The Fifth Hour: "Blue & Red Together" Mail Bag

ribbon ng podcast that we do all weekend. We put our money on the table. You pay me five thousand dollars, I'll endorse a game magazine. We leave the dungeon and we go into the audio wonderland and we welcome in as always on Benny versus the Not Betty versus Me on the Fifth Hour, I can't even talk Dandy g Radio, So I'm wearing a smile, Danny, because we were telling in our production meeting, we were telling some classic radio stories. Anybody who's not a radio nerd would not appreciate. But

those of us being radio nerds, oh wonderful. Let's just say there was some fuccory that went on over the holidays. Yeah yeah, which is an all time great story that will not be told here and probably never on this podcast, but you never know, Well there was there wasn't great behind the scene story that was told on yesterday's podcast. Make sure you download Saturdays as well as obviously you're listening to Sunday. Right now, we are in the middle

of a super wild card weekend until Monday. Yeah, that last, the big one. That's the big one. Tastes like a touchdown in your mouth. How dare you Anyway, Well, we'll get to the mail bag, and that means Ohio, all right, Now that's not dili down. We've got a lot of questions. So let's get to that mail bag. It's all right, thank you, Ohio, A good job by you. You live another week here and so the key to success, if you want to be part of the mail bag, you

actually have to send a question in. So get on your soapbox, do whatever you have to do. Uh say hello, shalom, bonjoora? What is it? What are the other knichiwa? That's Japanese? I believe bonejor no? Is that Italian? I think that's a time that's for hello, right bonjor no that that means hello. I believe I'm correct on that. Helloha. Oh that's the great Hawaiian uhha. Back home, we just said howdy,

you know what's happened? You know? Uh cowabunga dude like I love that when you're there and they say, that's pretty cool man, the island life, the island life. Yeah, since you just went to Hawaii and you left with an extra member of your family in the oven? Uh

do you do you want the mrs? Do you watch that Hawaiian HD DV like real estate show Hawaiian Life where they it's it's right when you've been there and you've seen what it's like and well you can kind of peek and see you kind of having a better idea, better grasp of what's going on there. I've watched that show for a long time, way before this relationship, and every time I watched that show, I was like, damn it, man, I want to be on that show because I definitely

want to retire there. That'd be pretty cool, man, be pretty nice. Start saving those pennies. If you eat one meal a week, you could probably save that money. And by the time you get done, you can buy the house in Hawaii. Yeah, I'm gonna bring my son there someday and have them look over the land and I'll say, son, this is where I left it in. That's where you were. The we we we created you right here. You get

away from me there the magic happened, all right. So the mail back if you want to send a message, and you can do it a couple of different ways. A lot of people have shifted to the email, which is great and we love that, and we want you to emails Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. You can do that right now you want. It's not gonna make the podcast because a podcast, but you don't have to wait Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com or if you want to wait. So the Facebook page pops

up on Tuesday or Wednesday. It's Ben mall Or show. That's on our Facebook page, and you can submit a question about anything you want to know about the show, about radio, about life. We generally avoid sport equ questions, Danny. We triaually avoid the sporting questions, but every once in a while when we do that all week so the weekends for fun exactly, but every once in a while, we will allow an interloper to get their question on. So on this mailbag, we start out with Barry in

Nashville via the Bahamas this week. How about that he's hanging out the beautiful Bahamas, he says, Yo Yo, Bob, Benny, and Danny G Have either of you been zip lining? If not, would you ever do it? So I'll go first. Danny, I have never been zip lining. I've only thought about it really once or twice in my life. I know on in Vegas at the Fremont Street Experience, they have

a zip line that goes right down Fremont Street. Um, but I think I'm too big and I'd probably break it like I broke the microphone, so I'd probably tried to avoid that. Well, what about you, Danny. The only zip lining I've ever done? I guess you could call it get zip lining. On the east side of San Jose in the eighties, my cousin brother and I used to take an old wheelchair and push it down with one of us in it. The other two would push the other person down what we called the ditch it

was behind. Actually it was the alley of the Evergreen Town homes there, and this ditch was super steep into all these It was like a brush hill. And when you got momentum, I remember my cousin flipping over multiple times in the wheelchair. It was awesome. That was our version of zip lining. Wow, how many broken bones ended up out of that? How many over under on broken bones? So are we looking at there? Let's not tell our

moms how we got hurt. They thought it was football. Okay, well, you know football sush football tells you not to play tackle football. And meanwhile we're pushing each other down a hill in an old wheelchair. Those great times. But real zip lining have never done it. Um, I guess I'd be down for it. Well, in Hawaii, we're just talking about Hawaii. You can go on. There's a zip line over the forest you can do in Kawaii. I know

that that's one of the tourist attractions. If you're into such things and you have a lot of money, disposable money, liquid assets, liquid money that you want to spend on that. So uh, next up on the map back Kevin in Kansas Rights and he says, hey, guys, Ben and Danny g I have noticed in my high school a zombie like atmosphere. Students walk down the hall with this thing in their hands and they're staring at it as they walk. The bell rings for class to start, and they continue

to stare at this device. Can either of you explain this weird phenomena? Have you noticed it at your workplace? Kevin in Kansas? Well, Danny, you're at a school part of the week, right, So you see the kids that they all have their phones. Are they are they phones for boating? Are they are they banned from the school at the middle school level the moment they walk on the campus, their phone has to be put away. If the phone is seeing the phone is taken. Oh, that

is a problem. That is a problem. But yeah, yeah, like the thing I would say, Kevin, Yeah, I'm like, I'm looking at my phone right now, like I'm like everyone else, you know, I'm checking it out and all that stuff. But the thing about it is, I've noticed that sporting events, Danny, Like, people spend a lot of money to go to these games. I don't go to a lot of games anymore. I used to go every night.

But you go to these games and that people aren't even really paying attention that you were just at a Raider game and everyone's on their phone. And the other thing I love is what I call the statue of Liberty, the thousands of statue of Liberty. If there's like a big moment in a baseball game or a basketball and football game, everyone's like this with their arm like fully extended like a torch, with the statue of Liberty, and they're and I'm convinced no one ever watches those fucking videos,

but everyone's taken them. Everyone wants to be the one to capture the dramatic moment and sell at the Harvey Leven at TMZ. And that's the thing. I was at Disneyland last weekend because we were supposed to go on Christmas, but we're sick, so we took the kids on Sunday. When the fireworks go off, Why do you need to record the entire fireworks display at Disneyland. We've joked about this on Covino and Rich before. Do you have a box of tapes from back in the day, let's say Disneyland,

Oh six fireworks? You collect fireworks videos and now it's all digital. But I mean, we never watched these things back, so why not live in the moment? Why are you recording this entire stupid fireworks show. Yeah, Like, there's some things that are wonderful, like you know, your your kids first time speaking or walking. You might actually go back

and watch that fucking thing. But you're not gonna watch a fireworks show, no, sid when you I'm fit, Like you have family over right now from out of town. I don't have them staying right down yelling. I'm they're upset with me because I'm yelling. I'm doing a podcast right now. But yeah, can you imagine pulling down? Uh like, what did that used to be? Our grandparents had him. It was like a shade they pulled down for the projector oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah the slide. Yeah,

here's Benny with his fireworks slide show. Everyone gathered around. You want to see the fireworks. We saw Disneyland. It's so it never happened, So why waste your time? Yeah, I can I completely agree with you on that, but thank you. Kevin has always a great question by our guy, Kevin and kids. Next up on the mailback, Joe and

Darcy in Florida. Right in the dynamic duo Benn and Danny g. I usually keep my questions light, but I do have a serious sports related question Joe and Darcy right in, he says, are members of the sports media, specifically the NBA media members afraid to ask people like the woke James real questions? Most media members will never get the chance to interview someone one on one like l Woke, So what would they stand to lose by asking real questions as opposed to the fluff questions that

he gets. I'm singling out this since I feel he has done more harm than good in his time in the NBA from a sports popularity standpoint. Joe and Darcy say here and he was over over the course of the of he's talking about some of the events here. I think there's a few words missing, But the the original Jesse Smolette with his bogus race crime in his house that never happened, He says, Uh, Joe and Darcy, and the fact that most people would not even get

the references approves my point. Would the NBA go as far as stripping a press member of one's credential if they dared ask him real questions? I would assume a press member would stand to gain more by being a rebel and dare asking real questions, Am I missing something? Code of the Cats still sucks signed to Joe and Darcy, So yeah, it is an interesting dynamic. I've been out

there a lot in media events over the years. I've actually been at some media events with Lebron, ironically not since he came to the Lakers, more when he was with Cleveland back in the day. And there's a term in wrestling. The way I would describe it, it's called a k K fab. I believe it's how you say it, right, that's the in professional wrestling. It's the portrayal of staged events as real but the people involved. No, it's it's not like I don't know if that's the right way

to describe this. But the the reason Joe that a lot of the NBA media do not ask tough questions is because it is access. But the other people snicker. There's so many fan boys and girls in the media that love, truly worship people like Lebron James and they don't want to be the awkward person that asked the tough question. And as far as the dumb questions that get asked, there's a lot of hard ohs in the sports media that really want to get into the xs

and os. They think their coaches and they want to get into the xs and ohs and and things like that. So they so that you've got several variables in play. But I think the biggest one is peer pressure, Danny, that you don't want to be the one that asked the awkward question because then Lebron gives a weird answer, he might end the interview, and then he doesn't answer any more questions, and so it's all those things playing together. What do you think, Danny? Let me ask you because

I used to ask Clay Travis this, why do you care? Look? When I watched sports? I watched sports. Do I watch the postgame interviews? No? I really could give a ship. Unless it's like a major game, like a National championship game with an award, a Super Bowl with an award, something like that, then we'll watch the post game, right, But other than that, I don't care what these dudes are saying their street clothes. I might or might not agree. It doesn't do anything for me in my life, right.

They're not gonna make gats cheaper for me. They're not gonna help me with my health insurance. Multimillionaires some of these guys almost billionaires. Now I think Lebron might be a billionaire. I think you're right. Yeah, these dudes are

so filthy rich. And I hate that part of it where reporters run to them Ben and they're like, what do you think about the NFL canceling the game when Hamlin was hurt and Lebron's commenting on it, And then you realize Lebron doesn't even a player he's talking about, because he's like that kid he didn't even know him Lynn's name, but he shouldn't. He's not an NFL analyst, he doesn't even play in the NFL, So why do these reporters all run to him and ask him about

the flavor of the hour is? Yeah, I mean, but that's the I totally understand. I think, like where Joe and Darcy are coming from, and if you're really into this and we're into it, but if you're watching it and these guys like Lebron's put on a pedestal, and I think you kind of agree. Like He's like, why it's this worship, the celebrity worship, this obsession with guys like Lebron James and and what they say matters and it's an odd thing about human issue because I'm kind

of like you. I'm over as a talk shows. I'm not over it. But is it just a fan I'm over it that part of it. I don't really give a crap. You know. I'm an adult. I've made my own decisions. I have my own view on life. I don't need someone else to tell me. But there's so many people that are just like they're the robots. They need these celebrities that they have to follow, thee everybody's and all that stuff, and it's a it's a it's

a ridiculous set up. But that's just human nature. A lot of people are like, oh, I need celebrities, are more they're better people than me because they're famous. No, they're not. Stop being cheap. Be your own man, be your own woman. Yeah, it does take a while for people to kind of cross that that rubicon, I believe, and then they figure at some point you figure it

out and all that. But it's a self fulfilling prophecy though as far as because you need clickbait, and so lebron is more than happy to give it to guys like that and then boom you go, all right, Next up on the mail bag Jeff from Milton, Washington. Good Country, God's Country, writes in Jeff, he says, do any of you ever feel like you might need security? He's starting to you know, you and me Danny with with you when you go out and about a couple of your callers. Waa.

He says, Oh, that isn't funny. Also, any of you ever complete a half or full marathon? I love the show. Thanks. That's from Jeff in Milton, Washington. Well, thank you Jeff for listening. Number one, uh, number two, uh day to day. No, don't don't need security, although I'm a little concerned. Blind Scott seems to be trying to track down my address. That seems somewhat troubling. And then we we go out and do Mallard meat and greets. We have the proper

amount of security there, Danny. We don't like to talk about that. It's secret. Well, you have people out there to keep an eye on us. We're not going there blind. You know. We have street gangs that protect us, so we're we're good on We have the crips and the bloods. They work together and they keep an eye on us. The Avenue gangs in l A. So it explains that Montre all expose hat you're wearing right now. I don't know what you're talking about, Danny, I have no idea

read together. Oh yeah, I got a combined. That's a good point. There you go. Next up on the mailbag, we have Terry from England with a sport Oh question, he says, it's Sean McVeigh. Is Sean McVey running away from a complete rebuild like this idea of the Rams. It's like a long term rebuild. If the Rams all you people that are all horny for draft picks, If the Rams wanted to, they could get a boatload of

draft picks right away. Trade Sean mcveigho the Cowboys for two first round picks and a couple of second round picks. Trade Aaron Donald to the Patriots for three first round picks. Send Jalen Ramsey to whoever for a couple of the first round picks. You all of a sudden, you end up with like five or six first round picks and second round picks and all that, if that's what you want to do. So now you don't have Aaron Donald and you don't have these guys on your team. And

these are pillars of the Rams currently. But if you really want to get the draft picks, you can make the draft picks happen. You can work it out. There are ways to do it. Cooper Cup can be traded. You can make yourself like an expansion team and get rid of every headline player. I don't recommend that being in Los Angeles because the RAM fans a lot of them do like the star players, so I don't recommend getting rid of everybody. But if that's your mission, you

can absolutely do it. I think fans need to stop being overemotional when things don't go your way. It's okay, the world's not gonna end. You don't need to blow everything up. You don't need to fire everybody. You don't need to start over from scratch. You just need to make some adjustments, hopefully get the right free agents, and hopefully get a good chemistry going with the guys you have on your squad. This whole with the Dodgers, they didn't even win the World Series with the best offense

in the leading blow it all up. You don't need to blow everything up. We talked about this a lot last week. In the afternoon, there's a lot of fans on a M five seventy you you used to do Dodger talk, and a lot of those fans are on their screaming about how we haven't seen the results. You still have some key players and you still have an organization that is rich, so Ben, you don't need to

start over. Yeah, but it's it's the black and white world, right, It's either you're you're with us or you're against us. And it's like, I agree with, I think this is the thing is a term that's been lost over the generations called fine tuning, right slight improvement, not blowing the whole thing up from and going back to bedrock, updating it, you know, adding a little bit. It's like it's kind of like when you get an app on your phone. You don't delete the app and and you know, download

seven other apps. You go to the app store, they update the app, they find tune the app, they add, they reorganized, recalibrate, whatever they have to do, whatever word did you verbage you want to use and then you can still use the app and they make it a little bit better, but they don't destroy the whole thing. And uh, and I agree with, Like I look at

the Rams. I'm like, okay, if if you know, they sign the right free agents and they get a couple of guys likely not in the draft, but in free agency, meaning college free agents who aren't drafted that turned out to be decent. Oh, we're fine, you got something. And and it's like, what happened to here's the term that

we don't use enough. I think Danny coaching up, coaching up, getting more out of talent and and and doing it that way, like to me, a great coach you take a guy who's a C level player and make him a B player, and you take a B player, make him an A player and an A player, making a plus player instead. It's like, well, if this guy is a C player, you're not gonna win because you just said, well, how about he get better? How about they they improve?

Why are they just stuck you know, their pigeonholes as as this player? I am annoyed by that. I don't like that. Danny alright, Kyrie in okay, see rights in our guy, Kyrie, the Kyrie we love, not the other Kyrie Kyrie And okay, see rights. And he said, hey, big homie, big ben Ak the goat. Danny g my guy. He was the first producer when I began listening to your show, like seven, eight or nine years ago now the microphone throttler, I've been listening about as long as

my oldest daughter, who is nine. So somewhere Kyrie writes around there. Anyway, how much or how come? Rather how come? Too much or not enough? Is the only game show where you can win two golden tickets? What made that game have that one and only perk? Like? What is it? The origin story of that game show? Which I love all the game shows, the trivia of the jokes, etcetera. Listen to you guys eight days a week so much.

My wife hates you anyway much love to you and and Danny g Well, I think your wife, I would say, for putting up with us, but it sounds like she really is not putting up with us. But that's that's fine. Uh so that too put up with us either, So yeah, exactly our watch don't listen to any of this stuff.

But yeah, but like too much and not enough that just kind of happened organically, and people have pointed out it's the easiest game that we have, and yet you can get two golden tickets I have heard that complaint, Danny. We had Holleringen James in Minnesota was fast asleep, yeah, and ended up winning the game in one of the great moments in radio history. Based on the rhythm of the snoring. Yeah, yeah, based on on the snoring and whether he was quiet or not. So that was that

was something that was unplanned and just amazing. Um. So there there's there's really no rhyme or reason to it. Um. And I'd like to add some some new games. I like the Mallard Militia Feud, which we've been doing on Mondays now Sunday and the Monday. I have fun with that. Yeah, maybe if you didn't throttle the clock like Andy Reid and you could actually get that entire game fit in there.

I know, well, it's it's it's one of those double edged swords, like you're damned if you do, You're damned you don't, because that when when I leave a lot of time, usually those are terrible games, and then when I don't leave enough time, they're great games. It's gotta be that perfect spot where you feel the rush and so your blood is pumping, so you gotta get it fit in just in time. But it can't be too short of a time where you're going so fast you're

stumbling over your words. Yeah, well, Eddie, not to throw any under the bus. But Eddie went so long on his puck the world that we didn't even have time for fact or fiction. We were like, man, we're going for and it was going for. I don't care, I'm leaving goodbye. He was going I guess there's a lot of hockey news. That's an icing penalty. I believe the next up, Ozzy is our friend from out in the

middle of nowhere in Western Australia. You think of Australia, you think of the beaches, you think of the kangaroo's, you think of the sun, the fun, and this guy is out there in the back country in Western Australia. He says, My mates big Man and Danny Gee. You had someone ask a couple of weeks ago about your

favorite sports movie of all time. But I would like to know what movie that is your all time favorite not to do with sports, and he says, no, Ben documentaries do not count, even though I do enjoy watching those. He says, ps, I am not a dinosaur. I do believe you're a couple of years older than me. Well not really, Ozzy was because you actually have a real job. I I do sports radio, so I have not aged. I'm stuck at the same age. I've been the same

age for a long time. But my favorite movie of all time, I would say Good Fellas is probably number one. That's that's my my go to. I mean there's other ones, but what about you, Danny Well, Godfather one and two are right up there for me. But if I had to pick one movie that has completely stood the test of time, back to the Future. Oh yeah, Back to the Future is When that comes on now, I get just as excited as I was when I was a

little kid watching it. It's to the point where a lot of theaters across the country will play it for special showings on the big screen. And whenever that happens, make sure you get some tickets for you and your family and go see it at the theater whenever they play it as a classic. And there's certain songs like

Star Wars. When you hear that the theme for Star Wars, or like Superman uh Indiana Jones is like brings back memories but not necessarily like watching my all time favorite movies, but like watching them is like just hearing the music. Next up on the mailback, Cliff in Nashville rights and he says, Ben, how does Danny g manage his schedule? He's got the fifth hour Cavino and rich middle school teenagers and a pickle craving new wife. All right, Danny,

what's your secret? Cliff would like to know your secret on how you are juggling? A lot of a lot of balls up in the air. There. You've got a lot of things going up in the a lot of disks in the air, A bunch of hookers in cocaine. Ask my man right there, our most name has drops, a bunch of hookers and cocaine. Uh no it it's a busy schedule, So I just try to nap whenever I can. When you become an adult, you start to

realize right next to golden value is naptime. Remember we were kids, Ben, and your mom would make you go take a nap, and you'd hear other kids playing outside, and you could get really frustrated, like it sucks. You don't want to be inside. You didn't want to be napping. Last thing you wanted to do was go to sleep. Now as we get older. Man, that hour long nap that you could take before you have to drive into

your job, that's gold money right there. I make sure that I'm well prepared for whatever shift I'm about to do, and then I take a little nap right before I go in for the war. Well, you're more grown up than I am, Danny. I'm a bad napper. I'm a terrible sleeper. I do catch up, I will say on the weekends, usually Friday night, I just burn out and I lay on the couch. My wife knows if I always said, well, I'll lay on the couch. I watched the TV with you know, and I lay on the

couch and I'm sleeping. I'm like gone to the world. Man, I just I fall into that sofa and that's it. Turn out the lights, the parties over, and I'm just yeah, it's just that's it. I'm worn out. I'm and and you know that our jobs are mentally draining because you have to think a lot. But they're not physically training. We're not building buildings or roads or something like that.

And but mentally I'm always on the on the goach trying to think about what's gonna happen next and what I So, it's a big pain in the ask I did. I didn't want to mention I failed to answer that guy Jeff and Milton's question that the other question about are you are you gonna ever compete a half or a full marathon? I wanted to do a full marathon, and I actually I told my wife I'd like to do the l A Marathon. I like, at least walk it, wile the jog, gonna walk it and some of that stuff.

But then I've messed up my knees, so I don't even know if I'm able to do that at this point. I probably could. I'd like my my brother who's in town here visiting. He's run the New York Marathon many many times, and I'd like to walk the l A Marathon at least, But I have not. I've not gone down that road. Next up Pierre uh staring at the back of a milk carton looking for Helen and Stu John the jailer et said that's a great point. We've still not heard from Helen and stew and John the jailer.

I hope they're okay. I don't know. I did email Helen and Stu. I did a wellness check. They never wrote back, so who the hell know? They've all gone missing from the mailbag? Ben. I know how much the Bennett's like the nickname Rundown, but unfortunately only half now take up an entire segment or half of the podcast. Would it be possible to post the entire list on

social media? Also? Could you add the one uh to the pile of my past suggestions, which is an update to a current nickname, the Grand Godfather of Gab, So that would replaced the Grand Goober of Gab. That would be the Godfather Danny. Do you approve of that nickname change? All right? You know what, I'll make that happen. I'll make a note of that and I will add that for my man Pierre dedicated p one. Al right, next up on the mailbag, MIKEE though, we need to commission

one final nickname for you. I hope it's the final one. You destroying the equipment and the lights in the studio unintentionally by any of the bulldozer there you go, something like that. If you haven't a suggestion, send it to the mailback next week real fifth hour at Ben Mallor and we will consider you can have the power of adding a nickname to my nickname Rundown Mike from Fullerton

Rights and not to be confused with fir Dogg. He says, congrats to my boy daddy J. I know you think he'll be a Raider someday, but in twenty years the Rams should have some draft picks again, So don't get to ahead of yourself. So, first of all, thank you, I appreciate it. Um. Yeah, it's weird, man, because last weekend you did the math. What do you say it was gonna be the kid's gonna be born? Do date is this year? Right? So the math on that you think he goes to college it's twenty would be twenty

something around there. Yeah, it'd probably be draft if he stays in school. Yeah, holy crap, I mean, what do you think this kid's like a linebacker, defensive end, the offensive lineman, quarterback. What are we looking at? Well, the miss has had her very first official doctor's appointment. They did the ultrasound and the doctors like, man, that baby is big for nine weeks, so we might be looking at an old lineman here, the next Lincoln Kennedy. Yes,

there you go. Uh, Mike continues. He says, before my question, I have to come clean after something Ben said last week. I'm not as dedicated to a listener as you think. Mike says, yes, I listened to every radio show and podcast, but I skip your weekly segment on FESCO in the Morning. Now that you know the truth, I hope you don't think less of me. Yeah, well, shame on you. Shame on you. Like that's an award winning radio which has

a sponsor. The Landing in Kansas City, the home of the Ben Mallory Chicken fingers, is a sponsor of my weekly segment on six ten Sports in Consas City, the home of the Chiefs, where they're all upset Danny because of this neutral site championship game in the a f C, and as it has been pointed out, I talked about it on my appearance on FESCO in the Morning this past week, that that is a trial balloon, Danny and

mark my words, the NFL. If that goes well and they make money on that, you will see no more a f C NFC championship games in home stadiums. You will see neutral site championship games. Gearrongti coming to the NFL money, money, money, money, It's all about sucking that money out of your wallets. And Mike says with Benny versus the penny winding down and weekly interviews not coming back, it's sound is like you could use some ideas for Friday's going forward. So I came up with a couple.

How about on Fridays you read a book. The militia needs it. Benny of the book, Benny the book reader. Uh, the militia needs it. If you don't like that idea, considered doing a SMR, which I believe he means autonomous sensory meridian response. He says, just tap on your microphone and make weird noises for an hour. Boom done. Let me see how that would work. You like green eggs and Ham? I not like them, Sam, I am, I

do not like green Eggs and ham Uh. Nick and Wisconsin right sitting on the mailback, he says, Benn and Danny Gee won't lie. I was upset I forgot to get a question in last week. Going back to the well this week, Nick and Wisconsin, the cheese capital of the World, says, would you rather have a driver, a butler, or a chef? If you were rich. You can only have one. Yeah, So I I like driving, unless it's it's bad rain that I don't want to drive anymore. I like cooking, so I would take a butler to

do my laundry in the clean up. I think the butler would be the way to go. What about you, nanny, I think I would actually go the chef route. Oh yeah, yeah, I love driving fast. I already have a butler. That's my wife. E Oh, shots fired there, sexist, No, you know what, truth be known. I'm her butler right now while she's prego. You are you are? You're her slave, Danny or whatever? Yes, yes, I am at the in

and out drive through at midnight for her. Yeah, but you know why, Like, I don't have a problem helping with stuff or on the house. If I'm at home and I'm not working, I don't mind helping. I help all I can. But the cooking, I know that's been a pain in the ass for my girl, and so I would like a chef to just cook us up some amazing meals, not too not three, not full, not five, not six seven times a day. There you go, make it happen, Nick. You know people, Nick make that happen.
