Kubbooms.
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 sol 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):
It's a clearinghouse of hot takes. Break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
In the air. Ever ringwere the Fifth Hour with Me,
Big Ben and Danny g Radio. And a happy Saturday
to you as we are hanging out with you here
after two NFL games have been played, and we've got
a full slate of NFL activity tomorrow. Yet college football
(00:49):
today here on the seventh day of September. Danny and
I actually did enjoy college football last weekend. We don't
talk about it on the Overnight show very much because
it's all about the NFL, but I did. I'd find
myself fully immersed last Saturday and Sunday and even Monday
with college football. I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, I've actually watched two college football games to match
the two NFL games I now have under my belt.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, I watched last weekend, Clemson, Georgia saw the second
half annihilation of the once proud Clemson Tigers. Sunday Night
sc and LSU in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I saw that one.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Vegas Baby, and then on Monday they had the standalone
game on Monday night the holiday that was Boston College
taking down the once proud seminals of Florida State. So
those were the three games, and there were a few others.
I flipped around. Of course, you should not watch those
games on illegal streams. You should not do that. So
I don't know how I watched them, but I watched
(01:55):
them somehow and did enjoy the college experience. Did not
bet on any of those games. People have emailed me.
So you only watch games you bet on, you're not
really a sports fan. I didn't bet on any of
those games, and I tuned in, I was watching, I
was enjoying myself, had a good time and obviously excited
(02:17):
about the NFL. What a finish we had that game
back on Thursday with the We talked about it yesterday
on the podcast The Chiefs. I know, as a Raider fan,
you were pulling for the Ravens to have both feet
inbounds there. Lively the tight end and they get would
help the Raiders out, but did not happen, and it
was great. It was a great start. You always want
to win that first bet of the weekend. And even
(02:39):
though we don't on Benny Versus the Penny, we don't
pick the Thursday game. Just not something that we do
because the show airs on Friday and Saturday, so what's
the point of doing the Thursday game. We do pick
it off the air for record keeping purposes. And I
had the Chiefs. If the Ravens had scored the touchdown,
they were going to go for two. I would have
(02:59):
lost either way. I had the Chiefs minus three, and
if the Ravens score the touchdown, they're down by a point.
Our ball is going to go for two. So if
they don't get the two point conversion, I lose the
bet and the Ravens cover. And if they get the
two point conversion they win the game out right, I
lose that way. So I would have lost either way.
(03:20):
So I won my first bet of the twenty twenty
four NFL season because of a toe day. It was
a toe job and twinkle toes there for the Ravens,
so I was happy about that. On this podcast, though
we have all dressed up for no reason. Do it yourself,
the beach parlay all day, get some international flavor. We
(03:45):
have some other things to take care of as well,
included in the idiom of the week. But let's start
with this. Over the years I've done this podcast with
the gag On and Danny g How many years have
been on the podcast now? A couple of years, right,
you've been with me a couple of.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Years now, been three years now, it's been three years. Yeah,
it'll be three It'll be three years this Christmas.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Oh man, that's why. So I probably know this podcast
like five years now, maybe longer.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Wow, time is zooming by you.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Old man.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Over the course of the the evolution of the Fifth
Hour podcast as your weekend audio buddy, your little companion
while you're on the treadmill or doing the honeydew List
or whatever you might be doing on the weekends, and
Saturday is a big honeydew thing, honeyde list, And we
(04:39):
at one point were almost completely our playbook was let's
get people on the podcast and let's just interview people
and we'll go that direction. So we did that for
a long time, and that was fine. That was great,
and it became a bit of a hassle. Became a
(05:01):
bit of a hassle. Then we determined that it didn't
really help the downloads most of the time. It didn't
improve the situation at all. And so we've evolved to
what we do now. We're you know, Friday. We just
tell stories and we do different bits. We get scientifical,
or we'll do a foodie segment, things like that. Yesterday
(05:23):
it wasn't a foodie segment. But on the Friday podcast,
I stumbled on and I'd heard this years ago and
I'd forgotten about it. The birthplace of the cheeseburger, which
was in Pasadena. The cheeseburger came from Pasadena. It's one
hundredth anniversary of the cheeseburger on a menu and it
was in nineteen twenty four at a diner in Pasadena
(05:47):
on Colorado Boulevard, which back then was called Root sixty six.
So it's like stuff like that, like just like interesting
random stuff. But this past week I got an email
from a publicist, and the publicist these people email me
on a semi regular basis and they're like, hey, we
know you have a platform. We'd like you to interview
(06:10):
ABC or one, two, three, And then I said, I
don't know about that. And then they say, well what about X,
Y and Z. And so we go back and forth,
and most of the time the people that they pitch
in their little elevator pitch, I wouldn't even want my
enemy to talk to. You know, these are these are
not exciting people.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Yeah, it's not like that lady who was an expert
on the hiccups.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, now that was big. That was it. So I
finally saw a name that I recognized. There was someone
that I've often quoted on the radio show who's like
a Hall of Famer in the NFL. Okay, fine, all right,
I'll take the bait.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
And it's the guys. He pitches this stuff to me
every week. He wants me to interview and promote this
book this guy wrote. And I'm like, all right, I'll
do it. So we go back and forth. This is
before the holiday weekend. We're going over dates. He's like, well,
the guy's available, there's a certain windows he's.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Going to do interviews.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
And he gives me all these dates. Right, I said, fine,
I said, you know, I do the overnight show. So
the guy's on the East Coast. He's still working for
an NFL team, and so I was like, all right, well,
here's my window. I can do it that day at
that time. And it's a big hassle, but I'll do it.
You know, let's let's have some fun. He says, no problem,
(07:28):
So we forget I forget about it. I put it
on my little counter thing on my phone and that's it.
And then it's game time. It's the day of the interview.
And I changed my entire schedule. I a very regimented
schedule these days because of the TV show and the
(07:49):
different things, and every day is there's a lot of stuff.
There's a lot of stuff going on every day.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yeah. Yeah, And that was another reason why it was
hard to continually do interviews, because they had to fit
into a certain specific window for you.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yes, and many of these interviews are with East Coast
people who want to do them at a time where
I am sleeping, Yes, the bulk of East Coast time.
So whatever, fine, but I made sure to move my
schedule around. I was like, okay, I agreed to do this.
He pitched it. I agreed to it. I will follow
the code of the West, when you say you're going
(08:24):
to do something, you do it right. I'm a big
believer in that. People say, well, keep bringing that up
out a bit, but that's how I model my life.
You can model your life however you want, but for me,
that works, and so that's what I follow. The code
of the West. You take pride in your work. You
finish what you start, and when you say you're going
(08:46):
to do something, you do it right. Your name and
put your name on and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
And so you're just like a contractor in construction. Like
the guy who's been working on our balcony. He said
he was going to come here to replace some wheels
on our screen door, and that was four weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Well, the problem you have there is the person that
you're dealing with is on contractor time, which is a
different time zone, and no one can figure out what
exactly contractor time meets.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Why are they the only job who gets away with that?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, because nobody else wants to do it right. If
you want to find a contractor, just go down to
home depot at like, you know, one o'clock in the
afternoon on a Wednesday, they'll all be hanging out.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I'm a doctor.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Make a long story even longer. Fine, I changed my
schedule around. I go into the studio, I set everything up,
I am ready to go. I have to prepare for
the interview. So I have some chicken scratch that I
wrote down that I want to ask about this, that
and the other thing. I shouldn't want to ask about
this quote that I use.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
All the time.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
And we're doing the interview on a zoom leak, but
I have to record everything, you know, through the have
to set up the mic and all that whatever. It
doesn't take that long. But the main problem was I
changed my sleep schedule and I didn't go to the
gym and this all this other stuff. So I'm in
there and send the link and the window. Two minutes
(10:19):
before the window is supposed to start, I get an
email and it's the PR person that pitched the interview.
And now he didn't cancel. He didn't cancel. He said, hey,
can we move the interview thirty five or forty minutes
from now? And I was like, well, I really don't
(10:39):
want to do it thirty five or forty minutes now.
But I'm already here and I'm up, and okay, you know,
why not I'll do it, I wrote back. I said, well,
you know, I don't really want to do it, but
I'm here, and I sure, why not. I'll accommodate the person,
even though again I kept my end of the deal.
I made an agreement. Your word is the most important thing,
(11:00):
and so I shut up. So I'm sitting there twiddling
my thumbs, right, and I don't even know how long
it was, It was a bit of time. I get
a second email from the publicist. What do you think
this one? Was?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Dan? What do you think this one? Can we push
it back one more time?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
No?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
This was, Hey, my guys really tired today. He's not
going to be able to do the interview with you.
I apologize and then that's it. No rescheduled to another day,
none of that. It's just f you, you blow, I
(11:45):
don't value you. Go away is essentially what the email was. Wow,
apology the end. And this is so No. I'm not
gonna even say the person's name because I don't want
to give them the publicity of knowing who they are.
But it's a person who is very tied to a
Hall of fame quarter actually has worked with many Hall
(12:07):
of fame quarterbacks and has a very famous quote which
I have used on a semi regular basis. I'm sure
Alf and some of these guys can figure out who
it is. A person's worked in the NFL going back,
I think to the seventies, so you know someone that's
certainly tiy the But just I have no use for that.
(12:30):
And I know this, This PR person is going to
be emailing me again next week saying, Hey, I got
Joe Blow who wants to talk about schmucks? Would you
like to tell you? No, I'm good. And it's like
I always say about these podcasts and radio shows, Danny,
and like, the most important thing we have is our time.
(12:51):
You can't get more of it, you can't buy it.
You know it's gone. It's gone. You don't know how
much you have and all that stuff. And when you
take that almost valuable, come on wasting my time. And
when you agree to do it, that's the thing, Like,
don't agree to do it, fine, I don't. I can
handle that. But if I futz around, I get up,
I change my schedule, go in the studio, and then
(13:13):
you don't have the courtesy to live up to your
end of the bargain because you're tired.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Now take the producer hat and put it on your
head for a moment. Imagine setting this all up for
a host and then having those issues with emails and
cancelations and rescheduling and pissing off the host, because I've
had to deal with that in the past, and that's
a big pain in the ass.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Hey, I pissed myself off, Danny.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I bet you did.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Like, why do I agree to that? You know? I
was like, what the hell? We have a good rhythm
here with the podcast. The downloads are great, people love it. Right,
We'll see how this goes during football season. The mail
bag tomorrow is obviously going to be important to make
sure the numbers are up on the mail bag. But
the whole thing just left a bad taste mouth and
I was just annoyed. It was like, and I don't
(14:03):
need to I don't need this. I'm helping you out.
You got some crappy book that I'm promoting, and this
is what you do.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
And I don't even think, uh we should I say
his name? I don't know. I don't think Brian Billick's
book is going to be that great.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Well, we finally at least got him on it. Took
us two years, but he finally got him on. But yeah, yeah,
that was that was another one. Well, we just had
to get him on because we it was so annoying
with him. It was so annoying, and uh, it's really
one of those things. It's you know, it's a di
I y right, it's do it yourself situation. You end
up doing it yourself. It's just better to do the
(14:39):
podcast yourself sometimes, right, a little do it yourself situation.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Last weekend, I had to run to Target to get
some baby formula. When big ass baby cod gets off
the stupid goat milk formula, I am going to do
some backflips, like I just scored in the end zone.
Every time I go there, that canister is five dollars. Now,
it's it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
And how often do you have to go through these things?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Every two weeks?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Okay, all right, at least it lasts a little while,
but that's not that long.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
And there's some weeks where he drinks more bottles maybe
a week.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
What's magical about this that he has to drink it? Like,
what's the magical?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I think a lot of it's comfort, because when you're
trying to wean a kid off the bottle, it's hard,
you know, because that's that's like his go to for
comfort when he's sitting in your arm on the on
the recliner, and right before he takes a nap, he
wants his baba daddy, and there's nutrients in it too.
I mean, you're supposed to be given these things to
(15:40):
the maybe up until they're one. He's one now, so
we're trying to wean them off this, but I don't
know when it's gonna.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Be ah wow, wow wow.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
We always check the target website to make sure they
have the formula that he uses. It said they had
seven in stock. Okay, good. So I get there, shelf
is empty. Nothing. I walk around this stupid store for
ten minutes to find one employee and she begrudgingly helped me,
gets on her walkie talkie and says, guests needs help
(16:14):
in the baby formula aisle. Hurry back over to that
aisle and I stand there for a good solid ten minutes.
Not one employee shows up.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, crickets, you're swidling your thumbs and you're waiting, And
did you walk out or did you stay?
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I said, f this place. I walked out with two
blazing middle fingers. So that was the start of a
great week of customer surface unless it wasn't it is.
Now fast forward to the opening of NFL season Thursday night,
we do the Cavino and Rich Show. We have a
great time talking a lot of football and having fun
(16:55):
on the air. And then when the show's over, we
got an hour before the game kicks off between the
Ravens and the Chiefs. I I tell it on their
podcast and walk outside to the scorching one hundred and
sixteen degree heat across the street to the galleria and
we go to Buffalo Wild Wings and of course there
was that little bit of the weather delay and everything. Yeah,
(17:18):
gave us time to put our order in though. Right,
So we're sitting there and we're waiting. We're waiting, and
we're looking. They're way understaffed at this Buffalo Wild Wings.
There's probably three employees working.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Wonderful.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Finally, Rich Davis stops one of the girls, one of
the three people working, and he said, hey, yeah, and
he said, not to be rude, but we've been sitting
here for a long time. What's the deal? Can we order?
And she said, yeah, let me get the guy who's
in charge of your section, and we're like, okay, so
we're waiting. We're waiting. I'm like, man, what is this?
(17:53):
Am I waiting for baby formula? Here? Finally the dude
comes over Ben. Let's just say he doesn't seem like
he's impressed with all the football fans there. He's got
a pissy attitude. And he tells Rich, you know what
you can order from right here, points to the center
of the table and it's one of those stupid barcodes.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Oh yeah, they're very popular during the COVID time.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Yes, yeah, that'll be quicker, and he walks away rudely wonderful,
all right. Rich takes his cell phone scans it, opens
up the menu, pressed selecting the wings, but then he
gets to the alcohol because he wants an alcoholic beverage,
and it has him trying to piece meal together his
(18:39):
moscow mule. He can't figure out how to make the
drink the way he wants to, and he says, what
the fuck? Am I a digital bartender? He gets up
out of his chair and he goes and he finds
the waiter. The guy finally comes back over to us.
He takes out his pad in his pen, and he's pissed.
He's pissed like he does not want to take our order,
(19:01):
like he's doing some kind of huge favor.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
You're in the danger zone at this point, because this
is going to lead to some kind of foreign objects
in your meal.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
I'm at this point, we're not even thinking about that.
We're thinking, man, we're going to have to find a
new spot to come watch football after our radio show
because that's.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
So convenient, man, I mean, and have that direct line
to the football guys. Remember that commercial back in the day.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
That's right, Well, we used to the one option. The
other option we used to have was right across the
street from our studios. Yeah, public school, right, Yeah, and
have you seen what happened to that place?
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I see the sign's still up, but they're not around.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
There's one other sign. It's a big one. It says
four lease.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Yeah, there's nothing. I'm mean in Ventura Boulevard. There's a
bunch of restaurants, but it's a pain in the ass
because of parking in the traffic to go anywhere quickly.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
It took another half hour for the food to come out.
So now the game is starting. The second quarter. We
still don't have anything in front of us except water.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
You could hit the cheesecake factory, which is there, but
that's not a really good bar setup.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
For Yeah, it's like a little it's like one of
those old school little bar TVs.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yeah, they have good appetizers, but it's not to watch
the game. You might as well just watch on your phone.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah, we left. We just got a couple quarters of wings.
We still had great conversation and fun as a radio
show hanging out there, but we bailed at halftime and
had way better service in our own kitchens and back
on our TV screens in the living room for what
turned out to be a pretty exciting second half of
that football game.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Oh yeah, you know it was. The opener was great.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Did COVID just officially slam the door on ever really
truly getting good customer service ever? Again?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Yeah, it certainly seems like it. And it's not like
that you're paying more, certainly here in California, you're paying more,
much more for food, and yet you're not even getting
like the normal. And it's when you were telling me
the Target story about the customer service there, I thought
you were going to tell me, Hey, I got the product,
and then I couldn't check out because there was a
line fifty people deep at the checkout thing and the
(21:16):
self checkout was closed. I've seen at Walmart, oh yeah,
because everyone kept stealing all these animals kept stealing stuff
from the stores at the self checkout, so they put
the kebash on that they limit how much you can do,
and then they don't hire enough people to work the
checkout stand, so there's these massive lines and people end
up leaving shopping carts full of stuff because they don't
want to spend an hour forty five minutes in line
(21:39):
waiting for someone to come over.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
You're exactly right. At our Target, there's always a huge
line for the couple of open do it yourself kiosks,
and then the couple of checkers that they do have working.
Those people have huge filled carts waiting their turn to
have a real human and help them, and that line
is big. So as I walked out with my birds blazing,
(22:05):
I noticed both lines were really long, so I definitely
avoided that and I just I went to Whole Foods
and got what I needed, you know, and Target can
kiss my ass. Now, I don't think I'm gonna go
back there for a while.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Yeah, It's it's like we say in radio, it's hard
to get people to listen, and then when you get them,
you don't want to lose them, right, you want to
keep the audience that you have. Well, if you're in
a realtail store, it's like if your target, don't you,
I know they're not trying to suck, But if somebody
like you gets or I get turned off by the
customer service, I'm not going to go back. I might
(22:39):
never go back.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
God bless truly the paper boys, security guards and threat.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Drivers pressing off. We had the Beach Daily double big
heat wave, as you referenced here in this podcast, Danny,
in southern California temperatures.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Did you feel like you were staying in a furnace?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
It was brutal man I even doing the overnight show,
I pulled up it was like ninety one degrees late
at night in the Oaks in Sherman Oaks. It was nuts.
And have been doing stuff during the day going around
it's ridiculous. But so we had this big heat wave.
It's still going on this weekend. It's not going to
end till next week. So the other day my wife's like, hey,
(23:22):
let's she was throwing a party, big party there, beach party.
Not for me, not for me. She planned the whole
thing out. She got up at nine am on the
weekend something that is against my religion and there's no
way I'm going to do that. So she goes out
to the beach to set everything up. She had me
(23:42):
work like Femi from Minnesota, the uber eat driver. She's like,
all right, when you get up, I want you to
get some food come down to the beach. And I'm like,
all right, I could do that, you know why not?
So I went to the Costco. I ordered some pies
at costcar four pies, sot her and moved. Get the pies.
I head to the beach. So I get down the
(24:03):
beach and I'm not surprised by this because it's a
heat wave. So I turn where I need to go
to the beach and I didn't realize it at the time,
but I was about to hit the beach daily double.
The first part of it was gridlock, absolute gridlock, bumper
to bumper to bumper, which is one of the reasons
I don't go to the beach as much as I had.
(24:24):
For a couple of years. I went to the beach
a lot, but it's just I don't want to deal
with im typical. Oh, I don't want to have anything
to do with it.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
So I go down there.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I'm like, well, I have the pies, I have to
go there. So I had this gridlock. I get to
the beach parking lot where I'm supposed to drop off,
you know, drop off the pies and hang out and
be social and all that. So the parking lot is jam,
but not just jam. It's now closed. No new cars
are allowed, can't park there. So this was the first
(24:56):
leg of the situation. I got these pies, I got
a you know, I'm not gonna eat four pizzas. I
don't know. He's not even for me. I'm fasting. So
there's a security beach security guy, not a cop, not
not formal security. I don't even know what the guy's
title was. But he's standing out there futsing around. And
(25:20):
so there's a line of cars and everyone stopped. They
won't let anyone in the parking lot. Now, this is
on the top of a hill. The parking for the
beach is down the hill, so they close the way
to get down there. It's crazy. So finally I get
up to the guy and window goes down. He's like, hey,
(25:41):
I can't I can't let you in. I said, well,
it's just a I got the pies. You know, why
don't I just drop him off and then I'll leave
Because there's no parking, there's a drop off spot. So
he says, hold on a second, and then the second
leg of the parlay, the dude rabs his rapid radio
(26:02):
to communicate down to the parking lot down the hill
to let them know that I was coming down there
to drop off the pies to not allow me to park. Right.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
It really was a rapid radio.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
It was a rapid radio, and that's I smiled. I
was like, I you know many times I've read that
rapid radio commercial on the shoah for business owners exactly.
And by the way, this is not a paid commercial.
No one told me to say this. I just observed
this out in the wild, you know. I was really
(26:35):
cool to see. And that's a part right near the ocean.
The cell reception is terrible, so it makes sense they
would have rapid radios because I can't even use my
phone at that beach. There's no cell reception for what
they shut it off. I don't know what they do.
So the security dude, he wouldn't let me park. But
(26:56):
I went home and watched college football, cranked up the
air conditioning and I had to find I watched them
baseball and I was fine. I was like, I was
all right. So that was my my beach parlay all
day daily, you know, double whatever it was.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
But we'll have you were like an Uber eats driver.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah pretty much. Yeah, that was about it. I'm going
to push back the international Man of Mystery and even
the foody Well, I don't think we're doing footy fun
this week. How about I'll do the Idium of the
Week tomorrow? Does that makes sense? I think we're good
for today. All right, So I'll go a little tell.
I'll try to remember that international Amoan of Mystery. If
I remember, great, If not, you'll can email me and
say you moron, what's wrong with you? And I did
(27:36):
have an Idiom of the week, and we've got the
mail bag. Anything you want to promote Danny on a Saturday.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
No, this is a day of producing this fine podcast
and then watching some college football.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
College football all day, Lolly and I will be watching
Benny Versus the Penny.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Oh, I watched it last week?
Speaker 1 (27:59):
All right?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Was it? I like the love you gave to Gardner Minshew.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yeah I did. I smooched all over Gardner Mitshew, I
did for sure. And your Raiders in town tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Yes, they're home away from home. According to vivid Seats,
sixty four percent Raider fans.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Okay, that is tomorrow. We'll have a mail bag and
the other stories we didn't get to today. Have a
wonderful rest of your Saturday. Remember you got Benny Versus
the Penny today all day today and then tomorrow until
one o'clock Eastern and then that's it. They're going to
kill the show for the week. So if you want
to watch it, you got to act or you're losing it.
And we will talk to you next time.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Austa Pasta my folation
Kubbooms.
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 sol 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):
It's a clearinghouse of hot takes. Break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
In the air. Ever ringwere the Fifth Hour with Me,
Big Ben and Danny g Radio. And a happy Saturday
to you as we are hanging out with you here
after two NFL games have been played, and we've got
a full slate of NFL activity tomorrow. Yet college football
(00:49):
today here on the seventh day of September. Danny and
I actually did enjoy college football last weekend. We don't
talk about it on the Overnight show very much because
it's all about the NFL, but I did. I'd find
myself fully immersed last Saturday and Sunday and even Monday
with college football. I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, I've actually watched two college football games to match
the two NFL games I now have under my belt.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, I watched last weekend, Clemson, Georgia saw the second
half annihilation of the once proud Clemson Tigers. Sunday Night
sc and LSU in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I saw that one.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Vegas Baby, and then on Monday they had the standalone
game on Monday night the holiday that was Boston College
taking down the once proud seminals of Florida State. So
those were the three games, and there were a few others.
I flipped around. Of course, you should not watch those
games on illegal streams. You should not do that. So
I don't know how I watched them, but I watched
(01:55):
them somehow and did enjoy the college experience. Did not
bet on any of those games. People have emailed me.
So you only watch games you bet on, you're not
really a sports fan. I didn't bet on any of
those games, and I tuned in, I was watching, I
was enjoying myself, had a good time and obviously excited
(02:17):
about the NFL. What a finish we had that game
back on Thursday with the We talked about it yesterday
on the podcast The Chiefs. I know, as a Raider fan,
you were pulling for the Ravens to have both feet
inbounds there. Lively the tight end and they get would
help the Raiders out, but did not happen, and it
was great. It was a great start. You always want
to win that first bet of the weekend. And even
(02:39):
though we don't on Benny Versus the Penny, we don't
pick the Thursday game. Just not something that we do
because the show airs on Friday and Saturday, so what's
the point of doing the Thursday game. We do pick
it off the air for record keeping purposes. And I
had the Chiefs. If the Ravens had scored the touchdown,
they were going to go for two. I would have
(02:59):
lost either way. I had the Chiefs minus three, and
if the Ravens score the touchdown, they're down by a point.
Our ball is going to go for two. So if
they don't get the two point conversion, I lose the
bet and the Ravens cover. And if they get the
two point conversion they win the game out right, I
lose that way. So I would have lost either way.
(03:20):
So I won my first bet of the twenty twenty
four NFL season because of a toe day. It was
a toe job and twinkle toes there for the Ravens,
so I was happy about that. On this podcast, though
we have all dressed up for no reason. Do it yourself,
the beach parlay all day, get some international flavor. We
(03:45):
have some other things to take care of as well,
included in the idiom of the week. But let's start
with this. Over the years I've done this podcast with
the gag On and Danny g How many years have
been on the podcast now? A couple of years, right,
you've been with me a couple of.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Years now, been three years now, it's been three years. Yeah,
it'll be three It'll be three years this Christmas.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Oh man, that's why. So I probably know this podcast
like five years now, maybe longer.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Wow, time is zooming by you.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Old man.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Over the course of the the evolution of the Fifth
Hour podcast as your weekend audio buddy, your little companion
while you're on the treadmill or doing the honeydew List
or whatever you might be doing on the weekends, and
Saturday is a big honeydew thing, honeyde list, And we
(04:39):
at one point were almost completely our playbook was let's
get people on the podcast and let's just interview people
and we'll go that direction. So we did that for
a long time, and that was fine. That was great,
and it became a bit of a hassle. Became a
(05:01):
bit of a hassle. Then we determined that it didn't
really help the downloads most of the time. It didn't
improve the situation at all. And so we've evolved to
what we do now. We're you know, Friday. We just
tell stories and we do different bits. We get scientifical,
or we'll do a foodie segment, things like that. Yesterday
(05:23):
it wasn't a foodie segment. But on the Friday podcast,
I stumbled on and I'd heard this years ago and
I'd forgotten about it. The birthplace of the cheeseburger, which
was in Pasadena. The cheeseburger came from Pasadena. It's one
hundredth anniversary of the cheeseburger on a menu and it
was in nineteen twenty four at a diner in Pasadena
(05:47):
on Colorado Boulevard, which back then was called Root sixty six.
So it's like stuff like that, like just like interesting
random stuff. But this past week I got an email
from a publicist, and the publicist these people email me
on a semi regular basis and they're like, hey, we
know you have a platform. We'd like you to interview
(06:10):
ABC or one, two, three, And then I said, I
don't know about that. And then they say, well what about X,
Y and Z. And so we go back and forth,
and most of the time the people that they pitch
in their little elevator pitch, I wouldn't even want my
enemy to talk to. You know, these are these are
not exciting people.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Yeah, it's not like that lady who was an expert
on the hiccups.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, now that was big. That was it. So I
finally saw a name that I recognized. There was someone
that I've often quoted on the radio show who's like
a Hall of Famer in the NFL. Okay, fine, all right,
I'll take the bait.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
And it's the guys. He pitches this stuff to me
every week. He wants me to interview and promote this
book this guy wrote. And I'm like, all right, I'll
do it. So we go back and forth. This is
before the holiday weekend. We're going over dates. He's like, well,
the guy's available, there's a certain windows he's.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Going to do interviews.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
And he gives me all these dates. Right, I said, fine,
I said, you know, I do the overnight show. So
the guy's on the East Coast. He's still working for
an NFL team, and so I was like, all right, well,
here's my window. I can do it that day at
that time. And it's a big hassle, but I'll do it.
You know, let's let's have some fun. He says, no problem,
(07:28):
So we forget I forget about it. I put it
on my little counter thing on my phone and that's it.
And then it's game time. It's the day of the interview.
And I changed my entire schedule. I a very regimented
schedule these days because of the TV show and the
(07:49):
different things, and every day is there's a lot of stuff.
There's a lot of stuff going on every day.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yeah. Yeah, And that was another reason why it was
hard to continually do interviews, because they had to fit
into a certain specific window for you.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yes, and many of these interviews are with East Coast
people who want to do them at a time where
I am sleeping, Yes, the bulk of East Coast time.
So whatever, fine, but I made sure to move my
schedule around. I was like, okay, I agreed to do this.
He pitched it. I agreed to it. I will follow
the code of the West, when you say you're going
(08:24):
to do something, you do it right. I'm a big
believer in that. People say, well, keep bringing that up
out a bit, but that's how I model my life.
You can model your life however you want, but for me,
that works, and so that's what I follow. The code
of the West. You take pride in your work. You
finish what you start, and when you say you're going
(08:46):
to do something, you do it right. Your name and
put your name on and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
And so you're just like a contractor in construction. Like
the guy who's been working on our balcony. He said
he was going to come here to replace some wheels
on our screen door, and that was four weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Well, the problem you have there is the person that
you're dealing with is on contractor time, which is a
different time zone, and no one can figure out what
exactly contractor time meets.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Why are they the only job who gets away with that?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, because nobody else wants to do it right. If
you want to find a contractor, just go down to
home depot at like, you know, one o'clock in the
afternoon on a Wednesday, they'll all be hanging out.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I'm a doctor.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Make a long story even longer. Fine, I changed my
schedule around. I go into the studio, I set everything up,
I am ready to go. I have to prepare for
the interview. So I have some chicken scratch that I
wrote down that I want to ask about this, that
and the other thing. I shouldn't want to ask about
this quote that I use.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
All the time.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
And we're doing the interview on a zoom leak, but
I have to record everything, you know, through the have
to set up the mic and all that whatever. It
doesn't take that long. But the main problem was I
changed my sleep schedule and I didn't go to the
gym and this all this other stuff. So I'm in
there and send the link and the window. Two minutes
(10:19):
before the window is supposed to start, I get an
email and it's the PR person that pitched the interview.
And now he didn't cancel. He didn't cancel. He said, hey,
can we move the interview thirty five or forty minutes
from now? And I was like, well, I really don't
(10:39):
want to do it thirty five or forty minutes now.
But I'm already here and I'm up, and okay, you know,
why not I'll do it, I wrote back. I said, well,
you know, I don't really want to do it, but
I'm here, and I sure, why not. I'll accommodate the person,
even though again I kept my end of the deal.
I made an agreement. Your word is the most important thing,
(11:00):
and so I shut up. So I'm sitting there twiddling
my thumbs, right, and I don't even know how long
it was, It was a bit of time. I get
a second email from the publicist. What do you think
this one? Was?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Dan? What do you think this one? Can we push
it back one more time?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
No?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
This was, Hey, my guys really tired today. He's not
going to be able to do the interview with you.
I apologize and then that's it. No rescheduled to another day,
none of that. It's just f you, you blow, I
(11:45):
don't value you. Go away is essentially what the email was. Wow,
apology the end. And this is so No. I'm not
gonna even say the person's name because I don't want
to give them the publicity of knowing who they are.
But it's a person who is very tied to a
Hall of fame quarter actually has worked with many Hall
(12:07):
of fame quarterbacks and has a very famous quote which
I have used on a semi regular basis. I'm sure
Alf and some of these guys can figure out who
it is. A person's worked in the NFL going back,
I think to the seventies, so you know someone that's
certainly tiy the But just I have no use for that.
(12:30):
And I know this, This PR person is going to
be emailing me again next week saying, Hey, I got
Joe Blow who wants to talk about schmucks? Would you
like to tell you? No, I'm good. And it's like
I always say about these podcasts and radio shows, Danny,
and like, the most important thing we have is our time.
(12:51):
You can't get more of it, you can't buy it.
You know it's gone. It's gone. You don't know how
much you have and all that stuff. And when you
take that almost valuable, come on wasting my time. And
when you agree to do it, that's the thing, Like,
don't agree to do it, fine, I don't. I can
handle that. But if I futz around, I get up,
I change my schedule, go in the studio, and then
(13:13):
you don't have the courtesy to live up to your
end of the bargain because you're tired.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Now take the producer hat and put it on your
head for a moment. Imagine setting this all up for
a host and then having those issues with emails and
cancelations and rescheduling and pissing off the host, because I've
had to deal with that in the past, and that's
a big pain in the ass.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Hey, I pissed myself off, Danny.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I bet you did.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Like, why do I agree to that? You know? I
was like, what the hell? We have a good rhythm
here with the podcast. The downloads are great, people love it. Right,
We'll see how this goes during football season. The mail
bag tomorrow is obviously going to be important to make
sure the numbers are up on the mail bag. But
the whole thing just left a bad taste mouth and
I was just annoyed. It was like, and I don't
(14:03):
need to I don't need this. I'm helping you out.
You got some crappy book that I'm promoting, and this
is what you do.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
And I don't even think, uh we should I say
his name? I don't know. I don't think Brian Billick's
book is going to be that great.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Well, we finally at least got him on it. Took
us two years, but he finally got him on. But yeah, yeah,
that was that was another one. Well, we just had
to get him on because we it was so annoying
with him. It was so annoying, and uh, it's really
one of those things. It's you know, it's a di
I y right, it's do it yourself situation. You end
up doing it yourself. It's just better to do the
(14:39):
podcast yourself sometimes, right, a little do it yourself situation.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Last weekend, I had to run to Target to get
some baby formula. When big ass baby cod gets off
the stupid goat milk formula, I am going to do
some backflips, like I just scored in the end zone.
Every time I go there, that canister is five dollars. Now,
it's it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
And how often do you have to go through these things?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Every two weeks?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Okay, all right, at least it lasts a little while,
but that's not that long.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
And there's some weeks where he drinks more bottles maybe
a week.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
What's magical about this that he has to drink it? Like,
what's the magical?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I think a lot of it's comfort, because when you're
trying to wean a kid off the bottle, it's hard,
you know, because that's that's like his go to for
comfort when he's sitting in your arm on the on
the recliner, and right before he takes a nap, he
wants his baba daddy, and there's nutrients in it too.
I mean, you're supposed to be given these things to
(15:40):
the maybe up until they're one. He's one now, so
we're trying to wean them off this, but I don't
know when it's gonna.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Be ah wow, wow wow.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
We always check the target website to make sure they
have the formula that he uses. It said they had
seven in stock. Okay, good. So I get there, shelf
is empty. Nothing. I walk around this stupid store for
ten minutes to find one employee and she begrudgingly helped me,
gets on her walkie talkie and says, guests needs help
(16:14):
in the baby formula aisle. Hurry back over to that
aisle and I stand there for a good solid ten minutes.
Not one employee shows up.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, crickets, you're swidling your thumbs and you're waiting, And
did you walk out or did you stay?
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I said, f this place. I walked out with two
blazing middle fingers. So that was the start of a
great week of customer surface unless it wasn't it is.
Now fast forward to the opening of NFL season Thursday night,
we do the Cavino and Rich Show. We have a
great time talking a lot of football and having fun
(16:55):
on the air. And then when the show's over, we
got an hour before the game kicks off between the
Ravens and the Chiefs. I I tell it on their
podcast and walk outside to the scorching one hundred and
sixteen degree heat across the street to the galleria and
we go to Buffalo Wild Wings and of course there
was that little bit of the weather delay and everything. Yeah,
(17:18):
gave us time to put our order in though. Right,
So we're sitting there and we're waiting. We're waiting, and
we're looking. They're way understaffed at this Buffalo Wild Wings.
There's probably three employees working.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Wonderful.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Finally, Rich Davis stops one of the girls, one of
the three people working, and he said, hey, yeah, and
he said, not to be rude, but we've been sitting
here for a long time. What's the deal? Can we order?
And she said, yeah, let me get the guy who's
in charge of your section, and we're like, okay, so
we're waiting. We're waiting. I'm like, man, what is this?
(17:53):
Am I waiting for baby formula? Here? Finally the dude
comes over Ben. Let's just say he doesn't seem like
he's impressed with all the football fans there. He's got
a pissy attitude. And he tells Rich, you know what
you can order from right here, points to the center
of the table and it's one of those stupid barcodes.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Oh yeah, they're very popular during the COVID time.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Yes, yeah, that'll be quicker, and he walks away rudely wonderful,
all right. Rich takes his cell phone scans it, opens
up the menu, pressed selecting the wings, but then he
gets to the alcohol because he wants an alcoholic beverage,
and it has him trying to piece meal together his
(18:39):
moscow mule. He can't figure out how to make the
drink the way he wants to, and he says, what
the fuck? Am I a digital bartender? He gets up
out of his chair and he goes and he finds
the waiter. The guy finally comes back over to us.
He takes out his pad in his pen, and he's pissed.
He's pissed like he does not want to take our order,
(19:01):
like he's doing some kind of huge favor.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
You're in the danger zone at this point, because this
is going to lead to some kind of foreign objects
in your meal.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
I'm at this point, we're not even thinking about that.
We're thinking, man, we're going to have to find a
new spot to come watch football after our radio show
because that's.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
So convenient, man, I mean, and have that direct line
to the football guys. Remember that commercial back in the day.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
That's right, Well, we used to the one option. The
other option we used to have was right across the
street from our studios. Yeah, public school, right, Yeah, and
have you seen what happened to that place?
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I see the sign's still up, but they're not around.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
There's one other sign. It's a big one. It says
four lease.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Yeah, there's nothing. I'm mean in Ventura Boulevard. There's a
bunch of restaurants, but it's a pain in the ass
because of parking in the traffic to go anywhere quickly.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
It took another half hour for the food to come out.
So now the game is starting. The second quarter. We
still don't have anything in front of us except water.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
You could hit the cheesecake factory, which is there, but
that's not a really good bar setup.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
For Yeah, it's like a little it's like one of
those old school little bar TVs.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yeah, they have good appetizers, but it's not to watch
the game. You might as well just watch on your phone.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah, we left. We just got a couple quarters of wings.
We still had great conversation and fun as a radio
show hanging out there, but we bailed at halftime and
had way better service in our own kitchens and back
on our TV screens in the living room for what
turned out to be a pretty exciting second half of
that football game.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Oh yeah, you know it was. The opener was great.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Did COVID just officially slam the door on ever really
truly getting good customer service ever? Again?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Yeah, it certainly seems like it. And it's not like
that you're paying more, certainly here in California, you're paying more,
much more for food, and yet you're not even getting
like the normal. And it's when you were telling me
the Target story about the customer service there, I thought
you were going to tell me, Hey, I got the product,
and then I couldn't check out because there was a
line fifty people deep at the checkout thing and the
(21:16):
self checkout was closed. I've seen at Walmart, oh yeah,
because everyone kept stealing all these animals kept stealing stuff
from the stores at the self checkout, so they put
the kebash on that they limit how much you can do,
and then they don't hire enough people to work the
checkout stand, so there's these massive lines and people end
up leaving shopping carts full of stuff because they don't
want to spend an hour forty five minutes in line
(21:39):
waiting for someone to come over.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
You're exactly right. At our Target, there's always a huge
line for the couple of open do it yourself kiosks,
and then the couple of checkers that they do have working.
Those people have huge filled carts waiting their turn to
have a real human and help them, and that line
is big. So as I walked out with my birds blazing,
(22:05):
I noticed both lines were really long, so I definitely
avoided that and I just I went to Whole Foods
and got what I needed, you know, and Target can
kiss my ass. Now, I don't think I'm gonna go
back there for a while.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Yeah, It's it's like we say in radio, it's hard
to get people to listen, and then when you get them,
you don't want to lose them, right, you want to
keep the audience that you have. Well, if you're in
a realtail store, it's like if your target, don't you,
I know they're not trying to suck, But if somebody
like you gets or I get turned off by the
customer service, I'm not going to go back. I might
(22:39):
never go back.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
God bless truly the paper boys, security guards and threat.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Drivers pressing off. We had the Beach Daily double big
heat wave, as you referenced here in this podcast, Danny,
in southern California temperatures.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Did you feel like you were staying in a furnace?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
It was brutal man I even doing the overnight show,
I pulled up it was like ninety one degrees late
at night in the Oaks in Sherman Oaks. It was nuts.
And have been doing stuff during the day going around
it's ridiculous. But so we had this big heat wave.
It's still going on this weekend. It's not going to
end till next week. So the other day my wife's like, hey,
(23:22):
let's she was throwing a party, big party there, beach party.
Not for me, not for me. She planned the whole
thing out. She got up at nine am on the
weekend something that is against my religion and there's no
way I'm going to do that. So she goes out
to the beach to set everything up. She had me
(23:42):
work like Femi from Minnesota, the uber eat driver. She's like,
all right, when you get up, I want you to
get some food come down to the beach. And I'm like,
all right, I could do that, you know why not?
So I went to the Costco. I ordered some pies
at costcar four pies, sot her and moved. Get the pies.
I head to the beach. So I get down the
(24:03):
beach and I'm not surprised by this because it's a
heat wave. So I turn where I need to go
to the beach and I didn't realize it at the time,
but I was about to hit the beach daily double.
The first part of it was gridlock, absolute gridlock, bumper
to bumper to bumper, which is one of the reasons
I don't go to the beach as much as I had.
(24:24):
For a couple of years. I went to the beach
a lot, but it's just I don't want to deal
with im typical. Oh, I don't want to have anything
to do with it.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
So I go down there.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I'm like, well, I have the pies, I have to
go there. So I had this gridlock. I get to
the beach parking lot where I'm supposed to drop off,
you know, drop off the pies and hang out and
be social and all that. So the parking lot is jam,
but not just jam. It's now closed. No new cars
are allowed, can't park there. So this was the first
(24:56):
leg of the situation. I got these pies, I got
a you know, I'm not gonna eat four pizzas. I
don't know. He's not even for me. I'm fasting. So
there's a security beach security guy, not a cop, not
not formal security. I don't even know what the guy's
title was. But he's standing out there futsing around. And
(25:20):
so there's a line of cars and everyone stopped. They
won't let anyone in the parking lot. Now, this is
on the top of a hill. The parking for the
beach is down the hill, so they close the way
to get down there. It's crazy. So finally I get
up to the guy and window goes down. He's like, hey,
(25:41):
I can't I can't let you in. I said, well,
it's just a I got the pies. You know, why
don't I just drop him off and then I'll leave
Because there's no parking, there's a drop off spot. So
he says, hold on a second, and then the second
leg of the parlay, the dude rabs his rapid radio
(26:02):
to communicate down to the parking lot down the hill
to let them know that I was coming down there
to drop off the pies to not allow me to park. Right.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
It really was a rapid radio.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
It was a rapid radio, and that's I smiled. I
was like, I you know many times I've read that
rapid radio commercial on the shoah for business owners exactly.
And by the way, this is not a paid commercial.
No one told me to say this. I just observed
this out in the wild, you know. I was really
(26:35):
cool to see. And that's a part right near the ocean.
The cell reception is terrible, so it makes sense they
would have rapid radios because I can't even use my
phone at that beach. There's no cell reception for what
they shut it off. I don't know what they do.
So the security dude, he wouldn't let me park. But
(26:56):
I went home and watched college football, cranked up the
air conditioning and I had to find I watched them
baseball and I was fine. I was like, I was
all right. So that was my my beach parlay all
day daily, you know, double whatever it was.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
But we'll have you were like an Uber eats driver.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah pretty much. Yeah, that was about it. I'm going
to push back the international Man of Mystery and even
the foody Well, I don't think we're doing footy fun
this week. How about I'll do the Idium of the
Week tomorrow? Does that makes sense? I think we're good
for today. All right, So I'll go a little tell.
I'll try to remember that international Amoan of Mystery. If
I remember, great, If not, you'll can email me and
say you moron, what's wrong with you? And I did
(27:36):
have an Idiom of the week, and we've got the
mail bag. Anything you want to promote Danny on a Saturday.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
No, this is a day of producing this fine podcast
and then watching some college football.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
College football all day, Lolly and I will be watching
Benny Versus the Penny.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Oh, I watched it last week?
Speaker 1 (27:59):
All right?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Was it? I like the love you gave to Gardner Minshew.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yeah I did. I smooched all over Gardner Mitshew, I
did for sure. And your Raiders in town tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Yes, they're home away from home. According to vivid Seats,
sixty four percent Raider fans.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Okay, that is tomorrow. We'll have a mail bag and
the other stories we didn't get to today. Have a
wonderful rest of your Saturday. Remember you got Benny Versus
the Penny today all day today and then tomorrow until
one o'clock Eastern and then that's it. They're going to
kill the show for the week. So if you want
to watch it, you got to act or you're losing it.
And we will talk to you next time.
