- 1:28Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure your son's going to spoil you with
- 1:30Speaker 1: all kinds of all kinds of fun.
- 1:32Speaker 3: Yes, he'll scribble on a piece of paper and Brenda
- 1:35Speaker 3: will give it to me and be like, here's your
- 1:37Speaker 3: Father's Day, current, your dirty animal.
- 1:40Speaker 1: And the way it goes. That's the way it goes,
- 1:43Speaker 1: all right. So we have the mail bag. We have
- 1:45Speaker 1: a lot of letters. Happy Father's Day if you're into
- 1:47Speaker 1: that kind of thing and all that stuff. But why
- 1:50Speaker 1: not celebrate whatever you got? Here we go, let's Ohio
- 1:53Speaker 1: get a starter here, Ohio. It's all right, very good.
- 2:10Speaker 1: First one is from Fergdog, who says, hey, Ben and
- 2:13Speaker 1: Danny G. I think I stupidly missed the window for
- 2:17Speaker 1: last week's mailbag, so I'm sending the question in again.
- 2:20Speaker 1: I loved all the classic clips and drops two weeks ago.
- 2:23Speaker 1: You did a great job, Danny G. You deserve a raise,
- 2:26Speaker 1: just like Donald Trump said. Now, I've got a question
- 2:30Speaker 1: about one of the clips, in particular, what the hell
- 2:32Speaker 1: happened during the Brian Billick interview? Was Ben saying hello
- 2:37Speaker 1: over and over again unedited audio. Brian Billick's the greatest
- 2:42Speaker 1: get in the history of the Fifth Hour podcast. And
- 2:45Speaker 1: I'm going to be very disappointed if I find out
- 2:48Speaker 1: he cut Ben's time short. That is from ferg Dog
- 2:54Speaker 1: in Fullerton.
- 2:54Speaker 3: That was classic. Now, there are times where you'll be
- 2:58Speaker 3: doing an interview and the guests will cut out and
- 3:01Speaker 3: then there's a long pause in the recording because you
- 3:04Speaker 3: have to work to get them back on the phone.
- 3:07Speaker 3: How ironic was it that Brian did this to you?
- 3:11Speaker 3: It's you going Hello, Hello, and then redial to see
- 3:18Speaker 3: what happened to this guy? And then you hear Billick's voicemail.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Come on, Brian, Billy, I'm not available, so you save
- 3:25Speaker 1: the message.
- 3:26Speaker 3: So it's just classic. Nobody ever heard it in its
- 3:29Speaker 3: raw form, because obviously I fixed it so that his
- 3:33Speaker 3: interview was all one piece and you didn't even know
- 3:35Speaker 3: that that happened. But on that best of I thought
- 3:38Speaker 3: it would be really funny.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Yeah Billick, I think he called us from like northern Minnesota.
- 3:45Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's the start of the interview. Is you
- 3:47Speaker 3: guys talking about Minnesota.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember, remember that. There have been
- 3:52Speaker 1: some crazy things. The late great Jerry Tarkanian had Tarkanian
- 3:57Speaker 1: on I was doing an interview with Tarkanian at Fox Sports.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Rated was on the radio and Tarkanian was in the
- 4:03Speaker 1: back of a van playing with his grandkids. And I
- 4:07Speaker 1: don't know why he agreed to do the interview, Like,
- 4:09Speaker 1: I get it, you're with your grandkids, but you agreed
- 4:10Speaker 1: to do the interview. And he was totally totally distracted
- 4:14Speaker 1: the whole time, like he was like happened. We interviewed
- 4:18Speaker 1: Kareem Abdul Jabbarmi and Looney one time and Kareem was
- 4:22Speaker 1: eating a sandwich the entire interview and he was chewing
- 4:25Speaker 1: very loudly during the interview and it was very annoying.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Jackie Slater, we had Jackie Slater on this podcast. I
- 4:33Speaker 1: love Jackie. What in the world?
- 4:36Speaker 3: And Jackie, do you think Kareem was scratching his cheek
- 4:40Speaker 3: with his middle finger the whole time he was talking
- 4:42Speaker 3: to you?
- 4:43Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you can just tell when guys are disengaged.
- 4:46Speaker 1: And yeah, you know when people are into it and
- 4:49Speaker 1: who are not into it, and sometimes they're acting.
- 4:52Speaker 3: Why did kareem need to be on the phone with
- 4:54Speaker 3: you if he didn't want.
- 4:55Speaker 1: To be there, Well, he was doing a tour promoting
- 4:58Speaker 1: a documentary, so he had agreed to do you know
- 5:02Speaker 1: those those car washed things where you go around and
- 5:05Speaker 1: do a bunch of interviews. So we were probably number
- 5:08Speaker 1: six or seven and he had like seven more to go,
- 5:11Speaker 1: and he wasn't into it, and he's just kind of
- 5:14Speaker 1: half asked it. Then you get the other people that
- 5:16Speaker 1: are like robotic, unus you were white. He didn't like
- 5:19Speaker 1: that hello allegedly, yeah, exactly. The other thing we had
- 5:26Speaker 1: I forget was it Tim Donnie. I think it might
- 5:28Speaker 1: have been Tim Donnie. We had on and he was
- 5:31Speaker 1: very very robotic, like he had all his answers and
- 5:36Speaker 1: he was just like reading off a teleprompter, which was
- 5:38Speaker 1: very very I you know, one's got their own their
- 5:42Speaker 1: own deal. And that's why ferk Dog, you're not supposed
- 5:45Speaker 1: to see how we make the hot dogs. You're not
- 5:47Speaker 1: supposed to see how we make the hot dogs. Next
- 5:50Speaker 1: up is Kwang from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. He says,
- 5:54Speaker 1: writes us. Every week, he says Big Man and Daddy
- 5:56Speaker 1: G Radio. There are rumors and speculations surrounding the possibility
- 6:01Speaker 1: of a new Voltron project, especially with the continued success
- 6:06Speaker 1: of reboots and adaptations of classic animated series. Question, how
- 6:12Speaker 1: likely is it that the two of you could be
- 6:14Speaker 1: cast and a live action adaptation of that project? So
- 6:20Speaker 1: he would like us the new Voltron, Danny, would you be?
- 6:24Speaker 1: I'd be willing if the price is right to be
- 6:26Speaker 1: part of that, right, if the check is big enough?
- 6:29Speaker 3: What kind of money you're talking?
- 6:30Speaker 1: Well, Kwang's already put our photos into AI, it appears,
- 6:35Speaker 1: and he has already put our bodies or our faces
- 6:38Speaker 1: on the bodies of the characters in the in the film,
- 6:43Speaker 1: So he's already done the legwork. I don't know if
- 6:45Speaker 1: I can send this to you now.
- 6:46Speaker 3: Let me see if I can.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Well say, I click this, you listen to our live coverage.

- 7:22Speaker 1: So you're a lion, and you've got your glasses on,
- 7:27Speaker 1: you got the hat.
- 7:28Speaker 3: This is well done, but it also looks like somebody
- 7:31Speaker 3: who has way too much free time on their hands.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Are you saying there's not much going on in Quang's world?
- 7:35Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying?
- 7:36Speaker 3: You are you claiming said?
- 7:39Speaker 1: Well, you know, I'm honored that he loves us so
- 7:42Speaker 1: much he wants us to be part of the live
- 7:44Speaker 1: action adaptation. And as we always say, Danny, we are
- 7:48Speaker 1: our ears are open. If somebody wants to throw it,
- 7:51Speaker 1: throw an offer our way, we are We're willing to listen.
- 7:55Speaker 1: We are more than willing to listen to any any offers.
- 7:58Speaker 1: Shane from Leesburg, Alabama, Amma, rites into the fifth hour
- 8:01Speaker 1: podcast Sane, thank You. He says, have either one of
- 8:04Speaker 1: you ever actually paid for something with a two dollar bill?
- 8:08Speaker 1: And then he says backstory and a true story. He says,
- 8:12Speaker 1: I heard your podcast years ago when you said your
- 8:14Speaker 1: dad had an infatuation with the two dollar bill. My
- 8:18Speaker 1: dad had the same thing. Look at that we have
- 8:19Speaker 1: somebody in common, Shane, and he was always passing out
- 8:23Speaker 1: two dollar bills until he passed away in twenty eighteen.
- 8:27Speaker 1: He always said, keep one in your wallet just in
- 8:31Speaker 1: case you need it. Well, in nineteen eighty six, I
- 8:34Speaker 1: just turned sixteen and I stopped to get gas when
- 8:38Speaker 1: you could actually pump your gas before you went to
- 8:41Speaker 1: the store to pay for it. And I started pumping gas,
- 8:44Speaker 1: Shane says, when I realized the only money I had
- 8:49Speaker 1: was a single two dollar bill, hid it in my wallet.
- 8:52Speaker 1: So that's that's what I pumped, and I went inside paid.
- 8:56Speaker 3: For You was gas like thirty cents a gallon back then, well, he.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Says, here gas was around seventy nine cents a gallon
- 9:03Speaker 1: in eighty six, can you imagine? And then so I
- 9:08Speaker 1: had more than enough to get me where I needed
- 9:10Speaker 1: to go. And he says, Happy Father's Day. All the
- 9:13Speaker 1: days I have not, I've not paid for anything with
- 9:16Speaker 1: a two dollar bill my dad did. He would have
- 9:20Speaker 1: the biggest smile telling the story, Oh yeah, I gave
- 9:23Speaker 1: this to this young lady and I gave her the
- 9:25Speaker 1: two dollar bill. She thought it was fake. You know,
- 9:28Speaker 1: you get the whole story. My dad wud be oh, yeah,
- 9:30Speaker 1: she thought it was counterfeit. There's no such thing as
- 9:32Speaker 1: a two dollar bill. And then I had to expinb
- 9:34Speaker 1: my dad would like pump his chest out. I had
- 9:36Speaker 1: to explain to that young lady there were two dollar bills.
- 9:39Speaker 1: It was the funniest thing. And then when my dad passed,
- 9:43Speaker 1: I think you're referring to the story Shane, that he
- 9:45Speaker 1: we had a stack of like two dollar bills and
- 9:49Speaker 1: there that was your inheritance pretty much, pretty much. And pennies.
- 9:53Speaker 1: My dad collected pennies, which I wish he had collected quarters,
- 9:57Speaker 1: not pennies. Quarters would have been much better than pennies.
- 10:00Speaker 1: But dad, which is ironic because I did the TV
- 10:02Speaker 1: show Benny Versus the Penny, and then my dad collected pennies.
- 10:05Speaker 1: And the problem with pennies is you have these giant
- 10:09Speaker 1: gallon containers of pennies and it gets you like, you know,
- 10:12Speaker 1: fifteen bucks or something. You know, somebody take you some
- 10:15Speaker 1: small amount of money. But that's a great story, Shane,
- 10:17Speaker 1: about your dad and the two dollars bill and you
- 10:20Speaker 1: and the gas station. Very cool alf from a peaceful protest, right,
- 10:25Speaker 1: So he says, gentlemen, do me a favor and please
- 10:29Speaker 1: put on your tinfoil hats for my question. Do you
- 10:33Speaker 1: think that the weed Man West contingent figured out that
- 10:38Speaker 1: Ice is conspiring with the Olympic Committee to clean up
- 10:43Speaker 1: LA for the twenty twenty eight Summer Games and decided
- 10:47Speaker 1: to protest peacefully? So that's that's alf. Do you have
- 10:53Speaker 1: your tinfoil hat on there, Danny? That the operations here
- 10:58Speaker 1: to clean up well LA will be very clean by
- 11:00Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight, right summer games. It'll be sparkling and
- 11:05Speaker 1: everything would be wonderful, and it's gonna take them about
- 11:09Speaker 1: two and a half years to clean up all the
- 11:12Speaker 1: the mess that has happened here recently, so they've they're
- 11:14Speaker 1: gonna have to start working on that right away, Danny,
- 11:16Speaker 1: clean up LA, all the graffiti and all that stuff.
- 11:19Speaker 1: Did you see the video somebody sent me a video. God,
- 11:22Speaker 1: so funny one of these these dopes that was tagging,
- 11:28Speaker 1: you know, going around these kids, they're all teenagers going
- 11:30Speaker 1: around tagging buildings, and one kid was trying to write,
- 11:33Speaker 1: you know, f Ice, spell it out. He misspelled the
- 11:38Speaker 1: F word. He didn't know how to spell the F word,
- 11:42Speaker 1: and so yeah, he spelled it f U E and
- 11:47Speaker 1: then and then realized. And then there was some girl,
- 11:50Speaker 1: this other young girl, I don't know, she's probably around
- 11:53Speaker 1: his age, and she was laughing at him. So the
- 11:55Speaker 1: guy was probably this guy's probably like tagging buildings thing.
- 11:58Speaker 1: He's gonna get chicks, right, you know, women into it?
- 12:00Speaker 1: Your bad boy and all that. And the guy didn't
- 12:02Speaker 1: even not spell the F word, Like, what are you doing, dude?
- 12:06Speaker 1: I mean, now you dumb?
- 12:08Speaker 3: You want better tinfoil hat content. I went down a
- 12:12Speaker 3: rabbit hole last weekend. There's like this nostalgia page on Facebook.
- 12:17Speaker 3: It's like a Facebook group, and somebody wrote what's a
- 12:20Speaker 3: conspiracy that you actually believe? And I clicked on the
- 12:24Speaker 3: comments and it was gold hundreds of alex tysherts talking
- 12:28Speaker 3: to each other.
- 12:32Speaker 1: Were they at work or at home? They must have
- 12:34Speaker 1: been at home.
- 12:36Speaker 3: This one says that they believe not teaching handwriting cursive
- 12:41Speaker 3: in school is intentional so that we all will have
- 12:45Speaker 3: an entire population that cannot read the US Constitution or
- 12:49Speaker 3: the Declaration of Independence. No generations after the early millennials
- 12:54Speaker 3: have been taught. If you're unable to read your rights,
- 12:57Speaker 3: you're able to be manipulated in control. Do do do
- 13:01Speaker 3: do do do do? That's yeah, yeah, that's why Cursive's
- 13:04Speaker 3: not being taught anymore.
- 13:06Speaker 1: That explains it right there.
- 13:08Speaker 3: According to Amy Surr on Facebook.
- 13:11Speaker 1: Well my conspiracy and I will I will die on
- 13:15Speaker 1: this mountain is that the night the lights went out
- 13:18Speaker 1: at Camden Yards in Baltimore, when cal Ripken was supposed
- 13:22Speaker 1: to play in a game against the Seattle Mariners, they
- 13:25Speaker 1: turned the lights out because cal Ripken got into a
- 13:28Speaker 1: situation with Kevin Costner. I believe that to be true.
- 13:33Speaker 3: I've heard that story.
- 13:34Speaker 1: I don't care what Sports with Coleman says in Baltimore
- 13:37Speaker 1: or not. In fact, Kevin Costner called in to Fox
- 13:40Speaker 1: Sports Radio. There was a guy shownamed Kylie and Booms
- 13:43Speaker 1: that talked about that, and Costner called in to say
- 13:45Speaker 1: it wasn't true, which tells me it means it probably
- 13:49Speaker 1: is true exactly. And the reason I really believe that
- 13:52Speaker 1: to be true is I was on the Dodger beat
- 13:54Speaker 1: at that that night, and a buddy of mine who
- 13:59Speaker 1: may or may not been connected to the Orioles, came
- 14:02Speaker 1: up to me and said, hey, you're not going to
- 14:04Speaker 1: believe this. They canceled the Orioles game. And here's why
- 14:10Speaker 1: Now he didn't get in all the details. He just
- 14:12Speaker 1: said that Ripkin there was something. There was a domestic
- 14:14Speaker 1: situation at Ripkin's house. I didn't find out about the
- 14:18Speaker 1: Coster thing until later, so that part I didn't know about.
- 14:21Speaker 1: But they said there was a domestic thing, and he
- 14:23Speaker 1: was he was so upset. Costner he didn't want to
- 14:26Speaker 1: play in the game that night or and he said
- 14:29Speaker 1: he couldn't do it. And so they said, we need
- 14:31Speaker 1: you know, We're going to cancel the game, give you
- 14:33Speaker 1: a day to kind of clear your mind and then
- 14:35Speaker 1: come back and play. And uh, where there's smoke, there's fire. Yeah,
- 14:39Speaker 1: I believe that one.
- 14:40Speaker 3: By the way, really quick. Dan Delano on Facebook, this
- 14:44Speaker 3: sounds like something you would have wrote in this group.
- 14:47Speaker 3: He says, there's a secret society underneath the Denver International Airport.
- 14:53Speaker 1: That's good. Now, some of our listeners live in Denver
- 14:58Speaker 1: and some of them work at the airport there. We
- 15:00Speaker 1: should have to ask them.
- 15:02Speaker 3: Now.
- 15:02Speaker 1: My theory, Danny member, My theory is there are sub
- 15:07Speaker 1: under the ocean. Under the sea, there are different species,
- 15:11Speaker 1: different creatures that live under the ocean, and they come
- 15:14Speaker 1: out and they study us. You know how we study
- 15:16Speaker 1: animals in the wild. Were there animals and they study
- 15:20Speaker 1: us and they're like, look at these weird creatures. Yeah,
- 15:24Speaker 1: that's my tinfoil hat thing. Tony in the Bay Area,
- 15:27Speaker 1: right said, Tony's one of my favorite callers. I just
- 15:29Speaker 1: love this guy. He's such a such a character. Tony says.
- 15:32Speaker 1: I'm not trying to plug nothing except Alexa at Riddell.
- 15:36Speaker 1: But I heard the Covino and Rich podcast and it
- 15:39Speaker 1: sounds good and cool that Danny g gets on the mic.
- 15:42Speaker 1: How long have you been on there, Danny says Tony.
- 15:47Speaker 1: I guess Tony doesn't listen to this pocket. You've been
- 15:49Speaker 1: on there for forever, right, Dannyman that show since it started, right,
- 15:52Speaker 1: You've been with those guys.
- 15:53Speaker 3: Yeah. So I've been doing the shows with the guys
- 15:56Speaker 3: for four years now, one year on Sunday nights and
- 16:00Speaker 3: three years now on PM Drive.
- 16:02Speaker 1: Has it been three years since they went to the weekday.
- 16:05Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, they're about to celebrate their third birthday in
- 16:08Speaker 3: that time slot.
- 16:09Speaker 1: I liked that Covino Rich celebrate anniversaries. I don't celebrate anniversaries.
- 16:13Speaker 1: I don't I don't pay attention to it. Like I
- 16:16Speaker 1: don't know. I've been at Fox Sports Radio with the
- 16:18Speaker 1: exception of six months and twenty six days. I'm coming
- 16:21Speaker 1: up on like twenty five years. I don't pay any
- 16:24Speaker 1: attention to that though, like I've missed. I could have
- 16:27Speaker 1: done like a tenth anniversary, a fifteenth anniversary, twenty I don't.
- 16:32Speaker 3: I know, that's probably why you're a grown up at three.
- 16:34Speaker 3: You're still an infant, right, But he did just that joke,
- 16:38Speaker 3: where after your twenty first birthday, why even you know,
- 16:41Speaker 3: why even pay attention to the ones that come after that?
- 16:44Speaker 1: Well, somebody had mentioned and I didn't use this in
- 16:48Speaker 1: the mailbag, but somebody said, hey, you know, Covino rich
- 16:50Speaker 1: are having this thing. Why didn't you do something? You know,
- 16:52Speaker 1: I'm a fan, you know. The guy was like, I
- 16:54Speaker 1: heard Covin or Richard doing something for their anniversary, like
- 16:57Speaker 1: twenty years or whatever they've been together on the radio,
- 17:00Speaker 1: and so the guys, I, why didn't you do that?
- 17:03Speaker 1: I was like, that's actually a good point. I probably
- 17:05Speaker 1: should have done something, but I you know, I didn't
- 17:07Speaker 1: think of it, So I don't know.
- 17:09Speaker 3: Yeah, when you turn twenty obviously, you know a lot
- 17:12Speaker 3: of the years they were together was on Sirius XM.
- 17:15Speaker 3: But as far as their time on FSR, their babies,
- 17:19Speaker 3: their infants, and you're like a grandpappy.
- 17:22Speaker 1: Well, I'm a seasoned veteran. I stopped aging about year ten,
- 17:25Speaker 1: So that's.
- 17:26Speaker 3: Also you started on the network when you were like
- 17:29Speaker 3: seventeen and a half.
- 17:30Speaker 1: That is true. There was no one listening and it
- 17:32Speaker 1: was great and it was cowboy jobs.
- 17:34Speaker 3: Voice hadn't changed yet.
- 17:36Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. There, Royals having
- 17:39Speaker 1: their problems on the road. I'm Ben Mallick. The Royals
- 17:43Speaker 1: are having their problems. Yeah, we haven't heard that in
- 17:47Speaker 1: a while. Loraina doesn't know any of those.
- 17:50Speaker 3: He has no idea what that is.
- 17:51Speaker 1: Completely clueless about a lot. Kevin and Kansas right, since
- 17:55Speaker 1: says near Ben and Danny g So. I attended two
- 17:59Speaker 1: concerts in Denver this past week. Kevin says, I made
- 18:04Speaker 1: it a goal to try the Ben Mallard chicken sandwich
- 18:08Speaker 1: at the Sportsbook Bar and Grill. Oh yeah, yeah it was.
- 18:12Speaker 1: It was egg dip, that sucker and ranch. Watch your mouth.
- 18:17Speaker 1: It was every bit as tasty as you've announced. A
- 18:20Speaker 1: shout out to my server Anna. She even picked out
- 18:24Speaker 1: the salad dressing of vinaigrette and ranch. Oh my god.
- 18:29Speaker 3: Uh, there you go.
- 18:31Speaker 1: You have to ask for this item, but it's worth it.
- 18:34Speaker 2: Uh.
- 18:35Speaker 1: And then Danny g what food item would you like
- 18:38Speaker 1: named after you?
- 18:39Speaker 3: Danny?
- 18:39Speaker 1: If they if the sportsbook Bar and Grill wants to
- 18:41Speaker 1: add a Danny g themed dish there in the greater
- 18:45Speaker 1: Denver area, what would you like to have named after you?
- 18:49Speaker 3: Well, being part of the Gara Delli Empire, it would
- 18:53Speaker 3: have to be a.
- 18:53Speaker 1: Dessert, some kind of desert. You know, what's your foot?
- 18:57Speaker 1: Definitely a dessert dish. Favorite dessert rembrew lay. I think
- 19:01Speaker 1: I was like in my twenties the first time I
- 19:03Speaker 1: tried it. I really love this rich people dessert. I
- 19:06Speaker 1: don't know that I've ever had krimble.
- 19:08Speaker 3: What isn't had crim brewlay. They torch and they crystallize
- 19:12Speaker 3: the top and it's like it's like a really fancy cuss.
- 19:17Speaker 3: What can I compare it to? Have you ever had flawn?
- 19:20Speaker 1: Yes? I have had flun like the Mexican's like a.
- 19:22Speaker 3: Very fancy flawn with like a caramelized top to it.
- 19:27Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think I've ever had that? What you
- 19:32Speaker 1: high falutin, Danny g.
- 19:33Speaker 3: Man, I would do a flawn. I'd do Danny G's flawn.
- 19:36Speaker 1: Now it's got to be rhythmic though. That doesn't that
- 19:38Speaker 1: doesn't work. You gotta do something data.
- 19:41Speaker 3: Yeah, right, but we'd have to figure out a way
- 19:43Speaker 3: to pimp down at the title.
- 19:45Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll work on it. But thank you, Kevin. Yeah,
- 19:48Speaker 1: I really need to promote the the bed Mallard chicken
- 19:51Speaker 1: sandwich at the Sportsbook Bar and grill more because we
- 19:54Speaker 1: promote the hell out of the chicken fingers at the
- 19:56Speaker 1: Landing in Kansas City. And I've been very lucky. I
- 20:00Speaker 1: don't win any rewards. You know, nobody the company knows
- 20:02Speaker 1: who the hell I am. And the one thing I
- 20:05Speaker 1: have been rewarded with is food items named after me,
- 20:09Speaker 1: like in Kansas City and in Denver and in Lawrence,
- 20:12Speaker 1: Kansas at the bird Really cool. And then there's still space.
- 20:17Speaker 1: By the way, Danny, I'd love a Mallard pizza. We
- 20:20Speaker 1: had that briefly in Vancouver. We had that in Michigan
- 20:26Speaker 1: in the town the town Floyd Mayweather's from I forget,
- 20:29Speaker 1: but it was Grand Rapids. I think Grand Rapids. Anyway,
- 20:32Speaker 1: we had we had the pizza named after me, A
- 20:35Speaker 1: Mallardy surprisingly on top of it fake news and Mallard Burger.
- 20:42Speaker 1: So if you're interested, if you're I really want to
- 20:45Speaker 1: support mom and pop businesses. I'm kind of proud of
- 20:48Speaker 1: it because the Landing's owned by a couple of buddies
- 20:51Speaker 1: in Kansas City, and you know, the sportsbook bar in
- 20:54Speaker 1: Grill is a family run operation in Denver, and so
- 20:58Speaker 1: I really want to support a good local restaurant. If
- 21:02Speaker 1: you're interested in that, I don't. I can't guarantee I'll
- 21:05Speaker 1: get many people to come in, but I will do
- 21:07Speaker 1: my best. You know, I'm not getting paid for this
- 21:09Speaker 1: to promote, but you know, I'll just store that out
- 21:11Speaker 1: there if you're interested, and you can reach out to me.
- 21:14Speaker 1: Real fifth hour at gmail dot com. Real fifth hour
- 21:17Speaker 1: at gmail dot com. Put food in the headline there,
- 21:20Speaker 1: so I know I know you're into it. And the
- 21:23Speaker 1: rule is Danny, as I've said, the name has to
- 21:26Speaker 1: be on the menu. You can't just say hey, if
- 21:29Speaker 1: somebody asks for it, because then it's to me, it's
- 21:32Speaker 1: not real, you know what I mean. Danny's got to
- 21:34Speaker 1: be on the he's gotta be legit. And then if
- 21:36Speaker 1: once it's on the menu, then we can you know,
- 21:38Speaker 1: promote it and get moving. Man Matt and Alf and
- 21:42Speaker 1: fird Dog and the gang to go and Blind Scott
- 21:45Speaker 1: and all them to go. Next up is Paul from Cleveland, Ohio.
- 21:49Speaker 1: Paul says, last Weekend on the Fifth Hour, I don't
- 21:53Speaker 1: think Paul's reached out, he says, I don't think we're
- 21:54Speaker 1: from Paul before. He's a newbie. He says, last Weekend
- 21:57Speaker 1: on the fifth Hour, you talked about the VCR for
- 22:00Speaker 1: a bit. Now, that brought to mind a quick story.
- 22:02Speaker 1: In the late nineteen eighties, my wife and I took
- 22:05Speaker 1: a trip to from Cleveland down to Tennessee for a short,
- 22:09Speaker 1: short vacation. And Paul says, first we went to Nashville
- 22:14Speaker 1: and while there we visited the Hermitage. Is that how
- 22:20Speaker 1: you say it? I think I'm saying that right. It
- 22:21Speaker 1: was the seventh President, Andrew Jackson's estate. Okay, so it
- 22:26Speaker 1: was his estate. He was born in seventeen sixty seven.
- 22:30Speaker 1: While we walked around, we kept saying, man, this stuff
- 22:33Speaker 1: is old. How can you survive like this? It was
- 22:37Speaker 1: an eye opening experience. We left Nashville, Paul says, went
- 22:40Speaker 1: to Memphis to visit Graceland, and he says, now, mind you,
- 22:45Speaker 1: we are a couple of snot know's twenty somethings walking
- 22:48Speaker 1: around the untouched original Elvis mansion. We arrived in his
- 22:54Speaker 1: entertainment room and we see his TV and his VCR.
- 22:58Speaker 1: Our first reaction is what the and he Paul goes on.
- 23:02Speaker 1: He says, our stereo and VCR are are better than
- 23:05Speaker 1: this his crap, And you know he's ranting about that
- 23:09Speaker 1: and all this stuff. He says, we thought old Hickory
- 23:11Speaker 1: Andrew Jackson stuff was more modern than the King Elvis.
- 23:16Speaker 1: But then while driving home, we realized that VCR Elvis,
- 23:20Speaker 1: the VCR Elvis had back in the nineteen sixties, no
- 23:23Speaker 1: one had that his stereo TV. The he goes through
- 23:29Speaker 1: all this stuff here, all years ahead of the time.
- 23:31Speaker 1: That guy truly had the coolest stuff and lived better
- 23:35Speaker 1: than old Andrew Jackson. I guess it's all about perspective. Anyway,
- 23:38Speaker 1: my question, Paul says, get to the point.
- 23:40Speaker 3: Please.
- 23:41Speaker 1: He says, I just finished buying tickets to the Wednesday
- 23:44Speaker 1: afternoon Guardians game, and I filled out an all Star
- 23:48Speaker 1: ballot times five, the daily allowance for voting, which triggered
- 23:53Speaker 1: the memory of going to the Indians games. I can
- 23:57Speaker 1: call the team the Indians, right, Yes, you can. Going
- 23:59Speaker 1: to the Indians games with my dad and brothers in
- 24:02Speaker 1: getting snacks, stacks of paper ballots and punching like crazy
- 24:07Speaker 1: for the horrible players the Indians had back then.
- 24:11Speaker 3: I just I remember the paper ballots when we were kids.
- 24:14Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I just checked and it's ten years since
- 24:17Speaker 1: the last paper ballot. The question is, did you guys
- 24:19Speaker 1: used to vote like a madman when you were young
- 24:23Speaker 1: and went to a game. Do you have any cool
- 24:25Speaker 1: memories of punching those old ballots? Now that I'm going
- 24:29Speaker 1: to the game this week, I guess I kind of
- 24:31Speaker 1: miss it. Nostalgia, Augia of it. There you go. He's
- 24:35Speaker 1: a fan of the show.
- 24:36Speaker 3: I was like in first grade in one of my
- 24:38Speaker 3: first Dodger Stadium memories, Pedro Guerrero, Patro Guerrero, Pedro Guerrero,
- 24:44Speaker 3: over and over.
- 24:44Speaker 1: And Paul's hoping to see us at the Malor meet
- 24:48Speaker 1: Great in Ohio. We're still waiting, Paul. I'm waiting to
- 24:50Speaker 1: hear back from NBC. I cannot make any travel plans
- 24:53Speaker 1: until I know what's going to happen with the TV show.
- 24:57Speaker 1: Hopefully they'll bring the show back and then I can
- 24:59Speaker 1: kind of plan my my trip and hopefully visit Ohio.
- 25:03Speaker 1: But I'm at the mercy of them and they're they're
- 25:05Speaker 1: taking their time. So but no, Dan I have. I
- 25:08Speaker 1: had a buddy of mine I used to go. I
- 25:10Speaker 1: lived near the Big A and Anaheim when I was
- 25:12Speaker 1: growing up, so I'd go to those games a lot
- 25:14Speaker 1: more than Dodgery games, and we would hang out get autographs.
- 25:20Speaker 1: We we were like a gang, an autograph gang, and
- 25:22Speaker 1: we'd sneak into the Big A. We knew how to
- 25:25Speaker 1: sneak into the stadium sometimes and uh in these days
- 25:28Speaker 1: before security cameras and all that. But one of my
- 25:32Speaker 1: buddies was such a degenerate. With the All Star ballots,
- 25:36Speaker 1: he got a piece of wood, just like regular piece
- 25:39Speaker 1: of wood, and he had hammered nails. You know those
- 25:44Speaker 1: long nails. I think the wood the wood nails.
- 25:48Speaker 3: Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
- 25:50Speaker 1: He had hammered them in to line up with the
- 25:52Speaker 1: All Star ballot.
- 25:54Speaker 3: Wow.
- 25:55Speaker 1: So he'd take a stack, Paul, you'll appreciate this too.
- 25:59Speaker 1: He'd take us stag of ballots. He'd open them up
- 26:03Speaker 1: and put them over the nails for the players that
- 26:06Speaker 1: he wanted they weren't all angel players, by the way.
- 26:08Speaker 1: He liked other players, but he put the ballot over
- 26:11Speaker 1: a stack of them. So he was doing twenty five
- 26:16Speaker 1: ballots at a time, and it was we were.
- 26:20Speaker 3: You bet we couldn't do that with arbitron ratings diaries.
- 26:23Speaker 1: I know, right, yeah, yeah, but I still remember that guy.
- 26:26Speaker 1: I don't happened to him. I haven't seen him, probably
- 26:29Speaker 1: in thirty five, forty years or whatever, maybe longer than that.
- 26:33Speaker 1: But this dude was the master.
- 26:36Speaker 3: And oh, I'm sure he's in prison right now, probably
- 26:39Speaker 3: probably if he was masterminding things like that at that age,
- 26:43Speaker 3: can you imagine?
- 26:45Speaker 1: Yeah, that was so creative, Like I couldn't. We were
- 26:47Speaker 1: all like, wow, dude, because we were up there, we
- 26:50Speaker 1: were doing the and we had to remember the chad,
- 26:52Speaker 1: the hanging chads, which were famous during the presidential election
- 26:56Speaker 1: between was that Bush and uh yeah, yeah, well whoever?
- 27:00Speaker 1: So anyway, that was my all star story. But that's great,
- 27:05Speaker 1: Paul appreciate that. Barry in South Carolina, right said, well,
- 27:08Speaker 1: do a couple more quickly, says heard the podcast of
- 27:13Speaker 1: The Normal Show honored I got a shout out, Barry.
- 27:17Speaker 1: That was not a shout out That was a mention,
- 27:19Speaker 1: not a shout out. It was a mention. What else
- 27:22Speaker 1: do we have here? Reggie from Detroit says, Ben, what
- 27:27Speaker 1: do you upset with? Reggie? This is Ben and Danny g.
- 27:30Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts on the story that
- 27:32Speaker 1: was reporter this week that said that Area fifty one
- 27:37Speaker 1: the US government was sending out fake stories about UFOs
- 27:43Speaker 1: because they were trying to hide classified weapon programs that
- 27:46Speaker 1: they were testing in the Nevada Desert. That's from Reggie.
- 27:50Speaker 3: He wants to know.
- 27:51Speaker 1: He says the Pentagon was behind that. Here's why I
- 27:55Speaker 1: think there's a combination of things. I'm sure the government
- 28:00Speaker 1: has like ridiculous stuff. I tend to think a lot
- 28:04Speaker 1: of it came from alien technology. That's my tinfoil hat thing.
- 28:11Speaker 3: So yeah, so do you think Elvis had early alien technology?
- 28:16Speaker 1: Well, clearly, come on, man, he sang a song about
- 28:19Speaker 1: Vegas right back in the day.
- 28:21Speaker 3: But you know, yeah, and he had a VCR in
- 28:23Speaker 3: the sixties.
- 28:25Speaker 1: Yeah. No, George Washington actually had Wi Fi? Did you
- 28:29Speaker 1: know that? In Wi Fi?
- 28:30Speaker 3: How about have you seen that picture of somebody at
- 28:33Speaker 3: a boxing match? This is way back in the day,
- 28:35Speaker 3: but it looks like they're holding an iPhone. Oh I have.
- 28:39Speaker 1: I don't know if it was a boxing match, but
- 28:40Speaker 1: I have seen photos they claim people are holding iPhones.
- 28:43Speaker 3: Its time travel is real?
- 28:45Speaker 1: Yeah, why not?
- 28:46Speaker 3: That's proof?
- 28:47Speaker 1: Well yeah, if you saw a photo on the internet,
- 28:50Speaker 1: it's obviously obviously proof. Oh here, this is a good
- 28:55Speaker 1: one from Is it Carl? I think it's Carl from
- 28:59Speaker 1: Orange from the O season Tustin. He says science Ben
- 29:04Speaker 1: and Danny g has proven that Americans have the filthiest
- 29:08Speaker 1: mouse online, and he sent me this story from some science.
- 29:15Speaker 1: A science website says Americans used Vulgo language online more
- 29:19Speaker 1: than any other English speaking country, at a rate that
- 29:23Speaker 1: is roughly one in every two eight hundred words. I'm
- 29:27Speaker 1: surprised it's not fewer one in every two hundred words.
- 29:33Speaker 1: Says Countries where English is the native language show much
- 29:37Speaker 1: more creativity and variety in their profanity compared to places
- 29:41Speaker 1: where English is a second language. And then they list
- 29:44Speaker 1: Danny regional preferences for bad words. In Ireland they favor
- 29:51Speaker 1: the word feck is the word they like.
- 29:55Speaker 3: This is one of your superpowers, because when I was
- 29:58Speaker 3: on the Overnight Show with you during break well, the
- 30:01Speaker 3: show never breaks, but during commercials, yeah, you would be
- 30:05Speaker 3: cursing like a sailor. Then it was time to get
- 30:08Speaker 3: back on the air, and it was like like a
- 30:11Speaker 3: light switch. You don't curse at all on the air obviously.
- 30:15Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, well you can't curse on the air, but
- 30:18Speaker 1: you can't do it twice. Yeah, you know what I mean,
- 30:20Speaker 1: you know, like once and then that's it.
- 30:22Speaker 3: But the dump button allows for like four curses in
- 30:25Speaker 3: a row.
- 30:25Speaker 1: Is that right the thing?
- 30:27Speaker 3: Yeah, you should try it.
- 30:28Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good idea. The favorite bad word in Britain Danny. Yeah,
- 30:33Speaker 1: starts with a C and ends with a T. You
- 30:35Speaker 1: want to take a guest, boy, Yeah, oh boy, that's
- 30:37Speaker 1: a big one. Can see you next Tuesday. And Americans,
- 30:43Speaker 1: Americans favorite curse word is asshole. So there you go,
- 30:48Speaker 1: and they avoid British terms like bloody, So there you go.
- 30:53Speaker 3: Thank you, Carl really quick on the asshole thing. When
- 30:58Speaker 3: when you're like at a drive through, or maybe you
- 31:01Speaker 3: walk up to the counter at raising canes, if the
- 31:03Speaker 3: guy waiting on you at the cash register calls you
- 31:06Speaker 3: boss a whole bunch of times, is that code for asshole? Yeah,
- 31:11Speaker 3: it's a sure thing. You got it, boss, mocking you.
- 31:14Speaker 3: It's mocking you. It's but literally right right. We talked
- 31:16Speaker 3: about that on cn in R last week because some
- 31:19Speaker 3: guy called Covino boss and big dog is not like
- 31:23Speaker 3: a term of endearment, I agree with.
- 31:27Speaker 1: Yeah, that's unless or chief, you got it, chief, not
- 31:31Speaker 1: your chief? Yeah, I agree. I think that's like mocking you.
- 31:35Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 31:36Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. It's like at Disneyland when you know someone
- 31:40Speaker 1: someone vomits at at Disneyland, you know, they have like
- 31:44Speaker 1: the code there. They don't. They don't say, I say
- 31:47Speaker 1: vomit comment. That's what I do when somebody, when somebody
- 31:50Speaker 1: throws up, I say, you know, the vomit comment. At Disneyland,
- 31:54Speaker 1: they call it a protein spill. And somebody had a
- 31:56Speaker 1: protein spill and that's that's how they've never heard that before. Yeah,
- 32:00Speaker 1: that's the code when they get on the walkie talkie,
- 32:02Speaker 1: you know the people that walk around with the brooms,
- 32:05Speaker 1: and they got a protein spill over here and then
- 32:09Speaker 1: Tomorrowland protein spill.
- 32:10Speaker 3: Yeah. I'm going to use that whenever we have a
- 32:12Speaker 3: bad segment on the air or on the podcast and
- 32:14Speaker 3: you're like, damn, that was a protein spill.
- 32:16Speaker 1: Yeah you should why not?
- 32:17Speaker 3: Man? Yeah?
- 32:18Speaker 1: Yeah, I get people, Danny at this point. I use
- 32:21Speaker 1: the vomit comment so much. If I don't mention it
- 32:24Speaker 1: in a monologue, people get upset. They're like, dude, you're
- 32:27Speaker 1: supposed to say the vomit comet, Like why didn't you
- 32:29Speaker 1: say that?
- 32:31Speaker 3: Just one of your staples.
- 32:32Speaker 1: I know, yeah, And I'm like, I don't have to.
- 32:34Speaker 1: I mean, I can I mix it up. I try
- 32:36Speaker 1: to mix it up myself. Sometimes I'll say like the
- 32:37Speaker 1: Duke of Puke or something like that, and then they
- 32:39Speaker 1: but they want the vomit comment. They love it, you know.
- 32:42Speaker 1: That's what's all about. Hey, we'll get out of that
- 32:44Speaker 1: Danny fagus so much. I know. There's the schedules tight,
- 32:46Speaker 1: you know, today and all that stuff, and you got
- 32:48Speaker 1: to get back tomorrow with Covino and Rich and uh, yes,
- 32:51Speaker 1: you'll be hanging out with them. I'll be back on
- 32:53Speaker 1: the radio tonight. I will be away from my post
- 32:57Speaker 1: a couple of days this week. I have some family
- 32:58Speaker 1: stuff I have to take care of. How dare you?
- 33:01Speaker 1: But I'll be in tonight. I'll be in tonight and
- 33:03Speaker 1: then I'll be away for a couple of days and
- 33:04Speaker 1: i'll be back. But I'll let you boys know on

- 33:09Speaker 1: couple of nights away and then I'll be back. And
- 33:11Speaker 1: it's nothing bad, nothing, It's actually a good thing. And
- 33:14Speaker 1: I'll probably let you know more about it next weekend,
- 33:16Speaker 1: but I just want to give you the heads up
- 33:17Speaker 1: on that. So I'll be in tonight and then away
- 33:20Speaker 1: a couple of days and then back to end the
- 33:22Speaker 1: week the right way.

- 33:25Speaker 3: dads around, make sure you call them today. Yeah, give

- 33:32Speaker 3: usually comes the way of this holiday, if you can
- 33:35Speaker 3: even call it a holiday, right, because it's very secondary
- 33:38Speaker 3: compared to Mother's Day, But for those of us that
- 33:41Speaker 3: have had kids too, like this is going to be
- 33:44Speaker 3: only my second Father's Day now that Cole is about
