Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of
the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the rich
pill poppers in the penthouse. The Clearinghouse of Hot takes
break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben
(00:24):
Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, Happy Sunday,
another edition of the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and
Danny g Radio. As we dive into the mail bag,
(00:45):
they always say, please give us the mail. We need
the mail, and I'm like, well, come on, what's wrong
with that? But sometimes there's no mail. It happens. I'm
just trying to hit as many sound bites as I can. Oh, look,
Coop's over there, smoke weed, Yeah, right over you going
the back over there. That's that's nice. What else we
(01:05):
got here? Let's see really quick. I'm gonna add my
own Coop drop. I wish I could pull off those suits.
That's a good one. Classic. I think Eddie's playing Mario
Brothers over there. I think not anymore. I don't care.
I'm leaving goodbye. You're saying, can you please? I know
(01:26):
I can't. Okay. I think we're going to get some food,
some fast food over there. Interesting, So these are actual
layer or something. I have a toy. I gotta use
the the I got my toy. I gotta I gotta
play with it. How dare you, Danny? G Yeah, it
(01:50):
half is. I I know it's it's to be scary
right now. You know, everything will be okay. Calm down, Ralph,
everything will be okay. So to the third round, he ships,
He sits blank, my blank, and blank. You. I want
(02:11):
a mature guy now if you're new to the podcast, saying, hey,
I would like to get some shine on the podcast.
I would like to be podcast famous, and really, who
doesn't want that in their life? I think of the
bucket list things you want to accomplish before you check
out of this Mortal Coil, to be mentioned on a podcast. Now,
(02:31):
and not just any podcast, Danny, but this podcast. No, no, No,
don't play. This is a good podcast. It's impressive because
that means that tens of people look up to you,
at least ten. Yeah. I used to have eight people
who are up to ten now, so we've got double
digits that enjoy this show and even more now, Danny,
(02:54):
because if you look off out in the horizon, there
the Manu Ginobili market your childers aside. They're coming. You
can hear them to make you a little noise there,
there they are. They're they're attacking me, Daddy and your battleship. Yeah,
(03:15):
you're still coming. They won't stop, Daddy. You will kill Bill.
That's great, all right. So you can send your message
to us on Facebook, the Facebook page every Tuesday, sometimes
later in the day, sometimes the day, just checking a
couple of times during the day the show Facebook page
(03:36):
Ben Mallors Show, and I will post up there a
begging some kind of gift. I'll try to get you
to get your attention and have you post a message
on there. But if you don't want everyone else to
see your message, I get it. They're a private person.
I'm a private person toe. So you can send it
care of Real Fifth Hour at gmail dot com. That's
(03:59):
r E A L F I F th h h oh.
You are ill spell the whole thing at gmail dot com.
Put mail on the headline and we will use your message,
time permitting. In a future episode of the Fifth Hour
mail bag with myself, Ben and Danny. And before we
get started here, we have a rule on this, and
(04:21):
so let's strike up the band. We go to our
man Ohio owl. First message comes from our friend Tammy
in Montana. She says, Ben and Danny, g I have
to tell you that I had a Tommy's Chili dog
(04:43):
in Montana? Is that even possible? That just continues. A
friend of mine ordered dogs and chili from Tommy's for
a party. The chili dog was amazing. Do they have
tomm They don't have Tommy's in Montana? Do they? I'll
look it up, all right, let's just some due diligence
on that, some fact checking. Uh. Tammy says, I always
(05:04):
have some stupid question about driving, about a driving law.
To ask the cop when I get pulled over makes
the cops feel helpful to answer the question, and it works.
So she's talking about getting out of a ticket. Well,
it also helps, if let's be honest here, you know,
helps if you're a woman a little bit right on
(05:25):
the easy on the eyes. Am I wrong in saying that, Danny?
Is that? Is that a stereotype sexist? Open up the
blouse a little bit. The show off. Where did you
hear those stories? I might have watched that on a
movie back in the day. I don't what kind of
a movie. It was. Maybe an adult movie. I don't know.
But there is that. And and unlike Supreme Court justices,
(05:46):
I know what a woman is. I don't need to
have to ask. I don't have to ask your biologist, Danny.
I've I've mastered that. Tammy continues. She says, I'm disturbed
by a holier than now Helen's email, Helen says she
loves Ben. Tammy writes, but she wants Ben to take
over the morning time slot. I've heard prostitutes sleep in
(06:09):
the morning, so Helen wouldn't be able to listen to Ben.
She doesn't make sense. Wow, Helen's joke about rent was
very old and lame. Tammy rides, I don't pay rent
because I own my home, whereas Helen admitted that they
(06:30):
live in a camper, so if she wasn't so ugly,
she could earn more money at night and buy a house.
Signed Tammy in Montana. Tammy, she's got the flamethrowers out.
She's going for it. She is ready to go. Yeah,
(06:51):
absolutely on that man. Your battle stations all right. On
Tommy's website they only show California and Nevada. So is
it possible a that she had some rip off Tommy's.
Be somebody flew into Montana with Tommy's, which I can't
imagine would have tasted all that good, daddy, if it's
(07:12):
been in a plane for four hours or whatever it
is to fly to Montana. These are all great questions.
We'll have to wait till next week's mail bag to
get the answer. So Tammy, let us know, because we
are skeptical that you could get a Tommy's Chili dog
in Montana. Now there might have been a place called
Tommy's in Montana, but not the Tommies that we know. Yeah,
(07:36):
they spelled it t O M M I apostrophe s. Yeah,
something weird, some knockoff Tommy's. So the next mail we
go back to the the mail bags, right and Helen
and Stu from palmetto Bay, Florida. Right in there's Ben
and Danny ge Happy Sunday, Sunday Sunday, Screw the Oscars.
(07:56):
The email begins, Screw the Grammys. Let us first catch
up with the Bennies. Ben stew and I are the
most powerful couple in the Mallard militia. To protect your brand.
We get people fired, now, we get people elected. Given
what the Fifth Hour mailbag serves as the de facto
(08:19):
public town Square, Congratulations to Danny g Radio winner winner
and Brian too Short Finley shots fired, so more congratulations
for you. In sports, the email continues, looks like Major
League Baseball will continue to check pictures for sticky stuff.
(08:40):
Sounds like a perfect lateral career move for that Renter
bitch Tammy in Fontana. Uh. And the message continues. As
for food, We've been fortunate to eat at some very
some of the best steakhouses in America. Counter in Benjamin
(09:00):
on Team Well Done, Way to go, Helen and Stow.
I did a rant on the show this week. I
mentioned I like my steak butterfly cut well done. I
was attacked by Coop and Eddie and Roberto as a
heathen and that I should be put up on some
kind of court martial for that. So I'm not going
to cook on my knee. I leaned closer to you
(09:23):
on this. You and I don't see eye to eye
with Ranch, Nope, But if I knew the kitchen was
gonna undercook it a little bit. I would tell him
well done, because I would like it done. Yeah, exactly,
You're one step higher than me because I want to
see just a little bit of pink. But the people
that have red and blood and all that, they might
as well be cannibals. Damn right, you're You're just a
(09:45):
few steps behind Jeffrey Dahmer. That's how Dahmer started. He
started with bloody meat, and then he wanted a human meat.
And that's the next thing I like to wrestle with.
Uh So, the email continues. For us, Helen and stew Right,
no matter what could of beef we order, you just
add clarified butter, kosher salt, and pepper and we're happy. Yeah,
(10:10):
I'm right there with you. I'm right there with you.
They say, we've never had a chef complained that we
wanted our meat cooked beyond the standard medium range, even
while dining in the chef's kitchen. It's probably because Helen
Stewart high rollers are you. If you're a high roller,
you go into a stake place, they're not going to
give you a hard time. If you're Joe Schmo like me,
(10:31):
the overnight guy, the guy who was who was this asshole? Uh?
What the hell's he want? And I'm sure this past
week on your live show you talked about the onety
one dollar burger game we did and there well or
the twenty five thousand dollar burger at Braves Games. If
you want the real ring. Wow, what at least there's
(10:52):
a cage free egg on there? Very important. Yes, I've
always said when I spent a hundred and fifty one
dollar on a burger that I can make it the
house for five bucks, that I it's very important to
get the cage free egg. Okay. Uh, the message continues,
speaking of meat closure and outstanding social media video content.
(11:13):
Time for you to take that Tomahawks steak you've had
in your freezer for years and now unsafe to eat,
Put it in a steel drum in your backyard at
gasoline and ignite flames at night should be visible west
of the four oh five. Message sent Wow, that's pretty
just a good idea viral YouTube video, and the message
(11:39):
says in closing bend outstanding Laker monologue content and energy.
This week, You've heard the rumors started and questioned to
ask by Stu First, what are the Mallards sports book
odds that the Googleheim Baseball Management, owners of the Dodgers,
will purchase the Los Angeles US Lakers as well. Stu.
(12:03):
That is a nightmare that I have that the Lakers
will actually get somebody who knows what they're doing as
an owner and not Genie Buss and then then it's over.
But that's the family business. So that's that's that's Genie
Buss's identity as the Lakers owner, So I'd be surprised
if she sells it. And as a closet Lakers fan,
you would love that drama that's on HBO right now. No, no, no,
(12:26):
I'm looking forward to The Clipper Show. It's gonna be
on effects. Yeah, it's gonna have huge ratings, just like
their games and the massive ratings. I think you were
with me, Danny. We should be part of that. The
Ben Mather Show should be part of that Donald Sterring documentary.
Were you not there the night that Donald Sterling we
(12:47):
are ent sure called in to our show. It's wild
I swear that was him. Oh my god. It was
right in the middle all of the hullabalue where they
were about to take the Clippers away from him, and
this guy called I think he said he was in
Big Bear or something like that. Yeah, he said he
(13:08):
was a big Bear Lake. It sounded like he had
been tipping it back a little bit. Yeah yeah. So
this old guy who sounds just like Donald Sterling calls
up to defend Donald Sterling and take shots at the
l a times. For the rest of the show, you
kept saying it was great to have Donald Sterling on
earlier defending Donald Sterling. Yes, yes, yes, And that guy
(13:31):
never called again after that. That was the only time
he ever called. That was it that night? Wild wild wild? Right?
Matt in, Matt is next, No, I gotta play this
sounded I apologize for not not doing this. It's a
bad job by me. That's right. The mail is here,
all right. So Matt in Dallas fort Worth rights and
(13:54):
he says, man, I have to go horseback riding this
weekend with the wife for her birthday. But I've ever
been what advice do you have for me? Well, Matt,
I was fat and they don't let fat people on horses,
so I won't have any advice. I was when I
was little. I was on a horse when I was
when I was a kid, and I think the horse
(14:14):
talked back to me, shut the funk up. Okay, shut
the funk up. That's what the horse said to me. So, Danny,
do you have any experience you lived in Burbank. They
have horse trails in Burbank for my time in Burbank
when I worked there, So did you ever spend time
on a horse? They do, But those are next to
the Walt Disney studios there the where the riders and
cartoonists work, where the big protests have been going on,
(14:39):
you know. I mean, I was downtown for twelve years
and this shouldn't surprise you because I heard an owl
live in person for the first time this past week.
Never been on a horse before. Okay, so we have
failed you, man, You've failed you. We have failed your wife.
And chances are this is for the Sunday mail back,
so you probably are been on the horse by now.
(15:01):
By the time you hear this, you've already been on
the horse. So really we couldn't add anything to that anyway,
all right, I would just advise you not to piss
off the horse, not to be to mean to the horse,
not to fart in the horse's face, none of that,
and then you're in good shape. Yeah, from what I've
seen on shows like three, which is a great show.
(15:23):
By the way, no sudden movements, no sudden movements. And
if the horse runs off in the distance, let it
go right, just let it. Let them. Jennifer is next
up from Richmond of Virginia. Come back, it's time from now,
(15:47):
I'll call. I'll be visiting Virginia for the first time
ever in early May. I I'll be flying in there
and I have to drive down to North Carolina from there,
so I'll wave at your Jennifer, She says, high bed
and Danny ge. My question is inspired by all your
recent baking and cooking. Do you have a favorite kitchen
(16:09):
gadget or gizmo? Uh? Nothing in particular as far as
the baking stuff. I did get a well, I forget
what's it called. You put the flower in it and
you turn the wheel and it it Uh, I forget
what the name of it is. But oh the l star. No,
but I wanted to be in on the conversation exactly.
(16:32):
I understand. I think President Trump has something your friend Trump, Yeah,
that's what he has to say. But no, I just
love watching YouTube videos and then making my own version
of that and I got pretty lucky in a sad way.
My mom was a prolific Banker's one of the reasons
I do. I try to honor my mom's legacy. My
(16:53):
mom was amazing in the kitchen. Of course, everyone thinks
their mom is amazing in the kitchen, but my mom
was great, and she you know, there's a lot of
health problems, but she did a lot baking, and so
she was able to buy like all these gadgets and gizmos,
and they all sat here for a long time, you know,
in my dad's house. And then when he passed away
(17:17):
in early uh, you know, I inherited a lot of stuff.
So it's all fine. The good thing about baking stuff
is a lot of that stuff will last forever well,
kind of like the cast iron, that kind of stuff.
So but I love it all. It's it's great. I
made some last weekend. I made eminem cookies and so
(17:39):
those came out pretty good. And the cool thing I've
learned it's all about presentation, Danny. It's all about the
present day. So I what I do is I put,
I make the doll and all that, and then right
before I'm about to put the cookies, the cookie doll
in the oven to bake. I strategically placed the M
and Amazon there so they look just like when you
go to the store. Yeah, so they looked just like that.
(18:02):
It's something that anyone with half a brain would do,
but for me, it's like a big accomplishment. Do you
watch the cooking competition shows that are on TV? No,
I don't really do that. My wife likes those a lot.
I haven't really gotten to that. I did. I did
see an interview with the guy that was on one
of those cooking shows, and they said how unrealistic it
is because you know, they used like one dish, will
(18:24):
throw it away using No, that it's not like real
life cooking where you have to wash all the dishes.
Somebody else washes the dishes for those people. Yeah, I
would recommend beat Bobby Flay. That's a good one, all right.
Pierre in Springfield, mass rights In says which superpower would
you choose? The ability to fly or to be invisible
(18:44):
whenever you want it? I think we've gotten a version
of this one before. Flying would be great. I'd be
worried about crashing. Invisibility. I feel like I've had that,
so I'd go back to that because I feel like
many points in my life I wish I was invisible
at some time, as I think I was invisible and
in the radio, Danny, we are invisible. All you can
(19:06):
hear is our voice, but you can't see us. Yeah,
and it wasn't an option there, but I would go
with the superman and his superhuman strength because you know,
just daily tasks like helping somebody with folding chairs. You
have got to be kidding me something like that. Or
if you have a job that's heavy labor, think about it, Ben,
(19:27):
you could just use a fingertip and boom, task is done. Yeah,
that that'd be nice. Uh. He also says Pierre in Springfield,
mass a friend of Alfie aliental Piner. He says, have
you made any progress in cutting a new ad for
the Fifth Hour podcast? It appears that your original Trusty
Sidekick promo has replaced the weight loss spot on the
(19:50):
weekday pods. Yeah. So I keep getting messages about this, Danny,
Is there anything we can do? Can we email somebody
already done? It is done. After those shows where we
joked about it and we had multiple listeners asked about it,
I sent an email to our boss and I got
a reply three weeks later. Because anything titled Ben Miller
(20:13):
it's replied to immediately highest urgency. It's just just just
ahead of Colin Cowhard, very similar. So three weeks later
he sent me a reply that said it's already been done.
I actually noticed that when I was listening to one
of the podcasts I had editing cut former co host
name out so that Ben didn't have to redo it.
(20:35):
Oh yeah, I was gonna say, because I don't remember
voicing over, I wouldn't mind voicing something over if you want,
we can make it all nice. Well, no, I'd like
to give you some some shine, give you a little
love and all that. I guess we could turn in
a new one. Yeah, yeah, if you want. How long
does it have to be? Do we know how long?
I will take a look at that. I believe it's
like around forty seconds. That's nothing for professionals. Come on,
(21:00):
I didn't even get to my point for about ten
minutes anyway, so I could do forty seconds, no problem. Uh.
He also says, Pierre, when are you gonna get Mikey
Adams on the Friday Pod? Well, he's on my list.
I have to coordinate with Mikey. Mike is a famous
radio guy in Boston who also is part of one
of the great TV bloopers on YouTube. He hosted a
(21:22):
sports show at night on a regional sports network in Boston.
And you know those those giant old school TV cameras
that were robotic, Yeah, like they're using the eighties and
the nineties. So one of these like started moving unexpectedly
(21:43):
towards Mikey and like it was a hilarious because he
gets attacked by the camera and it was really funny.
Mikey's got some amazing stories. Mikey Adams is the guy.
When I went to w e I and the first
time I ever went to E I, I was on
his show as a guest in studio and he had
a spread of Italian food in the studio. And Mikey's
(22:05):
producer told me that every night he had a different
restaurant cater the show. This guy, Yeah, and for free
of course, ghihim a little pop so and uh that
was great. But Mikey has tattoos on his ass of
the Orlando Magic and the New York Yankees. Now he's
not an Orlando Magic fan or a Yankee fan, but
(22:27):
he lost bets, and part of the bet was he
had to get the logo of those other teams on
his took us and and just to prove that he
was not phony, he pulled his pants down and showed
me his bear took us to show me the logos.
So he has the old Orlando Magic logo and the
(22:49):
the classic Yankee logo here alright, Next up we do
we go to a Mr. Luciano from Los Angeles. He says,
question for Ben and Danny, g I suppose you both
like baseball, And with that said, which opposing stadium would
you like to go and watch your favorite team play?
(23:09):
Keep up the great work? Anywhere you'd like to go,
Danny that you haven't been, Yeah, I would like to
go to Wrigley Yeah, and obviously would also like to
see Boston. Those are two. Yeah. I've been to Yankee Stadium.
I went one time to the old Yankee Stadium when
(23:31):
I was in New York for a radio conference, and
the atmosphere there was amazing. Went two strikes. The craft
starts getting into you don't get a lot of here
in Seattle. Man, I'd like to see a Mariner that ballparks.
I've been to Seattle. That's cool. I haven't been to
a Yankee or Mets game in New York since the
old stadiums I used to go. I want a lot
to the old Yankee Stadium, old Shase Stadium, and that's
(23:54):
like twenty years ago. I think they haven't had those
stadiums have been around a while now. The Yankees and
Mets stadiums have been there. Always want to go to Boston.
I always make a point to go to Finway. I've
been to Pittsburgh, but not in a game. I walked through.
They have a park in the outfield right near the
water there the the confluence of the two to make
(24:15):
the Ohio River. The Mahanga Hila butchered that and the
Allegheny right, isn't that it? And they formed the Ohio?
Thank you? That's the visual to me. The ones I've
been to. I hate to say this because enemy territory,
but the ballpark in San Francisco, I was just gonna say,
(24:36):
McCovey Cove is something else to see in person. And
then the food there is delicious. Yeah, and their fans
are our woes, So okay. If you know I'm serious
as a Dodgers fan, you know, I didn't have anybody
talking any kind of crap to me. It was real comfortable,
like it was my park. Well, part of the problem
(24:58):
with that is the some other dog your fans did
something so bad that the Giant fans are scared to
death when they see a Dodger logo. But but no,
I've I've had fun times. I haven't been too many
games in San Francisco. But it's tough part of San Francisco.
That's not a good area where that ballpark is. It's
all you don't want to park your car there because
when you come back, they'll be glass all over the
street and then you're going through your You're lucky if
(25:19):
your car is there when you get back with just
a broken window. But San Francisco, my favorite ball finway
is awesome Visually. It's not designed for tall people like me,
fat people. It's designed for people that were there in
the early nineteen hundreds when it was made. I've been
to Wrigley. I haven't been there since they renovated. I
heard it's a lot different. I'm gonna be in Chicago
(25:40):
also my global tour, so when I'm in Chicago, I'll
have to stop by Wrigley. I don't know that. I
think the Cubs are playing the White Sox. Actually, when
I'm gonna be there, is Comiskey still there? Oh yeah, yeah,
I'm not going to the South side of Chicago. I know,
I know, I've I've watched the news enough to Boy,
you don't want to make a wrong turn on the
(26:02):
south side of Chicago. You don't want to do that. No, no, no,
don't go to a subway late at night. Yeah, you
want to stay away from that. So Boston, Pittsburgh, San Francisco. Yeah,
I've Dodger Stadium too, it's on there. I thought you
were gonna say that the Marlins Ballpark in Miami, and
I meant subway the sandwich place, not the actual subway. Yeah. Yeah.
(26:25):
Is there a new like state of the art that's
comparable to like so far or Allegiance. What's the newest
baseball stadium in America? Well, the one in Texas, the
One Man Yeah, that's right, years ago. But it looks weird.
It looks like an outdoor barbecue from from far away,
it is a strange shape. Yeah, I've never been a
(26:47):
Canon Yards that's been around a long time. The oral
is blow cam in yards is because of how big
of a bo Jackson fan I was as a kid.
I guess seeing the Royals play in person would be great. Yeah,
in there, that's nice. They have a really cool complex
in Kansas City. They have Arrowhead Stadium on one side,
there's a big giant parking lot, and then the Royals
(27:08):
play across the way there. Royals having their problems on
the road. I'm Ben Mallick and that I've never been
there because they don't let media go. I've been banned, man,
I've been canceled by the angels in jail and a
radio guy survive anymore? What's wrong with you people? That's
(27:31):
not very heavenly from the angels? Yeah, unbelievable, man, that
is insane. All right, let's see who is next year.
Hold on a second. Got to type this in because
you know, something happened with my sound effect machine and
a type of code in God forbid, I don't play
(27:54):
the proper sound bite. Then it goes to hell. It's back.
J In Duluth writes in on the mail bag and
he says, hey, man, this is a sporting question. He says,
instead of an NFL and the NFL having a Pro
Bowl that nobody watches. How about the two teams with
the worst record play for the first pick in the draft.
(28:16):
At least the players would have something to play for
and maybe try to tackle the guy with the ball.
Thank you for having the greatest show on the radio.
Listen every day all four hours. God love you, God
bless you. J Thank you for that. Mazeltov. Uh So
this has been bandied about in the past. I've heard
something like this. I asked you about this in February.
(28:37):
That's where I heard it from. What would the Union
ever sign off on something like? Probably not, but it's
great for us to dream about. Yeah, it would be
great fourth quarter, especially if there's some hotshot quarterback the
next manning that's there to annoy me the exactly if
it was a clear number one selection, the prize of
(28:59):
the d raft and everybody was salivating and tanking, Yeah,
that would be wonderful. Well, then it would create that
awkward situation where if you're the quarterback of the team
and you try to win the game, your the move
to get your replacement, but you probably know you're gonna
be replaced anyways, So aren't you trying to put good
(29:19):
tape together to get another job. That's one way to
to look at it. And oh man, something needs to
change with that game though. Yeah, all right, what is
next year? Or who is next? I should be saying
I got mail? Yea, I got mail, yea. Alright, Kevin
(29:40):
in Kansas writes, and he says, you're ben in, Danny,
g This weekend in our high school is our high
school prom is our high school prom. He says. I'm
a teacher slash sponsors, so that means help with decorating
and watching over the dance. Any prom memories or stories
you'd like to share, Thanks, guys, that's Kevin and kids. Well,
(30:01):
I never went to my problem, so I haven't known stories.
The prom always reminded me of what a loser I
was with women and how women found me repulsive when
I was in school. So the idea of the prom
was just salt in an open wound, and so all
the cool kids. It was a place where the cool
kids to go, the popular kids to go, and guys
(30:22):
like me and not so much. I was over there
and I was at my own horn. I was I
was doing that on the side there. What about you, Danny?
You a prom guy? We've talked about this before. I
feel like it's come up on the show. Well, first
of all, shouts out to our teacher there. All teachers
should get raises across the board across the country, and
so should overnight radio people. Yeah, I agree with that too.
(30:45):
H As far as the problem, I had a date.
I had a girl that wanted to go with me.
My mom fought it tooth and nail. She did not
let me or my older brother go to the prom
because of what she called drugs and fornication. And my
mom still is very religious, so she kept us away
(31:05):
from girls as long as she could. And she said,
as soon as you're not under my roof, do you do?
What you do is but we're condom please, but you're
gonna date, but not under my roof. And so I
didn't have my first official girlfriend the day after I
left my mom's house. So there were girls that I
could talk to and get away with hanging out with
that school, but I couldn't bring him to my house ever,
(31:28):
and I couldn't talk to my mom about it. It
all had to be in secrecy, and the moment that
you had your freedom all of a sudden, Dandy g radio. Hello, ladies,
it's dandy g You know, I wish I could. I
wish I could brag about that and say that and
if I wanted to be a whore at the time,
(31:48):
I guess I could have been, but I was so
scared of aids and and being shot down by a
bolt of lightning out of God's hand. The first time
I ever had sex, I thought I was gonna die afterwards. Yeah, well,
it's funny because my my mom also it was not
obviously different religion, but it was. I felt guilty. I
(32:10):
felt the Jewish guilt. I was like, what have I
done here? I'm a monster? You know. I was like,
it was always easier having makeout sessions with the first
girlfriend and doing fun stuff and all that, but when
it came to the actual you know, you know, I
felt that I felt guilty afterwards. I felt like my
(32:32):
mom had a hidden you know, spy somewhere and she
was gonna get back to her. Yeah. I was the
same way. I never and I had girlfriends, said, you know,
not many, but I never took any home until the
one I married, because I was convinced it was gonna
be a My mom would not approve of that so
like it was a big deal anyway. No trauma there,
(32:54):
thanks parents. Yes, not not in the least. Chris and
Marre Coca to Iowa writes, and he is, if you
could travel to a distant populated planet and could only
tell the inhabitants one thing about the people on Earth,
what would it be? Also, go Rate is, oh yeah,
(33:15):
rate in nation checking in. So what would you tell somebody? Well,
would you be able to communicate with them? That would
That would obviously the first thing I just assume you could.
I would say humans are complicated. Humans are complicated. That's
(33:36):
that's the word that would sum up human beings. I
did see this week, NASA. Did you see this the
other day? NASA. I was gonna get through this on
the show, and I was gonna honor art Bell. I
never got to it. NASA says they're going to broadcast
messages out into deep space to aliens, hoping to make contact.
They want to make first contact. Also read an article
(33:57):
about how they want to shoot images of naked humans
out into space. Really yeah, it sounds like something that
the porno people would do. I don't know what that's
all about. I did not see that. Yes, yeah, it's
not like giving blood. Do you get money? Do you
get a cookie? Now? Are these gonna be real normal
(34:19):
looking humans like, you know, kind of a fuggy woman
and a big morning show in l A that I
heard talking about this story. That's what they were debating.
Should it be average looking humans or should it be
the cannon barbies of our Hollywood? No? No, because you
can't send a beautiful, jaw dropping woman's photo out in
(34:40):
space because they're gonna get here. They're gonna be like,
wait a minute, that's false advertising. These people blow up
the planet. That's like the girls with the high camera angles.
Oh yeah, yeah, you wanna. I want to start a diet, Danny.
We used to talk about and when you're doing TINDERRONI
tips you want to start a diet for women and men?
Here's what? Did you extend your arm all the way
(35:02):
up like this. You'll lose twenty pounds immediately, just like that.
Pounds of fat will vanish. The camera just needs to
be looking down at the canyon between the two booms. Yes,
and everything else looks slim after that. Yeah, I get
the attention, absolutely correct on that. What would you say, Danny,
(35:22):
if you could talk to a far away planet. You know,
it's funny that this question comes up this week because
an administrator that I work with, it was like Wednesday
or Thursday this past week. He was talking to me
out on the campus. He was talking about something going
on with his parents old house, and he had an
aunt that was sick and a company was trying to
(35:44):
take advantage of his aunt because she's in poor health.
And he made a deep statement after that. He was like,
you know what, Danny, it's like what my dad always said,
people are ship Unfortunately what I would say, people are people. Yeah,
(36:06):
there's a lot of there's a lot of too faced
people out there. It does, it does happen, all right.
That's why a lot of us love animals as much
as we do. Yeah, I bet animals are probably two faced. Two.
My dog Bell is probably just such a loser, you know.
But I can't hear a talk, so I don't know that.
You know, we just don't know their inner thoughts. But
they're talking to us in their mind exactly. That's what
(36:29):
I'm saying. Anyway. It is an interesting that's a good
question by Chris. I like, it's unique. We haven't gotten
that one before, so good job by you come back paying.
It's sun from now call Mark in Ottawa. Right, since
it's been I cringe every time I hear your fifth
hour commercial on the podcast. Here we go again referring
(36:51):
to that parasitic nuisance as your trusty sidekick. When do
you plan on rerecording? We've already been through that so
we it's been taking care of the NYG. Yes. Yeah,
temporary band aid on it. Okay, we we We're gonna
write up new copy and then we'll voice it and
we'll be good. Yeah. Wrong, all right, let's see. Next
(37:11):
is on the mail bag. Blind Scott in Boston wants
to know our thoughts on freed ol A announcing this
week that America's favorite baseball snack, Cracker Jack's, we'll now
have Cracker Jill this. I mentioned this on the show. Yeah, yeah,
(37:32):
they they announced they've gone woke. Danny, what's your guy quite?
Travis say, go woke, go broke. I think that the coming,
said Cracker Jill. We'll honor and support women's impact we're
in sports and will be packaged in special edition bags
that will be available at the start of the baseball season.
So this weekend in ballparks across the United States. So
(37:56):
I got I got a couple of thoughts on this.
A the marketing p bull clearly believe at Freedola that
they're gonna get a lot of woke points out of this, right,
and they're gonna get a lot of way to go,
good job by you. And that's outstanding. Uh be it's
equal parts pandering and virtue signaling disguised as activism. Is
(38:21):
there a group of women that felt they were underrepresentative
by in the popcorn covered in caramel category? And that's
what I was gonna say, Ben, Any intelligent woman listening
to us right now would laugh at that and know
that it was just pandering. The only way that could
(38:41):
be better is if they had a photo of the
cast of the female Ghostbusters on the front of that
one of the great the blockles in Hollywood history, the
all female Ghostbusters. But this cracker Jack thing, do you
think there's any little girl that goes to a ball
game and says, oh, man, I wish I could grow
up and be like cracker Jack, But it's guy. And
and you think any little boy grows up a little
(39:03):
kid goes to a game, little boys like, oh maybe
someday I'll be just like the thing on the cracker
Jack box. Maybe that'll happen. I mean, come on, uh.
And the other thing. I looked this up a while ago.
For some reason, I I fell in a rabbit hole
and I ended up on the cracker Jack's website. It's
I was watching or I was reading, and I was
reading something and they were talking about like Eskimo Pie
(39:25):
anchw Mima, Uncle Ben's all these things that have been
canceled by the Wokesters in recent years, Cleveland, Indians, Washington Redskins,
things like that. And I was like, what about the
cracker Jack that's a survivor. Where does this stop? I mean,
do they keep going? Just keeps going? Because people are like, well,
if you know, if one person feels better about it,
(39:46):
and now you've gotta no no. I actually had this
conversation with an old buddy of mine and radio we
were talking about the other day and we were talking
about how in the olden days, and we're around the
same age, Dame and we were growing up, if somebody
had a problem with something said, okay, deal with it now.
If somebody has a problem, we gotta change everything. If
one person does not like what we're doing. We gott
change everything. So stupid, but it was outright offensive and
(40:07):
it's a mistake. That's clear. But what's not clear is
when people are not even bothered by something and somebody
goes out of their way to change it or make
a problem about it, when no one else even batted
an eye on it. Yeah, and my evidence how ridiculous.
This cracker Jill thing which Blind Scott wanted to talk
(40:28):
about is cracker Jack was not named after a guy.
People think it was named after a guy Jack Cracker
or something like that. There's no Jack Cracker that we
know in the eight hundreds. Cracker Jack the products started
in the late eighteen hundreds and the tagline was the
more you eat, the more you want, and that was
(40:49):
the tagline on that, but it was it was actually
named after someone who sampled the product for the first time,
who said, when they ate this concoction, they said, that's
a cracker jack. And that was a colloquial term in
the eighteen hundreds and it meant of excellent quality. Now
for dumb people it means uh, you know, derogatory term
(41:12):
towards white people. Crack. That's what they think of for
some people, but it never meant that. And that's a
term that's not not used anymore. Like bozo. You're a bozo?
I should you use bozo. That's a good word bozo anyway.
So that's that's that. Moving on, Who is next? Let's
(41:35):
see Bob in North Carolina is complaining about one of
our colleagues here at Fox Sports Radio. He's requesting a
show to listen to other than that show. And Bob,
probably not a good idea for us to name the show.
I'll bleep it out, all right. Uh he named the
he named that show. Hates that show, says horrible radio,
(41:57):
can't stand it. One of our former co workers is
on that show. Yes, a central figure on that show.
I like that show. I think it's a good show.
These guys hot hot opinions on that show. And so
I don't know what to tell you. There's plenty of options.
You can save the podcast for part of the week
and listen to this over and over again. You can
(42:17):
have a replay of the overnight show if you want.
Whatever it takes, So good luck. I hope you find something.
There's plenty of audio content out there. Garan f and
T on that next up is Azzy Momentum. He says, Hey,
Benn and Danny g do either of you consider yourselves fisherman?
Have you ever been deep sea fishing? Cheers Azzy Momentum.
(42:42):
I have not. I've been fishing, but just on land
where you cast your your a lot into the water
and see how you do there. And I'm a terrible fisherman.
The line get all tangled, I got board, the fish
weren't biting, and then I got embarrassed because other fishermen
were getting fish to bite and I didn't, and it
was humiliating and derogatory, and so I haven't been back.
(43:06):
What about you, Danny, You've ever been out on a
boat out there in the Pacific fishing somewhere? I wouldn't
want to fish on the or in the ocean, but
a lake is great for fishing and great cod piece.
Frank Pollock are man. Frank Pollock are late, great colleague. Yeah.
I used to take special needs kids from Compton, California,
(43:27):
out on a boat to fish. I talked about it
on the podcast. One other time, my dad invites me
and my older brother to a derby in the mountain
city he lives in at bass lake and there's a
fifty thousand dollar trout that's tagged. Then they tag all
these other fish with a thousand dollar tags and one
(43:51):
fish in the lake, so you can cash in if
you catch any of these fish. But we caught not
a last time. That is pretty cool. That is pretty cool. Think, Yeah,
I like the Derby's there fun. But these assholes kept
passing us on a boat all day and they showed
us every time that they caught another fish. I told
(44:12):
my dad, I said, I bet those are paid actors
from the city of Bath Lake. There ain't no fish
in here, yeah, or what if they put the fifty
thou dollar fishing and some other thing eats it? And
then yeah, Well that's why I told you the story.
Because we saw a bald eagle swooped down on the lake, remember,
and it took a trout and flew off with the trout.
(44:35):
And I looked at my dad with a straight face,
and I was like, there goes the dollar fish. And
that bird looked back at you and said just like that,
And I was like, yeah, I guess I got some
money here for sure. Mike and foot in the last
one Dayny last last one in the mail bag. This
(44:56):
is the final message. I got mail. Yeah, I got mail.
Yeah again. If you would like to send a message
in future programs every Sunday, you can send it in
care of Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com, Real
fifth Hour, spell it all out F I F T
H Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Or you
(45:16):
can post it on the Facebook page Ben mall or show.
Follow us on there and I post videos. If you're
not on Twitter, I post videos on Twitter and YouTube
occasionally on Instagram, and you can check that out. Mike
in Fullerton says, like with the Fifth Hour, would you
rather everyone on Twitter use their real name and city
(45:37):
so you didn't have to say ridiculous user names like
Alf the Alien, o Piner and uh Bronco fan on
the weekday show. That's part of the charm of of Twitter.
That's fine. It gives it personality. Otherwise it would be boring.
If you're like Chris and Omaha says this, Chris and
Minnesota says this, and David and Ontario said this, that
(46:00):
would be boring. Yeah, I like nicknames. Stevie meat Balls
is a good nickname. One of the guys that calls
in Alf is a legend Alfie, Animal Piner. But there
are guys on Twitter that just go by their name.
You got just Josh and Justin and Cincinnati. So there
are those guys that mixed in or if it's a
senior citizen, it's just a phone number. That is one
(46:23):
of the all time great story that would be in
my book someday, That'll be in my book. So interested,
so interested in being part of the show. They had
a Twitter malfunction, did not did not realize that they
were typing in their phone number in the name slot.
And surprise, surprise, surprise, that was was awkward. So and
(46:48):
all this Twitter is interactive. Every time I tweet, I
get a phone call. I can't believe it. Oh Man,
oh Man, anything to promote Danny. You're in the Magic
Radio do Joe oh the Fox Sports radio studios, the
Hallowed Halls were legends like Bob Golic, Rich Horrera, Craig Sheeman,
and James Washington walked back in the day, keep going,
(47:12):
Jim Lampley, Tony Bruno, Andrew Siciliano. Think of the guys
who did drugs. I'm not gonna uh extra tonight. Uh yeah,
oh the beginning. You talking about the very we had
was what Jeanie's Alaska hivan Frasier Bob Page was part
(47:35):
of that. And then the old CBS sports announcer with
a mustache. You know who I'm thinking of, Pat O'Brien.
Oh yeah, great, Pat O'Brien, buddy, Pat Pat Is. I
could tell Pat Obrian's stories forever. How old is Pat
these days? He hasn't aged in a while. Pat should
live a very really lived a hard life back, but
(47:56):
he's very thin and usually that that build, the build
that Pat O'Brien has, you're gonna be around for a while.
I think Pat's gonna be around for I still got
to meet him for lunch in Beverly Hills. He we
had him on the podcast before you were on the podcast,
and he invited me, if you do you know Pat? Well,
you were there when he was there right briefly he
(48:17):
was leaving as I joined. Okay, yeah, well Pat, I
have a million Pat O'Bryan stories. But Pat's a he's
a bullshit artist. So if you want, we can go
to lunch with oh, that would be cool. Yeah. Yeah,
he's a He's got a million stories about everybody. He's
got the legendary Pat O'Brian stories. I get to work
with another legend whose voices on the HBO Lakers winning time,
(48:40):
Steve Hartman, who I worked with on Saturday. Today, I'm
doing the Coveno and Rich Show in the afternoon, and
that's followed by the lead in to the Ben Mallor Show,
which is Chris Plank and Arni Spaniard. Yeah, I will
be back and we'll talk to some baseball. Maybe it'll
be a big NFL story that we don't right now
know about that's going to happen, that will carry the go.
(49:00):
You never know. It's the magic of it, and you
just wait. You can't really prepare because you don't know
what's gonna happen until it happens. What big stories are
gonna break that are gonna get in your crow. Well,
I just wanted before before we sign off, So you
mentioned all the people that used to work at Fox Sports, right,
I named a bunch of it. So my wife the
(49:22):
other day tells me she's like at the police station.
She's been there long enough now where there's a lot
of turnover and people people on law enforcement generally don't
have no thirty year careers where because you get to
a certain age age out and so there's been a
lot of turnover. She was saying that she's gonna be
like the last person left in a couple of years,
and I was like, welcome to my world. Welcome to
(49:42):
my world, because that happened a few years ago where
everyone turned over and little and when I started. There's
not a single person left in that building that's working
at Fox Sports Radio from when I began. It's crazy
to think about that. That is weird. I've not been
at a station or network long enough to experience that,
(50:06):
So that's that's got to feel strange. It is, and
you know, it's it's it's one of those things like
some of these people I know when they started his interns,
now they've been at the company fifteen years of working
and stuff. It's it's cool, but it's a little weird
when you think about when I started and everything that
went on. You're like Vince Evans, You're the Vince Evans
of radio. He would always pop up. I'd be like,
(50:28):
he's still quarterback sticking string exactly. He's still in the league.
I'll never get to the varsity. He'll never get to
the varsity anyway. All right, I have a wonderful, wonderful,
wonderful arrest of your Sunday and we will catch you
next time in the Magic Podcast, do Joe Later. Skater
(50:51):
got a murder, Gotta go.
Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of
the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the rich
pill poppers in the penthouse. The Clearinghouse of Hot takes
break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben
(00:24):
Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, Happy Sunday,
another edition of the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and
Danny g Radio. As we dive into the mail bag,
(00:45):
they always say, please give us the mail. We need
the mail, and I'm like, well, come on, what's wrong
with that? But sometimes there's no mail. It happens. I'm
just trying to hit as many sound bites as I can. Oh, look,
Coop's over there, smoke weed, Yeah, right over you going
the back over there. That's that's nice. What else we
(01:05):
got here? Let's see really quick. I'm gonna add my
own Coop drop. I wish I could pull off those suits.

the the I got my toy. I gotta I gotta
play with it. How dare you, Danny? G Yeah, it
(01:50):
half is. I I know it's it's to be scary
right now. You know, everything will be okay. Calm down, Ralph,
everything will be okay. So to the third round, he ships,
He sits blank, my blank, and blank. You. I want
(02:11):
a mature guy now if you're new to the podcast, saying, hey,
I would like to get some shine on the podcast.
I would like to be podcast famous, and really, who
doesn't want that in their life? I think of the
bucket list things you want to accomplish before you check
out of this Mortal Coil, to be mentioned on a podcast. Now,
(02:31):
and not just any podcast, Danny, but this podcast. No, no, No,
don't play. This is a good podcast. It's impressive because
that means that tens of people look up to you,
at least ten. Yeah. I used to have eight people
who are up to ten now, so we've got double
digits that enjoy this show and even more now, Danny,
(02:54):
because if you look off out in the horizon, there
the Manu Ginobili market your childers aside. They're coming. You
can hear them to make you a little noise there,
there they are. They're they're attacking me, Daddy and your battleship. Yeah,

r E A L F I F th h h oh.
You are ill spell the whole thing at gmail dot com.
Put mail on the headline and we will use your message,
time permitting. In a future episode of the Fifth Hour
mail bag with myself, Ben and Danny. And before we
get started here, we have a rule on this, and
(04:21):
so let's strike up the band. We go to our
man Ohio owl. First message comes from our friend Tammy
in Montana. She says, Ben and Danny, g I have
to tell you that I had a Tommy's Chili dog
(04:43):
in Montana? Is that even possible? That just continues. A
friend of mine ordered dogs and chili from Tommy's for
a party. The chili dog was amazing. Do they have
tomm They don't have Tommy's in Montana? Do they? I'll
look it up, all right, let's just some due diligence
on that, some fact checking. Uh. Tammy says, I always
(05:04):
have some stupid question about driving, about a driving law.
To ask the cop when I get pulled over makes
the cops feel helpful to answer the question, and it works.
So she's talking about getting out of a ticket. Well,
it also helps, if let's be honest here, you know,
helps if you're a woman a little bit right on
(05:25):
the easy on the eyes. Am I wrong in saying that, Danny?
Is that? Is that a stereotype sexist? Open up the
blouse a little bit. The show off. Where did you
hear those stories? I might have watched that on a
movie back in the day. I don't what kind of
a movie. It was. Maybe an adult movie. I don't know.
But there is that. And and unlike Supreme Court justices,
(05:46):
I know what a woman is. I don't need to
have to ask. I don't have to ask your biologist, Danny.
I've I've mastered that. Tammy continues. She says, I'm disturbed
by a holier than now Helen's email, Helen says she
loves Ben. Tammy writes, but she wants Ben to take
over the morning time slot. I've heard prostitutes sleep in
(06:09):
the morning, so Helen wouldn't be able to listen to Ben.
She doesn't make sense. Wow, Helen's joke about rent was
very old and lame. Tammy rides, I don't pay rent
because I own my home, whereas Helen admitted that they
(06:30):
live in a camper, so if she wasn't so ugly,
she could earn more money at night and buy a house.
Signed Tammy in Montana. Tammy, she's got the flamethrowers out.
She's going for it. She is ready to go. Yeah,
(06:51):
absolutely on that man. Your battle stations all right. On
Tommy's website they only show California and Nevada. So is
it possible a that she had some rip off Tommy's.
Be somebody flew into Montana with Tommy's, which I can't
imagine would have tasted all that good, daddy, if it's
(07:12):
been in a plane for four hours or whatever it
is to fly to Montana. These are all great questions.
We'll have to wait till next week's mail bag to
get the answer. So Tammy, let us know, because we
are skeptical that you could get a Tommy's Chili dog
in Montana. Now there might have been a place called
Tommy's in Montana, but not the Tommies that we know. Yeah,
(07:36):
they spelled it t O M M I apostrophe s. Yeah,
something weird, some knockoff Tommy's. So the next mail we
go back to the the mail bags, right and Helen
and Stu from palmetto Bay, Florida. Right in there's Ben
and Danny ge Happy Sunday, Sunday Sunday, Screw the Oscars.
(07:56):
The email begins, Screw the Grammys. Let us first catch
up with the Bennies. Ben stew and I are the
most powerful couple in the Mallard militia. To protect your brand.
We get people fired, now, we get people elected. Given
what the Fifth Hour mailbag serves as the de facto
(08:19):
public town Square, Congratulations to Danny g Radio winner winner
and Brian too Short Finley shots fired, so more congratulations
for you. In sports, the email continues, looks like Major
League Baseball will continue to check pictures for sticky stuff.
(08:40):
Sounds like a perfect lateral career move for that Renter
bitch Tammy in Fontana. Uh. And the message continues. As
for food, We've been fortunate to eat at some very
some of the best steakhouses in America. Counter in Benjamin
(09:00):
on Team Well Done, Way to go, Helen and Stow.
I did a rant on the show this week. I
mentioned I like my steak butterfly cut well done. I
was attacked by Coop and Eddie and Roberto as a
heathen and that I should be put up on some
kind of court martial for that. So I'm not going
to cook on my knee. I leaned closer to you
(09:23):
on this. You and I don't see eye to eye
with Ranch, Nope, But if I knew the kitchen was
gonna undercook it a little bit. I would tell him
well done, because I would like it done. Yeah, exactly,
You're one step higher than me because I want to
see just a little bit of pink. But the people
that have red and blood and all that, they might
as well be cannibals. Damn right, you're You're just a
(09:45):
few steps behind Jeffrey Dahmer. That's how Dahmer started. He
started with bloody meat, and then he wanted a human meat.
And that's the next thing I like to wrestle with.
Uh So, the email continues. For us, Helen and stew Right,
no matter what could of beef we order, you just
add clarified butter, kosher salt, and pepper and we're happy. Yeah,
(10:10):
I'm right there with you. I'm right there with you.
They say, we've never had a chef complained that we
wanted our meat cooked beyond the standard medium range, even
while dining in the chef's kitchen. It's probably because Helen
Stewart high rollers are you. If you're a high roller,
you go into a stake place, they're not going to
give you a hard time. If you're Joe Schmo like me,
(10:31):
the overnight guy, the guy who was who was this asshole? Uh?
What the hell's he want? And I'm sure this past
week on your live show you talked about the onety
one dollar burger game we did and there well or
the twenty five thousand dollar burger at Braves Games. If
you want the real ring. Wow, what at least there's
(10:52):
a cage free egg on there? Very important. Yes, I've
always said when I spent a hundred and fifty one
dollar on a burger that I can make it the
house for five bucks, that I it's very important to
get the cage free egg. Okay. Uh, the message continues,
speaking of meat closure and outstanding social media video content.
(11:13):
Time for you to take that Tomahawks steak you've had
in your freezer for years and now unsafe to eat,
Put it in a steel drum in your backyard at
gasoline and ignite flames at night should be visible west
of the four oh five. Message sent Wow, that's pretty
just a good idea viral YouTube video, and the message
(11:39):
says in closing bend outstanding Laker monologue content and energy.
This week, You've heard the rumors started and questioned to
ask by Stu First, what are the Mallards sports book
odds that the Googleheim Baseball Management, owners of the Dodgers,
will purchase the Los Angeles US Lakers as well. Stu.
(12:03):
That is a nightmare that I have that the Lakers
will actually get somebody who knows what they're doing as
an owner and not Genie Buss and then then it's over.
But that's the family business. So that's that's that's Genie
Buss's identity as the Lakers owner, So I'd be surprised
if she sells it. And as a closet Lakers fan,
you would love that drama that's on HBO right now. No, no, no,
(12:26):
I'm looking forward to The Clipper Show. It's gonna be
on effects. Yeah, it's gonna have huge ratings, just like
their games and the massive ratings. I think you were
with me, Danny. We should be part of that. The
Ben Mather Show should be part of that Donald Sterring documentary.
Were you not there the night that Donald Sterling we
(12:47):
are ent sure called in to our show. It's wild
I swear that was him. Oh my god. It was
right in the middle all of the hullabalue where they
were about to take the Clippers away from him, and
this guy called I think he said he was in
Big Bear or something like that. Yeah, he said he
(13:08):
was a big Bear Lake. It sounded like he had
been tipping it back a little bit. Yeah yeah. So
this old guy who sounds just like Donald Sterling calls
up to defend Donald Sterling and take shots at the
l a times. For the rest of the show, you
kept saying it was great to have Donald Sterling on
earlier defending Donald Sterling. Yes, yes, yes, And that guy
(13:31):
never called again after that. That was the only time
he ever called. That was it that night? Wild wild wild? Right?
Matt in, Matt is next, No, I gotta play this
sounded I apologize for not not doing this. It's a
bad job by me. That's right. The mail is here,
all right. So Matt in Dallas fort Worth rights and
(13:54):
he says, man, I have to go horseback riding this
weekend with the wife for her birthday. But I've ever
been what advice do you have for me? Well, Matt,
I was fat and they don't let fat people on horses,
so I won't have any advice. I was when I
was little. I was on a horse when I was
when I was a kid, and I think the horse
(14:14):
talked back to me, shut the funk up. Okay, shut
the funk up. That's what the horse said to me. So, Danny,
do you have any experience you lived in Burbank. They
have horse trails in Burbank for my time in Burbank
when I worked there, So did you ever spend time
on a horse? They do, But those are next to
the Walt Disney studios there the where the riders and
cartoonists work, where the big protests have been going on,
(14:39):
you know. I mean, I was downtown for twelve years
and this shouldn't surprise you because I heard an owl
live in person for the first time this past week.
Never been on a horse before. Okay, so we have
failed you, man, You've failed you. We have failed your wife.
And chances are this is for the Sunday mail back,
so you probably are been on the horse by now.
(15:01):
By the time you hear this, you've already been on
the horse. So really we couldn't add anything to that anyway,
all right, I would just advise you not to piss
off the horse, not to be to mean to the horse,
not to fart in the horse's face, none of that,
and then you're in good shape. Yeah, from what I've
seen on shows like three, which is a great show.
(15:23):
By the way, no sudden movements, no sudden movements. And
if the horse runs off in the distance, let it
go right, just let it. Let them. Jennifer is next
up from Richmond of Virginia. Come back, it's time from now,
(15:47):
I'll call. I'll be visiting Virginia for the first time
ever in early May. I I'll be flying in there
and I have to drive down to North Carolina from there,
so I'll wave at your Jennifer, She says, high bed
and Danny ge. My question is inspired by all your
recent baking and cooking. Do you have a favorite kitchen
(16:09):
gadget or gizmo? Uh? Nothing in particular as far as
the baking stuff. I did get a well, I forget
what's it called. You put the flower in it and
you turn the wheel and it it Uh, I forget
what the name of it is. But oh the l star. No,
but I wanted to be in on the conversation exactly.
(16:32):
I understand. I think President Trump has something your friend Trump, Yeah,
that's what he has to say. But no, I just
love watching YouTube videos and then making my own version
of that and I got pretty lucky in a sad way.
My mom was a prolific Banker's one of the reasons
I do. I try to honor my mom's legacy. My
(16:53):
mom was amazing in the kitchen. Of course, everyone thinks
their mom is amazing in the kitchen, but my mom
was great, and she you know, there's a lot of
health problems, but she did a lot baking, and so
she was able to buy like all these gadgets and gizmos,
and they all sat here for a long time, you know,
in my dad's house. And then when he passed away
(17:17):
in early uh, you know, I inherited a lot of stuff.
So it's all fine. The good thing about baking stuff
is a lot of that stuff will last forever well,
kind of like the cast iron, that kind of stuff.
So but I love it all. It's it's great. I
made some last weekend. I made eminem cookies and so
(17:39):
those came out pretty good. And the cool thing I've
learned it's all about presentation, Danny. It's all about the
present day. So I what I do is I put,
I make the doll and all that, and then right
before I'm about to put the cookies, the cookie doll
in the oven to bake. I strategically placed the M
and Amazon there so they look just like when you
go to the store. Yeah, so they looked just like that.
(18:02):
It's something that anyone with half a brain would do,
but for me, it's like a big accomplishment. Do you
watch the cooking competition shows that are on TV? No,
I don't really do that. My wife likes those a lot.
I haven't really gotten to that. I did. I did
see an interview with the guy that was on one
of those cooking shows, and they said how unrealistic it
is because you know, they used like one dish, will
(18:24):
throw it away using No, that it's not like real
life cooking where you have to wash all the dishes.
Somebody else washes the dishes for those people. Yeah, I
would recommend beat Bobby Flay. That's a good one, all right.
Pierre in Springfield, mass rights In says which superpower would
you choose? The ability to fly or to be invisible
(18:44):
whenever you want it? I think we've gotten a version
of this one before. Flying would be great. I'd be
worried about crashing. Invisibility. I feel like I've had that,
so I'd go back to that because I feel like
many points in my life I wish I was invisible
at some time, as I think I was invisible and
in the radio, Danny, we are invisible. All you can
(19:06):
hear is our voice, but you can't see us. Yeah,
and it wasn't an option there, but I would go
with the superman and his superhuman strength because you know,
just daily tasks like helping somebody with folding chairs. You
have got to be kidding me something like that. Or
if you have a job that's heavy labor, think about it, Ben,
(19:27):
you could just use a fingertip and boom, task is done. Yeah,
that that'd be nice. Uh. He also says Pierre in Springfield,
mass a friend of Alfie aliental Piner. He says, have
you made any progress in cutting a new ad for
the Fifth Hour podcast? It appears that your original Trusty
Sidekick promo has replaced the weight loss spot on the
(19:50):
weekday pods. Yeah. So I keep getting messages about this, Danny,
Is there anything we can do? Can we email somebody
already done? It is done. After those shows where we
joked about it and we had multiple listeners asked about it,
I sent an email to our boss and I got
a reply three weeks later. Because anything titled Ben Miller
(20:13):
it's replied to immediately highest urgency. It's just just just
ahead of Colin Cowhard, very similar. So three weeks later
he sent me a reply that said it's already been done.
I actually noticed that when I was listening to one
of the podcasts I had editing cut former co host
name out so that Ben didn't have to redo it.
(20:35):
Oh yeah, I was gonna say, because I don't remember
voicing over, I wouldn't mind voicing something over if you want,
we can make it all nice. Well, no, I'd like
to give you some some shine, give you a little
love and all that. I guess we could turn in
a new one. Yeah, yeah, if you want. How long
does it have to be? Do we know how long?
I will take a look at that. I believe it's
like around forty seconds. That's nothing for professionals. Come on,
(21:00):
I didn't even get to my point for about ten
minutes anyway, so I could do forty seconds, no problem. Uh.
He also says, Pierre, when are you gonna get Mikey
Adams on the Friday Pod? Well, he's on my list.
I have to coordinate with Mikey. Mike is a famous
radio guy in Boston who also is part of one
of the great TV bloopers on YouTube. He hosted a
(21:22):
sports show at night on a regional sports network in Boston.
And you know those those giant old school TV cameras
that were robotic, Yeah, like they're using the eighties and
the nineties. So one of these like started moving unexpectedly
(21:43):
towards Mikey and like it was a hilarious because he
gets attacked by the camera and it was really funny.
Mikey's got some amazing stories. Mikey Adams is the guy.
When I went to w e I and the first
time I ever went to E I, I was on
his show as a guest in studio and he had
a spread of Italian food in the studio. And Mikey's
(22:05):
producer told me that every night he had a different
restaurant cater the show. This guy, Yeah, and for free
of course, ghihim a little pop so and uh that
was great. But Mikey has tattoos on his ass of
the Orlando Magic and the New York Yankees. Now he's
not an Orlando Magic fan or a Yankee fan, but
(22:27):
he lost bets, and part of the bet was he
had to get the logo of those other teams on
his took us and and just to prove that he
was not phony, he pulled his pants down and showed
me his bear took us to show me the logos.
So he has the old Orlando Magic logo and the
(22:49):
the classic Yankee logo here alright, Next up we do
we go to a Mr. Luciano from Los Angeles. He says,
question for Ben and Danny, g I suppose you both
like baseball, And with that said, which opposing stadium would
you like to go and watch your favorite team play?
(23:09):
Keep up the great work? Anywhere you'd like to go,
Danny that you haven't been, Yeah, I would like to
go to Wrigley Yeah, and obviously would also like to
see Boston. Those are two. Yeah. I've been to Yankee Stadium.
I went one time to the old Yankee Stadium when
(23:31):
I was in New York for a radio conference, and
the atmosphere there was amazing. Went two strikes. The craft
starts getting into you don't get a lot of here
in Seattle. Man, I'd like to see a Mariner that ballparks.
I've been to Seattle. That's cool. I haven't been to
a Yankee or Mets game in New York since the
old stadiums I used to go. I want a lot
to the old Yankee Stadium, old Shase Stadium, and that's
(23:54):
like twenty years ago. I think they haven't had those
stadiums have been around a while now. The Yankees and
Mets stadiums have been there. Always want to go to Boston.
I always make a point to go to Finway. I've
been to Pittsburgh, but not in a game. I walked through.
They have a park in the outfield right near the
water there the the confluence of the two to make
(24:15):
the Ohio River. The Mahanga Hila butchered that and the
Allegheny right, isn't that it? And they formed the Ohio?
Thank you? That's the visual to me. The ones I've
been to. I hate to say this because enemy territory,
but the ballpark in San Francisco, I was just gonna say,
(24:36):
McCovey Cove is something else to see in person. And
then the food there is delicious. Yeah, and their fans
are our woes, So okay. If you know I'm serious
as a Dodgers fan, you know, I didn't have anybody
talking any kind of crap to me. It was real comfortable,
like it was my park. Well, part of the problem
(24:58):
with that is the some other dog your fans did
something so bad that the Giant fans are scared to
death when they see a Dodger logo. But but no,
I've I've had fun times. I haven't been too many
games in San Francisco. But it's tough part of San Francisco.
That's not a good area where that ballpark is. It's
all you don't want to park your car there because
when you come back, they'll be glass all over the
street and then you're going through your You're lucky if
(25:19):
your car is there when you get back with just
a broken window. But San Francisco, my favorite ball finway
is awesome Visually. It's not designed for tall people like me,
fat people. It's designed for people that were there in
the early nineteen hundreds when it was made. I've been
to Wrigley. I haven't been there since they renovated. I
heard it's a lot different. I'm gonna be in Chicago
(25:40):
also my global tour, so when I'm in Chicago, I'll
have to stop by Wrigley. I don't know that. I
think the Cubs are playing the White Sox. Actually, when
I'm gonna be there, is Comiskey still there? Oh yeah, yeah,
I'm not going to the South side of Chicago. I know,
I know, I've I've watched the news enough to Boy,
you don't want to make a wrong turn on the
(26:02):
south side of Chicago. You don't want to do that. No, no, no,
don't go to a subway late at night. Yeah, you
want to stay away from that. So Boston, Pittsburgh, San Francisco. Yeah,
I've Dodger Stadium too, it's on there. I thought you
were gonna say that the Marlins Ballpark in Miami, and
I meant subway the sandwich place, not the actual subway. Yeah. Yeah.
(26:25):
Is there a new like state of the art that's
comparable to like so far or Allegiance. What's the newest
baseball stadium in America? Well, the one in Texas, the
One Man Yeah, that's right, years ago. But it looks weird.
It looks like an outdoor barbecue from from far away,
it is a strange shape. Yeah, I've never been a
(26:47):
Canon Yards that's been around a long time. The oral
is blow cam in yards is because of how big
of a bo Jackson fan I was as a kid.
I guess seeing the Royals play in person would be great. Yeah,
in there, that's nice. They have a really cool complex
in Kansas City. They have Arrowhead Stadium on one side,
there's a big giant parking lot, and then the Royals
(27:08):
play across the way there. Royals having their problems on
the road. I'm Ben Mallick and that I've never been
there because they don't let media go. I've been banned, man,
I've been canceled by the angels in jail and a
radio guy survive anymore? What's wrong with you people? That's
(27:31):
not very heavenly from the angels? Yeah, unbelievable, man, that
is insane. All right, let's see who is next year.
Hold on a second. Got to type this in because
you know, something happened with my sound effect machine and
a type of code in God forbid, I don't play
(27:54):
the proper sound bite. Then it goes to hell. It's back.
J In Duluth writes in on the mail bag and
he says, hey, man, this is a sporting question. He says,
instead of an NFL and the NFL having a Pro
Bowl that nobody watches. How about the two teams with
the worst record play for the first pick in the draft.
(28:16):
At least the players would have something to play for
and maybe try to tackle the guy with the ball.
Thank you for having the greatest show on the radio.
Listen every day all four hours. God love you, God
bless you. J Thank you for that. Mazeltov. Uh So
this has been bandied about in the past. I've heard
something like this. I asked you about this in February.
(28:37):
That's where I heard it from. What would the Union
ever sign off on something like? Probably not, but it's
great for us to dream about. Yeah, it would be
great fourth quarter, especially if there's some hotshot quarterback the
next manning that's there to annoy me the exactly if
it was a clear number one selection, the prize of
(28:59):
the d raft and everybody was salivating and tanking, Yeah,
that would be wonderful. Well, then it would create that
awkward situation where if you're the quarterback of the team
and you try to win the game, your the move
to get your replacement, but you probably know you're gonna
be replaced anyways, So aren't you trying to put good
(29:19):
tape together to get another job. That's one way to
to look at it. And oh man, something needs to
change with that game though. Yeah, all right, what is
next year? Or who is next? I should be saying
I got mail? Yea, I got mail, yea. Alright, Kevin
(29:40):
in Kansas writes, and he says, you're ben in, Danny,
g This weekend in our high school is our high
school prom is our high school prom. He says. I'm
a teacher slash sponsors, so that means help with decorating
and watching over the dance. Any prom memories or stories
you'd like to share, Thanks, guys, that's Kevin and kids. Well,
(30:01):
I never went to my problem, so I haven't known stories.
The prom always reminded me of what a loser I
was with women and how women found me repulsive when
I was in school. So the idea of the prom
was just salt in an open wound, and so all
the cool kids. It was a place where the cool
kids to go, the popular kids to go, and guys
(30:22):
like me and not so much. I was over there
and I was at my own horn. I was I
was doing that on the side there. What about you, Danny?
You a prom guy? We've talked about this before. I
feel like it's come up on the show. Well, first
of all, shouts out to our teacher there. All teachers
should get raises across the board across the country, and
so should overnight radio people. Yeah, I agree with that too.
(30:45):
H As far as the problem, I had a date.
I had a girl that wanted to go with me.
My mom fought it tooth and nail. She did not
let me or my older brother go to the prom
because of what she called drugs and fornication. And my
mom still is very religious, so she kept us away
(31:05):
from girls as long as she could. And she said,
as soon as you're not under my roof, do you do?
What you do is but we're condom please, but you're
gonna date, but not under my roof. And so I
didn't have my first official girlfriend the day after I
left my mom's house. So there were girls that I
could talk to and get away with hanging out with
that school, but I couldn't bring him to my house ever,
(31:28):
and I couldn't talk to my mom about it. It
all had to be in secrecy, and the moment that
you had your freedom all of a sudden, Dandy g radio. Hello, ladies,
it's dandy g You know, I wish I could. I
wish I could brag about that and say that and
if I wanted to be a whore at the time,
(31:48):
I guess I could have been, but I was so
scared of aids and and being shot down by a
bolt of lightning out of God's hand. The first time
I ever had sex, I thought I was gonna die afterwards. Yeah, well,
it's funny because my my mom also it was not
obviously different religion, but it was. I felt guilty. I
(32:10):
felt the Jewish guilt. I was like, what have I
done here? I'm a monster? You know. I was like,
it was always easier having makeout sessions with the first
girlfriend and doing fun stuff and all that, but when
it came to the actual you know, you know, I
felt that I felt guilty afterwards. I felt like my
(32:32):
mom had a hidden you know, spy somewhere and she
was gonna get back to her. Yeah. I was the
same way. I never and I had girlfriends, said, you know,
not many, but I never took any home until the
one I married, because I was convinced it was gonna
be a My mom would not approve of that so
like it was a big deal anyway. No trauma there,
(32:54):
thanks parents. Yes, not not in the least. Chris and
Marre Coca to Iowa writes, and he is, if you
could travel to a distant populated planet and could only
tell the inhabitants one thing about the people on Earth,
what would it be? Also, go Rate is, oh yeah,
(33:15):
rate in nation checking in. So what would you tell somebody? Well,
would you be able to communicate with them? That would
That would obviously the first thing I just assume you could.
I would say humans are complicated. Humans are complicated. That's
(33:36):
that's the word that would sum up human beings. I
did see this week, NASA. Did you see this the
other day? NASA. I was gonna get through this on
the show, and I was gonna honor art Bell. I
never got to it. NASA says they're going to broadcast
messages out into deep space to aliens, hoping to make contact.
They want to make first contact. Also read an article
(33:57):
about how they want to shoot images of naked humans
out into space. Really yeah, it sounds like something that
the porno people would do. I don't know what that's
all about. I did not see that. Yes, yeah, it's
not like giving blood. Do you get money? Do you
get a cookie? Now? Are these gonna be real normal
(34:19):
looking humans like, you know, kind of a fuggy woman
and a big morning show in l A that I
heard talking about this story. That's what they were debating.
Should it be average looking humans or should it be
the cannon barbies of our Hollywood? No? No, because you
can't send a beautiful, jaw dropping woman's photo out in
(34:40):
space because they're gonna get here. They're gonna be like,
wait a minute, that's false advertising. These people blow up
the planet. That's like the girls with the high camera angles.
Oh yeah, yeah, you wanna. I want to start a diet, Danny.
We used to talk about and when you're doing TINDERRONI
tips you want to start a diet for women and men?
Here's what? Did you extend your arm all the way
(35:02):
up like this. You'll lose twenty pounds immediately, just like that.
Pounds of fat will vanish. The camera just needs to
be looking down at the canyon between the two booms. Yes,
and everything else looks slim after that. Yeah, I get
the attention, absolutely correct on that. What would you say, Danny,
(35:22):
if you could talk to a far away planet. You know,
it's funny that this question comes up this week because
an administrator that I work with, it was like Wednesday
or Thursday this past week. He was talking to me
out on the campus. He was talking about something going
on with his parents old house, and he had an
aunt that was sick and a company was trying to
(35:44):
take advantage of his aunt because she's in poor health.
And he made a deep statement after that. He was like,
you know what, Danny, it's like what my dad always said,
people are ship Unfortunately what I would say, people are people. Yeah,
(36:06):
there's a lot of there's a lot of too faced
people out there. It does, it does happen, all right.
That's why a lot of us love animals as much
as we do. Yeah, I bet animals are probably two faced. Two.
My dog Bell is probably just such a loser, you know.
But I can't hear a talk, so I don't know that.
You know, we just don't know their inner thoughts. But
they're talking to us in their mind exactly. That's what
(36:29):
I'm saying. Anyway. It is an interesting that's a good
question by Chris. I like, it's unique. We haven't gotten
that one before, so good job by you come back paying.
It's sun from now call Mark in Ottawa. Right, since
it's been I cringe every time I hear your fifth
hour commercial on the podcast. Here we go again referring
(36:51):
to that parasitic nuisance as your trusty sidekick. When do
you plan on rerecording? We've already been through that so
we it's been taking care of the NYG. Yes. Yeah,
temporary band aid on it. Okay, we we We're gonna
write up new copy and then we'll voice it and
we'll be good. Yeah. Wrong, all right, let's see. Next
(37:11):
is on the mail bag. Blind Scott in Boston wants
to know our thoughts on freed ol A announcing this
week that America's favorite baseball snack, Cracker Jack's, we'll now
have Cracker Jill this. I mentioned this on the show. Yeah, yeah,
(37:32):
they they announced they've gone woke. Danny, what's your guy quite?
Travis say, go woke, go broke. I think that the coming,
said Cracker Jill. We'll honor and support women's impact we're
in sports and will be packaged in special edition bags
that will be available at the start of the baseball season.
So this weekend in ballparks across the United States. So
(37:56):
I got I got a couple of thoughts on this.
A the marketing p bull clearly believe at Freedola that
they're gonna get a lot of woke points out of this, right,
and they're gonna get a lot of way to go,
good job by you. And that's outstanding. Uh be it's
equal parts pandering and virtue signaling disguised as activism. Is
(38:21):
there a group of women that felt they were underrepresentative
by in the popcorn covered in caramel category? And that's
what I was gonna say, Ben, Any intelligent woman listening
to us right now would laugh at that and know
that it was just pandering. The only way that could
(38:41):
be better is if they had a photo of the
cast of the female Ghostbusters on the front of that
one of the great the blockles in Hollywood history, the
all female Ghostbusters. But this cracker Jack thing, do you
think there's any little girl that goes to a ball
game and says, oh, man, I wish I could grow
up and be like cracker Jack, But it's guy. And
and you think any little boy grows up a little
(39:03):
kid goes to a game, little boys like, oh maybe
someday I'll be just like the thing on the cracker
Jack box. Maybe that'll happen. I mean, come on, uh.
And the other thing. I looked this up a while ago.
For some reason, I I fell in a rabbit hole
and I ended up on the cracker Jack's website. It's
I was watching or I was reading, and I was
reading something and they were talking about like Eskimo Pie
(39:25):
anchw Mima, Uncle Ben's all these things that have been
canceled by the Wokesters in recent years, Cleveland, Indians, Washington Redskins,
things like that. And I was like, what about the
cracker Jack that's a survivor. Where does this stop? I mean,
do they keep going? Just keeps going? Because people are like, well,
if you know, if one person feels better about it,
(39:46):
and now you've gotta no no. I actually had this
conversation with an old buddy of mine and radio we
were talking about the other day and we were talking
about how in the olden days, and we're around the
same age, Dame and we were growing up, if somebody
had a problem with something said, okay, deal with it now.
If somebody has a problem, we gotta change everything. If
one person does not like what we're doing. We gott
change everything. So stupid, but it was outright offensive and
(40:07):
it's a mistake. That's clear. But what's not clear is
when people are not even bothered by something and somebody
goes out of their way to change it or make
a problem about it, when no one else even batted
an eye on it. Yeah, and my evidence how ridiculous.
This cracker Jill thing which Blind Scott wanted to talk
(40:28):
about is cracker Jack was not named after a guy.
People think it was named after a guy Jack Cracker
or something like that. There's no Jack Cracker that we
know in the eight hundreds. Cracker Jack the products started
in the late eighteen hundreds and the tagline was the
more you eat, the more you want, and that was
(40:49):
the tagline on that, but it was it was actually
named after someone who sampled the product for the first time,
who said, when they ate this concoction, they said, that's
a cracker jack. And that was a colloquial term in
the eighteen hundreds and it meant of excellent quality. Now
for dumb people it means uh, you know, derogatory term
(41:12):
towards white people. Crack. That's what they think of for
some people, but it never meant that. And that's a
term that's not not used anymore. Like bozo. You're a bozo?
I should you use bozo. That's a good word bozo anyway.
So that's that's that. Moving on, Who is next? Let's
(41:35):
see Bob in North Carolina is complaining about one of
our colleagues here at Fox Sports Radio. He's requesting a
show to listen to other than that show. And Bob,
probably not a good idea for us to name the show.
I'll bleep it out, all right. Uh he named the
he named that show. Hates that show, says horrible radio,
(41:57):
can't stand it. One of our former co workers is
on that show. Yes, a central figure on that show.
I like that show. I think it's a good show.
These guys hot hot opinions on that show. And so
I don't know what to tell you. There's plenty of options.
You can save the podcast for part of the week
and listen to this over and over again. You can
(42:17):
have a replay of the overnight show if you want.
Whatever it takes, So good luck. I hope you find something.
There's plenty of audio content out there. Garan f and
T on that next up is Azzy Momentum. He says, Hey,
Benn and Danny g do either of you consider yourselves fisherman?
Have you ever been deep sea fishing? Cheers Azzy Momentum.
(42:42):
I have not. I've been fishing, but just on land
where you cast your your a lot into the water
and see how you do there. And I'm a terrible fisherman.
The line get all tangled, I got board, the fish
weren't biting, and then I got embarrassed because other fishermen
were getting fish to bite and I didn't, and it
was humiliating and derogatory, and so I haven't been back.
(43:06):
What about you, Danny, You've ever been out on a
boat out there in the Pacific fishing somewhere? I wouldn't
want to fish on the or in the ocean, but
a lake is great for fishing and great cod piece.
Frank Pollock are man. Frank Pollock are late, great colleague. Yeah.
I used to take special needs kids from Compton, California,
(43:27):
out on a boat to fish. I talked about it
on the podcast. One other time, my dad invites me
and my older brother to a derby in the mountain
city he lives in at bass lake and there's a
fifty thousand dollar trout that's tagged. Then they tag all
these other fish with a thousand dollar tags and one
(43:51):
fish in the lake, so you can cash in if
you catch any of these fish. But we caught not
a last time. That is pretty cool. That is pretty cool. Think, Yeah,
I like the Derby's there fun. But these assholes kept
passing us on a boat all day and they showed
us every time that they caught another fish. I told
(44:12):
my dad, I said, I bet those are paid actors
from the city of Bath Lake. There ain't no fish
in here, yeah, or what if they put the fifty
thou dollar fishing and some other thing eats it? And
then yeah, Well that's why I told you the story.
Because we saw a bald eagle swooped down on the lake, remember,
and it took a trout and flew off with the trout.
(44:35):
And I looked at my dad with a straight face,
and I was like, there goes the dollar fish. And
that bird looked back at you and said just like that,
And I was like, yeah, I guess I got some
money here for sure. Mike and foot in the last
one Dayny last last one in the mail bag. This
(44:56):
is the final message. I got mail. Yeah, I got mail.
Yeah again. If you would like to send a message
in future programs every Sunday, you can send it in
care of Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com, Real
fifth Hour, spell it all out F I F T
H Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Or you
(45:16):
can post it on the Facebook page Ben mall or show.
Follow us on there and I post videos. If you're
not on Twitter, I post videos on Twitter and YouTube
occasionally on Instagram, and you can check that out. Mike
in Fullerton says, like with the Fifth Hour, would you
rather everyone on Twitter use their real name and city
(45:37):
so you didn't have to say ridiculous user names like
Alf the Alien, o Piner and uh Bronco fan on
the weekday show. That's part of the charm of of Twitter.
That's fine. It gives it personality. Otherwise it would be boring.
If you're like Chris and Omaha says this, Chris and
Minnesota says this, and David and Ontario said this, that
(46:00):
would be boring. Yeah, I like nicknames. Stevie meat Balls
is a good nickname. One of the guys that calls
in Alf is a legend Alfie, Animal Piner. But there
are guys on Twitter that just go by their name.
You got just Josh and Justin and Cincinnati. So there
are those guys that mixed in or if it's a
senior citizen, it's just a phone number. That is one
(46:23):
of the all time great story that would be in
my book someday, That'll be in my book. So interested,
so interested in being part of the show. They had
a Twitter malfunction, did not did not realize that they
were typing in their phone number in the name slot.
And surprise, surprise, surprise, that was was awkward. So and
(46:48):
all this Twitter is interactive. Every time I tweet, I
get a phone call. I can't believe it. Oh Man,
oh Man, anything to promote Danny. You're in the Magic
Radio do Joe oh the Fox Sports radio studios, the
Hallowed Halls were legends like Bob Golic, Rich Horrera, Craig Sheeman,
and James Washington walked back in the day, keep going,
(47:12):
Jim Lampley, Tony Bruno, Andrew Siciliano. Think of the guys
who did drugs. I'm not gonna uh extra tonight. Uh yeah,
oh the beginning. You talking about the very we had
was what Jeanie's Alaska hivan Frasier Bob Page was part
(47:35):
of that. And then the old CBS sports announcer with
a mustache. You know who I'm thinking of, Pat O'Brien.
Oh yeah, great, Pat O'Brien, buddy, Pat Pat Is. I
could tell Pat Obrian's stories forever. How old is Pat
these days? He hasn't aged in a while. Pat should
live a very really lived a hard life back, but
(47:56):
he's very thin and usually that that build, the build
that Pat O'Brien has, you're gonna be around for a while.
I think Pat's gonna be around for I still got
to meet him for lunch in Beverly Hills. He we
had him on the podcast before you were on the podcast,
and he invited me, if you do you know Pat? Well,
you were there when he was there right briefly he
(48:17):
was leaving as I joined. Okay, yeah, well Pat, I
have a million Pat O'Bryan stories. But Pat's a he's
a bullshit artist. So if you want, we can go
to lunch with oh, that would be cool. Yeah. Yeah,
he's a He's got a million stories about everybody. He's
got the legendary Pat O'Brian stories. I get to work
with another legend whose voices on the HBO Lakers winning time,
(48:40):
Steve Hartman, who I worked with on Saturday. Today, I'm
doing the Coveno and Rich Show in the afternoon, and
that's followed by the lead in to the Ben Mallor Show,
which is Chris Plank and Arni Spaniard. Yeah, I will
be back and we'll talk to some baseball. Maybe it'll
be a big NFL story that we don't right now
know about that's going to happen, that will carry the go.
(49:00):
You never know. It's the magic of it, and you
just wait. You can't really prepare because you don't know
what's gonna happen until it happens. What big stories are
gonna break that are gonna get in your crow. Well,
I just wanted before before we sign off, So you
mentioned all the people that used to work at Fox Sports, right,
I named a bunch of it. So my wife the
(49:22):
other day tells me she's like at the police station.
She's been there long enough now where there's a lot
of turnover and people people on law enforcement generally don't
have no thirty year careers where because you get to
a certain age age out and so there's been a
lot of turnover. She was saying that she's gonna be
like the last person left in a couple of years,
and I was like, welcome to my world. Welcome to
(49:42):
my world, because that happened a few years ago where
everyone turned over and little and when I started. There's
not a single person left in that building that's working
at Fox Sports Radio from when I began. It's crazy
to think about that. That is weird. I've not been
at a station or network long enough to experience that,
(50:06):
So that's that's got to feel strange. It is, and
you know, it's it's it's one of those things like
some of these people I know when they started his interns,
now they've been at the company fifteen years of working
and stuff. It's it's cool, but it's a little weird
when you think about when I started and everything that
went on. You're like Vince Evans, You're the Vince Evans
of radio. He would always pop up. I'd be like,
(50:28):
he's still quarterback sticking string exactly. He's still in the league.
I'll never get to the varsity. He'll never get to
the varsity anyway. All right, I have a wonderful, wonderful,
wonderful arrest of your Sunday and we will catch you
next time in the Magic Podcast, do Joe Later. Skater
(50:51):
got a murder, Gotta go.
