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 a clearinghouse
of hot takes. Break free for something special. The Fifth
(00:23):
Hour with Ben Mallard starts right now in.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
The airmywhere the Fifth Hour with me, Ben Mallor and
Danny g Radio As we are together TGIF a happy Friday.
It's early in the morning. I have been awake for
a very long time. I'm not complaining, that is not
(00:50):
a complaint. But we are together here on this Friday,
the eighteenth day of October, and oh what a day
it is. Got Dodger and Mets this afternoon. I'm gonna
get a few hours of sleep after I do this podcast,
and then I will be back away to watch the
Doyers eliminate the Mets from the National League Championship Series.
(01:15):
Unless they don't, but I believe they will. Today will
be an elimination day. The Dodgers are so much better
than the Mets. This is one of the great domination situations.
Not a sweep, not a sweep, but a domination situation
for sure. And we celebrate today not only the Dodgers
and the Mets, and then the Yankees and the team
(01:37):
that used to be called the Cleveland Indians. But it
is National Chocolate cup Cupcake Day.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
That's right now.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I love cupcase. I'm not a huge chocolate cupcake person.
I don't mind it. It's not something I will go
out of my way to get. There's all kinds of
there's National Cupcake Day, which is a different day, not
to be confused with National Hot Chocolate Day or National
Chocolate Cake Day. Those are all separate days. This is
(02:07):
National Chocolate chip Cupcake Day, which, if you look at
the history here, the chocolate cupcakes made their first written,
written debut in American culture. The first cookbook to write
that in America was written in seventeen ninety six. It
(02:28):
was called American Cookery, and it featured a bunch of
different recipes, obviously, and one of them was a chocolate cupcake.
So if you're interested in that kind of thing, congratulations.
Going back to the seventeen hundreds, people in America have
been eating chocolate cupcakes. It's also National Mashed Potatoes Day.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Now.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
When I was a kid, my mom would make a
lot of meals where the side dish was peas, canned peas,
throwing a lot of mashed potato dishes. And I liked
mashed potatoes.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I did.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
They were not exotic mashed potatoes. I enjoyed them, and
then as I got older, I realized, well, that's kind
of a cheap food, and that's one of the reasons.
The stuff I ate as a kid, like frozen fish sticks,
things like that, a lot of stuff that was easily
available and didn't cost all that much. But today's National
(03:28):
Mashed Potatoes Day. They say the human beings have been
growing potatoes going as far back as eight thousand BC. Yeah,
eight thousand BC. I don't know what they did before that.
And they claim that remains were found in central Peru.
We do not do shout outs on the podcast, so
(03:49):
I cannot shout out inker terror, but they have found
a bunch of remnants of that, and potatoes appear all
over the place. The mashed potato though spread throughout the
northern colonies, it wasn't until Thomas Jefferson of all people
served the potato to guess at the White House.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
That was an.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Eighteen oh two. And then after that they had a
bunch of Irish immigrants that came to America and they
brought their culture to America and their love of the potato,
and we had potatoes reach outer space. In the nineties,
the University of Wisconsin and NASA got together and they
(04:30):
put the potato as the first ever vegetable grown in space.
The potato potato isn't that wonderful in that grade? Yeah,
so celebrate appropriately. It is National mashed Potato Day. There's
also some birthdays today.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
One of them.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
And I look at these names and I get these
lists and I'm like, all right, what I list radio
we're podcasting.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
But I looked at it.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
I said, well, that name rings a bell. I said,
we almost had that guy on the podcast. And that
would be none other than the legendary coach of the
Chicago Bears back in the day, Iron Mike Ditka, who
if you've listened to this podcast, you know that we
attempted to get Mike Ditka on the podcast. Mike is
(05:15):
getting up there. He was born in nineteen thirty nine.
Long run as an NFL player. I knew him as
the coach of the Bears when I was a kid,
and a long career as a TV guy, Iron Mike
Tyson and the pride of Pennsylvania Steel tough right, Pennsylvania football.
He just oozed Pennsylvania football. Mike Ditka tried to get
(05:41):
him on the podcast. A buddy of mine had a number,
so I gave him a couple of texts, give him
a couple of calls. He didn't answer his phone, and
he didn't respond to the text and actually heard I
don't know this firsthand, but somebody that knows more about
the situation than me said that Mike has been in
very poor health the last couple of years, so I
(06:04):
don't know if that's true or not. I know he
has not been seen out in public very much. Last
time he was seen it was on the internet. It
was kind of disheveled and wasn't doing all that well.
So hopefully things have gotten better from Mike Ditka, who
was a one of the great characters in NFL history
in his day and in many ways part of my youth.
(06:27):
How I wasn't a Bears fan. I did like refrigerator
Perry because he was fat for the mid eighties bears,
and you know, I was right in my wheelhouse. But
Mike Ditka the character that he was, and that was
an era where you had bigger than life personalities who
were coaches. It wasn't like today, Hey Boomer. But you
guys know, listen, Yeah, people that listen to spots down
(06:50):
on how old you are, where your background is, but
it doesn't matter, right.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And here's why. If you look back at.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
What it was and what it is now, it's so
corporate and everyone's offended about everything these days, and coaches
talking coach speak. Not that they didn't do that back
in the day, it's just a different animal at this
particular point. So on this podcast, we'll bounce around a
little bit. There's a few things that I wanted to
(07:18):
share with you on this fifth hour edition The Big News,
and I teased this on the radio show, and I
promised you, I said, listen, download the FM podcast and
you're going to get all the inside information, none of
that artsy fartsy bowl crap. Everything will be delivered right
to your ear drums, And here we are a very
(07:40):
exciting announcement.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I teased this a couple of weeks back. I've been
working on this for some time.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Finally got all the tea's crossed and the eyes died,
dotted dotted. That would be the word Heartland ho Down.
Big announcement, Big Announcement two point zero. I actually talked
about this originally back on Thursday, equally appearance on the
radio on the fan in Cana City. But assuming you
(08:08):
didn't drop your entire life to listen to me wax
poetic with my friend Bob, who does radio in Kansas City.
I am very excited to let you know about a
pop up Malard meet and greet. We're headed to the
Great Midwest, the mecca of the National foot Ball League.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
How do you do?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
And I'm going to get a chance to witness the
modern day pig skin dynasty.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Say what it is?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
The final Malar Meet and Greet of twenty twenty four.
We're calling it the Heartland Heartland Hodown for now and
maybe we'll change the name, maybe not. But let me
give you the basics on this as promised. Some of
you reached out to me via email said you're planning
on attending, whether you actually do or not. As I
always say with these things, I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I'll be there.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Hopefully you can show up. I take the people that
are SVP. I appreciate you doing that, but I also
realize that things pop up in life and you might
not be able to attend. I would love for you
to be there. It would be awesome. But here are
the basics, the who, what, where, when, why and how?
(09:21):
The who that would be me, not the band, me
Ben Hi, my friend Bob Fesco. I believe that his
partner on his radio show, Dusty his guy, will be there. Unfortunately,
this is just a malor meet and great. It is
not an Eddie soire Coop will not be there, Lorena
(09:41):
will not will not be there.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Just me.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
You're just stuck with my fat ass and what is it?
It is a chance for malad militia pee wance.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
That would be you.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
That would be if you're listening to this podcast, that
would be you. And if you're in reasonable driving distance now,
Kansas City is centrally oh kid. One of the cool
things about Kansy and I have a lot of friends
that live there, and you guys that live there know this,
is that you can go pretty much anywhere in a
very short amount of time.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
In the middle of the country. So it's a really
cool thing.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
So if you're in the area and you're thinking about
doing it, maybe you've attended one of these things in
the past.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
And when we did in Minnesota or.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Appleton, Wisconsin or wherever, we don't do very many, and
this was one that was not playing. But we're doing it,
and I'm very excited.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I'll be there.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Bob Fesco will be there with his listeners, so we're
going to combine the Malad militia and my got Bob.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Will be there. I don't know that again, I don't
know if Dusky's going to be there. Where's it going
to take place? At the Landing in Liberty, Missouri.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Now, Michael, the man behind the Landing, one of the
big guys there that runs that fine restaurant, help make
this happen, so I want to thank him. And when
is it going to take place? Well, this is very important.
We're not that far away. We're in the eighteenth of
October right now. It's going to happen November ninth, Saturday,
(11:05):
November ninth. Jot that down, put that in your phone,
Save that date November ninth. Now, when what time that
has yet to be determined. We're still negotiating when we
want to do it, When can we get the biggest crowd.
It'll likely be sometime in the afternoon or early evening,
(11:26):
most likely most likely afternoon early evening at the latest.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
And why are we doing it? Or we're doing it?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
First of all, to support a restaurant that has been
very good to me over the years, A mom and pop,
not some big conglomerate restaurant, a locally owned restaurant, The
Landing in Liberty, Missouri, which is not that far away
from Arrowhead and not that far away you know the
(11:54):
complex there were the royals and the chiefs play and
we're going to hang out, just enjoy some great food
at the Landing Midwestern hospitality, and consume massive amounts of
the ben malor chicken fingers and hidden ranch. How dare you, Danny,
(12:17):
how we're going to do all this? You ask, well,
how we are going to do this? That would be planes, trains,
and automobiles, probably no trains, more planes and automobiles, and
also hotels. This is not a Fox Sports Radio event.
They had nothing to do with this. This is just
our friends at the fan in Kansas City. The New
(12:39):
FM blow Torch along with the Landing in Liberty and
so fired up again. November ninth saved that date. I'd
love to see it. We did one of these in
Kansas City. The restaurant the Landing used to be called
the Brooksider, and we went there. That was a different
restaurant before I was even married. Been married a long time,
(13:02):
so it's been a while. We're going back and I'm
fired up.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I can't wait.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
We had a great time in Kansas City and I'm
looking forward to checking everything out and saying hello to
a lot of people that I haven't seen in a
long time.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
And forget about Taylor swept right. I.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I have been invited to attend the Chiefs and the
Broncos game on that Sunday. I think it's November tenth,
I believe is the date on that at Arrowhead Stadium
against the Broncos.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
I have never been to a game at Arrowhead.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
That game is actually going to be, based on what
we've seen so far, an important matchup in the NFL.
I've been putting this together with our friends in Kansas City,
and originally there were some things that came up that
kind of delayed everything.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
But originally I was like, well, that's not going to
be that good a game. The Broncos are going to
be terrible. I was like, oh, come on, they're brutal
blah blah blah blah blah. Well it turns out no,
they'll be actually pretty good. At least at this point.
They're pretty good.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
And the Broncos, who won last night in a rat
kill situation, they will take on the Chiefs. Chiefs undefeated.
They play the Niners on Sunday. Broncos are four and three.
They should get to at least five and three, probably
be five and four, likely five and four before they
(14:30):
play the Chiefs because they got the Ravens at Baltimore.
After they play Carolina next week on October or their
next game is October twenty seventh, so obviously a little
time after they played on Thursday. So that is what's
up ahead for the Heartland Hodown. As far as the
TV show, yeah, there's a TV show.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I normally you bear the lead by man, don't bear
the lead, all right, I bury the lead.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I realize that, but it is another weekend of Benny
versus the Penny. I am so happy to have this.
I'm so excited. It's awesome and I'm really fired up.
You guys have been sending me emails every week. I
get new messages from people that listen to this podcasts,
that are listening to this show, but also sending me
(15:17):
photos from different places they're watching the TV show, whether
it be your lake house, whether it be I don't know.
We had one guy from a sports bar, which was
kind of cool, all kinds of but normally at your house.
But the show is on elsewhere obviously where we have
a TV and all that, so it's great. I'm very
(15:39):
proud of this week's episode, week seven of Benny Versus
the Penny, and the people at NBC have been great.
We had a little bit of a microphone snaffu, if
you will, last week. There were some technical issues the
type of microphone, and they immediately the circled the wagons.
(16:02):
They're like, hey, listen, we're going to fix this. And
it's so much different than the radio world. In television,
when something goes haywire, there is an army of people
that run to make sure that problem never happens again.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
And I'm not exaggerating.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
There were a bunch of people, a team of people
in Boston and in LA We do the show from
Universal Studios in Hollywood, who were working to try to
ratify the situation or rectify the situation, i should say,
And they determined that the type of microphone because of
(16:43):
the studio setup that we have. We do the show
in a studio with the green screen and the way
it's set up and the size of the room and
all this stuff and the way I talk and the
way Looney talks, and the only thing that we needed
a special type of microphone special time.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
So they went out and bought a.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Different microphone and they shipped it and there were people
testing it, and then we got in there.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
We had to test it and the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
But that was good and the show will debut normal
timeslot today.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
We'll see how what happens going forward.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
The NBA season begins next week, so we might be
bumped out of our normal timeslot depending on the schedule.
But this week today on our debut on NBC Sports Boston.
The show will air tonight at six o'clock. It's a
great time slot. Fired up. They trusted the show enough
(17:39):
to put us on NBC Sports Boston six o'clock right
after Felger and Maz the simulcast of the most popular
radio show in Boston. That show goes till six and
then we pop on with Penny Versus the Penny, and
then the Celtics will start playing some real games next week.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
So that is our debut.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
The show is produced out of NBA Sports Boston, so
that is an important and important.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Show for us in Boston.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
It will also be on various other regional cable channels
throughout the country today.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Check your local listenings.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
For example, in Philadelphia, we will be on at six
thirty six point thirty airing tonight in Philly, and that's
right after Birds Huddle inside Egle Information and then you
got us on NBC Sports Philadelphia. And if you're happy
you've happened to be in the Bay Area, don't forget
(18:37):
that you can also get your hands on this show
NBC Sports Bay Area all over the place. There several
airings today tomorrow, the whole thing. We're on in La
tomorrow later on today, and I'm not sure exactly when
this drops. Some of you have complained I tried to
find the new episode and I couldn't find it.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Well, you got to wait a little bit.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I'm talking about Peacock now. I got several messages this
morning after the radio show I did last night. They
were like, Oh, I loved your peacock impersonation. You should
do that on the podcast. No, that's only for the
radio show. I'm not gonna do the Peacock impersonation here,
but please, it's Availa everywhere. You guys complain, Oh it's
not right, I can't get the show. You got to
(19:22):
make the show available. Okay, So we made the show available.
I complained to the people at NBC. They heard me
complain as a conduit, as a middleman between you and
these big executives, and they put it on Peacock. So
it's on everywhere, and that's a very important place for us.
Right everyone's going to streaming, you know a lot of
(19:43):
places and all that. So it's important the show does
well and we want to make the show even bigger
and better. We have other ideas, we want to expand things,
and so for that to happen, in order for us
to continue on, we need you to watch the show.
And you've been doing a hell of a job. I
just want you to keep it going. And if you
happen to have some people in your life that also
(20:03):
have Peacock and they would watch it. That would help
us out a lot. I would like them to enjoy
the show. But as I've said in previous episodes on
the fifth hour, you know my position. I've met a
number of people in my wife's family or circle of
friends who are.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Not sports people. They don't get it. They're not like us.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
They're not sports people, and they know I do the show,
and so they'll bring it up in small talk, which
I don't like.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I don't like small talk anyway, but.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
I'll try to engage and I'll always say I said, listen,
you know, if you don't like football, I get it.
If you're not a gambler, I understand. If you look
at football the way our friend Lorena looks at football,
where you don't know if it's stuffed or puffed.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
That's fine. I'm okay with that.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
All I need is you to click on Peacock, make
sure you subscribe, click on it, and then you say
you have to do the dishes, or maybe you're taking
a sh shower, you got some work around the house, laundry, Okay,
you hit the play button On the newest episode of
(21:08):
Benny versus the penny. If you walk out of the room,
I don't know whether you're watching. I don't know whether
you're watching. I'd like you to watch, but we get
credit for it. I know Alf has been amazing. Alf
has kicked ass here, He's draging other people into this masshole.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Mickey also outstanding.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
So I really do appreciate the support you guys have
gone above and beyond the call of duty. I'm sure John,
our newest sworn in member of the Mala Militia from Phoenix,
he's watching the show as well, So thank you all.
All of you guys have been just amazing and really
excited about the way the show is.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
I want to make it even better. If you have
any suggestions on how we can improve the show, go,
It's only a half hour show. We have the phrase
of the week. Are you ready for the phrase? All
the way?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Yes you are now. This is from listener Scott. Not
to be confused with Blind Scott, because that's somebody else.
This is Scott from the nine to one seven New
York U nine one seven area code. He says a
blowing He wants to know the phrase of the week
this week. Blowing smoke up your ass. He said, where
(22:22):
did that come from? So initially I thought, well, maybe
this is a gag, maybe this is somebody that just
effing around, But no, he seemed to want to know this,
and I was blown away. I did not even anticipate,
like I said, well, I'll look at this.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
I won't do it. It's probably stupid, it's got some
X rated thing.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
No, no, no, Now you likely know if anyone has
ever said, maybe you use this phrase blow and smoke
up your ass, right when someone says that, it is
a figure of communication, right, a figure of speech, and
it means that at you're complimenting another person, but you're
(23:04):
not doing it legitimately, you're insincere.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
You're using the ancient art of flattery.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
You're being you're appealing to the person's ego, you're inflating
their ego.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
So I well, okay, fine, whatever where did this come from? Well,
it turns out this is mind blowing.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Way back in the late seventeen hundreds, before toilet paper,
before modern technology, it was very archaic in the seventeen hundreds.
So back in the late seventeen hundreds, doctors literally blue
smoke up your rectum, say why let me repeat that
(23:50):
for those of you who are not paying attention because
you're doing something else, fuson around while you're listening to
this podcast. In the late seventeen hundreds, in medicine at
that time would blow smoke up your ass.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah, I'm not making this up.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Mainstream Western medication, modern medicine.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
In those days.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
This was a medical procedure to resuscitate people who were
otherwise presume dead. So they think somebody's dead and then
they're like, okay, let's help the mine. Now it was
supposedly common for drowning victims. That was usually what they
used it for people that were drowning or they thought
(24:35):
had drowned. And the equipment used in the procedure that
was required by for example, on the Thames River River
Thames in the UK, the historians found the equipment that
they had placed they put near the waterways and people
(24:59):
would go on the week and have great times and
when the weather was good, and they had this equipment
available in case somebody's drown and they would blow smoke
up your ass by inserting a tube and the tube
was connected to a fumigator okay, and they would force
(25:21):
smoke into the rectum. Now sometimes they would they would
throw a more direct route to the lungs, forcing the
smoke into the you know, your mouth, your nose and
all that. But from what I was reading here, they
the doctors of the time were big believers in the
took us and you must blow smoke up the old ass.
(25:44):
And the nicotine and the tobacco was thought to stimulate
the heart, allow the heart to beat stronger and faster,
encouraging respiration. And the smoke was also thought to warm
the victim and dry out the person's insides, removing all
the extra moisture from the nice smoke. So, in a
(26:06):
shocking turn of events for listeners, Scott, and for me,
this is why we do this phrase of the week,
blowing smoke up your ass, which was an actual medical
term back in the day. God, I remember one time
I was in Pennsylvania at the Revolutionary War Museum.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
I believe it was.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
It is one of the wars that George Washington fought in,
and it was not the most exciting museum, but I
think it was in Valley Forge. I believe it was
a long time I was in visiting Philadelphia. It was
outside Philly, so it was driving through Pennsylvania and we
went to the museum and they had this one section
of how they would treat soldiers who got injured on
(26:54):
the battlefield, and it was like a horror movie. What
they used to amputate body parts, archaic, horrific, the fuel
of nightmares, and it was just the way it was.
That's how you did things, and you just had to
(27:16):
do your thing and that's that and that's what you did,
and you just sucked it up, Buttercup, but just nuts,
absolutely nuts. It was craziness. So anyway, that is that
I did have a little time for fruity fun because
(27:37):
we all got to eat. Well. Good news if you're
in the UK, terry in England, the McRib is back
for a limited time. However, not yet in the United States,
although we are told as I understand that the McRib
will return to the United States later this year. As
far as our conversation we had last night, we had
a hearty conversation about the Chicken Big Mac. None of
(28:00):
us on the show had eaten the chicken Big Mac,
although we have all heard it is disgusting and we
haven't done it ourselves. So if you have eaten the Chicken,

A couple of those stories that came across my radar
Taco Bell welcoming back, the Double Decker Taco and the
(28:44):
Double Decker Taco Supreme.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
I'm good on that.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Subway has introduced a couple of the new items they have,
ghost pepper bread.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I can go for that new spicy nacho steak.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
I'd have to look at that. And Firing Meatball sandwiches.
That's a spicy meatball.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I think I'm good. Costco. We love Costco. What's going
on there?
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Well, apparently there's one item in particular that Costco has
to figure out and a lot of complaints, a lot
of problems here.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
What product is that? That would be bread? Bread Stone
fire brand bread.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Apparently it is often moldy right away, so think of
this more as a PSA if you.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Buy that brand of bread.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
They claim it's been a problem for a fair amount
of time at the Costco.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Why because bread gets mold. Popeyes famous.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Thanksgiving Turkey is back, but you have to jump through
a bunch of hoops to get your hands on that.
KFC made a lot of food news, foody fun news
this week. They have a new dessert offer. They're calling
it cherry pie Poppers. Insert your own X rated joke
on that cherry pie poppers. They also have launched the
(30:10):
new original recipe Tenders with the eleven herbs and spices
nationwide with the zesty comeback sauce.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Yeah, I'm more of a crunchy chicken guy.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
I don't mind the original recipe, but if I'm eating Tenders,
I want the crunch and I'm likely not going to KFC.
I used to eat CAMFC all the time. Also Campc's
original recipe Tenders.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Several of you. You say outstanding, many, I say many?
Two people.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
I say many. That sounds like a lot more than two.
Two people send me emails about Burger King. So Burger
King and Hidden Rancho have teamed up to create the
Big Dip and this is already available right now select
locations not available to nationally.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
It's New York, New York City.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
La, Chicago, Miami, Dallas, Houston, and San Francisco. And this
is the kind of stuff that's disgusting. It's a it's
a giant tub of ranch dressing and it's hard.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Now.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
I am not against a giant tub to dip into, uh,
but ranch is the devil's blood. And I cannot imagine
combining Burger King, which is you know, I ate it
a lot as a kid.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
I last time I ate Burger King, I wanted to
puke in my mouth. It was terrible. And I haven't
been back since, so I think I'm good on that.
All right, we'll get out on that.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Danny g will be back with me tomorrow on the
Saturday audition. Hopefully we'll be celebrating the dayers going to
the World Series. Yet again, it's every couple of years
they go to World Series. We'll see about that, but
either way, either way, we will be here, come hell
(32:07):
or high water on Saturday morning, here the nineteenth, but
today's the eighteenth.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Have a wonderful day. Remember I need your help. You
got my back. I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Benny Versus the Penny, airing on regional cable TV all
over the place today all weekend long through Sunday afternoon
when the NFL kicks off again, and also available on Peacock.
Tell a friend, get those Peacock numbers up, up and away.
The more people that watch it, the better coverage we
get on Peacock, and they'll allow more people access to it,
(32:40):
so not that everyone doesn't have access to it, but
they'll promote the show more crap like that. I have
a wonderful day, and we'll see what happens today with
the Dodgers. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Gotta murder, I gotta go
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 a clearinghouse
of hot takes. Break free for something special. The Fifth
(00:23):
Hour with Ben Mallard starts right now in.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
The airmywhere the Fifth Hour with me, Ben Mallor and
Danny g Radio As we are together TGIF a happy Friday.
It's early in the morning. I have been awake for
a very long time. I'm not complaining, that is not
(00:50):
a complaint. But we are together here on this Friday,
the eighteenth day of October, and oh what a day
it is. Got Dodger and Mets this afternoon. I'm gonna
get a few hours of sleep after I do this podcast,
and then I will be back away to watch the
Doyers eliminate the Mets from the National League Championship Series.
(01:15):
Unless they don't, but I believe they will. Today will
be an elimination day. The Dodgers are so much better
than the Mets. This is one of the great domination situations.
Not a sweep, not a sweep, but a domination situation
for sure. And we celebrate today not only the Dodgers
and the Mets, and then the Yankees and the team
(01:37):
that used to be called the Cleveland Indians. But it
is National Chocolate cup Cupcake Day.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
That's right now.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I love cupcase. I'm not a huge chocolate cupcake person.
I don't mind it. It's not something I will go
out of my way to get. There's all kinds of
there's National Cupcake Day, which is a different day, not
to be confused with National Hot Chocolate Day or National
Chocolate Cake Day. Those are all separate days. This is
(02:07):
National Chocolate chip Cupcake Day, which, if you look at
the history here, the chocolate cupcakes made their first written,
written debut in American culture. The first cookbook to write
that in America was written in seventeen ninety six. It
(02:28):
was called American Cookery, and it featured a bunch of
different recipes, obviously, and one of them was a chocolate cupcake.
So if you're interested in that kind of thing, congratulations.
Going back to the seventeen hundreds, people in America have
been eating chocolate cupcakes. It's also National Mashed Potatoes Day.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Now.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
When I was a kid, my mom would make a
lot of meals where the side dish was peas, canned peas,
throwing a lot of mashed potato dishes. And I liked
mashed potatoes.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I did.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
They were not exotic mashed potatoes. I enjoyed them, and
then as I got older, I realized, well, that's kind
of a cheap food, and that's one of the reasons.
The stuff I ate as a kid, like frozen fish sticks,
things like that, a lot of stuff that was easily
available and didn't cost all that much. But today's National
(03:28):
Mashed Potatoes Day. They say the human beings have been
growing potatoes going as far back as eight thousand BC. Yeah,
eight thousand BC. I don't know what they did before that.
And they claim that remains were found in central Peru.
We do not do shout outs on the podcast, so
(03:49):
I cannot shout out inker terror, but they have found
a bunch of remnants of that, and potatoes appear all
over the place. The mashed potato though spread throughout the
northern colonies, it wasn't until Thomas Jefferson of all people
served the potato to guess at the White House.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
That was an.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Eighteen oh two. And then after that they had a
bunch of Irish immigrants that came to America and they
brought their culture to America and their love of the potato,
and we had potatoes reach outer space. In the nineties,
the University of Wisconsin and NASA got together and they
(04:30):
put the potato as the first ever vegetable grown in space.
The potato potato isn't that wonderful in that grade? Yeah,
so celebrate appropriately. It is National mashed Potato Day. There's
also some birthdays today.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
One of them.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
And I look at these names and I get these
lists and I'm like, all right, what I list radio
we're podcasting.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
But I looked at it.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
I said, well, that name rings a bell. I said,
we almost had that guy on the podcast. And that
would be none other than the legendary coach of the
Chicago Bears back in the day, Iron Mike Ditka, who
if you've listened to this podcast, you know that we
attempted to get Mike Ditka on the podcast. Mike is
(05:15):
getting up there. He was born in nineteen thirty nine.
Long run as an NFL player. I knew him as
the coach of the Bears when I was a kid,
and a long career as a TV guy, Iron Mike
Tyson and the pride of Pennsylvania Steel tough right, Pennsylvania football.
He just oozed Pennsylvania football. Mike Ditka tried to get
(05:41):
him on the podcast. A buddy of mine had a number,
so I gave him a couple of texts, give him
a couple of calls. He didn't answer his phone, and
he didn't respond to the text and actually heard I
don't know this firsthand, but somebody that knows more about
the situation than me said that Mike has been in
very poor health the last couple of years, so I
(06:04):
don't know if that's true or not. I know he
has not been seen out in public very much. Last
time he was seen it was on the internet. It
was kind of disheveled and wasn't doing all that well.
So hopefully things have gotten better from Mike Ditka, who
was a one of the great characters in NFL history
in his day and in many ways part of my youth.
(06:27):
How I wasn't a Bears fan. I did like refrigerator
Perry because he was fat for the mid eighties bears,
and you know, I was right in my wheelhouse. But
Mike Ditka the character that he was, and that was
an era where you had bigger than life personalities who
were coaches. It wasn't like today, Hey Boomer. But you
guys know, listen, Yeah, people that listen to spots down
(06:50):
on how old you are, where your background is, but
it doesn't matter, right.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And here's why. If you look back at.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
What it was and what it is now, it's so
corporate and everyone's offended about everything these days, and coaches
talking coach speak. Not that they didn't do that back
in the day, it's just a different animal at this
particular point. So on this podcast, we'll bounce around a
little bit. There's a few things that I wanted to
(07:18):
share with you on this fifth hour edition The Big News,
and I teased this on the radio show, and I
promised you, I said, listen, download the FM podcast and
you're going to get all the inside information, none of
that artsy fartsy bowl crap. Everything will be delivered right
to your ear drums, And here we are a very
(07:40):
exciting announcement.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I teased this a couple of weeks back. I've been
working on this for some time.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Finally got all the tea's crossed and the eyes died,
dotted dotted. That would be the word Heartland ho Down.
Big announcement, Big Announcement two point zero. I actually talked
about this originally back on Thursday, equally appearance on the
radio on the fan in Cana City. But assuming you
(08:08):
didn't drop your entire life to listen to me wax
poetic with my friend Bob, who does radio in Kansas City.
I am very excited to let you know about a
pop up Malard meet and greet. We're headed to the
Great Midwest, the mecca of the National foot Ball League.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
How do you do?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
And I'm going to get a chance to witness the
modern day pig skin dynasty.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Say what it is?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
The final Malar Meet and Greet of twenty twenty four.
We're calling it the Heartland Heartland Hodown for now and
maybe we'll change the name, maybe not. But let me
give you the basics on this as promised. Some of
you reached out to me via email said you're planning
on attending, whether you actually do or not. As I
always say with these things, I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I'll be there.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Hopefully you can show up. I take the people that
are SVP. I appreciate you doing that, but I also
realize that things pop up in life and you might
not be able to attend. I would love for you
to be there. It would be awesome. But here are
the basics, the who, what, where, when, why and how?
(09:21):
The who that would be me, not the band, me
Ben Hi, my friend Bob Fesco. I believe that his
partner on his radio show, Dusty his guy, will be there. Unfortunately,
this is just a malor meet and great. It is
not an Eddie soire Coop will not be there, Lorena
(09:41):
will not will not be there.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Just me.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
You're just stuck with my fat ass and what is it?
It is a chance for malad militia pee wance.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
That would be you.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
That would be if you're listening to this podcast, that
would be you. And if you're in reasonable driving distance now,
Kansas City is centrally oh kid. One of the cool
things about Kansy and I have a lot of friends
that live there, and you guys that live there know this,
is that you can go pretty much anywhere in a
very short amount of time.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
In the middle of the country. So it's a really
cool thing.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
So if you're in the area and you're thinking about
doing it, maybe you've attended one of these things in
the past.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
And when we did in Minnesota or.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Appleton, Wisconsin or wherever, we don't do very many, and
this was one that was not playing. But we're doing it,
and I'm very excited.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I'll be there.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Bob Fesco will be there with his listeners, so we're
going to combine the Malad militia and my got Bob.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Will be there. I don't know that again, I don't
know if Dusky's going to be there. Where's it going
to take place? At the Landing in Liberty, Missouri.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Now, Michael, the man behind the Landing, one of the
big guys there that runs that fine restaurant, help make
this happen, so I want to thank him. And when
is it going to take place? Well, this is very important.
We're not that far away. We're in the eighteenth of
October right now. It's going to happen November ninth, Saturday,
(11:05):
November ninth. Jot that down, put that in your phone,
Save that date November ninth. Now, when what time that
has yet to be determined. We're still negotiating when we
want to do it, When can we get the biggest crowd.
It'll likely be sometime in the afternoon or early evening,
(11:26):
most likely most likely afternoon early evening at the latest.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
And why are we doing it? Or we're doing it?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
First of all, to support a restaurant that has been
very good to me over the years, A mom and pop,
not some big conglomerate restaurant, a locally owned restaurant, The
Landing in Liberty, Missouri, which is not that far away
from Arrowhead and not that far away you know the
(11:54):
complex there were the royals and the chiefs play and
we're going to hang out, just enjoy some great food
at the Landing Midwestern hospitality, and consume massive amounts of
the ben malor chicken fingers and hidden ranch. How dare you, Danny,
(12:17):
how we're going to do all this? You ask, well,
how we are going to do this? That would be planes, trains,
and automobiles, probably no trains, more planes and automobiles, and
also hotels. This is not a Fox Sports Radio event.
They had nothing to do with this. This is just
our friends at the fan in Kansas City. The New
(12:39):
FM blow Torch along with the Landing in Liberty and
so fired up again. November ninth saved that date. I'd
love to see it. We did one of these in
Kansas City. The restaurant the Landing used to be called
the Brooksider, and we went there. That was a different
restaurant before I was even married. Been married a long time,
(13:02):
so it's been a while. We're going back and I'm
fired up.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I can't wait.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
We had a great time in Kansas City and I'm
looking forward to checking everything out and saying hello to
a lot of people that I haven't seen in a
long time.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
And forget about Taylor swept right. I.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I have been invited to attend the Chiefs and the
Broncos game on that Sunday. I think it's November tenth,
I believe is the date on that at Arrowhead Stadium
against the Broncos.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
I have never been to a game at Arrowhead.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
That game is actually going to be, based on what
we've seen so far, an important matchup in the NFL.
I've been putting this together with our friends in Kansas City,
and originally there were some things that came up that
kind of delayed everything.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
But originally I was like, well, that's not going to
be that good a game. The Broncos are going to
be terrible. I was like, oh, come on, they're brutal
blah blah blah blah blah. Well it turns out no,
they'll be actually pretty good. At least at this point.
They're pretty good.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
And the Broncos, who won last night in a rat
kill situation, they will take on the Chiefs. Chiefs undefeated.
They play the Niners on Sunday. Broncos are four and three.
They should get to at least five and three, probably
be five and four, likely five and four before they
(14:30):
play the Chiefs because they got the Ravens at Baltimore.
After they play Carolina next week on October or their
next game is October twenty seventh, so obviously a little
time after they played on Thursday. So that is what's
up ahead for the Heartland Hodown. As far as the
TV show, yeah, there's a TV show.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I normally you bear the lead by man, don't bear
the lead, all right, I bury the lead.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I realize that, but it is another weekend of Benny
versus the Penny. I am so happy to have this.
I'm so excited. It's awesome and I'm really fired up.
You guys have been sending me emails every week. I
get new messages from people that listen to this podcasts,
that are listening to this show, but also sending me
(15:17):
photos from different places they're watching the TV show, whether
it be your lake house, whether it be I don't know.
We had one guy from a sports bar, which was
kind of cool, all kinds of but normally at your house.
But the show is on elsewhere obviously where we have
a TV and all that, so it's great. I'm very
(15:39):
proud of this week's episode, week seven of Benny Versus
the Penny, and the people at NBC have been great.
We had a little bit of a microphone snaffu, if
you will, last week. There were some technical issues the
type of microphone, and they immediately the circled the wagons.
(16:02):
They're like, hey, listen, we're going to fix this. And
it's so much different than the radio world. In television,
when something goes haywire, there is an army of people
that run to make sure that problem never happens again.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
And I'm not exaggerating.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
There were a bunch of people, a team of people
in Boston and in LA We do the show from
Universal Studios in Hollywood, who were working to try to
ratify the situation or rectify the situation, i should say,
And they determined that the type of microphone because of
(16:43):
the studio setup that we have. We do the show
in a studio with the green screen and the way
it's set up and the size of the room and
all this stuff and the way I talk and the
way Looney talks, and the only thing that we needed
a special type of microphone special time.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
So they went out and bought a.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Different microphone and they shipped it and there were people
testing it, and then we got in there.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
We had to test it and the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
But that was good and the show will debut normal
timeslot today.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
We'll see how what happens going forward.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
The NBA season begins next week, so we might be
bumped out of our normal timeslot depending on the schedule.
But this week today on our debut on NBC Sports Boston.
The show will air tonight at six o'clock. It's a
great time slot. Fired up. They trusted the show enough
(17:39):
to put us on NBC Sports Boston six o'clock right
after Felger and Maz the simulcast of the most popular
radio show in Boston. That show goes till six and
then we pop on with Penny Versus the Penny, and
then the Celtics will start playing some real games next week.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
So that is our debut.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
The show is produced out of NBA Sports Boston, so
that is an important and important.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Show for us in Boston.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
It will also be on various other regional cable channels
throughout the country today.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Check your local listenings.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
For example, in Philadelphia, we will be on at six
thirty six point thirty airing tonight in Philly, and that's
right after Birds Huddle inside Egle Information and then you
got us on NBC Sports Philadelphia. And if you're happy
you've happened to be in the Bay Area, don't forget
(18:37):
that you can also get your hands on this show
NBC Sports Bay Area all over the place. There several
airings today tomorrow, the whole thing. We're on in La
tomorrow later on today, and I'm not sure exactly when
this drops. Some of you have complained I tried to
find the new episode and I couldn't find it.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Well, you got to wait a little bit.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I'm talking about Peacock now. I got several messages this
morning after the radio show I did last night. They
were like, Oh, I loved your peacock impersonation. You should
do that on the podcast. No, that's only for the
radio show. I'm not gonna do the Peacock impersonation here,
but please, it's Availa everywhere. You guys complain, Oh it's
not right, I can't get the show. You got to
(19:22):
make the show available. Okay, So we made the show available.
I complained to the people at NBC. They heard me
complain as a conduit, as a middleman between you and
these big executives, and they put it on Peacock. So
it's on everywhere, and that's a very important place for us.
Right everyone's going to streaming, you know a lot of
(19:43):
places and all that. So it's important the show does
well and we want to make the show even bigger
and better. We have other ideas, we want to expand things,
and so for that to happen, in order for us
to continue on, we need you to watch the show.
And you've been doing a hell of a job. I
just want you to keep it going. And if you
happen to have some people in your life that also
(20:03):
have Peacock and they would watch it. That would help
us out a lot. I would like them to enjoy
the show. But as I've said in previous episodes on
the fifth hour, you know my position. I've met a
number of people in my wife's family or circle of
friends who are.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Not sports people. They don't get it. They're not like us.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
They're not sports people, and they know I do the show,
and so they'll bring it up in small talk, which
I don't like.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I don't like small talk anyway, but.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
I'll try to engage and I'll always say I said, listen,
you know, if you don't like football, I get it.
If you're not a gambler, I understand. If you look
at football the way our friend Lorena looks at football,
where you don't know if it's stuffed or puffed.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
That's fine. I'm okay with that.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
All I need is you to click on Peacock, make
sure you subscribe, click on it, and then you say
you have to do the dishes, or maybe you're taking
a sh shower, you got some work around the house, laundry, Okay,
you hit the play button On the newest episode of
(21:08):
Benny versus the penny. If you walk out of the room,
I don't know whether you're watching. I don't know whether
you're watching. I'd like you to watch, but we get
credit for it. I know Alf has been amazing. Alf
has kicked ass here, He's draging other people into this masshole.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Mickey also outstanding.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
So I really do appreciate the support you guys have
gone above and beyond the call of duty. I'm sure John,
our newest sworn in member of the Mala Militia from Phoenix,
he's watching the show as well, So thank you all.
All of you guys have been just amazing and really
excited about the way the show is.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
I want to make it even better. If you have
any suggestions on how we can improve the show, go,
It's only a half hour show. We have the phrase
of the week. Are you ready for the phrase? All
the way?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Yes you are now. This is from listener Scott. Not
to be confused with Blind Scott, because that's somebody else.
This is Scott from the nine to one seven New
York U nine one seven area code. He says a
blowing He wants to know the phrase of the week
this week. Blowing smoke up your ass. He said, where
(22:22):
did that come from? So initially I thought, well, maybe
this is a gag, maybe this is somebody that just
effing around, But no, he seemed to want to know this,
and I was blown away. I did not even anticipate,
like I said, well, I'll look at this.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
I won't do it. It's probably stupid, it's got some
X rated thing.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
No, no, no, Now you likely know if anyone has
ever said, maybe you use this phrase blow and smoke
up your ass, right when someone says that, it is
a figure of communication, right, a figure of speech, and
it means that at you're complimenting another person, but you're
(23:04):
not doing it legitimately, you're insincere.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
You're using the ancient art of flattery.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
You're being you're appealing to the person's ego, you're inflating
their ego.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
So I well, okay, fine, whatever where did this come from? Well,
it turns out this is mind blowing.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Way back in the late seventeen hundreds, before toilet paper,
before modern technology, it was very archaic in the seventeen hundreds.
So back in the late seventeen hundreds, doctors literally blue
smoke up your rectum, say why let me repeat that
(23:50):
for those of you who are not paying attention because
you're doing something else, fuson around while you're listening to
this podcast. In the late seventeen hundreds, in medicine at
that time would blow smoke up your ass.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah, I'm not making this up.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Mainstream Western medication, modern medicine.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
In those days.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
This was a medical procedure to resuscitate people who were
otherwise presume dead. So they think somebody's dead and then
they're like, okay, let's help the mine. Now it was
supposedly common for drowning victims. That was usually what they
used it for people that were drowning or they thought
(24:35):
had drowned. And the equipment used in the procedure that
was required by for example, on the Thames River River
Thames in the UK, the historians found the equipment that
they had placed they put near the waterways and people
(24:59):
would go on the week and have great times and
when the weather was good, and they had this equipment
available in case somebody's drown and they would blow smoke
up your ass by inserting a tube and the tube
was connected to a fumigator okay, and they would force
(25:21):
smoke into the rectum. Now sometimes they would they would
throw a more direct route to the lungs, forcing the
smoke into the you know, your mouth, your nose and
all that. But from what I was reading here, they
the doctors of the time were big believers in the
took us and you must blow smoke up the old ass.
(25:44):
And the nicotine and the tobacco was thought to stimulate
the heart, allow the heart to beat stronger and faster,
encouraging respiration. And the smoke was also thought to warm
the victim and dry out the person's insides, removing all
the extra moisture from the nice smoke. So, in a
(26:06):
shocking turn of events for listeners, Scott, and for me,
this is why we do this phrase of the week,
blowing smoke up your ass, which was an actual medical
term back in the day. God, I remember one time
I was in Pennsylvania at the Revolutionary War Museum.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
I believe it was.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
It is one of the wars that George Washington fought in,
and it was not the most exciting museum, but I
think it was in Valley Forge. I believe it was
a long time I was in visiting Philadelphia. It was
outside Philly, so it was driving through Pennsylvania and we
went to the museum and they had this one section
of how they would treat soldiers who got injured on
(26:54):
the battlefield, and it was like a horror movie. What
they used to amputate body parts, archaic, horrific, the fuel
of nightmares, and it was just the way it was.
That's how you did things, and you just had to
(27:16):
do your thing and that's that and that's what you did,
and you just sucked it up, Buttercup, but just nuts,
absolutely nuts. It was craziness. So anyway, that is that
I did have a little time for fruity fun because
(27:37):
we all got to eat. Well. Good news if you're
in the UK, terry in England, the McRib is back
for a limited time. However, not yet in the United States,
although we are told as I understand that the McRib
will return to the United States later this year. As
far as our conversation we had last night, we had
a hearty conversation about the Chicken Big Mac. None of
(28:00):
us on the show had eaten the chicken Big Mac,
although we have all heard it is disgusting and we
haven't done it ourselves. So if you have eaten the Chicken,
Big Mac, and you would like to send a review
in send it care of fifth Hour and the fifth
(28:20):
Hour email. If you don't know what that is, let
me give that to you right now, the official fifth
Hour email, which we do the mailbag on Siteay, it's
real fifth hour at gmail dot com. That's it, Real
fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Spell it all out,
all letters, no numbers, Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com.
A couple of those stories that came across my radar
Taco Bell welcoming back, the Double Decker Taco and the
(28:44):
Double Decker Taco Supreme.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
I'm good on that.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Subway has introduced a couple of the new items they have,
ghost pepper bread.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I can go for that new spicy nacho steak.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
I'd have to look at that. And Firing Meatball sandwiches.
That's a spicy meatball.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I think I'm good. Costco. We love Costco. What's going
on there?
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Well, apparently there's one item in particular that Costco has
to figure out and a lot of complaints, a lot
of problems here.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
What product is that? That would be bread? Bread Stone
fire brand bread.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Apparently it is often moldy right away, so think of
this more as a PSA if you.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Buy that brand of bread.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
They claim it's been a problem for a fair amount
of time at the Costco.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Why because bread gets mold. Popeyes famous.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Thanksgiving Turkey is back, but you have to jump through
a bunch of hoops to get your hands on that.
KFC made a lot of food news, foody fun news
this week. They have a new dessert offer. They're calling
it cherry pie Poppers. Insert your own X rated joke
on that cherry pie poppers. They also have launched the
(30:10):
new original recipe Tenders with the eleven herbs and spices
nationwide with the zesty comeback sauce.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Yeah, I'm more of a crunchy chicken guy.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
I don't mind the original recipe, but if I'm eating Tenders,
I want the crunch and I'm likely not going to KFC.
I used to eat CAMFC all the time. Also Campc's
original recipe Tenders.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Several of you. You say outstanding, many, I say many?
Two people.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
I say many. That sounds like a lot more than two.
Two people send me emails about Burger King. So Burger
King and Hidden Rancho have teamed up to create the
Big Dip and this is already available right now select
locations not available to nationally.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
It's New York, New York City.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
La, Chicago, Miami, Dallas, Houston, and San Francisco. And this
is the kind of stuff that's disgusting. It's a it's
a giant tub of ranch dressing and it's hard.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Now.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
I am not against a giant tub to dip into, uh,
but ranch is the devil's blood. And I cannot imagine
combining Burger King, which is you know, I ate it
a lot as a kid.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
I last time I ate Burger King, I wanted to
puke in my mouth. It was terrible. And I haven't
been back since, so I think I'm good on that.
All right, we'll get out on that.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Danny g will be back with me tomorrow on the
Saturday audition. Hopefully we'll be celebrating the dayers going to
the World Series. Yet again, it's every couple of years
they go to World Series. We'll see about that, but
either way, either way, we will be here, come hell
(32:07):
or high water on Saturday morning, here the nineteenth, but
today's the eighteenth.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Have a wonderful day. Remember I need your help. You
got my back. I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Benny Versus the Penny, airing on regional cable TV all
over the place today all weekend long through Sunday afternoon
when the NFL kicks off again, and also available on Peacock.
Tell a friend, get those Peacock numbers up, up and away.
The more people that watch it, the better coverage we
get on Peacock, and they'll allow more people access to it,
(32:40):
so not that everyone doesn't have access to it, but
they'll promote the show more crap like that. I have
a wonderful day, and we'll see what happens today with
the Dodgers. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Gotta murder, I gotta go
