Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, 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, the Clearinghouse of hot takes
break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben
(00:24):
Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, and a
very good Sunday to you if you're listening the day
this podcast drops. It is the Fifth Hour with Ben
Maller and Danny g Radio, and it's all about the
(00:45):
mail bag, which we're gonna get to in a moment.
Danny g As, we have had a big weekend here. Friday,
David Vasse, the man that went viral, went down a
slide in Milwaukee and gave us the inside skinny. I'd
never heard the details that he had actually gone down
the slide twice. He actually succeeded the first time, didn't
(01:08):
get hurt, and it was the second time, all for television.
He ends up breaking six ribs in his wrist. And
but he's a he's a legend now, he's a viral star.
Not many people can say they've had a viral moment
where the New York Post TMZ, all the tabloids they
were writing about him. He's a big deal now. They
(01:29):
made the T shirt go get it out of the Ocean,
and they made the vasse a T shirt with him
holding up his cast. Uh, that's that's rare ground. And
I then I gotta say this really quick. That was
some of the best investigative reporting you've done on the podcast.
That's my audition tape to go to sixty minutes or
whatever whatever the new investigative show is. I don't know that.
(01:50):
When I was a kid, it was sixty minutes. But
but yeah, no, I was really into it. We did
frame by frame coverage what happened. Everybody on sixty minutes died. Yeah,
they're all that. But the waiver he had to sign
the waiver. Uh. He talked about Mookie Bets giving him
a hug. That was kind of cool, the Dodger guys
checking on him, and that was met the human side
(02:10):
of some of these multimillionaire ball players and it was great.
So if you didn't hear that, go back and download
that on the Friday podcast. Let me tell you Dannagy.
The The deal on this is that Vasse has set
like download records. I mentioned this on the podcast. I'm
not exaggerated like Dodger Talk. The show that he does,
(02:31):
it gets insane downloads every month. So maybe we'll benefit
from that, like in an indirect way having Vessey on,
we'll get some of those download numbers from that. Lots
of dog groupies, yeah, for sure, for sure. So before
we get to the mailback though, I wanted to go
back to the Saturday podcast. Jay Scoop posted a nice
message on the backscratchers segment, and you can do that
(02:55):
as well on the Apple podcast page. Just write a
review and helps us out. So he announced this week
he has been a relationship for a long time. In fact,
I met his his girlfriend when I was in Seattle.
We had a meal together. Very nice woman. But they've
gone their separate ways. There were some issues. They disagreed
(03:15):
on some very important things, and so they decided to
depart ways. And so Jay Scoop is back on the market,
and he hasn't been on the market for a long time.
And he said, I need some advice. He can I
have Danny g give me some. Now he's going to
be at this event, or he was at the event
I should say, on Friday, so he probably already came
(03:36):
up to you. So this is like after the fact advice,
But this is for the other people out there, any
last second tinderon e tips that Danny G can give
to a guy like Jay Scoop who was in a
relationship for a long time and now he's back out
trying to catch a nice young lady. Yeah, I would say,
(03:56):
you don't want to get too serious too fast with
anyone been. Don't jump into some rebound because your mind
is not even clear yet, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's the rebound, you know, the old the bouncy bouncy
bouncy bounds have a huge basket by just enjoy yourself,
have fun, do things, go out and meet new friends.
(04:19):
Things will fall into place. Everything is better after you've
had some time and look yourself in the mirror and
do your ship even better. And then you're really ready
after that to meet somebody that's going to be the
right person long term. Yeah, Jay Scoop is in good
shape here. He's a He's a talented guy, very easy musician.
You know, Danny Women I'm in a time of stereotype.
(04:40):
I believe I will speak for women. They enjoy a musician.
They like the man that can perform music for them.
That's a that's a nice thing. You're not wrong. If
you whip out a guitar, you have that girl's attention.
Better be able to play it, might be able to
something else out, you know what I'm saying. All right, anyway,
all right, thank you. Lame jokes are on Friday. We
you've got the mail bag, and that means our guy, Ohio.
(05:03):
All it's all right, good job, Ohio. All So, let's
get right to it. These are actual questions by actual
listeners to the show, and uh let's start out with
(05:27):
this one. By the way, before we get into it,
you can email your question right now. You don't have
to wait for me to post something on Facebook, which
I do every Monday or Tuesday. Ben mallor show is
our Facebook page. You can send it right now. You
can send it today, tomorrow, the next day. You can
send it in the middle of the night, early in
the morning Middays, doesn't matter if I'm sleeping or if
I'm awake. Real fifth hour at gmail dot com. Spell
(05:49):
it out Real Fifth Hour at gmail dot com, and
we may read your question on the podcast Nick in
Wisconsin nights In. As we go right to the mail bag,
I got mail, Yeah, I got mail. Yeah, he says,
Benn and Danny, gy, if you could go back and
play a sport that you didn't get to play growing up,
(06:13):
what would it be and why? I wish that we
would have had lacrosse up here. Thanks. That's from from
Nick Well. I I did get to play a little
bit of the sports I loved. There's nothing I didn't
get to play that I wish I had played. I
wish well, I used that I love baseball. I didn't
(06:33):
play in high school and because I wasn't that great
at it, but I would have loved to have done
it in high school. Would have been fun. But I
played football. I played a little basketball for one year
in high school, So I dabbled in that. Um trying
to think like maybe something in the water, if I
knew how to surf or something like that, that would
be kind of cool. What about you, Danny, anything that
(06:54):
you wish you could do that you didn't do. Yeah,
this one's easy, except this sport wasn't around when we
were in school pickle ball, pickle ball, pickle ball. But
Google just google it. You kids just google it. Uh.
Though the kids know what it is, some adults don't know,
(07:15):
but some do. Ben because there's actually an adult pickle
ball league in this area. You play with a tennis net.
It's a cross between bad mitton and tennis. Okay, I'm
looking at a special whiffle ball is used and it's
almost like paddles for the rackets. Oh man, that looks
(07:36):
too much like tennis. Though that might be a pain
in the ass. I don't know. Fun, it's a lot
of fun. And when you play with the kids, they
think they're gonna smoke you right away, just because you're older.
I not only held my own I was spiking that
ball down on the kids because we grew up, you know,
trying to learn how to play tennis. So we got
some of those skills in the back hand and all
(07:58):
that does take a lot of in dotty you though,
according to the Internet, pickleball was invented in nineteen sixty five,
so it's really not that old. A children's backyard game
in Bainbridge Island, Washington. Yeah, and and did you know, Danny,
you probably did because you're a pickleball guy. In two
this year, pickle ball was adopted as the official state
(08:20):
sport of Washington. Did not know that. I know that
there's leagues and teams popping up across the country. Yeah,
there's an American Pickleball Association. That's crazy. You know who
would love this, Our friend Pierre and and Alf the
adianal Piner would love love pickle ball because they're all
(08:41):
about the pickle They're all in bed. At my middle school,
they do a pickleball tournament. Kids are up there for days.
They signed their teams up and there was a prize
at the end of it. Their pickle ball crazy. They
love the pickle ball. I what about cornhole? I think
cornhole's an under a rated thing. It's not really a sport,
(09:01):
but it's a fun thing. Yeah, that's right. Mike from
East of the four oh five rights, and he says,
after you had another shameless cheating scandal on the weekday show,
this might be Mike from Fullerton Possible. He says, after
another cheating scan on the weekday Show that Danny g
witnessed firsthand. I have a question about cheaters. Have either
of you caught someone cheating outside the show before, like
(09:25):
in a board game, poker, or a sport. I'll go first, yes, Mike.
In fact, I was there in attendance in the seventeen
World Series when the Houston Strows were cheating against the
Dodgers in the World Series. That is scumbags. Uh. And
they were doing it on the road, they were doing
(09:46):
it at home. Baseball covered up, they downplayed the damage.
They ran interference for him. But they were cheating everywhere. Uh,
the Strows, that's the big one. But as far as
like board game stuff, yeah, back back in the day,
you'd see like Monopoly trying to people trying to sneak
a little extra house here and there. Uh, what about you, Danny.
(10:07):
As a kid, we lived in the Bay Area after
we left l A the season Jose Conseco went for yeah, yeah,
tickets to the A's games that season. So I witnessed cheating, right,
that's true. That's true. Did you want witness anyone in
the upper deck of the Colosseum getting a tongue bath?
(10:28):
Did you witness any of that? I was at the
age where I would have been confused and I would
have been asking questions, what what's that? What are they
doing up there? That is there milking the cow? Is
that what's going on there? That does not look like
a cow? I don't Yeah. And if you don't know
what Ben's talking about, go to the internet and you'll
(10:48):
see the uh the viral, the virus video. What happened
up top at an Oakland A's game. Let's just say
it gives new meaning to the A suck this. Yes,
there was a lot of sucking and the the A
is really blow They really do there. She blows. That's
(11:09):
a term when you see a whale. That's a fishing term.
Right there, she blows that. You say, they're moving on
on the mail bag. Let's see yo yo ma Benny Uh.
The email begins from our friend in uh in Tennessee says,
has Real Talk ever tried to call after his suspension
from the show? If he did call when you put
(11:31):
him on the air, so a Real Talk to my knowledge,
has not tried to call the show. Uh. He called
me at a time I had just come back, my
father had passed away. He made made a few insensitive
comments and we we gave him what originally was a
six month band from the show and just has turned
(11:52):
into over two years off the year. But yeah, if
he called up and was somewhat apologetic, I would I
would put him on here. I I don't have an issue.
He would always do the same, stick with real talks,
standard call for those who don't know real talk. He
was one of my regular callers from New York. This
may be my last call I'll ever make. And he
(12:15):
got married. I think what happened is he just got
married and he just stopped because a lot of guys
when they get married, they can't keep listening to the
show and participating. I don't think he was working overnights anymore.
I think that's what all right. But but anyway, he
would call up, he'd do a kind of a normal call.
He'd ask questions, and he'd like, hey, Eddie, what do
you think about barbecued ribs? And then he'd be okay, well, good, good,
(12:38):
good good, And he'd asked Cooper question in Roberto, and
then at some point he would ask the most obscene,
offensive question he could possibly ask, and then we'd have
to hang him up, hang up on him. And you
were with me, of course, Dan that so I was
there when he was a reigning caller of the year. Yeah,
highly decorated. In fact, the Golden Ticket began with he
(12:59):
was like, the US gotta get it, and we gave
him one and he called right back the next segment,
get back on the air. That was awesome, may he
he and I kind of put that idea together. Yeah,
And we rewarded him with the very first one, back up,
back up, get jack up, catch up? All right? Alan
(13:20):
and Akarin Ohio rights and he says, Danny g why
do you use different sign offs like later skater and
hosta pasta? Most broadcasters used the same one every time.
We like to mix it up. Man, You don't just
do one podcast. You blow the competition out of the
water by doing three podcasts. Yes, exactly, exactly. So I
gotta keep people on their toes, and we're we have
(13:42):
routines and we kind of do same segments and some
of our famous sayings, but you can't just predict which
one is coming because we have a few of them.
I love the fact that this has been in Alan's
head long enough where he's like, I gotta get an answer.
I got us in the message in because I it's
killing me. Why I hear hasta pasta or asta pasta
(14:05):
or whatever, and later skip. And also after I do that,
I rotate either by Felicia or of course the famous one.
Roberto still uses gotta murder, gotta go oh, yes, our
buddy in Florida. Yeah, And sometimes to really keep you
on your toes, I throw helmet man in there where
he says one more thing, man, what do you think
(14:27):
about the orioles? Well, there are so many of those.
I had a guy, the Duke guy, that wanted to
propose to his lady on the show, and he did.
And then he had done the proposal and he says,
can I still talk about duke or something like that.
It was so so ridiculous, so so stupid here. But
(14:49):
you know, we're just trying to get along, you know.
Don't be rude. We don't want to be rude. We
don't want to be rude at all. Now, this is
a question from the past, so we're gonna go on
the way back machine. This next one's from Johnny, and
he wanted to know, are you all gonna live stream
the meet up? We've already had the meet up. I
had no plans to live stream the meet up, Danny,
(15:09):
So this is us in the future. Right now and so,
but we don't exactly know what happened in the past. Yeah,
we don't know. Eddie has been known to randomly turn
on a camera and take some really awkward photos. Terry
from England Rights and he says, did you have any
inspirational teachers at school? Of course, Terry list, I would
(15:34):
not be where I am without teachers pushing me along
in certain directions. I had Mr Zeke uh Carl, I
actually I called him Mr Carl, but he was a
great guy. And uh I had a problem of actually
getting up early to go to school, so I I
hated getting up in the morning. I was not a
morning I'm still not a morning person, but uh he
(15:56):
was a really good influence on me. I had a
speech teacher in high school also kind of like really
not more debate than speech and Mr Laura I believe
was his name, and he if I remember correctly, but
but he was really cool, like he just like was
neat and it was one of those classes where you
don't feel like you're in school, and it's really hard
when you're a kid. Because I was a bad not
(16:18):
a bad stuit. I just didn't like getting up early
for school and like when you were in a class
where it didn't feel like you were in school, like
those were the greatest class, Like you were doing stuff,
but it didn't feel like it. And it's very hard.
There's an art to it. I know, Danny, you're a
teacher and you do that stuff. So if you can
get to that level where the kids don't really feel
like they're in school, you will be their favorite teacher
and you will you will be someone they talk about
(16:41):
when they're middle aged people. You will, Yeah, for sure.
It's kind of like I I have a group of
kids in one of the morning classes where when they
finish their bookwork or now their chromebook work, I let
them play the we oh yeah, they're playing Super Mario
Brothers and it the you know, it's the Week Controllers.
(17:02):
So it's really fun to play Mario Brothers. Like that.
They think I'm the coolest person alive. Of course, that'll
change once they get, you know, in trouble for something.
But no, you're right. I mean we think back to
teachers that made it kind of this awesome little world
that we stepped inside, got out of the bullshit away
from home, and we were able to step into something
(17:24):
that was more entertaining. I had a teacher like that,
Mrs Johnson. Her class was amazing. She was an amazing
teacher to this day. I think about the books she
read to us, some of the things she did with
the class. And she even did little cool field trips
to where we got to have a party that she
threw in her backyard and she made the ice cream herself,
(17:47):
and I thought that was the coolest shit ever. Nextually,
I know, I just saw this white thing flying at
my face. Are you sure she did or she just
telling you that? No, No, she had that actual machine
that made the ice cream. And I thought, oh, I'm
coming from the inner city. At that point, I'm like,
they make their own ice cream over here. This I
want to live here. That's awesome. Teachers have quotas Danny
(18:10):
like police officers have. Police officers have to write a
certain number of tickets, even though they say they don't like.
If you're a teacher, are you allowed to pass every
one of your students? Can you do you have to
give some bad grades? Do they get upset if you
give everyone good grades? How does that work? That's a
good question. I think that sort of pressure goes to
the pe teachers because the parents all expect their kid
(18:34):
to pass PE. How are you gonna fail PE? How
are you gonna get fired on your day off? It's true, though,
if you don't do well in PE, I mean, it's
like the easiest thing that you pass, go collect two
hundred dollars, the parents will come complain. I've seen the
PE coaches in meetings in the main office because the
(18:57):
principal or the vice principle is trying to get that
mail bumped up, and I feel bad for the pet
E cher. I'm like, man, they're not allowed to fail anybody.
Oh yeah, it's brutal alright, next up on the mail bags.
See here, any meany money? Yes we do. Jennifer, our
friend in Richmond, Virginia unable. She was unable to attend
(19:19):
the Mallard meet and Greek, but she will come hang
out with us. At some point. She says, Hello, Benn
and Danny gy. Imagine you are on a frisbee golf
course with creeks, meadows, trees, and small leggs. If you
were gonna have an unusually bad throw, would you rather
have your frisbee land and sink into the murky mossy
(19:40):
knee deep mosquito infested creek, or right next to it
a huge, scary looking, long talent, sharp beaked alpha goose.
Who you must get that frisbee back since it's your
best one. Which do you prefer, man, I've had some
bad runnings with those geese. Man, those things are bastards.
(20:04):
I would go mosquito because I have been beaten by
so many mosquitoes. I feel like it wouldn't really impact
me at all. What say you, Danny G I say,
what kind of damn creative question? Was that? I wanted
her to share some of the stuff she's spoken was
Jennifer was on a She was actually out. She was
(20:24):
having a meeting with Joe Rogan and her friend Aaron Rodgers,
and they were having some ayahuasca. Came up with that.
Very unusual that she would send that out, but she was.
She was on the psychedelics. Good for you, Jennifer lived
your best life, young lady. Good job by you. I
think mushrooms taste gross smoke weed al right. Next one
(20:47):
from Angelina, she writes, and she says, has been a
while since I've written, but I still listen to the
podcast and show consistently. I haven't had something to write
up until now. I thought of the issue. I am
a word person says and kind of pay attention to
how people say, which is one of the reasons I
really like your show and the podcast. You were all great. Anyway,
(21:09):
I wanted to get your take on a few things
in a couple of the ads. Have you noticed in
the link Soul Clothing at it says that their garments
are breathable and it would take days to put holes
in your clothes if you did it yourself. M She writes,
Uh no, I think it could only take seconds to
(21:31):
put holes in my clothes if I wanted to. It's
such an odd line. Maybe I am missing something. This
is especially funny because on Tuesday, Chloe, the eleven year old,
came out of the bathroom with pants that she had
just destroyed with scissors on man, Yeah, because she could
(21:53):
not cut enough holes into these jeans. Yeah, well, how
did you handle? How did how did the Her mom
just rolled her eyes and she's like, look at Chloe's
new jeans. The most amazing part of that, as as
is obviously referencing they sell those things for an ungodly
amount of money, right, Yeah, they charge you extra, which
(22:18):
is like we did the scissor work, you lazy ex
gens or whatever the gen x is or whatever the
hell you're called. Yeah, so let me answer the question
this way, Angela, and I'll go back to my studying
of infomercials. I have read several books on infomercials. We
tried to get Mr Poppel on rom Popel but he
(22:38):
died before he could come on. Well he actually turned
this down a couple of times before he could come on.
But that guys, the o Gas passed away. Well he
was also a thousand years old. But but the key
to and informers, right, the key is this is going
to make your life easier, right that even if it's
not right, it's like the late Billy mays Hi bill
(23:00):
Amaze here and uh, the fastest easiest way to solve
your problem, guaranteed order. Right now, operators are standing by
that kind of thing. You know what the newest thing
is for those that you just impersonated on the screen,
It flashes not available on Amazon, not available on Amazon. Yeah. Yeah,
(23:21):
like listen, I will loser I when I go to
like Walmart or Target. I I gravitate my wife if
I walk away from her. It's to see the as
scene on TV section at Walmart or Target. But I've
studied so again the point of this, it's just basic marketing, Angeline.
But you probably already do this year a smart woman.
But it's just to sell a product. Most people think
you have to tell the consumer there's a problem and
(23:44):
this is going to make your life easier. And if
you notice that, pretty much every commercial that we do
is the same problem solution. Uh, we're gonna save you
more money than everyone else, right, or this product will
make your life much easier because of X, Y and Z,
And so you know that's how it works, and it's
(24:08):
just basic advertising. She also says, riddle me this. In
the five hour Energy at it says that you have
to take a picture of the receipt to upload it
to win. But don't you have to purchase? He says.
They say you don't have to purchase anything, But how
does that make sense? Exactly exactly, exactly exactly, And she
(24:32):
also points out we had a call. She says, ps,
I got the card that is advertised on your show.
I certainly knew the answer to that question you asked
a caller recently, but I guess not everyone does. Yeah,
that amazes me. I do on a given night around
twenty discover card commercials in four hours live reads. Yeah,
(24:53):
and we had a caller. I forget who it was,
but I said, this I all know is Marcel. I
think it was Marcel, And I said, brought to you
by and no, I no, no clue, you know, speaking
a different language. Well that's why they need one every
hour or two or five? Yeah, yeah, I think it's
(25:15):
five an hour. I think something like that. Pierre is
next up, not working from home like Ferg doog Boy.
There's a rivalry, Danny, there's a rivalry. And will we
lose Pierre or furg Dog because we did lose the
power couple, well not the power couple of the the
couple in uh in Palmetto Bay. Uh. They've not been
(25:35):
party to the show in some time here. And I
hope everything's okay there, but I don't know. I don't
know what happened. It's kind of vanished. Pierre. This is
not working from home like fur Dog. I'd like to
preface my question by admitting that I stole it from
another podcast. There you uh and Ben, before you go
(26:00):
all Benny the baker cookie snob on me original chips
ahoy or original oreo. Alright, so, first of all, Pierre,
this is not that hard. I became morbidly obese powered
by chips ahoy. Now I am not against the oriole.
(26:22):
I am not anti Oreo. I enjoy a good pack
of Oreos. I could take a sleeve of oreos and
eat that thing within ten minutes. But the chips ahoy,
and that and milk, Oh my god, you're living your
best life right there. So I was all about the
chips ahoy. Uh. The orioles I was okay with, but
(26:42):
I usually had I was the original double stack guy.
Now he sell those double a triple stack, but she
ended up breaking him apart. The stack with the extra frosting,
the filling in that, I says. I can already hear
you going off on the rails about your homemade snickerdoodles
or the Gara Deli chocolate chip ice sandwich. Yeah, now
that's the ice cream Sunday, the gett Danny g Danny
(27:04):
Gearadeli's ice cream Sunday. The cookie Sunday at Gara Delis
is the single greatest dessert I've ever had in my life.
And I've eaten desserts all over the United States, and
I've never had a better dessert in the Cookie Sunday
at Gara Delis I had. I was in Chicago back
in in May. I told the story on the podcast Danny.
They had a Gara Delis right next to the Chicago
(27:25):
River and I stopped there and I had my Cookie
Sunday and I was the happiest I could be. And
you remember I told you my aunt she put that
on the on the menu. Yeah, she left her mark.
And I gotta say, Ben, famous Amos, those little bags
we get out of do not see that as an
(27:46):
option though you're going off the board. I'm going off
the board those many famous amos that come in the
snack sized bags out of our vending machine at the studios.
Just that little bag can power me through one hour
of the Jason Smith Show when I fill in. Do
you remember when they came out with the soft version
of the I think it was the chips and hard.
(28:06):
It was like a soft but it was a chocolate chip.
I don't like those, they're too rich. Yeah, I might
have enjoyed a few packs of those when I first started.
Next up Balls fan Jimmy from Big Orange Country. Yes,
he writes, and he says, for both of you, which
situation had you rather be in? At the free throw line?
(28:29):
Have we been asked this question? I feel like we
might have been asked this question? He says, which one
would you had you rather be in? Would you rather
be in free throw line down by two with three
foul shots awarded, no time on the clock, or the
field goal kicker at the forty eight yard line with
one second ago, down by two and a picture or
(28:53):
a batter with a two and a three count down?
Let me read that again in English? Were they two
and three count down by one? All for the championship? Damn?
So the easiest one of those would be the basketball.
And because foul shooting, I've been told this from people
that play in the played professionally, that it's really muscle memory,
(29:16):
that foul shooting is just repetition and and all that.
But a field goal, there's a lot of elements. Is
it outdoors? Is their wind that kind of thing? I
kick a mean football, though, Ben, Oh, do you do you?
Especially if it's a hard nerf like those new nerves
they have not the old foam nerve the new nerve
(29:38):
that's harder. Yeah, I could boot one of those things.
Last year. I would take the seventh graders up to
the field and they'd be like, damn, did you used
to be a punter? It's one of my hidden skills.
Are you automatica? Is? That they're the one that would
be the most fun because you kickers, I know they
(29:59):
pick up kick is, but they they hit a home
run as a as a batter, right and you know too,
you know three and two to have that that Joe
Carter Edgar rent are a moment. And I was actually
at that Edgar Rentaria game in the you know way back.
God it's been twenty five years, Holy crap. But in
(30:21):
Miami Marlins and then Cleveland Indians. Yeah, I said it,
I said it. I said it, Danny j the Cleveland
Indians because that's who was in the World Series. Um, anyway,
that was that was wild and crazy and goofy watching
the reaction to Miami and the Marlins celebrating and being
able to go into the locker room and be part
(30:42):
of that a little bit from an outsider's perspective, And
I still remember Darren Dalton, of all people whose people
only remember as a Philly but he was on that
Marlin's team. They picked him up late in the year
as a late season edition, and he was cuddling with
the World Series trophy. He had one arm like wrapped
around it, and then the other he had a beer,
(31:03):
and then he had a cigar in his mouth, and
he was just living his best life. And I think
back to that because he didn't live a full life.
He he passed away at at a young age of
really only a short time relatively speaking, after that World Series.
But anyway, I don't know why that popped in my head,
but it just popped in my head. So I'd pick
hitting the walk off home run or a hit to
win a baseball game. That's what I would now that
(31:24):
media game. What year was that your famous hit? In
that media game, I would date myself. You know, there
are two famous hits, Danny g There was the hit
off the wall. Uh that that one was off of
who was pitching that? I don't even remember who was
pitching that day? Uh? But I hit it off the wall.
(31:46):
I then got there were three hits. I got a
meeting games that the one off the wall, but I
used a wooden bat if I used the metal bat.
I used a Wooden Corey Snyder bat. Yeah, And if
I used the metal bat, it would have been a
home run. And every time I go to Dodger State
brow it. I looked at the outfield, I see mother,
I could have been I could have been me. Let
(32:06):
hit a damn home running Dodger Stadium. Instead, I hit
it off the wall. I'm a loser off of that
was off a guy that led the American League and
earn run average, left handed pitcher, World Series champion Rick
honeycut him. Honey also got a hit off another World
(32:27):
Series champion, a guy that was just a fireballer, Mariano Duncan.
Um Duncan might remember him as an infielder, but for me,
he was a pitcher and he was pitching in the media.
Didn't have a PERM, yes, but at this point he
didn't though he was he was past the perm that
the PERM was in the eighties, but this was a
(32:49):
little later than that, a little later than that. So
and uh, that was my my baseball experience. Jeremy in Patuca, Indiana, right, So,
and he says, how, oh, has your coverage of sports
change from when you started to what it is today. Uh. Yeah,
So I'll tackle that one quickly, Jeremy. We don't have
(33:10):
a lot of time here. But the way I will
answer that, when I first got into sports radio, it
was very it was it was a lot different than
it is today. It was more about xs and os.
It was guys like Mike Francesa getting on the radio,
reading the Yankee lineup and reading batting averages, batting averages
(33:30):
and crap like that. Calm down on it Sunday morning.
And it's really evolved more where we don't necessarily break
down the games other than playoff games. It's more about
the stories and the people in sports the drama of
their lives. And the greatest stories for us in sports
(33:52):
radio today are a scandal like the Deshaun Watson story
which has happened, Jon Gruden, Brian Floora is those those
stories are great palace intrigue when guys don't like each
other on a team and they make it public. Uh.
Those things are that white story, yes, from info that
you normally wouldn't find out from behind the scenes. Yeah,
(34:16):
like stuff that was rumored. Do you know there was
a gambler? One of our listeners in Boston said on
the Sports Hub on Felger and maz They had a
gambler in Vegas in two thousand who said that Tom
Brady was looking at real estate in Vegas and was
going to play for the Raiders. And everyone said that
guy's just a loser. He's a professional gambler. He has
(34:37):
no inside information. He was a percent correct correct man.
Chris and Marracca Iowa says opinion on Costco hot dog
and pizza. Which one is better both my meal hot
dog and pizza. I go both. I don't short change
or one or the other. I think the pizza slightly better. Well, well,
(34:58):
how can you go wrong pizza? You know, I'll keep
going wrong with That's the way to some places get
it wrong. All right, Well we'll leave on that note. Danny,
the mail bag is done, and don't forget next weekend
we will have in depth team coverage. We will not
get this anywhere else. This is gonna be a podcast exclusive.
(35:19):
We're actually really tired from Friday Nights Spectacular band. We
just don't know it yet. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're just
pretending like we're not. Yeah, that's us in the future.
We don't know exactly. Have a great day today, don't forget.
I'll be back behind the microphones of fs are god
willing tonight from eleven to three Sunday in the Monday
(35:39):
in the West, and that is two am to six
am in the Eastern time zone, and if you're in
the Central time zone, that's what I am two four
a m. Is that right now five am five. But
I said there'll be no math, Danny, But there's math there.
It is. I just already screwed it up. Take that
for data. Put that in your pipe. What do you
(36:00):
have going on today, Danny. I'm gonna be in for
the Covino and Rich show, having fun in the early evening,
and then the show right before you leading up to
your first show the week is, of course Arnie Spaniard
with Chris Plank. Oh Laker fans, Patrick Beverley. I want
you to enjoy Patrick Beverley, and I would also like
(36:21):
you to go to confessional for all the nasty things
you said about him, just like Coop and just like Roberto,
I never said anything about him. I laugh now that
all these Laker guys, all these historians have to now
do it, and you've said it before. He's one of
those players where you love him when he's on your team.
(36:41):
Everyone else hates him. He's one of those dudes where
he's got to be on your team for you know.
He's a he's an instigator, he's a pest. I love
the way he plays. He reminds me of like a
nineteen eighties, like Detroit Pistons guy that he just wanted
to punch, or old Celtic guy back in the day. Anyway,
I'll get out of here. You have a great day
with talk Yeah, next time Later. Skater gott a murder.
(37:04):
Gotta go.
Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, 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, the Clearinghouse of hot takes
break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben
(00:24):
Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, and a
very good Sunday to you if you're listening the day
this podcast drops. It is the Fifth Hour with Ben
Maller and Danny g Radio, and it's all about the
(00:45):
mail bag, which we're gonna get to in a moment.
Danny g As, we have had a big weekend here. Friday,
David Vasse, the man that went viral, went down a
slide in Milwaukee and gave us the inside skinny. I'd
never heard the details that he had actually gone down
the slide twice. He actually succeeded the first time, didn't
(01:08):
get hurt, and it was the second time, all for television.
He ends up breaking six ribs in his wrist. And
but he's a he's a legend now, he's a viral star.
Not many people can say they've had a viral moment
where the New York Post TMZ, all the tabloids they
were writing about him. He's a big deal now. They
(01:29):
made the T shirt go get it out of the Ocean,
and they made the vasse a T shirt with him
holding up his cast. Uh, that's that's rare ground. And
I then I gotta say this really quick. That was
some of the best investigative reporting you've done on the podcast.
That's my audition tape to go to sixty minutes or
whatever whatever the new investigative show is. I don't know that.
(01:50):
When I was a kid, it was sixty minutes. But
but yeah, no, I was really into it. We did
frame by frame coverage what happened. Everybody on sixty minutes died. Yeah,
they're all that. But the waiver he had to sign
the waiver. Uh. He talked about Mookie Bets giving him
a hug. That was kind of cool, the Dodger guys
checking on him, and that was met the human side
(02:10):
of some of these multimillionaire ball players and it was great.
So if you didn't hear that, go back and download
that on the Friday podcast. Let me tell you Dannagy.
The The deal on this is that Vasse has set
like download records. I mentioned this on the podcast. I'm
not exaggerated like Dodger Talk. The show that he does,
(02:31):
it gets insane downloads every month. So maybe we'll benefit
from that, like in an indirect way having Vessey on,
we'll get some of those download numbers from that. Lots
of dog groupies, yeah, for sure, for sure. So before
we get to the mailback though, I wanted to go
back to the Saturday podcast. Jay Scoop posted a nice
message on the backscratchers segment, and you can do that
(02:55):
as well on the Apple podcast page. Just write a
review and helps us out. So he announced this week
he has been a relationship for a long time. In fact,
I met his his girlfriend when I was in Seattle.
We had a meal together. Very nice woman. But they've
gone their separate ways. There were some issues. They disagreed
(03:15):
on some very important things, and so they decided to
depart ways. And so Jay Scoop is back on the market,
and he hasn't been on the market for a long time.
And he said, I need some advice. He can I
have Danny g give me some. Now he's going to
be at this event, or he was at the event
I should say, on Friday, so he probably already came
(03:36):
up to you. So this is like after the fact advice,
But this is for the other people out there, any
last second tinderon e tips that Danny G can give
to a guy like Jay Scoop who was in a
relationship for a long time and now he's back out
trying to catch a nice young lady. Yeah, I would say,
(03:56):
you don't want to get too serious too fast with
anyone been. Don't jump into some rebound because your mind
is not even clear yet, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's the rebound, you know, the old the bouncy bouncy
bouncy bounds have a huge basket by just enjoy yourself,
have fun, do things, go out and meet new friends.
(04:19):
Things will fall into place. Everything is better after you've
had some time and look yourself in the mirror and
do your ship even better. And then you're really ready
after that to meet somebody that's going to be the
right person long term. Yeah, Jay Scoop is in good
shape here. He's a He's a talented guy, very easy musician.
You know, Danny Women I'm in a time of stereotype.
(04:40):
I believe I will speak for women. They enjoy a musician.
They like the man that can perform music for them.
That's a that's a nice thing. You're not wrong. If
you whip out a guitar, you have that girl's attention.
Better be able to play it, might be able to
something else out, you know what I'm saying. All right, anyway,
all right, thank you. Lame jokes are on Friday. We
you've got the mail bag, and that means our guy, Ohio.
(05:03):
All it's all right, good job, Ohio. All So, let's
get right to it. These are actual questions by actual
listeners to the show, and uh let's start out with
(05:27):
this one. By the way, before we get into it,
you can email your question right now. You don't have
to wait for me to post something on Facebook, which
I do every Monday or Tuesday. Ben mallor show is
our Facebook page. You can send it right now. You
can send it today, tomorrow, the next day. You can
send it in the middle of the night, early in
the morning Middays, doesn't matter if I'm sleeping or if
I'm awake. Real fifth hour at gmail dot com. Spell
(05:49):
it out Real Fifth Hour at gmail dot com, and
we may read your question on the podcast Nick in
Wisconsin nights In. As we go right to the mail bag,
I got mail, Yeah, I got mail. Yeah, he says,
Benn and Danny, gy, if you could go back and
play a sport that you didn't get to play growing up,
(06:13):
what would it be and why? I wish that we
would have had lacrosse up here. Thanks. That's from from
Nick Well. I I did get to play a little
bit of the sports I loved. There's nothing I didn't
get to play that I wish I had played. I
wish well, I used that I love baseball. I didn't
(06:33):
play in high school and because I wasn't that great
at it, but I would have loved to have done
it in high school. Would have been fun. But I
played football. I played a little basketball for one year
in high school, So I dabbled in that. Um trying
to think like maybe something in the water, if I
knew how to surf or something like that, that would
be kind of cool. What about you, Danny, anything that
(06:54):
you wish you could do that you didn't do. Yeah,
this one's easy, except this sport wasn't around when we
were in school pickle ball, pickle ball, pickle ball. But
Google just google it. You kids just google it. Uh.
Though the kids know what it is, some adults don't know,
(07:15):
but some do. Ben because there's actually an adult pickle
ball league in this area. You play with a tennis net.
It's a cross between bad mitton and tennis. Okay, I'm
looking at a special whiffle ball is used and it's
almost like paddles for the rackets. Oh man, that looks
(07:36):
too much like tennis. Though that might be a pain
in the ass. I don't know. Fun, it's a lot
of fun. And when you play with the kids, they
think they're gonna smoke you right away, just because you're older.
I not only held my own I was spiking that
ball down on the kids because we grew up, you know,
trying to learn how to play tennis. So we got
some of those skills in the back hand and all
(07:58):
that does take a lot of in dotty you though,
according to the Internet, pickleball was invented in nineteen sixty five,
so it's really not that old. A children's backyard game
in Bainbridge Island, Washington. Yeah, and and did you know, Danny,
you probably did because you're a pickleball guy. In two
this year, pickle ball was adopted as the official state
(08:20):
sport of Washington. Did not know that. I know that
there's leagues and teams popping up across the country. Yeah,
there's an American Pickleball Association. That's crazy. You know who
would love this, Our friend Pierre and and Alf the
adianal Piner would love love pickle ball because they're all
(08:41):
about the pickle They're all in bed. At my middle school,
they do a pickleball tournament. Kids are up there for days.
They signed their teams up and there was a prize
at the end of it. Their pickle ball crazy. They
love the pickle ball. I what about cornhole? I think
cornhole's an under a rated thing. It's not really a sport,
(09:01):
but it's a fun thing. Yeah, that's right. Mike from
East of the four oh five rights, and he says,
after you had another shameless cheating scandal on the weekday show,
this might be Mike from Fullerton Possible. He says, after
another cheating scan on the weekday Show that Danny g
witnessed firsthand. I have a question about cheaters. Have either
of you caught someone cheating outside the show before, like
(09:25):
in a board game, poker, or a sport. I'll go first, yes, Mike.
In fact, I was there in attendance in the seventeen
World Series when the Houston Strows were cheating against the
Dodgers in the World Series. That is scumbags. Uh. And
they were doing it on the road, they were doing
(09:46):
it at home. Baseball covered up, they downplayed the damage.
They ran interference for him. But they were cheating everywhere. Uh,
the Strows, that's the big one. But as far as
like board game stuff, yeah, back back in the day,
you'd see like Monopoly trying to people trying to sneak
a little extra house here and there. Uh, what about you, Danny.
(10:07):
As a kid, we lived in the Bay Area after
we left l A the season Jose Conseco went for yeah, yeah,
tickets to the A's games that season. So I witnessed cheating, right,
that's true. That's true. Did you want witness anyone in
the upper deck of the Colosseum getting a tongue bath?
(10:28):
Did you witness any of that? I was at the
age where I would have been confused and I would
have been asking questions, what what's that? What are they
doing up there? That is there milking the cow? Is
that what's going on there? That does not look like
a cow? I don't Yeah. And if you don't know
what Ben's talking about, go to the internet and you'll
(10:48):
see the uh the viral, the virus video. What happened
up top at an Oakland A's game. Let's just say
it gives new meaning to the A suck this. Yes,
there was a lot of sucking and the the A
is really blow They really do there. She blows. That's
(11:09):
a term when you see a whale. That's a fishing term.
Right there, she blows that. You say, they're moving on
on the mail bag. Let's see yo yo ma Benny Uh.
The email begins from our friend in uh in Tennessee says,
has Real Talk ever tried to call after his suspension
from the show? If he did call when you put
(11:31):
him on the air, so a Real Talk to my knowledge,
has not tried to call the show. Uh. He called
me at a time I had just come back, my
father had passed away. He made made a few insensitive
comments and we we gave him what originally was a
six month band from the show and just has turned
(11:52):
into over two years off the year. But yeah, if
he called up and was somewhat apologetic, I would I
would put him on here. I I don't have an issue.
He would always do the same, stick with real talks,
standard call for those who don't know real talk. He
was one of my regular callers from New York. This
may be my last call I'll ever make. And he
(12:15):
got married. I think what happened is he just got
married and he just stopped because a lot of guys
when they get married, they can't keep listening to the
show and participating. I don't think he was working overnights anymore.
I think that's what all right. But but anyway, he
would call up, he'd do a kind of a normal call.
He'd ask questions, and he'd like, hey, Eddie, what do
you think about barbecued ribs? And then he'd be okay, well, good, good,
(12:38):
good good, And he'd asked Cooper question in Roberto, and
then at some point he would ask the most obscene,
offensive question he could possibly ask, and then we'd have
to hang him up, hang up on him. And you
were with me, of course, Dan that so I was
there when he was a reigning caller of the year. Yeah,
highly decorated. In fact, the Golden Ticket began with he
(12:59):
was like, the US gotta get it, and we gave
him one and he called right back the next segment,
get back on the air. That was awesome, may he
he and I kind of put that idea together. Yeah,
And we rewarded him with the very first one, back up,
back up, get jack up, catch up? All right? Alan
(13:20):
and Akarin Ohio rights and he says, Danny g why
do you use different sign offs like later skater and
hosta pasta? Most broadcasters used the same one every time.
We like to mix it up. Man, You don't just
do one podcast. You blow the competition out of the
water by doing three podcasts. Yes, exactly, exactly. So I
gotta keep people on their toes, and we're we have
(13:42):
routines and we kind of do same segments and some
of our famous sayings, but you can't just predict which
one is coming because we have a few of them.
I love the fact that this has been in Alan's
head long enough where he's like, I gotta get an answer.
I got us in the message in because I it's
killing me. Why I hear hasta pasta or asta pasta
(14:05):
or whatever, and later skip. And also after I do that,
I rotate either by Felicia or of course the famous one.
Roberto still uses gotta murder, gotta go oh, yes, our
buddy in Florida. Yeah, And sometimes to really keep you
on your toes, I throw helmet man in there where
he says one more thing, man, what do you think
(14:27):
about the orioles? Well, there are so many of those.
I had a guy, the Duke guy, that wanted to
propose to his lady on the show, and he did.
And then he had done the proposal and he says,
can I still talk about duke or something like that.
It was so so ridiculous, so so stupid here. But
(14:49):
you know, we're just trying to get along, you know.
Don't be rude. We don't want to be rude. We
don't want to be rude at all. Now, this is
a question from the past, so we're gonna go on
the way back machine. This next one's from Johnny, and
he wanted to know, are you all gonna live stream
the meet up? We've already had the meet up. I
had no plans to live stream the meet up, Danny,
(15:09):
So this is us in the future. Right now and so,
but we don't exactly know what happened in the past. Yeah,
we don't know. Eddie has been known to randomly turn
on a camera and take some really awkward photos. Terry
from England Rights and he says, did you have any
inspirational teachers at school? Of course, Terry list, I would
(15:34):
not be where I am without teachers pushing me along
in certain directions. I had Mr Zeke uh Carl, I
actually I called him Mr Carl, but he was a
great guy. And uh I had a problem of actually
getting up early to go to school, so I I
hated getting up in the morning. I was not a
morning I'm still not a morning person, but uh he
(15:56):
was a really good influence on me. I had a
speech teacher in high school also kind of like really
not more debate than speech and Mr Laura I believe
was his name, and he if I remember correctly, but
but he was really cool, like he just like was
neat and it was one of those classes where you
don't feel like you're in school, and it's really hard
when you're a kid. Because I was a bad not
(16:18):
a bad stuit. I just didn't like getting up early
for school and like when you were in a class
where it didn't feel like you were in school, like
those were the greatest class, Like you were doing stuff,
but it didn't feel like it. And it's very hard.
There's an art to it. I know, Danny, you're a
teacher and you do that stuff. So if you can
get to that level where the kids don't really feel
like they're in school, you will be their favorite teacher
and you will you will be someone they talk about
(16:41):
when they're middle aged people. You will, Yeah, for sure.
It's kind of like I I have a group of
kids in one of the morning classes where when they
finish their bookwork or now their chromebook work, I let
them play the we oh yeah, they're playing Super Mario
Brothers and it the you know, it's the Week Controllers.
(17:02):
So it's really fun to play Mario Brothers. Like that.
They think I'm the coolest person alive. Of course, that'll
change once they get, you know, in trouble for something.
But no, you're right. I mean we think back to
teachers that made it kind of this awesome little world
that we stepped inside, got out of the bullshit away
from home, and we were able to step into something
(17:24):
that was more entertaining. I had a teacher like that,
Mrs Johnson. Her class was amazing. She was an amazing
teacher to this day. I think about the books she
read to us, some of the things she did with
the class. And she even did little cool field trips
to where we got to have a party that she
threw in her backyard and she made the ice cream herself,
(17:47):
and I thought that was the coolest shit ever. Nextually,
I know, I just saw this white thing flying at
my face. Are you sure she did or she just
telling you that? No, No, she had that actual machine
that made the ice cream. And I thought, oh, I'm
coming from the inner city. At that point, I'm like,
they make their own ice cream over here. This I
want to live here. That's awesome. Teachers have quotas Danny
(18:10):
like police officers have. Police officers have to write a
certain number of tickets, even though they say they don't like.
If you're a teacher, are you allowed to pass every
one of your students? Can you do you have to
give some bad grades? Do they get upset if you
give everyone good grades? How does that work? That's a
good question. I think that sort of pressure goes to
the pe teachers because the parents all expect their kid
(18:34):
to pass PE. How are you gonna fail PE? How
are you gonna get fired on your day off? It's true, though,
if you don't do well in PE, I mean, it's
like the easiest thing that you pass, go collect two
hundred dollars, the parents will come complain. I've seen the
PE coaches in meetings in the main office because the
(18:57):
principal or the vice principle is trying to get that
mail bumped up, and I feel bad for the pet
E cher. I'm like, man, they're not allowed to fail anybody.
Oh yeah, it's brutal alright, next up on the mail bags.
See here, any meany money? Yes we do. Jennifer, our
friend in Richmond, Virginia unable. She was unable to attend
(19:19):
the Mallard meet and Greek, but she will come hang
out with us. At some point. She says, Hello, Benn
and Danny gy. Imagine you are on a frisbee golf
course with creeks, meadows, trees, and small leggs. If you
were gonna have an unusually bad throw, would you rather
have your frisbee land and sink into the murky mossy
(19:40):
knee deep mosquito infested creek, or right next to it
a huge, scary looking, long talent, sharp beaked alpha goose.
Who you must get that frisbee back since it's your
best one. Which do you prefer, man, I've had some
bad runnings with those geese. Man, those things are bastards.
(20:04):
I would go mosquito because I have been beaten by
so many mosquitoes. I feel like it wouldn't really impact
me at all. What say you, Danny G I say,
what kind of damn creative question? Was that? I wanted
her to share some of the stuff she's spoken was
Jennifer was on a She was actually out. She was
(20:24):
having a meeting with Joe Rogan and her friend Aaron Rodgers,
and they were having some ayahuasca. Came up with that.
Very unusual that she would send that out, but she was.
She was on the psychedelics. Good for you, Jennifer lived
your best life, young lady. Good job by you. I
think mushrooms taste gross smoke weed al right. Next one
(20:47):
from Angelina, she writes, and she says, has been a
while since I've written, but I still listen to the
podcast and show consistently. I haven't had something to write
up until now. I thought of the issue. I am
a word person says and kind of pay attention to
how people say, which is one of the reasons I
really like your show and the podcast. You were all great. Anyway,
(21:09):
I wanted to get your take on a few things
in a couple of the ads. Have you noticed in
the link Soul Clothing at it says that their garments
are breathable and it would take days to put holes
in your clothes if you did it yourself. M She writes,
Uh no, I think it could only take seconds to
(21:31):
put holes in my clothes if I wanted to. It's
such an odd line. Maybe I am missing something. This
is especially funny because on Tuesday, Chloe, the eleven year old,
came out of the bathroom with pants that she had
just destroyed with scissors on man, Yeah, because she could
(21:53):
not cut enough holes into these jeans. Yeah, well, how
did you handle? How did how did the Her mom
just rolled her eyes and she's like, look at Chloe's
new jeans. The most amazing part of that, as as
is obviously referencing they sell those things for an ungodly
amount of money, right, Yeah, they charge you extra, which
(22:18):
is like we did the scissor work, you lazy ex
gens or whatever the gen x is or whatever the
hell you're called. Yeah, so let me answer the question
this way, Angela, and I'll go back to my studying
of infomercials. I have read several books on infomercials. We
tried to get Mr Poppel on rom Popel but he
(22:38):
died before he could come on. Well he actually turned
this down a couple of times before he could come on.
But that guys, the o Gas passed away. Well he
was also a thousand years old. But but the key
to and informers, right, the key is this is going
to make your life easier, right that even if it's
not right, it's like the late Billy mays Hi bill
(23:00):
Amaze here and uh, the fastest easiest way to solve
your problem, guaranteed order. Right now, operators are standing by
that kind of thing. You know what the newest thing
is for those that you just impersonated on the screen,
It flashes not available on Amazon, not available on Amazon. Yeah. Yeah,
(23:21):
like listen, I will loser I when I go to
like Walmart or Target. I I gravitate my wife if
I walk away from her. It's to see the as
scene on TV section at Walmart or Target. But I've
studied so again the point of this, it's just basic marketing, Angeline.
But you probably already do this year a smart woman.
But it's just to sell a product. Most people think
you have to tell the consumer there's a problem and
(23:44):
this is going to make your life easier. And if
you notice that, pretty much every commercial that we do
is the same problem solution. Uh, we're gonna save you
more money than everyone else, right, or this product will
make your life much easier because of X, Y and Z,
And so you know that's how it works, and it's
(24:08):
just basic advertising. She also says, riddle me this. In
the five hour Energy at it says that you have
to take a picture of the receipt to upload it
to win. But don't you have to purchase? He says.
They say you don't have to purchase anything, But how
does that make sense? Exactly exactly, exactly exactly, And she
(24:32):
also points out we had a call. She says, ps,
I got the card that is advertised on your show.
I certainly knew the answer to that question you asked
a caller recently, but I guess not everyone does. Yeah,
that amazes me. I do on a given night around
twenty discover card commercials in four hours live reads. Yeah,
(24:53):
and we had a caller. I forget who it was,
but I said, this I all know is Marcel. I
think it was Marcel, And I said, brought to you
by and no, I no, no clue, you know, speaking
a different language. Well that's why they need one every
hour or two or five? Yeah, yeah, I think it's
(25:15):
five an hour. I think something like that. Pierre is
next up, not working from home like Ferg doog Boy.
There's a rivalry, Danny, there's a rivalry. And will we
lose Pierre or furg Dog because we did lose the
power couple, well not the power couple of the the
couple in uh in Palmetto Bay. Uh. They've not been
(25:35):
party to the show in some time here. And I
hope everything's okay there, but I don't know. I don't
know what happened. It's kind of vanished. Pierre. This is
not working from home like fur Dog. I'd like to
preface my question by admitting that I stole it from
another podcast. There you uh and Ben, before you go
(26:00):
all Benny the baker cookie snob on me original chips
ahoy or original oreo. Alright, so, first of all, Pierre,
this is not that hard. I became morbidly obese powered
by chips ahoy. Now I am not against the oriole.
(26:22):
I am not anti Oreo. I enjoy a good pack
of Oreos. I could take a sleeve of oreos and
eat that thing within ten minutes. But the chips ahoy,
and that and milk, Oh my god, you're living your
best life right there. So I was all about the
chips ahoy. Uh. The orioles I was okay with, but
(26:42):
I usually had I was the original double stack guy.
Now he sell those double a triple stack, but she
ended up breaking him apart. The stack with the extra frosting,
the filling in that, I says. I can already hear
you going off on the rails about your homemade snickerdoodles
or the Gara Deli chocolate chip ice sandwich. Yeah, now
that's the ice cream Sunday, the gett Danny g Danny
(27:04):
Gearadeli's ice cream Sunday. The cookie Sunday at Gara Delis
is the single greatest dessert I've ever had in my life.
And I've eaten desserts all over the United States, and
I've never had a better dessert in the Cookie Sunday
at Gara Delis I had. I was in Chicago back
in in May. I told the story on the podcast Danny.
They had a Gara Delis right next to the Chicago
(27:25):
River and I stopped there and I had my Cookie
Sunday and I was the happiest I could be. And
you remember I told you my aunt she put that
on the on the menu. Yeah, she left her mark.
And I gotta say, Ben, famous Amos, those little bags
we get out of do not see that as an
(27:46):
option though you're going off the board. I'm going off
the board those many famous amos that come in the
snack sized bags out of our vending machine at the studios.
Just that little bag can power me through one hour
of the Jason Smith Show when I fill in. Do
you remember when they came out with the soft version
of the I think it was the chips and hard.
(28:06):
It was like a soft but it was a chocolate chip.
I don't like those, they're too rich. Yeah, I might
have enjoyed a few packs of those when I first started.
Next up Balls fan Jimmy from Big Orange Country. Yes,
he writes, and he says, for both of you, which
situation had you rather be in? At the free throw line?
(28:29):
Have we been asked this question? I feel like we
might have been asked this question? He says, which one
would you had you rather be in? Would you rather
be in free throw line down by two with three
foul shots awarded, no time on the clock, or the
field goal kicker at the forty eight yard line with
one second ago, down by two and a picture or
(28:53):
a batter with a two and a three count down?
Let me read that again in English? Were they two
and three count down by one? All for the championship? Damn?
So the easiest one of those would be the basketball.
And because foul shooting, I've been told this from people
that play in the played professionally, that it's really muscle memory,
(29:16):
that foul shooting is just repetition and and all that.
But a field goal, there's a lot of elements. Is
it outdoors? Is their wind that kind of thing? I
kick a mean football, though, Ben, Oh, do you do you?
Especially if it's a hard nerf like those new nerves
they have not the old foam nerve the new nerve
(29:38):
that's harder. Yeah, I could boot one of those things.
Last year. I would take the seventh graders up to
the field and they'd be like, damn, did you used
to be a punter? It's one of my hidden skills.
Are you automatica? Is? That they're the one that would
be the most fun because you kickers, I know they
(29:59):
pick up kick is, but they they hit a home
run as a as a batter, right and you know too,
you know three and two to have that that Joe
Carter Edgar rent are a moment. And I was actually
at that Edgar Rentaria game in the you know way back.
God it's been twenty five years, Holy crap. But in
(30:21):
Miami Marlins and then Cleveland Indians. Yeah, I said it,
I said it. I said it, Danny j the Cleveland
Indians because that's who was in the World Series. Um, anyway,
that was that was wild and crazy and goofy watching
the reaction to Miami and the Marlins celebrating and being
able to go into the locker room and be part
(30:42):
of that a little bit from an outsider's perspective, And
I still remember Darren Dalton, of all people whose people
only remember as a Philly but he was on that
Marlin's team. They picked him up late in the year
as a late season edition, and he was cuddling with
the World Series trophy. He had one arm like wrapped
around it, and then the other he had a beer,
(31:03):
and then he had a cigar in his mouth, and
he was just living his best life. And I think
back to that because he didn't live a full life.
He he passed away at at a young age of
really only a short time relatively speaking, after that World Series.
But anyway, I don't know why that popped in my head,
but it just popped in my head. So I'd pick
hitting the walk off home run or a hit to
win a baseball game. That's what I would now that
(31:24):
media game. What year was that your famous hit? In
that media game, I would date myself. You know, there
are two famous hits, Danny g There was the hit
off the wall. Uh that that one was off of
who was pitching that? I don't even remember who was
pitching that day? Uh? But I hit it off the wall.
(31:46):
I then got there were three hits. I got a
meeting games that the one off the wall, but I
used a wooden bat if I used the metal bat.
I used a Wooden Corey Snyder bat. Yeah, And if
I used the metal bat, it would have been a
home run. And every time I go to Dodger State
brow it. I looked at the outfield, I see mother,
I could have been I could have been me. Let
(32:06):
hit a damn home running Dodger Stadium. Instead, I hit
it off the wall. I'm a loser off of that
was off a guy that led the American League and
earn run average, left handed pitcher, World Series champion Rick
honeycut him. Honey also got a hit off another World
(32:27):
Series champion, a guy that was just a fireballer, Mariano Duncan.
Um Duncan might remember him as an infielder, but for me,
he was a pitcher and he was pitching in the media.
Didn't have a PERM, yes, but at this point he
didn't though he was he was past the perm that
the PERM was in the eighties, but this was a
(32:49):
little later than that, a little later than that. So
and uh, that was my my baseball experience. Jeremy in Patuca, Indiana, right, So,
and he says, how, oh, has your coverage of sports
change from when you started to what it is today. Uh. Yeah,
So I'll tackle that one quickly, Jeremy. We don't have
(33:10):
a lot of time here. But the way I will
answer that, when I first got into sports radio, it
was very it was it was a lot different than
it is today. It was more about xs and os.
It was guys like Mike Francesa getting on the radio,
reading the Yankee lineup and reading batting averages, batting averages
(33:30):
and crap like that. Calm down on it Sunday morning.
And it's really evolved more where we don't necessarily break
down the games other than playoff games. It's more about
the stories and the people in sports the drama of
their lives. And the greatest stories for us in sports
(33:52):
radio today are a scandal like the Deshaun Watson story
which has happened, Jon Gruden, Brian Floora is those those
stories are great palace intrigue when guys don't like each
other on a team and they make it public. Uh.
Those things are that white story, yes, from info that
you normally wouldn't find out from behind the scenes. Yeah,
(34:16):
like stuff that was rumored. Do you know there was
a gambler? One of our listeners in Boston said on
the Sports Hub on Felger and maz They had a
gambler in Vegas in two thousand who said that Tom
Brady was looking at real estate in Vegas and was
going to play for the Raiders. And everyone said that
guy's just a loser. He's a professional gambler. He has
(34:37):
no inside information. He was a percent correct correct man.
Chris and Marracca Iowa says opinion on Costco hot dog
and pizza. Which one is better both my meal hot
dog and pizza. I go both. I don't short change
or one or the other. I think the pizza slightly better. Well, well,
(34:58):
how can you go wrong pizza? You know, I'll keep
going wrong with That's the way to some places get
it wrong. All right, Well we'll leave on that note. Danny,
the mail bag is done, and don't forget next weekend
we will have in depth team coverage. We will not
get this anywhere else. This is gonna be a podcast exclusive.
(35:19):
We're actually really tired from Friday Nights Spectacular band. We
just don't know it yet. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're just
pretending like we're not. Yeah, that's us in the future.
We don't know exactly. Have a great day today, don't forget.
I'll be back behind the microphones of fs are god
willing tonight from eleven to three Sunday in the Monday
(35:39):
in the West, and that is two am to six
am in the Eastern time zone, and if you're in
the Central time zone, that's what I am two four
a m. Is that right now five am five. But
I said there'll be no math, Danny, But there's math there.
It is. I just already screwed it up. Take that
for data. Put that in your pipe. What do you
(36:00):
have going on today, Danny. I'm gonna be in for
the Covino and Rich show, having fun in the early evening,
and then the show right before you leading up to
your first show the week is, of course Arnie Spaniard
with Chris Plank. Oh Laker fans, Patrick Beverley. I want
you to enjoy Patrick Beverley, and I would also like
(36:21):
you to go to confessional for all the nasty things
you said about him, just like Coop and just like Roberto,
I never said anything about him. I laugh now that
all these Laker guys, all these historians have to now
do it, and you've said it before. He's one of
those players where you love him when he's on your team.
(36:41):
Everyone else hates him. He's one of those dudes where
he's got to be on your team for you know.
He's a he's an instigator, he's a pest. I love
the way he plays. He reminds me of like a
nineteen eighties, like Detroit Pistons guy that he just wanted
to punch, or old Celtic guy back in the day. Anyway,
I'll get out of here. You have a great day
with talk Yeah, next time Later. Skater gott a murder.
(37:04):
Gotta go.
