Ding Dong boom Shaka laka.

Football Hour, Football Hour, Hour four. The Jets cornerback Sauce
Gardner getting Saucy said recently that he gained weight and muscle.

(00:26):
He's put on ten pounds this offseason made him feel
more explosive and faster than ever. How does that hit you?
And there are whispers that Tua Tonguebi Loa is on
a short leash with the Dolphins.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
What's your reaction to that one? And why does.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Cowboy wide receiver George Pickens continue to poke and prod
the Pittsburg Steelers. We'll get to all that and a
fresh edition to the fifth Hour podcast today as well.
We'll get to.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
All of it, and we'll do it right now with
our number four. Have a great holiday.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Call it what it is, jet setting, that is what
it is. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Malors Show. We are in the air everywhere
carving stone as we know you buy, we talk, and

(01:23):
we're doing it live on Independence Day, Happy Birthday, America.
Coast to coast border to Motor and beyond on the
vast and ponderously powerful microphones of fsre amminating live from
the lab as we practice rocket science all night into

(01:45):
the wee hours of the morning. That would be what
this is from the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved
by Big Daddy in Memphis, Mister Irrigation in Houston, JT.
The Wingman in Knoxville, and also all the other legends
who are part of the show.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Including Fry Daddy.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Now, this portion of the Ben Maler Show made possible
in part by our friends at ty Iraq. For over
forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive, ship
fast and free back by free road hazard protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire iraq dot

(02:27):
Com Await Tire Buying show B. So our lead this
hour is from just north of the Jersey Shore, a
little bit north. Now, you know, the Jersey Shore is
more of the southern part the northern part, so a
little north of the normal Jersey Shore. The Landing Strip

(02:48):
is where things are getting saucy. Things are getting saucy.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
You probably know where I'm going with this, but maybe
not so.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
The guy with a great name, not his real name,
it's a nickname, but he Asus Gardner, you know who doys.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Very few defensive players.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Can the average fan name the average consumer of the NFL.
Sauce Garden is one of those players you can name
right because of the name Sauce. So the defensive back
for the Jets, Sauce Gardner recently revealed that he has
a plan to improve his performance. He is going to
bulk up. In fact, he's already done it. Gardner has

(03:28):
been listed at one hundred and ninety pounds and it's
worked for him. At a really good start to his career.
He did reach what used to be a big deal,
the Pro Bowl, not anymore now they play tic tac
toe at the Pro Bowl.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Used to be a big thing.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
But last year was eh. So he recently added ten
pounds of pure muscle. He is ten pounds stronger, adding
ten pounds to his frame. Now, Saucegardner looking for what
a contract and he has said that he believes that
the talks with the Jets are moving in the right direction.

(04:05):
So let us discuss the question Jets defensive back Sauce
Gardener saying that he recently added all this muscle, all
this weight here, ten pounds this offseason. He said it
made him feel more explosive and faster than ever before.
How does that one hit you? So I've got store

(04:28):
brand cocktails and commercial freezer, and we're going to combine
all of these things together, and we are going to
make hot dogs and burgers. Hot dogs and burgers. We're
gonna make all right, So to kick off here, this
one hits me. Sauce Gardner's saying that I gained ten
pounds and I'm more explosive and I'm faster now. It

(04:52):
hits me like elevator music, right background noise. Every single
year I've been doing the talk show, some NFL player,
usually a player that stunk up the joint last season,
comes out around this time of the year, in the

(05:13):
month of July and says the same thing. I have
bulked up, I am more explosive, I'm in the greatest
shape of my life. They always say the best shape
of their life.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
And you know what that is.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
That is the football version. If you're in a relationship
and you tell your girlfriend I've changed, baby, I swear
I've changed. I'm different now, But it's the NFL summer
love letter to the low information fan, to the gullible fan.
Gardner who was initially thought of as a lockdown defensive back,

(05:50):
and then he became a bus driver and he was
driving the struggle bus. Now, he was not terrible, He
just wasn't so all. See, he wasn't saucy. Pro Football
Focus that's a nerd website where they track this stuff
behind a paywall, and they do business with most NFL teams,
if not all of them by now. So Pro Football

(06:12):
Focus graded sauce Gardener at seventy point two overall. Now
what the hell does that mean? To give you an idea,
he was forty seven in the NFLS. He was not
a top twenty, not a top thirty, not a top
forty defensive back. There were two hundred and twenty qualifying

(06:32):
cornerbacks and he was not in the top forty. And
that is a significant drop because his rookie year he
was at eighty eight point five on the FM dial,
which is the college radio station I worked at at Saddleback,
and then eighty eight point six in twenty twenty three.
So it's not great, not great. So what I'm trying

(06:55):
to say is Sauce Gardner has gone from Tabasco like
sauce to a store brand rather mild salsa. Now you
can eat mild salsa. I've always argued, if you're gonna
eat salsa, why would you eat mild sauce.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
It makes no sense. Just don't waste your time.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
It's not gonna clear out your sinuses, and that's why
you would eat a good sauce. Now, I don't go
super hot, but I go I'll go at least medium level.
All right, medium lew. Now, anyway, here's the deal. Sauce
has added ten pounds of muscle.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Spoiler alert.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
You know what else has been added this offseason by yours,
truly ten pounds of skepticism. So I'll believe Sauce Gardener
is back to being the old sauce Gardener when I
see it in about sixty days, little more than that,
about sixty days, little more than that, when the NFL
season kicks off, you believe we're that close wild that's

(07:57):
coming up, all right now. Furthermore, we go to Miami,
where state sponsored probed the news service of the NFL.
The NFL network tells us there are going to be
decisions for everybody to make if Tua Tongue of bay
Law is unable to maintain his health this season. Now,
the prob the news service in the NFL tells us

(08:20):
again that they say the there's an organizational reset the
way it's described of sorts, that that would take place
in the doomsday scenario for Stevie Meatballs and all the
other Miami Dolphin fans, Anthony and Anaheim and all those guys.
Worst case scenario plays out and to a Tongue of

(08:42):
by Loo once again is in the injury tent, camping out.
So the whispers, the whispers are that Tua Tongue of
by Low is on a short leash, on a short
leash with the Dolphins.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
What is your reaction on.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
This one?

Speaker 1 (08:58):
So I'm gonna rephrase this. I don't believe it's a
short leash.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
I'm gonna call this a shock caller, is who I'm
gonna call it, because that's what it is, right, That's
what it is. It is a recipe for disaster. We
talked about this a little while back at previous episode
of the show. I know Nick in Nebraska remembers that
but Tua is one more concussion, one more concussion away

(09:25):
from officially becoming the NFL's answer to Humpty Dumpty.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
It's unfortunate, but that's where he is.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Miami. They gave him a two hundred and twelve million
dollar contract. He's there forever quarterback. No, they paid him
like he's there forever franchise quarterback. Despite that, right now
they're won. Or did we buy a Porsche and then
we didn't look at it and then we opened up

(09:54):
the front of a Porsche and it's got an engine
that is for a lawnmower. It's a bleeping lawnmower engine
a in a Porsche. Now you add on, you dog
pile on that. The hipster coach Mike McDaniel, good SoundBite,
pretty good sound bite, better SoundBite than coach. He has

(10:16):
been unable to keep the Dolphins competitive during two A
tongue of I looa. He's all these injuries he's happened,
He's missed a lot of games and all that stuff.
And the owner of the Dolphins is he's camped out
just outside the pearly gates, right. He's not getting a younger,
none of us are. And you look around there and

(10:38):
the really great coaches keep you competitive when the quarterbacks
out Sean McVay with the Rams, Mike Tomlin has done that,
Andy Reid has done that. The top line coaches in
the NFL, that's what they do. And so the Dolphins
right now, it's like a cocktail party. And the twenty
twenty five Dolphins when they get together for training camp

(11:01):
in a couple of weeks here, they'll be sipping cocktails
at the Last Chance Saloon, if you know what I mean.
All right there, the Dolphins, they made this trade with
the Steelers. I'm told a lot of that was based
on financial flexibility, so they can move around and cook
the books and all that and set themselves up to

(11:23):
hit the red button, to flip the switch on the
nuclear option, meaning new coach, new quarterback, and dare I say,
a new GM who has outlasted how many quarterbacks? How
many coaches in Miami? It's three daguls, all right. Last thing,
I cannot make it through a full four hours of
talk radio without going to Dallas.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
But this is not really about Dallas.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
It does involve the new Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens,
who was throwing not curveballs, not sliders, not fastballs. How
about shade? George Pickens was throwing some shade at Pets
Bird Steelers. This is after Minka Fitzpatrick was traded to Miami.

(12:08):
We just mentioned that trade was made supposedly for the
Dolphins to regain some financial flexibility. Well, George Pickens got
on social media and he posted for Mika Fitzpatrick, super
happy for you, Broski, back to beautiful places in life,
and then he had a LOL. So some will say, well,

(12:30):
that's just tongue in cheek.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
What are you doing tongue in cheek?

Speaker 2 (12:35):
I would argue that there is a bit of truth
in every joke, bit of truth in every joke, and
there's an undertone from George Pickens as we break this
down word by word, of his obvious disdain for the Steelers.
And he did it in a subtle way, in a

(12:58):
subtle way where the non nuanced observer.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Will not realize what's going on.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
And that continues a pattern. Pickens has taken several jabs
and a few buddy blows buddy blows at the former employer.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
The Pittsburgh Steelers.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Remember the Mother's Day We did a rant about that
Mother's Day weekend, he claimed he got hacked. He was
on a plane. He said, they're the cheapest organization. And
then when people said what are you doing, he said,
ain't no stacking. After a year they're gone. They let
them n words go and all that, and there you go.

(13:39):
He said he got hacked. He said it was like AI,
I think, is what he said. All right, So why
why does George Pickens, Cowboy wide receiver George Pickens continue
to poke and prod the Pittsburgh Steelers. Because here's why.
George Pickens is a freezer. He's doing cos play.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
He's storing beef in that commercial freezer. But he's got
a lot of beef.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Where's the beef? Got a lot of beef and a
lot of it with Pittsburgh. And the reason is, you
know the answer. You don't need me to tell you answer.
You know the answer. Because he's he's got a massive
problem and he's.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Got that bitter beer face. The Pittsburgh Steelers.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Did not back up, not one, not two, not three,
not four, not five, but six Brinks trucks Like this
is some kind of great injustice. It's a crime against
the football world. The Rooney family personally insulted the entire
DNA of the Pickens family, all the ancestors of George Pickens,

(14:46):
where they were upset because of the Rooney family. They
didn't want to pay George Pickens. And why did Mike
Tomlin and the Steelers not want to pay George Pickens. Well,
we are led to believe, based on the evidence, the
available evidence, it is because because they were tired of
his mng moaning and groaning, right, his image moaning and groaning.

(15:08):
And so without even playing a game yet with the Cowboys, congratulations,
golf clap, golf clap for George Pickens. He has validated
the concerns of the Pittsburgh series. And now George Pickens's
career in Dallas hasn't even really started, even though the
Cowboys planted some positive, positive propaganda that things were going well.

(15:32):
He is standing right now at the gates of mediocrity,
not the Pearly gates, but the gates of mediocrity. And
he's he's sitting there, and he's at a roundabout and
he might end up might end up the gates of mediocrity.
And if this doesn't go well, and there's a very
low chance that it goes well, George Pickens is a

(15:54):
one year rental, so he's facing a moment of truth.
This is a make or break season because he missed
the bag. He missed the bag in Pittsburgh. And if
you miss the bag, if you fumble the bag, you
do the fumble Rooski, which he did on the back
fumble Ruski. You then have to do twice as much.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Work to get another bag.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Now, the good news is he'll be playing in Jerry's World,
which I believe is still the only NFL stadium that
has a Victorious Secret inside it. You remember that story
they added a Victoria's Secret to the Cowboys stadium years ago. Well,
if George Pickens flames out, he can always apply for
a job selling perfume in lingerie at Victoria's Secret. So

(16:37):
he's got that. He's got that in his back pocket.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
There was man independent the day Hour of Legends five
five in Easton. We come in with the with the
with the Hour of Legends calls. Listen, man, I tell
you what, I'm so happy that the militia will begin

(21:27):
their day of drinking and pordicating and blowing off fireworks.
And I was I was thinking you mentioned Tom Brady.
You know what, what do you think of him showing
up stag with Orlando Bloom to a wedding and then
uh and then kind of knocking boots with Sydney Sweeney

(21:48):
at the at the dance all night long till till
two in. Isn't that kind of a pathetics?

Speaker 2 (21:56):
Is well?

Speaker 1 (21:57):
I really haven't.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
I don't normally break down like the wedding celebration, like
I don't, I mean you do. I mean, that's your thing.
I get it.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
I mean I don't care who's dancing with who and
all that.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
I guess Sidney Sweeney is, well, she's dancing with many people,
but Tom Brady's famous.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
So people made a big deal about it. I mean,
what do you want me to do?

Speaker 4 (22:16):
It sounds like they're trying to cook up another Taylor
Swift and Travis Kelsey the guy. The guy is feeling
Patrick Mahomes's footsteps, and so now he's gotta he's got
to keep himself relevant by being a man and man.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
Well, I would think, yeah, I would disagree the age
gap with Brady and Sidney Sweeney. I think that would
be more like Belichick and his girlfriend.

Speaker 4 (22:40):
You know what the what did they talk about?

Speaker 5 (22:44):
What?

Speaker 4 (22:44):
What was the conversation like there, you know, when they
were when they were hooking up.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Legend, Well, you're talking about Belichick? Are you talking about
Belichick or Brady?

Speaker 4 (22:53):
I don't know what I'm talking I'm talking about the
supposed you know, go fake cheeter. I mean, why why
does he He's not a very good announcer Why does
he have to interject himself? Why can't he just be
happy with his career. He's a he's a great quarterback.
He cheated a little bit.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
His coach cheats, you know, keg drinking, Steve you called,
you have an agenda. You worship at the altar of
Patrick Mahomes, right, you you pray every morning to Patrick Mahomes.
And you're you're annoyed that Tom Brady still has so
many of the records and will have those records for many,
many years, and you're bothered by that.

Speaker 4 (23:35):
I I spin straight backs, but I agree. I agree
he has good records, but he doesn't. It's as sad
to watch a middle aged man interject himself into social life.
I mean, Charlie's their own.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Yes, God forbid, a middle aged man has a social life.
I agree with you, what a terrible thing.

Speaker 4 (23:56):
It's different if you're Charlie's their own.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
And she on a.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
Podcast and said, g had text with a twenty six
year old man.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Oh I saw that somebody, somebody, somebody sent me that clip.
Yeah yeah, well.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
Well that's that's that's more. That's more socially acceptable. It's
not exactly cute or adorable. But it's not. It's not
as sad as Tom Brady trying to hook up with
Sidney Sweeney.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
Al Right, are right, you're repeating yourself.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
But thank you. Have a wonderful weekend. Don't blow your
hand off at the fireworks this weekend. Let's say hello
to do we have here? Jed who fled? Not calling
his ardvark like he did yesterday. Hello, Jed who fled?

Speaker 6 (24:40):
It's Marrow show. Have we heard on our radio?

Speaker 7 (24:45):
It's a dad.

Speaker 6 (24:46):
You can say just one, I'd say, if it's not
too I gotta staying their own two shows worth saving
Dave's Lands, Red Wagbu's Ben matrangling back America, and everybody
knows that that's true.

Speaker 8 (25:03):
I didn't you just last I want you there at
the end of that because I'm in the I'm in there.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah, I like it.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
You now. Now the key to that is when you
call Glenn, you gotta put my stopped. You gotta put
my name in it. You got to put my name
in it. And when you you know the key. If
you're going to promote other talk radio people, when you
call their shows, you have to mention Ben Maller and
then they'll say who you know, then they'll say, who
now the greatest of all time?

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Back years ago when I.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Got whacked from Fox Sports Radio, Pete and Pittsburgh called
Howard Stern up. This was before Stern went woke, and
they talked about me on the on the Stern Show.
That was very kind, that was very nice. So that's
the rule.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
That's the of you. You're gonna mention other people's names,
you have to call their show and drop my name.

Speaker 9 (25:45):
I'll think you get on that.

They will not say don't they know who you are?

Speaker 9 (25:55):

That's probably why they don't take your calls. They know
who you are? You are, That's probably why they don't
take your call.

Speaker 8 (26:01):
Man, I didn't realize the naturally syndicated shows have the
capability to block collars and I and I've got I've
tried so many various apps, you know, and they have
the technology can see through that. Yeah, I don't like
they've gotten that in so connections because text now out

living legend like he Jim Morrison. I have to mention
him being the Mojo right. Unfortunately, yesterday yesterday was the

(28:07):
anniversary of his supposed death when he was only twenty seven.
You know that Paris Hotel.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Room of that whole s anyway, unfortunate.

Speaker 9 (28:18):
Yeah, it is unfortunate.

Speaker 6 (28:19):
Man.

Speaker 9 (28:19):
You know, one of the greatest bands ever, in my estimation,
the greatest band ever, Jim Morrison, the Mojo Rising. The
guy was just you know, he was like Leonardo da Vinci,
you know, he was ahead of his But anyway, mister Ben, you.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
All well, all the greats leave early, right.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
Usually the greats checkout earth exactly.

Speaker 6 (28:35):
You know that.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
I guess I don't want to be a great because
then I'll have to check out earlier. All right, thank you,
Mojo Rising. Have a great weekend, the great Mojo.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Right. You see that Mark and Brie.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
That's respect right there. That's right now. People who listening,
Oh that was disgusting. I can't believe Mojo Rising. Was
that nice?

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Oh, Darren, let's say hello real quick. Blind Scott.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Is next.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Hello, blind Scott on the north end of Boston.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Now, blind Scott, remember that the longer you take on
the air, the less time for breeze. Cheese's pretty quick.

Speaker 7 (29:07):
I'll be real quick. I'm a big fan. I'm one
step ahead of Jet. I have all those apps. I
don't use them on these stations because they all are
the same station. I can get kicked off bench show.
You know what I mean, dude. I met Spike Lee
in nineteen ninety two in subway on Martha's Vineyard. My
dad had to point out that I was taller than him.
You know, that's a pretty good story.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
I think Mark rams they have a subway on Martha's vineyard. Really.

Speaker 7 (29:32):
Yeah, they don't have change, they don't have chains on
Martha's vineyards. So they were allowed to have subway. You
know how they're like their own by like small owners,
you know what I mean. And then I met Stephen
King on the fourth Oh, I.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
Thought you met.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
I thought you meant a subway. I didn't mean as
a sandwich shop. You were at a sandwich you know,
the actual subway. Yeah, all right, yeah, no, no no.

Speaker 7 (29:50):
But then I met Stephen King on the fourth of
July of the Red Sox game, and Spike Lee gave
us an autograph that time, but Stephen King would autograph us,
so my dad big timed big crowd of people after him.
And then I met Whitey Bulls on the fourth of
July at a party once, and my parents, you have
to send me to Stummer Camp all summer long because
Whitey hung around the neighborhood. And if you've seen me

(30:12):
hang around the neighborhood, I probably would have had to
work for Whitey Bulls and I'd be in jail now
because I would have robbed all those banks in Charlestown,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
So before were killed, a couple of guys. Yeah, back
in the.

Speaker 7 (30:23):
Day, he's this union garbage thing going on.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
You know, I did see. I was unaware of it
until Danny DeVito told me, the great Danny DeVito, and
then Alf sent me a story that I read about it,
and yeah, this's a big issue, big problem.

Speaker 7 (30:34):
If we won't talk about that under here, since it's corporate,
we don't want to be involved in it, but we
support the garbage guys. They all listen. I'd go down
to the yard and give them away or whatever. Today,
I'll go down and hang with them monkeys.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Yeah, I'm sure that's what they want.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Blind Scott, you to give them more?

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Can you introduce Breeze Cheese?

Speaker 9 (30:50):
Can you?

Speaker 7 (30:50):
Can you do the big introduction we got on A
big future radio star ready to do her own show, Brianna.
She has the longest drive out of any employee at
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
That's not true, that's a lie.

Speaker 7 (31:03):
She's very talented. She drives farther than the fifty three
miles to the studio.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
It's fifty five miles and it's I live further in.

Speaker 7 (31:11):
Her She is Breeze Cheese, Breeze Cheese on Entertainment, Ready
to get your cheese for the Fourth of July and
your fireworks started, okay, all right, or.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
It's breeze cheeses.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Alrighty.

Speaker 5 (31:28):
So last week I went very bougie. I think I
was like a little too bougie.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
So I'm trying to as Clay Travis will say, you
out kicked your coverage.

Speaker 5 (31:35):
I did yellow.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
I don't know about okay, wow.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Well I just I just like I was.

Speaker 5 (31:42):
I should have been a little bit more like broad
in my like choices. So I decided to go with
like gas station cheeses.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Oh yeah, because like you know, people are you saying
our our crowd is more gas station like that anything?

Speaker 5 (31:57):
No, I'm saying, it's a Fourth of July holiday, people
are on the road travel.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
You should just do sliced American cheese.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
That's all.

Speaker 5 (32:09):
Well, actually it's kind of funny because actually, yeah I could,
I could throw that in there. Well, yeah, they have
like craft singles at some gas stations. That's kind of funny.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Now what cheese goes on? Because a lot of people
are gonna be barbecue. I don't know if you have
this prepared or not, but you are. It's breeze cheese.
You're the experts sure, a lot of people making burgers today.
What's a good cheese? Now, the traditional cheese you can
put on there, but what's a more exotic cheese that
goes well with the burger?

Speaker 5 (32:32):
I really like like a Monterey Jack, like a little
bit of like a spice, yeah, just a little bit
too yeah, and then like especially with an add some
bacon on it. I think that'd be really good. And
I know you don't like goat cheese, but goat.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
Cheese people, I know other people like it.

Speaker 5 (32:53):
They can have ye, but yeah, so goat cheese on
on a burger is actually really really good.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
And I'm not like the sound. I'm not like the
best Mexican ever, But.

Speaker 5 (33:08):
Is that I just like I'm not really good at
like my culture and like Kohita and like things like that.
I do make like Tamalis every year, but that's like
the extent I make red chili pork, Okay.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
I like, I like, there's a Tamali place in sant Ana.
I go to some really good I forget the Yeah
we talked about it, Yeah, I told you.

Speaker 5 (33:27):
Yes, it's off Fourth Street. I think our first I.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
Think so, yeah, it's a little die place. Those are
the great, those are the best places.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Yeah, I love those places.

Speaker 5 (33:35):
Well, there's a type of cheese called a wall Hawcken
cheese and it's spelled oh a X A C A
N and it's a white cheese and it has like
a mild flavor, but it has also can't.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
Say that that's racist, Yes, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
It has a little kick at the end.

Speaker 5 (33:52):
But that is also really good on burgers. And actually
people you sometimes actually mix it with American and you
can actual they do both cheeses and then so maybe
some halapenos on that. So I like just to kind
of like have a little bit of a cheese and
a little bit of spice when it comes to burgers.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
All right, now, some people even put cheese on hot dogs.
I'm not really a cheesy hot dog, not, no, you
would not do that. What about like a like a
like a nacho cheese pour some on top.

Speaker 5 (34:22):
I was thinking like over like a hot link or
like a chicken or like chicken sausage. I think that
would be not terrible because like chicken.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
Not a traditional hot dog. I wouldn't ye because I
get like, you know, I'm bougie.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
With the hot dog. In fact, I actually went to
Costco because they're closed today because it's Independence Day.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
So I went there.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Yesterday in between the two shows and picked up some
high end Wieners because they have the special like the
special kind there.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
What makes the high end, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
They're really good. They're like like a like a polish
all beef. Okay, so yeah, it's just really good.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
Okay, So which hoppings?

Speaker 5 (34:59):
Like would you what what's your like three toppings that
you would have to I believe.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
A perfect hot dog does not need any kind of no, seriously,
now I will I do, admit, I go both mustard
and ketchup. I'll interchange, like I'll go and if I go,
I get Costco. Sometimes I'll buy a hot dog in
the food court and people will give me weird looks
because I'll do stripes. I'll do stripe of ketchup, stripe

(35:25):
of mustard, so it's red and yellow all the way
across the dog, and people look at.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Me kind of weird.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Really though, that's not bad, No, it's not bad. But
people give me the evil eye because anytime there's this
anti ketchup on a hot dog cult, oh yeah, you're
very upset, and they want me to go to hot
dog hell and all that. Are any any final cheese
advice for the big weekend?

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Here breathing, No, I.

Speaker 5 (35:49):
Think that I pretty much hit everything. My last question
with the hot dog for you though, Yes, like, like
let's go Bend's bread. Do you think like it should
be like a Brioche kind of hot dogs?

Speaker 9 (35:59):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Yes, yes, I love that.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
Trader Joe's actually has pretty good hot dog bomb. Yes,
soft right, soft, gonna be soft solid, all right, So
I'm fired up, I'm hitting the table. I'm excited here,
breeze cheese. I feel like I'm at a I feel
like I'm somewhere in Italy, at a Keys restaurant, somewhere
in Venice. Have you ever been to Venice. I've never

(36:24):
been to Venice. I assume there's like cheese shops in Venice.

Speaker 5 (36:26):
I was thinking like Venice Beach for a sect, but
now I've never been.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Well, there's wheed shops in Venice Beach if you want that.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
You know, doctor Weed is in if you want to
go over at least.

Speaker 5 (36:36):
For the real Venice in like Italy.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Yeah, I need to go.

Speaker 7 (36:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
Now, I've heard mixed reviews about it.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
I've had friends that have gone to Venice and some
people say, Oh, it's magical you're on those boats.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
Other people say it smells terrible.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
There's trash everywhere and it's just a cheeseball tourrest traps.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (36:52):

judge for myself anyway, Thank you. There's breeze cheese.
