money
attached to it, somebody else would have to claim it regardless.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
All right, So it's twenty one bucks. How much is
a ticket? If you got ticketed? How much is a ticket?
Speaker 4 (18:31):
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
You got to look that up. If you don't have
a fishing license, what's the penalty? Twenty one bucks? Is like,
it's not that much, but that's a meal, right.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Exactly what I was thinking.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I bought something on offer up the following day for
thirty bucks. That kind of thing sticks in your craw
because you're like, damn it, man, what I wasted the
day before?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah? No, for sure, now you could do. I work
with a guy years ago Fox Sworts Radio. I don't
know what happened to him, but he would always drive
in the carpool lane, and every once in a while
he would get a ticket for driving in the carpooling.
But he did the cost benefit analysis and he's like, well,
I've only gotten two tickets, and I drive in the
(19:16):
carpool lane every day. And I've driven in the carpoolane
every day for ten years, and I've gotten two tickets.
So if you look at how much I've paid in
tickets and then how often I've saved time in driving
in the carpoolane, it's worth it.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
I just googled the penalty.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
How much is the penalty is?
Speaker 3 (19:35):
If you are found guilty of fishing without a license
in the state of California, the punishment is a fine
of between one hundred dollars to one thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Wow, you're gonna pay the money. You're gonna be a
riverboat gambler.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Literally, not sure?
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Man, tweet me at Danny G Radio. Let me know
what you would do. I'm not sure how to deal
with this. Do I just spend the twenty one and
it's a forty two dollars fishing license?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
What a waste of money? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
And the tip is also the life act is when
you get a fishing license. Even though it's very convenient
to go to the sporting good store, it's a third party.
So the woman made it seem to me that she
implied that if you went through them, she'd be able
to change.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
She said, had I gone to Big Five like I
normally too, they could have canceled the sale and made
it for the right date. So I totally screwed up
by trying to have convenience and trying to do it online.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Gotcha, he's in complete denial. We have the idiom of
the week. Are you ready for the idiom of the week?
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Idiom of the.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Week not to be confused with idiot of the week,
the idiom of the week. This was actually sent in
by Scott in Northern Kentucky. He said, Hey, Ben, can
you do a deep dive on brass tacks?
Speaker 4 (21:00):
The idiom?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Get down to brass? Tax it actually? People say tax
it's taxed or tax is actually the way it is,
and this goes back many many years, as all these
things do. There's an interesting quirk to this one, though,
because tax and nails were made of metals, but tax
(21:24):
tacks have flatheads. And there's some different versions of how
this came about. Brass tax, get down to brass tax.
One of my favorites that I saw was the early
days of America. And there's a theory that in America,
(21:45):
originally they used coffin tax and when President Lincoln's coffin
was designed after he was assassinated at the Ford Theater,
it was designed with massive silver tax thacks and it
was very unique and it was decorated with the brass
tax as well. And the theory is that that is
(22:09):
where the phrase get down to brass tax came from.
It's now common expression, but that version dates back to
the eighteen sixties. And when you come down to brass tax,
if we may be allowed, the expression, everybody is governed
(22:31):
by selfishness, which is rather rather than confusing. A few
years after that there was an article published that said
coming down to brass tacks. According to the writer, it
meant coming down to the serious business of death. Like
President Lincoln so I like that theory. Kind of unique
(22:52):
and why not. So we're going with that. There's other
theories that are out there that are different. But I
like the American original origin story that it has to
do with President Lincoln being assassinated, and that's where that
phrase comes to, getting down to serious business or death,
(23:12):
coming down to brass tacks. We have a little time.
Let's get to Danny. Let's see some Pop Goes the Culture?
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Ohio, John.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
John, thank you, thank you, thank you, al And what
is up first? Here on Pop Goes the Culture? So
many stories and so little time. I thought this one
was interesting from Jerry Seinfeld. He is getting absolutely roasted
for tearing down modern day films. The movie business. Jerry
(23:56):
Seinfeld said, the movie business is over, he said, and
this upset people who yes, work in the movie business.
But Seinfeld is not wrong. He went on a rant
recently with GQ magazine and he said, Hey, Liz, this
is this is not this is not a good situation.
(24:17):
It's just not film business is dead. It's buried, he said.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
The reason people think this is kind of amusing is
he made the declaration while promoting a film that will
premiere on Netflix. In a couple of weeks. So he
was doing media to promote a film while saying the
film is business is terrible. He's going to make his
directorial debut on May third, something called Unfrosted will drop
(24:48):
on Netflix. I have no idea what that is. Apparently
some big name actors and that I have no idea.
I'm sure my wife will watch it. She'll let me
know if it's good or not, and all that. But
the part of the rant, which I thought is just
wonderful is the part where he tore down the film
industry because I only he's wrong. He said, they don't
(25:09):
have any idea that the movie business is over. They
have no idea. He said, film does not occupy the
pinnacle and the social cultural hierarchy that it did for
most of our lives. He said, when a movie came out,
if it was good, we all went to see it,
We all discussed it, We quoted lines and scenes we liked.
(25:31):
Now we're walking through a fire hose of water just
trying to see. He claimed.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Our parents and grandparents sat in lines of cars to
go to drive in theaters around the country.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Yeah, well, they also wanted to make out in the
car though you know it was part of the deal,
but were born. Yeah, the point of conception. But he's
he's so right on that. I quote a lot lot
of movies, and I mentioned different random things and monologues,
but I don't mention any movie from the last probably
(26:10):
fifteen years at least, maybe longer than that. I think
it's been about fifteen years since movies really really got bad.
I just don't do it. And some people say, well,
it's because you're a boomer. It's like, no, if a
movie is good and there's a good line in it,
I'll quote it. It's just it was like a big
(26:31):
to do to go to the show. I remember my
aunt loved to go to the show. It was a
big deal, and my mom would drop us off at
the movie theater. We thought we were like the coolest
kids in the world. We'd buy one ticket and just
hang out for eight hours at the movie theater watching
different movies. But it's not like that, right Obviously.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Our go to move was my mom would drop us
off at the movie. I think there was like one
day a week where it was like a cheaper price.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Do you remember that.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Yeah, yeah, it was like early in the week Monday
or Tuesday or.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Something like that, like Tuesday movies or something. And so
during the summer, she'd drop us off at a Tuesday
afternoon movie. My older brother would take me into the
rated R movie across the hall and then would rehearse
the lie with me about what the PG movie was
all about?
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Salid, did you ever have to use that information?
Speaker 4 (27:20):
For sure?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Because my mom would quizzes, so what was the movie about?
And my brother would then elbow me and I'd have
to repeat my rehearsed lines.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Oh, okay, all right, that's good, that's solid, that's good teamwork.
That's brother helping brother. That's what that is. Oh I
like this story. A actor from Family Guy has revealed
his parents hate the show and they would like to
show off the air. Keep in mind, this guy has
worked on Family Guy as a voice actor for twenty
(27:51):
five years and he is the voice of Joe Swanson
on the cartoon Family Guy. And he said his parents
hate it. They do not want him on the show.
They want the show to be canceled. He claimed that
his it's because of his parents' backgrounds. His father was
in a monastery for three months. He almost became a monk,
(28:14):
and he said his mom, when he was like thirteen
years old, passed out pamphlets on the sins of masturbation.
Pummel him with your powerful fists of female fury. They
don't like the humor. That's great, man alive. What else
do we have? Let's see do that, And I think, well,
(28:38):
I think we'll ended there. I mean there's some other stuff.
I think we'll ended there. And anything you want to promote, Danny.
It is Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, got day baseball today,
NBA playoffs, playoffs, and the final day of the NFL Draft.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
We didn't get to.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Talk about my Raiders selecting Bowers and how that means
Minshew is going to have playing time. So I actually
kind of like the fact that Bowers fell down to thirteen.
You know, obviously some Raider fans wanted Pennix Junior. I
even talked about him. But you know, after every after
the dust settled, I was like, well, you know what,
(29:15):
Minshew with weapons around him.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
I kind of liked that.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Look at you, you're putting a sugar coat, a coat
of sugar on the on the Raider pick.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
You know, if you weren't able to trade up to
get Jaden Daniels and reattach him to Antonio Pierce. Not
taking a lineman or like an edge guy that would
be a bust or something like that. I kind of
liked that they took the best player available.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Yeah, you took the top tight end in the draft.
Whether he's good or not, that's a different conversation, but
at least you got the top tight end.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
I actually like who your rams took too, because he
also was a guy that would have went a lot
higher had that draft not been chocked full of quarterbacks.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Was it really historically a great quarterback draft?
Speaker 4 (29:59):
Though we don't know yet, Well know in three years, but.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I bet your dollars to donuts.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
No history and statistics say no.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Well, three of the guys a couple months ago were
projected as second or third round picks, and they were
all drafted in the top twelve of the draft.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
I mean, what is that looking to hit a Mahomes
home run? Yeah, my homer.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
As with Mahomes, the people were questioning Mahomes when he
was drafted, like I put up fake stats at Texas
Tech and he ran a gimmicky offense. And yeah, anyway,
I have a wonderful Saturday. We got the mail bag.
Mail bag on Sunday. We will chat with you then
(30:44):
later Skater my flation
Kabbooms.
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 Mallard starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
In the air Everywhere, The Extra Crunchy, extra Spicy Fifth
Hour with Me, Ben Mahler and Danny g Radio. As
we are in the air everywhere. The power of the pod,
the power of the pod, the global reach of podcasting.
(00:50):
Eight days a week, eight days a week, fresh original
audio content which might even be mildly entertaining, every single
day of the week. We thank you for being a
supporter of the podcast. And if you missed the Friday podcast,
the big announcement, the Malor Meet and Greet, first Malord
Meet and Greet of twenty twenty four and the first
(01:13):
one ever in the South below the Mason Dixon Line.
We'll be in South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina. So if
you're in Myrtle Beach or Wilmington, South Carolina. It's not
that far away from those places, and if you want
to drive a little further, I'm not sure what's south
of Charleston, but check it out. So we'll be there.
(01:36):
Details on yesterday's pod, but Danny g is hanging out
with me as we get the Partey started. There was
a pretty big story in our business that didn't get
too much attention. I don't We didn't talk about it
on the Overnight show because it's more of an industry story.
(01:58):
But I thought this was a massive deal because it's
something that I've had to deal with my entire time
in radio, and it appears I will not have to
deal with it anymore. Did you see, Danny, that the
Federal Trade Commission voted to approve a new rule that
will ban non compete clauses in contracts.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
This is something that radio dudes and TV guys have
had to deal with for years.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yes, it is a nightmare. Every contract I've ever had,
everywhere I've ever worked, they say, if we ever get
rid of you, you are not allowed to work at
another radio station in competing station for a year or
you know, sometimes it's six months, but usually the ones
I've had is a year. And if you're off the
(02:50):
air for a year, out of sight, out of mind,
good luck finding a job after that. It's very difficult,
and it's really stupid because if a station, a radio
station gets rid of you, they don't think you're a
good enough talent. They don't think you're making them money.
So why would you care if that person went to
another a station down the hall from you, down the
(03:12):
street from you, Like, who cares?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
This would be like if an NFL team cuts you
and then you couldn't play in the league for a year.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah, you had to sit out of here. Yeah, he's
like Patrick Mahomes got released by the Chiefs and he
couldn't go sign with the Raiders. He had to sit
out a year and then then he could come back.
They estimate it's not official yet. By the way, it's
going to take one hundred and twenty days or so
for the reversal to take effect. But when it does,
they claim that this will increase workers' salaries by three
(03:43):
hundred billion dollars annually. That sounds like bullshit to me,
but that's what they're saying. I read about this this week,
and it really is more important for what we do
for a living. But that's a big deal, is a
massive deal. It's one of it's one of those things.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
It's kind of like the blackout rules on television for
baseball and basketball and whatnot, where I'm sorry, you're not
allowed to watch that broadcast. You're restricted. It's just stupid.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
It blocked me from a good program director job years back.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Well, Honey, I've extended our line of credit.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
There was nothing we could do about it back in
the day. So it's good that it's hopefully going to
be changing.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah. No, it's it's wonderful and it'll be grave and
I'm not looking to go anywhere. I don't think you
are either. But if something were to happen, we wouldn't
have to sit out for a year, and we'd be
able to be right back, right back in the game.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
At the top. Man, there is no competition for Fox
Sports Radio. Really. I'm bringing that off a que card.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
By the way, did Don Did Don give you that?
Or Scott? Which one gave you that?
Speaker 4 (04:59):
I'm not sure any he gave me the card.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Oh, Danny, you got to read this on Ben's podcast verbatim.
Read it verbatim don't mess a word. Well, Marconi would
be pressed. And today being the twenty seventh of April,
the Saturday, it is International Marconi Day. How are you
celebrating International Marconi Day to day? Danny, do you have any.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
I'm doing a Marconi Worthy podcast.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Well, this is kind of funny because Marconi's birthday is
actually on April twenty fifth, So why are we having
Marconi Day today? It's International Marconi Day. It's the way
it works. Is observed annually on the Saturday closest to
April twenty fifth, which is his birthdate. So here we go.
(05:44):
He he is credited with the invention of the radio
telegraph system, Marconi's Law, and sending the first wireless transmission
over the open sea back in the back in the day,
so you can think, I think Marconian. He had no
idea about what any of the Internet or it exists.
(06:05):
But he was born in eighteen seventy four. He got
the radio wave patent in eighteen ninety six, so he's
twenty two years old, and then in nineteen oh one
he's twenty seven. Cross the ace. He created the mechanism
that transmitted radio waves over the Atlantic Ocean first time,
(06:27):
ever between England and Newfoundland which is now part of Canada.
And yeah, so I mean there's some random, random pun
facts on today's pod. We've got the Magic Man, Old Hollywood,
some other things as well. I want to start with this.
(06:48):
I posted some photos on the Graham and on Facebook.
I don't know if you saw them this past week.
I think on Monday. I forget what day. Monday was,
the day I went to the DMV, So I think
while I was online at the DMV, I was playing
around with my phone and I think I sent a
bunch of photos and that is I'll give you the
(07:09):
inside skinny on that. So I was upside down in
these photos. Some people thought I was photoshopped into these.
I was not photoshopped into those photos. That comes Danny
from one of the coolest places I have been to
in a while. It's a lot of fun and I
recommend it. It's kind of pricey, but it's fun. It's
good time, good date place. I think there's a few
(07:30):
of these around the country. Have you ever been to
the Museum of Illusions. No, Yeah, it's in Hollywood, in
the hood in Hollywood. I stepped over human shit, human piss,
and then we're around some homeless people and there is
(07:52):
the World of Illusions. It's a new improved World Illusions.
It's a fully immersive experience Dady like no other you'll
go to. And it's got four different parts of the museum.
Of course, they charge for all four, and it's pretty cool.
(08:13):
You can put yourself in the Giant House where they
have these massive oversized coffee cups and shoes. And I
think I'll post some more photos today to accompany this
podcast from the Giant House, but I sent some photos
from the Upside Down House, which is really cool. You
(08:34):
walk around this museum and you are in rooms that
are literally upside down, like the refrigerator is on the ceiling,
the toilet is on the ceiling, and you're on the
floor which is now the ceiling when you take the photo,
and it's pretty pretty well. So the Upside Down House,
(08:55):
which I love, That was my favorite, the Giant House,
which was pretty cool, and then they had this one
which is like you stand in front of these photos
and it's kind of it makes you seem like you're
in the the artwork.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Did you wash your hand after you touch the toilet?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
No, I licked the toilet what are you talking about?
But it's looking right in the middle of Hollywood, right
across from the Ripley's Believe It or Not museum. Guy was.
I got down the street a little bit there in Hollywood,
so I went with the wife and this is a
museum that would not exist without Instagram, would not exist
(09:34):
without social media. And it's it's pretty cool. I think
it's twelve.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
I've seen some pop ups that are similar where the
whole point is to take pictures for social media.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah, it's it's different. I was looking for something to
do and I thought that would be something I hadn't done,
to be kind of unique, so why not. And I
told our friend Lorraine Yeah, that she should take her
daughter there and kind of hang out. She's big on
the socials.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
So too short to touch the toilet though.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
The other thing about that now I mentioned, you know,
the magic and all that, and I'll post some more photos.
I'll try to remember do that today. After that, since
we were in Hollywood, my wife had made reservations at
the oldest restaurant in Hollywood. Do you know what the
oldest restaurant in Hollywood is? Daddy Hommy's Tommy's. It probably
(10:35):
is no. We went to Musso and Franks. You ever
been to Musso and Frank's Grill in Hollywood?
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Never been?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I'd never been either. I thought I had been there,
but i'd been to Miss Ellie's, which is across the street.
I thought that was Musso and Franks. I had never
been there. This restaurant dates back to nineteen ninety. Now,
if you're in Boston or New York or Philadelphia or
someplace that's been around for a while, he's like, ah,
there's stuff here from the seventeen hundreds. But in California,
(11:03):
there's not too much that's around that's older than that.
So this thing opened in nineteen nineteen. It's the oldest
restaurant in Hollywood. Said to be the genesis of Hollywood.
That's their big marketing slogan. And it isn't much different
than it was when it opened. And they have a
back room for the Hollywood crowd that comes in there,
(11:27):
but a lot of the big stars I'm talking this
is a place where Charlie Chaplin ate at Humphrey Bogart, Sinatra,
Marlon Brando, big stars back in those days, Marilyn Monroe.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
So is their food in Black and White.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yes, exactly. Orson Wells was somebody that ate there, and
they claim that even now there's still like Johnny Depp,
George Clooney, people like that. Well, we'll still still eat there.
I don't know, It's fine. It was nice. I actually
enjoyed the food. I didn't think I was going to
enjoy it because this is a tourist trap. And then
(12:04):
the thing that I like most forget about. Marlon Brando,
Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe, hughle Hauser did an episode of
visiting with hughl Houser with was this guy on PBS
when I was a kid and we mocked him on
California's Goal.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
That was a cool show.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
It was cool.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
It was around the edges, but it was endearing because
of that.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, so he went there. He did an episode and
I read online. I did not realize this before I
went to Musso and Frank, but I read online that
it is listed as one of the thousand places to
see before you die. Those lists are always dangerous, Danny,
because when you get a list, what if you get
everything on the list, then you're ready to die kill ourselves.
(12:56):
The only complaint I would have at Musso and Frank
is that everything is like kind of o la carte.
You get a meal if you want the fetichini alfredo,
and you want a side of something else, like potatoes.
Everything is ola carte. And I was thinking about pulling
a Mallor there, Danny, where I would just like storm out,
(13:17):
but I actually my wife wanted to eat there, so
we stayed. But I almost pulled a Mallor and just
like walked out. I'll walk out if they don't have
chips at a Mexican restaurant, or they don't provide free
bread at an Italian restaurant. They did provide this an
Italian restaurant, Musso. In fact, they didn't provide the bread,
so I stayed.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
I did, in fact pull a Mallard.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Now on yesterday's podcast, we talked about your DMV adventures. Yeah, well,
I also went to a website thinking I'm not going
to drive over there in person to get an official
document from the State of California. I'm just going to
do it online. Coming up is the annual Bass Lake
(13:57):
Fishing Derby talked about this on the PO podcast before
Where go there and meet up with my pops and
my older brother and don't catch anything, but pay lots
of money to participate. So we have it down to
a science now, Ben everybody needs their one day fishing license,
(14:17):
but not all of us are going to pay that
stupid registration fee because we figure if one of us
is lucky enough to catch a ten thousand dollars baths,
we'll just hand it over to the person who has
the registration paid.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Sure makes sense, yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
And just give them a little cut of the winnings.
But you do need that phishing license. So normally I
go to Big five Sporting Goods, which out here on
the West Coast is like one of our shops where
you can get a one day sport fishing license.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I did not know that. You're telling me something I.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Did not know.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I didn't walk in there and get a little fishing license.
It's great.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, it's like one of the few places here to
do that. I was getting ready for for the weekend
because my wife, he had mentioned to me when we
were at Disneyland last weekend. She said, you know, it's
good that we booked Disneyland this weekend because you're going
to be gone fishing next weekend.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
She said that A couple.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Different times, and I was like, all right, and my
older brother had been bombarding me with text messages about
the fishing trip. In my mind, it's like coming up,
it's Saturday, It's Saturday. I got to get ready for this.
I get online California's website for the Department of Fish
and Wildlife. Well, I've never done this online. Let me
figure it out, and I see it in all read
(15:33):
it says all sales are final. Put in all my information.
I order the one day phishing license for Saturday, which
would be today, and it's twenty one bucks. I'm like, okay, whatever,
I order it. I put in my credit card information. Boom,
and I'm like, man, I'm ready to go. Then about
(15:54):
an hour later, I see a text message from my
older brother, May fourth right coming up in a couple
of weekends.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Oh no, oh, you.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Got to be shitting me. Immediately, I blame my wife
and I text her, why did you tell me next
weekend I was gonna be gone. Yeah, yeah, the first
weekend of May. And I'm like, yeah, that's not this
weekend coming up. So I realized, shit, I paid this
twenty one dollars to get the stupid fishing pass.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
It's the wrong Saturday, idiot.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Then I think back to that all red in capitals,
like somebody was yelling at me on social media, Zach,
I wonder if that's real, Like, can I not adjust
this stupid day pass that I'm not gonna use or
I haven't used.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I do what most.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
People probably try to do if I call the phone
number listed for their contact. Nice lady answers and she says, oh, yeah,
we get this complaint. A lot called me sweetie. She
was an older lady, and I'm like, this is not
a good sign. She sounds like she's ninety.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Slarting with you.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Yeah, she says, sweetie, even though we're the California Department
of Fishing Wildlife, can't help you.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Website we use is ran by a third party.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Oh no, she said.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
We can't even get in there and adjust anything inside
that site.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Ah, that sucks.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
So what I'm like, Oh, so I told her, Well,
if you know, a game warden comes up on our
boat and wants to see my pass and I show
it to him, I'm guessing he wouldn't take my explanation.
He would just give me a ticket. And she's like,
you guessed right, So She's like, I do have one suggestion, though,
(17:39):
and she rambled off a PO box in Sacramento. She said,
print out your current license that's the wrong date. Put
it in an envelope, sweetie, send it over to this
Sacramento PO box, and if they're feeling nice, they might
send you a refund. But you do need to repurchase
another one. Do I just purchase another twenty one dollars
(18:02):
pass and mail this thing off to Sacramento? Do I
just take a chance and go live on the edge
with my fishing pass that's for the wrong day.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Yeah, I would not if you have a chance of
actually winning the money. Yeah, you gotta.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
If I did pull that fish up that has money
attached to it, somebody else would have to claim it regardless.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
All right, So it's twenty one bucks. How much is
a ticket? If you got ticketed? How much is a ticket?
Speaker 4 (18:31):
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
You got to look that up. If you don't have
a fishing license, what's the penalty? Twenty one bucks? Is like,
it's not that much, but that's a meal, right.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Exactly what I was thinking.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I bought something on offer up the following day for
thirty bucks. That kind of thing sticks in your craw
because you're like, damn it, man, what I wasted the
day before?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah? No, for sure, now you could do. I work
with a guy years ago Fox Sworts Radio. I don't
know what happened to him, but he would always drive
in the carpool lane, and every once in a while
he would get a ticket for driving in the carpooling.
But he did the cost benefit analysis and he's like, well,
I've only gotten two tickets, and I drive in the
(19:16):
carpool lane every day. And I've driven in the carpoolane
every day for ten years, and I've gotten two tickets.
So if you look at how much I've paid in
tickets and then how often I've saved time in driving
in the carpoolane, it's worth it.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
I just googled the penalty.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
How much is the penalty is?
Speaker 3 (19:35):
If you are found guilty of fishing without a license
in the state of California, the punishment is a fine
of between one hundred dollars to one thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Wow, you're gonna pay the money. You're gonna be a
riverboat gambler.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Literally, not sure?
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Man, tweet me at Danny G Radio. Let me know
what you would do. I'm not sure how to deal
with this. Do I just spend the twenty one and
it's a forty two dollars fishing license?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
What a waste of money? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
And the tip is also the life act is when
you get a fishing license. Even though it's very convenient
to go to the sporting good store, it's a third party.
So the woman made it seem to me that she
implied that if you went through them, she'd be able
to change.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
She said, had I gone to Big Five like I
normally too, they could have canceled the sale and made
it for the right date. So I totally screwed up
by trying to have convenience and trying to do it online.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Gotcha, he's in complete denial. We have the idiom of
the week. Are you ready for the idiom of the week?
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Idiom of the.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Week not to be confused with idiot of the week,
the idiom of the week. This was actually sent in
by Scott in Northern Kentucky. He said, Hey, Ben, can
you do a deep dive on brass tacks?
Speaker 4 (21:00):
The idiom?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Get down to brass? Tax it actually? People say tax
it's taxed or tax is actually the way it is,
and this goes back many many years, as all these
things do. There's an interesting quirk to this one, though,
because tax and nails were made of metals, but tax
(21:24):
tacks have flatheads. And there's some different versions of how
this came about. Brass tax, get down to brass tax.
One of my favorites that I saw was the early
days of America. And there's a theory that in America,
(21:45):
originally they used coffin tax and when President Lincoln's coffin
was designed after he was assassinated at the Ford Theater,
it was designed with massive silver tax thacks and it
was very unique and it was decorated with the brass
tax as well. And the theory is that that is
(22:09):
where the phrase get down to brass tax came from.
It's now common expression, but that version dates back to
the eighteen sixties. And when you come down to brass tax,
if we may be allowed, the expression, everybody is governed
(22:31):
by selfishness, which is rather rather than confusing. A few
years after that there was an article published that said
coming down to brass tacks. According to the writer, it
meant coming down to the serious business of death. Like
President Lincoln so I like that theory. Kind of unique
(22:52):
and why not. So we're going with that. There's other
theories that are out there that are different. But I
like the American original origin story that it has to
do with President Lincoln being assassinated, and that's where that
phrase comes to, getting down to serious business or death,
(23:12):
coming down to brass tacks. We have a little time.
Let's get to Danny. Let's see some Pop Goes the Culture?
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Ohio, John.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
John, thank you, thank you, thank you, al And what
is up first? Here on Pop Goes the Culture? So
many stories and so little time. I thought this one
was interesting from Jerry Seinfeld. He is getting absolutely roasted
for tearing down modern day films. The movie business. Jerry
(23:56):
Seinfeld said, the movie business is over, he said, and
this upset people who yes, work in the movie business.
But Seinfeld is not wrong. He went on a rant
recently with GQ magazine and he said, Hey, Liz, this
is this is not this is not a good situation.
(24:17):
It's just not film business is dead. It's buried, he said.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
The reason people think this is kind of amusing is
he made the declaration while promoting a film that will
premiere on Netflix. In a couple of weeks. So he
was doing media to promote a film while saying the
film is business is terrible. He's going to make his
directorial debut on May third, something called Unfrosted will drop
(24:48):
on Netflix. I have no idea what that is. Apparently
some big name actors and that I have no idea.
I'm sure my wife will watch it. She'll let me
know if it's good or not, and all that. But
the part of the rant, which I thought is just
wonderful is the part where he tore down the film
industry because I only he's wrong. He said, they don't
(25:09):
have any idea that the movie business is over. They
have no idea. He said, film does not occupy the
pinnacle and the social cultural hierarchy that it did for
most of our lives. He said, when a movie came out,
if it was good, we all went to see it,
We all discussed it, We quoted lines and scenes we liked.
(25:31):
Now we're walking through a fire hose of water just
trying to see. He claimed.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Our parents and grandparents sat in lines of cars to
go to drive in theaters around the country.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Yeah, well, they also wanted to make out in the
car though you know it was part of the deal,
but were born. Yeah, the point of conception. But he's
he's so right on that. I quote a lot lot
of movies, and I mentioned different random things and monologues,
but I don't mention any movie from the last probably
(26:10):
fifteen years at least, maybe longer than that. I think
it's been about fifteen years since movies really really got bad.
I just don't do it. And some people say, well,
it's because you're a boomer. It's like, no, if a
movie is good and there's a good line in it,
I'll quote it. It's just it was like a big
(26:31):
to do to go to the show. I remember my
aunt loved to go to the show. It was a
big deal, and my mom would drop us off at
the movie theater. We thought we were like the coolest
kids in the world. We'd buy one ticket and just
hang out for eight hours at the movie theater watching
different movies. But it's not like that, right Obviously.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Our go to move was my mom would drop us
off at the movie. I think there was like one
day a week where it was like a cheaper price.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Do you remember that.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Yeah, yeah, it was like early in the week Monday
or Tuesday or.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Something like that, like Tuesday movies or something. And so
during the summer, she'd drop us off at a Tuesday
afternoon movie. My older brother would take me into the
rated R movie across the hall and then would rehearse
the lie with me about what the PG movie was
all about?
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Salid, did you ever have to use that information?
Speaker 4 (27:20):
For sure?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Because my mom would quizzes, so what was the movie about?
And my brother would then elbow me and I'd have
to repeat my rehearsed lines.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Oh, okay, all right, that's good, that's solid, that's good teamwork.
That's brother helping brother. That's what that is. Oh I
like this story. A actor from Family Guy has revealed
his parents hate the show and they would like to
show off the air. Keep in mind, this guy has
worked on Family Guy as a voice actor for twenty
(27:51):
five years and he is the voice of Joe Swanson
on the cartoon Family Guy. And he said his parents
hate it. They do not want him on the show.
They want the show to be canceled. He claimed that
his it's because of his parents' backgrounds. His father was
in a monastery for three months. He almost became a monk,
(28:14):
and he said his mom, when he was like thirteen
years old, passed out pamphlets on the sins of masturbation.
Pummel him with your powerful fists of female fury. They
don't like the humor. That's great, man alive. What else
do we have? Let's see do that, And I think, well,
(28:38):
I think we'll ended there. I mean there's some other stuff.
I think we'll ended there. And anything you want to promote, Danny.
It is Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, got day baseball today,
NBA playoffs, playoffs, and the final day of the NFL Draft.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
We didn't get to.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Talk about my Raiders selecting Bowers and how that means
Minshew is going to have playing time. So I actually
kind of like the fact that Bowers fell down to thirteen.
You know, obviously some Raider fans wanted Pennix Junior. I
even talked about him. But you know, after every after
the dust settled, I was like, well, you know what,
(29:15):
Minshew with weapons around him.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
I kind of liked that.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Look at you, you're putting a sugar coat, a coat
of sugar on the on the Raider pick.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
You know, if you weren't able to trade up to
get Jaden Daniels and reattach him to Antonio Pierce. Not
taking a lineman or like an edge guy that would
be a bust or something like that. I kind of
liked that they took the best player available.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Yeah, you took the top tight end in the draft.
Whether he's good or not, that's a different conversation, but
at least you got the top tight end.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
I actually like who your rams took too, because he
also was a guy that would have went a lot
higher had that draft not been chocked full of quarterbacks.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Was it really historically a great quarterback draft?
Speaker 4 (29:59):
Though we don't know yet, Well know in three years, but.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I bet your dollars to donuts.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
No history and statistics say no.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Well, three of the guys a couple months ago were
projected as second or third round picks, and they were
all drafted in the top twelve of the draft.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
I mean, what is that looking to hit a Mahomes
home run? Yeah, my homer.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
As with Mahomes, the people were questioning Mahomes when he
was drafted, like I put up fake stats at Texas
Tech and he ran a gimmicky offense. And yeah, anyway,
I have a wonderful Saturday. We got the mail bag.
Mail bag on Sunday. We will chat with you then
(30:44):
