  Speaker 3: Hey everybody, how you doing.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Welcome in, Robbie. It's great to have you. Thanks for
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: doing the mail bag. I want you to know there
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: were efforts made for certain other people we will not
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: name them, that were unable of getting over the technical
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: speed bump. I didn't realize it was that technically savvy
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to be on the Fifth Hour podcast, but apparently it is, Robbie,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: So you've been able to figure it out. You're mister reliable,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: You're mister dependable, and you're here. And before we get
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: into the mail bag, announced that there was over the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: weekend a football fantasy draft which was tied to the show.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Is this accurate? Am I correct? Is it was this tied? Yeah?
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: So yeah, uh, there's there's the one I do that
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I've done for like five years now and then since then,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: I think, as so far as I'm aware, there's like
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: three other people that run him two and a Queen
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: rock sand shout out to her. She's such a fantasy
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: football addict. She was. She had a Mountain Williss draft
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: that I wasn't a part of at two PM and
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: then ours was it like two thirty, So she was
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: doing two drafts at the same time, which I'm pretty
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: sure is a sign of like a disease.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, well a slight, slight addiction.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, may that mean you know, the addiction is a
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: disease that old infomercial.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, well maybe not in a twelve step
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: maybe like a four step program, not a full twelve
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: step to get away from that. But yeah, you're Yeah,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: we have a lot of messages coming in here. This
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: is the week before the big event Saturday, Las Vegas
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: at the Steakeout Bar and Grilled in her UNLV. We're
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: looking forward to that. You're gonna be there, right, Robie?
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Yep, yep, yep. Something terrible goes wrong?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, you'll.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: But yeah, the hotel's book, flights booked, everything's I'm excited.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be great. Hopefully mouthwash Mike shows up and
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you can meet him and all the other characters that
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: are planning on attending, and it's gonna be pretty cool
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: to see everyone and have a good time and enjoy
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the Vegas heat and then get back to reality. But
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the first message up is from a listeners seth in Dallas.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: These are actual messages by actual listeners. Would'd like to
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: send a messaging, you can send it care of Real
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: fifth Hour at gmail dot com. All letters, no numbers.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Seth from Texas.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: He's in Dallas, and he says, Hey, Ben, have you
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: ever been scammed by someone trying to book you as
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: a guest? Sas says on their podcast, and he sent
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: me a story Robbie. Apparently there is a group going
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: around that is attacking celebrities who are scamming celebrities by
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: fake podcast bookings, which is currently a thing. Scammers are
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: impersonating well known podcast hosts and inviting them, like celebrities, authors,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and entertainers, on what they think are legitimate shows. However,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the goal is obviously not to have them as a guest.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: It is to steal money or to gain access to
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: their social media accounts so they can hack them and
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: then I guess send out gambling information. No, Seth, I
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: have not been scammed a knock on wood here. That
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: has not happened. And we pretty much stopped booking guests
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: on the podcast because I just don't have time for
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I don't really have any to produce the podcast, so
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: it's pretty much it's just me running around, so I
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: just don't have the time to do it. Otherwise we
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: would get people on and so that's pretty much it.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: But yeah, the ways you can get scammed. Now they
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: say this is AI generated and it's personalized because of
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the way AI is these days. They claim a someone
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: who's a Broadway personality. I couldn't name one person who's
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a Broadway personality. Somebody's a Broadway personality said they got
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: an invitation to appear on NICKI Glazer's podcast, and then
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: it turned out to be a scam. And then there's
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a comedy guy. I don't know who these people are.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Supposedly they got scammed, but yeah, I've not had that set,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: so hopefully that will not happen. I did do an
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: interview this week in Edmonton. My line dropped or I
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: don't know this afternoon guy in Edmonton. I've been on
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: his show a few times and it's pretty cool when
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: you're in the break before the show comes on. Got
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: commercials for the Edmonton Elks, which is one of the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: teams Robbie that during the global wokeism pandemic when they
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: were changing team names, you know, we lost the Redskins
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and the Cleveland Indians. We also lost the Edmonton Eskimos,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: which was rest in peace Eskimos very offensive. I still
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: eat my Eskimo pie. I do. I'm a bad person,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: but I do. I do enjoy my escable pie. So anyway,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: so I know I've not been scammed by any fake
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: podcast people, but I'm sure that'll happen now that we've
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: mentioned it on the mail bag. So I cannot wait
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: for that to happen. I don't think I have enough
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: of a reach for that to really matter. Next up,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: for Dog from Fullerton writes in with the Robbie the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Mariner appearance, Here, he says fer dog forget says Ben
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and friend, that would be Robbie the Mariner fan Ben,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: do you think there are possibly too many mics and
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: dogs contributing to the show with this is Actually he's
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: actually onto somebody. He says, with Mike, you've got Mike
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the Leprechaun, Mike and Fullerton, Mike in New Hampshire, Mouthwash, Mike,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Michael and Tulsa, et cetera. And he says the dogs
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: are e Dog, ferg Dog, Sous's dog, and Joe Dog.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I think I left off like five more Mikes, he says.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Are we close to hitting any quotas? Or is there
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: more Mike and dogs? The Merrier wasn't that Mike and
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the Mad Dog. Right, it was a fair show Mike
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and the Mad Dog in New York until they hated
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: each other. Well, they actually hated each other most of
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the time. Uh yeah, there's there are a lot of
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: news named Mike. I have noticed that. I really haven't
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: noticed the dog thing other than Ferg Dog and E Dog. Yeah.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I think we're good.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: There used to be a lot of Robs and Robbies
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: and Roberts. Now there's a couple. But like when I
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: first joined the show, there was like Robin belcher Town
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: and Robin Minnesota, and there was a bunch of Robs,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: and it's definitely been overtaken by Mikes.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Well you didn't say it right, Robbie, It's it's Robbie.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Oh yepow Yeah. Whatever happened to that guy that was?
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: I don't know why I remember this, but he was
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: the first Mallard Militia person to follow me on X.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: But just shows how weird my memory is and how
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: that is odd.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I believe we lost him to the dreaded day shift. Okay,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: we've lost many good Foot soldiers in the Mallard Militia
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: who have unfortunately ended up on the dreaded day shift.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: We hate when that happens. Thank you, Ferg Dog. I
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: did not get a message from Ferg Dog last week.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: We felt naked on the mailbag without dog right again.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: We also didn't get a message from Reggie in Detroit
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and Reggie's next up, back to back, in belly to belly,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Reggie's back this week. He says, hey been and whoever
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: does Moxie eat better than you? And then he says,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: there's a story here where forty five percent of dog
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: owners say their pets eat higher quality meals than they
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Nearly half of dog owners claim that their animals are
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: eating better than they are. No, Reggie, Moxie does not
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: eat better than me, although MAXI eats about as well
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: as me. Because often what happens, I end up making
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: too much food. My eyes are bigger than my stomach,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and so I'll end up making hearty meals. Robbie thinking
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I could eat like I used to eat, and I
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: don't eat as much as I did back in the day,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: so I end up making too much food. And if
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I have a little left extra, rather than just throw
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: it away, I'll give it to Moxie so she'll eat
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: what I don't eat. But not eating better than me.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't have any dogs, but I sympathize with
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: your with your making too much food and then realizing
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: I can't eat as much as I used to because
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: in between some changes medically and some changes with that
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: GLP one stuff. I still think when I go to
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: a fast free restaurant, like, I'll have a large this,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: at a large that, and then I'll be like I could
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: have just gotten a small and none of that, and
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: I would be full and probably have twenty dollars more
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: than I do now.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: So yeah, no, no, it sucks, It sucks. Yeah. Yeah.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Once you've become a big man and you eat like
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: a big man the rest of your life, even if
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: you don't eat like you still are wired. I think
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: we're hardwired, Robbie to.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Be fast exactly.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: That's the way. Yeah, that's the way it is. Quang
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, right sin he says, guaranteed human,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Big Ben and Blank. I came across an interesting BBC
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: News Round story about the phenomenon known as fake news
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and how it can spread online. The article explains that
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: not everything you see a read on the interweb is
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: necessarily true, and it encourages people to stop think and
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: check the source before believing or sharing something, and he
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: says the question from Quang Big Ben. In your many
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: years of working in radio and dealing with sports rumors,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: how often have you been how often have you seen
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I was seeing a story take off that turned out
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: to be completely bogus? And have you ever been fooled
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: by one yourself? That's Quang from Ho Chim in Vietnam. Yeah.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Every once in a while, I'll get I'll get hornswaggle
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: by by something. It doesn't happen very often. The one
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I got ripped on ripped on, I caught it midway through.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: There was a story that was really good. It wasn't
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: a fake story. It was just like a thirty year
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: old story that somebody had repackaged is new and it
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: was an obscure story about the Cincinnati Bengals. And I
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: fell for it because it was a real story. It
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: just wasn't modern. And I do see that a lot online.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: For engagement farming, people will bring back stories that were real,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: but they're they're not real anymore. I mean they're they're
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: old stories and they'll bring them back and then they'll
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: get a lot of traction online, and I've had friends
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: of mine send me stories from people in the media
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: business and their bogus. There was a there was a
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: parody account. Actually the other day there was a parody
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: account that ripped Jeff Passing of ESBA. Oh.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: I almost felt for that, Okay, yeah, you know yeah.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I had a couple of my buddies send this to
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: me like it's legitimate, like a legitimate thing, and it's like, well,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's legit, and then I I usually
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: end up double and triple checking just to make getting
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: getting burned. It is hard, though, it's you know, there
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: were worse problems to have, but oftentimes something looks like
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: it's legit, it's got a lot of traction to it.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: You're like, Okay, that's got to be legit, and then
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: you're like, bogus, bogus. It is easy to fall for
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: that stuff, though, No it is.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Everyone. Do you have like one friend in your group
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: that falls for it more than anyone else, because I
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: do so. In the shout out justin Cincinnati, hope he's
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: doing better. He's had a lot of health problems recently,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: which is why it's kind of in zero dark thirty
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: on Twitter. But yeah, he of like my twelve Mala
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: militia guys that a lot. It's he's like three times
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: more than anyone else falls for the berry sports berry
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: type stuff.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, the berry stuff's great. I love when
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: stuff I think is fake is real. That's that's true.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: That happens a lot, Like there's stuff that I'll see
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: that that's not real, and then yeah, it turns out
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: to be totally legit, and you're like, oh man, that's
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: pretty pretty wild, pretty wild, all right. Next up Lucky
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Tony from the Bay Area Rights, and he says, hey, Ben,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Tip of the Bears, cap to Alf the Alien, opiner
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: and fer dog. Lucky Tony says, why don't Raider fans
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: like their fat wives wearing Raider panties? Uh? Lucky Tony
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: then says, because it looks like a pirate sale? All right?
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Come on now, oh geez, come on man, what's wrong
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: with you? How dare you? How about Big Daddy accusing
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Lucky Tony having some kind of you know, fraud going
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: on with his phone calls? How about that one Robbie
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: we had that this week?
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: You know, AI has gone too far when people are
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: like Oh, this guy can't be real, must be AI,
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: like just the fact that's your first instinct. Yeah, if
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: that makes any sense at all, It's just it's like
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: someone went in. I don't know if even AI is
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: powerful enough to kind of pretend to be Tony. He
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: maybe more of all the years I've listened, it has
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: to be at least ten. Now he's maybe the most
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: unique in terms of just like when he first started calling,
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: it was I was worried he's gonna end up on
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: like CNN for like, you know, something terrible. Then he's
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: kind of pivoted to now doing like these one liner
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: to He's he's replaced real talk in terms of you
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: don't know when he's gonna get dumped, but you know
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: he will get dumped almost every call.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, Well the good thing about Too Lucky
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Tony is he he's reinvented himself. He went from as
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: you said, talking about these deep dark nightmares of people,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: and then he transitioned into poorn, star drops and really
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: naughty you know, graphic descriptions of things he would like
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: to do, where he toes the line he toes it's
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: pretty pretty good, all right. Next up, Dave from Seattle writes,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: and he says, Ben, why did my city vote for socialism?
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: He then say about Starbucks spending what one hundred million
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: on Nashville. One hundred and twenty people out of work
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: in Seattle because of Starbucks relocating a bunch of jobs
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: to Nashville. Yeah, well you'll f around and find out, right,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I guess it's the thing, you know, you'll you know,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: people try to warn you, you don't listen, and then
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: stuff happens, and then well that's on you. So you know,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: next time you have an election, you vote for who
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: you think might not do that the next time. But yeah,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: it's a tough situation. You know.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: The head of Starbucks now lives in Florida, so or
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: the FOURD the Schultzky and was a critical about him,
• 16:03

  Speaker 3: he got to liberal, he just fled to Florida because
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: he has the money. And he's like, yeah, see you
• 16:15

  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I know, but he's like he just left
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: the people that can't move with the socialism, and he's
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: just enjoying the sunshine.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I'm about a kid NFL insider about.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: I had for years, I had no idea until the
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: Rappaport fight with him, I had no I didn't correlate
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: the two, and I was like.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow, the Starbucks in Indianapolis, right the hotel?
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the hotel I've been. Yeah, I've been right
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: by that one. That must have been quite the.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Scene, quite the Donnybrook you're back in the day. Yeah.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: So I don't know what to tell you, Dave. I
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: don't live in Seattle. Hit my problem, but it sucks.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry for the people that lost their jobs, and
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: that's too bad. Ian from Charleston wrights In we did
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: a Mallard meet and greet there a few years back.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: My my niece lives in Charleston now she's out of school,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: and Ian says, Ben and Blank you often mentioned Pigley
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Wiggly on the show. Have you ever been to one?
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: And did you see they're closing more stores? A. I
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: have been to Pickley Wiggly because when you're in the South,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: you got to do Southern things. So I did go
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: to Pickley Wiggily. Just love the porky pig logo on
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the side. I didn't buy anything there, and I'm unaware
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: of what you're saying, you know, though, I do see
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: you send a link here that there's some stores closing.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: They're not They're not doing well the market business. The
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: margins are very thin in the in the market in
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: the marketing game. So yeah, the bunch of closers closures
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: rather for Pickley Wiggly in places like what we got Alabama,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: South Carolina, Georgia and Oklahoma. So they have a unique
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: a claim the Courda story that you sent Ian, they
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: have a unique business structure Pickley Wiggly. The stores operate
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: under the Pickly Wiggly name, but are independently owned, enfranchised,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: run by different families and operators. Okay, so they use
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: the Pigley Wiggly power is what. And I just love
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: that name. I love that name, and I like to
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: work that name in the monologues. I doig it's a
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: fun thing to say, Robbie Pickley Wiggly. It's a great name.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I wanted to buy a Pickley Wiggly shirt. I went
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: into a Pickley wiggly. They had shirts, but they did
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: not have the size that was needed. Robbie, you know
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: what that's like.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: You go in there, yes, yeah, well yeah, yeah yeah.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: When you're a big guy, uh close, shopping isn't what
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: you gotta travel far and pardon upon but far and wide.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely far and definitely wide and yeah, yep, absolutely, yeah, yeah.

• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I don't even know.

  Speaker 3: as incoherent as his calls.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: That's nice. Yeah, And Mike is upset. He would like
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: to be in the mail bag, and he wants to

• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Mike the Leprecaun. We look forward to your calling up.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I know you will on Monday. Ranting and raving. Mark
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: from Saint Louis writes it. He says, Hey, Ben, great
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: show as always. I have been listening since the since
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: the days before Danny g started working with you. Was
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: always curious when the power couple Jack and Leslie started
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: calling the show and how they became a fixture on
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: the award winning Factor Fiction. Hopefully they are fine, however,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I think we know better. It's from Mark in Saint Louis. Yeah,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I've not heard from Jack and Leslian some time. I
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: don't know what happened to them. I can only imagine
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: they were older and all that, and they started calling. Well,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Jack started calling, and then it became a family affair.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: As I remember, Mark and Jack would go out to
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: the dog track. They had dog racing in Florida, and
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: God love Jack, you love Jack. Former federal judge getting
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: up early to go to the dog track. Watch the
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: not the ponies, the canines run around and then eventually
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: they outlawed dog racing became illegal in Florida. But Jack,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: it's a tradition. He would get up early and call
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the show and all that, so it just kind of
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: organically happened. And Leslie, God bless her. She became a
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: big part of the show also, like the grandma, the
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Babushka of the show. And we always loved having them on.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: And I love the fact that they every week, no
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: matter what they would be traveling, Leslie would be up
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: in Long Island to see the grandkids and she'd make
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: sure she called the show. Still like they didn't want
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: to miss it. They don't want to ever miss a
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Thursday in morning on the show. They wanted to be
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: part of the show every Thursday, which was so so sweet,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: so special. And I almost met them. I was visiting
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: my brother in New York. They were out on Long Island.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I was in the city. We were trying to figure
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: out logistically how to make it work and I only
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: had a limited window of time and it didn't work,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: and I'm out. I did not get a chance to
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: meet Jack Lesley. I came real close and they wanted
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: to do it and they had like a gazillion grandkids
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: out on Long Island, and so it didn't happen. Uh,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: hopefully we'll find out at some point what happened. I'd
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: like to think that, you know, somebody will reach out
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: that does happen where someone will unfortunately move on to
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: the other side or whatever, and then somebody a relative
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: will reach out and uh, kind of like what we
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: had with our friend in Denver who died as mom
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: reached out to me Big Sexy who had died in
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: a you know, a sudden heart attack situation, and his
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: mom made sure to let us know that he had
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: had passed and he was a big fan of the
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: show and stuff like that. So uh, nothing so far, Mark,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: And thank you for listening all this time. I appreciate it. Oh,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: if you I'm gonna I gotta go back to the
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: mail bag here because I wrote this down and then
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I didn't put the name and if if you don't
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: see the name Robbie, people get very upset if you
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: don't see that.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he didn't didn't sign their names. So it's a
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: little oh, it's like I mean, uh, click this year,
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: let's see what do we got here? Who sent this
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: one in?
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. I have no idea,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I have no the whole Let me try one more
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: thing here. You listen to our live coverage. It's the
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: mailbag Robby the Mariner fan. We'd like to alert all
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: the affiliates down the line. We're having some technical difficulties here.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I'll type this in. Let me see here all right, now,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I got now, I got here. We go. This is
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: from outback John and Joanna in the San Gabriel Valley,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: and John says, my car recently turned one hundred thousand
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: miles old. She works like a dream. Our question our
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: questions are what is the highest mileage you have ever
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: had were gotten from a car, And if it's not
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: too personal, how many miles does the current Maladmobile have?
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: That is from our friends who make the Bloomin Onion
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: out back John and Joanna there in southern California. So
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: the Malormobile now, one of the cars has almost one
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty thousand, the other has like one hundred
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: and fifty thousand on it. It's they're very well used.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: I don't live anywhere near the radio station, and have
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: not lived near the radio station for some time, so
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I'm putting anytime I go into the studio, it's over
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: one hundred miles and so wow, yeah, I knew.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: You had a community knows that much.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: It's not one way, I mean it's round, not two hundred.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I would be two hundred miles, Robbie.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's good. I've never been accused of being good
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: with maths.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, So it's yeah, it's it's over fifty
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: each way to get to the station, So it's over
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: one hundred miles a day, and then plus the other
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: driving that I do, so it's a lot of mileage.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: And I just want to keep going until these things creak,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: you know, croke, and then all go get something else
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: and that'll be that. I have started now at least
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: on road trips where I'll rent a car on the road,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: not to add extra mouse, because I don't trust the cars.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be out in the desert in
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Arizona when it's one hundred that's thirty degrees or Nevada
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: and have my car breakdown. So that's the one concession
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I've made. Other than that, it's keep on trucking. It's
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: keep on trucking, and that's it. Now. If somebody owns
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: a car dealership and wants to hook me up, I'm
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: all ears I'm all ears on that. You know, I
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: work something out there, The goat Man writes in that
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Oh no, says dear Ben and the fat Kid, I
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: don't know who that is. Greeting exalutations from Iowa. In
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: case you didn't realize, I have had to take a
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: brief break from the show to attend to some personal matters.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: But fear not, I will be back with you and
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: the militia overnights in no time. I come bearing two
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: pieces of interesting information. First and foremost, Robbie was invited
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: to play in a national fantasy football league. The draft
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: started at six pm out West. He drafted Fernando Mendoza.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: For That's a Lot.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Set his team to auto draft, and went to bed.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: Hot parts slightly.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: How would you grade his draft performance if you drafted
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: for NANO, I did jesus.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: If I did. It was after like it was a
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: seventeen round. Drafted after the twelfth, I was quite tired,
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: and I went to bed and put it on auto drafts.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: So there is a slight chance that somehow auto draft
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: took for Nano Mendoza.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: But uh no, you're denying the claim by the goat man.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: You're claiming that I am.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Not to get all hart of fantasy on it, because
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: no one couts not fantasy. But I have always been
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: one of those guys that waits until just about everyone's
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: taken a QV before I take a QV because that's
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: why fantasy foot Also, in realistic the QB is not
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: nearly as important as the running backs.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I know you, yeah, fantasy and receivers that
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: can you know? Yeah, I hear, uh not that I'm
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: mister fantasy football, because I am certainly not mister fantasy football.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: I did see though over the weekend. I guess we
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: can put to bed that Drew Aller as the savior
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, is that what we're supposed
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: to do? What happened?
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: I have not been paying attention to the preseason this year.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Well he didn't. The Steelers somehow got shut out in
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: an extbout. Oh yes right, the Jets and Drew Aller. Well,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: he returned to or Earth. He he had a passer
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: rating of below sixty two. Which I don't think is
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: good and average less than five yards attempt and completed
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: less than fifty percent of his passes against the Jets. Suck, Suck,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Suck goat man. Email continues. He says, lastly, a fun
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: story for you. I forgot where I read it, but
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: it's about a man who lives off of Costco samples
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: for eight months so he could save his money for gambling.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Insert Robbie and Food factoid here. Fantastically frugal or absolutely genius.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: I thought that was a fake story. Wasn't that a
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: fake story? That was a fake story? Right? That was
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: a bogus story. That wasn't a real story. Didn't we
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: just talk?
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: I believe it though, because so my dad. He's retired,
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: but he used to be a lawyer and he had
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: some interesting clients. And multiple clients of his over the
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: years would live off of Costco samples from out of
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: date Costco cards they found in dumpsters and would just
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: show up to the store and that's how they ate.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, I thought that was fake. But I'm telling
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: you that when you go to Costco, they scan you.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: You have to like scan it.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Well, this is years ago. That's why they are they
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: finally caught up to the scam? Probably because of that
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: news story. To be honest with you.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, I thought that was bogus, but hey,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: why not? Man? I love costco samples and I'm the
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: guy you I don't really do that anymore, but I
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: used to go. I lived in an area where there
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: were three costcos and I'd go to all three during
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: the afternoon on Saturday and get samples, and I'd make
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: my way around until they got tired of me, and
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: then I'd move on to the next Costco. And then
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: I had three costcos. I'd eat my lunch right there
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: was perfect, all right? Next up we JT. The Wingman
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: somewhere in the Smoky Mountains. You're gonna see JT. The Wingman, Robbie, He's.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Gonna he was at the City one, right, yeah.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah he was there.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: One of the more energetic people I ever met. He
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: was like, yeah, he was great.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: So yeah, he's gonna be at the one in Vegas,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: he says. And Hopper selection. As I was, as I
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: was walking this morning, watching the thunderstorm brewing over the
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Smoky Mountains, I couldn't help but wonder when is the
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: last time that you went swimming in a lake? Wow?
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: I spend since I was a kid.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say high school maybe.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't really have a lot of lakes I
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: go to, so I don't go in the ocean. I
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: don't I swim in the pool. That's about it. I'm
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: a pool guy anyway. JT says, I grew up a
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: bit spoiled by my grandparents had a cottage in Milwaukee Lake,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: just west of Milwaukee, and I spent a lot of
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: weekends in summer swimming, playing croquet and charts lawn darts.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Great memories for me from JT the Wingman, He says,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: there should be some items from mister Irrigation arriving with
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: me at the meet and greet next week. See you soon.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: All right, how about that JTV the Wingman, He says,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: somewhere again in these smoky, smoky mounts, the oh, there's
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: more lakes in Wisconsin than there are in Minnesota. There's
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: a fun fact for you.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: The Wisconsin Minnesota for like, I don't know why, but
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: you know, I feel like Minnesota's they almost imply they
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: have the most lakes.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Well, I say, the Land of ten Thousand lakes. Wisconsin
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: has technically more lakes in Minnesota. They don't brag about it.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: They're not as braggadocia they should.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: I think you could start a little rivalry.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Sure, A bill from Atlanta writes, and he says, ben,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: I saw this on the news this week. How often
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: do you go to Venice Beach? Is it really that bad?
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: And then he I guess this story ran that. This
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: is from the New York Post. Venice Beach in Los
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Angeles named the world's dirtiest beach in a new complaint
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: based ranking highlighted in the New York Post. There study
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: conducted analyzed travel websites two hundred beaches worldwide, tracking complaint
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: terms involving cleanliness, overcrowding, a noise. Venice Beach scored eighty
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: nine point seven out of one hundred, and that was
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: second behind why Key Key Beach, which scored one hundred,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: although when you add in the cleanliness complaints, Venice is
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: number one, number one spot worldwide. Sixty percent of the
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: complaints involved poor cleanliness. Yeah, it's disgusting. Waikiki's disgusting. Also,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: it's terrible. The thing about waiki Ki is I it
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: was last day when I got married. We flew in
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: there and we stopped. We spent a night because the
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: plane got diverted. It's a long story. We're supposed to
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: go to Kawahi. We stopped, spend the night, and you
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: walk around Waikiki, you might as well be in San
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Francisco or LA or Seattle or Portland. It's all crackheads.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: And really I didn't know who. I didn't know there
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: was islands and why they did that.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Well, just Honolulu, that's it. It's the big city there,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: the big ice scrapers and all that, and Waikiki Beach
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: is not bad, but just behind it's terrible. And I
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: haven't been to Venice Beach in years. The rule was
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: always I had friends or family that would come to
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: LA and you always do the tourist stuff, so you'd
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: take them to Venice Beach. And it's good people watching, Bill,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: it's pretty unsafe if you don't know what you're doing.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: It's a lot. There's a lot of shady characters down there.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: The people watching is outstanding, though. It's it really is
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: like if you were to go to the San Diego
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Zoo and just have human beings in the cages that
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: would be that Javon and Phoenix writes and he says,
