Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kabbooms.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the old Republic, a sol fastion 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 Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
In the air everyway, the Fifth Hour with Me big
Man and Danny G Radio. And it is like a
religious revival today. Not because it's the eighth day of September, No, no, no,
it is a Sunday, and not just any kind of Sunday, Nanny,
what is today.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
The very first NFL Sunday that counts?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
That's right home, baby hum. But what a great day today.
We got NFL actions starting for those of us who
are on the West coast like me and Danny G
starting from Nam all the way through that late game,
my Rams and the Lions that'll be ending roughly probably
(01:17):
eight thirty or nine o'clock. I would say, our time.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
This is the pre game to the pre game.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Yeah, so we're here early on a Sunday for your
mail bag needs and so excited. A lot of pressure
now Benny versus the Penny Season two. Barely beat the
Penny last year, barely beat the Penny last year. We're
off to a decent start this weekend. But now a
lot of moving parts, a lot of moving parts on
this food ball kind of a Sunday. So we look
(01:47):
forward to all of that today and we're gonna get
to the mailbag. But there were some things I didn't
get to yesterday, as I remember Danny, and one of
them is the International Man of Mystery.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Oh that's right, Yes, yeah, yesterday you said you were
going to try to remember this.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yes. So I'm a pretty jaded, cynical guy at this
point when it comes to a lot of stuff we
talk about. No, yeah, it's unfortunate, but every once in
a while, Danny I become Benny Brightside, and that happened
this past week on the Overnight Show. I meant to
talk about this yesterday, but we ran out of time.
(02:28):
Absolutely warned my cold heart to hear the voice of
the Great Jay Scoop. Now, if you're new to the show,
Jay Scoop, his real name is Jesse. We call him
Jay Scoop. He is a very talented musician. He's done
a number of song parodies that he's sent into the
show over the years. He's a multi platinum time Benny
(02:49):
Palooza winner. The Malard Palooza, he's won that, you know,
a ton of times. He's been the judge in the
Malard Palooza before. He's done it all in the show.
In fact, he's even the hostess with the mostess as
he set up the Seattle Meet and Greet back in
twenty nineteen, which was right before the whole world shut
down with COVID the end of twenty nineteen, we had
(03:09):
a great celebration at the Malor Meet and Greet there
in Seattle. And he's been a great supporter of the show.
He was with the show when you were on the show, Danny,
back in the day. He's been around a long time
and he's now living in the Ukraine. He's now a caller,
Hey Ukraine Online one. And if you don't know the backstory,
(03:33):
Jayscoop was in the US military and he got out
and living his life and all that and working like
everyone else that gets out of the military, you have
to live your life. Got bills to pay and whatnot
and working as a struggling musician. And he told us
he heard a calling that he needed to go and
help out his family. His blood comes from Ukraine family roots,
(03:56):
and so he relocated because he has military training and
background and he wanted to help, so he relocated over
a year ago to Ukraine. There's a war going on,
that's why he went there. But it's pretty wild that
he's he's not fighting on the front lines, but he
does end up near the front lines because, without giving
(04:18):
too much away, he helps bring the supplies that the
Ukrainian military is using against the Russians. I don't even
know all the details and all that, and he hasn't
told me everything because he can't tell me everything. He
did tell me that they can't use Wi Fi because
of the Russian drones. They monitor that and then if
(04:39):
they find you using the Wi Fi, kaboom, it's over.
So they can't use that, can't use the internet out
in the battlefield. So there's a lot going on with
that logistically. And he hasn't called the show in a while,
and he still listens to the podcast. He's not he's
not doing it every day. I'm not sure exactly how
(04:59):
often when he's doing it several days a week at
least he's helping out their military and then the rest
of the time he's got downtime. And so he called
up the other day, Jay Scoop called up on a
static filled line with beeping every so often, you know
that kind of thing, and he gave us a snapshot
(05:20):
of what life is like living in a major city
in Ukraine during a war and the phone beeping and
being static. He is one problem. And there's a lot
he had to make a lot of a lot of effort,
a lot of energy was expended for him to even
call the show because he had to. He had to call.
I think his father was involved. There's a lot of
lot of a lot of steps to it. So he
(05:41):
calls up and he give us a snapshot. And the
power grid in the Ukraine is so messed up because
of all the military activity that they they get power
if they're lucky four to six hours a day, that's it.
The rest of the time they have power. Now they
get really nasty winters in the Ukraine. So what's going
to happen there? Can't turn your heater on.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
What's going to happen with that, there'll be no power,
talked about the sound of military bombs and whatnot off
in the distance, constant tension and whatnot. And he also
pointed out that since he's been in Ukraine for over
a year, he now has a girlfriend who is Ukrainian
and he actually wants to come back to the States.
(06:24):
He'd like to bring his girlfriend. I want to leave
her in a war zone, which is a noble thing
to do. However, he talked about how difficult it is
with the visa.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah, the visa. Yeah, it's like ninety day fiance.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, and you're dealing with a war zone and the
whole thing, and you know, it's a big mess. But
it was great to hear him, and I'm so happy
he was able to call in. Hopefully he'll check in
more often. I also didn't get to the idiom of
the week yesterday, which is actually a follow up and
kind of ties into the mailbag. So why don't we
start the mailbag with Ohio out It's remember last week
(07:17):
Sarah in Minnesota. I forget which day it all runs together,
but Sarah and Minnesota a big fan of the show.
She asked about the origin of push it back, meaning
to delay something. Yeah, I couldn't find it. However, the
great power of the bully pulpit here Danny, one of
(07:38):
our other listeners was able to find it. Did a
better job than me. I guess I did a half
assed job. Bad job by me, And he emailed me.
This is Hank in Tokyo, who is a p one,
listens to the Overnight Show and this podcast and clearly
an og of the linguistic ninja powers as he saved today.
(07:59):
He sent me the following correspondence. He says, I cannot
find a meaningful origin story, and I would guess that
there almost certainly is an earlier usage. But given the
speaker qualifies the meaning of the idiom by explicitly clarifying
with the word postpone, there's a lot of verbiage in this.
(08:20):
But he says, now the rest of the story, which
I love. I quote Paul Harvey all the time, and
now for the rest of the story. The origin he
found for the use of push it back meaning to
deny something, he credited with President Ronald Reagan in the
early nineteen eighties. He said the earliest usage of push
(08:41):
it back with the intended meaning of postpone or delay.
I hope you're listening, Sarah. This is from Hank in Tokyo.
He says that he could find was President Ronald Reagan
wall in office during an interview in the Oval Office
on the twentieth of January nineteenth eighty two. Is that
what he got sworn in? Yeah, it probably was right,
(09:06):
because January twentieth is when they swear in the new president. Anyway,
the quote from Reagan was, now these people, these other
economics economists, and as I say, I myself believe that
was we had to compromise. Very possibly we wouldn't have
(09:27):
had this recession, and if we had had, it would
not be as severe as it is. And now to
the money part of the quote. So rather than push
it back or postpone, no, President Reagan said in nineteen
eighty two, the thing that I would yield to, if
it could practically be done, would be to move it forward.
(09:51):
So he used push it back and.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Move it on. I looked it up for you. Reagan
was sworn in on Tuesday, January twentieth, nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Okay, so we had already been the president for a year. Okay,
all right, so very good. Yeah, that makes sense. So
eighty one and then yeah, there was an election in
he got re elected in eighty four. Yeah, and then
that was it. He two terms and that was that.
So that was from nineteen eighty two. So thank you
(10:20):
Hank in Tokyo. And that's that's a long that's over
forty years ago, so that's a good amount of time.
I hope that helped Sarah out. That's all we could find.
I couldn't find anything. Hank found that and we appreciate.
If you want to have any questions for a future
idiom of the Week or looking up word origins, contact me,
(10:41):
you know, send me a message and we'll see if
we can help you out. We'll see if we can
help you out. We had we had on the Friday podcast.
We had Back to the Drawing Board Back on Friday,
which is attributed to a cartoonist from The New Yorker
where that came from. More of the mail bag. These
are actual letters by actual lists to the show, and
(11:03):
the first one up this week is from Masshole Mickey
from the Commonwealth. Although he lives in the Boston area,
he is outside Boston proper mass Whole Mickey writes in
from the Commonwealth. He says, happy foosball Sunday. I hope
you both enjoy the games today and delicious food that
(11:25):
you may or may not be eating. I haven't determined.
It's it's the first Sunday. I feel like I need
to eat something. It's a holiday.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Gotta do it.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Maybe I'll make a pizza or something. I haven't done
that in a while.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Gotta be some melted cheese involved today.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Yeah. Right, you got to have a cheat day on
a football Sunday and enjoy the day. So mass Ole
Mickey says, my question is for Ben, however, could apply
to you as well, Danny G. Ben, how nervous scared
were you to the possibility of Mike the Irish Leprechaun
meeting you in the North and a month ago when
(12:02):
we met And have you ever been nervous or scared
to meet someone that is a fan of your show?
Either you go, Ben or Covino and Rich Danny G.
That's from Masshole Mickey. I don't know what it's scared
is the right word. I don't know. There's only been
(12:23):
one time where I was a little freaked out. That
was with Doc Mike on a dark street in Kansas
City with a screwdriver. That freaked me out a little bit.
Other than that, and most people are nice. I mean,
somebody's gonna take the time to come out to a
meet and greet. They're probably because they like you and
they want to meet you and stuff like that. And
there are some people that have shown up that are
(12:44):
dishevel that. We had a guy the one we did
in Vegas, Mike from Vegas, was drinking. He was drinking
mouth washed out of the bottle as his beverage. That
was a little odd. It's depressing, upsetting, I know, somewhat
heartbreaking that he's so down on his luck that he's
(13:05):
doing that. And there was some people that I don't
think took a shower in the last couple of years
that showed up, which was a little odd. There was
one guy that showed up I was baffled by because
he was walking around he had toilet paper that was
on his shoe that he didn't notice. I was flabbergasted
by that at a meet that was years ago. I
was like, what is this guy doing? What about you, Danny,
(13:26):
You've done a lot of listener events in your radio career.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
I don't think scared of any listener events, but definitely
when I was a teenager in radio, I was scared
of meeting girls that we met on the studio lines.
My name man coworker of mine at the radio station,
his name was Brett Conley. Brett Conley on the air,
and Brett was famous for setting up these listener meetups
(13:54):
with the opposite sex girl who would call our radio
station and Brett would tell me, Hey, Danny, we're going
to go to Danny's. I'm going to get us a table.
You meet me there. That Anna girl, she's she's going
to come meet me. Yeah, dude, I think she's hot.
I could tell from her voice.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Oh that's always risky. Yeah, always a risky proposition there.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
The old joke and broadcasting is if the girl sounds sexy,
she's probably a really big mama. If she sounds like
to me Moore, she's probably actually good looking.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
It's a hit and miss, you know.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Yeah, the voice, the voice could be very deceiving, deceiving.
And this guy, Brett was famous for this and would
pull this move where I told him, I'm like, dude,
the program director is going to find out you're going
to get fired because, first of all, the general manager
and program director would always lecture the staff on not
doing this sort of thing. Brett did not listen and
(14:58):
met as many girls as he could. If he walked
into a Denny's and the girl was already there and
he saw her, or she walked in and he didn't
like the way she looked, he would just walk out.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
It's cold blooded.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Yeah, and then that girl then would you know, hate
his guts.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
He was a selective. A selective. You're not supposed to
be selective.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
It's not like he was some awesome prize.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Yeah, I'm sure he wasn't. Yeah, exactly, all right, Well,
that's that's it. I used to go to Denny's when
I had my board hop at the time, Julio, a
single living in Hollywood, did the weekend overnight show, and
we would cruise into Denny's on a Saturday morning at
like four in the morning, and we would sit in
(15:43):
there and the it was the Denny's down the street
from the studio where they have the hotel wrapped around
the Denny's. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah,
and that at the time. I'm sure they've cleaned it
up now. I'm sure it's not like this anymore. This
was many, many years ago. This was over twenty years ago.
It was a hooker hotel. There were pimps and hose
(16:05):
in the air everywhere. I mean, it was over the time,
and it was like going to I like going down
sometimes too. Here in LA We can go down to
Santa Monica or Venice Beach. Probably Venice Beach is a
better example. It's like a human zoo, and you see
what's going on there. Times Square used to be like that.
Not so much anymore. South Beach in Miami, New Orleans.
(16:26):
I've not been to New Orleans, but my friends have
told me it's very similar to that Vegas Fremont Street
in Vegas. So okay, fine, all right, so we you know,
we go there and it's just unbelievable. The hookers are
coming in there to eat their eggs. Over Miami.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Well, I know that hotel. I got locked out of
my apartment in Burbank one day and I had need
of a hotel that was near our studio, and that's
the hotel I got a room at. What an experience
man and two doses of penicillin later able to return
to normal.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
So tell the best case scenario. What that hotels. It's
only bed bugs, that's the best case scenario.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Bugs.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
It's not.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Bed bugs or the clap your choice.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I mean the ladies there. I do not know how
many customers they had that particular night, but it looked
like they were really hard working women.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And it was the end of the night and they
had their I guess their pimps or whatever they're hanging
out and just looked looked like they had had some
pharmaceuticals going. It was quite the quite the scene. We
saw some fights in there. People fighting with each other,
women fighting with the other women. It was it was
quite the story, all right, Thank you masshole Mickey. Next
up is Todd, my buddy Todd. He says, hey, Ben
(17:43):
and Danny, I have decided to try the fasting diet
in Aimant and fasting. I have been at it for
almost a month. Now, well good for you time, he says.
I first fasted for two days a week, and now
I'm trying three. I experimented in the first couple of
weeks with eating a little a few times a day,
(18:04):
but found that my cravings were stronger that way rather
than not having anything other than liquids. I think I'm
finally getting there and have found that drinking plenty of
water and electrolyte drinks has been crucial help as well.
Any tips, Yeah, so the electrolytes is the key thing.
(18:25):
You also want to be careful on what you drink.
Just water with electrotes, but some electrolytes have calories. There
is this great debate in the cult of interminute fasting
whether or not just having electrolytes that have cawries is
going to end your fasting routine. I've gone back and
forth on that. When I did my five and a
(18:46):
half day fast before the TV show when we had
to go back to Boston and tape some stuff. When
I did that, I did not use anything other than
salt because there's no calories in salt.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
And you look super thin on those opens and close outs.
By the way, Oh well, thank you. You look like
you need a hamburger. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I looked a little anemic. I think I lost too much,
like too much weight.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Yeah, you need some of Looney's steroids. Here's time, Loony.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yeah, let's go down to Tijuan and get some.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Goa good though for the camera, right, because you didn't
want to get that extra ten pounds they always talk
about from the camera.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Lend Oh, yeah, yeah, you know, I made sure. That's
why I didn't eat for like a month. I ate
like once a week for a month, just to try
to make that magic. So Todd, Yeah, I just recommend
a little salt in the water enough enough so you
get it avoid the headaches fast for a while. Usually
by the two day mark you start getting headaches, and
it's a problem.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Probably harder for people coming off of caffeine, right, because
you're not a coffee drinker or a soda drinker. But
somebody that's coming off of that trying to fast, it's
probably a harder transition.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah. I take like a caffeine supplement sometimes, but yeah,
if you're a coffee drinker, it's probably not for you.
Sarah in Minnesota writes, and that she made me smile.
We talked about Sarah earlier because she had asked that
question about the idiom and the origin of it. She said,
I wanted to say some video and photos from the
(20:23):
Peacock debut of Benny Versus the Penny, and sure if
you like, and so she sent a bunch of photos
here she's at her cabin and it's really cool. So
she's in this rustic, old school cabin that looks amazing.
By the way, Sarah, I'm jealous. I don't have a
cabin that's awesome. Probably on a lake right in Minnesota,
(20:45):
one of the ten thousand lakes there, actually there's eleven
thousand whatever. Beautiful fire and show off. Yeah, so pretty
cool as we're in one hundred and fifteen degree heat.
Yeah exactly, Thank you, Sarah. And you have a beautiful
cabin there. I'm jealous. It's awesome. I did enjoy Minnesota
(21:06):
a time, but I didn't go when the mosquitoes were out.
I didn't go when it was freezing. I went when
the weather was perfect, and it was just an amazing,
amazing time at that Malor Meet and Greet Jonathan and Delaware.
Reacting to a call we had this week from Fats
in Philadelphia, he says, Hey, please do a Delaware Valley
meet up. Just give us some advanced notice here. He says,
(21:29):
I've been following you around since I was in high school.
Oh my god, Jonathan, damn, how time flies.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
He enjoys the show. He says, happy football season, which
begins today, and FATS in Philadelphia invited invited us to
come to Philadelphia. Of course, we have to pay our
own way. I'd like to go back to Philly. I
mentioned this on the Overnight Show. But when I was
in Philadelphia the last time, the weather was terrible. It
was rainy and gloomy. The whole time I was there,
(22:00):
food was amazing. I was walking around like a boss
South Philly. I was like, oh man, this is like
Tony Bruno's old stomping grounds and all that. Had a
great time even with the bad weather. But I'd like
to go when the weather's good, which I think I've
already missed the window, Danny. I think I've already missed
the window. Although we are heading into the fall season
and then before you know it's Halloween. Stuff's already up
(22:21):
at Costco. Have you seen that?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Yeah, And the pumpkin spice latte crap is big at
Starbucks and all that. Like all the fall crap is
upon us. But it doesn't make sense for our current
weather because this is the hottest it's been for us
all summer long.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Those are corporate decisions, Danny. Those are corporate it is
it's ridiculously hot. It was a pretty mild July, and
even August was relatively mild.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
But September, yeah, over one hundred degree temperatures coming up
for the next few days, and then a big drop off.
Suddenly it goes to like eighty six degrees and then
to like eighty degrees in a week from now. So
it's weird. We had one hundred we had like phoenix
weather for two weeks.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
It's like we moved to Scottsdale. Next up, Ryan from
Shrewsbury in the Commonwealth says, hello, gentlemen, I am so
happy that season number two Benny versus The Penny's Bed. Well,
thank you, Ryan, I'm happy to now feels like football season.
Speaking of TV, what was your guys favorite show growing up?
(23:26):
And what is your favorite show your go to show today?
I also took a screenshot. Oh yeah, well that there
it is. That's beautiful. Although Ryan, you're not in a
cabin like my friend Sarah, but that thank you for that.
That's awesome. That does that fires me up. The boys
that are sending photos, James the pool guy, send some photos,
(23:47):
mister nice guy in the Bay Area, keep them coming in.
Keep all season, Keep them coming in. Favorite TV show
as a kid depends how old, depends how old Ryan
we look. Kid, it was Saturday Morning cartoons. Loved them.
Saturday Morning Cartoons, all about it. And then as I
got a little older, I used to love game shows.
(24:08):
I loved watching Let's Make a Deal with Monty Hall
because I'm old, I liked that was another one. Uh
pressure luck, big money, big money, no way me stop.
And then they had the Yeah like jet I watched
Prices right with Bob Barker and that that needle dick
(24:28):
microphone that he had. Uh that was you know, there
were some great sitcoms back in the day. They I
thought they were great. So, I mean I was a
little kid, I watched Mash and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
What about you, Danny, Well, let's see, as a little kid,
I loved Tom and Jerry cartoons and Loon Meet tunes
and Woody Woodpecker stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Then Stone's and the Jetsons that was big too.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yeah, those cartoons kind of creeped me out a little bit.
I'm not sure why, I look back. Maybe it was
that little alien that you to fly around with Red Flintstone.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Great Kazoo is that?
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Yeah? The Great Kazoo. I couldn't figure out why there
was an alien with the flintstones.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
The people that wrote those cartoons must have been so
like the Hannah Barbera people.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
And all that. Oh yeah, they were smoking.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Right, I mean the nay with like woody woodpeckers the
name of a character, right, they just like this stuff.
The names of the characters had these double entendres. As
an adult, you look back at it, You're like, whoa
wait a minute, right, yeah, yeah, the pink panther. You know,
you all at It's like it's going on here.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
There's some wacky storylines and characters in those old school cartoons.
That's why some of them are outlawed now they are
far from PC. Yeah. As a teenager, I had a
collection of VHS tapes. I taped the pilot episode on
through the first few seasons of The Fresh Prince of
(25:55):
bel Air. We were so excited when hip hop collided
with television, and of course the famous soap in for
that show, and Will Smith went on to be a
movie star. But you know, now, this is a story
all about how my life got flipped turned upside down,
and I'd like to take a minute just sit right there.
(26:16):
I'll tell you how became the prince of a town
called bell Air.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Solid you remember that off the top of your head.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Heymen, working right next to bell Air as adults.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah, we're down the hill from bell Air. Yes, hell,
that's where all the rich people live. We're down here
with the commoners in the oaks. But keep my wife's
name out of your mouth and all that is he
is he still toxic? Will Smith? Has he still been candling?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I don't know if he's been out of the spotlight
for long enough because he was trying to lay low.
That's the game plan. You try to let enough time
go by so that you know you can have the comeback.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Yeah, Ozzie was from Western Australia, says, my mate's big
and the microphone throttler.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
The microphone throttler.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
So the missus has had a mishap, rolled her ankle
and broke it in two places. Ozzie Wah says he
just had to drive over an hour to the hospital.
That must have been a pleasant drive, he says, that's life.
So my question for you gents, how many bones have
you broken?
Speaker 3 (27:23):
If any? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
The only thing I've broken some fingers and toes. But
I've never never broken like a leg or an arm
or anything like that, or a wrist. My right hand
was getting a workout, damn you. What about you, Danny?
Speaker 3 (27:40):
And the only thing I've ever broke is my nose.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Oh that's a big that's a big one though, you
break it.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Yeah, it was boxing as a kid.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
All right, Well that's not probably the answer you won,
Ozzie was by the way, we were waiting for you.
You have you have an alibi. We'll give you an hour.
But we were gonna have you use one of your
pigs with Poppy. Instead, we're using Lorraina Picks of the
Week with Loraina and Poppy.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
How did Poppy's first pick do?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Well, we don't know. The game is tonight. We want tokay,
we we're gonna we're gonna change this, gonna morphe a round.
So tonight he picked on fold.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
I thought, I thought maybe he picked the Friday game.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
No, no, it was it was a Sunday night game.
I think we're going and it's gonna change it. We'll
each have them picked three games. They can pick whatever
three games they want. One game is not enough. The
problem is Poppy wants to do his own TV show. He's,
as you know, very modest, and he's like, and we
don't want we just want the picks. We don't need
all the repartee, we don't need that. So we're still
(28:39):
messing with that. But we were gonna have Ozzie wazuse
to one of his picks instead we we were going
with Larraina. And I love Lorena and I just want
to point out that quote. I used this on the
air the other night from Bill Parcells, and he had
this line about he saw his wife and his wife
(29:00):
said how great she was, but she didn't really know
football right, and it was something like his wife couldn't
tell if the ball was puffed or stuffed right. And
in many ways, that's that's our friend Loraina, right.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
I love that about her, that she's great at what
she does, but she's not like yeah whatever.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
So we teased her constantly because last season with that
FSR prediction sheet that's in the studio every year for
her NFC champ, she wrote an AFC team in there
and we tried to explain it to her and she's like,
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yeah, yeah, Well we and Super Marcus Steve can back
me up. And so she says she's a cowboy fan, right,
so you're a cowboy fan. So I asked her a
bunch of cowboy questions and it was like, yeah, who's
the coach of the cowboys? You know, who is the
quarterback for the Cowboy I forget exactly what I asked,
but it was all stuff from from back in the day,
(29:57):
back in the and she got none, none of them.
We love her, he's wonderful. And yeah she's on. She's
out for a few more days. She'll be back later
this week.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Be it's like the people who do really good in
March madness. Because when she was board operating the Covino
and Rich Show before she went to you, we would
do picks every Friday, and she would win a lot
of the picks, just because when you don't know about it,
you just go with what your gut tells you at
the moment. She based it on logos and colors and
(30:29):
things like that in the city, and she would get
a lot of the picks, right because she's not sitting
there dissecting stats and overthinking everything.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yeah, yeah, for sure. And that was quite the stray
we traded. If you didn't hear about this. Back in
the day, we traded Iowa Sam and we got the
rights to Loreina.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
We got a cash consideration at least, well, what we.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Got as an added bonus is we got a new
water machine in the Smurf kitchen, so we upgraded the
water machine. That was part of the trade. You didn't
want to throw that in, by the way, Danny, you
were like, we're not gonna Coveno and Rich are not
going to put a water machine in there. You're on
your own. I said no, Iowa Sam's got a little
more experienced than Lorena, and we were taking a shot
(31:12):
with Lorena. And so you have to throw in a prospect,
which is a suspect.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Well, and of course you didn't mention we got your
twenty twenty five first pick. So yeah, they're all suspects
right until they pan out.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
The water is great and the little Loraina giving out
love advice.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
I'm the doctor next level. What could go wrong with that?
She's a single mom who guys run away from exactly Jim,
and she's awesome. By the way, you, as Chris Myers
would say, you kid because you care. So Jim writes
in from Parts So Known, he says, Hey, Ben, what
(31:49):
do you think of Andrew Siciliano, the new broadcaster for
the Cleveland Rest Yeah, with built in satellites.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
How dare you?
Speaker 3 (31:58):
So?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
We talked about this on the Overnight Show. You must
have missed the Jim, But I'm very excited for Andrew.
I've known him for many, many years. He hosted the
Red Zone channel on Direct TV, and he worked at
NFL Network for years and stuff. So he's a guy.
You always feel good for people that you know who
(32:21):
weren't assholes, and that would be him. Very nice, very
kind person. I sent him some text that actually after
we recorded Benny Versus the Penny on Thursday, this episode
this Weekend which still airs today, and a few more
runnings before the football kicks off. As we're doing this
in real time, and I was reached out to Andrew
(32:42):
and he got back to me, and I'm excited for him.
He grew up a Cleveland Browns fan. We used to
bust his balls Danny in the early days of Foxman.
Why the fuck are you a Cleveland Browns fan. He's
from Virginia, that's from like the DC area, the DMV area,
and it's like the family was Cleveland Brown On fans
and stuff, and so he's the freaking It's like it
(33:03):
would be like if you became the radio voice of
the Raiders or something like that.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Yeah, Yeah, I was just gonna I was just gonna
say that that's really cool.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Yeah, So I'm very happy for him. It's it's great.
And as much as I've had a love hate relationship
with the Browns fans, they are a passionate bunch, the
Cleveland brown fan base.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
See, it would be like the equivalent of you becoming
the Rams mascot, that big rambant guy, Ramon all me
and Ramming all knight.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
That's not the name of the mascot.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
It's not that he thought he was Rammitt.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I don't. I don't think that's the name I thought
taking that up. That's the song is Rammitt all Day,
ram It all night? Yeah? All right, Mike and the
OCI will do a few more Mike and the ocum.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Why is Rammitt walking? Funny?
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Rammitt needs some ice on his growing Mike in the
oc or, he says, OC's fourth oldest c Fullerton. He says,
Hey Ben and Danny g. Ben. After the constant barrage
of WNBA and tennis propaganda.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
On your show lately.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
I have to ask if you were forced to watch
either the WNBA finals or the US Open finals, which
one would you watch. Basically, I'm asking you to choose
between Eddie Garcia and Brian Finley. I'd like your answer
as well, Danny G. Also, do you guys consider peanut
butter a liquid or a solid? TSA says it's a liquid.
(34:27):
H that's interesting. Is that true? They think that peanut butter,
a chunky peanut butter, is a liquid. That's not. It's oil.
It's oil and peanut, right.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Yeah. I was gonna say, well, what happens if it's
in the sun. That's true, it melts and yeah. So
the answer to your question, it's a great question, Mike.
It's one of those Sophie's Choice questions.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
There's no good answer WNBA finals or US Open finals.
So I tried to figure out the US Open tennis.
How long does a tennis match last?
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Dude? I got the answer too long?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Okay, So I'll go WNBA. Then I'm gonna go w
because whatever is quicker and gets me out of there,
I'm in. I don't want to spend too much time
and I have been to New York during the US
Open when I was doing stuff for the Dodgers. They
used to play the Mets every August and the US
Open would be going on, and it was actually at
the hotel we stayed at. We stayed at the Grand
Hyatt in New York, and they they would have all
(35:31):
these tennis players who would be staying there. So we'd
see them in the lobby. We're going out to get
wait for the bus, and they'd be all with their
their rackets, their managers and all that stuff. So I
didn't know who any of them were, but they were
they were staying there.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
I know that the Williams sisters kind of changed the
narrative a little bit, But as kids, we always kind
of looked at tennis as sort of an elitist sport.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Oh yeah, tennis and golf one percent. Now, I'm right
there right there with you and I. As a kid,
you were around the same age. We had like these
fames like Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe, these legends of
tennis that would would go at it.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
But if McEnroe like went on a tirade and broke
a couple of rackets, you could see that on the
sports machine, the George Michael Sports Machine. Yeah, or maybe
did see highlights. He didn't have to watch the whole
damn tennis match.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Well in LA he could have been one of Rogan's
heroes if he had done that. Possibly we had Mac
and Roll on the show. I don't need to get
into that story. Al from the air show, says Ben
as someone who also grew up twenty minutes from two
different air bases. I was wondering what happened to the
two that were decommissioned by the original Malor mansion. Have
they been repurposed? Yes, you look it up. There's a
(36:47):
thing called the Great Park which is in Irvine, the
OC Gray Park, I think it's called, and it's a
they made. It's not even all the military, but some
of the military bases housing. They built houses, and then
the other part of it is this giant park where
they have an outdoor auditorium and a bunch of cool
(37:09):
stuff soccer fields, baseball.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
Did they leave any warheads for the kids to play with?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Well, if you did, you can find some moreheads. The
other one is more interesting. There was a Tustin Marine Airbase.
They had these giant wooden hangers. We talked about it
alf and oh that's right, and they were they couldn't
tear them down. They were from World War Two. They
built these giant blimps and they would they would fix
(37:35):
planes in there because they didn't want someone to see
from you know, spy planes or whatever it is seeing.
They were so paranoid. So they had these giant wooden
hangars and one of them burned down a few months back,
and it was very sad.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
That was all over the news, especially here in southern California.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Also because if you happen to be downwind, you got
a cloud of poison that came to your city.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Some ambulance chaser TV commercials pretty soon.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
Yes, were you down win when the hangar at the
Tustin Airbase back in the day burnt down you So
that was a mess. But they built housing there and
they built some shopping and whatnot, which is really crazy.
And I go back to that area every once in
a while, and as a child, I remember going having
the chance to have the open house and walk through
(38:20):
tanks and fighter jets and see all the crap. And
now it's like a Costco or a Walmart or whatever,
like what the heck's going on there?
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Man?
Speaker 1 (38:29):
What's up with that? Gary from Pittsburgh resident says Ben,
I've listened to the Mailbag podcast recently. You mentioned you
didn't like salads unless they're Canadian salads. I thought, what
is a Canadian salad? So I used your sage advice
and I just googled it. The recipes I saw were repulsive,
with barley and chickapeas and cranberries, so I thought maybe
(38:53):
that was a p one inside reference. So then I
went to Google's Evil Twin Urban Dictionary and I typed
that in and OMG, if that's what you like, your
mama Mahler finds out, it will be benny versus the halfpenny,
he says. Please tell me what I'm missing, He says,
(39:13):
regarding my last post about steak cooking, I expected a
how dare you? But not a double I consider it
a badge of honor. Well you should, Gary, Yeah, so
I guess I have to spell it out for Gary.
The Canadian salad is a witty way of saying the poutine,
(39:34):
which is from Quebec oh Corda. The fries top with
cheddar cheese curds doused in beef gravy and did you know, Gary,
I looked this up for you. This is only for you.
It's a fun fact about Quebec. The word poutine comes
from the Quebecian slang for mess. They say it's a
(39:57):
combination of the word mess and the word for pudding.
And the legend is that boutine is not that old.
It is not that old. Supposedly it started out at
a in the nineteen fifties, nineteen fifty seven. I think
it's a long time ago, but in the big picture,
is not that long. The dish first appeared in nineteen
(40:18):
fifty seven in a Quebec dairy town of Warwick in Quebec,
and a customer asked the restauranteur, this French dude, hey,
can you put some cheese, curds and fries together in
a brown paper bag? Because the guy was in a hurry,
and the chef, the French chef said oh yeah, they'll
(40:40):
do whatever he did, and then on his way out
he supposedly said in French the equivalent of that, that'll
make a damn mess. And that combination grew, and you know,
there you go, and they started adding gravy to it.
In the nineteen sixties. So that's way too much information
(41:01):
about Poutinea.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
You made me hungry for some game day eats right now.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
Yeah, Well, it is an NFL Sunday Week number one
continues today and then tomorrow. That's it for us, Danny,
anything you want to promote. I got Benny Versus the
Penny till about one o'clock today Random Cable Television, also
on Peacock, and then that's it for that. They'll kill
the show for another week, and then we'll have another
show starting next Friday, and I'll be back on the
radio breaking down all the NFL games tonight. The Magic
(41:29):
Radio Box. Can't wait for that.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
Yeah, Tomorrow, Monday, we will react to all of the
NFL action on Covino and Rich from two to four
pm on the West side, and that's five to seven
pm in beautiful Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Harrisburg, PA. I have a wonderful rest of your Sunday.
I'll be on tonight eleven o'clock in the west, two
am in the East. If you miss any of the show,
it's all up on the podcast. We call that the
Original Recipe Podcast, this of course the Extra Chris Me Pod,
and we will catch.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
You then minshew Mania, Let's go Raiders, the Raiders and
hopefully your rams show up for you.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
Well, you definitely ram it all night tonight Later Skater
got a murder.
Speaker 3 (42:14):
I gotta go.
Kabbooms.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the old Republic, a sol fastion 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 Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
In the air everyway, the Fifth Hour with Me big
Man and Danny G Radio. And it is like a
religious revival today. Not because it's the eighth day of September, No, no, no,
it is a Sunday, and not just any kind of Sunday, Nanny,
what is today.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
The very first NFL Sunday that counts?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
That's right home, baby hum. But what a great day today.
We got NFL actions starting for those of us who
are on the West coast like me and Danny G
starting from Nam all the way through that late game,
my Rams and the Lions that'll be ending roughly probably
(01:17):
eight thirty or nine o'clock. I would say, our time.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
This is the pre game to the pre game.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Yeah, so we're here early on a Sunday for your
mail bag needs and so excited. A lot of pressure
now Benny versus the Penny Season two. Barely beat the
Penny last year, barely beat the Penny last year. We're
off to a decent start this weekend. But now a
lot of moving parts, a lot of moving parts on
this food ball kind of a Sunday. So we look
(01:47):
forward to all of that today and we're gonna get
to the mailbag. But there were some things I didn't
get to yesterday, as I remember Danny, and one of
them is the International Man of Mystery.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Oh that's right, Yes, yeah, yesterday you said you were
going to try to remember this.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yes. So I'm a pretty jaded, cynical guy at this
point when it comes to a lot of stuff we
talk about. No, yeah, it's unfortunate, but every once in
a while, Danny I become Benny Brightside, and that happened
this past week on the Overnight Show. I meant to
talk about this yesterday, but we ran out of time.
(02:28):
Absolutely warned my cold heart to hear the voice of
the Great Jay Scoop. Now, if you're new to the show,
Jay Scoop, his real name is Jesse. We call him
Jay Scoop. He is a very talented musician. He's done
a number of song parodies that he's sent into the
show over the years. He's a multi platinum time Benny
(02:49):
Palooza winner. The Malard Palooza, he's won that, you know,
a ton of times. He's been the judge in the
Malard Palooza before. He's done it all in the show.
In fact, he's even the hostess with the mostess as
he set up the Seattle Meet and Greet back in
twenty nineteen, which was right before the whole world shut
down with COVID the end of twenty nineteen, we had
(03:09):
a great celebration at the Malor Meet and Greet there
in Seattle. And he's been a great supporter of the show.
He was with the show when you were on the show, Danny,
back in the day. He's been around a long time
and he's now living in the Ukraine. He's now a caller,
Hey Ukraine Online one. And if you don't know the backstory,
(03:33):
Jayscoop was in the US military and he got out
and living his life and all that and working like
everyone else that gets out of the military, you have
to live your life. Got bills to pay and whatnot
and working as a struggling musician. And he told us
he heard a calling that he needed to go and
help out his family. His blood comes from Ukraine family roots,
(03:56):
and so he relocated because he has military training and
background and he wanted to help, so he relocated over
a year ago to Ukraine. There's a war going on,
that's why he went there. But it's pretty wild that
he's he's not fighting on the front lines, but he
does end up near the front lines because, without giving
(04:18):
too much away, he helps bring the supplies that the
Ukrainian military is using against the Russians. I don't even
know all the details and all that, and he hasn't
told me everything because he can't tell me everything. He
did tell me that they can't use Wi Fi because
of the Russian drones. They monitor that and then if
(04:39):
they find you using the Wi Fi, kaboom, it's over.
So they can't use that, can't use the internet out
in the battlefield. So there's a lot going on with
that logistically. And he hasn't called the show in a while,
and he still listens to the podcast. He's not he's
not doing it every day. I'm not sure exactly how
(04:59):
often when he's doing it several days a week at
least he's helping out their military and then the rest
of the time he's got downtime. And so he called
up the other day, Jay Scoop called up on a
static filled line with beeping every so often, you know
that kind of thing, and he gave us a snapshot
(05:20):
of what life is like living in a major city
in Ukraine during a war and the phone beeping and
being static. He is one problem. And there's a lot
he had to make a lot of a lot of effort,
a lot of energy was expended for him to even
call the show because he had to. He had to call.
I think his father was involved. There's a lot of
lot of a lot of steps to it. So he
(05:41):
calls up and he give us a snapshot. And the
power grid in the Ukraine is so messed up because
of all the military activity that they they get power
if they're lucky four to six hours a day, that's it.
The rest of the time they have power. Now they
get really nasty winters in the Ukraine. So what's going
to happen there? Can't turn your heater on.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
What's going to happen with that, there'll be no power,
talked about the sound of military bombs and whatnot off
in the distance, constant tension and whatnot. And he also
pointed out that since he's been in Ukraine for over
a year, he now has a girlfriend who is Ukrainian
and he actually wants to come back to the States.
(06:24):
He'd like to bring his girlfriend. I want to leave
her in a war zone, which is a noble thing
to do. However, he talked about how difficult it is
with the visa.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah, the visa. Yeah, it's like ninety day fiance.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, and you're dealing with a war zone and the
whole thing, and you know, it's a big mess. But
it was great to hear him, and I'm so happy
he was able to call in. Hopefully he'll check in
more often. I also didn't get to the idiom of
the week yesterday, which is actually a follow up and
kind of ties into the mailbag. So why don't we
start the mailbag with Ohio out It's remember last week
(07:17):
Sarah in Minnesota. I forget which day it all runs together,
but Sarah and Minnesota a big fan of the show.
She asked about the origin of push it back, meaning
to delay something. Yeah, I couldn't find it. However, the
great power of the bully pulpit here Danny, one of
(07:38):
our other listeners was able to find it. Did a
better job than me. I guess I did a half
assed job. Bad job by me, And he emailed me.
This is Hank in Tokyo, who is a p one,
listens to the Overnight Show and this podcast and clearly
an og of the linguistic ninja powers as he saved today.
(07:59):
He sent me the following correspondence. He says, I cannot
find a meaningful origin story, and I would guess that
there almost certainly is an earlier usage. But given the
speaker qualifies the meaning of the idiom by explicitly clarifying
with the word postpone, there's a lot of verbiage in this.
(08:20):
But he says, now the rest of the story, which
I love. I quote Paul Harvey all the time, and
now for the rest of the story. The origin he
found for the use of push it back meaning to
deny something, he credited with President Ronald Reagan in the
early nineteen eighties. He said the earliest usage of push
(08:41):
it back with the intended meaning of postpone or delay.
I hope you're listening, Sarah. This is from Hank in Tokyo.
He says that he could find was President Ronald Reagan
wall in office during an interview in the Oval Office
on the twentieth of January nineteenth eighty two. Is that
what he got sworn in? Yeah, it probably was right,
(09:06):
because January twentieth is when they swear in the new president. Anyway,
the quote from Reagan was, now these people, these other
economics economists, and as I say, I myself believe that
was we had to compromise. Very possibly we wouldn't have
(09:27):
had this recession, and if we had had, it would
not be as severe as it is. And now to
the money part of the quote. So rather than push
it back or postpone, no, President Reagan said in nineteen
eighty two, the thing that I would yield to, if
it could practically be done, would be to move it forward.
(09:51):
So he used push it back and.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Move it on. I looked it up for you. Reagan
was sworn in on Tuesday, January twentieth, nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Okay, so we had already been the president for a year. Okay,
all right, so very good. Yeah, that makes sense. So
eighty one and then yeah, there was an election in
he got re elected in eighty four. Yeah, and then
that was it. He two terms and that was that.
So that was from nineteen eighty two. So thank you
(10:20):
Hank in Tokyo. And that's that's a long that's over
forty years ago, so that's a good amount of time.
I hope that helped Sarah out. That's all we could find.
I couldn't find anything. Hank found that and we appreciate.
If you want to have any questions for a future
idiom of the Week or looking up word origins, contact me,
(10:41):
you know, send me a message and we'll see if
we can help you out. We'll see if we can
help you out. We had we had on the Friday podcast.
We had Back to the Drawing Board Back on Friday,
which is attributed to a cartoonist from The New Yorker
where that came from. More of the mail bag. These
are actual letters by actual lists to the show, and
(11:03):
the first one up this week is from Masshole Mickey
from the Commonwealth. Although he lives in the Boston area,
he is outside Boston proper mass Whole Mickey writes in
from the Commonwealth. He says, happy foosball Sunday. I hope
you both enjoy the games today and delicious food that
(11:25):
you may or may not be eating. I haven't determined.
It's it's the first Sunday. I feel like I need
to eat something. It's a holiday.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Gotta do it.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Maybe I'll make a pizza or something. I haven't done
that in a while.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Gotta be some melted cheese involved today.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Yeah. Right, you got to have a cheat day on
a football Sunday and enjoy the day. So mass Ole
Mickey says, my question is for Ben, however, could apply
to you as well, Danny G. Ben, how nervous scared
were you to the possibility of Mike the Irish Leprechaun
meeting you in the North and a month ago when
(12:02):
we met And have you ever been nervous or scared
to meet someone that is a fan of your show?
Either you go, Ben or Covino and Rich Danny G.
That's from Masshole Mickey. I don't know what it's scared
is the right word. I don't know. There's only been
(12:23):
one time where I was a little freaked out. That
was with Doc Mike on a dark street in Kansas
City with a screwdriver. That freaked me out a little bit.
Other than that, and most people are nice. I mean,
somebody's gonna take the time to come out to a
meet and greet. They're probably because they like you and
they want to meet you and stuff like that. And
there are some people that have shown up that are
(12:44):
dishevel that. We had a guy the one we did
in Vegas, Mike from Vegas, was drinking. He was drinking
mouth washed out of the bottle as his beverage. That
was a little odd. It's depressing, upsetting, I know, somewhat
heartbreaking that he's so down on his luck that he's
(13:05):
doing that. And there was some people that I don't
think took a shower in the last couple of years
that showed up, which was a little odd. There was
one guy that showed up I was baffled by because
he was walking around he had toilet paper that was
on his shoe that he didn't notice. I was flabbergasted
by that at a meet that was years ago. I
was like, what is this guy doing? What about you, Danny,
(13:26):
You've done a lot of listener events in your radio career.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
I don't think scared of any listener events, but definitely
when I was a teenager in radio, I was scared
of meeting girls that we met on the studio lines.
My name man coworker of mine at the radio station,
his name was Brett Conley. Brett Conley on the air,
and Brett was famous for setting up these listener meetups
(13:54):
with the opposite sex girl who would call our radio
station and Brett would tell me, Hey, Danny, we're going
to go to Danny's. I'm going to get us a table.
You meet me there. That Anna girl, she's she's going
to come meet me. Yeah, dude, I think she's hot.
I could tell from her voice.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Oh that's always risky. Yeah, always a risky proposition there.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
The old joke and broadcasting is if the girl sounds sexy,
she's probably a really big mama. If she sounds like
to me Moore, she's probably actually good looking.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
It's a hit and miss, you know.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Yeah, the voice, the voice could be very deceiving, deceiving.
And this guy, Brett was famous for this and would
pull this move where I told him, I'm like, dude,
the program director is going to find out you're going
to get fired because, first of all, the general manager
and program director would always lecture the staff on not
doing this sort of thing. Brett did not listen and
(14:58):
met as many girls as he could. If he walked
into a Denny's and the girl was already there and
he saw her, or she walked in and he didn't
like the way she looked, he would just walk out.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
It's cold blooded.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Yeah, and then that girl then would you know, hate
his guts.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
He was a selective. A selective. You're not supposed to
be selective.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
It's not like he was some awesome prize.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Yeah, I'm sure he wasn't. Yeah, exactly, all right, Well,
that's that's it. I used to go to Denny's when
I had my board hop at the time, Julio, a
single living in Hollywood, did the weekend overnight show, and
we would cruise into Denny's on a Saturday morning at
like four in the morning, and we would sit in
(15:43):
there and the it was the Denny's down the street
from the studio where they have the hotel wrapped around
the Denny's. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah,
and that at the time. I'm sure they've cleaned it
up now. I'm sure it's not like this anymore. This
was many, many years ago. This was over twenty years ago.
It was a hooker hotel. There were pimps and hose
(16:05):
in the air everywhere. I mean, it was over the time,
and it was like going to I like going down
sometimes too. Here in LA We can go down to
Santa Monica or Venice Beach. Probably Venice Beach is a
better example. It's like a human zoo, and you see
what's going on there. Times Square used to be like that.
Not so much anymore. South Beach in Miami, New Orleans.
(16:26):
I've not been to New Orleans, but my friends have
told me it's very similar to that Vegas Fremont Street
in Vegas. So okay, fine, all right, so we you know,
we go there and it's just unbelievable. The hookers are
coming in there to eat their eggs. Over Miami.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Well, I know that hotel. I got locked out of
my apartment in Burbank one day and I had need
of a hotel that was near our studio, and that's
the hotel I got a room at. What an experience
man and two doses of penicillin later able to return
to normal.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
So tell the best case scenario. What that hotels. It's
only bed bugs, that's the best case scenario.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Bugs.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
It's not.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Bed bugs or the clap your choice.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I mean the ladies there. I do not know how
many customers they had that particular night, but it looked
like they were really hard working women.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And it was the end of the night and they
had their I guess their pimps or whatever they're hanging
out and just looked looked like they had had some
pharmaceuticals going. It was quite the quite the scene. We
saw some fights in there. People fighting with each other,
women fighting with the other women. It was it was
quite the story, all right, Thank you masshole Mickey. Next
up is Todd, my buddy Todd. He says, hey, Ben
(17:43):
and Danny, I have decided to try the fasting diet
in Aimant and fasting. I have been at it for
almost a month. Now, well good for you time, he says.
I first fasted for two days a week, and now
I'm trying three. I experimented in the first couple of
weeks with eating a little a few times a day,
(18:04):
but found that my cravings were stronger that way rather
than not having anything other than liquids. I think I'm
finally getting there and have found that drinking plenty of
water and electrolyte drinks has been crucial help as well.
Any tips, Yeah, so the electrolytes is the key thing.
(18:25):
You also want to be careful on what you drink.
Just water with electrotes, but some electrolytes have calories. There
is this great debate in the cult of interminute fasting
whether or not just having electrolytes that have cawries is
going to end your fasting routine. I've gone back and
forth on that. When I did my five and a
(18:46):
half day fast before the TV show when we had
to go back to Boston and tape some stuff. When
I did that, I did not use anything other than
salt because there's no calories in salt.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
And you look super thin on those opens and close outs.
By the way, Oh well, thank you. You look like
you need a hamburger. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I looked a little anemic. I think I lost too much,
like too much weight.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Yeah, you need some of Looney's steroids. Here's time, Loony.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yeah, let's go down to Tijuan and get some.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Goa good though for the camera, right, because you didn't
want to get that extra ten pounds they always talk
about from the camera.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Lend Oh, yeah, yeah, you know, I made sure. That's
why I didn't eat for like a month. I ate
like once a week for a month, just to try
to make that magic. So Todd, Yeah, I just recommend
a little salt in the water enough enough so you
get it avoid the headaches fast for a while. Usually
by the two day mark you start getting headaches, and
it's a problem.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Probably harder for people coming off of caffeine, right, because
you're not a coffee drinker or a soda drinker. But
somebody that's coming off of that trying to fast, it's
probably a harder transition.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah. I take like a caffeine supplement sometimes, but yeah,
if you're a coffee drinker, it's probably not for you.
Sarah in Minnesota writes, and that she made me smile.
We talked about Sarah earlier because she had asked that
question about the idiom and the origin of it. She said,
I wanted to say some video and photos from the
(20:23):
Peacock debut of Benny Versus the Penny, and sure if
you like, and so she sent a bunch of photos
here she's at her cabin and it's really cool. So
she's in this rustic, old school cabin that looks amazing.
By the way, Sarah, I'm jealous. I don't have a
cabin that's awesome. Probably on a lake right in Minnesota,
(20:45):
one of the ten thousand lakes there, actually there's eleven
thousand whatever. Beautiful fire and show off. Yeah, so pretty
cool as we're in one hundred and fifteen degree heat.
Yeah exactly, Thank you, Sarah. And you have a beautiful
cabin there. I'm jealous. It's awesome. I did enjoy Minnesota
(21:06):
a time, but I didn't go when the mosquitoes were out.
I didn't go when it was freezing. I went when
the weather was perfect, and it was just an amazing,
amazing time at that Malor Meet and Greet Jonathan and Delaware.
Reacting to a call we had this week from Fats
in Philadelphia, he says, Hey, please do a Delaware Valley
meet up. Just give us some advanced notice here. He says,
(21:29):
I've been following you around since I was in high school.
Oh my god, Jonathan, damn, how time flies.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
He enjoys the show. He says, happy football season, which
begins today, and FATS in Philadelphia invited invited us to
come to Philadelphia. Of course, we have to pay our
own way. I'd like to go back to Philly. I
mentioned this on the Overnight Show. But when I was
in Philadelphia the last time, the weather was terrible. It
was rainy and gloomy. The whole time I was there,
(22:00):
food was amazing. I was walking around like a boss
South Philly. I was like, oh man, this is like
Tony Bruno's old stomping grounds and all that. Had a
great time even with the bad weather. But I'd like
to go when the weather's good, which I think I've
already missed the window, Danny. I think I've already missed
the window. Although we are heading into the fall season
and then before you know it's Halloween. Stuff's already up
(22:21):
at Costco. Have you seen that?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Yeah, And the pumpkin spice latte crap is big at
Starbucks and all that. Like all the fall crap is
upon us. But it doesn't make sense for our current
weather because this is the hottest it's been for us
all summer long.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Those are corporate decisions, Danny. Those are corporate it is
it's ridiculously hot. It was a pretty mild July, and
even August was relatively mild.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
But September, yeah, over one hundred degree temperatures coming up
for the next few days, and then a big drop off.
Suddenly it goes to like eighty six degrees and then
to like eighty degrees in a week from now. So
it's weird. We had one hundred we had like phoenix
weather for two weeks.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
It's like we moved to Scottsdale. Next up, Ryan from
Shrewsbury in the Commonwealth says, hello, gentlemen, I am so
happy that season number two Benny versus The Penny's Bed. Well,
thank you, Ryan, I'm happy to now feels like football season.
Speaking of TV, what was your guys favorite show growing up?
(23:26):
And what is your favorite show your go to show today?
I also took a screenshot. Oh yeah, well that there
it is. That's beautiful. Although Ryan, you're not in a
cabin like my friend Sarah, but that thank you for that.
That's awesome. That does that fires me up. The boys
that are sending photos, James the pool guy, send some photos,
(23:47):
mister nice guy in the Bay Area, keep them coming in.
Keep all season, Keep them coming in. Favorite TV show
as a kid depends how old, depends how old Ryan
we look. Kid, it was Saturday Morning cartoons. Loved them.
Saturday Morning Cartoons, all about it. And then as I
got a little older, I used to love game shows.
(24:08):
I loved watching Let's Make a Deal with Monty Hall
because I'm old, I liked that was another one. Uh
pressure luck, big money, big money, no way me stop.
And then they had the Yeah like jet I watched
Prices right with Bob Barker and that that needle dick
(24:28):
microphone that he had. Uh that was you know, there
were some great sitcoms back in the day. They I
thought they were great. So, I mean I was a
little kid, I watched Mash and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
What about you, Danny, Well, let's see, as a little kid,
I loved Tom and Jerry cartoons and Loon Meet tunes
and Woody Woodpecker stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Then Stone's and the Jetsons that was big too.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yeah, those cartoons kind of creeped me out a little bit.
I'm not sure why, I look back. Maybe it was
that little alien that you to fly around with Red Flintstone.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Great Kazoo is that?
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Yeah? The Great Kazoo. I couldn't figure out why there
was an alien with the flintstones.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
The people that wrote those cartoons must have been so
like the Hannah Barbera people.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
And all that. Oh yeah, they were smoking.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Right, I mean the nay with like woody woodpeckers the
name of a character, right, they just like this stuff.
The names of the characters had these double entendres. As
an adult, you look back at it, You're like, whoa
wait a minute, right, yeah, yeah, the pink panther. You know,
you all at It's like it's going on here.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
There's some wacky storylines and characters in those old school cartoons.
That's why some of them are outlawed now they are
far from PC. Yeah. As a teenager, I had a
collection of VHS tapes. I taped the pilot episode on
through the first few seasons of The Fresh Prince of
(25:55):
bel Air. We were so excited when hip hop collided
with television, and of course the famous soap in for
that show, and Will Smith went on to be a
movie star. But you know, now, this is a story
all about how my life got flipped turned upside down,
and I'd like to take a minute just sit right there.
(26:16):
I'll tell you how became the prince of a town
called bell Air.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Solid you remember that off the top of your head.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Heymen, working right next to bell Air as adults.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah, we're down the hill from bell Air. Yes, hell,
that's where all the rich people live. We're down here
with the commoners in the oaks. But keep my wife's
name out of your mouth and all that is he
is he still toxic? Will Smith? Has he still been candling?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I don't know if he's been out of the spotlight
for long enough because he was trying to lay low.
That's the game plan. You try to let enough time
go by so that you know you can have the comeback.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Yeah, Ozzie was from Western Australia, says, my mate's big
and the microphone throttler.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
The microphone throttler.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
So the missus has had a mishap, rolled her ankle
and broke it in two places. Ozzie Wah says he
just had to drive over an hour to the hospital.
That must have been a pleasant drive, he says, that's life.
So my question for you gents, how many bones have
you broken?
Speaker 3 (27:23):
If any? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
The only thing I've broken some fingers and toes. But
I've never never broken like a leg or an arm
or anything like that, or a wrist. My right hand
was getting a workout, damn you. What about you, Danny?
Speaker 3 (27:40):
And the only thing I've ever broke is my nose.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Oh that's a big that's a big one though, you
break it.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Yeah, it was boxing as a kid.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
All right, Well that's not probably the answer you won,
Ozzie was by the way, we were waiting for you.
You have you have an alibi. We'll give you an hour.
But we were gonna have you use one of your
pigs with Poppy. Instead, we're using Lorraina Picks of the
Week with Loraina and Poppy.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
How did Poppy's first pick do?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Well, we don't know. The game is tonight. We want tokay,
we we're gonna we're gonna change this, gonna morphe a round.
So tonight he picked on fold.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
I thought, I thought maybe he picked the Friday game.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
No, no, it was it was a Sunday night game.
I think we're going and it's gonna change it. We'll
each have them picked three games. They can pick whatever
three games they want. One game is not enough. The
problem is Poppy wants to do his own TV show. He's,
as you know, very modest, and he's like, and we
don't want we just want the picks. We don't need
all the repartee, we don't need that. So we're still
(28:39):
messing with that. But we were gonna have Ozzie wazuse
to one of his picks instead we we were going
with Larraina. And I love Lorena and I just want
to point out that quote. I used this on the
air the other night from Bill Parcells, and he had
this line about he saw his wife and his wife
(29:00):
said how great she was, but she didn't really know
football right, and it was something like his wife couldn't
tell if the ball was puffed or stuffed right. And
in many ways, that's that's our friend Loraina, right.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
I love that about her, that she's great at what
she does, but she's not like yeah whatever.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
So we teased her constantly because last season with that
FSR prediction sheet that's in the studio every year for
her NFC champ, she wrote an AFC team in there
and we tried to explain it to her and she's like,
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yeah, yeah, Well we and Super Marcus Steve can back
me up. And so she says she's a cowboy fan, right,
so you're a cowboy fan. So I asked her a
bunch of cowboy questions and it was like, yeah, who's
the coach of the cowboys? You know, who is the
quarterback for the Cowboy I forget exactly what I asked,
but it was all stuff from from back in the day,
(29:57):
back in the and she got none, none of them.
We love her, he's wonderful. And yeah she's on. She's
out for a few more days. She'll be back later
this week.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Be it's like the people who do really good in
March madness. Because when she was board operating the Covino
and Rich Show before she went to you, we would
do picks every Friday, and she would win a lot
of the picks, just because when you don't know about it,
you just go with what your gut tells you at
the moment. She based it on logos and colors and
(30:29):
things like that in the city, and she would get
a lot of the picks, right because she's not sitting
there dissecting stats and overthinking everything.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yeah, yeah, for sure. And that was quite the stray
we traded. If you didn't hear about this. Back in
the day, we traded Iowa Sam and we got the
rights to Loreina.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
We got a cash consideration at least, well, what we.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Got as an added bonus is we got a new
water machine in the Smurf kitchen, so we upgraded the
water machine. That was part of the trade. You didn't
want to throw that in, by the way, Danny, you
were like, we're not gonna Coveno and Rich are not
going to put a water machine in there. You're on
your own. I said no, Iowa Sam's got a little
more experienced than Lorena, and we were taking a shot
(31:12):
with Lorena. And so you have to throw in a prospect,
which is a suspect.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Well, and of course you didn't mention we got your
twenty twenty five first pick. So yeah, they're all suspects
right until they pan out.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
The water is great and the little Loraina giving out
love advice.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
I'm the doctor next level. What could go wrong with that?
She's a single mom who guys run away from exactly Jim,
and she's awesome. By the way, you, as Chris Myers
would say, you kid because you care. So Jim writes
in from Parts So Known, he says, Hey, Ben, what
(31:49):
do you think of Andrew Siciliano, the new broadcaster for
the Cleveland Rest Yeah, with built in satellites.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
How dare you?
Speaker 3 (31:58):
So?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
We talked about this on the Overnight Show. You must
have missed the Jim, But I'm very excited for Andrew.
I've known him for many, many years. He hosted the
Red Zone channel on Direct TV, and he worked at
NFL Network for years and stuff. So he's a guy.
You always feel good for people that you know who
(32:21):
weren't assholes, and that would be him. Very nice, very
kind person. I sent him some text that actually after
we recorded Benny Versus the Penny on Thursday, this episode
this Weekend which still airs today, and a few more
runnings before the football kicks off. As we're doing this
in real time, and I was reached out to Andrew
(32:42):
and he got back to me, and I'm excited for him.
He grew up a Cleveland Browns fan. We used to
bust his balls Danny in the early days of Foxman.
Why the fuck are you a Cleveland Browns fan. He's
from Virginia, that's from like the DC area, the DMV area,
and it's like the family was Cleveland Brown On fans
and stuff, and so he's the freaking It's like it
(33:03):
would be like if you became the radio voice of
the Raiders or something like that.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Yeah, Yeah, I was just gonna I was just gonna
say that that's really cool.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Yeah, So I'm very happy for him. It's it's great.
And as much as I've had a love hate relationship
with the Browns fans, they are a passionate bunch, the
Cleveland brown fan base.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
See, it would be like the equivalent of you becoming
the Rams mascot, that big rambant guy, Ramon all me
and Ramming all knight.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
That's not the name of the mascot.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
It's not that he thought he was Rammitt.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I don't. I don't think that's the name I thought
taking that up. That's the song is Rammitt all Day,
ram It all night? Yeah? All right, Mike and the
OCI will do a few more Mike and the ocum.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Why is Rammitt walking? Funny?
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Rammitt needs some ice on his growing Mike in the
oc or, he says, OC's fourth oldest c Fullerton. He says,
Hey Ben and Danny g. Ben. After the constant barrage
of WNBA and tennis propaganda.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
On your show lately.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
I have to ask if you were forced to watch
either the WNBA finals or the US Open finals, which
one would you watch. Basically, I'm asking you to choose
between Eddie Garcia and Brian Finley. I'd like your answer
as well, Danny G. Also, do you guys consider peanut
butter a liquid or a solid? TSA says it's a liquid.
(34:27):
H that's interesting. Is that true? They think that peanut butter,
a chunky peanut butter, is a liquid. That's not. It's oil.
It's oil and peanut, right.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Yeah. I was gonna say, well, what happens if it's
in the sun. That's true, it melts and yeah. So
the answer to your question, it's a great question, Mike.
It's one of those Sophie's Choice questions.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
There's no good answer WNBA finals or US Open finals.
So I tried to figure out the US Open tennis.
How long does a tennis match last?
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Dude? I got the answer too long?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Okay, So I'll go WNBA. Then I'm gonna go w
because whatever is quicker and gets me out of there,
I'm in. I don't want to spend too much time
and I have been to New York during the US
Open when I was doing stuff for the Dodgers. They
used to play the Mets every August and the US
Open would be going on, and it was actually at
the hotel we stayed at. We stayed at the Grand
Hyatt in New York, and they they would have all
(35:31):
these tennis players who would be staying there. So we'd
see them in the lobby. We're going out to get
wait for the bus, and they'd be all with their
their rackets, their managers and all that stuff. So I
didn't know who any of them were, but they were
they were staying there.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
I know that the Williams sisters kind of changed the
narrative a little bit, But as kids, we always kind
of looked at tennis as sort of an elitist sport.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Oh yeah, tennis and golf one percent. Now, I'm right
there right there with you and I. As a kid,
you were around the same age. We had like these
fames like Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe, these legends of
tennis that would would go at it.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
But if McEnroe like went on a tirade and broke
a couple of rackets, you could see that on the
sports machine, the George Michael Sports Machine. Yeah, or maybe
did see highlights. He didn't have to watch the whole
damn tennis match.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Well in LA he could have been one of Rogan's
heroes if he had done that. Possibly we had Mac
and Roll on the show. I don't need to get
into that story. Al from the air show, says Ben
as someone who also grew up twenty minutes from two
different air bases. I was wondering what happened to the
two that were decommissioned by the original Malor mansion. Have
they been repurposed? Yes, you look it up. There's a
(36:47):
thing called the Great Park which is in Irvine, the
OC Gray Park, I think it's called, and it's a
they made. It's not even all the military, but some
of the military bases housing. They built houses, and then
the other part of it is this giant park where
they have an outdoor auditorium and a bunch of cool
(37:09):
stuff soccer fields, baseball.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
Did they leave any warheads for the kids to play with?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Well, if you did, you can find some moreheads. The
other one is more interesting. There was a Tustin Marine Airbase.
They had these giant wooden hangers. We talked about it
alf and oh that's right, and they were they couldn't
tear them down. They were from World War Two. They
built these giant blimps and they would they would fix
(37:35):
planes in there because they didn't want someone to see
from you know, spy planes or whatever it is seeing.
They were so paranoid. So they had these giant wooden
hangars and one of them burned down a few months back,
and it was very sad.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
That was all over the news, especially here in southern California.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Also because if you happen to be downwind, you got
a cloud of poison that came to your city.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Some ambulance chaser TV commercials pretty soon.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
Yes, were you down win when the hangar at the
Tustin Airbase back in the day burnt down you So
that was a mess. But they built housing there and
they built some shopping and whatnot, which is really crazy.
And I go back to that area every once in
a while, and as a child, I remember going having
the chance to have the open house and walk through
(38:20):
tanks and fighter jets and see all the crap. And
now it's like a Costco or a Walmart or whatever,
like what the heck's going on there?
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Man?
Speaker 1 (38:29):
What's up with that? Gary from Pittsburgh resident says Ben,
I've listened to the Mailbag podcast recently. You mentioned you
didn't like salads unless they're Canadian salads. I thought, what
is a Canadian salad? So I used your sage advice
and I just googled it. The recipes I saw were repulsive,
with barley and chickapeas and cranberries, so I thought maybe
(38:53):
that was a p one inside reference. So then I
went to Google's Evil Twin Urban Dictionary and I typed
that in and OMG, if that's what you like, your
mama Mahler finds out, it will be benny versus the halfpenny,
he says. Please tell me what I'm missing, He says,
(39:13):
regarding my last post about steak cooking, I expected a
how dare you? But not a double I consider it
a badge of honor. Well you should, Gary, Yeah, so
I guess I have to spell it out for Gary.
The Canadian salad is a witty way of saying the poutine,
(39:34):
which is from Quebec oh Corda. The fries top with
cheddar cheese curds doused in beef gravy and did you know, Gary,
I looked this up for you. This is only for you.
It's a fun fact about Quebec. The word poutine comes
from the Quebecian slang for mess. They say it's a
(39:57):
combination of the word mess and the word for pudding.
And the legend is that boutine is not that old.
It is not that old. Supposedly it started out at
a in the nineteen fifties, nineteen fifty seven. I think
it's a long time ago, but in the big picture,
is not that long. The dish first appeared in nineteen
(40:18):
fifty seven in a Quebec dairy town of Warwick in Quebec,
and a customer asked the restauranteur, this French dude, hey,
can you put some cheese, curds and fries together in
a brown paper bag? Because the guy was in a hurry,
and the chef, the French chef said oh yeah, they'll
(40:40):
do whatever he did, and then on his way out
he supposedly said in French the equivalent of that, that'll
make a damn mess. And that combination grew, and you know,
there you go, and they started adding gravy to it.
In the nineteen sixties. So that's way too much information
(41:01):
about Poutinea.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
You made me hungry for some game day eats right now.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
Yeah, Well, it is an NFL Sunday Week number one
continues today and then tomorrow. That's it for us, Danny,
anything you want to promote. I got Benny Versus the
Penny till about one o'clock today Random Cable Television, also

show starting next Friday, and I'll be back on the
radio breaking down all the NFL games tonight. The Magic

Speaker 3 (41:31):
Yeah, Tomorrow, Monday, we will react to all of the
NFL action on Covino and Rich from two to four
pm on the West side, and that's five to seven
