Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ka boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes
a week was enough, I think again. He's the last
remnants of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness.
He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as
the rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of
hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
(00:23):
with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere
back in the podcast do Joe Holiday weekend or not?
The show must go on. It is another addition of
the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny G Radio.
(00:48):
Ready to dazzle you as we go into the mail Bag.
Not a high maintenance podcast, Danny G. I always look
forward to the mail Bag podcast because you never know.
It's like a box of that you never know what
you're gonna get. It's kind of like a Dodger relief picture.
You never know what you're gonna get. Yeah, it's an
extended version of Ask Ben, which was always one of
(01:09):
my favorite features on your live show. Yeah. Now it
sounds like ask Man, but this is not asked Bend Anny.
This is no, no, no, this this is a totally
different feature. Alright, totally different. People always confuse this with
Aspen and I don't understand why this is. This is
(01:29):
nothing like, nothing like ask Ben, unless it's a mirror image. No, no, no, no, no,
no you, no one, No one would be so lazy
is to copy a bit from the radio show and
put it on the podcast. Who would do that? You'd
be You'd be going bonkers if you did that. This
isn't not the number one station anymore? Is it? Without
further ado, let's strike up the band. Ohio al is
(01:52):
here and into the mail bag we go. It's good job,
Ohio all. And these are actual questions sent in by
(02:16):
actual listeners like yourself. We have many repeat customers, which
we love, but we also enjoy getting new people to
send us questions. And you can do that a couple
of different ways. If you've just stumbled on the podcast,
the Facebook page every Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday, So that's one
way to do it on the Facebook page. But you
can send a question in anytime. You can do it
(02:37):
right now, you can do it five minutes from now,
you can do it tomorrow. You don't have to wait
till Tuesday. Real fifth hour at gmail dot com. That
is the address, put mail in the headline on that
Real Fifth Hour at gmail dot com, and we may
read your question on the show. Now, before we get
(02:59):
into the official official mailbag, I did get a message
from one of our our faithful listeners, which I was
a little worried about. I don't worry about, and I
didn't put this in the mailbag, so this is not
really the official start of the mailbag, but it was
a message. So I got an email from one of
(03:19):
our fans in northern California, Robbie, who he had mentioned
that I was complaining on the show about the only
mail we get at the mother Ship is from Andy Ferman.
I want a mature guy. I was trying to figure
out how this is like a national network, five affiliates,
(03:40):
satellite radio, international audience and the only male I ever
see is from Andy Ferman, And I was like, what's
up with that? So anyway, Robbie sent a message in
and he attached some pictures here of the gift that
he had sent back in. We talked about this. This
thing got stuck in storage because I moved right after
(04:00):
I got the gift and I didn't have a chance
to open it, and so we talked about this on
the podcast. So anyway, I was trying to find the
date of the podcast, Danny. I could not find it.
But Robbie sent me a message like, hey, you know,
here's mayl. You didn't open this, So I was I
was a little bummed up because I was like, well,
we did open. I did a whole thing on the podcast.
We talked about that, Remember, Danny, we did a whole
(04:20):
thing podcast about Robbie and he sent a very nice letter,
and we read the letter on the show and he
talked about how special the wood was that was used.
It was old wood that was used for the cutting
board and the what's that thee Yeah, yeah, So I
don't know which show it was. All these shows they
(04:43):
they roll one after another and I don't We don't
have a good log of them. I don't anyway, Maybe
you do, Danny, but I don't have a good log.
And so I went back and I tried to find
I couldnot find the date on that. That was a
fake start. That was a false flag start. Let's get
into a Now the real mail bag begins and mail
(05:05):
all right, Jason from Rocky Non Virginia Rights and says, hey, guys,
I did a bit thinking about it, and maybe Danny
G should be referred to. Oh, this is the nickname thing, Danny,
Remember you wanted a nickname. Danny should be referred to
as Doc, as in Doc Brown from Back to the
Future for science experiments your thust. Do you do you
want to be called Doc? Well? That is one of
(05:26):
my favorite movies from the eighties. It's a solid film. Yeah,
just Josh, he tweeted us. The Darwin of Dodgeball. That's
the man who put the O G in scientology. Yeah.
I like it. It's a little Tom cruise ish there.
He says. Coming up with a new nickname is tough.
(05:47):
Since you've gone Danny G. The science on me going
with the scientifical turntable of elementary ins. Wow, that's a
long one. That's a mouthful. Yeah, I'm didn't nickname. They
gotta be short. The Darwin of dodge that's that is solid. Yeah,
(06:09):
because it combines the two things science and earlier in
the school year beating all those kids in the head
with the dodgeballs. That's true. Stop bad. And I gotta
thank Terry really quick because he sent me some lesson plans.
Oh he did nice he's also a teacher. Yeah sweet, yeah,
(06:30):
thank you Terry from England. Yeah yeah, Terry has been
listening for a long time. He's a ham radio guy
like my dad used to be back in the day
and all that. Yeah, Terry very opinionated, that guy, Terry,
he does not, he does not. One of his emails
had this whole thing on parachutes. And so last week
a big part of my week was teaching the kids
(06:52):
all about parachutes. And then we spent a couple of
days making those cool toy parachutes. Oh that is neat.
I like it, loved it. Terry got upset with me.
He said, I did list radio, he yelled at me.
But I did not do list radio. I did Big
Ben's Big Board, and Big Ben's Big Board is not
list radio, Dame. That's a little different. No, it's much different.
(07:13):
It's totally the board, not a list no, exactly. And
I tried to explain this to Terry, and Terry would
not he would have none of it. And several of
the listeners were upset, you just doing list radio now,
I said, no, I've never done list radio. You've known
me a long time, Danny, have I ever done list radio. No,
you've done board radio. That's right. I have. I have
(07:35):
had more people fall asleep listening to me than anyone else. Wow,
oh my, oh my god, that has happened. So anyway,
moving on, come back, it's sim call Mike from Fullerton
and so Cal Stones throw away from the Big A says,
(07:59):
I have a couple the project ideas for Danny G
The Science MC. What do you think about that? Danny
G The Science MC? Pretty cool? That's not bad, Mike says.
One of my favorites was the egg drop. Have the
kids build a container to prevent an egg from cracking
after a long fall. Yeah, that's not bad. Have you
done that one? I actually, um well, I haven't done
(08:21):
that at this school, but at my last school we
did do that, and I came in second place. I
challenged the kids. I made one myself, and this little
girl bend. She had this Lebron James look in her eyes,
and she told me, as she used the third roll
of tape, I am not gonna lose. I don't like losing. Good, damn,
(08:44):
you're in second grade. Where'd you get that fire from?
I like it to check whether or not her her
egg broke Ben It took a good six seven minutes
to untape and unwrap all the layers this girl had,
and she won the prize. She came in first place.
To what was her move? Like, how did she do it?
She just food, Yeah, just layer after layer she did,
(09:06):
like this whole kind of bubble tape system and then
had paper plates on the outside and then rolls of tape,
more rolls of tape. I mean it looked like this
huge bowling ball made out of tape. I like her
attitude to like if I was a scout, like looking
for someone. I want people that have that at it,
(09:27):
because they say, if you're passive, you can get buy
in your talent for a while. But I need people
that have that. I'm I'm not I'm not gonna lose,
you know, I'm going Yeah, Like she told me, I
do not lose. I do not like to lose. I
Am not going to lose. And she's looking me straight
in the eyes as she said those words, and I
was like, damn, this little girl means business. Sure enough,
(09:48):
she was the winner. There you go, all right, good
job by her. Here we go. I got mail, yea,
I got mail, yea. Fan Jimmy from big Orange Country rights,
and he says, well, why are y'all bleep been out
some cuss words on the podcast. Looks like Jimmy wants
some bad words. Let it go because it feels like
we're all hanging out in the backyard playing corn hole
(10:10):
and drinking beer, is what he's saying. So he would
like us to not bleep function all those words. He
wants all those words on the podcast. Is are there
a lot of bleeps on the podcast? Is this a fan? Well,
not a ton, But when we say really bad words,
you remember, we had quite a few listeners say they
(10:31):
like because they felt like when we curse, it's a
little unnatural because they don't hear us talk like that
on the radio. So when we do it, yeah, they're
like Ben Fields forced when he curses like that. If
you don't know the facts, then you got right at
the beginning of me working with you on this podcast,
(10:52):
I bleeped out our curse words and it was a
funny bit. It seems like you're listening to something you
shouldn't be listening to. All right, So this asshole Jimmy
Vols fan Jimmy, he's he wants to hear the curse words.
So here's the guy. I'm just for Jimmy. I'll let
a couple go. All right, you piece of shit all
(11:15):
you are such an asshole, you mother? Yeah, alright, okay,
all right, I'll keep it going on the mail bag.
And who is next? Enie meany mighty mo? Pick a letter?
I got a lot to choose from here. Let's say, hello,
we have Helen and Stu oh Mallard Town, USA. Helen
(11:37):
and stew checking in. Always a spicy hot couple when
they send in questions here. That's right, Helen says, Boys,
we are not back in Florida yet, crazy vacation recap
and next week's maybe by full shizzle fo drizzle. Helen writes.
(11:59):
She says, now on nan Tucket, we can tell you this.
Last week, one of you correctly guess the category for
which Stu almost died, And remember I did, Yes, what
was yours? I thought he almost fell off a cliff
when they were hiking. You thought he ate something bad? Yeah,
(12:24):
I thought he had a food reaction. That was one
of them working I think working out. Did I go
with the working out one or something? So? I think so? Anyway,
Helen says, is it you've been the distant relative of
Nostre damas or is it the experiment? Danny g Radio,
she's calling you the experience. By the way, we included
(12:47):
not one, but two category clues in this letter. Can
you find them? Can you solve the student death puzzle?
We he used to Please see you next week, Helen
and Stu mallardtown us. All right, so let's see what
the the clues are here? What do you think you're
(13:10):
the experiment? Is that a clue? ChIL? What's that? Is
this blues clues? Yeah? She said that. She said there
were some clues in the letter. H Well, what are
the clues? Yeah? I guess it's too early in the
morning for me to to put this together. I gotta
(13:30):
put the jigsaw puzzle together. Come on, Helen, this is
a mailbag, not a quiz. How dare you? What is
up with that? The safe travels you two kids and
said there would be no thinking on this podcast. I
know I turned my brain off here. What's wrong with you?
I mean, come on? Jennifer in Richmond, Virginia. Right. Since
(13:54):
it's Ben in Daniji, it was cool to see photos
of Louis and his person human man Matt in studio
with you, Jennifer says, when I make it out the
out that way later this year, would I also be
granted the privilege to sitting next to the great Ben Mallory. Wow,
I'll bring food for everyone and some merch from Richmond's
(14:15):
minor league baseball team, the Flying Squirrels featuring their mascot Nutsie.
It's very kind. How could I pass that up? Jennifer?
I love minor league baseball. I support minor league baseball.
I also love minor league baseball hats, unique cats. That
would be cool. The Flying Squirrels, So they have a
(14:35):
squirrel on the hat, that would be different. I don't
have a squirrel hat. At the old house, the old
Mallard mansion we used to have. There was something moving
around in the uh the attic, and we're pretty sure
it was a squirrel or two. We think there were
two squirrels in the attic. But I'll make a deal
with the Jennifer. Let me know. You gotta give me
some advanced notice here because my schedule every week is different.
(14:57):
Some weeks I come in on Monday or sun Day.
Some weeks that come in on Thursday or Friday. It
just really depends on how I'm feeling that week. But
if you let me know what when you're gonna be there,
we'll work something out. And also, as you know, Danny G,
when we have people and they're not allowed to stay,
like you can't stay for the whole show, you don't
stay for a little bit. I was just gonna mention
(15:18):
that you don't open your work email often. There was
actually an email from our boss, Scott Shapiro, and he
said about you having a guest for a segment, which
is okay, that it's one dollars from here on out
and that goes to the Danny g Runch Foundation. Yes,
the tickets, Well, that's a good idea, Danny. We could
(15:39):
we could put a couple of rows of folding chairs
in the studio and that'd be we could do all.
How about some podcasts they go out and do a
live podcast. We could like record the podcast somewhere. We
do Golden tickets, O, can you do a thing like this?
I was helping you bring that into the show back
in the day. We could go from golden tickets to
(16:01):
platinum seats. Oh yeah, platinum seats will be right next
to you for a segment. When I used to work
with Lee Hamilton's San Diego Hacksaw Hamilton's he did a
summer book tour which was just a killer of time
on the radio. But hacks I would do that, And
how about a summer podcast tour. One weekend we're in Minnesota,
(16:22):
we go to Cincinnati, We'll travel to you know whoever
you I want about Houston, but we'll pick some random cities.
I don't know about that. Uh well, we'll pick some
random places and we'll go have a fine time. Sounds good.
I'm sure my heart will pick up the tab for
that immediately. Yes, yes, they're on it right now and
(16:45):
absolutely whatever you need, whatever you need, they will be there.
Calm down, all right, come back, it's sign from now.
Call Evan in Kansas right soon, He says. Dear Ben,
I've noticed you've become quite the chef with what with
(17:06):
your grilling, baking, griddling. Recently I brought I bought an
air fryer, Bannon Danigy. Do you have any experience with
the air fryer. If so, what foods have you enjoyed? Yes, Kevin,
the air fryer is a sneaky good kitchen and device
it's wonderful. Now it's not as good as traditional fried food,
(17:28):
but it's not bad. And I love finger foods. I
got at Costco years ago. They had as a sampler
these little mini hardshell tacos as an appetizer. Have you
ever had those? You probably have? I have. And we
also get those Costco taketo's. Oh yeah, taketos are great.
The mini tacos are you know, they're hard to find,
(17:50):
those little mini tacos. They have chicken and beef corn
dogs from the corn dogs are oh yeah, Oh it's wonderful.
And you just it's like that late rom pop peel guy.
You set it and forget it. You put that stuff
in the air fryer. It's good to go. It's easy
to clean olive oil cooking spray and just coat the
layer of the air fryer pan. Yeah to go to Yeah. No,
(18:14):
I'm a big fan of the airfare Kevin, So I
recommend my top three the the mini tacos, Keto's and
the chicken finger so you can put chicken fingers in there.
Those are pretty good. Two fries you can put it
chicken wings in there. Yeah, fries, And we do the
sweet potato fries in there. Okay, yeah, I mean it's
(18:35):
it's really cool. It's good. And then you have something
in the oven if you're cooking something in the oven,
and then you can put the like the fries, the
side dish in the air fryer. And that's the way
to do it. Absolutely on that all right. Next up
on the male bag a mail bag, mailbag, mailbag, I
got mal yea, I got male Yea. Chris and Marri
(18:57):
Coca to Iowa. Right, So, he says, have you listened
to Heidi and Frank show out of Los Angeles or
do you know them? They used to do a bit
where they would send a playboy bunny to test the
fidelity of husbands at the request of the wife and
have them both on the air the following week. I'll
hang up and listen, says Chris. He has God Raiders,
(19:21):
So I know of Heidi and Frank. They've been on
l A radio for a long time. They used to
be Heidi Frank and was Frosty Heidi and Frank? Yeah, yeah,
Frosty was in there. They whacked Frosty, huh. I guess
they couldn't have he was he was a victim of
COVID right when COVID was starting. Oh he didn't die,
he just lost his you know, he was an early
COVID cut. Yeah he didn't yeah cut, yeah, dollary cut. Yeah,
(19:45):
I know about that. Uh So, anyway, I know of them,
I have not met them. I don't believe. I remember
Frank had his house burned down in a fire. I
heard about that in the one of the wildfires right
around my area here. So I don't know. Do you
know Heidi and Frank. I have met Frank. He's very cool,
and he's got a cannabis line right now that's doing well.
(20:07):
And they also have an alcohol beverage line that's doing well.
They got that right now. They got into the too
dream industries for radio people. Yeah, so then do they
do commercials on their show? Have to buy commercials? I
guess the radio station is cut in on the deal
because they get to freely promote both things, so hallelujah.
(20:34):
Or they take lesson salary and just make their money
on them. Yeah. Correct, the weed and the booze and
all that good stuff. All right, So there you go,
Danny has met Frank. Next up on the mail Bag,
Berry in Nashville, yo yo Ma, Barry. He says, Benny,
(20:54):
I think that you have a huge following in Nashville,
with many being ones and some just being active contributors.
So the question is when are you coming to Nashville
for a meet and greet. Barry says, you can visit
the Johnny Cash Museum, see a full scale replica of Partheon.
(21:17):
Is that how that said? Right? I think, uh, toward
the Country Music Hall of Fame, and you can even
visit the Honky Tonks on Broadway. But we uh, he says,
but we will meet off Broadway, maybe at Losers bar
On Division. We know you love Losers. Yes, So when
(21:37):
is this going to happen? Barry says, well, I would
like to get to Nashville. I know, Danny you've been there.
But the the Grand Old Opry. I watched the documentary
on PBS and I'd love to check that out. I know,
I guess they got rid of the original Grand Old Opry, right,
so it's a it's a new opery outside, but do
they have the original building? But the theater is still there? Yeah,
(21:58):
that's the one. The Ryman and when you go on
the Rhyman tour, it is amazing the history of that
building and they still put on shows there. Yeah, I'd
like to see that. And Johnny Cash that's my all
time great So I'd love to see the Johnny Cash Museum,
I swear to God. Yeah, Clay Travis Country and all that,
and why not. I that's a hip town. That's a
(22:20):
hipster town. Nashville, Tennessee. Now that's a lot of people moving.
And that that in Austin, Texas. Right, those are the
two here. Shout out to my friend j C. He
brought me to some wonderful food there when I was
in Nashville. Man, Uh, the sides bend, like the green
beans and biscuits and all the fixings, the collared greens
(22:42):
and everything. Oh my god, that food was delicious, those
southern southern portions, not those little teeny portions. I had
it to go box for sure. You had little doggie
bag going. You had that going for you. That's good, Okay.
I'd love to get to Nashville. The problem is, I've
determined the problem with all these things is money. It
always comes back to money. Like, if I had money, travels,
(23:04):
what gets you the travel? I gotta be like Lance
the Buster or Lance the Bus driver flies all over
the world. The guy from San Francisco because his wife
works at one of the airlines, so he gets free travel,
free air for it. The way to do it. Yeah, anyway,
all right, I'll keep it going on. This is next.
(23:25):
We have j Bone from Portland, Maine. J He says,
ben question for you, but it has a strong Danny
G tie. When Danny G left, at first it sucked.
Roberto stepped in. When Roberto said he would go with
the porn star, I knew we were in good hands.
When did you know? Not easy to fill Danny G's
(23:47):
shoes Almost impossible. I love all you guys and the
work you do. That's from J Bone. Will thank you
Jay Bone. Yeah, it was. When Danny left the show,
it was not easy. Danny. As you know, you're a
big part of the show and you were a big
part of what we did every day, and so when
you left, it was not not simple to just pick
up right right there. But and these things just kind
(24:08):
of happen. I don't believe in chemistry per se in
sports and all that, but it takes a little time.
There's a feeling out process, you gotta know, and when
you work with new people and eventually the pieces fit together.
So it takes a little bit of time. And Roberto
has been a good sport and he plays along with
the nonsense that we do, and so it's it's good.
(24:30):
And you did a great job, Danny when you left,
helping him out, showing him the way to how we do. Yeah,
I was gonna say, not that Roberto owes me anything,
but there were three different people in a rotate. He
probably sometimes wishes I didn't train him so well and
he didn't get the job, But there were three guys
(24:51):
that were like in the rotation. And I remember the bosses,
the two bosses that we have coming to me both
asking who do you think out of the three could
hack it with Ben every night. Roberto's personality and the
way he was willing to kind of keep our traditions
going that sold me on the fact that he would
(25:11):
do a great job. Yeah, I know, it's it's uh,
it's it's worked out well. And it's been been a
while now and so everyone's kind of locked in roll
with a bunch of When I started the show, I
had Jake was my board up Stay Awake with Jake
and Bob Garrot was my producer I had. He had,
He's been there all the way through. Yeah, this this
(25:32):
incarnation of the show. Yeah, And Bobo trained me on
the equipment when I started with you Bobo on the radio,
which I mean, there wasn't much training needed. It was
the same equipment I had just come from at NBC.
But as far as the ins and outs of your show,
Bobo was the one who sat with me and kind
of explained your show tuning as far as the things
(25:55):
I needed to do and drops and all that, and
then I took it and ran from there to this day.
Whenever being Boba are talking, He's like, so, Julie, equipment here,
I'm the O g I'm a veteran, and I'm like,
all right, Bobo, you the O g uh Man. All right,
let's keep it going on the mail bag and who
(26:16):
is next? Any meany Miney mo Amish writes it says,
have you have either of you been to the Tilted
Kilt in Orange, California and your Anaheim Stadium, Angel Stadium whatever? Says,
I plan on intending an Angel game in mid August,
and I wanted to know if that's a good pregame spot.
Have you first off them? Angels. That's sorry. They're not
(26:39):
friendly with us. They did not like us. They are
very rude. They had to lose all those games. Yeah,
they're they're so great with media relations unless they're not. Yeah, exactly.
Uh So I have not been. I know that Tilted Kilt.
There's a few locations like in like Vegas, right, there's
a it's a it's all. They're all all over the country.
(27:00):
I think, I don't. I don't believe I've been to
the one in in Orders. There's some some good place
back in the older. I have not been to Anaheim
very regularly in a long time. Back in my day,
I spent many a night. There was a place called
the National Sports Grill, which no longer is in business.
And then the catch, which I think is that still
(27:21):
around the catch I'm not sure. I know that. I
went to a Tilted Kilt in Santa Clarita when it
opened there. And if you're not familiar, it's like Hooters,
but better food. Okay, Yeah, Tilted Kilt has women that
are dressed kind of uh eyes to please the eyes. Yeah,
(27:42):
I like to enhance the food and drink. Yeah. Yeah,
So I can't help you on that, Amish but I
I do. It looks like it's still open to catch.
Oh no, it's permanently close. I take that back. But
there you go. COVID. Yeah, COVID. Everybody knows you catch
the of COVID at the catch. Uh yeah, I went
(28:03):
on their website. Uh yeah, they're they're They're done. That's it.
That's too bad. But there there's I from what I understand,
there's a lot of restaurants around there now that weren't
there when I used to cover the Angels. I was
there all the time, and there wasn't a lot going
on in in Anah, And there was a pancake place.
A lot of the guys would go through, twenty four
hour place that had really huge pancakes that was not
(28:25):
far away from Anaheim Stadium. Next up, Pandemic Ben change
your name from catch to the Cure. That's a good
point from marketing standpoint. It's sign from that. I'll call
all right. Next up, Pierre in Springfield. Pierre and Springfield
rights in. He says, with this being a holiday weekend
(28:50):
and Sunday into Monday show being the actual holiday, do
you have access to the schedule in advance or do
you find out just before the show. I'm guessing that
corporate coupe and every holiday off, Eddie will not be in.
It's probably fifty fifty on whether or not Roberto shows up.
(29:11):
Can you give us the game day starters so we
know how much to drink just in case Ned Flanders
shows up? Well? Shots fired, Pierre. The way this works,
not to get too inside radio, but they do send
out a schedule. I don't often check it, so sometimes
(29:32):
I won't check it. But Thursday is normally a schedule day.
Is that when that goes out? Thursday? Yeah? Do you
want me to look up the schedule really quick? I
don't know. I might be depressed. Eddie told me he's
going to be in Sunday in the Monday. They gave
him the option, and so he's taking Monday into Tuesday off.
(29:53):
I don't care. I'm leaving goodbye. So he's gonna work
on the fourth and then take July. If because the
way we do this, doing the overnight show, you end
up having if you if you take a holiday, if
you still ended having to work on the holiday, cun
because we cross over the the Rubicon in the overnight,
(30:14):
so we start on the West coast. The show starts
at eleven pm and goes to three am. And so
let's say I took July four off, I would be
off on Sunday in the Monday, but then I'd have
to still work on the fourth of July that night.
So what's I always like, what's the point of that? Now?
I am going to have to take a Sunday off
(30:34):
at some point because I have some relatives coming in
from back East and I I haven't seen these people
in years, like some of that I haven't seen a kid.
So I'm gonna take My cousins are having like a
big family thing, so I'm gonna take some time off,
like one day to hang out with them, which I
think is okay. So I don't know whether I'll use
my comp day from June tenth or July four, but
(30:57):
one of those will be used one of those movies.
So yeah, the schedule, we we have access to it,
but I usually don't work. I usually don't look and
I like to be surprised. July four is one of
my favorite holidays. I love the smell of the suntan
lotion and the fireworks exploding and the fact that you
(31:19):
could see multiple fireworks shows going at the same time
based on where you're at on the coast in California.
I've always liked it since I was a little kid.
I thought it was the coolest holiday. Yeah, I'm a
fan of the Fourth of July too, And I remember
when I was a fund memories of my mom taking
us because I grew up in Orange County, and she
(31:40):
take us to Disneyland, but we wouldn't actually go to
disney and we park outside Disneyland. We're just see the
free fireworks show. And she knew. My mom knew, and
this is the days before maps or before GPS and
all that stuff, so she had to like scout it
out and she knew exactly where to go. Parked the car,
(32:00):
we have the perfect view of the fireworks and that's
how we would roll. And even to this day at Disneyland,
when you drive, if you drive up and down the
Interstate five around nine thirty, there's a fireworks show every
night at Disneyland, and they shoot the fireworks off in
(32:21):
the back part of Disneyland, which is right up against
the highway, So if you're driving at that time, you
get a pyrotechnic show right right next to the highways.
Why traffic slows down? Everyone's hitting their lights when you
when you do. I've driven by there a few times.
It's pretty wild. Love it. Yeah, it was the one
(32:42):
time a year my mom let us climb up and
sit on the roof. So that's another good memory. But yeah, yeah,
you would make I remember she'd make popcorn and we
would literally take bowls of popcorn up to the roof
and a local college shot off fireworks and we'd watch
those while we eat the popcorn. That's awesome, That's that's cool,
(33:03):
fun fun memories. I also my my dad was terrible
at barbecuing. My mom was the cook, so we'd always
like burgers and hot dogs and all that and usually
was just my mom making them. My dad had no
clue how to handle any of that stuff, but that
that was how we my dad. If you leave him
on the barbecue everything, I like burned food, but I
don't like stuff that burn, you know what I'm saying.
(33:25):
Like he would go over the over the edge because
he just he'd said he'd leave it there and just
walk away or not pay attention and all that stuff.
He made hockey punks pretty much pretty much. He he
did Anyway, moving on, Pierre, thank you for that. Next
up we say hello too. Let's see here Randy and Pittsburgh.
(33:47):
P A writes in why do you allow your staff
to hey on Pete and Pittsburgh. Oh yeah, Pete called
up this week, Danny, I heard, Yeah, Pete called up.
Randy says, let the audience decide what a good call is,
and then he takes a shot at the staff. He says,
California liberals are not the judge of entertainment. Trust me,
(34:10):
you think I actually thought it was funny man. The
banter between you and Pete. I got a kick out of.
He is a show legend, and of course he was
a mini legend on the Stern Show before your show. Yes, yes,
I I it was wonderful. I like when Pete checks
and he checks in every year or six months piece,
one of the great callers and talk radio. I'm a
(34:32):
fan of what Pete does. Pete only calls us up
though these days when he's completely slashed, when he's been
out drinking at the bar, and he's up because he's
I don't know what he's got going on in his
life these days, but it ain't our show. And he
doesn't call radio shows. I think he's also become very
political as he's gotten older. Now Pete was calling the
show in his early twenties and now Pezze in his forties.
(34:54):
So you know, you know, we're all in a different
place when our twenties to our thirties, to our forties
to our fifties, and he was in a different spot
in But Jonas, actually the great Jonas Knox I was.
I saw him on my way out the other day
and he sent me a link some Stern fans had
put on on YouTube and it was a classic Stern
(35:14):
call from back in the day. Pittsburgh Pete. That's what
he's known on on Stern Show. That's what he was
knowing on Pittsburgh. Not Pete on our show. It's Pete
and Pittsburgh on the Stern Show was Pittsburgh Pete. And
he and already Lane got into it. He was busting
already Langs balls and Already just exploded at Pittsburgh Pete.
It's on YouTube. It was hilarious, and Already just said
(35:37):
all these amazing offensive things about uh, the Puerto Rican
parade and what should happen to Pete and Pittsburgh and
it was unbelievab It was hilarious, so funny. See, you
have to appreciate when you hear a legend's voice on
the radio. I didn't really care about him repeating himself
or whatever the complaints might be. Just to hear his
(35:59):
voice was kind of cool. I thought, yeah, And I
do get this a lot. And Randy, you're not alone
like the guys my taste and caller and what the
the guys like Roberto and Coop get very upset at
certain people the call. Sure, those guys the callus, I
think are hilarious and they're like, oh, this guy is terrible.
I don't like this guy. You know, let's get rid
of it. I mean, no, no, no, no, that's a
(36:19):
good call I enjoy it. What are you doing to me?
And then hey, there's a caller for everybody. Uh. In fact,
when I was getting ahold of your boy, Chestnut, his
PR department said, I know, Mallory, that's the guy with
all those crazy callers. That's right. See, we're known for
the crazy caller. That's how that works. That's how he
(36:39):
described you. He's like, I've listened to that show plenty
of times exactly. That's what I'm saying, that's the that's
the secret sauce dandy, right, that's the key, and there's
a crazy caller for every different taste. Yeah, you can't
chase the way these guys, Like, these guys were busting
that the trash guy, the one eyed trash guy from
(37:00):
Hawaii who's supposed to do a daredevil stunt on the show,
and he hadn't called. Uh, you know, I had heard
her from him as we're doing this podcast. I haven't
heard from a while, so and like these guys are
trying to chase him away and I'm like, no, no,
no, no no, Roberto. He did not like that guy. Joe
and Rhode Island. I thought Joe was hilarious. Joe and
(37:20):
the guy that went on and just uh would would
scream at me Joe and run the traditional New England
sports radio caller. The guy's a bumb that guy. We're
trying to chase him a way, and I did chase
him way. He changed jobs. But anyway, all right, Time
for a couple more Rachel, she says, is moving Man
Matt single. So she she liked hearing Moving Man Matt
(37:42):
in studio, but unfortunately Rachel Moving Man Matt is not single,
and it's amazing that Matt has been able to keep
that marriage going. Danny, he's on the road like three
hundred days a year. He's never home. Yeah, he's always working,
so he you know, he's a long haul East coast,
(38:03):
west coast, south northwest. He goes everywhere. He's like a musician,
traveling concert to concert. He and Louis. Sorry, Richard, but
if you would like to date a member of the
Mallem militia, Rachel, we can play the dating game on
the show. We can have no, no no, no, Rachel. Listen.
(38:25):
We have some very attractive bachelors on the show. Would
you like to get your hands on Flexus? That's a
that's a catch. Also, who else do we have? We
have a blind Scott another catch? Flexus has an amazing personality.
That is true. We have Hallereen, James Holler and James
would be a big fan Holler and James would follow
(38:46):
you around Rachel like a puppy dog. Okay, he doesn't
snore at all. You want to have a party Jed
who fled? Big party with Jed? A bunch of hookers
and cocaine. Interesting cat there you can go down on
the list. There's so many to choose from here. But
(39:08):
let me know, Rachel, if you want, if you're an
eligible bachelorette, we can play the dating game. I used
to do that every Valentine's Day. We would do some
kind of bit with that, but we haven't haven't done
that in a while. That's how Man Hippy met his
wife I Love You on on the on the show,
on the show, Yeah there you go. Fred from Spring
(39:30):
Texas writes in we'll do this, We'll get out on
this one. He says, do either of you have lucky numbers?
How did you get them? And how do you use
I don't like lucky lucky. I when I played football,
I was number seventy nine, So I was like, I
guess a lucky number. It's a fat guy number. Yeah,
(39:50):
good fat lineman number. Good, fat lineman. I have any
There's certain numbers I gravitate too, but I don't know
that they're my lucky numbers. So I would I would,
So I would say, no, Fred, what what about you did?
I do? I have to? And they are both football related.
The Great number thirty two you know Marcus Allen, Right, Yeah,
(40:13):
the Great number thirty four that Bo Jackson. Yeah, so
everything as a kid was thirty two, thirty four, thirty four,
the greatest running back combo to ever assemble in the backfield. Well,
the greatest video game character of all time. My opinion,
(40:33):
forget Michael Vick, I'm I'm old school, I go Bo Jackson. Yeah.
Too bad. That Marcus Allen banged one of Al Davis's chicks.
Allegedly that the alleged beef between Al Davis and Marcus
Allen was that Al Davis asked Marcus nicely to stay
away from his mistress, okay because he was married. Al was,
(40:57):
and Marcus smiled and said, yeah, right out, and he
banged her. And where do white women at? And al
Davis was like, I asked this guy to do one
thing and he couldn't even keep his snake in its cage.
The lore, the legend is that that's what caused the
beef between those two guys. Marcus Allen just had to
bang every white chicken saw well, And for those who
(41:21):
don't know the store if you're too young, like Marcus
Allen was a great player for the Raiders and was
in purgatory with the race like they pretty much benched
him they downsized his role in the team. He wasn't hurt. No. Yeah,
he sat on the bench a lot in favor of
(41:41):
Bo Jackson was the team, but every time Marcus came
in he tore it up. And prior to that little beef,
he had been one of the best running backs on
the field in the entire league. And he would do
that amazing move over the top where anytime the team
got down near the goal line, they would give him
the ball and he would fly in there like Superman
(42:02):
into the end zone. He was amazing as a tiny
little kid watching that. I was in kindergarten with a
l a Raiders jersey and we would watch Marcus Allen
go over the top and that started my love for football.
And the rest of your life is women. Yeah. Well,
(42:23):
there is a phrase there that Marcus Allen probably should
have followed me. It's something like you don't where you
eat or something like that. Right. Uh, don't sleep with
the boss's mistress. Uh. If the team's owner asked you
for one favor, you might want to oblige. Has there
ever been an NFL owner that doesn't have a mistress?
(42:45):
Does that exist? Is that? I don't think so? Probably not.
Probably not so in these days though, in the age
of Twitter. If that's if that is true, what happened
with the Raiders if that was today? Oh can you
imagine what a scandal t MC dot com baby, the
stories on the woman would the mistress would sue to
(43:09):
be a lawsuit against Al Davis, the Marcus Allen and
all this. Oh my god. Anyway, all right, we'll get
out of here. Enjoy the fourth of July. I will
be in. We will have live shows tonight and the
entire week, and I got nothing else going on, so
I'll be in hanging out doing radio and love for
(43:30):
you to call in if you haven't called in you
want to talk on the show, or you want to
just listen and send us goofy things on Twitter and
all that. But we will have live original shows all
week long. And I know, Danny, you're busting it as well. Yeah,
I'll be there this afternoon and evening for the Covino
and Rich show, and then Chris Plank and Arnie Spaniard
(43:52):
right before your first show of the week. Out standing.
All right, let'sen have a great rest of your day today.
And if you missed any of these podcasts over the weekend.
I cannot thank Joey Chestnut enough for coming on. It
was awesome to talk to Joey. One of the highlights
of this podcast, and thanks to Danny for getting him
(44:13):
on there. So if you missed that, this is a
great time to listen today or tomorrow morning, because tomorrow
is today. On Monday is the Nathan's Annual Hot Dog
Eating Contest. It is the day where Joey Chestnut is
the most famous athlete in American sport. His day to
dominate the headlines. He will be on Sports Center, He'll
be on all the shows. Everyone will be talking about
(44:34):
Joey Chestnut, good, bad or ugly because he is the
straw that stirs the drink in Major league eating. So
we look forward to seeing and and you know, is
this gonna be the end? Is this the last one?
Joey Chestnut is thirty nine years old, so is he
gonna keep going into his forties? How long can the
body hold up? We'll find out. And Ben, it didn't
(44:58):
surprise me too that the people at Nathan's were big
Ben Mallor fans. One of your most famous drops over
the years, I like the extended winner. Well that was
said in a joking manner, out of context, by the way,
that is the way it is played. But anyway, all right,
enough of that, have a great day. We'll catch you
next time. Happy fourth of July. Yes, happy birthday America.
(45:24):
God best America. Later, skater gotta murder, Gotta go.
Ka boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes
a week was enough, I think again. He's the last
remnants of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness.
He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as
the rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of
hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
(00:23):
with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere
back in the podcast do Joe Holiday weekend or not?
The show must go on. It is another addition of
the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny G Radio.
(00:48):
Ready to dazzle you as we go into the mail Bag.
Not a high maintenance podcast, Danny G. I always look
forward to the mail Bag podcast because you never know.
It's like a box of that you never know what
you're gonna get. It's kind of like a Dodger relief picture.
You never know what you're gonna get. Yeah, it's an
extended version of Ask Ben, which was always one of
(01:09):
my favorite features on your live show. Yeah. Now it
sounds like ask Man, but this is not asked Bend Anny.
This is no, no, no, this this is a totally
different feature. Alright, totally different. People always confuse this with
Aspen and I don't understand why this is. This is
(01:29):
nothing like, nothing like ask Ben, unless it's a mirror image. No, no, no, no, no,
no you, no one, No one would be so lazy
is to copy a bit from the radio show and
put it on the podcast. Who would do that? You'd
be You'd be going bonkers if you did that. This
isn't not the number one station anymore? Is it? Without
further ado, let's strike up the band. Ohio al is
(01:52):
here and into the mail bag we go. It's good job,
Ohio all. And these are actual questions sent in by
(02:16):
actual listeners like yourself. We have many repeat customers, which
we love, but we also enjoy getting new people to
send us questions. And you can do that a couple
of different ways. If you've just stumbled on the podcast,
the Facebook page every Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday, So that's one
way to do it on the Facebook page. But you
can send a question in anytime. You can do it
(02:37):
right now, you can do it five minutes from now,
you can do it tomorrow. You don't have to wait
till Tuesday. Real fifth hour at gmail dot com. That
is the address, put mail in the headline on that
Real Fifth Hour at gmail dot com, and we may
read your question on the show. Now, before we get
(02:59):
into the official official mailbag, I did get a message
from one of our our faithful listeners, which I was
a little worried about. I don't worry about, and I
didn't put this in the mailbag, so this is not
really the official start of the mailbag, but it was
a message. So I got an email from one of
(03:19):
our fans in northern California, Robbie, who he had mentioned
that I was complaining on the show about the only
mail we get at the mother Ship is from Andy Ferman.
I want a mature guy. I was trying to figure
out how this is like a national network, five affiliates,
(03:40):
satellite radio, international audience and the only male I ever
see is from Andy Ferman, And I was like, what's
up with that? So anyway, Robbie sent a message in
and he attached some pictures here of the gift that
he had sent back in. We talked about this. This
thing got stuck in storage because I moved right after
(04:00):
I got the gift and I didn't have a chance
to open it, and so we talked about this on
the podcast. So anyway, I was trying to find the
date of the podcast, Danny. I could not find it.
But Robbie sent me a message like, hey, you know,
here's mayl. You didn't open this, So I was I
was a little bummed up because I was like, well,
we did open. I did a whole thing on the podcast.
We talked about that, Remember, Danny, we did a whole
(04:20):
thing podcast about Robbie and he sent a very nice letter,
and we read the letter on the show and he
talked about how special the wood was that was used.
It was old wood that was used for the cutting
board and the what's that thee Yeah, yeah, So I
don't know which show it was. All these shows they
(04:43):
they roll one after another and I don't We don't
have a good log of them. I don't anyway, Maybe
you do, Danny, but I don't have a good log.
And so I went back and I tried to find
I couldnot find the date on that. That was a
fake start. That was a false flag start. Let's get
into a Now the real mail bag begins and mail
(05:05):
all right, Jason from Rocky Non Virginia Rights and says, hey, guys,
I did a bit thinking about it, and maybe Danny
G should be referred to. Oh, this is the nickname thing, Danny,
Remember you wanted a nickname. Danny should be referred to
as Doc, as in Doc Brown from Back to the
Future for science experiments your thust. Do you do you
want to be called Doc? Well? That is one of
(05:26):
my favorite movies from the eighties. It's a solid film. Yeah,
just Josh, he tweeted us. The Darwin of Dodgeball. That's
the man who put the O G in scientology. Yeah.
I like it. It's a little Tom cruise ish there.
He says. Coming up with a new nickname is tough.
(05:47):
Since you've gone Danny G. The science on me going
with the scientifical turntable of elementary ins. Wow, that's a
long one. That's a mouthful. Yeah, I'm didn't nickname. They
gotta be short. The Darwin of dodge that's that is solid. Yeah,
(06:09):
because it combines the two things science and earlier in
the school year beating all those kids in the head
with the dodgeballs. That's true. Stop bad. And I gotta
thank Terry really quick because he sent me some lesson plans.
Oh he did nice he's also a teacher. Yeah sweet, yeah,
(06:30):
thank you Terry from England. Yeah yeah, Terry has been
listening for a long time. He's a ham radio guy
like my dad used to be back in the day
and all that. Yeah, Terry very opinionated, that guy, Terry,
he does not, he does not. One of his emails
had this whole thing on parachutes. And so last week
a big part of my week was teaching the kids
(06:52):
all about parachutes. And then we spent a couple of
days making those cool toy parachutes. Oh that is neat.
I like it, loved it. Terry got upset with me.
He said, I did list radio, he yelled at me.
But I did not do list radio. I did Big
Ben's Big Board, and Big Ben's Big Board is not
list radio, Dame. That's a little different. No, it's much different.
(07:13):
It's totally the board, not a list no, exactly. And
I tried to explain this to Terry, and Terry would
not he would have none of it. And several of
the listeners were upset, you just doing list radio now,
I said, no, I've never done list radio. You've known
me a long time, Danny, have I ever done list radio. No,
you've done board radio. That's right. I have. I have
(07:35):
had more people fall asleep listening to me than anyone else. Wow,
oh my, oh my god, that has happened. So anyway,
moving on, come back, it's sim call Mike from Fullerton
and so Cal Stones throw away from the Big A says,
(07:59):
I have a couple the project ideas for Danny G
The Science MC. What do you think about that? Danny
G The Science MC? Pretty cool? That's not bad, Mike says.
One of my favorites was the egg drop. Have the
kids build a container to prevent an egg from cracking
after a long fall. Yeah, that's not bad. Have you
done that one? I actually, um well, I haven't done
(08:21):
that at this school, but at my last school we
did do that, and I came in second place. I
challenged the kids. I made one myself, and this little
girl bend. She had this Lebron James look in her eyes,
and she told me, as she used the third roll
of tape, I am not gonna lose. I don't like losing. Good, damn,
(08:44):
you're in second grade. Where'd you get that fire from?
I like it to check whether or not her her
egg broke Ben It took a good six seven minutes
to untape and unwrap all the layers this girl had,
and she won the prize. She came in first place.
To what was her move? Like, how did she do it?
She just food, Yeah, just layer after layer she did,
(09:06):
like this whole kind of bubble tape system and then
had paper plates on the outside and then rolls of tape,
more rolls of tape. I mean it looked like this
huge bowling ball made out of tape. I like her
attitude to like if I was a scout, like looking
for someone. I want people that have that at it,
(09:27):
because they say, if you're passive, you can get buy
in your talent for a while. But I need people
that have that. I'm I'm not I'm not gonna lose,
you know, I'm going Yeah, Like she told me, I
do not lose. I do not like to lose. I
Am not going to lose. And she's looking me straight
in the eyes as she said those words, and I
was like, damn, this little girl means business. Sure enough,
(09:48):
she was the winner. There you go, all right, good
job by her. Here we go. I got mail, yea,
I got mail, yea. Fan Jimmy from big Orange Country rights,
and he says, well, why are y'all bleep been out
some cuss words on the podcast. Looks like Jimmy wants
some bad words. Let it go because it feels like
we're all hanging out in the backyard playing corn hole
(10:10):
and drinking beer, is what he's saying. So he would
like us to not bleep function all those words. He
wants all those words on the podcast. Is are there
a lot of bleeps on the podcast? Is this a fan? Well,
not a ton, But when we say really bad words,
you remember, we had quite a few listeners say they
(10:31):
like because they felt like when we curse, it's a
little unnatural because they don't hear us talk like that
on the radio. So when we do it, yeah, they're
like Ben Fields forced when he curses like that. If
you don't know the facts, then you got right at
the beginning of me working with you on this podcast,
(10:52):
I bleeped out our curse words and it was a
funny bit. It seems like you're listening to something you
shouldn't be listening to. All right, So this asshole Jimmy
Vols fan Jimmy, he's he wants to hear the curse words.
So here's the guy. I'm just for Jimmy. I'll let
a couple go. All right, you piece of shit all
(11:15):
you are such an asshole, you mother? Yeah, alright, okay,
all right, I'll keep it going on the mail bag.
And who is next? Enie meany mighty mo? Pick a letter?
I got a lot to choose from here. Let's say, hello,
we have Helen and Stu oh Mallard Town, USA. Helen
(11:37):
and stew checking in. Always a spicy hot couple when
they send in questions here. That's right, Helen says, Boys,
we are not back in Florida yet, crazy vacation recap
and next week's maybe by full shizzle fo drizzle. Helen writes.
(11:59):
She says, now on nan Tucket, we can tell you this.
Last week, one of you correctly guess the category for
which Stu almost died, And remember I did, Yes, what
was yours? I thought he almost fell off a cliff
when they were hiking. You thought he ate something bad? Yeah,
(12:24):
I thought he had a food reaction. That was one
of them working I think working out. Did I go
with the working out one or something? So? I think so? Anyway,
Helen says, is it you've been the distant relative of
Nostre damas or is it the experiment? Danny g Radio,
she's calling you the experience. By the way, we included
(12:47):
not one, but two category clues in this letter. Can
you find them? Can you solve the student death puzzle?
We he used to Please see you next week, Helen
and Stu mallardtown us. All right, so let's see what
the the clues are here? What do you think you're
(13:10):
the experiment? Is that a clue? ChIL? What's that? Is
this blues clues? Yeah? She said that. She said there
were some clues in the letter. H Well, what are
the clues? Yeah? I guess it's too early in the
morning for me to to put this together. I gotta
(13:30):
put the jigsaw puzzle together. Come on, Helen, this is
a mailbag, not a quiz. How dare you? What is
up with that? The safe travels you two kids and
said there would be no thinking on this podcast. I
know I turned my brain off here. What's wrong with you?
I mean, come on? Jennifer in Richmond, Virginia. Right. Since
(13:54):
it's Ben in Daniji, it was cool to see photos
of Louis and his person human man Matt in studio
with you, Jennifer says, when I make it out the
out that way later this year, would I also be
granted the privilege to sitting next to the great Ben Mallory. Wow,
I'll bring food for everyone and some merch from Richmond's
(14:15):
minor league baseball team, the Flying Squirrels featuring their mascot Nutsie.
It's very kind. How could I pass that up? Jennifer?
I love minor league baseball. I support minor league baseball.
I also love minor league baseball hats, unique cats. That
would be cool. The Flying Squirrels, So they have a
(14:35):
squirrel on the hat, that would be different. I don't
have a squirrel hat. At the old house, the old
Mallard mansion we used to have. There was something moving
around in the uh the attic, and we're pretty sure
it was a squirrel or two. We think there were
two squirrels in the attic. But I'll make a deal
with the Jennifer. Let me know. You gotta give me
some advanced notice here because my schedule every week is different.
(14:57):
Some weeks I come in on Monday or sun Day.
Some weeks that come in on Thursday or Friday. It
just really depends on how I'm feeling that week. But
if you let me know what when you're gonna be there,
we'll work something out. And also, as you know, Danny G,
when we have people and they're not allowed to stay,
like you can't stay for the whole show, you don't
stay for a little bit. I was just gonna mention
(15:18):
that you don't open your work email often. There was
actually an email from our boss, Scott Shapiro, and he
said about you having a guest for a segment, which
is okay, that it's one dollars from here on out
and that goes to the Danny g Runch Foundation. Yes,
the tickets, Well, that's a good idea, Danny. We could
(15:39):
we could put a couple of rows of folding chairs
in the studio and that'd be we could do all.
How about some podcasts they go out and do a
live podcast. We could like record the podcast somewhere. We
do Golden tickets, O, can you do a thing like this?
I was helping you bring that into the show back
in the day. We could go from golden tickets to
(16:01):
platinum seats. Oh yeah, platinum seats will be right next
to you for a segment. When I used to work
with Lee Hamilton's San Diego Hacksaw Hamilton's he did a
summer book tour which was just a killer of time
on the radio. But hacks I would do that, And
how about a summer podcast tour. One weekend we're in Minnesota,
(16:22):
we go to Cincinnati, We'll travel to you know whoever
you I want about Houston, but we'll pick some random cities.
I don't know about that. Uh well, we'll pick some
random places and we'll go have a fine time. Sounds good.
I'm sure my heart will pick up the tab for
that immediately. Yes, yes, they're on it right now and
(16:45):
absolutely whatever you need, whatever you need, they will be there.
Calm down, all right, come back, it's sign from now.
Call Evan in Kansas right soon, He says. Dear Ben,
I've noticed you've become quite the chef with what with
(17:06):
your grilling, baking, griddling. Recently I brought I bought an
air fryer, Bannon Danigy. Do you have any experience with
the air fryer. If so, what foods have you enjoyed? Yes, Kevin,
the air fryer is a sneaky good kitchen and device
it's wonderful. Now it's not as good as traditional fried food,
(17:28):
but it's not bad. And I love finger foods. I
got at Costco years ago. They had as a sampler
these little mini hardshell tacos as an appetizer. Have you
ever had those? You probably have? I have. And we
also get those Costco taketo's. Oh yeah, taketos are great.
The mini tacos are you know, they're hard to find,
(17:50):
those little mini tacos. They have chicken and beef corn
dogs from the corn dogs are oh yeah, Oh it's wonderful.
And you just it's like that late rom pop peel guy.
You set it and forget it. You put that stuff
in the air fryer. It's good to go. It's easy
to clean olive oil cooking spray and just coat the
layer of the air fryer pan. Yeah to go to Yeah. No,
(18:14):
I'm a big fan of the airfare Kevin, So I
recommend my top three the the mini tacos, Keto's and
the chicken finger so you can put chicken fingers in there.
Those are pretty good. Two fries you can put it
chicken wings in there. Yeah, fries, And we do the
sweet potato fries in there. Okay, yeah, I mean it's
(18:35):
it's really cool. It's good. And then you have something
in the oven if you're cooking something in the oven,
and then you can put the like the fries, the
side dish in the air fryer. And that's the way
to do it. Absolutely on that all right. Next up
on the male bag a mail bag, mailbag, mailbag, I
got mal yea, I got male Yea. Chris and Marri
(18:57):
Coca to Iowa. Right, So, he says, have you listened
to Heidi and Frank show out of Los Angeles or
do you know them? They used to do a bit
where they would send a playboy bunny to test the
fidelity of husbands at the request of the wife and
have them both on the air the following week. I'll
hang up and listen, says Chris. He has God Raiders,
(19:21):
So I know of Heidi and Frank. They've been on
l A radio for a long time. They used to
be Heidi Frank and was Frosty Heidi and Frank? Yeah, yeah,
Frosty was in there. They whacked Frosty, huh. I guess
they couldn't have he was he was a victim of
COVID right when COVID was starting. Oh he didn't die,
he just lost his you know, he was an early
COVID cut. Yeah he didn't yeah cut, yeah, dollary cut. Yeah,
(19:45):
I know about that. Uh So, anyway, I know of them,
I have not met them. I don't believe. I remember
Frank had his house burned down in a fire. I
heard about that in the one of the wildfires right
around my area here. So I don't know. Do you
know Heidi and Frank. I have met Frank. He's very cool,
and he's got a cannabis line right now that's doing well.
(20:07):
And they also have an alcohol beverage line that's doing well.
They got that right now. They got into the too
dream industries for radio people. Yeah, so then do they
do commercials on their show? Have to buy commercials? I
guess the radio station is cut in on the deal
because they get to freely promote both things, so hallelujah.
(20:34):
Or they take lesson salary and just make their money
on them. Yeah. Correct, the weed and the booze and
all that good stuff. All right, So there you go,
Danny has met Frank. Next up on the mail Bag,
Berry in Nashville, yo yo Ma, Barry. He says, Benny,
(20:54):
I think that you have a huge following in Nashville,
with many being ones and some just being active contributors.
So the question is when are you coming to Nashville
for a meet and greet. Barry says, you can visit
the Johnny Cash Museum, see a full scale replica of Partheon.
(21:17):
Is that how that said? Right? I think, uh, toward
the Country Music Hall of Fame, and you can even
visit the Honky Tonks on Broadway. But we uh, he says,
but we will meet off Broadway, maybe at Losers bar
On Division. We know you love Losers. Yes, So when
(21:37):
is this going to happen? Barry says, well, I would
like to get to Nashville. I know, Danny you've been there.
But the the Grand Old Opry. I watched the documentary
on PBS and I'd love to check that out. I know,
I guess they got rid of the original Grand Old Opry, right,
so it's a it's a new opery outside, but do
they have the original building? But the theater is still there? Yeah,
(21:58):
that's the one. The Ryman and when you go on
the Rhyman tour, it is amazing the history of that
building and they still put on shows there. Yeah, I'd
like to see that. And Johnny Cash that's my all
time great So I'd love to see the Johnny Cash Museum,
I swear to God. Yeah, Clay Travis Country and all that,
and why not. I that's a hip town. That's a
(22:20):
hipster town. Nashville, Tennessee. Now that's a lot of people moving.
And that that in Austin, Texas. Right, those are the
two here. Shout out to my friend j C. He
brought me to some wonderful food there when I was
in Nashville. Man, Uh, the sides bend, like the green
beans and biscuits and all the fixings, the collared greens
(22:42):
and everything. Oh my god, that food was delicious, those
southern southern portions, not those little teeny portions. I had
it to go box for sure. You had little doggie
bag going. You had that going for you. That's good, Okay.
I'd love to get to Nashville. The problem is, I've
determined the problem with all these things is money. It
always comes back to money. Like, if I had money, travels,
(23:04):
what gets you the travel? I gotta be like Lance
the Buster or Lance the Bus driver flies all over
the world. The guy from San Francisco because his wife
works at one of the airlines, so he gets free travel,
free air for it. The way to do it. Yeah, anyway,
all right, I'll keep it going on. This is next.
(23:25):
We have j Bone from Portland, Maine. J He says,
ben question for you, but it has a strong Danny
G tie. When Danny G left, at first it sucked.
Roberto stepped in. When Roberto said he would go with
the porn star, I knew we were in good hands.
When did you know? Not easy to fill Danny G's
(23:47):
shoes Almost impossible. I love all you guys and the
work you do. That's from J Bone. Will thank you
Jay Bone. Yeah, it was. When Danny left the show,
it was not easy. Danny. As you know, you're a
big part of the show and you were a big
part of what we did every day, and so when
you left, it was not not simple to just pick
up right right there. But and these things just kind
(24:08):
of happen. I don't believe in chemistry per se in
sports and all that, but it takes a little time.
There's a feeling out process, you gotta know, and when
you work with new people and eventually the pieces fit together.
So it takes a little bit of time. And Roberto
has been a good sport and he plays along with
the nonsense that we do, and so it's it's good.
(24:30):
And you did a great job, Danny when you left,
helping him out, showing him the way to how we do. Yeah,
I was gonna say, not that Roberto owes me anything,
but there were three different people in a rotate. He
probably sometimes wishes I didn't train him so well and
he didn't get the job, But there were three guys
(24:51):
that were like in the rotation. And I remember the bosses,
the two bosses that we have coming to me both
asking who do you think out of the three could
hack it with Ben every night. Roberto's personality and the
way he was willing to kind of keep our traditions
going that sold me on the fact that he would
(25:11):
do a great job. Yeah, I know, it's it's uh,
it's it's worked out well. And it's been been a
while now and so everyone's kind of locked in roll
with a bunch of When I started the show, I
had Jake was my board up Stay Awake with Jake
and Bob Garrot was my producer I had. He had,
He's been there all the way through. Yeah, this this
(25:32):
incarnation of the show. Yeah, And Bobo trained me on
the equipment when I started with you Bobo on the radio,
which I mean, there wasn't much training needed. It was
the same equipment I had just come from at NBC.
But as far as the ins and outs of your show,
Bobo was the one who sat with me and kind
of explained your show tuning as far as the things
(25:55):
I needed to do and drops and all that, and
then I took it and ran from there to this day.
Whenever being Boba are talking, He's like, so, Julie, equipment here,
I'm the O g I'm a veteran, and I'm like,
all right, Bobo, you the O g uh Man. All right,
let's keep it going on the mail bag and who
(26:16):
is next? Any meany Miney mo Amish writes it says,
have you have either of you been to the Tilted
Kilt in Orange, California and your Anaheim Stadium, Angel Stadium whatever? Says,
I plan on intending an Angel game in mid August,
and I wanted to know if that's a good pregame spot.
Have you first off them? Angels. That's sorry. They're not
(26:39):
friendly with us. They did not like us. They are
very rude. They had to lose all those games. Yeah,
they're they're so great with media relations unless they're not. Yeah, exactly.
Uh So I have not been. I know that Tilted Kilt.
There's a few locations like in like Vegas, right, there's
a it's a it's all. They're all all over the country.
(27:00):
I think, I don't. I don't believe I've been to
the one in in Orders. There's some some good place
back in the older. I have not been to Anaheim
very regularly in a long time. Back in my day,
I spent many a night. There was a place called
the National Sports Grill, which no longer is in business.
And then the catch, which I think is that still
(27:21):
around the catch I'm not sure. I know that. I
went to a Tilted Kilt in Santa Clarita when it
opened there. And if you're not familiar, it's like Hooters,
but better food. Okay, Yeah, Tilted Kilt has women that
are dressed kind of uh eyes to please the eyes. Yeah,
(27:42):
I like to enhance the food and drink. Yeah. Yeah,
So I can't help you on that, Amish but I
I do. It looks like it's still open to catch.
Oh no, it's permanently close. I take that back. But
there you go. COVID. Yeah, COVID. Everybody knows you catch
the of COVID at the catch. Uh yeah, I went
(28:03):
on their website. Uh yeah, they're they're They're done. That's it.
That's too bad. But there there's I from what I understand,
there's a lot of restaurants around there now that weren't
there when I used to cover the Angels. I was
there all the time, and there wasn't a lot going
on in in Anah, And there was a pancake place.
A lot of the guys would go through, twenty four
hour place that had really huge pancakes that was not
(28:25):
far away from Anaheim Stadium. Next up, Pandemic Ben change
your name from catch to the Cure. That's a good
point from marketing standpoint. It's sign from that. I'll call
all right. Next up, Pierre in Springfield. Pierre and Springfield
rights in. He says, with this being a holiday weekend
(28:50):
and Sunday into Monday show being the actual holiday, do
you have access to the schedule in advance or do
you find out just before the show. I'm guessing that
corporate coupe and every holiday off, Eddie will not be in.
It's probably fifty fifty on whether or not Roberto shows up.
(29:11):
Can you give us the game day starters so we
know how much to drink just in case Ned Flanders
shows up? Well? Shots fired, Pierre. The way this works,
not to get too inside radio, but they do send
out a schedule. I don't often check it, so sometimes
(29:32):
I won't check it. But Thursday is normally a schedule day.
Is that when that goes out? Thursday? Yeah? Do you
want me to look up the schedule really quick? I
don't know. I might be depressed. Eddie told me he's
going to be in Sunday in the Monday. They gave
him the option, and so he's taking Monday into Tuesday off.
(29:53):
I don't care. I'm leaving goodbye. So he's gonna work
on the fourth and then take July. If because the
way we do this, doing the overnight show, you end
up having if you if you take a holiday, if
you still ended having to work on the holiday, cun
because we cross over the the Rubicon in the overnight,
(30:14):
so we start on the West coast. The show starts
at eleven pm and goes to three am. And so
let's say I took July four off, I would be
off on Sunday in the Monday, but then I'd have
to still work on the fourth of July that night.
So what's I always like, what's the point of that? Now?
I am going to have to take a Sunday off
(30:34):
at some point because I have some relatives coming in
from back East and I I haven't seen these people
in years, like some of that I haven't seen a kid.
So I'm gonna take My cousins are having like a
big family thing, so I'm gonna take some time off,
like one day to hang out with them, which I
think is okay. So I don't know whether I'll use
my comp day from June tenth or July four, but
(30:57):
one of those will be used one of those movies.
So yeah, the schedule, we we have access to it,
but I usually don't work. I usually don't look and
I like to be surprised. July four is one of
my favorite holidays. I love the smell of the suntan
lotion and the fireworks exploding and the fact that you
(31:19):
could see multiple fireworks shows going at the same time
based on where you're at on the coast in California.
I've always liked it since I was a little kid.
I thought it was the coolest holiday. Yeah, I'm a
fan of the Fourth of July too, And I remember
when I was a fund memories of my mom taking
us because I grew up in Orange County, and she
(31:40):
take us to Disneyland, but we wouldn't actually go to
disney and we park outside Disneyland. We're just see the
free fireworks show. And she knew. My mom knew, and
this is the days before maps or before GPS and
all that stuff, so she had to like scout it
out and she knew exactly where to go. Parked the car,
(32:00):
we have the perfect view of the fireworks and that's
how we would roll. And even to this day at Disneyland,
when you drive, if you drive up and down the
Interstate five around nine thirty, there's a fireworks show every
night at Disneyland, and they shoot the fireworks off in
(32:21):
the back part of Disneyland, which is right up against
the highway, So if you're driving at that time, you
get a pyrotechnic show right right next to the highways.
Why traffic slows down? Everyone's hitting their lights when you
when you do. I've driven by there a few times.
It's pretty wild. Love it. Yeah, it was the one
(32:42):
time a year my mom let us climb up and
sit on the roof. So that's another good memory. But yeah, yeah,
you would make I remember she'd make popcorn and we
would literally take bowls of popcorn up to the roof
and a local college shot off fireworks and we'd watch
those while we eat the popcorn. That's awesome, That's that's cool,
(33:03):
fun fun memories. I also my my dad was terrible
at barbecuing. My mom was the cook, so we'd always
like burgers and hot dogs and all that and usually
was just my mom making them. My dad had no
clue how to handle any of that stuff, but that
that was how we my dad. If you leave him
on the barbecue everything, I like burned food, but I
don't like stuff that burn, you know what I'm saying.
(33:25):
Like he would go over the over the edge because
he just he'd said he'd leave it there and just
walk away or not pay attention and all that stuff.
He made hockey punks pretty much pretty much. He he
did Anyway, moving on, Pierre, thank you for that. Next
up we say hello too. Let's see here Randy and Pittsburgh.
(33:47):
P A writes in why do you allow your staff
to hey on Pete and Pittsburgh. Oh yeah, Pete called
up this week, Danny, I heard, Yeah, Pete called up.
Randy says, let the audience decide what a good call is,
and then he takes a shot at the staff. He says,
California liberals are not the judge of entertainment. Trust me,
(34:10):
you think I actually thought it was funny man. The
banter between you and Pete. I got a kick out of.
He is a show legend, and of course he was
a mini legend on the Stern Show before your show. Yes, yes,
I I it was wonderful. I like when Pete checks
and he checks in every year or six months piece,
one of the great callers and talk radio. I'm a
(34:32):
fan of what Pete does. Pete only calls us up
though these days when he's completely slashed, when he's been
out drinking at the bar, and he's up because he's
I don't know what he's got going on in his
life these days, but it ain't our show. And he
doesn't call radio shows. I think he's also become very
political as he's gotten older. Now Pete was calling the
show in his early twenties and now Pezze in his forties.
(34:54):
So you know, you know, we're all in a different
place when our twenties to our thirties, to our forties
to our fifties, and he was in a different spot
in But Jonas, actually the great Jonas Knox I was.
I saw him on my way out the other day
and he sent me a link some Stern fans had
put on on YouTube and it was a classic Stern
(35:14):
call from back in the day. Pittsburgh Pete. That's what
he's known on on Stern Show. That's what he was
knowing on Pittsburgh. Not Pete on our show. It's Pete
and Pittsburgh on the Stern Show was Pittsburgh Pete. And
he and already Lane got into it. He was busting
already Langs balls and Already just exploded at Pittsburgh Pete.
It's on YouTube. It was hilarious, and Already just said
(35:37):
all these amazing offensive things about uh, the Puerto Rican
parade and what should happen to Pete and Pittsburgh and
it was unbelievab It was hilarious, so funny. See, you
have to appreciate when you hear a legend's voice on
the radio. I didn't really care about him repeating himself
or whatever the complaints might be. Just to hear his
(35:59):
voice was kind of cool. I thought, yeah, And I
do get this a lot. And Randy, you're not alone
like the guys my taste and caller and what the
the guys like Roberto and Coop get very upset at
certain people the call. Sure, those guys the callus, I
think are hilarious and they're like, oh, this guy is terrible.
I don't like this guy. You know, let's get rid
of it. I mean, no, no, no, no, that's a
(36:19):
good call I enjoy it. What are you doing to me?
And then hey, there's a caller for everybody. Uh. In fact,
when I was getting ahold of your boy, Chestnut, his
PR department said, I know, Mallory, that's the guy with
all those crazy callers. That's right. See, we're known for
the crazy caller. That's how that works. That's how he
(36:39):
described you. He's like, I've listened to that show plenty
of times exactly. That's what I'm saying, that's the that's
the secret sauce dandy, right, that's the key, and there's
a crazy caller for every different taste. Yeah, you can't
chase the way these guys, Like, these guys were busting
that the trash guy, the one eyed trash guy from
(37:00):
Hawaii who's supposed to do a daredevil stunt on the show,
and he hadn't called. Uh, you know, I had heard
her from him as we're doing this podcast. I haven't
heard from a while, so and like these guys are
trying to chase him away and I'm like, no, no,
no, no no, Roberto. He did not like that guy. Joe
and Rhode Island. I thought Joe was hilarious. Joe and
(37:20):
the guy that went on and just uh would would
scream at me Joe and run the traditional New England
sports radio caller. The guy's a bumb that guy. We're
trying to chase him a way, and I did chase
him way. He changed jobs. But anyway, all right, Time
for a couple more Rachel, she says, is moving Man
Matt single. So she she liked hearing Moving Man Matt
(37:42):
in studio, but unfortunately Rachel Moving Man Matt is not single,
and it's amazing that Matt has been able to keep
that marriage going. Danny, he's on the road like three
hundred days a year. He's never home. Yeah, he's always working,
so he you know, he's a long haul East coast,
(38:03):
west coast, south northwest. He goes everywhere. He's like a musician,
traveling concert to concert. He and Louis. Sorry, Richard, but
if you would like to date a member of the
Mallem militia, Rachel, we can play the dating game on
the show. We can have no, no no, no, Rachel. Listen.
(38:25):
We have some very attractive bachelors on the show. Would
you like to get your hands on Flexus? That's a
that's a catch. Also, who else do we have? We
have a blind Scott another catch? Flexus has an amazing personality.
That is true. We have Hallereen, James Holler and James
would be a big fan Holler and James would follow
(38:46):
you around Rachel like a puppy dog. Okay, he doesn't
snore at all. You want to have a party Jed
who fled? Big party with Jed? A bunch of hookers
and cocaine. Interesting cat there you can go down on
the list. There's so many to choose from here. But
(39:08):
let me know, Rachel, if you want, if you're an
eligible bachelorette, we can play the dating game. I used
to do that every Valentine's Day. We would do some
kind of bit with that, but we haven't haven't done
that in a while. That's how Man Hippy met his
wife I Love You on on the on the show,
on the show, Yeah there you go. Fred from Spring
(39:30):
Texas writes in we'll do this, We'll get out on
this one. He says, do either of you have lucky numbers?
How did you get them? And how do you use
I don't like lucky lucky. I when I played football,
I was number seventy nine, So I was like, I
guess a lucky number. It's a fat guy number. Yeah,
(39:50):
good fat lineman number. Good, fat lineman. I have any
There's certain numbers I gravitate too, but I don't know
that they're my lucky numbers. So I would I would,
So I would say, no, Fred, what what about you did?
I do? I have to? And they are both football related.
The Great number thirty two you know Marcus Allen, Right, Yeah,
(40:13):
the Great number thirty four that Bo Jackson. Yeah, so
everything as a kid was thirty two, thirty four, thirty four,
the greatest running back combo to ever assemble in the backfield. Well,
the greatest video game character of all time. My opinion,
(40:33):
forget Michael Vick, I'm I'm old school, I go Bo Jackson. Yeah.
Too bad. That Marcus Allen banged one of Al Davis's chicks.
Allegedly that the alleged beef between Al Davis and Marcus
Allen was that Al Davis asked Marcus nicely to stay
away from his mistress, okay because he was married. Al was,
(40:57):
and Marcus smiled and said, yeah, right out, and he
banged her. And where do white women at? And al
Davis was like, I asked this guy to do one
thing and he couldn't even keep his snake in its cage.
The lore, the legend is that that's what caused the
beef between those two guys. Marcus Allen just had to
bang every white chicken saw well, And for those who
(41:21):
don't know the store if you're too young, like Marcus
Allen was a great player for the Raiders and was
in purgatory with the race like they pretty much benched
him they downsized his role in the team. He wasn't hurt. No. Yeah,
he sat on the bench a lot in favor of
(41:41):
Bo Jackson was the team, but every time Marcus came
in he tore it up. And prior to that little beef,
he had been one of the best running backs on
the field in the entire league. And he would do
that amazing move over the top where anytime the team
got down near the goal line, they would give him
the ball and he would fly in there like Superman
(42:02):
into the end zone. He was amazing as a tiny
little kid watching that. I was in kindergarten with a
l a Raiders jersey and we would watch Marcus Allen
go over the top and that started my love for football.
And the rest of your life is women. Yeah. Well,
(42:23):
there is a phrase there that Marcus Allen probably should
have followed me. It's something like you don't where you
eat or something like that. Right. Uh, don't sleep with
the boss's mistress. Uh. If the team's owner asked you
for one favor, you might want to oblige. Has there
ever been an NFL owner that doesn't have a mistress?
(42:45):
Does that exist? Is that? I don't think so? Probably not.
Probably not so in these days though, in the age
of Twitter. If that's if that is true, what happened
with the Raiders if that was today? Oh can you
imagine what a scandal t MC dot com baby, the
stories on the woman would the mistress would sue to
(43:09):
be a lawsuit against Al Davis, the Marcus Allen and
all this. Oh my god. Anyway, all right, we'll get
out of here. Enjoy the fourth of July. I will
be in. We will have live shows tonight and the
entire week, and I got nothing else going on, so
I'll be in hanging out doing radio and love for
(43:30):
you to call in if you haven't called in you
want to talk on the show, or you want to
just listen and send us goofy things on Twitter and
all that. But we will have live original shows all
week long. And I know, Danny, you're busting it as well. Yeah,
I'll be there this afternoon and evening for the Covino
and Rich show, and then Chris Plank and Arnie Spaniard
(43:52):
right before your first show of the week. Out standing.
All right, let'sen have a great rest of your day today.
And if you missed any of these podcasts over the weekend.
I cannot thank Joey Chestnut enough for coming on. It
was awesome to talk to Joey. One of the highlights
of this podcast, and thanks to Danny for getting him
(44:13):
on there. So if you missed that, this is a
great time to listen today or tomorrow morning, because tomorrow
is today. On Monday is the Nathan's Annual Hot Dog
Eating Contest. It is the day where Joey Chestnut is
the most famous athlete in American sport. His day to
dominate the headlines. He will be on Sports Center, He'll
be on all the shows. Everyone will be talking about
(44:34):
Joey Chestnut, good, bad or ugly because he is the
straw that stirs the drink in Major league eating. So
we look forward to seeing and and you know, is
this gonna be the end? Is this the last one?
Joey Chestnut is thirty nine years old, so is he
gonna keep going into his forties? How long can the
body hold up? We'll find out. And Ben, it didn't
(44:58):
surprise me too that the people at Nathan's were big
Ben Mallor fans. One of your most famous drops over
the years, I like the extended winner. Well that was
said in a joking manner, out of context, by the way,
that is the way it is played. But anyway, all right,
enough of that, have a great day. We'll catch you
next time. Happy fourth of July. Yes, happy birthday America.
(45:24):
God best America. Later, skater gotta murder, Gotta go.
