Speaker 1 (00:00):
Cutbooms.
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 sole fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 3 (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 (00:28):
In the air everywhere.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
The Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler. That would be me
and Danny G Radio and a happy, happy, happy, happy
Saturday to youth. See twenty second day of February. It's
National Margarita Day today, so celebrate appropriately. I'm sure there'll
be National Margarita Day in July and then there'll be
one in November. But there it is, and it's cook
(00:54):
a Sweet Potato Day today as well.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Big day, big holiday for sure.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
On this podcast though, Danny is with me, Danny G Radio,
and we will have a bye bye mayor quote me,
the Komodo dragon in the room, and a couple other things.
We'll see if we have time to get to those things.
I did see the Yankees yesterday. Nanny decided to change
their their facial hair policy, which is I think been
in place my entire life.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I think, I don't know. Maybe when I was.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
A little kid, they had facial hair, but since George
Steinrenner owned the team, he put that in there. And
now the New York Yankees will have players wearing well
groomed beards moving forward.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Stars attract other stars, so exciting. So I can't tell
you how excited I am about that.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
And yeah, clearly that's what they were missing. If they
only had beards, they might have made some defensive plays
against the Dodgers. And the fifth inning of Game five
there of the World Series. And I was watching some
NBA last night and a tremendous effort by the Knickerbockers
to lose a game by thirty seven points to supposedly
(02:07):
a big matchup with Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
My god, that was that was not so?
Speaker 4 (02:12):
But we begin the Saturday Pod with some sad, melancholy
news that we were unaware of.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
We were unaware of.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
This news until Milkman Mike passed the story on to
us on Friday. The I call this the spirit animal
of the Mala militia has checked out. We didn't know
about this, had actually happened back in late December, but
Parker the snow Dog unfortunately not with the world anymore.
The Bernice Mountain dog that had really been the go
(02:45):
to Bronco b roll dog and we met Parker the
snow Dog years ago, came in studio and one of
the one of the coolest, nice part of the snow dog,
just very chill, mellow and wonderful. My condolences to Dustin
who is the one that was behind the magic of
(03:06):
Parker the snow Dog. And anytime you watch the Bronco
game on TV for the last I don't even know
how many years, they'd inevitably do a shot coming back
from break where they'd put the the graphics, the chiron
up with the sponsors and then the shot would be
Parker the snow Dog with the rocky mountains in the
background covered in snow. And unfortunately, we learned yesterday that
(03:32):
this dog is beautiful, just cool, chill, like an every
dog I'm in around. You try to put clothes on
the dog or try to direct the dog, and a
lot of the times the dogs.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Will do what they want to do because you know
they dogs.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
This dog, Parker the snow Dog, it's this breed of dog,
the Bernice Mountain dog, and it would just sit there
with sunglasses on and a jersey and a fugazy hat
and just be as happy as could be. And in,
I guess died in a car accident. Actually Corners, Yeah,
(04:07):
that was on the TV station there in Denver about
ice fishing at the end of December there and unfortunately
did not make an accident out on a highway forty
and so our thoughts there.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
But it was it was cool, it was great. Parker
was a character on the show.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Thanks to to Dustin, Parker had become a big part
of the show. He was eight and a half years
old the time he died. Now, those dogs don't actually live,
they don't have long lifespans, but Parker would have certainly
lived longer than that. Obviously with dying in the as
a result of the car accident and this dog, Danny,
I don't know if you were there when he came
in or not. I think you had left by then.
(04:46):
But Parker came in studio and hung out with us.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
But he had become over the years.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
He was named the a mascot of the famous Loveland
ski area in Colorado that was twenty seventeen, he was
sworn in as the honorary mayor of Georgetown, Colorado. It's
a little mountain town and it's about ten miles or
so away from from that ski area that was in
(05:13):
twenty twenty during the COVID year.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
And from what I understand, I.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Was reading the story, and I know Dustin had done
a lot in the community in Denver in that area,
and I know it popped up on the local TV
news quite a bit. The morning shows loved Parker the
snow dog in. Dustin sent some clips out every so
often and whatnot. And he was also a therapy dog,
so you know, the dog touched a lot of people's lives, so.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
That sucks. I do remember when he was in the
studio with you. That was some really good photos that
you had with the dogs. One of the only things
I ever liked about the Broncos.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
That's right, you are, mister raider. Parker was.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Parker was equal opportunity all Colorado sports. I don't think
he ever w or a rock East Jersey because why
would you. But they like the Nuggets and the and
the Broncos and probably the Avalanche as well.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
And I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
I mean, it's it's like such a unique thing to
have a dog that becomes that popular, and who knows,
maybe Dustin will be able to, you know, create another
you know, not Parker the snow Dog, but whoever comes next.
But they this story. There was some stuff in the
story I had no idea about. They said that Parker's
annual birthday celebration, Parker Palooza, raised money for for a
(06:32):
camp for children and adults with different disabilities that we're
living with them. So that was maybe we stole mallor
Palooza from Parker Palooza.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Or vice versa.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
I don't know, but either way, rest in peace, park
of the snow Dog. And that was I was happy
I got to meet you and Dustin Mike Condolence's pal.
I was trying to I was trying to send him
a message and I I.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Was singing Danny and I I want to say hello
to Dustin.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
And I don't think I have an email. I might
have an email, I didn't find it.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
If I do.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
And then there's a there's an X account for park
of the snow Dog, but I don't know if he's
using it. I mean, so anyway, hopefully he'll be able
to hear this at some point, So my thoughts go
out to Dustin, and Dustin you can quote me, you
can absolutely, And Dan.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I don't know if you can quote me Danny, but
he can quote me. I don't know about you.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
I'm coming off a long week here because the Corrino
and Richard we filled, and then first for the Dan
Patrick showing. The hours of that show match more like
your schedule because I was waking up at four in
the morning. Then to end the week, we did the
Colin Cowherd showing, which the hours were better because on
(07:46):
the West Coast it starts at nine am, but that
means you sit in traffic between seven and eight am
in LA, and that is gridlock. It was quite the week,
but on air it was awesome because I debuted a
new game. You know, it's one thing you and I
have in common. We both do wacky morning show style
(08:06):
games on our shows. The new one you'd like, Ben,
because it highlights big mouths in the sports world. Okay,
all right, and I'm calling it quote me, so I'm
gonna give you a sample, and I'm guessing you're gonna
be good at this game because you read a lot
of quotes from the sports world on your overnight show. Yeah,
(08:28):
and play a lot of audio, you know, sound bites
from mostly athletes. But in this case, in this game,
I'm highlighting not just athletes but talking heads. Okay, all right,
so I'll give you a sample question here. In Lebron's case,
the guest pettiness and insecurity aren't limited to just people
who aren't super successful in the field. Quote me, is
(08:52):
that a Jonas Knox, b Kendrick Perkins or CD Doug
Gottlieb dumb?
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Well, well, I don't think it was Jonas. I'm gonna
go that sounds like Gottlieb to me.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Is that Gottlieb reacting to Lebron tweeting at him?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
It was.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
It was amusing to see Lebron. Who these these guys,
Danny that are like a you know, they don't pay attention.
There's such big stars to people like us that do
sports rade and got leaves on during the day a
couple hours a day, and Lebron, you know, he was
fully aware of everything, got all of us. What what
(09:38):
we say about Bronni James and him? Lebron is obsessed
with Lebron. The only thing Lebron loves more than Lebron
is Lebron. So he's aware of all of that, and
that's all he just that was a dead giveaway I like.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
To give him. If he was a Clipper, you would
love him and be sucking toes. I would never do that. Sure,
all right, here's so here's the next question for you.
Let's see how good you can do here.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
We're playing quote me.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Okay, our live coveragere in the fifth hour, Live on
tape the fifth Hour, Ben Mallard.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Danny g Radio. Okay, you're either gonna draft me or
you're not. If you don't draft me, that's your fault.
You've got to remember you're the same team that's got
to play me for the rest of my career. And
I'll remember that a cam Ward b Shador Sanders or
C Dylan Gabriel I am.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
I'm gonna go one hundred percent, No lifeline needed on
this one. That is the words that will likely come
back to haunt cam.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Ward ding Ding ding Ding.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yeah, I'm gonna go out and live and say that
cam Ward will probably not be that good and that
will come back to bite him in the tukas when
people point out boy. I wish we could play cam
Ward every game the way cam Ward's playing.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Sign me up for some of that.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
So far, you're two for two. Here's the third one
for you. Third and final will quote me question for
Ben Mallor. Here we go, Gean Carlos Stanton having an
injured elbow, check that both elbows? Is Shashank redemption? Like?
Remember when red yawned and stretched? Is that a Rob Parker, me,
(11:17):
Jason Smith or c Ben Maller.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Let me see, let's go back to a Malor Mallard monologue.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I don't know I quoted shosh ink redemption this week?
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Did and by the way, the contestant on the air
got your name correct, and that one himself a swiggy.
Oh oh, Bobby is trying to sweep here, Bobby?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Are you serious?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
We had two sweeps two days in a row.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
What happens? Will you stick me on da? I know?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Ben Maller said that for fun, let's go to round three.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
A right grasped the bomby.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah, Bobby, you already get a swiggy.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Oh nice? Oh that's I actually took. I let Covino.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Well, I'll tell the story later. But I did use
the Covino and rich swag. I took it with me
on a little road trip, so I did, and it's solid.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah, so that's a fun game. That's and you play
it every year.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
No, it worked out nice, and I played it. I
put it together for Friday, started the week with it
on the Dan Patrick Show as kind of a walkthrough,
and I ended the week on Friday playing the game.
But I put a nice added touch to it. After
the contestant got the correct answer, then I played what
the real audio cut sounded like.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Oh, yeah, that's great. Yeah, that's a fun game.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
I I still have not debuted the game that I
was planning on debuting.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Hopefully this week will debut the.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Game Oh smarter than your Tech Queen.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Well something along those lines. Yeah, that's the plan, but
we have not done it. We actually have some imaging done,
we just haven't actually put the game on. Trying to
figure out when to slide the game in. And I
want to have like.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Hall of Famers.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
I want to have who's are you smarter than the
FSR Tech Queen? But have like Blair and Maine, Marcel
and hollering James. Yeah, we're trying to figure out the
logistics of how many people we want to play against Lorraine.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Is it one versus one?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Is it two versus one? Oh? I got you. Okay,
I see.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
There's some technical stuff that has to be worked out
on that. But as far as the the Komodo dragon
in the room, and this is involves the Coveno enrich
item that I have here, the what do you call
that thing?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
What's the name of We call it because the name
of the brand is Swiggy, so we call it a
C n R Swiggy.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Swiggy Okay, yeah, yeah, So I took that with me
to the iconic, world famous San Diego Zoo. Yes, we'll
visit to the same right, my old stomping grounds in
San Diego. And I absolutely love that area. There's it's
so busy though on the weekends. And I did do
what you did last time you went to San Diego.
(14:10):
We went down way too early, so I was like
half awake, half asleep early on a Saturday morning and
traveled down to the San Diego Zoo and with my
sister in law, brother in law and niece nephew, and
we were cruising around the zoo and the first thing
we saw when we got into the San Diego Zoo.
(14:33):
We walked over there was a rhino that was the
talk of the zoo, and the rhino.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Was just eating whatever.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
And we determined very quickly that the rhino was a
male rhino, and that the rhino was how should we
say this, standing at attention there and looked. I thought
rhinos on the we had four legs. It appeared the
rhino had five legs. Of course, this was kind of
awkward because I have my niece and nephew and they
(15:05):
of course immediately, you know, little kids when they see that,
it's an eye opening what's eye opening for adults too?
But yeah, the rhino putting on a show for all
the kids at the front of the San diegozo and
it was all the parents are laughing, the kids are
like pointing.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
It's quite the scene there, right out.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Of a movie, like an old kind of rhino's nickname
is Kickstand.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Yeah, my god, how do they run? They run very fast.
I don't know how they're able to run like.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
That, but there they are.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
And we saw that we saw elephants, drafts, hippos, a
bunch of random animals in between. And I'd not been
to the San Diego Zoo in a long time.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
It is beautiful.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
It's very pricey, but I did get a photo with
the Komodo dragon in the room.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I was right there. They have a little Komodo dragon.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Thing there and I wandered in and it was very cool.
Use the Komodo dragon in many a malar monologue over
the years, I have referenced the iconic Kimodo dragon, and
there I was side by side.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I thought. The coolest thing though, other than the Komodo
dragon were.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
The the hippos, which it was so cool because the
way they did it at the zoo is beautiful. They
have this viewing area where you can see under the
water and over the water, and so the hippos can
hold their breath for like five six, seven minutes or
something like that, so it's awesome. They're massive and you
see them jump in the water and they're uh, you know,
(16:36):
it's just cool. It's just an awesome, breathtaking thing to
see that. And that was pretty neat the Polar bears
was cool. Similar setup they had for the polar bears there,
but it is it's a wonderful zoo they did. You know,
every time I go I haven't been in a long time,
probably been. I mean, god, I can't imagine how long
it's been, but long time.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
But it was awesome. Did you take that steep pike
up pill I've talked about.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Out yes, and I went yes.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
I did not realize that that was what we were doing,
but we we did end up going up up the hill.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
I did not go on the people mover thing though
that they have there.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I did not.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
I did not feel that was safe, probably very safe,
but I chose not to to do that.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
And we didn't eat anything. We brought food.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Amazing gift shop though they they really go for it
there at the San Diego Zoo gift shop. Not as
expensive as Disneyland or anything like that, but that's you know,
you're helping feed the animals or.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Helping the people that work at the zoo.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
I guess one way, one way or another, but it
was it was a good time. And just drove down
for the day and drove back and it was it
was smooth and and the cool thing about it was
we timed it perfectly that we went so early in
the morning on Saturday from you know, from the La area.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
We got there and on the way back.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
It was bumper to bumper on the other side, but
we weren't in it smooth sailing, so at that time
it's not you know, and I live a little south
of LA so it's not that that far that far drive,
so it was pretty pretty good good times for sure.
So I enjoyed the same again, yes, not more than that.
(18:15):
Just wow, that's very impressive. You will not forget that time.
Now for the phrase of the week, the phrase the week.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
That's right, the phrase of the week.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
The phrase of the week this week is a request
from John in Dallas, Texas. He says, many times I
can sort of figure out what a certain phrase might
point back to, but I don't have any idea on
this one. In a nutshell. I've heard you use it,
and I am interested in the origin the background, says
John in Dallas. Well, John, you've come to the right place.
(18:50):
I do use that phrase every so often. I don't
know how often, maybe once a week, once a month,
who knows, it's in my lexicon in a nutshell And
for those that don't know, maybe in the back of
the room they do not know. It's basically just to
tighten things up, be concise, get to the point, please
right reduce everything in just the simplest, most simplistic form.
(19:13):
In a nutshell, you cut through all the bull crap
and you get down to in a nut show and
that's it. And so it's my way of saying, I'm
not giving you the entire story. I'm just giving you
the most important facts, which is pretty much all we
do in radio. You just have to worry about the surface.
You don't have to go below the surface. You're on
the surface and.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
That's where you go.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
So the origin on this, the first time that phrase
was used quite literal, was around the first century So
in a nutshell goes all the way back to the
first century AD, and it was in a text titled
Plenty's Natural History.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Okay, Plenty tells the tale.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Of how his friend told him that he saw a
copy of Homer's famous poem and it was being made
in a miniature form so that the whole poem, written
on parchment, could be fit into the shell of a walnut.
And therefore the phrase in a nutshell came to be used.
(20:18):
And that's from around the first century AD and means
to this day it's not used by that many people,
but I use it, and you're referring to reducing something
massive into the simple and brief and understandable form in
a nutshell.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
So thank you.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
John in Dallas, and our thoughts are with the Maverick
fans who are still in mourning. Although the way Lucas looked,
I don't know how much morning should be at least
right now, you have to wait until he actually turns
out to play. Well, you haven't played that well yet.
We'll see what happens with that for sure.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
One hundred.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Well, he's still heard. At least he's trying to play
through the injury. Anthony Davis is I don't know, somewhere
chilling on a couch.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
I didn't see him play on Thursday though, I don't
know if he was trying to play that night.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Uh, Luca, I'm just.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Saying, uh, now, I I did graduate yet again. I
want to pat myself on the back here. I hope
I don't hurt my back. I heart you, Danny and
I got the yearly email from the boss.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
We have to every year. We have to take FCC.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Training online and it's it's very easy. It's one but
it's like going to the DMV. You know, if you
if you get a traffic ticket, you go to the
DMV and you have to do online school.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
It's it's similar to that, and most this.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
One's about the dump button and the eas tests and
words and material that we can't stay on the radio, like.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Fu shitty functions.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Uh yeah, yeah, when it's something leaving the body.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
But but I I did see in the video and
I was watching him saying, well, it said save harbor
hours from ten.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
I thought of you during that safe harbor little lecture.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
So I'm like, why am I doing this? I'm on
in the safe harbor. I can say fuck because I'm
on in the safe harbor.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
I'm allowed to.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
No, you can't say that just because you're in the
safe harbor.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Oh, I can't.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
No, But you can say rhinos weenie.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
All right, so I can't say rhino' REENI but I
as it said safe harbor. You know that the rules
are are down and yeah, no, the company wouldn't want
me to do I don't think the FCC would care,
but the company probably would not want me to to
do that.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Yeah. And I and the issue with what we're doing
is a network is on nationwide, so do you have
the possibility of offending somebody in the Bible Belt.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Well possibility.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Yeah, that's the issue that we deal with that local
radio guys don't have to deal with. If we f up,
we like my show is like six hundred stations at
night or whatever, it's conceivable that every station would be fine.
Six hundred stations would be fine. And what's the minimum?
Would they say? Like, is it thirty thousand dollars?
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Thirty five thousand dollars? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, so let's uh, let's do some Malor math here.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Let me get my calculator.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Let me get my calculator out here, hold on a
sec here, and and and and all.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Right, so thirty five thousand times, we'll just do six hundred.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Uh yeah, that would.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Be if my math is correct. Is that twenty one
million dollars at Wow? That's you imagine I going one
night from the bar and say the thing I can't
say at the time. I can't say it with twenty
one million dollars in fines.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
You have to sell the Malor mansion to come up
with that kind of money.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Oh, sell them Malar mansion. I'd be pushing shopping carts.
But now I wouldn't be working at the store. I
would have all my my possessions in the shopping cart.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Wow, that's that is craziness. Man. I didn't realize the
numbers the math on that that is that is next
level is is what that is? Geez Luise oh Man?
Speaker 3 (24:10):
All right?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Anyway, Uh, it is the fifth hour.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
By the way, you want to send a message in
for the mail bag, which is tomorrow. It may be
used tomorrow, I mean may be used tomorrow, maybe not,
but you can send him a message in real fifth
hour at gmail dot com. That's real fifth hour at
gmail dot com. And I just mentioned if you want,
(24:35):
if you want, if you want credit, mention your name
and mention where you're what city you're from. A lot
of you idiots email me and you don't mention that,
So that's a bad job by you.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
I usually don't even use those questions. I follow up.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
I didn't want to do a follow up to yesterday.
We did a Canadian heavy malor fifth hour here yesterday
as we reacted to a hostile takeover by our can
brothers and sisters and our one because of the USA
versus Canada and that four nations thing and whatnot. I
did see the TV ratings nine point three million, which
(25:12):
for hockey is orgasmic. Right, nine point three million people
watching a hockey game. That's set a record for any
hockey game, any non NFL event on the ESPN plus,
I guess it is.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
That is a lot of bandwagon motherfuckers.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Well my point I was getting.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
I mentioned the hockey cult yesterday, which I don't know
if Colvino and Rich deal with this, but I get
the hockey cult where people yell at me for not
talking hockey, and then when I talk hockey they yell
at me for talking hockey because I'm not knowledgeable about hockey.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
So it's oh yeah, this is the same same people,
same sort of people that are soccer fans, same thing.
Oh yeah, you're right, World Cup. Yeah, if you talk
about it, or if you don't talk about it, how
you're not covering it. As soon as you talk about it.
You don't know about this sport.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Exactly. That's that's what we deal with you, which is fine. Whatever.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
People complain about everything, and they give them something to
complain about, and and that's that's fine. And then I'll
do my rant where I say, well it's I do broadcasting,
not narrow casting. Hockey's narrow and then they that really
just adds ask to the fire and then they lose
their mind and and all that.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
But but it was great. Man.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
At my position, I'm not evolving my position. I still
don't think it was about the hockey. It was about
America versus Canada. It was about pride of country. That's
what it was about. That's why people became engaged in it.
And that's great. But you're not gonna be able to
recreate that in the regular season when it's a Pittsburgh
Penguins game against the New York Islanders. You're not going
(26:53):
to have that same magic. That's not going to be
part of the deal. So it's fine. It was great
when maybe a few people will say I kind of
like hockey and I'll get into it now, I would not.
I would not hold my breath on that. All right, Dan,
any you want to promote here, It's Saturday where both
of us are kind of chilling out other than this podcast, right,
(27:15):
kind of hanging out chill day.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Yeah, man, it's going to be a day of the rest.
And my better half has been on a kick the
past week or so. The closet. The upstairs closet is
next because she has donation bags downstairs. She gut it
out underneath the kitchen sink two days ago. So she's
in spring cleaning mode before we even get to spring.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Point out Danny that it's not it's it's February.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
It's not. We're not quite in spring yet. She's getting
a head start.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Well, maybe she figures because it's spring training, that's spring cleaning,
spring training.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Spring, I think. So, you know how pictures and catchers
report her OCD reports this time of the year.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
There you go, there, you go. All right, we'll get
out on that. We have the mail bag on Sunday. Sunday, Sunday.
Have a wonderful, glorious Saturday. Whatever you're up to today,
and be safe. We'll chat with you tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Pasta pasta my filation
Cutbooms.
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 sole fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 3 (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 (00:28):
In the air everywhere.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
The Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler. That would be me
and Danny G Radio and a happy, happy, happy, happy
Saturday to youth. See twenty second day of February. It's
National Margarita Day today, so celebrate appropriately. I'm sure there'll
be National Margarita Day in July and then there'll be
one in November. But there it is, and it's cook
(00:54):
a Sweet Potato Day today as well.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Big day, big holiday for sure.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
On this podcast though, Danny is with me, Danny G Radio,
and we will have a bye bye mayor quote me,
the Komodo dragon in the room, and a couple other things.
We'll see if we have time to get to those things.
I did see the Yankees yesterday. Nanny decided to change
their their facial hair policy, which is I think been
in place my entire life.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I think, I don't know. Maybe when I was.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
A little kid, they had facial hair, but since George
Steinrenner owned the team, he put that in there. And
now the New York Yankees will have players wearing well
groomed beards moving forward.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Stars attract other stars, so exciting. So I can't tell
you how excited I am about that.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
And yeah, clearly that's what they were missing. If they
only had beards, they might have made some defensive plays
against the Dodgers. And the fifth inning of Game five
there of the World Series. And I was watching some
NBA last night and a tremendous effort by the Knickerbockers
to lose a game by thirty seven points to supposedly
(02:07):
a big matchup with Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
My god, that was that was not so?
Speaker 4 (02:12):
But we begin the Saturday Pod with some sad, melancholy
news that we were unaware of.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
We were unaware of.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
This news until Milkman Mike passed the story on to
us on Friday. The I call this the spirit animal
of the Mala militia has checked out. We didn't know
about this, had actually happened back in late December, but
Parker the snow Dog unfortunately not with the world anymore.
The Bernice Mountain dog that had really been the go
(02:45):
to Bronco b roll dog and we met Parker the
snow Dog years ago, came in studio and one of
the one of the coolest, nice part of the snow dog,
just very chill, mellow and wonderful. My condolences to Dustin
who is the one that was behind the magic of
(03:06):
Parker the snow Dog. And anytime you watch the Bronco
game on TV for the last I don't even know
how many years, they'd inevitably do a shot coming back
from break where they'd put the the graphics, the chiron
up with the sponsors and then the shot would be
Parker the snow Dog with the rocky mountains in the
background covered in snow. And unfortunately, we learned yesterday that
(03:32):
this dog is beautiful, just cool, chill, like an every
dog I'm in around. You try to put clothes on
the dog or try to direct the dog, and a
lot of the times the dogs.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Will do what they want to do because you know
they dogs.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
This dog, Parker the snow Dog, it's this breed of dog,
the Bernice Mountain dog, and it would just sit there
with sunglasses on and a jersey and a fugazy hat
and just be as happy as could be. And in,
I guess died in a car accident. Actually Corners, Yeah,
(04:07):
that was on the TV station there in Denver about
ice fishing at the end of December there and unfortunately
did not make an accident out on a highway forty
and so our thoughts there.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
But it was it was cool, it was great. Parker
was a character on the show.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Thanks to to Dustin, Parker had become a big part
of the show. He was eight and a half years
old the time he died. Now, those dogs don't actually live,
they don't have long lifespans, but Parker would have certainly
lived longer than that. Obviously with dying in the as
a result of the car accident and this dog, Danny,
I don't know if you were there when he came
in or not. I think you had left by then.
(04:46):
But Parker came in studio and hung out with us.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
But he had become over the years.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
He was named the a mascot of the famous Loveland
ski area in Colorado that was twenty seventeen, he was
sworn in as the honorary mayor of Georgetown, Colorado. It's
a little mountain town and it's about ten miles or
so away from from that ski area that was in
(05:13):
twenty twenty during the COVID year.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
And from what I understand, I.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Was reading the story, and I know Dustin had done
a lot in the community in Denver in that area,
and I know it popped up on the local TV
news quite a bit. The morning shows loved Parker the
snow dog in. Dustin sent some clips out every so
often and whatnot. And he was also a therapy dog,
so you know, the dog touched a lot of people's lives, so.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
That sucks. I do remember when he was in the
studio with you. That was some really good photos that
you had with the dogs. One of the only things
I ever liked about the Broncos.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
That's right, you are, mister raider. Parker was.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Parker was equal opportunity all Colorado sports. I don't think
he ever w or a rock East Jersey because why
would you. But they like the Nuggets and the and
the Broncos and probably the Avalanche as well.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
And I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
I mean, it's it's like such a unique thing to
have a dog that becomes that popular, and who knows,
maybe Dustin will be able to, you know, create another
you know, not Parker the snow Dog, but whoever comes next.
But they this story. There was some stuff in the
story I had no idea about. They said that Parker's
annual birthday celebration, Parker Palooza, raised money for for a
(06:32):
camp for children and adults with different disabilities that we're
living with them. So that was maybe we stole mallor
Palooza from Parker Palooza.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Or vice versa.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
I don't know, but either way, rest in peace, park
of the snow Dog. And that was I was happy
I got to meet you and Dustin Mike Condolence's pal.
I was trying to I was trying to send him
a message and I I.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Was singing Danny and I I want to say hello
to Dustin.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
And I don't think I have an email. I might
have an email, I didn't find it.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
If I do.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
And then there's a there's an X account for park
of the snow Dog, but I don't know if he's
using it. I mean, so anyway, hopefully he'll be able
to hear this at some point, So my thoughts go
out to Dustin, and Dustin you can quote me, you
can absolutely, And Dan.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I don't know if you can quote me Danny, but
he can quote me. I don't know about you.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
I'm coming off a long week here because the Corrino
and Richard we filled, and then first for the Dan
Patrick showing. The hours of that show match more like
your schedule because I was waking up at four in
the morning. Then to end the week, we did the
Colin Cowherd showing, which the hours were better because on
(07:46):
the West Coast it starts at nine am, but that
means you sit in traffic between seven and eight am
in LA, and that is gridlock. It was quite the week,
but on air it was awesome because I debuted a
new game. You know, it's one thing you and I
have in common. We both do wacky morning show style
(08:06):
games on our shows. The new one you'd like, Ben,
because it highlights big mouths in the sports world. Okay,
all right, and I'm calling it quote me, so I'm
gonna give you a sample, and I'm guessing you're gonna
be good at this game because you read a lot
of quotes from the sports world on your overnight show. Yeah,
(08:28):
and play a lot of audio, you know, sound bites
from mostly athletes. But in this case, in this game,
I'm highlighting not just athletes but talking heads. Okay, all right,
so I'll give you a sample question here. In Lebron's case,
the guest pettiness and insecurity aren't limited to just people
who aren't super successful in the field. Quote me, is
(08:52):
that a Jonas Knox, b Kendrick Perkins or CD Doug
Gottlieb dumb?
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Well, well, I don't think it was Jonas. I'm gonna
go that sounds like Gottlieb to me.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Is that Gottlieb reacting to Lebron tweeting at him?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
It was.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
It was amusing to see Lebron. Who these these guys,
Danny that are like a you know, they don't pay attention.
There's such big stars to people like us that do
sports rade and got leaves on during the day a
couple hours a day, and Lebron, you know, he was
fully aware of everything, got all of us. What what
(09:38):
we say about Bronni James and him? Lebron is obsessed
with Lebron. The only thing Lebron loves more than Lebron
is Lebron. So he's aware of all of that, and
that's all he just that was a dead giveaway I like.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
To give him. If he was a Clipper, you would
love him and be sucking toes. I would never do that. Sure,
all right, here's so here's the next question for you.
Let's see how good you can do here.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
We're playing quote me.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Okay, our live coveragere in the fifth hour, Live on
tape the fifth Hour, Ben Mallard.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Danny g Radio. Okay, you're either gonna draft me or
you're not. If you don't draft me, that's your fault.
You've got to remember you're the same team that's got
to play me for the rest of my career. And
I'll remember that a cam Ward b Shador Sanders or
C Dylan Gabriel I am.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
I'm gonna go one hundred percent, No lifeline needed on
this one. That is the words that will likely come
back to haunt cam.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Ward ding Ding ding Ding.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yeah, I'm gonna go out and live and say that
cam Ward will probably not be that good and that
will come back to bite him in the tukas when
people point out boy. I wish we could play cam
Ward every game the way cam Ward's playing.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Sign me up for some of that.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
So far, you're two for two. Here's the third one
for you. Third and final will quote me question for
Ben Mallor. Here we go, Gean Carlos Stanton having an
injured elbow, check that both elbows? Is Shashank redemption? Like?
Remember when red yawned and stretched? Is that a Rob Parker, me,
(11:17):
Jason Smith or c Ben Maller.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Let me see, let's go back to a Malor Mallard monologue.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I don't know I quoted shosh ink redemption this week?
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Did and by the way, the contestant on the air
got your name correct, and that one himself a swiggy.
Oh oh, Bobby is trying to sweep here, Bobby?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Are you serious?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
We had two sweeps two days in a row.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
What happens? Will you stick me on da? I know?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Ben Maller said that for fun, let's go to round three.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
A right grasped the bomby.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah, Bobby, you already get a swiggy.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Oh nice? Oh that's I actually took. I let Covino.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Well, I'll tell the story later. But I did use
the Covino and rich swag. I took it with me
on a little road trip, so I did, and it's solid.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah, so that's a fun game. That's and you play
it every year.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
No, it worked out nice, and I played it. I
put it together for Friday, started the week with it
on the Dan Patrick Show as kind of a walkthrough,
and I ended the week on Friday playing the game.
But I put a nice added touch to it. After
the contestant got the correct answer, then I played what
the real audio cut sounded like.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Oh, yeah, that's great. Yeah, that's a fun game.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
I I still have not debuted the game that I
was planning on debuting.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Hopefully this week will debut the.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Game Oh smarter than your Tech Queen.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Well something along those lines. Yeah, that's the plan, but
we have not done it. We actually have some imaging done,
we just haven't actually put the game on. Trying to
figure out when to slide the game in. And I
want to have like.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Hall of Famers.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
I want to have who's are you smarter than the
FSR Tech Queen? But have like Blair and Maine, Marcel
and hollering James. Yeah, we're trying to figure out the
logistics of how many people we want to play against Lorraine.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Is it one versus one?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Is it two versus one? Oh? I got you. Okay,
I see.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
There's some technical stuff that has to be worked out
on that. But as far as the the Komodo dragon
in the room, and this is involves the Coveno enrich
item that I have here, the what do you call
that thing?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
What's the name of We call it because the name
of the brand is Swiggy, so we call it a
C n R Swiggy.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Swiggy Okay, yeah, yeah, So I took that with me
to the iconic, world famous San Diego Zoo. Yes, we'll
visit to the same right, my old stomping grounds in
San Diego. And I absolutely love that area. There's it's
so busy though on the weekends. And I did do
what you did last time you went to San Diego.
(14:10):
We went down way too early, so I was like
half awake, half asleep early on a Saturday morning and
traveled down to the San Diego Zoo and with my
sister in law, brother in law and niece nephew, and
we were cruising around the zoo and the first thing
we saw when we got into the San Diego Zoo.
(14:33):
We walked over there was a rhino that was the
talk of the zoo, and the rhino.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Was just eating whatever.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
And we determined very quickly that the rhino was a
male rhino, and that the rhino was how should we
say this, standing at attention there and looked. I thought
rhinos on the we had four legs. It appeared the
rhino had five legs. Of course, this was kind of
awkward because I have my niece and nephew and they
(15:05):
of course immediately, you know, little kids when they see that,
it's an eye opening what's eye opening for adults too?
But yeah, the rhino putting on a show for all
the kids at the front of the San diegozo and
it was all the parents are laughing, the kids are
like pointing.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
It's quite the scene there, right out.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Of a movie, like an old kind of rhino's nickname
is Kickstand.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Yeah, my god, how do they run? They run very fast.
I don't know how they're able to run like.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
That, but there they are.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
And we saw that we saw elephants, drafts, hippos, a
bunch of random animals in between. And I'd not been
to the San Diego Zoo in a long time.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
It is beautiful.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
It's very pricey, but I did get a photo with
the Komodo dragon in the room.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I was right there. They have a little Komodo dragon.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Thing there and I wandered in and it was very cool.
Use the Komodo dragon in many a malar monologue over
the years, I have referenced the iconic Kimodo dragon, and
there I was side by side.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I thought. The coolest thing though, other than the Komodo
dragon were.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
The the hippos, which it was so cool because the
way they did it at the zoo is beautiful. They
have this viewing area where you can see under the
water and over the water, and so the hippos can
hold their breath for like five six, seven minutes or
something like that, so it's awesome. They're massive and you
see them jump in the water and they're uh, you know,
(16:36):
it's just cool. It's just an awesome, breathtaking thing to
see that. And that was pretty neat the Polar bears
was cool. Similar setup they had for the polar bears there,
but it is it's a wonderful zoo they did. You know,
every time I go I haven't been in a long time,
probably been. I mean, god, I can't imagine how long
it's been, but long time.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
But it was awesome. Did you take that steep pike
up pill I've talked about.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Out yes, and I went yes.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
I did not realize that that was what we were doing,
but we we did end up going up up the hill.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
I did not go on the people mover thing though
that they have there.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I did not.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
I did not feel that was safe, probably very safe,
but I chose not to to do that.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
And we didn't eat anything. We brought food.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Amazing gift shop though they they really go for it
there at the San Diego Zoo gift shop. Not as
expensive as Disneyland or anything like that, but that's you know,
you're helping feed the animals or.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Helping the people that work at the zoo.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
I guess one way, one way or another, but it
was it was a good time. And just drove down
for the day and drove back and it was it
was smooth and and the cool thing about it was
we timed it perfectly that we went so early in
the morning on Saturday from you know, from the La area.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
We got there and on the way back.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
It was bumper to bumper on the other side, but
we weren't in it smooth sailing, so at that time
it's not you know, and I live a little south
of LA so it's not that that far that far drive,
so it was pretty pretty good good times for sure.
So I enjoyed the same again, yes, not more than that.
(18:15):
Just wow, that's very impressive. You will not forget that time.
Now for the phrase of the week, the phrase the week.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
That's right, the phrase of the week.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
The phrase of the week this week is a request
from John in Dallas, Texas. He says, many times I
can sort of figure out what a certain phrase might
point back to, but I don't have any idea on
this one. In a nutshell. I've heard you use it,
and I am interested in the origin the background, says
John in Dallas. Well, John, you've come to the right place.
(18:50):
I do use that phrase every so often. I don't
know how often, maybe once a week, once a month,
who knows, it's in my lexicon in a nutshell And
for those that don't know, maybe in the back of
the room they do not know. It's basically just to
tighten things up, be concise, get to the point, please
right reduce everything in just the simplest, most simplistic form.
(19:13):
In a nutshell, you cut through all the bull crap
and you get down to in a nut show and
that's it. And so it's my way of saying, I'm
not giving you the entire story. I'm just giving you
the most important facts, which is pretty much all we
do in radio. You just have to worry about the surface.
You don't have to go below the surface. You're on
the surface and.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
That's where you go.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
So the origin on this, the first time that phrase
was used quite literal, was around the first century So
in a nutshell goes all the way back to the
first century AD, and it was in a text titled
Plenty's Natural History.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Okay, Plenty tells the tale.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Of how his friend told him that he saw a
copy of Homer's famous poem and it was being made
in a miniature form so that the whole poem, written
on parchment, could be fit into the shell of a walnut.
And therefore the phrase in a nutshell came to be used.
(20:18):
And that's from around the first century AD and means
to this day it's not used by that many people,
but I use it, and you're referring to reducing something
massive into the simple and brief and understandable form in
a nutshell.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
So thank you.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
John in Dallas, and our thoughts are with the Maverick
fans who are still in mourning. Although the way Lucas looked,
I don't know how much morning should be at least
right now, you have to wait until he actually turns
out to play. Well, you haven't played that well yet.
We'll see what happens with that for sure.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
One hundred.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Well, he's still heard. At least he's trying to play
through the injury. Anthony Davis is I don't know, somewhere
chilling on a couch.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
I didn't see him play on Thursday though, I don't
know if he was trying to play that night.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Uh, Luca, I'm just.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Saying, uh, now, I I did graduate yet again. I
want to pat myself on the back here. I hope
I don't hurt my back. I heart you, Danny and
I got the yearly email from the boss.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
We have to every year. We have to take FCC.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Training online and it's it's very easy. It's one but
it's like going to the DMV. You know, if you
if you get a traffic ticket, you go to the
DMV and you have to do online school.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
It's it's similar to that, and most this.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
One's about the dump button and the eas tests and
words and material that we can't stay on the radio, like.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Fu shitty functions.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Uh yeah, yeah, when it's something leaving the body.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
But but I I did see in the video and
I was watching him saying, well, it said save harbor
hours from ten.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
I thought of you during that safe harbor little lecture.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
So I'm like, why am I doing this? I'm on
in the safe harbor. I can say fuck because I'm
on in the safe harbor.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
I'm allowed to.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
No, you can't say that just because you're in the
safe harbor.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Oh, I can't.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
No, But you can say rhinos weenie.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
All right, so I can't say rhino' REENI but I
as it said safe harbor. You know that the rules
are are down and yeah, no, the company wouldn't want
me to do I don't think the FCC would care,
but the company probably would not want me to to
do that.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Yeah. And I and the issue with what we're doing
is a network is on nationwide, so do you have
the possibility of offending somebody in the Bible Belt.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Well possibility.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Yeah, that's the issue that we deal with that local
radio guys don't have to deal with. If we f up,
we like my show is like six hundred stations at
night or whatever, it's conceivable that every station would be fine.
Six hundred stations would be fine. And what's the minimum?
Would they say? Like, is it thirty thousand dollars?
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Thirty five thousand dollars? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, so let's uh, let's do some Malor math here.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Let me get my calculator.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Let me get my calculator out here, hold on a
sec here, and and and and all.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Right, so thirty five thousand times, we'll just do six hundred.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Uh yeah, that would.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Be if my math is correct. Is that twenty one
million dollars at Wow? That's you imagine I going one
night from the bar and say the thing I can't
say at the time. I can't say it with twenty
one million dollars in fines.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
You have to sell the Malor mansion to come up
with that kind of money.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Oh, sell them Malar mansion. I'd be pushing shopping carts.
But now I wouldn't be working at the store. I
would have all my my possessions in the shopping cart.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Wow, that's that is craziness. Man. I didn't realize the
numbers the math on that that is that is next
level is is what that is? Geez Luise oh Man?
Speaker 3 (24:10):
All right?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Anyway, Uh, it is the fifth hour.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
By the way, you want to send a message in
for the mail bag, which is tomorrow. It may be
used tomorrow, I mean may be used tomorrow, maybe not,
but you can send him a message in real fifth
hour at gmail dot com. That's real fifth hour at
gmail dot com. And I just mentioned if you want,
(24:35):
if you want, if you want credit, mention your name
and mention where you're what city you're from. A lot
of you idiots email me and you don't mention that,
So that's a bad job by you.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
I usually don't even use those questions. I follow up.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
I didn't want to do a follow up to yesterday.
We did a Canadian heavy malor fifth hour here yesterday
as we reacted to a hostile takeover by our can
brothers and sisters and our one because of the USA
versus Canada and that four nations thing and whatnot. I
did see the TV ratings nine point three million, which
(25:12):
for hockey is orgasmic. Right, nine point three million people
watching a hockey game. That's set a record for any
hockey game, any non NFL event on the ESPN plus,
I guess it is.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
That is a lot of bandwagon motherfuckers.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Well my point I was getting.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
I mentioned the hockey cult yesterday, which I don't know
if Colvino and Rich deal with this, but I get
the hockey cult where people yell at me for not
talking hockey, and then when I talk hockey they yell
at me for talking hockey because I'm not knowledgeable about hockey.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
So it's oh yeah, this is the same same people,
same sort of people that are soccer fans, same thing.
Oh yeah, you're right, World Cup. Yeah, if you talk
about it, or if you don't talk about it, how
you're not covering it. As soon as you talk about it.
You don't know about this sport.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Exactly. That's that's what we deal with you, which is fine. Whatever.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
People complain about everything, and they give them something to
complain about, and and that's that's fine. And then I'll
do my rant where I say, well it's I do broadcasting,
not narrow casting. Hockey's narrow and then they that really
just adds ask to the fire and then they lose
their mind and and all that.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
But but it was great. Man.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
At my position, I'm not evolving my position. I still
don't think it was about the hockey. It was about
America versus Canada. It was about pride of country. That's
what it was about. That's why people became engaged in it.
And that's great. But you're not gonna be able to
recreate that in the regular season when it's a Pittsburgh
Penguins game against the New York Islanders. You're not going
(26:53):
to have that same magic. That's not going to be
part of the deal. So it's fine. It was great
when maybe a few people will say I kind of
like hockey and I'll get into it now, I would not.
I would not hold my breath on that. All right, Dan,
any you want to promote here, It's Saturday where both
of us are kind of chilling out other than this podcast, right,
(27:15):
kind of hanging out chill day.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Yeah, man, it's going to be a day of the rest.
And my better half has been on a kick the
past week or so. The closet. The upstairs closet is
next because she has donation bags downstairs. She gut it
out underneath the kitchen sink two days ago. So she's
in spring cleaning mode before we even get to spring.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Point out Danny that it's not it's it's February.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
It's not. We're not quite in spring yet. She's getting
a head start.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Well, maybe she figures because it's spring training, that's spring cleaning,
spring training.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Spring, I think. So, you know how pictures and catchers
report her OCD reports this time of the year.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
There you go, there, you go. All right, we'll get
out on that. We have the mail bag on Sunday. Sunday, Sunday.
Have a wonderful, glorious Saturday. Whatever you're up to today,
and be safe. We'll chat with you tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
