The Fifth Hour: "Smooth Like Silk" Mail Bag

Ready to dazzle you. We started out doing this. I originally did the podcast like one day a week, yeah, and then over time we've gone to the three day a week format. We used to do like one and it was really long, and now it's three and they're all kind of long. You're all kind of long. So when are we gonna go to four? Wash your mouth out with hope and water? How there you? Oh? My god? Who the hell cans nobody wants for? Does anyone nobody wants for? I should have said, when are we gonna

cut this down to two? Yeah? Yeah, Well I always threatened to cut it down to two. We don't get enough questions for the mailbag. Some weeks we get a ton. Normally we get enough for the mail bag. And this is actually one of the more popular things that we have, and people seem to love the randomness of the questions. It's like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. You never know what you're gonna get in the mailbag. So, without further ado, let's strike up

the band Ohio all start the mailbag. Are you ready? Here we go, It's bag and right to it. You've got mail, Yes we do. These are actual questions by actual listeners like you who have stumbled onto our podcast and wanted to be part of the fund And if you'd like to add to a future mail bag, you can send me an email anytime you want. Real Fifth Hour at gmail dot com, Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com, It's letters, spell it all out, real and then fifth F I F T h Our at gmail

dot com or on the show Facebook page. Ben Mallers show first question comes from Kevin and Rockford. He says, if all the producers were to get in into a producer's battle royale, who would come out victorious. This is from Kevin So, the Fox Sports Radio producers, the fs ARE lineup, which includes yourself, Bob Gara, Frostburg, Frostburg, who does Jason show, Cooper Loo. I wish I could pull off those suits. Boy, I think you do pretty well there, did he? Do you know? Rob g Or We call

him wrong button Bob for our listeners. He probably would be a sneaky good fighter because he said this on our show one time that he would kick you in the kneecap. Yes, yeah, yeah, I would put him like ahead of Frostberg and Coop. Those are nice guys. I don't see them as fighters. Then there's Jason Stewart, who's got Leaves producer. Yeah, I know Jay, still haven't seen him in a while. He's kind of a mid sized guy. Cowherd's got who's he got to Yeah, he's got two

and then Um Music. Yeah, he's got Ryan Music and two e These are like he's got like seven producers actually, so yeah, Howard would win because of he gang up on. You still feel strongly that if Cowherd's producers came at me, I could do the Kasmanian devil move, but I would try to take all of them out. Yeah, and then I we have lead a lap who produces Jonas the show, and I could see Lee pulling out bloody knuckles or

something like that. I could see that and I was like, yes, you got the hat on, and all of a sudden, where'd that come from? And he's got bloody knuckles. But I I'm not sucking up to you, Danny. I think from a physicality standpoint, in a Battle Royale still cave deathmatch, I would put my money on you. You'd be the favorite. I'd have Bob Garrett too, lead a LAP three and uh yeah, I think that that would be my top three. The microphone throttler. Yeah, all right, Chris, and that would

be a cool charity event though. That would that would be fun. It's time from now. I'll call all right, Chris and Mary Coca the IOWA says, have you ever secretly called into a radio show of someone you know to see if they recognize you? P ask go Raiders. Chris says, I. I did call in one time to show Tom Looney was on, but I didn't stay on hold long enough to get on the hear so no, I guess technically I tried, but I didn't have the patience to stand. I was gonna see if Looney would

recognize my voice. But other than that, I'm trying to think off the top of my head. I don't recall. I don't recall doing that, but I have had people like Punk me and call up that I knew that he do the do a fake voice and all that. What about you, Danny ever called up a radio show just to see if somebody would recognize your voice? No, I'm I mean, I think I would get caught right away. I don't exactly have the kind of invisible voice where I could get away with Crank calling people. They would

be like, I know it's you. I called your show one time. It was my night off and you were having a six line tribute to the great Rowdy Roddy Piper. Yes, and I called in to be part of the sixth line salute. I think that's it. As a grown adult, I've only called the Ben Mallor show. Okay, I'm I'm flattered by that. Yeah, and I remember saying a long time producer, first time caller, I like it. I like it.

I got mail, Yeah, I got mail. YEA, all right, Devin and Munsey says Ben, which would you rather have David Gascott as your personal butler or the Dodgers lose the World Series to the Yankees. Well, I don't want the Dodgers to lose to the Yankees, but I would not want Gascott either as a but I think you'd be a terrible butler. He's got that West of the four oh five attitude. So I don't think that would that would work. That's like a Sophie's choice situation. So

what kind of question is that? How dare you? Man? You get a clown horn? Is what you get? All right? All right? Zack? And Seattle, says Ben. When you were coming up in radio, what was your dream market to work it, says says Zack. Well, I grew up in southern California. Want to be on the radio in l A. But I always wanted to be on in like Boston and New York and the big cities. You want to be on in the biggest cities you can be on,

and those are the biggest market Chicago. So you aspire to be on the radio where the most people listen to the radio, and those are the biggest, biggest cities. So the cool thing, and I've told the story before, Zach. But when I was coming up in radio, I started

in San Diego. In fact, you heard with Ralph Irvin, who I worked with at the mighty six ninety back in the day, and we were coming up together in radio, and I sent out a bunch of cassette tapes because it was so long ago, to these different radio stations and I really wanted to get a job, and these they had openings, and I'd send these tapes out and I used to have I don't think I have it anymore, but I had a box of rejection letters and and these are many of the stations that over the years

my show has been picked up by. And it's pretty cool, like to think back, like they wouldn't hire me, And I don't understand why they didn't hire me. I wasn't that good at that point. I didn't have any experience or anything like that. But yeah, so, but the biggest Boston, New York, Chicago, l A, the biggest Philadelphia is another great the great sports time. Do you want to be on where there's passion doing a sports radio? You want to be on where it matters and those cities it matters.

What about you, Danny anywhere you wanted to be on the radio, and you're starting out the business as a little kid. I was doing hip hop radio, so I wanted to be on San Francisco, LA, or New York airwaves. Those were the three cities that you would shoot for. And so in the late nineties that's still a kid and be on l A radio. It was pretty amazing. Yeah, it was. It was cool. I I started when I was young, and it was very fortunate the station I

worked at in San Diego. The company bought an l A station and wanted to flip it to sports, and so that worked out very well because they didn't have any employees and they hired me, and they probably regretted it, but it worked out. So I was I was lucky on that one. You've got mail, the Russian kid writes, and he says, as the mail back continues, if you could choose one movie actor to be the president of

the United States, who would it be. So I'll go with someone who I think has a legitimate opportunity of being a Donald Trump like president, meaning has a chance to win. The Rock I mean, Dwayne Johnson. I could see The Rock being a president in my lifetime. Then congratulations. Now just for comedic reason, I don't agree with this politics, but Larry David would be funny as a president. How about didn't Disney canceled Tim Allen put him in there? They got rid of him, rid his buzz light Year,

they canceled him being a prequel. I don't think he thought his voice was necessary all right, because I had read a headline that Disney dumped him because of his politics and all that stuff. That that's why they they got rid of. Right. Even Tom Hanks was like, what did they get rid of? What's up with that? Anyway? Who would you pick? Danny? Any actor that you would pick? Movie star, the Russian kid, the Russian kids dying to know, do not do not get it wrong. Gary Busey would

be great. Uh. The Western White House would be a rehab clinic in Malibu. I would feel comfortable if Morgan Freeman was our real life president. He's got though, isn't he God? You can't have? Was God? He was also president in a movie though, okay, and I liked his leadership. I felt like comfortable with him at the helm, so he could he could take on that challenge. Yeah, will there ever be a president in our life time that

is universally loved. No, right, No, I don't think so, although I did talk to somebody about this as I was talking to a buddy of mine last week, and we were like, after remember after nine eleven, like people really rallied around the country and and President Bush was the president. But it only lasted for like a couple of months and then everyone was back at their each other. That was a great scene when he was on the bullhorn, remember, and yeah, it will all hear us, And yeah, you're right,

everybody was rallying around that moment. That probably will be the last time in my life that people forget the political bowl, you know. And just and he threw a perfect pitch remember pitch out at Yankee Stadium, right yeah, yeah, bullet proof vest On and and he's still threw a strike. Yeah, good job by him, old Texas Ray Users owner back

in the day. All right, let's see here, I got mail, Yeah, I got mail, Yeah, Mike from Fullerton, right city the mail bag, He says, have you ever considered turning the Fifth Hour into a true crime podcast? I hear those are big right now, there's gotta be a murder out there. That you guys want to want to see solved. He's not wrong, though, Mike's not wrong, right. These these podcasts,

these crime podcasts, are very popular these days. They just are capitalizing off of all of our girlfriends and wives who like to watch this crap on TV I D Channel or the true crime shows and all that stuff. I mean, they have complete networks dedicated to this programming. And then these women go to sleep scared out of their minds and having bad dreams. Well, don't watch that

crap at night right before you go to bed. Yeah, But it's one of those things with human nature I talk about like I don't do list radio, as you know, Danny, because I don't believe in it. But I do do Big Bend's Big Board, which is not list radio wrong. But human beings are what when people hear a list they kind of they react to it, but also people are it's just a flaw in human nature. They gravitate towards a mystery like who done it? Right? Who done it? And they want to get to the bottom of it.

Remember that show Forensic Files that that was like the pot that was on TV, but it was that thing and they had the guy I forget the name of the guy, the name of the voiceover guy that was on there, and he had very dramatic delivery, you know, and she went for a dog and she never returned. Our parents used to watch this on remember Oh sure, yeah, used to have that kind of programming before they were

complete networks dedicated to that. Thank god. My tendernie doesn't like those kind of shows because I have known girls that that's all they watch at night, like every night, they'll watch those kind of shows. And I feel like I'm in safe hands or safer hands because a lot of the programming on those shows they like are the ones where the women are killing the men. I feel like they're just trying to get some ideas how to you know, get away with certain things and vice versa

if it's a guy killing a woman. But it's just odd to me that you would be that invested in finding out how people kill each other. Yeah, for sure. What's the The old saying about a woman's weapon is uh, what is it I'm telling poison? Oh no, no, it was something like that, though, Yeah, I don't I'll see

if I can, it'll come to me. But there was a phrase about uh, yeah, like something about women men and how you know their their weapon of choices like arsenic or something like this is something like that anyway, Um, well the great idea, Mike, Either that or we can get Martha Stewart to you know, do the podcast with us, right she's isn't she doing something? Without I heart? I just found it. Poison is a woman's weapon. Yes, that's it. That's it. A woman's weapon. Well that's comforting. Yeah, you

know you see that stuff. When women kill men, it's usually they make him brownies and they put bleaching there or something there are you know, whatever it might, whatever it might do the trick. Kevin in Kansas writes in mail. He says, dear Ben and Danny g what's the status of the laundry card? He's asked me the status of the laundry cart you found on one of your walks a couple of years ago. I'm not sure why I continue to think about it. I think it's the uniqueness

of the story that sticks with me. Thanks for the up Well, yes, Kevin, for those that are new to the podcast. In my old place in the San Gabriel Valley where I was living, I would walk around the neighborhood, especially during COVID, this really came up. I used to go to the gym and then COVID started and the gym's was closed, and so I'd walk around it was like a hundred and ten degrees and then walk around.

And one day I was wandering around the neighborhood and there was this abandoned laundry cart, like a professional laundry cart that you would get at a laundry matt, that somebody had just left on the side of the road. And I was like, well, that's a really good looking laundry card. That would be great, and it was in good condition. I'm like, well, who dumped this? And it was like with other trash, and it was trash around it,

but it was in good shape. So I walked by it, and in the back of my head, I said, all right, I'm gonna go on my walk. I'm not gonna think about it. But then when I get home, if it's I'm gonna get in my car and it's still there, I'm gonna go get it because I want that. So I did my walk, I got I got back and then sure enough the thing was still there. So I went out and it barely fit in the mallarmobile. I put in the back, took it home and then use it.

But it update you, Kevin. The laundry cart was in storage for oh Man over a year and we just had it. We didn't need it, and now we have it. We did bring it back to the the new Mallard mansion in the north Woods. The problem is it's not really effective because it's a two story home here, and the laundry cart's got wheels. It doesn't go. It's downstairs. The closes are upstairs, so I might have to say goodbye.

If you want a laundry cart, Daity, I have a really good laundry card if you want, If any listener wants, if you pay for shipping, I can give it to you and you can have my old laundry cart, which is a great cart, works very well, but really not useful where I live now, I'm the same as you dealing with stairs. What we need are those old school laundry shoots. Oh that's true, that's a good. Yeah, the laundry shoot. Yeah, trash shoots are good too. I love

the trash shoot. Wonderful thing. It's like magic. You walk out. I used to have an apartment. I lived in Park LaBrea in in l A. That massive if you're familiar with the geography, they're massive complex. It's one of the biggest conglomerates of apartments in the entire country. Uh. And I lived there for a while. They these old buildings and they had trash shoots and was wonderful. Trash starts smelling boom, go out the hall and steps, throw it away.

It's gone from Wow, you brought back some memories. I've only lived in a building one time that had a trash shoot, and you're right, man, it was like magic. Just walk out your door, pull the shoot down, throw your trash in there. You were done. Oh yeah, it was It was good. I got mail, Yeah, I got mail. Yea, all right, Gary, and Victoria writes in uh, he says, Joey Chestnut looked ready for something crazy happening at that

eating contest. Gary says, do you guys think he got wind of the curse of the Bambino from a producer? Or did you warn him? Gary? Gary says, no, I did not warn the great Joey Chestnut. And Joey's always prepared. He's always on his toes. The man is a professional, all right, And I'm not gonna sit here and pander to Joey Chestnut say there's a curse and all that.

But we were just we're bonding and all that. And I love the fact that he's in full defense motor at all times on his tiptoes and that's that was great, So good job by him. Yeah, I'll be prepared. It might be land minds are You never know. Occasionally in life it's an acrobatic high wire act and you gotta

occasionally thread a needle. In all. As much as he talked about loving New York and there's only one place like it in the world, your head needs to be on a swivel because that is the super Bowl of all hot dog eating. With the Super Bowl comes crazy, big crowds. Yeah, at least nobody glued themselves to Joey Or remember that woman in Minnesota at the Timberwolves game. She's put some superglue and clue herself to the court, like yeah, and then there was another one who chained

herself to the the basket. Yeah. It's pretty hard to protest if you have a job, isn't it, right? I mean sorry, because you gotta know your job. It's difficult. A more effective protest would have been have somebody dress up as a giant hot dog and then chain yourself to the dog. That's good point. They did have a Nathan's hot Dog mascot walking U. There was that, um but but thank you for that. Gary In Victoria Patrick writes and he says, who's your favorite Canadian pro sports athlete?

Is this all time or currently playing? He didn't say, Well, all time, it's got to be number ninety nine, right, the great Wayne Gretz, the greatest of all time at what he did in hockey. But you know how I used to like a lot was Larry Walker. He was a character baseball player. Larry Walker. Yeah, he's a good player. And I talked about him earlier on the podcast The Legendary Rowdy Roddy Piper. Oh that's a good one too. Yeah,

that's a that's a solid one. One of Canada's greatest imports, Steve Nash Canadian, didn't he Stevens Joey Votto another proud Canadian? Does Vince Carter account. I think of him as a Canadian Air Canada, yuh, not a Canadian? What he represented Canada so long? I feel like he's one of theirs. Who are some other Canadian baseball players, Like I'm trying to think this. I remember Russell Martin played for the Dodgers. Yeah, Justin more No, no, yeah, you played for the Fins

and some other Yeah, you're right. Larry Walker is one of the first ones that comes up on a search. Matt Stairs. Oh that guy, Bay That Stairs ruined my one one of my nights that against just I still, I still, I can still see have I closed my eyes, I can see that ball flying into the pavilion at Dodger Stadium. Holy can only that guy? You know, I know the exact game you're talking about. And let's see, how about Ryan Dempster, Dempster the Dumpster. Yeah, okay, one

of the best names in all of baseball. Stubb Oh yeah, remember that guy got into uh dust up this this year's a coach with the Cardinals. Now, Stubby Clap. That's a great name. Is Stubby Clap is like he's like a little guy and he's named Stubby. You gotta be like a little guy. He's like a tree trunk, and he's a tough He's a tough mofoe. Though. That guy tough mo. So did we say enough Canadian names to pacify Patrick? You think he's happy with the smiling air

to air right now? The Dodger closer that was on steroids. What was the guy's name? He was Eric Canadian? All right, moving moving on, as we go down down the rabbit hole, down down, down, down down, come back, it's time from now? Call all right? Dale? Right? Same with a sporty question, he says, if by some small chance, the Lakers get Kyrie, do you think the Clippers will still beat them? Well, of course I do, Dale, because Kyrie will not be

playing even if they trade for him. Kyrie will be off on some mission I'm doing whatever he's going down or be heard. He's only played half the games since he got to Brooklyn and in his career, going back to Duke, there's some guy posted this online many many months ago that Kyrie has missed in his career. It's it's almost fifty of all the games he was scheduled

to play. So I'm not I'm not worried about Kyrie because even if you get him, he's probably gonna be off doing some nonsense there and he will not be participating. Oh I didn't want to mention I did not receive an email from Helen and Stu. Remember they promised we're gonna give us the details. Helen said she teased it and she said, oh you wait, I'm gonna give you next week. I'm gonna give you this story on how Stu almost passed. Do I hopefully stews okay? She was

doing Blues Clues. Yeah. I emailed her though, and I said, hey, what happened. Let me know what happened. We want to have the email, and she never responded. So I hope Stuart and them are okay, But that's a cliffhanger or Helena hanger, as we we do not have have the answer missing person report like Kawahi Leonard and Paul George Anthony Davis. Lebron James Lebron's missed eighty games since he got to the Lakers. He's almost missed an entire season.

How Miskawi miss last year, but he was legitimately hurt. Lebron just takes time off. You know, it's not please all right, Okay, it's not right with you and your nonsense. Okay, yes, exactly what is still wrong with the Clippers anyway, Pierre in Springfield, mass how many pro bouncy ball Hall of Fame where you can see Muffett McGraw in shrine and others? Pierre says, Ben, I think we all know how you feel about Ned Flanders. He's the audio version of a

never ending dentist appointment. I'd like to get Danny G's opinion of the person whose name we shall not utter. Also, can both of you tell us any particular horror stories of working with Mr Twenty one minute Update? I mean, I don't have any horror stories. He's a nice guy to work with. Yeah, no, he's not always the update anchor when I'm in there on the weekend, but you know, when he is, I run to the restroom because I know I can't use the commercial breaks to go to

the bathroom. During the commercial breaks, that's when I'm doing a lot of the podcasting and tweeting and things like that. When do you go to the bathroom, you really don't have a window to to do that. So when that update begins, I know I have a good six minutes. I run to the bathroom, I get some water. I come back and he is wrapping up his report. It's always perfect timing. Yeah. So I don't know what more I can add to this, because there's a voice in

my head that says, don't okay. I'll try not to be rude, but let's just say, normally, Danny, the way I prepare for the show and the way I do the show, the quickest part of my day is the show. It just flies by it. To me, that's a sign the show is doing well when it blow. When four hours seem like fifteen minutes, you know what I'm saying to anywhere, you know, it's just smooth like silk and

it's just wonderful, and you're like, man, that's great. And then there are nights and I don't know why this happens. I don't know why, but there's some some nights when certain people are there, it just drags on and four hours seemed like twelve hours and it just will not end, and you just said, please, can it? Can it please end?

Can it please come into an end? You're like, somebody helped me, you know, and it just will not and it just goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on, and you're like, please please quiet, quiet, Yeah, and it won't stop. So you are so right about certain voices making a shift go longer and I don't know what it is. And Arnie, I love you, but there's sometimes when Arnie is on and I feel like we're an hour four and we

just started our two. Yeah, that's the worst feeling if you ever get a radio show, if you're listening to this and get a radio show. The worst feeling is when you look at the clock, which you don't look at all the time because you just do your thing, but you look up and it's like you're flashing back the second grade. Remember you were in second grade and the time would not move, and you're like, what is going on? How did this happen? And how is this ever going to end? Just like one of the worst

feelings in your adult life. We've all had a job. Are jobs where you would count the minutes on the clock or you would play that game where you're like, Okay, I'm not gonna look at the clock. I'm not gonna look at the clock. I'm gonna guess that it's this time. No, No, it's got to be twenty minutes later than that by now, isn't And you just play that guessing game in your head. That's how much you can't stand being at that job. Oh yeah, it's terrible. All right, I thank you, Pierre.

I think we've addressed that enough. Scott writes, and he brings up an interesting question. Why doesn't Rob Dibble ever check in with FS are former colleague Rob Dibble? We should reach out to Robb was doing a radio show. Last I heard, he was in Hartford, Connecticut doing a radio show. But I haven't talked to Rob. And since he left The Nasty Boy, did you work you? Did you work at Fox when Rob was at five? Yeah? He did. When I started, he was still there, but

not for long. Yeah, it did not did not go that long after you you came in and we track robbed down. I don't know if you'd do it or not. I got along with Rob though, we had a good time. I had no issue with Rob. We were We did a few shows together randomly, which I was always cool. My my Rob Dibble memory was the obviously the Reds. He was on the Reds team that won the World Series in the You know, I guess why. I wasn't

even alive. I watched videos on YouTube though that it was impressive, and then remember he was coming off the mound. It was in New York and he had given up a home run and he ripped his jersey off like he was the Incredible Hulk. That was pretty cool. Anyway. Next up, soon to be college student heading to Wazoo. I got Mayo, Yeah, I got mail. Yea blind Emmett's his favorite sporting event. You've ever you never a question,

We'll take it, Emmett. So the coolest sporting event I ever attended was the first World Series I ever went to. It was the Cleveland they were then called the Indians and the Marlin's the Florida Mornins. Miami and Cleveland went from eighty five degrees in Miami two snow there was. I was at a World Series game in Cleveland where it's snowed, and that was tremendously that. I was young and it was like the first time I'd ever experienced something like that. So that was cool and like the big,

the big events. I was at a Pro Bowl in Hawaii, which was awesome. Pro Bowl practice in Hawaii. Didn't actually attend the Pro Bowl and just being there and being part of that which at a stadium which I found out they tore down a Loja Stadium no longer exists. That's that's gone. So but NBA Finals games back when I was assigned to cover the the Hated Lakers and stuff and shock and Kobe in that era of the Lakers. Well, what about you, Danny. Any sporting event standout that you're like, Oh,

this is great. I can't believe I was here part of it. Yeah, one in particular because I was a Raider's season ticket holder for a long time and unfortunately I had to sit through the Jamacus Russell years. God and all that. But prior to that, Ben I got to be live at the two thousand two a f C Championship game where rich Gannon and the Mighty Raiders beat Steve McNair and the Titans to go on to the Super Bowl. What a game that was, What an

experience that was. And prior to that game starting, I remember people going crazy in one of the main parking lots and Metallica had pulled in with huge truck trailers and set up a makeshift stage and did an impromptu concert in the parking lot. What God, America. If you look on YouTube Metallica Oakland Championship game, you'll see videos that people took of Metallica wearing Raider jerseys and I wasn't even supposed to be out of concert. That's cool.

I don't remember that. I don't, but that's that's pretty neat. Moving on from that time for a few more a tillo, right, since I'm curious, do we report to you when we hear one of your regular callers call in on another Fox Sports Radio show or should I just call and try to get in to talk to you. I actually heard three call into Brian No show early Saturday morning. It's from till yeah see the thing on Fox Sports Radio where we are all family. So it's not so

much about Fox Sports Radio. It's like when you listen to other shows that are not Fox Sports Radio properties and people cheat on us. That's that's an issue. That's what we get upset, like people will rat out, holler and jeems. But yeah, you can send me a message or call up if you want. Next up Balls fan Jimmy's rights in from Big Orange Country. He says, for both of you, have you ever had a real shouting

match with a coworker? Yes? Absolutely I have, and I I think you might have witnessed one of those Danny back in the back in the day. But I'm pretty common mellow most of the time. But as my wife will point out, I do sometimes there's certain things that bother me and I don't say anything, and it's like a volcano, and then if enough things pile up there's enough pressure in the volcano, I will explode and I'll go nuts and uh completely in neurotic neuroses, whatever you

want to say there. Uh, it doesn't happen very often. It hasn't happened a long time, but I have had incidents,

and it's it's like work in radio. You're when you're in the studio, you're around people, you see them every day, and when things don't go right, and if you think that other people are not carrying the water that they're supposed to do, you get upset, and in the heat of the moment, right there, in the heat of the moment, you end up saying some things you probably shouldn't say, and you raise your voice and you make a ruckus

and it's a big hullabaloo and all that. Normally you make up and then you're good, And that's normally how people do it. But every once in a while someone will go go to HR and then it's a problem. The only problem I ever encountered. It was early on at Fox Sports Radio with another producer, and the way I did it was more quiet. I told him I need to talk to you outside of the studios real quick. So we walked outside that door on Sepulvida there on

the street. I looked him in the eyes and I said, you are not going to ruin this experience for me. Do you understand what I'm saying. If you got problem with me, you need to address me. You need to talk to me, not to management upstairs. I'm not gonna be your fall guy for whenever you have problems down here on this floor. And he was kind of like capeche and he was a little nervous because I meant business and he was like, okay, I hear you, I hear you. We walked inside. Never had a problem with

him again. See, you laid out the rules, right, You laid everything out and you explain the situation and all right. Next up, Jason from Rocky Mount, Virginia says, my dudes, when was the last time you washed the mallarmobile and the Danny Gmobile And did you do it yourself or run it through a car wash. Yeah, so, Jason, I do not mind washing my car. The problem is I am obsessive. I want to make it perfect, and it takes way too long. I only have limited time on

the weekends. I'm working a lot with this podcast and the other stuff, and so what normally ends up happening is I just take it through one of those drive through car wash places, whether it's at the gas station or an actual car wash. But you still have to drive it through because it's just you don't have time for it. And I love the vacuums they have at those things. That's my favorite part, to the vacuum at the car and get it all nice on the inside.

But yeah, the last time I actually washed the car before we met Marlin's Man because my wife was like, well, maybe Marlin's Man needs a ride, it will be in our car, so we better wash. She's like, didn't want to. She didn't want Marlin's Man to think we were a bunch of slops, and so we had to wash the car before that. What about you, daddy. I would go to seventies six gas station here that has the soft

touch drive through car washed. I used that once a week, and then when I get out of there, and you know the veteran move. You go really slow and in increments when you go through the dryer at the end of that wash, so that it can really dry your car as best as possible. But then when you get out, I stopped in the shade at one of those pumps. Don't put their over priced gas, but in the shade, I take out the terry cloth and I wipe down the spots where that water usually leaves, all the marks

and streaks and everything. It's a solid move. That's a good move. That's what you gotta do with those drive through car washes. Absolutely now. I was thinking, not far away from where I live now, is this standalone car wash place, but you drive through they have like a monthly thing without thirty bucks a month or something. You can get as many car washes as you weren't. Yeah, club, I've seen those. I'm thinking maybe I'll try that out, because then I'll just get the cars washed every week

and that'll be my thing. And it's real close to the house, so I might do that. Uh, we gotta get out of here on that.
