- 0:05Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
- 0:09Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
- 0:12Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

- 0:23Speaker 2: with Ben Maller starts right now in.
- 0:29Speaker 1: The air everywhere, The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben Maller
- 0:34Speaker 1: and Danny g Radio. As we settle in here to
- 0:39Speaker 1: a glorious, wonderful kind of a Sunday. It's a mailbag
- 0:43Speaker 1: kind of a Sunday, and it's an ice cream You scream,
- 0:47Speaker 1: We all scream for ice cream. It's National ice Cream
- 0:52Speaker 1: Day today, Danny, so make sure to eat ice cream
- 0:55Speaker 1: at some point today.
- 0:57Speaker 3: Got to celebrate. Oh yeah, oh yeah. That's one scoop
- 1:01Speaker 3: of Rocky Road for me.
- 1:02Speaker 1: That's it. One scoop. Come on, man, you gotta live
- 1:04Speaker 1: up a little bit now. Ice cream. We can thank
- 1:07Speaker 1: the Persians who invented kind of an ice cream. It
- 1:12Speaker 1: was a recipe for the Royal family in four hundred BC.
- 1:18Speaker 1: They made it from saffron, ice, rose water, and some
- 1:23Speaker 1: fruit and they mixed all that together and that was
- 1:25Speaker 1: kind of an ice cream. And then over the years,
- 1:28Speaker 1: obviously it has evolved in now we have ice cream everywhere,
- 1:35Speaker 1: anything is possible, and any kind of ice cream you
- 1:38Speaker 1: could possibly want, and so the way to go. So
- 1:41Speaker 1: it's a National ice Cream Day. Forty percent of Americans
- 1:45Speaker 1: have eaten an entire pint of ice cream. That's four
- 1:48Speaker 1: servings supposed to be eaten by four different people, and
- 1:53Speaker 1: forty percent of people have done that by themselves.
- 1:57Speaker 3: You were saying, just one scoop, Yeah, because anything more
- 2:00Speaker 3: than that ice cream makes me feel sick to my stomach.
- 2:02Speaker 3: I love it in a small dose, but eating too
- 2:06Speaker 3: much ice cream puts you into a coma.
- 2:10Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have that problem. I'm a too scoop
- 2:12Speaker 1: guy in a waffle cone. I'm a two scoop guy
- 2:16Speaker 1: in a waffle cone. I normally go my default flavors
- 2:20Speaker 1: are cookie dough strawberry. Normally those are mine, but I've
- 2:26Speaker 1: been going more exotic, more exotic recently. You know, I'll
- 2:30Speaker 1: have some.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Strawberry is underrated, especially when it's a shake. I love
- 2:34Speaker 3: strawberry shakes.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Yeah, properly made strawberries outstanding. So and I'm not lactose intolerant,
- 2:41Speaker 1: so I don't have to worry about that. And I
- 2:43Speaker 1: don't eat ice cream when I'm sad. Some people eat
- 2:46Speaker 1: ice cream when they're sad, right, they do that. And
- 2:49Speaker 1: people were depressed, they had plans and the plans got canceled,
- 2:52Speaker 1: they'll eat They'll end up eating ice cream. And I
- 2:55Speaker 1: don't really do that. I'm actually happy when my plans
- 2:58Speaker 1: are canceled and whatnot. But we're gonna get to the mailbag.
- 3:01Speaker 1: But I wanted to start because this is the biggest
- 3:04Speaker 1: day of the summer on the Overnight show. It's the
- 3:08Speaker 1: Mallard Palooza. And this we paid a lot of money, Danny.
- 3:12Speaker 1: We spared no expense. This podcast normally has no budget
- 3:15Speaker 1: the fifth hour. However, we now have enough money to
- 3:20Speaker 1: get the exclusive pregame rights for the twenty twenty five
- 3:24Speaker 1: Mallar Paloosa, which is tonight, the greatest night of the
- 3:29Speaker 1: summer in overnight sports radio. It's going to be amazing.
- 3:33Speaker 1: So the Ben Malor Show, which on this night, we
- 3:37Speaker 1: have a little bit of everything right now. We normally
- 3:39Speaker 1: have some people that are unhinged We have people that
- 3:43Speaker 1: are brilliant, we have people you know somewhere in between,
- 3:48Speaker 1: but nothing we do can compare to the malor palooza.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Tonight it is green light go. The flag is up.
- 3:56Speaker 1: And what exactly for those that have not heard the
- 3:58Speaker 1: Mallard Paloosa, because there are new people. If you're new
- 4:02Speaker 1: to this part of town, you're new to the village.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Imagine if you took the Gong Show and you filtered
- 4:09Speaker 1: it through late night sports talk delirium and then added
- 4:14Speaker 1: just a little dash, no more than a dash of
- 4:18Speaker 1: America's got no talent, that's a spinoff show. And you
- 4:22Speaker 1: put that all in there and let that simmer on
- 4:24Speaker 1: a crock pot all weekend long, and mix in some
- 4:30Speaker 1: radio lunacy and there you go.
- 4:33Speaker 3: Put some cocaine back into Coca Cola and everyone has
- 4:36Speaker 3: a drink of that.
- 4:37Speaker 1: That's the original way to go. I saw Trump wants
- 4:39Speaker 1: to get that Mexican coke in America, but they got
- 4:41Speaker 1: to put the original coke, as you said, Danny, in Georgia.
- 4:45Speaker 1: When they put that, you know that white powder in there?
- 4:47Speaker 3: Man?
- 4:48Speaker 1: And where are the white women at the matth of Plosa?
- 4:52Speaker 1: Is a wonderfully weird circus, and I will be the ringleader.
- 4:56Speaker 1: I will also be the judge. I am the moral
- 4:59Speaker 1: center of the malord militia that doesn't really believe in morals,
- 5:04Speaker 1: so I will be there. I will be the judge,
- 5:08Speaker 1: the middle medieval executioner, the whole thing. So I will listen.
- 5:15Speaker 1: My plan is to listen very patiently. I will NodD
- 5:17Speaker 1: along as you get on the air tonight and you sing.
- 5:22Speaker 1: You know, somebody's gonna get up there and sing an
- 5:24Speaker 1: off key version of I have the Tiger on a ukulele,
- 5:27Speaker 1: mark the full name. Guys back, he's got his harmonica out,
- 5:30Speaker 1: and I will listen. I will then eviscerate most of
- 5:34Speaker 1: the acts like they were jose Albouve of the cheating Astros. Now,
- 5:41Speaker 1: the plan is to be fair. However, it's a radio,
- 5:47Speaker 1: so we have to be entertaining. We you know, I'm
- 5:49Speaker 1: gonna be fair, but I gotta be entertaining, and it
- 5:52Speaker 1: has to be somewhat memorable. So if you're gonna bomb,
- 5:56Speaker 1: at least do it with conviction, take pride in it.
- 6:01Speaker 1: We're gonna have stand up comedy performed into a vacuum.
- 6:05Speaker 1: No laughter, no clapping, just a voice, telling knock knock
- 6:10Speaker 1: jokes or telling jokes. Did you hear the one about
- 6:13Speaker 1: Bill Belichick taking his girlfriend to dinner? Yeah, chuck e
- 6:17Speaker 1: cheese is not that cheap anymore, you know, Bump bump.
- 6:21Speaker 1: So there will be animal impersonations, animal impressments, which are
- 6:28Speaker 1: so gonna be so good you're gonna think you're at
- 6:30Speaker 1: the San Diego Zoo. We're gonna get stupid human tricks,
- 6:35Speaker 1: which is pretty much all of this is stupid human tricks.
- 6:38Speaker 1: And you know, some kind of regrettable decision, like somebody's
- 6:41Speaker 1: probably dared. I'm gonna call up the Malor Show on
- 6:45Speaker 1: six hundred radio stations. That's right. Remember that guy, that's
- 6:50Speaker 1: a guy from Georgia. Remember that it was a farm
- 6:52Speaker 1: of him. Yes, and he only called up that one time.
- 6:55Speaker 1: I think he called one other time. That's it, and
- 6:57Speaker 1: he was really good. But willis Andre from the Commonwealth's
- 7:01Speaker 1: beloved dog who will likely steal the show and also
- 7:06Speaker 1: urinate on the show at the same time. So we'll
- 7:08Speaker 1: have that and it's gonna be great, Mallatplus, it's not
- 7:12Speaker 1: just a talent show. It's a test of endurance and
- 7:17Speaker 1: for those that are brave enough to participate tonight. We
- 7:20Speaker 1: thank you for those of you that are planning on
- 7:23Speaker 1: just listening and he's dropping in. It is a it's
- 7:29Speaker 1: not just a town show. It's a talent show design
- 7:31Speaker 1: for people who are not particularly interested in being talented.
- 7:36Speaker 1: So we're not there to coddle your feelings or anything
- 7:39Speaker 1: like that, and we're not really there to give constructive feedback.
- 7:44Speaker 1: We're not a real entertainment show in that regard, and
- 7:48Speaker 1: we're there to crown a winner and pretty much burn
- 7:51Speaker 1: everyone else to the ground. And it's not the voice
- 7:54Speaker 1: or anything like that. It's, if anything, is the voice
- 7:57Speaker 1: in your head at two thirty in the morning. So
- 8:02Speaker 1: if you're going to impersonate a zebra on national radio,
- 8:06Speaker 1: more power to you. But I've noticed over the years, Danny,
- 8:09Speaker 1: a lot of these acts are imagining your uncle singing
- 8:12Speaker 1: karaoke on three Medello tall Boys, right just out there,
- 8:15Speaker 1: just going for it. And uh, you know, it's not
- 8:19Speaker 1: a corporate thing, and you know the corporate people are
- 8:21Speaker 1: all sleeping and all that, and we'll just like all
- 8:25Speaker 1: other Malapaluza events, it's going to be unfiltered, and it's
- 8:28Speaker 1: amateur hour. It's not not professional.
- 8:32Speaker 3: You know, I enjoy how the talent covers all bases.
- 8:36Speaker 3: You can go from a guy who belches a song
- 8:39Speaker 3: to a famous pianist who you know, yeah, who plays
- 8:44Speaker 3: something amazing. I've heard a lot of things that are
- 8:48Speaker 3: on the level of a blue collar dude all the
- 8:50Speaker 3: way up to you know, a guy who tours the world.
- 8:54Speaker 1: Well, we had last year Pam from Seattle, who's a
- 8:57Speaker 1: friend of Vincanter. Pam is a classically trained musician who
- 9:01Speaker 1: was amazing, and like, what are you doing here, You're
- 9:04Speaker 1: ruining the whole bit. It's supposed to be the guy
- 9:07Speaker 1: from Syracuse who's rhythmically farting one of the great acts.
- 9:11Speaker 1: We had a couple of legendary acts. We had the
- 9:13Speaker 1: Boston burper who would burp out words, say well, burp
- 9:18Speaker 1: and talk at the same time. And we had the
- 9:21Speaker 1: guy from Iowa that would squeal songs like a pig.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Always great, always great. So we're excited about it. You know,
- 9:29Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if the act is good. What matters
- 9:32Speaker 1: is that the act happened. It's not art exactly, but
- 9:35Speaker 1: it feels kind of like art, and that's all we need.
- 9:39Speaker 1: And we're very happy about that. And so we thank
- 9:42Speaker 1: those that are doing it. It's not easy to do.
- 9:44Speaker 1: You're on a big platform and you're doing it, and
- 9:48Speaker 1: if it goes well and you'll win, you can tell people.
- 9:51Speaker 1: And if you don't win, you don't have to worry
- 9:53Speaker 1: about it. No one heard it, so you're all good.
- 9:55Speaker 1: And there is that, but there it is. The Malard Palooza. Tonight,
- 10:00Speaker 1: one night, only four hours is going to set a
- 10:03Speaker 1: record for downloads during the summer months on the show.
- 10:07Speaker 1: It's right up there with the Benny Awards, which is
- 10:10Speaker 1: the biggest night in overnight sports radio. But for the summer,
- 10:14Speaker 1: this is it. This is absolutely it. So we're looking
- 10:19Speaker 1: forward to that. To me a lot of fun. And
- 10:20Speaker 1: before I forget Dan, I did want to thank you.
- 10:22Speaker 1: I got several messages this week from people saying, Hey,
- 10:26Speaker 1: I didn't realize you stay it at hotels that have bedbugs.
- 10:30Speaker 1: I had no idea like hotels with bedbugs. So I guess, Danny,
- 10:36Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that are listening to the
- 10:37Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show and heard you crack the mics and
- 10:41Speaker 1: I was like, I woke up and I'm like, what
- 10:44Speaker 1: the what the freaking.
- 10:46Speaker 3: I didn't say you had bed bugs. I said, you
- 10:49Speaker 3: think bed bugs are a myth, that you know it's
- 10:53Speaker 3: overstated that cheaper hotels have them. That's what I said.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Yeah, well what I told you. I said, I'd check.
- 11:00Speaker 1: I stay at cheaper hotels, which I'm fine with because
- 11:04Speaker 1: the whole point of traveling is not to sit in
- 11:05Speaker 1: your hotel room, is to go out and do stuff.
- 11:08Speaker 1: But I'll check. I'm not gonna stay. There's ways you
- 11:11Speaker 1: can see if they're bedbugs. You look, you pick the
- 11:13Speaker 1: pillows up, you look under the sheets.
- 11:16Speaker 3: As we were roasting Rob Parker because he had a
- 11:19Speaker 3: great post on Instagram this past week, he was traveling
- 11:24Speaker 3: after the All Star Game back to la and he
- 11:26Speaker 3: went to a grocery store the night before his flight
- 11:29Speaker 3: back home, picked up two reduced price sandwiches. One was
- 11:34Speaker 3: a some gouda something in the other was a mayonnaise
- 11:38Speaker 3: based chicken salad sandwich. And He's like, these would have
- 11:42Speaker 3: been eighteen dollars at the airport. I got him for
- 11:45Speaker 3: two dollars and seventy cents. And we're saying, no, there's
- 11:49Speaker 3: some things to be frugal with, not mayonnaise based sandwiches.
- 11:54Speaker 1: Though No, I saw that too, I said Rob. First
- 11:58Speaker 1: of all, even if you did that, why would you
- 12:01Speaker 1: celebrate it? Why would you post it? You know, like,
- 12:03Speaker 1: I mean, what are you doing? I take it the
- 12:05Speaker 1: chicken salad sandwich. You might as well drive right to
- 12:08Speaker 1: the emergency room and have your stomach pumped, all right, Like.
- 12:11Speaker 3: Yeah, in CNAR, they were like, well, the grocery store
- 12:13Speaker 3: wildn't sell it if it's bad, And I'm like, okay,
- 12:16Speaker 3: but he has a long uber ride to the airport,
- 12:20Speaker 3: probably hot in the car, let's be honest. And then
- 12:22Speaker 3: the terminals in most of Atlanta's airport, half of the
- 12:26Speaker 3: place there that I was walking through, I had to
- 12:28Speaker 3: like sit in one section and wait for my flight
- 12:31Speaker 3: to board so I could actually feel some ac Could
- 12:34Speaker 3: you imagine that mayonnaise danwich just rotting in his bag
- 12:37Speaker 3: that whole time.
- 12:38Speaker 1: Or rotting in his stomach. And then the other thing
- 12:41Speaker 1: is he's flyes Spirit Airlines and you have to pay
- 12:44Speaker 1: like seventy five dollars to use the bathroom on a
- 12:47Speaker 1: Spirit floor plate, even if.
- 12:48Speaker 3: It's one hundred and twenty five.
- 12:50Speaker 1: If you take a dump, oh yeah, forget it. If
- 12:52Speaker 1: you take a dump, I mean that's a that's a
- 12:55Speaker 1: toxic spill. They might they might bring the whole plane down.
- 12:57Speaker 1: So that is that is insan like, I'm all for
- 13:01Speaker 1: saving bug, but you can save even more money if
- 13:03Speaker 1: you just fast. You don't have to, you know, don't
- 13:05Speaker 1: need that. Whatever, my god, what are you doing so well?
- 13:09Speaker 3: They couldn't do a segment on the Dan Patrick Show
- 13:12Speaker 3: about co workers who like to save money without me
- 13:14Speaker 3: giving you an honorable mention.
- 13:16Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I was like, I was trying to.
- 13:18Speaker 1: I was like, what what happened? Like? Why are all
- 13:20Speaker 1: these people messaging me? I didn't do anything. I haven't
- 13:23Speaker 1: really been anywhere recently where I've stayed at a cheap
- 13:26Speaker 1: hotel or anything like that. It's like, anyway, well, thanks
- 13:29Speaker 1: for the shout out, Dan, I do appreciate that. And
- 13:31Speaker 1: let's get the mail bag, mail bag, mail bag.
- 13:35Speaker 3: It's a big.
- 13:42Speaker 1: Mail bag. Thank you very much, ohio al. First up
- 13:52Speaker 1: is Scott from Clearwater, Florida. He says, uh, if a
- 13:57Speaker 1: traditional heart shape is not that of an actual heart,
- 14:01Speaker 1: what it actually looks like? Where did the heart shape
- 14:04Speaker 1: or phrase heart shaped originate? Why did someone and eventually
- 14:09Speaker 1: all of society thing of heart looks like that? All right?
- 14:13Speaker 1: So I did some digging on this Scott in Clearwater, Florida.
- 14:16Speaker 1: Thank you for listening to the podcast. God Bless you.
- 14:19Speaker 1: So the earliest known heart like shape, they believe it
- 14:24Speaker 1: it came from the seed pod. It's a now extinct plant,
- 14:32Speaker 1: but it was used by the Romans and the ancient Greeks.
- 14:37Speaker 1: And the great thing about this is it was used
- 14:40Speaker 1: as an aphrodisiac, like a contraceptive. It was an early viagra.
- 14:45Speaker 1: This plant, the seed pod, was like early viagra, and
- 14:51Speaker 1: it's part of the Greek mythology and all that, but
- 14:53Speaker 1: it's like it was a legitimate thing, the seed pod,
- 14:57Speaker 1: and it resembled the modern what we consider today to
- 15:01Speaker 1: be the modern heart shape, even though your real heart
- 15:05Speaker 1: does not look like that. They claim those that have
- 15:09Speaker 1: studied it that medieval artistic influence also played a role.
- 15:14Speaker 1: That they took what they did in ancient Greece and
- 15:18Speaker 1: the Romans, and then they added to that. They kind
- 15:23Speaker 1: of copied it and added to it. But there were
- 15:26Speaker 1: depictions of the sacred Heart of Jesus starting around the
- 15:31Speaker 1: eleventeenth century, and it's just kind of it's continued ever
- 15:35Speaker 1: since then, and so it goes way way back. You're
- 15:41Speaker 1: talking about it started because of a plant and no
- 15:44Speaker 1: longer exists. With the Romans, and then by late Middle
- 15:50Speaker 1: Ages the heart shape had been used in literature and
- 15:54Speaker 1: romantic love. In the thirteenth century there were French manuscripts
- 16:00Speaker 1: that included as well. So you can think, as it
- 16:04Speaker 1: turns out, scott and Clearwater, you can think a plant
- 16:08Speaker 1: that is now extinct that they used to make whoopee
- 16:12Speaker 1: back in the you know, the early days, back then.
- 16:16Speaker 1: So there you go. Next up on the mailbag is
- 16:20Speaker 1: Reggie in Motown. Reggie and Detroit writes in says, Hey, guys,
- 16:26Speaker 1: excited for the mal or poloosa Tonight, Ben which kind
- 16:29Speaker 1: of judge are you going to be? Well, you'll have
- 16:33Speaker 1: to find out. Reggie, tune in tonight eleven PM West.
- 16:37Speaker 1: Two Am. I think of myself two am in the East.
- 16:40Speaker 1: I think of myself kind of like Simon Cowell meets
- 16:43Speaker 1: the East German judge.
- 16:44Speaker 3: Does anyway, I don't know, sure, Yeah, you aren't very
- 16:48Speaker 3: easy to impress.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Well you get the East German judge. I don't know
- 16:51Speaker 1: that anyone younger in the demo gets it. But that
- 16:54Speaker 1: goes back to the seventies and the eighties, right, It
- 16:56Speaker 1: wasn't The story was the East German Judge would would
- 16:59Speaker 1: only give high scores to communist countries.
- 17:04Speaker 3: Isn't still a pop culture reference of the Russian Judge?
- 17:08Speaker 1: Well, yeah, the Russian Judge too, but the always said
- 17:11Speaker 1: the East German Judge was the one that was tougher
- 17:14Speaker 1: on any Western country and would would mark down people
- 17:18Speaker 1: if they were not from a communist country, you get
- 17:21Speaker 1: a lower score. So no, I'm gonna listening, and I
- 17:25Speaker 1: will give my disclaimer. It's not easy to perform Reggie
- 17:28Speaker 1: at the Mallard Palooza, and it's different now. You know,
- 17:32Speaker 1: Eddie's not with the show anymore, and I don't know
- 17:33Speaker 1: what kind of judge Lorraina is gonna be. And Coop
- 17:37Speaker 1: will be there, so we'll see Alf from he says
- 17:41Speaker 1: from the Mallard Paloza. Red carpet says, greetings, gentlemen, Ben,
- 17:45Speaker 1: any chance that someone in the studio tonight will have
- 17:49Speaker 1: an itchy trigger trigger finger on the gong during the
- 17:52Speaker 1: talent show just enough to allow time for the usual bits,
- 17:56Speaker 1: the who am I? The instant trivia, the Malar Riddle.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Alf says, I just feel like I'd be stealing money
- 18:04Speaker 1: from Fox Sports radio, because those are the only bits
- 18:07Speaker 1: I really get paid for being the all time lost
- 18:11Speaker 1: king in all those bits, ain't easy, signed Alf the
- 18:15Speaker 1: Alien Opotter. Well, if we are not planning on having
- 18:17Speaker 1: the who am I? The instant trivia or the Mallard
- 18:20Speaker 1: Riddle of the Day on the show because of the timing,
- 18:24Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna I am gonna do some Mallor monologues.
- 18:26Speaker 1: They'll be shorter Malar monologues to leave time for the acts.
- 18:31Speaker 1: So it's it's gonna be a little bit of a
- 18:33Speaker 1: different timing thing here. And what I'd like is for
- 18:37Speaker 1: Alf and some of the other regulars to be judges.
- 18:42Speaker 1: I'll get real time feedback from the people because I'll
- 18:45Speaker 1: be judging, and we'll be judging in the studio in
- 18:47Speaker 1: the Mallard plus. And then you guys can chime in
- 18:49Speaker 1: with a like a zinger, a good one liner, and
- 18:52Speaker 1: that'll keep the show.
- 18:53Speaker 3: Moving, so that won't take up any valuable airtime at all.
- 18:57Speaker 3: It sounds like you getting a call from New York
- 19:01Speaker 3: so you can report it back to the field.
- 19:03Speaker 1: Yeah, yea, I know it'll be boots on the ground.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Boots on the ground, So I'm all for it. Ferg
- 19:08Speaker 1: Dog and Fullerton writes and says, hey, Ben and Danny
- 19:10Speaker 1: g as Ben knows, I am a huge fan of
- 19:14Speaker 1: bumper music. I look forward to the bumpers on his
- 19:17Speaker 1: show every night.
- 19:18Speaker 3: Ferg says, that's right. I am undefeated with bumper music.
- 19:22Speaker 2: You killed it.
- 19:24Speaker 3: I am the reigning champion of bumper music on the
- 19:27Speaker 3: Ben Mallers Show.
- 19:28Speaker 1: Your nickname is bumper g Yeah or firsts as they
- 19:33Speaker 1: set the tone bumper music for every segment. Would it
- 19:37Speaker 1: be possible for the fifth hour to have bumper music
- 19:40Speaker 1: as well? Or does that not work on a podcast?
- 19:43Speaker 1: I wouldn't even mind if you could only play music
- 19:47Speaker 1: that's in the public domain. What do you think? Also,
- 19:50Speaker 1: in honor of the Big Dumpers home run derby Wynne,
- 19:53Speaker 1: do you guys take any fiber supplements?
- 19:56Speaker 3: Says Ferg Wow.
- 20:00Speaker 1: All right, Yeah. This is because Lorena played the Titanic
- 20:03Speaker 1: song Danny coming Back to Break and I snapped a
- 20:08Speaker 1: little bit. I said, you got to know the target
- 20:10Speaker 1: demo and that's not target demo and.
- 20:13Speaker 3: She just played it for no reason. It didn't tie
- 20:16Speaker 3: into anything you were talking about.
- 20:18Speaker 1: Well, I had mentioned I think I mentioned the Titanic
- 20:20Speaker 1: I'd mentioned something during the monologue. It was just a
- 20:22Speaker 1: throwaway line. It wasn't to play the song I Got you.
- 20:25Speaker 3: It wasn't like like a main thought of the topic.
- 20:29Speaker 1: Yeah, And I snapped because I get email from old
- 20:34Speaker 1: dudes who like I like, I want to hear fucking
- 20:38Speaker 1: a CDC, not Titanic exactly, like I don't know you
- 20:42Speaker 1: play those love songs and those chicks. Yeah, And I
- 20:47Speaker 1: was like, I don't.
- 20:47Speaker 3: I played everything from Boston to Boogie Down productions, and.
- 20:51Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, my rant Danny, I was like,
- 20:54Speaker 1: I don't. You're tuning into a.
- 20:57Speaker 3: You're very You've always been very anti bumper music because
- 21:00Speaker 3: your theory is people don't tune in for the ged music.
- 21:04Speaker 3: They tune in for me.
- 21:06Speaker 1: Well, yes, just like if I was turning on Kiss FM,
- 21:10Speaker 1: I wouldn't say, boy, I really enjoyed that stop set
- 21:13Speaker 1: by the DJ.
- 21:14Speaker 3: I mean not right, but ben with sports talk radio,
- 21:18Speaker 3: really really well placed. Bumper music is like icing on
- 21:23Speaker 3: top of a beautifully baked cake. No, I hear you.
- 21:26Speaker 1: I would rather than play the right song like sound
- 21:28Speaker 1: that to me, that's more important, like have any sound
- 21:31Speaker 1: to play. I would like to me, that's much more
- 21:33Speaker 1: important than music. But whatever, listen, so ferg Dog very
- 21:36Speaker 1: funny like that. And as far as fiber supplements, Danny, No,
- 21:42Speaker 1: I do do some. Like I've started eating more yogurt
- 21:47Speaker 1: because it's good for you. It's good for your digestive system.
- 21:50Speaker 1: I guess that that's about it.
- 21:55Speaker 3: I mean, I take let's see, how about are you
- 21:57Speaker 3: on the new Genics. No, I don't like it too.
- 22:02Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, uh.
- 22:04Speaker 3: Fiber you don't really need that, man, Just eat some
- 22:07Speaker 3: fruit and you know, have that as a regular part
- 22:10Speaker 3: of your diet. The one thing, speaking of blood flow,
- 22:13Speaker 3: there are some good supplements that keeps the blood flowing,
- 22:16Speaker 3: especially in your legs China. And then I also take
- 22:22Speaker 3: like clear lungs because we're in the smog in southern California.
- 22:29Speaker 3: I take two supplements that help, like, you know, keep
- 22:34Speaker 3: your chest clean and clear.
- 22:37Speaker 1: I took for a while. I have a really fed
- 22:40Speaker 1: up My right knee is kind of fed up old
- 22:43Speaker 1: football injury. Back in the day when I was start
- 22:45Speaker 1: Polk High School. I heard my knees somewhere along the way.
- 22:50Speaker 1: In fact, that funny thing is, I think this might
- 22:52Speaker 1: actually be from that media baseball game at Dodger Stadium
- 22:55Speaker 1: when I injured myself and ended up on the Channel
- 22:58Speaker 1: eleven news in LA that night.
- 23:00Speaker 3: That explains your performance at Bakersfield.
- 23:03Speaker 1: You don't you did that pitch was a strike, and
- 23:07Speaker 1: I don't it it was a strike. There are more
- 23:10Speaker 1: ways than one to get a picture, to get a
- 23:13Speaker 1: hitter out with a different picture.
- 23:15Speaker 3: Oh, those necros all look the same when they're pitching, all.
- 23:18Speaker 1: Right, Calm down, cowboy anyway, So I uh, I took
- 23:23Speaker 1: that for a while. It helped the cartilage in my
- 23:26Speaker 1: knee for some reason, because my knee was locking up.
- 23:29Speaker 1: But I stopped taking it and I haven't had any problems.
- 23:33Speaker 1: So I'll take it again when my knee starts flaring up,
- 23:36Speaker 1: and that'll be that. Tommy from Vegas writes in He says, Hey,
- 23:41Speaker 1: Ben and Danny, you guys work in these sports media business.
- 23:44Speaker 1: Do you think Shannon Sharp will now return to ESPN?
- 23:48Speaker 1: He settled his lawsuit. I guess he paid off the
- 23:54Speaker 1: cuser this week. Danny. I, I don't think he's gonna return.
- 24:01Speaker 1: I don't know a lot about it. I just had
- 24:03Speaker 1: heard some stuff that Disney Disney was not going to
- 24:07Speaker 1: be down for him to return so I don't know.
- 24:10Speaker 3: I don't know if he's I think the way the
- 24:13Speaker 3: climate is, especially with the Joy Taylor stuff, if you
- 24:17Speaker 3: have any of that swirling around you, then these media
- 24:21Speaker 3: companies don't really want to be dealing with any of
- 24:23Speaker 3: that pr right now.
- 24:25Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a lot of money to Shannon Sharp, he
- 24:28Speaker 1: ends up he could have hated the woman off originally
- 24:31Speaker 1: and it would have kept the job.
- 24:33Speaker 3: But I think he tried ben that was part of
- 24:36Speaker 3: the story.
- 24:37Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, maybe.
- 24:39Speaker 3: He attempted to and it didn't work out.
- 24:41Speaker 1: Yeah, Tommy, I would say, I don't think we'll see
- 24:44Speaker 1: him on ESPN again. And he's got his podcast that's
- 24:46Speaker 1: I guess doing.
- 24:47Speaker 3: Okay.
- 24:47Speaker 1: I don't know how much he makes from that. Many
- 24:50Speaker 1: from Mesa writes in he says.
- 24:53Speaker 3: His podcast almost has as many listeners as our wishes.
- 24:56Speaker 1: It was the fifth Hour. Manny from Masa says, do
- 25:00Speaker 1: you think this will be turned into a Netflix special?
- 25:04Speaker 1: He sent me a story here. Danny says a Virgin
- 25:06Speaker 1: Atlantic forced to respond after luggage was covered with human feces.
- 25:13Speaker 1: This happened at JFK in New York. According to this
- 25:21Speaker 1: very graphic article from the Daily Mail, which manny I
- 25:25Speaker 1: did not see this. Passengers were waiting for their bags
- 25:28Speaker 1: at JFK when they started noticing a smell as the
- 25:31Speaker 1: bags arrived. The bags, a couple of them, appeared to
- 25:35Speaker 1: be covered in a mysterious light brown substance. And it
- 25:41Speaker 1: was the smell that overwhelmed the carousel. And it turns
- 25:46Speaker 1: out there was some poopy. Oh man, this is not
- 25:50Speaker 1: just a little poopy. There is a lot, a lot
- 25:53Speaker 1: of a lot of poopy, a lot of poopy. The
- 25:56Speaker 1: suitcases have flown from Heathrow Airport in London JFK, and
- 26:02Speaker 1: I had the splot. This is not just a little
- 26:04Speaker 1: bit of splatter though day. This is like next level man,
- 26:07Speaker 1: they are.
- 26:08Speaker 3: This is like the documentary that's on Netflix right now.
- 26:10Speaker 3: How about that poop Cruise.
- 26:12Speaker 1: Yeah, which I saw, I talked about it. I think
- 26:15Speaker 1: I don't know I talked about it here or not?
- 26:16Speaker 1: I think did? I don't even know. I talking to
- 26:19Speaker 1: microphones a lot. Have you seen it? You and the
- 26:22Speaker 1: wife watched the Poop Cruise one?
- 26:23Speaker 3: No, we haven't watched it yet.
- 26:24Speaker 1: It's pretty good, not bad. The one of the women
- 26:28Speaker 1: in there that's featured, one of the blonde women. She
- 26:32Speaker 1: was supposed to interview Michael Jordan, but she didn't end
- 26:36Speaker 1: up doing it because she was stuck on the boat,
- 26:37Speaker 1: the poop cruise.
- 26:39Speaker 3: So wow.
- 26:41Speaker 1: So as far as this story with the luggage, do
- 26:46Speaker 1: you get compensated for that? Do you hire a lawyer?
- 26:49Speaker 1: Are you allowed to sue if there's poopy all over
- 26:52Speaker 1: your bags? It says in an email. The airline said
- 26:57Speaker 1: the substance was grease from a broken pipe in the terminal. Video,
- 27:03Speaker 1: though showed something would appear to be something other than that.
- 27:08Speaker 1: They sent an email saying, we were aware of a
- 27:10Speaker 1: New York JFK system failure that affected the baggage a
- 27:15Speaker 1: small number of arriving customers. This is back on July fourteenth, so.
- 27:21Speaker 3: It was small number two.
- 27:26Speaker 1: Yeah, that is craziness. People said it was human waste.
- 27:33Speaker 1: This never happened toilet, they claimed. The airline said it
- 27:38Speaker 1: was not toilet waste. Bob, look like I'm looking at
- 27:41Speaker 1: the photo I sent you the story Dan, it does
- 27:43Speaker 1: kind of look like I mean, I don't know how
- 27:46Speaker 1: would that happen? Seriously, unless something on the plane, like
- 27:52Speaker 1: when they were taking the baggage off the plane, something
- 27:54Speaker 1: leaked in the plane. I don't. I don't even know
- 27:57Speaker 1: how that would would take place. It's wild.
- 28:01Speaker 3: It's not even a little bit of poo. That bag
- 28:03Speaker 3: looks like it was painted in poo.
- 28:06Speaker 1: It's like a uh we splatter paint. You know, you
- 28:09Speaker 1: splattered on it? Uh yeah? Why not make that a documentary?
- 28:15Speaker 1: Make that a documentary.
- 28:16Speaker 3: Part of that la installment you were looking at on
- 28:19Speaker 3: yesterday's podcast.
- 28:20Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, of course. My god, the splatter poo everywhere?
- 28:27Speaker 1: Why not? What the heck? Just like an overflowing toilet? Man,
- 28:32Speaker 1: oh man, what's the I'm having a mental block. What's
- 28:35Speaker 1: the artist that just rose?
- 28:39Speaker 3: Jackson Pollock?
- 28:40Speaker 1: Yes, yes, it's a jack a Jackson Pollock. Were you
- 28:44Speaker 1: just doesn't the bag look like a Jackson Pollock where
- 28:47Speaker 1: you just splattered pooh?
- 28:49Speaker 3: Yeah, the Jackson Pollock of poo?
- 28:52Speaker 1: Oh my god? Wild? Okay. A berry from South Carolina says,
- 28:58Speaker 1: trying to sell, but showings are few and far between.
- 29:01Speaker 1: Tough market. Yeah, I've heard that the housing market's not
- 29:03Speaker 1: good right now? Yo yo, Ma, Benny. I would send
- 29:07Speaker 1: this question to you on ask Ben, but I don't
- 29:10Speaker 1: have an X account and won't get it. So here goes,
- 29:14Speaker 1: What is your preferred brand of peanut butter Jiff, Skippy,
- 29:17Speaker 1: Peter Pan or another one. Also, I just watched Untold
- 29:23Speaker 1: Shooting Guards on Netflix on the Gilbert Arenas andvaris Javarvis Crittington,
- 29:31Speaker 1: the gun, the guard that they got the gun into
- 29:34Speaker 1: in the locker room. It's good, very well done. Have
- 29:36Speaker 1: you seen this yet? I've not seen the Gilbert Arenas documentary.
- 29:42Speaker 1: I was friends with Gilbert Arenas's high school teacher who
- 29:48Speaker 1: told me some amazing stories about Gilbert from La Here
- 29:52Speaker 1: when he was in high school. His old high school
- 29:55Speaker 1: teacher is in Usher. Wasn't Usher? I think he's retired
- 29:58Speaker 1: and that was an usher at Dodger State. As far
- 30:02Speaker 1: as peanut butter, I'm I'm team Skippy. I'm team Skippy.
- 30:06Speaker 1: My wife is not. She's actually gone and gotten. Like
- 30:09Speaker 1: the Organic Trader Joe's.
- 30:13Speaker 3: Peanut bald sore. Their peanut butter is god awful. So
- 30:18Speaker 3: is that Costco brand? The Kirkland has no sweetness to
- 30:22Speaker 3: it whatsoever.
- 30:23Speaker 1: Yeah, I usually go skip Skippy. That's what I grew
- 30:26Speaker 1: up with. What about you, Danny?
- 30:28Speaker 3: You can't go wrong with Jiff or Skippy because both
- 30:32Speaker 3: of those have enough sweetness to them. There is nothing
- 30:36Speaker 3: grosser to me than bitter, unsweetened, slimy peanut butter that
- 30:41Speaker 3: you need to stir nasty.
- 30:44Speaker 1: You just describe the trader Joe's peanut butter perfectly, is
- 30:47Speaker 1: what you just did. That's that's pretty much it. A
- 30:49Speaker 1: lot of oil, a lot of slime. Yeah, that's pretty
- 30:54Speaker 1: much where we are with that. What else do we
- 30:56Speaker 1: have on the mail bag? Let's see here from the
- 31:01Speaker 1: I E. Soak Coal the nine on nine Riverside says, Hey,
- 31:07Speaker 1: Man and Danny, have you guys seen the new Superman movie?
- 31:11Speaker 1: It apparently led to a big surge in dog adoption interest.
- 31:17Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I read that article the other day.
- 31:20Speaker 1: Yeah, I have not. I saw did you see the
- 31:24Speaker 1: Our guy? Funhouse Online sent out the Mike Francessa review
- 31:29Speaker 1: of Superman. I don't know if you had a chance
- 31:31Speaker 1: to watch that. Hilarious. Absolutely, Mike Francessa this old sports
- 31:38Speaker 1: radio legend from New York and he went to see
- 31:41Speaker 1: Superman and he just ripped the He ripped the movie
- 31:44Speaker 1: for like five minutes, just torched it, and it was hilarious.
- 31:49Speaker 1: And he talked about the dog. Why is there a dog?
- 31:52Speaker 1: Why is there a dog in the movie? Superman doesn't
- 31:55Speaker 1: need a dog.
- 31:56Speaker 3: You know. It was so I bought a dog and
- 31:58Speaker 3: I named a promotion.
- 32:00Speaker 1: It was so stupid. It was like, I know, I
- 32:04Speaker 1: didn't I did in the movie with you last week.
- 32:07Speaker 1: I saw that f one movie. I'm good. I don't
- 32:10Speaker 1: need to like the movies. Like to me, it's all
- 32:13Speaker 1: just going to eat popcorn, sitting there for a couple
- 32:16Speaker 1: hours and all that stuff. What else do we have this?
- 32:18Speaker 3: Say you're there for the Juju bees.
- 32:21Speaker 1: Something like that. Tony in the Bay Area, right since,
- 32:23Speaker 1: says hey, Ben and Danny g the fifth hour with
- 32:26Speaker 1: Rants was poetry. You guys, ever go to an NFL
- 32:30Speaker 1: stadium when your team is the road team? Tony says,
- 32:35Speaker 1: I went to the coliseum and both Niners stadiums. One
- 32:40Speaker 1: I almost got jumped and the other two were pleasant.
- 32:44Speaker 1: You figure it out, says go Bears. There you go.
- 32:48Speaker 1: You've done that. Danny, You've gone senior team right on
- 32:51Speaker 1: the road a little bit.
- 32:53Speaker 3: I mean, you only got jumped in the Oakland Coliseum.
- 32:57Speaker 3: If you deserve to be jumped, Are you.
- 33:00Speaker 1: Saying Tony was causing problems?
- 33:02Speaker 3: Is that what you're saying the visiting fans if they
- 33:04Speaker 3: were respectful and quiet and just minded their business and
- 33:07Speaker 3: watched the game. Nobody bothered them. The few fans of
- 33:10Speaker 3: the other team you would see inside a Raiders game
- 33:14Speaker 3: would be popping off for some reason. And I remember
- 33:17Speaker 3: being at a Raider Redskin game and there was just
- 33:20Speaker 3: a couple of specks of red amongst the silver and black,
- 33:23Speaker 3: and this one Redskins fan kept popping up talking shit.
- 33:27Speaker 3: Anytime the Redskins got even, like a simple first down.
- 33:31Speaker 3: People were yelling at him to sit down and shut up.
- 33:34Speaker 3: Redskins were losing and he was still popping off. So
- 33:37Speaker 3: Ben I looked around. I had half of a subway
- 33:39Speaker 3: sandwich left in my hand. This guy, he's talking shit
- 33:44Speaker 3: as you blah blah blah. You guys have a losing record.
- 33:47Speaker 3: I mean, he's in Oakland saying this. So I stood
- 33:51Speaker 3: up and I threw the rest of my subway sandwich.
- 33:54Speaker 3: I nailed him right in the shoulder of his Redskin jersey.
- 33:57Speaker 1: Wow, boom, chucked as yeah okay.
- 34:01Speaker 3: And my section gave me a standing ovation and the
- 34:04Speaker 3: clowns sat down and he didn't say a word after that.
- 34:07Speaker 1: Wow, that's that's impressive. That's impressive. Uh yeah, I remember
- 34:12Speaker 1: when the Raiders played in LA it was you know,
- 34:15Speaker 1: that was a long half time ago, but you did not.
- 34:17Speaker 1: I mean there were stories, legendary stories about guys getting
- 34:20Speaker 1: their ass kicked Dodger Stadium. We hear that a lot,
- 34:23Speaker 1: not as much recently.
- 34:24Speaker 3: But if you are a visitor, and I've been a
- 34:27Speaker 3: visitor at other stadiums, I put my head down, I
- 34:30Speaker 3: don't say anything. Do not mix it up with the
- 34:33Speaker 3: home fans. Do not do it. Doesn't matter where you're at,
- 34:36Speaker 3: there's always going to be some fans that take it
- 34:39Speaker 3: way too serious.
- 34:41Speaker 1: Yeah. You know young guys, though, is go for it, man,
- 34:43Speaker 1: you just go for it. And I've been I've been places.
- 34:46Speaker 1: I've been games in Boston, Philadelphia, New York, places like that,
- 34:50Speaker 1: and they'll chuck peanuts and stuff at you. I've never
- 34:53Speaker 1: seen anything really more than that. A lot of fake
- 34:55Speaker 1: tough guy stuff. Yeah, I'm not there all the time.
- 35:00Speaker 1: What do we have? A kwang from Ho Chi Minh
- 35:03Speaker 1: Vietnam rights And he says, Hey, Ben and Danny G
- 35:06Speaker 1: Daddy G. Cameo can be used for birthdays, bar mits
- 35:09Speaker 1: with milestones, or even well dressed roast. Question, Big Ben,
- 35:14Speaker 1: why don't you promote yourself more often, and then he
- 35:17Speaker 1: sent the link from cameo. Well it's there. I do
- 35:23Speaker 1: it when people want me to do it.
- 35:24Speaker 3: They know.
- 35:25Speaker 1: I think most super fans of the show Kwang know
- 35:27Speaker 1: that I have a cameo, and I don't promote it
- 35:32Speaker 1: per se as much as I should. I you know,
- 35:35Speaker 1: it's just something extra if you want for birthday or
- 35:38Speaker 1: something like that, your super fans. I've done special Mallard
- 35:41Speaker 1: monologues for different people. I did one. The last one
- 35:45Speaker 1: I did was after Oklahoma City one. Our guy Kyrie
- 35:50Speaker 1: had me do a special Mallard monologue about the thunder
- 35:53Speaker 1: becoming a dynasty and all that stuff. Something I would
- 35:56Speaker 1: never do unless I got paid to do it. So yeah,
- 35:59Speaker 1: it's fun. I don't mind doing them, but I don't
- 36:01Speaker 1: go out of my way. It does take a little
- 36:03Speaker 1: time to put those together. I was told by some people,
- 36:05Speaker 1: Danny that my problem with cameo is I treat it
- 36:09Speaker 1: like a segment on the radio, and I should just
- 36:11Speaker 1: like a lot of these people that are real. I'm like,
- 36:14Speaker 1: I'm not a real celebrity, but a lot of real
- 36:15Speaker 1: celebrities well just half asset. I heard a couple of
- 36:20Speaker 1: years back that guy that played the soup Nazi on
- 36:24Speaker 1: Seinfeld that he was one of the top moneymakers. Probably
- 36:28Speaker 1: not anymore, but he was one of the top moneymakers
- 36:31Speaker 1: on cameo because he do these short, you know, cameo things.
- 36:35Speaker 1: You know, Jimmy from Minnesota, no soap for you.
- 36:39Speaker 3: You're right, those are the guys that get a lot
- 36:41Speaker 3: of that business because it's just like a funny bit
- 36:44Speaker 3: almost to send somebody for their birthday.
- 36:47Speaker 1: Exactly exactly, Max from Michigan Rights and it says, Hey,
- 36:50Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g you guys think Bill Belichick will
- 36:53Speaker 1: be watching the show. Then he sent me a link
- 36:56Speaker 1: to a Netflix show that'll be coming out. I guess
- 37:02Speaker 1: this is next year, Max. It's called The eight you
- 37:07Speaker 1: heard about the Standing Age of Attraction. It was announced
- 37:11Speaker 1: by Netflix. It matches singles with their soulmates regardless of age.
- 37:16Speaker 1: It'll be hosted by this guy, Nick Vile. I guess
- 37:20Speaker 1: I don't know who that is. He was a bachelor guy.
- 37:24Speaker 1: He's forty four, his wife is twenty six. So there's
- 37:28Speaker 1: an eighteen year Wow, Well that's nothing. How what's the
- 37:33Speaker 1: gap forty something years Belichick forty five, something like that.
- 37:36Speaker 1: Forty eight years. Belichick and his lady friend there, it's
- 37:42Speaker 1: more than a lot more than eighteen. I mean he's
- 37:44Speaker 1: in his seventies, she's in her twenties.
- 37:46Speaker 3: So, like a Leah said back in the day, and
- 37:49Speaker 3: each is not in but a number. Yeah, as long
- 37:52Speaker 3: as the people are legal, they can do whatever they want, right,
- 37:55Speaker 3: And I mean Hugh Hefner and other people in our
- 37:58Speaker 3: culture were celebrated for always having younger females on their arms.
- 38:03Speaker 3: But Belichick's getting a lot of crap because I think
- 38:06Speaker 3: people just got used to him being like an old
- 38:08Speaker 3: curmudgeon coach, and so it was just strange to see
- 38:12Speaker 3: him suddenly have this personality and a young girl on
- 38:16Speaker 3: his arm.
- 38:17Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure, all right, we'll get out last one.
- 38:20Speaker 1: Dan from Orlando, Right, So he says, Hey, Ben, Danny
- 38:22Speaker 1: Jake like podcast blah blah blah blah. The the U.
- 38:27Speaker 1: He says, here's another one. It's we are such media experts, Danny.
- 38:30Speaker 1: People people are now like this guy Dan emailing us.
- 38:34Speaker 1: And who's the other guy that? Just the guy from
- 38:36Speaker 1: uh Orlando, No Michigan, Max? Was that the last guy?
- 38:40Speaker 1: I think that was? Like anyway, whatever, Dan says, this
- 38:43Speaker 1: other Dan says Ben and Danny, Are you guys sad
- 38:47Speaker 1: to see The Late Show with Stephen Colbert canceled? By sibbis,
- 38:54Speaker 1: I'm surprised because that had been such a staple. But
- 38:58Speaker 1: they had those late night shows. I don't know about you, Danny.
- 39:01Speaker 1: I don't really watch them anyway, but I see the
- 39:03Speaker 1: clips online, like most people just watch the clips, and
- 39:08Speaker 1: I rarely see anything funny, Like they just don't seem
- 39:12Speaker 1: to be that funny to me. Maybe they are funny
- 39:14Speaker 1: to other people. But then I saw in the trades
- 39:20Speaker 1: that the Late Show with Stephen Colbert was losing forty
- 39:24Speaker 1: million dollars a year. Forty million dollars a year. So
- 39:31Speaker 1: if you're not you know, you don't really have that
- 39:34Speaker 1: huge an audience, and you're losing forty million dollars a year,
- 39:37Speaker 1: what are you gonna do?
- 39:38Speaker 3: So it's not economically viable. Ben, Maybe I'm prejudice here,
- 39:43Speaker 3: but I would rather listen to late night radio. That's right,
- 39:46Speaker 3: watch late night TV. God bless you.
- 39:48Speaker 1: We see. I'm gonna take credit Danny for canceling Stephen Colbert.
- 39:53Speaker 3: That we are shows that we out sounds like a
- 39:56Speaker 3: slide move.
- 39:57Speaker 1: You let me tell you something the fact that we
- 40:00Speaker 1: outlasted the Late Show. That was an institution, that was
- 40:05Speaker 1: David Letterman's legacy, the Late Show on CBS. I was online.
- 40:09Speaker 1: I was such a Letterman fan growing up, watching when
- 40:13Speaker 1: he was on the Late Late Show after the Tonight Show.
- 40:15Speaker 1: And this was back before the internet. We all watched.
- 40:16Speaker 1: I'm old, we all watched those shows. That was very important.
- 40:19Speaker 1: It was part of pop culture. And I remember when
- 40:22Speaker 1: I'd go back to visit my brother lives in Manhattan.
- 40:25Speaker 1: A few times we were online on standby outside the
- 40:29Speaker 1: ed Sullivan Theater where Letterman did his show, to get
- 40:33Speaker 1: into the Late Show. We got bumped from the audience.
- 40:35Speaker 1: We were very close to getting in. I was in
- 40:37Speaker 1: the lobby of the ed Sullivan Theater. They said, no,
- 40:41Speaker 1: we don't have any more seats and they kicked us out.
- 40:44Speaker 1: Was on the little alley next to the ed Sullivan
- 40:47Speaker 1: Theater hoping that Letterman would come out and do some bit.
- 40:50Speaker 1: So I was a huge fan back in the day.
- 40:52Speaker 3: One time, when I was in New York as a youngster,
- 40:55Speaker 3: I got lucky enough to get some free tickets, got
- 40:58Speaker 3: my ass in there with my girlfriend at the time,
- 41:00Speaker 3: and Dan Rather was his big guest and they talked
- 41:04Speaker 3: politics the whole time. Hand to god, I fell asleep
- 41:08Speaker 3: during the taping.
- 41:09Speaker 1: That's terrible. Yeah, that's too bad. And Colbert, I don't know.
- 41:15Speaker 1: I he didn't he do a Comedy Central thing like
- 41:19Speaker 1: he was like back in the day. And all the
- 41:23Speaker 1: clips of Colbert, I just see him like a talking
- 41:26Speaker 1: deranged political stuff like that's that's his stick.
- 41:31Speaker 3: I guess, yeah, well that's yeah, that's where he's from.
- 41:33Speaker 3: That's what he's most known for. But I mean he
- 41:36Speaker 3: held the rings there for a while. I didn't know
- 41:37Speaker 3: they lost money like that though.
- 41:39Speaker 1: According to something called Puck, they the show cost one
- 41:45Speaker 1: hundred million a year to produce. Can you imagine? How
- 41:48Speaker 1: does that? How does that happen? How did they one
- 41:50Speaker 1: hundred million to make that show a year? Colbert, who's
- 41:54Speaker 1: sixty one, was being paid between fifteen and twenty million
- 41:57Speaker 1: dollars a year to host the show. Wow, Okay, well
- 42:02Speaker 1: I hope he saved as much.
- 42:03Speaker 3: Your Overnight show would have to be on the radio
- 42:05Speaker 3: for ten years to lose that much money, yep.
- 42:09Speaker 1: For them to spend one hundred million a year, Danny,
- 42:12Speaker 1: we would have to be on Fox Sports Radio till
- 42:15Speaker 1: the year twenty three thirty three, I think is uh yeah,
- 42:19Speaker 1: all right, we'll get out on that Danny Mallard Palooza tonight.
- 42:22Speaker 1: We're excited about that nanny car.
