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. Wow, it's a clearinghouse
of hot takes. Break free for something special. The Fifth
(00:23):
Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
The air everywhere, The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben Mahler
and Danny g Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Because hey, four hours a night not enough. This is
the Extra Crispy, Extra Spicy, not original recipe podcast, only
available in the podcast The Overnight Show is the original recipe,
which can get five days a week, four hours a
night unless for some reason somebody screws up and the
podcast doesn't go up. But we're back at it on
(00:58):
a Sunday Sunday Sunday Fun Day, the twenty first day
of the great month of April. As the days keep
going away, it is National Bulldogs Are Beautiful Day today,
and as a proud bulldog owner, I will make sure
today to spoil Moxie ef ef Earf, my dog, my
(01:23):
bulldog Moxie, my dream dog, Moxie who sits around and
farts all the time.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
What a life, What a wonderful life there? How do
you spoil her? Do you like take your socks off
and ball them up and throw your socks?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Well, Moxie is I've talked about. I have two dogs.
I have Luigi, who's insane. He's still a puppy. Once
he comes down, he'll be cool. But Moxie's just the
chillest dog in the world. And my favorite thing that
Moxie does is not that she farts all the time
and has endless slobber and her tongue out all the time.
That is pretty cool, though it is neat Those are
(01:59):
all great characteristics, But I love the fact that she
gets so lazy at night that she will lay down
like she's dead, and when you walk by her, she
will not move her body at all, but her eyes
will track you like that's the only thing in her
body that move. It's the funniest thing. I shill lay
(02:20):
there like he's dead, nothing will be moving other than
her eyes kind of slowly following you as you walk
around the room. So I think that's that's pretty cool.
It's a go fly a kite day today? Also so big.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
That was one of my mom's favorite things to tell
us when we were getting on her nerves. Fly kite.
Either that or go play in the middle of a
busy freeway.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
That's good parenting. Never successful as a kid getting the
kite in the air one. I had friends that would
get the kite in the air. Now I could manage
the kite once it's in the air, but the hardest
part is getting it up in the air, and I
did not succeed on that. The hardest part is getting
it up. How dare you? These are fine, Hollis not
(03:11):
not as good as National Garlic Day, which was back
on Friday, which I getting it up I loved, I loved,
I loved. Before we get to the mail, but I do.
A little pop goes the culture, I wonder to a
little pop goes to the culture, John John, Okay, pop
(03:37):
goes the culture. These are some random stories that we
we think are interesting. That's why we're talking about them.
The things that happened today, last couple of days, whatever,
things that caught our attention. I thought this was rather amazing.
Your you're Disneyland weekend, Danny going on this weekend, Big
Disney and all that. And there's a report that says
(04:00):
Star Wars, the Disney franchise that's owned by Disney, Star
Wars the box office has not covered the cost of
the movie franchise. That they keep making these movies, but
internally the numbers they're they're not generating profits that it's
(04:21):
just not working. If I'm a financial standpoint, how could
you screw up Star Wars?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
No wonder that Star Wars milk they have and Star
Wars Land is like twenty dollars per cup. It makes
sense now, Yeah, they will find a way to recoup
that much.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
There are some theories because they've changed the Star Wars
brand over the years and they're trying to target female
audiences more than the you know, just the dudes, or
make it the original story and any of that might
be part of the problem. But I think they're just
spending too much money to make the movies because they
people do watch these movies. That Disney bought Lucasfilm for
(05:01):
four billion, the net box office profit from Star Wars
films has only been one point two billion, and that
does not even factor in the cost of marketing the films,
which is an insane amount of money. The latest Indiana
Jones film. I was reading this. It's another lucasfilm's property
actually lost the company a significant amount of money. So
(05:24):
it's good to know, Danny, you're helping Disney out because
they are struggling here. So it's good to know you're
taking care of the people over there at Disney.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I only spent four hundred dollars on food yesterday.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Well here's a shocking revelation from the world of food.
Did not make foody fun the other day. But according
to a professor at Grandi University, University of Parma in Italy.
He says, tomato sauce on pizza is an American creation.
(05:56):
It is not Italian. This is a food historian and
this has caused major outrage in it in Italia.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
I've heard this before. Isn't it that they just crush
up tomato and put that on the bread, the flat bread? Yeah,
to a sauce, right, all right? So the story can
he is the guy from Parma University. How great is
it you go to Parma University? Imagine the food at Parma.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
University says He argued that the pizza rosa or red
pizza topping. The tomato sauce was founded when Italian immigrants
took advantage of their newfound ingredients on American soil to
improve it. And yet you know these people in it.
Wait a minute, though, you rat, bastard, what's wrong?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Okay, what an improvement it is? Though, Like, can you
imagine a margarita pizza but with no sauce?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yeah? Yeah, well, I don't care who invented it is
delicious and who the hell cares? You know, I doesn't matter.
According to this book, though, which promises to debonk lies
and miss about Italian cuisine, said that not only did
tomatoes originate in the New World, but so did tomato sauce.
(07:07):
Italians only discovering tomato sauce in abundant equalities when they
started immigrating to the US in the nineteenth century. So
that's the argument. Well, good, I'm glad they immigrated because
the pizza is delicious. It's freaking wonderful. Way to go,
right way to go.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
And we were talking about mid level restaurants the other day.
I wish there was a better option than Olive Garden.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yeah, do they still have the all you can eat
the pasta?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I don't know. I haven't been there in a while.
My wife refuses to go there. She hates their food.
She says she feels sick anytime she eats there. But
if you're a sponsor right now, we'll go again if
you give us a free certificate.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
But we still need Arby's to sign up. Yeah, we'll
both go to art. We'll do a show from Arby's
if they buy advertising. It's the Burger King effect with
them though. Ben years ago, I went and the food
was pretty decent quality, But then year by year it
seems like the quality of the ingredients has gone down
and down and down. They're doing the limbo How low
can you get? Yeah, how low can you go? What
(08:09):
else pops up here before we get to the mail bag.
I'm sure this came up on Covino and Rich The
woman who took a corpse?
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Oh yeah into the bank.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
We had a good laugh about this.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
One Weekend at Bernie's becomes Reality.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Weekend at Bernie's too, because in that sequel they actually
went to the bank to get some of his money out.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
How do you end up in a position in life
where you think you can get away with that?
Speaker 4 (08:31):
It was only thirty four hundred dollars, not thirty four thousand,
not three hundred and forty thousand, thirty four hundred.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yeah. So if you didn't see the story, it's a
bit ghoulish um. But that happened. It's on video. It happened.
I saw it. I saw the video, Danny. It happened.
A woman takes a corpse into a bank trying to
scam some money. Was caught on camera transporting the cadaver
in a taxi yeah uncle, yeah, and even getting the
(09:00):
the cabby to help move the body.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
And so the teller was like, what's wrong with your uncle?
And she's like, uncle, sit up. If you don't seem better,
I'm gonna have to take you to the hospital. Oh
my god. Yeah, that is bad acting. She was horrible.
The head kept falling back, and they knew what she
was up to. She in trouble for embezzlement, theft, yeah,
(09:26):
one other charge.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
So yeah, I think you can't do that with bodies.
I think you no move bodies around your I don't
know what the term is. There's a legal term for that.
I forget what it is, but you can't.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Yeah, no, she's gonna be doing some jail time.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
So I thought of you when I saw this story
this week, and I thought of Klay Travis, the circus
elephant that escaped and just was casually walking.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Yes, I saw some tweets on this that were hashtag
animal Thunderdome.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Butte Montana and a traveling world Sir Jordan Worlds. I
didn't know they still had circuses with animals. I thought
the Wokester's got rid all that there are. That to
me is the most amazing part of the story. They're
still circus animals.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
There's a couple of companies still trying to do circus stuff.
I've seen one pop up in Burbank a couple of
years ago.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
In Burbanka. Yeah, okay, when I was in San Jose,
I was going to the Costco to get gas wedding
weekend and I drove by they had a circus, but
not one with animals. They had the human circus. The
hardest part is getting it up that was out of
context audio.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
I know there's somewhere they're just trying to stick to
horses and the safer animals where they don't think the
activist groups will come after them. But it's pretty awesome.
That they had elephants at this one.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, that's pretty pretty bananas. So yeah, residents of Butte
Montane they saw an adult female elephant escaped from the
holding area and was traveling around. Just there's plenty of
cell phone vide everyone immediately the first thing you do,
you'd think you'd try to protect yourself. No, you pull
(11:05):
out your phone and you're like, this is going to
go viral, this is gonna go And then the police
had to shut down the streets. And but then the
funniest is the guy from the circus the elephant keepers
like running after the elephant. It's like a like a
nineteen eighties comedy.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
It is. It's like a Herbie the love Bug.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Just just absolutely you can.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Just imagine you're driving down the road with your wife
and out of know her, she's like elephant, Like dabe
if I've been dieting?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Uh, all right, last, the last one in the pop
goes the culture. Then we'll get to the mail bag
and this one from just human activity. How many times
did you see the story? How many times a day
do Americans check their phones? No? I didn't see this, Okay, good,
So how many times a day on average they've done
the research on this. Dude, your average American check their phone.
(11:58):
Do do do do Do Do Do do.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Be it's gotta be two hundred times two hundred and
twelve times two.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Hundred twelve times. That's a lot. Two hundred twelve is
a lot. You actually went over, Danny, So you do
not win the showcase showdown, you do. I'm sorry you
don't win, loser, but it's I thought it was still
a high number. One hundred and forty four times a
day Americans check their phone. So I did some malord
math on this, and if my math is corrected, now,
(12:28):
I'm not average. I only sleep four or five hours
a day, but most people sleep eight hours a day.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
So yeah, I didn't take that into consideration. Yes, we're
in radio.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, we we're up a little more than that. We
we're definitely over two unto times a day. But if
you if you are eight hours a day asleep, you're
awake sixteen hours. So let's do the math. So if
you're wake sixteen hours, one hundred and forty four times
a day, you're checking your phone over sixteen hours. That
is eighteen times every hour that you're checking your phone.
(12:56):
Take that for data. Put that in your pipe and
smoke it. Okay, who says you don't learn anything from
a dopey weekend podcast?
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Come on?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, eighteen times every hour? Oh you're you're awake. I
did think it was more than that, But when you
factor in the sleep thing, it makes sense.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Yeah, we forgot that normal people's sleep.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah, before nineteen ninety two, people did not do that
because smartphones did not exist. You were not pulling out
your flip phone to check it eighteen times.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
So now what did people do back then? One hundred
and forty two different times? Play pocket pool.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Actually talk to each other, which is very uncomfortable, and
pocket pool also Yeah, Now, how often, Danny do you
have your significant of other say, phones down, phone free? Nope, nope,
get off your phone.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
She doesn't say anything, but it's a look. Yeah, so
I'll see this look and I'll be like, and now
I'm proactive. I'll put the phone away before I enter
the living room.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
It's a veteran move. So I always have the well,
I got to do it for work thing, which but
it's true work. It doesn't work on the weekends.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
There's times where I got to go back to my phone.
To check that the podcast has loaded and has you know,
shot out to the world, or I have to do
this or this description or there. There's stuff we do
have to do for work with social media, et cetera.
So it is hard with what we do for a
living to just always have the phone down. Yeah on
the week exactly.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
But you know, I've had my wife confiscate my phone.
I've had that on the way well I believe that, Yeah,
Jesus grabbed it. No, no, you're not on your phone
though it can't. Then I'm like, okay, but one hundred
and forty four times a day.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
According to that little Hawaii trip we took before it,
my wife said, and on this trip, we're not going
to have our phones out whatsoever. And I'm like, you
made that rule up, not me. Ze.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
This was done the study by the University of California, Irvine.
Shout out ant eaters, and the professor wrote a book
about attention span and how to refocus when distracted.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Let's get to the mail bag, mail bag, mail bag,
mail bag, Go hio A. It's but ohioal an amazing
(15:26):
song this week on the Overnight Show about Lorraine Ah
and the first Loraina theme song has been produced by
Malard Militia member.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Yeah, she's a made member now.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
She's part of the club. We we got to let
her know where all the Mather theme music is. Though
she hasn't found the archive of the old songs because
we got to keep those on the air, and I'm
not sure where they are. But we'll. I figure once
we get more Loraina songs, she'll want to play them,
so we'll put them in the.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
And this is exactly, And I think a lot of
the other ones are dated anyways, because they'd have like
Roberto's name or my name, or other producers' names.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
There's so many different people. But they're classics. You know
they're classics.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
You are the pummeler of producers.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yeah, but they are classic songs and it brings back
good memories, fond memories. We love the Danny ge era
on the show. We love the Jake Warner era, Roberto era.
The I wouldn't say the Iowa Sam era because I
didn't last that long, but you know, stopover, you know the.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Temple Iowa that was a sneeze.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yeah, pretty much pretty much anyway. First one up, Steve
in Omaha, Omaha, Omaha, although he only said it once.
He said, Ben and Danny g enjoy the show you
and the crew. I've been listening to your show. You
have been feasting on little Debbie cakes and tasty cakes
from listeners recently. What other regional delicacy would you guys
like to try next?
Speaker 4 (16:52):
I saw that latest picture of you with that spread.
You guys are gonna get diabetes, diabetes, diabetes, diabetes, Thank you, Wilfred.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Yeah, now we don't eat I don't eat all of it.
I don't eat it during this Lorraina, God bless her.
She's got good genetics.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Oh and she's got a sweet tooth like you wouldn't believe.
I've seen her knock out like four donuts during one show.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yeah, and she doesn't get any weight. I'm like I
told her, I said, listen, Lora, I will I will
change the way I consume food and the way you
consume food for like a couple of weeks. I'll eat
whatever I want. You can. You'll definitely gain weight. Definitely
gain weight if you follow.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
It's the most annoying thing when you hear someone say
I really need to gain like twelve pounds. Yeah, what
a problem to have. Holy crap.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, So to answer your question, Steve, I don't know
what you're from Omaha.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Is there a regional food dish in Omaha. Maybe, Steve,
you can let us know it's popular and we'll look
it up. I don't know any foods Omaha steaks, but
that's still I don't think steaks generated in Omaha. So
I don't know what, but I ask your question, No,
I'd love to try as many different things as we can.
We've had a really good run. We've got the stuff
from BUCkies, which was really cool. We got all the
(18:11):
treats from BUCkies the truck stop.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Not only are they famous for their steaks, they are
well known for their Uben sandwich.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Oh okay, I like a Ruben sandwich. Doesn't transport very
well though, the Ruben. I don't think you can send
that in the mail. It would taste very good. But yes,
see it's kind of neat. It's fun that we have
a big stick and we're on a lot of different places,
and I would love to try as many different foods
as I can from different parts of the country, places
I haven't been before. And if you know of anything
(18:39):
there in Omaha, let us know, Steve or if you're
in a different town.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Says, when you're in Omaha, try a Bob's Breakfast box
from Bob's Donuts.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Okay, I don't know that I'll ever end up in Omaha.
Do you think you've ever You're not going to go
to Omaha?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Right, I'm not sure. What do they have a graduate
hotel there?

to say like I don't want this, I'm not going
to send it back to you. I do love hats.
Hats are great. Love the hats.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
And forget what size hat are you? Yeah?

I don't know. And my favorite hats, Jay, since you asked,
unless you didn't, is stuff with bes on it. I
like the b hat I have allowed to be hats.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
I still need one of the Dodger hats with the
cursive capital d on it.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Oh you don't have one of those those? Yeah, I
don't have one of those either. Those are those are
pretty cool? But thank you Jay for listening. I appreciate that.
And I'm sure mass whole Mickey will hear this. I'd
be very upset with you saying that you're an original
masshole and you'll take that whatever. All right, Mike and Fullerton,
He writes and says, hello, Ben and Danny g Did
I miss the cutoff last week? Or were my twenty
six fun facts about Fullerton not fun enough? Well? We
(20:36):
actually we saved that Mike was such an amazing email,
we saved it for this week. He says, what are
your least what are your guys least favorite games to
play in a casino, whether it be boring or one
you've just had the worst luck at at playing, he says,
And he says, ps the original NBA team of the
fifth hour. The Clippers start their title hunt today. Let's
(20:59):
go Clippers. Here we go Clipper Nation. Yeah, okay, hey.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
I'll give your Clippers some credit. Bend because I actually
heard you praising the Lakers on the airline.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I did not. I did not praise gentlemen.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
No, I did not have chairs and applause the podcast
right now, it's a lot of time. Ever on Fox
Sports Radio network, Ben Mallard, there's a promo running. I
couldn't believe what I was hearing.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
No.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
I thought it was Ai, but it wasn't. It was
Mallard praising the Lakers for taking the Nuggets head on.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
That was out of context audio. I merely stated. I
am annoyed as a consumer of the industrial complex of sports.
It annoys me when teams try to jerry mander the
playoff matchups and I'm.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Not really hearing any of this right now. I heard
the promo. That's all I need to do. Well, you
can you hear? You heard what you want to hear.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
And let me point out, by the way, I I
only gave Marshall credit.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Because win if one Zion one game shut up, if Zion.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Had not fallen into a ball of uh.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Oh, still would have hit that three in front of them.
You still would have had the steal with the Middle.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Orleans was a was a freight train. They were.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
They were not going to be stopped their way right
to the Nuggets.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Nah. But the Lakers were trying to give the game
back to New Orleans. But when Zion got hurt that day,
and that's fine, Listen, they're gonna lose to Denver. But
I like the fact that they did not bow down
the New Orleans. And I'm annoyed. But as I'm very consistent,
Danny Way comes to that, I'm very consistent. Then when
it comes back on me.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Now.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Mike also did mention the twenty six fund facts about Fullerton,
a city he lives in. Why else, but he said
that he says, if you liked Ozzie WA's fifty fun
facts about Australia, you're gonna love these twenty six fun
facts about Fullerton if you're unfamiliar Fullerton. There's cal State Fullerton,
the Titans, which is where I believe Cedric Seballs did
he go?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
There?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (23:02):
To Ventura College?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Ventur He didn't go to He didn't go to cal.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
State food I'm not sure maybe, but I know he
did go to Ventura College for a little while.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Yeah, and worked at Fox Sports Radio for a little bit.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
And had quite a trip to Lake Cavasu back in
the day.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, am I, Yeah, he did go to We're both
right to both? Yeah, one of dunk contest blindfold.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
To check out our Cedricbalos knowledge. That's deep knowledge.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
That is intense knowledge of Cedricos who played for the
Lakers and they were terrible.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Let's do Cedric the entertainer. Now where did he go
to the grave?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
But did he die?
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Now?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
All right?
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Stop trying to kill celebrities.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
All right? So fun facts about Fullerton City in Orange
County says, uh, moving ahead, but keeping it old school.
Fullerton has been redesigning the downtown for the past twenty years.
Is that a fun fact? I don't think history geeks
haven't made Fullertin was incorporated in nineteen oh four. Is
the OC's fourth oldest city. Is that a fun fact?
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Probably not.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Free parking everywhere? That's a fun fact.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Free parking, that's a cheap o fact.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Fullerton is second to one in smarts. Fullertin comes in
behind only Irvine and being the smartest community in the
entire state of California. All right, what else I'm gonna
read all these or else we will have no one listening.
Oh these are terrible.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Fast forward to the last one.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
We move ahead in the broadcast. Fullerton is Titan Nation
cal State Fullerton. Let's see your downtown is overrun by trees.
That's a fun fact. Oh my god, uh, all aboard
there's an Amtrak they're promoting. There's an Amtrak train station.
(24:57):
That's hilarious. Okay, we're good, but thank you.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Yeah, fun fact in my city. Did you see how
they laid down the first beam on the Wildlife Overpass?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I did see that. I was at the gym and
they had on the channel seven ABC news. They had
on the gym. They said the highway was closed, but
they had put the first leg down. Yeah, very excited
about it.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
How about this for human nature. Now in the afternoon
when I'm driving in for the Covino and Rich show,
when I'm going underneath of it, everybody in front of
me is slowing down for some reason. Now, before that
first beam was laid down, nobody was slowing down past that.
There's you know, there's always been construction there going on
for a while now, but everybody just zoomed on by.
(25:41):
Now that there's something above your head, for some reason,
people are slowing down again.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I'll go back to what we said in a previous
episode of the podcast. Do they realize, like the animal
rights activists, I'm all for supporting animals, but did they
realize the animals don't realize that's just for them, and
they're still gonna do what they want to do because
they're freaking animals. But you know, I digressh Wacky Mackie.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
That one beam snakes are going to be able to
get across the freeway right now, so we're excited.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Yeah, that's big for them. Wacky MACKI from the Land
of Tobaki. Uh, something tells me that's not his real name.
He says, Ben and Danny g if you guys were
given a mystery trip for one week, all expenses paid.
But the catches you didn't know where you were going.
You could only take one bag of clothes with you.
Would you go?
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Uh yeah, free trip?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Yeah, but if they take you to like Pyongyang or something, you.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Know, it's like I mean, he says, mystery.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
That doesn't necessarily mean good mystery trip. You don't know,
you might end up in bagdad or something.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Your problem.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Uh yeah, Ukraine with Jay Scoop.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
What if you get one bag and they send you
to Siberia and it's the middle of winner and you
gotta be a problem wild man? Thank you, Wacky Maki
or whatever your real name is a wild man probably
not reame either. From Morgantown, West Virginia, he says, Ben
and Danny g who's your intro guy? I know I've
heard him on FSR for a while. I think he's
good at what he does. Thank you, So talking about
(27:11):
the voice of Bob. Bob Schmidt, Right, yeah, Bob Schmid
is the guy's name. Very nice, gentleman.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Does all Bob listens to this podcast? By the way,
All right, what up, Bobby, Bobby?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
We need Bob, we need you to do jingles for
our next open, Bob, can you do a jingle? A
Ben and Danny g jingle.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Bob used to listen to out Kick the coverage too,
and he'd always text me and comment on animal Thunderdome stories. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Bob Schmidt a broadcast legend, legendary what again?
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Yeah? Also voice of the Dodgers. I see all the
Dodger promos on TV and it's.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Bob Doyers Dodger babool. When I first started at Fox
Sports Radio, there was a guy that was working there
who did movie trailers, and that back in I don't
think it's like this anymore. Back in the day, if
you voiced movie trailers, that's all you did.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Oh yeah, you worked.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
For like half an hour day to save your voice.
They drove you around in limousines and the guy was
giving me the whole rap about like that was the
if you were a voiceover guy, that was the git
you wanted to make.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
And in my mid twenties, I did one movie voiceover
and they gave me a fifteen hundred dollars check. I
thought I hit the lotto. That's great. I never did
another one.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Kevin was a chevi lived career.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Yeah, but it was yeah, yeah, like me doing a
Dodger talk Kevin in Kansas, right, sid he says, Hey, guys,
Ben one night this past week, you said shoulder surgery.
You said it was with such ease. But every time
I say it, it comes out soldier surgery unless I
back off the speaking speed a lot with talking as
(28:48):
your profession. Is there any phrase that makes you put
on the brakes just so you say it correctly? Yeah,
free throws. I usually screwed out of Joe's.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
How about this one? What's oll restbrook? Uh?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, that's a that's a tough one. I've had nights, Kevin.
You've probably heard this where I mispronounced the word milk
one night.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
What do you mean one night? You do that every
time you say that one?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Nah, that's not so, that's it. You're embellishing every once
in a while. As you know, Kevin, a fellow wordsman.
When you use words a lot, occasionally, sometimes things kind
of slip past the goaltender that shouldn't slip past the goaltender,
and it keeps us human. Though to error is very
important part of life, Danny, You make mistake, So what
(29:34):
about you?
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Danny?
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Andy phrases that don't come out of the mouth the
right way.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
You know, there's a word I said two different times,
two different weeks on CNR, and it didn't come out
the right way. I'll have to remember the word.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Well, Danny, as you know, to error is human.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Yeah, true. But you know what, when you stammer and
stutter on national radio, you do think about it, Like, God,
I sounded like such an idiot. An idiot when it happens,
it sticks in your craw for a little while.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Well, that's one of the reasons I don't like to
go back and listen to the show.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Yeah, like misspeaking. We all do that, pausing or stuttering
on a word a little bit. That's okay, But when
you sound like you have a you know, a stuttering problem,
it's it's embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Unless you're stuttering John on the nineteen nineties Howard Stern Show,
then it's okay. But outside of.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
That, Yeah, what a great job he had, by the way,
Yeah that was that was solid.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
And then he had a falling out. I think he
still does a podcast, But well, he did get a
great job leaving the Stern Show. He was the voice
of the Tonight Show remember Jay Leno hired him to
be the voice guy for the freaking Tonight Show back
when people actually watched the Tonight Show.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I just thought of the word amicable. Amicable. I said
it fast and amicable.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
There are nights I've done monologues about a player that
I don't really pronounce their name quite and what properly
and what I'll end up doing, and we've all done
this now. We didn't have this option when I got
into radio. You go on YouTube and you keep watching
to hear the person's name over and over so you
can learn by listening to it, you know, and it's
like you feel like such an idiot. You're like, oh
(31:11):
my god, this is so bad. Like I did a
monologue about it the Cubs Japanese pitcher they just added
this year, and I didn't really pronounce the name right,
and I kept watching. I was watching a clip of
him pitching on YouTube over and over again to try
to get it, and I had it in my head
and then I had a brain fart in the middle
(31:31):
of the monologue and I was like, oh, it's so.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Bad, yeah, or or like it's hard to not say
Yamamoto without saying it, like with an Asian accent on
the air. I caught myself. I was like Yamamoto.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Racist ol from the app store rights, he says, gentlemen,
where is all the Rby's hate rooted? He says, it's
a fast food connoisseur. There are truly these are truly
trying times, and all steps necessary must be taken in
order to eat out on rare and appropriate occasions. So
(32:10):
I have downloaded downloaded an app in order to get
a freebie once in a while. Is it really the
end of the world. I was forced by Danny G
to do some market research and came on to the
conclusion that Arby's can only be consumed by the common
man if you are willing to go off the deal menu,
(32:31):
which is extremely limited to three items. Secondly, my local
establishment has happy hours and gives out paper coupons, which
are sometimes very good, he says. Also, don't sleep on
the Arby's chicken sandwich. It is sold a solid sandwich,
says alf and he sent a bunch of screenshots of coupons.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
He can't be the real alf. I feel like this
is a plant by the mafia. What a job running alf?
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Impost?
Speaker 4 (32:57):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Yeah, Well, if I respect a man. You're much like myself.
I think we're actually a lot alike. You listen to
the show a lot, you kind of know what I'm like.
I'm assuming you're following many of my my Michigas things
that I do.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
So yeah, if man of the people who sits up
in skyboxes at sporting events.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Not anymore, and that's I so Tani came to town.
Those days are over. Man, I am really the man
of the people. I'm watching on TV, Tommy, That's what
I'm That's what I'm doing. I saw that Wendy. Speaking
of do we mention this? I don't even mentioned this
in Footy Fight. Maybe last week we did. Wendy's. They're
offering free fries to customers every Friday for the remainder
(33:36):
of the year, so if there's a deal.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
Their fries stink.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Now, are they bad?
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Yeah, they're not bad, but they're just not awesome in
the way they used to be. Serve them mostly cold. Yeah,
they used to be good back in the nineties.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Well, nothing is truly ever free, so they are charging.
There's a little stipulation here. They said you have to
make a purchase on the in app to receive the order,
So any size. I love when they do the any
size fries. Who's ordering the small fries? Right? It's like
what McDonald's had any drink for a dollar? Well, who's
(34:11):
ordering the.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Small It's like when the Dodgers too get a certain
amount of strikeouts in a game, then you can get
a free burger the next day at a Jack in
the box, But you have to purchase a large drink
to get the free burger. You know how much of
large drink is? It's a rip?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Well, that's true, blind Jake writes in he says, the
wife and I will be visiting the north Woods middle
of July. We are currently looking at stopping at the
part the packing district and spending time in Huntington Beach.
Which places should we make sure to visit?
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Is that by the Lax parking lot you visited?
Speaker 1 (34:51):
He blew me off at a hotel near Lax. He says,
which places should we avoid? Also any places my guide
dog would love to visit? Well, Jake, if you call
the show a few times, I don't think I can
let anyone in anymore unless they call the show. Because
Coop got freaked out because we had some people in
(35:11):
that didn't call the show and he got all all freaky.
But yeah, what to do in the OC? I do
like the Packing District that's actually an Anaheim, Danny, the Yeah,
they have this place. My favorite poutine place is in
the Packing District. It's called the Croft. I highly recommend
if you're in the poutine best, I say best, better
than all the other poutine I've had outside of Wisconsin
(35:32):
is the Croft. I love that they have the fried
chicken poutine, which is really really good. You know downtown
Disney you probably know about that. There's a place in
Irvine called the Spectrum, which I know you've been to, Danny.
I've been there. It's big. It's a shopping center. It's
like the Disneyland of shopping centers. Have a ferris wheel,
they have Merry go Round. It's pretty crazy.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
Yeah. And then drive south. Go to San Clemente if
you want like a beautiful little beach town.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yeah, go to Mission San Juan Capistrano if you want
to take the wife there and your dog and all that.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Take your girl to get some wine into Mechula.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
I like the Newport Peninsula, which is beautiful Newport Beach,
you know, old, old Town Orange is a nice place
to walk around. There's some old shops.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
And yeah, what nuts. Get some Mexican food in old
town San Diego.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Or if you you want to be adventurous, go to
Santa Ana.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
But do it during the day.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Don't go at night. I'd go during the day, and
you know you have your dog.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
True story. My wife and I were in Santa Anna.
We had to go into the walmart there to get
some diapers for baby CoA. Had no choice, it was
an emergency. There was a homeless guy sitting on a
big wheel smoking a cigar with all his belongings around.
Is a big wheel man, a real big wheel outside
the front of the walmart.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Welcome to California. You'll get a kick out of this.
This week, we had a guy call in from Maine
who had been in jail for five years, and I
was like, what are you in jail for? And he
didn't really want to say, and then he said something like,
well it was like kind of theft.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
Still.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
You know what My advice to him was, Danny, I
told him, I said, move to California. We don't we
don't arrest criminals for for theft. In California. You can
steal whatever you want. They don't care. They'll let you
right back out to steal some more stuff. And he's like, well, yeah,
in Maine they put you in jail.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
The frown on it.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
They don't they don't like it.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
There.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Uh, let's see, Reggie from the basis, what if you
could teleport guys but you would arrive naked, would you
do it? Uh? No?
Speaker 4 (37:41):
Yeah, well, I mean where am I teleporting to? If
it was somewhere tropical, you're still naked, Okay, I'd be warm.
On the other side, you're gonna put it.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
You put it like something covering up your twigging barrier.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Uh Steve Wright's hands, Jill, you get more rotation with
two hands. Ben, I heard you complaining about the carpeting
being cleaned the other night. Was it really that bad?
Speaker 4 (38:10):
I saw this email, I didn't I didn't get.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
The I didn't get the I didn't get the email,
so I didn't know about it.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
The email was the evening of the carpet cleaning, and
it started out sorry for the late notice.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Yeah. So I have a as I think Eddie called
me the sensitive sniffer. My nose is pretty sensitive to
certain smells. And I did not realize they were cleaning
the carpet. I didn't see the email. I don't check
the company email. So I got there. I get there
pretty early to get ready for the show. Finish up,
getting ready for the show, I should.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
Say, And you didn't get your spring bonus.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Yeah, right, So my nose starts kind of running a
little bit, right, starts running a little bit, and and
I see some weird people in the building that I
didn't really recognize, and then I noticed they had the
bigam carpet zamboni, and then I saw there's a sign
there and.
Speaker 4 (39:03):
All that, and.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Yeah, it really didn't mess with my sinuses. But here's
the funny thing. So they said they were going to
be cleaning the carpets from ten o'clock at night till
six in the morning. That's what That's how I interpreted.
Those guys were out of the building within an hour.
They had done the whole building, but they did not
do the studio because they wanted to come in there
(39:27):
while I was on the air, and I was like, no,
we can't have that because it was going to mess up.
We would have heard the sound on the air.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
Did you ask if you could ride the carpet Samboni.
That would have been fun.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
I would have waved it everyone like I was on
the ice at the King's game.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
I would have waived it everybody.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
Last one on the mailbag, Barry rites in from South Carolina.
He says, but in Nashville this week, Yo, yo, Ma, Benny,
did you just ban Justin and Cincinnati from all the
game shows or is this a self imposed game show
ban from Justin? First of all, Barry, we have not
(40:02):
banned Justin from Cincinnati from the game shows. Justin I
heard Justin at one point was the most epic game
show contestant on the show. He then got passed. He
was poll axed by our friend from Brooklyn, Uncle Moe.
And Justin has just not called as often for the
(40:22):
game shows. We haven't banned him. I guess he wants
other people to play the game shows. But we put
him on every once in a while. But yeah, he
used to call for every game show. He was like
game show King of Whares, But not anymore. All right,
we'll get out on that, Danny. I will be back
tonight in the magic radio box, bloviating the overnight hours away,
(40:43):
having a grand time doing that. And we'll be here
all week long from eleven o'clock till three am on
the west and that's two am to six am Monday morning,
under the cover of the stars and cover of the darkness.
What do you got going on?
Speaker 4 (40:59):
Danny out Monday afternoon? Back on with Covino and Rich
two to four pm on the West side. That's five
to seven pm in beautiful Chicago, Illinois. Ben, I might
need to borrow five dollars for gas to get to
Sherman Oaks because my checking account was emptied this past
weekend at Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
Yeah, I recommend just hitch hiking. That's all you need
to do. It's go old school. I'm sure the wife
will be okay with that.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
I'll stand at the New Wildlife Overpass and hit your
ride right there. Yeah, the traffic is coming to a halt.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Just identify as a bear and you'll be fine. You'll
be good, all right. Hey, you have a wonderful day.
And hey, listen, we'll talk to you tonight. Get you
next time.
Speaker 4 (41:40):
Austa Pasta got a murder. I gotta go
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. Wow, it's a clearinghouse
of hot takes. Break free for something special. The Fifth
(00:23):
Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
The air everywhere, The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben Mahler
and Danny g Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Because hey, four hours a night not enough. This is
the Extra Crispy, Extra Spicy, not original recipe podcast, only
available in the podcast The Overnight Show is the original recipe,
which can get five days a week, four hours a
night unless for some reason somebody screws up and the
podcast doesn't go up. But we're back at it on
(00:58):
a Sunday Sunday Sunday Fun Day, the twenty first day
of the great month of April. As the days keep
going away, it is National Bulldogs Are Beautiful Day today,
and as a proud bulldog owner, I will make sure
today to spoil Moxie ef ef Earf, my dog, my
(01:23):
bulldog Moxie, my dream dog, Moxie who sits around and
farts all the time.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
What a life, What a wonderful life there? How do
you spoil her? Do you like take your socks off
and ball them up and throw your socks?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Well, Moxie is I've talked about. I have two dogs.
I have Luigi, who's insane. He's still a puppy. Once
he comes down, he'll be cool. But Moxie's just the
chillest dog in the world. And my favorite thing that
Moxie does is not that she farts all the time
and has endless slobber and her tongue out all the time.
That is pretty cool, though it is neat Those are
(01:59):
all great characteristics, But I love the fact that she
gets so lazy at night that she will lay down
like she's dead, and when you walk by her, she
will not move her body at all, but her eyes
will track you like that's the only thing in her
body that move. It's the funniest thing. I shill lay
(02:20):
there like he's dead, nothing will be moving other than
her eyes kind of slowly following you as you walk
around the room. So I think that's that's pretty cool.
It's a go fly a kite day today? Also so big.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
That was one of my mom's favorite things to tell
us when we were getting on her nerves. Fly kite.
Either that or go play in the middle of a
busy freeway.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
That's good parenting. Never successful as a kid getting the
kite in the air one. I had friends that would
get the kite in the air. Now I could manage
the kite once it's in the air, but the hardest
part is getting it up in the air, and I
did not succeed on that. The hardest part is getting
it up. How dare you? These are fine, Hollis not
(03:11):
not as good as National Garlic Day, which was back
on Friday, which I getting it up I loved, I loved,
I loved. Before we get to the mail, but I do.
A little pop goes the culture, I wonder to a
little pop goes to the culture, John John, Okay, pop
(03:37):
goes the culture. These are some random stories that we
we think are interesting. That's why we're talking about them.
The things that happened today, last couple of days, whatever,
things that caught our attention. I thought this was rather amazing.
Your you're Disneyland weekend, Danny going on this weekend, Big
Disney and all that. And there's a report that says
(04:00):
Star Wars, the Disney franchise that's owned by Disney, Star
Wars the box office has not covered the cost of
the movie franchise. That they keep making these movies, but
internally the numbers they're they're not generating profits that it's
(04:21):
just not working. If I'm a financial standpoint, how could
you screw up Star Wars?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
No wonder that Star Wars milk they have and Star
Wars Land is like twenty dollars per cup. It makes
sense now, Yeah, they will find a way to recoup
that much.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
There are some theories because they've changed the Star Wars
brand over the years and they're trying to target female
audiences more than the you know, just the dudes, or
make it the original story and any of that might
be part of the problem. But I think they're just
spending too much money to make the movies because they
people do watch these movies. That Disney bought Lucasfilm for
(05:01):
four billion, the net box office profit from Star Wars
films has only been one point two billion, and that
does not even factor in the cost of marketing the films,
which is an insane amount of money. The latest Indiana
Jones film. I was reading this. It's another lucasfilm's property
actually lost the company a significant amount of money. So
(05:24):
it's good to know, Danny, you're helping Disney out because
they are struggling here. So it's good to know you're
taking care of the people over there at Disney.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I only spent four hundred dollars on food yesterday.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Well here's a shocking revelation from the world of food.
Did not make foody fun the other day. But according
to a professor at Grandi University, University of Parma in Italy.
He says, tomato sauce on pizza is an American creation.
(05:56):
It is not Italian. This is a food historian and
this has caused major outrage in it in Italia.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
I've heard this before. Isn't it that they just crush
up tomato and put that on the bread, the flat bread? Yeah,
to a sauce, right, all right? So the story can
he is the guy from Parma University. How great is
it you go to Parma University? Imagine the food at Parma.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
University says He argued that the pizza rosa or red
pizza topping. The tomato sauce was founded when Italian immigrants
took advantage of their newfound ingredients on American soil to
improve it. And yet you know these people in it.
Wait a minute, though, you rat, bastard, what's wrong?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Okay, what an improvement it is? Though, Like, can you
imagine a margarita pizza but with no sauce?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yeah? Yeah, well, I don't care who invented it is
delicious and who the hell cares? You know, I doesn't matter.
According to this book, though, which promises to debonk lies
and miss about Italian cuisine, said that not only did
tomatoes originate in the New World, but so did tomato sauce.
(07:07):
Italians only discovering tomato sauce in abundant equalities when they
started immigrating to the US in the nineteenth century. So
that's the argument. Well, good, I'm glad they immigrated because
the pizza is delicious. It's freaking wonderful. Way to go,
right way to go.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
And we were talking about mid level restaurants the other day.
I wish there was a better option than Olive Garden.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yeah, do they still have the all you can eat
the pasta?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I don't know. I haven't been there in a while.
My wife refuses to go there. She hates their food.
She says she feels sick anytime she eats there. But
if you're a sponsor right now, we'll go again if
you give us a free certificate.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
But we still need Arby's to sign up. Yeah, we'll
both go to art. We'll do a show from Arby's
if they buy advertising. It's the Burger King effect with
them though. Ben years ago, I went and the food
was pretty decent quality, But then year by year it
seems like the quality of the ingredients has gone down
and down and down. They're doing the limbo How low
can you get? Yeah, how low can you go? What
(08:09):
else pops up here before we get to the mail bag.
I'm sure this came up on Covino and Rich The
woman who took a corpse?
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Oh yeah into the bank.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
We had a good laugh about this.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
One Weekend at Bernie's becomes Reality.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Weekend at Bernie's too, because in that sequel they actually
went to the bank to get some of his money out.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
How do you end up in a position in life
where you think you can get away with that?
Speaker 4 (08:31):
It was only thirty four hundred dollars, not thirty four thousand,
not three hundred and forty thousand, thirty four hundred.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yeah. So if you didn't see the story, it's a
bit ghoulish um. But that happened. It's on video. It happened.
I saw it. I saw the video, Danny. It happened.
A woman takes a corpse into a bank trying to
scam some money. Was caught on camera transporting the cadaver
in a taxi yeah uncle, yeah, and even getting the
(09:00):
the cabby to help move the body.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
And so the teller was like, what's wrong with your uncle?
And she's like, uncle, sit up. If you don't seem better,
I'm gonna have to take you to the hospital. Oh
my god. Yeah, that is bad acting. She was horrible.
The head kept falling back, and they knew what she
was up to. She in trouble for embezzlement, theft, yeah,
(09:26):
one other charge.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
So yeah, I think you can't do that with bodies.
I think you no move bodies around your I don't
know what the term is. There's a legal term for that.
I forget what it is, but you can't.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Yeah, no, she's gonna be doing some jail time.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
So I thought of you when I saw this story
this week, and I thought of Klay Travis, the circus
elephant that escaped and just was casually walking.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Yes, I saw some tweets on this that were hashtag
animal Thunderdome.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Butte Montana and a traveling world Sir Jordan Worlds. I
didn't know they still had circuses with animals. I thought
the Wokester's got rid all that there are. That to
me is the most amazing part of the story. They're
still circus animals.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
There's a couple of companies still trying to do circus stuff.
I've seen one pop up in Burbank a couple of
years ago.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
In Burbanka. Yeah, okay, when I was in San Jose,
I was going to the Costco to get gas wedding
weekend and I drove by they had a circus, but
not one with animals. They had the human circus. The
hardest part is getting it up that was out of
context audio.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
I know there's somewhere they're just trying to stick to
horses and the safer animals where they don't think the
activist groups will come after them. But it's pretty awesome.
That they had elephants at this one.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, that's pretty pretty bananas. So yeah, residents of Butte
Montane they saw an adult female elephant escaped from the
holding area and was traveling around. Just there's plenty of
cell phone vide everyone immediately the first thing you do,
you'd think you'd try to protect yourself. No, you pull
(11:05):
out your phone and you're like, this is going to
go viral, this is gonna go And then the police
had to shut down the streets. And but then the
funniest is the guy from the circus the elephant keepers
like running after the elephant. It's like a like a
nineteen eighties comedy.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
It is. It's like a Herbie the love Bug.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Just just absolutely you can.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Just imagine you're driving down the road with your wife
and out of know her, she's like elephant, Like dabe
if I've been dieting?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Uh, all right, last, the last one in the pop
goes the culture. Then we'll get to the mail bag
and this one from just human activity. How many times
did you see the story? How many times a day
do Americans check their phones? No? I didn't see this, Okay, good,
So how many times a day on average they've done
the research on this. Dude, your average American check their phone.
(11:58):
Do do do do Do Do Do do.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Be it's gotta be two hundred times two hundred and
twelve times two.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Hundred twelve times. That's a lot. Two hundred twelve is
a lot. You actually went over, Danny, So you do
not win the showcase showdown, you do. I'm sorry you
don't win, loser, but it's I thought it was still
a high number. One hundred and forty four times a
day Americans check their phone. So I did some malord
math on this, and if my math is corrected, now,
(12:28):
I'm not average. I only sleep four or five hours
a day, but most people sleep eight hours a day.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
So yeah, I didn't take that into consideration. Yes, we're
in radio.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, we we're up a little more than that. We
we're definitely over two unto times a day. But if
you if you are eight hours a day asleep, you're
awake sixteen hours. So let's do the math. So if
you're wake sixteen hours, one hundred and forty four times
a day, you're checking your phone over sixteen hours. That
is eighteen times every hour that you're checking your phone.
(12:56):
Take that for data. Put that in your pipe and
smoke it. Okay, who says you don't learn anything from
a dopey weekend podcast?
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Come on?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, eighteen times every hour? Oh you're you're awake. I
did think it was more than that, But when you
factor in the sleep thing, it makes sense.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Yeah, we forgot that normal people's sleep.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah, before nineteen ninety two, people did not do that
because smartphones did not exist. You were not pulling out
your flip phone to check it eighteen times.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
So now what did people do back then? One hundred
and forty two different times? Play pocket pool.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Actually talk to each other, which is very uncomfortable, and
pocket pool also Yeah, Now, how often, Danny do you
have your significant of other say, phones down, phone free? Nope, nope,
get off your phone.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
She doesn't say anything, but it's a look. Yeah, so
I'll see this look and I'll be like, and now
I'm proactive. I'll put the phone away before I enter
the living room.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
It's a veteran move. So I always have the well,
I got to do it for work thing, which but
it's true work. It doesn't work on the weekends.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
There's times where I got to go back to my phone.
To check that the podcast has loaded and has you know,
shot out to the world, or I have to do
this or this description or there. There's stuff we do
have to do for work with social media, et cetera.
So it is hard with what we do for a
living to just always have the phone down. Yeah on
the week exactly.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
But you know, I've had my wife confiscate my phone.
I've had that on the way well I believe that, Yeah,
Jesus grabbed it. No, no, you're not on your phone
though it can't. Then I'm like, okay, but one hundred
and forty four times a day.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
According to that little Hawaii trip we took before it,
my wife said, and on this trip, we're not going
to have our phones out whatsoever. And I'm like, you
made that rule up, not me. Ze.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
This was done the study by the University of California, Irvine.
Shout out ant eaters, and the professor wrote a book
about attention span and how to refocus when distracted.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Let's get to the mail bag, mail bag, mail bag,
mail bag, Go hio A. It's but ohioal an amazing
(15:26):
song this week on the Overnight Show about Lorraine Ah
and the first Loraina theme song has been produced by
Malard Militia member.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Yeah, she's a made member now.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
She's part of the club. We we got to let
her know where all the Mather theme music is. Though
she hasn't found the archive of the old songs because
we got to keep those on the air, and I'm
not sure where they are. But we'll. I figure once
we get more Loraina songs, she'll want to play them,
so we'll put them in the.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
And this is exactly, And I think a lot of
the other ones are dated anyways, because they'd have like
Roberto's name or my name, or other producers' names.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
There's so many different people. But they're classics. You know
they're classics.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
You are the pummeler of producers.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yeah, but they are classic songs and it brings back
good memories, fond memories. We love the Danny ge era
on the show. We love the Jake Warner era, Roberto era.
The I wouldn't say the Iowa Sam era because I
didn't last that long, but you know, stopover, you know the.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Temple Iowa that was a sneeze.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yeah, pretty much pretty much anyway. First one up, Steve

I don't eat it during this Lorraina, God bless her.
She's got good genetics.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Oh and she's got a sweet tooth like you wouldn't believe.
I've seen her knock out like four donuts during one show.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yeah, and she doesn't get any weight. I'm like I
told her, I said, listen, Lora, I will I will
change the way I consume food and the way you
consume food for like a couple of weeks. I'll eat
whatever I want. You can. You'll definitely gain weight. Definitely
gain weight if you follow.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
It's the most annoying thing when you hear someone say
I really need to gain like twelve pounds. Yeah, what
a problem to have. Holy crap.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, So to answer your question, Steve, I don't know
what you're from Omaha.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Is there a regional food dish in Omaha. Maybe, Steve,
you can let us know it's popular and we'll look
it up. I don't know any foods Omaha steaks, but
that's still I don't think steaks generated in Omaha. So
I don't know what, but I ask your question, No,
I'd love to try as many different things as we can.
We've had a really good run. We've got the stuff
from BUCkies, which was really cool. We got all the
(18:11):
treats from BUCkies the truck stop.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Not only are they famous for their steaks, they are
well known for their Uben sandwich.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Oh okay, I like a Ruben sandwich. Doesn't transport very
well though, the Ruben. I don't think you can send
that in the mail. It would taste very good. But yes,
see it's kind of neat. It's fun that we have
a big stick and we're on a lot of different places,
and I would love to try as many different foods
as I can from different parts of the country, places
I haven't been before. And if you know of anything
(18:39):
there in Omaha, let us know, Steve or if you're
in a different town.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Says, when you're in Omaha, try a Bob's Breakfast box
from Bob's Donuts.

masshole and you'll take that whatever. All right, Mike and Fullerton,
He writes and says, hello, Ben and Danny g Did
I miss the cutoff last week? Or were my twenty
six fun facts about Fullerton not fun enough? Well? We
(20:36):
actually we saved that Mike was such an amazing email,
we saved it for this week. He says, what are
your least what are your guys least favorite games to
play in a casino, whether it be boring or one
you've just had the worst luck at at playing, he says,
And he says, ps the original NBA team of the
fifth hour. The Clippers start their title hunt today. Let's
(20:59):
go Clippers. Here we go Clipper Nation. Yeah, okay, hey.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
I'll give your Clippers some credit. Bend because I actually
heard you praising the Lakers on the airline.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I did not. I did not praise gentlemen.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
No, I did not have chairs and applause the podcast
right now, it's a lot of time. Ever on Fox
Sports Radio network, Ben Mallard, there's a promo running. I
couldn't believe what I was hearing.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
No.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
I thought it was Ai, but it wasn't. It was
Mallard praising the Lakers for taking the Nuggets head on.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
That was out of context audio. I merely stated. I
am annoyed as a consumer of the industrial complex of sports.
It annoys me when teams try to jerry mander the
playoff matchups and I'm.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Not really hearing any of this right now. I heard
the promo. That's all I need to do. Well, you
can you hear? You heard what you want to hear.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
And let me point out, by the way, I I
only gave Marshall credit.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Because win if one Zion one game shut up, if Zion.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Had not fallen into a ball of uh.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Oh, still would have hit that three in front of them.
You still would have had the steal with the Middle.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Orleans was a was a freight train. They were.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
They were not going to be stopped their way right
to the Nuggets.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Nah. But the Lakers were trying to give the game
back to New Orleans. But when Zion got hurt that day,
and that's fine, Listen, they're gonna lose to Denver. But
I like the fact that they did not bow down
the New Orleans. And I'm annoyed. But as I'm very consistent,
Danny Way comes to that, I'm very consistent. Then when
it comes back on me.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Now.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Mike also did mention the twenty six fund facts about Fullerton,
a city he lives in. Why else, but he said
that he says, if you liked Ozzie WA's fifty fun
facts about Australia, you're gonna love these twenty six fun
facts about Fullerton if you're unfamiliar Fullerton. There's cal State Fullerton,
the Titans, which is where I believe Cedric Seballs did
he go?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
There?

Speaker 4 (23:02):
To Ventura College?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Ventur He didn't go to He didn't go to cal.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
State food I'm not sure maybe, but I know he
did go to Ventura College for a little while.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Yeah, and worked at Fox Sports Radio for a little bit.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
And had quite a trip to Lake Cavasu back in
the day.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, am I, Yeah, he did go to We're both
right to both? Yeah, one of dunk contest blindfold.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
To check out our Cedricbalos knowledge. That's deep knowledge.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
That is intense knowledge of Cedricos who played for the
Lakers and they were terrible.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Let's do Cedric the entertainer. Now where did he go
to the grave?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
But did he die?
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Now?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
All right?
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Stop trying to kill celebrities.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
All right? So fun facts about Fullerton City in Orange
County says, uh, moving ahead, but keeping it old school.
Fullerton has been redesigning the downtown for the past twenty years.
Is that a fun fact? I don't think history geeks
haven't made Fullertin was incorporated in nineteen oh four. Is
the OC's fourth oldest city. Is that a fun fact?
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Probably not.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Free parking everywhere? That's a fun fact.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Free parking, that's a cheap o fact.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Fullerton is second to one in smarts. Fullertin comes in
behind only Irvine and being the smartest community in the
entire state of California. All right, what else I'm gonna
read all these or else we will have no one listening.
Oh these are terrible.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Fast forward to the last one.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
We move ahead in the broadcast. Fullerton is Titan Nation
cal State Fullerton. Let's see your downtown is overrun by trees.
That's a fun fact. Oh my god, uh, all aboard
there's an Amtrak they're promoting. There's an Amtrak train station.
(24:57):
That's hilarious. Okay, we're good, but thank you.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Yeah, fun fact in my city. Did you see how
they laid down the first beam on the Wildlife Overpass?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I did see that. I was at the gym and
they had on the channel seven ABC news. They had
on the gym. They said the highway was closed, but
they had put the first leg down. Yeah, very excited
about it.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
How about this for human nature. Now in the afternoon
when I'm driving in for the Covino and Rich show,
when I'm going underneath of it, everybody in front of
me is slowing down for some reason. Now, before that
first beam was laid down, nobody was slowing down past that.
There's you know, there's always been construction there going on
for a while now, but everybody just zoomed on by.
(25:41):
Now that there's something above your head, for some reason,
people are slowing down again.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I'll go back to what we said in a previous
episode of the podcast. Do they realize, like the animal
rights activists, I'm all for supporting animals, but did they
realize the animals don't realize that's just for them, and
they're still gonna do what they want to do because
they're freaking animals. But you know, I digressh Wacky Mackie.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
That one beam snakes are going to be able to
get across the freeway right now, so we're excited.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Yeah, that's big for them. Wacky MACKI from the Land
of Tobaki. Uh, something tells me that's not his real name.
He says, Ben and Danny g if you guys were
given a mystery trip for one week, all expenses paid.
But the catches you didn't know where you were going.
You could only take one bag of clothes with you.
Would you go?
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Uh yeah, free trip?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Yeah, but if they take you to like Pyongyang or something, you.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Know, it's like I mean, he says, mystery.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
That doesn't necessarily mean good mystery trip. You don't know,
you might end up in bagdad or something.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Your problem.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Uh yeah, Ukraine with Jay Scoop.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Bob Doyers Dodger babool. When I first started at Fox
Sports Radio, there was a guy that was working there
who did movie trailers, and that back in I don't
think it's like this anymore. Back in the day, if
you voiced movie trailers, that's all you did.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Oh yeah, you worked.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
For like half an hour day to save your voice.
They drove you around in limousines and the guy was
giving me the whole rap about like that was the
if you were a voiceover guy, that was the git
you wanted to make.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
And in my mid twenties, I did one movie voiceover
and they gave me a fifteen hundred dollars check. I
thought I hit the lotto. That's great. I never did
another one.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Kevin was a chevi lived career.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Yeah, but it was yeah, yeah, like me doing a
Dodger talk Kevin in Kansas, right, sid he says, Hey, guys,
Ben one night this past week, you said shoulder surgery.
You said it was with such ease. But every time
I say it, it comes out soldier surgery unless I
back off the speaking speed a lot with talking as
(28:48):
your profession. Is there any phrase that makes you put
on the brakes just so you say it correctly? Yeah,
free throws. I usually screwed out of Joe's.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
How about this one? What's oll restbrook? Uh?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, that's a that's a tough one. I've had nights, Kevin.
You've probably heard this where I mispronounced the word milk
one night.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
What do you mean one night? You do that every
time you say that one?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Nah, that's not so, that's it. You're embellishing every once
in a while. As you know, Kevin, a fellow wordsman.
When you use words a lot, occasionally, sometimes things kind
of slip past the goaltender that shouldn't slip past the goaltender,
and it keeps us human. Though to error is very
important part of life, Danny, You make mistake, So what
(29:34):
about you?
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Danny?
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Andy phrases that don't come out of the mouth the
right way.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
You know, there's a word I said two different times,
two different weeks on CNR, and it didn't come out
the right way. I'll have to remember the word.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Well, Danny, as you know, to error is human.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Yeah, true. But you know what, when you stammer and
stutter on national radio, you do think about it, Like, God,
I sounded like such an idiot. An idiot when it happens,
it sticks in your craw for a little while.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Well, that's one of the reasons I don't like to
go back and listen to the show.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Yeah, like misspeaking. We all do that, pausing or stuttering
on a word a little bit. That's okay, But when
you sound like you have a you know, a stuttering problem,
it's it's embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Unless you're stuttering John on the nineteen nineties Howard Stern Show,
then it's okay. But outside of.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
That, Yeah, what a great job he had, by the way,
Yeah that was that was solid.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
And then he had a falling out. I think he
still does a podcast, But well, he did get a
great job leaving the Stern Show. He was the voice
of the Tonight Show remember Jay Leno hired him to
be the voice guy for the freaking Tonight Show back
when people actually watched the Tonight Show.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I just thought of the word amicable. Amicable. I said
it fast and amicable.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
There are nights I've done monologues about a player that
I don't really pronounce their name quite and what properly
and what I'll end up doing, and we've all done
this now. We didn't have this option when I got
into radio. You go on YouTube and you keep watching
to hear the person's name over and over so you
can learn by listening to it, you know, and it's
like you feel like such an idiot. You're like, oh
(31:11):
my god, this is so bad. Like I did a
monologue about it the Cubs Japanese pitcher they just added
this year, and I didn't really pronounce the name right,
and I kept watching. I was watching a clip of
him pitching on YouTube over and over again to try
to get it, and I had it in my head
and then I had a brain fart in the middle
(31:31):
of the monologue and I was like, oh, it's so.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Bad, yeah, or or like it's hard to not say
Yamamoto without saying it, like with an Asian accent on
the air. I caught myself. I was like Yamamoto.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Racist ol from the app store rights, he says, gentlemen,
where is all the Rby's hate rooted? He says, it's
a fast food connoisseur. There are truly these are truly
trying times, and all steps necessary must be taken in
order to eat out on rare and appropriate occasions. So
(32:10):
I have downloaded downloaded an app in order to get
a freebie once in a while. Is it really the
end of the world. I was forced by Danny G
to do some market research and came on to the
conclusion that Arby's can only be consumed by the common
man if you are willing to go off the deal menu,
(32:31):
which is extremely limited to three items. Secondly, my local
establishment has happy hours and gives out paper coupons, which
are sometimes very good, he says. Also, don't sleep on
the Arby's chicken sandwich. It is sold a solid sandwich,
says alf and he sent a bunch of screenshots of coupons.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
He can't be the real alf. I feel like this
is a plant by the mafia. What a job running alf?
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Impost?
Speaker 4 (32:57):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Yeah, Well, if I respect a man. You're much like myself.
I think we're actually a lot alike. You listen to
the show a lot, you kind of know what I'm like.
I'm assuming you're following many of my my Michigas things
that I do.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
So yeah, if man of the people who sits up
in skyboxes at sporting events.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Not anymore, and that's I so Tani came to town.
Those days are over. Man, I am really the man
of the people. I'm watching on TV, Tommy, That's what
I'm That's what I'm doing. I saw that Wendy. Speaking
of do we mention this? I don't even mentioned this
in Footy Fight. Maybe last week we did. Wendy's. They're
offering free fries to customers every Friday for the remainder
(33:36):
of the year, so if there's a deal.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
Their fries stink.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Now, are they bad?
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Yeah, they're not bad, but they're just not awesome in
the way they used to be. Serve them mostly cold. Yeah,
they used to be good back in the nineties.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Well, nothing is truly ever free, so they are charging.
There's a little stipulation here. They said you have to
make a purchase on the in app to receive the order,
So any size. I love when they do the any
size fries. Who's ordering the small fries? Right? It's like
what McDonald's had any drink for a dollar? Well, who's
(34:11):
ordering the.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Small It's like when the Dodgers too get a certain
amount of strikeouts in a game, then you can get
a free burger the next day at a Jack in
the box, But you have to purchase a large drink
to get the free burger. You know how much of
large drink is? It's a rip?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Well, that's true, blind Jake writes in he says, the
wife and I will be visiting the north Woods middle
of July. We are currently looking at stopping at the
part the packing district and spending time in Huntington Beach.
Which places should we make sure to visit?
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Is that by the Lax parking lot you visited?
Speaker 1 (34:51):
He blew me off at a hotel near Lax. He says,
which places should we avoid? Also any places my guide
dog would love to visit? Well, Jake, if you call
the show a few times, I don't think I can
let anyone in anymore unless they call the show. Because
Coop got freaked out because we had some people in
(35:11):
that didn't call the show and he got all all freaky.
But yeah, what to do in the OC? I do
like the Packing District that's actually an Anaheim, Danny, the Yeah,
they have this place. My favorite poutine place is in
the Packing District. It's called the Croft. I highly recommend
if you're in the poutine best, I say best, better
than all the other poutine I've had outside of Wisconsin
(35:32):
is the Croft. I love that they have the fried
chicken poutine, which is really really good. You know downtown
Disney you probably know about that. There's a place in
Irvine called the Spectrum, which I know you've been to, Danny.
I've been there. It's big. It's a shopping center. It's
like the Disneyland of shopping centers. Have a ferris wheel,
they have Merry go Round. It's pretty crazy.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
Yeah. And then drive south. Go to San Clemente if
you want like a beautiful little beach town.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yeah, go to Mission San Juan Capistrano if you want
to take the wife there and your dog and all that.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Take your girl to get some wine into Mechula.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
I like the Newport Peninsula, which is beautiful Newport Beach,
you know, old, old Town Orange is a nice place
to walk around. There's some old shops.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
And yeah, what nuts. Get some Mexican food in old
town San Diego.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Or if you you want to be adventurous, go to
Santa Ana.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
But do it during the day.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Don't go at night. I'd go during the day, and
you know you have your dog.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
True story. My wife and I were in Santa Anna.
We had to go into the walmart there to get
some diapers for baby CoA. Had no choice, it was
an emergency. There was a homeless guy sitting on a
big wheel smoking a cigar with all his belongings around.
Is a big wheel man, a real big wheel outside
the front of the walmart.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Welcome to California. You'll get a kick out of this.
This week, we had a guy call in from Maine
who had been in jail for five years, and I
was like, what are you in jail for? And he
didn't really want to say, and then he said something like,
well it was like kind of theft.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
Still.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
You know what My advice to him was, Danny, I
told him, I said, move to California. We don't we
don't arrest criminals for for theft. In California. You can
steal whatever you want. They don't care. They'll let you
right back out to steal some more stuff. And he's like, well, yeah,
in Maine they put you in jail.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
The frown on it.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
They don't they don't like it.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
There.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Uh, let's see, Reggie from the basis, what if you
could teleport guys but you would arrive naked, would you
do it? Uh? No?
Speaker 4 (37:41):
Yeah, well, I mean where am I teleporting to? If
it was somewhere tropical, you're still naked, Okay, I'd be warm.
On the other side, you're gonna put it.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
You put it like something covering up your twigging barrier.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Uh Steve Wright's hands, Jill, you get more rotation with
two hands. Ben, I heard you complaining about the carpeting
being cleaned the other night. Was it really that bad?
Speaker 4 (38:10):
I saw this email, I didn't I didn't get.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
The I didn't get the I didn't get the email,
so I didn't know about it.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
The email was the evening of the carpet cleaning, and
it started out sorry for the late notice.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Yeah. So I have a as I think Eddie called
me the sensitive sniffer. My nose is pretty sensitive to
certain smells. And I did not realize they were cleaning
the carpet. I didn't see the email. I don't check
the company email. So I got there. I get there
pretty early to get ready for the show. Finish up,
getting ready for the show, I should.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
Say, And you didn't get your spring bonus.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Yeah, right, So my nose starts kind of running a
little bit, right, starts running a little bit, and and
I see some weird people in the building that I
didn't really recognize, and then I noticed they had the
bigam carpet zamboni, and then I saw there's a sign
there and.
Speaker 4 (39:03):
All that, and.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Yeah, it really didn't mess with my sinuses. But here's
the funny thing. So they said they were going to
be cleaning the carpets from ten o'clock at night till
six in the morning. That's what That's how I interpreted.
Those guys were out of the building within an hour.
They had done the whole building, but they did not
do the studio because they wanted to come in there
(39:27):
while I was on the air, and I was like, no,
we can't have that because it was going to mess up.
We would have heard the sound on the air.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
Did you ask if you could ride the carpet Samboni.
That would have been fun.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
I would have waved it everyone like I was on
the ice at the King's game.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
I would have waived it everybody.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
Last one on the mailbag, Barry rites in from South Carolina.
He says, but in Nashville this week, Yo, yo, Ma, Benny,
did you just ban Justin and Cincinnati from all the
game shows or is this a self imposed game show
ban from Justin? First of all, Barry, we have not
(40:02):
banned Justin from Cincinnati from the game shows. Justin I
heard Justin at one point was the most epic game
show contestant on the show. He then got passed. He
was poll axed by our friend from Brooklyn, Uncle Moe.
And Justin has just not called as often for the
(40:22):
game shows. We haven't banned him. I guess he wants
other people to play the game shows. But we put
him on every once in a while. But yeah, he
used to call for every game show. He was like
game show King of Whares, But not anymore. All right,
we'll get out on that, Danny. I will be back
tonight in the magic radio box, bloviating the overnight hours away,
(40:43):
having a grand time doing that. And we'll be here
all week long from eleven o'clock till three am on
the west and that's two am to six am Monday morning,
under the cover of the stars and cover of the darkness.
What do you got going on?
Speaker 4 (40:59):
Danny out Monday afternoon? Back on with Covino and Rich
two to four pm on the West side. That's five
to seven pm in beautiful Chicago, Illinois. Ben, I might
need to borrow five dollars for gas to get to
Sherman Oaks because my checking account was emptied this past
weekend at Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
Yeah, I recommend just hitch hiking. That's all you need
to do. It's go old school. I'm sure the wife
will be okay with that.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
I'll stand at the New Wildlife Overpass and hit your
ride right there. Yeah, the traffic is coming to a halt.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Just identify as a bear and you'll be fine. You'll
be good, all right. Hey, you have a wonderful day.
And hey, listen, we'll talk to you tonight. Get you
next time.
Speaker 4 (41:40):
