Kabooms.

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 cutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
The clearing House of Hot takes break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
In the A A rewhere. Welcome into the podcast Dojo.
No days off, not even on a holiday weekend. Now,
we had the podcast on Friday and we're back again.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallor and Danny G Radio. Danny,
(00:50):
are you surviving the holiday weekend? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Early on this Saturday morning, cod is to my right.
It's been a really good Thanksgiving so far, although only
one of the football games was decent.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, well back back on Thanksgiving it was not. Yeah,
it was like there was only the early game, although
that was green Bay jumped out way ahead of the Lions.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
But yeah, oh I like that because Perfet was filling
in on the board when Covino and Rich and I
were doing the Dan Patrick Show on Thursday morning, was
labbing about the Lions, and he even got into it
a little bit with Nick Cope after the show was
over desecrating the Chicago Bears. He was talking crap about
(01:37):
the Packers and Nick Cope told him, you know what, Chris,
maybe your team needs to win something before you talk.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Smack.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Oh man, look at that Nick Kopien right in his
face there. Yeah. We got those Lions muscles though now
because they won a few games, but they go kaput
on Thanksgivings.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Those muscles didn't flex quite right on Turkey Day.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yeah. Well, I would like to thank this Thanksgiving that
we had the Jim Mersey that came out on that
story came out on Thanksgiving. They were like several good
stories on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Greg Popovich grabbing the mic.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah that was a good one too. I mean there's
some decent stuff, and I want to thank these guys
because Thanksgiving, you know, we still have to work, right
the radio station doesn't shut down and all that. And
I did the show leading into Thanksgiving, so it's nice.
And we've had big holidays. I remember, we've been NBA trades,
they've been free agent signings. I think years ago I
(02:32):
was doing a Thanksgiving show and Kurt Shilling signed with
the Red Sox. I want to think, I want to
say that happen on Thanksgiving. There have been NBA trades
that have happened on Thanksgiving. So we've had over the years,
we've had stuff. It's not like it's just completely shuts down.
It's not like the month of what June right, the
month of June and sports radio, which is generally after
(02:53):
the NBA Finals before football gets going, it is kind
of a waste land where you have to get creative,
really have to get creative to make the magic. But
Thanksgiving pretty good. So on this podcast, we've got parton
issued vip baby, backscratcher or do we have backscratcher phrase
(03:15):
of the week, and pop goes to the culture if
we have time for all that, which we probably won't
have time for. So whatever we don't get to we'll
serve up as leftovers on tomorrow's podcast on Sunday when
we have the mail bag as well. But we'll begin
with this, so it's wonderful that you're chilling with us
on Thanksgiving weekend since this is the Saturday pot. It's
(03:37):
all about the life of Malar and Danny g Behind
the microphone tails from behind the microphone, giving you the
inside skinny on what makes us tick, not tick talk,
just makes us tick. And this being feast weekend, I
will start off. I'll go first here. So once upon
(03:59):
a time, a couple of days ago, at Thanksgiving twenty
twenty three, and me and the wife cooked up a massive,
massive amount of food. Now it was a small shin dig.
Normally in the past we've hosted Thanksgiving, and you know,
my wife's extended family, which all lives in the area,
would be here. But you know, the last couple of years,
(04:21):
your grandparents passed away and a number of the cousins
moved away, and so they were all hanging out in
a town in Utah. Her one of her her aunts
moved to Utah, and so they've got like this big
place out in the out in the sticks, and so
much of the other family went there. So we had
(04:42):
a very small turnout, but we did cook up a
ton of food. It was a small shined dig. Most
of the families spread out. My family's all over the place.
They go brother in Wisconsin, I got a brother in
New York. I got cousins all over the place. But
we did have a few cousins that are left in
the area. My sister in law with her kids, she
was there and we had all together, my younger cousins.
(05:04):
We had a pack of like five kids and a
few other people and now feeling very generous. Though feeling generous,
on Thanksgiving, we issued a Malard pardon. A Malard pardon
was issued. No turkeys were harmed at the Thanksgiving at
the Malar Mansion twenty twenty three. Instead, we focused on
(05:27):
Benny's brisket, and I sent some photos out on Friday,
so if you want to check out what that looked like.
But we made barbecue brisket, which it came out pretty good.
I mean probably could have cooked it even longer. We
cooked it for like fifteen hours. The thing was in
there forever, but I probably could even cooked it even longer,
because you got to cook the crap out of these
(05:49):
briskets to get them to taste tafoy decent, but they
can't came out all things considered pretty good. Made dozens
of cookies, had a ton of oatmeal raisin. That's because
the wife likes those, and then I like the chocolate
chip and thanks to Alf the alien opiner back in
the day. Thanks to Alf, the Alien of Pinter, he
(06:09):
sent a little hack. We talked about this on the
podcast this this TikTok video how to make perfect cookies
cookies every single time. So Ever since then, thanks to Alf,
my cookie game has got even better, even better cookie game,
because there's a little trick you can do after the
cookie comes right out of the oven if they sometimes
(06:29):
they get too flat during the cooking process and you
take like a metal you can take a cap to.
I mean there's coupleys you can do it. Trying to
think of what the actual thing is. I have like
a I bought on Amazon. There's these little metal rings
to like make biscuits. But you put them around the
(06:51):
cookie right out of the oven and you shake it
and it makes perfect cookies every time. It's awesome. So
thanks to Alf for that. I use that trick. And
we had everything. We had, you know, all the usual
apple pie, pumpkin pie thanks to Costco, mashed potatoes, mac
and cheese. My wife made delicious mac and cheese, had rolls, lasagna,
(07:12):
somebody brought lasagna. There was all kinds of stuff and
it was full gluttony. It was full gluttony on display
a good time I think had by all. And now
I'd made one mistake. I had fasted for a little
too long leading into Thanksgiving, because in my head I
was going to eat like back fifteen years ago when
(07:34):
I was like really going for it in life, and
I would just eat everything. So I thought my strategy
would be, Okay, I'm not going to eat for a while.
So I stopped eating on Monday, and I ate like
a meal Monday afternoon, which is when I normally eat.
If I eat, I eat normally in the late afternoon,
(07:54):
and because I sleep during the day, so I get
up and then I saw I'm not gonna eat Tuesday,
I don't eat it Wednesday. And then we had a
late Thanksgiving back on Thursday. So I ended up fasting
for seventy one hours. I almost made it a full
seventy two, but I had I had to stop at
(08:14):
seventy one, so I went seventy one hours. But the
problem is when you fast that long, at least for me,
and you eat a big meal, your body reacts to
that in a very odd way where you immediately have
to run to the powder room, as they say on HTTV,
and and then you have to drink like tons of
water because you start cramping and it's a whole it's
(08:36):
a hole to do. So I had that. I had
that problem. But other than that, it was all It
was all good. And we gave all the kids like
tons of candy. We just gave them endless. And I
don't even think they ate any brisket. I think all
they did was eat nothing but candy. I think that's
that's what they went for. But that was our our Thanksgiving.
That was our Thanksgiving in a nut show. We had
(08:58):
a great time. It was a lot of fun all that.
What was your favorite side to go with the brisket?
I love well, the mashed potatoes came out really good
in the in the mac and cheese, those two were
my That was my go to. So we had a
good good amount of that. Although I caught in there
a little late. I let everyone else eat first, so
(09:18):
like everything was going quick. Even though we made a
ton of food, everything was going quick. So but I
was not a VIP baby. I was definitely not. I
ate last I had cramps into the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, it was a fairly quiet Thanksgiving at the Garadelli household.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
A couple of days ago. I was busy.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Working, as I mentioned at the start for the Dan
Patrick Show, so we had it all planned out. We
could either go out to eat somewhere, which is like
forty five dollars a person usually with those fixed menus
that we talked about, yep. Or you could order a
head and get a pas package meal to go and
(10:01):
you go and pick it up and then bring it
home and reheat it. So that's what we decided to do,
and we ordered from lou Seals, which is a famous
barbecue joint in southern California.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I love lou Seals Good.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Famous for those sweet biscuits, those sugar yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yeah, the biscuits covered in sugar. Yeah, those are.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Yeah, in the apple honey butter.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Yeah yeah, yeah, you're making me hungry here.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
After work I do the post production on the Dan
Patrick Show. If I head to Woodland Hills to pick
that up, I get to the restaurant, the parking lot
is jam packed there because inside the restaurant it was
completely full. Go to the takeout area and I tell them, hey,
I'm here for the package free order. The girl's kind
(10:50):
of rude and she's like, well, you don't pick that
up here she lecturing you. She says, go across the
street two blocks up and then go into the abandoned
mall parking lot.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
I'm like that sounds good.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I was just like, it's like an adventure movie from
the nineteen eighties or something. What are we doing here?
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Get back into my car.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
And now I'm frustrated because you know, I had to
find parking and walk to the stupid restaurant and all that,
and they didn't tell us that we don't pick it
up from the restaurant where we ordered it from. So
now I'm driving around in circles trying to find what
she said was a truck, a cold truck she called it. Yeah,
(11:35):
I find the abandoned There is a mall in Woodland
Hills that now belongs to Stan Kronkey.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Yeah, that's where the RAMS are going to be, right
there's yeah, okay, all right, all right.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
So I'm like I'm now driving around on RAMS property.
The only thing I saw was it looked like some
Good Samaritans were passing out turkeys, because there was a
line of cars that had their trunks open, and I'm like, oh,
somebody's feeding the needy. It's like a like, maybe it's
(12:06):
the Rams or a famous football player that's passing out turkeys.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Like a photo op. They usually do that for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
The photo exactly, no signage, nothing. So I'm sitting there,
I'm typing in an address that's on the stupid email
from the restaurant, and I'm like, maybe we missed something.
Maybe they told us where to go and we're just
dumb and we didn't recognize that. So finally I look
over at the line of cars a little closer. I
(12:34):
see Alexis and Mercedes.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Benz really down on their luck.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
And it clicked when I saw a range Rover in
the line. Wait a second here, that's got to be
the line for Lucille's. And it was one of those
huge refrigerated trucks, trailer trucks that was parked there. I
get into the line and the girl comes over and
she says, what time was your Lucille's order. She's not
(13:01):
wearing Lucille's clothes either, by the way, ben So I
told her. I said, well, you guys could have at
least thrown Lucille's banner on top of the truck.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
You know.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I got the food, I brought it back we reheated it.
It turned out to be a decent meal. Okay, nothing
vip about it. It was quiet. I want to go
back to last weekend because we were in beautiful Palm Springs.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
That's right. Yeah, you took the baby swimming.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Right celebrating our one year wedding anniversary, and it was
going to be Coha's first time in a pool.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
He's wearing his sunglasses. He looks like a little pimp.
He's ready to go.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Come on, Pippin.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
You know about Palm Springs. They're famous on the way
there in the Coachella Valley, famous for those huge windmills yep,
that helped produce energy.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Whole valley of is endless as long as far as
you can see their windmills out there.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
We're at the pool. It's a nice eighty nine degrees.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
But the waiter came by and he was like, oh,
I'm sorry, we're gonna have to close your umbrella down,
and we're like, damn it. So now the sun has
hitting right on us and the baby. We couldn't take
the baby in the pool because it was too windy.
He looks at little CoA and he says, God, you
guys have an adorable baby.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
I won't say anything. He's like, you see that cabana
over there.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
These are those fancy cabanas that they rent out for
like three hundred four hundred bucks.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, they charge a ton of money for those, That's right.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
The dude, he's like, go ahead and go over to
that cabana and I'll serve you guys over there. Oh yes, yeah,
baby v I literally yeah, baby vip for the baby.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Coah's first complimentary cabana booo. And we laid there, took
naps and had drinks and snacks brought to us like
kings and queens for two three hours. CoA had his
bottle so he really did have bottle service.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Yeah, it was. It was awesome. Ben.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Now I know what it feels like to be a
parent who gets to leave work early because they have
something to do regarding their child. Always jealous of people
that had a leg up on us because they had
a kid.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah, that's the But it is the ultimate get out
of jail free card the kid. Right, you're you're set
up and you don't have to go to any parties.
You can blame it on the kid, you know, the
kid's sick. I got to stay home with the kid,
and you can. It's it's awesome because nobody can really
question it, Like you just it's the kid, you know,
and you're good, You're you're You're set up Danny for
(15:44):
the next couple of years, right, you're saying, and really
probably for until he's eighteen, so like that's a long
time you're going.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
I had a running joke at one of my radio
stations back in the day. The office manager left work
early at least twice a week and always blamed it
on his kids. Yeah, and I remember telling my morning
show co host at the time, damn it, I can't
wait till I have a kid so I could join
that club.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah, there was an episode I think it was a
Curb Your Enthusiasm years ago, and it was just about this.
It was about the kid thing. Just use the kid,
the ultimate excuse, the greatest excuse of all time, the kid.
I did it for the kid, and you can't nobody
can question it and all that. And sometimes you actually
do have to do stuff for the kid, but other
times you just don't want to go to do a
certain location or or whatever, and you're just like, I
got the kid, that's awesome. Yeah, you're living living large there.
(16:34):
And how busy was it? Because you know, it's kind
of weird time of the year because it was cool
in the la or people go out to Palm Springs
to get away. But I don't know if people assumed
it was gonna be that hot out there last weekend.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Seems like that resort is busy on the weekend and
kind of like a ghost town right now during the week.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Gotcha? Gotcha? All right, we have the backscratcher, and the
question is did we get in it's Thanksgiving week? Danny,
did we get zero, zero, won, three or four reviews?
And this is the Apple podcast page. Now we give
this disclaimer all the time, but we do the backscratcher
every Saturday pod and we give back. We will read
(17:14):
your comments from the Apple podcast page. Now, we don't
care whether you leave a comment or not. The people
that run the podcast department at iHeart, they're the ones
that care, the people in the corner office over there.
This is not some kind of Mickey Mouse operation. They
burst into flames if we don't have any reviews. So, Danny,
do we have zero, one, or three or four reviews
(17:36):
this week? On the backscratcher on the Apple podcast.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Page number one, number one.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Danny, you are wrong. We pitched us shutout this week.
We had none bupkus, zero zipo. Unfortunately we did not.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
It would be wonderful if we were pitchers for the dogs.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah, exactly, exactly, well, or I think it was more
like we were rookie Betts at home, you know, in
bat at bats we had zero hits in four at
bats or five at bats or whatever. But we would
love to love for you to help us out, Danny.
Make sure to put the description in the description on
this podcast. You can see how you can write a
review on the Apple podcast page. We don't think you're
(18:22):
able to do that unless you have an Apple product, right, Danny,
We don't think that's allowed. We're not sure, So check
that out write a review. My right hand was getting
a workout in order. It's time for It's time for
the phrase of the week.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
The phrase of the week.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
The phrase of the week this week is phoning it
in now. This comes from my friend Jerry in Baltimore.
He was requesting this as the phrase of the week
because I had the Gremlins attack earlier this week. Danny,
the gremlins attack the Malor mansion in the middle of
a wonderful radio show, ranting and raving, and all of
(19:05):
a sudden it goes away. The line drops, the broadcast
line drops, so we're scrambling and ended up having to
drive into the mothership, which is a long, painful drive,
but drove it to the mothership. Now, I'm told Danny
the company is going to make sure I have a
(19:26):
backup line in the future in case this happens again,
although I have not yet received said backup line. But
the line went down, so I had to go in
and as my friend Jerry says, I phoned it in.
I phoned it in. Now, where does the phrase phoning
it in comes from? It is the phrase of the
week here on the podcast, and so we'll start with
(19:47):
this the beginnings of the phrase. It's not that old
the phrase because the phone's not that old. Right, So again,
phoning it in does not come from the Bronze Age.
It does not come from medieval time. They didn't know
where the phone, what is a phone? So the roots
of phoning it in it can go back to the
world of actually journalism. There's two theories on this. The
(20:10):
main theory is the journalism theory. But there is one
absolutely opposite that from the theater. But we'll start with
the one phoning it in from journalism. And this goes
back less than one hundred years to the nineteen thirty,
so almost one hundred years ago. Nineteen thirties, so ninety
plus years ago. And the theory was in the newspaper business,
(20:32):
back when there were these things called newspapers, and they
really mattered. It was a big deal to be a newspaper.
The journalists were very busy and they were filing stories.
They were chasing the next big thing, right, the next
big story. They were working leads and all that, and
so they didn't always have time to actually do the
writing of the story, where they had to sit down
with a typewriter back in those days and write up
(20:54):
a story before computers. So what they would do instead
they would phone their editor and tell them over the
phone relay, hey, here's the story, here's how I want
it written, and then the editor actually had to write
the story based on the phone call. So the writer
phoned it in and literally phoning it in, telling the
(21:18):
person what to write the editor to put in the newspaper.
So phoning it in. That is one definition which I
think is the actual definition or the origin, the origin
of the phrase phoning it in. Now, there's another theory
that phoning it in actually comes from the acting and
theater world. They have their own spin spins, spin spin, Spin, Spin,
(21:41):
spin Spin, They have their own spin on this, and
it also goes back to the same time period. So
we're we're consistent that phoning it in the phrase originated
in the nineteen thirties, the early nineteen thirties. Now, whether
or not it was journalism, which I think because I
know that still goes on today. I have friends of
mine that are working in the newspaper business and they'll
have to phone in quotes and things like that, although
(22:03):
a lot of it's not done on the internet and
you can just send an email, but sometimes I don't
have time for that. But in the theater version, the
acting version of phone it in, goes back to the
nineteen thirties, and there was a joke. It was actually
a joke among people in the theater, the actors that
worked in the theater and all that, and it alluded
to having a role so small, so unimportant, that it
(22:30):
was possible to call on the phone rather than actually
show up to the theater and appear on stage in person.
That you could just phone it in. So anyway, either
one of those versions of work, I think the journalism
one's probably more accurate. But that is the phrase of
the week, phoning it in, which we never do, Danny,
(22:51):
we do not phone it in. A lot of people
accuse me of phoning it in, but I had an
actual broadcast line that went down and I was able
to set the Land Speed Time Space Team Speed record
or something like that. If I could speak, that would help.
But make great time, and I usually only drive seventy
nine miles an hour because I don't get tickets outside
of Minnesota. In California, they don't give tickets when you
(23:14):
go seventy nine miles an hour. But I did have
to go a little faster in an effort to make
it on time. So I was able to.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Now, were you live from your cell phone as you
were traveling?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
No, I didn't do that. And the reason I didn't
do it was because it sounded terrible because I did
originally call in on the cell phone. I was like,
you know, it's not really I wanted the quality. Eddie
was there, so I had Eddie. I don't even know
what any he talked about, but I I was gonna
call in, make it like a bit, and I was like,
I was so upset. I was like screaming in the
(23:46):
car the whole time.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
You're like, was Iowa Sam there?
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Iowa Sam? Let's see what's he? I think he was
there that day? Yeah, I think he was there. I
thank god.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Well everything was okay.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Then everything was fine? Yeah, exactly all right. I think
we'll get out on that. We'll save Pop goes the
culture to the Sunday podcast with the mail Bag. I
think that'll work out pretty well. It's Saturday, Danny. It's
the twenty fifth day of November. What's going on in
your world today? Anything special?
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Get to go to the park and get some sunshine.
Oh and tonight gonna watch Benny Versus the Penny on
the Lakers Channel.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Well, I don't know if you say like the Lakers,
it's really the Benny Versus the Penny Channel. And it
will air God bless lack of good programming on Spectrum
sportsnet so CaAl. It'll air at six am this morning.
I proper already aired three pm this afternoon. And eleven PM,
so it was a late night showing. So three showings
(24:49):
today and probably by the time most again here this
in southern California. And then on Sunday we have It's
airing again on NBC Sports Boston, NBC Sports Philly, Chicago,
Bay Area, California, all that and the other channels. And
then on Sunday we have our showing in New York
on Sports Net New York, the Mets channel that will
air at eleven thirty as our time slot. We have
(25:10):
our own time slot that has been very consistent. We
have been at eleven thirty on Sunday morning all NFL season,
so we're very grateful for that. I got nothing much
going on Danny this weekend here on Saturdays, kind of
keeping it chill, low key because we got to go
back to work on Sunday night, and we'll have another podcast.
(25:32):
Another pod will be up and running. We'll have that
for your fresh mailbag, and also because we didn't get
to it today, Pop goes to the culture. Have a
wonderful rest of your Saturday and we will talk to
you next time.
Speaker 4 (25:45):

Of radio a sense of urgency.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Would you say, there's no pause in the middle there,
there's no it's not disjointed like some things that we
do here. We might have to make that a staple.
We might have to right just one segment of I
don't know what what you're talking about
Kabooms.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
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 cutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
The clearing House of Hot takes break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
In the A A rewhere. Welcome into the podcast Dojo.
No days off, not even on a holiday weekend. Now,
we had the podcast on Friday and we're back again.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallor and Danny G Radio. Danny,
(00:50):
are you surviving the holiday weekend? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Early on this Saturday morning, cod is to my right.
It's been a really good Thanksgiving so far, although only
one of the football games was decent.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, well back back on Thanksgiving it was not. Yeah,
it was like there was only the early game, although
that was green Bay jumped out way ahead of the Lions.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
But yeah, oh I like that because Perfet was filling
in on the board when Covino and Rich and I
were doing the Dan Patrick Show on Thursday morning, was
labbing about the Lions, and he even got into it
a little bit with Nick Cope after the show was
over desecrating the Chicago Bears. He was talking crap about
(01:37):
the Packers and Nick Cope told him, you know what, Chris,
maybe your team needs to win something before you talk.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Smack.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Oh man, look at that Nick Kopien right in his
face there. Yeah. We got those Lions muscles though now
because they won a few games, but they go kaput
on Thanksgivings.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Those muscles didn't flex quite right on Turkey Day.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yeah. Well, I would like to thank this Thanksgiving that
we had the Jim Mersey that came out on that
story came out on Thanksgiving. They were like several good
stories on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Greg Popovich grabbing the mic.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah that was a good one too. I mean there's
some decent stuff, and I want to thank these guys
because Thanksgiving, you know, we still have to work, right
the radio station doesn't shut down and all that. And
I did the show leading into Thanksgiving, so it's nice.
And we've had big holidays. I remember, we've been NBA trades,
they've been free agent signings. I think years ago I
(02:32):
was doing a Thanksgiving show and Kurt Shilling signed with
the Red Sox. I want to think, I want to
say that happen on Thanksgiving. There have been NBA trades
that have happened on Thanksgiving. So we've had over the years,
we've had stuff. It's not like it's just completely shuts down.
It's not like the month of what June right, the
month of June and sports radio, which is generally after
(02:53):
the NBA Finals before football gets going, it is kind
of a waste land where you have to get creative,
really have to get creative to make the magic. But
Thanksgiving pretty good. So on this podcast, we've got parton
issued vip baby, backscratcher or do we have backscratcher phrase
(03:15):
of the week, and pop goes to the culture if
we have time for all that, which we probably won't
have time for. So whatever we don't get to we'll
serve up as leftovers on tomorrow's podcast on Sunday when
we have the mail bag as well. But we'll begin
with this, so it's wonderful that you're chilling with us
on Thanksgiving weekend since this is the Saturday pot. It's
(03:37):
all about the life of Malar and Danny g Behind
the microphone tails from behind the microphone, giving you the
inside skinny on what makes us tick, not tick talk,
just makes us tick. And this being feast weekend, I
will start off. I'll go first here. So once upon
(03:59):
a time, a couple of days ago, at Thanksgiving twenty
twenty three, and me and the wife cooked up a massive,
massive amount of food. Now it was a small shin dig.
Normally in the past we've hosted Thanksgiving, and you know,
my wife's extended family, which all lives in the area,
would be here. But you know, the last couple of years,
(04:21):
your grandparents passed away and a number of the cousins
moved away, and so they were all hanging out in
a town in Utah. Her one of her her aunts
moved to Utah, and so they've got like this big
place out in the out in the sticks, and so
much of the other family went there. So we had
(04:42):
a very small turnout, but we did cook up a
ton of food. It was a small shined dig. Most
of the families spread out. My family's all over the place.
They go brother in Wisconsin, I got a brother in
New York. I got cousins all over the place. But
we did have a few cousins that are left in
the area. My sister in law with her kids, she
was there and we had all together, my younger cousins.
(05:04):
We had a pack of like five kids and a
few other people and now feeling very generous. Though feeling generous,
on Thanksgiving, we issued a Malard pardon. A Malard pardon
was issued. No turkeys were harmed at the Thanksgiving at
the Malar Mansion twenty twenty three. Instead, we focused on
(05:27):
Benny's brisket, and I sent some photos out on Friday,
so if you want to check out what that looked like.
But we made barbecue brisket, which it came out pretty good.
I mean probably could have cooked it even longer. We
cooked it for like fifteen hours. The thing was in
there forever, but I probably could even cooked it even longer,
because you got to cook the crap out of these
(05:49):
briskets to get them to taste tafoy decent, but they
can't came out all things considered pretty good. Made dozens
of cookies, had a ton of oatmeal raisin. That's because
the wife likes those, and then I like the chocolate
chip and thanks to Alf the alien opiner back in
the day. Thanks to Alf, the Alien of Pinter, he
(06:09):
sent a little hack. We talked about this on the
podcast this this TikTok video how to make perfect cookies
cookies every single time. So Ever since then, thanks to Alf,
my cookie game has got even better, even better cookie game,
because there's a little trick you can do after the
cookie comes right out of the oven if they sometimes
(06:29):
they get too flat during the cooking process and you
take like a metal you can take a cap to.
I mean there's coupleys you can do it. Trying to
think of what the actual thing is. I have like
a I bought on Amazon. There's these little metal rings
to like make biscuits. But you put them around the
(06:51):
cookie right out of the oven and you shake it
and it makes perfect cookies every time. It's awesome. So
thanks to Alf for that. I use that trick. And
we had everything. We had, you know, all the usual
apple pie, pumpkin pie thanks to Costco, mashed potatoes, mac
and cheese. My wife made delicious mac and cheese, had rolls, lasagna,
(07:12):
somebody brought lasagna. There was all kinds of stuff and
it was full gluttony. It was full gluttony on display
a good time I think had by all. And now
I'd made one mistake. I had fasted for a little
too long leading into Thanksgiving, because in my head I
was going to eat like back fifteen years ago when
(07:34):
I was like really going for it in life, and
I would just eat everything. So I thought my strategy
would be, Okay, I'm not going to eat for a while.
So I stopped eating on Monday, and I ate like
a meal Monday afternoon, which is when I normally eat.
If I eat, I eat normally in the late afternoon,
(07:54):
and because I sleep during the day, so I get
up and then I saw I'm not gonna eat Tuesday,
I don't eat it Wednesday. And then we had a
late Thanksgiving back on Thursday. So I ended up fasting
for seventy one hours. I almost made it a full
seventy two, but I had I had to stop at
(08:14):
seventy one, so I went seventy one hours. But the
problem is when you fast that long, at least for me,
and you eat a big meal, your body reacts to
that in a very odd way where you immediately have
to run to the powder room, as they say on HTTV,
and and then you have to drink like tons of
water because you start cramping and it's a whole it's
(08:36):
a hole to do. So I had that. I had
that problem. But other than that, it was all It
was all good. And we gave all the kids like
tons of candy. We just gave them endless. And I
don't even think they ate any brisket. I think all
they did was eat nothing but candy. I think that's
that's what they went for. But that was our our Thanksgiving.
That was our Thanksgiving in a nut show. We had
(08:58):
a great time. It was a lot of fun all that.
What was your favorite side to go with the brisket?
I love well, the mashed potatoes came out really good
in the in the mac and cheese, those two were
my That was my go to. So we had a
good good amount of that. Although I caught in there
a little late. I let everyone else eat first, so
(09:18):
like everything was going quick. Even though we made a
ton of food, everything was going quick. So but I
was not a VIP baby. I was definitely not. I
ate last I had cramps into the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, it was a fairly quiet Thanksgiving at the Garadelli household.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
A couple of days ago. I was busy.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Working, as I mentioned at the start for the Dan
Patrick Show, so we had it all planned out. We
could either go out to eat somewhere, which is like
forty five dollars a person usually with those fixed menus
that we talked about, yep. Or you could order a
head and get a pas package meal to go and
(10:01):
you go and pick it up and then bring it
home and reheat it. So that's what we decided to do,
and we ordered from lou Seals, which is a famous
barbecue joint in southern California.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I love lou Seals Good.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Famous for those sweet biscuits, those sugar yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yeah, the biscuits covered in sugar. Yeah, those are.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Yeah, in the apple honey butter.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Yeah yeah, yeah, you're making me hungry here.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
After work I do the post production on the Dan
Patrick Show. If I head to Woodland Hills to pick
that up, I get to the restaurant, the parking lot
is jam packed there because inside the restaurant it was
completely full. Go to the takeout area and I tell them, hey,
I'm here for the package free order. The girl's kind
(10:50):
of rude and she's like, well, you don't pick that
up here she lecturing you. She says, go across the
street two blocks up and then go into the abandoned
mall parking lot.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
I'm like that sounds good.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I was just like, it's like an adventure movie from
the nineteen eighties or something. What are we doing here?
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Get back into my car.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
And now I'm frustrated because you know, I had to
find parking and walk to the stupid restaurant and all that,
and they didn't tell us that we don't pick it
up from the restaurant where we ordered it from. So
now I'm driving around in circles trying to find what
she said was a truck, a cold truck she called it. Yeah,
(11:35):
I find the abandoned There is a mall in Woodland
Hills that now belongs to Stan Kronkey.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Yeah, that's where the RAMS are going to be, right
there's yeah, okay, all right, all right.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
So I'm like I'm now driving around on RAMS property.
The only thing I saw was it looked like some
Good Samaritans were passing out turkeys, because there was a
line of cars that had their trunks open, and I'm like, oh,
somebody's feeding the needy. It's like a like, maybe it's
(12:06):
the Rams or a famous football player that's passing out turkeys.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Like a photo op. They usually do that for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
The photo exactly, no signage, nothing. So I'm sitting there,
I'm typing in an address that's on the stupid email
from the restaurant, and I'm like, maybe we missed something.
Maybe they told us where to go and we're just
dumb and we didn't recognize that. So finally I look
over at the line of cars a little closer. I
(12:34):
see Alexis and Mercedes.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Benz really down on their luck.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
And it clicked when I saw a range Rover in
the line. Wait a second here, that's got to be
the line for Lucille's. And it was one of those
huge refrigerated trucks, trailer trucks that was parked there. I
get into the line and the girl comes over and
she says, what time was your Lucille's order. She's not
(13:01):
wearing Lucille's clothes either, by the way, ben So I
told her. I said, well, you guys could have at
least thrown Lucille's banner on top of the truck.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
You know.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I got the food, I brought it back we reheated it.
It turned out to be a decent meal. Okay, nothing
vip about it. It was quiet. I want to go
back to last weekend because we were in beautiful Palm Springs.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
That's right. Yeah, you took the baby swimming.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Right celebrating our one year wedding anniversary, and it was
going to be Coha's first time in a pool.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
He's wearing his sunglasses. He looks like a little pimp.
He's ready to go.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Come on, Pippin.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
You know about Palm Springs. They're famous on the way
there in the Coachella Valley, famous for those huge windmills yep,
that helped produce energy.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Whole valley of is endless as long as far as
you can see their windmills out there.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
We're at the pool. It's a nice eighty nine degrees.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
But the waiter came by and he was like, oh,
I'm sorry, we're gonna have to close your umbrella down,
and we're like, damn it. So now the sun has
hitting right on us and the baby. We couldn't take
the baby in the pool because it was too windy.
He looks at little CoA and he says, God, you
guys have an adorable baby.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
I won't say anything. He's like, you see that cabana
over there.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
These are those fancy cabanas that they rent out for
like three hundred four hundred bucks.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, they charge a ton of money for those, That's right.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
The dude, he's like, go ahead and go over to
that cabana and I'll serve you guys over there. Oh yes, yeah,
baby v I literally yeah, baby vip for the baby.

kings and queens for two three hours. CoA had his
bottle so he really did have bottle service.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Yeah, it was. It was awesome. Ben.

parent who gets to leave work early because they have
something to do regarding their child. Always jealous of people

probably for until he's eighteen, so like that's a long
time you're going.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
I had a running joke at one of my radio
stations back in the day. The office manager left work
early at least twice a week and always blamed it
on his kids. Yeah, and I remember telling my morning
show co host at the time, damn it, I can't
wait till I have a kid so I could join
that club.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah, there was an episode I think it was a
Curb Your Enthusiasm years ago, and it was just about this.
It was about the kid thing. Just use the kid,
the ultimate excuse, the greatest excuse of all time, the kid.
I did it for the kid, and you can't nobody
can question it and all that. And sometimes you actually
do have to do stuff for the kid, but other
times you just don't want to go to do a
certain location or or whatever, and you're just like, I
got the kid, that's awesome. Yeah, you're living living large there.
(16:34):
And how busy was it? Because you know, it's kind
of weird time of the year because it was cool
in the la or people go out to Palm Springs
to get away. But I don't know if people assumed
it was gonna be that hot out there last weekend.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Seems like that resort is busy on the weekend and
kind of like a ghost town right now during the week.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Gotcha? Gotcha? All right, we have the backscratcher, and the
question is did we get in it's Thanksgiving week? Danny,
did we get zero, zero, won, three or four reviews?
And this is the Apple podcast page. Now we give
this disclaimer all the time, but we do the backscratcher
every Saturday pod and we give back. We will read
(17:14):
your comments from the Apple podcast page. Now, we don't
care whether you leave a comment or not. The people
that run the podcast department at iHeart, they're the ones
that care, the people in the corner office over there.
This is not some kind of Mickey Mouse operation. They
burst into flames if we don't have any reviews. So, Danny,
do we have zero, one, or three or four reviews
(17:36):
this week? On the backscratcher on the Apple podcast.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Page number one, number one.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Danny, you are wrong. We pitched us shutout this week.
We had none bupkus, zero zipo. Unfortunately we did not.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
It would be wonderful if we were pitchers for the dogs.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah, exactly, exactly, well, or I think it was more
like we were rookie Betts at home, you know, in
bat at bats we had zero hits in four at
bats or five at bats or whatever. But we would
love to love for you to help us out, Danny.
Make sure to put the description in the description on
this podcast. You can see how you can write a
review on the Apple podcast page. We don't think you're
(18:22):
able to do that unless you have an Apple product, right, Danny,
We don't think that's allowed. We're not sure, So check
that out write a review. My right hand was getting
a workout in order. It's time for It's time for
the phrase of the week.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
The phrase of the week.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
The phrase of the week this week is phoning it
in now. This comes from my friend Jerry in Baltimore.
He was requesting this as the phrase of the week
because I had the Gremlins attack earlier this week. Danny,
the gremlins attack the Malor mansion in the middle of
a wonderful radio show, ranting and raving, and all of
(19:05):
a sudden it goes away. The line drops, the broadcast
line drops, so we're scrambling and ended up having to
drive into the mothership, which is a long, painful drive,
but drove it to the mothership. Now, I'm told Danny
the company is going to make sure I have a
(19:26):
backup line in the future in case this happens again,
although I have not yet received said backup line. But
the line went down, so I had to go in
and as my friend Jerry says, I phoned it in.
I phoned it in. Now, where does the phrase phoning
it in comes from? It is the phrase of the
week here on the podcast, and so we'll start with
(19:47):
this the beginnings of the phrase. It's not that old
the phrase because the phone's not that old. Right, So again,
phoning it in does not come from the Bronze Age.
It does not come from medieval time. They didn't know
where the phone, what is a phone? So the roots
of phoning it in it can go back to the
world of actually journalism. There's two theories on this. The
(20:10):
main theory is the journalism theory. But there is one
absolutely opposite that from the theater. But we'll start with
the one phoning it in from journalism. And this goes
back less than one hundred years to the nineteen thirty,
so almost one hundred years ago. Nineteen thirties, so ninety
plus years ago. And the theory was in the newspaper business,
(20:32):
back when there were these things called newspapers, and they
really mattered. It was a big deal to be a newspaper.
The journalists were very busy and they were filing stories.
They were chasing the next big thing, right, the next
big story. They were working leads and all that, and
so they didn't always have time to actually do the
writing of the story, where they had to sit down
with a typewriter back in those days and write up
(20:54):
a story before computers. So what they would do instead
they would phone their editor and tell them over the
phone relay, hey, here's the story, here's how I want
it written, and then the editor actually had to write
the story based on the phone call. So the writer
phoned it in and literally phoning it in, telling the
(21:18):
person what to write the editor to put in the newspaper.
So phoning it in. That is one definition which I
think is the actual definition or the origin, the origin
of the phrase phoning it in. Now, there's another theory
that phoning it in actually comes from the acting and
theater world. They have their own spin spins, spin spin, Spin, Spin,
(21:41):
spin Spin, They have their own spin on this, and
it also goes back to the same time period. So
we're we're consistent that phoning it in the phrase originated
in the nineteen thirties, the early nineteen thirties. Now, whether
or not it was journalism, which I think because I
know that still goes on today. I have friends of
mine that are working in the newspaper business and they'll
have to phone in quotes and things like that, although
(22:03):
a lot of it's not done on the internet and
you can just send an email, but sometimes I don't
have time for that. But in the theater version, the
acting version of phone it in, goes back to the
nineteen thirties, and there was a joke. It was actually
a joke among people in the theater, the actors that
worked in the theater and all that, and it alluded
to having a role so small, so unimportant, that it
(22:30):
was possible to call on the phone rather than actually
show up to the theater and appear on stage in person.
That you could just phone it in. So anyway, either
one of those versions of work, I think the journalism
one's probably more accurate. But that is the phrase of
the week, phoning it in, which we never do, Danny,
(22:51):
we do not phone it in. A lot of people
accuse me of phoning it in, but I had an
actual broadcast line that went down and I was able
to set the Land Speed Time Space Team Speed record
or something like that. If I could speak, that would help.
But make great time, and I usually only drive seventy
nine miles an hour because I don't get tickets outside
of Minnesota. In California, they don't give tickets when you
(23:14):
go seventy nine miles an hour. But I did have
to go a little faster in an effort to make
it on time. So I was able to.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Now, were you live from your cell phone as you
were traveling?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
No, I didn't do that. And the reason I didn't
do it was because it sounded terrible because I did
originally call in on the cell phone. I was like,
you know, it's not really I wanted the quality. Eddie
was there, so I had Eddie. I don't even know
what any he talked about, but I I was gonna
call in, make it like a bit, and I was like,
I was so upset. I was like screaming in the
(23:46):
car the whole time.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
You're like, was Iowa Sam there?
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Iowa Sam? Let's see what's he? I think he was
there that day? Yeah, I think he was there. I
thank god.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Well everything was okay.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Then everything was fine? Yeah, exactly all right. I think
we'll get out on that. We'll save Pop goes the
culture to the Sunday podcast with the mail Bag. I
think that'll work out pretty well. It's Saturday, Danny. It's
the twenty fifth day of November. What's going on in
your world today? Anything special?
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Get to go to the park and get some sunshine.
Oh and tonight gonna watch Benny Versus the Penny on
the Lakers Channel.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Well, I don't know if you say like the Lakers,
it's really the Benny Versus the Penny Channel. And it
will air God bless lack of good programming on Spectrum
sportsnet so CaAl. It'll air at six am this morning.
I proper already aired three pm this afternoon. And eleven PM,
so it was a late night showing. So three showings
(24:49):
today and probably by the time most again here this
in southern California. And then on Sunday we have It's
airing again on NBC Sports Boston, NBC Sports Philly, Chicago,
Bay Area, California, all that and the other channels. And
then on Sunday we have our showing in New York
on Sports Net New York, the Mets channel that will
air at eleven thirty as our time slot. We have
(25:10):
our own time slot that has been very consistent. We
have been at eleven thirty on Sunday morning all NFL season,
so we're very grateful for that. I got nothing much
going on Danny this weekend here on Saturdays, kind of
keeping it chill, low key because we got to go
back to work on Sunday night, and we'll have another podcast.
(25:32):
Another pod will be up and running. We'll have that
for your fresh mailbag, and also because we didn't get
to it today, Pop goes to the culture. Have a
wonderful rest of your Saturday and we will talk to
you next time.
