The Fifth Hour: "Leave the Light On For Ya" Mail Bag

the air. Everywhere. The Fifth Hour main bang, hanging out, blabbing away all weekend long, because four hours a night or not at off we do eight days a week, eight days a week. We are hanging out with you here in the audio dojo, and it's a big Sunday extravagance. We've got the mail bag. But before we get to the mail bag, originally I think we're gonna do this on Friday, and then we're gonna do on a set today,

and we've got to do it right now. We need to get scientifical, is what we need to do, and time shifted it for ratings purposes exactly exactly. So let's get into the science world. These are actual stories that cut our attention and in honor of Penn and Teller, these old comedians who used to have a TV show that was called Bullshit. We will determine whether we believe

this stuff or we think it's bullshit. Here's a story that was sent in by Alf the Alien opiner from Springfield, mass says, the dogs of Chernobyl are experiencing rapid evolution according to or the henines have acquired big subheadline strange mutations because they live near Chernobyl. And so the studies people have been science has been there trying to study

all these things. A new study analyzed the DNA of three hundred two feral dogs living near the power plant, compared the animals to others living ten miles away and found amazing differences. And so the study does not prove that radiation is the cause of these things, but it provides, they say, the first step in analyzing what's going on.

So this Chernobyl thing all the way back to nineteen eighty six, when that happened April of nineteen eighty six and the meltdown and all that happened there, and here we are forty almost forty years later, and they're still figuring out what's going on. Nobody can live in that area. It's all messed up. But they've got feral dogs, a

bunch of other animals. These are the descendants of pets left behind when everyone was trying to get out of Chernobyl because the thing exploded and all that, and so they went through us in the they're in the Chernobyl exclusion zone. They say it's the size of Yosemite National Park. And it's all about trying to figure out the what happens when you're exposed to radiation, how it has altered the DNA of these animals. And they say, even speeding up evolution, is that a bad thing or a good thing?

Maybe that's a good thing. That could be a good thing, right. Maybe it sounds creepy, Yeah, it does, it does it? As they started examining the DNA three hunder two feral dogs found around that area, and the New York Times had a story on this. They dug into it, and they're trying to figure out exactly what's going on. They've been analyzing all kinds of animals. They're including rodents, birds and whatnot, but this is focusing on dogs. And from the sounds of this, it sounds like they think that

the as I said, the mutations are taking place. Things are being sped up that aren't supposed to be sped up, or maybe they are supposed to be sped up and we don't know about it. Well, that's interesting. Next up from the from the ocean, the Immortal jellyfish. They found scientists that found a jellyfish they claim that can practically

turn back time. They're they're saying that they're going to use what this jellyfish does and they hope to bring this to the human world and that will benefit from this. Of course, chances of that happening are slim and none. But these these jellyfish, they do not die a natural death they age, but instead they return to infancy. So instead of dying, they just returned infancy. How crazy is that? Like Benjamin Button, Yeah, they're trying to figure out how

they do that. It was an interesting story I checked out, so if you're interesting that you can you can check it out. And there's a bunch of stories on science platforms about aging. Can humans stop the aging process? They there's one report that says humans can stop but not fully reverse aging. So there's there's that report, and then there's another report that says that you know, by twenty thirty you'll be able to to create like an an avatar of yourself, And so some wild tales out there

in the science world. I think we'll leave that alone. There were some other stories, but I want to get to the mailbag. Danny g Let's do it. That's what Sundays are famous for. It's okay, Ohio, al thank you yet again? First up on the mailback, Mike in Fullerton rights and he says, Hey, Bannon, Danny Gee, I have a few questions on radio caller etiquette. He says, Is it more annoying for a caller to talk over you

or leave dead air? With slow responses? He says, even though you always have a snarky response, ready, would you be fine with never being asked? How are you doing? Ever? Again? Is that worst way to start a call? So I answer that one first. It is a terrible way to start a call. But it's what everyone does. Everyone does. They all do this. It's like how you doing? It's like you don't know what to do and you get nervous, and so it's a natural reaction. And it's like why

we say the word hello? They could have we talked about this on the podcast. I don't know, maybe with you, Danny. I don't maybe before you were on the podcast. But originally, when the phone was invented, they had to come up with a way so somebody on the other line when you called somebody and you were talking, what the introduction would be, and they decided on hello. The other option was a hoy. They were considering saying a hoy yeah,

and that was under consideration. It is an awkward thing, and I get asked more on the radio how am I doing than anywhere else in life. Do you get asked anywhere else, Danny, how are you doing today? No? I mean because customer service is pretty shitty nowadays at stores, at restaurants ever since COVID. It seems like so we don't really hear that that often the one thing that's a pet peeve is and not. This doesn't really apply to your show because a lot of your callers are

regular callers that everybody knows. But on like Covino and Rich, where it's random callers from different cities, I'll scream the call. Ramos has it pretty loud in the studio. So I'm doing the very best I can to hear the caller, but I type it as Tom in Arkansas, and when he gets on the air, he corrects the hosts and he's like, it's Tom, not Tom. Yeah, your name could

be fruit loop. It doesn't matter. To the point, Well, to that person, the sweetest sound in the language is the name of you know, their voice, the name I should say in your voice and whatever. But I know I get another pet peeve of caller etiquette for Mike and fuller to no relation to furg dog at all, no relation to furg dog at all. Another pet peeve is I was talking to your screener. That is That is a pippie because the magic, part of the magic

of radio is that it's that's the conversation. No one knows what happens off the air. So if you're referencing I was talking to your screener, that's that's that's not to me, that's a pain in the in the behind, because you're like, you're ruining the whole magic. Nobody heard that. That's a private conversation. You don't need to share every

private conversation, understand you know what I mean? Danny, And let me preface this by saying, I love the callers that participate in the topics, but don't tell me your whole story. To your point, Ben, save it for on air. That's something we tell each other a lot in the hallways. When we start laughing about something, you'll hear someone say save it for on air, save it, save it for on air. And when I screen the calls, I'll say, what's your name, what's your city? Thank you for calling?

Which topic are you calling in about? And that's all you gotta answer. It's just, Oh, I'm calling about the Costco clothes you guys were talking about. Okay, great, And I type that in on the screen so the guys can see what you're calling about. But what I get is, well, you guys were talking about Costco clothes. And let me

tell you. You know, when I go there with my wife and I'm sitting there and there's no nice way for me to interrupt and get off that line, but all the other lines are ringing, and it's like that scene in Jerry McGuire where all the other lines start disappearing because he's on the one call. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hear yeah, it's save it for on air. You're like trying to herd cats or something like that when you're

you're doing that with the phones. And Mike also says, what do you both think is the most common reason you'd say a call was a bad call? All of the above everything we've talked about two And to go back to the first point you the first question you asked, Mike, I would much rather have someone talk over me than be half half there where they're not even paying attention.

That's that's bad. That's I'd rather have you sleeping where I can hear you snore than where you're you're kind of there but you're not really there, or you're you're having a conversation with someone else. That's also a paint in the behind, or any of the slow responses and all that. Next up on the mailback, John in Northern Colorado says, do you guys ever argue with your lady

over the proper loading of the dishwasher? Yeah? So, we we have discussed this in the past as things go flying here in the studio, but we have discussed in the past. I am the dishwasher at the mallor mansion, and I handle that my my wife. The reason I'm the dishwasher is my wife used to be the dishwasher and the food would It was insane how much food

was at the bottom of the dishwasher. And so I decided I made an executive decision because it was one of the most disgusting things I'd ever seen, because my wife thought it was like out of the jetsins or something. You just put it in there and it cleans everything and you don't have to wash off the dishes at all, and it was really bad. They were like peas and macaroni and spaghetti at the bottom of the dishwasher. Was disgusting. Good now that, yeah, that's gross. I mean the dishwasher

is basically just to polish off the job. You are supposed to clean the dishes yourself and then put them in there so when I load the dishwasher there is no food evidence whatsoever. Yeah, it's a sanitized thing. The dishwasher is really hot sanitizes, but you got to wash it before and yeah, you're exactly, it's like the final

the final push. Next up on the mail bag Frank Rights and from part zon on he says, what's the best or doors or doors orders and that you've had it a mine was grilled cheese with shots of tomatoes soup at my cousin's wedding. Wow, that sounds good. Yeah, that is pretty good. I've had some decent wedding appetizers. I love those little mini tacos. Those mini takidos are pretty good. About the little pigs in a blanket not bad, not bad. Mini corn dogs which is the pick corn

on the top, that's not bad at all. I like that Terryoki on a stick, Teryoki all piece of teryoki, chicken on the sticks to go to. I don't mind that. I'm trying to think those are usually the go to Eddie. When Eddie got married, he made sure my meal was chicken fingers, which was very nice because he knew I didn't want to eat wedding food like that rubber chicken. At the wedding his wife, Karen and Eddie they made sure that I had the kid's menu, but I had

an adult portion. My lips have been on it, so that was that was pretty nice. Thanks for that, Frank Nick in Wisconsin right since its banning Danny Gee, if you have your choice, are you choosing traditional toilet paper or would you rather have a bidet? I cannot wait for the Minnesota meet and greet will Thank you, Nick. I'm looking forward to meeting you May twentieth. Let me know if you're interested in purchasing one of those shirts that I'll I'll have. Maybe I already have it up.

I don't know this weekend here. So to answer Nick's question, I have become a fan of the bidet, Danny, I gotta tell you, really, Yeah, something I never thought I would be a fan of. I feel very clean with the bidet. I I don't like that feeling though, of wetness there right. I wish that there was a better way to dry. The drying process is the problem. But you can you can use both. You could do the bidet and then it's much like we just we just

talked about. Yeah, the dishwashers the closer, So you could argue the bidet is the main event, and then the closer to come into Mariano Rivera to close out the ninth inning would be just a little piece of toilet paper. I might as well just stick to what I already do is the baby wipes, Daddy. Yeah, but you're not even to flush the baby wipes. You're not supposed to flush it because it destroys the plumbing in your house. Oh, I destroy everybody's plumbing. Okay, all right. I used to

do that too, and then I got a lecture. There's a brand or two where they have proven that they will not back up plumbing. So go with those two brands. I don't know but that I'm a little some cheap costco kind though. That yeah, boy, that Kirkland brand that'll back up an entire hotel. You wash your mouth out with soap and water. Next up on the mail bag, let's see here. I think this is from our buddy in Phoenix, and he says, what games did you have

on your cell phone? Or what which do you recommend? Are you playing any games on your cell phone? I think that's the question. You do want any gaming, Danny right now? On the phone? Anything stand out there? You know, I only have one game on my cell phone, and it is that Airplane game nineteen forty two. That's your game, that's your that's the game. That's the go to game when I'm waiting in a long line to pick up food. So to answer the question, I have also like you,

we're very similar in that regard. I have one game at a time that I play a lot of and the game right now that I play is let me, let me get it up for you here, giggy, I've this button here, and my go to game is scrabble. I'm a I'm a big scrabble guy. That was by the way, Lee, our buddy Lee in the Valley of the Sun. At least he's a good guy. And yeah, so I I play scrabble, and I usually play a game until I get burned out on I played Tetris. Has been my game before Solitaire, but now currently now

it's scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble. What else we have? Fred in Spring Texas writes in on the mail bag. He says, Hey, guys, do either of you have mementos you keep that remind you of your parents or your grandparents? He says, really enjoy the show, thank you? Fred. Yes, yes, absolutely, both my parents were gone unfortunately, so I have photos and you know, pretty much everything from my youth that

my parents were involved in. I have a few things spread around the house to remind me of the good times with my mom and my dad, and so absolutely I have I have several things around there. Anything for your your grandparents, Danny, anything you want to you know, share that you have. Yeah, my grandfather left me a really cool it's like this little Bentley leather bag. He held his pipe in it. That's how old school it is. Smoke weed every day. Oh that's cool. There you go,

all right, very good. Next up we have ozzywas from Western Australia, he writes, and he says, high mates, Benny the Bopper and microphone throttler. My question for this week have you ever had to wear a uniform for a job or a particular event for work? Just my items of no choice for work are a high is long pants and shirt with reflective tape, steel cap boots and a hard hat. Says Ozzy was out in Australia, so

not really working in radio. I've had to wear like station gear at events and that's a that's about it. And when I did stuff with the Dodgers, you had to wear nice clothes on the plane. You had to dress up for that. But not that's not wearing steel cap boots. What about No, you're right, our entire careers have boiled down to staff t shirts. Yes, and photo occasionally photoshoots with jackets and sers. And things like that. But that's about it. Yeah, that's about it. Let's see.

Next up, we have Callaghan Tim from Sturgis, Michigan. He says, hey, guys, I grew up in Los Angeles. I moved to Michigan when I was thirty, so that's how I got Callaghan Tim. I used to watch the King's practice in the morning. He's selling some stories here. Get a bunch of stories about the Kings and the Lakers. Anybody on the Clippers is a half of what Kobe Bryant is. And he told the story about Phil Jackson almost running him over at the Laker facility. He told the story about Isaiah

Ryder and the real reason he got suspended. So there are some interesting stories there. He says he would go hang out and Phil was flying in the parking lot one time, and he says, as he was walking, this guy, Callaghan Tim, was walking across the lane in the parking lot. The back end of Phil Jackson's poor slid out of control and he says Tim, he had to dive into

a bush. He landed on his head, his feet. Tim says, we're up in the air everywhere, and he said, Phil Jackson, this Endmaster rolled down his window and says, sorry, buddy. And then the guy opened the gate at the Laker facility and he floored it into the gated area away from the unwashed. So that would have been quite if Phil Jackson had run over Callighan Tim, that would have

been a big story at the time. Yeah. Yeah. And Tim also says he says, I've emailed you guys a few weeks ago about what I do while I'm listing, and I told you. Tim says that when the weather is nice, I have three acres tomorrow. I remember this guy three acres the mos Some of my property is woods. Danny g asked if I can if he can live here, I asked for an anchor. Yeah, he says, I can build him a house in the back of my property. So he's offering to build you a house if you

want to live in Sturgis, Michigan. Danny Tim says he will. He will build you a little house in the back of his property. He says, Danny, are you good with three bedroom, two bath. Just a warning, he says, we have deer, raccoons, possums, squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, and a bobcat. We call Frank. He's kind of an asshole, but he keeps all the small animals at bay. He just leaves the head the heads in the yard. And he said, we have a lake that's a two minute walk from

the property. It sounds beautiful. And Kid Rock taught us that Michigan is beautiful in the summertime. So if it's free, it's for me. I'm down Sturgis, Michigan. You're right there, Danny, You, you and the Missis can have a nice summer home. Let's go a summer cabin with a bobcat. What's not to like? Now, do you know where Sturgiss is in Michigan. Let's do a little fun facts with Sturgis Michigan. Here Sturgis,

Michigan is located. Oh oh yeah, I'm looking. It's it's on the It's just north of the Michigan Indiana border, so it's right. It's on the lower part of Michigan. It's it's got I eighty and ninety, the Indiana Toll Road right there. It's got its own airport railroad. It's sister cities with Westloch Germany. Weisloch Germany, Weisloch Germany. Did you know it's known as the Electric City. Oh is that right? Due to their High Joe Electric Dam, which

dates back to the early days of the community. The city owned atric department has served the Sturgis area since the city's inception in eighteen ninety six. I will one up you. How about this as a fun fact for Sturgis, Michigan. I'll leave the light on for you. Tom Boett, Tom Bodett was raised in Sturgis, Michigan. Wow, oh my, yeah, it's a fun fact. Yeah, but wait, there's more. Verne Troyer. Verne Troyer. He grew up right near Sturgis in Centerville, Michigan.

He's not around anymore though. He died. Yeah, he passed away, that little dude, right, yeah, yeah, he was in the mini He was Mini me, right, was it? Yeah? He was Mini me? Yeah yeah, all right, yeah, thank you for that Callighan Tim good stories, Alfie alien Opina, Right, since says waiting by the phone for my call from the Basketball Hall of Fame? Guy, is there an item that is on your wish list that you can't afford

but you would feel guilty buying. It's possibly something that you'd be more likely to pull a trigger on if you were a single anything pop up there, Danny, I don't really have anything. I don't I don't really need that much stuff. And yeah, I feel like when I need something, I kind of get it. I'm not really having a midlife crisis like I need to go out get something. So I think I'm good. Yeah, my wife is pretty cool with you know, things that I liked

that I want to get. Like when I was shopping for my car, she could have been bitchy about the price or the kind of fast car I like or wanted. But her attitude is whatever makes you happy, whatever makes you smile. It's a cool thing to have in a significant other. You still need to finish off my car, Ben, because I don't have tinted windows yet, and I want to get a performance muffler put in. And yeah, so

you add a few things. I was I was shocked about how expensive it is to get professional window tinting on a car. Yeah, it's gone up the past decade. What a what a hustle. I should get into that business. I think I could do it. I think I could do window tin and you know, there's have the reach. Yeah I got to read, but there's multiple versions of wind. I didn't know this until we were investigating window tin.

So there's a couple of ways to do it. You can you can get window tin, which you have to replace in like five years or a couple of years, and then you can spend a thousand dollars on window tin and then it's supposed to last the life of the window on the car. Yeah, that's a lot of dough right. There used to be two hundred dollars specials that you would drive past, remember, yes, yes, uh? And can you can you do it yourself? Would you want to do it yourself? Day? Would you be willing to

do window tint yourself? No? No? And in fact, my certified new is that what it is, certified used car that I bought. One of the only things wrong on the outside of the car is you could tell it must have been a female driving it. Sexist the passenger side. The rims are scraped. Oh okay, now that's the old meme, the old joke, that meme that says Happy National Women's Day and it shows a rim that's all tore up

from the curb, tore up from the curb up. We love you women, But yeah, some don't know how to park against a curb. They what do they call it? Curb rash? I bought something on Amazon to fix it. But it's this whole thing. I didn't realize. It's all these different steps you have to take. It's like putty. You have to let it dry and then you have to sand it. Ain't nobody got time for that. No, that's that's not that is not realistic. Ma, Man, that

ain't gonna work. Mama. We got busy lives, you got radio the new Yeah, man, come on and it says let it sit for five hours and then come back and sand it. Yeah. I got five hours to work off and wait for some putty to dry exactly. Terry from England writes in on the Mailbag. He says, how many miles do you have to go or dude, to get to the studio now, Ben, compared to how far

the old mallor Mansion was. Well, Danny, you've been to both the old and the new mallor Mansion, so you know it is much further to get the current mallor Mansion. I don't know the mile. I just think it's more about the time. I'm very lucky I work when I do. If I had worked during the day, I think I would I would buy a helicopter. It's a it's a it's a freaking uh poop fest. But it's it's much further away, Terry, It's probably what do you think, two

hours in traffic? Yeah, two hours in traffic. Where I lived before I could's there was a lot of traffic, but it's at least an hour further from where I was prior to where I'm at now. Cup fan Mike writes in from Fort Wayne, any Anna. He says, Hey, guys, what was your favorite spring break location when you were growing up? So I didn't do spring break that much, Danny, but Vegas. Everyone loved going to Vegas, even though we

weren't old enough to actually gamble. Just like hanging out in Vegas was cool and Palm Springs was also popular in San Diego, those like the Big Three? Did I recall what about you, Danny not to be a party pooper, but I did not a for spring break. I was working. I jumped right into the workforce. I was working at

an FM radio station when I was sixteen years old. Yeah, I just want to point out I went to Vegas a few times, but I also started I started radio when I was nineteen, so I didn't really get to enjoy the full college spring break situation. I did go to saddleback for a little bit, but then I quickly moved on to other things. Mark from Parts Unknown right Scene says Ben and Danny, Gee, I've been listening to The Mallard Show on the podcast since approximately twenty twelve.

And yeah, I've downloaded all four hours and all of the fifth hour as well. Thank you, Mark, I appreciate that. And he says A great documentary called he recommends is the Super Bob Einstein movie on HBO. It's the funniest documentary I've ever seen. He says, thank you all there. I love super Daves Delivery. Yeah, I actually have seen that. That is a solid documentary. It's not in my top

documentary standings. You know my top documentaries. I have Operational Odessa, Mark, you should watch Operational Odessa, Super Mensch, Supersize Me Too, The Dark Side, and mcmillions. Those are my very top documentaries. Mcmillions was at the no which one was the was it? Pepsi? The Pepsi, the jet the Jet Fighter. That one was good too. I did like that one. Get the name of that, but that was really good. Yeah, that one's pretty solid. Mcmillions was the one where the guys that

the family was scamming the McDonald's contest, so they were here. Yeah, that's right. It's it's kind of similar to the Pepsi jet Fighter one. Yeah. Yeah, the jet Fighter one had Michael Avanadi on it. It was a Netflix show, right it wasn't? Yes, yes, yeah, that was. That was pretty good too. I should I should add that to my I don't have a list, as you know, Danny, I don't believe in list, but I have Big Ben's Big Board, which is much different. It was called Pepsi. Where's my

jet Oh? Okay, yeah that was That was really good too. And next up is Noah from Austin. He says, howdy, Gent's Sunday mail bag, my birthday. Happy Easter by thele That's right, it's Easter, says. My question to you and Danny g is if you could both start your radio careers over, what would you have done differently? It's from Noah, So you want to go first to any any changes you would make to the road. I would have picked a different night to invite my young lady friend into

the main control room is a lot of meat. When I was man, I must have been eighteen, and I had a friend come into the studio, and little did I know, the general manager of the station was going to be showing up late that night dropping off the station van. Oh and yeah, he apparently saw what I was doing through the window. And then I got called into the principal's office the next day, and let's just say it was a very embarrassing meeting for me and

to this day. And I did wonderful things for that company, awesome number one ratings. So this day I see that general manager of mine. He now runs radio stations up in Portland and Seattle. And what's the one story he tells everybody when he's introducing me around. Tell them about the awesome ratings and the awesome promotions and contests that I came up with on the air. No, he tells them about that one night he got to the station

and I was up to no good. You were making whoopee you were you were giving up close and personal exam of the radio station and uh and all the other. But yeah, no, I was. All I was doing was showing her how to change the meter readings. Oh there you go. Yeah you were. You were pointing things out to her, is what you were? I got you, I got you, I got you all right. Next to answer your question, though, happy Birthday by Is this a cheap way for you to get a birthday shout out? Is

that what you're doing on the Sunday mail bag? How? Yeah, it does. But happy birthday and and and he did a Cadbury egg from I love those Cadbury eggs. Happy Birthday. You do not look a day over sixty. Yeah, exactly. So I wouldn't change anything in my radio career other than the fact that I was very paranoid that I

wasn't gonna make it. And I had a very traumatic experience in San Diego when I started out, because the program director was a bit of a douche and in the end of any of every year, they would lay a bunch of people off and he would he was the kind of guy. He was like a big vomit guy from Howard Stern, where he'd be like, Hey, he

didn't care about board ops or producers. I can go down to the train station in San Diego and I can get board ops if I need I don't, you know, like that kind of thing, yeah, BC, Yeah, it was that. It was that kind of vibe. And it was like, you know, guys would go on vacation at the end of December and they'd never come back and they thought they were going on vacation, and then that was that was that, and that was unfortunate. But other than that, I think we are all a product of all the

things that happened got us to this point. I'm a big believer in that. So all together, things worked out. It's been a good career in radio. If it ends today, so be it. But it's been a good run and I don't I don't think I would change anything. And unlike Danny G, I was not I was not spending quality time with listeners, at least not at the radio

station who said she was a listener. Oh probably not. Oh. I had an old program director and he used to say, if we're number one in the ratings, everybody is a listener. There you go, there you go, You're all number Jeffrey Rights and from many says, some great people up here in Maine, Bend and Danny G. They made this big old ice circle thing on a frozen lake that six football fields freaking wide. He says it's not as big as Lizzo's dinner plate, but impressive. Nonetheless, all right, this

guy's got jokes. Lame jokes are on Friday, sir, not on the mail bag. Bad job by you. Back back from Maine. Jay Bone from Portland, Maine says, if you put your podcast on, then play two times the speed when the boys are fighting. He talks about game shows, Laker Clipper fights. Hearing everyone yelling so fast is funny, he says, not a question, just a suggestion. Okay, you're talking about your live show. Yeah, but you can also

on this podcast. We don't really fight on this podcast, but I will point out we get the same credit on the podcast. They don't know whether you're listening fast forwarding or not, right, so it doesn't really matter at us. You know. Somebody at work, though, did tell me that when they do listen back to the podcast, they listen at one and a half speed, so the voices are slightly fast, but not chipmunk fast. But that would bug me. I don't want to hear somebody's voice it sped up.

It's like when I hear your voice on a commercial and they need to edit you down because your commercial read was too long. So it's like Ben Maller, but the chipmunk version of Ben Mallard. Are you saying? I don't sound like that when I'm speed reading. I don't sound or Ben Maller when he was twenty two years old, because that's what you sounded like back then. I don't know if Royals are having their problems on the road, Royals having their problems on the road. I'm Ben Mallock.

I was right. I said that twenty years ago, and today the Royals are still having their problems on the road. Nothing has changed any more than that in my lifetime unless it has it. The Royals are always having their problems on the road. Greg writes in he says, who would win a steelcage match? Blair or Marcel? You know who would win that match? The people watching the match, they're the ones that would win the match. But I would give Blair the edge. Marcel's physically more dominant. From

what I don't I've never met Marcel. I've met Blair. Blair's he's not the biggest cat in the zoo. But Marcel would have a physical advantage, but Blair, I think would have a slight technique advantage in bobbing and weaving. Marcel would just stand there and say, motombo him, motombo him, block him that. I'm pretty sure that's how that would go down. A bell listener, Bell writes, and she's in Tennessee. She says, guys, if you were single, would you date

a woman with a full body tattoo? Who? So, Bell, I'm not. I'm not a tattoo guy. I did when I was dating I. I know, beggars can't be choosers. So I did date some some young ladies that have tattoos, but I I never I don't know full body. That's a a little tough like. I don't mind a little bit here, a little bit there, maybe on the ankle back. When I was dating Danny, very popular tattoo was on the lower back. That was the quote unquote tramp stamp. Yeah.

Is that still popular these days? I don't know. I'm not up on the tattoo world these days. No, the ladies they have nicer tattoos these days in lots of other places on their bodies. Yeah, okay. Remember also, we're around the same age. Danny did the barbed wire tattoo? Remember that? Oh god, those did not age well. Shocking they did not age. Ask Jonas Knox go hard on a guy? Oh does he he's got a barbed wire He even makes fun of it himself. He's like, I

don't know what I was thinking. I don't know why I did it, but it did not age well at all. Um, there are I like when women have tattoos on one side, so maybe like half a sleeve on one side, but when they have tattoos on both sides of their bodies, it looks too manly to me. But I do think it's feminine and nice when it's on one side of their body. Everything in moderation, even moderation should be in moderation.

I think that's all we have time for a manic Mike and Steve and Joe and all you other yahoo's. I apologize, but we can't go on forever. We have things to do, places to hang out and whatnot. It's Easter Sunday, Passover festivity is still going on and all that good stuff. Eat the mazza today. It's early Sunday morning right now, so my chick is probably downstairs hiding eggs on the balcony. Okay, you just well, the kids

don't listen to a podcast. Nah, they're old now. Anyway, her kids are older now, So I mean, we just got the twelve year old. But the twelve year old doesn't think there's a bunny hopping around laying eggs. No. Oh, and this blast Christmas was the first time she was like, Mom, are you serious? Mom? And you know, if there is a kid listening right now, they don't even know what I'm talking about, but you do because we're not in

the business of spoiling things for anybody. But yeah, she is just like, Mom, I can't believe you did that. She's just so put off by the whole thought of you know what her mom did? Yeah, ready to be all grown up, ready to Yeah. Yeah, But you know what, Ben, they don't turn the candy back in today, They're gonna find the candy and they're gonna be like little kids again.
