  Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Maller and Danny g Radio A Happy Championship Sunday Conference Championship.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: But what is the name?
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Dan?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Do we have an official name for today? I just
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: know it's the Final Four. I call it the Final Four.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I think they're calling it the Super Championship round weekend
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: on Sunday.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So just watch and we'll get massive ratings.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: It's a little wordy.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: We'll send out a press release on Tuesday, how great
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: there were and how everyone watches the NFL because you're
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: all addicted, and that's it. That's what you're all addicted.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: That's all.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: So besides the Seahawks and Rams, your Rams, the other
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: game is underwhelming.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Let's say if the Patriots don't win that game today,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: there there are some issues. How do you you can't
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: back up quarterback? And everyone brings up Nick Foles and
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Jeff Hostel, but how many other backup quarterbacks have played
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: in our lifetime Danny and sucked the odds? Is it
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: possible one day you know that the Broncos. Everything goes
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: right in my mind and you watch Benny versus the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Penny on YouTube, there's picks for both games today. But
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: in my mind, I mean I did pick the Broncos
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: in the game. I did take them plus the points.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I think the points are too big. The Patriots should
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: win the game is come on, now should win?
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I did the same thing. I think the Patriots
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: are going to win the game by four points, and
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: so Vegas is trying to lure people in. And I
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: think it opened at five and a half and it's
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: sitting at four and a half on DraftKings. But I
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: told this to CNR on the air a few days ago.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Imagine if Davis Mills had gotten into that game instead
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: of CJ. Stroud riding the vomit comment as you would say,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: that's right, and the Texans got past the Patriots, we
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: would have had Davis Mills versus Jared Stidham.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Oh Man, Well, the NFL, the NFL will say, and
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: it is true that it doesn't really matter who's in
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the super Bowl. In our lifetime, we've seen the Arizona
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Cardinals get to the Super Bowl. We've seen the Carolina
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Panthers get a couple times get to the super Bowl.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: So it has happened. Although like of the possible matchups,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a Sam Darnold Jared Stidham matchup in the Super Bowl
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: is really lacking a lot of That's not like the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: match I mean, the made for TV matchup would be
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Stafford versus Drake May. The top two MVP guys, one
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: of them is going to win the MVP And you
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: know how they do this super Bowl week they have
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the Gallo Award ceremony, So a couple of days a
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Friday before I think it's the Friday before or the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Thursday before the Super Bowl, they have the big.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Award show, NFL Honors.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so one of them will win the MVP
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Award and to have that matchup would be pretty good.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: That would be night Patriots back, different coach, different quarterback.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: There's something there. And the Rams with the prodigy, Sean McVay,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and then Stafford the magical season, storybook season. That shocks
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: me that they're in this final four. I was doing monologues. Yeah,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I talked about this on the show the other night.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I was doing monologues before the season about Jimmy Garoppolo
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: being the quarterback because it seemed like Stafford wasn't gonna
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: be able to play. He couldn't practice, his back was
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: all messed up. They brought in this truck special like
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Boodoo Doc Mike, like doctor Guy to come Stafford and
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: here we are, one good day away from getting back to.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: The super Bowl. Let's keep it real. And you're from
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: the Jackiees later days. Yes, yeah, that's been amazing with him.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Slater used to miss preseasons and he told somebody in
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: an interview that I saw or read that the more
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: preseasons he missed, the more the more training camps he missed,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: the more seasons he got to play. And so they
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: just need to keep Stafford out for the next two
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: training camps so he can extend his career even longer.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I know, well the quote Jackie slid what in the web?
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah didn't, wasn't Jackie The one who got disconnected.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I think Jackie had a TV. He had a more
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: important interview, so he cut me off.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: And that's that's what it was. He rushed you off
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: the phone.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: He had TV waiting for him, so podcast TV. He
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: ran away. But I did get to tell Jackie my
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: memory of going to RAMS training camp as a kid.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: My mom would drop me off in a different time
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and I just there was like hardly any security. There
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: was like one rent a cop with a folding chair
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and us, you know, I just I want. I hung
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: out with the offensive lineman and they were farting and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: cursing and talking wild and I, every second of his
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: little kid thought that was the greatest thing in the world.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: So here we are. Championship in the NFL today. A
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: final two will be set Super Bowl a couple of
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: weeks away. Let's get to the mailbag. What do you say,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Danny G mailbag time? Here we go.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: It's this mail.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Bag, ohio al getting me in the mood and first
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: up on the mailbag. These are actual letters by actual
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: listeners to the show. We thank you. When we first
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: started this podcast, I started with Gascon long ago. We
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: had to beg people, we had to I was posting
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: on Facebook to get questions. It was like it was pathetic.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: But fortunately the podcast is picked up and with Danny
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: here and whatnot, we we've done very well. So thank
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: you guys for sending questions. And I never have to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: beg I have not had to beg in sometimes, so
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I do appreciate that. First up is uh Danny in Nashville,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: who writes in. He says, Hey, Ben and Danny g
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: real life work is a biach and my girlfriend is
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: eight months pregnant, so I am not able to call
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: into the show, but I still listen to your guys shows,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: podcast all that stuff. What are your thoughts? Danny and
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Nashville says on the trend of colleges like Alabama and
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Baylor signing G League professionals and they're immediately eligible, the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: NCAA explicitly said the Alabama G League guy was not eligible,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: but a Tuscaloosa Circuit judge, who is a six figure
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: donor to the program, gave him a restraining order against
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the NCAA. He is now allowed to play against Tennessee,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: he said, And I guess I guess this already happened.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: What the f is going on? With college sports at
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: this point. It's semi pro God bless, that's Danny. So
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: first of all, Danny and Nashville, where have you been.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: It's been this way for a number of years. This
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: is not all of a sudden a new revelation from
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: college basketball nation. It's been this way for some time.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: It is bizarre that they're letting G League guys play
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: college basketball, although it's a logical step because what's the difference.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: You're still paying them whether they went to the G
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: League or not. Uh, And this is the way it is.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I hate Danny. The government meddling in this stuff. I
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: know that's where this is headed, and it's it's gonna
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: suck because there's gonna be it's bad now. But then
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: they're gonna put a bunch of rules in that, you know,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: be government oversight, and that's not gonna be any good either.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: So there's really not a great show.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: I can't wait to hear Trump talk about this. I'm
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: gonna have to fix this with all this nil stuff,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: especially with college football kind of I'm gonna I'm gonna
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: be honest. I kind of liked it better when the
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: deals were made in the shadows in the back alleys
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: with bags of cash.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Uh. Yeah, Well I always felt guilty watching because it
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: was so ridiculous when they that bull crab student athlete,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: which was never really the case. It was all a
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: bull crap. Uh. And then this is like the other extreme.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: It's like you go from one wing of the plane
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: to the other wing of the plane. You're like, well,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I want to be in the middle of the plane.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I want to be on the right or the left wing.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I want to be in the middle. You can't be
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: in the middle. It does. It just feels dirty. Like
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: the guys that are transferring while they're on teams that
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: are playing for the championship. There are guys in entering
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the portal. It just seems very odd. But here we
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: are so the guys that play, like the Mississippi old
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: miss quarterback who's played six years tried to get a
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: seventh year of eligibility. I don't know if he got it.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I don't think he did.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: That's the thing, Ben. The portal shouldn't be well that
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: school has ten million for me and you only have
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: five million for me. The portal should be for guys
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: who are backing up a star player and they get
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: lost a little bit on the bench can have an
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: opportunity to start for another team. I think that that's
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: why it was put into place.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Well whatever they whatever they decided it was for, is
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: not being used for that, and they should have a
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: clear window. Like to me, this is one thing I
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: would be on board. If you're a football player and
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: you're going to transfer, make sure it's after the National
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Championship game. It's kind of you know how that we
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: were kids in the World Series and then like the
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: day after the World Series, one of the players would
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: get not released, but kind of put on like they
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: would announce certain players We're not gonna be on the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: team because you have it within seven days of the
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: World after the World Series. But it's after the World
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Series or after the like after the Super Bowl. Let's
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: say the Rams when and when they go to the
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Well yeah, some of those guys will end
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: up getting put on what waivers or whatever after the game,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: but not prior to the game. It just seems seems odd.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: So there will be government oversight. Danny and Nashville and
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I like that you're all grown up. Danny used to
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: call the show back in the day, and he was
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: a kid. Now he's all grown up, he's got the girlfriends,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: about to pop out a kid, he's got a job
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: that he hates. So life is good. Danny in Nashville,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: you're living on adault life.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: May the Lord be with you. I remember what it
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: was like when Brenda was eight months breaknant.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I'm good luck, Danny, good luck.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: You know it's a blessing now, man, I love having
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: CoA in my life. But at the time and going
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: through a pregnancy with somebody, there were several times I
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: wanted to go for a pack of cigarettes. If you
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying here, I hear you.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Ryan C from Shrewsbury, mass Writes and he said, hello boys,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: It's been a while since I emailed you, but I
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: still listen to every episode and at least the last
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: half hour of the Overnight Show. My question this week
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: for both of you guys, first, been any updates on
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: coming to Worcester. I plan on making myself available whenever
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: that is. I would love to finally meet you and
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: everyone else as well. And Danny, you haven't been on
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the pod lately. What's new and is everything all right
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: with you? Love hearing your stories Danny and noticed an
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: apologies in advance of some me personal that's Ryan and Shrewsbury.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I'll go first, right, So I am going to be
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: coming to Worcester at some point this year, according to
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the Leprechaun and our friend in New Hampshire, and we
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: haven't picked a date yet. The plan was to try
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: to get to a WU Socks game and throw out
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the first pitch. That was something that was big for
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Masshole Mickey or Mikey rather, who passed away a couple
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: of years. I guess it's been a couple of years now.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I don't have time fly, so we're looking at most
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: likely after maybe late April, early May, something along those lines.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing it'll be sometime in May. I don't know.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: It might not be then, it could be later on.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I'm waiting to hear back from the Leprechaun with some
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: possible dates. So that's that's the plan. We'll keep you
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: posting on that. Ryan and Dan here here you're juggling
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of things right with the kid and Covino
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: and Rich and all that, So it's a lot going on.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my schedule has been as you know, well, this
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: has been an ongoing thing where not only am I
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: juggling Coveno and Rich and having a new kid and
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: all that, but also I think during the mailbag somebody
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: asks a couple months back if I was going to
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: work for the school district again. The answer is yes.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I've been waking my ass up early every morning doing
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: a morning job, then going to the network doing that job,
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: and then doing podcasting on the weekend. So my schedule's
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: been you know, hey, it's radio, right, we have to
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: have like three or four bustles to survive in broadcasting.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: If you want to live in southern California and you
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: want to live well, you have to have at least
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: three jobs.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot going on, And for me, I
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: do the overnight show and then I'll usually go out
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: and bang my head against the wall for about an hour,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and then I'll come back and record the podcast, like
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: on Fridays. That's usually how that goes. I'll just come
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: back and just start yapping away. But it's yeah, with
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: your schedule working in the morning, we usually record this
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: in the morning, so it's a logistical logistical issue there.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: But you'll be as much as you can, right. We
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: che to get you on as much as as we
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: can get you on there, Yes.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Sir, And I'm going to be live from the super
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Bowl again, just like last year.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll be. We'll be doing some podcasts from Radio
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Row again. The Fifth Hour podcast will be live on
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: tape from Radio Row. I cannot wait. We had Emmett
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Smith on, we had Adrian Peak on the path, we
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: had some big names just hanging out at Radio Row.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: So I'm excited about that. Asking me be fun to.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Dude and Ben. With other parts of the country giving
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: like eleven feet of snow in two days, How lucky
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: are we this year that the Super bowls in California. Oh,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: it's great.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: It would have been nice though, if one of these
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: games played today was played in like a bank of snow,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: that would have been awesome to watch, just not to
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: go to, but to watch. But yeah, I've already heard
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: from my friends in Boston that the Boston guys are
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: complaining about the Super Bowl being in San Francisco because
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: the logistics Radio Row is in downtown San Francisco, and
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: then the game and the festivities are at the stadium,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: which is like an hour drive. So they're already complaining
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Danny about that. They haven't even gotten there and they're
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: already complaining about the logistics of that.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: You'll love this because you have the cheap skate moves
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: for Valentine's Day and celebrate after the holidays.
• 14:41

  Speaker 1: from Florida writes in he says, Hey, Ben and Danny,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: you had a game show caller named Scott on the
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Wednesday show. You kept saying Scott obviously, and it hurt
• 15:21

  Speaker 1: the one for me. Have you settled, Well, I didn't.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: I wasn't paying.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Were you settling on your most annoying Dan? A lot
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: of Dan's in sports when you think about it, Dan Levittar,
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Dan Patrick, Dan Byer, Dan Byer coach of line. Yeah,

• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I have a Satin Knight John On. Yeah, oh, there

• 17:56
  Speaker 1: old Dan Quayle, the Vice President of the United States.

  Speaker 3: Sure really smart. He was known for being a high
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: iq politician, exactly exactly.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who's the most embarrassing Dan? Though, I don't there's
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: some Dan Marino was awesome back in the day.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: He's old, but he was great. Now.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: That's not embarrassing. The greatest cartoon voiceover guy Dan Castellanata
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Homer Simpson, that's a Dan. I don't think of any
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: bad dance.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Any embarrassing ones.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. All right, thank you, Scott. Yeah, you
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: created some podcast conversation for that.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: We're great. Shouts out to Danny DeVito.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. Legend Alf from the bomb cyclone hitting
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the eastern Seaboards has greetings from the snowy Bay State Chairman.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: If you live in an area of the country that
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: had a snowy winter, would you shovel your property yourself
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: or would you hire someone to take care of it?
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: That's from Alf. What I would do is hire. I
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: would buy one of those really nice snowblowers, and I
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: think that would be fun. I don't know that I
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: want to hold a shovel like it's seventeen thirty seven,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. If I could get a
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: nice snow I would I would do that. In fact,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: that could be a good hustle, Danny during the snow
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: time you were, and we have guys that call the
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: overnight show that are seasonal workers that drive the snowplow
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: trucks and they're out there hustling. But I'm saying, just
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: cleaning people's property of snow, that would be a nice
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: little extra hustle for you. I mean, paid a decent
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: amount of money for doing that, I would think. But
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I would not use a shovel, alf. I would buy
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: one of those cool snowblower things at home, deeper or
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: lows or whatever, and that would be my move. So
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: what about you, Danny.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: I would hire some dumb kid from down the street.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Some dumb dumb dumb dumdumb dumb dumb.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I probably wouldn't be that dumb because me and
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: ten other neighbors. It's a hustle right there.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh. Fer Dog in Fullerton rights and he says,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: happy Conference championsh Sunday, Ben and Danny g Just like
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: nine years ago when the Clippers were on top of
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the Lakers and the Bus family were a mess, all
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: is right in the world once again. You love to
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: see it. As a fan of the people's team, Who
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: do you think got more of a raw deal. Roberto
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the bus driver who paid a king's ransom for Dodgers
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: World Series tickets to watch the Astros, or poor a
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: little Justin Cooper who flew halfway across the country to
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: watch the Broncos win just to learn his starting quarterback
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: is out for the rest of the playoffs immediately after
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the game. And yeah, that stuff. Can I get a copy,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: he says, of Lucky Tony's rendition of It's a hard
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Knock Life. It's the best thing I've heard in my life,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: says Fergdug. So Ferg's a big fan of that. I
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: like Lucky Tony singing the other song, which is much shorter,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: for he's a jolly good fellow, which nobody can.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: And then yeah, shorter is better with him.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so uh, I don't know who got it was.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I feel bad for Roberto because that was that was
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: just the Astros cheated and it was bull crap and
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: they baseball has no balls and they didn't take the
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: thing away, So I that one. I know he didn't
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: travel across by the way, is Denver halfway across the country, Danny,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I don't think it is right. No, here's I looked
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: it up just because for I was curious, what's halfway
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: across the country. So halfway between LA where we do
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the show from in Boston. The halfway point, Danny is Lincoln,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Lancaster County, Nebraska. So wow, Lincoln, Nebraska where the Cornhuskers plays.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Halfway between LA and Boston, it would it's fourteen one
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: hundred and ninety four miles, so one thousand, four hundred
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: ninety four miles from LA, and it's one thousand, four
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: hundred and ninety two miles from Boston. So that's there's
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: a fun that's a fun fact, Danny. That's a that's
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: a fun.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: That's good. That's good bar trivia.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: There you go, all right?
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Lucky Tony, speaking of the Devil as email shall appear, says,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: hey been in Danny g for five years. I've been
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: hearing Tom Looney being reverenced as a schmuck, and then
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: I see him on Benny Versus the Penny. He seems
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: all right, what am I missing? And is another Mike
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: North appearance coming soon? I would love to hear his
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: thoughts on the Bears season bars signed, Lucky Tony, I
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: do another appealing Looney's an asshole. Yeah, I don't. I
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: don't know about that. I mean Looney, Uh, Loudey's a character,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Luonny's Loudy's I've always got a well, I've known Looney
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: for a long time. He goes way back uh Loony
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Tunes and he's uh, he's a big personality guy, big talker,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: that whole thing. You know, he's got that going for him.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: So Looney, he's a he's a very nice guy. Yeah,
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: but I also worked with him. And when I worked
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: with him, I found out really quick that he was
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: always the smartest guy in the room.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Well, he has the answer to everything. It's great. You
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: should never take real estate advice from Tom Looney ever.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Ever.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Ever, I am still dealing with the fallout from that
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: that goes back now eighteen years, a decision that I
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: still regret to this day. And also personnel moves he'll
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: recommend certain people. The thing about Looney is he's your
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: typical LA guy, lucky Tony. He loves celebrity. I don't
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: really get that worked up by famous people. I don't
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: hate them, I just don't really. It doesn't do anything
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: for me because they're just normal people. When you pull
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: back all that stuff. But Looney loves celebrity.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: You are more excited by costco samples.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm excited about meeting the people that are
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: like famous in our show or whatever. But Looney, he
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: loves celebrities. He would go to the Whole Foods down
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: the street from the radio station in Sherman Oaks because
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: that's where all the celebrities would shop. They live up
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: in bel Air and they'd come down and shop for
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: their tomatoes or whatever. And Looney, oh yeah, I ran
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: into this back when Keith Jackson, the voice of college football,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: was alive. I ran it to Keith Jackson. He was
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: buying tomatoes, and then Looney would tell some story about
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: how you like, pretended like he was Keith Jackson doing
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: play by play as Keith as Keith was picking tomatoes
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: out stuff like that. He's not a bad guy. He's
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: an interesting character. That's all character.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: And he was very talented at doing updates and playing
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: drops and sound effects and all that. I miss his updates.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's updates. We you know, he's great. He
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: was great. I mean, there's a lot of people this
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: kind of coast. It's unfortunate they don't really put a
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: lot of work into it. They treat it like they're
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: working at the DMV, which is disappointing, you know, because
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I think we're a couple of old radio guys, right, Danny,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I think you should take advantage that.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: You should.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: You should try.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Oh dude, I always appreciated his creativity on the air.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: It does blow me away the amount of people that
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: just don't value that, like Looney always made it his
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: masterpiece and you should. And the people not naming any
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: there's some people who just don't give a crap and
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: you can tell by their work. It sucks. Kwang writes
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: in from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, A regular, he says,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: guaranteed human Big Ben and Daddy G Radio a future
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: topic of Baby Coa's Animal Thunderdome. A bloodhound can smell
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: a human from two hundred yards, a wolf from one mile,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: a bear from three miles, and a polar bear from
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: nine miles. Then he says, how far a head start
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: would you need to get to safety? That's from Quang
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: so I guess, Danny here, you're the Animal Thunderdome guy,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: So how far would you have to be to get
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: to safety? If a bloodhound can smell a human from
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: two hundred yards, a wolf from one mile, and a
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: bear from three miles, and a polar bear from nine miles.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: What would the answer be, Danny, what do you think?
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: And I wish I could tell you. Since I don't
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: do this Animal Thunderdome podcast, I have no answer. As
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: soon as that podcast begins, though, I will. I'll be
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: like Looney and have the answers to everything.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, cour well, Cole.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Is going to be doing it.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: You'll be too old.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's his department. Bro. In fact, lay Travis has
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: sent me three animal Thunderdome stories in the past two weeks.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: I'm sure that'll solve it. Why are you sending me
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: these stories? I have no idea, but I am currently
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: archiving them for CoA.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's good, will be classic stories. Well, he can
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: do a classic Thunderdome. You can go back.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: It's throw Back Thursday. I'm a Thunderdome. Let's go to
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: one of my dad's computer files.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what's a computer.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: You don't use it, so we download them to our
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: heads as what we did, Kwang and I would say
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: ten miles because you said the longest distance is nine miles,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: so then if you're ten miles away, you could get
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: to safety. I guess I don't know. I'll do a
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: couple more and get out. We have Reggie from Detroit.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Good to see Reggie's name in the email bag. He says,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: there's a new study that says kids are trying to
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: use books like phones in class. And then he says, guys,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: how could this possibly be true? That's Reggie from Detroit
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: and he sent me a story here Dan. It says
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: nearly a third of children our starting school unable to
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: use books properly, with some trying to swipe pages as
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: if they were smartphones or tablets.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, hey, Ben, I believe this. I totally
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: totally believe this because working at the middle school in
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: the morning, I am around these kids every day. Now,
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: the girls lately have been wearing ed Hardy sweats hold
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: down on their butts. No, no, And you remember that
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: ed Hardy brand.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah. These kids don't know anything about the past. You
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: don't know anything about the future.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Wow, that is that's how far back is that? That's
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: like twenty years at least, right.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Two thousand and six, two thousand and seven, it says
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: is when ed Hardy reached its peak. So I was
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: early wearing it before then, but two thousand and six
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: it reached its peak, so exactly twenty years Bam ben mallar.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Right, Well, I didn't didn't wear it, so I just guessed.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: I blindly guessed and I got it right.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: No, no shit, you didn't wear that. They don't sell
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: that at Costco.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: I'll sell my size easither. I think this guy's in Atlanta.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: He didn't give a city because he's an idiot. He
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: sent me this story. I sent this to Rob Parker
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: right away. There's Georgia. Lawmakers have introduced a bill that
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: will make lemon pepper the official chicken wing flavor in
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: the state of Georgia. And of course Rob Parker legendary
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: for going to the was it Magic City? Oh yeah, Atlanta,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: this famous strip club, and remember Lou Williams, Sweet Lou
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: left the bubble to go get a chicken wings at
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Magic City, the lemon pepper chicken wings. So it's appropriate
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: that that would be the flavor. Now, my wife claims
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: that that's just the most popular chicken wing flavor anyway,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: not just in Georgia. Do you think that's true, Danny,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: you think that's an accurate statement?
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: In my house, it's honey barbecue.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think honey barbecue's more nationally more popular than
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: lemon pepper.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: I would agree. I think lemon pepper maybe is third
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: after traditional buffalo. Yeah. I would go honey barbecue, traditional buffalo,
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: and then Lou Sweet Lou.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I did send that story to our friend Rob Parker,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: and he did. He said he would approve that, so
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: he gave the old fun You gotta have the bones, dude.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: He loves Magic City so much that every Monday on
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: their show The Odd Couple, they call it Magic City Monday.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, free advertising for.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: And they play stripper music as they're bumps.
