Kutbooms.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
In the penthouse.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Wow to clearing house of hot takes, break free for
something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
In the air everywhere.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben Maller and Danny g Radio,
who is out doing his thing. He'll pop in at
some point this weekend as we are hanging out together.
The weekend begins today right now at this mall mead.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
As it is the twenty seventh day of June.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
We celebrate National Bingo Day today and we learned.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
When I saw it was National Bingo Dances.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Well, I occasionally played bingo, and I said, where did
this originate? And it actually is from Italy bingo in
the fifteen hundreds, although it was a little different than
the modern version, but it was an Italian lottery game.
So they actually started as a lottery in Italy, and
(01:18):
then a couple hundred years later there was a French
game that took what they had in Italy, the bingo game,
and turned it into the modern era which is still
used today. The card that has twenty seven numbers, nine columns,
three rows and all that.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
So that was a couple hundred years later.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I don't have the exact details on the lottery in
Italy from the fifteen hundreds. And then there was a
opportunistic toymaker in the early nineteen hundreds, about one hundred
years ago, nineteen twenties, who discovered people playing a card
game called bino, not Bingo Bino at a carnival in Atlanta,
(02:01):
and that was in they estimate around nineteen twenty nine.
So then they in nineteen thirty like, wait a minute,
we can say make some money. So this toymaker, Edwin Lowe,
said all right, we're going to market this thing, and
off to the races we went. And that was in
the nineteen thirty so about one hundred years ago. And
of course now you can play bingo on your phone
(02:24):
or wherever it's it's literally everywhere now. I did go
to a bingo game about about a year ago.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I think it was a year ago. I think I
talked about it on the show.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
So one of my wife's friends they played bingo on
a semi regular basis, and so I went down there
to the church. There was a church Friday night bingo
and I sh had a good time, which I believe
means I'm getting old. I thought it was fun. They
had like an app you could futs around on your
phone or you could do the card thing with the
(02:55):
highlighters and all that. But I had a good time,
and I'll probably play bingo again, but not too often.
So on this podcast we have it's a Mickey Mouse
kind of operation. The word of the week, the word
of the week, and it's all about the chocolate. We'll
get to that. We have some foodie fun and who
knows what else will pop up on this podcast, but
(03:16):
we begin with this. So it is a Mickey Mouse
kind of operation. So a couple months ago, yours truly
did something I'm very good at. I complained about the
prices of Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I came up in conversation. I'm not exactly sure how
it came up.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Might have been because our friend, the FSR Tech Queen
has a Disney pass and she goes all the time
and she posts photos and all that stuff, and I
got on my soapbox and started ranting and raving about
how expensive it is at the Magical Kingdom. Despite living
relatively close, relatively close to to Disneyland, rarely go. It's
(04:03):
just too expensive and it's not worth the money and
all that stuff. Well, an eagle eared not ied, an
eagle eared listener felt pity on this quagmire, and so
I would like to tip the microphone to Ken in
South Oce.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
You know, Ken has been a long.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Time supporter of the Overnight Show and has been with
the show for many, many years.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I didn't realize this at the time, but I met Ken.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Came to the infamous Baker's Field Malar meet and greet,
which was next level. That was the one that was
thrown by Rod, the ambassador of Bakersfield, and it was
a rip roaring good time. I had a great meal,
went to the Bakersfield Blaze game and it was blazing.
(04:55):
We closed down this minor league team in Bakersfield. We
had a good time. It was fun, I very hot,
a lot of crazy things. Air Force Andrew got kicked
out in the second inning and then tried to sneak
back in to the game, which was, which was interesting. Anyway,
Ken had been there. I didn't reach it.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I didn't realize that he had reached out to me.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
It's been a long time p won of the show,
and he said, hey, listen, you know I I can
invite you. I would like to invite you to come
to Disneyland as my guest can may or may not
work there, and so I think he does, but in
fact I know he does.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Anyway, so at first now I did not respond right away.
I did not.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I did not recognize the random account. I get a
lot of very interesting messages that pop up on my
direct messages, and some I want to scream at. Some
I just delete immediately. They come in all shapes and sizes.
I don't even know who most of these people are.
Sometimes I see some names that I recognize. So anyway,
(06:06):
he sends me a message on Facebook, and I'm a
little slow on that, so I didn't respond right away.
I get a lot of messages every day. Many of
them are you know, you're an a hole. I'd just
say that, you know, you rip my favorite player. Others
are I like that that was a good segment. Or
then there's people that are like, hey, you got a
(06:27):
speeding ticket and you didn't pay for it.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
You know, the scam artists. So it's all all kinds,
as I said.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
So I did not respond right away, and I thought
originally I was getting punked. It turns out it was legit.
So we then played a game of tag trying to
work out the logistics, which is always the hardest part, right,
I don't want to inconvenience Ken. Ken's like, hey, I
want you to come to Disneyland, but I want to
work with his schedule and I have some things playing,
(06:55):
and so, long story longer, the planets all lined up
up this past weekend and it was on like Disney Kong.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
It was me and the wife flashed back to our childhood.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
We met Ken over there at Disneyland and had a
wonderful time.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
It was a really fun day.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
It was a long day, but it was a fun
day at the happiest place on Earth, the Magical Kingdom,
and it.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Was packed wall to wall with humanity.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Although may I point out it is interesting to note
that since Disney now tracks exactly who can go and
who's allowed in and who's not allowed in, you had
to have a reservation and all that stuff. It is
not nearly as busy as I remember it when I
was a kid, because I used to have a pass
(07:49):
because it was really cheap when I was growing up
to get a pass to Disneyland if you lived in
Socoal So I would go on a regular basis.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
And during the summer in June, July and August, oh
my god, it was.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Bumper to bumper. You couldn't no elbow room. Now it
was busy. I don't want to make it seem like
it wasn't busy, but it was manageable. It was manageable humanity,
unlike back in the olden days where they would have
overflow crowds and they need people to leave and all
that stuff. So we took out the machete, if you will,
(08:32):
the imaginary machete, and navigated our way through the mass
of people.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Now, the key to Disney we've learned over the years,
is the locker.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Whether you go to Disneyland or Disney World, you've got
to have the locker in the right place, the right
part of the park. And in Disneyland, there's California Adventure,
there's Disneyland, and so you have to figure out you
want the locker and which part do you want the locker,
and we chose Disneyland because that's our rog favorite. You
got the snacks, you got the water, you got the
(09:02):
backup chargers, all that stuff. And I learned this long
ago that success in life, whether it's even going just
to Disneyland or working your job, ninety percent is preparation
and only about ten percent is perspiration, meaning you should
always overprepare and then just go with the flow and
hope it it's all for nothing. That's my mantra, Like
(09:25):
when I get ready for the Overnight show, even this podcast,
way too much preparation, way too much preparation. But my
philosophy is I don't want to be caught flat footed.
I know from doing radio shows early on, where sometimes
you wing it and.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Oftentimes it's fine.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
There's a lot of people that don't do any prep
and you can tell who they are because it sounds
like it, but you know there are people that can
pull it off. But generally speaking, my philosophy.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Has always been I'm gonna be overprepared.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I want to be ready to go so I don't
need to depend on any crutches. The people I work
with who sometimes show up and sometimes don't. Sometimes they're engaged,
sometimes they're not engaged.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
The phones.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I don't want to be dependent on the phones, which
which actually worked out because we went about ten days
with the phones not working. So we went about almost
two weeks with no phones.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
But it was fun.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
They show didn't miss a beat because we had plenty,
plenty of content ready to go right.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
So again, always overprepair. Hopefully you don't need it.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
But you do it. And so I'm like, that's what
I did with Disney. So we started out actually at
California Adventure and.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Packed in.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
The cool thing that you know, even though it was
was packed and there was a lot of people there.
The cool thing that I like is going to Disneyland
during the summer is like going to a zoo. It's
the Disney zoo. You're not going to see an elephant,
not a real one. You're not going to see a draft,
not a real one. You won't see any rhinos. It's
a human zoo.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
It's like a Whitman's sampler.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
And the great thing about us people is become in
all shapes and sizes, right the fat people, skinny people,
young people, old people, people from here there, everywhere, all
different backgrounds right, the Rainbow Coalition.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Everyone's all just hanging out and happily emptying their wallets for.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Disney merch that's overpriced and food and all that.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Now, as far as the rides are concerned, the first
ride we started out og this is a classic Pirates
of the Caribbean.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
It's calm, it's dark, the line moves pretty fast. It's
a classic Disney experience, and it flashes back to it,
and it was a timeless classic. I flashed back to
when I was eight years old and I'd run around
with my brother and we'd run through all the rides
and we'd try to go on Pirates of the carib
(12:04):
Mean as many times as we can, because there was
never any line in those days. As far as snacks
are concerned, since Ken hooked us up, we're like, we're
gonna go big on the snacks. We're gonna spend our
money on the stand. So we went big. We had
I had a Mickey Mouse pretzel, not bad, not bad.
My wife went with the Truro. I had one of those. Also,
(12:25):
the six dollars bucket of popcorn, not the fifteen dollars bucket.
With the souvenir container, six dollar bucket of popcorn, had
the iconic Disney corn dog and Chips Delicious Chef's Kiss
right wonderful.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I had that.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Some of the other rides we went on, I didn't
take notes on everything. One of the Jungle Book crews
because why not, Indiana Jones. Those rides are side by
side the Haunted Mansion, Ooh spooky.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
We went on Monsters Inc. In California Adventure.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
The reason we did that is because the wife's friends
came and they have Disney passes. And then one of
my wife's friends brought her her daughter who's like seven
years old, and so we were like, we got to
do some kids stuff. So we did Monsters Inc. Astro
Blasters and it's a small world for the kid, it's
(13:25):
a sacrifice.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Now, the coolest ride is the newest.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Ride that we had not been on, so went to
last time, went to Disneyland. Star Wars Land had just opened. Fact,
we went with Wrecket Ralph Ralph Irvin, who you might
remember if you're a fan of Fox Sports Radio. Ralph
a friend of mine and he lives in Vegas now.
But Ralph had a hook up and so we went
(13:50):
and hung out and told stories about.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
The Mighty six ninety and all that stuff, and Ralph.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Was great, very kind, And so we went to Star
Wars Land went on the Millennial Falcon ride. But this
time we went on the Rise of the Resistance, right,
which I'm assuming was not open. Was not open the
last time we were at at Disneyland, and it was
It was great fully immersive ride, and man was it.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
It was just perfect. I don't know where that was hiding.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I had not heard about that, but man, alive, that
was outstanding. They nailed it. They who made it, But
whoever made it, they absolutely dominated. It is really really good,
and I have a feeling that all future rides are
going to be almost exactly like that in one way
(14:41):
or another. I turned the page on that time. Now
for the word of the week. The word of the
week now, the word of the week this week is
a term that is often used in military jargon.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
It's it's used for punctuality.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Ship shape refers to something being clean, tidy, well organized,
and it means listen, you're neat your orderly right, your appearance.
If you're in the military. Mentioned my son in the
military now joining the marines and you got to have
that ready.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
To go and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
So the word of the week is ship shape, which
again means neat, tidy, in excellent order and all that stuff.
It actually it's birthplace was in Britain. It is a
British term ship shape, and it stems from the British
maritime industry and it has continued. It goes back to
(15:44):
the historical domination of the British Navy and the merchant
fleets from Britain, and so it has obviously evolved over
the term. You know, the years that we've used the term,
the term shipshape originally was ship shapen and that that
(16:05):
older version goes all the way back to the sixteen forties,
and think about that, that is an.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Insane amount of time.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
So in the sixteen forties they had that it was
directly combined the noun ship with shapen.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Meaning obviously shaped and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
And the implication was it was formed or arranged in
the manner of a ship where the you know, back
in those days in the sixteen hundreds, this was the
way to get around the world, right if you go
out in the ship and you didn't know how long
you were going to be on the ship. You didn't
know what the weather was going to be like, but
space was limited. That's obvious. You don't need me to
(16:48):
tell you that. So and also when you're on a
boat for a long time, there's hygiene issues because there's
nowhere to throw your trash other than just throw it
over the side. But you need everything you have to
have for the whole trip, and so neatness and.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Proper stowage were essential, right.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
And over time, the term shipshapen got shaved away and
it was shortened to shape because you know that end
at the end is a problem.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
And so even to this day. That was the mid eighteenth.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Century, it went from ship shapen to ship shape, and
still to this day.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I mean word that started.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
The first evidence of that term in written form was
in sixteen forty four, so I mean think about sixteen
forty four.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
It was in a dictionary.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
And here we are all these years later, and still
we end up using the word.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Not not all the time, obviously.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
But there it is the word of the week. The
word of the week is ship shape.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
So turning a.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Page on that, there's something that that kind of I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
If it got my attention, got my dander up? Is
that a phrase? I got my dander up? I've used
that phrase before.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
So the shopping going around I went to I saw
some of this at Disney California Adventure, some of the
stores in Downtown Disney, I think it was Downtown Disney.
And then every time I've gone out to restaurants or
different shopping things, I've seen Dubai chocolates.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
So I got to bug up. Mike took us. I
was like, why, all of a sudden, in the last
year we have seen these do Bai chocolates being marketed
all over America? Like, what is behind that?
Speaker 3 (18:46):
So I fell down a rabbit hole and we can
blame tick talk. That's right, we can blame TikTok for
the overwhelming saturate of Dubai chocolate. Literally, the craze started
in the US because of social media, and it is
(19:10):
a masterclass in viral marketing. First of all, And you
gotta have a story, right, You gotta have a story.
That's one of the things we've talked about in previous
episodes of the show is that even restaurants, they have
to have the story, like you, mom and pop started
here and they it was a small restaurant in the
(19:31):
garage and then it grew and it became this massive
thing and it was amazing and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
So anyway, here here's the origin story, if you will.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
It started on TikTok and there was a handcrafted bar
from a chocolate tier in Dubai, and the chocolate in
Dubai was layered with pistachio cream and it had it
was it was a pastry and had different things mixed in,
but the flavor was inspired by this Middle Eastern dessert
(20:05):
which was mostly only consumed in the Middle East. So
there was a fifteen second that's it, fifteenth TikTok. People
have no attention span, So a fifteen second TikTok video
showed the Ui Guy pistachio center and there was a
snap to it that was satisfying.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
When you bite into it. But it had the Ui
Gui center.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
And that video got one hundred and twenty million views,
and that began. That was the seed that began the
global obsession. Now keep in mind the numbers are doctored
on social media, in my opinion, so one hundred and
twenty million, there's a lot of people I'm gonna go
out and a limit say it was not actually one
(20:49):
hundred and twenty million people. Nonetheless, the original Dubai Chocolateeer
Dubai bar was only sold in Dubai.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
And it was only made in these limited batches and
all that.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
So that made it unique, that made it exclusive, that
gave it this mystique.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Remember the story, right, It's all about the story in marketing.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
And then some opportunistic business people realized, hey, we can
capitalize on this. We can sell Dubai chocolate to major
American businesses and they'll buy it because we've got a
nice backstory, we've got a uniqueness, the mystique that it's
(21:35):
only available in the Middle East, and this exclusive do
buy chocolate tear and everyone in the world's gonna want this.
And so some marketing people went to these, you know,
these big conventions were it's like, remember years ago, there
was a soft serve, there was frozen yogurt that were
(21:57):
the fat it's a fat, right, is it a trender?
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Is it a fat? These things come along as everyone's
selling chicken.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Fingers for a while and then right now it's Dubai chocolates,
and so some marketing people were able to capitalize on
that TikTok video.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
They put up a presentation, a webinar if you will.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Next thing, you know, you've got major American companies like
Trader Joe's, Crumble Cookies, Costco, Shake Shack, I can go
on on that have either used Dubai chocolate or reimagined
Dubai chocolate. Right, it's essentially just milk, chocolate, pistachio.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
And crunch.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Those are the three building blocks of the Dubai chocolate
and that became synonymous for luxury.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
And you know, obviously it's a trend in all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
But it started with the TikTok and then some marketing
people sold it to these businesses and now it is
standard in the United States that people have Dubai chige.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
And I didn't copy it.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
They've added to it. They've mixed in rice crispies, and
it's a culinary blank canvas. Where as long as you
use the term Dubai, as long as you get the
term Dubai.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
In there, oh you're good. And it is so popular
that there were some stories. I don't know if this
is true or not. It might be just urban legend. However,
there were.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Stories that said that the demand for Dubai chocolate, which
is based on chocolate and pistachio, that the global pistachio
market was disrupted because of this, and the prices swored,
and the supply chain was a supply chain shortage.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
And even read.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Some stories when I fell down this rabbit hole, that
there were some imitation imitation pistachios. There were ripoff fake
pistachio sellers do buy chocolate sellers. There was like a
black market for pistachios. You can't make it up. You
(24:19):
cannot make it up. You imagine how'd you make your money? Well,
I sold pistachios, but not real pistachios, fake ripoff pistachios.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I don't even know what that means.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
All right, moving on time now for some food he fun.
Hooray for food he fun. It's all about the food
he fun. All right, So first up on foody fund.
These are some random food stories not related to Dubai chocolate. Well,
McDonald's for our Canadian brothers and sisters, for Nico and
(24:50):
all the other fine listeners in Vancouver and all over Canada.
McDonald's has added mcpizza bytes. The bisc off mcflurry and
more items inspired to the Canadian Canadian.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Menu, so.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
You better run out to to Mickey D's all across Canada.
They have a Teriaki chicken sandwich inspired from Japan. They
have a big Rosty I believe I'm mispronouncing that it's
a beefy burger featuring hickory smoke, bacon, processed cheese, cheese sauce,
(25:31):
and a hash brown.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
All right, so they just put the hash brown on it.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
And from Italy it's the Mick Pizza bytes, which look
like they're just a little mozzarella, tomato sauce, pizza dough
a tossed together.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
What are those? I forget the name.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
There's a there's a brand. They look very similar to
the brand the bisc off mcflurry. They say it's from Belgium.
I thought it was from Delta Airlines, but you can
get that at McDonald's. They've got biscp cookie crumbs, saft
serve swirl together, a Belgium favorite.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
They say, the biscop that actually looks really good, that
is solid.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
They have garlic Mayo style sauce representing the UK and
sweet tangy chili dip from Australia.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
So those are some of the items.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
On the McDonald's internationally inspired food items that they've added.
Red Lobster has introduced a seafood boil. They're having their
Crabfest events, so knock yourself out with that. Applebee's has
added all you can eat boneless wings, chicken tenders and
(26:44):
riblets for a limited time, so hit up your Apple
Bee's and Buffalo Wild Wings has added bottomless apps for
a limited time only.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Yeah, they have decided to keep up with the crave.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Of the food nation there. The company has.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Reclassified bottomless apps starting at nine. This actually began began
yesterday and you can have endless rounds of two appetizers
at a time, including mazzarella sticks, onion rings, fried pickles,
quaso and chips and salsa.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
So knock yourself out.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
So for twenty dollars, you can go in there get
mazzarella sticks and chips and salsa.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Or onion rings and just go for it.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Just absolutely knock yourself out. Now, I'm assuming the position
that Buffalo Wild Wings will use the same trick that
Olive Garden and the others use when they have the
all you can eat thing that when you want a
new plate of food, they're very slow, very.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Slow to bring you the food.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
And they suddenly stopped coming around all that much.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
You know.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
They're like, we'll get to you when we get to you,
you know, so it's harder.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
To get the refills, if you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Arby's has introduced a new Angus cheese steak and they
say they're taking their beef game to the next level.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I like the extended winner.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
How dare you Angus cheese steak available? Participating in location?
It looks pretty good. That's one of those things.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
I can make a.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Wonderful cheese steak at home. Don't need to go to
Arby's for the cheese steak. Taco Bell has partnered up
with Tony Hawk, which I think he's my age. Good
for him and Taco Bell and skating legend Tony Hawk
introducing his personal take on build your your own lux
(29:01):
Cravings Box. Okay, wonderful, So you can partner up there,
Tony Hawk, knock yourself out, all.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Right, we'll get out on that.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Have a wonderful rest of your Friday if you're listening early.
If not, I hope you had a great Friday, because
people listen whatever, and maybe you're listening on Saturday or
on Sunday. We'll have new podcasts those days. But we
thank you for being part of the show, supporting the
Overnight Show, and we'll catch you next time. Later, skater
(29:34):
Asta pasta

Gotta murder, I gotta go.
Kutbooms.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
In the penthouse.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Wow to clearing house of hot takes, break free for
something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
In the air everywhere.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben Maller and Danny g Radio,
who is out doing his thing. He'll pop in at
some point this weekend as we are hanging out together.
The weekend begins today right now at this mall mead.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
As it is the twenty seventh day of June.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
We celebrate National Bingo Day today and we learned.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
When I saw it was National Bingo Dances.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Well, I occasionally played bingo, and I said, where did
this originate? And it actually is from Italy bingo in
the fifteen hundreds, although it was a little different than
the modern version, but it was an Italian lottery game.
So they actually started as a lottery in Italy, and
(01:18):
then a couple hundred years later there was a French
game that took what they had in Italy, the bingo game,
and turned it into the modern era which is still
used today. The card that has twenty seven numbers, nine columns,
three rows and all that.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
So that was a couple hundred years later.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I don't have the exact details on the lottery in
Italy from the fifteen hundreds. And then there was a
opportunistic toymaker in the early nineteen hundreds, about one hundred
years ago, nineteen twenties, who discovered people playing a card
game called bino, not Bingo Bino at a carnival in Atlanta,
(02:01):
and that was in they estimate around nineteen twenty nine.
So then they in nineteen thirty like, wait a minute,
we can say make some money. So this toymaker, Edwin Lowe,
said all right, we're going to market this thing, and
off to the races we went. And that was in
the nineteen thirty so about one hundred years ago. And
of course now you can play bingo on your phone
(02:24):
or wherever it's it's literally everywhere now. I did go
to a bingo game about about a year ago.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I think it was a year ago. I think I
talked about it on the show.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
So one of my wife's friends they played bingo on
a semi regular basis, and so I went down there
to the church. There was a church Friday night bingo
and I sh had a good time, which I believe
means I'm getting old. I thought it was fun. They
had like an app you could futs around on your
phone or you could do the card thing with the
(02:55):
highlighters and all that. But I had a good time,
and I'll probably play bingo again, but not too often.
So on this podcast we have it's a Mickey Mouse
kind of operation. The word of the week, the word
of the week, and it's all about the chocolate. We'll
get to that. We have some foodie fun and who
knows what else will pop up on this podcast, but
(03:16):
we begin with this. So it is a Mickey Mouse
kind of operation. So a couple months ago, yours truly
did something I'm very good at. I complained about the
prices of Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I came up in conversation. I'm not exactly sure how
it came up.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Might have been because our friend, the FSR Tech Queen
has a Disney pass and she goes all the time
and she posts photos and all that stuff, and I
got on my soapbox and started ranting and raving about
how expensive it is at the Magical Kingdom. Despite living
relatively close, relatively close to to Disneyland, rarely go. It's
(04:03):
just too expensive and it's not worth the money and
all that stuff. Well, an eagle eared not ied, an
eagle eared listener felt pity on this quagmire, and so
I would like to tip the microphone to Ken in
South Oce.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
You know, Ken has been a long.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Time supporter of the Overnight Show and has been with
the show for many, many years.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I didn't realize this at the time, but I met Ken.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Came to the infamous Baker's Field Malar meet and greet,
which was next level. That was the one that was
thrown by Rod, the ambassador of Bakersfield, and it was
a rip roaring good time. I had a great meal,
went to the Bakersfield Blaze game and it was blazing.
(04:55):
We closed down this minor league team in Bakersfield. We
had a good time. It was fun, I very hot,
a lot of crazy things. Air Force Andrew got kicked
out in the second inning and then tried to sneak
back in to the game, which was, which was interesting. Anyway,
Ken had been there. I didn't reach it.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I didn't realize that he had reached out to me.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
It's been a long time p won of the show,
and he said, hey, listen, you know I I can
invite you. I would like to invite you to come
to Disneyland as my guest can may or may not
work there, and so I think he does, but in
fact I know he does.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Anyway, so at first now I did not respond right away.
I did not.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I did not recognize the random account. I get a
lot of very interesting messages that pop up on my
direct messages, and some I want to scream at. Some
I just delete immediately. They come in all shapes and sizes.
I don't even know who most of these people are.
Sometimes I see some names that I recognize. So anyway,
(06:06):
he sends me a message on Facebook, and I'm a
little slow on that, so I didn't respond right away.
I get a lot of messages every day. Many of
them are you know, you're an a hole. I'd just
say that, you know, you rip my favorite player. Others
are I like that that was a good segment. Or
then there's people that are like, hey, you got a
(06:27):
speeding ticket and you didn't pay for it.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
You know, the scam artists. So it's all all kinds,
as I said.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
So I did not respond right away, and I thought
originally I was getting punked. It turns out it was legit.
So we then played a game of tag trying to
work out the logistics, which is always the hardest part, right,
I don't want to inconvenience Ken. Ken's like, hey, I
want you to come to Disneyland, but I want to
work with his schedule and I have some things playing,
(06:55):
and so, long story longer, the planets all lined up
up this past weekend and it was on like Disney Kong.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
It was me and the wife flashed back to our childhood.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
We met Ken over there at Disneyland and had a
wonderful time.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
It was a really fun day.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
It was a long day, but it was a fun
day at the happiest place on Earth, the Magical Kingdom,
and it.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Was packed wall to wall with humanity.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Although may I point out it is interesting to note
that since Disney now tracks exactly who can go and
who's allowed in and who's not allowed in, you had
to have a reservation and all that stuff. It is
not nearly as busy as I remember it when I
was a kid, because I used to have a pass
(07:49):
because it was really cheap when I was growing up
to get a pass to Disneyland if you lived in
Socoal So I would go on a regular basis.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
And during the summer in June, July and August, oh
my god, it was.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Bumper to bumper. You couldn't no elbow room. Now it
was busy. I don't want to make it seem like
it wasn't busy, but it was manageable. It was manageable humanity,
unlike back in the olden days where they would have
overflow crowds and they need people to leave and all
that stuff. So we took out the machete, if you will,
(08:32):
the imaginary machete, and navigated our way through the mass
of people.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Now, the key to Disney we've learned over the years,
is the locker.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Whether you go to Disneyland or Disney World, you've got
to have the locker in the right place, the right
part of the park. And in Disneyland, there's California Adventure,
there's Disneyland, and so you have to figure out you
want the locker and which part do you want the locker,
and we chose Disneyland because that's our rog favorite. You
got the snacks, you got the water, you got the
(09:02):
backup chargers, all that stuff. And I learned this long
ago that success in life, whether it's even going just
to Disneyland or working your job, ninety percent is preparation
and only about ten percent is perspiration, meaning you should
always overprepare and then just go with the flow and
hope it it's all for nothing. That's my mantra, Like
(09:25):
when I get ready for the Overnight show, even this podcast,
way too much preparation, way too much preparation. But my
philosophy is I don't want to be caught flat footed.
I know from doing radio shows early on, where sometimes
you wing it and.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Oftentimes it's fine.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
There's a lot of people that don't do any prep
and you can tell who they are because it sounds
like it, but you know there are people that can
pull it off. But generally speaking, my philosophy.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Has always been I'm gonna be overprepared.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I want to be ready to go so I don't
need to depend on any crutches. The people I work
with who sometimes show up and sometimes don't. Sometimes they're engaged,
sometimes they're not engaged.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
The phones.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I don't want to be dependent on the phones, which
which actually worked out because we went about ten days
with the phones not working. So we went about almost
two weeks with no phones.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
But it was fun.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
They show didn't miss a beat because we had plenty,
plenty of content ready to go right.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
So again, always overprepair. Hopefully you don't need it.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
But you do it. And so I'm like, that's what
I did with Disney. So we started out actually at
California Adventure and.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Packed in.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
The cool thing that you know, even though it was
was packed and there was a lot of people there.
The cool thing that I like is going to Disneyland
during the summer is like going to a zoo. It's
the Disney zoo. You're not going to see an elephant,
not a real one. You're not going to see a draft,
not a real one. You won't see any rhinos. It's
a human zoo.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
It's like a Whitman's sampler.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
And the great thing about us people is become in
all shapes and sizes, right the fat people, skinny people,
young people, old people, people from here there, everywhere, all
different backgrounds right, the Rainbow Coalition.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Everyone's all just hanging out and happily emptying their wallets for.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Disney merch that's overpriced and food and all that.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Now, as far as the rides are concerned, the first
ride we started out og this is a classic Pirates
of the Caribbean.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
It's calm, it's dark, the line moves pretty fast. It's
a classic Disney experience, and it flashes back to it,
and it was a timeless classic. I flashed back to
when I was eight years old and I'd run around
with my brother and we'd run through all the rides
and we'd try to go on Pirates of the carib
(12:04):
Mean as many times as we can, because there was
never any line in those days. As far as snacks
are concerned, since Ken hooked us up, we're like, we're
gonna go big on the snacks. We're gonna spend our
money on the stand. So we went big. We had
I had a Mickey Mouse pretzel, not bad, not bad.
My wife went with the Truro. I had one of those. Also,
(12:25):
the six dollars bucket of popcorn, not the fifteen dollars bucket.
With the souvenir container, six dollar bucket of popcorn, had
the iconic Disney corn dog and Chips Delicious Chef's Kiss
right wonderful.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I had that.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Some of the other rides we went on, I didn't
take notes on everything. One of the Jungle Book crews
because why not, Indiana Jones. Those rides are side by
side the Haunted Mansion, Ooh spooky.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
We went on Monsters Inc. In California Adventure.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
The reason we did that is because the wife's friends
came and they have Disney passes. And then one of
my wife's friends brought her her daughter who's like seven
years old, and so we were like, we got to
do some kids stuff. So we did Monsters Inc. Astro
Blasters and it's a small world for the kid, it's
(13:25):
a sacrifice.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Now, the coolest ride is the newest.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Ride that we had not been on, so went to
last time, went to Disneyland. Star Wars Land had just opened. Fact,
we went with Wrecket Ralph Ralph Irvin, who you might
remember if you're a fan of Fox Sports Radio. Ralph
a friend of mine and he lives in Vegas now.
But Ralph had a hook up and so we went
(13:50):
and hung out and told stories about.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
The Mighty six ninety and all that stuff, and Ralph.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Was great, very kind, And so we went to Star
Wars Land went on the Millennial Falcon ride. But this
time we went on the Rise of the Resistance, right,
which I'm assuming was not open. Was not open the
last time we were at at Disneyland, and it was
It was great fully immersive ride, and man was it.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
It was just perfect. I don't know where that was hiding.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I had not heard about that, but man, alive, that
was outstanding. They nailed it. They who made it, But
whoever made it, they absolutely dominated. It is really really good,
and I have a feeling that all future rides are
going to be almost exactly like that in one way
(14:41):
or another. I turned the page on that time. Now
for the word of the week. The word of the
week now, the word of the week this week is
a term that is often used in military jargon.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
It's it's used for punctuality.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Ship shape refers to something being clean, tidy, well organized,
and it means listen, you're neat your orderly right, your appearance.
If you're in the military. Mentioned my son in the
military now joining the marines and you got to have
that ready.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
To go and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
So the word of the week is ship shape, which
again means neat, tidy, in excellent order and all that stuff.
It actually it's birthplace was in Britain. It is a
British term ship shape, and it stems from the British
maritime industry and it has continued. It goes back to
(15:44):
the historical domination of the British Navy and the merchant
fleets from Britain, and so it has obviously evolved over
the term. You know, the years that we've used the term,
the term shipshape originally was ship shapen and that that
(16:05):
older version goes all the way back to the sixteen forties,
and think about that, that is an.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Insane amount of time.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
So in the sixteen forties they had that it was
directly combined the noun ship with shapen.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Meaning obviously shaped and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
And the implication was it was formed or arranged in
the manner of a ship where the you know, back
in those days in the sixteen hundreds, this was the
way to get around the world, right if you go
out in the ship and you didn't know how long
you were going to be on the ship. You didn't
know what the weather was going to be like, but
space was limited. That's obvious. You don't need me to
(16:48):
tell you that. So and also when you're on a
boat for a long time, there's hygiene issues because there's
nowhere to throw your trash other than just throw it
over the side. But you need everything you have to
have for the whole trip, and so neatness and.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Proper stowage were essential, right.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
And over time, the term shipshapen got shaved away and
it was shortened to shape because you know that end
at the end is a problem.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
And so even to this day. That was the mid eighteenth.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Century, it went from ship shapen to ship shape, and
still to this day.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I mean word that started.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
The first evidence of that term in written form was
in sixteen forty four, so I mean think about sixteen
forty four.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
It was in a dictionary.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
And here we are all these years later, and still
we end up using the word.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Not not all the time, obviously.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
But there it is the word of the week. The
word of the week is ship shape.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
So turning a.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Page on that, there's something that that kind of I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
If it got my attention, got my dander up? Is
that a phrase? I got my dander up? I've used
that phrase before.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
So the shopping going around I went to I saw
some of this at Disney California Adventure, some of the
stores in Downtown Disney, I think it was Downtown Disney.
And then every time I've gone out to restaurants or
different shopping things, I've seen Dubai chocolates.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
So I got to bug up. Mike took us. I
was like, why, all of a sudden, in the last
year we have seen these do Bai chocolates being marketed
all over America? Like, what is behind that?
Speaker 3 (18:46):
So I fell down a rabbit hole and we can
blame tick talk. That's right, we can blame TikTok for
the overwhelming saturate of Dubai chocolate. Literally, the craze started
in the US because of social media, and it is
(19:10):
a masterclass in viral marketing. First of all, And you
gotta have a story, right, You gotta have a story.
That's one of the things we've talked about in previous
episodes of the show is that even restaurants, they have
to have the story, like you, mom and pop started
here and they it was a small restaurant in the
(19:31):
garage and then it grew and it became this massive
thing and it was amazing and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
So anyway, here here's the origin story, if you will.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
It started on TikTok and there was a handcrafted bar
from a chocolate tier in Dubai, and the chocolate in
Dubai was layered with pistachio cream and it had it
was it was a pastry and had different things mixed in,
but the flavor was inspired by this Middle Eastern dessert
(20:05):
which was mostly only consumed in the Middle East. So
there was a fifteen second that's it, fifteenth TikTok. People
have no attention span, So a fifteen second TikTok video
showed the Ui Guy pistachio center and there was a
snap to it that was satisfying.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
When you bite into it. But it had the Ui
Gui center.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
And that video got one hundred and twenty million views,
and that began. That was the seed that began the
global obsession. Now keep in mind the numbers are doctored
on social media, in my opinion, so one hundred and
twenty million, there's a lot of people I'm gonna go
out and a limit say it was not actually one
(20:49):
hundred and twenty million people. Nonetheless, the original Dubai Chocolateeer
Dubai bar was only sold in Dubai.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
And it was only made in these limited batches and
all that.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
So that made it unique, that made it exclusive, that
gave it this mystique.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Remember the story, right, It's all about the story in marketing.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
And then some opportunistic business people realized, hey, we can
capitalize on this. We can sell Dubai chocolate to major
American businesses and they'll buy it because we've got a
nice backstory, we've got a uniqueness, the mystique that it's
(21:35):
only available in the Middle East, and this exclusive do
buy chocolate tear and everyone in the world's gonna want this.
And so some marketing people went to these, you know,
these big conventions were it's like, remember years ago, there
was a soft serve, there was frozen yogurt that were
(21:57):
the fat it's a fat, right, is it a trender?
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Is it a fat? These things come along as everyone's
selling chicken.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Fingers for a while and then right now it's Dubai chocolates,
and so some marketing people were able to capitalize on
that TikTok video.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
They put up a presentation, a webinar if you will.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Next thing, you know, you've got major American companies like
Trader Joe's, Crumble Cookies, Costco, Shake Shack, I can go
on on that have either used Dubai chocolate or reimagined
Dubai chocolate. Right, it's essentially just milk, chocolate, pistachio.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
And crunch.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Those are the three building blocks of the Dubai chocolate
and that became synonymous for luxury.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
And you know, obviously it's a trend in all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
But it started with the TikTok and then some marketing
people sold it to these businesses and now it is
standard in the United States that people have Dubai chige.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
And I didn't copy it.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
They've added to it. They've mixed in rice crispies, and
it's a culinary blank canvas. Where as long as you
use the term Dubai, as long as you get the
term Dubai.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
In there, oh you're good. And it is so popular
that there were some stories. I don't know if this
is true or not. It might be just urban legend. However,
there were.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Stories that said that the demand for Dubai chocolate, which
is based on chocolate and pistachio, that the global pistachio
market was disrupted because of this, and the prices swored,
and the supply chain was a supply chain shortage.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
And even read.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Some stories when I fell down this rabbit hole, that
there were some imitation imitation pistachios. There were ripoff fake
pistachio sellers do buy chocolate sellers. There was like a
black market for pistachios. You can't make it up. You
(24:19):
cannot make it up. You imagine how'd you make your money? Well,
I sold pistachios, but not real pistachios, fake ripoff pistachios.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I don't even know what that means.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
All right, moving on time now for some food he fun.
Hooray for food he fun. It's all about the food
he fun. All right, So first up on foody fund.
These are some random food stories not related to Dubai chocolate. Well,
McDonald's for our Canadian brothers and sisters, for Nico and
(24:50):
all the other fine listeners in Vancouver and all over Canada.
McDonald's has added mcpizza bytes. The bisc off mcflurry and
more items inspired to the Canadian Canadian.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Menu, so.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
You better run out to to Mickey D's all across Canada.
They have a Teriaki chicken sandwich inspired from Japan. They
have a big Rosty I believe I'm mispronouncing that it's
a beefy burger featuring hickory smoke, bacon, processed cheese, cheese sauce,
(25:31):
and a hash brown.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
All right, so they just put the hash brown on it.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
And from Italy it's the Mick Pizza bytes, which look
like they're just a little mozzarella, tomato sauce, pizza dough
a tossed together.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
What are those? I forget the name.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
There's a there's a brand. They look very similar to
the brand the bisc off mcflurry. They say it's from Belgium.
I thought it was from Delta Airlines, but you can
get that at McDonald's. They've got biscp cookie crumbs, saft
serve swirl together, a Belgium favorite.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
They say, the biscop that actually looks really good, that
is solid.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
They have garlic Mayo style sauce representing the UK and
sweet tangy chili dip from Australia.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
So those are some of the items.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
On the McDonald's internationally inspired food items that they've added.
Red Lobster has introduced a seafood boil. They're having their
Crabfest events, so knock yourself out with that. Applebee's has
added all you can eat boneless wings, chicken tenders and
(26:44):
riblets for a limited time, so hit up your Apple
Bee's and Buffalo Wild Wings has added bottomless apps for
a limited time only.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Yeah, they have decided to keep up with the crave.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Of the food nation there. The company has.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Reclassified bottomless apps starting at nine. This actually began began
yesterday and you can have endless rounds of two appetizers
at a time, including mazzarella sticks, onion rings, fried pickles,
quaso and chips and salsa.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
So knock yourself out.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
So for twenty dollars, you can go in there get
mazzarella sticks and chips and salsa.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Or onion rings and just go for it.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Just absolutely knock yourself out. Now, I'm assuming the position
that Buffalo Wild Wings will use the same trick that
Olive Garden and the others use when they have the
all you can eat thing that when you want a
new plate of food, they're very slow, very.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Slow to bring you the food.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
And they suddenly stopped coming around all that much.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
You know.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
They're like, we'll get to you when we get to you,
you know, so it's harder.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
To get the refills, if you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Arby's has introduced a new Angus cheese steak and they
say they're taking their beef game to the next level.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I like the extended winner.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
How dare you Angus cheese steak available? Participating in location?
It looks pretty good. That's one of those things.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
I can make a.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Wonderful cheese steak at home. Don't need to go to
Arby's for the cheese steak. Taco Bell has partnered up
with Tony Hawk, which I think he's my age. Good
for him and Taco Bell and skating legend Tony Hawk
introducing his personal take on build your your own lux
(29:01):
Cravings Box. Okay, wonderful, So you can partner up there,
Tony Hawk, knock yourself out, all.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Right, we'll get out on that.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Have a wonderful rest of your Friday if you're listening early.
If not, I hope you had a great Friday, because
people listen whatever, and maybe you're listening on Saturday or
on Sunday. We'll have new podcasts those days. But we
thank you for being part of the show, supporting the
Overnight Show, and we'll catch you next time. Later, skater
(29:34):
Asta pasta
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Gotta murder, I gotta go.
