The Fifth Hour: "Fart Consultant" Mail Bag

the podcast Salt Mine eight days a week. It's like an old Beatles song, eight days a week, because clearly five nights a week not enough. On the overnight show, and I get to hang out with my old pal Danny G here and yap happy yep, and answer questions. We're all about answering questions, Danny G. Right, we're all about that action. No juice, that's right, no juice or do we have some juice? I don't know, Please give

me the question. They want the questions, Danny G. They want the email bag to be opened up, and so we'll we'll get into it right now. That's not waste any time. Here we go, Well, thanks to ohio Al who sent that one in a long ago and he knows it will get played every single week. It's gonna get a lot of airplay. It gotta thinking before we get into the mail bag. I know, I just played

the open, so we're supposed to do questions. But on yesterday's pod, on on the fifth hour Saturday edition, you were telling the story about the awkward transition the kids at the at the school you're at, and it reminded me of the famous Casey case Of meltdown. We're Casey did the top forty count that at the Premier Networks, our building where we work out of, and I'm returning and Casey had to do he had to do a dying dog thing, right a dog and it was coming

out of an upbeat song and get a meltdown. It was hilarious. His meltdown was because he's like, how the funk am I supposed to read the sad letter that upbeat record. I'm sick and tired. You know it's going We had to play that right here, I can play a little clip of Casey Cason on the podcast, right we can squeeze that in. Yes, this may seem to be a strange dedication request, but I'm quite sincere and it will need a lot if you play it. Recently,

there was a death in our family. He was a little dog named Schnuggles, but he was most certainly a part of let's going to start again from coming out of the record. You see when you come out of those upsample numbers, manage impossible whim to make those transitions, and then you got to go into somebody dying. Okay. I wanted to concerted effort to come out of a record that isn't a Campro record. Every time I do a gift dedication, least time I want somebody use this range.

Did not come out of a game record. That is uh that that's up Campro, and I gotta talk about a dying Casey Cason almost killed him, famous story. We've told it before. Well, I dodged him. But if I had not had cat like reflexes Danny, I would have no longer been doing the show, and I would have become the butt of many jokes for taking out the great Casey Cason, a beloved icon in broadcasting. But fortunately I avoided that and he lived a few more years after that, so it did not end up the way

it could have ended up. It was a middle a day situation anyway, a R. Let's get it do here. You've got mail. First one on the mailbag comes from

Pierre from Springfield. He says, Ben, with gas prices skyrocketing, are you more likely to ditch the mallamobile and broadcast from the north Woods permanently only traveling to places within walking distance or park the mallamobile and carpool to the FSR studios with Quaker Oates Fenley Uh, He says, well, Pierre, you obviously did not hear the podcast yesterday before you sent this, understand. But I will be going back part of the time, and I am debating maybe I can walk.

How many hours would it take for me to walk from the north Woods to the Fox Sports Radio studios, which would have to walk over several hill ranges, ranges of mountains to get there. I think it's four hours after four days, so four days and four hours. Yeah, it's not trigonometry. So I could do one show a week and then that's all I would do. I just like walk back home and then walk back to the studio. That makes sense, right, wrong? Yeah, why not? Says second question.

When in Chicago, did you have an authentic Polish sausage with extra relish? Uh? Well, Pierre, I did have the the traditional fair in in Chicago, but did not have the relish because I don't like see that was a leading question. Danny Pierre in Springfield has this weird obsession with pickles and obviously relish in the pickle family and all that. So yeah, that that was a leading question. Bye bye, Pierre. But are you a relish guy, Danny, I'm not a relish guy. I'm not a relish guy.

I do like a couple of pickles on my turkey sandwich. My chick is obsessed with pickles. She'll eat him out of the jar, which I think is kind of gross to just eat them by themselves. But I like him on a nice sandwich, though little taste. Yeah, I'm not I'm not a pickle guy. In my relationship with pickles starter when I was a little kid, my anti pickle position. Now,

I don't hate pickles. I like the smell of pickles, Like I used to go to Deli's a lot, like you know, Jewish deli when you're a kid growing up and you're the smell of the pickles. But there are different kinds of pickles. We've been in this. I've had this conversation with where we talked about this. I think with you, I talked about this different kinds of pickles there are, and uh, yeah, it's more of a texture thing for me. I don't like the texture of the pickles.

So that's why I'm anti pickle, much to the demand dismay of Pierre, who sent famously a couple of years back a giant gift basket filled with all kinds of pickle propaganda. See, I agree with you on the texture thing. That's why they need to be cut up and thinly sliced. People that just bite into it like it's a huge carrot. It grosses me out because of the texture. Yeah, it's it's disgusting. You should not do that. That's inappropriate. Bad job by whoever is doing come back, it's time from now.

Call Mike from Fullerton, He says, does the weekday show podcast have a noticeable bump whenever someone is censored, Like when Roberto said black pepper, but he didn't say black pepper, he said a different word. Other than the second word. He got the black part right, but he didn't get the last part or when callers say fuck or ship. He says, I know you would and you wouldn't encourage callers to curse, but I was wondering if you laugh

all the way to the bank when it does happen. Well, that's only been a few years where we've been allowed to leave that in the podcast. For a while, the company would not allow us to leave that stuff in the podcast. It's no, no, you gotta and everything out, edited, all the podcasts out. But fortunately they came to their senses and realized it's the Internet. Man, it's the old West. There's no FCC guide on the Internet. You can do whatever you want. You say ever, where do you want

on the Internet. No, you're exactly right. I used to have to bleep out anything that was questionable on podcasts, and about two years ago, I would say, they started to let us just go for it with the podcasting. So really, I mean, I don't know how listeners would know that there unless you titled it the episode where Ben Mallar accidentally set an F word. No, I think I think I think Mike is like talking about the caller. Should we get you know, doing the overnight show, we

get people, they are hammered. I mean, is he talking about downloads or yeah? I think he's talking about downloads, like we get a bump up. I don't know. I guess if the word of mouth or something like that, like oh man, I was listening to Mallard yesterday and this guy said this and that, then maybe there might be some extra downloads. That's an interesting question. Yeah, I have to look into the data or data take that for data? Whatever? Should we do that on this podcast?

Should we? Should? We? I know what thing? Week? We had a tremendous weekend. Last week we've downloads, so thank you to everybody that downloaded our podcast. What did we do that was so magical? That was so special last week? Did we have extra fart sound effects? Is that what we had? Yeah? I actually used fart one and fart two mm four extra times. Really yeah? All right, well that is it's great, alright, wonderful news. We're eleven year

old says that fart one sounds juicier? Is that right? Okay? Alright, no, she, honest to God said that because I showed her the two different fart effects and asked for her opinion on which one I should use last weekend well, and and when it comes to farting, there's no better than like an eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifth year right in that wheelhouse. It's like Nirvana for farts, is what it is. Some shows have deo consultants who get paid tons of money.

We have an eleven year old who analyzes fart sound effects. Yeah, well, good job by the eleven year what's it. What's your name? What's Cloe? Chloe? Good job, Chloe, outstanding job by you. You are unpaid, underappreciated, and you get a producing credit on the podcast, and Danny will make sure that you get an extra scoop of ice cream. I think, did she like ice cream? Uh? Frozen yogurt? Oh, yogurt. I'm a I'm a purist. I like the ice cream, but teach the wrong part which rhymes with fart. Yeah, I

got you, I got you. Let's see, I got mail, Yeah, I got mail. Yeah. So sweet Potato Bob rights in from Cincinnati, Ohio. And every time I see the name of Cincinnati, I think of a radio station that does not exist, that was based in Cincinnati, that everyone around my age and Danny G's age used to watch when we were kids and thought, someday we'll be on a radio station just like that station in Cincinnati w kay R P right, great station, a receptionist with big buzzoms yes.

And then we realized we got into night radio and there is no one there other than occasionally the most important employee at a radio station, the one that cleans up occasionally shows up at the radio station because there's a bunch of animals that work at the radio station, so it's always nice when that person shows up to clean up a little more, or a security guard with

trash bags filled with comic books. Now, one thing I am excited about Danny is the fact that since I occasionally will be going back to the hallowed hallways, the mothership of Fox Sports Radio, that means I can start playing some of the bits that I did in the past, Like every Sunday night I would come mean and the bit I didn't use every Sunday. I'm exaggerating, but I would go through the trash in the studio. What the hosts on the weekend at Fox Sports Radio we're eating.

And so I haven't able to do that because I haven't been there, but now I can do it. Now I can do it. Entire segment about leftover food, And it always fascinates me because if you're eating a turkey sandwich and you eat seventy of the sandwich, why do you have to throw it away in the studio? Why not walk down the hall? Because what's gonna happen if you leave rotting food in there on a Saturday morning or a Saturday afternoon. By the time it gets picked

up on Monday morning? What are you thinks happening to that food? That dogs licked that whole thing. They need their mother to follow them around and clean up. So sweet potato, Bob and sitsine. He says, I, I'm sorry, Bob, I got sided. Ben. If you got lured away from the podcast into the Monday night football play by play game Big Money uh and could pick your color man Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Troy Aikman, Danny g or Gascon and why all right? So I wouldn't take Peyton Manning

because Peyton annoys me. Cut that me. I wouldn't take Tom Brady because I think he's gonna be terrible. I wouldn't take Aikman, because I think he's pretty played out at this point. I am a monkey fan. Gascon would annoy me, so I guess I'd go with you day by process of elimination, you, Danny g would be my wingman in the broadcast booth calling Monday night football. I won't be offended. You could say I'd be the color man. You know, I think how much fun that would be.

What a great job Monday night football doing football if you if that's your only game. Not a lot of those guys have other things going on. They have to call those sports. But if your only job is to call twenty football games a year, give or take right, a couple of exhibition games, and well not even twenties, like seventeen regular season games, but it's it's built over eighteen weeks. So let's say, but twenty games and that's it, and the rest of the year. You got not to

worry about how great a gig is that. That's how Michael's that's what he does now. Aw, Michael's right. I'd want to be like Booger on the sideline though for you. But a gmobile hooked up to a high pressured water hoose where I could where I could just knock back fans at each stadium. Yeah. No, that the the Danny Gmobile. You could be the I Candy like Booger was. You can be the I Candy and and that's great. Why not women? Yeah, now, sweet Potato Bob, since you brought

that up, you have to make that happen. You have to make sure to make that happen. Glenn listener, Glenn from Chicago City. I was just in a few weeks back. He says, Hey, Ben, you mentioned on air that you had a run in with the Great One. When why and what happened? Yeah, this is the thing that Roberto hijacked and took out of context what I said and twisted around to make me sound like a dirty person. But I will tell the story. And so back in my younger days as a radio reporter for the mighty

six nine in San Diego. But it was a border blaster station and it had the l A market covered. They were so powerful in l A. They had the l A King's radio contract. The games were on this station which was based in in Mexico, Baja Mexico. Who the studios were in San Diego. But anyway, so I was in l A. I was the reporter Wayne Gretzky number gets traded. The Kings weren't very good. He gets

traded to the St. Louis Blue. I get a phone call from the sports director at the Mighty s. Hey, Gretzky's on his way to St. Louis, but he's stopping at a hotel near l a X and there's a news conference. He's gonna say goodbye to Los Angeles before he gets on a plane and joins the Blues wherever they are. And the guy's like, listen, here's what I want you to. I want you to go down there, and I want you to wait till the thing's over, and I want you to get Gretzky to call in

to the show because it was showing. I said, sure, no problem, I'll go down there. What could possibly go wrong, I'll I'm working for the station, the Kings are on the station. I'll go down there. I'll get Wayne Gretzky. So I go down Gretzky has given his bull crap answers all the cliches. I loved l A. Sad to leave all that stuff, blank my blank and blank you. And so I'm waiting there off to the side and

Gretzky gets done. He's walking out and I'm like hey, and he's surrounded by pr handlers, And as I remember the story, I'm like, hey, Mr Gretzky, it's Ben. I worked for the you know, the Mighty six nine in San Diego. We'd like to get John for a couple of minutes. And he looks at me, and he looks down, and then he looks back at me, and he keeps walking and just completely as I said on the air, he uh, well, I'm not gonna say what I said on here because I don't get hijacked again. He declined

my invitation. I might have used a different term that involves blowing, but he declined my invitation to come on the radio station. So that was my interaction. So you're saying the great Wayne Gretzky blew you off. Well, I think I did say exactly that. Actually I think I said exactly that on the air, and that got twisted around, especially in a parking lot near l a X. All too good to be true. Yeah, that's that's what happened with with Wayne Gretzky. I didn't interview him a number

of times. He's very nice, very kind man. And I believe still lives in Thousand Oaks in that area in southern California. Believe that's his home base, although he's now a broadcaster for Turner. Right, he's working for turn I think he's working for turn Yeah. I saw him a couple of months ago at lamp Post Pizza here. Really he had a big bowl of rants right in the middle of the table. Boom. He's one of your people. Wayne Gretzky's eating lamp Post pizzas that actor, right, the

man of people, Wayne Gretzky, greatest of all time. Glenn also says I heard that spin cycle Regina is available. Can you please have her? Give me a hall. He then gave his number here, I have Glenn in Chicago's number. I do not believe we should give that out on the podcast, So I will not give that out on the podcast where the white women at It's a six three oh number, and he says, it's your it's your version of match dot com dot com. Well, I set up Regina and Doc Mike and they had a falling out.

Regina said she called up. She says she's available, and so Glenn in Chicago that's not that far. You can drive over to Minnesota to hang out with Regina. She can visit Chicago for a weekend. Wrong, let's move on. It is the mail bag. The mail bag that's right. Next up is Barry in the Music City of Nashville, listening to the podcast. He says, Yo yo mob, Benny, what is the backstory of how Andrea these sports sorceress ever got to be such a fixture on your show? Yeah,

so I'll give you the story, Barry. Why not you want to the story? Andreas started calling the show a number of years ago, and the reason she has become the person she is on the show is perseverance. That's it. She's just kept calling and and she's been part of the show, and she's had a lot to say and whatnot, and she's just continually putting in the effort and she's willing to stay on hold for a while. She's very persistent, and and that is why she keeps on trucking, and

so she's become a part of the showing. She's very polarizing, noime. I've noticed there's some people that really enjoy what she does, and there's other people that get very upset and send me nasty messages. Why are you putting her on, which I believe is a good thing, Danny. You don't want you want everyone to love you, and you don't want everyone to hate you. You You want to be somewhere in the middle. Yeah. I feel like she's somewhere in the middle.

She's the Derek Carr of your callers. Yeah, the middle of the bell curve. Right in the middle of the bell curve, for sure, for sure, polarizing. All right, next up here, let me see now this. I did not get a name. I did not shut down a name on this. Some of these people are on Facebook, Danny. No matter how many times you say, put your name there, put your name there, they don't do it. So now I gotta go back and I gotta click this button,

and then I got to click another button. But this thing's not loading, and I'm gonna get the name, but I'll read the the question first. Actually, here, it has just come up. As I am speaking with multitasking you listen to our live coverage of the fifth Hour podcast. We are add Living. We are now add Living on the podcast is where I sup? All right? This is from Brianna. Brianna writes in as she says from the Greatest Venue of Golf, Tulsa, Oklahoma, And she says, what

is your favorite off strip casino in Vegas? Have you been to an aviator's game? Do you enjoy bowling and arcades aside from gambling in Vegas? I? As far as off the strip, I mean, I've I've stayed at a few places off the strip. I don't none of them particularly stand out, although I do love Fremont Street, which is off the strip. To me, that's the more authentic

Vegas and that doesn't necessarily involve gambling. But every time I go to Vegas, I try to make it a priority of mine to get to the Fremont Street experience, especially around midnight or one in the morning when the freaks come out and it's just it's Venice Beach. I was starting to a buddy of mine of radio about this. We were talking about how there are so many of these type of venues like Fremont Street, Venice Beach. New Orleans has their own version of that, Miami South Beach.

I love you the Jersey Boardwalk to some degree, It's like this is the things sprinkled, all of them sprinkled all over the country that have that. You have these little spots, And for me, I love Fremont Street off any off the strip hotel other than Fremont Street, Danny that you figure. I say that the Orleans a few times. That's not on the strip, I mean, not a hotel. But I would say I have fond memories at that outlet that's almost out of business. Oh yeah, that's gone.

Don't go there. It's so depressing. Oh my god. No, how far out of Vegas is that? Give it take like an hour maybe a little less than an hour out of Vegas right on. It's called in Prim Prim, Nevada, right on the border, last down in Nevada. I would go DJ at some clubs in Vegas and MC and we would make a lot of money. But then we would choose a bad time to drive back with the

DJ crew. The bumper to bumper traffic was so bad that we would all just pull off and go to the outlet there and eat and walk around the shops and kill time. But uh, COVID hit those outlets hard. Oh it's unreal. It was so depressing. I was like I felt like I was in a movie and It's a place that I had spent a lot of time because, like you going to Vegas a lot and commuting via car from l A. I always stopped and there was a store that was in there that I got a

lot of my shirts from. Like they had really cheap, nice shirts, like dress shirts and stuff, so I would shop there. And they had tall size. On a tall guy, it's hard to get shirts that fit right. Why long? And I love that place in in Prim and I will probably never go there again unless I'm told it's opened up and it's back in business. And you think that somebody would want to buy that on the cheap. I saw that it was sold at auction for pennies on the dollar and it just dried up because the

pandemic people weren't driving to Vegas. But now they're driving to Vegas. Yeah, so let's bring it back, baby. We could buy it on our salaries. Danny could live in Prim. Yeah, mount make it Mallerland. Well, that's a great idea for the name. I could do the Overnight Show from Nevada like Art Bell from Peromp, I'll do it from Prim, from the Kingdom of Prim. I love that Art Bell, the Kingdom of Nai because he lived in Ni County, Nevada. I love that. That's so funny. I've never been to

an Aviators game. I have not the Triple A team there in Vegas. I remember when they were called the Las Vegas Stars back in the day. That team is not long for the world. Vegas is gonna get an NBA team and a baseball team within the next five, five, ten years. I would from what I've heard, Matt writes in az the mail bag rules, You've got mail Matt from Dallas Fort Worth says you've suffered a few losses,

and he says, and then mallar militia this past year. Wait, maybe we Uh, what are your plans to reverse the trend? Says Man. So is Matt blaming us for the listeners that have met there their end at the pearly gates? Are we responsible for that? I mean we just do a goofy, you know, radio shop. Sounds like your monologues drive people to drink. Yeah, yeah, I'm a good companion. I've been told over the years, it's go to liquor store, buy some whiskey, come back and listen to Mallard. Hello Joe, Hi,

I like to Saint. That's that's how that goes. Ben Mallard the best drug paraphernalia on the radio, smoke weed. Well, we did have that guy in the Bay Area that was going to name a strand of weed after each of us on the show. But I don't happen with that guy. Yeah, man, it's it's a it's part of the overnight radio experience. I don't know how else to say it. What are you smoking? I got some Benny Blizzard. Yeah, stop a cigarette and night landed in my hoodie and

I can't it's my beautiful white fuzzy hoodie. Terry and England rights in is the mail bag? I got mail? Yeah, I got mad. Terry says it must be time for an England meet and greet. Surely been well, Terry. I will make a promise you. At some point my wife will drag my ass to your neck of the woods in England. And so when that happens, I'm guessing that will probably hit the big cities, the big tourist areas where Americans visit your country. And so when that happens

to you're gonna have to meet me something. We'll make that happen we'll hang out. And Terry is a man of mystery. We don't know what Terry looks like. He has his avatar is like a generic forty Niner guy, so we don't really know. It'll be a great mystery. But I would like to meet you and who exactly. But the other problem too is, as we pointed out with the Appleton, Wisconsin meet and greet, these meet and greets, unless it's geographically desirable and right in your back yard,

people don't like to go out of the way. And I understand that. I understand people don't like to do that. But I learned that lesson in Appleton, Wisconsin. And we had a bunch of, you know, good turnout from people from Green Bay and Appleton and whatnot, but we had people that said from Minnesota, they're gonna drive over. Not a single one. Not that I'm bitter, Danny, and I bring that up every single time I bring up the Appleton meet and greed. I just wanted, I just wanted to,

you know, pass that on. Patricia in Vegas says, when you do the third degree says, she says, do you have the questions in amaze? It seems like your answers are ready, it's not. If not, then you are quick on your feet with the answers. Well, this would fall into the category, Patricia, we're never supposed to let people know how we make the hot dogs. Ef earf right, Danny, there's a bit of mystery that is around the radio show, the moving parts of the radio show. Who does what?

Who's responsible for what? Dumber for having listened to it? Hi, I Q. Then some of the mystery has taken out, Yeah, some of that. But I have a general idea. How about that? A general idea of what what my might be out there? Does that answer your question? Patricia in ves she used to listen in the Northeast, and then she moved out to Vegas, living her greatest life. All right, come back at it's time from that, I'll call all right.

Next up, Cliff from Nashville rights and he says, man, it was announced this week that Raising Canes is coming to Tennessee. But it's in Cooksville. What the f is it worth? An hour and a half dry? Now? Cliff points out that he has bow Jangles a half a beer drive from the house. So the way I will answer this, Cliff is Raising Caynes is a wonderful chicken finger place. To me, it's the top chicken figure restaurant.

I might go there one time, but then you're gonna fall in love with it, and then you're gonna want to go more, and then that becomes a problem. I would wait because I've looked at the Raising Canes website. They are expanding all over the place. So if they're an hour and a half away, I would bet within a couple of years they'll be right in your neighborhood. They'll have a Raising Canes in in Nashville. You're saying, don't even try it yet because it'll be like a

greasy mistress. Yeah, and then you're gonna be okay. Ever, you Saturday, I gotta make an hour and a half dry, which is three hours round trip. I think of it mantrip. Where are you going, honey, I'm going to the library. Yes, I'm going to the chicken finger library. Yes, I am going to send I'm gonna run some errands. Yes, some three hours of my life I will spend to buy

chicken fingers with the cane sauce. That's that's gonna be my move there, Bane Wowser's uh yeah, but bojenos, A good bonenko is a solid there's more on the menu. I will tell you that all you get at Raising Canes is the chicken finger. Even their sandwiches just chicken fingers side by side. That's all it is. It's not a chicken breast, not a chicken patty at all. It's just the same old deal. So that's that is that alright.

So I'm gonna change gears here. And I mentioned on the radio show Danny, we do not we did not talk about the tragedy that took place in you all the Texas this week, the shooting at the school. And I got an email from a guy that you probably know the person's name about this, and I was debating whether or not to read it, I said, or not

to do it on the radio show. I thought I would save it for for the hardcore p ones that are part of the podcast Danny, because it's just I feel like it's a it's a better form here to do that than do it on the radio show. Yeah, And we did talk about it a little bit on Saturday's podcast. Yeah. So I saw this name and if you listen to the lame joke segment that we do every Friday. This has been one of our more consistent joke. Right,

it's pretty funny. Guy. I always like this guy because he always sends Laker jokes, A lot of Laker jokes. Anybody on the Clippers is a half of what Kobe Bryant is. I think he does that because he knows that I'll read them, and he likes that. And he's also is a San Antonio so I guess he's a experson. I'm gonna read the email, he says, an open letter. He headlined this an open message to the Mallard militia. So that's the headline on this open message to the

Malam militia. So I'm gonna read it, and I'm not gonna add anything. I'll just read it verbatim here and then we'll react to it in a bit. Says greetings. Usually when I email this account, it is to send a lame joke, some of which are read, some are skipped. I used to handle George from San Antonio because I lived there for fifteen years before moving to you'vald to become a teacher. And he sent this the day after the He says, before yesterday, who had ever heard of you?

That all changed this week when a deranged lunatic committed a horrific act. I am writing to ask for the thoughts, prayers, and support of the Mallard Militia as we start the recovery process. We are a small, tightly knit familiar what's the word here, uh, familiar is that the world I think, yeah, community that has devastated had been devastated obviously by by the shooting at rob Elementary. My students lost brothers, sisters, cousins,

friends and neighbors. This will be a long process, but I am heartened by the fact that I have this show to bolster my spirits when I will have to find a way to be as strong as my students

when they need me need me to be says. That's from George from Uvaldi, and he is a math teacher at a school just down the street from the elementary school, and as he said in the email that you know, it's a small, smaller town and his his students had younger brothers, sisters, cousins, friends of their neighbors in the neighborhood that went to that elementary school. And so that's that's George from Uvaldi who sent in and George obviously have the the full support of me and Danny g

I'm sure and all of us. And even though we didn't get into it on the show for reasons we talked about on Saturday, trust me, like everyone else, I've been following the story and been pretty pretty depressed. It's been it's been one of those deals where you know, we try to put on a happy face, right, Danny, like the show must go on that kind of anyway, You're kind of like, this is I'm breaking down some

NFL story and it's really just really necessary. But but to hang in there, George, No, it made it hard to work for everybody on Tuesday. Just make the sick to your stomach, and how do you focus on some other things that aren't important as human life and you know you've got to keep moving on. It's it's tough though, especially for those connected to it, and like I said on Saturday's podcast, for anybody that works with students, works in a school or on a campus. Uh, there's questions

that need to be answered. Asshole got onto the campus, you know, I know a lot of campuses have an actual police officer now posted inside a lot of locked doors that you have to get through. Yeah, and it's it's a fine line because you don't want to make a school of police state. You want kids to be kids. You don't want them to go in and have to go through some barbed wires. And I agree with you,

it shouldn't be like walking into a prison. But at the same time, in this world we live in nowadays, I mean, it kind of does have to be a little bit fort box on the outside of each school. I would think, yeah, at least to tour crazy people from even thinking about doing something to kids. Yeah, you know, it's it's it's one of these things, and everyone's got a different opinion on how to solve it. Nobody has the answer. But in my experience, a lot of people

are trying to politician. You gotta write laws for this, But I've always thought that the people that do this bad stuff don't follow the law. So what's you know, not that you shouldn't have laws, but the people that commit these acts, they're not following the law. So does that make people feel better that you put more laws in there? You know, I think you gotta you gotta try to figure it out. And I go back to the mental health and the the institutions they used to have.

They and I think it was Ronald Reagan, who I like as a president, but in his administration they got rid of if I if I'm not mistaken, they got rid of the mental hospitals. Are cut back that a lot, and you know, here we are years later, and I think that's part of the a big part of the issue here. So yeah, no, I think a lot of people would agree with you. All Right, Well, good luck, George. I'm sorry, man, and our thoughts are with you. Talk about a small world. I've heard his jokes on your show.

I would have never thought that he was a math teacher in that town. Yeah. When I got that email, because I was putting the jokes together and I got as I wait a minute, I clicked on because I saw George's name, like, well, George must have sent some jokes, and I'm like, no, no, this is not this is this is a serious thing. So anyway, it's just terrible and I appreciate that email absolutely. All right, we'll get

back to the regular shenanigans here. Yes, Fred from Spring Texas says, have either of you watched a cricket match? Did you understand the game. Well, you'll be happy to know. Not only have I watched the cricket match, I've been preempted. I used to have a weekly radio bit in New Zealand on their sports network, which went out of business

when the pandemic started. But I would go on there every week and occasionally I would be told, hey, you can't come on today because there's a cricket match and we don't know when it's gonna said, well, come on, what's gonna three hours? Four hours? No, it might be three days, it might be seven days. Yeah, so I have I have witnessed the sport of cricket. What about you, Danny G? Have you ever watched the cricket match late at night or on the internet somewhere. I've seen it

on TV late at night. I don't understand it. So I only watched for a couple of minutes. Definitely something that we did not grow up with at all. And so yeah, it would be interesting to maybe take like a half hour class a good instructor, an entertaining instructor explaining the game. I'd be down for that. And I like more than than cricket is Ozzy rules football tonight, Mike.

That's pretty cool. I watched that actually got into that a little bit because of some of the fans we have in Australia that sent me some propaganda on this podcast about Ozzy rules football, and I thought it was pretty pretty neat watching some of the games and the different weird rules they have and how crazy everyone is. Come back, It's sign from Cale. Do a couple more.

Bobby from Dallas says favorite breakfast spot in Vegas. Well, this one's easy for me, and I think you'll probably agree with me Danny on this, but maybe not my go to. And I'm not a big breakfast guy. I my wife loves breakfast, so she'll drag me to breakfast. I'm more of a lunch dinner guy. But when I eat breakfast in Vegas, Hash House and Go Go, that's

the spot for me. Is the spot. There's several locations in Vegas and they give you pancakes, and I don't want I don't want to embellish how big the pancakes are, and I'm gonna keep this conservative. They're the size of the moon. Gratty bait taste like bo The pancakes are the size of the moon, and they stack them up and everything is jumbo jumbo sized that hash house and go go, so make sure that you are very hungry.

You're a hungry hungry hippo when you go there. Any other breakfast spots stand out there in Vegas, Danny, I do have one for you, the Black Bear Diner. Okay, you've seen those in lots of different cities. I don't know if they have them on the East Coast. I'll have to look into that, but there is one near the new Allegiance Stadium, and Pete Rose goes there every week like clockwork. He goes to the Black Bear Diner near Allegiance Stadium. Lots of Raider fans have run into

him and taking pictures with him. So if you want a good meal and you get to meet old Pete, who we've been efforting to get on this podcast, yes, that's the spot to go right there. So we should just bring a recorder and go to the diner and we can then have Pete man Foe drizzle our last one from Paul in Great Falls, Montana. He says, hey is a sporting question. Does the Pack twelve have a puncher's chance of making the college football play? I say yes,

I say yes. There's a new sheriff in town, Lincoln Riley at USC. And if he's as good as advertised, now I have my doubts because it's not like he built Oklahoma into what Oklahoma was. He inherited a wonderful program from Bob Stoops and kept the ship sailing. But all my friends that are USC boosters and the people that I know around USC are so excited about Lincoln Riley.

They're like, oh my god, I think we were talking about I might have to go back to the USC games because they'll be cool again at the Coliseum there with Lincoln Ridy. But that's the one. Other than that, Oregon will have a good team again. They'll be in the mix. The problem is, yeah, the Pack twelve. There's so many mediocre teams in the Pack twelve that I think it's gonna it's gonna hurt the big picture. Maybe

you run the table. If USC runs the table or Oregon runs the table or loses only one game and has an amazing, amazing season, and I say they will get in, I'm going, Yes, I'm being Benny Brightside on this one. That's what I am. Then I'm Benny bright said in this one so as the kids say, l f G the best players that NI L money can buy baby, Yes, get the businesses, all the big boosters. Right those checks, those oversized checks, and make sure they don't bounce, and you'll be good to go. All we

gotta get out of here, Danny. Anything to promote now, I'm on Cameo. If you want a Cameo message, you can do that. And I will be returning to the Fox Sports radio studios this week a few days, a few days every week I will be in the studio and it could change every week. Some days will be one day, another next week the next, so who knows. And it is also around this podcast, which is done from the north Woods. Have you decided if you're gonna come in studio tonight when I'm there, I have not

decided as a game time decision. That is a game time decision. But I'm sure I will run into you, Danny. I will be in there on the Sunday night in the Monday morning at some point. But again I saw I'll be starting that on Cameo as well. Cameo is a website. You want a video message, a birthday bar Mitzvah's weddings, funerals, you name it, Heltho. I've not really done any funerals in order. I really want to. But I am on there for this personalized Ben Mallard video.
