Kutbooms.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
The clearing House of Hot takes break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
In the air a way as we hang out with you.
It's the fifth Hour. You knew that already. Thank you
for following the fifth Hour with me, your pal Bend
and Danny g As we are here all holiday weekend,
no days off, no days off, as we slide in
(00:54):
to the thirtieth day of March year on this Saturday
and celebrating. What did I see it? I saw today
is grass is always browner on the other side of
the fence day, which proves there is a holiday for everything,
a made up holiday for every single thing. If you
(01:18):
will back at it again, Danny, thing's going well for you.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yes, sir, yeah, Vegas, I'm on. Does my headset sound okay?
I stole this headset from our radio road table yesterday
afternoon and I plugged it into my laptop.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
It's like you're in a in the parking lot of
our building. Huh, you just taking that away. Interesting, I
see what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
They told me, don't take it on the airplane.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Oh man, we a lot of we think pretty good stuff.
We think pretty good stuff. You will ultimately be the
judge of whether it's pretty good stuff or not on
this on this podcast. But it's Saturday. It's about the
life and times of myself and Danny and things that
have taken place recently. Stories behind the microphone, things that
(02:01):
happened behind the microphone at Fox Sports Radio, Danny on
with Covino and Rich and hanging out there in Viva
Las Vegas, and you got me from the Overnight show.
So another story. Yesterday we talked about my walk in
the park and I was doing my radio hit in
New Zealand and then all of a sudden there was
(02:22):
a fire. Trace got a weird thing. Fire truck went
vi not weird, it's normal thing, but they did not
expect it and became a big, big point of conversation
on that show. So another story about me wandering around
this is this is a two fold story. So I
called the double Wamy. Danny, I called the double Wamy.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Got a backup. For one second, I couldn't find siren
effects in my library yesterday. I kind of swore you've
done sirens on the podcast before.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah, I'm gonna see you're gonna try to get me
to do a siren and I'm not gonna fall into
your trap. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna fall in
your trap. That's not gonna happen. Maybe tomorrow, but not
not today. So the double whammy thing. So I get up.
I changed my schedule a little bit. I don't go
to bed as late as I used to. I get up.
(03:08):
I try to start my day. Instead of ending my
day with the workout, I try to start my day.
Think's better to sleep and then work out when you
wake up, hit your day start. So I've been doing
this for the last couple of weeks. Who I've been
getting up a little bit earlier than I normally do
and and just try to go out and get alectras.
I usually go to the gym, but a couple of
days this week I decided to go for a walk. Okay,
(03:30):
big deal, who cares? You know what? Happened on one
of the days where I had that incident with the
you know, the the New Zealand people. So another day,
I get up early, I go out and I'm walking
and I really went far, like I went on a
like a a six seven mile walk. I just I
(03:51):
was going for it, and you know, I'm doing my thing.
And there's some some nice trails where I'm at in
the north Woods and some nice places to walk, and
so is out walking around and joined the nice weather,
and I'm walking and walking and people walking by, you know,
some people wave, some people don't wave. And then I
get about two miles in to the walk and I
(04:16):
looked down and I'm like, oh, wait a minute, there's
something something is not right with my wardrobe. And I
was really kind of tired. I really owned I looked groggy,
a little foggy, and I really unsure what was going on.
And it didn't seem like anybody noticed anything. People were
(04:36):
waving or whatever. And then I looked down again and
I had the light bulb go off in my head
that for a two mile walk to the first two
miles of the walk, I had gone. I got up
in a hurry. I put my clothes on. I left
the house and I had put my shirt on inside
(04:57):
out and was walking, uh with the tags hanging out
of my my.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Shirt, the Costco tags.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
It was a little it was a little embarrassing. So
I had to pull off to the side and do
the quick switch over, you know, the quick pretend like
it didn't happen, you know. And then I'd walked by
the same people that I know they noticed. How do
you not notice that somebody's wearing their shirt inside out?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Right, it's not as bad as the fur that was
all over your clothes.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Oh yeah, that was embarrassing. When the Queen's like, oh
you you got a dog cat? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, So
that was embarrassing. So I did that, and then the
I mentioned it was the double whammie, So fine, whatever,
that's minor a big deal. Wear your shirt inside out,
you know who cares? So and after my walk is complete,
(05:51):
I walked for several hours. I get back to the house,
the Malor Mansion, and my my toe on my left foot.
It feels a little like something's going on there, but
I'm not sure what. I was like, well, that's probably nothing,
you know, maybe I'm just imagining things. So I take
my shoes off and then take the socks off. That's
usually what happened. Shoes off, four socks. So I do
(06:13):
all that and then I find whatever. And my number
two toe on my left foot looks like it has
grown a second toe. There is a giant blood blister
the and I don't want to exaggerate, Danny, but it's
(06:34):
the size of North Dakota. I mean, just filled with
goo and puss and blood.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Well, thank you for the visual.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Oh man, I get the biggest blisters and I got
these new socks that it must be my shoes that
are the problem. I must have the shoes. Now, do
you get blisters of the shoes are too small or
if they're too big, what is more likely to give
you blisters?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I'm pretty sure the smaller the shoe, the more friction
it causes.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah, yeah, so that's what I'm thinking too, that my
shoes are too too small.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
That your damn feet are still growing.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
God, it's a blessing and a curse. Big feet.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Yeah you Shaq and KD with some ugly feet.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Shack makes shack makes me look like a nine year
old girl with my my feet next to Shaquille o'neo.
But yeah, yeah, so yeah, I got the double amy.
I enjoyed the walk I got. I felt like I
got a lot of exercise. I felt like I was
accomplished in working out, and I felt pretty good about that.
And then I looked at my toe. I was like,
oh man, that is not that is not good. Now.
(07:39):
The good thing, though, I will say about a blister,
is you just pop that, right, You pop it, and
then you drain it and then you're back there. You're
pretty good, right, You're okay, just put a bandage on it.
You're all right now. Yeah, so I'm gonna have what
I'm gonna have to do.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Is takes left of the skin.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yeah. So I think what I'll do a couple of uh,
like Baz, you know, a couple of bad you know,
take the bath and then take a take a couple
like a couple of days off.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yea from the from Milwaukee, you're like Lebron recently talked
about how his feet were like a twenty three escalade
that have never had new tires, and now it's twenty
twenty four and he has to ask his wife please
rub my tootsies?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Where is she the one that was with Chris. You
were the one with Chris Paul. I've seen Chris Paul's hands.
They're disgusting, uh horrible, Like the finger he's got finger
pointing the wrong direction is It's just terrible. It's it's
like a horror show with him. It's a pathetic. But anyway,
(08:44):
you know, it's really more about you, Danny. I think
you know what it is. It's it's a bit about me.
It's about you, Danny. That's what this is about. This
podcast is really about you. You know.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Just here, Yeah, I've given you some updates on I
was gonna say little baby CoA. He's big baby CoA
right now. You know, this little dude, he's seven months old.
He's almost thirty pounds joined the nice food. My goodness,
he's in the ninetieth percentile of every category. If he
stays on this path, he's gonna be one hundred and
(09:14):
eighty pounds by the time he gets to kindergarten. Nice Yeah,
I mean, talk about a football prodigy in the making.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
The wrecking ball dude.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
This kid, he sits at his high chair. You know
how most kids, he'll get a little bored after being
in their high chair for a little too long and
they want out. He could sit in his high chair
for an hour, no problem, give me more, more food.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
More.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
We taught him how to do the more thing, you know,
by both hands together, like more more yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,
like meet the parents, and the little kid saw the
lady with the big boobs, and he started doing the
more sign. Yeah. He doesn't want a nurse anymore. He
only wants big bottles of goat milk formula, which he
(09:57):
pounds like. He's justin tom at a Rangers game, and
he is eating tons of solids right now. So huge,
big boy. And he's all into toys right now. Man.
I got him a shirt the other day that says
play all day and on the back it's like a
cartoon shark playing with a pile of toys. And that's
(10:18):
really him right now. To babysit him, I just pile
up the toys in front of him. He sits down
on the carpet, but my legs are like supporting him.
So if he wiebele wobbles to either side, he's got
support there. Last Saturday, lazy Saturday afternoon, he's laying back.
We're watching that movie The Little Rascals, because my wife,
(10:40):
Ye was all offended that I've never seen that movie
from nineteen ninety four. You know, hey, you and I
were busy working that year. She's like, I was only nine,
and I'm like, good for you. I was working my
first job for Oh.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
So you're you got the treatment I got from that
punkt at Liberty University.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Yeah, exactly. But you know, at the same time, she's
she's looking at him, sitting down by me playing with
the toys, and she's doing the whole mom thinking like,
oh my god, my heart's melting.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Now.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
That would be enough emotions for a Saturday afternoon for me,
Big Ben. I was raised in a family where you
weren't allowed to cry. Shut the hell up. You're a boy. Boys,
don't cry. Rub some dirt on it. My family was
very much shut the hell up, you're not allowed to whine.
In fact, my grandfather he coined the phrase, quit your
damned winding, Cynthia, get your damned kids out of my garage.
(11:35):
They're winding again.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
That must be a grandfather, Mike. Mike, one of my
grandfathers was the same man. We would raise a ruckus
and he would just shoot us down right.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Ay, dude, there were like all these menly men around
us who fought in wars, and yeah, you know they kick.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
The greatest generation they called it, yeah generation.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Yeah. My uh, my grandfather a former sergeant in the military,
so he was up there in the ranks. With those
kind of people around you. You grow up to not
show a lot of emotions. I couldn't help it in
this case. Thank god, my girl was the only one
around who saw this baby koa he as I've said
on a previous podcast, he says, da da da da.
(12:16):
I even use it as a little drop now in
the podcast. I Aha, doesn't matter if a brother, sister,
siblings holding him. He's yelling about Dada. He wants to
play with a pile of toys. Mom's trying to change them.
He's yelling for dadak because he wants toys. He didn't
want to wipey on his face. Leave me alone. He's
want an air swab or a little baby toothbrush. Get that
(12:37):
crap away from me.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Da da da da.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
But it's just been a signal that he wants to
play right now. He's never actually looked me in the
eyes and spoken to me before until Saturday afternoon. He
has a rubber remote control so that they don't have
to take the one with germs on it and put
that in their mouth. You give this to him to
try to trick them, like, no, no, no, this is
your remote, and it's made out of that real rubber,
(13:02):
so that they can jab that thing in their mouth and.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
The delicious rubber.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yeah, bite their gums on it. Right. So I give
him this blue fake remote. He throws it. He wants
the real one. So while I'm not looking, he grabs
the little firestick remote and puts it right to his mouth.
I grab it away from him. He turns his head
kind of to the side, looks me right in the
eyes and says, dad.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Dah, oh, I'm trying to negotiate.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
This to me. Finally got it. I finally got it
to my mouth, and you're gonna take it away from me. Ben.
I melted like a baby. I mean, all right here,
watch whatever you want, yeah, man, and you want to
eat this remote?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Fine. But he that's the first time now that he's
actually addressed me, you know, And unfortunately he was offended
in this moment. But it was so damn cute that
I see my wife crying and I'm like, oh god,
now I know why parents turned mush around their little kids.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
That's great. Well, Dad, when you kept saying and he
said that, I thought of Bam Bam from the Flinty Yeah, yeah, sure,
he is like Bam Bam. Barney's Barney's kid, right, Barne's kidding.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Yeah, very cool.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
So he's a very social young lad, right. He seems
seems like he's pretty yeahitting up in his high chair
so around everybody.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Yeah, he's got a ton of personality. He's only got
two modes. He's like his mom. He's either super happy
or he's got a super resting babyface. He's either super
happy or super pissed off.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, and we have talked about this in previous episodes
of this podcast. But the key is to have him
watch a lot of football with you and a lot
of sports with you before he gets on the TikTok
and the social media and you know all that. Such.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
He ain't gonna let him go on social media. I'm
gonna be throwing the nerf around with him in the
front yard.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
But you got to get booked and then because otherwise
he'll go off into like zombie mode and it'll be
like the zombie Apocalypse and all that.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I should mention to you. His favorite toys right now.
His uncle gave him this little plush raider football. He
loves that. Great.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
That's awesome though. How how was you know? How's it look?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
He is three and a half years No, I'm kidding, he's.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Just turned thirty five. For finally looked at you.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
He yeah, he's seven and a half months old.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
This is kind of cool. I have a cameo. I'm
not promoting it. I used to promote it, but I'm
like whatever, it's there. If you're on cameo and you
type my name in, it'll come up, and I'd love
to do it. It's not free. It's a little video
tribute thing, and so out of the blue, I had
not got one of these in months, and a guy
(15:54):
who's a fan of the show obviously tracked me down
on cameo and wanted to little little video thing for
his buddies. And I love this because he wanted me
to bust balls. His friends were giving him a hard
time for listening to the show, my show, so he's like, hey,
you gotta set these guys straight. So he gave me
a little intel and we had. We had a good time,
(16:14):
so it was it was cool. I love I love
those kind of things other than you know, Casey casem
with the I'm sick and tired. Yeah, you know, I
got I got an upbeat song. I'm doing a dead
Dog dedication and I got upbeat song. It's it's not right,
it's not right. Ba ba ba ba ba ba Bay
bye Bay. You can light me on fire.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
I was hoping to get a real fire truck from
you this week.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
No, no, no, I'm a professional broadcaster. I can't. That's
amateur that is an amateur hour. I'm a grown up.
I talk about athletes and sticks and balls. That's what
I talk about, Eddie, grown men that play with sticks
and balls.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
How has Lorena been doing on the drops? By the way,
I taught her how to use the racist. Has she
used it?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah? Well, I'm a big fan. As Marcel calls her, Lorraine,
ah puts to the uh at the end of it.
But she's she's been good on the drop. She has
played some old drops, which as your influence, and it
has gotten some compliments on social media, and I just
love that she's generally a positive person, which is good.
(17:23):
I'm not used to that any names, but there's no
MOPI face. You know. She seems genuinely happy.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Yeah, she loves being in radio the same as us.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah, and she does. She seems to really enjoy. We've
got a lot of perks. We've had listeners that have
been really great and spoiled us. In the last couple
of weeks. It just kind of coincided with her getting
the job, you know, with Sam going to to the
day shift in her Kmmitar shift. And we've had a
couple of giant boxes.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
I've seen that where they throw all the mail by
the update door. Sure, and yeah, I've seen boxes that
say I saw one that said for the Miller for
Bill Miller's show, and I was like, that's somebody that's funny.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Yeah, So it's been it's been great. We've got these
big boxes, the little Debbies.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
We had what was in the Vovo box?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Oh, well that was more little debbiees. Somebody was in
a Vovo box. We had dessert from Wisconsin, our guy.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
From Kilster little Debbie Easter treats.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Yeah, with the Eastern lineup for this weekend that came
and then we got some tasty cakes in the mail.
From a guy who's from the Northeast but lives in Florida.
So it's been very, very cool. And it's all because
of that schmucks or scratch off who promised us little
Debbie cakes and then failed to deliver the little Debbie cakes,
and then other people had to step.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Up this wet night in disguise, it did work.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Out in our favor. This guy, Michael from Providence, a
big fan of the show, and he just kept you know,
he's like, hey, I he's our guy. He knows a guy,
and he's our guy. And you gotta know a guy.
Danny the Keta life is known a guy in any
area of life.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Right, especially as we get into into the baseball season here,
we're not going to be able to go to any
Dodger games. Well you are because you know a guy there.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Well, no, I don't anymore. Actually I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I got bumped because of Otani the Dodgers, I did
not say.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
So what they shrunk our media pool?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Uh? Yeah, they And these are people, these are people
I've known for like thirty years that they determined that
we're not important, they don't care about the American media. Yeah,
there you.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Could speak Japanese and you did hit on their radio stations,
but they let you go.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
It was funny because I talked to a buddy of
mine who was actually he got bumped as well. The
Dodgers spit a looge in his face as well. And uh,
he had been doing that longer than I have. And
he's older, much older than I am. And and we
we're talking about you know, I only did if I
spoke Japanese, they would they would roll out the red
carpetfore me. But hey, I get it. They're making their money,
(19:55):
you know. They they feel like they've tapped out I
guess in America how much money they can make. And
they they get all these Japanese media to promote the
Dodgers in Tokyo and all the other places there in Japan,
and they can make their money. But yeah, I don't
know that I'll be at any Dodger games this year.
I might randomly be able to go, but no, it's
it's not like it was.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
It's I used to sneak in through the employee parking lot,
remember on the show. Yeah, yeah, but you can't do
that anymore, even with I used my iHeart badge and
they just let me walk in and as long as
I took a seat that wasn't taken by anybody, the
security was fine with it. But that was you know,
that was what eight nine years ago. You could never
get away with that right now.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
No, No, it's it's a whole it's a whole different ballgame,
which is fine. I've had my time. It's fine if
they it's one of those things. So I'm a big believer.
You gotta dance with the one that brought you, you know,
that kind of thing. And they feel a little different
over there, and you know everyone's getting everyone's getting ten
year contracts, so I guess they're they're doing. Whatever they're
doing is working.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Are they the new Angels? The Angels used to spit
loogi's at you.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Yeah, But here's the funny thing. The Angels loved last
year that Otani was there. They we smoked the peace pipe.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
That's right. I think they knew the writing was on
the wall. They're like, ah, whatever, sick of fighting off
this guy and others. Let them feast on the last
season for sure, for sure.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
So yeah, yeah, I will not be at unless Marlin's
man calls me and says Hey, you want to sit
behind and play with me. I'm like, yeah, sure, whatever,
I'll take the night off time out for the idiom
of the week. Idiom of the week. Hey another request, Danny,
How cool is this back to back belly to belly Damn?
Speaker 3 (21:36):
This one from Shadow Stevens.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
This is from grandma. There's there's a nice reference Grandma
mary Anne from Tennessee rode in. Now, We're not gonna
spend a lot of time this but her idiom ofther
we she wanted to know, let the cat out of
the bag. We've had this one before, so this is
not hard, Danny. She is a but but the grand
when the grandma asked something. You know, when a nice
grandma wants something, you take care of the grandma. You
(22:01):
got to take care of grandma. So Grandma Marianne in
Tennessee wants us to do the cat out of the bag.
And we used this a while back. But it actually
goes back to the Middle Ages and the story and
who knows if it's true or not. The story that
has been passed down from generations is much like today.
There's a certain percentage of human beings. There are schmucks
(22:23):
and a holes and all that, and in the Middle Ages,
the legend is a long long time ago and a
land far far away, there were some shady livestock people
at the marketplace, the medieval marketplace, who were trying to
swindle people looking to buy livestock. And people would purchase
(22:45):
a pig and the vendor, maybe they'd buy a couple
of pigs, but the vendor would sneak a cat in
the bag as well, or a couple of cats, cheating
the person out of the pig, which was worth more money.
And and what would typically happens, the person would not
(23:05):
find out about that until they got home and and
literally let the cat out of a bag and realized
they had been ripped off. And of course by then
the medieval marketplace had closed up and they were moving
on to the next city, and and that was it.
Now there's some people think that story is bullshit, that
that's not actually how how it happened. But I I
(23:27):
think some version of that, maybe not exactly the way
that story's been passed down, actually happened. And it's similar
the same thing about spilling the beans. It's a similar
concept that it also goes back to ancient times and
all that the spill the beans and whatnot. So anyway,
(23:47):
this week, thank you to Grandma Marianne. The idiom of
the week. Left the cat out of the bag, the
old switcheroo at the evil marketplace. There you go, time
out for let's go to pop goes the culture, Pop
goes the culture? All right, John, John, all Rightah, we
(24:24):
love Ohio Al He's our man. So this video went viral.
I'm guessing you guys talked about this on Covino and
Vich Rampaging monkeys a gang of monkeys terrorizing tourists in
a Thai town and cops had to arm themselves with
sling shots and tranquilizer guns because there were literally hundreds
(24:48):
of primates running amok harassing people in this town. And
the video on this is just outstanding.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Adults us to to take our slingshots away from us
when we were kids, remember.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yeah, oh yeah, you take an eye out.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, that skill would have came in so handy.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yeah. Or you can get like a big flamethrower I've heard,
and just shoot the fire out and just knock yourself out,
Just knock your knock your socks out with the flamethrower
and have a fine fine time. What else do we have? Uh, well,
they had the big auction, big Hollywood prop auction took
(25:29):
place this week and it's been going on here. The
Titanic door raft, the Jones whip sold for big money.
But I did read the the red satin thong from
the Full Monty did not did not excite the people.
They were not interested in the Full Monty.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
How about Genie satin nightgown?
Speaker 1 (25:54):
I'm a doctor. I have a satin nightgown on this auction.
The millions and millions from Hollywood props and all that,
and they it was funny, though. The one thing that
stood out that nobody wanted was the red song from
that guy. That movie's twenty seven years old, though, Holy crap.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
You know what, though, you'd have to be a big
time nerd of a movie or you know, a show
or something like that. If you want a collectible that
costs thousands of dollars, Really, what are you going to
do with it besides let it collect dust? Is it
just a conversation piece? Are you going to show it off?
When people look at my whip from the Innah Jones movie.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
That's the original whip from Temple of.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Dool hold it. This is the Really there's DNA on
it from Harrison Ford. What a big nerd you'd have
to be.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Well, there's a lot of people that love this stuff.
And Toby McGuire's Spider Man suit was also old.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Now that's cool because you could go fight crime on
the weekends.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
If you're exactly the same height as Toby McGuire, you
could you could do that. Does it come with the web?
You think it includes the web?
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Well they have the web little machines for kids that
shoot out that web stuff. That would have amazed me
as a six year old because we used to tie
jump ropes around our wrist with our Spider Man mask
and throw the whip with it tied on our wrist.
That was our web back in Holden days.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Yeah, well we're old school. Here's another odd thing, the
axe from the Shining. You see that movie with the
Shining that also sold for the same price as the
Spider Man suit. How is the axe from the Shining
worth the same as a freaking Spider Man That messes
up my spidy like senses. I don't know what that's
(27:40):
all about. How dare you? I saw Bill Murray's bowling
ball from Kingpin sold for a few hundred thousand dollars.
They say that that means it is the world's most
valuable bowling ball. That Bill Murray's bowling ball from Kingpin
the most valuable bowling ball in the world. So who
(28:04):
you think you are?
Speaker 3 (28:05):
I am.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
We should have a Fox Sports Radio auction. We should
do that. We should we put together like this is
a this a pend that j Moore used. There's a
coffee cup that Pat O'Brien, we've.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Talked about Casey Kase this week. We have the countdown
plaque with his name.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Yeah, you can do that. We got the you know,
all the all the greats that worked there, Bob Golick
back in the day, worked at our place, the great
the Bob Golick.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Yeah, we could sell your watch that.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Pulled out a plastic bag of roll exus. You are one,
Ben sure, no problem, Thank you, Pat, I appreciate that. Yeah.
Stephen A. Smith when he worked at our plays like
Stephen A left photos of himself in there, so you
can get one of those photos of Steven A.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Oh and as far as the Mallard Militia goes, we
still have some of Jeanie's ashes left.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Oh that isn't funny. Oh well, that's very valuable. Absolutely, well,
she didn't need them because you know, she's on a
run away. But we have the bench. We traded the bench.
We have the bench there, so we're good in that
in that department.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
What else do we have On the top of her
ashes you could smoke him. There was so much dicotine
in her system, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
And other things and and other things. I see. Oh
that story out of New York. I don't know that.
You guys talked about this. It's so ridiculous. They they've agreed,
the politicians to up the price during the day inbound
to Lower Manhattan fifteen dollars toll to enter Lower Manhattan has.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Been Oh yeah, yeah, Rich was talking about this.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Fifteen dollars.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
What a rip, what a scam. And it's not worth
it to have your own car there. It's not worth it.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Now.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
My brother lives in the village near the village there
near NYU and Manhattan, and he does have a car.
I wonder if he's gonna get rid of it though,
I'll have to know.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Did they give you a price break if you buy
like a yearly toll card or whatever.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
No, I didn't see that, but I did see this
is convenient all the government workers because there's the New
York like the Mayor's office and all that's in Lower Manhattan.
All the political big shots are in Lower Manhattan. And
so they're like, well, the political people will not have
to pay the fifteen dollars. They'll they'll be good. So
but that's a lot of people. Actually, that's a large
(30:25):
group of people that will not have to pay the
fifteen bucks. So anyway, that's that's annoying. I hate the
whole the whole thing. They never go down, they only
go off. Yep, it's so ridiculous. Imagine what it's going
to be in twenty years. If it's fifteen dollars, now,
imagine where we're going to be twenty years from now,
(30:45):
and how that's that's gonna go.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
My goodness, like the Dodger dog Weeni's they ain't never
gonna come back down to five dollars.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Oh, no, forget about that. I saw this week Pete Vessi,
the old NBA inside of the original WOJ Pete Vessie
and he's still doing stuff on social media.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
He's retired on inside the NBA on NBC with.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
The John tesh yea, the great John tesh music VESSI
sent out this thing that the it was from the
I don't even know he sent it out or he
responded to it, but was from the Washington Bullets in
the nineteen eighties, and they had a promotion, you know,
B Free Night or whatever like, well, you know, buy
a ticket and get a ticket for free. If the
(31:32):
Washington Bullets such an offensive name, uh, and that, by
the way, that did stop gun violence. They changed the
name because they thought that was inspiring gun violence in DC.
No one's ever gotten shot in DC since they got
rid of the Bullets nickname. So that was a good
decision by the people that owned the Bullets. Were much safer,
were a much safer society since that. So the Bullets
(31:54):
were playing the San Diego Clippers who had Lloyd Free
better known as World B Free, and the promotion was
by a seven, one fifty or four fifty ticket four
dollars and fifty cents. And if the Bullets hold World
Be Free under his season average, you'll get to redeem
your ticket stuff to get another ticket for free to
a future game. And it was just crazy ticket for
(32:15):
seven to fifty wow to an NBA game, and they
were they were trying to get you to come in there,
and they had they had deals for kids, you know,
go free basketball cards.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Yeah. It's like the time I saw Dominique Wilkins play
at the LA Sports Arena against your Clippers.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Uh huh. Take played for the Clippers too.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yeah, when he was on the Hawks. You know what
the sports arena was good for back then to see
the star of the other team that was in town.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Well they used to advertise, Yeah, to promote the star
of the other team. That was their big their big deal. Yeah,
the sports Arena was I have fun memories. It's gone.
They tore there's a soccer stadium there now, Yeah, sure
where it used to be. Uh LAFC Is that the
team that plays there?
Speaker 3 (32:56):
I think so?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Was it?
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Like it's some initials like BMP or something.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
LA FC plays there. Are my guy, Dave Denholm, who
I worked with early on in my career. I think
he's the play by play guy, I think for that team.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
I don't know a BMO stadium I knew it had.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Boy, Yes, everyone's got bo If you don't shower, eam
all right, we'll get out on that and a big
old mail bag, big big, big big mail bag tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (33:27):

Actually be an Elite eight sized mail bag, because we'll
be down to the Elita by tomorrow evening. We'll be
down to the ELITEA eighty. We have a wonderful rest
of your Saturdays, Saturday Saturday, and we will catch you

Speaker 3 (33:50):
Skater My Felicious
Kutbooms.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
The clearing House of Hot takes break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
In the air a way as we hang out with you.
It's the fifth Hour. You knew that already. Thank you
for following the fifth Hour with me, your pal Bend
and Danny g As we are here all holiday weekend,
no days off, no days off, as we slide in
(00:54):
to the thirtieth day of March year on this Saturday
and celebrating. What did I see it? I saw today
is grass is always browner on the other side of
the fence day, which proves there is a holiday for everything,
a made up holiday for every single thing. If you
(01:18):
will back at it again, Danny, thing's going well for you.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yes, sir, yeah, Vegas, I'm on. Does my headset sound okay?
I stole this headset from our radio road table yesterday
afternoon and I plugged it into my laptop.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
It's like you're in a in the parking lot of
our building. Huh, you just taking that away. Interesting, I
see what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
They told me, don't take it on the airplane.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Oh man, we a lot of we think pretty good stuff.
We think pretty good stuff. You will ultimately be the
judge of whether it's pretty good stuff or not on
this on this podcast. But it's Saturday. It's about the
life and times of myself and Danny and things that
have taken place recently. Stories behind the microphone, things that
(02:01):
happened behind the microphone at Fox Sports Radio, Danny on
with Covino and Rich and hanging out there in Viva
Las Vegas, and you got me from the Overnight show.
So another story. Yesterday we talked about my walk in
the park and I was doing my radio hit in
New Zealand and then all of a sudden there was
(02:22):
a fire. Trace got a weird thing. Fire truck went
vi not weird, it's normal thing, but they did not
expect it and became a big, big point of conversation
on that show. So another story about me wandering around
this is this is a two fold story. So I
called the double Wamy. Danny, I called the double Wamy.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Got a backup. For one second, I couldn't find siren
effects in my library yesterday. I kind of swore you've
done sirens on the podcast before.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah, I'm gonna see you're gonna try to get me
to do a siren and I'm not gonna fall into
your trap. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna fall in
your trap. That's not gonna happen. Maybe tomorrow, but not
not today. So the double whammy thing. So I get up.
I changed my schedule a little bit. I don't go
to bed as late as I used to. I get up.
(03:08):
I try to start my day. Instead of ending my
day with the workout, I try to start my day.
Think's better to sleep and then work out when you
wake up, hit your day start. So I've been doing
this for the last couple of weeks. Who I've been
getting up a little bit earlier than I normally do
and and just try to go out and get alectras.
I usually go to the gym, but a couple of
days this week I decided to go for a walk. Okay,
(03:30):
big deal, who cares? You know what? Happened on one
of the days where I had that incident with the
you know, the the New Zealand people. So another day,
I get up early, I go out and I'm walking
and I really went far, like I went on a
like a a six seven mile walk. I just I
(03:51):
was going for it, and you know, I'm doing my thing.
And there's some some nice trails where I'm at in
the north Woods and some nice places to walk, and
so is out walking around and joined the nice weather,
and I'm walking and walking and people walking by, you know,
some people wave, some people don't wave. And then I
get about two miles in to the walk and I
(04:16):
looked down and I'm like, oh, wait a minute, there's
something something is not right with my wardrobe. And I
was really kind of tired. I really owned I looked groggy,
a little foggy, and I really unsure what was going on.
And it didn't seem like anybody noticed anything. People were
(04:36):
waving or whatever. And then I looked down again and
I had the light bulb go off in my head
that for a two mile walk to the first two
miles of the walk, I had gone. I got up
in a hurry. I put my clothes on. I left
the house and I had put my shirt on inside
(04:57):
out and was walking, uh with the tags hanging out
of my my.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Shirt, the Costco tags.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
It was a little it was a little embarrassing. So
I had to pull off to the side and do
the quick switch over, you know, the quick pretend like
it didn't happen, you know. And then I'd walked by
the same people that I know they noticed. How do
you not notice that somebody's wearing their shirt inside out?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Right, it's not as bad as the fur that was
all over your clothes.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Oh yeah, that was embarrassing. When the Queen's like, oh
you you got a dog cat? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, So
that was embarrassing. So I did that, and then the
I mentioned it was the double whammie, So fine, whatever,
that's minor a big deal. Wear your shirt inside out,
you know who cares? So and after my walk is complete,
(05:51):
I walked for several hours. I get back to the house,
the Malor Mansion, and my my toe on my left foot.
It feels a little like something's going on there, but
I'm not sure what. I was like, well, that's probably nothing,
you know, maybe I'm just imagining things. So I take
my shoes off and then take the socks off. That's
usually what happened. Shoes off, four socks. So I do
(06:13):
all that and then I find whatever. And my number
two toe on my left foot looks like it has
grown a second toe. There is a giant blood blister
the and I don't want to exaggerate, Danny, but it's
(06:34):
the size of North Dakota. I mean, just filled with
goo and puss and blood.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Well, thank you for the visual.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Oh man, I get the biggest blisters and I got
these new socks that it must be my shoes that
are the problem. I must have the shoes. Now, do
you get blisters of the shoes are too small or
if they're too big, what is more likely to give
you blisters?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I'm pretty sure the smaller the shoe, the more friction
it causes.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah, yeah, so that's what I'm thinking too, that my
shoes are too too small.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
That your damn feet are still growing.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
God, it's a blessing and a curse. Big feet.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Yeah you Shaq and KD with some ugly feet.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Shack makes shack makes me look like a nine year
old girl with my my feet next to Shaquille o'neo.
But yeah, yeah, so yeah, I got the double amy.
I enjoyed the walk I got. I felt like I
got a lot of exercise. I felt like I was
accomplished in working out, and I felt pretty good about that.
And then I looked at my toe. I was like,
oh man, that is not that is not good. Now.
(07:39):
The good thing, though, I will say about a blister,
is you just pop that, right, You pop it, and
then you drain it and then you're back there. You're
pretty good, right, You're okay, just put a bandage on it.
You're all right now. Yeah, so I'm gonna have what
I'm gonna have to do.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Is takes left of the skin.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yeah. So I think what I'll do a couple of uh,
like Baz, you know, a couple of bad you know,
take the bath and then take a take a couple
like a couple of days off.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yea from the from Milwaukee, you're like Lebron recently talked
about how his feet were like a twenty three escalade
that have never had new tires, and now it's twenty
twenty four and he has to ask his wife please
rub my tootsies?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Where is she the one that was with Chris. You
were the one with Chris Paul. I've seen Chris Paul's hands.
They're disgusting, uh horrible, Like the finger he's got finger
pointing the wrong direction is It's just terrible. It's it's
like a horror show with him. It's a pathetic. But anyway,
(08:44):
you know, it's really more about you, Danny. I think
you know what it is. It's it's a bit about me.
It's about you, Danny. That's what this is about. This
podcast is really about you. You know.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Just here, Yeah, I've given you some updates on I
was gonna say little baby CoA. He's big baby CoA
right now. You know, this little dude, he's seven months old.
He's almost thirty pounds joined the nice food. My goodness,
he's in the ninetieth percentile of every category. If he
stays on this path, he's gonna be one hundred and
(09:14):
eighty pounds by the time he gets to kindergarten. Nice Yeah,
I mean, talk about a football prodigy in the making.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
The wrecking ball dude.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
This kid, he sits at his high chair. You know
how most kids, he'll get a little bored after being
in their high chair for a little too long and
they want out. He could sit in his high chair
for an hour, no problem, give me more, more food.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
More.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
We taught him how to do the more thing, you know,
by both hands together, like more more yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,
like meet the parents, and the little kid saw the
lady with the big boobs, and he started doing the
more sign. Yeah. He doesn't want a nurse anymore. He
only wants big bottles of goat milk formula, which he
(09:57):
pounds like. He's justin tom at a Rangers game, and
he is eating tons of solids right now. So huge,
big boy. And he's all into toys right now. Man.
I got him a shirt the other day that says
play all day and on the back it's like a
cartoon shark playing with a pile of toys. And that's
(10:18):
really him right now. To babysit him, I just pile
up the toys in front of him. He sits down
on the carpet, but my legs are like supporting him.
So if he wiebele wobbles to either side, he's got
support there. Last Saturday, lazy Saturday afternoon, he's laying back.
We're watching that movie The Little Rascals, because my wife,
(10:40):
Ye was all offended that I've never seen that movie
from nineteen ninety four. You know, hey, you and I
were busy working that year. She's like, I was only nine,
and I'm like, good for you. I was working my
first job for Oh.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
So you're you got the treatment I got from that
punkt at Liberty University.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Yeah, exactly. But you know, at the same time, she's
she's looking at him, sitting down by me playing with
the toys, and she's doing the whole mom thinking like,
oh my god, my heart's melting.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Now.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
That would be enough emotions for a Saturday afternoon for me,
Big Ben. I was raised in a family where you
weren't allowed to cry. Shut the hell up. You're a boy. Boys,
don't cry. Rub some dirt on it. My family was
very much shut the hell up, you're not allowed to whine.
In fact, my grandfather he coined the phrase, quit your
damned winding, Cynthia, get your damned kids out of my garage.
(11:35):
They're winding again.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
That must be a grandfather, Mike. Mike, one of my
grandfathers was the same man. We would raise a ruckus
and he would just shoot us down right.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Ay, dude, there were like all these menly men around
us who fought in wars, and yeah, you know they kick.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
The greatest generation they called it, yeah generation.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Yeah. My uh, my grandfather a former sergeant in the military,
so he was up there in the ranks. With those
kind of people around you. You grow up to not
show a lot of emotions. I couldn't help it in
this case. Thank god, my girl was the only one
around who saw this baby koa he as I've said
on a previous podcast, he says, da da da da.
(12:16):
I even use it as a little drop now in
the podcast. I Aha, doesn't matter if a brother, sister,
siblings holding him. He's yelling about Dada. He wants to
play with a pile of toys. Mom's trying to change them.
He's yelling for dadak because he wants toys. He didn't
want to wipey on his face. Leave me alone. He's
want an air swab or a little baby toothbrush. Get that
(12:37):
crap away from me.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Da da da da.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
But it's just been a signal that he wants to
play right now. He's never actually looked me in the
eyes and spoken to me before until Saturday afternoon. He
has a rubber remote control so that they don't have
to take the one with germs on it and put
that in their mouth. You give this to him to
try to trick them, like, no, no, no, this is
your remote, and it's made out of that real rubber,
(13:02):
so that they can jab that thing in their mouth and.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
The delicious rubber.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yeah, bite their gums on it. Right. So I give
him this blue fake remote. He throws it. He wants
the real one. So while I'm not looking, he grabs
the little firestick remote and puts it right to his mouth.
I grab it away from him. He turns his head
kind of to the side, looks me right in the
eyes and says, dad.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Dah, oh, I'm trying to negotiate.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
This to me. Finally got it. I finally got it
to my mouth, and you're gonna take it away from me. Ben.
I melted like a baby. I mean, all right here,
watch whatever you want, yeah, man, and you want to
eat this remote?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Fine. But he that's the first time now that he's
actually addressed me, you know, And unfortunately he was offended
in this moment. But it was so damn cute that
I see my wife crying and I'm like, oh god,
now I know why parents turned mush around their little kids.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
That's great. Well, Dad, when you kept saying and he
said that, I thought of Bam Bam from the Flinty Yeah, yeah, sure,
he is like Bam Bam. Barney's Barney's kid, right, Barne's kidding.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Yeah, very cool.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
So he's a very social young lad, right. He seems
seems like he's pretty yeahitting up in his high chair
so around everybody.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Yeah, he's got a ton of personality. He's only got
two modes. He's like his mom. He's either super happy
or he's got a super resting babyface. He's either super
happy or super pissed off.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, and we have talked about this in previous episodes
of this podcast. But the key is to have him
watch a lot of football with you and a lot
of sports with you before he gets on the TikTok
and the social media and you know all that. Such.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
He ain't gonna let him go on social media. I'm
gonna be throwing the nerf around with him in the
front yard.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
But you got to get booked and then because otherwise
he'll go off into like zombie mode and it'll be
like the zombie Apocalypse and all that.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I should mention to you. His favorite toys right now.
His uncle gave him this little plush raider football. He
loves that. Great.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
That's awesome though. How how was you know? How's it look?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
He is three and a half years No, I'm kidding, he's.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Just turned thirty five. For finally looked at you.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
He yeah, he's seven and a half months old.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
This is kind of cool. I have a cameo. I'm
not promoting it. I used to promote it, but I'm
like whatever, it's there. If you're on cameo and you
type my name in, it'll come up, and I'd love
to do it. It's not free. It's a little video
tribute thing, and so out of the blue, I had
not got one of these in months, and a guy
(15:54):
who's a fan of the show obviously tracked me down
on cameo and wanted to little little video thing for
his buddies. And I love this because he wanted me
to bust balls. His friends were giving him a hard
time for listening to the show, my show, so he's like, hey,
you gotta set these guys straight. So he gave me
a little intel and we had. We had a good time,
(16:14):
so it was it was cool. I love I love
those kind of things other than you know, Casey casem
with the I'm sick and tired. Yeah, you know, I
got I got an upbeat song. I'm doing a dead
Dog dedication and I got upbeat song. It's it's not right,
it's not right. Ba ba ba ba ba ba Bay
bye Bay. You can light me on fire.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
I was hoping to get a real fire truck from
you this week.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
No, no, no, I'm a professional broadcaster. I can't. That's
amateur that is an amateur hour. I'm a grown up.
I talk about athletes and sticks and balls. That's what
I talk about, Eddie, grown men that play with sticks
and balls.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
How has Lorena been doing on the drops? By the way,
I taught her how to use the racist. Has she
used it?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah? Well, I'm a big fan. As Marcel calls her, Lorraine,
ah puts to the uh at the end of it.
But she's she's been good on the drop. She has
played some old drops, which as your influence, and it
has gotten some compliments on social media, and I just
love that she's generally a positive person, which is good.
(17:23):
I'm not used to that any names, but there's no
MOPI face. You know. She seems genuinely happy.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Yeah, she loves being in radio the same as us.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah, and she does. She seems to really enjoy. We've
got a lot of perks. We've had listeners that have
been really great and spoiled us. In the last couple
of weeks. It just kind of coincided with her getting
the job, you know, with Sam going to to the
day shift in her Kmmitar shift. And we've had a
couple of giant boxes.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
I've seen that where they throw all the mail by
the update door. Sure, and yeah, I've seen boxes that
say I saw one that said for the Miller for
Bill Miller's show, and I was like, that's somebody that's funny.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Yeah, So it's been it's been great. We've got these
big boxes, the little Debbies.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
We had what was in the Vovo box?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Oh, well that was more little debbiees. Somebody was in
a Vovo box. We had dessert from Wisconsin, our guy.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
From Kilster little Debbie Easter treats.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Yeah, with the Eastern lineup for this weekend that came
and then we got some tasty cakes in the mail.
From a guy who's from the Northeast but lives in Florida.
So it's been very, very cool. And it's all because
of that schmucks or scratch off who promised us little
Debbie cakes and then failed to deliver the little Debbie cakes,
and then other people had to step.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Up this wet night in disguise, it did work.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Out in our favor. This guy, Michael from Providence, a
big fan of the show, and he just kept you know,
he's like, hey, I he's our guy. He knows a guy,
and he's our guy. And you gotta know a guy.
Danny the Keta life is known a guy in any
area of life.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Right, especially as we get into into the baseball season here,
we're not going to be able to go to any
Dodger games. Well you are because you know a guy there.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Well, no, I don't anymore. Actually I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I got bumped because of Otani the Dodgers, I did
not say.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
So what they shrunk our media pool?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Uh? Yeah, they And these are people, these are people
I've known for like thirty years that they determined that
we're not important, they don't care about the American media. Yeah,
there you.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Could speak Japanese and you did hit on their radio stations,
but they let you go.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
It was funny because I talked to a buddy of
mine who was actually he got bumped as well. The
Dodgers spit a looge in his face as well. And uh,
he had been doing that longer than I have. And
he's older, much older than I am. And and we
we're talking about you know, I only did if I
spoke Japanese, they would they would roll out the red
carpetfore me. But hey, I get it. They're making their money,
(19:55):
you know. They they feel like they've tapped out I
guess in America how much money they can make. And
they they get all these Japanese media to promote the
Dodgers in Tokyo and all the other places there in Japan,
and they can make their money. But yeah, I don't
know that I'll be at any Dodger games this year.
I might randomly be able to go, but no, it's
it's not like it was.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
It's I used to sneak in through the employee parking lot,
remember on the show. Yeah, yeah, but you can't do
that anymore, even with I used my iHeart badge and
they just let me walk in and as long as
I took a seat that wasn't taken by anybody, the
security was fine with it. But that was you know,
that was what eight nine years ago. You could never
get away with that right now.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
No, No, it's it's a whole it's a whole different ballgame,
which is fine. I've had my time. It's fine if
they it's one of those things. So I'm a big believer.
You gotta dance with the one that brought you, you know,
that kind of thing. And they feel a little different
over there, and you know everyone's getting everyone's getting ten
year contracts, so I guess they're they're doing. Whatever they're
doing is working.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Are they the new Angels? The Angels used to spit
loogi's at you.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Yeah, But here's the funny thing. The Angels loved last
year that Otani was there. They we smoked the peace pipe.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
That's right. I think they knew the writing was on
the wall. They're like, ah, whatever, sick of fighting off
this guy and others. Let them feast on the last
season for sure, for sure.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
So yeah, yeah, I will not be at unless Marlin's
man calls me and says Hey, you want to sit
behind and play with me. I'm like, yeah, sure, whatever,
I'll take the night off time out for the idiom
of the week. Idiom of the week. Hey another request, Danny,
How cool is this back to back belly to belly Damn?
Speaker 3 (21:36):
This one from Shadow Stevens.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
This is from grandma. There's there's a nice reference Grandma
mary Anne from Tennessee rode in. Now, We're not gonna
spend a lot of time this but her idiom ofther
we she wanted to know, let the cat out of
the bag. We've had this one before, so this is
not hard, Danny. She is a but but the grand
when the grandma asked something. You know, when a nice
grandma wants something, you take care of the grandma. You
(22:01):
got to take care of grandma. So Grandma Marianne in
Tennessee wants us to do the cat out of the bag.
And we used this a while back. But it actually
goes back to the Middle Ages and the story and
who knows if it's true or not. The story that
has been passed down from generations is much like today.
There's a certain percentage of human beings. There are schmucks
(22:23):
and a holes and all that, and in the Middle Ages,
the legend is a long long time ago and a
land far far away, there were some shady livestock people
at the marketplace, the medieval marketplace, who were trying to
swindle people looking to buy livestock. And people would purchase
(22:45):
a pig and the vendor, maybe they'd buy a couple
of pigs, but the vendor would sneak a cat in
the bag as well, or a couple of cats, cheating
the person out of the pig, which was worth more money.
And and what would typically happens, the person would not
(23:05):
find out about that until they got home and and
literally let the cat out of a bag and realized
they had been ripped off. And of course by then
the medieval marketplace had closed up and they were moving
on to the next city, and and that was it.
Now there's some people think that story is bullshit, that
that's not actually how how it happened. But I I
(23:27):
think some version of that, maybe not exactly the way
that story's been passed down, actually happened. And it's similar
the same thing about spilling the beans. It's a similar
concept that it also goes back to ancient times and
all that the spill the beans and whatnot. So anyway,
(23:47):
this week, thank you to Grandma Marianne. The idiom of
the week. Left the cat out of the bag, the
old switcheroo at the evil marketplace. There you go, time
out for let's go to pop goes the culture, Pop
goes the culture? All right, John, John, all Rightah, we
(24:24):
love Ohio Al He's our man. So this video went viral.
I'm guessing you guys talked about this on Covino and
Vich Rampaging monkeys a gang of monkeys terrorizing tourists in
a Thai town and cops had to arm themselves with
sling shots and tranquilizer guns because there were literally hundreds
(24:48):
of primates running amok harassing people in this town. And
the video on this is just outstanding.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Adults us to to take our slingshots away from us
when we were kids, remember.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yeah, oh yeah, you take an eye out.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, that skill would have came in so handy.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yeah. Or you can get like a big flamethrower I've heard,
and just shoot the fire out and just knock yourself out,
Just knock your knock your socks out with the flamethrower
and have a fine fine time. What else do we have? Uh, well,
they had the big auction, big Hollywood prop auction took
(25:29):
place this week and it's been going on here. The
Titanic door raft, the Jones whip sold for big money.
But I did read the the red satin thong from
the Full Monty did not did not excite the people.
They were not interested in the Full Monty.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
How about Genie satin nightgown?
Speaker 1 (25:54):
I'm a doctor. I have a satin nightgown on this auction.
The millions and millions from Hollywood props and all that,
and they it was funny, though. The one thing that
stood out that nobody wanted was the red song from
that guy. That movie's twenty seven years old, though, Holy crap.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
You know what, though, you'd have to be a big
time nerd of a movie or you know, a show
or something like that. If you want a collectible that
costs thousands of dollars, Really, what are you going to
do with it besides let it collect dust? Is it
just a conversation piece? Are you going to show it off?
When people look at my whip from the Innah Jones movie.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
That's the original whip from Temple of.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Dool hold it. This is the Really there's DNA on
it from Harrison Ford. What a big nerd you'd have
to be.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Well, there's a lot of people that love this stuff.
And Toby McGuire's Spider Man suit was also old.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Now that's cool because you could go fight crime on
the weekends.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
If you're exactly the same height as Toby McGuire, you
could you could do that. Does it come with the web?
You think it includes the web?
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Well they have the web little machines for kids that
shoot out that web stuff. That would have amazed me
as a six year old because we used to tie
jump ropes around our wrist with our Spider Man mask
and throw the whip with it tied on our wrist.
That was our web back in Holden days.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Yeah, well we're old school. Here's another odd thing, the
axe from the Shining. You see that movie with the
Shining that also sold for the same price as the
Spider Man suit. How is the axe from the Shining
worth the same as a freaking Spider Man That messes
up my spidy like senses. I don't know what that's
(27:40):
all about. How dare you? I saw Bill Murray's bowling
ball from Kingpin sold for a few hundred thousand dollars.
They say that that means it is the world's most
valuable bowling ball. That Bill Murray's bowling ball from Kingpin
the most valuable bowling ball in the world. So who
(28:04):
you think you are?
Speaker 3 (28:05):
I am.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
We should have a Fox Sports Radio auction. We should
do that. We should we put together like this is
a this a pend that j Moore used. There's a
coffee cup that Pat O'Brien, we've.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Talked about Casey Kase this week. We have the countdown
plaque with his name.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Yeah, you can do that. We got the you know,
all the all the greats that worked there, Bob Golick
back in the day, worked at our place, the great
the Bob Golick.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Yeah, we could sell your watch that.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Pulled out a plastic bag of roll exus. You are one,
Ben sure, no problem, Thank you, Pat, I appreciate that. Yeah.
Stephen A. Smith when he worked at our plays like
Stephen A left photos of himself in there, so you
can get one of those photos of Steven A.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Oh and as far as the Mallard Militia goes, we
still have some of Jeanie's ashes left.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Oh that isn't funny. Oh well, that's very valuable. Absolutely, well,
she didn't need them because you know, she's on a
run away. But we have the bench. We traded the bench.
We have the bench there, so we're good in that
in that department.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
What else do we have On the top of her
ashes you could smoke him. There was so much dicotine
in her system, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
And other things and and other things. I see. Oh
that story out of New York. I don't know that.
You guys talked about this. It's so ridiculous. They they've agreed,
the politicians to up the price during the day inbound
to Lower Manhattan fifteen dollars toll to enter Lower Manhattan has.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Been Oh yeah, yeah, Rich was talking about this.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Fifteen dollars.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
What a rip, what a scam. And it's not worth
it to have your own car there. It's not worth it.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Now.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
My brother lives in the village near the village there
near NYU and Manhattan, and he does have a car.
I wonder if he's gonna get rid of it though,
I'll have to know.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Did they give you a price break if you buy
like a yearly toll card or whatever.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
No, I didn't see that, but I did see this
is convenient all the government workers because there's the New
York like the Mayor's office and all that's in Lower Manhattan.
All the political big shots are in Lower Manhattan. And
so they're like, well, the political people will not have
to pay the fifteen dollars. They'll they'll be good. So
but that's a lot of people. Actually, that's a large
(30:25):
group of people that will not have to pay the
fifteen bucks. So anyway, that's that's annoying. I hate the
whole the whole thing. They never go down, they only
go off. Yep, it's so ridiculous. Imagine what it's going
to be in twenty years. If it's fifteen dollars, now,
imagine where we're going to be twenty years from now,
(30:45):
and how that's that's gonna go.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
My goodness, like the Dodger dog Weeni's they ain't never
gonna come back down to five dollars.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Oh, no, forget about that. I saw this week Pete Vessi,
the old NBA inside of the original WOJ Pete Vessie
and he's still doing stuff on social media.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
He's retired on inside the NBA on NBC with.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
The John tesh yea, the great John tesh music VESSI
sent out this thing that the it was from the
I don't even know he sent it out or he
responded to it, but was from the Washington Bullets in
the nineteen eighties, and they had a promotion, you know,
B Free Night or whatever like, well, you know, buy
a ticket and get a ticket for free. If the
(31:32):
Washington Bullets such an offensive name, uh, and that, by
the way, that did stop gun violence. They changed the
name because they thought that was inspiring gun violence in DC.
No one's ever gotten shot in DC since they got
rid of the Bullets nickname. So that was a good
decision by the people that owned the Bullets. Were much safer,
were a much safer society since that. So the Bullets
(31:54):
were playing the San Diego Clippers who had Lloyd Free
better known as World B Free, and the promotion was
by a seven, one fifty or four fifty ticket four
dollars and fifty cents. And if the Bullets hold World
Be Free under his season average, you'll get to redeem
your ticket stuff to get another ticket for free to
a future game. And it was just crazy ticket for
(32:15):
seven to fifty wow to an NBA game, and they
were they were trying to get you to come in there,
and they had they had deals for kids, you know,
go free basketball cards.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Yeah. It's like the time I saw Dominique Wilkins play
at the LA Sports Arena against your Clippers.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Uh huh. Take played for the Clippers too.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yeah, when he was on the Hawks. You know what
the sports arena was good for back then to see
the star of the other team that was in town.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Well they used to advertise, Yeah, to promote the star
of the other team. That was their big their big deal. Yeah,
the sports Arena was I have fun memories. It's gone.
They tore there's a soccer stadium there now, Yeah, sure
where it used to be. Uh LAFC Is that the
team that plays there?
Speaker 3 (32:56):
I think so?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Was it?
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Like it's some initials like BMP or something.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
LA FC plays there. Are my guy, Dave Denholm, who
I worked with early on in my career. I think
he's the play by play guy, I think for that team.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
I don't know a BMO stadium I knew it had.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Boy, Yes, everyone's got bo If you don't shower, eam
all right, we'll get out on that and a big
old mail bag, big big, big big mail bag tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Not two, not three, not four, not five, not six,
not seven.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
