Ka boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now, what is in the bag? Well go man, the beginning of another edition of the

Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny g Radio. That dogs licked that whole thing hanging out at the podcast do Joe as we yap your weekend away and Danny, we have survived the Friday podcast. We have made it through the Saturday podcast and now it is the main of a I'll give you a high five band, my hero. Are you ready for the mail bag? Let's go ding ding? All right, we're gonna strike up the band. Here we go, Ohio, aw,

set us up, man, set us up. It's all right, a great Ohio all a little lullaby from our man, Ohio. How so, let's get to it. These are actual questions by actual listeners. We love to interact with you it's my favorite podcast of the weekend. And people think I'm full of bullshit on that, but I'm not. I love the mail bag. You never know what you get. You tell me all the time that, asked Ben, is your favorite thing. No, no, no, we don't. I don't know what that is, asked and I don't even that's dead

to me, asked Ben. It's all about the mailbag. It's all about the mail back, Danny. This is an original content. This has never been done before. No one else has the mail bag, nobody else. You know why, because on Sunday you get no mail, right, there's no mail on Sunday. The Postal service takes it off. But we get mail. We get mail. I'm not going to start graving Matt all right, here we go. First, one up on the mailbag. Marcus in San Antonio, the Alamo City where the Spurs

used to win every year with David Robinson. Then Tim Duncan, who Now I couldn't name one player on the San Antonio Spurs anyway, uh, he says Benny Danigy. Over the years, you have had your regular callers, and some have lasted longer than others. Of course, these callers are part of the show and some I really enjoy the banter between you and the guys and the caller in the moment. My question, do you guys ever receive email from the

listeners complaining about any one in particular? Asking because Andreas act of course talking about Virgo and service, and our friend Andrea uh says her act is has grown stale. In my opinion, I cannot believe I'm the only one that thinks that I love the show. Podcast downloader Marcus in San Antonio, So thank you Marcus for that. So yeah, we've had people complain. There's some people that hate everyone

that calls the show. Justin and Cincinnati can't stand anyone other than maybe Robbie, the Marina fan, I think, and possibly just Josh, but he had he hates everyone. Right now, if I were to tell you the guy that gets the most blowback among the callers, it is by far Marcel in Brooklyn with a wink and a nod just for scratch off all too good to be true. He he yeah, he gets he gets a lot of crap. So yeah, and I'm fine. I think these are these are these are guys that are fans of the show.

I'm amazed that so many of these guys are willing to be dedicated. You really have to be dedicated. You stay on hold a long time, you don't get a lot of air time, like you really have to be motivated to make this a part of your life. You've got to be in a bit of a different league to be a call or a regular caller, because it's it's it's not the greatest set up, I admit it, but you can be radio show famous, which is kind

of cool. So well, it depends where you're at in the payroll structure for your budget that is correct at the top. I mean, that's a month to be a phone actor on your show. So I mean, you know, we talk a lot of behind the scenes here on the podcast. A lot of people don't know you can earn up to twelve a month to be a regular caller on the Ben Mallard Show. You're not supposed to say the quiet part out loud, Denny. You're supposed to

say that bad job. And and some people have pointed out that some of the characters that I use on my payroll have also I guess Covino and Rich have been using some of those same characters uh, just one Mark in because I answered the phones there, Mark in Medford, Mark the full name guy. Yeah, he's the only one that I know of that there's been that drunk guy to a couple of times, which one, uh just not limit the possibility day Paul Paul Paul, Oh Paul from

Rhode Island, right plastered Paul Blastard Paul. He doesn't go by that, And of course Mark just uses Mark. So yeah, those are the two that I know of. You haven't gotten Marcel in Brooklyn. No, you know what, if you want, I can say, hey, Marcel, I don't don't we don't. I can help him out. We thought we were friends. We could get Andre from the Commonwealth to call you Andre. Yeah, he'll break it down with you. Good. No, all right, I'm just saying I I know people. Andrew and Fremont

would be a nice flashback though. Andrew, he still calls the Overnight Show. Still he knows every baseball player imaginable. Outside of baseball, he's a little bit on basketball. He's like a trivia guy that Andrew right next up on the mailbag Craigster in Seattle Rights and he says, hey, Ben and Danny, g you guys are doing a great job. Please put together some sports cliches you've heard this week

in the NFL. So he's looking for sports cliches, Danny here, any that you you had, These are like the whole cliche thing. It's pretty much the same whether it's the regular season or the playoffs. Playoffs, it gets intensified a little bit in the playoffs because you hear a lot of they're gonna have to play the best game of

their season to to the next round. Yeah, well, there's there's there's certain things that coaches say that like the you know, I love they just made more plays than we did, you know, or like Staley when he said I only was out coached for a half. Yeah. The fun thing about the playoffs is you can't say we'll correct it or you know, we'll we'll fix it next week. You can't say that, so we had a really good week of practice, Ben, Yeah, And it's hard to say

adversity makes you stronger when you've just lost. At least, we won't hear from Dave Roberts in the playoffs saying I really liked him in that spot, right, So we won't we won't get that. Uh, but like the halftime interview thing is hilarious to me because almost never does anything come out of that that makes you any better

as a fan. It's like, it's either we need to play more consistently if we want to win this game, you know, or we have to get more stops on defense, or we just gotta score more points, you know, something like that. I could do the halftime interview. I watched so many these shitty halftime interviews. Let me tell the offensively, we just we just need more explosive place, you know, we gotta be more efficient with the ball. It's like, okay, how do you feel about those two turnovers? Get your

fucking microphone out of my face. Forget about that. We just need to stop the run, we need a better job pressuring the quarterback, and we'll be okay. Right and then and then when you lose, it's like, well, I'm really proud of how these guys battle, you know, I'm really proud of how they battle. Our guys gave it everything they had, you know, and it's just it's great, that's a really good team over there, and that that team is a good team, that's a quality opponent. Right,

we just didn't get the job done today. We didn't execute today. It's like, come on, is that enough cliches can be? Can we move? Have satisfied the quota for Craigster in Seattle? You know why Michael Parsons is one of my favorite defenders that he runs sideline to sideline. Oh is that right? Yeah, He's all over that field. You know what I like about him is he he focuses on the fundamentals. That's what I like. You know, It's all about the the fundamentals. Man, It's just really

just that's what it's all about. This is a special group, by the way, Danny, this team is a special group. And I'm gonna miss coaching this team. You know, this is a good team. The future is bright. Things are looking up all right. Moving on Mike from Fullerton rights in. He says, Hey, Ben and Danny g after saying you almost got killed driving to work in the rain, have the people over tire iraq dot com called to hook

you up with new high performance wet tires. It'd be a really bad look for the tire iraq dot com studios if one of the employees can't drive in the rain due to crummy tires. How and and he says, how many scary moments have either of you had in a plane, train, or automobile? And we talked about this one time. Yeah, yeah, we've gotten into that. Thanks for listening to I appreciate that. And I'm still waiting. I'm sure tire rack will get to me at some point here, Danny,

and they'll hook me up with the tires. Right, that will happen. I'll let you know what the discount code is because I'm actually gonna find out from sales if as employees we get a discount because Spot Coveno and myself for my wife's car, we all need new tires. So we just had a huddle about this a couple of days ago, and for some reason I got nominated to find out what the discount code is. You're the

guinea pig. Yeah, they're like, you go ask. I'm sorry to let you know, Danny, but well, let me know. That'd be great because I absolutely listen. I tire rack dot Com is a great product, and it would be even better for those of us that work here and do all these commercials if they like give us a little well we'll discount would be nice. But they're already they're already very cheap as it is, I mean not cheap. The quality is not cheap, the prices are are outstanding.

So yeah, I'm curious about that. But as far as ry moments, and we've talked about that a lot, most of mine involved automobiles. I only had one really crazy thing on a plane where we hit turbulence and my stomach was like in my in my brain, and it was it was wild, not a lot. I don't ride a lot of trains, so I really haven't had many problems with that. I've had a few trains breakdown and we've had to wait to get somebody to come let us off the train. That happened a few times when

I did public transportation. But that's that's about it. So any any added stories you want to share? Should we move on, Danny, what do you think? I'll just recap mine really quick. I had told a story before about flying over the city of New Orleans and there was a thunderstorm right over the airport. So the pilot pilots just kept circling and circling and waiting. We were going to run out of fuel. They were making this announcement.

Everybody's freaking out, So we had to land somewhere else, get fueled up, go back to New Orleans, and then circle the storm again. Ben. We were supposed to be there at like I think it was like a ten pm landing and we didn't get to the airport till three in the morning. That is crazy. What airport did you land at? Where your baton rouge or where do where did you land it? I don't remember the exact airport. I've only been to that city a couple of times.

Was it our newest Fox Sports radio affiliate in Lafayette, Louisiana. The Goat? The Goat? How great and how great a name for radio? I know, that's awesome. Good job by their marketing people. The Goat. That's solid. That's in my top five, right up there with w NFL and Green Bay, which is another Billiant idea for a sports radio station. How to deal with Tom Brady to do the liners? Yeah, Brady,

mother suckers, this is the Goat. Yeah I should have. Hey, this is Wayne Gretzky and you're listening to the Goat and this is yeah. Just have all goats do your liners or the other thing you can do is get a real goat and have the real sound effect, and and that would be another way to go as well.

All right, next up Kevin in Kansas, right since says dear Ben and Danny, g I have an inside baseball, he says, in quotes inside baseball question about the show when you play the caller games involving the crew, how is the crew so good at giving clues? Do you create the game boards ahead of time so the crew is prepared or are you all well versed the so well verse that you know all these former athletes? He says, however you do it, I'm just impressed with all of

your wisdom. Well done. So this has been a point of contention, Danny, you worked on the show for a long time. UM, trust me. We don't get the game boards in advance. Usually it's only a couple of minutes. If that lead time, I wish we got them earlier.

I would I would feel much more comfortable. But normally what happens is Coop puts them together at the very last minute, literally the last minute, and sometimes as I am introducing the callers, I will be handed the game board, which I don't I don't like that too much, Danny, because I like to let kind of know and study the names. I've been able to pull it off, but I think I would do a lot better if I had a little more time. But we don't get a

lot of time. One thing I really miss about working on your show is when I would be running your equipment. Coop would be sitting behind me with five minutes before the game, and he'd say, how about this for sixty? How about this or eighty? Men, I would miss a cue from you because I'd be listening to him run the board past me. I think it does work out better that nobody has the sheet in front of them

until right before the game starts. Well that's one way to look at it, But I I would I wouldn't mind kind of perusing the list here and yeah, I mean maybe a couple of minutes with or. But you don't want somebody going online and writing down information next to each word what Eddie does in that little booth. Uh. We we cannot control another cheating scandal this week. If you missed it, Black Steve the second from North Carolina, Hey man, you might not notice, but I'm black said

the S word and the F word. Now, what is the rule? Ben Danny, You've been with me a long time on the game shows. We came up with a rule you could only say one of those words, not two of them. Yeah, and if you if you you get one warning and if you say if you do it again, that's it, you lose the game. And Eddie is taking credit for a victory that his guy had such a potty mouth. Now Black Steve the Second said, Hey, I'm you know I was. I was high and that's

why I did. But listen, those are the rules. And Eddie trying to break the rules. Bat up by him? How about shut up? Bat job by him? All right? Next up Chris in Maricocota, Iowa. Right, so he says, Ben and Danny g I am visiting my wife's family in San Francisco at the end of January, and the need that must eat locations in the Bay besides the usual in and out and Del Taco. Wow, I didn't realize Del Taco is on the list, Danny from Iowa.

If you come out to l A or San Francisco yet del Taco, he says, any advice on the area or areas to avoid, Yeah, so downtown, you know, I listen, I haven't spent too much time in San Francisco last time I was there, though, Downtown San Francisco City proper. You don't want to spend much time down there. That's that's that's not good. But yet Golden Gate Park beautiful. There's the Sour Dough Bread place not far from that park. Yeah,

that you gotta eat the sour dough Bread. The only restaurant I will say for me because of what I liked thet you gotta that. And I think this is the last location. I think the one in l A closed, The Stinking Rose. Have you ever been to the Stinking Role Yeah, Oh yeah, it's a it's a garlic. Everything's got extra garlic in it and any kind of garlic you could possibly want at the Stinking Rows. It's it's it's a little pricey, depending on how much you like

to spend it. Restaurants. They used to have one in l A, but it closed because of COVID, and I don't think they don't think they reopened. Yeah, I don't know if they did not. As far as I know, they did not, But may I hope they come back because I used to go there. That's actually where I went when I got engaged Danny. That's where I took my my now wife. We went to the the Stinking Rose shocker. Yeah, yeah, that's uh, but it makes sense

though everybody knows you get COVID from garlic. Oh, of course, there's no doubt. All right, what is next year on the mail bag? So sour dough bread end, the stinking ros those are the two. You get. The bread bull, the sour dough bread bull with the clam chowder in it. That's the move there, that's the move. Yeah, all right, yeah, I'm looking at the website here and it says permanently closed, so I don't think there they'll be opening up the

l a location. All right. Uh, waltz in the Valley of the Sun rights and he says, what happened to the frozen Tomahawks steak that Mr West of the four oh five gave you? That's question one. Well, we talked about that in a previous podcast. At the Christmas party, he demanded that we cooked the steak and he grabbed the steak out of the freezer and ended up cooking it at the party. Total dick move, but he did it. So the steak has been eaten. The steak is gone.

He also says, well, when will these social justice warriors call for remain renaming the classic tomahawks steak? He says, what do you and Danny G think would be a good new name about the snowflake blood geer uh, he says, yeah, that has not been on the cancel list. The Tomahawks steak has not gotten to that. That list is that I know they got really Eskimo the Eskimo pie is gone and all those other things, but not the Tomahawks day. I mean, I think he kind of named it there

because it rhymes the snowflake steak. There you go, perfect, Well, you've answered your own question. Although it is interesting to note, Danny that in Atlanta the braves still have the tomahawks chopped right that the Yeah, so do the chiefs that arrowhead. Is it possible that the term tomahawk is going to be allowed still, that they haven't canceled, or it's just they haven't gotten to it yet. All right, Next up,

I ring in. Okay, see on the mail bag, he says, Benny the Baker, Danny G or should I say Daddy Gaddy the big homie, Hey, big, Since you are the king of nicknames. What are some of yours and Danny G's favorite nicknames in sports? Or like? How come Dion Sanders is the only one with the prime time nickname as always much love you guys, greatest blah blah.

I liked it because as a little kid, we're watching Roy Hobbs on three pitches strike out the Whammer who was supposed to be Babe Ruth. Yeah, that's a good one. Remember Darryl Dawkins nickname Chocolate Thunder That was. That was pretty good. It sounds like a stripper or or a porn star or something like that. Stripper ish of people too. There was a picture who became known

Carl Malone a mail man.

Carl I worked with. Carl Malone did a radio show back and many years ago and was a terrible radio host, but a very nice man and hilarious that My boss said that It was during an NBA work stoppage in the late nineties and my boss is like, listen, this is just a gimmick. This this he had insider information my boss at the time. He said, this thing is only gonna last like a week. Carl is gonna do a weeks show, so I'll go back to playing for

the Utah Jazz. That fucking thing lasted several months and Carl had a deal. He had to do the show during the work stoppage, and the thing kept going on and on and on and on. They missed like half the season and it was always supposed to last a week. So um anyway, so under something the then to the greatest from our childhood, Magic and the Fridge Refrigerator Perry. Yeah. The Red Sox had a picture a couple of years back named Iguappo. They called him Ilguappo fat guy, and

he pitched for a bunch of other teams. But I remember him back in the older the Wizard Ozzie Smith with the Cardinals. Okay, I got one just came into my head right now. Nine. We're around the same age. Nineteen eighties, African American starting picture mostly remembered for the Red Sox. Oh oil Can Yeah, Dennis oil Can boy. Yeah that's a good one. Oh yeah, that's awesome. When I was a kid, I thought, my god, how fucked up? More? His parents they named them oil Can. I mean, what

When you think of it, Dr j um let's see the answer. Oh yeah, remember the chief with the Celtics in the Yeah, yeah, the the admiral. Yeah. See, now we're getting crazy, you know, sweetness. Walter Payton, Yeah, Walter Payton was another one the big unit. Oh, Randy Johnson. That's a great nickname. Yeah, for more than more than

Done. Anyway, all right, that's so I can go on and on. But but thank you, Kyrie, you inspired some good conversation. We thank

you for that. God bless you U. Nick in Wisconsin? Right, so, he says, Hey, Ben and Mr g. After three years of course cases, a massage parlor owner finally was found guilty for keeping a place of prostitution in my area of Wisconsin. Question for YouTube gents, have you ever gotten a happy ending after getting a massage? Don't lie? Uh, these are things we need to know as listeners. Yeah,

so I'll go first on this, dandy. I I will not allow the massage We used to have a sponsor when I was doing local radio and it was a massage place out in the San Fernando Valley on Ventura Boulevard, and we did it. I did an appearance and it was like a Saturday thing where I was supposed to get people to come down, dudes to get massages, and they offered they offered me a bunch of massage, and I would not allow. I would not allow the massage.

Like as far as all the farthest I'll go in that world is like a manny and a petty, which I considered kind of a massage right for your you know, for my feet. I've gotten the the manny part of it, but the the full massage I've never gotten. Now, you told the famous story Danny about your now your now bride, Yeah and massages, which is an all time great story. Yeah. She got roughed up by by an Asian gal who

I guess was attracted to her. She straddled her, took her clothes off of her, smacked her ass, uh, put her cupped her boobs with her hands, put hot stones in her butt. Crack t M. I an all time great massage. Um, And I've never got to go to a CD place like that. I'm married now, but when I was single, the closest I ever came to it ben As. I was dating this girl who was going to school to be a masseuse, and she even had

that table, that special table. Yeah, she would bring the table over sometimes and she'd be like, I bet you're not gonna mind. I want to practice on you. And I was like, you can practice all you want. Yeah, my my wife actually has one of those those massage tables. But yeah, I never ended up. And I went to strip clubs and places like that back in the day. And when I first went to New York, they had

all the peep shows and all that crap. But I never went to the massage where record companies would take us. When there would be like showcases and um junkets, they would always be like an event or a showcase of an artist at a strip club. There was never anything to do with massage parlors. So we never got the Deshaun Watson treatment. It was always the uh, the Adam pac Man Jones treatment. Yeah, all right, I'll keep going

to get a few more in here. Pierre not from Springfield, home of the Nay Smith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame where Muffett mcgraws and shrined. Then last week you spoke of your misfortune in the studio with the light as well as the microphone. As a long time p one, believe you know that your plight was obviously caused by mercury and retrograde. Ye, he says Pierre. My question to you and Daddy G is what other items have you

broken in the studio over the years. So he now wants us to the statue of limitations has run out on this, so we can we can do it. So over the years, let's see, I've broken a lot of headphones. I've had some chairs where I've leaned back and they've snapped. That's not good. I at the at the Fox lot, we used to have studios. We used a lot over there. This was it doesn't really kind of something broken broken,

but it was ruined. I sat in the chair and there was a little screw in the chair and it I kind of slid off the chair and it ripped my pants up and down the leg. And I then had to walk out of the Fox lot with all these big TV and executives and all this and my pants were ripped, and I tried to walk out of an emergency like staircase, but you could walk down the emergency staircase, but you still had to walk through the

main entrance and exit. And it was like I was trying to walk with my butt against the wall because I didn't want any to see that. You'd see my otherwhere, and it was that was pretty bad. What about you, Danny? Uh? You know, I've never turned the network off like wrong button, Bob. That's the greatest. Oh, that's an awesome story. We'll tell on another episode. You know, the mic has come off in my hand a couple of times, but that wasn't me that that's happened several times in our older studio.

I don't know. Yeah, I've never like broke something egregiously where it was like, oh my god, this broke and I'm the reason for it. I haven't had my in the sun like you did a couple weekends ago. I was the incredible Hulk. I was he man. I had out of this world strength. I've had the mic fall off multiple times. I mean, you took out a light and you took out you wound up taking out not just the mic stand but you actually messed up the

compression on the microphone. Yeah, that's the trifecta right there, Danny, I had the trifected, not the daily double. I had the trifector, man. Yeah, you should have did parlays after that. Yeah, that's a three team parlay. Take it to the hissy. That is a win win win is what that is? What is that? All right? Let's see what else do we have? James from Altuna, Iowa writes, and he says, why are we still hearing the promo for the weekend

podcast the Fifth Hour? Still says the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and David Gascon, who he says, I know sometimes it takes a while, but it's been quite a while. What's up with that? Let's show Danny ge some respects. So this is a great mystery, Danny, is the I Heart Podcast networks so big that we don't much like that high school we talked about yesterday in Massachusetts where they can't turn the lights off, that we as a were a huge company, that nobody at the company can

figure out how to switch out the podcast promo? Is it possible? I don't know where he's hearing that, because it's not from Fox Sports Radio. That's got to be something that was given to I Heeart a long time ago and they still play it. Uh, And that's got nothing to do with us, unfortunately. I don't know who needs to talk to them to get that fixed. But on our side, his name was cut out and it's just saying Ben mallor so I don't know. I don't

know the answer to that. And frankly, you and I don't have time to screw around with stuff like that, which we did. Yeah, but if you would like to give us more specific information, James, then we're not going to go in a goose chase. But if you give us more information then we can kind of cut down and see where things are next up. Terry from England says, hey, Ben and Danny g with regards to that's the third rail, mah my and the third rail, how and why does

Gavin Newsom maintain his power? What are people think? Well? That is the third rail, Terry, I can't explain it. I was convinced that the people of California would find a way to vote him out. The guy fucking lied to everybody during COVID and went out and had a nice meal at the French laundry. And the people are so stupid they voted him again. That is a that is a fire able offense. I don't even care if you vote another Democrat in, but not that fucking guy.

And they put him in. And not only they put him in terry. You know, there's some of these political places are like that guy could be the next president of the United States. Gavin News God help us all if that's the case. My goodness, man, But yeah, that's I don't know. I don't know what happened. You want to take that one, Danny, You want to hit that one out of the park that we're running out of time here? Oh my god. All right, you know what happens if we talk politics then we lose an overall

point in the podcast rating. Yeah, we don't want that now. We don't want to be down to a four point six. This doesn't have the number one station anymore, is it. Yeah. Jeff from Chandler writes in the Chandler As only says, why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near? I love your work? Real question. We don't know Danny G's last name as a clue. He wants to know what is your ethnic background. Well, you've already said your name on the year, you've said your last name any times?

Is that correct? And yeah, Well one side of my family is the Graudios. The other side is the gara Delis. The Groudios don't have much money. The garat Delis obviously have an empire. So I'm right in the middle, Ben, because I've explained before that my grandfather told me he just wanted us kids to be happy no matter what we did. It didn't have to be the family business. So I chose radio. It's kind of like garat Deliti money, but it's more fun. Yeah, exactly. Uh, Pat from Orlando,

right scenes. Just do any of y'all have any interest other than sports? Well? Yeah, we we talked about these on the podcast every Saturday. We talked about what we're into. Yeah, Danny's in all kind of I'm into cooking and baking and crap like that, and I'm into making babies. Yeah, Danny's a baby making machine over there. So I race cars. Yeah, alright,

so you come come on, Pat. Thanks for the question, though, Cliff and Nashville says Ben, have you heard at any rumblings about Nashville and a major League Baseball team, Yes, Cliff, I know. A couple of years ago Dave don Browski, before he went to the Phillies, was working with a group in Nashville. And from what I've heard is once once Vegas gets a team, that the next city up in the pipeline to force other local cities to give taxpayer money is Nashville. That they're gonna take care of Vegas.

And then the rumors are the Oakland Athletics are gonna move to Vegas and be the Vegas Athletics. And then if Baseball, if they don't get a stadium for Tampa Bay, that that team is in the queue to possibly go to Nashville. So keep an eye on that. So would the Moniker be the l v As? Oh that that's actually that's not bad. Yeah, they gotta keep the athletic nickname, don't they. And they've been around, They've been Kansas City, Philadelphia.

You would think so. But that logo of the elephant take the bat out of its trunk and put one of those tall drinks that you get on the strip. You do that or like a slot machine, you know, one arm bandit My right hand was getting a workout. Dare you anyway? I will get out on that. So I we didn't have time to get to Patricia Brent.
