Speaker 1 (00:03):
Kabooms.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
In the A mywhere The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Maller and Danny g Radio Happy Sunday. We have all
made it here to the twenty eighth day of April.
No NFL draft today, that is all dun skis and
we've got NBA playoff action.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
What is still wrong with the Clippers? How dare you?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
And who knows what else on this podcast. It's a
mail bag day, Danny and I don't want to waste
any time. We have a lot of email this week,
a lot of questions from pod listeners, So let's get
the party started. What do you say? It's a man
(01:27):
who we do not pay, but loves this podcast so
much and has the gift of musical ability that he
shares that with us. And thank you Ohio. So these
are actual questions sent in by actual listeners for the show.
First one, it's a kind of a hybrid question from
(01:49):
Dave in Chicago. He says, Guys, I enjoy the podcast,
would you ever take a page out of the Bears
playbook and bring in a past or to get more
people to listen to the podcast here on Sundays. So, Danny,
I don't know if you saw this or not. I
(02:10):
think what he's Dave is referencing is the Chicago Bears.
I mentioned this on the Overnight show briefly. I did
not spend a lot of time on it. But the
Bears trying to get over two billion dollars in public money,
and so they brought a pastor in to try to
con essentially pray on getting the money the way it
(02:32):
was implied. And I saw a little clip online and
so some people in Chicago are really upset about that,
like what are you doing? This is you're mixing religion
and panhandling. I mean, you're trying to fleece the people
of Chicago. So it was kind of it was not
because you don't really need to do that anyway. It's
taxpayer money. It's up to the politicians. Normally, the way
(02:53):
that works, as I understand it, you just pay off
the politicians and then they give you the taxpayers money
and you get them free tickets to whatever you're headling.
And that's how that works.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
So you know who else is getting ripped off? Here
the guy who designed the inside of the Raiders new
Las Vegas Stadium. See the side by side the sketches
of what they want the new Chicago Stadium to look like.
It looks like identical to the Vegas Stadium, with.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
The small exception of the skyline of Chicago being out
instead of the Vegas strip. But yeah, yeah, it was.
It's like the Athletics Stadium in Vegas. They tried. They
were like, well, it's gonna be crazy, but it's mimicked
after that famous building in Australia. The is it the
Opera House in Australia or something like that. That yeah,
(03:43):
famous building anyway, No, Dave, I think we're good on that. Jesus,
We're okay. Let's see who else do we have. We
have Jay in Philadelphia, says Ben and Danny Big Ben.
I know your birthday is coming up this week. Do
you have any nuggets of wisdom you would like to
share with us. P Ones No, No, I can give
(04:11):
you some of my favorite quotes that have inspired me
in my life. I've talked about a few of these.
I guess, I just I don't know wisdom. You're turning
to a podcaster who does a weekend podcast with you know,
not that that's bad and an overnight show for wisdom. But
my favorite quotes, Jay, My favorite all time quote is
(04:34):
from W. C. Fields, an old Hollywood, early Hollywood, old
dude long dead, and his quote was, if you can't
dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit and that
I love that quote. I think that's that's amazing and
wonderful and all that. So that would be one. And
(04:54):
then on a more serious note, I do like the
Eleanor Roosevelt quote that today is the oldest you've ever
been and the youngest you'll ever be again. I think
that's a good one, and I guess in wisdom, just
the fact you learn as you get older, Danny, that
the most valuable commodity that you have is time. That's
(05:18):
the most precious thing, and everything else you know, get
more of or whatever.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Who cares? Ben, I think Chewbacca said it best.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Anyway, that's a weird question, Jay, but thank you appreciate that.
Alf From the ticket window at Hinsdale Greyhound Park, he says,
have you ever been to a dog track? No? No,
we live in California. When were dog tracks outlawed in California? Danny?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
How long ago? You think? The eighties?
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Before you and I could gamble or we're old enough
to have our own money.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah, I don't ever recall a dog track in California.
I do recall, not that I went. But Jack, the judge,
he used to go to the dog track and he'd
call us up on his way to the dog track.
But let me see, I'm gonna do a search here.
You're talking amongst yourself here, let me do a little search.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yeah, I was doing the same thing. Nineteen thirty nine.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
California declared dog racing illegal at nineteen thirty nine.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Really that long ago, yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Says since the track at Bayshore City.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Has there been a place in California that had dog racing?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Okay? Interesting? Did the dogs know they're racing?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Though?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
The greyhounds?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Are they aware? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Uh, see West Virginia. I'm looking at places, there's a
lot of closed tracks. As of twenty twenty four, there
are only two active greyhound racetracks in the entire United States,
both in the state of West Virginia. Let's hear it
for Virginia. They love their dogs, unless they don't Delaware,
(07:04):
North Wheeling Island Hotel Casino Racetrack. Okay, so there's there's
a couple there. In addition to West Virginia, live greyhound
racing is still legal but not currently practiced in the
states of Arkansas, Alabama, Texas, Kansas, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Connecticut.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
So I think it's cool when people save those racing
dogs after they're done with their career.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Does Michael Vick go to the truck? You think he's
ever in West Virginia goes.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
To the truck, Michael big joke was coming.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Low hanging fruit, which is the most delicious. I remember
somebody from the company went to vacation in Mexico and
they left a pamphlet on cock fighting. They went to
a cock fight. I was attracted to the giant metal cock.
Not attractive supply company cock. This was the real deal.
(08:01):
And they left this pamphlet from the arena where you
could see the cocks fighting the other cocks in the
in the arena. So I still remember that it's legal
in Mexico. I don't think he's even legal everywhere in
Mexico cock fighting. But West Virginia the only only state.
You'd think there'd be some. In Alabama or South Carolina
(08:25):
where I'm going, you'd think there'd be some.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
But no, dare you? Yeah? And they don't have dukes
of hazard cars anymore either.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
You got rid of those?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Man?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
What a bummer racist? All right? Scott in Northern Kentucky
right since says, unfortunately, I am at an age where
I need to get a colonoscopy next week you get
away from me. Yeah, have either of you had to
do this yet? If so, how is the experience?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Not?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Exactly? Looking forward to it? On another note, I just
wanted you to both know how much the pod and
the Daily Show is appreciated. I've been going through a
lot rough patch and whatnot, as we all do from
time to time. And he says he spent a lot
of time with the pod, and he said bright Spot, well,
thank you. It cheers him up, so hopefully things will
(09:12):
be better. I have not had one. I'm getting close
to the age where I need to have one, Dan,
have you had a colonoscopy before.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
When you're in your late forties now they suggest it.
My doctor talked to me about it at my last checkup.
I want to say, it was just a few months back,
and I convinced her to let me go the cola
guard route where you send some pooh in the mail.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
It was great to see pooh Oh. You had to
like you had to go fishing for the pooh, that
kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
It comes in this kit and you put the plastic
thing in the potty and then you poo into it.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Okay, all right, I guess Scott can't do that.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
I guess, well you can if you tell your doctor
look so busy with my schedule. I don't have time
for your nonsense. With that, you know, putting me under
and all that stuff. There's no one to be at
my job. We can even fill in for me, and
then she'll let you or he'll let you do the
cola guard.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Oh okay, all right, well that'd be the way to go.
Then good luck with that. Scott, probably too late for
you to do what Danny did. But he also says, Ben,
if you had eaten Rocky Mountain oysters in a restaurant
as I had to try with some friends while in Denver.
It wouldn't have been as bad as that jerky. They
(10:34):
were deep fried, sliced with a dipping sauce, basically tasted
like nothing. Scott says, yeah, well, what I had was disgusting,
and that dope Eddie Garcia and Cooper Loop and all
those guys were giving me a hard time when they
wouldn't even eat it because it was disgusting holding ball,
touching balls, you name it. I had a lot of balls,
(10:57):
and I was clearly edited. And if you watch the
video of me eating the Rocky Mountain oysters, it was
horrible and I wasn't acting at all. It was literally disgusting,
but I did it because I lost the bet loser anyway,
Hillbilly Mike writes in He says, hey, Ben and Danny,
(11:22):
my wife and I are dog people, as I know
you are, but if we were going to get a cat,
it would have to be a main coon. Pretty cool
monster cat. Have you seen this, Danny? I look this
thing up.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Oh yeah, these cats are huge, or they can be.
There's also some smaller ones, but yeah, the huge ones
are ridiculous. There's pictures all over the internet where the
owner is holding looks like a big wild animal, but
it's a domestic cat.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Did they follow the other domestic cats?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Can?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Did they poop into the sand and all that like
the other cats?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
You mean the litter? Yeah, the litter.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
They probably do poop and sandboxes too, if you let
them outside. But it's an exotic cat, you probably don't
want to let it go outside.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Somebody would steal it.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
How big do they get?
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Google large Maine coon?
Speaker 4 (12:14):
All right, and right away you'll see the picture of
that lady holding the big white main coon.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Racist. Yeah, I think it's pretty big. Is she smaller?
Is the cat? That big?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Cat? Big?
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Look at the picture right next to that. It's just
about as tall as him.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
That's crazy. Let's see the size of these things, says
the height of the adults can vary by ten and
sixteen inches the weight. This is not good. The Guinness
World Record for a male purebred Maine coon named Stewie
(12:54):
as the longest cat, measured at forty eight and a
half inches, tipped the nose. STU He's dead. So as
of a few years back, there was one that was
forty five point forty six point five inches in the UK. Yeah,
this is a massive man. Do you have a cat?
(13:16):
You had a cat before? Do you still have your cat?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:18):
I still have Mac in fact, as I'm recording on
this early morning, running around in circles right by my feet.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Oh, he's keeping you company.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
He's my Bella.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Okay, well bellis you know bellas Bella?
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I know the way she used to podcast with you. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Yeah, she would hang out with me. The dogs Now, yeah,
I can't do it because Luigi would jump everywhere and
then Moxie bulldogs are always huffing like they're about to die.
So it's it's a little tough, he says. Y'all check
them out. Tell us what either you would go that
route or not. Also, there aren't your tip. These aren't
(13:56):
your typical come get your free kitten cat. They definitely
put a dent in your wallet.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
How much those things go for? Ye?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Well, Mac is an American short hair, silver and black.
You've seen pictures of him, and he was thirteen hundred.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Bucks spicy man.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Okay, I did a payment plan. I paid for him
in two parts.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Wow, but how long do those cats live.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
His breed lives for a while.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
He's not one of those exotic animals that is in
danger of having an early death due to health issues.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Well that's all so yeah, Yeah, the baby be all
grown up and the cat will still be around. That
kind of thing, like in high school.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
The cat.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Yeah, well, he's eight years old right now and he's
in good health. The cool thing about cats if you
take really good care of them. Like my aunt, she
had a cat that lived to be twenty two.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Yeah, cats can live a long time if you take
really good care of them.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Generation Generation Mike and Fullerton, writes into the mailbag. He says, Hey, Ben, Ben,
and Jerry, last week's thrilling twenty six Fullerton fun Facts.
Have either of you made plans to visit the city
in the near future, Danny, or are you gonna on
one of these weekends you're gonna take the missus out
the Fullerton to enjoy the train station or anything like that.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
No, Well, I had never thought about visiting Fullerton on
a weekend until you read some of those fun facts.
Because there's free parking and the trees have taken over
the downtown.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
We're thinking about going.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, it's really what everyone should be doing. He also
says our friend Mike, He says, why are you still saying, Ben,
winter is coming in your tire rack commercials? Winter just ended?
Should I be thinking about buying a new set of
snow tires this far ahead of time? Yeah, Mike. The
(15:47):
reason for that is somebody fed up and didn't take
the commercial out of circulation. I don't know where you
heard that, but I've changed the copy. Mike. I don't
know why that is still playing. That should not be
still playing.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
That is the same thing we kept getting about Gagon
being in the promo. It's not that it hadn't been
updated to where you didn't say Gagon's name anymore.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
It's that the wrong thing was in circulation.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yeah, somebody is guilty of malpractice, of malfeasans and not
doing their job. And I have no idea. I don't know.
There's a lot of layers to the cake, a lot
of layers of the cake, so I'm not sure who.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Yeah, And a lot of it is either, you know,
related to sales executives, people who we don't talk to,
that we don't work with.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Yeah, we have nothing to do, nothing to do with
these people. Nick and wisconsint right since sys Ben and
mister g so I had a really good question the
other day and forgot to email it in. Well, that
doesn't do us any good, Nick, He says that being said,
how often do you forget what you want to say
or do? Example, you walk into the kitchen and forget
(17:01):
what you went there for. He says, Also, I'll do
better next time, And no, would you rather this week
because that guy tried to steal my bit a couple
of weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Haboutatorial Nick is not.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Nick's not one to hold a grudge at all.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I respect that.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Yeah, so, Danny, have you had any instances we're getting
to the age now where we forget things. Have you
does that happened to you? Have you forgotten things when
you walk into a room, like why.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Am I here? No?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
I can honestly say that that's not happened to me
at this point.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah. Sometimes, if I'm really tired, it'll it'll happen. But
it's not something that's irregular becurs, at least not something
that I notice. And I'm pretty pretty over the top
on keeping track of my wallet, my phone, and my
keys because I lost my wallet a couple of times,
(18:03):
So now I always triple check everywhere I go. Mike
from so Cow writs in thanks Nick, but Mike, and
Solcu writes and it says Ben and Danny, did you
guys see this? And he sent me a link here
Danny to a William Shatner story, our old buddy Shatner, who's.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yea with just Shatt's birthday. I'm in command.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Under it says under fire for AI generated album cover.
Did you see this at all? Now? Yeah, says actor
William Shatner. He sent out a copy of his new
album Sunday. I guess this is last weekend, and it
was called where will the Animals Sleep? And fine, whatever,
(18:48):
but it appeared they had an AI generated cover piece
of artwork for the album, and people lost their mind.
They lost their mind and saying Shatner, it's gross and
he's not supporting actual artists and he's just using AI
and all, and so they were killing Shatner for this.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I would normally say, at his age, Shatner does not
see that feedback. But we know that Shatner spends a
lot of time a lot of time on social media,
so the chances of him not seeing it are slim
and none, and these people complain. Of course we should
point out Danny as we know, and Mike, thank you
for sending that. In all. Social media exists for people
(19:34):
to complain. That's it. It exists for people to bellyate
that things aren't good enough. They're not there's something wrong here,
there and everywhere. Rights, that's why social media exists. I'm
convinced of it. Prove me wrong.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
I think the real story here out of this is
that he's still releasing albums.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
What the hell he's by board?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
He's probably like, ah, it's screw it. I got nothing
else going on?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Ninety four years old?
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Is he ninety four?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Really? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (20:04):
He had a birthdate just a few days ago. And
I'm looking at that album cover right now. Boy, who
cares that it was AI generated? You should just care
that the album cover stinks.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Yeah, it looks like shit, Like, why would you send
that out? You're William Shatner, You're an American icon in entertainment,
that's what you could. I mean, he probably had nothing
to do with it, but come on, what is next
on the mail bag? Daddy G and Big Ben Reggie
from the Bay rights in. He says, oh, this is
(20:39):
going to annoy Nick and Wisconsin. He says, what if
you could make one gross habit acceptable, which one would
you choose? He says, this is for both of us.
I kind of assumed that, Reggie, you didn't need to
put that in there. I kind of assumed it was
for both of us. So what is something that people
considered gross that we could make I guess socially acceptable?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I got it. Grabbing women's behind I like big butts.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I cannot lie. Well in some countries that is allowed,
I think, but yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Be allowed in ours in the mad Men days.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Yeah, for sure. Uh what do you think?
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Yeah, by the way, I would do that. Just don't
don't cancel me. Please?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
How about picking boogers? Did you ever get like a
like a booger?
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Oh no, and that wouldn't How could you make that okay?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Well, if the Reggie asked a question, if you could
make one gross habit acceptable? You know, sometimes you're going no, no,
bear with me, let me explain. May make my elevator pitch.
So occasionally you'll be out walking around somewhere and you'll,
you know, how you kind of get that that a
(22:00):
weird misplaced booger, that kind of pops out of nowhere
and you want to get rid of it.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Yeah, but you get a tissue and you discreetly do
it that way, you don't jam your finger up your nose.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Well no, I mean I realized that. But I'm saying,
if you could make it just easier, we just shove
your finger all the way up your nostril and just
pick that giant green booger out of your nose.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Eamn.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Wait appropriate, of course, Danny that when it's not appropriate,
one appropriate? Like what would be wrong with that? And
it would be acceptable. People wouldn't look down upon you,
they wouldn't shame me. Or how about this one? Picking
away dead skin? People get very uncomfortable with that. I've
had a lot of blisters on my feet over the years,
and so I have a lot of dead skins. So
if I pick it away, Like, what's the problem with that?
(22:44):
Why would you have a problem with that?
Speaker 3 (22:47):
No?
Speaker 4 (22:49):
I mean, I just I you know, I worked with kids,
and I saw so many kids eat their boogers.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
It just grosses me up.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I'm not saying eat your boogers.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Oh okay, just get it out of the nose.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Just gonna pick a winner and go there.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Well, a little bit of a germophobe too, So I
don't like seeing people like use the restroom and walk
out without washing their hands. So when they're jamming fingers
in the nose and then you see people eating the boogers,
that grosses me out because of the germs. Also, so
if you put some hand sanitizer on first, got the
booger out, put it in a Kleenex, then used hand
(23:23):
sanitizer again, I think I could be okay with that.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Maybe what am I doing this podcast with Jonas Knox now?
Is that what happened? Jonahs are doing a pod together?
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Wow, you did accidentally call me Jonas Knox on a
podcast a few weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Yeah, well that's because I was on some meds. That's
why I'm on drugs right now. Man, But you didn't
come up with one gross sevent There's nothing that people
think is gross that you do.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
You're I mean, yeah, I try not to be gross.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
I mean, especially like once you get to the age
where you start dating, you know, and you're around females,
you put the gross stuff aside, and you're like, man,
I can't fart around a girl. I can't belch I
can't you know, itch my butt. I can't do any
gross mannerisms because I'm around a female. Now, I can't
(24:17):
do that and be slick. So early on, no, I
put the gross stuff out of the equation.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Well that is true. However, once you're with a woman
for a while, then no, no, still don't the guardrails
go down.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
No, never, like like my wifey, I don't fart or
burpen in front of her or none of that. I've
never done that with a girlfriend or now a wife.
It stays the same. You don't do that gross stuff
in front of them.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Well, I don't intentionally do it, but sometimes my wife
I thought I was outside, I was out. In fact,
I was outside, but I thought she wasn't around, and
so I let one rip and she happened to be
behind me. I didn't realize awkward Ian in Indie rights
in on the mail bag. And by the way, if
you would like to send a mailbag question, you don't
have to wait for us. In fact, I didn't even
(25:09):
post it on Facebook. I stopped doing that. We have
enough people that listen to this podcast every week that
I don't even need to do that. Sometimes I still will,
but you can just send a question in to the
mail bag Real fifth hour at gmail dot com. Real
fifth hour at gmail dot com. Ian In Indie rights
in and says, here we go again. It must be
(25:32):
a full moon. There was a full moon this week.
That's why. What if you could take a pill and
make your farts smell like a more pleasant scent? Would
you take it? So that's another what if? That's back
to back what if questions? Would you take a pill, Danny?
And what smell? Would you want your farts to smell
(25:53):
like your flatchlets? What would you want, Danny? Like roses?
Would you like?
Speaker 4 (25:57):
It's funny you say roses because one of the things,
as my stepdad was famous for saying, after he blew
the bathroom up, he would walk out and he would
make an announcement, Ah, smells like roses in there.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Now that now you probably understand why I don't like grossness.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
No, no, here I would go. You know, I'll go cinnamon.
If I could fart cinnamon. Cinnamon's good, It's soothing. I
would love to fart lavender. Oh, that'd be so nice.
Everyone want to hang out with you, boy, Danny, You
better eat some drink some soda and eat some beans
(26:39):
so we can get some nice lavender smell. Okay, knock
it out. What is that?
Speaker 4 (26:44):
For some reason all these autistic kids would be following me?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
What?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Oh, this is a great one. Sarah from Florida Wrights
and says, say Been and Danny, what slumlord runs your building?
Why do you guys have to work in a cockroach
filled studio? Do you guys have an exterminator you can call?
Speaker 3 (27:03):
You know?
Speaker 4 (27:03):
This is where Lorena is inexperience with FSR really shows,
you know, her work performance doesn't show her in anexperience.
But she doesn't know the history of our building, and
she should have mentioned that in her post showing that
big kukaracha Ben. You and I both know that it
used to be a Denny's yep, so obviously there's gonna
(27:26):
be cockroaches.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Yeah, you would think after twenty years the cockroaches would
have realized the Grand Slam Breakfast is not coming back.
But they they're still there. They're still waiting, they're holding
out hope.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
How many generations of cockroaches?
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Now?
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Oh, I we mentioned like we're probably on like the
I don't know how long they live, but we're probably
on like one hundred generations or something like that. And
the thing that pissed me off, Danny, that no fun,
Guy Garcia. And I'll tell Sarah too since she's listening.
The thing we had this idea, me and Loraina. I
thought this was a great idea, And tell me what
you think about this. Let me run this by you.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Cockroach racing, No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
We would get a little you know those like rat
glass cases, and we would get a couple of pet
cockroaches as the mascots of Fox Sports Radio, and we'd
feed them, because the great thing about having a pet cockroaches,
they'll lead anything.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
I feel like our bosses might frown on that idea.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Oh maybe that would inspire them to get rid of
the cockroaches, but whatever. And so I was like, we'll
do it. I'll spend the money, I'll go out and
get the thing and we'll find I don't know where
we find the cockroaches, just cut into the wall or
walk around when we're on the air when they're all
running around.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
There was a guy walking around spreading the other day,
and they have those traps that are laid out.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
So they're spending money on it.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Very effective, unless it's not so anyway, I just get
a couple of cockroaches and we'd put them in the
glass container, and then we'd have those be theF and
we'd name them contests, like the NHL team in Utah,
and it would be wonderful.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
So and then I would name mine Chewi.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
I ran it by Eddie and Eddie was, oh, no,
you can't do that.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
What would you name your pet cockroach?
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I would look, I'm a man of the people, Danny,
so I would allow the people to name the cockroach
for me.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
That means you do one of your famous polls on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Why not that that would be uh. I might name
it Bobby Cockerroach or Brian Cockerroach in honor. I guess
I could do Brian cock Roach. That's our old guy
that used to work here. You'll j from Duluth. We'll
get out on this jay from the luth right, So,
he says, Ben, I love the show, listen every day
(29:46):
all four hours. I have an idea for the show,
He says, how about during the Sunday in the Monday show,
you do a call out to a former caller to
the show that we have not heard from in a
while to see if they can call in. You can
give them a whole week to do so. So he
wants to hear some old old callers. He says, you've
got a good show, the greatest show.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
He says, Oh, so you'd like page an old listener,
like paging weed man, hippie.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Oh, he came back on Friday. He'd get back on Friday.
He got released from jail. He spent two months in
jail on a trespassing charge in Miami. He spent in jail.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
I can't believe it.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
I'm like, weed Man, why were you in jail for?
He says, the longest he's ever been in jail. And
we were shocked he got out. We didn't know he
got out. And then I asked him for his number.
He's like, I don't know my number. And then he
said he was in jail for two months because he
had three warrants out for his arrest on other trespassing charges.
(30:48):
So the bad news is he had warrants out for
his arrest. The good news is now that he's done
all of the time in jail, I guess he's got
no more warrants, So he's good. So you don't have
to worry about it anymore. But he's gonna likely get
arrested again within the next week and he'll be back
in jail. But he is back. But thank you for listening. Jay,
(31:09):
and I don't know if we'll do exactly what you're saying,
but from time to time we can say, hey, we
haven't heard from somebody for a while, why not it
is Sunday. I will be back tonight on this Sunday
into a Monday with a new radio show as we
talk about the NBA playoffs, we'll recap a look at
the NFL Draft, some of the big storylines from that
(31:32):
that are still in play and whatever else pops up.
Anything you would like to promote, Danny, this would be
your time right here.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
What do you got? I got nothing to promote me? No,
you know what? I take that back, Ben, how about.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
You had nothing you saith? God is over nonetheless again.
I'll be back tonight. Don't forget the Friday Pod if
you missed it, Malord Meet and Green. I'm gonna start
promoting it on the the old original Recipe radio show
this week. But if you want get if you want
(32:07):
that information, first Friday Podcast, Malard meet and greet below
the Mason Dixon line, so check that out. I have
a wonderful rest of your weekend. It's coming to an
end soon. We'll talk to you next time. Austa Pasta
got a murder.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
I gotta go.
Kabooms.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
In the A mywhere The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Maller and Danny g Radio Happy Sunday. We have all
made it here to the twenty eighth day of April.
No NFL draft today, that is all dun skis and
we've got NBA playoff action.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
What is still wrong with the Clippers? How dare you?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
And who knows what else on this podcast. It's a
mail bag day, Danny and I don't want to waste
any time. We have a lot of email this week,
a lot of questions from pod listeners, So let's get
the party started. What do you say? It's a man
(01:27):
who we do not pay, but loves this podcast so
much and has the gift of musical ability that he
shares that with us. And thank you Ohio. So these
are actual questions sent in by actual listeners for the show.
First one, it's a kind of a hybrid question from
(01:49):
Dave in Chicago. He says, Guys, I enjoy the podcast,
would you ever take a page out of the Bears
playbook and bring in a past or to get more
people to listen to the podcast here on Sundays. So, Danny,
I don't know if you saw this or not. I
(02:10):
think what he's Dave is referencing is the Chicago Bears.
I mentioned this on the Overnight show briefly. I did
not spend a lot of time on it. But the
Bears trying to get over two billion dollars in public money,
and so they brought a pastor in to try to
con essentially pray on getting the money the way it
(02:32):
was implied. And I saw a little clip online and
so some people in Chicago are really upset about that,
like what are you doing? This is you're mixing religion
and panhandling. I mean, you're trying to fleece the people
of Chicago. So it was kind of it was not
because you don't really need to do that anyway. It's
taxpayer money. It's up to the politicians. Normally, the way
(02:53):
that works, as I understand it, you just pay off
the politicians and then they give you the taxpayers money
and you get them free tickets to whatever you're headling.
And that's how that works.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
So you know who else is getting ripped off? Here
the guy who designed the inside of the Raiders new
Las Vegas Stadium. See the side by side the sketches
of what they want the new Chicago Stadium to look like.
It looks like identical to the Vegas Stadium, with.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
The small exception of the skyline of Chicago being out
instead of the Vegas strip. But yeah, yeah, it was.
It's like the Athletics Stadium in Vegas. They tried. They
were like, well, it's gonna be crazy, but it's mimicked
after that famous building in Australia. The is it the
Opera House in Australia or something like that. That yeah,
(03:43):
famous building anyway, No, Dave, I think we're good on that. Jesus,
We're okay. Let's see who else do we have. We
have Jay in Philadelphia, says Ben and Danny Big Ben.
I know your birthday is coming up this week. Do
you have any nuggets of wisdom you would like to
share with us. P Ones No, No, I can give
(04:11):
you some of my favorite quotes that have inspired me
in my life. I've talked about a few of these.
I guess, I just I don't know wisdom. You're turning
to a podcaster who does a weekend podcast with you know,
not that that's bad and an overnight show for wisdom. But
my favorite quotes, Jay, My favorite all time quote is
(04:34):
from W. C. Fields, an old Hollywood, early Hollywood, old
dude long dead, and his quote was, if you can't
dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit and that
I love that quote. I think that's that's amazing and
wonderful and all that. So that would be one. And
(04:54):
then on a more serious note, I do like the
Eleanor Roosevelt quote that today is the oldest you've ever
been and the youngest you'll ever be again. I think
that's a good one, and I guess in wisdom, just
the fact you learn as you get older, Danny, that
the most valuable commodity that you have is time. That's
(05:18):
the most precious thing, and everything else you know, get
more of or whatever.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Who cares? Ben, I think Chewbacca said it best.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Anyway, that's a weird question, Jay, but thank you appreciate that.
Alf From the ticket window at Hinsdale Greyhound Park, he says,
have you ever been to a dog track? No? No,
we live in California. When were dog tracks outlawed in California? Danny?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
How long ago? You think? The eighties?
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Before you and I could gamble or we're old enough
to have our own money.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah, I don't ever recall a dog track in California.
I do recall, not that I went. But Jack, the judge,
he used to go to the dog track and he'd
call us up on his way to the dog track.
But let me see, I'm gonna do a search here.
You're talking amongst yourself here, let me do a little search.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yeah, I was doing the same thing. Nineteen thirty nine.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
California declared dog racing illegal at nineteen thirty nine.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Really that long ago, yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Says since the track at Bayshore City.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Has there been a place in California that had dog racing?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Okay? Interesting? Did the dogs know they're racing?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Though?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
The greyhounds?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Are they aware? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Uh, see West Virginia. I'm looking at places, there's a
lot of closed tracks. As of twenty twenty four, there
are only two active greyhound racetracks in the entire United States,
both in the state of West Virginia. Let's hear it
for Virginia. They love their dogs, unless they don't Delaware,
(07:04):
North Wheeling Island Hotel Casino Racetrack. Okay, so there's there's
a couple there. In addition to West Virginia, live greyhound
racing is still legal but not currently practiced in the
states of Arkansas, Alabama, Texas, Kansas, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Connecticut.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
So I think it's cool when people save those racing
dogs after they're done with their career.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Does Michael Vick go to the truck? You think he's
ever in West Virginia goes.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
To the truck, Michael big joke was coming.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Low hanging fruit, which is the most delicious. I remember
somebody from the company went to vacation in Mexico and
they left a pamphlet on cock fighting. They went to
a cock fight. I was attracted to the giant metal cock.
Not attractive supply company cock. This was the real deal.
(08:01):
And they left this pamphlet from the arena where you
could see the cocks fighting the other cocks in the
in the arena. So I still remember that it's legal
in Mexico. I don't think he's even legal everywhere in
Mexico cock fighting. But West Virginia the only only state.
You'd think there'd be some. In Alabama or South Carolina
(08:25):
where I'm going, you'd think there'd be some.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
But no, dare you? Yeah? And they don't have dukes
of hazard cars anymore either.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
You got rid of those?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Man?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
What a bummer racist? All right? Scott in Northern Kentucky
right since says, unfortunately, I am at an age where
I need to get a colonoscopy next week you get
away from me. Yeah, have either of you had to
do this yet? If so, how is the experience?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Not?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Exactly? Looking forward to it? On another note, I just
wanted you to both know how much the pod and
the Daily Show is appreciated. I've been going through a
lot rough patch and whatnot, as we all do from
time to time. And he says he spent a lot
of time with the pod, and he said bright Spot, well,
thank you. It cheers him up, so hopefully things will
(09:12):
be better. I have not had one. I'm getting close
to the age where I need to have one, Dan,
have you had a colonoscopy before.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
When you're in your late forties now they suggest it.
My doctor talked to me about it at my last checkup.
I want to say, it was just a few months back,
and I convinced her to let me go the cola
guard route where you send some pooh in the mail.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
It was great to see pooh Oh. You had to
like you had to go fishing for the pooh, that
kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
It comes in this kit and you put the plastic
thing in the potty and then you poo into it.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Okay, all right, I guess Scott can't do that.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
I guess, well you can if you tell your doctor
look so busy with my schedule. I don't have time
for your nonsense. With that, you know, putting me under
and all that stuff. There's no one to be at
my job. We can even fill in for me, and
then she'll let you or he'll let you do the
cola guard.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Oh okay, all right, well that'd be the way to go.
Then good luck with that. Scott, probably too late for
you to do what Danny did. But he also says, Ben,
if you had eaten Rocky Mountain oysters in a restaurant
as I had to try with some friends while in Denver.
It wouldn't have been as bad as that jerky. They
(10:34):
were deep fried, sliced with a dipping sauce, basically tasted
like nothing. Scott says, yeah, well, what I had was disgusting,
and that dope Eddie Garcia and Cooper Loop and all
those guys were giving me a hard time when they
wouldn't even eat it because it was disgusting holding ball,
touching balls, you name it. I had a lot of balls,
(10:57):
and I was clearly edited. And if you watch the
video of me eating the Rocky Mountain oysters, it was
horrible and I wasn't acting at all. It was literally disgusting,
but I did it because I lost the bet loser anyway,
Hillbilly Mike writes in He says, hey, Ben and Danny,
(11:22):
my wife and I are dog people, as I know
you are, but if we were going to get a cat,
it would have to be a main coon. Pretty cool
monster cat. Have you seen this, Danny? I look this
thing up.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Oh yeah, these cats are huge, or they can be.
There's also some smaller ones, but yeah, the huge ones
are ridiculous. There's pictures all over the internet where the
owner is holding looks like a big wild animal, but
it's a domestic cat.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Did they follow the other domestic cats?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Can?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Did they poop into the sand and all that like
the other cats?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
You mean the litter? Yeah, the litter.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
They probably do poop and sandboxes too, if you let
them outside. But it's an exotic cat, you probably don't
want to let it go outside.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Somebody would steal it.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
How big do they get?
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Google large Maine coon?
Speaker 4 (12:14):
All right, and right away you'll see the picture of
that lady holding the big white main coon.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Racist. Yeah, I think it's pretty big. Is she smaller?
Is the cat? That big?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Cat? Big?
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Look at the picture right next to that. It's just
about as tall as him.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
That's crazy. Let's see the size of these things, says
the height of the adults can vary by ten and
sixteen inches the weight. This is not good. The Guinness
World Record for a male purebred Maine coon named Stewie
(12:54):
as the longest cat, measured at forty eight and a
half inches, tipped the nose. STU He's dead. So as
of a few years back, there was one that was
forty five point forty six point five inches in the UK. Yeah,
this is a massive man. Do you have a cat?
(13:16):
You had a cat before? Do you still have your cat?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:18):
I still have Mac in fact, as I'm recording on
this early morning, running around in circles right by my feet.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Oh, he's keeping you company.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
He's my Bella.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Okay, well bellis you know bellas Bella?
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I know the way she used to podcast with you. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Yeah, she would hang out with me. The dogs Now, yeah,
I can't do it because Luigi would jump everywhere and
then Moxie bulldogs are always huffing like they're about to die.
So it's it's a little tough, he says. Y'all check
them out. Tell us what either you would go that
route or not. Also, there aren't your tip. These aren't
(13:56):
your typical come get your free kitten cat. They definitely
put a dent in your wallet.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
How much those things go for? Ye?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Well, Mac is an American short hair, silver and black.
You've seen pictures of him, and he was thirteen hundred.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Bucks spicy man.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Okay, I did a payment plan. I paid for him
in two parts.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Wow, but how long do those cats live.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
His breed lives for a while.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
He's not one of those exotic animals that is in
danger of having an early death due to health issues.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Well that's all so yeah, Yeah, the baby be all
grown up and the cat will still be around. That
kind of thing, like in high school.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
The cat.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Yeah, well, he's eight years old right now and he's
in good health. The cool thing about cats if you
take really good care of them. Like my aunt, she
had a cat that lived to be twenty two.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Yeah, cats can live a long time if you take
really good care of them.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Generation Generation Mike and Fullerton, writes into the mailbag. He says, Hey, Ben, Ben,
and Jerry, last week's thrilling twenty six Fullerton fun Facts.
Have either of you made plans to visit the city
in the near future, Danny, or are you gonna on
one of these weekends you're gonna take the missus out
the Fullerton to enjoy the train station or anything like that.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
No, Well, I had never thought about visiting Fullerton on
a weekend until you read some of those fun facts.
Because there's free parking and the trees have taken over
the downtown.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
We're thinking about going.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, it's really what everyone should be doing. He also
says our friend Mike, He says, why are you still saying, Ben,
winter is coming in your tire rack commercials? Winter just ended?
Should I be thinking about buying a new set of
snow tires this far ahead of time? Yeah, Mike. The
(15:47):
reason for that is somebody fed up and didn't take
the commercial out of circulation. I don't know where you
heard that, but I've changed the copy. Mike. I don't
know why that is still playing. That should not be
still playing.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
That is the same thing we kept getting about Gagon
being in the promo. It's not that it hadn't been
updated to where you didn't say Gagon's name anymore.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
It's that the wrong thing was in circulation.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yeah, somebody is guilty of malpractice, of malfeasans and not
doing their job. And I have no idea. I don't know.
There's a lot of layers to the cake, a lot
of layers of the cake, so I'm not sure who.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Yeah, And a lot of it is either, you know,
related to sales executives, people who we don't talk to,
that we don't work with.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Yeah, we have nothing to do, nothing to do with
these people. Nick and wisconsint right since sys Ben and
mister g so I had a really good question the
other day and forgot to email it in. Well, that
doesn't do us any good, Nick, He says that being said,
how often do you forget what you want to say
or do? Example, you walk into the kitchen and forget
(17:01):
what you went there for. He says, Also, I'll do
better next time, And no, would you rather this week
because that guy tried to steal my bit a couple
of weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Haboutatorial Nick is not.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Nick's not one to hold a grudge at all.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I respect that.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Yeah, so, Danny, have you had any instances we're getting
to the age now where we forget things. Have you
does that happened to you? Have you forgotten things when
you walk into a room, like why.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Am I here? No?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
I can honestly say that that's not happened to me
at this point.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah. Sometimes, if I'm really tired, it'll it'll happen. But
it's not something that's irregular becurs, at least not something
that I notice. And I'm pretty pretty over the top
on keeping track of my wallet, my phone, and my
keys because I lost my wallet a couple of times,
(18:03):
So now I always triple check everywhere I go. Mike
from so Cow writs in thanks Nick, but Mike, and
Solcu writes and it says Ben and Danny, did you
guys see this? And he sent me a link here
Danny to a William Shatner story, our old buddy Shatner, who's.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yea with just Shatt's birthday. I'm in command.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Under it says under fire for AI generated album cover.
Did you see this at all? Now? Yeah, says actor
William Shatner. He sent out a copy of his new
album Sunday. I guess this is last weekend, and it
was called where will the Animals Sleep? And fine, whatever,
(18:48):
but it appeared they had an AI generated cover piece
of artwork for the album, and people lost their mind.
They lost their mind and saying Shatner, it's gross and
he's not supporting actual artists and he's just using AI
and all, and so they were killing Shatner for this.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I would normally say, at his age, Shatner does not
see that feedback. But we know that Shatner spends a
lot of time a lot of time on social media,
so the chances of him not seeing it are slim
and none, and these people complain. Of course we should
point out Danny as we know, and Mike, thank you
for sending that. In all. Social media exists for people
(19:34):
to complain. That's it. It exists for people to bellyate
that things aren't good enough. They're not there's something wrong here,
there and everywhere. Rights, that's why social media exists. I'm
convinced of it. Prove me wrong.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
I think the real story here out of this is
that he's still releasing albums.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
What the hell he's by board?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
He's probably like, ah, it's screw it. I got nothing
else going on?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Ninety four years old?
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Is he ninety four?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Really? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (20:04):
He had a birthdate just a few days ago. And
I'm looking at that album cover right now. Boy, who
cares that it was AI generated? You should just care
that the album cover stinks.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Yeah, it looks like shit, Like, why would you send
that out? You're William Shatner, You're an American icon in entertainment,
that's what you could. I mean, he probably had nothing
to do with it, but come on, what is next
on the mail bag? Daddy G and Big Ben Reggie
from the Bay rights in. He says, oh, this is
(20:39):
going to annoy Nick and Wisconsin. He says, what if
you could make one gross habit acceptable, which one would
you choose? He says, this is for both of us.
I kind of assumed that, Reggie, you didn't need to
put that in there. I kind of assumed it was
for both of us. So what is something that people
considered gross that we could make I guess socially acceptable?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I got it. Grabbing women's behind I like big butts.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I cannot lie. Well in some countries that is allowed,
I think, but yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Be allowed in ours in the mad Men days.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Yeah, for sure. Uh what do you think?
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Yeah, by the way, I would do that. Just don't
don't cancel me. Please?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
How about picking boogers? Did you ever get like a
like a booger?
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Oh no, and that wouldn't How could you make that okay?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Well, if the Reggie asked a question, if you could
make one gross habit acceptable? You know, sometimes you're going no, no,
bear with me, let me explain. May make my elevator pitch.
So occasionally you'll be out walking around somewhere and you'll,
you know, how you kind of get that that a
(22:00):
weird misplaced booger, that kind of pops out of nowhere
and you want to get rid of it.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Yeah, but you get a tissue and you discreetly do
it that way, you don't jam your finger up your nose.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Well no, I mean I realized that. But I'm saying,
if you could make it just easier, we just shove
your finger all the way up your nostril and just
pick that giant green booger out of your nose.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Eamn.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Wait appropriate, of course, Danny that when it's not appropriate,
one appropriate? Like what would be wrong with that? And
it would be acceptable. People wouldn't look down upon you,
they wouldn't shame me. Or how about this one? Picking
away dead skin? People get very uncomfortable with that. I've
had a lot of blisters on my feet over the years,
and so I have a lot of dead skins. So
if I pick it away, Like, what's the problem with that?
(22:44):
Why would you have a problem with that?
Speaker 3 (22:47):
No?
Speaker 4 (22:49):
I mean, I just I you know, I worked with kids,
and I saw so many kids eat their boogers.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
It just grosses me up.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I'm not saying eat your boogers.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Oh okay, just get it out of the nose.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Just gonna pick a winner and go there.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Well, a little bit of a germophobe too, So I
don't like seeing people like use the restroom and walk
out without washing their hands. So when they're jamming fingers
in the nose and then you see people eating the boogers,
that grosses me out because of the germs. Also, so
if you put some hand sanitizer on first, got the
booger out, put it in a Kleenex, then used hand
(23:23):
sanitizer again, I think I could be okay with that.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Maybe what am I doing this podcast with Jonas Knox now?
Is that what happened? Jonahs are doing a pod together?
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Wow, you did accidentally call me Jonas Knox on a
podcast a few weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Yeah, well that's because I was on some meds. That's
why I'm on drugs right now. Man, But you didn't
come up with one gross sevent There's nothing that people
think is gross that you do.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
You're I mean, yeah, I try not to be gross.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
I mean, especially like once you get to the age
where you start dating, you know, and you're around females,
you put the gross stuff aside, and you're like, man,
I can't fart around a girl. I can't belch I
can't you know, itch my butt. I can't do any
gross mannerisms because I'm around a female. Now, I can't
(24:17):
do that and be slick. So early on, no, I
put the gross stuff out of the equation.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Well that is true. However, once you're with a woman
for a while, then no, no, still don't the guardrails
go down.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
No, never, like like my wifey, I don't fart or
burpen in front of her or none of that. I've
never done that with a girlfriend or now a wife.
It stays the same. You don't do that gross stuff
in front of them.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Well, I don't intentionally do it, but sometimes my wife
I thought I was outside, I was out. In fact,
I was outside, but I thought she wasn't around, and
so I let one rip and she happened to be
behind me. I didn't realize awkward Ian in Indie rights
in on the mail bag. And by the way, if
you would like to send a mailbag question, you don't
have to wait for us. In fact, I didn't even
(25:09):
post it on Facebook. I stopped doing that. We have
enough people that listen to this podcast every week that
I don't even need to do that. Sometimes I still will,
but you can just send a question in to the
mail bag Real fifth hour at gmail dot com. Real
fifth hour at gmail dot com. Ian In Indie rights
in and says, here we go again. It must be
(25:32):
a full moon. There was a full moon this week.
That's why. What if you could take a pill and
make your farts smell like a more pleasant scent? Would
you take it? So that's another what if? That's back
to back what if questions? Would you take a pill, Danny?
And what smell? Would you want your farts to smell
(25:53):
like your flatchlets? What would you want, Danny? Like roses?
Would you like?
Speaker 4 (25:57):
It's funny you say roses because one of the things,
as my stepdad was famous for saying, after he blew
the bathroom up, he would walk out and he would
make an announcement, Ah, smells like roses in there.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Now that now you probably understand why I don't like grossness.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
No, no, here I would go. You know, I'll go cinnamon.
If I could fart cinnamon. Cinnamon's good, It's soothing. I
would love to fart lavender. Oh, that'd be so nice.
Everyone want to hang out with you, boy, Danny, You
better eat some drink some soda and eat some beans
(26:39):
so we can get some nice lavender smell. Okay, knock
it out. What is that?
Speaker 4 (26:44):
For some reason all these autistic kids would be following me?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
What?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Oh, this is a great one. Sarah from Florida Wrights
and says, say Been and Danny, what slumlord runs your building?
Why do you guys have to work in a cockroach
filled studio? Do you guys have an exterminator you can call?
Speaker 3 (27:03):
You know?
Speaker 4 (27:03):
This is where Lorena is inexperience with FSR really shows,
you know, her work performance doesn't show her in anexperience.
But she doesn't know the history of our building, and
she should have mentioned that in her post showing that
big kukaracha Ben. You and I both know that it
used to be a Denny's yep, so obviously there's gonna
(27:26):
be cockroaches.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Yeah, you would think after twenty years the cockroaches would
have realized the Grand Slam Breakfast is not coming back.
But they they're still there. They're still waiting, they're holding
out hope.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
How many generations of cockroaches?
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Now?
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Oh, I we mentioned like we're probably on like the
I don't know how long they live, but we're probably
on like one hundred generations or something like that. And
the thing that pissed me off, Danny, that no fun,
Guy Garcia. And I'll tell Sarah too since she's listening.
The thing we had this idea, me and Loraina. I
thought this was a great idea, And tell me what
you think about this. Let me run this by you.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Cockroach racing, No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
We would get a little you know those like rat
glass cases, and we would get a couple of pet
cockroaches as the mascots of Fox Sports Radio, and we'd
feed them, because the great thing about having a pet cockroaches,
they'll lead anything.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
I feel like our bosses might frown on that idea.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Oh maybe that would inspire them to get rid of
the cockroaches, but whatever. And so I was like, we'll
do it. I'll spend the money, I'll go out and
get the thing and we'll find I don't know where
we find the cockroaches, just cut into the wall or
walk around when we're on the air when they're all
running around.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
There was a guy walking around spreading the other day,
and they have those traps that are laid out.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
So they're spending money on it.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Very effective, unless it's not so anyway, I just get
a couple of cockroaches and we'd put them in the
glass container, and then we'd have those be theF and
we'd name them contests, like the NHL team in Utah,
and it would be wonderful.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
So and then I would name mine Chewi.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
I ran it by Eddie and Eddie was, oh, no,
you can't do that.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
What would you name your pet cockroach?
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I would look, I'm a man of the people, Danny,
so I would allow the people to name the cockroach
for me.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
That means you do one of your famous polls on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Why not that that would be uh. I might name
it Bobby Cockerroach or Brian Cockerroach in honor. I guess
I could do Brian cock Roach. That's our old guy
that used to work here. You'll j from Duluth. We'll
get out on this jay from the luth right, So,
he says, Ben, I love the show, listen every day
(29:46):
all four hours. I have an idea for the show,
He says, how about during the Sunday in the Monday show,
you do a call out to a former caller to
the show that we have not heard from in a
while to see if they can call in. You can
give them a whole week to do so. So he
wants to hear some old old callers. He says, you've
got a good show, the greatest show.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
He says, Oh, so you'd like page an old listener,
like paging weed man, hippie.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Oh, he came back on Friday. He'd get back on Friday.
He got released from jail. He spent two months in
jail on a trespassing charge in Miami. He spent in jail.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
I can't believe it.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
I'm like, weed Man, why were you in jail for?
He says, the longest he's ever been in jail. And
we were shocked he got out. We didn't know he
got out. And then I asked him for his number.
He's like, I don't know my number. And then he
said he was in jail for two months because he
had three warrants out for his arrest on other trespassing charges.
(30:48):
So the bad news is he had warrants out for
his arrest. The good news is now that he's done
all of the time in jail, I guess he's got
no more warrants, So he's good. So you don't have
to worry about it anymore. But he's gonna likely get
arrested again within the next week and he'll be back
in jail. But he is back. But thank you for listening. Jay,
(31:09):
and I don't know if we'll do exactly what you're saying,
but from time to time we can say, hey, we
haven't heard from somebody for a while, why not it
is Sunday. I will be back tonight on this Sunday
into a Monday with a new radio show as we
talk about the NBA playoffs, we'll recap a look at
the NFL Draft, some of the big storylines from that
(31:32):
that are still in play and whatever else pops up.
Anything you would like to promote, Danny, this would be
your time right here.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
What do you got? I got nothing to promote me? No,
you know what? I take that back, Ben, how about.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
You had nothing you saith? God is over nonetheless again.
I'll be back tonight. Don't forget the Friday Pod if
you missed it, Malord Meet and Green. I'm gonna start
promoting it on the the old original Recipe radio show
this week. But if you want get if you want
