Speaker 1: Kubbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the a eywaeyre. The Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler
Speaker 1: and Danny g Radio. I would be Ben hi, and
Speaker 1: we thank you, I thank you, We both thank you
Speaker 1: for following this podcast and for doing the most important
Speaker 1: thing because I have heard from me boy and I
Speaker 1: follow your podcast, but they don't actually listen to the podcast.
Speaker 1: So the whole key of this is to actually listen
Speaker 1: what you're doing right now, and so thank you, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you. As we get a new on what is
Speaker 1: what the twenty fourth day of the month of February,
Speaker 1: the last Saturday, last weekend in the month of February.
Speaker 1: As we are just getting started, I know Danny is
Speaker 1: having a big party. It's International sword Swallower's Day, which
Speaker 1: is always a big day for Danny, because before you
Speaker 1: got into radio, Danny, you were a professional sword swallower
Speaker 1: on the boardwalk, right and the mezzanine.
Speaker 3: I was also a tiger trainer.
Speaker 1: Hey are you cool at cats and kittens? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Danny had a wild life before he decided to get
Speaker 1: into radio and hang out with Covino and Rich. So
Speaker 1: on this the Saturday Pod, get right into it. We've
Speaker 1: got the Crowning Achievement, the s Word, the Wrecking Bull,
Speaker 1: and idiom of the week. Who knows, maybe pop culture
Speaker 1: pop goes to the culture as well. There's a lot
Speaker 1: to get to and we'll see how much we have
Speaker 1: time for. I don't get right to it right now,
Speaker 1: So let's start with this. If you were listening to
Speaker 1: the Overnight Show this week, then you know that we
Speaker 1: had to say goodbye to her friend. We lost one
Speaker 1: of our more recognizable callers to the radio show. And
Speaker 1: it's always depressing, always depressing. Been doing this a long time,
Speaker 1: and unfortunately we have lost a number of people to
Speaker 1: you know, just living their life and dying, some people
Speaker 1: dying prematurely and whatnot. But if you did not hear
Speaker 1: this week and you're not on social media, the caller
Speaker 1: that went by the moniker. Rachel from Montabello passed away.
Speaker 1: She passed away last week, I believe. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: exactly when she passed away. I could look it up,
Speaker 1: but her nephew reached out to me and Rachel one
Speaker 1: of the nicest people. I've never actually met Rachel in
Speaker 1: real life, but I feel like I know Rachel from
Speaker 1: her calls to the radio show. She knew when my
Speaker 1: birthday was, you'd always call my birthday, She'd sing me happy.
Speaker 3: We knew she knew a lot about you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, she was like a big super fan
Speaker 1: of mine, and I was honored that she enjoyed joyed
Speaker 1: the show so much. And you know, some people were
Speaker 1: annoyed by Rachel and ocause they got jealous of the
Speaker 1: attention that she got. That was my theory on it,
Speaker 1: because we.
Speaker 4: Always played the smacking kiss the lips sound effect. Remember yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: But she was in your booty.
Speaker 1: She loved the fact that I'm convinced that she knew
Speaker 1: certain things she said would be turned into the opens
Speaker 1: of the show, because she would say she was an
Speaker 1: older woman and she would say some of the craziest
Speaker 1: things in the world. But I knew in my head.
Speaker 1: I was like, well, she must know that's going to
Speaker 1: be used by the imaging people to make an open
Speaker 1: and sure enough it did. And so she passed away.
Speaker 1: Her nephew reached out to me and let me know,
Speaker 1: and so we did a little tribute. We can no
Speaker 1: longer do the six line salute, which is the highest
Speaker 1: don and radio, because for some reason, our new studios,
Speaker 1: which are amazing, the technology, which you would think would
Speaker 1: be better than what we had before, will not allow
Speaker 1: us to put all the callers on the air at
Speaker 1: the same time. You're limited to like two or three.
Speaker 1: You can put them all in the air, but you can't.
Speaker 1: There's like a buzz, it doesn't work. So that was disappointing.
Speaker 1: So we did something a little different. We did a
Speaker 1: tribute and I posted some stuff on my x page
Speaker 1: and I was reminded and this is a good reminder,
Speaker 1: because you know, Danny, sometimes you do these shows and
Speaker 1: you don't really know who's listing. You don't know how
Speaker 1: big a reach you have. You think, well, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm on doing the overnight show. I'm on in the
Speaker 1: middle of the night. Who the hell cares? So we
Speaker 1: did this tribute to Rachel and was overwhelmed with people
Speaker 1: who wanted to send their wishes to Rachel and Montabello's family.
Speaker 1: For those that are not in Southern California familiar with it,
Speaker 1: Montabello is a city in the La area, and she
Speaker 1: Rachel clearly loved being from Montebello and she would that
Speaker 1: was her Monica. She was known on the air. But
Speaker 1: this whole experience, and it was very sad, you know,
Speaker 1: because she lived a full life. But you know, she
Speaker 1: was a lovely woman and she's a harmless woman. She
Speaker 1: seemed like a very nice soul. We could have lived longer.
Speaker 1: But I was reminded yet again that people need radio.
Speaker 1: I feel like, during the day is great, but you
Speaker 1: got a lot of stuff going on, but at night,
Speaker 1: a lot of people are lonely, they're depressed. And as
Speaker 1: I mentioned on the Overnight show this week, like Rachel
Speaker 1: was not in our target demographic at all. Right, you know,
Speaker 1: you know sports radio the target demographic is obviously dudes.
Speaker 1: It's mostly young dudes or middle aged dudes. That's pretty
Speaker 1: much who the audience is for sports radio. So she
Speaker 1: was not that, and she was an older woman, but
Speaker 1: she was part of our group and part of our family,
Speaker 1: and she like the biggest sports fan in the world.
Speaker 1: But I don't know how she found the show. Maybe
Speaker 1: one of her relatives can let me know, or her nephew.
Speaker 1: I should send him a message. But it was sad
Speaker 1: and hopefully if there is something after we get done here,
Speaker 1: she's having a grand old time and all that, but
Speaker 1: just one time. And she called for years. I think
Speaker 1: it's probably been over ten years. I don't know exactly
Speaker 1: how long, maybe longer than that, but she's she called
Speaker 1: for a long time, and she hadn't called that much recently.
Speaker 1: She had been in some poor health. We didn't know
Speaker 1: exactly what was wrong. She didn't let us know, but
Speaker 1: she I remember she had said something about her voice
Speaker 1: that she didn't want to be remembered sounding. However, her
Speaker 1: voice sounded, which is similar to Genie and Medford. I
Speaker 1: had talked to Genie off the air several times when
Speaker 1: she was sick, and she had really her voice was
Speaker 1: like completely gone, and I got it all over me.
Speaker 1: But she never had a good voice to begin with.
Speaker 1: Well we knew her, Jeanie. That was the magic of Genie.
Speaker 1: But but anyway, rest in peace to our friend Rachel
Speaker 1: in Montabella.
Speaker 4: It's funny you bring up Jeanie because there was a
Speaker 4: night I remember where Rachel got on the air first
Speaker 4: and then Jeanie called the next hour, and in her
Speaker 4: call she referenced Rachel and said to stop kissing your butt.
Speaker 3: And she would tell her that Rachel flirting with you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was, and the guys would get annoyed.
Speaker 1: And then But but funny thing, and I do think
Speaker 1: this is kind of a crowning achievement for Rachel and Montabella.
Speaker 1: And you know, who knows, whether she knows or not,
Speaker 1: But there were so many people it's hilarious the email
Speaker 1: I got Danny. I got guys that are working construction
Speaker 1: truck drivers and they were like, oh, I miss I'm
Speaker 1: gonna miss Rachel. She was a nice woman. I liked
Speaker 1: her singing, you know, she was she was unique in
Speaker 1: what she did and so you know, it's it's sad,
Speaker 1: but it happens to all of us, and uh, well,
Speaker 1: we'll miss her contributions to the show. But the good
Speaker 1: news is she still honored Danny. In much of the
Speaker 1: imaging for the radio show. You will hear Rachel in
Speaker 1: Montabella's voice on the open so yeah, we don't get
Speaker 1: many opens on the overnight, so that'll probably be there
Speaker 1: for years.
Speaker 4: So I was gonna say, I feel like that's going
Speaker 4: to live on for eternity.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'll be. It'll be like, you know, we still
Speaker 1: talk about George Washington or Babe Ruth, that we will
Speaker 1: still be playing sound of Rachel and Matabello. And we
Speaker 1: have many other sound bites that have not been used yet,
Speaker 1: many other sound bites that have not been used that
Speaker 1: we can.
Speaker 4: Make sure you stop, Coop because right as he just
Speaker 4: wrote a brand new batch of opens for Veto to produce,
Speaker 4: make sure he doesn't send those off.
Speaker 1: No, I will try, I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 1: It's great, great point, you know, I know, Coop, he's
Speaker 1: always working on those opens. We do not want that.
Speaker 1: We want to keep these for a while. We want
Speaker 1: to keep these classic open, the vintage opens to the
Speaker 1: to the radio show. There's one that they just made
Speaker 1: and it's like phone sex open and that's got Rachel.
Speaker 1: That's really, you know, sums up the show. It's like
Speaker 1: phone sex. I don't think the S word is in
Speaker 1: there though, Danny, I do not believe the S word
Speaker 1: is mentioned at any point. In that particular open, but
Speaker 1: maybe it should be. Maybe it should be in there.
Speaker 4: It should We've talked about this on the podcast before
Speaker 4: that both you and I think the S word should
Speaker 4: be allowed interrestoral radio, all radio, for that matter. There's
Speaker 4: one little guy who is learning and maybe I gotta
Speaker 4: watch what I'm saying as I record the podcast around
Speaker 4: him early in the mornings on Friday through Sunday. So
Speaker 4: quickly here, I'm gonna send you a four second video.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 4: We'll be interactive, immersive like the US and pop up
Speaker 4: museum you went to. Yeah, so I'm sending you a
Speaker 4: four second video of baby Koa. You need to have
Speaker 4: your volume turned up for this. All right, first words,
Speaker 4: I don't think my better half was very impressed with
Speaker 4: what his first words are.
Speaker 1: He's big. I've not seen the photo of him. This
Speaker 1: will play here, let me see.
Speaker 3: Ah.
Speaker 4: He's so, he's been upstairs, downstairs, go down the stairs.
Speaker 3: And all he keeps saying over and over is a wow.
Speaker 1: Wow, wow, Wow, that's great. That's great. Beg, he's getting big.
Speaker 4: Wow, he's a fricking linebacker. He's in the ninetieth percent
Speaker 4: tile of every category.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's cool. That's good to see you a little.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's only six months old, and look how big
Speaker 4: he is.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow, that's wild man.
Speaker 3: He's wearing eighteen month old clothes right now.
Speaker 1: He's got he's got the belly's like. Hey, I'm here, man,
Speaker 1: I'm here, I'm here for it. Man, come on, clab
Speaker 1: a beard, Danny, come on, come on.
Speaker 4: His video I sent Ben. He was in the middle
Speaker 4: of getting changed my wife. He was putting a new
Speaker 4: outfit on him.
Speaker 1: It kind of looks like you a little bit.
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you, just a little bit of it.
Speaker 1: I don't think the mailman was involved.
Speaker 4: I think yeah, poor kid does resemble me. We're downstairs
Speaker 4: in the living room and the mother in law is over.
Speaker 4: You know, she's laughing. She's having a good time. Why
Speaker 4: him giggle and.
Speaker 3: Say dad, Dad Dad.
Speaker 4: He's in his little skip Pop bouncer that we've talked
Speaker 4: about on the podcast. He's bouncing up and down, and
Speaker 4: he's quiet for a few seconds because he's playing with
Speaker 4: one of his teething toys, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 4: very loudly, he says shit, and everybody stops what they're doing,
Speaker 4: turns and looks at each other and we're like, did
Speaker 4: you just hear what I heard?
Speaker 3: I haven't heard it since, which is good news.
Speaker 1: No, you know, it's in his head that. That reminds
Speaker 1: me my nephew says the word fuck randomly in the
Speaker 1: cute it is. There are a few things more enjoyable
Speaker 1: than a baby saying a bad word. It's like, it's hilarious.
Speaker 1: How do you not laugh right in a little baby voice?
Speaker 1: It's just wonderful.
Speaker 3: It's common.
Speaker 4: It reminds me of when my little sister Ariel was
Speaker 4: first crawling. She would crawl around and say all the
Speaker 4: little words she knew how to say, and she had
Speaker 4: problems saying words that started with a letter T. Anything
Speaker 4: she said with tea sounded like an F. Me and
Speaker 4: my older brother would always ask her to say truck,
Speaker 4: so she would be crawling around saying fuck, fuck, and my.
Speaker 3: Mom would threaten us.
Speaker 4: She'd be like, if you ask her to say truck
Speaker 4: one more time, I'm gonna wring your neck.
Speaker 3: Yeah great, but so yeah, I have to I.
Speaker 4: Know we say that word from time to time on
Speaker 4: this podcast. So little ears are listening, I'm gonna have
Speaker 4: to be careful.
Speaker 1: Oh that's great. Well, he's a kid's growing up quickly.
Speaker 3: That's awesome, that's great, doing well, Yeah, a little shit.
Speaker 1: So I had a voice in my head this week.
Speaker 1: It was my my dear, dearly departed mother, do not
Speaker 1: play fetch in the house. Do not play fetch in
Speaker 1: the house. So still adjusting to having our dogs, Moxie
Speaker 1: and Luigi.
Speaker 3: Moxie and Luigi and looking puppies.
Speaker 1: There's a few things more enjoyable than watching a bulldog,
Speaker 1: which is built like a rhino, run to try to catch,
Speaker 1: you know, to fetch whatever you throw, and so love it,
Speaker 1: absolutely love it. And so I know I don't have
Speaker 1: a lot of time. Maybe, oh it takes five ten
Speaker 1: minutes to play some fetch. So the the other day
Speaker 1: this week I'm playing fetch and Moxie is competing with Luigi. Now,
Speaker 1: the problem for my my dog Moxie is she is
Speaker 1: as slow as could possibly be because it's a bulldog,
Speaker 1: and Luigi is a young pupp flies around like, jumps
Speaker 1: like Jordan, just insane, and I jumps like So I'll
Speaker 1: play fetch with him. I'll throw this this a little
Speaker 1: like plastic grenade thing that they love. And so we're
Speaker 1: throwing that and I I threw it a little too far.
Speaker 1: I had the Bozuka the cannon, so I threw it
Speaker 1: a little too far. And Luigi and Moxie are running.
Speaker 1: But for some reason, this time, Moxie got to where
Speaker 1: the plastic grenade was first. Unfortunately I had thrown it
Speaker 1: so far. You've been to my house down you know
Speaker 1: the front there there's a there's kind of like a
Speaker 1: living room in the front, and there's a little table
Speaker 1: and I had this vintage radio and this old like
Speaker 1: microphone thing kind of you know, on display on this table.
Speaker 1: And Moxie said, you know what, I'm a wrecking bull,
Speaker 1: not a wrecking ball. I'm a wrecking bull. I'm a
Speaker 1: wrecking bulldog. And was because the little plaster grenade had
Speaker 1: kind of fallen under the table and kaboom, she went
Speaker 1: right into the table.
Speaker 2: Bam.
Speaker 1: It didn't care needed to get it, knocked everything on
Speaker 1: the table knocked over. I'm like, oh crap, and boom
Speaker 1: goes to dynamite.
Speaker 3: Like the grenade exploded.
Speaker 1: Pretty much pretty much, you know. So now we're like,
Speaker 1: I'll play I'll play fetch outside, or we'll go to
Speaker 1: the dog park, which they have in the neighborhood here.
Speaker 1: We did go to the dog park, which is a
Speaker 1: lot of fun. Like big fan of the dog park,
Speaker 1: got to do it more often there. I also had
Speaker 1: kind of a weird one of those weird moments this week, Daddy,
Speaker 1: where I was coming back from the gym. As I've
Speaker 1: gotten back into my routine with my friend Jim, and
Speaker 1: I've changed my schedule a little bit, so I'm actually
Speaker 1: going later in the day, early afternoon, going to bed earlier,
Speaker 1: trying to change that around. So I go to the gym,
Speaker 1: I've come coming back to the gym. Coming back from
Speaker 1: the gym, grab some water. I'm in the kitchen, go
Speaker 1: up to the to the studio to start getting ready
Speaker 1: and look at some notes for the show, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I reached my pocket to grab my phone. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I can't find my phone. It's not there, all right,
Speaker 1: I'll go to the kitchen. I probably left in the kitchen.
Speaker 1: So I go downstairs. I go to the kitchen and
Speaker 1: I look around. I look at every place I possibly
Speaker 1: could have been, and there's nothing. Just no phone. So
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, I probably probably in the car. I
Speaker 1: probably left in the car. So I went out to
Speaker 1: the car, and then I looked around behind you know,
Speaker 1: the seat there. Maybe it fell out of my pocket,
Speaker 1: looked on the floor outside the car, couldn't find So
Speaker 1: now I'm starting to freak out. Things are getting rashitted
Speaker 1: up a little bit, like, oh, man, I can't lose
Speaker 1: my phone. Man, I was like losing my left hand.
Speaker 1: I need my left hand. I don't leave as much
Speaker 1: in my right hand, but I need my left hand.
Speaker 1: So I'm handed. So I'm looking around. I go back
Speaker 1: into the house again. So I go back. I retrace
Speaker 1: my steps. I go everywhere where i'd been. I hadn't
Speaker 1: been that many places. I'm looking around and then I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I let the dogs out to get busy,
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom. So I go outside. I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: maybe I dropped it. So I'm walking about around the backyard,
Speaker 1: don't see it. So then I'm like, I went on
Speaker 1: the internet. You can send texts on the internet. So
Speaker 1: I send a text on the internet to the wife.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I think I lost my phone. Can you
Speaker 1: look on the find iPhone thing to find the phone?
Speaker 1: And she's like, well, it says it's still still a thousand.
Speaker 1: I was, well, there's not at a house. I'm like no.
Speaker 1: So then I'm like, okay, I'm gonna drive to the
Speaker 1: gym and check, because maybe I dropped it at the
Speaker 1: parking lot. I remember where I parked me. I dropped
Speaker 1: it getting in the car. I remember I had it
Speaker 1: leaving the gym, so it was in. I remember looking
Speaker 1: at it as I was getting in the car. So
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, and we go back. And
Speaker 1: then but she swore, I was like, oh no, your
Speaker 1: phone's at the house, so you don't need to do that.
Speaker 1: So like, so I'm going around and this freaking phone,
Speaker 1: Danny was camouflaged on the top. My wife. I don't
Speaker 1: drink coffee, you know. My wife has there's a coffee machine,
Speaker 1: and she doesn't even use that kind of cop She
Speaker 1: likes cold ice brew. But we have a coffee machine
Speaker 1: for when people come over the house and want coffee.
Speaker 1: Obviously I absolutely have it. And this thing is black.
Speaker 1: My iPhone case is black, and it was so camouflaged.
Speaker 1: It took me probably thirty minutes walking right by it
Speaker 1: before I realized where it was. And then I and
Speaker 1: what had happened was on my I have a watch
Speaker 1: that you can you know, you press a button on
Speaker 1: the watch, it sends a beep to the phone to
Speaker 1: find your phone. And if I hadn't had that, I
Speaker 1: would still be I would have probably gone out and
Speaker 1: bought a new phone. That's how messed up this was.
Speaker 1: So is that any product of me getting old? Or
Speaker 1: is that just good camouflage.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure it's good camouflage.
Speaker 4: I saw a meme the other day that said I've
Speaker 4: been looking for my iPad for thirteen days and the
Speaker 4: person had one of those rubber cases with the ridges
Speaker 4: on their iPad. Yeah, their Audi car had leather seats,
Speaker 4: and so the passenger seat, it was just sitting on
Speaker 4: the seat and it looked like part of.
Speaker 3: The ridges of the seat.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's at least you weren't looking for your
Speaker 4: cell phone while holding your cell phone using the light
Speaker 4: on your cell phone.
Speaker 1: I haven't gone full dementia yet. I haven't gone that
Speaker 1: far yet, but yeah, get all you lose your I've
Speaker 1: lost my wallet several times. I've been lucky. I've lost
Speaker 1: it in parking lots at grocery stores. We've talked about
Speaker 1: that in previous episodes of the podcast, and I've I've
Speaker 1: found it. You know keys, I've dropped keys.
Speaker 3: And you know this.
Speaker 1: I guess that just happens in life, right. We just
Speaker 1: got a bunch of stuff and all that time Now
Speaker 1: for the idiom of the week.
Speaker 3: Idiom of the week, the idiom.
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure this qualifies as anydium of the week,
Speaker 1: but I think so. The term red flag red flag.
Speaker 1: Like the other night, Lebron James did not play for
Speaker 1: the Lakers the first game after the extended All Star break,
Speaker 1: because there's a red flag there. There's something going on
Speaker 1: with Lebron. So the term red flag, which he has
Speaker 1: used a lot, as a warning sign and all that,
Speaker 1: it's a sign of an issue that needs attention. Danger
Speaker 1: danger danger right danger danger, danger, present danger, warning whatever.
Speaker 1: The expression raise a red flag goes back hundreds of years.
Speaker 1: It originates through different uses, obviously of red flags, most
Speaker 1: of them from the military. The armed forces many many
Speaker 1: years ago would fly red flags as a warning to
Speaker 1: the public that they were doing live exercises with live
Speaker 1: bullets or muskets or whatever. And also you've had over
Speaker 1: the year ships that carry munitions fly a red flag.
Speaker 1: A lot of places in the world people will fly
Speaker 1: red flags and that is a sign that there is
Speaker 1: an outdoor shooting range in use. But wait, there's more.
Speaker 1: If you go to the beach and you know that
Speaker 1: lifeguard tower they have the little flag, Well, if they
Speaker 1: have the red flag, that means you should stay out
Speaker 1: of the water, right, red flag hazardous conditions and whatnot,
Speaker 1: and waves stay away and all that stuff. Also, if
Speaker 1: you're a fan of racing automobile racing, red flag, that
Speaker 1: means the race has ended. You run to the red flag.
Speaker 1: But going back to the sixteen hundreds, armies used a
Speaker 1: red flag sixteen hundreds to signal that they were ready
Speaker 1: to go to battle. How nice, how polite were armies
Speaker 1: back in the sixteen hundreds. We'd luck to tourn ounce.
Speaker 1: We're now going to bottle to do that much these days,
Speaker 1: all right, the niceties of battle have gone away in
Speaker 1: that regard. In the seventeen hundreds, the term red flag
Speaker 1: was used as a meaning of a warning. So that's
Speaker 1: when the warning thing started.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and now it's evolved all the way to a
Speaker 4: coach throwing a red challenge flag.
Speaker 1: No, yeah, that's right. You got to pull it out
Speaker 1: of your sock. The red flag or a red flag
Speaker 1: to a bull right red flag to a bull olay
Speaker 1: olayo layolay the Almatador, the good old El Matador, or
Speaker 1: just being angry bad feelings about some of red flag
Speaker 1: red flag. Uh. Anyway, that is the idiom of the week.
Speaker 1: If you would like to recommend an idiom of the week,
Speaker 1: if you're curious, you can send me a message on
Speaker 1: the email We have the email bag on Sunday. It's real.
Speaker 1: You don't have to wait for that real fifth hour
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com, Real fifth hour at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1: But red flag just means a fore warning time now
Speaker 1: for popperty pop go the.
Speaker 3: Culture judge.
Speaker 1: Judge, thank you, ohio au. Well, here's a fun story
Speaker 1: from pop culture. Danny Jim attendance has gone down and
Speaker 1: the theory on why that is in the month of January.
Speaker 1: They look back to the month of January Jim attendance,
Speaker 1: which normally spikes in January because people get fat on
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and Christmas and then try to lose the weight
Speaker 1: in January. In February, well, Jim attendants fell flat. They
Speaker 1: believe that ozempic is the reason why. Ozempic, a weight
Speaker 1: loss drug, is being blamed for causing apparently It has
Speaker 1: been causing people to vomit during workouts, so they just
Speaker 1: stop working out, or they just figure they don't need
Speaker 1: to work out because they can just take that and
Speaker 1: you're good to go.
Speaker 4: Lord, doctors are getting rich off of prescribing this crap.
Speaker 4: And it's the drug is for people, supposed to be
Speaker 4: for people adop beat us. Instead it's people trying a
Speaker 4: lot of people trying to just lose weight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not not not the cool, not the cool. And

Speaker 1: of things. What else in pop goes to the culture?
Speaker 1: If you like different things in the body? Which of
Speaker 1: these stories toss up question for Danny g Which of
Speaker 1: these stories is more crazy? A zoo has removed seventy
Speaker 1: coins from a rare alligator rare alligator's stomach, who swallowed
Speaker 1: them after visitors to the zoo tossed them into the
Speaker 1: mouth of the alligator. Story number one, Story number two.
Speaker 1: A man see if you can guess which state this
Speaker 1: man is from, had one hundred and fifty live bugs
Speaker 1: removed from his nose and he did not even know
Speaker 1: they were there. Florida, Yeah, Florida man, Florida man. I
Speaker 1: wonder if that was a guy used to host this
Speaker 1: podcast with me. He lives in Florida. He's a Florida man. Now,
Speaker 1: who that might have been west of the four h
Speaker 1: five guess god? But yeah, this guy one hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty live bugs removed from his nose, didn't even realize
Speaker 1: they were there, and you had the allegator. So it's
Speaker 1: got to be the guy with the bugs, right, doesn't
Speaker 1: it have to be the guy with the bugs? How
Speaker 1: do you not realize there's one hundred and fifty live bugs?
Speaker 1: What kind of vermin are you living in where you
Speaker 1: do not realize that there are that many bugs in
Speaker 1: your nose?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's as gross as the bedbug story coming out
Speaker 4: of Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, my wife was freaking out because we go
Speaker 1: to Vegas so often. You stayed? Did you stay at
Speaker 1: one of the hotails that happened?
Speaker 3: Oh? No, we stayed at the Mandalay Bay, thank god.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you don't know what we're talking about, there's
Speaker 4: a small list of hotels and resorts in Vegas that
Speaker 4: have had an outbreak.
Speaker 3: Of bed bugs. It just makes your skin crawl.
Speaker 1: Now, are you able to sue for the bed bug?
Speaker 1: How does that work in Vegas? There's billboards like every
Speaker 1: other city for laws, but in Vegas they have a
Speaker 1: casino billboards. You injured in a casino? You know, well, technically,
Speaker 1: if you had bed bugs attack you, you were injured
Speaker 1: in a casino. So you could hire one of those
Speaker 1: ambulance chasing lawyers if you wanted to go down that.
Speaker 4: Road, putting bed bug attorney into the Google machine.
Speaker 1: Bed bugs, bed bugs, bed bugs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Riley and Earth's off a bed bug attorney near you.
Speaker 1: All right, there you go. Now, when you go to
Speaker 1: a hotel room, Danny, do you do an inspection to
Speaker 1: try to see if there are a bed bugs? Do
Speaker 1: you look under the mattress and you're supposed to look
Speaker 1: behind the mattress and.
Speaker 3: Near Oh no.
Speaker 4: What we do is we read every review possible before spending.
Speaker 3: Our hard earned money on the room or the resort.
Speaker 4: That includes yelp with some real people reviews where you
Speaker 4: can see pictures of things that are negative instead of
Speaker 4: all the phony reviews where everything is perfect and my
Speaker 4: wife is kind of a hotel snob, which I'm okay with.
Speaker 4: I don't like staying at cheap places I stayed when
Speaker 4: I was a kid, So I would say that we
Speaker 4: save our money in order not to stay at places
Speaker 4: that have bed bugs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my wife likes to stay We've talked about this.
Speaker 1: My wife also likes nice hotels. I'm more of the
Speaker 1: frugal traveler.
Speaker 3: I you and bed bugs are homies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm more like, all right, listen, well we get
Speaker 1: a cheaper hotel room, I'll just inspect it. I'll even
Speaker 1: get one of those lights, you know, those lights where
Speaker 1: you can check for blood stains. And but you know,
Speaker 1: we'll save money and then i'll check you there's too
Speaker 1: many stains. We just won't you know, we'll avoid the
Speaker 1: stains and we won't stay there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm share you've stayed places where you find blood
Speaker 4: on the carpet, you know, like eh was probably ten
Speaker 4: years ago.
Speaker 1: I have stayed at some interesting, interesting locations. Well, this
Speaker 1: is a follow up to a story we talked about
Speaker 1: in a previous episode of this podcast. Red Lobster has
Speaker 1: said bye bye to the all you can eat they have.
Speaker 1: They lost so much money on their Lobster deal, they
Speaker 1: said we're done. They announced they had this ultimate endless shrimp.
Speaker 3: Cooper loop signal handedly shut it down.
Speaker 1: Hey, yeah, they say this is amazing. Red Lobster lost
Speaker 1: eleven million dollars in the third quarter, an operating loss
Speaker 1: because of the endless shrimp promotion. Now what shrimp were
Speaker 1: people eating? Well, eleven million dollars worth. The deal was
Speaker 1: offered for if you missed it, twenty dollars. It's all
Speaker 1: you can eat shrimp at Red Lobster. They increased it
Speaker 1: to twenty three dollars the twenty five dollars, but it
Speaker 1: didn't matter. People still went in there with their bibs on,
Speaker 1: and they loosened their belt, they put on their moo moo,
Speaker 1: and they went for it. And that is so funny.
Speaker 1: That is wonderful. That seemed like a good idea at
Speaker 1: the time. I'm right, why not you, I'll shrip, I'll go.
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll buy some biscuits while they're in there and
Speaker 1: get some beverages. And I didn't didn't quite work out
Speaker 1: for them.

Speaker 1: See that photo The world's tallest man met the world's
Speaker 1: shortest woman. Do you see that. No, that's an odd

Speaker 3: Let's see if I can send this to you.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to send Danny the photo. The girl
Speaker 1: who's the shortest looks like a doll, but apparently that's
Speaker 1: a real person. And then the guy. It's just unbelievable.
Speaker 1: It's the craziest photos. If you saw that, nice, just
Speaker 1: send it to Danny. It takes a couple of seconds

Speaker 1: that out. So the height difference between these two is
Speaker 1: more than six feet, is unbelievable.

Speaker 1: she'll sit on my lap. Actually, she'll sit on my shoulder.
Speaker 4: You want her to get in free to places, just
