1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: Kabbooms.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: Wow.

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard starts right now.

10
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere, and a happy happy Saturday to you.

11
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:42,080

Speaker 1: that many look forward to. This the twenty third day

13
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: of the great month of December. Happy Saturday to you.

14
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: The Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny g Radio

15
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: in the air everywhere worldwide, thanks to the power of

16
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: the pod. The power of the pod. And we'll jump

17
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: right into it. Danny. We had a spicy hot pod

18
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: on Friday, very sporty with Yamamoto, the news coming down

19
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: on Thursday leading into our Friday morning sojourn there with

20
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: Yamamoto going to the Dodgers and people up in arms.

21
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: I did enjoy. I'm not gonna lie. I didn't consume

22
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: too much social media, but I was on there and

23
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: the people that were outraged by that, and just the

24
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: Dodgers in general. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it like

25
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: somehow that's a bad thing that the Dodgers spent a

26
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: sack load of money to get good players, like they

27
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: should be shamed for doing that. And I don't get that. Logic.

28
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 3: Sports radio in the Bay Area I heard that it

29
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 3: was a shit show on Friday morning and all day

30
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 3: Friday with all the San Francisco Giants fans whining.

31
00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen Yankee fans posting videos and Yankee fans

32
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: Danny the personification, the epitome of deep pocket baseball. The

33
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: New York Yankees and some of their fans are furious

34
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: right that the Dodgers now sit in the lap of

35
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: luxury and all that. But anyway, I just got to

36
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: kick out of this. I wanted to mention that at

37
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 1: the start. But on this the Saturday Pod, we've got

38
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: the poster boy Bennie's Big Board, Ho Ho Hospital, and

39
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: we'll have some other fun I'm sure Danny some things

40
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: you want to toss into the to the stew here.

41
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: And by the way, since this is a holiday weekend,

42
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: the powers that be have informed us this podcast because

Speaker 1: it is Christmas weekend, a two for one bonus pod.

44
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: We are going to jam into this podcast two podcasts

45
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: for the price of one. You can't do that. You can't.

46
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: That's wicked good is what that is? Right, I mean,

47
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: that's amazing.

Speaker 1: And you're very lucky that you've stumbled.

55
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 4: Perfect timing because I'm going to be at Disneyland tomorrow.

56
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: Okay, well there you go. All right, So we have

57
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: we have the greatest supporters in all of radio land.

58
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: Very blessed, the very blessed. I've been doing this a

59
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: long time, and yeah, the people that listen to the

60
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: Overnight Show have been so amazing, so wonderful. This week,

61
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: I was blown away. It takes a lot for me

62
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: to be blown away. It happens every so often, and

63
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: usually it happens when you don't expect it happens. So

64
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: our friend Femi, who I actually met in Minnesota. He

65
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: lives in Minnesota. He's the number one Uber East driver

66
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: in the Twin Cities. He's become a brigadier general in

67
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: the mal Or Militia. And he dropped what I would

68
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: call a thunderbolt my direction. Just on a random night.

69
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm just doing the show, whatever people have sending comments

70
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: in nothing out of the ordinary, just normal radio night,

71
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: and then right out of left field, Femi posts the

72
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: message on social He informs me that I hadn't heard

73
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: from him in a while. Usually checks in every week

74
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: with some content. He informed me that his father had

75
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: passed away. I was like, well, that's sad, and he

76
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: said there was an elaborate funeral in his homeland in Nigeria,

77
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: and he attached a couple of photos. And in these

78
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: photos you might have seen them if you follow me

79
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: on social media. If not, they're available. We saw a

80
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: group of Nigerians holding up a poster that had my

81
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: ugly mug on it and the Ben mal show name

82
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: and the Fox Ports radio logo. As Femi the photo

83
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: journalist said he had I'd converted some of the locals

84
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: there in his native Nigeria into the mal Or Militia,

85
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: and he claimed in Nigerian culture, when someone dies, we

86
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: have the celebration of life everywhere, but in Nigeria they

87
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: do like a carnival thing for two days to celebrate,

88
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: as Femi said, a life well lived. So this just

89
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: blew mey. So from La to Nigeria, we do the

90
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: show in La seven eight hundred and twelve miles to

91
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: get from where we are to Nigeria in the middle

92
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: of Africa, and they're promoting the show. Was it was

93
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: really cool, wild wild wild, So thank you, Femi. I

94
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: do appreciate that, and in honor of that, I was inspired.

95
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: Now I don't do list Danny. You know I'm not

96
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: a list guy, right.

97
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 4: No, not at all. You do big boards, that's right.

98
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna do big board, which is not a list.

99
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: It's not a checklist. It's not a watch list. It's

100
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: not a hot list, it's not a short list. It

101
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: is none of those things. Wrong. It is a big board,

102
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: which is much different. And oftentimes people are confused by

103
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: big board. So don't be confused, right at all. It's

104
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: like the stock market. It's the Dow Jones, it's the

105
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: New York Stock Exchange, which is not a big board.

106
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: It's not.

107
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 3: It's just like how the mail bag is not anything

108
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 3: like ask Ben.

109
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly. See, you get it right. The mail bag.

110
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: People confuse that all the time because people are stupid.

111
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: It's nothing like the mail bag. The mail bag and Aspen,

112
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: they're not They're not the same. So on Big Ben's

113
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: Big board, this is the first time I've ever done this,

114
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: the ten most memorable things at this time that a

115
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: p One has done as a super fan of the

116
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: Ben Malor Show over the years. And I guarantee you

117
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting a bunch of stuff that's really good, stuff

118
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: that happened and it just slipped through my memory. So

119
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: I would like if Anthony and Anaheim here's this, or

120
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: Alf the Alien opineer, any of the guys that have

121
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: been with the show for a long time that have

122
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: listened chipping the cues, who's been with me since the

123
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: early days, if you can refresh my memory on some

124
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: of the stuff I forgot. So with that as the backdrop,

125
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: immediately admitting this is probably a terrible list, which is

126
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: not a list, it's a big board. So these are

127
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: the ten most memorable things that p ones have done

128
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: as super fans of the Ben Mahler Show at my

129
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: time at Fox Sports Radio. In no particular order. I'm

130
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: not putting these because that would make it a list, dandy.

131
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: If I put them in a certain order, that would

132
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: be a list. But there are ten things in no

133
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: particular order that we can move around. We can put

134
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: one here and move one down and all that. I'm

135
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: fine with that. But the first one I want to

136
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: bring up is Doc Mike. Now, Doc has done a

137
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: couple of anythings with me over the years. The two

138
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: things that Doc Mike has done that I want to

139
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: mention for the Big Board. Uh. One of my favorite

140
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: memories of Doc is when Michael Vick was in prison

141
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: in Levenworth in Kansas and Doc Mike so delusional that

142
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: he was convinced that Michael Vick wanted to talk to

143
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: him and that he just had to travel to Levenworth

144
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: prison to meet with Michael Vick. So Doc got in

145
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: his car from Chicago, drove to Levenworth, Kansas, and every

146
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: day for a week he would go into Levenworth and

147
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: try to meet with Michael Vick, and the wardens would be, well,

148
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: you're not on the list. He doesn't you know, he

149
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: doesn't know you can't come in. And Doc would call

150
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: me from leven outside Levenworth. He's like, I'm here, I'm here.

151
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for them to open up. You know, it's

152
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: a few hours away. They're gonna open up. And it was.

153
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: It was ridiculous. And then the other one, which is

154
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: doctored this several years. The most famous one was he'd

155
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: go to Wrigley Field every year and drop a goat

156
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: head off the Curse of the Billy Goat, and the

157
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: Cubs obviously won the World Series since this happened. But

158
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: this is a long time ago, and so he do

159
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 1: this every year. One year before a Cub Giant game,

160
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: he drops off the goat head. Now the game ends

161
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: up getting rained out. And since the Cub game got

162
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 1: rained out at Wrigley Opening Day, the sports writers had

163
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: nothing to write, so instead they wrote about this goatthead.

164
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to decapitate a goat, bloody goatthead that had

165
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: been dropped off by a lunatic fan, and I will

166
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: never forget. The then mayor of Chicago, rom Emmanuel was

167
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: his name at the time, and he held a news

168
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: conference announcing that no resource would not be used to

169
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: find out who put the goat head at Wrigley Field.

170
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: He said the Chicago police were going to investigate this.

171
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: They we're gonna get to the bottom of it, and

172
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,479
Speaker 1: we doc Mike like he laid out the whole blueprint

173
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: on the air of what he was doing. It was,

174
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: and then the mayor of Chicagoo, We're gonna get to

175
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: the bottom of this. I think, well, I think we

176
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: know who did it. I think we know who did it.

177
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: Another name that popped up on my big board here

178
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: David from winter Park, Florida, along with Roscoe the Parrot.

179
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: So David went above and beyond the call of duty here.

180
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: He drove from winter Park, Florida, which is I'm told

181
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: I've never been to winter Park, Florida, but I've told

182
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: it's kind of not far from Orlando. And he drove

183
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: up I ninety five to Boston with Roscoe the parrot,

184
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: a giant stuffed animal, Roscoe the Parrot and met me

185
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: at the Cask and Flagon in Boston for the Malor

186
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: Meet and greed and that that was just nuts it

187
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,080
Speaker 1: and that was only I was for like a couple hour.

188
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: He's meet and greets are a couple hours and he

189
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: drove all the way from Florida to hang out for

190
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: a couple hours at a random bar in Boston. So

191
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: that was that was pretty cool. And then at that

192
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: same event, Wayne from Southey is also on Big Ben's

193
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: Big Board the ten most memorable things that Pee Ones

194
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: have done as super fans in the show. Because Wayne

195
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: from Southee, this is a guy. I did it for Mallor.

196
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: I did it for Malor and he claimed he had

197
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: been sober for a number of years and he kept

198
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: buying me alcohol and buying people shots in the bar

199
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: and he wanted everyone to toast me. And so he

200
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: and I've been sober, you know, we have the drop.

201
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: And then I forget what exactly what he said, but

202
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: I did it for Mallor and that was hilarious. What

203
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: a great character Wayne from Southee is. And he didn't

204
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: call the show much anymore, but he was just wonderful.

205
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: We love Wayne. It was great. Now, also on the

206
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: Big Board, we have Ed in Spokane. Now. Ed actually

207
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 1: makes a couple appearances on Big Ben's Big Board. This

208
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: one was from the Malor Man March in twenty nineteen.

209
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: Wandering the streets of Seattle. Me and Ed and Jay

210
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: Scoop was there, and Robbie the Mariner fan, and we

211
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: had several other superstar listeners of the show from the

212
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest that had united for the malor Man March

213
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: from a certain point in downtown Seattle to the Seahawks Stadium.

214
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 1: They're playing the forty nine ers. It was like the

215
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: last week of the season the winner got in the playoffs,

216
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: and so it was a big deal, and of course

217
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: such a big deal they wouldn't let me in the stadium.

218
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, nonetheless we marched, and Wayne had his or

219
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: not Wayne ed ed excuse me, Ed had his bullhorn

220
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: and was doing chance and homeless people were yelling at

221
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: him to shut up. They homeless in Seattle because he

222
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: was so annoying. Ben Mahler Show. Listen to the Ben

223
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: Mahler Show. Also, as we continue Big Benny's Big Board,

224
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: here the ten most memorable things that pe Ones have

225
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: done as super fans of the show over the years.

226
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: And please add to this if I'm forgetting something, how

227
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: about Pete and Pittsburgh when the company laid me off

228
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: in August of actually was January's January of nine, January

229
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: twentieth o nine, I got laid off. I was rehired

230
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: in August, six months and twenty six days later, but

231
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: heat in Pittsburgh called into the King of All Media,

232
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: Howard Stearn's radio show, to say how upset he was

233
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: that I had been laid off. And so Howard talked

234
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: about my situation with Pete and Pittsburgh and not just mine,

235
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: but so many people, good hardworking radio people that were

236
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: whacked on that faithful day. And it was really funny

237
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: because I had a bunch of relatives that aren't sports

238
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: fans that were Stern fans, and I had people reaching

239
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: out to me. Did you see your name was mentioned?

240
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: Do you hear your name was mentioned on the Stern Show?

241
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: And so I want to thank Pete for that.

242
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 4: That's cool. I never heard that story.

243
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was really it was really wild. And I

244
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: actually have the audio of somebody sent me a copy

245
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: of it. I haven't in my inbox. But that was

246
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: that was cool. Now, to be fair, I mean I've

247
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: ripped Howard. I think Howard lost his fastball, but only

248
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: recently within the last like five seven years. This was

249
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: this goes back about fifteen years now. Number number five,

250
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: but again no particular order, But this is the fifth

251
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: name we'll put on the list, which is not a list,

252
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: it's Benny's big board. So number five random Cleveland fan.

253
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: Now I don't have the name of this person. I

254
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: don't know whether they're actually a fan or not. But

255
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: what they did was what a p one would do.

256
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: So we'll go back to the year twenty sixteen. I

257
00:14:54,880 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: believe it was the Cleveland Cadavers had beaten the Golden State,

258
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: or as they'd come back to beat Golden State. This

259
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: was the series. Raymond Green played the Nutcracker and got suspended,

260
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: and that turned the series around, allowed Cleveland to get

261
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: back in the series so that they win. The Cavaliers

262
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: win the championship, and I'm whatever, I'm moving on with

263
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: my life. They have a massive parade, massive rally in

264
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: downtown Cleveland, and that evening I'm getting people sending me

265
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: photos that were taken by newspapers and news websites from

266
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: the parade, and a random person I don't know who

267
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: this is. I've never seen this person before or after

268
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: this incident, was walking around the parade with a giant

269
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: poster board and on the poster board were the photos

270
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: of Skip Bayless steven A Smith, Yours truly and a

271
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: couple of the random people, and they had listed all

272
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: of us as Lebron Halves, haters, trash who were picking

273
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: against the Calves and said they weren't going to win

274
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: the big championship. And so it was hilarious because I'm

275
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: like right next to stephen A and Skip Bayless, which

276
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: is our accountants. Actually, Danny say the same, You're right

277
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: in the same tax bracket as stephen A and Skip Baalis.

278
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: But it was a great photo and I actually have

279
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: it up in my studio where I do a lot

280
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: of the work from here because it's it's like a

281
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: million people behind this guy. He's holding up a poster

282
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: with all of our photos on it. It was just

283
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: it was priceless. So it was just absolutely precious. Also,

284
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: Femi's obviously on the list. We already mentioned Femi the

285
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: Nigerian funeral for his father, the Malor poster, which was great.

286
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: I've got a few more on Benny's big board. How

287
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: about Fats from Philadelphia lighting himself on fire during the

288
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: COVID NFL draft of twenty twenty and screaming my name

289
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: that was that was amazing. He lit his chest on fire.

290
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: He also later on he did the doc mic thing,

291
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: drank some of the yellow juice, and he did it

292
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: right from the tap Danny, Oh yeah, well yeah, And

293
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: he ended up showing all of the internet little fats

294
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: which we didn't need to see. But the fats is

295
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: an all time great typical Philadelphia hardcore Eagles Neanderthal fan.

296
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: Also and in Spokane is on here again on Big

297
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: Ben's big board. This is arguably the funniest thing and

298
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: some would say the most controversial thing that anyone's done

299
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: for the show. This goes back again to the pandemic

300
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty when the world was shut down and

301
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 1: all that they were protesters, the James Floyd situation and

302
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: all that that was going on as a wild time,

303
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: and there was a Black Lives Matter ralegh is all

304
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: over the place and edin' Spokane, Washington showed up to

305
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: a Black Lives Matter rally protest in somewhere. I don't

306
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: think it was in Spokane, but somewhere, you know, in Washington.

307
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: He shows up at the rally. People are all upset

308
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: and they're complaining and protesting and the whole thing, and

309
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: he's got a megaphone, listen to the Ben Mahler Show.

310
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: You know he's.

311
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 4: Oh man.

312
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: The thing about Ed is he has no filter. Like

313
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: a lot of people would be like, I can't do that.

314
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: I'd be so embarrassed, you know, I don't want to

315
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: do that. But edin' Spokane is like, no, screw it,

316
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: I don't care. He's got no shame in his game.

317
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: And it's just the video of him screaming to listen

318
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: to the Ben Mahler Show overnights you know, and see

319
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: you in Seattle, Washington, whatever, and the looks on the

320
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,719
Speaker 1: face of the people there that are protesting is what

321
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: are you doing?

322
00:18:59,359 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 4: It was.

323
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: It was absolutely priceless, and I would be remiss if

324
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: you do it. Benny's big board and not mentioning the

325
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: greatest advertising anyone could ask for from a listener. Moving

326
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: Man Matt from Boston with his mobile Mallard billboard. Yeah

327
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: that he's got two trucks, moving trucks. He goes from

328
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: coast to coast moving thousands of pounds of product, and

329
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,479
Speaker 1: he has the very bottom on each side of his

330
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: truck promotion of the Ben Maler Show, and so that

331
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,719
Speaker 1: that's just amazing. So thank you Moving Man Matt. I'm

332
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: sure I'm missing a bunch.

333
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 3: I got a couple really quick. What do you okay?

334
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 3: How about the cake benefactor?

335
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we were getting cake every other week. And

336
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: not just cake Dandy. These were designer cakes. These were

337
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: luxury cakes every single week. These were pieces of art

338
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: that we were getting. I want a camel.

339
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 4: It was so amazing.

340
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 3: And then also I got to add to that list

341
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 3: Rod and Bakersfield. He brought steak to the studio and

342
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 3: he also had us out for a steak dinner when

343
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 3: we were at the baseball game there.

344
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, Yeah, we're in Bakersfield. Closed the whole

345
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: team down. Yes, the Bakersfield Blaze. They were a blaze, Yeah, exactly.

346
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: Mallard burned it down. Yeah, we were. The curse of

347
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: the Ben Bino was in effect there. Yeah, that was

348
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: very kind of rot.

349
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 3: And there's been a few listeners Ben that treated us

350
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,959
Speaker 3: to fat sALS. I'm thinking of Big Lou who treated

351
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 3: us a few times, and a couple others. Thank you

352
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 3: when I was on your live show. Thank you for

353
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 3: the extra ten twelve pounds I gained while I was there.

354
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 3: I'm working so hard even now to get rid of

355
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 3: that weight.

356
00:20:55,560 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: No, absolutely, and everyone's been been amazing and people have

357
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: been so kind. I know, when the pandemic was going on,

358
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: people were just like sending us random stuff in the mail,

359
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: like just you mean so much, just like so important.

360
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: Here's here's a hat, here's a shirt.

361
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,719
Speaker 3: From mugs to stickers to that woman that sent us

362
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 3: the Boston hot Dogs.

363
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: Oh that's yes, I completely that's a that's another one.

364
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: I I had a guy in Boston who was a

365
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 1: big fan, and I love the Finway Monster Dog, which is,

366
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: to me, the greatest ballpark hot dog I've ever had,

367
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: and you can buy them in the grocery stores around Boston.

368
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: I don't live in Boston, and so this guy every

369
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: year would overnight a giant and I say giant. This

370
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: thing was massive. There were probably fifty hot dogs or

371
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 1: more in this thing, and he just overnighted and there

372
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: you go. We had Finway Monster Dogs, Finway Franks and

373
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: I would grill those things up during the summer and

374
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: it was just awesome. So a wonderful gesture for sure,

375
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: And thanks to everyone else, and really really really cool,

376
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: really really really cool. I know there were some other stuff,

377
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: Danny Ray, you had some things on your mind. You

378
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: wanted to share with the class this week and things

379
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: that have happened as we wind down heading in this

380
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: is a two for one special this holiday weekend.

381
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wanted to ask you a fun question that

382
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 3: we covered on Old School and fifty Hits.

383
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 4: This past Thursday.

384
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 3: On Covino and Rich it was National ba Humbug Day

385
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 3: and the question was what's one thing that everybody else

386
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 3: loves but you hate. We got some great calls, really

387
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 3: good stories from the guys dumb for my answer, but

388
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 3: they laughed because I said soup. Not a fan of soup, No,

389
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 3: because my mom used to serve tomato soup and I'd say,

390
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 3: what's for dinner and she'd say the soup that's on

391
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 3: the table, and I'm like, that's not dinner.

392
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, Soup's not dinner. It's an appetizer.

393
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you, unless it's a hearty like

394
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: a thick chicken soup with lots of chicken. But for

395
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: the most part, ninety eight percent of soup is not

396
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: It's just it doesn't fill you up.

397
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.

398
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 3: And then after if you can think of one, well,

399
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 3: I tell you this lady called in Amber from Dallas.

400
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 3: She called in and she ranted in a fun way,

401
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 3: but she ranted on what she called Disneyland adults.

402
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 4: Disney adults people.

403
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 3: Who are grown but still act like little kids when

404
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 3: they get to go to Disneyland and they wear the

405
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 3: ears and they go maybe without kids. She was trying

406
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 3: to make the point that only kids belong at that park.

407
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, she hates it. Everyone else loves it. She

408
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 4: hates it.

409
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's a Debbie Downer. I'm famous for I can't

410
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: say I hate this because I've never had it, but coffee.

411
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: So many people love coffee. I've never had a cup

412
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: of coffee. And like everywhere I go, Tom Looney know,

413
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: I do the TV show with Benny versus the Penny.

414
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: He's always trying to every week. You just have some coffee.

415
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: You know, you should really drink some coffee. Like it's

416
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: like this peer pressure my wife, you drink some CoFe

417
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: should really have some coffee. You know your life would

418
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: be better with coffee. I'm like, no, I don't need

419
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: the coffee.

420
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 4: You just hate hearing people talk about it.

421
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: The other one, much like you with your mom and

422
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,239
Speaker 1: the soup. My mom loved turkey, bless her soul, So

423
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: anytime anything big happened in the family birthday holiday, she

424
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: would run to make a turkey. I ate so much

425
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: turkey that I don't like turkey anymore. I hate it.

426
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 3: We had a caller who called up and said his

427
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 3: uncle bought big tubs of peanut butter, and for months

428
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 3: and months and months they lived off that peanut butter.

429
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 3: And to this day he can no longer eat peanut butter.

430
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 3: Whatso whoever, that reminds me of that. And I'll say

431
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 3: for my mom, besides that tomato soup, she used to

432
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 3: serve us baloney sandwiches all the time. It got to

433
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 3: the point where I asked her, I said, is there

434
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 3: anything else we could put in the bread? If I

435
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 3: even smelled bloni right now, I would probably vomit.

436
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. For me, the sandwich was tunafish. My mom loved

437
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: to give me a tuna fish sandwich because she read

438
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: in some magazine that was healthy for you. Of course,

439
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: it probably had so much mercury at that time when

440
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: I was a kid.

441
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 4: I don't know that mercury and mayonnaise.

442
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. It was covered in mayonnaise. But the problem

443
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: was she would put an ice pack in there. But

444
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: I'd go to school at seven thirty in the morning,

445
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, started at eight, and it was hot in

446
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: a late you know, early in the year be hot,

447
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: and the ice pack would wear off by the time

448
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: I got the lunch. It was a warm tuna fish sandwich. Gross,

449
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: not really to my taste, buds, I did not really

450
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: enjoy a warm tuna fish sandwich. So that's the only fish.

451
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: That's why the last fish I ate. This next tale

452
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: is very relatable. Now. Recently I made my annual trip

453
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: to the North Pole. What a perfect time this holiday

454
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: weekend here the day before, the day before that matters,

455
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: so our tradition of taking Rudolph the rent Nose reindeer

456
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: to Santa's workshop yours truly, wearing a Santa suit, as

457
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 1: I portrayed the legendary character Santa Claus Chris Kringle each

458
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: year give back to the community. The wife is a

459
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: public servant as a nine to one to one operator

460
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: in the town she works in. I get to play

461
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: Santa Claus and I get strapped to the back of

462
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 1: a fire truck. In fact, I'll put some photos online

463
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: later today so you can see see what I've got

464
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: going on. But we ride around the town my wife

465
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: works in with a police escort, and I wave at men,

466
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: women and children as I spread holiday joy and fun

467
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: fact about Santa Claus. Now, according to the Internet, this

468
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: must be true because I read it on the Internet,

469
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: and the Internet's never wrong. The modern American version of

470
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: the suit is attributed to a guy named Thomas Nast

471
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: who was working for Harper's Weekly magazine, and it's often

472
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: confused with Coca Cola. Now Coca Cola. This guy, Hayden's

473
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: sun Bloom is the guy's name. He standardized what the

474
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: image of Santa looks like, and because of Coca Cola,

475
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: they had the red suit and the white for trim,

476
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: which is what we associate with ever since then. But

477
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: this goes back way back to the eighteen hundreds, and

478
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: the image that was drawn by this guy, Thomas Nast,

479
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: is what is Santa Claus. He took and combined created

480
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: the modern version of Santa Claus, which was based on

481
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: a couple of German figures Saint Nicholas, and we Hashtisman

482
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:27,719
Speaker 1: probably butchered that not great with Germany racist. But this

483
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: guy Nast, who's been dead for over one hundred years,

484
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: I believe now, But what a contribution to still modern

485
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: society because he created what is the image of Santa

486
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: Claus as people know it in the Western world. But

487
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: also he created the elephant, which is the symbol for

488
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: the Republican Party. That you know, that drawing of the elephant. Yeah,

489
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: that was his, that was his, that he came up

490
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: with it. And they still the Republican car the Republican

491
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: Party still uses that as there they're met all these

492
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: years later, and he's he's been called the father of

493
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: American cartoon, the father of the American cartoons. So anyway,

494
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: I get back to the point. Please all right, So

495
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I just got cured. But back to

496
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: my day of Santa Claus. So I had a blast.

497
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: People genuinely enjoyed the night. That's the vibe I got.

498
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: A lot of kiddos were smiling. I know things were

499
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: going well because I saw a lot of statue of liberties.

500
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: You know what the statue of liberty is, Daniel, When

501
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: you're at an event and everyone's holding up their arm

502
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: and yeah, photos like they're this, you know, holding up

503
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: the torch, this Lady Liberty and so that was kind

504
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: of cool. People wanted to record it.

505
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 4: Now did you get to throw candy?

506
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: I did not, but people, some of the people, some

507
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: of the jokesters were actually throwing like like they were

508
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: fake snowballs. They were like little like cloth snowballs, and

509
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: so they would throw them at me, and every once

510
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: in a while I would catch one and throw it

511
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: back at him, and they were howling like when I

512
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: threw it back, like, well, Santa Claus is throwing a

513
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: snowball back at us. That's the funniest thing in the world.

514
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: So this lasted like three I was we went up

515
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: in the mountains. It was a mountain community, went up

516
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: in the mountains. It was very cold, probably in the

517
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: high thirties when we went up to the mountains there,

518
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: and I'm just wearing a Santa suit doing my thing,

519
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: and everything's great. The hardest part of that, you know what,

520
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: the hardest part of the day was, Danny, I'm gonna

521
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: take a guess.

522
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 4: When you had a urinate.

523
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: No, I didn't drink water all day because I didn't

524
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: want to have to urinate and get out of the

525
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: Santa suit. So that was not the problem. The hardest

526
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: part was getting off the fire truck. And this is

527
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: a dicey situation. So in my haste needed a crane. Well,

528
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: in my haste, daddy. It was hard enough to get

529
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: on the fire truck, the very top of the fire truck,

530
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: but then to get off the fire truck. Now, as

531
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a gymnast and I am, like I

532
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: do yoga, I'm very flexible. Wrong again, And as I

533
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: was crawling on the roof of the fire truck to

534
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: reach over the side to try to put my massive

535
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: feet on the steps to get off said fire truck.

536
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: I get down off the truck, and it was like

537
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: that classic episode of the old comedy The Honeymooners. Oh

538
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: my aching back. I had lower back pain for most

539
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: of the last week, and I'm like walking around like

540
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: an old guy. I could not even like bend over.

541
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: It was like I couldn't sleep on my side. I

542
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: had to sleep. It's where you have to sleep on

543
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: your back when you hurt your back, you have to

544
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: kind of lay flat. And took most of the week

545
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: before my back kind of snapped back in place. But

546
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: it was like, I mean, I'm at the age now

547
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: we're even getting off a freaking fire truck. I might

548
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: end up damaging myself. So it was it was whole, whole,

549
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,479
Speaker 1: whole hospital. But unfortunately did not have to go to

550
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: the hospital. I probably should have had it checked out,

551
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: but I knew I had just twisted a muscle at

552
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: my lower back, and I was like, yeah, you know,

553
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: be fine. And plus I couldn't really complain about it.

554
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: I didn't mention it on the radio because I have

555
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: pointed out, and this is hand to god, a true

556
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: story when I covered the NBA back in the nineties,

557
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: and this was like a running joke among the coaches

558
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: and whatnot.

559
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, the famous back injury.

560
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, when like a player went out and had a

561
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: little too much fun with the ladies and the boothe

562
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: both and they wanted to miss a game, they'd come

563
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: up with a lower back injury. Because at that time,

564
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: and I still think this is the case, there's no

565
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: there's no test, there's no real treatment that you can do.

566
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: It's just, you know, it's when it feels better, you're

567
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: able to play and all that stuff. And so it's

568
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: a phantom injury exactly. So I can't say, well, I

569
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: had a lower back injury. I couldn't miss work. I

570
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: have a lower back injury. So because everyone knows that's

571
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: a bogus injury. But I had it and it hurt

572
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: like a mofo. I was like, damn, I know you've

573
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: had some backstuff, Danny, right, you've had some issues from

574
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: now now and again right to pop up.

575
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 4: In fact, what was it?

576
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 3: It was Thursday afternoon that Covino was complaining about a

577
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 3: back injury he has. He did it at the gym,

578
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 3: and then he re injured it by getting into his

579
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 3: car really quick because of the downpour. He like contorted

580
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 3: his body in a weird way to get into the

581
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 3: car extra fast because of the rain, and so he

582
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 3: retweaked it. He was groaning in pain. Rich called him

583
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 3: a pussy on the air and he stopped complaining. But

584
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 3: I busted out one of those Shaquille O'Neal sticks that

585
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 3: numb the lower back.

586
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 4: The roller Oh those.

587
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, man, I have that in my backpack because

588
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 3: from time to time my lower back barks to the

589
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 3: point where I got to roll that bad boy on

590
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 3: there and just numb it.

591
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: Ruh. Yeah, It's like, yeah, come on, Like I don't

592
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: feel that old, but stuff like that happens. I'm like,

593
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: I can't even get off a fire truck, like I

594
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: used to jump off those things. It was no problem.

595
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: But then I was like, I gotta I gotta have

596
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: like an army of people around me to make sure

597
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: I go slowly and not jump off the truck. And

598
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: what a pain in Okas, we do have a Backscratcher

599
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: this week, and we'll just get to that real quickly.

604
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: from I don't think this is the real name, Kwang

605
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: from Vietnam. Now maybe we have a listener in Vietnam.

606
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: It's possible.

607
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 4: Probably not one of your brother's friends that he's going

608
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 4: to visit.

609
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: That's right, yeah, he says. Headline fight Club. On the

610
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: Backscratcher review, he says, these guys never even ask for reviews,

611
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: which is nice, So I figured i'd review out of

612
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 1: the kindness of my heart. Five stars.

613
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:58,240

615
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 4: like that.

616
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. See, this is what we were hoping for. Unlike

617
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: the Donkey last week, I think it was who was Well,

618
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: these guys have been really nice of management. Didn't that

Speaker 1: is going to add in the summer of twenty twenty four,

635
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: corner to internet speculation, chocolate ice cream to the food court.

636
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: They added strawberry I Scream, which was a I didn't

637
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: think that would be good, but I love it. I

638
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,120

Speaker 1: the food court. Yeah, oh man, it's a nice upgrade.

640
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 3: On this podcast, we've mentioned the old school McDonald's burning

641
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 3: hot apple pies. Yes, yes, I didn't get to test

642
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,479
Speaker 3: it because I'm on a no sugar kick right now.

643
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 3: Do you ever go to Panda Express.

644
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: Every once in a while. Yeah, I will go there,

645
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 1: and maybe I'll even go there on Christmas because I

646
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: used to always go there with my dad. We'd have

647
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 1: Christmas eat Chinese food like all yeah.

648
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,960

649
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 3: our audience, next time you walk in, get dessert. Because

650
00:36:55,920 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 3: they are now offering hot apple pies. The picture at

651
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 3: least looked like the old school McDonald's.

652
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: Is that right, that's cool. Yeah, no, the McDonald's. We

653
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: talked about this on the podcast months ago. But there's

654
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: one McDonald's that serves the original apple pie, and I

655
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: think I think it's around here.

656
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 4: It's in Downy Downey, California.

657
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you can. We're lucky we live close enough

658
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,760
Speaker 1: geographically desirable we can get the old apple pie. Also,

659
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 1: do you see that Chick fil a? Some Chick fil

660
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: A locations may soon be open on Sunday. It's this

661
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: a seven seven year old policy that wow, don't changed.

662
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: Why because of politicians in New York and it didn't

663
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:42,919
Speaker 1: get a lot of attention, But the New York State

664
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: Assembly proposed the rest Stop Restaurant Act, which would require

665
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: food and beverage companies along the New York State Thruway

666
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 1: to stay open seven days a week.

667
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 4: Now.

668
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: Chick fil A currently operates seven locations on the New

669
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 1: York through Way and has three more scheduled to be built.

670
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: And if this does end up going and continuing through

671
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: the as a law, they will be forced to have

672
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: either get rid of their locations on the New York

673
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,479
Speaker 1: through Away, which apparably they like because they're adding three more,

674
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: or they're going to have to open on Sunday. Hey

675
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: you jesus, how pissed would those employees be at Chick

676
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: fil A? Right? They get Sundays off?

677
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 3: You We're on Sunday and now you go, that's when

678
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 3: they should just schedule all the atheists that they have

679
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 3: on staff.

680
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,879
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you could do that, and they have one

681
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: at the Falcon Stadium in Atlanta, right that they But

682
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: it's not all it's weird. They have one in the steam,

683
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: but it's not open on Sunday. They play on Sunday.

684
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, come on.

685
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 3: My wife and I we always crave chicken from their joint,

686
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 3: and it's always a Sunday. We're always like, why do

687
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 3: we want to go there on Sunday? We know they're

688
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 3: not open, but it's happened a few times. We're like, man,

689
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 3: I want Chick fil A today. Oh crap, it's Sunday.

690
00:38:58,400 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

691
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 4: No, it always seems to happen.

692
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: Well, that's one of the reasons that they put and

693
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: this is brilliant by our friends at Raising Canes. They

694
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: often will put a Raising Canes right across the street

695
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: from a Chick fil A, because James knows at least

696
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: one day a week they will own the chicken market.

697
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: They also know that Chick fil A often has a

698
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 1: line of cars, and sometimes people will go and see

699
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: the line of cars and the drive through at Chick

700
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: fil A, and they'll say, I'm not going to wait

701
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: and line, I'm going to go over to Raising Canes.

702
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,319

Speaker 1: No, that was a drop. I wouldn't. I'm a professional broadcast.

Speaker 1: for me to post on Facebook. But let's get right

733
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: to the bag. What's in the bag? First one from

734
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: Alf the cybersecurity department of FSR. He's excited there that

735
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: he saw construction of aforementioned raising canes in Connecticut. He said. Also, Ben,

736
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: as I was consuming last week's collection of podcast, something

737
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: particularly caused my ears to perk up. It has been

738
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: brought to my attention that my TikTok account may have

739
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: been compromised. During the footy fund portion of the podcast,

740
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 1: you mentioned stories and videos that I had bookmarked only

741
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 1: days earlier that I was planning on sending you and

742
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: Daddy G. So it is evident to me that someone

743
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: on your social media staff either hacked my account or

744
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: you as a closet TikTok aficionato. The latter is obviously

745
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: not true, because we're where would you find the time

746
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: to do such research for the pod. That's what you

747
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:18,359
Speaker 1: pay an army of underlings for, absolutely alf you get it,

748
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: don't you get it? Pal? That'd be like saying that

749
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: you spend hours on end preparing for the overnight show

750
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: and your producer has very little to do with the

751
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: show outside screening a few calls here and there. I

752
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: hope I can count on you to do the right

753
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 1: thing and reprimand the guilty and maintain the honorable ben

754
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: Malor brand Well. I will do that. Alf heads are

755
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: going to roll. He also included a link to the

756
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: former McDonald's chef that we referenced on a previous pod,

757
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: and his tip to acquiring the pickles that taste almost

758
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: identical to the ones at McDonald's, which I'm good what

759
00:42:58,239 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 1: I do. I don't know about you, Danny. When I

760
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: get the hamburger, the cheeseburger, I take the pickles off.

761
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 1: I don't like the pickles.

762
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 4: I don't like the pickles when they're warm.

763
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, alps kick his fetish as the pickle. He loves

764
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: the pickle. Next up, Daniel in Fort Wayne, Indiana says, Hey, guys,

765
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: have you considered coming to Fort Wayne to take in

766
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: a comet that's a hockey minor league hockey team or

767
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: a ten Caps during baseball season. Danny, I'm sure you

768
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: and the wife and CoA and the family there would

769
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: love to go to Fort Wayne, right, that's on your

770
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: bucket list to visit for a vacation.

771
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 4: It's on my top ten board, which is not a list.

772
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: Not a list, it's a big board because you don't

773
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: do lists because you don't be irrelevant if you do

774
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: a list. Yeah, Daniel is part of the Chamber of Comers.

775
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: He's just started calling the show recently. I liked Dane.

776
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: He's a character. I can tell this guy's got the

777
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,800
Speaker 1: ability to rise the ranks. He's an up and comer

778
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: in the mal and militia, and he loves Fort Wayne.

779
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: He can't get enough of Fort Wayne. And he promotes

780
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: Fort Wayne. He wants people to come to Fort Wayne.

781
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 1: He loves his town. And it's just it's a music.

782
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind going to a baseball game. We have

783
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 1: not thrown out the first pitch at a baseball game

784
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: in a while, so it'd be a lot of fun

785
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: to go to a Tin Caps game and throw out

786
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: the first pitch. And I haven't been to a minor

787
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: league hockey game in a while either, So thank you, Daniel,

788
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: And again Danny's us it's high in his vacations. It's

789
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 1: either that of the Bahamas and you know oftentimes they'll

790
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 1: go Fort Wayne George and Uvaldi says, guys, which movie

791
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: do you prefer this time of the year, Scrooged with

792
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 1: Bill Murray or National Lampoons Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase.

793
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:44,760
Speaker 1: So this is tough because Bill Murray is a legend.

794
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: We love Bill Murray, but I'm going with chevy Chase

795
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: on this one. I've watched that National Lampoons Christmas Vacation

796
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: where he cuts down the tree in the middle of

797
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: the forest and the whole thing. I watched that more

798
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: than probably any other Christmas movie, So that gets my vote.

799
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 4: What about you, Dany.

800
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 3: Chevy Chase sledding out of control into the Walmart parking

801
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 3: lot is an all time favorite scene. I gotta go

802
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 3: that route. And then the other movie I would throw

803
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 3: in there Home Alone. It's something I love and everybody

804
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 3: in the family loves it. So that's a movie that's

805
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 3: going to be on this weekend.

806
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,520

Speaker 3: This is usually where I mutter under my breath, Jesus.

825
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 3: In this case, Jesus would not want you to do

00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 1: moments that happened on the show if you might have

881
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 1: missed it, and we replay some of the great things

882
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,879
Speaker 1: that happen. It's a really fun idea that we've done

883
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 1: for years. And you can hear a little bit from

884
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 1: every show and you can sample our show and the

885
00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:59,919
Speaker 1: cool thing. Some people complain Danny say, well, what only

886
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 1: just play your episode over and over again. It was like, well, no,

887
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 1: we want to expose you to other people. And our

888
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 1: episode gets played in other times, and so people for

889
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 1: our show at times that we're not on, and so

890
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 1: it's great for everyone.

891
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 4: Cross contamination.

892
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: Yes, we can taminate your mind with other shows, and

893
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: so it's it's a really great idea, and I'm glad

894
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:21,919
Speaker 1: that we're included because we get to play be played

895
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: in the daytime a little bit and at night and

896
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: so it's good and in rotation and all that. But

897
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 1: to be safe, Danny, assume you're taking a little break too.

898
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:32,879
Speaker 1: Are you taking a whole time here this week?

899
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, So we're going to be at the park tomorrow

900
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 3: in Anaheim, and then Covino and Rich we'll be back,

901
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 3: but not on the afternoon show. We'll be back next

902
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,439
Speaker 3: Wednesday for Dan Patrick and we're doing the hat trick

903
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 3: Wednesday Thursday Friday morning.

904
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: All right, very cool. And I will be in a

905
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,839
Speaker 1: couple of nights. I'm off Christmas even to Christmas Day

906
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 1: and Christmas Night into the following day. But then I'll

907
00:50:57,239 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 1: be in two nights. I'll have the TV show. That's

908
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 1: part of the reason I'm not taking the whole week off.

909
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 1: So I will have the TV show next weekend, and

910
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,359
Speaker 1: I'll do a couple of nights of radio and we'll

911
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: have the pod next weekend and all that. So that

912
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 1: is the schedule. But be safe. Hopefully you spend some

913
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 1: time with family and friends and if not, if we're
