Kutbooms.
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Wow.
The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
In the air everywhere, The Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny g Ready. But you already knew that, as we bloviate eight days a week, a spin off of the overnight show, The Ben Mahler Show, And of course this is obviously only available in the podcast format. Danny g You hear him on with Covino and Rich during the week on Fox, and he used to work on the show. If you're new to the show, because it's been a while, Danny since you worked with me on the the actual radio show like every day and so
the audience always turns over. But Danny was with us for a number of years and he went off worked with Klay Travis for a while on his show, and now he's with Covino and rich and we do this podcast on the weekends and this is Sunday, and that means it's the mail bag. What is going on? Rather than we? Rather than us? Just go on, I think we should talk to Ohio al and I have n't played some music here.
Yes, yeah, let's go. Let's celebrate my ten years at the network with Ohio au.
It's's mail bag? Is that right? Ten years?
Gonna be ten years when we get to twenty twenty four, So closing in on my tenth year at the network.
Congratulations Mazotov. Ten years, Oh man.
When we get to December, what do they give you.
For ten years? What I forget?
They didn't a run? DMC wrote gold chain.
Yeah, they gave me a pink slip.
Actually, I think they hired me.
On my tenth Anniverse but then they brought me back six months and twenty six days later. Well, congratulations. These jobs are hard to get and they're hard to keep, and so yeah, it's a good, good deal, very nice. And yeah, once you cross certain thresholds, like we went past twenty years a couple of years ago, me and Eddie, so we just kind of don't talk about it. We're just like past past twenty.
That's yeah, it's like once you get into your mid twenties with birthdays, you don't pay attention to them anymore.
Right, No, No, I'm shocked as old as I am. I'm like, I can't believe I'm that old? How did that happen? Who fucked up? How did that happen? That's not supposed to I'm not supposed to be that old.
Come on, isn't it weird when you think about the age we're at right now and think about what was going on in your family when your parents were this same age?
Mind blowing?
Yeah, it's really weird to think about.
Can't wrap my head around it. I can't. I know, it just blows my mind. And it really snuck up on you, you know, it sneaks up on you. That's the thing. You just like live your life. And I was saying, like, holy crap, you know, don't stop and smell the flowers very often. All right. So with that said, on that positive note, we have the mail bag.
Go kill yourself after this podcast. Make sure to listen to at least five minutes before you kill yourself.
No, no, it's all good.
I'm just kidding.
I know, anyway, as long as they come up with the AI that will cause us to live an extra fifty years anyway. So first one from Fred in Spring, Texas. He says, Oh, gentlemen, guys, when you are off vacations, et cetera, do you handpick your fill in or does it Fox Sports Radio assign a substitute. Do you have any input? Well, of course, tread. I have a spreadsheet out, I look at the economics on how much money the
company has. I then go through my roll the decks and try to choose the person that's best fit to fill in. Unless that is not true, and I merely contact my boss and say I'm not working that day, and they say, go to hell. We're going to hire whoever the hell we want to do the show, and we'll probably find somebody who's better than you, who will work cheaper than you, enjoy your time off.
What wasn't this made famous by the great Jim Rome, to hire a fill in host who is not as good as you so that the audience misses you and you come back and they're like, thank god you're back. Yeah.
You never want to be upstaged by the person that fills in for you. You know, and I got in trouble for that when I used to fill in for people
the network guys. I heard from some of the other hosts they were bothered because I had a little cult following and it would annoy them because they got upset with me that people liked me sometimes more than them and that troubled them and they didn't want me filling in for them on some of the shows because of that, which is I don't even you know, I want good people because I get credit when somebody listens to the show when I'm when I'm not there, I still get
credit for it. So I have the people here, but
I have we have nothing to do. Jim Rome did. Yeah, he did pick the worst possibly, which is unfortunate because I knew several of the people that would fill in for Jim Rome and they were terrible, but they were good people, but they were just terrible talk show hosts and they would would sit in and it was like, oh my god, It's like, wow, is this like an open mic at the at the comedy club and you just put anyone in there like a sports radio club or you want to talk sports, you want to fill
in for Jim Rome? Grab a vine. Here you are anyway? Next next up on the mailbag Barry from Music City, USA. He says, Yo yo oh, Mob, Benny and Danny g So the Gremlins bend struck last week, and I must admit when there is silence, it perks up my ears. He says. My question is when the Gremlins strike during your mala monologue, how long do you go before you realize you are not broadcasting.
I feel like we've had this question before.
It's a popular question. The Gremlins are very popular, and we've had a version of this question. But we'll address this anyway. Why not? So I love the fact that you perk up and you listen closely when I stop talking and you hear silence. And that's really why we do it. People think that this is all Gremlins and things like that, but no, we just want more audience engagement.
So we decided that from time to time, just to make sure you're paying attention as a listener, we would just turn my microphone completely off and have technical issues because that would be good for listener engagement. Danny understand. So that's why we're doing it, Barry. We could conduct a perfect show it's very straightforward. We could announce that we're going to do a perfect show. We could do the perfect show and have no issues at all, but we have decided from time to time to keep you
on your toes. That brings up a thing we've talked about in the past here that even though right now you're listening to audio on the podcast, on whatever device you're listening to, the reality is that most people don't pay attention to what we're saying, like the percentage of people that actually pay attention, Like studies have shown when you listen to a radio show or podcast you only remember like less than twenty five percent.
Well, so it's more like comfort like comforting voices. I don't get it because when I listen to different podcasts, I listen to what's being said. Most of the time, you don't remember everything busy, I know, you could get interrupted, like when you're driving and listening or something like that.
But yeah, no, it's actually even worse for television, believe it or not, But but yeah, but just listening to audio, it's like the studies have said, it's between seventeen and twenty five percent where you will actually tangibly remember from listening, which is great. So I both of us, Danny, we could do a show that for seventy five percent of
the show is just absolutely horseshit. But as long as the twenty five percent that people remember passes the ear test, yeah, there's an ecotomy of wonderful sounds and all that, then we're good.
And also we pay close attention to not repeating similar questions and telling the same stories too close to each other in a timeline. In any so, I guess we don't even need to pay attention to that.
Really, if you buy that study research that was done several years back, I would think it's even worse now though, because not only are you listening, you're on your futson around with your phone, you've got your laptop, you're watching a movie on Netflix on your TV. You got a
little bit of this, a little bit of that. The cool thing about this podcast, though, from the feedback we've gotten from the market research we've gotten here, is that a lot of people seem to have this on while they're doing their yard work, yea honeydo list, they're grooming, doing the self grooming, whatever it might be. So anyway, next up on the mailbag, al from HR, says Ben and Danny g He says, Ben, what is going on over there at FSR? It seems like the Bennetts are
off work more than they're there. You're such a mench that I can only assume that you are forwarding all your vacation time to them so you can man your watch post for your loyal minions. What say you, Well, of course, souf. I mean, I do not believe in taking time off and at all, and I will not be going to New York, like I said, unless I actually found a way to go to New York later this month in June. But yeah, it has been a
rocky road for the Benett's. I actually have some information on that I am not allowed to reveal it, but I have a feeling in a future podcast, Danny, we will have much more on that. That's all I can say. My lips are sealed. But yeah, there's some things going on, but I'm not at liberty to talk about those things right now. And maybe I'll never be allowed to talk
about this things, those things. Maybe I will be told never to speak of those things, but I have I have a pretty good vibration that I will be allowed to talk about some of those things. But we would like to have some consistency, and we have not had much consistency lately. But that happens. That happens sometime to time. And the great thing is whether any of those people are there. I'm there, I'll do the show, so the show will go on, and but we'd like to have the same people there.
Yeah. Poor Patrick, he's so new to radio that I heard him the other night on your live show doing like an announcer voice. Yeah, and I was like, oh, poor kid. Reminded me of when we first broke into broadcasting.
Yeah, you gotta figure it out, you gotta figure it out. And yeah, well exactly, but trial and error. Yeah. I like Patrick Patty he had good energy.
I like it, so he did. He's a good kid. Yeah.
I don't really know him. I didn't really know him. I'd seen him a couple of times in the building and I got a call saying he was filling in for Coop on was it Memorial Day? Was that the all? Yeah? The more they all? Anyway? John in Colorado writes in he says, Hey, back when you were a kid, you guys running around on your bikes, riding around the neighborhood and going to the convenience store with a little bit of money in your pocket, what was your go to purchase?
I was partial to the Hostess fruit pie.
Those are like six hundred calories.
Oh they're so good though, the apple pie with the frosting caked on the outside, so good.
Yeah, and you just explained why you were an offensive lineman.
Yes, well that really is the answer here to the question from John, our buddy in northern California. So I would go through the entire Hostess lineup, the twin, the ding Dong, the cream pie, ggy, uh, the what was the it was, I'm having a bud.
There was something magical about the way Hostess was able to like the shell, the chocolate shell with a soft inside. Yeah, boy, that's really what you grabbed first at the convenience store though.
Oh no, no, no, no, that I mean listen, I was a fat kid. I loved everything, and I went through all kinds.
Of I was going to tell you had a lot of pocket change too, because we would ride down the Stater Brothers and we've got a pack of Hubba Bubba. Oh that was the starter, and we you know, if you had you know, what was it, forty five fifty cents you could get a pack of Hubba Bubba gum. And you remember the old commercials, the Wild Wild West guy they had Battle with the bubbles.
Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, that's a I'm trying to think I was one. My mom, May she rest in peace. She took us when we were kids. We I've talked about this in the past, but it's been a while. We went to a host this factory outlet store, oh yeah, yeah, and Santa Ana and they had, you know, endless amounts of ding dongs and cupcakes and all that. But they had I forget what it's called. Maybe you know it's the it's like a twinkie, but it was red. You know what those were?
Oh singer?
Yeah yeah, And that was like that was like an exotic item when I was a kid because I didn't see the zinger that much, so I felt like I was winning big. But it's far to get back to the question. Yeah, I wroteated. You know what was a big thing when I was a kid the fun dips? Remember the fun dips where you got a little sugar stick and then you dip it into the other sugar.
Great sugar sugar on top of sugar on more sugar.
Yeah, that was always that was always a lot of fun.
But then again, Jolly Ranchers Ben Jolly Ranchers and now and Laters.
Yeah, and we were big eminem fans. But there were a couple of years after ET came out that we didn't go for M and M's anymore, Danny. We moved on from Eminem's because Pieces the Reese's Pieces was cool man, because that's what ET, That's what he liked. And uh yeah, so anything any other snacks here, d Any of you have flashing in your mind there that stand out?
The fruit roll up?
Oh yes, I got so fat on fruit roll ups because my mom. The marketing were those are like kind of healthy and they were marketing that they had when I was a kid, they had these granola bars, but they were really just candy bars marketed as granola bars.
Yeah, oh yeah.
And my mom, you know, she also had some issues with her weight and whatever. But you know, she got issues and health problems, that's why she had that, But she would buy these granola bars because they market them that they were healthy, but they were just like eating a Snickers bar. But they were just marketing. They were on the granola aisle and I ate so many of those things too, man.
Yeah. In the produce section there was the healthy version of the fruit roll up. Do you remember that? They were bigger and supposedly they were made out of more natural fruit, and so my mom would say, if you're gonna get a fruit roll up, you're gonna get one of those. But they're too expensive, so you're not getting any fruit roll up. Yeah. Thanks, joy killer?
Yeah, yes, suck the joy out of my childhood. How dare you what's wrong with? Man? Next up on the mailbag Mike in Fullerton. He says Born Giorno, Ben and Danny g Are either of you big fans of salads? Or do you think they're just boring waste of time for the main course?
Like me?
Yeah, I have run my life on a anti salad platform and I have been very successful at dodging salads. The only salad items I will eat are croutons that my wife will give me, and I will eat them as long as they are covered in thousand Island dressing and not ranch. I will eat them. Sometimes. My mom, when she would eat salads when I was a kid, she'd give me the if they put cheese on top of the salad, I'd have that. But that's about it. Yeah, Danny, are you a big salad guy? You love the salads?
Well, you know, speaking to my mom, she made a really good salad when I was a kid, and ranch, the Hidden Valley Ranch that you had to stir and make with a sour cream bend. The best ranch in the world. Yeah, so good. And now as an adult, I love a good cob salad where there's some nice crispy bacon in there, the egg and it. Dude, if you get a good cob salad or a good caesar salad, great, that's a great addition to any meal.
Yeah. See the thing about those salads when you start mixing in the food that the chicken and the other stuff, you might as well just eat chicken or eat a burger. You're mixing in the other crab. You have a desire to eat that other food. And remember the salads. I forget what restaurant this is probably ten fifteen years ago, they had the calories on a salad were more than a big mac. Hey, what are you doing? You know, you might as well just eat a big mac. It tastes better.
Yeah, Well, I wasn't eating a cob salad at there's a place here called Lazy Dog Cafe. I wasn't eating. Yeah, I wasn't eating the cob salad there at Lazy Dog because I thought it was healthy. It just tastes damn good the way they combine all the elements of the salad. So it's got to be a top not salad to go there, because I understand what he's saying. I'd rather order a nice entree and if anything, you get the little tiny side salad with ranch prior to your entree.
I have been to the Lazy Dog Diner. I liked it more before they changed their menu.
Though.
They are open up relatively late so that you can go there and get a late night bite to eat where we are.
Yeah, but they COVID changed their menu, which sucks.
Yeah, the menu blow. They used to be just traditional burgers, chicken fingers, like really hearty food.
And they did breakfast pizza back in the day, which was really good. That's off the menu now, and.
Some asshole over there changed the menu and they get all this fru fru crap on there, and all this elite is bullshit, And I don't know. You're trying too hard. It's a bad job by you. Keep it simple, exactly, give the people what they want. How many items does in and Out have? Hardly any items. But they're really good at it. What they have, they're really good at it. Right, They've mastered it. I don't need to have every exotic meat from some foreign land or whatever. It just stop stop, stop,
stop stop stop. Next up, Jennifer. Oh wait, there's one more for Mike. I'm sorry. We'll get to Jennifer in a minute, says Mike. Says, also, I'm curious if Danny G's life flashed before his eyes or not when he almost got run over in that police chase.
No, it had all happened so fast. But I will tell you this though, that weird feeling you get, kind of like that feeling after you get stopped for speeding, which happened to you recently, takes you probably like an hour to feel like yourself again, because you just you're amped up. I guess it's that feeling right before a big game, you know you could run through a wall. You're adrenaline is pumping.
Yeah, for sure, for sure, And then when you have to drive once you get the ticket, and then you have to do the the shame maneuver of trying to get back on the highway and everyone knows you've just been pulled over. But I think people should let you in because you took one for the team, because by me getting the ticket, all those hundreds of cars that went by in Minneapolis on that highway did not get a ticket.
So wonderful, and we threw a man of the people exactly.
I took one for the team. Anyway, Thank you, Mike. Jennifer the lovely and talented Jennifer in Richmond, Virginia, a big supporter, part of the very small female contingent of fans of the show. She says, Ben and Danny g welcome back. I love hearing all the stories from your trip to Minnesota recently. Had I was rather I was, Jennifer says, at Bush Gardens with two of my kids and was very sad to find that none of the
funnel cake shops were open. That's not if you go to a place like Bush Gardens, you got to get a little funnel take action. I agree with you on that, she says. She took a picture here. The question is would you make these at home if you could. Are you a funnel cake guy? When you go to an amusement park or a fun zone.
Danny used to be the one thing we would not only want, but have to get at Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, Like, you could not leave that park without getting a funnel cake. I like it, but in small doses, so like the girl I would be dating at the time and be at the park with she would get one. I would take a bite or two, and then I was good. I would let her have the rest. It's not something you could sit down and eat all by yourself unless you're a fat ass ye super rich.
I probably could make that, but it takes a lot of work. I'm looking at a recipe here. By the way, Jennifer sent me a photo of the place at Busch Gardens. Big Benz funnel cakes.
Nice.
I gotta see if I tried to find them online to see if they have hats or shirts or something like that. But I could not find a website selling Big Benz funnel cakes. That's like something I get.
The best ones have all that strawberry sauce on them.
Yeah, the gooey, bright red strawberry sauce. Absolutely, So I'm looking at a recipe here I can make it, but it's much easier to just go to the county fair and get it. So you need oil, milk, eggs, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, sugar, so not that many ingredients. And yeah, I think I'm good on that, but I did love funnel cakes back back in the day. Next up is our buddy George from Uvaldi, Texas as a
Georgia a teacher there, big fan. He listens to the show prior to starting his day, gets to school early and listens to the show in the classroom. He's getting the day ready and whatnot there and Uvalde, Texas, and he I wonder what he's going to do during the summer, because it's almost here, right, this is the time the kids are done with the school and all that, depending on where you are, and.
Yeah, exactly, all districts obviously are a little bit different earlier or later. But this is the general time for graduation classes right now.
Yeah, although I think on the East coast where they get really bad weather, places like Midwest whatever, they might wait another month or so. But because of snow days, like my niece is graduating from high school. That's why I have to go to New York. And she's not graduating for like another three weeks or something like that, so they've got almost a bunch.
Doesn't stop Major League Baseball from starting their schedule.
Yeah, Baseball, if they could would start, I think in February, they would right after the Super Bowl start. They kind of do its spring training anyway. Next up is Walt in the Valley of the Sun. He says, is there a meal your spouse loves making that you are not a fan of, but happily eat to maintain marital bliss? The Walt points out that his wife makes her grandmother's noodle Google recipe. You know what that is. That's like a Jewish dish. It's noodles and like cheese and stuff.
It's like a casserole kind of pudding type thing, mostly just noodles in it. And I don't mind it. But apparently Walt does not find it very appetizing, he says. He says, we all pretend to like it. He says his wife does not seem to notice that there are always plenty of leftovers when she makes the dish. Well, she might like it, though, maybe your wife's like, hey, that's more for me, you losers, I'll all you got to eat the leftovers. My wife is very good about this.
She generally only makes things I like, which I think she realizes that we'll be married forever if that's the case. But she she does go out of the way in that department. I'm trying to think, is there anything she makes that I don't? I don't like because usually on the weekends I cook most of the meals on the weekends, or it's a joint effort. It's like we both cook
her or I'm or I'm cooking. So yes, really nothing anything you're you're in this, You're in the hunting moon face though, right, Danny.
So anything she I mean, I've known her now for three years and everything she cooks is wonderful. But there I've been a couple of times where she'll take a crock pot out and make vegetable soup. And I've never been a fan of vegetable soup ever since my grandma tried to torture me and my siblings by force feeding us these gross, soggy vegetables. No, I'm not interested. I don't want anybody's vegetable soup. I don't care who's making it.
Yeah, I don't. I agree with you. I don't need that's that's good. That's a pass. Don't need that action, boss, don't need that action. Al from mean Minnesota rites in every buddy Al Al recommended that great deli that I went to in Minnesota. So thank you for that with the number one Ruben in the Twin Cities. And Al was at the mall of meet and greet. He says, did you enjoy the north Shore bed? Where did you eat? He says, thanks again for all the lass during the
wee hours of the morning. So to answer your question, Ol, we went to Figures brew House, Brewery and Grill, which is that's the place I sent you to the photo Danny. It's like there's some stores and there's a brew house, and there's a brewery, and there's like a hotel. But it's literally right on the water.
Yeah, yeah, yeah lake. It looks like it looks like you're standing in the in the lake there.
Yeah, it's wild. The food was really good. I enjoyed it. That's where I got my poutine burger. I had beer battered cheese curds and a poutine burger. So yeah, I've never seen a poutine burger anywhere. So I don't live in Canada. I'm sure you have that there, but I I was just south of Canada there in Minnesota. I loved it. It was great, it was wonderful, glorious. Col In Grand Junction rights in formally from the Twin Cities. He says, are you a morning or evening shower person?
He says, so, yes, I am a I am a fan of the evening shower, which is actually in the morning shower. I normally take a shower when I go to bed. I want to go to bed fresh and clean and wonderful. And since my bed is clean, I feel like I get up and everything's good to go on that. What about you, Danny? Are you a multi shower guy? Morning shower, night shower. Where you at on that?
It depends on what's going on in my weird schedule. But I always shower before I get ready for work.
That's your the big shower before we Yeah? Yeah, did we? By the way, did I skip over? George? And you have all these actual questions?
What was it?
It was about burritos? I don't think I even read it.
Oh, yeah, no, you didn't read this burrito question.
That job by me, George, how I was talking about you. I got sidetracked. You're fired all anyway, George, and you have all these questions. We go back to George, George, George, George, George, George, George, and then I'll get back to Ketch George George of the Jungle. I think that I think we answered Cal's question because I take showers before bed. You take showers right before work or whatever. And George's questions, do you prefer a breakfast burrito or a burrito for lunch or dinner?
So I'll go first. I love I love tacos. That's my favorite Mexican food. But burritos are from time to time. But you know what, I really like the chimmy chonga because the chimmy chonga is the burrito. But it's a fried burrito and I can have that for lunch or dinner. Love it with a basket of chips. Can't go wrong with that wonderful food. And I'm not a big breakfast guy, so I don't really do the breakfast burrito. My wife loves breakfast burritos, not a big fan. And with the
breakfast burrito thing like, I don't like my breakfast. I don't eat breakfast a lot. I'll eat it a few times a year. I go with the pancakes, corn beef hash that's my move. What about you, Danny.
I have a classic drop of you saying in mister T's voice, I'm bitting the fool who give me a burrito.
That's right, I remember that ranting.
Don't note where did that drop come from. I have no idea why you were saying.
That must have come from ask Ben.
Yeah, it must have nothing like this, nothing like this, all original programming.
Yes, you know.
The only, honestly, the only burrito I like is the American burrito, which comes from one Taco Bell. They're classic bean and cheese burrito. I love that red sauce they put in there and the way it all melts together. Something about that classic bean and cheese burrito from Taco Bell will have me going back there for the rest
of my life. There's been times where I go through that drive through once in a while, maybe once every other week, and that's all all orders, just one bean and cheese burrito and maybe a little drink, and I'm out of there.
How upset are the people at Taco Bell when you come in there and order just one? Was that two bucks?
There's something real like it's yeah, two dollars in change now, But then you get a drink and they jack you a couple dollars unless it's that happier hour from two to five, which is a life hack. Don't get a drink from them unless it's two to five pm.
I've not been to Taco Bell in what what's the two to five hack? What is it?
It's like a reduced price for their drinks and their slushies from two to five pm. So that's the only time I'll get a drink. If it's not around that time, bend, then I'll add a crunchy taco onto the order. That way, I don't seem like some cheap ass only getting one burrito.
So how much of this is nostalgia and how much of this is I like.
The burrito When you're craving beans, that classic bean and cheese burrito is the way to go.
Yeah, I'm looking at the burrito menu here the lineup at Taco Bell. They've got the grilled cheese burrito that actually looks pretty good. The beefy five layer burrito.
There's too much going on.
There'll be cheese that'll send you to the what burrito Supreme? They got the Chipotle Ranch grilled chicken burrito. There's a lot going on with that one.
The beefy burrito, the beef what.
It says, beefy Milt. It kind of looks like what Bella did the other day. Some of these, the most what's the most expensive beer? The grilled cheese burrito, that's that's a luxury item, Danny it is. That's four seventy nine.
Yeah. I tried the beef version of that. It was pretty good. But the sauce they put on it has a little kick, it's a little spicy.
That's seven and twenty calories.
For that sounds about right.
Yeah, that's that's a lot.
That's gotta be careful and that's why crap like that. It's a treat.
Rare and appropriate.
Rare, Yeah, rare and appropriate, exactly.
Last one from John in Omaha will get out on this. John says, do you think you could survive you guys in a post New Clear bombing world? Where as all of today's conveniences, we're all of these the conveniences of the modern world taking away like cell phones and whatnot. No, I would I would be dead. I mean I would try. I would try. I'm not a hunter, so I wouldn't be able to hunt. I am trying to grow grass in my backyard. I'll let you know how that goes.
But my idea of hunting is to go to the meat aisle at the butcher shop there at the grocery store. That's my idea of hunting. So yeah, I think if armageddon happens, that's a good time to check out. That's that. What about you, Danny, You think you'd be able to survive off the grid with nothing but the shirt on your back and like a pocket knife and some duct tape like mcguiver back in the day.
Well, as you know, I've been to the Bath Lake Derby, the fishing Derby, three years in a row. I'd like to think of myself as a survivalist, even though I didn't catch any fish. But if I had to ben that would be my form of hunting would be fishing. And if it came down, if push came to shove, I think I could catch enough fish to live. But sounds like those fish would probably be radioactive.
Yeah, yeah, a little bit. They'd be light up, they'd be green like neon green. But that's all right, right.
If we were because he said it would be a post nuclear world.
Yeah, post nuclear bombing, so kabooms.
Yeah. Oh even if you caught fish, could you eat them? I mean, you're right, you should just be dead, because I think you'd be screwed. There'd be no way to eat.
Yeah, even the people that and I'm sure we have listeners that are that have like bomb shelters and things like that. But the amount of food, the rations you would have to have. How many years of food would you have to have to survive and water before you could come out of your little bunker and see the world.
Yeah, they have to be like an Encino man or in one of those movies, this is the Brendan Fraser movie, he and his family are down in that bunker because they thought there was a nuclear war. It would have to be like that, because that bunker was pimped out and they had supplies for years. So you'd literally have to be set up like that.
So just get a Hollywood movie studio to put the bunker together and you're good.
All you have to do.
And on that note, we will get out. We have an NBA Finals game today. Also, I'll be back in the radio dojo hanging out blowb eating talking about all the baseball Yankees and Dodgers series this weekend and.
The whoser picked by the way for the NBA Finals.
Oh, I picked the Denver Nuggets the Nuggies in six games. I went with a chalk What about you, Danny, what was your pick? I didn't hear your pick.
My heart is with the heat. My head says the Nuggets are just too powerful of a team offensively to beat. But I really I've always liked Jimmy Butler. I've always rooted for him, So I would like to see Jimmy Butler raise the trophy.
Oh yeah, I'm a huge Jimmy Butler fan. And I went on a rant. Some guy got all upset with me. I did a monologue this week, and in the monologue, I pointed out that it's embarrassing for all the players in the NBA. Jimmy Butler should not stand out because he just plays hard. He stands out because he makes the other players look bad with the tenacity and the way that he plays the game. Because so many of these other guys are just kind of.
You know, it's like, come on, no, you're right. He does not walk up and down the floor, that's for sure.
Yeah, I have a wonderful Sunday. Thank you you are my favorite. Lison for downloading this podcast, subscribing to this podcast, telling a friend about the podcast, and Danny, you're off today from work as well, you're back tomorrow.
