"All Balls" Mail Bag

nodded off. It is the Sunday Sunday Sunday edition of The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard and Danny g Radio. Eventually they'll tell me this a Mallard, but we're not at that point yet, Danny, were not at that point yet. So the talk fiesta continues. The talk fiesta continues, and I am excited about we had a great weekend so far. Let's not fff it up on Sunday. Let's not ruin the weekend the last podcast of the weekend. Let's go out in style. Dan, I have no faith in us,

but let's do it. Yeah. I'm completely convinced that by the time we're done, this podcast is gonna sound like this. That's what this podcast is gonna sound like and we're gonna be wishing somebody would call up and say, but anyway, all right, listen, enough of that, let's get right to it. You know, I love the Sunday podcast, the mail back podcast. So here we go back, thanks to our guy ohio Al for that, and right to the mail bag we go.

These are actual questions by actual listeners like yourself that have sent the youth. That's right, we have mail. We have lots and lots and lots of that. We get so many some weeks more than others, Danny some weeks more than us. But the mailbag this week we start out with Pierre from Springfield. He says been more of an observation and less of a question. Danny G brought the heat and not rocks last Saturday. Is he jettison to the number one, number greatest sidekick in the history

of the Fifth Hour podcast? Pierre says he fits right in and has unquestionably erased the sour aftertast that the listeners had from the previous trust. He said, could keep up the great work. So Pierre in Springfield a big fan of Danny G. And Danny I got so many people I've told you all weekend here, but so many people sent me messages they could not get enough of the story the way you told the story of your queen Tinderoni there and it was just wonderful. Congratulations, Danny,

J wear What could I wear? You want? A lifetimes apply of nothing and an imaginary rays? Congratulations? Damn it? Did I at least get a Westinghouse flat screen TV? Yes? Yes, the round Trip to nowhere? Can you upgrade it to a usea on it? Yeah? Yeah, Well, you know, your wishes may become reality if you wish upon a star, Danny, if you wish upon a star, very kind of Pierre. They're in Springfield, mass Uh. Next up is Radioactive Ryan.

There's a rule. If I don't hit one of these dumb soundbites, people get up said, what did you do that? I didn't go to sun bite? Alright, come back, it's sign from now call that is right, and so radio Active, Ryan says, Hey, Benn and Danny, I love the podcast. You guys are a dynamic duel reminiscent of Shack and Kobe. Anybody on the Clippers is a half of what Kobe Bryant is. Sorry, Ben, I'd say you were like Kauai Leonard, or she says Kawanie Leonard and Paul George. But then

you'd be injured or sick all the time. Ben, you mentioned you had a story about causing a car accident at a radio remote broadcast. Hopefully it's similar to the one that Halle Berry caused when she wore a dress and the wind blew it up overhead and she was going Washington Commando. It's five star shout out from Radioactive Ryan. So I know you're taking a shot at uh Kauai and Paul George, but I mean I could take a similar shot at the Shack Kobe reference. There's something going

on there that we could bring up. But I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna be classy. Um. As far as the story involving the radio remote, I will give you a brief version of the story. So this is actually kind of amusing. I've told it a little bit. I think from time to time it comes up. So this is how I understand the story at this time. How I remember the story. So years and years ago, I was doing local radio in l A. And I did a lot of remotes for several years. I went

to every dive bar UH. Saturday morning. We had a contract with Jiffy Lube, so we'd go to different Jiffy Lubes around southern California at the crack of dawn because they figured guys would go out and get their car service to Jiffy Lube on Saturday, so we had to do commercials for them, so we did commercials for them. We did it to tire stores. We went to tire stores, went to UH like lows and home depot places like that. It was insane, Like every weekend we do. We did Friday,

we had Monday, Friday and Saturday remotes. Three remotes a week. Monday night football we did a remote at a restaurant. Friday we did a remote at a restaurant, and then Saturday morning we did a show from like a tire store something that. But but anyway, we had a deal with a day spa in the San Fernando Valley, not far away from where the Fox Sports radio studios are right now. And the place had a name. It's out of business now, so I guess we can we can

say it. It had a name that would become toxic in American culture for many, many years the name of the day spall was called Isis Me? Oh yeah, now mind you. This was before isis became a thing, but it was called Iis Me and it was a day spot. And I went out there and I was doing some some stickila trying to get people to come down. So we had set up a broadcast table kind of in the back near the parking lot, and we were doing some broadcasting stuff and nobody showed up, right and nobody

showed up. So I was really uncomfortable because you know, I was like that they paid a lot of money for me to be there. And so what we did is me and the sales guy. Uh. We we went out to the front of the establishment on Ventura Boulevard, legendary Ventura Boulevard on the corner of vent Her I forget what the cross street was, but we it was a big, you know, intersection, and so we set up the table with the megaphone on on the side. And so then I started doing like improv. I started doing like,

you know, stand up comedy. As the cars were going by, I was doing stick talking to the people in the cars when they stopped the red lights, and I was getting some laughs and people were kind of into it, you know, and a few people started to kind of come over and see what we're all about. They were staring. It's kind of like, as you know, when you do a remote Danny, It's like you're at the zoo and you're in the cage and everyone's looking at you, and

some people are picking their nose. A lot of people are not in those days looking at their phone as much, but they, you know, because the phone technology was different. Anyway, some people come up and have a conversation with you while you're alive on the air, talking yes, yes, that's all. That guy is always my favorite. They don't realize that anyway. So I'm doing my stick and you know, people are starting to respond to it, and we had a we

had a decent turnout. And then I kept doing it and this guy I've already stopped at a red light and he was looking at me. It turned his head to me, and I was doing some you know, like crappy stand up. I'm not even a comedian. I was in some stand and the guy was so distracted by what I was saying. He leaned into the intersection. He got it on. He got it on an accident oh yeah, right in front of the place, some being uh and

Bob Scott, the sales guy. We immediately we pulled up the card table, we took the megaphone away, and we got the funk out of there. We took off, man. We dattled out of that place. Man. But that was my that was my tale from the massage parlor back in the day. So now the the guy hopefully didn't know who you were, right, because he could have told the police, like, got a murder? How distracted me? Oh wait a minute, I was How am I responsible? Though

I don't know. They never contacted me. So I think the statue of limitations on that run. So I think we're good now. I don't think I have to where I can come out of hiding. Now I can. I can go out and about and all that stuff. I got mail, yea, I got mail, yea. All right. Next message comes from Neil Is, a listener in Jasper, Indiana. Beautiful Jasper, Indiana. You ever been to Jasper, Indiana? No,

I would love to visit Indiana. Though I have been to Indiana, I have been to Indianapolis, I've not been. I don't think I've been to Jasper. Let me, let me look up some fun facts about Jasper. All right, you want to look up fun facts about Jasper. Uh. It is a city in du Bois County, Indiana. Probably said that wrong, exactly, butchered guaranteed on the Potoco River. Probably butchered that too. Population of sixteen thousand, seven hundred

That's a nice size Christmas parade with you playing Santa on top of the float. Yeah, and uh, let's see here. That's the end to be famous. You think anyone famous came out of Jasper. Yes, notable people got to be at least one MLB player. Let me look here, Uh, do not see based by Doucey a NBA player though back in the stone age, Paul Hoffman,

He voted for him, our great grandfather, Yeah, exactly. But he went to Purdue. He was selected by the Toronto Huskies. Oh yeah about that. Played for the Washington the Baltimore Bullets, Toronto Huskies. They played the first NBA game against the Knicks. Interesting played for the Knicks. Played

The Philadelphia Warriors, of course, the the Golden State Wars from Jasper, anybody else I'm looking here? Oh oh you know what? I stand corrected? I stand corrected. There's a very famous baseball player who knew Oh no, that did go? It

Uh no, George bell I love Georgian Scott Roland. Remember Scott Roland. Yeah, Scott Rowland born in Evansville, Indiana, but he attended Jasper High School in Jasper, Indiana, home of Scott Roland. Do you think it's Scott Roland baseball field there? You got to be something, don't you think he was?

He was Mr Indiana Baseball or Indiana Mr Baseball And last we heard Scott Roland was the director of player development at Indiana University. So I always wonder what happens to these cats when they leave sports, Like what do they do? They don't go, they don't go. But wait, there's more. This Jasper is a hot bed. Hot bed. Matt Mock remember him, the quarterback from l s U

won the national championship in the early two thousands. He played briefly in the NFL, but he was a good college player, like a seventh round pick in the NFL, had a cup of coffee in the pros. I don't even played a couple of games. But he's from rump Jasper. Wow, oh my, oh my god. We're full of fun facts on Who knew that our friend Neo would inspire hot talk about Jasper Indiana. Thanks to you, I don't want to go to Indiana anymore. Neil says, what are your

five favorite fast food burgers at this moment? So I don't eat too much fast food. I don't need a lot anyway. I'll go first, Danny, but I've got in and out. Although the burger could be bigger, delicious, burger, but could be bigger. Five guys. I like five guys, enjoy five guys. I need them to bring the peanuts back. I'm not some kind of nut liquor here. Last time I with the five guys didn't have the peanuts. I

didn't like that, the free complimentary peanuts. Uh. And then the other ones I would put on that list, like Tommy's triple double chili cheese burger I used to get back and I think it was a triple I love that with the chili fries on the side. That's a that's a cheese chili cheese burger place in l A. Have you ever been a steak in Shake? They used to be one in Burbank. I don't think it's open anymore.

That somebody told me it close, I don't know if that's true or that they have a really good day. This is the garlic double steak burger thing. That's really good. Yeah, that was really good. Yeah. I don't think they're around, uh in that location anymore. But I've only got four I don't have and I could throw Carl's Jr. In there or something like that. But what are your five? Danny go to fast food burgers anything from Arby's on there. Uh no, no, I'll go in reverse order. Number five, alright,

Number five, number five, Jack in the box. In the box, they have a buttery melt burger. They infuse butter into the burger. Wow, it's a little messy, but it is wonderful. How do they infuse butter into the burger? But they just put a slab of butter on top of the burger weather cooking. They cut a hole into the burger and then fill it with melted butter. Sounds good. Butter and meat together. Signed me up for that. Super healthy

Number four. Number four Another very healthy selection from Carl's Jr. The famous Western bacon. Yes, the Western bacon cheeseburger, a staple of Carl's Junior slash Hearties. Depending on where you're at right, some of you haven't either. Number three, number three a double double at in and out. Yeah, double double in and out, in and out. That's what a hamburger is all about. And if you try to avoid hamburgers, like my tender rowning, you could get a lettuce rap

version of the double double. She doesn't like the bread and tried to stay away from the bread. You can go up to the four by four. I think they won't go any higher than that anymore. Used to be able to get like an eight by eight, but I think they cut it off at four by four. Yeah, and get the fries animal style. That's a veteran in and out move. Veteran move number two, number ber two.

Definitely five guys. So the softness of the bread, the juiciness of the burger, the pickles, the combination of all that together. It is like you are at one of the best barbecue weekends of your life and your friends just grilled up a masterpiece. Yeah, I agree with you. And I wanted to hate five guys because it's the East Coast in and out, and I wanted to hate it. And then I said I can't hate it. I had it, and I like this is good. I mean, I'm sold.

I like it. Screw COVID. They gotta bring the peanuts back. Number one. Number one. Get a small child size even frosty chocolate. Dip your French fries in it. Great appetizer leading up to a Wendy's bacon eater. Wow, Wendy's Who saw that that isn't a huge upset? Danny nobody had Wendy's at number one. Oh yes, nobody. The box you're painting outside the lines. I'm gonna say this my very first part time job in radio, I got my very

first paycheck. I went to Wendy's like a baller, little taste catch Wendy's on the right day, at the right time, and they cooked the bacon eader up to a hot perfection. I will go Dave single on a day where I want that lettuce in there for some freshness and the bacon eader when I'm craving some applewood. Now that they still have the square patties, is do they have the

square patties? That's that's their trademark, with their trademark, Yeah, two square patties in there, crispy bacon, that amazing melted cheese. Catch up Mayo, And I'm also gonna make this number one. I think that's a good choice because it's available to everybody who could pretty much here this podcast. I gotta say I've had it good and bad there at Wendy's.

There's been Wendy's where I go and it's like a little underwhelming, and then times where I had it and I was like oh you know said there's an angel above your head while you're eating it. The greatest Windy's meal I ever had. I was driving the spring training in Arizona and I stopped right across the California border. I forget what town it is in Arizona, but startial with a W. I remember started with a W. This

big truck stop, massive truck stop. But there was a Windy's there, and I love wind Oh man, it was I was just the right combination of being hungry. Yeah, and they cooked it perfectly. See that's what I'm saying. That's my only complaint about Wendy's. Is there a little hit and miss? Yeah? No, I agree. Now not making the list, that's a very interesting list there that we do list radio or podcasting. But no, White Castle did

not make the No White cast. Yeah, White Castle and I've eaten there, you know, late night, having a good time whatever. But that stuff to taste of that you when you go to the bathroom a couple of days later, it smells like White Castle's very powerful. It's very powerful. I feel like White Castle is hangover food. Yeah, yeah, you know, it's it's like college Tommy's is the same thing. We would go there after the club and it was yeah, it was the food to try to soak up the alcohol. Well,

I would go there just to get fat. I would go there after the show at three in the morning on a Saturday, you know, Friday and Saturday, and I'd sit in the parking lot. I go through the drive through. I'd order like a triple chili cheeseburger, the big fries. I'd get a big drink, and then I'd sit in the parking lot and eat and watch all the people coming from the Hollywood clubs, stumbling down from the sunsets trip, stumbling and bumbling, and I said, boy, those people they

have a life. I'm just coming back from the radio station. I got nothing going on. It was a great show though. People watching it was amazing. And fortunately my mom was always worried I was gonna get shot. I didn't a shot sitting in the parking lot at the Hollywood Tommy, so I survived. Everything was fun. I saw some really um see, uh, I don't know what has the way for. I saw stuff that probably was illegal that took place in the parking lots there, but it didn't involve me.

There's that alright, let's keep it going. It is the mail bag male male male male. Mayle's right, Colma, alright. Next one is from Jennifer, our friend, Jennifer, the Lovely Jennifer and Richmond, Virginia, and she says, Hi, Mighty Ben and cheese stick, drumstick Danny g. She says, I believe we're all about the same name. So did either of you go to your twentieth high school reunion? She says I did not. Jennifer says, but traveling from Richmond, Virginia

to Chattanooga, Tennessee wasn't the reason. I love the fact, Jennifer, you're from Chattanooga, the Chattanooga choo Choo choo choo. Anyway, she says, high school was simply not a fond era for me. I sure didn't want to voluntarily walk back in there. Even though I'm not the shy girl I once was. I occasionally have nightmares from those school days. I'm right there with you, Jennifer. I I've had people

reach out. It's a weird thing because I'm not famous by any means, but there's some people, you know how this goes to any when they find out you're work in radio. People that are from your past, we'll come back into your life and sent your messages. And I've kind of been a douche to some of these people because I said, listen, I don't I hated high school. I could not stand high school. I couldn't wait to get out of I I changed. I went to a couple of different high schools, and part of it was

because I hated high school. People were as souls to me, and uh, and so I it was just it was a nightmare. And now looking back, there's some people that are very good friends. I have a couple buddies, my gambling bunny Hunter I went to Vegas with. We were high school football teammates. And there's a couple of people I went to high school with president, but the vast majority I want nothing to do with. And uh, I

don't know how their lives turned out. I assume some of them were successful, some of them happy, some of them aren't. I mean, that's just how life is. But but yeah, I don't know, Like, what's what would the point of that be to go back to like do a flex and say look at me now. I don't need to do that. Who cares? It doesn't matter where nobody's right you know here, I don't know you, Danny, did you go? I missed my ten in recent years, I did make my twenty. But I actually I was

behind the turntables. I played the music for the night. Yeah, well, you were probably more popular than you know. I. I was not popular. I was not I was the fat guy. I was the radio station kid. So I was the one that gave all their dedications and shoutouts and requests to We did afternoon radio their k b d G ninety point nine FM that went on to work at the big FM radio station there in the area. And so they're like, can you play the music for the reunion?

Problem was they scheduled it during the sun during a heat wave. Ben, my hard drive melted. Yeah, I remember you said that your equipment got all destroyed, all destroyed. I had one of my control records on my turntable warped. I mean, I had the hardest time DJ and that gig because half my equipment got screwed up from the one and thirteen degree heat. YEA, not a good memory. I made it work. I had music playing the whole night.

But it's not It's not one of those gigs I looked back fondly on because of all the hurdles I had to overcome, did they at least treat you well? Did you get around of applause and a good job DJ? The fun part of the night they did some giveaways. They had trivia from the high school, and I hosted it on the microphone and got some laughs and stuff,

So that part of the night was fun. The rest of the time trying to find music that wasn't on my hard drive and that I could play from on the nineties is that was difficult because I was down to some CDs that I had burned as a backup. Thank god I had made those. Yeah, I my my twentieth high school anniversity, which is actually it's it's coming up here. But my my thing is like everyone kind of as I remember it, people were very rude to me,

that kind of goofed on me. You know, I was the fat guy and that's what people are, assholes in high school. The women wouldn't get near me, uh you know, so I'm like, what a you know, what am I doing there? And as I was a dog in those days and so anyway, uh Nettle, did they know you would turn out to be a Don Juan women. Yeah exactly. But it's it's funny because I I was so quiet, and you know, I'm an introvert by nature that I run into people like what like, what are you doing

in radio? You never talked? You know that kind of that kind of so that that that deal? All right? What is next year? Let's see Tammy and my Tanna Wright Sin says, Ben, when you dress up as Santa Claus and Danny Gee, when you work as a teacher, that generation will have humor, respect, and good work ethic and great sports intellect instilled in them. Well, thank you, thank you, Timmy, She says, thank god, hideous Helen doesn't influence young shoulder. Now here we go, Here we go,

Here we go. The battle royale continues. Tammy says, thank god, hideous Helen does not influence young children. It would be a generation of jealous, pathetic, braggadocious, unimportant stalkers. Please remind Karen, I mean Helen to drink her prune juice. Maybe if she isn't constipated, stew might get a little wow, although I'm pretty sure Stu is the name of her dildough.

Wow Wow wow uh there isn't any isn't enough medication for a man to take to live with that, She says, Tammy, my question, if the Raiders and Rams were to cease to exist, who would you pick for your NFL team? That is from Tammy. I feel like you just threw that into the end, Tammy, that you didn't really want that you just wanted to rap Helen. I think that was your mission on this. I don't think you really

had some feeling behind that question. So as as I've done in the past, I would just rotate teams every year. I did that for years on the radio. So I'd go back to that RAM. When the Rams left l A, I no longer was a Ram family. They were St. Louis, and so I just picked a different team. I had listeners vote every year. That would be anything but Danny, you have the Raiders on your but you're a Raider till the day you die, Danny, And so what would

you do? You have a Raider sword tattooed on the back of my arm, but the handle of the sword is the Dodger logo, the D So it's a nod to the Dodgers and the Raiders. Um, you know, I guess because of Randall Cunningham, I would go Minnesota Vikings. Oh okay, so I think Ranald Cutting in Philadelphia goas, but you go Minnesota Vikings. Yeah. I got something about the unis and the time he spent there, the wide receivers they had. I guess I would lean that way.

Just being a fan of football as a little kid, I I think like I used to love the pat Patriot logo, and as a kid, I always thought that was like I was squatting on the football. Yeah, yeah, I was thought I was like awesome. And and then I was going through my old stuff and my parents passed away, and I saw they kept the jacket and I ought to take a picture of it, because that's the reason I love that logo. I wore that when I was a little kid. My parents weren't They weren't really.

My mom was a sportsman, my dad was not a huge sports fan. But I think they just bought that because it was cheap. But I loved it. I was like, that's the coolest logo. And even now I I when I see the Patriots every once in a while to wear that old uniform, I'm like, oh, that's awesome. They're gonna bring those old helmets back in a couple of years, so that's pretty cool. All right. Next up we have here, oh Helen and speak of the devil and the devil

shall up here? All right? I like these two. They're they're they're out Helen and stew from Palmetto Bay, Florida. Email says Ben and Danny G. Ben and Danny G. All right, what time stop? All right? Benn and Danny gis so glad you boys are reunited again. It feels and sounds so good. Shout out Peaches and Earth. Uh. Speaking of shout outs, a shout out to Naomi Osaka.

Stop crying, you emotionally weak bitch. Uh. It writes you're twenty four years old, you made over twenty million dollars in tournament money and have a net worth of forty five million. Tape two fuzzy yellow tennis balls together, adapted to your support animal and grow a pair, sister if just for Women's History month. Wow, Helen bringing the flamethrower yet again. Ben, speaking of balls, nice nut talk this week.

Question for you and Danny, have you ever been hit in the balls so hard it left you in the fetal position or worse gory details are encourage. Absolutely, this has happened to every every man. There is no man that escapes this. At some point, I recall in baseball there were a couple of instances where I slid and uh it kind of I hit the sweet spot and uh, I was feeling it couldn't get up. I had to lay down for a while. I did get hit in the that region with with the playing catch the football,

and also it's I would I would compare it. I'm trying to think what's the problem. The analogy would be like, you know when you eat ice cream too fast and you think your your brains you're dying because your brain you have brain freeze. Yeah, this is nuts freeze. You think you're never going to be staying able to stand up straight again. You're always going to be the fetal position. You're never your nuts are never gonna feel right again. That's what that's like to me. But but Danny, when

did it happened. I'm sure it happened multiple times. Probably did anything stand out there? Yeah, to come to mind quickly. When I was a kid, I guess I was a teenager because my little sister was the kid shouts out Ariel. She did a karate kick, she did a cobra kai on my balls, but left me just, you know, screaming for air. And I thought that I was never gonna

grow up to have children. And then as an adult in the early two thousands, I got in a it wasn't a bar, it was a club, but I got in a fight outside the club defending a girl's honor and it was multiple guys and there were fists flying everywhere. One of those fists hit me in the nights. Oh no, oh man, dad to to grin and bear itt bear yah, to grin and bear something like that during a fight. It's one of the hardest things. You see boxers where they get hit like that during a match, right, and

they need time out. But if you're on a street brawl, you don't get time out. No, that was bad. I stood in a shower from a good half hour after that fight, and the rest of my body was fine. I had some bumps and bruises, but the balls was where I you know, And you recommend, like if you get access to a bathtub or a spa or something like that, to go soak everything and the water helps everything feel better. But man, man, when you get hit that hard, I mean that bad feeling, Dad, that you

can People can die from being hit in the nuts. Yeah. A week later, a week later, I still couldn't sit down the right way. Thank god that fist didn't hit me in the face. I didn't have any injuries to my face. I probably would have preferred that though over the notes. Yeah for sure. All right, let's keep it going here. It is the always probable. I got mail, Yeah, I got mail. Yeah, back Mike from Fullarton Rights and

he says, hey, great car talk last week. My dream car is a Lamborghini Diablo, which is definitely more similar to Dannygi's Ferrari than Ben who went with the grandparents motor home. That's bull crap bike. That's a freaking lie, you dope. Listen. Let me explained right now. I picked the Lincoln town Car because when I was I was on a road trip for work and they rented us a Lincoln town Car and it was the most comfortable seat I had ever said. It was a luxury automobile.

I had not been in a luxury automobile at that point, and it drove great, and I I fond memories of the idea that I could drive and sit on sofa while I was driving. That's that's attractive to me. I believe I could become a professional driver. Not with the price of gas right now thanks to uh maybe our president or whatnot, but uh, I mean just I'm just pointing out that I think I could handle that. Man, Yeah, I think I could. Could you imagine filling up an

RV with gasoline right now? Oh? God, no, I feel bad. I feel so bad for the truck drivers and listen to the show, and some of them are independent trucker Joe told us the story about how much he spends every week because if you're an independent driver, you you

gotta pay for your own gas. God bless vers. And the thing that really funning gets me going on this, okay, and and and makes me want to punch somebody is the fact that the price of oil going down does not have a direct correlation to the price of gas. But if the price of oil goes up a half a cent, they immediately raised the prices at every gas station. It's almost like they're fighting with us. It's almost like they're fighting with our mind, is what they're doing. And

I have a conspiracy theory. You want to go full of Luminati here on the gas. My conspiracy theory is that this is a get back because they lost a lot of money, the oil companies in when people weren't driving, when the shutdown for for so many months took place, and they had they had too much gas. They had excess gas they because they weren't using it. So now they're using Vladimir Putin and the Ukraine as a fall guy, as a scapegoat to price gouge the men, women and

children around the world. But I live in America's yeah us, I'm buying that conspiracy. I don't like it, man, Obviously, I don't know anybody likes it. I wouldn't mind it as much if it was fair. It's not. It's dirty, that is what it is. Because I get it. If you're gonna raise the barrel, the price per barrel of oil, then you raise the price of gas. But by that same token, if you lower the price per barrel of crude oil, you then have to lower the price of

the gas. And they said, well, that's the price we paid for the gas, which is bullcrap. Because I know there's some some stations I love Costco. For example, Costco gas and they they go through so much gas. They don't have a big, you know, pool of gat there. They have seven eight trucks a day to go to my local Costco filling it up and stuff. So anyway, Uh, Mike also is a question, have you ever seen the movie Liar Liar? Uh? He says, did you like it? I did see it. I saw it in theaters. I

remember liking it. I've not seen it since then. I have not seen the movie Liar Liars since I was much younger. Baseball stuff. Yeah, but I remember joining the movie What About You, Danny? Did you did you see? Obviously did. But we also saw it in the theater because at the time Mr Carey was one of the biggest comedian actors of our generation. Wasn't that the number one movie when it came out? I think it was.

Maybe I'm wrong, I think you're right about that, And pretty much he had that long stretch where anything he touched turned to gold. So when he had a big movie come out like that, we all went to the theater to see it, and I've seen reruns of it on TV. Coop could thank me for some of those residual checks to Ching Chi Ching Chi ching already one cents at a time for Coop. Yeah right right in the bank, right there, my producer, justin Cooper. A piece

of food that was laying around for twelve hours. We think it might have been nibbled on by a rat. Pay the man, Pay the man. Well, hey, if you got thirty something sense every time a movie, are you take that right? Because that's gonna air for forever and ever and ever. We should get residuals off our podcasts in our live radio shows after network. I completely agree. If we got half a cent for every day, all I want is half a cent, I'll split it with you.

Half a cent, half a sent Oh yeah, wonderful. That would be Fred in Spring Texas. Right sinceas Hi, what do you think of Daylight Savings? Any strong feelings pro work? Oh yeah, I saw this story this week. I don't think we brought it up on the Raider Shop, but I love this right yeah, I think it was the Senate. It's gotta it's gotta get one more vote. And then, as I understand it, we're still gonna have to change time in November. But next year, once we change time,

go back to daylight savings time in in March. That'll be it. That'll be that'll be the only time. March fifte breaking news. Senate passes a bill to make daylight savings time permanent, meaning America will never have to change its clock again if it passes the House. All right, So this is something we can very polarizing, Danny, as you know, politically everyone is fighting with everyone. Uh political bullshit, it is. But this is something we can all come together,

bipartisan support, bipartisan support. This is one issue every man win a child, Team Blue, team read can say that's the way to do it. Congratulations. Yeah, that is it right there, make that happen. And it's one of those things I wish my old man was around because I used to get in conversations about this kind of thing every year. My dad would bitch about the time change and how you hated it and the whole thing. And I always said, Uh, it's someday that it's someday it's

gonna it's gonna change. And yeah, I feel like we're very close to that. It's it's so the fact that they originally supposed he did it for the farmers and the farming community is like, no, we don't need it, we don't need the time changed to accommodate the farming industry. We're good. And yet they still kept it every single year.

It was a hot button topic for Clay Travis. He would rant and rant for a good week after it happened or before it happened, and he said he would run to be the next president on a two platform deal, that that would get changed where it never changed again, and that the day after the super Bowl was a national holiday. Talk. Yeah, well that's a good that And I would would Tom Arnold be as vice president probably not after this would probably not would not be his

vice Yeah, probably not. Uh yeah, I Will Caine would be as vices That's right, Wilkaine would be his his running mate there along. So I am pro great question, Fred. I love the idea of just not having to worry about It's an archaic thing. They said they gotta wait a year because so many things that are automatic in

the I think it was the airline industry. I think that is what I read, that they have to wait for all that to change so they don't they don't have planes falling out of this guy and all that all right, what is next year? It's the mail Bag, the Extended Dance remix. The mail Bag, Anthony writes and says online books such as DraftKings, Fan Duel, etcetera barring advantage players for minimal winning streaks profits. Uh. The CEO says they don't want those players. They just want people

betting for fun. Got to have an opinion on that. Let us hear it, Ben Anthony, I didn't see that. I'm not surprised by it. Uh. It's the same concept that the casino has. It's a dirty secret in the gambling world. If you're actually good at gambling, they don't want your gambling. Uh. And there's a there's a guy, what's the guy's named Billy Walker, Walter or something like that. What's the guys you got went to jail for a little bit. Yeah, the guy was friends with Phil Mickelson.

Michelson ratting him out. He went to jail. But he is the had to be the most successful sports gambler. But he's actually banned from the casinos. He's not allowed to bet. So what this cat has to do is he has to hire people and get them to put the bets in for him. As runner. Yes, Billy Walters, the interesting guy. Can we get him on the podcast. I'd love to get him on the podcast at some point.

That would be fun to get him on. But I read a book about this, and it was fascinating me that that they said, yeah, you know, the sports books, if you start winning, they'll cut down the max you can bet because they're not in the business of losing. Man, the sports book loves the guy that comes in there wearing a Tom Brady jersey and uh and just puts down five grand on the Buccaneers because he's a Tom

Brady fan. And that's what you do when you're Tom Brady fan, and you just do it and you're happy and all that stuff. But if you come in there and you actually have knowledge and you actually win, then it becomes problematic. Then they're like, well, wait a minute, you smart alec here, what's going on? And and so that's I'm not surprised, but I'm I'm not, I don't know, disappointed, not I don't think that's the emotion. But if you

look at it, they want the dumb money. Uh, they're in the in a money making position, and the way gambling works, you can't actually win money betting on sports, but you have to be disciplined, you have to have money management. It also helps if you have inside information. For example, the story this week I mentioned on the radio show. It's a great story about the books in Vegas. Red Flag went up. A couple of people walked in playing the speculation game, walked into the casinos, made massive

bets on Tampa Bay to win the Super Bowl. Two days later, Tom Brady announces he's coming back, and now they're calling for an investigation. Some Martha Stewart's, yeah, some insider trading. Actually like like, it makes sense. The timing on it makes sense that Brady likely knew long before the announcement that he was coming back, and he let the Buccaneers know, so they didn't make a deal for

a different quarterback, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. And and so somebody walked in there who had intel, we assume, right, and somebody that that knew has a sharp which the sports books hate the term sharp, and so made some made some bets. And now they're concerned because there's liability if Tampa wins the Super Bowl, and they want the square gamble. That's the gambler they want scared the square gambler that doesn't really know a lot and just bets on a

motion and all that stuff. And has there been any update about that ball that as you know, I've not heard anything on that. I did hear the invoice didn't come out till Monday, and so Sunday it's where Saturday the auction ended, the guy won the football. Sunday Brady retires Monday. Uh pay the man good luck on that? Uh yeah, alright? What is next year? There a few more? And what do we have? These are actual questions by

actual listeners who have sent questions. If you want to send a question into a future edition of the Mailbag, every Tuesday in the morning, I post on the show Facebook page Ben Maller show a link you know, change your life in amazing ways, unless it doesn't. But you can go in there and post the question right there, or you can privately email a question Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com, Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com, and I will possibly use your question on on a

future edition. John in McKinney, Texas, Right, got mail, Yeah, I got mail. Yeah, baseball is back. Do you like the movies being made? Pre spring or the moves being made pre spring training. Do you have a favorite to win winn't a surprise for the playoffs. That's a hard old baseball question, John. Obviously, I like the Dodgers getting Freddie Freeman. I love all the transactions. It's been a lot of fun for those of us that do talk

radio at night. It's been wonderful. Every day. It's been really, I would say the greatest two weeks, back to back, belly to belly that we've had in a long time in sports radio, with all the rampant speculation, and it's just been a chef's kiss is what it's been. It's been magnificent, magnificent. So but the team in the American League, I'm looking over those Toronto blue Jays and that's a pretty good baseball team in Toronto. Yeah, and I'm looking

at like a Dodger blue Jay type thing. The Mets. The Mets are the only team in the nationally I look at them like, oh, holy crap, the Mets. But I have a feeling by the end of the year, Jacob de Brahm and Max Shure's it will be in the infirmary, So it'll be a much different look by then as well. Clayton Kershall, he'll be hurt by the end of the year. But wait a second. In the American League, you're not taking the Oakland Days. That's a fine team in the Oakland Athletics. I think they can

win the Pacific Coast League. But I'm pumped there. You all right, let's see here? Who else do we have? Keep going here? Come back? It's from now Jeff from Parts Unknown right since says, will you ever see dick In Dayton play live? I would love to see the dick start perform live with the Strummers and the Kettering Banjo Society. I don't know. Um, We'll have to see

what the future holds. I've I've been saying once this COVID stuff is completely gone, which I feel like it is for the most part, I want to get back to doing Mallard meet and greets. And at the very top of my list, I have Minnesota and Cincinnati, and if I come to Incinnati for a weekend, I gotta find a way either to get Dick In Daton to come down and see me, or I gotta go see him. So we're gonna try to make that happen in the

next couple of years. I already have a trip. Unfortunately this year planned it's gonna eat a lot of my time off. I usually save it all for the end of the year. But I can do like a long weekend. It's like one day, right that that would work day. I can take a a Thursday into a Friday off, fly on a Thursday, do something on a Friday, come back on a Saturday. I could do something like that, right, that would work. Now did he officially retire? Yes, yes,

he retired at the end of last year. So it's got affected your show as there's been too much Dick on your live show or not enough. Well we're getting dick blocked as we're doing a cock block. But but you know, no, Dick, you didn't call as much because it was part of his routine when he get up to go to work at Low's. We he would start his day by calling our show. But now that he doesn't have to go to work, he's not there as he still checks in every so off, he still checks in.

You're very special. Yeah, we tell him that and then he still calls, and so that's good. I have an old caller question for you, all right, who is the old p one who used to call from his truck in Arizona because he didn't want to wake his He got in trouble. Oh yeah, Cliff the weather Man, the weather Man. Yes, yes, what happened to Cliff? Cliff? I think he had some some health problems and he just couldn't couldn't listen live. Every once in a while send

me an email. But it was the greatest thing. Cliff so wanted to be part of the show. I love Cliff the weather Man. I hope he's still around. And Cliff and he wanted to be but the calls were kind of you know, they were like C or D level call. So what we did is we made him the weather man and he would be Cliff the weather And this was a big deal. Like Cliff studied the weather and he'd be out. He lived in Arizona. He

still does, I think, but if he's still around. But he lived in Flagstaff, which is the northern part of Arizona. Not the people think of Arizona. They think of Phoenix and the heart of the desert. But in Flagstaff, you know, it's the mountains, it gets cold, it's not it's not like you think of Phoenix, and so he'd studied the forecast and he'd call up from his truck. Sometimes you'd be on hold for a long time and they'd be like where wolves walking around and critters and creatures and

all that, and yeah, it was. That was a long time ago. A good caller he turned into a good call It was a bit on the show, it was. It's a lot of fun some dedicated listeners. Yeah, for sure, for sure. And uh, let's see your page then, John in Northern Colorado, he says, have you ever been a guest in someone else's house and had to sheepestly tell them you plugged up the toilet? Now, John, that's a great question. It's never happened. I'll tell you why I

do not shop in other people's houses. I am an anti shooter. In other people's house, I don't do it. I don't do it because I'm worried about them running and not having the proper toilet paper. I'm worried about, as you reference, John, stuffing up the toilet. So I want no part of that. So I will hold my bowels, Okay, I will. I will hold onto that bow until I go to a public restroom or my own restroom. I'm telling you, Danny, I do not want to be that guy.

I don't want to be in there. And I'm doing this, and this is going on, starting an engine on it on a car. You're doing it all wrong. All you have to do is multiple flushes, and that doesn't always work during the during the movement. Let me tell you something, I haven't traumatized. When I was a kid, my parents, my mom and dad were out doing something. So I'm

home alone with my brother, my younger brother. Oh oh no, and I'm in the in the upstairs bathroom and I I dropped the deuce, all right, big old deuce, big Benny deuce. And I flushed that toilet and it's it was clocked, but I didn't have the plunge. So I did what you advised, Andy. I flushed it again, and I flushed it again, and it was like the fourth, third or fourth flush. The water comes over, the toilet comes out of the toilet, and now it's starting to run.

Flush it while it's going on, not after you did the damage, like you know, halftime. You should have took a halftime. What what I did, I was in a boxing posture and I said, I want to flush in the water. I figured the pressure of the water will push the pool down, and it didn't happen. So I ended up running out of my house as a child to my neighbor's house in a panic because the entire fire bathroom floor was covered in ship water, and I was like, we gotta turn the water off to the house.

And my my neighbor, my neighbor, Sharon, as she rest in peace, she died a few years ago. She's very nice. She came over and she caught me down, and she figured out a way to stop the toilet from running. But to this day, I am still traumatized by a clogged toilet. So I certainly do not go to other people's houses and clogged the toilet does not happen. So anyway, all right, that is it. Well you will put the baby to bed. Thank you all for your question. I think, uh,

I don't know that. We got to Ozzy Momentum. Unfortunately, wanted weed Man to come back to the show. He wants me to reach out to weed weed Man to get him, but that's not gonna happen. Weed Man's moved on. We've moved on, he says. Weed Man's lame jokes with the funniest of all time. You can reach out to him if you want Ozzy momentum. He'll probably Here's the way this goes, because I had listeners over the years reach out the weed Man to get back on the show.

Normally this is how it goes. Hey weed Man, Hey, I'm big fan. I loved you on the mallag Oh really, yeah, that's great, and we as send him money. Is what he says, I'll come back on the show. Send me money. I'll come back in Then you send him money. He won't come back on the show. That's usually high anyway, but good luck maybe maybe for you, and he'll he'll come on the show. Have a great rest of your Sunday.

Will be back on the Magic Radio Box. I will be tonight on the on the radio show eleven p m. Sunday night in the West, two am in the East on Monday morning, and we'll have all the n c A stuff. The rest of the NFL moves, baseball, baseball. It's a great time of the year. Danny g Yeah, have a toilet plunger near you. We'll catch you then uh later, skater got the murder, Gotta go
