Speaker 1: Kabooms.
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. Wow to Clearinghouse of
Speaker 2: hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 2: with Ben Mallard starts right now.
Speaker 3: In the air everywhere, The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Speaker 3: Mahler and Danny g Radio and a Happy Saturday to you,
Speaker 3: the twenty sixth day of the month of October, and
Speaker 3: Danny the toyers are now.
Speaker 4: This is not one not.
Speaker 1: To three winds away, three winds away Danny from winning
Speaker 1: another champion ship is game one in the books against
Speaker 1: those evil New York Yankees. Last night at the Ravine,
Speaker 1: the scenario you dream about. Freddy is living first pitch swinging.
Speaker 5: High fly ball Dude, Freddie Friedman channeling is inner Kirk Gibson.
Speaker 1: Oh, walk up, home run hid Dame.
Speaker 5: One of the World.
Speaker 6: Series, Dude, What a way to start the World Series.
Speaker 6: And Ben, we will not get robbed of a parade
Speaker 6: this time in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: No, we will not. Although I think last night there
Speaker 1: was a parade.
Speaker 7: It was a slow moving parade by ways and byeways.
Speaker 7: Bananas and the Dodgers are now one went into the
Speaker 7: World Series. We'll see what happens later today with game
Speaker 7: number two of the Fall Classic Boo. Now, speaking of
Speaker 7: the Dodgers, though, I got to address this, Danny.
Speaker 1: I know you didn't go to Game one. You were
Speaker 1: working and you had your responsibilities. The microphone throttler. This
Speaker 1: is the most expensive World Series on the secondary market
Speaker 1: of all time? Does it really have to be that way?
Speaker 1: Is it really necessary to have the minimum.
Speaker 7: Get in price at this World Series? I think they
Speaker 7: say it was over one thousand dollars. I think overall,
Speaker 7: when you can bind.
Speaker 1: The really really wealthy and the cheapest seat in the
Speaker 1: upper deck, it's it's like seventeen hundred dollars or something
Speaker 1: like that, it's gonna be outrageous at Yankee Stadium. Also,
Speaker 1: so what happened? Did I'm old enough and you're around
Speaker 1: my age, Danny. Remember when we were younger, people would
Speaker 1: line up to try to buy tickets to the playoffs,
Speaker 1: and you'd get them at like a normal rate.
Speaker 6: There was a great thread Ben on threads that you
Speaker 6: would have loved just to show you how out of
Speaker 6: touch some, especially women. And I'm not trying to be sexist,
Speaker 6: but think of a younger. She looked like she was
Speaker 6: in her twenties, and she looked like maybe guys take
Speaker 6: her to dinner a lot. But she wrote a thread
Speaker 6: saying where can I please buy a Dodgers World Series
Speaker 6: ticket for seventy five dollars? And in parentheses she wrote
Speaker 6: good seats. And she was not being ironic, She wasn't
Speaker 6: being sarcastic. She was dead serious because the first comment
Speaker 6: or underneath her threads said, are you effing serious? It
Speaker 6: costs one hundred and fifty dollars to get into the
Speaker 6: damn parking lot to park. And then she replied to
Speaker 6: a couple people, I had no idea. You had no idea.
Speaker 6: You really think you can get into an LA event,
Speaker 6: let alone a world series? And I looked it up, Ben,
Speaker 6: the price for a nineteen eighty eight ticket for Dodger
Speaker 6: Stadium for the World Series just to get in? Then
Speaker 6: what's fifty bucks?
Speaker 4: Eight bucks? All right?
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I was going to say, actually.
Speaker 7: That, but still, yeah, let's do now, you want to
Speaker 7: do the inflation.
Speaker 1: I love the inflation calculator. You want to do the
Speaker 1: inflation calculator.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I'm dying to hear what it should be.
Speaker 6: This is kind of like how we've done this for Disneyland.
Speaker 6: Let me punch this in here, hit this button here.
Speaker 4: So the year.
Speaker 7: You go back in the hot tup time machine to
Speaker 7: nineteen eighty eighty, you're nineteen eighty eight. Let's see the
Speaker 7: Dodgers won the World Series.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you had the Bulldog oral herscheizer on the mound.
Speaker 1: You said fifty dollars for a World Series ticket?
Speaker 4: Yep, the same.
Speaker 7: And let's calculate it. So a world same item today,
Speaker 7: a World Series ticket at face value should cost one
Speaker 7: hundred and thirty three dollars and twenty six cents.
Speaker 1: Say what what the f Yeah?
Speaker 7: You can't Wow, do not even look at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 7: You cannot even look at Dodger Stadium for one hundred
Speaker 7: and thirty three dollars. I think the taxes when you
Speaker 7: when you break down the taxes, Danny on these tickets
Speaker 7: for a thousand.
Speaker 1: I looked. I was like, well, you know, maybe if
Speaker 1: I can get a cheap ticket, you know, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't have media access anymore because I'm not from Japan,
Speaker 1: I know, cover Otani, and so the Dodgers don't really
Speaker 1: want me out there. So I was like, maybe I'll
Speaker 1: buy some tings na NA the very top the worst
Speaker 1: seats in Dodger Stadium where you have a better view
Speaker 1: of the Mountain Range than anything in the.
Speaker 7: Ballpark upper deck, near the foul pole and near the
Speaker 7: parle gates. A thousand dollars and some change. And that
Speaker 7: was as of Monday. I think it's gone up.
Speaker 1: You know, who knows.
Speaker 7: We'll see it's game two tonight. They've played one games,
Speaker 7: so you know, obviously we'll see if that changes. But
Speaker 7: it's just just nuts man, just absolutely, and I get it.
Speaker 1: I understand.
Speaker 7: You've got the very wealthy in LA who have made
Speaker 7: their money, a lot of them in entertainment, other people
Speaker 7: because of social media stuff. And then in New York
Speaker 7: you've got a lot of investment people, financial people, Wall
Speaker 7: Street people that are ridiculously wealthy that have f you
Speaker 7: money and they're like, either they want to go because
Speaker 7: they actually like the Yankees, and then the people in
Speaker 7: LA like the Dodgers or as you know, Danny a
Speaker 7: lot of these freaking events. It's just a place to
Speaker 7: be seen. You got to be out there, you got
Speaker 7: to hang out, you got to mingle, even though you're
Speaker 7: not you're not really a Yankee or Dodger fan. We're
Speaker 7: gonna we saw this last night, and I think we're
Speaker 7: going to see a ton of this, especially in New
Speaker 7: York where the people behind home plate that are wearing
Speaker 7: the hats with the tags on them.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 7: Yeah, like they gift shop and bought a bunch of merch.
Speaker 4: Now, Ben, you're gonna love this.
Speaker 6: It's something we talked about Friday afternoon on the Covino
Speaker 6: and Rich Show. From Craigslist, I just texted it to you.
Speaker 1: Wow, I will marry you and get you citizenship for
Speaker 1: Dodger too.
Speaker 6: This guy posted a picture of himself and it looks
Speaker 6: like his son. But I guess he's divorced or never
Speaker 6: got married because he is single, and he's offering to
Speaker 6: marry a woman to get her her citizenship in exchange
Speaker 6: for World Series seats.
Speaker 1: Wow, No, isn't that illegal? I think I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 6: On the black market, that's fifteen thousand dollars or maybe
Speaker 6: even more nowadays. Right if you get somebody their citizenship.
Speaker 1: So this guy's that horny to go to the World
Speaker 1: Series that he will marry some random stranger and they
Speaker 1: have don't they have to stay married for like ten
Speaker 1: years or something like that.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 6: I don't know what the length is. I think it
Speaker 6: depends which state you're married in. That or that's gotta
Speaker 6: be fake.
Speaker 4: No, that's real. That post I sent you is real, So.
Speaker 1: I should text I should text this guy right now say.
Speaker 4: Yeah, his phone number is on that Wow.
Speaker 7: It says I'm thirty one years old Dodger fan that
Speaker 7: is looking for good World Series tickets. I offer getting
Speaker 7: married to you and getting you citizenship. You don't have
Speaker 7: to worry about Trump anymore. Wow, get married for Dodger
Speaker 7: tickets and think of the future you will have getting
Speaker 7: closer to the American dream.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So there it is.
Speaker 6: The second picture is of me and groomsman text Chris
Speaker 6: at seven one four blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 7: I mean a guy must not have any money. I mean,
Speaker 7: that's one way to do it. That is how many?
Speaker 1: How many women are looking for husbands on Craigslist and
Speaker 1: this is where.
Speaker 6: They're Yeah, women who have an extra World Series ticket.
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly. Well, I guess it is cheaper, you know,
Speaker 7: if you spend four grand on tickets as opposed to
Speaker 7: what you say, ten grand for citizenship or something like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: What I've heard in the past is that there are
Speaker 6: people from other countries who may or may not pay
Speaker 6: you quietly twenty thousand dollars to obtain their citizenship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's we missed out, Danny. We got we got married.
Speaker 1: We didn't do this. I mean that's that's a money maker.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Instead it cost us ten to twenty thousand dollars
Speaker 4: to kick me marry.
Speaker 1: We could have pulled this off multiple times, to be
Speaker 1: like Larry King, the old Larry King. How many times
Speaker 1: was he married? Seven, eight, nine times, ten years?
Speaker 4: I'll get know.
Speaker 7: The twenty thousand dollars. You invest that money and then
Speaker 7: boom man. All right, well that that.
Speaker 4: Is what a world?
Speaker 1: What a world?
Speaker 7: So I have out of bullets, Clark Kent chuckles. So
Speaker 7: I want to go back to the Friday Show. I
Speaker 7: should have mentioned this yesterday, but I was talking about
Speaker 7: my voice being shredded the other d and all that.
Speaker 7: So the Friday show was interesting. The radio show, I
Speaker 7: was on fumes.
Speaker 1: You know, normal routine, not quite as normal because I
Speaker 1: took off Wednesday into Thursday because of my vocal issues,
Speaker 1: and so I was on FUMES.
Speaker 7: I was doing the TV show, prepping for that and
Speaker 7: all that, and then I came home, got ready for
Speaker 7: the radio show. And I told a similar story a
Speaker 7: couple weeks ago, but I was so bedraggled. I was bedraggled,
Speaker 7: Benny that I clicked the thing you shouldn't have clicked
Speaker 7: at the time.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't have clicked it.
Speaker 7: After spending a fair amount of my day getting ready
Speaker 7: for the radio show, I what I do is I
Speaker 7: put together bullet points things I think are important that
Speaker 7: i'll i'll throw together in a monologue. And I spend
Speaker 7: decent amount of time doing this get ready for the show.
Speaker 7: Because if you're going to listen, it's your time. Is
Speaker 7: the most important thing you have, it's the most valuable
Speaker 7: thing you have, and if you're going to spend your
Speaker 7: time listening to the show, I feel like I need
Speaker 7: to put my time in. So I put these bullet
Speaker 7: points together and roughly, yet again, about thirty seconds before
Speaker 7: it's my time to talk. I hear Monsey's she was
Speaker 7: in for Eddie. Eddie was on assignment watching the Kings
Speaker 7: play the Sharks, so he just.
Speaker 1: Took the night off. How about shut up.
Speaker 7: So it's like thirty seconds before the top of they
Speaker 7: are in. Lorrain is in my headphone. She's like, all right,
Speaker 7: your MIC's son, green light go, and I'm like, I
Speaker 7: click on this thing to get my bullet points for
Speaker 7: the monologue things you know, i'd put.
Speaker 1: Together, and instead of green light, oh, it's red light stop.
Speaker 7: And somehow I clicked the thing I shouldn't have clicked,
Speaker 7: or I deleted something and that's it. No no bullets,
Speaker 7: no bullet points, nothing.
Speaker 4: No ingredients for the Baba good news.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And uh. The thing that blows me away is
Speaker 1: I just I did it and I thought it was
Speaker 1: smooth enough. Nobody messaged me saying, hey, why does it
Speaker 1: sound different or so?
Speaker 7: Or I don't understand. I don't get it what's going on.
Speaker 7: I just like, in my head I tried. One of
Speaker 7: the reason I do the bullplayers, I try to remember
Speaker 7: I have them in front of me, but I try
Speaker 7: to just let it rip, Danny, you know, I try
Speaker 7: to let it rip and so, but nobody mentioned it,
Speaker 7: which is either the fact that no one's listening, no
Speaker 7: one's paying attention, or I was able to pull it off.
Speaker 7: I'm not sure which one that is, but even my
Speaker 7: biggest supporters, not a single one of them reached out
Speaker 7: to me.
Speaker 1: It is like, hey, I something seemed a little off there.
Speaker 1: I was able to pull off the naked bootleg. That
Speaker 1: was about the hour three Mallar monologue, which was about
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones and the situation with the Giants. It was
Speaker 1: about Derrick Henry.
Speaker 7: There was a story behind a paywall on the Athletic
Speaker 7: where some NFL executives like, well, now we're gonna we
Speaker 7: should probably pay running back and be prisoner of a moment.
Speaker 1: But that was the That was the hour. So hour three.
Speaker 7: I have to make sure that doesn't happen. This has
Speaker 7: now happened twice in like the last two months. This
Speaker 7: has happened. So it's I always feel like Danny, like,
Speaker 7: why am I wasting my if I'm just going to
Speaker 7: delete this stuff. I mean, there's a lot of guys
Speaker 7: just show up and don't do any prep Like I
Speaker 7: could do that, my life would be a lot easier.
Speaker 7: I'd have a lot more time, a lot more me
Speaker 7: time if I did that, but I actually prepare it,
Speaker 7: I was like, and then then you know, every once
Speaker 7: in a while, this crap happens.
Speaker 1: Sucks.
Speaker 6: The famous story about jay Z is that he's in
Speaker 6: the studio. He's listening to the beat that back in
Speaker 6: the day Kanye West or somebody else was playing for him,
Speaker 6: and he just wanted to write to it right away
Speaker 6: because he liked it so much. But he wouldn't take
Speaker 6: out a pen and pad. He would just come up
Speaker 6: with the lyrics in his head and keep going over
Speaker 6: it in his head. And then he walked straight into
Speaker 6: the booth and lay down the verse from writing the
Speaker 6: lyrics inside his head. So it sounds like you're pulling
Speaker 6: a jay Z.
Speaker 1: Well, very similar. When you think of me and jay Z,
Speaker 1: we have a lot in common other than our backgrounds,
Speaker 1: our finances and everything.
Speaker 6: Your wife was a member of Destiny's Child when they
Speaker 6: first came out, though, so you have that in common.
Speaker 7: According to Wikipedia, believe my favorite improv story, my favorite
Speaker 7: improv story of all time is for my childhood, what
Speaker 7: I was taught in school was one of the ten
Speaker 7: greatest speeches in American history. Martin Luther King the I
Speaker 7: Have a Dream speech, which was ad libbed and this
Speaker 7: famous speech in the whole deal. He just did it
Speaker 7: on the fly. He did improv. He had the speech
Speaker 7: written out. And the famous story is he gave a
Speaker 7: copy of the speech to this this kid that was
Speaker 7: working security in Washington, d C. Who happened to end
Speaker 7: up becoming a famous college basketball coach, George Raveling. I
Speaker 7: believe he's a guy's name, and gave him the speech,
Speaker 7: and but he didn't actually read the speech.
Speaker 5: It did.
Speaker 7: The actual speech that Martin Luther King had the dream
Speaker 7: speech did not contain the passage that started with I
Speaker 7: have a Dream, but he had lived.
Speaker 1: It and it's the you know, one of the great
Speaker 1: speeches of all time.
Speaker 6: So yeah, he just felt it kind of like anything
Speaker 6: as possible.
Speaker 1: My Daniel Jones monologue will not be anywhere else to.
Speaker 7: Any of these things, but you know, why not for
Speaker 7: five minutes on a podcast What the hell?
Speaker 1: Danny right?
Speaker 4: Walking out of the park?
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 7: I transformed myself kind of like Clark Kate. I was
Speaker 7: very similar to Clark Kent, where I was able to
Speaker 7: transform into a different human being if you.
Speaker 6: Will, Yeah, if you're one of our younger listeners, and
Speaker 6: you don't know who Clark Kent is. That is the
Speaker 6: guy in the suit who works for the what was
Speaker 6: it the Daily Bugle newspaper, Daily Planet or Daily Bugle? Oh,
Speaker 6: there you go, Daily Plant. Who worked at the Bugle.
Speaker 6: Maybe that's Spider Man, but at the Daily Planet, it
Speaker 6: was Clark Kent, and we loved it, even as kids
Speaker 6: were like, are you f and kiddy?
Speaker 3: Mean?
Speaker 6: Man, he just puts glasses on, and that's a disguise.
Speaker 6: Glasses are his disguise. Because he took his glasses off
Speaker 6: put this costume on with a cape, Suddenly nobody could
Speaker 6: tell anymore that it was Clark Kent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's it. Just a foam booth.
Speaker 6: And I'm glad you brought up phone booth because that's
Speaker 6: where this is going. So Los Angeles made a lot
Speaker 6: of news over the past couple of days because of
Speaker 6: the traffic situation surrounding the World Series, the Lakers at
Speaker 6: Crypto USC at the Coliseum, a couple of big high
Speaker 6: school games, and then a concert.
Speaker 4: We have so many venues here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: There is one at the Into It Dome, the Great
Speaker 1: Into It Dome.
Speaker 6: So this is the first concert in season with the Clippers. Yes,
Speaker 6: all the news people in Los Angeles were dancing with
Speaker 6: this news you know, doing the doing the centipede across
Speaker 6: the newsroom floor like, yeah, traffic, kel, this is.
Speaker 4: Going to be fun to report.
Speaker 6: Anytime there's any sort of disaster in LA, they're all
Speaker 6: over it with big smiles.
Speaker 7: Big smiles, and they get the helicopter up and it
Speaker 7: always goes viral. That video of the four oh five
Speaker 7: freeway where half, yes half of it's read that's that
Speaker 7: is every time there's every time we get that, which
Speaker 7: is pretty much every other week in LA, that thing
Speaker 7: goes viral.
Speaker 1: People love that. They get round round.
Speaker 4: Covino and Rich.
Speaker 6: As you know, I always say two to four on
Speaker 6: the West side, five to seven pm and beautiful fill
Speaker 6: in the blank, East Coast city and state. The show
Speaker 6: here in La ends at four pm. I always have
Speaker 6: a dilemma because I have at least sixty, if not
Speaker 6: ninety minutes of post production work to do. Do you
Speaker 6: think traffic is better at five pm on my way
Speaker 6: home or at six pm?
Speaker 1: I would say six, six pm, because.
Speaker 7: I think a lot of people depends on well, it
Speaker 7: depends on what day, because like Friday, you know, people
Speaker 7: leave early on Friday.
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't.
Speaker 4: See I'm with you.
Speaker 6: I always just assumed, you know, it's better if I
Speaker 6: just stay here in the production studio and wait it out.
Speaker 6: Because of the initial rush at five pm, but because
Speaker 6: there are so many money chasers and demanding bosses inside
Speaker 6: the city limits of Los Angeles, California, the traffic is
Speaker 6: actually better at five because people aren't all out on
Speaker 6: the road yet they're trying to get there. At six pm,
Speaker 6: they're all there. So lately, what I've been doing, man,
Speaker 6: I've been pulling this trick where I park the audio
Speaker 6: for the Covino and Rich podcast. I get in front
Speaker 6: of the traffic as much as I can, and at
Speaker 6: a halfway point home, I stop at a Starbucks, use
Speaker 6: their Wi Fi on my laptop, and then post the
Speaker 6: descriptions for that parked audio, kind of like splitting up
Speaker 6: my podcast duties so that I can beat the traffic.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's smart.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, there's only one problem with this. I've been
Speaker 6: doing this out of Starbucks in Calabasas, the famous home
Speaker 6: of the Kardashians Enslave.
Speaker 1: Is that what they call it enslave.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what'd you call it?
Speaker 1: The well, it's like they have their own kabul or whatever.
Speaker 1: I mean, they have their own I don't know what
Speaker 1: you'd call it the village.
Speaker 4: You say cabooths.
Speaker 1: I don't know. They have definitely that is the actually before.
Speaker 1: I don't want to get carried away.
Speaker 7: But I had this debate with my my wife, and
Speaker 7: you're you're perfect answer. So I we were talking about
Speaker 7: like women's you know, the reception of sexuality and what's
Speaker 7: what's hot or whatever? And in style is the booty, right,
Speaker 7: the big booty is the in style these days.
Speaker 1: And so my wife's like, well, that's Jlo. Jlo's the
Speaker 1: one that started. I said, no, Kim Kardashian. She started,
Speaker 1: So where do you fall in? You're going to continue
Speaker 1: to start.
Speaker 7: I just this popped in my head and I just
Speaker 7: want to get it out before I forget.
Speaker 1: So is it Jlo or is it Kim Kardashian? The
Speaker 1: modern obsession with the boutet in America.
Speaker 4: I think of the Kim Kardashian craze. When you say.
Speaker 1: That's what I told my she said though it was Jlo.
Speaker 1: I said, no, it was Kim Kardashian and that was it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean Jlo had a nice curse, but she
Speaker 6: was kind of known as being an athletic dancer and
Speaker 6: then obviously actress and then singer. But yeah, as far
Speaker 6: as girls wanting to get but implants and all that,
Speaker 6: that was because of Kim Kay.
Speaker 1: All right, so we agree, and I will. I will
Speaker 1: for my wife and I will laugh at her and
Speaker 1: say hi.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna say Ben that it's actually better than
Speaker 6: halfway because once I'm to that Calabasas Starbucks, I'm looking
Speaker 6: at like four exits to get home, so not bad.
Speaker 6: Once I make it to Calabasis, that's where the bumper
Speaker 6: to bumper traffic for me coming from Sherman Oaks ends.
Speaker 6: It's almost like I can breathe. I'm at the Starbucks,
Speaker 6: but I don't want to sit there like a mooch
Speaker 6: on their internet without purchasing something. And the problem with Starbucks,
Speaker 6: obviously everything is overpriced by a lot. So I'll just
Speaker 6: get a small coffee five dollars and sixty nine cents.
Speaker 1: This is shame, you know.
Speaker 6: I started doing the math and I'm like, well, damn
Speaker 6: if I'm going to spend this money on one little
Speaker 6: cup of coffee every day. That's not smart. Well, let
Speaker 6: me switch it up. There's a taco bell right across
Speaker 6: the street from the Starbucks, and I wasn't sure if
Speaker 6: they had internet or not. Let me give it a try,
Speaker 6: you know, and I'll just have a little snack. I'll
Speaker 6: get a classic bean and cheese burrito, a favorite.
Speaker 4: There.
Speaker 6: Bust out my laptop, hog a table, make it my
Speaker 6: little office. So get in there, set up everything. I'm
Speaker 6: ready to go. I order the bean and cheese burrito.
Speaker 6: Let me wash my hands. Try to walk over to
Speaker 6: the restroom, and there's a realatur and he looks like
Speaker 6: a mogul. He's on his phone, he's got all his
Speaker 6: notes and everything on the table.
Speaker 4: He's got a briefcase. He looks legit.
Speaker 6: He's kind of blocking the bathroom area where you walk in,
Speaker 6: and he's loud on his cellphone and he said, look,
Speaker 6: it's thirty two thousand, nine hundred and fifty four dollars down.
Speaker 6: That's it. I can't lower it. Thirty two thousand plus.
Speaker 6: That'll get you in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess got some money here.
Speaker 6: I didn't want to be nosy, but this guy's being loud.
Speaker 6: He looks at me and he kind of does a
Speaker 6: sidestep like no, no, no, I'm here at the bathroom first,
Speaker 6: even though he's busy on his phone call. He walks
Speaker 6: into the restroom and locks the door. Come on, dude,
Speaker 6: I just want to wash my hands before I eat
Speaker 6: Ben Like Clark Kent changing into a superhero. He comes out.
Speaker 6: He's no longer in his suit. Take a guess at
Speaker 6: what he's wearing. Well, it's halloween season, so.
Speaker 1: He could be wearing anything. He's not working there? Is
Speaker 1: he is? He working at the establishment?
Speaker 4: He came out in a Taco Bell staff uniform.
Speaker 7: No way, So the guy looked like he was a
Speaker 7: real estate mogul one minute and then.
Speaker 1: Is ready to make like nachos.
Speaker 6: Look, I'm not gonna hate on anybody's side hustles in
Speaker 6: southern California because we have to have a few of
Speaker 6: them here in order to afford the cost of living.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you, if you are a manager at
Speaker 1: a Taco Taco Bell or whatever, you can make six
Speaker 1: figures as a manager.
Speaker 4: That's a good point.
Speaker 6: And I mean maybe he was just trying to sell
Speaker 6: one or two more properties before he told taco bell
Speaker 6: to suck it. Wow, that's wild. Never seen anything like
Speaker 6: that before.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 6: Here, I'm thinking this guy must be in there dropping
Speaker 6: a deuce or something, and instead he comes out with
Speaker 6: his suit all folded up. He had his Taco Bell
Speaker 6: name tag on. And then I felt weird because he
Speaker 6: was overseeing the production of my bean and cheese burrito.
Speaker 6: When I walked up to grab it, he looked at me,
Speaker 6: and it was kind of awkward because he knew I
