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, nine nine in the air, everywhere,
back at it live on tape. It's a podcast. We're
not live. It's a podcast. We do you think live,
but we're hanging out on radio road. Is the Fifth
Hour with Ben Maller and Danny g All weekend long
(00:46):
as we are part of the machine, the football machine,
the hype up super Bowl fifty seven and Danny g
I'm looking around here and I'm still seeing a lot
of people who are who are trying to sell it
has a swap meat feel to it. It does feel
like a swap meat like I have the magic beans
that will make it rain. Put me on your radio show,
(01:07):
Put me on your podcast for ten minutes, and I'm
gonna make magic. What do you see right now? Look?
The Great LaVar Arrington is posing with fans for photos.
You know how, on the Friday Penning podcast, you mentioned
that you saw the fake Andy Reid. I did. I
was blown away by that guy. Well, all week long
there has been the older version of a LaVar Arrington
(01:28):
walking around. He looked spinning image of LaVar, but he's
walking with a cane and his goatee is white. And
every time he goes by, I tell CNR, I'm like, look,
there's LaVar Arrington. Yeah, that is your future. That is
going to happen to you down the line, wild and crazy.
(01:48):
So on this the Saturday edition of the Fifth Hour
with Ben Mallard and Danny g we are gonna have
I can't even say who this is. This is such
a big name. Danny, Oh my god, I'm gonna make
I'm gonna make you wait for this name. It is
like it is going to break the podcast. It's my
favorite line all week long from Radio row here. Oh boy,
(02:11):
and the big names walking around You'll never you never
know who's gonna stop. You have big names plan for you.
Uh uh. Some some observations. But we're better liars than you,
by the way. Oh yeah, I'm a terrible liar and
I I was actually texting a couple of guys that
do radio shows back East, and we were like, man,
(02:33):
like so many of these guys who are like total
hard old guys, like they are really about it, and
I'm like, I can't be that guy, Like I love
kind of like mocking all of this. But I was
walking around after I did the Overnight show and and
these guys are like breaking down the XS and those,
you know, They're like really into it, and I'm like,
what are you doing though we're talking about football? Who
wants to hear that? You know, come on speaking. I'm
attached to the two Perfect shows because earlier in the
(02:56):
week there was this junket upstairs here at the convention Center.
It was all the Fox TV personalities and announcers that
we're gonna be doing the Super Bowl. So you had
everybody from Grant to Charles Woodson to that was the
one Terry dropped, dropped the dirt on Sean Payne. He
spilled the beans. So so we're trying to get in
(03:19):
there with the Covino enriched microphone ben and all these uh,
you know, TV stations from around the country. We're asking
these stupid, hard old football questions. What do you think
about Patrick mahomes health? What percentage would you put them at?
And and and Covino Ritz were trying to ask a
Casey barbecue or or a Philly cheese, and we were
(03:45):
looked at us if we were aliens, and like, you
guys can get out of And the thing that's amazing,
Like and I noticed when I was doing the website.
I haven't on the website in a long time. The
things that people actually want to hear about are about
barbecue and cheese. They could nobody wants to hear about
breaking down the four three defense or the three four defense.
(04:05):
Who the hell wants to do that? Maybe if you're
a high school football coach, But if you're just a fan,
you wanna you wanna make these people human beings. You know,
it's ridiculous. Um. Anyway, so before we we bring in
big name this again, download record, download record here someone
related to the Super Bowl, Massive name right around the corner.
(04:26):
I'm hoping it's it's it's story time. It's story time
on the fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny g
And who doesn't enjoy a good travel log A Mallard travelog,
And we have a doozy. So this kind of happened
(04:48):
at the last minute coming to the Super Bowl. I'm
very happy to be here. It's been great, it's been fun.
I hope to do this again next year Danny in
Vegas in sin City, hopefully that will we'll take place.
And so to kind of set the scene here that
the travel arrangements were not made far in advance. I
did not realize up until shortly before I came here
(05:10):
to Arizona that I would be coming. I heard rumors
that it might happen, but you don't know what you
don't know, and you don't know it's gonna happen until
it happened. And so I didn't say anything on the
radio show, and I didn't tweet anything out. And the
reason I didn't is because I was worried it might
not happen. I didn't want the Mallard jinks to be
(05:32):
in effect. I was trying to avoid the Mallard jinks. Yeah,
so there is that. But well, Bennett turns out that
you didn't lie about Yeah, we're gonna interrupt you right now.
And it was just it was just telling a story
about I was in the middle of a story and
what happened. We're gonna get back to your story in
(05:52):
just a moment. Here, you see, we're gonna We're gonna
get miked up here. Let me see we got two
mikes there you go. All right. See you thought I
was I was false advertising. You thought I was full
of crap. I was not. I was not. This is
very important podcast. Well we can turn your mind on here.
This is very important here. We're live on it's a
fifth hour, live on tape here, the fifth Hour with
(06:15):
Ben Maller and Danny g Radio as we hang out
with Scott podcast dojo. Oh, they're bringing up plate. There's
a plate of food. Is that food over there? What
do we have? We've uh, you don't want to eat that? Bai?
What is like chicken? Those are cold? Right? Those are
cold chicken cold? The legend it's like Smith, the all
(06:40):
time leading Russia's son, nice enough to join us. Welcome,
Thank you guys, thank you. Yea a fun week so far,
of course, I mean, I'm with my wingmen right, any
better than that? How many how many of these? How
many of these have you done, by the way at
this point through the week and all that, I mean,
(07:00):
I only did it today. Um, but yeah, maybe around
like what, Yeah, we've been to a couple of so
as your as your old man like schooled you on
the process. He back in the day, he did all
these things forever, so as he taught you like ten
years ago, it's kind of hard to school him on
the process. He's just join the moment now, he's now
he's seeing how all of it comes together when you
(07:21):
when you're in college and so forth, and now you're
around the big game itself officially. Now it's it's becoming
more real. Yeah, I mean I've done my due diligence,
and i mean he's a great mentor. So I've always
watched him since I was the kids. So now what
was it like, because like I've heard stories from like
your dad was like a big time deal, Like did
you like love your dad or did you're like like
(07:42):
did you like other guys because your dad was like
you know you all you knew it was your dad, right,
I mean, yeah, he was my he was my pop.
So like I've never really saw him as you know,
the m smith that you guys see. Yeah, so I've
always had other people that I've always looked at or
even him telling me who to look at, um. And
so with that, I mean, yeah, he's just my pops,
you know, I hear you. That's great. Well, well, it's
(08:04):
great to have you guys on and and and but
I want to ask you now, these athletes today, it's
it's not so much you need well that this generation though,
that's like load management and all that. You know that's
going on and all that, Like, uh, when you you
were playing and one of the reasons you have the
rushing record, you know you played, you kept playing, you
were banged up, you keep going on. What do you
think about this new generation the guys that and it's
(08:28):
not so much in football, but it's coming to football
that are kind of cutting to me. I think it's exactly, um,
what the the game. It's somewhat requiring because of a
lot of the concussion protocol issues that's been been talked about,
and where the probably the a lot of the the
(08:52):
hits are coming from. And so I think it's also
part of the marketing scheme also to devalue certain positions
for whatever reason. Um, And I think most of those
reasons are are related to high scoring games. What's not fun,
it's not fun to see the clock, tik tik tik tik,
take away through the run game. But it's fun to
(09:13):
see the ball in the air, catching the balls and
guys performing in the end zone. That's great, but uh,
you know, it's it has taken away the essence of
what the game, how the game was actually made, and
how the game was meant to be played. In the beginning,
I'm okay with the forward pass, but at the expense
(09:36):
of the game itself, I'm not. Uh. That's why I mean,
dbs don't have a chance right now. Uh, and big
hitters don't have a chance right now. I saw um
a Twitter feed this morning. I believe Ryan Clark knocked
a living breath out of West Walker this morning on
(09:58):
something the way we use to play football that doesn't exist.
That hit right now will get you kicked out of
the world. So so it's different what young running backs
in the league right now? Do you kind of admire?
You see some of yourself and them maybe uh, not many,
because I mean, when I see myself, I'm looking at
(10:19):
a style, uh not necessarily performance wise, how you look
in the uniform, how he moves in uniform, and mark
ingram to me has come become the closest to me. Um,
I can't really see too many other guys in that light. Yeah,
what was the Lebron James this week? Broke the story? Right?
Do you have the rushing record? Do you think that
(10:43):
you think about unbreakable records? The way the games played
these days, do you ever think about somebody breaking your
mark for rushing yards? I don't think about it, But
do you think it will happen? I believe if a
human data before another human can do it again. I
mean this, this is very cyclical right now. That might
be that might be a technology that develops that nobody
(11:03):
can get a concussion and you might be able to
protect bodies a lot better now, and then gods can
just go for it. And if that happens, you never
know what might happen. And so I'm a firm believer
that if a man did it before a man can
do it again, will I be around to see it?
I don't know, But until then I'm gonna stay where
(11:25):
I'm at on top of the very top. Was speaking
of basketball? Is your family have a favorite basketball team?
I mean, we don't really watch basketball. That was ever
bolting growing up? Was it only football? And what other
stuff we're growing up? What's the what's a growing up
with that? In that house? Was it all sports or
(11:45):
were you guys were like, I mean, we could do
whatever we wanted say. I mean he was really open
minded about that. I mean I I played, I played basketball,
I mean I would played golf, played tennis, played soccer, track.
I mean I did everything, and I mean it swim
better than me. The worst punishment you ever got a
(12:06):
little boat when here and there had to yeah, exactly, Uh,
and you guys are here because uh, I see you
said not do not eat the chicken wings. But it's
not about the chicken wings? What is it about. I'm
gonna just saying this as we in pro approached this weekend.
This is a weekend of festivities for a lot of people.
(12:29):
There's gonna be family members coming over, other folks, house,
friends coming over, people house. Super Bowl party is gonna
be a galore, and every Super Bowl part is always
gonna be a mess, some type of mess. Somebody's gonna
have to clean up something, and everybody's gonna have their
pick of food. Wings is gonna be part of it,
Ribs can be part of it, Sauces can be part
(12:51):
of all kinds of things. And wherever there are wings
and sauces is always going to be a mess. And
for us, you cannot play. You cannot have wings without football.
You cannot have football with out wings, and cannot have
wings without bounty. And so bounty is there to help
you clean things up. I mean, who not who's not
trying to eat good and have a good time, but
(13:12):
yet who don't want to clean up? I don't want
to clean up after all that cooking, But if I'm
gonna clean up with something, I want to clean up
with something that's gonna help me get it out the
way fairly quickly and not have things stick to my
hands and enjoy the moment as we're enjoying the game
and watching Rihanna do things. I didn't know what you
guys we're gonna be talking about, but we have bounty.
So I want you to know my house, we have bounties.
(13:35):
You try some of that other stuff that just you wrapping,
steal sticking on the things, and every bounty just cleans
it off. You do not need that. Listen, guys, I
know you gotta go, you gotta go do some more
of this, But thank you for stopping by. Thank you, guys,
appreciate it. Appreciate it, and thank you, and I want
your dad's watch. By the way, hanging out with us,
(13:59):
you're as back, but you weren't lying. That was a
big name, No, the all time leading rusher in the
NFL who just like, I'm I'm in mid stance, I'm
about to tell a story about me staying at a
crappy hotel. And I turned around and there's the all
time leading rusher in NFL history who's sitting down, like
what the hell? And and of course his son was
carrying a thing of wings. Yeah, And because you had
(14:21):
mentioned you were hungry and you were trying to get
some food, so I thought, well, look somebody must have
brought wings for Danny g And I was like, well,
maybe I'll have a wing. I'll break my fast for
with a wing. And I'm like, well, no, I'm not
gonna I'm not gonna break my fast with a wing.
And they were like emmitting his son were like you
probably probably shouldn't do that, but that was that was
(14:41):
kind of cool. That was good to have mmin on.
So now you don't have to wait and see when
I say something. When I say, we're gonna have a
big name. Boom. It happened just like that. And now
I'm gonna because now the next interview they give us,
it's gonna be somebody. I don't know what you're talking about,
but but I do have I actually do have the
the paper towels that he was pitching, so I happen
(15:03):
to have that at my house. Be sure to catch
live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two
a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio
and the I Heart Radio app. So travel Stories. Everyone
loves a good travel story, So I'll pick up where
we left off before we were interrupted by the all
time leaning rusher in the NFL, the great Emmitt Smith
in his son. So traveling here, I didn't know until
(15:25):
kind of before, right before we were coming, I was
I was gonna be here. So the travel was booked
at the last minute, and I flew an airline where
you don't get a reserve seat. Um, it's an airline
that had some major problems back in December. The weather,
it did not go so well for them. Their stock
wanting to toilet. But Tim, fine, I don't, I don't
(15:46):
I've flown that airline before. I have no problem with it. Um.
But we got there and we were in group C,
and I was the next last person getting on the plane,
which guaranteed I had to do the awkward excuse me,
I need that middle seat, which was the next to
last seat that was available. So I had to sit
on the middle seat, which but unfortunately it's a very
(16:07):
short flight from from l A to Phoenix, so it
didn't take that long. But then the next layer, Danny,
we get into the Valley of the Sun and we
take the uber to the hotel. Now again this was
all last minute. There's a massive golf tournament going on
this weekend, the waste management whatever it's called, which I'm
(16:28):
not really familiar with. I kind of goofed on it.
But like if you're a hard old golf fan, this
is like awesome. It's like a big party scene. And
they estimate the uber driver said, there's like two hundred
thousand people that are coming into this area for that. Yeah,
bringing one billion dollars Phoenix. And it's like one of
(16:48):
those things too, because you you go into Arizona and
like a lot of these people, I'm not going to
the super Bowl. You're not going to the super Bowl
because you can't afford it? Are you? Are you from?
I think my man Don Martin back there, he's got
a stack of tickets. Tickets, man, but they're clients and
exactly no. So but like the waste management thing, you
(17:10):
can get in for a few owner bucks or whatever,
so you can go hang out. And I guess the
way they were explaining, they're all drinking. So anyway, a
point of this, all the good hotels were booked. So
I was on the phone with our boss and we
were trying to make travel arrangements. And originally I was
just gonna come by myself. Uh and uh. He had
a couple of options for hotels, and so I picked.
(17:31):
I don't know these hotels, so I picked one of
the hotels, and my wife decides, well, she wanted to
come with me because I we have some family here.
Her brother actually is visiting the Phoenix area just but
he's not a football fan. He just happened to be here.
So my wife's like, well, I want to come and
hang out and whatever. So I was like, well that's great.
You know, I'm gonna be there working most of the time,
but you know, and I didn't even realize we could
kind of let her in a little bit to see
(17:51):
how we do things. Uh, Jonas, Actually I learned from
Jonas the other day that that was an option. I
didn't know that was an option. So so anyway, we
get in the uber. We go to a hotel and
you know, my wife a little bit. She dresses much
better than me. She wears nice clothes, dresses, jackets, jewelry.
So we get out of the uber and we walk
into the hotel and as we are walking in, it's
(18:14):
like the zombie apocalypse. I don't know what kind of
drugs these people are on at this hotel, but that
was the first sign. Boy, this is probably not good.
But maybe he's leaving. Maybe the guy's leaving and he's
not staying there. So we thought, maybe that's that, Uh
a bad part of town. I don't know what a
bad but I've been here a lot over the years,
but it didn't look like the greatest part of town.
But I've been in worse places. So anyway, and I
(18:38):
walk in, there's a guy walking out. He looks like
he's been doing math or whatever. He's been up for
like a week, and so I'm like, oh, this is
not good. So I'm like, we go into the front
of the desk where you gotta get the key and
check in. There's bulletproof glass of the person. Always that's
always a good sign. And for me, Ben, that takes
me back to home, that makes me feel at home. Yeah. Yeah.
(19:00):
Then I'm like, well that's not a good sign. So
now we've got two strikes. Um, then we got the key.
I'm like, well, maybe it's you know, maybe this rooms
are nice. You know, it's nice. You know, it's like
it's tell me they did not have the nineteen seventies
style comforter on that ugly golden kind of color. So
then we keep going. We now have to get in
(19:21):
the elevator to go up to the floor we're staying at.
As we're getting into the elevator, uh, and I feel bad,
but a family with groceries was coming in. They were living,
they were living at the hotel. So it now it's
like a homeless shelter with people doing drugs and bulletproof glass,
and and it's like, oh, boy, did your wife make
(19:41):
you leave and find another hotel? Well it gets better,
So we didn't. I'm like I'm trying. I'm Benny bright Side,
I'm trying to be optimistic, like, oh, it's gonna be okay,
don't worry. Okay, we can make sandwich with that family. Now, remember,
my wife's all dressed up, you know, and I'm dressed
like a radio slob, and she's all dressed up, and
(20:03):
so I fitted I could have stayed there. So we
get to the room. The room looked like it hadn't
been cleaned since the eighties, right, So there's dust, there's
the doors. Had you know that black electrical Yeah, oh
it was terrible. No, it didn't really smell like there
was like cracks in the floor in the bathroom. It
(20:25):
was unbelievable. And so my wife starts freaking out. She's like, well,
what you're going to do the over night show? I'm
gonna be here by myself. You didn't look at the
Yelp or the ratings or anything on this place before
you ordered into national hotel chain? It is it doesn't
I would assume that if it's a national chain that
they would have some you know, like if you're always
(20:47):
should go to Yelp to get the real photos whatever.
I was getting ready for the show, so I find
I gave it. I mean I felt like I was
in Afghanistan or something like that. I mean it was
like a demilitarized zone at this point. And uh and
I just I was like, you know, what reminded me
of like an old school comedy, Like that's the scene
from an old comedy. I was living a movie. Like
(21:08):
I walk in my wife all dolled up, dressed up,
we walk into like I feel like I was in
the Tenderloin district in San Francisco, you know, one of
those places. And uh, so we did end up and
the guy at the hotel this out. This how crappy
a hotel this is? And I'm not gonna rip the
hotel because the guy couldn't have been great. My wife
calls up, she has me call up actually, and we
(21:28):
had just gotten where. We were in the room for
maybe fifteen minutes, and she says, well, I'm you know,
I'm like, I'm giving the guy the story, the sob
story about how we can't stay here and all this stuff,
and the guys the guy's like, Okay, what roomor in
and he's like uh and my my wife she jumps in.
She's like, well, it's not it's not the room. It's
(21:48):
just you know, it's she's she's. The guy was like, total,
apparently this happens all the time, and uh and so
he gave us a full refund and we were out
the door and we went to another hotel and odd, Yeah,
it was pretty it was pretty Nutso, man, on a
scale of one to tend, how much better was the
next hotel? Well, we're gonna talk about that because there's
(22:08):
a funny story about it. We're gonna save that for
the next podcast. There is a funny tale about that
next hotel. The Tales of Travel. You've had a pretty
good week, right, Dady, as far as the travel stuff,
you've you've been here since. But Sunday, you guys got
in the only the only problem we had on the
flight over. We me, Covino and Rich you guys all
(22:29):
flew togainst Spot Yeah, and and j Stu from the
Gottleip Show. We all flew out of Burbank together last
Sunday afternoon. So we board the flight. I won't say
the name of the airlines, but we are you know,
we're in our chairs, we're we're cool. But as soon
(22:50):
as we get up in the sky. The flight attendant
comes on and says, there is probably gonna be some
turbulence and then use the word severe, severe turbulence in fact,
so keep seat belts on. And because of those turbulence,
no drink service, no snacks. I'm surprised to even have
(23:10):
that on such a short flight. Well, you know, on
a flight to Vegas out of l A, you'll you'll
get a little bag of you know, trail mix or
checks mix or whatever, and then they'll just give you
like a cup of soda with ice. They won't give
you the whole can maybe, but they'll pour you a
cup of something. So we kind of expected that, and
we were all hungry because we were in between meal times,
(23:31):
so we're like that snacking a cup of soda is
gonna be great. Well that was out the window because
now we're all scared for our lives because they're using
the words severe. So Cavino's turning pale because I don't
think he's a good flyer, and at least from what
I could see on this flight, and he's like, did
you hear what he said? And he's like shifting in
(23:51):
his his seat, and you know, the guy loved to
hear himself talk. I think because he came on ten
minutes later and said it again, and so now I'm thinking,
oh my god, we're in for the worst turbulence of
our lives. Here was it, Ben. There was not one
bump in the sky on this It was smooth sailing,
(24:17):
no issues, no problems. I swear to god. I think
they did this just so they didn't have to serve
us a drink or snack. But maybe they ran out
of something, Like they ran out of drinks. They're like,
I know what, They'll just say, there's turbulence and that's
how that we won't give out the drinks and all
that stuff. Yeah. I think here's my theory on pilots.
I think at the beginning of every flight, they should say,
this is gonna be the worst flight of your life.
(24:38):
We're lucky if we land, and then you'll feel great,
you'll feel wonderful. You'll be like, this is this is
absolutely outstanding. When I get on the plane, I'm like,
that's out of my hands. If anything happens, you know,
that's it. You know, what are you gonna do? You know,
if that's the worst thing that happened on a flight
then you know it. You can't complain, you know. But
(24:59):
he didn't to use the words severe. It's a bad words.
You're good with words. You're a wordsmith. Occasionally, yes, occasionally.
It's not a great not a great choice. Have you
have you been on a flight with really terrible we have? Yeah,
we've talked about right, And I had drinks and snacks
on that flight. By the way, did you were people
(25:20):
throwing up? I didn't see it. I didn't see any bars.
You didn't see not remember the story. We didn't serve
a full meal. It's not like back in the day
where they'd give everybody a TV dinner. Remember we talked
about that, that story that there was those kids, I
think it was. It was it in Vegas or somewhere.
They got food poison and they were all throwing up
outside the elementary school. And it's just like it's like
(25:40):
a scene out of a horror horror movie or the Bible,
Sodom and Gomorrahs, Like, what is going on here? Brutal? Brutal, brutal.
But we will continue this in a future. The Sunday
edition of the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny
g Now are you gonna read any questions? Is there
gonna be any You know, I did not post because
I figured we'd have a guest, the great EMMITTT. Smith.
(26:02):
I didn't think we have em Att Smith on. I
know we're gonna have another big name, hopefully on the
Sunday Podcast, which we no, no, no, no, antell it's
gonna be massive, which we're we're looking forward to. But
we will. I will have the conclusion because there's more
hotel shenanigans that are taking place, and we do have
some loyal minions who do not wait for me to post,
(26:23):
send questions in for the mail bag, and so we
did have a few people who wrote questions in. So
we'll have some a very small hybrid version of the
Sunday mail Bag on the fifth hour with Ben Maller
and Danny g and anything to promote here, Anything you
would like to promote, Danny, anything you wanna be selling.
Do you have any paper, towels, toilet paper, bottle of
(26:44):
water you would like to promote here? No, but to
be a company man. It is Saturday right now as
you listen to this podcast, and what better way to
prepare for the Super Bowl than to have Fox Sports
Radio on NonStop, in your car, your phone, headphones, wherever
you're going. And I gotta tell that, for years I
did the Super Bowl show with Looney Remember shocked. Every
(27:07):
year we say, no one's listening, everyone's watching the super
Bowl and there are so many people out who are
making food runs or people the living food. We would
give out the phone and we have full phone lines.
We had we were cleared everywhere because just about everywhere
I can't get past. I keep looking at the again.
I'm in a trance state looking at that cube spinning
(27:28):
around here. This is the perfect weekend. That's like in
Brazil they have the Jesus statue atop the mountain. It's
it's unbelievable. It is is amazing. This is the perfect
weekend to use that I heart app and just type
in FS are for Fox Sports Radio and take the
live shows with you. Shouts out to everybody who are
busting their butts, not only tearing down the stage and
(27:51):
everything back in Phoenix getting ready for Sunday, but also
back in Sherman Oaks, California, running the show from behind
the scenes and on the main microphones. Yes, and I
do listen. I feel the agony. Not everyone gets to
go to these things, so it does you know, it sucks.
I wish everyone could go, and I didn't get to
go for a long time, so it's cool. The last
couple of years have been awesome, and hopefully next year
(28:12):
in Vegas also crazy and wild and all that. So
I have a great rest of your day. Remember we'll
have a hybrid mail bag on Sunday. And I don't
think we can trap the or we we can trump
the all time leading rusher in the NFL, but you
never know, we'll find out you're right about that. We
might have the Andy Reid look alike. I would like
(28:32):
to talk to that guy. I gotta get a photo
of that guy, and he's still here. I'm gonna track
that guy down anyway. I have a great rest of
the day with catching next time and see you Austa
Pasta
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, nine nine in the air, everywhere,
back at it live on tape. It's a podcast. We're
not live. It's a podcast. We do you think live,
but we're hanging out on radio road. Is the Fifth
Hour with Ben Maller and Danny g All weekend long
(00:46):
as we are part of the machine, the football machine,
the hype up super Bowl fifty seven and Danny g
I'm looking around here and I'm still seeing a lot
of people who are who are trying to sell it
has a swap meat feel to it. It does feel
like a swap meat like I have the magic beans
that will make it rain. Put me on your radio show,
(01:07):
Put me on your podcast for ten minutes, and I'm
gonna make magic. What do you see right now? Look?
The Great LaVar Arrington is posing with fans for photos.
You know how, on the Friday Penning podcast, you mentioned
that you saw the fake Andy Reid. I did. I
was blown away by that guy. Well, all week long
there has been the older version of a LaVar Arrington
(01:28):
walking around. He looked spinning image of LaVar, but he's
walking with a cane and his goatee is white. And
every time he goes by, I tell CNR, I'm like, look,
there's LaVar Arrington. Yeah, that is your future. That is
going to happen to you down the line, wild and crazy.
(01:48):
So on this the Saturday edition of the Fifth Hour
with Ben Mallard and Danny g we are gonna have
I can't even say who this is. This is such
a big name. Danny, Oh my god, I'm gonna make
I'm gonna make you wait for this name. It is
like it is going to break the podcast. It's my
favorite line all week long from Radio row here. Oh boy,
(02:11):
and the big names walking around You'll never you never
know who's gonna stop. You have big names plan for you.
Uh uh. Some some observations. But we're better liars than you,
by the way. Oh yeah, I'm a terrible liar and
I I was actually texting a couple of guys that
do radio shows back East, and we were like, man,
(02:33):
like so many of these guys who are like total
hard old guys, like they are really about it, and
I'm like, I can't be that guy, Like I love
kind of like mocking all of this. But I was
walking around after I did the Overnight show and and
these guys are like breaking down the XS and those,
you know, They're like really into it, and I'm like,
what are you doing though we're talking about football? Who
wants to hear that? You know, come on speaking. I'm
attached to the two Perfect shows because earlier in the
(02:56):
week there was this junket upstairs here at the convention Center.
It was all the Fox TV personalities and announcers that
we're gonna be doing the Super Bowl. So you had
everybody from Grant to Charles Woodson to that was the
one Terry dropped, dropped the dirt on Sean Payne. He
spilled the beans. So so we're trying to get in
(03:19):
there with the Covino enriched microphone ben and all these uh,
you know, TV stations from around the country. We're asking
these stupid, hard old football questions. What do you think
about Patrick mahomes health? What percentage would you put them at?
And and and Covino Ritz were trying to ask a
Casey barbecue or or a Philly cheese, and we were
(03:45):
looked at us if we were aliens, and like, you
guys can get out of And the thing that's amazing,
Like and I noticed when I was doing the website.
I haven't on the website in a long time. The
things that people actually want to hear about are about
barbecue and cheese. They could nobody wants to hear about
breaking down the four three defense or the three four defense.
(04:05):
Who the hell wants to do that? Maybe if you're
a high school football coach, But if you're just a fan,
you wanna you wanna make these people human beings. You know,
it's ridiculous. Um. Anyway, so before we we bring in
big name this again, download record, download record here someone
related to the Super Bowl, Massive name right around the corner.
(04:26):
I'm hoping it's it's it's story time. It's story time
on the fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny g
And who doesn't enjoy a good travel log A Mallard travelog,
And we have a doozy. So this kind of happened
(04:48):
at the last minute coming to the Super Bowl. I'm
very happy to be here. It's been great, it's been fun.
I hope to do this again next year Danny in
Vegas in sin City, hopefully that will we'll take place.
And so to kind of set the scene here that
the travel arrangements were not made far in advance. I
did not realize up until shortly before I came here
(05:10):
to Arizona that I would be coming. I heard rumors
that it might happen, but you don't know what you
don't know, and you don't know it's gonna happen until
it happened. And so I didn't say anything on the
radio show, and I didn't tweet anything out. And the
reason I didn't is because I was worried it might
not happen. I didn't want the Mallard jinks to be
(05:32):
in effect. I was trying to avoid the Mallard jinks. Yeah,
so there is that. But well, Bennett turns out that
you didn't lie about Yeah, we're gonna interrupt you right now.
And it was just it was just telling a story
about I was in the middle of a story and
what happened. We're gonna get back to your story in
(05:52):
just a moment. Here, you see, we're gonna We're gonna
get miked up here. Let me see we got two
mikes there you go. All right. See you thought I
was I was false advertising. You thought I was full
of crap. I was not. I was not. This is
very important podcast. Well we can turn your mind on here.
This is very important here. We're live on it's a
fifth hour, live on tape here, the fifth Hour with
(06:15):
Ben Maller and Danny g Radio as we hang out
with Scott podcast dojo. Oh, they're bringing up plate. There's
a plate of food. Is that food over there? What
do we have? We've uh, you don't want to eat that? Bai?
What is like chicken? Those are cold? Right? Those are
cold chicken cold? The legend it's like Smith, the all
(06:40):
time leading Russia's son, nice enough to join us. Welcome,
Thank you guys, thank you. Yea a fun week so far,
of course, I mean, I'm with my wingmen right, any
better than that? How many how many of these? How
many of these have you done, by the way at
this point through the week and all that, I mean,
(07:00):
I only did it today. Um, but yeah, maybe around
like what, Yeah, we've been to a couple of so
as your as your old man like schooled you on
the process. He back in the day, he did all
these things forever, so as he taught you like ten
years ago, it's kind of hard to school him on
the process. He's just join the moment now, he's now
he's seeing how all of it comes together when you
(07:21):
when you're in college and so forth, and now you're
around the big game itself officially. Now it's it's becoming
more real. Yeah, I mean I've done my due diligence,
and i mean he's a great mentor. So I've always
watched him since I was the kids. So now what
was it like, because like I've heard stories from like
your dad was like a big time deal, Like did
you like love your dad or did you're like like
(07:42):
did you like other guys because your dad was like
you know you all you knew it was your dad, right,
I mean, yeah, he was my he was my pop.
So like I've never really saw him as you know,
the m smith that you guys see. Yeah, so I've
always had other people that I've always looked at or
even him telling me who to look at, um. And
so with that, I mean, yeah, he's just my pops,
you know, I hear you. That's great. Well, well, it's
(08:04):
great to have you guys on and and and but
I want to ask you now, these athletes today, it's
it's not so much you need well that this generation though,
that's like load management and all that. You know that's
going on and all that, Like, uh, when you you
were playing and one of the reasons you have the
rushing record, you know you played, you kept playing, you
were banged up, you keep going on. What do you
think about this new generation the guys that and it's
(08:28):
not so much in football, but it's coming to football
that are kind of cutting to me. I think it's exactly, um,
what the the game. It's somewhat requiring because of a
lot of the concussion protocol issues that's been been talked about,
and where the probably the a lot of the the
(08:52):
hits are coming from. And so I think it's also
part of the marketing scheme also to devalue certain positions
for whatever reason. Um, And I think most of those
reasons are are related to high scoring games. What's not fun,
it's not fun to see the clock, tik tik tik tik,
take away through the run game. But it's fun to
(09:13):
see the ball in the air, catching the balls and
guys performing in the end zone. That's great, but uh,
you know, it's it has taken away the essence of
what the game, how the game was actually made, and
how the game was meant to be played. In the beginning,
I'm okay with the forward pass, but at the expense
(09:36):
of the game itself, I'm not. Uh. That's why I mean,
dbs don't have a chance right now. Uh, and big
hitters don't have a chance right now. I saw um
a Twitter feed this morning. I believe Ryan Clark knocked
a living breath out of West Walker this morning on
(09:58):
something the way we use to play football that doesn't exist.
That hit right now will get you kicked out of
the world. So so it's different what young running backs
in the league right now? Do you kind of admire?
You see some of yourself and them maybe uh, not many,
because I mean, when I see myself, I'm looking at
(10:19):
a style, uh not necessarily performance wise, how you look
in the uniform, how he moves in uniform, and mark
ingram to me has come become the closest to me. Um,
I can't really see too many other guys in that light. Yeah,
what was the Lebron James this week? Broke the story? Right?
Do you have the rushing record? Do you think that
(10:43):
you think about unbreakable records? The way the games played
these days, do you ever think about somebody breaking your
mark for rushing yards? I don't think about it, But
do you think it will happen? I believe if a
human data before another human can do it again. I
mean this, this is very cyclical right now. That might
be that might be a technology that develops that nobody
(11:03):
can get a concussion and you might be able to
protect bodies a lot better now, and then gods can
just go for it. And if that happens, you never
know what might happen. And so I'm a firm believer
that if a man did it before a man can
do it again, will I be around to see it?
I don't know, But until then I'm gonna stay where
(11:25):
I'm at on top of the very top. Was speaking
of basketball? Is your family have a favorite basketball team?
I mean, we don't really watch basketball. That was ever
bolting growing up? Was it only football? And what other
stuff we're growing up? What's the what's a growing up
with that? In that house? Was it all sports or
(11:45):
were you guys were like, I mean, we could do
whatever we wanted say. I mean he was really open
minded about that. I mean I I played, I played basketball,
I mean I would played golf, played tennis, played soccer, track.
I mean I did everything, and I mean it swim
better than me. The worst punishment you ever got a
(12:06):
little boat when here and there had to yeah, exactly, Uh,
and you guys are here because uh, I see you
said not do not eat the chicken wings. But it's
not about the chicken wings? What is it about. I'm
gonna just saying this as we in pro approached this weekend.
This is a weekend of festivities for a lot of people.
(12:29):
There's gonna be family members coming over, other folks, house,
friends coming over, people house. Super Bowl party is gonna
be a galore, and every Super Bowl part is always
gonna be a mess, some type of mess. Somebody's gonna
have to clean up something, and everybody's gonna have their
pick of food. Wings is gonna be part of it,
Ribs can be part of it, Sauces can be part
(12:51):
of all kinds of things. And wherever there are wings
and sauces is always going to be a mess. And
for us, you cannot play. You cannot have wings without football.
You cannot have football with out wings, and cannot have
wings without bounty. And so bounty is there to help
you clean things up. I mean, who not who's not
trying to eat good and have a good time, but
(13:12):
yet who don't want to clean up? I don't want
to clean up after all that cooking, But if I'm
gonna clean up with something, I want to clean up
with something that's gonna help me get it out the
way fairly quickly and not have things stick to my
hands and enjoy the moment as we're enjoying the game
and watching Rihanna do things. I didn't know what you
guys we're gonna be talking about, but we have bounty.
So I want you to know my house, we have bounties.
(13:35):
You try some of that other stuff that just you wrapping,
steal sticking on the things, and every bounty just cleans
it off. You do not need that. Listen, guys, I
know you gotta go, you gotta go do some more
of this, But thank you for stopping by. Thank you, guys,
appreciate it. Appreciate it, and thank you, and I want
your dad's watch. By the way, hanging out with us,
(13:59):
you're as back, but you weren't lying. That was a
big name, No, the all time leading rusher in the
NFL who just like, I'm I'm in mid stance, I'm
about to tell a story about me staying at a
crappy hotel. And I turned around and there's the all
time leading rusher in NFL history who's sitting down, like
what the hell? And and of course his son was
carrying a thing of wings. Yeah, And because you had
(14:21):
mentioned you were hungry and you were trying to get
some food, so I thought, well, look somebody must have
brought wings for Danny g And I was like, well,
maybe I'll have a wing. I'll break my fast for
with a wing. And I'm like, well, no, I'm not
gonna I'm not gonna break my fast with a wing.
And they were like emmitting his son were like you
probably probably shouldn't do that, but that was that was
(14:41):
kind of cool. That was good to have mmin on.
So now you don't have to wait and see when
I say something. When I say, we're gonna have a
big name. Boom. It happened just like that. And now
I'm gonna because now the next interview they give us,
it's gonna be somebody. I don't know what you're talking about,
but but I do have I actually do have the
the paper towels that he was pitching, so I happen
(15:03):
to have that at my house. Be sure to catch
live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two
a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio
and the I Heart Radio app. So travel Stories. Everyone
loves a good travel story, So I'll pick up where
we left off before we were interrupted by the all
time leaning rusher in the NFL, the great Emmitt Smith
in his son. So traveling here, I didn't know until
(15:25):
kind of before, right before we were coming, I was
I was gonna be here. So the travel was booked
at the last minute, and I flew an airline where
you don't get a reserve seat. Um, it's an airline
that had some major problems back in December. The weather,
it did not go so well for them. Their stock
wanting to toilet. But Tim, fine, I don't, I don't
(15:46):
I've flown that airline before. I have no problem with it. Um.
But we got there and we were in group C,
and I was the next last person getting on the plane,
which guaranteed I had to do the awkward excuse me,
I need that middle seat, which was the next to
last seat that was available. So I had to sit
on the middle seat, which but unfortunately it's a very
(16:07):
short flight from from l A to Phoenix, so it
didn't take that long. But then the next layer, Danny,
we get into the Valley of the Sun and we
take the uber to the hotel. Now again this was
all last minute. There's a massive golf tournament going on
this weekend, the waste management whatever it's called, which I'm
(16:28):
not really familiar with. I kind of goofed on it.
But like if you're a hard old golf fan, this
is like awesome. It's like a big party scene. And
they estimate the uber driver said, there's like two hundred
thousand people that are coming into this area for that. Yeah,
bringing one billion dollars Phoenix. And it's like one of
(16:48):
those things too, because you you go into Arizona and
like a lot of these people, I'm not going to
the super Bowl. You're not going to the super Bowl
because you can't afford it? Are you? Are you from?
I think my man Don Martin back there, he's got
a stack of tickets. Tickets, man, but they're clients and
exactly no. So but like the waste management thing, you
(17:10):
can get in for a few owner bucks or whatever,
so you can go hang out. And I guess the
way they were explaining, they're all drinking. So anyway, a
point of this, all the good hotels were booked. So
I was on the phone with our boss and we
were trying to make travel arrangements. And originally I was
just gonna come by myself. Uh and uh. He had
a couple of options for hotels, and so I picked.
(17:31):
I don't know these hotels, so I picked one of
the hotels, and my wife decides, well, she wanted to
come with me because I we have some family here.
Her brother actually is visiting the Phoenix area just but
he's not a football fan. He just happened to be here.
So my wife's like, well, I want to come and
hang out and whatever. So I was like, well that's great.
You know, I'm gonna be there working most of the time,
but you know, and I didn't even realize we could
kind of let her in a little bit to see
(17:51):
how we do things. Uh, Jonas, Actually I learned from
Jonas the other day that that was an option. I
didn't know that was an option. So so anyway, we
get in the uber. We go to a hotel and
you know, my wife a little bit. She dresses much
better than me. She wears nice clothes, dresses, jackets, jewelry.
So we get out of the uber and we walk
into the hotel and as we are walking in, it's
(18:14):
like the zombie apocalypse. I don't know what kind of
drugs these people are on at this hotel, but that
was the first sign. Boy, this is probably not good.
But maybe he's leaving. Maybe the guy's leaving and he's
not staying there. So we thought, maybe that's that, Uh
a bad part of town. I don't know what a
bad but I've been here a lot over the years,
but it didn't look like the greatest part of town.
But I've been in worse places. So anyway, and I
(18:38):
walk in, there's a guy walking out. He looks like
he's been doing math or whatever. He's been up for
like a week, and so I'm like, oh, this is
not good. So I'm like, we go into the front
of the desk where you gotta get the key and
check in. There's bulletproof glass of the person. Always that's
always a good sign. And for me, Ben, that takes
me back to home, that makes me feel at home. Yeah. Yeah.
(19:00):
Then I'm like, well that's not a good sign. So
now we've got two strikes. Um, then we got the key.
I'm like, well, maybe it's you know, maybe this rooms
are nice. You know, it's nice. You know, it's like
it's tell me they did not have the nineteen seventies
style comforter on that ugly golden kind of color. So
then we keep going. We now have to get in
(19:21):
the elevator to go up to the floor we're staying at.
As we're getting into the elevator, uh, and I feel bad,
but a family with groceries was coming in. They were living,
they were living at the hotel. So it now it's
like a homeless shelter with people doing drugs and bulletproof glass,
and and it's like, oh, boy, did your wife make
(19:41):
you leave and find another hotel? Well it gets better,
So we didn't. I'm like I'm trying. I'm Benny bright Side,
I'm trying to be optimistic, like, oh, it's gonna be okay,
don't worry. Okay, we can make sandwich with that family. Now, remember,
my wife's all dressed up, you know, and I'm dressed
like a radio slob, and she's all dressed up, and
(20:03):
so I fitted I could have stayed there. So we
get to the room. The room looked like it hadn't
been cleaned since the eighties, right, So there's dust, there's
the doors. Had you know that black electrical Yeah, oh
it was terrible. No, it didn't really smell like there
was like cracks in the floor in the bathroom. It
(20:25):
was unbelievable. And so my wife starts freaking out. She's like, well,
what you're going to do the over night show? I'm
gonna be here by myself. You didn't look at the
Yelp or the ratings or anything on this place before
you ordered into national hotel chain? It is it doesn't
I would assume that if it's a national chain that
they would have some you know, like if you're always
(20:47):
should go to Yelp to get the real photos whatever.
I was getting ready for the show, so I find
I gave it. I mean I felt like I was
in Afghanistan or something like that. I mean it was
like a demilitarized zone at this point. And uh and
I just I was like, you know, what reminded me
of like an old school comedy, Like that's the scene
from an old comedy. I was living a movie. Like
(21:08):
I walk in my wife all dolled up, dressed up,
we walk into like I feel like I was in
the Tenderloin district in San Francisco, you know, one of
those places. And uh, so we did end up and
the guy at the hotel this out. This how crappy
a hotel this is? And I'm not gonna rip the
hotel because the guy couldn't have been great. My wife
calls up, she has me call up actually, and we
(21:28):
had just gotten where. We were in the room for
maybe fifteen minutes, and she says, well, I'm you know,
I'm like, I'm giving the guy the story, the sob
story about how we can't stay here and all this stuff,
and the guys the guy's like, Okay, what roomor in
and he's like uh and my my wife she jumps in.
She's like, well, it's not it's not the room. It's
(21:48):
just you know, it's she's she's. The guy was like, total,
apparently this happens all the time, and uh and so
he gave us a full refund and we were out
the door and we went to another hotel and odd, Yeah,
it was pretty it was pretty Nutso, man, on a
scale of one to tend, how much better was the
next hotel? Well, we're gonna talk about that because there's
(22:08):
a funny story about it. We're gonna save that for
the next podcast. There is a funny tale about that
next hotel. The Tales of Travel. You've had a pretty
good week, right, Dady, as far as the travel stuff,
you've you've been here since. But Sunday, you guys got
in the only the only problem we had on the
flight over. We me, Covino and Rich you guys all
(22:29):
flew togainst Spot Yeah, and and j Stu from the
Gottleip Show. We all flew out of Burbank together last
Sunday afternoon. So we board the flight. I won't say
the name of the airlines, but we are you know,
we're in our chairs, we're we're cool. But as soon
(22:50):
as we get up in the sky. The flight attendant
comes on and says, there is probably gonna be some
turbulence and then use the word severe, severe turbulence in fact,
so keep seat belts on. And because of those turbulence,
no drink service, no snacks. I'm surprised to even have
(23:10):
that on such a short flight. Well, you know, on
a flight to Vegas out of l A, you'll you'll
get a little bag of you know, trail mix or
checks mix or whatever, and then they'll just give you
like a cup of soda with ice. They won't give
you the whole can maybe, but they'll pour you a
cup of something. So we kind of expected that, and
we were all hungry because we were in between meal times,
(23:31):
so we're like that snacking a cup of soda is
gonna be great. Well that was out the window because
now we're all scared for our lives because they're using
the words severe. So Cavino's turning pale because I don't
think he's a good flyer, and at least from what
I could see on this flight, and he's like, did
you hear what he said? And he's like shifting in
(23:51):
his his seat, and you know, the guy loved to
hear himself talk. I think because he came on ten
minutes later and said it again, and so now I'm thinking,
oh my god, we're in for the worst turbulence of
our lives. Here was it, Ben. There was not one
bump in the sky on this It was smooth sailing,
(24:17):
no issues, no problems. I swear to god. I think
they did this just so they didn't have to serve
us a drink or snack. But maybe they ran out
of something, Like they ran out of drinks. They're like,
I know what, They'll just say, there's turbulence and that's
how that we won't give out the drinks and all
that stuff. Yeah. I think here's my theory on pilots.
I think at the beginning of every flight, they should say,
this is gonna be the worst flight of your life.
(24:38):
We're lucky if we land, and then you'll feel great,
you'll feel wonderful. You'll be like, this is this is
absolutely outstanding. When I get on the plane, I'm like,
that's out of my hands. If anything happens, you know,
that's it. You know, what are you gonna do? You know,
if that's the worst thing that happened on a flight
then you know it. You can't complain, you know. But
(24:59):
he didn't to use the words severe. It's a bad words.
You're good with words. You're a wordsmith. Occasionally, yes, occasionally.
It's not a great not a great choice. Have you
have you been on a flight with really terrible we have? Yeah,
we've talked about right, And I had drinks and snacks
on that flight. By the way, did you were people
(25:20):
throwing up? I didn't see it. I didn't see any bars.
You didn't see not remember the story. We didn't serve
a full meal. It's not like back in the day
where they'd give everybody a TV dinner. Remember we talked
about that, that story that there was those kids, I
think it was. It was it in Vegas or somewhere.
They got food poison and they were all throwing up
outside the elementary school. And it's just like it's like
(25:40):
a scene out of a horror horror movie or the Bible,
Sodom and Gomorrahs, Like, what is going on here? Brutal? Brutal, brutal.
But we will continue this in a future. The Sunday
edition of the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny
g Now are you gonna read any questions? Is there
gonna be any You know, I did not post because
I figured we'd have a guest, the great EMMITTT. Smith.
(26:02):
I didn't think we have em Att Smith on. I
know we're gonna have another big name, hopefully on the
Sunday Podcast, which we no, no, no, no, antell it's
gonna be massive, which we're we're looking forward to. But
we will. I will have the conclusion because there's more
hotel shenanigans that are taking place, and we do have
some loyal minions who do not wait for me to post,
(26:23):
send questions in for the mail bag, and so we
did have a few people who wrote questions in. So
we'll have some a very small hybrid version of the
Sunday mail Bag on the fifth hour with Ben Maller
and Danny g and anything to promote here, Anything you
would like to promote, Danny, anything you wanna be selling.
Do you have any paper, towels, toilet paper, bottle of
(26:44):
water you would like to promote here? No, but to
be a company man. It is Saturday right now as
you listen to this podcast, and what better way to
prepare for the Super Bowl than to have Fox Sports
Radio on NonStop, in your car, your phone, headphones, wherever
you're going. And I gotta tell that, for years I
did the Super Bowl show with Looney Remember shocked. Every
(27:07):
year we say, no one's listening, everyone's watching the super
Bowl and there are so many people out who are
making food runs or people the living food. We would
give out the phone and we have full phone lines.
We had we were cleared everywhere because just about everywhere
I can't get past. I keep looking at the again.
I'm in a trance state looking at that cube spinning
(27:28):
around here. This is the perfect weekend. That's like in
Brazil they have the Jesus statue atop the mountain. It's
it's unbelievable. It is is amazing. This is the perfect
weekend to use that I heart app and just type
in FS are for Fox Sports Radio and take the
live shows with you. Shouts out to everybody who are
busting their butts, not only tearing down the stage and
(27:51):
everything back in Phoenix getting ready for Sunday, but also
back in Sherman Oaks, California, running the show from behind
the scenes and on the main microphones. Yes, and I
do listen. I feel the agony. Not everyone gets to
go to these things, so it does you know, it sucks.
I wish everyone could go, and I didn't get to
go for a long time, so it's cool. The last
couple of years have been awesome, and hopefully next year
(28:12):
in Vegas also crazy and wild and all that. So
I have a great rest of your day. Remember we'll
have a hybrid mail bag on Sunday. And I don't
think we can trap the or we we can trump
the all time leading rusher in the NFL, but you
never know, we'll find out you're right about that. We
might have the Andy Reid look alike. I would like
(28:32):
to talk to that guy. I gotta get a photo
of that guy, and he's still here. I'm gonna track
that guy down anyway. I have a great rest of
the day with catching next time and see you Austa
