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 soul fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow, it's the clearinghouse
of hot takes. Break free for something special. The Fifth
(00:23):
Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the air.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Everywhere you have stumbled on to the Fifth Hour with
Ben Mallor you already knew that. It's one thing about podcasting,
you have no surprises. You can't scan the podcast dial
and stumble onto a podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
But it is the Fifth Hour.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Myself, Ben and Danny g We are here every single
day on the weekends. And you hear me during the
night on the overnight on the Ben Mahler Show, and
Danny's on with Covino and Rich and we have a
rye at the big day day. Today is the day.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Yeah, you take this podcast. I take it with me
on the weekend when I travel. Are you one juicy
lucy down yet? How many burgers have you had so far?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Well? I am fired up tonight is the night the
main event.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
People have been asking me the cool thing about this,
and I'm reminded every time we do one of these
type of events that a lot of people would like
to be part of it, but they have plans. And
so then I've had people email me Danny and say, hey,
I can't make the event on Saturday night, which is tonight,
So can I see you on Sunday or Monday, just
(01:41):
like available whenever.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
That's not quite how this works.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
But if you somehow have missed this, I know I
said this on the on the Friday podcast, we talked hiccups.
First ever podcast I've ever done, first ever show about hiccups, Dandy,
I can now cross that off my bucket list. I've
adversed that, but I did like the woman pointed out
that they think that hiccups are because we used to
(02:07):
be fish.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I think that is yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
And I already ordered some of those lollipops.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yeah, the lollipops the way to go. Anyway, get to
the point, So tonight is the night. Depending on when
you're listening to this, it might be a long time
from now, It might be just a few hours from
now five pm to nine. Obviously, local time in Minneapolis
and again the Mermaid in and event Center. It is
on like Donkey Kong in Beautiful Mounds View, Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
One thing I know for sure is this is going
to create a lot of content for you, as I'm
sure you're going to be taking a lot of notes
and so next weekend, our Friday podcast is going to
be pretty exciting.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Well that's assuming the company can afford the rights fee.
As you know, a postgame show, Dany is very pricey
for an event like this, and they'll be competing networks
that will all be trying to get those nice that
feeling of excitement after a big event. But we've had
We've had a lot of fun. I've done these things
a few times. You were the last one we did
in southern California. Danny pop by and said hello to
(03:14):
the to the fans.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Of the show.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
And we'll hopefully do another one down the line. But
this is the Minnesota event. Hollering James is supposed to
be there. I'm looking forward to that. Ohio Al is
going to be making a trip from a while. We've
got Doc Mike from Chicago, Regina the Hostess with the
Mostest Live Band. Tonight so that's good. I don't have
to talk as much because there'll be a band there.
(03:37):
I can just listen to the band.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And there's all kinds of there's acts throwing, there's bolling.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
And it would be so awesome if it just turned
out to be you and Regina throwing axes all night
by yourself.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yes, and Doc Mike urinating in the corner. And that's possible.
That is possible that that's the only people that.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Show up to the Seaue.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
You never know because people say they're going to show
up and then they don't show up. But this place
is massive, This mermaid in an event center that's hosting
this one hundred thousand square feet of event space. They've
got all the bells and whistles, they got a full
service bar and grill, and so we are fired up.
We are fired up for this. So again, that is tonight.
(04:19):
But as far as this podcast, we've got meatball Surgery,
El Loco Loco and Pop Goes the Culture.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
So we've got a lot to get to.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
So let's get right into it right now, and we
begin with the meatball surgery. So this past weekend was
a normal weekend.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
No big event or anything.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Like that.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
So we get behind the microphone and the headphones and
the life of Mallard and Danny g on the weekends,
and we're pretty boring most of the time. But anyway,
last weekend I was Benny the baker. I was back
in the kitchen Danny. As you know, it's my stick
duty to big cookies on the weekends and then eat
them during the week and we had talked on the
(05:06):
radio show about snicker doodle cookies, and so I got
in my head to make snicker doodle cookies. And as
always what I do is I try to find I
love frosting on cookies. So I tried to find a
snicker doodle recipe with frosting, and I found like a
dupe of again the crumble snicker doodle cookie, which is
(05:30):
the crumbles, like the five dollars a cookie thing that's say,
it's insane. So I found this recipe. I searched all
over the dark web. I found this great recipe, and
so I proceeded to then make said cookie dough. And
as I was making the cookie dough, things were going,
you know, swimmingly, they were, they were they were going Okay.
I made that though, and then my wife. She loves
(05:52):
the oatmeal raisin cookies. So then I was like, all right,
well I'll make some oatmeal raisin cookies.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
And what an amazing life I'm living.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
So then I'm making the oatmeal raisin, which is a
lot of lot of ingredients and you know, whatever, it's
it's it's I don't even usually like oatmeal raisin, but
these I like because they taste. They don't taste like
your normal oatmeal raisin. So I make the I'm making
the dough and I use a kitchen aid mixer to
(06:23):
help me bring everything together. Put all the ingredients in there.
It's really simple.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
So I'm using the kitchen aid mixer.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I am across the kitchen on the island and I
am preparing some other ingredients and I hear this sound
like it's like a factory of like metal crunching into metal,
and I'm like, what.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
You know, what is pot? What is going on? Makes
no sense?
Speaker 5 (06:54):
You know?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
What the hell.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Is?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
That a bad word?
Speaker 3 (06:59):
So I don't want to I don't want to offense
or scratch off in Arkansas because he says I curse
a lot on this podcast. I don't want to offense
or scratches anyway. So I turn around and much to
my dismay, the dough that was being made for the
oatmeal raisin cookies after I'd made the snicker Do cookies.
The mixer has now completely stopped, and I'm like trying.
(07:21):
I felt like there was like a polter geist or
something that had happened, because I was not even watching
what happened. I was like, how could I didn't put
anything in there? I say, well, maybe I put to
accidentally put a fork in the mixer, or I tossed
a knife in there, And I'm like.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
No, I wasn't even there.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I was on the I was across the kitchen preparing
some other nonsense. So I obviously I turned. I unplugged
the thing, and I investigate. I use the Mallard think tank.
I go in there and I'm investigating and what had happened.
I don't know if you have have you ever seen
like a kitchen aid mixer, You guys have one, but
the very top there's this like there's this little metal
(08:03):
thing which you have to twist on and off. I
guess my wife told me you use it for attachments. Okay, okay,
So I never even bothered to worry about it. So
this mixer was going so crazy that it was it
was gyrating back and forth, and in that gyration it
(08:25):
was like Richard Simmons, you know, Shaken to the oldies
or damn whatever the old the infomercial from the back
in the in the nineties. So the thing came on
the the metal piece fell off, falls into the batter, unhinged.
It came unhinged, falls in and boom. Immediately the whole
(08:45):
thing stops working. And so I was like, well, maybe
I'll just unplug it, I'll turn it back on.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
And it'll be good. And no, no, So.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
We did take the kitchen aid mixer, which is i'll
explain why this is important to me, but I took
the kitchen aid mixer, which these things are like three
hundred bucks. So I took this thing to the repair
shop for some meatball surgery on the kitchen aid mixer.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
So we went online.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
We found a place which was not far away from
the Malor mansion that specializes in these kitchen aid mixers.
So I said, okay, that's the place. We went down
there and they're only open for a few hours a day.
We dropped the thing off the guys like, oh, it's
like sixty bucks to get an estimate, and then we'll
call you back tell you how much it actually costs
to fix the thing, and it's pretty pricey.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
But I had to do it, Danny. I had to
do it for two reasons.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Number one, it's cheaper still than buying a new one,
and number two, this has sentimental value because this was
a gift my mom got me before she passed away.
So I feel like I have to I have to
hold onto this thing as long as I possibly can,
because it's this odd connection I had, which are really
not that odd, but it's a connection to my mom,
(10:11):
and so therefore I was like, all right, whatever, So
we spent the money and we're supposed to get it
back when I when I returned my triumphant return from
the Land of ten Thousand Lakes, which will be later
next week, so we'll find out about that. So little
meatball surgery, Danny, and hopefully it'll be I would like
(10:33):
to point out, though, that I did attempt a d IY.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Do it yourself situation.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I went online, I did see that somebody else had
the same problem I had, and then I watched how
you repair it, and I had this this like feeling
of anxiety and I said, I am not I am
(11:00):
not worthy. I am not an engineer. I am not
a mechanic. That is not a skill set that I have.
I identified the problem, I recognized the situation, and I
discovered that it is in my best interest, Danny, to
find someone, someone who knows what they're doing.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
So yeah, pass it off. And how appropriate it was
Mother's Day weekend.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
That is, you know what.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I didn't even realize that there you go, some kind
of odd sign from mom, Ah, there you go. But
it was it was wild. It was not an El
Loco Loco situation though. It was not that, Danny.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Yeah, it was one crazy not too crazy. You know.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Right across the street from the Great Fox Sports Radio
Studios is al Poyo Loko Chicken Joint. We've talked about
it on the show before.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Crazy Crazy Chicken Point Chicken Joint, And for those that
have not heard the stories, this is the place that
a lot of the rich people that live in bel
Air will come down and get their fre It's not
fried chicken, it's grilled chicken at Opoil Loco and Magic
Johnson's been in there There's been a bunch of other
celebrities that let live up in the hills above where
(12:15):
we work and they go hang out.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
They love that spot.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Yeah, I've met the comedian slash actor Mike Epps in there,
a lot of different actors and actresses. We've seen Grace
the l Poyo Loco counter, and it's normal for our
staff to be seen in there. Anytime I'm in there,
I'll see one of our hosts, I'll see an editor,
I'll see somebody run in and pick up its go order.
(12:40):
You could find Rich Davis from Covino and Rich in
there just about every day.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I've heard rumors that Rich ought to get a job there.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
He's there that much that he should apply and make
a little extra money on the side.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Once he found out that they had five dollars poo
bulls and you could order on your phone and they'll
have it ready and you just on across and pick
it up.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
He's been eating there every day.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
It's convenient, and so I used it right before the show,
so it's like one o'clock in the afternoon. All I
need to do is pick up this food. And also
I had rewards from them on the app for a
free drink. So I'm like, I gotta deal with the line,
but it'll be worth it for the free drink, not
the case. Get over there across the street. First of all,
(13:27):
the entrance to the l Tooyo Loko blocked.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
You could not get in. I'll let you take a guess.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
What do you think was blocking the l Tooyo Loko
entrance on Sepulvida.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I am gonna go for one thousand dollars a hobo.
I am going for a.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Vagrant, is my answer. Alex, you are right, you just
dollars dollars?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
All right?
Speaker 5 (13:52):
What right?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Not just your every day hoemost person in Sherman Oaks, California.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
This person had.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
A huge cart filled with shit, which is normal for
us to see. But what's not normal is on top
of the cart a huge valet umbrella.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Oh so they picked up some souvenirs when they were
walking around Sherman Oaks.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Some poor restaurant is missing their valet umbrella.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
I took a picture. I'll have to post it this
weekend of this big valet umbrella. I was like, what
the fuck? Where did they get that?
Speaker 3 (14:33):
And then let me speak for the person down on
the buck on the hard scrabble streets of Sherman Oaks.
It does get very hot in Sherman Oaks, and we're
getting into the.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Part of the year.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
We're still got a couple months to go, but July
and August and September are oppressively hot in Sherman Oaks, California.
So this guy's looking out, he's planning ahead. Dan, He's like, hey, listen,
I don't want to get a sunburn. I'm outdoors all
the time. So's he's like the valet they can afford
a new plan.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Who does? By the way, though, seriously, I mean, what
are we doing? Well?
Speaker 4 (15:03):
I walked around to the back entrance of the Lpoyo
Loco and now as I'm walking in through the rear entrance,
I'm noticing that there is commotion at the front counter.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
So not only is the.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Entrance blocked, you couldn't get up to the cash register
because there was a big scene going on. The second
homeless person of this scene, and this homeless person was
making almost like seizure movements, like convulsing.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Thanks for calling your local police department and have a
nice day.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Okay, f that drink, I'm gonna pick up my food
and get the hell out of here. Get over to
the side of the side of the counter where one
employee was and I'm like, I can I pick up
my food and he's like, you'll have to wait. We
haven't been able to make any orders in the last
few minutes with everything going on. Like, holy crap, this
(16:04):
crazy chicken place is really crazy craziness.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Man, that's nuts.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
That's just a random Thursday in la or Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
It's just it's insane going on.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
There, and so life hack. I backed out of there.
I kept walking down the street. I walked into the
Whole Foods and I went back to their little deli section.
They make sandwiches that they jack people for like ten
to thirteen dollars. Yeah, but on that menu you could
get a PBJ or they call it a almond butter,
(16:38):
but you can replace it with regular peanut butter. Four
dollars for a big peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
That's good.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Yeah. Score.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
It took an extra half hour to get back to work,
but I walked in with a big peanut butter and
jelly sandwich and a story about two homeless people up
the i'l poyoko.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Did you see any celebrities in there?
Speaker 3 (17:02):
I remember Tom Looney was so excited because he saw
this obviously years ago. He's dead now, but Keith Jackson
the voice of college football for so many people. And
Keith used to live up in the hills when he
was alive and above us, and he would go and
shop in there. And Looney he told me the story
for like two years, how he saw Keith Jackson looking
(17:23):
at tomatoes at foods.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
At very same whole foods I've seen the award winning
actress Juliet Lewis. No, there you go, handing right in
front of me in line buying a few groceries.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Well, this is Saturday, and we have backscratcher. Let's get
backscratcher on, so you scratch our back. We scratched her back. Now.
Last week we complained that we were still a couple
of reviews away from four hundred, the round number of
four hundred. So Danny g after belly aching and whining
(18:00):
and koviching on the radio ashually the podcast, how many.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Reviews did we get?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Did we get this week five reviews? Did we get
three reviews? Or are we total losers and got no reviews.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Let's go back to Game one of Lakers Nuggets. They
cut that twenty one deficit down to three. I'm gonna
say three, Ben.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
The answer is three. The answer is three. And here
are some of the views. We got five stars from
James in Arkansas. He said, bad choice by you, Ben,
Danny g is right. Cookie dough ice cream is disgusting,
and he said, I love the podkast.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
No, I disagree.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
When I was a little kid, every once in a while, No,
you're not supposed to do this, but my mom would
give me a little cookie dough to eat, and I
didn't die of some kind of weird illness, some food
born illness.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I survived. I prospered in life.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
And so cookie dough it's got to be the right mixture, though,
it's got to be there's a certain proprietary blend. If
there's too much cookie dough, it's a problem. If there's
too much ice cream not enough cookie dough, there's a problem.
But James, you have not had the right mix of
cookie dough ice cream. It's the secret blend that you
(19:25):
need to have.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Raw cookie dough ice cream is the grossest besides pistachio.
That green pistachio ice cream is also nasty, but cookie
does right up there.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
You're wrong. We can agree to disagree on that. That's
a bad take by you, Danny. That's the worst ice
cream take I've ever heard. Wrong.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Now we have from Walt Disney. How about this? Walt
Disney reviewed our podcast.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
Yes, I love when ghosts chime in.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Holy crap, all right, says entertaining show Ben and Danny
G always have something interesting to chat a about, like
homeless people blocking the door at a chicken shack in La. Says,
I work at a school, so I can relate to
Danny G's stories about school. Then has some great life
acts like getting points for using bang.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
That's right. Get your money.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Of course, you have to search every day for a year,
like I do, five six hours a.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Day to get any money, but I do.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
If you have a job like this, and I think
of your teacher, you probably search a lot too. Also,
I says, I listened to this podcast when I'm doing
mundane weekend errands and chores. It's quite entertaining. Keep up
the good work, guys. And that is from calls person Walt.
I'm assuming that's not their real.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Name, but thank you, thank you, mister Disney.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
And the last one is from can.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
You please lower the prices at the park back down
to fifty cents?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yes, so we can actually afford on a radio salary
to go. That would be nice.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Jewles writes in, and she gives us a review and
she says, awesome, five stars. I love listening at night.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Check this out, Danny. When my husband snoring keeps me awake?
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Okay, wear a white noise.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Racist yes, wedded Bliss, Danny g wetted Bliss. May I recommend,
Jules my my wife does not snore, I don't think,
but she does grind her teeth. I recommend a fan
and some kind of either heater or air conditioner in
the background. But you must also continue to listen to
the podcast.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
You can hear teeth grinding.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Oh it's bad, man, It's it's terrible. It's like nails
on a chalkboard.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
But I can only really hear out of one of
my ears, So as long as I turn my head
the other way, I can't really hear it because I
have one. I have one really messed up ear. My
right ear is pretty mess up. My left ear is
not that bad.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Dude, together we are Voltron because my left ear is
bad and my right ear is good.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
There you go, We're perfect. That's made in heaven.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
We've got We'll do a few pop goes the culture stories,
and so we bring in our man, the myth, the legend. Ohio, Aljohn,
(22:31):
all right, thank you, Ohio. Here we go, Tom Hanks.
You see this story this week. Tom Hanks is planning
on living forever. Now, not in flesh. He's not gonna
live forever, but he will be on the big screen forever.
All because Tom Hanks has given the blessing for his image,
(22:53):
his voice, all of that to be recreated in movies
long after Tom Hanks is dead. So if they want
to make another Forrest Gump movie, they can have Tom
Hanks in the movie. Hanks said that he had predicted
twenty years ago that this is the.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Way it's going to go.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
And he said in about twenty three to twenty four,
he was working on the Polar Express and he said
he had it an Epiphany's sixty six years old, and
he's all in. He knows he'll be long gone, but
they'll still make movies and he'll still be in the movies.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
And he's all fired up.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
This is like how the Ben Malor Show is still
going to be on overnights on the network in thirty
five years from now, because there's just going to be
the computerized version of you.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Well spoiler alert. And I don't know that we're allowed
to say this, Danny. I actually stopped doing original audio
content about five years ago.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I made enough money the company and.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
So I actually retired from radio and I live in Hawaii,
on the Island of Kawaii.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I relocated to Hawaii, but I gave.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
The blessing to Don Martin and Scott Shapiro and the
people over there at iHeart. I said, you know what,
just keep keep sending stuff out there and uh and that,
and they said, sure, no problem. Uh so yeah, I'm
I'm fully retired, Nanny. You think I'd do a weekend podcast?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
I mean, are you kidding?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
You know?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
This is all AI?
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Well that explains your old bad basketball takes.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Well, no, those those basketball takes are outstanding, and those
are actually updated. Because the thing about the AI, the
the the company iHeart paid a lot of money for
the AI and so they didn't just hobble around with
some old technology and they know that the the new
listeners to this original audio content. They know that the
Clippers run LA and or is it should I say
(25:04):
the Denver Nuggets run LA. Maybe that's the updated take
on that, Danny, What.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Is still wrong with the Clippers? Anyway?
Speaker 5 (25:12):
Last week it was the Warriors.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Well, listen, I've evolved. If you cannot evolve, Danny G.
You don't want to stay and do the same stuff
over and over again. You have to grow, and you
have to expand, and you have to take quantum leaps
in life sometimes. And right now I'm a Denver Nuggets fan,
and hopefully I'll continue to be a Nuggets fan. But
maybe next week I'll be a Heat fan or a
Celtic fan. I don't know, Loser, I have no idea,
(25:36):
all right. Anyway, So chick fil A very popular Chick
fil A, and they have decided, the company Chick fil A,
that the very first ever Chick fil A location is
not needed anymore, and so they have announced that actually
(25:58):
today today is the day it is scheduled to close.
It was originally established in nineteen sixty seven in Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
And this is the.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Greenbriar Mall in Southwest Atlanta. The first restaurant to use
the Chick fil A name, and it goes back to
the nineteen forties and it's closing its doors.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
It's closing its doors.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
There's a plaque commemorating the restaurant's history, they say there,
but they're they're closing it down. Have you been to
the it's not the original McDonald's, but I believe it's
the oldest operating McDonald's, which is here in Downey.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yeah, in Downey, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Yeah, down in California. There's a little McDonald's museum attached
to it.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
And fun fact, I believe that is the last location
that makes the fried apple pie. Remember when used to
go to McDonald's, you get that fried apple pie and
you burn the roof.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Of your mouth.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Not only get one of them, and get two of
them because they were two for a dollar.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
So good, so good. I love that. Oh it's great.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
I miss those.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Now they bake the apple pie, they don't, it's not
made the same way.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
A lot of the locations don't even have them all together.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
So but I am told that that location the original.
And if you're in southern California, and a lot of
our listeners are Downy, if you want the fried apple Pie.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
That's that's the spot to go. That's the spot.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Speaking of McDonald's, there has been a rule at the
Golden Arches, and this is a pop goes to the
culture story here that if you work at McDonald's, if
you have a customer come in and say, you know
what I want fifteen big Max, I want seventeen fries,
I want milkshakes.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
They are not allowed to accept tips.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
But in Colorado, in Colorado, that may soon change, Danny, Yeah,
because the Department of Labor, as they're working, McDonald's workers
in Colorado may soon be allowed to accept tips.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
And they get into all the details here.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
They say the state of Colorado, there's a new law
that would circumvent the ban on tips, and it says
employers like McDonald's and Walmart would be prohibited from taking
adverse action against any employee who accepts a cash gratuity
(28:41):
offered to buy a patron.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
To the to the business.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
But maybe it was because they were going to unionize,
like the strippers in North Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Oh I did I did hear about that?
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Do you think there'll be any strip clubs left in
North Hollywood by the time this gets done, Danny.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Do you think.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
What do you think you think there'll still be strip
clubs there? Or you're just gonna move to the Van
Eyes and call it a day. Yep, Yeah, anyway, Yeah,
so there's a there's a bill out there.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
We'll see if it passes. I don't I don't want
to offend anyone.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
But if I'm going to Mickey D's to get some
nuggets and some fries, do I really need the tip?
Speaker 1 (29:22):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (29:24):
No?
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Yeah, come on, especially with the cost of food nowadays,
we're already paying double for what we should be paying
for fast food.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Well, there's another food related so a lot of food
related stories and pop go's the culture this week?
Speaker 1 (29:41):
What's up with that? So a competitive eater named Motion
is his that's his nickname.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
He's got a very tough name to pronounce, but he
goes by a notion emotion rather. And this guy was
chowing down at a Golden Corral and kissing me Florida,
formerly the spring training home of the Astros back when
I was.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
A kid and the Asstros.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
He was visiting the city trying to qualify for the
Nathan's Hot Dog Eating contest which is coming up in July,
which means we gotta get Joey Chestnut back on. And
this guy, he went out at the Golden Corral and
his meal included multiple cheeseburgers, pounds of popcorn, shrimp, mac
(30:29):
and cheese, pizza, steak, and French fries. However, as he
was taking part in the massive feast and gorging and
gorging and gorging, the man ended up being banned from
(30:51):
the Golden Corral.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Apparently he a.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Little too far. There's also an issue where he was
like recording. I guess he was recording some of the
employees for the YouTube or for the internet. So yeah,
I have not been to a I don't think I've
ever eaten at a Golden Corral?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Have you ever eaten at a Golden Corral?
Speaker 5 (31:10):
I've been to a Golden Corral before?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Is it worth our time?
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Or I would say that my mom would like it
if I took her to Golden Corral in someplace?
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Our parents like, okay, what about have you been to
the cracker barrel? I've been to the cracker barrel? Before
you ever eaten at a cracker barrel?
Speaker 5 (31:29):
I've never been to a cracker barrel.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
To me, Yeah, there's one in Vegas. There's actually there's
a few. They've They've always.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Was a Southern place, but they've spread across the country.
I've eaten there a couple times. The first time I
eat there, I thought it was amazing. They give you
big portions of food. It's kind of weird though. You
walk in there's a gift shop. It's a strange situation.
But I enjoyed my meal the first time. So we
went back and I was like, oh, we got to
go back, and I hated it. It was like it
(31:59):
was like the shit, like the time of the day
where the shift was changing over and the kitchen staff
was changing over, so the food half the food was cold.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
And it was just nasty. So and I haven't been back.
I've not been back since since that event. I think
that's it. I think we'll get out on that.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
We've got the mail bag tomorrow, but don't forget Tonight
is the night I hopefully will be able to meet
you if you're in the Greater Minneapolis area today five
pm to nine pm at the Malther meet and greet.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
A bunch of cocaine and hookers.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Well, we'll see what happens, Danny. Dead men tell no tales.
I learned that from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
But we will see what happens Mermaid in an event
center tonight.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
It's gonna be a lot of fun and we'll, hopefully,
depending on how the company comes up with some money,
we'll have complete coverage, in depth team coverage. When I
started at Fox Sports Radio, one of our bosses said,
why anytime there's a big story, you have to use
the catchphrase in depth team coverage, and so you know
(33:04):
something's big if you hear in depth team coverage.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
Now, would you like to address the rumors that ESPN
was thinking about using their budget on this post game
versus signing Pat McAfee.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Yeah, it really was.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
It was a toss up and unfortunately the coin came
up with Pat McAfee's face on it and we lost out.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Which is the story of my life, Danny.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
This story of my life as we will get out
on that. Anything you want to promote, Danny, it's Saturday.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Anything at all going.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
On Saturday, just our podcasting. Thank you to everybody downloading
all weekend long.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
We appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Yes, you are my favorite person and the mail bag tomorrow.
We'll catch you next time.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
See you then, have fun tonight. Don't get into trouble.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
That's the whole point. You got to get into trouble.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Danny, A bunch of hookers and cocaine basulation.
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 soul fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow, it's the clearinghouse
of hot takes. Break free for something special. The Fifth
(00:23):
Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the air.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Everywhere you have stumbled on to the Fifth Hour with
Ben Mallor you already knew that. It's one thing about podcasting,
you have no surprises. You can't scan the podcast dial
and stumble onto a podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
But it is the Fifth Hour.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Myself, Ben and Danny g We are here every single
day on the weekends. And you hear me during the
night on the overnight on the Ben Mahler Show, and
Danny's on with Covino and Rich and we have a
rye at the big day day. Today is the day.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Yeah, you take this podcast. I take it with me
on the weekend when I travel. Are you one juicy
lucy down yet? How many burgers have you had so far?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Well? I am fired up tonight is the night the
main event.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
People have been asking me the cool thing about this,
and I'm reminded every time we do one of these
type of events that a lot of people would like
to be part of it, but they have plans. And
so then I've had people email me Danny and say, hey,
I can't make the event on Saturday night, which is tonight,
So can I see you on Sunday or Monday, just
(01:41):
like available whenever.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
That's not quite how this works.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
But if you somehow have missed this, I know I
said this on the on the Friday podcast, we talked hiccups.
First ever podcast I've ever done, first ever show about hiccups, Dandy,
I can now cross that off my bucket list. I've
adversed that, but I did like the woman pointed out
that they think that hiccups are because we used to
(02:07):
be fish.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I think that is yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
And I already ordered some of those lollipops.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yeah, the lollipops the way to go. Anyway, get to
the point, So tonight is the night. Depending on when
you're listening to this, it might be a long time
from now, It might be just a few hours from
now five pm to nine. Obviously, local time in Minneapolis
and again the Mermaid in and event Center. It is
on like Donkey Kong in Beautiful Mounds View, Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
One thing I know for sure is this is going
to create a lot of content for you, as I'm
sure you're going to be taking a lot of notes
and so next weekend, our Friday podcast is going to
be pretty exciting.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Well that's assuming the company can afford the rights fee.
As you know, a postgame show, Dany is very pricey
for an event like this, and they'll be competing networks
that will all be trying to get those nice that
feeling of excitement after a big event. But we've had
We've had a lot of fun. I've done these things
a few times. You were the last one we did
in southern California. Danny pop by and said hello to
(03:14):
the to the fans.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Of the show.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
And we'll hopefully do another one down the line. But
this is the Minnesota event. Hollering James is supposed to
be there. I'm looking forward to that. Ohio Al is
going to be making a trip from a while. We've
got Doc Mike from Chicago, Regina the Hostess with the
Mostest Live Band. Tonight so that's good. I don't have
to talk as much because there'll be a band there.
(03:37):
I can just listen to the band.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And there's all kinds of there's acts throwing, there's bolling.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
And it would be so awesome if it just turned
out to be you and Regina throwing axes all night
by yourself.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yes, and Doc Mike urinating in the corner. And that's possible.
That is possible that that's the only people that.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Show up to the Seaue.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
You never know because people say they're going to show
up and then they don't show up. But this place
is massive, This mermaid in an event center that's hosting
this one hundred thousand square feet of event space. They've
got all the bells and whistles, they got a full
service bar and grill, and so we are fired up.
We are fired up for this. So again, that is tonight.
(04:19):
But as far as this podcast, we've got meatball Surgery,
El Loco Loco and Pop Goes the Culture.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
So we've got a lot to get to.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
So let's get right into it right now, and we
begin with the meatball surgery. So this past weekend was
a normal weekend.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
No big event or anything.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Like that.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
So we get behind the microphone and the headphones and
the life of Mallard and Danny g on the weekends,
and we're pretty boring most of the time. But anyway,
last weekend I was Benny the baker. I was back
in the kitchen Danny. As you know, it's my stick
duty to big cookies on the weekends and then eat
them during the week and we had talked on the
(05:06):
radio show about snicker doodle cookies, and so I got
in my head to make snicker doodle cookies. And as
always what I do is I try to find I
love frosting on cookies. So I tried to find a
snicker doodle recipe with frosting, and I found like a
dupe of again the crumble snicker doodle cookie, which is
(05:30):
the crumbles, like the five dollars a cookie thing that's say,
it's insane. So I found this recipe. I searched all
over the dark web. I found this great recipe, and
so I proceeded to then make said cookie dough. And
as I was making the cookie dough, things were going,
you know, swimmingly, they were, they were they were going Okay.
I made that though, and then my wife. She loves
(05:52):
the oatmeal raisin cookies. So then I was like, all right,
well I'll make some oatmeal raisin cookies.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
And what an amazing life I'm living.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
So then I'm making the oatmeal raisin, which is a
lot of lot of ingredients and you know, whatever, it's
it's it's I don't even usually like oatmeal raisin, but
these I like because they taste. They don't taste like
your normal oatmeal raisin. So I make the I'm making
the dough and I use a kitchen aid mixer to
(06:23):
help me bring everything together. Put all the ingredients in there.
It's really simple.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
So I'm using the kitchen aid mixer.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I am across the kitchen on the island and I
am preparing some other ingredients and I hear this sound
like it's like a factory of like metal crunching into metal,
and I'm like, what.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
You know, what is pot? What is going on? Makes
no sense?
Speaker 5 (06:54):
You know?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
What the hell.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Is?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
That a bad word?
Speaker 3 (06:59):
So I don't want to I don't want to offense
or scratch off in Arkansas because he says I curse
a lot on this podcast. I don't want to offense
or scratches anyway. So I turn around and much to
my dismay, the dough that was being made for the
oatmeal raisin cookies after I'd made the snicker Do cookies.
The mixer has now completely stopped, and I'm like trying.
(07:21):
I felt like there was like a polter geist or
something that had happened, because I was not even watching
what happened. I was like, how could I didn't put
anything in there? I say, well, maybe I put to
accidentally put a fork in the mixer, or I tossed
a knife in there, And I'm like.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
No, I wasn't even there.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I was on the I was across the kitchen preparing
some other nonsense. So I obviously I turned. I unplugged
the thing, and I investigate. I use the Mallard think tank.
I go in there and I'm investigating and what had happened.
I don't know if you have have you ever seen
like a kitchen aid mixer, You guys have one, but
the very top there's this like there's this little metal
(08:03):
thing which you have to twist on and off. I
guess my wife told me you use it for attachments. Okay, okay,
So I never even bothered to worry about it. So
this mixer was going so crazy that it was it
was gyrating back and forth, and in that gyration it
(08:25):
was like Richard Simmons, you know, Shaken to the oldies
or damn whatever the old the infomercial from the back
in the in the nineties. So the thing came on
the the metal piece fell off, falls into the batter, unhinged.
It came unhinged, falls in and boom. Immediately the whole
(08:45):
thing stops working. And so I was like, well, maybe
I'll just unplug it, I'll turn it back on.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
And it'll be good. And no, no, So.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
We did take the kitchen aid mixer, which is i'll
explain why this is important to me, but I took
the kitchen aid mixer, which these things are like three
hundred bucks. So I took this thing to the repair
shop for some meatball surgery on the kitchen aid mixer.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
So we went online.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
We found a place which was not far away from
the Malor mansion that specializes in these kitchen aid mixers.
So I said, okay, that's the place. We went down
there and they're only open for a few hours a day.
We dropped the thing off the guys like, oh, it's
like sixty bucks to get an estimate, and then we'll
call you back tell you how much it actually costs
to fix the thing, and it's pretty pricey.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
But I had to do it, Danny. I had to
do it for two reasons.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Number one, it's cheaper still than buying a new one,
and number two, this has sentimental value because this was
a gift my mom got me before she passed away.
So I feel like I have to I have to
hold onto this thing as long as I possibly can,
because it's this odd connection I had, which are really
not that odd, but it's a connection to my mom,
(10:11):
and so therefore I was like, all right, whatever, So
we spent the money and we're supposed to get it
back when I when I returned my triumphant return from
the Land of ten Thousand Lakes, which will be later
next week, so we'll find out about that. So little
meatball surgery, Danny, and hopefully it'll be I would like
(10:33):
to point out, though, that I did attempt a d IY.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Do it yourself situation.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I went online, I did see that somebody else had
the same problem I had, and then I watched how
you repair it, and I had this this like feeling
of anxiety and I said, I am not I am
(11:00):
not worthy. I am not an engineer. I am not
a mechanic. That is not a skill set that I have.
I identified the problem, I recognized the situation, and I
discovered that it is in my best interest, Danny, to
find someone, someone who knows what they're doing.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
So yeah, pass it off. And how appropriate it was
Mother's Day weekend.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
That is, you know what.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I didn't even realize that there you go, some kind
of odd sign from mom, Ah, there you go. But
it was it was wild. It was not an El
Loco Loco situation though. It was not that, Danny.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Yeah, it was one crazy not too crazy. You know.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Right across the street from the Great Fox Sports Radio
Studios is al Poyo Loko Chicken Joint. We've talked about
it on the show before.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Crazy Crazy Chicken Point Chicken Joint, And for those that
have not heard the stories, this is the place that
a lot of the rich people that live in bel
Air will come down and get their fre It's not
fried chicken, it's grilled chicken at Opoil Loco and Magic
Johnson's been in there There's been a bunch of other
celebrities that let live up in the hills above where
(12:15):
we work and they go hang out.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
They love that spot.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Yeah, I've met the comedian slash actor Mike Epps in there,
a lot of different actors and actresses. We've seen Grace
the l Poyo Loco counter, and it's normal for our
staff to be seen in there. Anytime I'm in there,
I'll see one of our hosts, I'll see an editor,
I'll see somebody run in and pick up its go order.
(12:40):
You could find Rich Davis from Covino and Rich in
there just about every day.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I've heard rumors that Rich ought to get a job there.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
He's there that much that he should apply and make
a little extra money on the side.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Once he found out that they had five dollars poo
bulls and you could order on your phone and they'll
have it ready and you just on across and pick
it up.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
He's been eating there every day.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
It's convenient, and so I used it right before the show,
so it's like one o'clock in the afternoon. All I
need to do is pick up this food. And also
I had rewards from them on the app for a
free drink. So I'm like, I gotta deal with the line,
but it'll be worth it for the free drink, not
the case. Get over there across the street. First of all,
(13:27):
the entrance to the l Tooyo Loko blocked.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
You could not get in. I'll let you take a guess.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
What do you think was blocking the l Tooyo Loko
entrance on Sepulvida.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I am gonna go for one thousand dollars a hobo.
I am going for a.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Vagrant, is my answer. Alex, you are right, you just
dollars dollars?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
All right?
Speaker 5 (13:52):
What right?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Not just your every day hoemost person in Sherman Oaks, California.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
This person had.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
A huge cart filled with shit, which is normal for
us to see. But what's not normal is on top
of the cart a huge valet umbrella.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Oh so they picked up some souvenirs when they were
walking around Sherman Oaks.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Some poor restaurant is missing their valet umbrella.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
I took a picture. I'll have to post it this
weekend of this big valet umbrella. I was like, what
the fuck? Where did they get that?
Speaker 3 (14:33):
And then let me speak for the person down on
the buck on the hard scrabble streets of Sherman Oaks.
It does get very hot in Sherman Oaks, and we're
getting into the.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Part of the year.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
We're still got a couple months to go, but July
and August and September are oppressively hot in Sherman Oaks, California.
So this guy's looking out, he's planning ahead. Dan, He's like, hey, listen,
I don't want to get a sunburn. I'm outdoors all
the time. So's he's like the valet they can afford
a new plan.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Who does? By the way, though, seriously, I mean, what
are we doing? Well?
Speaker 4 (15:03):
I walked around to the back entrance of the Lpoyo
Loco and now as I'm walking in through the rear entrance,
I'm noticing that there is commotion at the front counter.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
So not only is the.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Entrance blocked, you couldn't get up to the cash register
because there was a big scene going on. The second
homeless person of this scene, and this homeless person was
making almost like seizure movements, like convulsing.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Thanks for calling your local police department and have a
nice day.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Okay, f that drink, I'm gonna pick up my food
and get the hell out of here. Get over to
the side of the side of the counter where one
employee was and I'm like, I can I pick up
my food and he's like, you'll have to wait. We
haven't been able to make any orders in the last
few minutes with everything going on. Like, holy crap, this
(16:04):
crazy chicken place is really crazy craziness.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Man, that's nuts.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
That's just a random Thursday in la or Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
It's just it's insane going on.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
There, and so life hack. I backed out of there.
I kept walking down the street. I walked into the
Whole Foods and I went back to their little deli section.
They make sandwiches that they jack people for like ten
to thirteen dollars. Yeah, but on that menu you could
get a PBJ or they call it a almond butter,
(16:38):
but you can replace it with regular peanut butter. Four
dollars for a big peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
That's good.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Yeah. Score.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
It took an extra half hour to get back to work,
but I walked in with a big peanut butter and
jelly sandwich and a story about two homeless people up
the i'l poyoko.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Did you see any celebrities in there?
Speaker 3 (17:02):
I remember Tom Looney was so excited because he saw
this obviously years ago. He's dead now, but Keith Jackson
the voice of college football for so many people. And
Keith used to live up in the hills when he
was alive and above us, and he would go and
shop in there. And Looney he told me the story
for like two years, how he saw Keith Jackson looking
(17:23):
at tomatoes at foods.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
At very same whole foods I've seen the award winning
actress Juliet Lewis. No, there you go, handing right in
front of me in line buying a few groceries.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Well, this is Saturday, and we have backscratcher. Let's get
backscratcher on, so you scratch our back. We scratched her back. Now.
Last week we complained that we were still a couple
of reviews away from four hundred, the round number of
four hundred. So Danny g after belly aching and whining
(18:00):
and koviching on the radio ashually the podcast, how many.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Reviews did we get?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Did we get this week five reviews? Did we get
three reviews? Or are we total losers and got no reviews.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Let's go back to Game one of Lakers Nuggets. They
cut that twenty one deficit down to three. I'm gonna
say three, Ben.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
The answer is three. The answer is three. And here
are some of the views. We got five stars from
James in Arkansas. He said, bad choice by you, Ben,
Danny g is right. Cookie dough ice cream is disgusting,
and he said, I love the podkast.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
No, I disagree.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
When I was a little kid, every once in a while, No,
you're not supposed to do this, but my mom would
give me a little cookie dough to eat, and I
didn't die of some kind of weird illness, some food
born illness.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I survived. I prospered in life.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
And so cookie dough it's got to be the right mixture, though,
it's got to be there's a certain proprietary blend. If
there's too much cookie dough, it's a problem. If there's
too much ice cream not enough cookie dough, there's a problem.
But James, you have not had the right mix of
cookie dough ice cream. It's the secret blend that you
(19:25):
need to have.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Raw cookie dough ice cream is the grossest besides pistachio.
That green pistachio ice cream is also nasty, but cookie
does right up there.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
You're wrong. We can agree to disagree on that. That's
a bad take by you, Danny. That's the worst ice
cream take I've ever heard. Wrong.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Now we have from Walt Disney. How about this? Walt
Disney reviewed our podcast.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
Yes, I love when ghosts chime in.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Holy crap, all right, says entertaining show Ben and Danny
G always have something interesting to chat a about, like
homeless people blocking the door at a chicken shack in La. Says,
I work at a school, so I can relate to
Danny G's stories about school. Then has some great life
acts like getting points for using bang.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
That's right. Get your money.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Of course, you have to search every day for a year,
like I do, five six hours a.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Day to get any money, but I do.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
If you have a job like this, and I think
of your teacher, you probably search a lot too. Also,
I says, I listened to this podcast when I'm doing
mundane weekend errands and chores. It's quite entertaining. Keep up
the good work, guys. And that is from calls person Walt.
I'm assuming that's not their real.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Name, but thank you, thank you, mister Disney.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
And the last one is from can.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
You please lower the prices at the park back down
to fifty cents?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yes, so we can actually afford on a radio salary
to go. That would be nice.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Jewles writes in, and she gives us a review and
she says, awesome, five stars. I love listening at night.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Check this out, Danny. When my husband snoring keeps me awake?
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Okay, wear a white noise.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Racist yes, wedded Bliss, Danny g wetted Bliss. May I recommend,
Jules my my wife does not snore, I don't think,
but she does grind her teeth. I recommend a fan
and some kind of either heater or air conditioner in
the background. But you must also continue to listen to
the podcast.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
You can hear teeth grinding.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Oh it's bad, man, It's it's terrible. It's like nails
on a chalkboard.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
But I can only really hear out of one of
my ears, So as long as I turn my head
the other way, I can't really hear it because I
have one. I have one really messed up ear. My
right ear is pretty mess up. My left ear is
not that bad.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Dude, together we are Voltron because my left ear is
bad and my right ear is good.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
There you go, We're perfect. That's made in heaven.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
We've got We'll do a few pop goes the culture stories,
and so we bring in our man, the myth, the legend. Ohio, Aljohn,
(22:31):
all right, thank you, Ohio. Here we go, Tom Hanks.
You see this story this week. Tom Hanks is planning
on living forever. Now, not in flesh. He's not gonna
live forever, but he will be on the big screen forever.
All because Tom Hanks has given the blessing for his image,
(22:53):
his voice, all of that to be recreated in movies
long after Tom Hanks is dead. So if they want
to make another Forrest Gump movie, they can have Tom
Hanks in the movie. Hanks said that he had predicted
twenty years ago that this is the.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Way it's going to go.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
And he said in about twenty three to twenty four,
he was working on the Polar Express and he said
he had it an Epiphany's sixty six years old, and
he's all in. He knows he'll be long gone, but
they'll still make movies and he'll still be in the movies.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
And he's all fired up.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
This is like how the Ben Malor Show is still
going to be on overnights on the network in thirty
five years from now, because there's just going to be
the computerized version of you.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Well spoiler alert. And I don't know that we're allowed
to say this, Danny. I actually stopped doing original audio
content about five years ago.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I made enough money the company and.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
So I actually retired from radio and I live in Hawaii,
on the Island of Kawaii.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I relocated to Hawaii, but I gave.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
The blessing to Don Martin and Scott Shapiro and the
people over there at iHeart. I said, you know what,
just keep keep sending stuff out there and uh and that,
and they said, sure, no problem. Uh so yeah, I'm
I'm fully retired, Nanny. You think I'd do a weekend podcast?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
I mean, are you kidding?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
You know?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
This is all AI?
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Well that explains your old bad basketball takes.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Well, no, those those basketball takes are outstanding, and those
are actually updated. Because the thing about the AI, the
the the company iHeart paid a lot of money for
the AI and so they didn't just hobble around with
some old technology and they know that the the new
listeners to this original audio content. They know that the
Clippers run LA and or is it should I say
(25:04):
the Denver Nuggets run LA. Maybe that's the updated take
on that, Danny, What.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Is still wrong with the Clippers? Anyway?
Speaker 5 (25:12):
Last week it was the Warriors.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Well, listen, I've evolved. If you cannot evolve, Danny G.
You don't want to stay and do the same stuff
over and over again. You have to grow, and you
have to expand, and you have to take quantum leaps
in life sometimes. And right now I'm a Denver Nuggets fan,
and hopefully I'll continue to be a Nuggets fan. But
maybe next week I'll be a Heat fan or a
Celtic fan. I don't know, Loser, I have no idea,
(25:36):
all right. Anyway, So chick fil A very popular Chick
fil A, and they have decided, the company Chick fil A,
that the very first ever Chick fil A location is
not needed anymore, and so they have announced that actually
(25:58):
today today is the day it is scheduled to close.
It was originally established in nineteen sixty seven in Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
And this is the.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Greenbriar Mall in Southwest Atlanta. The first restaurant to use
the Chick fil A name, and it goes back to
the nineteen forties and it's closing its doors.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
It's closing its doors.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
There's a plaque commemorating the restaurant's history, they say there,
but they're they're closing it down. Have you been to
the it's not the original McDonald's, but I believe it's
the oldest operating McDonald's, which is here in Downey.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yeah, in Downey, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Yeah, down in California. There's a little McDonald's museum attached
to it.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
And fun fact, I believe that is the last location
that makes the fried apple pie. Remember when used to
go to McDonald's, you get that fried apple pie and
you burn the roof.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Of your mouth.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Not only get one of them, and get two of
them because they were two for a dollar.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
So good, so good. I love that. Oh it's great.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
I miss those.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Now they bake the apple pie, they don't, it's not
made the same way.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
A lot of the locations don't even have them all together.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
So but I am told that that location the original.
And if you're in southern California, and a lot of
our listeners are Downy, if you want the fried apple Pie.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
That's that's the spot to go. That's the spot.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Speaking of McDonald's, there has been a rule at the
Golden Arches, and this is a pop goes to the
culture story here that if you work at McDonald's, if
you have a customer come in and say, you know
what I want fifteen big Max, I want seventeen fries,
I want milkshakes.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
They are not allowed to accept tips.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
But in Colorado, in Colorado, that may soon change, Danny, Yeah,
because the Department of Labor, as they're working, McDonald's workers
in Colorado may soon be allowed to accept tips.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
And they get into all the details here.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
They say the state of Colorado, there's a new law
that would circumvent the ban on tips, and it says
employers like McDonald's and Walmart would be prohibited from taking
adverse action against any employee who accepts a cash gratuity
(28:41):
offered to buy a patron.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
To the to the business.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
But maybe it was because they were going to unionize,
like the strippers in North Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Oh I did I did hear about that?
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Do you think there'll be any strip clubs left in
North Hollywood by the time this gets done, Danny.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Do you think.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
What do you think you think there'll still be strip
clubs there? Or you're just gonna move to the Van
Eyes and call it a day. Yep, Yeah, anyway, Yeah,
so there's a there's a bill out there.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
We'll see if it passes. I don't I don't want
to offend anyone.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
But if I'm going to Mickey D's to get some
nuggets and some fries, do I really need the tip?
Speaker 1 (29:22):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (29:24):
No?
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Yeah, come on, especially with the cost of food nowadays,
we're already paying double for what we should be paying
for fast food.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Well, there's another food related so a lot of food
related stories and pop go's the culture this week?
Speaker 1 (29:41):
What's up with that? So a competitive eater named Motion
is his that's his nickname.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
He's got a very tough name to pronounce, but he
goes by a notion emotion rather. And this guy was
chowing down at a Golden Corral and kissing me Florida,
formerly the spring training home of the Astros back when
I was.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
A kid and the Asstros.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
He was visiting the city trying to qualify for the
Nathan's Hot Dog Eating contest which is coming up in July,
which means we gotta get Joey Chestnut back on. And
this guy, he went out at the Golden Corral and
his meal included multiple cheeseburgers, pounds of popcorn, shrimp, mac
(30:29):
and cheese, pizza, steak, and French fries. However, as he
was taking part in the massive feast and gorging and
gorging and gorging, the man ended up being banned from
(30:51):
the Golden Corral.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Apparently he a.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Little too far. There's also an issue where he was
like recording. I guess he was recording some of the
employees for the YouTube or for the internet. So yeah,
I have not been to a I don't think I've
ever eaten at a Golden Corral?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Have you ever eaten at a Golden Corral?
Speaker 5 (31:10):
I've been to a Golden Corral before?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Is it worth our time?
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Or I would say that my mom would like it
if I took her to Golden Corral in someplace?
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Our parents like, okay, what about have you been to
the cracker barrel? I've been to the cracker barrel? Before
you ever eaten at a cracker barrel?
Speaker 5 (31:29):
I've never been to a cracker barrel.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
To me, Yeah, there's one in Vegas. There's actually there's
a few. They've They've always.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Was a Southern place, but they've spread across the country.
I've eaten there a couple times. The first time I
eat there, I thought it was amazing. They give you
big portions of food. It's kind of weird though. You
walk in there's a gift shop. It's a strange situation.
But I enjoyed my meal the first time. So we
went back and I was like, oh, we got to
go back, and I hated it. It was like it
(31:59):
was like the shit, like the time of the day
where the shift was changing over and the kitchen staff
was changing over, so the food half the food was cold.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
And it was just nasty. So and I haven't been back.
I've not been back since since that event. I think
that's it. I think we'll get out on that.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
We've got the mail bag tomorrow, but don't forget Tonight
is the night I hopefully will be able to meet
you if you're in the Greater Minneapolis area today five
pm to nine pm at the Malther meet and greet.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
A bunch of cocaine and hookers.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Well, we'll see what happens, Danny. Dead men tell no tales.
I learned that from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
But we will see what happens Mermaid in an event
center tonight.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
It's gonna be a lot of fun and we'll, hopefully,
depending on how the company comes up with some money,
we'll have complete coverage, in depth team coverage. When I
started at Fox Sports Radio, one of our bosses said,
why anytime there's a big story, you have to use
the catchphrase in depth team coverage, and so you know
(33:04):
something's big if you hear in depth team coverage.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
Now, would you like to address the rumors that ESPN
was thinking about using their budget on this post game
versus signing Pat McAfee.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Yeah, it really was.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
It was a toss up and unfortunately the coin came
up with Pat McAfee's face on it and we lost out.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Which is the story of my life, Danny.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
This story of my life as we will get out
on that. Anything you want to promote, Danny, it's Saturday.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Anything at all going.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
On Saturday, just our podcasting. Thank you to everybody downloading
all weekend long.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
We appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Yes, you are my favorite person and the mail bag tomorrow.
We'll catch you next time.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
See you then, have fun tonight. Don't get into trouble.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
That's the whole point. You got to get into trouble.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Danny, A bunch of hookers and cocaine basulation.
