  Speaker 1: Kabbooms.
• 0:02
  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 sol 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. Wow, it's the clearinghouse
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: of hot takes. Break free for something special. The Fifth
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Maller and Danny g Radio in NFL Sunday. It's week
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: number four, the full week. We had that appetizer the
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: other night on Thursday. We actually was a good game,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: well relatively speaking for teams. You don't really care about
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks and the Cardinals. But we're back at it today.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Danny Gee with us on the mail bag. He has
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: sashayed his way into the Fifth Hour podcast remote studio,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: fingam a jig. That that's what we do is from
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: early on a Sunday morning, Danny and we have NFL football.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Very shortly. There's a game in Ireland today that'll be
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: kicking off. Yeah, what is up with that? Vikings and Steelers?
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Do you see Aaron Rodgers complaining because the Steelers did
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: not go to Ireland early in the week and he
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: didn't have any to go out.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Insert baby crying effects here.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: He said, it looks like a pretty country from the pictures.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that he can afford to go there
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: on his own time, but I guess he wanted a
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: work life balance situation. Is that where he wanted to
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: go and enjoy the scenery and all that. And these
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: guys are such coddle babies, these professional athletes. Did you
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: see they were complaining because the Steelers did not fly
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: first class to Ireland. The Vikings had a first class
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: plane and the Steelers didn't have a first class plane.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: And it's, uh, I gotta tell you again, Danny, we're
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: around the same age, Like this is one of those things, right,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: It's like we were growing up. It's like you wore
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: that as a badge of honor, that you did it
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the heart away. Right now it's you go on social
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: media and complain because you didn't have a nice enough
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: plane to go to Ireland.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Suck it, Steelers, because the immaculate reception actually hit the turf.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: There you go, not that you're still bitter and broken about.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: I wasn't around for it, but the video footage that
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: doesn't exist.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Yes, conspiracies, do do do do do do do do
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: do do do do do do.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: What's gonna happen? Speaking of conspiracies, I saw this week
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: that they're planning on going back to the.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Moon Artemis two.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Is that a private thing or is that a NASA thing?
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I think it's a NASA thing this time. Okay, all right,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: So there's people that believe this was fake when they
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: went the first time. So are they going to say
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: this fake?
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Also?
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Is it what if it looks a lot different this
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: time because they have better cameras now than they did then, right?
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: People who say that the flag on the Moon wouldn't
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: have waved like that.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I heard that, And then I think there was
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: an engineer that said the reason was it was like
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: that was because of the craft that landed on the
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: on the Moon. I forget, I have to go back
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: and check, but I heard an explanation why it was
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: like that. And then I've also those people that are
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: convinced it was filmed actually in southern California where we
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: are in the high desert, that they went out and
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: filmed it in the high desert in that So whatever, Well,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll hear much more about that. When is
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: that going to happen, like ten years from now or something.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: It always takes a long time for these things to happen.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, way before they jumped homeless people off from Palmdale.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Well they have more if they want to dump more
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: people off of Palmdale, there's plenty. Look at it, says
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven. That's not that far away. That's not
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: that far away, says a crew should be on the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: lunar surface of the Moon in twenty twenty seven, and
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: says the land is being developed by space X. It's
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: not ready. It's not ready, and so okay, not worried
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: about that. We have NFL football today. And have you
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: given up on your Raiders yet? Danny one and two
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: are used to get looking forward to seeing them take
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: down the Bears today? Are you fired up for that?
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: The Chicago defense stinks against the run, and the Raiders
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: o line has been atrocious, as we mentioned last weekend
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: on the pod. Hopefully gent doesn't get hit behind the
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: line of scrimmage every time he touches the ball. Hopefully
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Pete Carroll's son and dad stops being so damned stubborn
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: about how they pieced together that line.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: That would be good. You have the highest paid offensive
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: coordinator in the NFL, Chip Kelly, you might want to
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: improve the offense and even the numbers of the Raiders
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: who put up on offense. At that game in Washington
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: that was there was some major garbage time stat stuffing.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Danny g As you you watched that game because Gino
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: had a couple of touchdowns on the fourth quarter and
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: a bunch of yards and he didn't really play all that. Well,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I'll be at the Ram game today. Rams are playing
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Danny Dimes in the Colts.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: Who are you don't say I'm gonna be at the
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Rams game later today too?
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Is that right? Look at you? Unbelievable, amazing. Where are
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be? Maybe we'll catch up? Who knows?
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Our boss did a raffle back on Friday and Iowa
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Sam won a pair of the tickets and I want
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: a pair of the tickets.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Look at that? Unbelievable. Yeah.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: So when you're doing your whole media schmooze fest.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Well, if you want, I can bring you a little
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: gift packet if you want, are you going with your wife?
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Who you're going with?
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: I got a few hours here to figure that out.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: I have a couple of people fighting over the second
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: ticket I have.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I got you, I got you, all right, Well, that's cool.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I didn't know they had a raffle. I wasn't invited
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: to the raffle. I had no idea. Well, you don't
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: ever check your work emails. That's true, that is correct.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I do not check the work email at all. But
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I will beat the game today, so I'm looking forward
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to to seeing if the Rams can bounce back after
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: they coughed up a fur a ball against the Eagles.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: What a terrible loss that was. And I'll be watching
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: on my laptop. While I'm watching the Ram game, I'll
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: be watching the Ravens and the Chiefs, which is the
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: big game in the late television window today, and then
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: tonight I will watch the Packers and the Dallas Cowboys.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: So this should be a good day. And so last
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: day of the baseball season, last day of the regular
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: season in baseball. So there's still still some stuff, not much,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: but still some stuff to be sorted out. Yay, all right,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: let's get to the well, we'll catch up to the ramby.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Let's get to the mail bag. It's time for the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: mail bag. Here we go.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: It's this mail bag.

  Speaker 1: fifth hour at gmail dot com. First up on the
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: mail bag is Alf from Podcasts Gone By Alf Write
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Sin says, first and foremost, why are AirPods so hard
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: to hang on to? I agree, I once dropped, Alf
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: says my AirPods at work under a paper cutter. And
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: by papercutter, I don't mean the kind you had in
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: grammar school. I mean the kind that weighs thousands of
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: pounds and has a forty five inch blade that weighs
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: fifty pounds? Does out you think Alf works at it's
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: like the office. He works at a paper mill. You
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: think he works at a paper company. I don't know anyway.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: That's what it sounds like.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it does, it says I like you. Ben was
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: on my hands and knees fishing around for a loan earbud,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: only to move some machinery and find the missing earbud
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: broken due to my movements of set machinery, he says,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: hashtag fun fact. Amazon sells individual buds that pair fine
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: with working earbuds. I did not know that.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Did you know that?
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. So if you lose if you
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: lose an AirPod, you can get If you lose one,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: you can get another one. That's pretty cool. Thank you.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Off.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to remember that because I inevitably I'm
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: a klutz. I will absolutely lose them at some point.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I know it's going to happen. Although this week I
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: am proud of myself, Dany. I went to the gym
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: a couple time, and I made sure to not open
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the air pods until I got into the gym, and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: then when I got to the car after the gym,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I didn't take them out of my ears until the
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: door of the car was closed. Therefore they could not
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: fall out of the car and on to the turf
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: or the not the turf, the asphalt there and be lost.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: So good job by you, thank you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that, and Alf says, secondly, going back to
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Friday's pod, a little known fun fact about yours truly
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: is that my grandfather on my mother's side was a
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: lumberjack in ken Yet yesterday was lumberjack lumberjack Day, he says.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: A unfund fact is that he met his untimely demise
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: in nineteen fifty two, when my mother was only sixteen
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: years old, due to a tree that he was cutting
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: falling the wrong way. Hashtag be downer. Wow, he says,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I thought these podcasts were supposed to be fun. At
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: least the audio quality is top not signed your favorite
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: audio snob. Yeah, no, Alf, you have high standards and
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: that's good. God forbid. Someone listening to a radio show
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: wants to actually hear the show. What's wrong with You?
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Reggie from Detroit writes, and he says, hey guys, hey Ben,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: what's going on with producer lead A Lap I listened
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: to your show and the Joners Show after yours. He's
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: been away for a while. Nobody's said anything from Reggie.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I have no idea, right, that's not my show. I
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: like Lee. I don't know what's going on with that,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: and hopefully he'll be back.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: But I was he just on vacation?
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Maybe No, I don't think he was on vacation.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. Oh, so hopefully he'll be back again.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: That's that's not right now and wake him up.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably not not a good idea. Next up, we
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: have what is this? Jose rights and it says mister
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: has a high band and mister g Jose here originally
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: from NorCal, now living somewhere in Massachusetts. As a kid
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: growing up, I was the biggest San Francisco Giants fan.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I never missed the game, even listening to games on
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the radio when they were not on TV. Analytics and
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: the DH in the National League and interleague play ruined
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: baseball for me. The pitchers are soft as baby poop.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Oh lola. Now, I can't stand baseball. Jose says it
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: is boring. He says, like soccer. Do you think you'll
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: ever give up on the Dodgers. I know that's hard
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: for you because of your job, but the Dodgers suck
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: and are too soft. My daughter Marlene says, hi, she's
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: nine and nine says here she's beieve It says she's
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: nine and loves the podcast.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Well, hello to Marlene, thank you for listening. And Jose,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: will I ever give up the Dodgers, though the Dodgers
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: have kind of given up me though since they got Otani.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: It's not the same. So let's just say I don't
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: have as much love for the Dodgers as I did
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: a few years ago. When they do you dirty, yeah,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: you kind of move away from where you had been.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: But that, you know, everyone's got decisions to make in life,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: and what they make, you know, is in a decision
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: that the Dodger PR staff made their decision. And let's
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: just say, I'm not as engaged as I had been
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: in the past.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: You missed that Angels type treatment that you was good.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, No, It's just it's been eye opening the
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: last couple of years. That's all I'll say. That's all
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I'll say on that one. He also says, why don't
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: you put the meat and greet events on YouTube? We
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: love to see more of you guys. That is from
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: jose and his daughter Marlene. So sure. The only issue
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: with that is someone would have to record those things
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: for YouTube. The YouTube channel is run by Fox Sports
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Radio and the IT department at Fox Sports Radio, and
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the company has chosen to not invest in the meet
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: and greet. So these are things that we do on
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: our own. They don't give us any kind of a
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: budget because it's just our own event, so they'd have
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: to send somebody out there that would cost them money.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing that will not happen, Jose, but I would
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: love for it. I've I've pitched for years that they
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: spend a little money, get some advertisers, Let's do a
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: bunch of meet and Greece. Let's do one every other
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: month and just go around and promote them in the
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: whole thing. But they've chosen to go a different direction
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: on that, so I don't think that's going to happen.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Ferg Dog in Fullerton, writes and says evening, gentlemen, Evening.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Says Fergie Ferg. Yeah, it's not the evening for us
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Good news, guys, I finally completed my Disney autograph book. Well,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: congratulations for a dog. I've got every single mask got
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: in there. I had to put up with a lot
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: of crying kids to get them, especially a few weeks ago,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: but I got them. He said, well, what do you
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: think the hardest one to get out of the Disney characters?
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Wehl airly Goofy.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: That's what he's referring to if you're hear a podcast
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: or I think three weekends again.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: To celebrate the occasion, I'd like to ask what your
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: favorite Disney movie was growing up. Take as much time
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: as you need to think it over. I've got all day,

• 14:38

• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I like that a lot. I thought that was pretty cool.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: That was a Disney movie, right, the cartoon one. Remember
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: the original Robin Hood?
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, the old school Robb the og.

  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: My grandmother took us to the drive in to see

• 16:02
  Speaker 4: the different characters from Cars.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: No, that's cool, cos still way too small to go
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: on the actual Cars ride though.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Right, you can't too small for that? Yeah, too small
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: for that. Yeah.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: We took him in cars Land inside California Adventure and
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: he loved it.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: No, that's cool.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: As a kid man, that must be like just your
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: eyes popping out of your head, like this is unbelievable,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: this is crazy. Scott from Florida writes in on the
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Mailbag the Fifth Hour podcast. If you'd like to send
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: a message in for some reason, if you didn't listen
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: at the beginning you fast forwarded through the mailbag, send
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: us a question. It won't be used today, but it'll
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: be used next week on the mailbag Real fifth Hour
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: at gmail dot com, Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Scott says, hey, Ben and Danny, Ben, you joked about
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: somebody drinking an Arnold Palmer by the pool the other
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: day and your Marconi deserving Mallard monologues. If someone were
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: to create a Ben Maler and or a Danny g
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: what would the drink entail? A Scott from Florida would
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: have some orange juice, of course, maybe a drop of
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: salt water to ensure the crazy in Florida is represented,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: and a squeeze of waffle House syrup for a sweetener
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: as an ode to the waffle House hurricane index. Finally,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Florida being a vacation destination. I think it's got to
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: be rum for the alcohol. What are your thoughts? That's
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Scott from Florida. So I'd love to have a drink.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: We've got the food dishes in Kansas City and in Denver,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: and I'd love to have the drink. That would be wonderful.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Still want the malard pizza? Would like that malard pizza
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: would be good. Mallard cheeseburger double cheeseburger would be solid
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: as well. I don't know what jee I mean. I'm
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: not a huge drinker. I'm guessing it would be a
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: It would be a fruit based drink, like a cranberry,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: maybe some orange mixed together, and you know, I'm open.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: I'm open to it. We could get creative of that
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: would be a good idea. Danny go into a bar.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: We got a lot of bartenders that listen to the show.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Got a guy into Moine for example, going there and
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: just like futs around with different combinations and see what
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: you like and then boom at your drink.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Why not?
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: What about you?
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: You know? I would go prune juice and rum. I'd
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: call it the prum prune juice.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because you could get faded and clean out your
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: system all at the same time.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: The two for one special, the daily double Danny's there,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: you go, even health nuts mixed with the party people
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: and they'd be pushing up to the bar saying, you know,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I want the Danny jeep.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So you're going away from the original
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Danny g which was was that the Roofies was at
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: the original No, I'm.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: Kidding, I'm from the Garadelli family, not the Pudding Pop family.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Hello, Eric is thank you by the way, Scott from Florida,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: you signed your name. Good job by you. Eric in
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Chula Vista, Eric from Just Sunday, I go away, beautiful
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Cheula Vista. Do I get Cardiff by the Sea? Can
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: I get a Cardiff by the Sea? Get a East County,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: North County? Come on anyway? Eric and Cheula Vista rights
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: and says, hey, Ben and Danny g I have been
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: a secret non caller p one for years. Good job
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: by you, Eric, He says. When the podcast first launched,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: you and Gagon begged us to help goose the numbers
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: by downloading it on every device and site, grandparents' phones,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: smart toasters, you name it. That's right, and Eric says,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: So when I visited my mom, I sneakily subscribed her
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: to your podcast. Fast forward five years. She calls me
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: in a panic, saying her phone is super low on space.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Story continues. Eric says, funny thing is since she he
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: only knows how to make an answer calls and only
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: knows how to read and not send text messages. I
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: checked the storage and discovered her phone had become the
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Library of Congress for the fifth hour podcast. Every single episode,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: every single episode was still there. It turns out I
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: never said it to auto delete, so she was basically
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: carrying around the Smithsonian of your podcast. That's awesome.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: That is hilarious.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you for that. Eric, that's great. So
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: it takes about according to this, it takes about five
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: years to save up every podcast and then eventually you
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: have to delete the podcast because you have no more
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: space on your phone yet. And we still support that. Eric,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up because we haven't brought
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: this issue to the podcast in a while. But when
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I did do it with Gagon, who retired to Florida
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: years ago, and I've had a great time with Danny
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: g But when we we used to beg people, Danny,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: because we figured out that a lot of a lot
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: of people have older parents and grandparents or whatever and
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: obviously older and they have their phones and they can
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: download the podcast, they can subscribe, so we can, as
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Eric said, here goose the numbers a little bit by
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: having kids subscribe their parents to the podcast, and it does.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Work pretty surest law, Wow.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: It's a law. It's podcasting. There are no laws, right,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: it's all it's the wild Wild West man, it's podcasting.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I do appreciate your support, Eric, and you are in
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: the silent majority, because trust me, if we only went
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: by the people that participate in these radio shows and podcasts,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: we would not have very many people who are participating
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: or who are listening. But we have many, many more
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: people who are just silently listening and ease dropping in
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: into whatever we're talking about. So thank you, Eric, andologize
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: to you mom. I hope she's okay, And just delete
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: a bunch of them and then don't delete the follow.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Do not delete the follow. Lucky Tony writes in from
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the Bay Area. He says, Hey, Ben and Danny g.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: I have been listening to the twenty seventeen podcast Here
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: we Go Again, twenty seventeen podcast and Waiting Live show.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I can't believe how many people go back and hear
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: those old Why would you go back and hear an
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: old podcast? I don't get it.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: The reason why, Ben, that's when you had your best
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: roster on your overnight show.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Oh there you go, there you go, the old days,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: the salad days. It has changed a lot over the year, anyway,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: says Waiting for the live show to be downloaded to
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: listen to have y' all played Terry's song? Did I
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: miss it?
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: Or will it be?
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: On the podcast? He says, Raiders twenty three, Bears thirteen,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Lock it in your thoughts Bears. So he's lucky to
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: he's a Bears fan, but he's picking the Raiders to
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: beat the Bears today.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: About that, you know, a Chicago fan called me on
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: the studio lines a few days back and told me,
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: here's what's up with my team. We look good one week,
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: and we look like crap the next week. So you
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: get us on a week where we're going to lose,
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: and I hope he's right.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: He knows his team.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: There's been a lot of chatter about the Bears have
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: figured everything out because they beat up the Cowboys last week,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: and normally the team that is getting a lot of
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: media shine does not live up to that shine the
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: following game. So we'll see what happens. Kevin and Kansas
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: writes in on the mail bag. He says, Dear Ben
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: and Danny g my sister in law sent some pictures
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: of the progress of the BUCkies going up in Goodyear, Arizona.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah, it looks like it will be June as
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: the new opening did.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Oh wow.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Originally, Danny, this was supposed to be done by Christmas
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: of this year, and now here we are. This is
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: the last weekend in September and the last Sunday in September,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: and so they've already pushed that back, according to Kevin,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: until June of twenty twenty six. Ben, would you consider
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: doing your show live from BUCkies in Arizona? And Danny
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: G would you consider providing DJ services for the grand opening?
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Let me see here, is that a paying gig. I'm
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: gonna go. I'm gonna speak for Danny G. I'm gonna go.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah, Danny, you would be willing to do that?
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: Hell yeah yeah if they gave me some big BUCkies money.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: But usually those kind of gigs the assistant manager under
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: the manager says, I got a buddy that'll do the
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: gig for one hundred bucks.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and that would absolutely. Kevin love to do
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: the show from BUCkies. They would have to write a
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: check though, to the company. They don't just send me
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: out to those things unless they're getting some cash and
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: all that. It would be fun. I do plan on
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: going there. I guess you'd have to go in June though.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: You don't want to go to Arizona in July, right,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: you don't want to go to Arizona July or August.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Even in June.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: It's pretty Toasta pretty been there in July it felt
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: like a furnace.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's brutal, brute taddled for sure. What are you
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: wearing for the Ram game today, Danny? You're a Raider fan.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: You don't care about the colts of the Rams.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Like what I'm gonna wear Dodger gear?
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right? A last one, last one on the
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: mailbag from Ben H. Ben H writes in says, Hello, Ben,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: I have never seen a person hate a player on
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: his own team like you despise Clayton Kershaw. His playoff
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: struggles are way overblown. You, of all people, should remember
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: the horrid Dodgers offense of the early to made twenty tens.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: These terrible offensive performances greatly.
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: Effencd Ben, take that, Ben, take it.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Take it greatly affected his win loss record, which is
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: thirteen and thirteen, not under five hundred. Taically said, no
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: bad job by you, Ben. What I said is in
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: games started by Clayton Kershaw, the Dodgers have a losing record,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: and that's the games he got a no decision in.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: It's the complete body of his work, playoff games started
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: by Clayton Kershaw. If you go to his playoff game log,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers have a losing record when he started in
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, they lost more times than they won, says
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: the other great pitchers of his generation, Schuerzer and Verlander
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: both have postseason in the areas over three. I like
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: how Ben conveniently leaves off Madison Bumgardner, yet you never
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: bring them up as playoff chokers. Even the great Pedro
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Martinez has a postseason in the ara of three point
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: four to six. Hardly clutch, as you called him in
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: your tie rade against Kershaw. If Dave Roberts pulled Kershaw
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: when any other manager would have, instead of leaving him
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: in to die, his EI would have been very good
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: in the postseason. Since twenty fifteen, he has had two
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: years worthy of criticism, twenty nineteen and twenty thirteen. One game.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Do better Ben from Ben age? Listen, there's nothing to debate.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I do like the Dodgers. I do not do hero worship.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: I just don't. It was the most ridiculous thing the
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Dodgers did.
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: I was embarrassed you did in your thirties, though, Remember
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: when you got that Judeo Nomo tattoo on your left
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: ask cheek.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Trying not to talk about that, Danny, Please, all right,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get that removed. Nobody sees my ass,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: but no, but seriously, like listen, I felt sad for
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Embarrassing what the Dodgers did when they dug
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: up the rubber at Dodgers Stadium. It was so pathetic.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: So so just you tell me to do better, I say,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers need to do better. He's a freaking he's cleaners,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: a great regular season player, Hall of Fame, regular season pitcher,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: and the reason the Dodgers do not have two or
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: three more World Series championships because of his competence. And
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: you can spin it any way you want, and you know,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: knock yourself out. Clayton Kershaw did not elevate his performance
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. He didn't remember this was it seven
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: nothing Cardinals. Dodgers had a seven nothing lead against the Cardinals.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Remember that that playoff game the Phillies in the early
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: or late as.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: Man the number one thing I don't like about this
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: topic or conversation is I buried those bat memories. I
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: don't want them coming to the front of them.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I understand, but it's just I just it's fair.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Didn't happen. It didn't happen. It didn't happen.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Well, I was at a lot of those games back
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: in those days, and I witnessed. I saw it, and
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: I was the one sing, next time is gonna be okay,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Kershaw is going to be fine next time? And then
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: he'd be out there and he'd be in the cockpit
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: in the vomit comment, and I mean, like, what is
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: he doing? He sucks again? I was like, come on,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: it's it was always.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: An ex But he would have, let's be honest, he
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: would have got that one against the Strows if they
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: weren't cheating. And he did finally shake it off the
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: last two World series that we got. So, I mean,
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: you can say that it's not enough redemption, but at
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: least he's had some redemption.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Not enough to have a state funeral. Okay, much God
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: so stupid? Oh he crap? I mean, did they have
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: any shame over there? It is so over the top
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: at Dodger stadium. It's embarrassing. Okay, he's a human being. Stop,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: he's not a god. He's not a Demi god. It's
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: like so stupid, it's so dumb. I said five years
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: ago he should have retired, And finally he's gonna retire
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: and the Dodgers will be fine. They're not gonna miss
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw because he's that's it. It's time for him
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: to go do something else. And he'll still be out
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: at all the games anyway. They're gonna they're gonna give
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: him the Kofax package where they pay him a couple
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars a year to come out and take
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: photos and kiss babies and shake hands and all that stuff.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: So he's not going anywhere. That's it, though, Thank you, Ben.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: He doesna say he loves the show, and I appreciate
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: you listening. Ben. And I've gotten some email Danny from
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Dodger fish and they start, I used to like your show,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: but you know it's because of the Kershaw thing. They're
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: so they're so bitter.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: In my response, I saw it in the comments. You
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: had more than one person quit on you.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and again, as we like to say, Danny,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: First of all, if you're going to stop listening to
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: a show because you didn't like a take the person had,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: then you're not really a fan of the show. You're
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: a fake fan, okay, because I ideal in a lot
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: of takes, IM in the industrial concrete.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Now you're pissing off the other half of our list.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: No, I'm just a real fan. Does not quit something
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: because of one take that you don't agree with, that's
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: a fake fan. And secondly, the Ben Mahler Show is
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: a radio show. It is not an airport. You do
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: not have to announce your departure. You don't have to
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: say that the doors are closed. If you don't want
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: to listen, do not like.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: It's fine.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: There are other things you can listen to, bad audio
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: somewhere else or whatever. You don't have to listen. But
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: it's like if I, as I point, I go to
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: a restaurant and I don't like, I like I used
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: to go to Canner's Deli in La I used to eat.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I used to live right off near Fairfax there and
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: used to go there quite a bit, and I haven't
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: been there in years. I didn't I didn't call Canners
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: up and say I'm not going there anymore. I just
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: stop going. That's that's it.
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well there's this thing called Yelp, and there's some
• 31:31
