Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kabbooms.
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.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
The Clearinghouse of hot takes break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
In the air everywhere. Hey, you have found the Fifth
Hour with Ben Mallor and Danny g Radio. And boy
do we thank you for that means a lot. This
a spinoff of the Ben Mallor Show. That's the overnight
show that I do with my name in it and
only available. We're only here on the podcast, and we're
(00:50):
here every single f and day, no days off. We're
back at the audio salt mindes Danny. Of course you
hear him during the week with Coveno and Rich and
he is not in southern California today. Now, Danny, you're
living Lavina Loca, my man.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Oh, Ben, you should see the hotel suite right now.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
A bunch of hookers and cocaine.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
It has been a really good weekend, so far, and
this is gonna be the first major fight I've ever attended. Ben,
I've seen like amateur fights. Never have I seen the
ilk of a Canelo. I'm jealous. I am absolutely jealous. Danny,
Is this like a Scott Parrell? Remember we had Pharrell
on the podcast and he was laying in a bed
(01:35):
in New.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Jersey covered in money. He claimed he had won. I
was wild, but the.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Only podcast guest you've ever interviewed where he had to
keep ducking away from the interview to do a line
and then come right back and answer your question.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yeah, it was a very interesting conversation with Pharrell. He's
a guy's a legend for a reason. But you can
go back and hear that in the archive. Goulcha Man,
I'd but the fight thing back in the nineties. I
used to go to fights semi regularly nineties, in the
early two thousands, and then it all of a sudden
stopped and I haven't been since. It's probably it's been
(02:15):
over twenty years since I've been to a fight. But
I went to Mike Tyson fights, lenox Lewis who else
trying to That's the Golden boy. Oscar de la Hoya,
a bunch of bunch of fights, I mean big time
fighters of that era and had had a great time
and the Tyson fights and the heavyweight fights. It was
(02:36):
insane because Vegas it was pimps and hoes in the
air everywhere. It was such an f and wild scene.
Come on, Pippin'. It was an education, Danny And know
times are different, but I bet you it's the same
similar situation. If you go around tonight before the fight
(03:00):
and you just kind of soak in all of the
this Vegas strip in that area, and I'm sure you're
gonna see some very interesting cats.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It's crazy to think that's why Supac got after that
Tyson fight way back in the day. And as you
saw that breaking news yesterday, they finally arrested somebody in
connection to his death all these years later.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, well him and Biggie right, he got murdered in La.
They never I don't think they solved that one. Well,
it's been almost a generation, so yeah, you know, we
don't know how old the person was, but if the
person was in their thirties at that time, then they're
in their sixties now right or close to it. Maybe
(03:47):
they were younger, but still I mean, it's a long
and if they were into that kind of thing where
they're shooting people, who knows that they're even around anymore? Right,
probably not on the Saturday Pot, which would be today's pot.
I've got the Chicken Shag the third monologue, a new
feature that I think we've we've we've messed around with
this in the past, I don't think we've actually done
(04:07):
it a full block. We're calling it footy Fun and
we have Pop Goes, the Culture and possibly Backscratcher. So
a lot to get to. We'll start with this The
Life of Malar, the Life of Danny GE's. So I
love to futs around in the kitchen and play around.
I've been Benny the Baker for a while. I haven't
(04:29):
done that because I got too fat. I was getting
fat again eating all the cookies and stuff that I've
been baking. So I shifted over to you know, Pete.
I did a lot of pizzas you know, some of
my meals this latest weekend, I went with the ripoff
raising canes chicken fingers. And if you follow the show,
(04:53):
follow me on Facebook. Ben Maller's Show. Make sure the
show's in there. If you follow me, on instag gram,
Ben Maller on Fox I put out some photos. So
this is my ripoff raising canes recipe from scratch, and
I think it came out pretty good. It's visually, I
(05:15):
think I nailed it. And I have a future, Danny.
When people realize I'm bad at radio and television, I
can become a food photographer. That's my future. I don't
know if you saw the photos I did.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
But that that all can be staged. So my question
is when you broke open those chicken fingers, was the
chicken nice and juicy inside? Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
It was wonderful, No, it was really it was really good.
I don't want to pat myself on the back too much,
but it was the right crunch you know. Crime We
put pinko in there, and we had corn starch, you know,
every trick flour corn starch. I think we had pink
If I remember, there's all the stuff that you can
(06:01):
use to get crap really crunchy. And so that was
pretty good. Cut up the chicken myself there and the
little bits, and the great thing about chicken strips is
a little chicken goes a long way because most of
it's just breading and all that, and so of course
people are then busting my balls, right, they're giving me,
(06:22):
they give me a hard time, and they're like, hey,
wait a minute, here, where's the cane sauce?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Where where's the cane sauce? And I'm like, wait a
minute here, I don't need cane sauce. If you make chicken,
you know, as the guy, the connoisseur Danny of the
chicken Shack, the Mallard chicken shack, if you make the
chicken properly, you don't need stuff. Now, I'm not against sauce.
I've not taken an anti sauce position. My only position
is anti range. I am okay with sauce, and some
(06:53):
of the chicken I did use honey mustard. I think
honey mustard is great. I could have made rip off
canes dipping sauce. I chose not to. I chose not to.
Now next time, just to shut up you idiots, maybe
I will. Maybe I will make a ripoff cane sauce.
But anyway, it made a ton of chicken, only, you know,
(07:14):
one small pack of chicken from the grocery store which
doesn't cost that much, and some flour. The ingredients by
the way, I'm not going to do cooking with Roberto
here and give out the whole recipe. But it's it
was kind of a hybrid of chick not Chicki Popeyes canes.
It involved creating a marinade with butter milk and hot
(07:37):
sauce and kosher salt and eggs, and there was all
kinds of I had occasion seasoning in there to spice
it up. A little paprika, cayenne, peppa.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Man, you're making me hungry.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Corn starch flour, as I said, and put all that together,
and hey, it came out pretty pretty good. So who
knows what I'll I'll make next. But so, yeah, you
saw the photos. That's that's it. So we made a
lot of chicken ate eight well, and then I fasted
for three days this week, Danny. I made it seventy
(08:11):
two hours without eating a bite of food because I
ate fried chicken over the weekend. So I had to
go three days to starve myself. Because I'm a loser.
I am such a radio loser. I'm such a loser.
Maybe I could do a third monologue, Danny, Maybe I
should do a third monologue. What do you think?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
A few nights ago. We passed like two ships. In
the middle of the night. I was in the production
studio at Fox Sports Radio. You were getting ready to
start your show. Now. I had been there since one
o'clock in the afternoon. What happened is it was Covino
and Riches one year anniversary doing afternoon Drive.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I love the Covino and rich Show.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I told my girl, I said, I've been setting this
up for weeks, going through archives and working with Veto
and Ricky and Bob the voice of the network, so
that I could get all of the audio pieces in
line to put together a huge audio collage of some
of the greatest and funniest moments that they had on
(09:16):
the air of the past twelve months, and even prior
to that, some of the stuff they did on Sunday Night.
To show how it all started.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Gabriel Davis, like.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
You talk about an audio puzzle, fifty audio pieces in
front of me on the Adobe audition computers at the network.
And the hard part was I had to figure out
how to put this audio puzzle together, put original music
underneath each piece, put drops and bells and whistles, and
(09:57):
really was exhausting, but in a fun way because as
you know, Ben, when you get to look back on
funny moments and drops and things like that, that's what
we live for because we're audio guys. Yeah, until you
sold out and went to the television side.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Well that's true, and you do the same.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Thing I would. Oh, I definitely would.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
So better money, less work, better money.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah, you have to comb your hair and you have
to wash your face, but it's way better money.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I was actually talking to Jonas about this. We're like
anybody that does what we do in radio. Television is
like the junior varsity in terms of work that you
have to put Like, radio is so much more difficult
to master. Yes, de vision and people don't understand that,
but it's true, and I'm not just saying that as
a blowhard. Radio is a much more difficult medium. It
(10:48):
just is.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Longer, longer blocks of content to fill. You have to
be able to entertain the masses through just your voice.
You don't have a screen behind you, you don't have graphics,
you don't have teleprompters, you don't have the big support
staff that you have with television. So you're exactly right.
(11:12):
There's guys that were big stars on TV and then
they tried to do radio and they fell flat on
their faces.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yeah, did not go well. Did not go well. And
but if you go the other way, go from radio
to TV, you're you're in good shape. But I got
I got carious, so you're you're in there. I was wondering, like,
what the f is he doing here? Did he get lost?
And then I thought, you know, I was. I had
to run into the other studio and well, maybe you'll
come by, and someone was going because I had to,
you know, mo, move over.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I didn't get to say goodbye because when I left,
and this was right before I got a text saying
are you alive for my wife?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
You don't like that, you don't want to get that tech.
I get that text.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Right before I got that text. You were in the
middle of your third monologue.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Really you were. You were there for the first three
hours of the show, crazy.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I really was. It was like old times. I got
to hear you opining on lots of different topics, and
once you started your third monologue, I was like, shit,
I got to get out of here. So it turned
out really good. The guys loved it. The listeners really
had fun listening to all those fun memories from the
(12:24):
past couple of years, and so it was well worth it.
But like you, I started off my week really strange
to where I only slept a couple of hours, you know,
into the next work day, and then it's like you're
behind the eight ball and you're trying to catch up
for the rest of the week.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yeah, it's a it's an iman and I would like
to send a message. You can pass this on to
your friend's Covino and Rich there from the Ben Mahler Show.
The staff of the show, the Benettes would like to
thank Covino and Rich because I walked into the studio
and Coop is eating cake, Like, what the fuck are
(13:02):
you doing eating cake? You know? I mean who brought
the cake in? He's, oh, yeah, there's some cake over
there in the in the kitchen, and then we talked
about it on the air and I guess you guys,
Covino and Rich had a cake. You guys had a
cake there to celebrate the one year anniversary, and even
Eddie partaked in the cake and let them eat cake.
(13:22):
Let there be cake, and uh yeah, so the guys
enjoyed the cake. So thanks. I didn't need any because
I'm a loser, but it looked really good and.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Cake by the ocean. It was a good one and
it went fast. There's been times where there's a cake
that'll stay in our break room. This one went in
twenty four hours. They picked a good one.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yeah, it was a When Coop went over there to
get it, it was a cake walk. But I'm bumped.
There you go. We'll be here all weekend.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
You'll be here till Saturday. Oh shit, it's Saturday. You're fired. O.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Wait, we're gonna you know what we're doing. We're going
to play Patty cake is what we're going to do.
He cake and uh yeah, we'll go to the.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Just put the icing on that bad joke.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Oh, there you go. But I'm bump all right. Uh
that's cool. Well, good job putting the work in there.
I hope the boys appreciated your efforts and the marketing
of you putting the audio together and all that. We
have foody fun, foody fun for everyone, and I've determined
(14:32):
that this might be a regular feature on the show.
We like to rotate things. We have Safari Kingdom. We
haven't done that in a while. Scientifically, we haven't done
that very often. Pop goes the culture. Will do that
in a little bit. We'll do some pop goes to culture.
We what other bits do we have? We have, oh,
the quiz that we haven't done in.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
A while, Word of the Week, Phrase of the Week.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah. Yeah, so we've got some some different things. But anyway,
the the pop quiz. But this is something we're gonna
messing around. Let us know what you think in the
comments section, or send me an email and say, hey,
I like this, you should do this more often, or
that was terrible. Didn't listen to a second You suck.
So these are food stories because I figured we all
have to eat. Not much, but we all have to eat.
(15:17):
So this is something I've always wanted. I love onion rings, Dandy,
do you like onion rings? I do good onion rings.
I love them, and a lot of places.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Especially in the middle of a burger like Carls Junior
and Harty's. Yeah, what's that in that Western bacon cheeseburger,
and it is magical.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I love burgers with onion rings also, and but I'll
eat if they're well made. I'll just eat on your
rings on the one ranch. Wash your mouth that with
soap and water. There's no need for ranch anyway. So
I was wonder I've always wanted, like, why the hell
does McDonald's not have onion rings? You know, get the
(15:55):
big mac at and onion ring to it, get the
quarter powder with cheese. So I finally found the answer.
A former McDonald's corporate chef has revealed why McDonald's has
never had onion rings on the menu.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Did you see this, Danny, because there are a bunch
of losers.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Well no, Well the reason is they're they're cheap. They
want to they want to make money. They have to
keep the stockholders happy. So McDonald's they make the most
of their profits, according to this guy who was a
corporate chef, and I guess in Chicago where they're headquartered.
There their most efficient, most profitable. They have a scale.
(16:35):
And so the reason they've not had onion rings, he said,
think of how many less people would order the fries
and would then order onion rings instead, he explained, And
he said, because of how many fries McDonald sells, and
because of how efficient they are. But here's the kicker,
the most important part the profitability, meaning the write up,
(16:59):
the markup on how much they charge for the fries
and how much it costs for the potatoes. They mark
it up so much they make such a profit margin
on that. They're so paranoid at McDonald's about adding onion
rings and that would cut down on the sale of
the fries. And but wouldn't they be able to mark
(17:20):
up the onion rings, wouldn't that? How about it as
a seasonal item like the McRib where you bring it
back every so often. Wouldn't would that kill them that
have the mc onion? Would that be such a bad thing?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Yeah, I guess the way they started when it was
pretty much a simple menu, and I know it expanded
later on. You've seen the movie about Ray Kroc. They
just wanted to do burgers and fries and coke burgers
and fries, and they did master those fries. I mean,
there is nothing like hot McDonald's French fries that are fresh.
(17:57):
I mean, we've all had bad batches, but when they're good,
there is nothing like them. So I guess I can
see why you wouldn't want to water that down if
you're McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
It's the same thing. This guy named Harry Snyder, he
was the founder of In and Out Burger, In and Out,
In and out. That's what a hamburger is all about anyway.
So his model and in and Out still follows this.
It's do one thing and do it well. And they
opened up first in and Out Baldwin Park, Baldwin Park
(18:32):
other than San Gabriel. But I used to live not
far from the original In and Out Burger, and they
had three items on the menu when they started, burgers, fries,
and shakes.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Do they have.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Anything else that in and Out other than burgers, fries
and shakes today?
Speaker 3 (18:47):
I mean they have their secret menu and you could
get like a grilled cheese, but ingredients that would be
used for some of the burgers. So no, I mean
they've kept it simple and look out much it's paid
off for them.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Yeah, it's a cult. It's like Taylor Swift has her cult.
The Swifties and the in and Out people have their cult.
Here's more foody fun. A McDonald's worker this week has
revealed that the egg and hotcakes are not made fresh.
They are not made fresh. Oh boy, Yeah, devastating news.
(19:22):
This comes from the world of TikTok. I'll have to
check with alf on this, but a content creator there
McDonald's worker, I guess we're all content creators. That just
sounds cool, doesn't it. Content creator? And then you realize
all you have to do is have an account on
a social media platform. Anyway, this person let people know
(19:43):
that McDonald's already they pre make. The items are pre
made when they arrive at the restaurant. They're pre made.
Items include folded eggs that McDonald's uses in the biscuit breakfast,
sandwich and the mcgriddle. And this person should the sealed
packages containing the pre cooked square shaped eggs in the video.
(20:07):
Oh my god, Danny, I'm looking at it right now.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Just recently on one of our podcasts, I complained about
how much their breakfast costs nowadays, and you're telling me
it's not even fresh those guys.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
No it's not. I'm looking at the pancakes. They're in
a plastic bag. And then the egg there's the uh,
the egg thing that's in a plastic bag. Yeah, that's all.
You know.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
They need to get on in and outs level, because
anyone who says it's overhyped, it wasn't that great For
the price point and the quality of in and out,
it is great.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
What do we have more on foody fun? We've got
McDonald's revealing a new sweet and Spicy Jam sauce and
Mambo sauce coming out October ninth. So that's exciting.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
What up into their big Mac sauce? That was like
some big rollout. It lasted for a few weeks, it
seemed like, and then it disappeared.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Yeah, I don't know. I have to look into that.
Maybe for the next foodie fun I'll look into that.
Here's one KFC, better known by its formal name Kentucky
Fried Chicken, testing a new smashed potato bowl in Pittsburgh.
So if you're in Pittsburgh, you can have at certain
locations a smashed potato bowl.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
What up, Pete, go get one when you're hungover.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Which is seven days a week. I think I believe
seven days of me. I don't know what else do
we have here. We've got Taco bell is adding vegan
sauce to their nacho fries. I'm a nacho fried guy,
but it makes little sense for Taco bell to use
(21:51):
a vegan sauce. Here's why. The number of vegetarians not
vegans vegetarians somewhere between five and six percent. The number
of vegans is even less than that. So like, what
are we doing here? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Yeah, I'm not a fan of those taco bell fries.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
What.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
I just don't like him?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
It's bad. Take Yeah, all right, now you're in Vegas, Danny.
Here's a quickly the number one taco spot in America
was just unveiled by yelp. H oh, and it is
in Henderson, Nevada. Let's go, gotta go man, you you
and Coveno Rich. It's called Aroma Latin American Cosina or
(22:39):
Coachina c C I n A, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Racist. That's a mouthful.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah, Aroma Latin American. Uh coodeana. This is mostly the
spot serving the top tacos in America, Cordy yelp. So
you want hot tacos, Danny, you can go over there.
All right, we'll move on from Foody. I also, oh
we we we pitched a shutout, Danny, were short on times,
we pitched a shutout on backscratching. We were doing so
(23:08):
well and now we got none. We got none this week.
That's the Apple podcast page will help us out. Means
a lot if you haven't done it yet, or if
you haven't done it in a while. Go over to
the Apple podcast page and it's been a couple of minutes. Right,
a little review. It does help us out. Pop goes
the culture That means ohio al jog jog, All right,
(23:40):
a couple of pop goes the culture stories Danny. We
start out with a classic story about a celebrity NBA fan.
Most people know him more as a musician, Drake. Did
you see what Drake had with him when he showed
up to the ballet in Atlanta?
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Two hotties, one on each side.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Oh no, no, no, you don't bring sand to the beach, dandy.
He showed up holding a tupperware container. Hey, where are
the white women at?
Speaker 3 (24:08):
What?
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yeah? Was he giving meat loaf for? Was he giving
mac and cheese to the to the dancers there? The
ballet dancers. No, turns out Drake showed up with a
tupperware container containing two hundred and fifty thousand dollars geez,
that he was going to donate to the performers there,
(24:30):
the struggling college students who are shaking what their mama
gave him. They're doing their version of the tush push
And so yeah, how about that?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Yeah? And I wonder how much money he's invested in tupperware.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
How excited must those dancers at the ballet have been
when he comes in there with that kind of dough.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Right, Oh, hallelujah, that's a pay day.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
That is my rent, that is my my I'm going
to buy a house with some of that money, all right.
This one's wild man. This next story, Pop goes the
culture a random man. This is not a US, not
a US story, Danny, but they a man goes to
the hospital complaining about having stomach pain. So they take
(25:18):
the guy in, they do some x rays. They're like,
what's going on here? We got to figure this out.
This is in I believe it's in India. If I
have this story credit, I believe he's a India. So
they use usual tests and whatnot, and the guy says
he was suffering from stomach pain for like two years.
(25:41):
Doctors look inside. This guy had ingested sixty household items
that he had in his gut. Guy's thirty five years old,
and he went to the hospital. He was concerned he
had some kind of terminal cancer, a stomach cancer at
(26:02):
age thirty five. So they scanned him and they discovered chains, nuts, bolts, earphones,
safety pins, magnets, shirt shirt buttons, zips, and I mean,
(26:22):
you know I'm gonna send you this. I'm going to
send you this.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Danny.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
You got to see the photo of the crap that
was in This seems like it's out of a.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Horror movie, a human dyce in What the hell?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah, it says this guy suffers from a medical condition.
He was diagnosed with a condition called pica picka I
believe it is, or pika. It is a mental health
condition where the sufferer compulsively swallows items that aren't food.
(26:56):
Holy fuck. This is a cord of the Even when
clinic says most common it's young children. Yeah, I think
kids put crap in their mouth, says pregnant women. And
people with psychiatric disorders, Well we'll do this, they say, schizophrenia. Also,
I didn't even know you could swallow some of those items.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Nothing like a juicy lego.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
He just I don't know if you're looking at the photo.
I said to Danny, but that there are some very
large whoa, there's like a bottle opener, like one of
those big metal bottle openers.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
There's a everything is laid out on a table. This
reminds me of that old Brady Bunch episode where Bobby
had to empty out his pockets.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
There you go, I remember, I do remember that. Yeah,
that was that was good. That is How do you
swallow some of that stuff? I can't imagine. It looks
like there's a big pen, like a full size pen there.
What about the thing in the upper left hand corner, Dan,
it looks like it looks like a donut, but a
(28:06):
metal donut, like a full sized metal donut.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
This looks like the very bottom of a very busy toolbox.
And somebody dumped the toolbox out and then got all
the crap that was at the bottom of the toolbox
and dumped it out on a sheet. That's what it
looks like. And most of this stuff is sharp and jagged.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
That is That is next level. That is next level,
all right? Next up on pop goes the culture. You
can look that up. Just google it, kids, just google it. Yeah,
you can find that story. So a city, let's see
if you can figure out which city. I wonder if
you've seen this story. A city has become the first
of the nation to recognize the legal rights of animals.
(28:52):
You want to take a guess which state nanny this
city is in the first city in America to recognize
the legal rights of a non human animal.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
God, it's got to be our state that we live in.
That is that is correct, Danny, Okay, California Winter Chicken Dinner.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
The People's Republic of California, the city of Ohi, ah
oj oh j oh Hi. They adopted an ordinance introduced
by a council member there named Leslie Rule who I
don't know. That is District one developed with the Non
Human Rights Project. The ordinance defines the projects elephants rights
(29:40):
to liberty. It says it's indisputable that elephants suffer when
deprived of their freedom, and the animal welfare laws can't
end their suffering, and so it says, for elephants in
the non human animal rights movement, we are proud to
support the first of its kind ordinance, and we command
(30:01):
the Ohi City Council for standing up to what's necessary
and just.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
How many elephants do they have at Ohi?
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Well, I don't want to talk about the women there, Danny,
but if you want to, you can you can do that. No, I.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Have no on there's some hippie women over the mountains there,
but I don't know about elephants.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
I was enforced, Danny. You think they're going to go
The elephants are going to self report they're not getting
their liberty. What do you think they do? The elephants
use their tusk and throw feces to alert the alert
the people. Hey, I'm not getting my liberty over here.
Help me out. Give me some peanuts or something. I
need peanuts. Last one. We'll get out on this. And
(30:45):
oh what a story it is. Elon Musk has taken
this satellite thing to the next level. He pretty much
owns the heavens at this point. Now they have this
Starlink satellite Internet thing. I was unaware of this, but
there are almost not that. According to this there are
(31:06):
almost five thousand Starlink satellites that are hovering over Earth.
Keep in mind that there are only around nine thousand
stars visible on Earth's sky, so they are convinced within
a few years, at the rate Elon Musk is sending
these satellites up, there will be more satellites in space.
(31:31):
From Elon Musk is Starlink Internet, then there are stars
that we can see.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
This guy's a monster. Someone needs to stop them. Is insane.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
They're they're like talking about also the long term ramifications
of space junk and what's gonna happen because these things
don't last forever. It says that the Starlink satellite, each
of these things is about the size of a dining
room table, or a better comparison would be if you're
(32:07):
a fan of the nineteen eighties professional wrestling, each one
is about the size the weight of Andre the Giant. Yeah,
it says space not is not overcrowded. We humans are
just really crap at understanding scale and numbers. Suppose I
don't know, but it's pretty wild to think that space
(32:28):
junk and space debris left by humans stuck in the
orbit and all this stuff. The objects orbit travel about
fifteen thousand miles per hour, fast enough that of a
small piece collider with a satellite or spaceship to cast
some serious damage. So how did they get rid of
(32:48):
that stuff? Do they just stay in orbit forever? I
don't know. I'm not that smart. I have no idea anyway.
All right, we'll get out here in Vegas, Danny, So
we'll get the hell out here. Obviously, Covino and Rich
anything live today? Is it just a podcast? You're doing
there today. You're going to fight tonight.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Yeah, today, we have a special fight Day podcast that's
gonna be available anywhere you get your podcasts from, just Google,
Covino and Rich Fox Sports Radio podcast. Tonight, we will
get to be there in the house to watch Canelo
and this Charlo dude, Ben. He's got a twin brother.
(33:25):
They're both really good fighters. The other Charlo brothers the
stronger one. This is the one who's slicker in the ring,
so he could give Canelo some problems. But most boxing
experts think Canelo is gonna win tonight.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Well, Canelo's the bigger name, and you usually go with
the bigger name. So if I wanted to watch said fight,
is this a typical late night Was it eight o'clock
West Coast time?
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Yes, this is a showtime pay per view.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
All right, very good, So enjoy that. If you check
that out, maybe I'll check that out. I don't know
what I'm doing, and today it's my day of rest.
I need to decompress from my craziness with all the
different nonsense. Don't forget Benny versus the Penny, Benny versus
the Penny. Check your local TV listings. If you don't
have it on your local TV, check out direct TV.
It's available Fubo TV, and boy, that would really help
(34:18):
us out. It will help me out a lot if
you watch the show. It means a lot to me.
And it's a new show and I want to make
sure that you know it does pretty well and get
some people over there that say, hey, why don't we
do another year of Benny Versus the Penny. Anyway, have
a great day and we'll catch you next time.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
I'll be watching your show from my Vegas hotel room.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Hey, Danny, by the way, if you're in a sports book,
take a photo, because sometimes you know, they oh, that
would be like the coolest bucket list if they accidentally
put Benny Versus the Penny up in a sports book
in Vegas. Man, would that be awesome. You gotta keep
an eye on that when you walk through the.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Books, Danny, Okay, I definitely will.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
We'll catch you next time.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Yeah. Ester Pastor Baslation
Kabbooms.
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.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
The Clearinghouse of hot takes break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
In the air everywhere. Hey, you have found the Fifth
Hour with Ben Mallor and Danny g Radio. And boy
do we thank you for that means a lot. This
a spinoff of the Ben Mallor Show. That's the overnight
show that I do with my name in it and
only available. We're only here on the podcast, and we're
(00:50):
here every single f and day, no days off. We're
back at the audio salt mindes Danny. Of course you
hear him during the week with Coveno and Rich and
he is not in southern California today. Now, Danny, you're
living Lavina Loca, my man.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Oh, Ben, you should see the hotel suite right now.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
A bunch of hookers and cocaine.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
It has been a really good weekend, so far, and
this is gonna be the first major fight I've ever attended. Ben,
I've seen like amateur fights. Never have I seen the
ilk of a Canelo. I'm jealous. I am absolutely jealous. Danny,
Is this like a Scott Parrell? Remember we had Pharrell
on the podcast and he was laying in a bed
(01:35):
in New.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Jersey covered in money. He claimed he had won. I
was wild, but the.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Only podcast guest you've ever interviewed where he had to
keep ducking away from the interview to do a line
and then come right back and answer your question.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yeah, it was a very interesting conversation with Pharrell. He's
a guy's a legend for a reason. But you can
go back and hear that in the archive. Goulcha Man,
I'd but the fight thing back in the nineties. I
used to go to fights semi regularly nineties, in the
early two thousands, and then it all of a sudden
stopped and I haven't been since. It's probably it's been
(02:15):
over twenty years since I've been to a fight. But
I went to Mike Tyson fights, lenox Lewis who else
trying to That's the Golden boy. Oscar de la Hoya,
a bunch of bunch of fights, I mean big time
fighters of that era and had had a great time
and the Tyson fights and the heavyweight fights. It was
(02:36):
insane because Vegas it was pimps and hoes in the
air everywhere. It was such an f and wild scene.
Come on, Pippin'. It was an education, Danny And know
times are different, but I bet you it's the same
similar situation. If you go around tonight before the fight
(03:00):
and you just kind of soak in all of the
this Vegas strip in that area, and I'm sure you're
gonna see some very interesting cats.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It's crazy to think that's why Supac got after that
Tyson fight way back in the day. And as you
saw that breaking news yesterday, they finally arrested somebody in
connection to his death all these years later.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, well him and Biggie right, he got murdered in La.
They never I don't think they solved that one. Well,
it's been almost a generation, so yeah, you know, we
don't know how old the person was, but if the
person was in their thirties at that time, then they're
in their sixties now right or close to it. Maybe
(03:47):
they were younger, but still I mean, it's a long
and if they were into that kind of thing where
they're shooting people, who knows that they're even around anymore? Right,
probably not on the Saturday Pot, which would be today's pot.
I've got the Chicken Shag the third monologue, a new
feature that I think we've we've we've messed around with
this in the past, I don't think we've actually done
(04:07):
it a full block. We're calling it footy Fun and
we have Pop Goes, the Culture and possibly Backscratcher. So
a lot to get to. We'll start with this The
Life of Malar, the Life of Danny GE's. So I
love to futs around in the kitchen and play around.
I've been Benny the Baker for a while. I haven't
(04:29):
done that because I got too fat. I was getting
fat again eating all the cookies and stuff that I've
been baking. So I shifted over to you know, Pete.
I did a lot of pizzas you know, some of
my meals this latest weekend, I went with the ripoff
raising canes chicken fingers. And if you follow the show,
(04:53):
follow me on Facebook. Ben Maller's Show. Make sure the
show's in there. If you follow me, on instag gram,
Ben Maller on Fox I put out some photos. So
this is my ripoff raising canes recipe from scratch, and
I think it came out pretty good. It's visually, I
(05:15):
think I nailed it. And I have a future, Danny.
When people realize I'm bad at radio and television, I
can become a food photographer. That's my future. I don't
know if you saw the photos I did.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
But that that all can be staged. So my question
is when you broke open those chicken fingers, was the
chicken nice and juicy inside? Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
It was wonderful, No, it was really it was really good.
I don't want to pat myself on the back too much,
but it was the right crunch you know. Crime We
put pinko in there, and we had corn starch, you know,
every trick flour corn starch. I think we had pink
If I remember, there's all the stuff that you can
(06:01):
use to get crap really crunchy. And so that was
pretty good. Cut up the chicken myself there and the
little bits, and the great thing about chicken strips is
a little chicken goes a long way because most of
it's just breading and all that, and so of course
people are then busting my balls, right, they're giving me,
(06:22):
they give me a hard time, and they're like, hey,
wait a minute, here, where's the cane sauce?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Where where's the cane sauce? And I'm like, wait a
minute here, I don't need cane sauce. If you make chicken,
you know, as the guy, the connoisseur Danny of the
chicken Shack, the Mallard chicken shack, if you make the
chicken properly, you don't need stuff. Now, I'm not against sauce.
I've not taken an anti sauce position. My only position
is anti range. I am okay with sauce, and some
(06:53):
of the chicken I did use honey mustard. I think
honey mustard is great. I could have made rip off
canes dipping sauce. I chose not to. I chose not to.
Now next time, just to shut up you idiots, maybe
I will. Maybe I will make a ripoff cane sauce.
But anyway, it made a ton of chicken, only, you know,
(07:14):
one small pack of chicken from the grocery store which
doesn't cost that much, and some flour. The ingredients by
the way, I'm not going to do cooking with Roberto
here and give out the whole recipe. But it's it
was kind of a hybrid of chick not Chicki Popeyes canes.
It involved creating a marinade with butter milk and hot
(07:37):
sauce and kosher salt and eggs, and there was all
kinds of I had occasion seasoning in there to spice
it up. A little paprika, cayenne, peppa.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Man, you're making me hungry.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Corn starch flour, as I said, and put all that together,
and hey, it came out pretty pretty good. So who
knows what I'll I'll make next. But so, yeah, you
saw the photos. That's that's it. So we made a
lot of chicken ate eight well, and then I fasted
for three days this week, Danny. I made it seventy
(08:11):
two hours without eating a bite of food because I
ate fried chicken over the weekend. So I had to
go three days to starve myself. Because I'm a loser.
I am such a radio loser. I'm such a loser.
Maybe I could do a third monologue, Danny, Maybe I
should do a third monologue. What do you think?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
A few nights ago. We passed like two ships. In
the middle of the night. I was in the production
studio at Fox Sports Radio. You were getting ready to
start your show. Now. I had been there since one
o'clock in the afternoon. What happened is it was Covino
and Riches one year anniversary doing afternoon Drive.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I love the Covino and rich Show.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I told my girl, I said, I've been setting this
up for weeks, going through archives and working with Veto
and Ricky and Bob the voice of the network, so
that I could get all of the audio pieces in
line to put together a huge audio collage of some
of the greatest and funniest moments that they had on
(09:16):
the air of the past twelve months, and even prior
to that, some of the stuff they did on Sunday Night.
To show how it all started.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Gabriel Davis, like.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
You talk about an audio puzzle, fifty audio pieces in
front of me on the Adobe audition computers at the network.
And the hard part was I had to figure out
how to put this audio puzzle together, put original music
underneath each piece, put drops and bells and whistles, and
(09:57):
really was exhausting, but in a fun way because as
you know, Ben, when you get to look back on
funny moments and drops and things like that, that's what
we live for because we're audio guys. Yeah, until you
sold out and went to the television side.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Well that's true, and you do the same.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Thing I would. Oh, I definitely would.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
So better money, less work, better money.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah, you have to comb your hair and you have
to wash your face, but it's way better money.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I was actually talking to Jonas about this. We're like
anybody that does what we do in radio. Television is
like the junior varsity in terms of work that you
have to put Like, radio is so much more difficult
to master. Yes, de vision and people don't understand that,
but it's true, and I'm not just saying that as
a blowhard. Radio is a much more difficult medium. It
(10:48):
just is.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Longer, longer blocks of content to fill. You have to
be able to entertain the masses through just your voice.
You don't have a screen behind you, you don't have graphics,
you don't have teleprompters, you don't have the big support
staff that you have with television. So you're exactly right.
(11:12):
There's guys that were big stars on TV and then
they tried to do radio and they fell flat on
their faces.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yeah, did not go well. Did not go well. And
but if you go the other way, go from radio
to TV, you're you're in good shape. But I got
I got carious, so you're you're in there. I was wondering, like,
what the f is he doing here? Did he get lost?
And then I thought, you know, I was. I had
to run into the other studio and well, maybe you'll
come by, and someone was going because I had to,
you know, mo, move over.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I didn't get to say goodbye because when I left,
and this was right before I got a text saying
are you alive for my wife?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
You don't like that, you don't want to get that tech.
I get that text.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Right before I got that text. You were in the
middle of your third monologue.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Really you were. You were there for the first three
hours of the show, crazy.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I really was. It was like old times. I got
to hear you opining on lots of different topics, and
once you started your third monologue, I was like, shit,
I got to get out of here. So it turned
out really good. The guys loved it. The listeners really
had fun listening to all those fun memories from the
(12:24):
past couple of years, and so it was well worth it.
But like you, I started off my week really strange
to where I only slept a couple of hours, you know,
into the next work day, and then it's like you're
behind the eight ball and you're trying to catch up
for the rest of the week.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yeah, it's a it's an iman and I would like
to send a message. You can pass this on to
your friend's Covino and Rich there from the Ben Mahler Show.
The staff of the show, the Benettes would like to
thank Covino and Rich because I walked into the studio
and Coop is eating cake, Like, what the fuck are
(13:02):
you doing eating cake? You know? I mean who brought
the cake in? He's, oh, yeah, there's some cake over
there in the in the kitchen, and then we talked
about it on the air and I guess you guys,
Covino and Rich had a cake. You guys had a
cake there to celebrate the one year anniversary, and even
Eddie partaked in the cake and let them eat cake.
(13:22):
Let there be cake, and uh yeah, so the guys
enjoyed the cake. So thanks. I didn't need any because
I'm a loser, but it looked really good and.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Cake by the ocean. It was a good one and
it went fast. There's been times where there's a cake
that'll stay in our break room. This one went in
twenty four hours. They picked a good one.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yeah, it was a When Coop went over there to
get it, it was a cake walk. But I'm bumped.
There you go. We'll be here all weekend.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
You'll be here till Saturday. Oh shit, it's Saturday. You're fired. O.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Wait, we're gonna you know what we're doing. We're going
to play Patty cake is what we're going to do.
He cake and uh yeah, we'll go to the.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Just put the icing on that bad joke.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Oh, there you go. But I'm bump all right. Uh
that's cool. Well, good job putting the work in there.
I hope the boys appreciated your efforts and the marketing
of you putting the audio together and all that. We
have foody fun, foody fun for everyone, and I've determined
(14:32):
that this might be a regular feature on the show.
We like to rotate things. We have Safari Kingdom. We
haven't done that in a while. Scientifically, we haven't done
that very often. Pop goes the culture. Will do that
in a little bit. We'll do some pop goes to culture.
We what other bits do we have? We have, oh,
the quiz that we haven't done in.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
A while, Word of the Week, Phrase of the Week.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah. Yeah, so we've got some some different things. But anyway,
the the pop quiz. But this is something we're gonna
messing around. Let us know what you think in the
comments section, or send me an email and say, hey,
I like this, you should do this more often, or
that was terrible. Didn't listen to a second You suck.
So these are food stories because I figured we all
have to eat. Not much, but we all have to eat.
(15:17):
So this is something I've always wanted. I love onion rings, Dandy,
do you like onion rings? I do good onion rings.
I love them, and a lot of places.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Especially in the middle of a burger like Carls Junior
and Harty's. Yeah, what's that in that Western bacon cheeseburger,
and it is magical.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I love burgers with onion rings also, and but I'll
eat if they're well made. I'll just eat on your
rings on the one ranch. Wash your mouth that with
soap and water. There's no need for ranch anyway. So
I was wonder I've always wanted, like, why the hell
does McDonald's not have onion rings? You know, get the
(15:55):
big mac at and onion ring to it, get the
quarter powder with cheese. So I finally found the answer.
A former McDonald's corporate chef has revealed why McDonald's has
never had onion rings on the menu.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Did you see this, Danny, because there are a bunch
of losers.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Well no, Well the reason is they're they're cheap. They
want to they want to make money. They have to
keep the stockholders happy. So McDonald's they make the most
of their profits, according to this guy who was a
corporate chef, and I guess in Chicago where they're headquartered.
There their most efficient, most profitable. They have a scale.
(16:35):
And so the reason they've not had onion rings, he said,
think of how many less people would order the fries
and would then order onion rings instead, he explained, And
he said, because of how many fries McDonald sells, and
because of how efficient they are. But here's the kicker,
the most important part the profitability, meaning the write up,
(16:59):
the markup on how much they charge for the fries
and how much it costs for the potatoes. They mark
it up so much they make such a profit margin
on that. They're so paranoid at McDonald's about adding onion
rings and that would cut down on the sale of
the fries. And but wouldn't they be able to mark
(17:20):
up the onion rings, wouldn't that? How about it as
a seasonal item like the McRib where you bring it
back every so often. Wouldn't would that kill them that
have the mc onion? Would that be such a bad thing?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Yeah, I guess the way they started when it was
pretty much a simple menu, and I know it expanded
later on. You've seen the movie about Ray Kroc. They
just wanted to do burgers and fries and coke burgers
and fries, and they did master those fries. I mean,
there is nothing like hot McDonald's French fries that are fresh.
(17:57):
I mean, we've all had bad batches, but when they're good,
there is nothing like them. So I guess I can
see why you wouldn't want to water that down if
you're McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
It's the same thing. This guy named Harry Snyder, he
was the founder of In and Out Burger, In and Out,
In and out. That's what a hamburger is all about anyway.
So his model and in and Out still follows this.
It's do one thing and do it well. And they
opened up first in and Out Baldwin Park, Baldwin Park
(18:32):
other than San Gabriel. But I used to live not
far from the original In and Out Burger, and they
had three items on the menu when they started, burgers, fries,
and shakes.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Do they have.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Anything else that in and Out other than burgers, fries
and shakes today?
Speaker 3 (18:47):
I mean they have their secret menu and you could
get like a grilled cheese, but ingredients that would be
used for some of the burgers. So no, I mean
they've kept it simple and look out much it's paid
off for them.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Yeah, it's a cult. It's like Taylor Swift has her cult.
The Swifties and the in and Out people have their cult.
Here's more foody fun. A McDonald's worker this week has
revealed that the egg and hotcakes are not made fresh.
They are not made fresh. Oh boy, Yeah, devastating news.
(19:22):
This comes from the world of TikTok. I'll have to
check with alf on this, but a content creator there
McDonald's worker, I guess we're all content creators. That just
sounds cool, doesn't it. Content creator? And then you realize
all you have to do is have an account on
a social media platform. Anyway, this person let people know
(19:43):
that McDonald's already they pre make. The items are pre
made when they arrive at the restaurant. They're pre made.
Items include folded eggs that McDonald's uses in the biscuit breakfast,
sandwich and the mcgriddle. And this person should the sealed
packages containing the pre cooked square shaped eggs in the video.
(20:07):
Oh my god, Danny, I'm looking at it right now.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Just recently on one of our podcasts, I complained about
how much their breakfast costs nowadays, and you're telling me
it's not even fresh those guys.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
No it's not. I'm looking at the pancakes. They're in
a plastic bag. And then the egg there's the uh,
the egg thing that's in a plastic bag. Yeah, that's all.
You know.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
They need to get on in and outs level, because
anyone who says it's overhyped, it wasn't that great For
the price point and the quality of in and out,
it is great.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
What do we have more on foody fun? We've got
McDonald's revealing a new sweet and Spicy Jam sauce and
Mambo sauce coming out October ninth. So that's exciting.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
What up into their big Mac sauce? That was like
some big rollout. It lasted for a few weeks, it
seemed like, and then it disappeared.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Yeah, I don't know. I have to look into that.
Maybe for the next foodie fun I'll look into that.
Here's one KFC, better known by its formal name Kentucky
Fried Chicken, testing a new smashed potato bowl in Pittsburgh.
So if you're in Pittsburgh, you can have at certain
locations a smashed potato bowl.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
What up, Pete, go get one when you're hungover.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Which is seven days a week. I think I believe
seven days of me. I don't know what else do
we have here. We've got Taco bell is adding vegan
sauce to their nacho fries. I'm a nacho fried guy,
but it makes little sense for Taco bell to use
(21:51):
a vegan sauce. Here's why. The number of vegetarians not
vegans vegetarians somewhere between five and six percent. The number
of vegans is even less than that. So like, what
are we doing here? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Yeah, I'm not a fan of those taco bell fries.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
What.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
I just don't like him?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
It's bad. Take Yeah, all right, now you're in Vegas, Danny.
Here's a quickly the number one taco spot in America
was just unveiled by yelp. H oh, and it is
in Henderson, Nevada. Let's go, gotta go man, you you
and Coveno Rich. It's called Aroma Latin American Cosina or
(22:39):
Coachina c C I n A, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Racist. That's a mouthful.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah, Aroma Latin American. Uh coodeana. This is mostly the
spot serving the top tacos in America, Cordy yelp. So
you want hot tacos, Danny, you can go over there.
All right, we'll move on from Foody. I also, oh
we we we pitched a shutout, Danny, were short on times,
we pitched a shutout on backscratching. We were doing so
(23:08):
well and now we got none. We got none this week.
That's the Apple podcast page will help us out. Means
a lot if you haven't done it yet, or if
you haven't done it in a while. Go over to
the Apple podcast page and it's been a couple of minutes. Right,
a little review. It does help us out. Pop goes
the culture That means ohio al jog jog, All right,
(23:40):
a couple of pop goes the culture stories Danny. We
start out with a classic story about a celebrity NBA fan.
Most people know him more as a musician, Drake. Did
you see what Drake had with him when he showed
up to the ballet in Atlanta?
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Two hotties, one on each side.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Oh no, no, no, you don't bring sand to the beach, dandy.
He showed up holding a tupperware container. Hey, where are
the white women at?
Speaker 3 (24:08):
What?
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yeah? Was he giving meat loaf for? Was he giving
mac and cheese to the to the dancers there? The
ballet dancers. No, turns out Drake showed up with a
tupperware container containing two hundred and fifty thousand dollars geez,
that he was going to donate to the performers there,
(24:30):
the struggling college students who are shaking what their mama
gave him. They're doing their version of the tush push
And so yeah, how about that?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Yeah? And I wonder how much money he's invested in tupperware.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
How excited must those dancers at the ballet have been
when he comes in there with that kind of dough.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Right, Oh, hallelujah, that's a pay day.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
That is my rent, that is my my I'm going
to buy a house with some of that money, all right.
This one's wild man. This next story, Pop goes the
culture a random man. This is not a US, not
a US story, Danny, but they a man goes to
the hospital complaining about having stomach pain. So they take
(25:18):
the guy in, they do some x rays. They're like,
what's going on here? We got to figure this out.
This is in I believe it's in India. If I
have this story credit, I believe he's a India. So
they use usual tests and whatnot, and the guy says
he was suffering from stomach pain for like two years.
(25:41):
Doctors look inside. This guy had ingested sixty household items
that he had in his gut. Guy's thirty five years old,
and he went to the hospital. He was concerned he
had some kind of terminal cancer, a stomach cancer at
(26:02):
age thirty five. So they scanned him and they discovered chains, nuts, bolts, earphones,
safety pins, magnets, shirt shirt buttons, zips, and I mean,
(26:22):
you know I'm gonna send you this. I'm going to
send you this.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Danny.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
You got to see the photo of the crap that
was in This seems like it's out of a.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Horror movie, a human dyce in What the hell?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah, it says this guy suffers from a medical condition.
He was diagnosed with a condition called pica picka I
believe it is, or pika. It is a mental health
condition where the sufferer compulsively swallows items that aren't food.
(26:56):
Holy fuck. This is a cord of the Even when
clinic says most common it's young children. Yeah, I think
kids put crap in their mouth, says pregnant women. And
people with psychiatric disorders, Well we'll do this, they say, schizophrenia. Also,
I didn't even know you could swallow some of those items.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Nothing like a juicy lego.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
He just I don't know if you're looking at the photo.
I said to Danny, but that there are some very
large whoa, there's like a bottle opener, like one of
those big metal bottle openers.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
There's a everything is laid out on a table. This
reminds me of that old Brady Bunch episode where Bobby
had to empty out his pockets.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
There you go, I remember, I do remember that. Yeah,
that was that was good. That is How do you
swallow some of that stuff? I can't imagine. It looks
like there's a big pen, like a full size pen there.
What about the thing in the upper left hand corner, Dan,
it looks like it looks like a donut, but a
(28:06):
metal donut, like a full sized metal donut.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
This looks like the very bottom of a very busy toolbox.
And somebody dumped the toolbox out and then got all
the crap that was at the bottom of the toolbox
and dumped it out on a sheet. That's what it
looks like. And most of this stuff is sharp and jagged.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
That is That is next level. That is next level,
all right? Next up on pop goes the culture. You
can look that up. Just google it, kids, just google it. Yeah,
you can find that story. So a city, let's see
if you can figure out which city. I wonder if
you've seen this story. A city has become the first
of the nation to recognize the legal rights of animals.
(28:52):
You want to take a guess which state nanny this
city is in the first city in America to recognize
the legal rights of a non human animal.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
God, it's got to be our state that we live in.
That is that is correct, Danny, Okay, California Winter Chicken Dinner.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
The People's Republic of California, the city of Ohi, ah
oj oh j oh Hi. They adopted an ordinance introduced
by a council member there named Leslie Rule who I
don't know. That is District one developed with the Non
Human Rights Project. The ordinance defines the projects elephants rights
(29:40):
to liberty. It says it's indisputable that elephants suffer when
deprived of their freedom, and the animal welfare laws can't
end their suffering, and so it says, for elephants in
the non human animal rights movement, we are proud to
support the first of its kind ordinance, and we command
(30:01):
the Ohi City Council for standing up to what's necessary
and just.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
How many elephants do they have at Ohi?
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Well, I don't want to talk about the women there, Danny,
but if you want to, you can you can do that. No, I.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Have no on there's some hippie women over the mountains there,
but I don't know about elephants.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
I was enforced, Danny. You think they're going to go
The elephants are going to self report they're not getting
their liberty. What do you think they do? The elephants
use their tusk and throw feces to alert the alert
the people. Hey, I'm not getting my liberty over here.
Help me out. Give me some peanuts or something. I
need peanuts. Last one. We'll get out on this. And
(30:45):
oh what a story it is. Elon Musk has taken
this satellite thing to the next level. He pretty much
owns the heavens at this point. Now they have this
Starlink satellite Internet thing. I was unaware of this, but
there are almost not that. According to this there are
(31:06):
almost five thousand Starlink satellites that are hovering over Earth.
Keep in mind that there are only around nine thousand
stars visible on Earth's sky, so they are convinced within
a few years, at the rate Elon Musk is sending
these satellites up, there will be more satellites in space.
(31:31):
From Elon Musk is Starlink Internet, then there are stars
that we can see.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
This guy's a monster. Someone needs to stop them. Is insane.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
They're they're like talking about also the long term ramifications
of space junk and what's gonna happen because these things
don't last forever. It says that the Starlink satellite, each
of these things is about the size of a dining
room table, or a better comparison would be if you're
(32:07):
a fan of the nineteen eighties professional wrestling, each one
is about the size the weight of Andre the Giant. Yeah,
it says space not is not overcrowded. We humans are
just really crap at understanding scale and numbers. Suppose I
don't know, but it's pretty wild to think that space
(32:28):
junk and space debris left by humans stuck in the
orbit and all this stuff. The objects orbit travel about
fifteen thousand miles per hour, fast enough that of a
small piece collider with a satellite or spaceship to cast
some serious damage. So how did they get rid of
(32:48):
that stuff? Do they just stay in orbit forever? I
don't know. I'm not that smart. I have no idea anyway.
All right, we'll get out here in Vegas, Danny, So
we'll get the hell out here. Obviously, Covino and Rich
anything live today? Is it just a podcast? You're doing
there today. You're going to fight tonight.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Yeah, today, we have a special fight Day podcast that's
gonna be available anywhere you get your podcasts from, just Google,
Covino and Rich Fox Sports Radio podcast. Tonight, we will
get to be there in the house to watch Canelo
and this Charlo dude, Ben. He's got a twin brother.
(33:25):
They're both really good fighters. The other Charlo brothers the
stronger one. This is the one who's slicker in the ring,
so he could give Canelo some problems. But most boxing
experts think Canelo is gonna win tonight.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Well, Canelo's the bigger name, and you usually go with
the bigger name. So if I wanted to watch said fight,
is this a typical late night Was it eight o'clock
West Coast time?
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Yes, this is a showtime pay per view.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
All right, very good, So enjoy that. If you check
that out, maybe I'll check that out. I don't know
what I'm doing, and today it's my day of rest.
I need to decompress from my craziness with all the
different nonsense. Don't forget Benny versus the Penny, Benny versus
the Penny. Check your local TV listings. If you don't
have it on your local TV, check out direct TV.
It's available Fubo TV, and boy, that would really help
(34:18):

you watch the show. It means a lot to me.
And it's a new show and I want to make
sure that you know it does pretty well and get
some people over there that say, hey, why don't we
do another year of Benny Versus the Penny. Anyway, have
a great day and we'll catch you next time.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
I'll be watching your show from my Vegas hotel room.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Hey, Danny, by the way, if you're in a sports book,
take a photo, because sometimes you know, they oh, that
would be like the coolest bucket list if they accidentally
put Benny Versus the Penny up in a sports book
in Vegas. Man, would that be awesome. You gotta keep
an eye on that when you walk through the.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Books, Danny, Okay, I definitely will.
