- 2:29Speaker 3: long time Saint Petersburg, Florida. He says, all right, so
- 2:35Speaker 3: I guess he's been in Thomasville, Georgia and Saint Petersburg, Florida.
- 2:38Speaker 3: He says, I enjoy all the shows. I have a
- 2:41Speaker 3: suggestion for the Fifth Hour guest. All right, Danny, I'm
- 2:44Speaker 3: gonna give you three guesses. Who do you think Paul
- 2:47Speaker 3: g from Thomasville, Georgia and also Saint Petersburg, Florida, wants
- 2:52Speaker 3: to have us book for a future episode of the
- 2:56Speaker 3: Fifth Hour.
- 2:57Speaker 4: All Right, I'm gonna say, Michael Jordan, Okay, solid be good,
- 3:02Speaker 4: get right, Billy Martin.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Billy Martin, if we can get him, that would be
- 3:07Speaker 3: amazing that we could bring him back to the other side.
- 3:09Speaker 1: Tommy Lasorda, Lasorda love Tommy.
- 3:12Speaker 4: And the Big It's a whale when you're really chasing
- 3:16Speaker 4: this guest.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Yeah, Kobe Bryant, Oh well, Kobe, let me tell you something.
- 3:21Speaker 3: We could have a round table with Kobelsorta and Billy Martin.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Holy crap, you have.
- 3:26Speaker 4: Got to be Keddy me hosted by Michael Jordan because
- 3:31Speaker 4: he needs the reps for when he joins NBC.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. And then like Larry King, because he's
- 3:37Speaker 1: dead too, so he can come in there.
- 3:39Speaker 3: We can bring back Howard Cosell speaking of sport. Well, Paul,
- 3:43Speaker 3: I think this.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Is a reasonable request.
- 3:44Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna have you book this, Danny, because
- 3:47Speaker 3: you know how to book these things. He says, Pope
- 3:50Speaker 3: Leo the fourteenth, he'd like to hear on the podcast.
- 3:52Speaker 1: So can you contact the Vatican?
- 3:55Speaker 3: Andy, you got President Trump to come on Fox Sports Radio,
- 3:58Speaker 3: Why can't you get the Pope? Tell will bring White
- 4:01Speaker 3: Sox fans.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Or whatever whatever. See if the Pope will call, the
- 4:05Speaker 1: Pontiff will come on the show.
- 4:07Speaker 4: That would be the booking trifecta, Trump, the Pope, and
- 4:12Speaker 4: then who's left after that?
- 4:13Speaker 2: Hi?
- 4:13Speaker 1: You Jesus?
- 4:16Speaker 3: Yeah, well if you can get Jesus now, that would
- 4:18Speaker 3: definitely be the record.
- 4:19Speaker 4: So yeah, this guy, I would definitely put that on
- 4:21Speaker 4: my LinkedIn.
- 4:23Speaker 3: He promote that, he says. Pope Leo the fourteenth. Now,
- 4:26Speaker 3: he says, before you interview he guys all planned out, Danny.
- 4:28Speaker 3: Paul says, before you interview him, announce archangel and arch angel,
- 4:33Speaker 3: two of whom are Michael and Gabriel. I had a
- 4:36Speaker 3: Catholic grade grade school, in high school education.
- 4:41Speaker 1: That's from pauls just keep up the good work.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Well, I have said, and I do not believe I'm
- 4:46Speaker 3: wrong on this, Danny, that there is roughly a ninety
- 4:52Speaker 3: percent chance that Pope Leo has heard Fox Sports Radio
- 4:55Speaker 3: and has heard the Ben Maller Show, because he was
- 4:59Speaker 3: at the World Series on the White Sox one and
- 5:01Speaker 3: O five and in those years, Fox Sports Radio was
- 5:05Speaker 3: on the score in Chicago at at night.
- 5:09Speaker 1: We were on there late at night, and so it
- 5:11Speaker 1: is more.
- 5:12Speaker 3: Likely than not that in a big sports radio town
- 5:16Speaker 3: like Chicago, that's a town where it's part of the
- 5:18Speaker 3: culture of sport to listen to sports talk radio, that
- 5:22Speaker 3: Pope Leo, who was just you know, a normal dude
- 5:24Speaker 3: at that time, that he went to the White Sox game.
- 5:28Speaker 1: They played the then they were just the Astros.
- 5:31Speaker 3: They hadn't cheated at that point, the Astros White Sox
- 5:34Speaker 3: win the.
- 5:34Speaker 1: World Series, and what do you do on sports talk
- 5:37Speaker 1: radio at night?
- 5:38Speaker 3: And that's when Fox Sports Radio, the Ben Malor Show
- 5:40Speaker 3: was on, and you know, weekends.
- 5:42Speaker 4: Then I don't know if you should have just announced
- 5:46Speaker 4: that the Pope is a militia member, because William Shatner
- 5:50Speaker 4: just blocked them.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right.
- 5:53Speaker 3: Shattner's not going to allow that He's like, Nope, nope, nope,
- 5:56Speaker 3: and Shatner, would I become an atheist?
- 5:58Speaker 1: I'm in command, I could order this.
- 6:03Speaker 3: Maybe he is anyway. I don't know anyway, So thank you.
- 6:06Speaker 3: Paul Barry from South Carolina, and Barry met him at
- 6:10Speaker 3: the Great Mallard Meet and greet we did in Charleston
- 6:13Speaker 3: a while back, and he sends a letter in on
- 6:16Speaker 3: the mail bag. He says, I'm in South Carolina for now,
- 6:19Speaker 3: houses up for sale, but the market blows.
- 6:21Speaker 1: I just need to get this soul than I am
- 6:24Speaker 1: out of here, he says, Yo, yo, mob Benny. Is
- 6:27Speaker 1: it just me?
- 6:28Speaker 3: Or have Donut Kelly's calls gotten much worse since she
- 6:33Speaker 3: moved to Iowa. She used to be a good caller. Yeah,
- 6:38Speaker 3: I enjoyed Donut Kelly on the show. The quality of
- 6:41Speaker 3: her work has gone down tremendously. And Danny, you know
- 6:46Speaker 3: this from being a radio seasoned veteran. When you do
- 6:49Speaker 3: call and talk radio and the people call up and say, hey,
- 6:53Speaker 3: what do you want to talk about?
- 6:54Speaker 1: That's not normally how that goes.
- 6:56Speaker 3: I've had multiple people Donut Kelly's done that to me
- 6:58Speaker 3: a couple of times.
- 7:00Speaker 1: There was a.
- 7:00Speaker 3: Guy from Colorado that started calling the show that did
- 7:04Speaker 3: that also this week, Barry, It's like, no, like.
- 7:07Speaker 1: You call up.
- 7:08Speaker 3: If you have something to say, you say it. Try
- 7:11Speaker 3: to use brevity, be quick, get to the point and
- 7:15Speaker 3: get out.
- 7:16Speaker 1: That's it.
- 7:17Speaker 3: And yeah, so yeah, I don't know what's going on
- 7:20Speaker 3: with Kelly, but she's she's found someone in her life,
- 7:24Speaker 3: which is great. That's one of the new power couples.
- 7:27Speaker 3: Shane in the Moines and Kelly into Moyne and they
- 7:30Speaker 3: met because of the show.
- 7:32Speaker 1: But you're right, Barry, the calls have not been have
- 7:35Speaker 1: not been great. Well, I should do a.
- 7:38Speaker 3: Like a YouTube video series on how to be a
- 7:40Speaker 3: good sports talk radio caller or just what to avoid
- 7:43Speaker 3: to be a crappy.
- 7:44Speaker 4: Caller, especially if you don't have like add because Rich
- 7:49Speaker 4: Davis was playing hooky. He was at Dodgers Stadium to
- 7:52Speaker 4: watch his beloved Mets lose to our Dodgers. Normally he's
- 7:56Speaker 4: the gatekeeper. We take any call on Covino and Rich
- 7:59Speaker 4: and he's uhuh huh, speed it up, speed it up,
- 8:01Speaker 4: speed up. Or if any of us try to tell
- 8:03Speaker 4: even a short story, you could see this look in
- 8:06Speaker 4: his eyes. He wants you to tell no details, get
- 8:09Speaker 4: to the point and shut up so he can talk again.
- 8:12Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there's there's an etiquette.
- 8:15Speaker 3: There's there's an etiquette to this. And then but as
- 8:18Speaker 3: you know, Danny, at night, the etiquette.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Usually goes out the window. It just it just it
- 8:22Speaker 1: just made it.
- 8:23Speaker 3: Alf from Deep in the Jungle rights in on the
- 8:26Speaker 3: mail bag. He says, whatever happened to quicksand? When I
- 8:30Speaker 3: was a kid, it seemed that every movie, TV show
- 8:34Speaker 3: or cartoon had some sort of quicksand scene, And nowadays
- 8:39Speaker 3: you don't see it at all. That's great, that's a
- 8:42Speaker 3: great take by Alf. It is true, Daniel, we're around
- 8:46Speaker 3: the same age. It's like every cartoon, movie, sitcom character
- 8:52Speaker 3: got stuck in quicksand, and how were they gonna get
- 8:55Speaker 3: out of it? Were they gonna die? And so at
- 8:59Speaker 3: some point they moved on that. What is replaced quicksand?
- 9:02Speaker 3: Is there something? Because you need the character to be
- 9:05Speaker 3: stuck in in something, right, there's got to be a predicament.
- 9:10Speaker 3: But the quick the quicksand thing. It's a great take
- 9:13Speaker 3: by Alf. Because you don't you don't see it. And
- 9:16Speaker 3: I remember reading some I remember reading some fun facts
- 9:19Speaker 3: about quicksand, because why not?
- 9:21Speaker 1: And they pointed out that despite.
- 9:24Speaker 3: All of those movies and all those TV shows, that
- 9:28Speaker 3: you can't actually drown in quicksand right that because you'll
- 9:34Speaker 3: only it'll because of the way the human body is.
- 9:37Speaker 3: I remember reading this. I forget exactly what it is
- 9:39Speaker 3: because I don't have it. You in front of me
- 9:40Speaker 3: and all that stuff, but you won't actually sink all
- 9:44Speaker 3: the way where only your hand like you know on
- 9:47Speaker 3: the TV show, like your eye up, your eyeballs and
- 9:50Speaker 3: all that stuff. It's that's not actually not true at
- 9:54Speaker 3: least what I read on the internet. Maybe when I
- 9:55Speaker 3: read on the internet was wrong, but I remember reading that.
- 9:57Speaker 1: On the internet.
- 9:58Speaker 3: And so, yeah, like the Scooby Doo Gang, somebody would
- 10:02Speaker 3: get stuck.
- 10:02Speaker 1: In quicksand yeah.
- 10:04Speaker 3: The bad guy and then they pulled the mask off.
- 10:06Speaker 3: Oh it wasn't for you meddling kids, I would have
- 10:08Speaker 3: gotten away with it. Quang writes in from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam,
- 10:13Speaker 3: and he says this every week. I don't know if
- 10:14Speaker 3: he's actually in Vietnam, probably not, but he.
- 10:16Speaker 1: Likes to say that.
- 10:17Speaker 3: He says Big Ben and Danny's Radio butterflying is a
- 10:20Speaker 3: way to prepare meat, fish or poultry by cooking or
- 10:24Speaker 3: cutting it almost in two, but leaving the two parts connected.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Yes, I love my steak.
- 10:29Speaker 3: Butterfly cut me and Rob Parker team butterfly a couple of.
- 10:33Speaker 4: Butterfly butterflied and burned.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Well, that's the way to eat meat, properly wrong.
- 10:40Speaker 3: You don't want to eat some kind of weird vermin
- 10:43Speaker 3: or not vermin, but like yeah, worms or whatever.
- 10:45Speaker 4: Yeah, you cook the worms out of yours for sure, that's.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Right now, Quang says. Spatchcalking. That's what he says.
- 10:53Speaker 3: Excoo is a specific method of butterflying poultry that involves
- 11:00Speaker 3: removing the backbone.
- 11:02Speaker 1: So that's you ever heard of that? Never ohing on?
- 11:08Speaker 1: You know what? He's not making this up, It says.
- 11:10Speaker 3: Right here, there's a Martha Stewart on her website learn
- 11:14Speaker 3: how to make.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Spatch cock chicken.
- 11:18Speaker 3: She's got Martha's got a step by step guide on
- 11:21Speaker 3: how dispatchcock.
- 11:23Speaker 4: She definitely learned that dish while she was in prison.
- 11:27Speaker 4: She can do it with both hands anyway.
- 11:31Speaker 3: Anyway, he says, a big man, We know how much
- 11:34Speaker 3: you enjoyed the metal cock, but do you like spatch cocking?
- 11:39Speaker 4: That's a quay, Oh thank you for that. I haven't
- 11:41Speaker 4: got to use the metal cock drop in a long time.
- 11:44Speaker 3: I was attracted to the giant metal cock on behalf
- 11:47Speaker 3: of Dick and Dayton.
- 11:49Speaker 1: Quay says, well, remember years ago.
- 11:53Speaker 3: The game cocks and the famous hat go cocks from
- 11:59Speaker 3: South Carolina, which I think I had a listener give
- 12:03Speaker 3: me the gocock's hat. I believe my wife has actually
- 12:06Speaker 3: stolen that hat. I don't know where it is right now,
- 12:08Speaker 3: but yeah, I dispatch cock. You see that at like
- 12:12Speaker 3: high end restaurants, Danny, the big time restaurants love dispatchcock.
- 12:17Speaker 3: They do because it's whether you take the full chicken
- 12:19Speaker 3: you chop it, and it's it's massive. I've seen that
- 12:22Speaker 3: at high end restaurant. I didn't know what that was,
- 12:26Speaker 3: but now I know all because of Quaang.
- 12:29Speaker 1: So sure, if it's if you can, please don't ever
- 12:32Speaker 1: say that word again.
- 12:33Speaker 3: Well, I will not say I will not say spatch

- 13:48Speaker 3: as they continue to decide whether or not to bring
- 13:50Speaker 3: back season three of Benny Versus the Penny.
- 13:52Speaker 4: I heard about this. They loved my Hoarder versus the
- 13:56Speaker 4: Quarter idea A.
- 13:58Speaker 3: Great idea we're trying to come up with, like what
- 14:01Speaker 3: what does the hoarder look like? You know, it looks
- 14:03Speaker 3: like Tom Looney anyway, So I'm waiting. There are some
- 14:08Speaker 3: meetings that are going to take place, so fingers crossed,
- 14:10Speaker 3: you know, whatever kind of good mojo you got, because
- 14:15Speaker 3: a number of you have said, boy, we want you
- 14:17Speaker 3: to come back to Boston.
- 14:18Speaker 1: We want to do another meet and greet, and I
- 14:20Speaker 1: guess out in Wooster the wu Socks. That's one of
- 14:23Speaker 1: the events.
- 14:24Speaker 3: The Leprechaun and I didn't get a chance to meet
- 14:27Speaker 3: alf the alien ol Pliner last year when we did
- 14:30Speaker 3: a very brief get together outside Boba's Bakery on the
- 14:34Speaker 3: North End.
- 14:34Speaker 1: So because there was a lot of rain and whatnot.
- 14:36Speaker 3: So again nothing, nothing's guaranteed. They haven't made any decisions.
- 14:40Speaker 3: There are some meetings at the network over the next
- 14:43Speaker 3: probably ten to fifteen days, and.
- 14:47Speaker 1: We will know after that whether.
- 14:50Speaker 3: Or not they're going to bring back season number three
- 14:52Speaker 3: of the TV show. And we are optimistic, but we
- 14:56Speaker 3: are realistic because it's a lot of money and they
- 15:00Speaker 3: got to come up with the money.
- 15:01Speaker 1: And so there you go.
- 15:03Speaker 3: Reggie from Detroit writes and he says, hey, Ben have
- 15:06Speaker 3: Coop and Lorena apologized for not inviting you to that
- 15:10Speaker 3: dinner in Vancouver. I'm still shocked that they did this.
- 15:14Speaker 3: You're the host of the show they work on. Me
- 15:16Speaker 3: and my wife both are upset that they disrespected you
- 15:20Speaker 3: that way. Well, thank you, Reggie. No, they have not,
- 15:23Speaker 3: which I'm also shocked by it. I was very rarely
- 15:27Speaker 3: my blown away by anything. I'm pretty mellow for the
- 15:29Speaker 3: most part. I'll snap, Reggie, you've listened to the show.
- 15:32Speaker 3: Every once in a while, I'll genuinely get upset about
- 15:34Speaker 3: something like this. Is one of those times. I really
- 15:37Speaker 3: could not.
- 15:37Speaker 1: Believe that it happened. I still can't believe it.
- 15:40Speaker 3: But they you know, hey, listen, they did what they did,
- 15:44Speaker 3: and that's fine. And I was not raised that way.
- 15:47Speaker 3: So whatever it's. You know, I'll do the show. But
- 15:52Speaker 3: I think that that was a tough situation, Reggie.
- 15:55Speaker 1: Who the heck is justin Cooper.
- 15:57Speaker 3: Someone that doesn't invite you to a dinner on a
- 16:00Speaker 3: trip that he got going.
- 16:01Speaker 1: Yeah, I don'tant to get it anyway.
- 16:04Speaker 3: I'll just say that that is a fresh wound. And
- 16:07Speaker 3: I've been in radio thirty years. That's right near the top.
- 16:10Speaker 1: Of the biggest a hole moves I've ever seen in radio.
- 16:13Speaker 4: Frank and vanc met, Yeah without Ben, That's right exactly.
- 16:19Speaker 3: I hear these stories like, you know, Danny and Covino
- 16:22Speaker 3: and Rich go on the road. You guys all bond,
- 16:24Speaker 3: you know, go to dinners on my show. Let's not
- 16:27Speaker 3: advice the host of the show man, I can't believe that.
- 16:32Speaker 3: I still it just blows me. Anyway, Frank in Vancouver,
- 16:35Speaker 3: who I did meet Frank, very nice man. He says, Hey, Ben,
- 16:39Speaker 3: thanks for coming to Van City and thanks to Nico.
- 16:43Speaker 1: There you go. He was on yesterday. Frank, you did
- 16:46Speaker 1: not know that when you sent this letter, and he.
- 16:48Speaker 3: Says, he says, Frank says, great meeting you and the
- 16:51Speaker 3: crew all super friendly folks. Puts a new perspective when
- 16:56Speaker 3: listening to the show. It personalizes the listening experience. Sounds weird,
- 17:01Speaker 3: but I think you get the drift. Yes, email continues
- 17:05Speaker 3: from Frank on the mail bag. He says, and I

- 17:15Speaker 3: Everything was first class, even the Costco thing. As I
- 17:20Speaker 3: talked to Eddie about I'm still amazed that right across
- 17:22Speaker 3: the street, Danny, from the Canucks Arena and the stadium
- 17:27Speaker 3: where the CFL team plays, they have a Costco food.
- 17:30Speaker 1: Court and Nico.

- 17:34Speaker 3: go there and load up for tailgating with cheap Costco food.
- 17:39Speaker 1: It's amazing. That is awesome.
- 17:42Speaker 3: It is really just awesome. Anyway, says I forgot to mention.

- 18:03Speaker 3: Frank says, I related to my wife not to be
- 18:05Speaker 3: hard on you for being the last voice I hear

- 18:37Speaker 1: go back to Vancouver.
- 18:38Speaker 3: It was beautiful, just a majestic city, great skyline, great parks.
- 18:43Speaker 1: It was really cool.
- 18:44Speaker 4: And he basically said, you're like a melowtonin Gummy you
- 18:46Speaker 4: put people to sleep.
- 18:48Speaker 3: Well there's that, and also Danny, I've heard this a
- 18:51Speaker 3: lot from like, sometimes dudes will drag their wives, you know,
- 18:54Speaker 3: and some of the women are pretty cool and they
- 18:56Speaker 3: kind of get the show. A lot of them do
- 18:58Speaker 3: not get the show, and they're like, you know, I
- 19:00Speaker 3: don't understand why it's late at night and my husband
- 19:06Speaker 3: has to listen, and then all of a sudden you'll
- 19:08Speaker 3: start screaming about Lebron James.
- 19:16Speaker 1: Well, you know, guilty as charge.
- 19:18Speaker 3: What do you want to It's a talk show, and
- 19:21Speaker 3: sometimes things.
- 19:23Speaker 4: I think they think at that time, at those hours,
- 19:27Speaker 4: you should be doing like quiet storm radio.
- 19:30Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just not I'm not wired.
- 19:33Speaker 3: I like the juicy flavorful uh. Sports takes is what
- 19:36Speaker 3: I what I enjoy. I did also hear from several
- 19:42Speaker 3: fans of the show, several fans of the show who
- 19:47Speaker 3: were like, you know, I started listening to you and
- 19:50Speaker 3: I loved sports, but now I don't like sports as much,
- 19:54Speaker 3: but I still listen.
- 19:55Speaker 1: You know what I mean, Danny, It's like they don't
- 19:57Speaker 1: really care about my sports takes.
- 19:58Speaker 3: Should I be offended by that or should I be
- 20:00Speaker 3: flattered by that?
- 20:01Speaker 1: I'm not sure.
- 20:02Speaker 4: I think you should be flattered because that just means
- 20:04Speaker 4: you're doing great talk radio or you know, not just
- 20:07Speaker 4: sports talk.
- 20:09Speaker 1: It's just yeah, it's just background.
- 20:11Speaker 3: Conspiracy Carl writes in and we haven't heard from him.
- 20:15Speaker 3: I think he goes back to the gascon era of
- 20:17Speaker 3: the Fifth Hour. Pody, it's been a minute, because curiousy Carl.
- 20:22Speaker 3: He always loves when we have the vegan on because
- 20:24Speaker 3: the vegans all about that action boss. Anyway, Conspiracy Carl,
- 20:27Speaker 3: who lives in Palm Springs, he says, I'm back.
- 20:30Speaker 4: No, he must have finished watching the TMC YouTube show
- 20:33Speaker 4: about the Fifth Plane.
- 20:37Speaker 3: Yeah, he says he wanted to get our reaction to
- 20:40Speaker 3: the declassified CIA files that claim a government program found
- 20:48Speaker 3: alien life on the dark side of the Moon. Conspiracy
- 20:52Speaker 3: Carl says this happened more than twenty five years ago,
- 20:56Speaker 3: and that there's supposedly a secret complex of towers and
- 21:00Speaker 3: buildings on the Moon's surface where the aliens worked, and
- 21:05Speaker 3: he brought this up because we had mentioned this in
- 21:08Speaker 3: a previous episode. This goes back several weeks the remote
- 21:12Speaker 3: viewing that we talked about on this show, and conspiracy
- 21:16Speaker 3: Carl says, it's all it's all related, it's all right there,
- 21:21Speaker 3: and that these psychic spies found it, and it goes
- 21:25Speaker 3: back to like the nineties, and yeah, I'm all for it. Listen,
- 21:29Speaker 3: you know, Carl, Conspiracy Carl. I believe that there are
- 21:33Speaker 3: other species that live at the bottom of the ocean,
- 21:36Speaker 3: the bottom of the sea. Not mermaids or merman uh,
- 21:40Speaker 3: but actual different species that we don't even know about.
- 21:43Speaker 1: Well some of us know about it, So I buy it.
- 21:46Speaker 1: Anything's possible.
- 21:47Speaker 4: Yeah, I believe the kid, that kid in Vegas that
- 21:51Speaker 4: saw the nine ten foot aliens with big eyes.
- 21:54Speaker 1: Big guys that're looking at us. Yeah.
- 21:56Speaker 3: Well, when I go to Vegas, Danny, and you too,
- 21:59Speaker 3: if you try, I know, you fly, I guess. But
- 22:00Speaker 3: when I drive, I stop in Baker at alien beef Jerky,
- 22:05Speaker 3: and I see them right there. They have their own
- 22:08Speaker 3: little hotel which is disguised as a hotel, but it's
- 22:11Speaker 3: actually a space shit.
- 22:12Speaker 1: It's not a space ship, but it's a station. First station.
- 22:16Speaker 4: You wouldn't say the space shit in that area because
- 22:18Speaker 4: isn't there also a hotel right there that's boarded up?
- 22:21Speaker 1: Well, no, there was, but they built behind alien beef Jerky.
- 22:25Speaker 4: Oh okay, all right, so they bulldozed that condemned old
- 22:29Speaker 4: hotel that used to be there.
- 22:30Speaker 1: Then, Yeah, well I don't know if they did or not.
- 22:33Speaker 3: Bun Boy still there? Is that what it's called pun Boy?
- 22:36Speaker 3: Remember thes that closed years ago? I think that was
- 22:38Speaker 3: called bunboyn't.
- 22:39Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not sure, but it's like, it looks very
- 22:42Speaker 4: like fifties and nineteen sixties where it must have been
- 22:45Speaker 4: booming right there, and then it got old and then
- 22:48Speaker 4: they never updated it and then it just got condemned.
- 22:52Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 22:52Speaker 3: And if you're not in California and you have no
- 22:54Speaker 3: idea what we're talking about, it's one of the stops
- 22:56Speaker 3: on the way to Vegas.
- 22:57Speaker 1: Between LA and Vegas, you go through.
- 22:59Speaker 3: Ville, Apple Valley, Barstow, Baker prim and then finally you
- 23:06Speaker 3: get into Nevada, and yeah, Prims, Nevada, and then you
- 23:08Speaker 3: get to Vegas, which is about an hour outside of
- 23:11Speaker 3: the state line.
- 23:13Speaker 1: And all these little towns on the.
- 23:15Speaker 3: Way to Vegas, and what about they have a date
- 23:18Speaker 3: I've never had a date shake. Have you ever had
- 23:20Speaker 3: a date shake? Never, there's a date shake place on
- 23:24Speaker 3: the way to Vegas.
- 23:26Speaker 1: I've never doesn't sound no, it does not sound good.
- 23:30Speaker 4: It sounds like you'd need another stop a half hour
- 23:33Speaker 4: later for the bathroom.
- 23:36Speaker 1: Yeah, the truck stops must do very well out there.
- 23:39Speaker 1: Mary Anne writes in from Murphysboro, Tennessee.
- 23:42Speaker 3: She says, hey, band and Danny g I enjoy your
- 23:44Speaker 3: podcast as well as your nightly show.
- 23:46Speaker 1: Ben.
- 23:46Speaker 3: Although I am fairly certain you don't follow college softball,
- 23:51Speaker 3: I think these young women deserve a shoutout.
- 23:54Speaker 1: You often talk.
- 23:55Speaker 3: About the major league players, their need for time off
- 23:59Speaker 3: between games, complaints about travel, and the diva like behavior.
- 24:03Speaker 3: Pussy Willows. I love that, Mary Anne put he She
- 24:06Speaker 3: wrote here, Pussy Willows.
- 24:07Speaker 5: Remember one that was a Clay Travis That was Yes,
- 24:11Speaker 5: that was most definitely a Clay travisism he used, He
- 24:15Speaker 5: used pussy Willow and Dick Cheney.
- 24:18Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, wasn't the the pussy Willow. Thing is I
- 24:21Speaker 1: remember what.
- 24:22Speaker 4: You're crying, you pussy Willow.
- 24:24Speaker 1: Well, didn't he originally just say pussy?
- 24:26Speaker 4: And then yeah he did, he got he got uh,
- 24:30Speaker 4: he got it speaking to on that and then also
- 24:33Speaker 4: he said dick and uh I told him, Clay, you
- 24:37Speaker 4: can't just say dick like that. So he's like, oh,
- 24:39Speaker 4: fun I'll say Dick Cheney then and that's how that start.
- 24:42Speaker 1: That's funny.
- 24:43Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember the memo got sent out, like you
- 24:46Speaker 3: can't say pussy, but for some reason the flower pussy Willow,
- 24:52Speaker 3: you're allowed say.
- 24:54Speaker 1: I'm sure that'll solve it.
- 24:56Speaker 2: Uh.
- 24:57Speaker 3: Anyway, Marianne writes contigures right, and she says these softball
- 25:00Speaker 3: players are just the opposite of those overpaid diva players.
- 25:05Speaker 3: They are enthusiastic, love playing the game, all while attending college.
- 25:08Speaker 3: The pitchers are incredible, often throwing over one hundred pitches
- 25:12Speaker 3: and pitch again the very next day, just like the
- 25:15Speaker 3: big leaguers.
- 25:16Speaker 1: Right.
- 25:17Speaker 3: Anyway, their season is over now, but felt these young
- 25:20Speaker 3: women deserve a shout out and for you to put
- 25:22Speaker 3: them on the radar. Well, Marianne, as you know, we
- 25:25Speaker 3: don't do shout outs. You'd have to contact cameo. On
- 25:28Speaker 3: the cameo, I might do a shout out anyway, she says,
- 25:31Speaker 3: I'm eighty three years old. I'm a mother, grandmother, and
- 25:34Speaker 3: great grandmother. God bless you. Who is a fan of
- 25:37Speaker 3: sports all together? At that point, you've checked like every
- 25:40Speaker 3: box right when your mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and then
- 25:46Speaker 3: after that's great great grandmother.
- 25:48Speaker 1: Like that's the next one down the line.
- 25:50Speaker 3: She says, I was never very athletic, hence I am
- 25:52Speaker 3: a fan of your show and your rants.
- 25:55Speaker 1: Is that a shot shot to me?
- 25:59Speaker 4: That feels like he has seen the footage of your
- 26:01Speaker 4: first pitch you threw out in Bakersfield.
- 26:04Speaker 1: Marianne, that is a backhanded shot. How dare you?
- 26:08Speaker 3: It's one thing when I'm taking shots from mister nice
- 26:13Speaker 3: guy or some of these other jabbronis that call the show?
- 26:16Speaker 3: But Mary, sweet little grandma from Murphysboro, Tennessee.
- 26:20Speaker 4: Nobody throws a lollipop like mister Maller. He could be
- 26:23Speaker 4: the third Necro brother, remember that, Jeez.
- 26:29Speaker 3: Racist, I used to like your show, and then I
- 26:33Speaker 3: can't believe you would say that on the air. Oh
- 26:36Speaker 3: my god, I'm so offended, you said Crow on the air.
- 26:42Speaker 1: Oh my God, that was Eden Spokane.
- 26:45Speaker 3: I think that got me to say that that schmuck. Anyway,
- 26:49Speaker 3: that line what a famous line by Marianne. She says,
- 26:52Speaker 3: I was never very athletic, hence I'm a fan of
- 26:55Speaker 3: your show.
- 26:57Speaker 1: All right, what's next?
- 26:59Speaker 3: Stevens oh Cayl writes in says, hey, Ben and Danny
- 27:03Speaker 3: enjoyed the pod quick yay or Nate?
- 27:05Speaker 1: Question?
- 27:07Speaker 3: And then Steve says A restaurant and Florida sued a
- 27:11Speaker 3: diner recently who left abusive and disrespectful reviews on yelp.
- 27:18Speaker 1: Yay or nay?
- 27:20Speaker 3: Uh?
- 27:22Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 27:22Speaker 3: I don't know much about it. I don't if you
- 27:23Speaker 3: saw this, Danny. I'm just reading the headline here. I
- 27:25Speaker 3: don't know much about it. If there's more to it,
- 27:28Speaker 3: but based on just the headline, I'm gonna go, Nay,
- 27:30Speaker 3: what are you doing?
- 27:32Speaker 1: You know?
- 27:33Speaker 3: You know you're bringing more attention to it unless there's
- 27:36Speaker 3: more to the story than I know, which is probably
- 27:39Speaker 3: absolutely the case, like you're bringing more oxygen?
- 27:43Speaker 1: What exactly happened? All right?
- 27:45Speaker 3: So Dateline Florida or Tampa, Florida restaurant sues diner who
- 27:53Speaker 3: left a negative review on Yelp. They apparently didn't like
- 27:55Speaker 3: it when she called their meat quality subpar and air
- 28:00Speaker 3: ribs dry.
- 28:03Speaker 1: Really the restaurant, I don't think the name of it.
- 28:06Speaker 3: They specialize in innovative, inspired, seasonal new Asian food. They
- 28:11Speaker 3: follow a lawsuit against the woman after she left a
- 28:15Speaker 3: one star review following her visit.
- 28:17Speaker 1: This goes back to December of.
- 28:19Speaker 3: Twenty twenty three, and the woman went in there with
- 28:23Speaker 3: some friends. They had tiger shrimp, lamb chops, spare ribs, eggplant,
- 28:28Speaker 3: and mushroom chocolate cake during the visit.
- 28:31Speaker 4: And this is like the one star reviews you and
- 28:34Speaker 4: Gascon used to get when you had politicians on the show.
- 28:37Speaker 3: Except pretty much every week, it says, who is a blogger?
- 28:41Speaker 1: I guess this woman? Okay, so now, so this woman
- 28:44Speaker 1: is like a food blogger. Oh okay, now it makes sense.
- 28:47Speaker 1: He's got a little she's got a following. She's got a.
- 28:50Speaker 3: Following on Yelp and Google and trip Advisor and all
- 28:53Speaker 3: that stuff.
- 28:54Speaker 1: She wrote a seven hundred and ninety five word review.
- 28:58Speaker 1: She's got a little too much free. I'm on her hands.
- 29:01Speaker 3: Oh my god, seven hundred and ninety five words for
- 29:05Speaker 3: a for a Asian restaurant. In Tampa, a New Asian innovative.
- 29:11Speaker 3: Oh my god, all right, now, I kind of now

- 29:15Speaker 1: Support the restaurant. See the details matter. Uh see, there
- 29:21Speaker 1: you go. All right, thank you, Steve. I appreciate you.
- 29:24Speaker 4: Unless they wronged her in some way or stole some
- 29:26Speaker 4: money from her or something like that. Come on, chick,
- 29:29Speaker 4: get a life.
- 29:30Speaker 1: Yeah that's a little much, you know, couple lines.
- 29:33Speaker 3: No one's reading all that anyway, right, who's reading a
- 29:36Speaker 3: seven hundred and ninety five.
- 29:37Speaker 4: Word I mean, you would hope not. I remember my
- 29:39Speaker 4: cousin up in the Bay Area. He dated a girl
- 29:42Speaker 4: and she would write these really really long reviews no
- 29:45Speaker 4: matter where they ate at.
- 29:47Speaker 1: And I told him, I'm like, how can you live
- 29:49Speaker 1: with her?
- 29:50Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure she writes you a weekly review on
- 29:53Speaker 4: how you've treated her.
- 29:54Speaker 1: Yeah, that's imagine her diary with that. Lord, Oh my god,
- 30:00Speaker 1: what a nightmare. Yeah.
- 30:02Speaker 4: Well, he's like, you're right, I got a one star
- 30:05Speaker 4: last week.
- 30:07Speaker 3: It's like that that meme and I'm not reading all that,
- 30:11Speaker 3: you know, sorry it happened, or yeah, like try.
- 30:14Speaker 4: To get to even if you're gonna be a reviewer
- 30:16Speaker 4: or a wanna be food reviewer, all right, but tell
- 30:19Speaker 4: us in two paragraphs, how about that?
- 30:22Speaker 3: Yeah, it's food was good, you should eat this, or
- 30:25Speaker 3: food was bad?
- 30:26Speaker 1: Yeah, pros and cons. That's it.
- 30:28Speaker 4: One paragraph for pros, one paragraph for cons.
- 30:32Speaker 3: Yeah, and and just a couple of lines and then
- 30:34Speaker 3: that's accepted and we're good and we move on. And
- 30:39Speaker 3: that's how that works, all right. A couple more quick ones.
- 30:42Speaker 3: Kevin in Boston or the Boston area, He says, Since
- 30:47Speaker 3: I saw the video this week from southern California, I
- 30:49Speaker 3: thought of YouTube, gents, and he's talking about that mountain
- 30:53Speaker 3: lion video from I think that's near Santa Barbara.
- 30:56Speaker 1: Have you seen that, Danny the viral? Yeah, that's awesome.
- 30:59Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he says, have you guys ever run into
- 31:01Speaker 3: a mountain lion? No, I would probably be eaten. That
- 31:05Speaker 3: mountain lion was pern like you know what, dude, That
- 31:07Speaker 3: mountain lion was ready to enjoy a nice meal.
- 31:10Speaker 4: Where we live in the hills on the border of
- 31:12Speaker 4: La and Ventura County, we saw a baby mountain lion
- 31:16Speaker 4: on our trail back behind where we live, and I
- 31:19Speaker 4: told Brenda, you better start walking fast because there's a
- 31:22Speaker 4: mama somewhere near this baby.
- 31:24Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not gonna be able to outrun a mountain lion.
- 31:27Speaker 3: Those things are you talk about being ripped stacked? Holy crap, man,
- 31:32Speaker 3: it's crazy to think about all the stuff that's in
- 31:34Speaker 3: the hills around where we live, all the critters and.
- 31:37Speaker 4: Yeah, and now with that wildlife crossing where I live,
- 31:40Speaker 4: there's going to be at least three more.
- 31:45Speaker 3: Well, the good news is you don't have to worry
- 31:46Speaker 3: about being damaged by the animals because they'll just cross
- 31:50Speaker 3: the street right then, they'll just or the bridge there
- 31:53Speaker 3: over the freeway, and so they won't bother human beings
- 31:55Speaker 3: because they totally know that's for them.
- 31:57Speaker 1: The bridge is for them.
- 31:58Speaker 3: And it'd be nice they have the little lake on there,
- 32:01Speaker 3: don't they have, like the lake and all that on top.
