Speaker 1

Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House of hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, even on a Sunday, Sunday Sunday, from a special secret

podcast studio somewhere buried in the north Woods. We are in the air everywhere, and we thank you for subscribing to the podcast. It is the Fifth Hour, as you know, with Ben mallow That would be me and Danny g. We are again on a Sunday, various, very excited. It was excited for us to be here because listen, the Overnight show. Five days a week, four hours at night not enough. We do this eight days a week. This could be the eighth day, Daddy, This is the eighth

day of the week here on a football Sunday. If there were nine days in a week, we'd both be working that too. Well. You can ram it all day and ram it all night Daddy. That very important day here, rams it rams it, rams it, rams it all. They got that Kansas City Buffalo game today as well, So it's a big night. Now before we get into it, Danny, we mentioned at the end of yesterday's podcast that it is very important do the review. Yeah, and then we'll

all say congratulations. Yeah. Well, so we'll tell you that if you if you do that. And and there's a lot of people that we have never met, Danny, that have a lot of power at the company, and they they just look at that off they they love the reviews, right that that it gets very I think the word is political bull Yes, that's what it is. And so you know, you just have to kind of play the game anyway. So it's it's Mailback Sunday. That's that's what

this is, Danny Mail Back Sunday. Very exciting. And these are listener questions from people who are just random, you know, fans of the show that happen to stumble onto the podcast and have submitted Hey question, Now, this was the podcast that almost did not happen. Uh, Danny, not not to be overly dramatic here, uh oh hell, because I would be wrong. Yeah. Well, well, so I posted on back on Tuesday, I posted a link for questions, and I gave out the email life and usually we have

a solid core group that send questions. And I went back to look to see the questions because I was gonna start compiling them, and I became bug eyed and I was like, oh my god, yeah, I mean that's it. Uh Like, I think they're like two people that had posted, and I was like, what did I do wrong? Well, how did that happen? And it makes no sense. So then I opened up the email and there were a few people that had sent questions in on the email, but it wasn't the volume that we're used to. You

were suddenly the Amy Lawrence Show. That's a good line and uh. So I looked at that and I was like, oh man, that's uh this is a sob story here. Yeah, it was brutal, and so I I had a hissy fit and I posted on the Facebook page that if you know, we don't get any more question I guess we don't have to do the podcast. By the way, I'm not lying. We weren't gonna do the podcast. It

was gonna be a two podcast weekend. But then the man that saved this podcast and kept the podcast machine going was none other than Pierre in Springfield, better known as Alf the Alien Opiner. He then went over to Twitter and called on the malle and militia over on Twitter and so a bunch of things. We're gonna could blame you for working today, Alf, Yes it is. It is Alf slash Pierre the Grade opineer. It is his fault that we are here. So without further ado, you

know the drill here, Danny. We'll just read the questions and we'll answer them and we're on our way. Here we go. Well, you know that's not how we start. Hold on a sec, but who Google, I've got to know. You know, we have the official mailback song from our buddy in Ohio, Ohio. Wow, So this is how we properly begin the mailbag. All right, thank you Ohio. Al And with that, see now we're allowed. That would have been a false start if we did not played the song.

Now it feels like a Sunday alright. So Pierre in Springfield, that Springfield mass home of the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame where you can see Muffett McGraw and a bunch of Russian coaches that you've never heard of. So, Pierre says, Ben, you referenced your flight plan uh for two last week, and I was wondering if you give us a Master's update regarding the listener that offered you and the elitist

uh some credentials for the Masters. Yeah. I don't know if you know about that, Danny, but we had a listener that lives right near Augusta, Georgia, and he said he's got a hook up, that he's a made man. This guy, he knows people at the tournament or whatever it is, and he's got a place for us to stay. And I was doing the show with Gascon and he invited us down to to be part of the Masters. Uh.

And I think it's in April. Uh. Pierre says furthermore, now that the aforementioned elitist has been jettison from the podcast, I think he's talking about West of the four or five, will said invitation be extended to Danny g Radio. Uh. Great question, Pierre. I do not know the answer to either one of those questions. And I'm not sure whether that was kind of a friendly just hey, I like you, here's a fake offer, or if that was a real offer.

I'm not sure. I don't know whether that was just kind of for the email and he's not really doing it. I remember one time, were you on the show, Danny when we got invited to Cotchella. So there was a listener that said he was kind of like a made man? Or were there? Now? Conchella is a big concert in Palm Desert, huge festival. Yeah, it's a huge thing. People go and do a lot of drugs and listen music

and stuff. So anyway, so this guy's like, yeah, I got a hook up, and you know, tickets are pretty expensive. It's like a three day thing and all this stuff. And I've never been. Um, I'm not a huge music guy. I like music, but i'm not I don't get a lot of consciences why my wife would have loved to have gone that. So I was like, yeah, I'll go out there. And the guy was a big fan of the show and he said I can hook you up. And everyone that was on the show, I guess you

were not part of it then. And and so anyway we're like, yeah, this does ring a bell because Cooper was all excited, right, yeah, yeah, Cooper was the most excited. I didn't partake. I wasn't gonna be one of the ones getting the freebees, but I do remember this. Yeah, So I I was like, yeah, and he asked for some of our personal information. We're like, okay, we're reluctantly we're gonna give a stranger some of our personal information.

And we did and and then the guy like vanished and we never ever right, Yeah, yeah, because I remember Coop with a real sad look on his face telling me about which day he was gonna choose, and now there was no way he was going to be able to afford those festival concert tickets. Yeah, it was bad. And the guy like he he called up and he did. He didn't totally disappear, but he gave us some story about how you know, something had changed and he he

no longer had to hook up. And but I mean he had made a big we made a big deal about on the show, and it was like all to do. And I was like, what is up with that? You know, something about a policy change to where he couldn't get the passes he thought I didn't get for friends and family and so on and so forth. That happens a lot in our business because people will talk about their hookups before they actually have the hard tickets or passes

in their hands. Yeah, for future reference. And people are very kind and Ian We've been pretty lucky people you know on my The Overnight Show and you you were part of the show, and people send us nice things, food, whatever, gives very kind, but it is polite to not actually offer something unless you actually have said, am I being a dick? I don't think I am. I think you're

just better off if you actually have the item. And like, you know, the guys that call up and say, hey, let's go, let's go smoke a bowl coop and then smoke. He gets excited, but then they don't have it and you're like, well, what what's up with that? You know, the whole thing. Anyway, all right, moving on here, all right, come back, attention, it's time from now call all right Brandon from how is Next? He says, good to hear you again on the airwaves. My question is regarding your

intro themes every hour. He's talking about the open at the top of the hour. I assume here every hour your intro is different, and I always look forward to hearing them when I try to wake up and listen Curiously, Brandon says, I've wondered why every other talk show on fs ARE seems to have the same intro for all the hours. How did you manage to get all four

different intros? My favorite one is with Rachel from Manto Bello in the later hours saying something like You're the greatest ever, and then you saying ever, I love the show, hope to take the oath one day. Well, Brandon, you're more than welcome. We haven't given out the oath in a while, and that that that oath is from Skeeter and Montana. But if you're welcome to do it, Brandon, call us up. We only do it once a night, so you gotta get in before somebody else does. But

we'd love to do it. As far as the imaging, Danny, I don't know what goes on on the other shows. I know on our show we just kind of picked stuff up. We've been there a long time, and so that's one of the things. I mean, we just randomly get a new open now and again, and we've been there so long we have a bunch of different I think that's the answer. Am I wrong? Well? From last week's podcast, clearly you are best friends with the imaging department. I was the guy like, so I don't know about

that with Chris and you getting that phone number. If you don't know what I'm talking about, download last Weekend's fifth our podcasts. But yeah, you do have your own unique touch on the opens and the different production for your show. And a lot of that has to do with so many great callers as part of the mallor militia that there are a lot of drops and with

those drops comes a lot of great production. Yeah. I mean the people that do the production to a great job, and they're like magicians who dan They're just like Yeah. For instance, the other night when I was filling in for Coop, I passed you on Mallard to the third degree because you gave me two minutes to read the three questions and at the end I said, I did not think you could do that in two minutes or something to that effect, and I said, I was the

two minute man. I think two minute man every night. Yeah. Yeah, And so boom mark that that's a draw you No, you did not put that in. You did not put that in that And to great Ben Mallard, that's a drop. That's a drop. All right. You know here I I say something in a very comical I'm just trying to get a mild laugh. And then this bullshit sticks around for years and it's like that that thing you and the gay Porton man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, you

pay me five hundred thousand dollars. All the doors say whatever. And and the funny about that, that's like editing. I Jake threw that together. You can hear the editing that, but they still play it. It is wrong, it is And I tell him, I said, listen the funk up. Okay, yeah, the fuck up. They don't listen to me. Danny did not for whatever reason, you guys don't. I don't understand what it is. I don't get it. All right, what

is next? I got mayl yea. I got mayl yea, all right, Travis in Rosberg, Oregon rights and he says, are you training for the opening pitch for the pickles? He says, also, what's the mailing address for the show? I'd like to add to the growing hat collection. Well,

that would be very kind, Travis. But yeah, Danny, do you know the there's a minor league baseball teams, like an independent minor League baseball team in Portland, Oregon, and they I believe this is because at Pierre Slash Alf they offered me a chance to throw out the first pitch at a Portland's pickles game. And I'm not training for the gig, but I would love to do it. And my wife whatever her best friends from high school actually moved to the Portland's area. So this, Danny, what,

I could kill two birds with one stone. I could be like the good guy. I tell my wife, listen, you want to see your girlfriend, Let's go to Portland. I know to me, Portland's at the very bottom of the places I want to go at this point for many reasons. But I would be like, hey, let's go to Portland, you know, and she can hang out and I'll be you know, I want to go to a game. Why don't you go hang out with her and then I'll go to the game. Boom, done right, perfect. Now.

I have some memories of you throwing a meat ball when we were in Bakersfield. No, no, no, can you please throw a fastball for your next pitch at an opening ceremony of a baseball game. Well, Danny, listen, I threw a devastating lollipop curve. That is an unhittable pitch. It is an a In fact, that pitch has been used in the major leagues to strike out professional hitters. Lollipop is the key word. Well, it's like a bugs bunny pitch or it's uh, you know, you go down.

It's known as the pitch and it's lethal and know because guys like you want to throw a hundred miles out, but there's more than one way to peel an orange and there's more than one way to get a hit her out. And the way I throw that pitch it is That's why the Portland Pickles would like me to come through out the first pitch because that that pitch where I going like that? Uh? That that pitch. Uh,

it's really highlights how good their arms are on their club. No, it goes with a pickle, you know because anyway, but thank you Chevis. And what size how do you do? I'm a size eight? What size? How are you Danny for a fitted cap, fitted hat? Yeah? I don't know. I have to get back to you on that because I've been doing the trucker caps lately. Oh you've been going trucker Yeah, because the fitted I'm like in between two sizes. Either loose and looks big like a lid,

or it's tight and gives me a headache. I'm gonna do an old guy rant. I remember when the fitted hats were like fifteen bucks. They're now like forty bucks. It's insane how much these fitted hats are. A Yeah, I remember saving up twenty two dollars to go to the mall and get a fitted cap, and it was a big deal to have one. I had a brand new Sparkling Dodgers fitted cap. But even back then, the fitted size, I remember I'd have to get a haircut like yours with a number one clipper. That's right. You

get the hat to fit comfortably. Uh. And as far as the address, Travis, I hopefully you can write this down and replay it and record the part. You know, go back on the podcast, but hit the back fifteen seconds a couple of times. Yeah, it's one, five to six, Oh, Ventura Boulevard? Sweet? Was it sweet? Now? I always put first floor? Now, all right, so you can say first four, Sherman Oaks, California, nine or three and send it to care of Ben Mallers show. Fox Sports Radio. Put that

above the address. Keep in mind, though, if you're not sending that anytime soon. We are moving to Burbank. Burbank right across the street from where Johnny Carson used to do the Tonight Show back in the day, Jay leno um and which now is an empty studio. Uh, We're gonna be right there in Burbank eventually. So I don't know. Do you know any rumors when we're moving, Danny, any update on that. I've not heard anything. I know they

said by the summer. I've heard August, so I thought like August was like the latest, so it might even be sooner than than August. But who knows. Well, whenever anybody talks construction, go with the latest plan, the later plan. Yeah, okay, that's at the earliest then, yeah, that is that is correct? All right? Next, who do we have you? Let's see and by the way, adjustable hat for me? Thank you? All right, there you go, thank you, Travis. Oh, hold on,

that's right, all right. Come to Patricia from Laws, Vegas, formerly of Rhode Island. She says, hey, Ben, uh, note that your gall bladder is gone. Does it have an effect on what you can eat? I have to either have mine out or completely change my diet forever. Can you eat meat again or dairy products now or do they still bother you? Thanks Patricia, Well, Patricia should never take medical advice from someone on a podcast or a

radio show. But I can't tell you my experience. And uh, the may thing, you know, I have a weird diet. I don't eat every day. I eat maybe once a day, and then I'll eat the next day, and then I'll skip a day. So it's it's a little different with me. But I have I really can eat whatever I want. I haven't had any problems. I have a pretty basic diet of the diet of like an eight year old.

But I eat whatever I want. And the one thing I will tell you, Uh, if you go a long time between meals, you've got to be within walking distance quick walk, because you're gonna get the Tennessee trots. You're gonna have a little case of dysentery. And usually if I go a day with fasting and then I eat within fifteen minutes of me starting from the start of the meal, uh, there will be a situation that There was a famous story Danny I on the podcast. I

was on a walk in the old house. I lived in the old Mallam mansion, and I thought I could make it home and and then I realized I couldn't make it home because I had to go to the For some reason, it just hit me and then I was like, I'm gonna I decided to go to the bathroom at the public park. This is like early on in covid in and uh, you know, I didn't want to touch the toilet seat in the public bathroom because it was disgusting. So I attempted the hover technique where

I thought I was going to hit the bulls. I and you can go back and hear the podcast for the full story. But I unloaded the missiles. Uh, and I didn't want to look back. But I was gonna flush. I was gonna be polite and flush. And I went back and I looked, and it looked like a crime scene. It looked like a they needed to bring in a crew to clean up what I had done. And it was. It was unbelievably horrible. I don't know how I missed

by that margin. Apparently the there's something that it's like algebra, like the where I was pointing, the direction I was pointing and the way the wind was blowing and did not go so t M I t M I in now after that story, I'm gonna be fasting for a couple of days. Here, you gas, I'm gonna help you lose some weight. That'll be the way to go. Max right soon, says White. Can't Mitch album afford a better wig?

I don't know. That's a great question. Uh into terror from Upstate New York rights and he says he's a classically trained musician. Uh says, last week the Raiders tight End, Darren Waller was the subject of Factor fiction. Now. One of the clues was about his great grandfather, the astonishing stomp and jazz pianist called Fats Waller. Of course that comes. That's very important to Inca because he works in the

music business. He says. It's true that he performed for al Capone's birthday party, but the story is better than that. Inco Terrorist says Uh. He says, let's just say that that this wasn't something on Fats's calendar. That Fats was actually abducted at gunpoint by al Capone's henchman, blindfolded and then driven to al Capone's party. He played for several days before once again being blindfolded and dropped off with serious piles of cash. He says, this is my favorite

gangster tale. And then he says, Benny and Danny g do you guys have a favorite gangster tail? Well, I don't have anyone as good as that, But I can't tell you about five years ago, I actually had a brush inkood terror with a guy that claimed to be owning mob blood. All right, So, um, I had a car that was a lemon. The Mallamobile was a lemon, and I had to turn the keys over because I was getting my money back. And they rip you off

on that. By the way, don't don't do that, because they don't give you the full amount, they give you any much lower amount. Anyway, I had, I had returned the car to the dealership, and the guy who handled the transaction, when you get a lemon, you know this car, you're never going to get a lemon. Well, you do

get lemon. And so this guy came in from an outside company, third party, and he was very talkative and he starts telling the story about how he says, I am the grandson of a legend, and okay, whatever you know, it's kind of random that you would tell too. Strange that my wife and me at the story. And then he says he is the grandson of Charles Luciano. You know who that is, Danny. You that's better known as

Lucky Luciano, an Italian mobster crime boss. And so this guy claims that his mom was like a or not his mom, I guess his grandma. I think he said he was the grandson. Uh. No, I think he said he was the son. Actually, anyway, his mom or his grandma was like a maid for Luciano and was his mistress.

He was stooping her. Uh and apparently one got past the goaltender there and exactly exactly, so this guy like it was so bizarre inco Or and Danny that he pulled out a photo of Lucky Luciano and his mom or his grandma for get, and then but he showed he put the photo like near his face, like see, don't we look alike? You know, it's very very bizarre. What do you have any mob favorite mobs stories? Danny g holding the phone up by the face. That's kind of creepy. I'm sorry. Did he look like him? He

looked like him? A little bit, but a lot of people look like him. You know, if you're you know, if you're Italian, you're from that part of the country. What every well, No, I mean certain people look similar and they all look alike. Um I say that I'm Italian, I can say that. Okay. So I'm in San Francisco with a good radio friend Tim. It was like a Saturday night the festive. This is before San Francisco became

poop city, with human feces on the sidewalk. A lot of the strip clubs were popping in the nightclubs with one of six km e L That's where we were headed, and there was a decked out Nissan in front of us. The guy driving the car was getting into it with somebody on the sidewalk yelling at them through his window.

This Asian dude stops his Niecean right in the middle of the busy street and hops out, opens up the trunk, pulls out a huge ninja sword should you not, and takes the what's it called a sheath the cover on the on the blade, going it sure, why not? Yes, pulls it out and starts doing Ninja moves with his huge ninja sword as he runs towards the guy on the street, so he's like an action hero or an arcade game player. Yeah, this is like something that you

would have seen on a movie. With Jackie Chan. We looked around. I swear to god, my friend's mouth was hanging open because he couldn't believe what he was watching in real life, and I was looking for movie cameras. It was super gangster, more ninja like, but a super gangster moment. That's crazy. And Jim backed up and got the out of there. I bet you. I'm sure, Yeah, why not, Let's go the other way. Let's go I know another another street over there. Maybe now the other

gangster story, which I just I just remember. I've told this a lot over the years. It actually happened at Fox Sports Radio before Danny g worked at Fox Sports Radio. Uh, and I was doing a show at night. This probably goes back almost fifteen years. Maybe maybe he's even longer

than that. And so I to promote my show. We were on on the local l A station, but I would call into Joe McDonald's show, the Late Joe McDonald on his show, his local show, and so I would go out of the Fox Sports Radio studios out on uh Spulvida, right right at the corner of Sepaulva Ventura, and I would call in because I didn't want people like listening to what I was saying. So this night it's different than all of the night. So I walk out of the studio to call in to the other show.

And this this vagrant guy, this homeless guy. He said, hey, are you on the radio? And I want to talk on a fucking radio And I said, no, sir, I'm not. Now keep in mind, I'm walking out of radio station, like I'm literally walking out of radio. And I said, no, I'm not. And so I walked down the street and I did you know, it was like a five minute hit on the radio. And I do the thing. And I walked back and this freaking guy is standing like a few feet away from the door, and again he said,

wait a minute, you're going back. Then you're on the goddamn you know, he's cursing and all this stuff. You're on the radio. I say, sir, I'm not, uh And the guy says, he says, I'm Henry fucking Hill, and I have a story to tell and I want to be on the rate, you know, I want to Beyond, you know whatever. So I was like, all right, this guy is so freaking drunk. Greg Bergman, I don't if you know Burgie he was my producer. Yeah, you know Burgie, right, so he was my producer. And so I get in.

I was able to get past the guy. You know, he's disheveled and drunk, and now he starts banging on the door. I'm Henry Hill. I I been on you know, this show and that show and all, you know whatever. So I'm like, wait a minute. My favorite movie of all time is Good Fellas. I love Good Fellas. That's my favorite mob movie, Good Fellas. So I go on, you know, I go and I I told I was so funny. As I told burg I get rid of

this guy. Don't open the door, tell me go away whatever, get rid of him, because the guy was just banging on the door, you know. And so I go in the studio and I go to Google images and I what does Henry Hill look like? Like? Now? Hand to God, Danny, Hand to God, that was Henry Hill that I had an interaction with the real Henry Hill. Did he live in the Sherman Oaks Hills or something? Well, yeah, he was the funny. He was in the Witness Protection program.

He was living in Sherman Oaks, not in the Hills, but he was living in Sherman Oaks. And you know, he actually died a couple of years after that. I think we know why might have led to his to mins, but he he had, I guess, been on The Stern Show and some other shows and whatnot. But wow, that was crazy, Like I did not I thought when I went to look at the image of Henry Hill, there was no way it is you know, it's it was

like a historical figure in in that world. But yeah, he was in the Witness Protection program and that gave him a place in Sherman Oaks, right near the studios of Fox Sports Radio. So that was pretty crazy. I know he's so drunk though. We couldn't have put him on the air. He would have cursed every other word moving man. Matt or he says as Danny probably remembers me as Matt from the Cape. Oh yeah, he says, Ben and Danny ge will Ben be sick after Tom

Brady TV twelve rams it to the rams off? Please, I did radio with laryngitis. If I did radio with Larry, why would I take a time off if the Rams lose? The Rams are supposed to lose that the underdogs. They're playing with house money today, rams it rams it, rams it rams it. How dare Then he says, why did Danny give up the coveted overnight slot? Uh? He says, that's from a moving man, Matt or Matt from the Cape. So uh, that said, well, you've been through that, Danny,

right you. We've talked about that on the podcast before. But doing both shows and both shifts at the same time, with the Ben Mallor Show and the Morning show, even back when it was just the daybreak fellas Mike North and Andy Furman, and then when it turned into out kicked the coverage, I was doing that show along with your show. And when their executive producer moved on to a Nashville morning show, I got to take his spot as a promotion. So that's when I was just doing

mornings alright. Uh. Matt also says, in the spirit of Howard Stern's Fuck Mary Kill Uh, he says, how about this, three players sign build with retire? Okay, So he says, Eli Manning, Peyton Manning and Lebron that is the the ultimate f Mary Kill. Uh So, I guess I would sign Lebron, I would build with Peyton, and I would retire Eli, but you know I would that would it sounds about right? That would be my list, Craig from and you would marry Matthew Stafford. Uh well yeah, or

and have a little baby. Ben Mallards with him, dare you? Craig in Campmel City formerly of St. Louis, says a two part question, Ben, any update on the possible meat and greet in North Carolina and your thoughts of pineapple on pizza? For me, it's a no go. Um. Yeah, well, then you can handle the pineapple on pizza. I've actually had it. I didn't hate it, but I don't really go out of my way for it. I'm kind of so that's a bad answer, but that's my position. Like

I had it. It was okay, but I didn't really enjoy it, and it wasn't the worst thing I ever had, But I'm not I'm not jones in for pineapple on pizza. It's not my favorite pizza, but I like it. There's something to be said about when you have a little bit of sweetness with me on a pizza pie. Um, if there's some good chicken or pepperoni or salami or something like that on the pie, or in this case, Canadian bacon or ham, then the pineapple goes well with it. Yeah.

And as far as the other question, Craig, I will be in the outer Banks of North came I'm I'm actually planning if if we can pull it off, a awesome road trip, but I'm not sure if the logistics are gonna work out. But but anyway, Craig, I would love to meet you. I'm sure you live far away from the Outer Banks and I don't know anyone there, so we'd have to we'd have to find someone that owns a restaurant or a bar who would be willing

to host the host an event. And if we can find that, if someone's interested, a mom and pop place, or you know, someone who maybe works in the chain, I don't care, but I'd prefer her mom and pop and I'd love love to do it. But it's got to be within reasonable driving distance of the outer Banks, and that is I think it's actually closer to Virginia

that it is to the meat of North Carolina. Who else do we have a Ben and Danny G Radio air to the Garratt Deli Chocolate Fortune, Good Day, a brief step back in holiday time to let you know how much we enjoyed over the over and over again the Mallard Mussa theme Christmas Classics remastered. One problem, Ben, there was a voice missing. The email says, and that would be yours as a good mench and as a favor to our one year two month old grandson, Bentley

a k A. Big Ben. Will you commit right now to working with producers J. Scoop, Just Josh, Mr pc Ohio Al and say Danny G to release next Hanaka, your collaborative remix version of the Dradol song with an eleven month Hollywood head start. The Grammy nominated possibilities are endless, including a YouTube music video featuring you, Adam Sandler, and the entire crew of The Ben Mallow Show. She and It says, You're welcome, much love and appreciation, Helen and

Stu from Palmetto Bay, Florida. Well listen, Helen, I grew up singing the Drado song, and I want you to know the Mallard family. When I was a little boy, nobody sang the Drado song. Quite like I did you know the Drado song? Probably don't, Danny, You're not do it. But it's I have a little Drado. I made it out of clay, and when it's dry and ready, then Drado I shall play and then it goes, oh, drad old, right old, right old, I made it out of clay. Now. I don't want to do the whole thing right now,

but I am down with it. Sounds like a hit. Not there you but did j school just Josh? I know you guys listen to the podcast Mr pc Ohio. Anybody that's interested in that, I can voice it over and if you can add a little music and add your touch and maybe some sound effects. I I am willing to do that. And we had a long way to go. I mean, we'll probably forget about it because Hanakah floats. Sometimes it's early in December, sometimes it's in November,

in the December, sometimes at the end of December. So I don't know when Honeck is uh this year. But that's a great idea. Helen and Stu and I am down with drade Old, dred Old, drade Old. I am I'm down with and I've got the lyrics here and let's do it. So anyway, Barry from Music City says, Yo yo mob, Benny and Danny G great question for you guys this week. This past Saturday, I was leaving my building. I saw an object laying in the street by the curb. I went over and picked up a

fairly new looking wallet. The wallet was very thin, and Barry says I I looked inside and there were just two things, and then he sent me a photo of the wallet. Here. Danny says there was a driver's license and twelve one hundred dollar bills. Look, twelve hundred dollars total cash. Damn. He says. There was nothing else in the wallet, no insurance card, no, no credit card, nothing. So the question from Barry is what would you guys have done? Yeah, I see the problem is the driver's license.

If there was no driver's license, that would have obviously I would return all six hundred dollars of that. He would return all. Say no, you know, you return the two hundred dollars. You'd say, you know it was only for some reason there was only two hundred. I don't understand what that's all about. Yeah, but the yeah, I see, you know what the I don't know you believe in karma or anything like that. But I've had people returned my wallet and so I feel I remember how good

I felt when I went to the store. I dropped my wallet in the parking lot. I've actually done it a couple of times. And when you're when you don't have your wallet, you're like, oh, man, I gotta call every credit card company, I gotta go to the d m V I you know, I got I think you're trying to remember, like what you had in your wallet, you have any money and a cash you know you're going through all these and uh, I remember how relieved I was when I found my wallet and it was

in text. So I would I would like to give someone else that same feeling. And if they have their license, then sure. Now if they didn't have their license in there, well, you know, I don't know whose wallet is right to me anyway exactly, and I would return it. Here's the thing, though, you should tip the person that returns it if all the money's in it. So if somebody returned that wallet and I, for some odd reason had twelve one dollar bills, and nowadays, why would you have that much cash in

your wallet, let's be honest. Well, maybe he's a drug dealer or something, but if you did, if I did have that many bills, I would shift the person off with one of the one bills for returning it to me. Yeah. The weird thing about that is when I had my wallet that I lost the last time, I tried to pay the person that had the wallet and she said the woman said no because it's company policy not to accept any money. And I was like, no, No, nobody's looking,

you know he's I mean, she wouldn't do it. She wouldn't take the money. She was worried about losing her job. For you, that was a one for me. Shane in des Moines, right, So he says, I have two questions. Says, I'm new to the show as des Moines didn't get Fox Sports Radio until a few years ago. But I've always wondered who some of the drops are, namely the gott a murder, Gotta go and that's my duck that

drops those two. He wants to know, and he says, who does the voiceovers for the ads played during your show for other fs ARE shows, Well, that would be the voice of Fox Sports Radio. Who does that? But as far as the Bob, Yeah, Bob the voice over again. But but got a murder Gotta go. That was a police officer from Florida. I put that drop in there.

That was a fun night. Yeah, And he had he was playing a game and it didn't go well for him, right, he was getting blown out, turned into an embarrassing game show for him. Towards the end, he just wanted to bail, and so that's what he said, got a murder gotta go. Yeah, I think it was. His name was Craig from Boca, if I remember, I think you're right, Craig from Boca.

And then the that's my duck, uh, if I remember correctly, That is a farmer from Georgia that called the show only a couple of times and was a very very unique character, very unique character. And he claimed that he lived on this big farm out in the sticks in Georgia, and I asked him. I was like, well, what kind

of animals do you have on the farm? And so he did start doing all these animal sound effects like he's from you know, some movies somewhere, and he made some duck noise and that's my duck like that, and then he went through like all these different animals. Really was really good. I wish that guy had become a regular. I don't know whatever happened to him, but he only called a couple of times, and we've we've kept that drop for a long time. So, now, what's going on

with this Batman guy who keeps calling your show? Yeah, I don't know if that's gonna work out. And now we had this guy this week named Batman. Uh for I don't know where he's from. I don't I think Gotham, right, guy? Is that is that where batmanlan? Huh? Yeah? So I didn't know you had a new affiliate in God them, but that's what it sounds like. Yeah, because throughout the night when I was filling in for Coop, I would

answer one of the lines. It would be quiet, and I'm like, and I repeat myself, and then you would just hear and he was, you know, doing a full on impersonation. Yeah, it's all he would say. I couldn't get any other words out of him. That's limited anyway. So Neil from the Real Miami writes in, and Neil has been with us a long time on the podcast and the show. He says, I'm not sure if it's a bad job by me being a longtime listener or by you. But what are the origin stories of Bella?

How did she become the platinum member of the Mallard Militia? And then he has a bonus mailbag question. Uh so, yeah, Bella is the dog at the Mallard mansion. She's the head bitch at the at the Mallar mansion and um, my my life. A while back, wanted to get a dog. We actually had a different dog named Taser that was an undomesticated beast and uh, it was just a nightmare and h was horrible, and we got rid of you know, Taser. We moved Taser to somebody else's house and then I

was like, we're never getting another dog. And then a couple of months later, Bella popped up. Somebody from my wife's work had the dog was looking for a new home and Bella's um, I guess was living with this older woman she had passed away, and so I was like, I'll give I was like a trial period, Danny. I said, all right, we'll give Bella a try, and we, uh,

we fell in love with Bella. And now she's an old dog and she ships all over the house, and like the other night, I was walking and I was doing the show and walking around and the problem is that the floors we have here, the the Bella bombs, you can't tell where they are because it's camouflaged. And what a mess. What a mess makes just a trip to the bathroom exciting? Oh my god? What is this other question? Neil says, Uh, First, congrats on the Rams

running over the Cardinals. On that note, you and Danny Gee prefer the do you prefer the boat race domination situation? And go to sleep early for us on a normal schedule or a toe to toe down to the wire heartbreak win for your team? Uh? That you were you root for? Uh? So I enjoyed the heck out of the Ram blowout. I love that. I absolutely love that. I know what's going on there as all kinds of weird noise going on there. But I love the blowout

for the Rams. But like in a Super Bowl, I would love it to come down to the very end and then have the team that I like pull out the game at the end. I think that would be awesome. But for a regular game or even an early playoff game, I love a blowout A good solid beat down. I'm all about it. What about you, Danny? As a fan, of course, you would love it if your team just comes out the gates and blows the other team away.

Nothing for you to sweat over it. Last Saturday I had to sweat that entire game versus the Bengals, and then it looked like the Raiders had that miraculous comeback. They get all the way down by the goal line, and then Derek Carr throws that ugly duck in front of the goal line. Please explain that past to me. So you got that amazing pass to Waller and then you got that shitty pass in front of the goal line when it's fourth and goal, Why do you not

throw into the end zone? Yeah, it's yeah, I understood, I understand. I was watching that. I think about Danny's is probably the inroverto probably really upset it to that, as you can tell him over it. Yeah, all right, we gotta get out of here. They look at the time unbelievable. Thanks to everyone else I know, Betty, I believe in Huntington Beach. She was. She had an email Fred in Spring Texas, Cliff from Nashville. Unfortunately, we ran out of time, but thank you guys for sending the email.

Sent him in again. Oh yes, I have a wonderful Sunday and you'll find out if I'm in a good mood or a bad mood, depending on what happens this afternoon on the gridiron in the NFL Dune Dun Dune
