Yeah, 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.959 that's sixty dollars for daycare. It's pretty an hour is 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:47.640 pretty pretty extreme. 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:47.920 Man. 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.160 Eighty dollars in parking, you have me beat. 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:53.960 Oh yeah, that was ridiculous. Eighty dollars. Even when I 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.640 went to pay for the parking for the show, the 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:58.760 guys like, you know, it's thirty bucks for the show. 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:00.560 And the show's like at night. All these shows are 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:04.040 ninety minutes. So we could do some math on that. 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:05.960 Hold on a second, let me do some malor math 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:09.560 on that. So I said, the complaining is over. Oh 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:11.880 that's true. I guess I can't. Yeah, I can't. 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:13.840 That would be that would be wrong. 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:16.720 Yeah, that was a lot. That was a lot per 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:20.600 minute I was paying anyway. First best message from Reggie 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:24.080 from Detroit. He writes in He says, Hey, Ben and Danny, 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:25.760 I heard you the other night. Ben, you did one 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.240 topic radio you don't normally do that. You talked about 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.720 Michael Parsons pretty much the whole show. How did you 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:35.280 handle the repetition? Says Reggie, it was fine, Reggie. There 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:39.760 was a a lot to break apart. And I mentioned 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.160 this on the show Nanny. We get into talk radio, 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.239 there's a thing called the topic tree. I don't know 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:47.360 if they still teach the topic tree anymore, but I 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.520 learned the topic tree when I was a kid. And 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:51.880 you have branches of the tree, and you start out 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.400 with the main topic. And there were a lot of 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:56.760 branches to the Micah Parsons tree. There was a lot 0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:00.560 to it. So to answer your question, Reggie, I did 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:02.799 not really have that big a problem with it. It 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:06.320 was a good story. And there's a lot of times 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.840 I'll go into the radio studio and there's not a 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.440 really good story, and so we had a good story 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.480 to talk about. It was nice and juicy, and that 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:18.440 was good. And so I would prefer not to do 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:20.919 those kind of shows. I like talking about something different, 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.440 catches my attention, it keeps the show flowing. I think 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.680 there's a better flow to it when you change topics 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:29.440 every hour and not just do the same thing. But 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:35.560 it was yeah, it was all right. Al from Sin City, 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.440 says Ben and Danny. Hey, Ben, after your latest voyage 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.760 to Vegas, do you see yourself going full JT the 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:45.360 brick mode and just staying there to do a residency 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:50.160 with shadow band ballplayer, a shadow band ballplayer. I can 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:55.040 see it now. On the Marquis Benny and the Bauer says, 0:03:55.040 --> 0:04:00.360 alf Yes, I think I'm in La through marriage. If 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.520 I was, and my wife doesn't want to really live 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.720 anywhere other than La, So I don't think I'll be 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.240 leaving anytime soon. I have thought about it. Although Vegas 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:12.440 is pretty big now, it's pretty massive. It's pretty pretty massive, 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:16.960 so it's still much cheaper than La. I could see 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.720 myself living in Vegas. Although it was one hundred and 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:21.680 we did the Malor meet greet last week. It was 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:23.320 one hundred and twelve degrees. We came out of the 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.640 meat were at like six o'clock. It was one hundred 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:26.960 degrees at one in the morning. 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.360 No, no, you need if you live there, you need 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:33.720 a swimming pool. Oh there's no question you have to Yeah, 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.520 no question. You have to have a pool, which you. 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.880 Have to have. Danny is a massive air conditioner the 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:44.560 size of the dome where the Raiders play. Just a 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.159 huge air conditioners which you have to have. It's so 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:52.559 fricking Just stay inside. That's it my god, Scott's writes 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.000 in on the mail back Fifth Hour. By the way, 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:55.800 if you want to send a message in you can 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:59.400 send it care of real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:03.640 That's real our at gmail dot com. Scott says, Hey, 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:05.840 if you could hold a Mallard meet and greet at 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:10.560 any location in the world, what would you choose? He 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:15.240 says examples. I thought of the White House, a casino, sportsbook, 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:21.839 a nunnery, and iHeart CEO's personal residents. What's the dream 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:26.400 setting and why? Says Scott. It would be fun to 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.320 go to a ballpark like Finway or Wrigley Field and 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.279 have a Mallard meet and greet and now while there's 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.520 a game going on, but just be able to play 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.159 a game. We could have We could have teams of 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.039 Mallard like people that show up with these meet and 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.600 greets and they could play in a game on Finway, 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.760 parks Field or Dodger Stadium or Wrigley Field or somewhere 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:45.840 like That would be pretty cool. 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:47.840 That would be cool. That would yeah, that would be 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:48.440 a lot of fun. 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.279 Or we could just go to Klay Travis's house. That 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.119 would be fun too. You know why, I'm sure that'll 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.960 solve it. Uh, let's see what is my Steve Wrightson 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.080 says in de Haas, Oh, this is a place that 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:03.480 one of our listeners match I think it was Matt 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.279 Jack wants us to do a mal of meat read. He says, Hey, guys, 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:10.160 I love the show, never miss it via the podcast. 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:16.320 And now I live in work Nights, lived in work 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:20.479 nights for so col Gas. He's retired. Now I'm local 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.120 and we avoid this place. He says. He avoids in 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:28.760 DA has considered a dive and can be dangerous. Steve says, 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:32.719 just ask the San Dimas Sheriff's department. He says, the 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:37.280 food's not good, the service is not good. Wow, can 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.600 you speak to some other locations might be okay during 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:42.920 the daytime. I suggest you send in a point man 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.680 to check it out. Well, Steve, I actually used to 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.560 live out in your area in SoCal and I've been 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:53.240 to Zendejas and it was okay. You gotta understand, though, 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:55.600 and you've been to these meet and greets standing you 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.599 can speak for this. We't Our crowd is a pretty 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.520 tough crowd, like somewhere. Say that when we show up 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:03.920 the sheriff department has to show up, you know what 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.720 I'm saying. So I don't think we're worried about that. 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.240 And I think the food was okay. The service was 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:12.240 not great. When I was out there, the food was 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:15.920 all right. I don't have a I have only been 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.280 to Zenday House once and it was fine. It was good. 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:21.520 We do these things during the day anyway, Steve, so 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:23.320 it'd be like in the afternoon, it'll be fine. 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:25.280 I don't think it'd be a problem with it. 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.360 It's been out there for a million years. It can't 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:31.040 be that bad. It's been around for thirty five years. 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:31.360 Probably. 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.760 I would say something like that, it's been a long time. 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.880 Let's see Kwang from Vietnam Rights and says, hey, big 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.440 Ben and Danny G.

It's a giant it's shaped 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:56.320 like the Colts logo. 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.120 Okay, I have seen this on social media. 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.520 Yeah, yeah, so you want to of course it's a pretzel. 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.480 I would eat it. Why would you not eat it? 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:08.239 It's a pretzel. Pretzels are delicious, They're wonderful. The middle 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.000 part of the pretzel. I guess there's really no middle 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:11.240 part of the pretzel though, right, it's. 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.840 A horseshoe by the way. How good is that pretzel 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:14.640 at Finney's? 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:18.720 Oh? That is really good? Yeah, Danny, you had recommended 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.840 that place on this podcast, and I was in Santa 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:23.640 Barbara a couple of weeks ago with the wife and 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:25.760 I was like, hey, we gotta go. She's always looking 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:29.960 for places. He was place Fennis or fenni'es whatever, really good. 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.480 That was probably my favorite restaurant in Santa Barbara. 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:32.800 Yeah. 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:34.880 It's my food, you know, it's my kind of food. 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:35.679 You're kind of food, right. 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.800 Oh man, it's this big, piping hot pretzel that they 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:45.120 bring out with three fancy dips, caramel like a sweet 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:50.200 honey mustard, and melted cheddar. It is amazing. It is 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.880 by far the fanciest best pretzel I've ever had in 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:54.319 my life. Yeah, and I. 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.520 Learned something about myself that I did not know when 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.520 I was eating that pretzel. I did something that I 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.480 didn't think I would do. I didn't think I enjoy, 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.760 and I did that. Carmel was amazing that pretzel. Carmel 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.280 tell me, oh, man, that's a home run in your 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:09.720 mouth right there? Man? Was that kid? 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:10.840 That's a drop. 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.920 That's a home run in your mouth right there? All right, 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:20.000 all right? Marcus in San Antonio writes and says, Dear 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.680 Big Band and Danny G. One of my favorite things 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.120 about the Weekend podcast is listen to you guys talk 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:28.760 about things you did growing up as kids, through the 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.440 bachelor years, and into marriage. I'm not sure if my 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.240 favorite stories are about Danny G and his brother raising 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:38.360 heck or Danny G sharing his wife's massage experiences. I 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.840 hear your stories and I think about things I used 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:44.000 to enjoy as a kid, like jumping on a pogo stick, 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.720 riding a bike, or even playing corn hole in the backyard. 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:53.000 We've all seen the extreme sports that took those things 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.520 we did for fun into new heights, and some are 0:09:56.559 --> 0:10:00.560 now borderline life threatening. He says. Then I saw a 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:04.559 clip of an Asian kid winning his eighth Yo yo 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:10.800 championship racist and wondered, what is the next kid's toy 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:11.520 or game? 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:14.680 Why does it matter that he's Asian? Racist? 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.840 Well, I'm just reading the email. He even said the 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.040 guy's name here, but I didn't say that. I don't 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:25.000 know who this person is. Just what's the next toy? 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.360 He says. I always thank you for keeping me entertainment. 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.800 I'm getting my weekend choice done. I never miss a podcast. 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.720 God bless you Marcus in San Antonio, who sent a 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.880 link to the yo Yo kid here, that yo Yo kid. 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.760 So the way I'm determined this Marcus is, first of all, 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:44.880 whatever's popular right now, whatever's kind of cool for young 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:48.880 people right now, in twenty years on twenty forty five, 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:55.760 will be monetized, marketed, and repackaged as nostalgia. That's my theory. 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:59.480 Anything that's twenty years old or so, and maybe even 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.640 more than that. What do you think they twenty thirty years? 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.920 You gotta think when kids are like ten, So maybe 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:07.000 thirty years is better. 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:08.760 Well, i'd say twenty five. 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.679 Okay, so twenty five years. So if someone's popular when 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:15.160 you're ten years old, you gotta wait till the person's 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:17.200 thirty five, because then they'll have a job, they'll have 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.120 a family, most likely we'll have a career, they'll have 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.320 money to spend to buy the product or support the product. 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:26.360 So yeah, that's it. That's the key. I've figured it 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:28.160 all out. I don't need to go to some marketing 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.000 webinar or anything like that. It's just whatever is popular now. 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:35.280 Twenty five years from now will they'll have a renaissance 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:38.280 and all those people that are around thirty five or 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.160 forty so oh, I remember that. It was so cool, 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:45.400 It was awesome, amazing. That's a home run in your 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.640 mouth right there. One of the things that I got 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:50.319 a kick out of this week, and I was gonna 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:54.320 do a monologue about this on back on Thursday, but 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:57.400 then the Parsons trade happened and we had to we 0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:59.160 had to put that to bed. We couldn't, you know, 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:03.760 we're pretty much talk to Parsons. The team called the 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.240 Savannah Bananas. There was a story this week that the 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.640 people at Major League Baseball want to partner with the 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:13.520 Savannah Bananas, which, like, I look at that team. That's 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:16.800 that's the kind of gimmicky team twenty five years from now, 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.120 if there's if they're not around twenty five years from now, 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:23.880 they'll pull out the guy and the gold tuxedo. You know, 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:26.960 that guy that wears the yellow tuxedo and yeah, and 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:30.000 they'll have like a nostalgia thing with the Savannah bananas 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:33.040 and bring them back and and and all that. But 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:35.880 that's like, that's kind of a fatty thing. Gotta be careful. 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.160 I say that that's that's going on right now and 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.880 will be popular. I don't know the other like what 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:46.560 other stuff is really popular with kids that would be 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:50.000 popular twenty five years from now. I'm in I'm in 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.880 my lane, stay in your lane. So I'm not sure. 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.920 Really young kids or teenagers like I'm talking about like 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.560 you obviously have a very young yeah. By the talk 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:03.000 about like yea kids ten eleven, twelve, you know, it's 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:04.559 mostly video game stuff. 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.400 And also fashions. I would say, like they're all wearing 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:11.079 those stupid burking stocks right now, and they love the shoes, 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:13.640 the white nikes, and then they get them all dirty 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:16.760 and messed up looking on purpose, which is very interesting 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.880 because when we were kids, we had those sneaker cleaning kits. 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:22.760 We were so psycho about our shoes, our tennis shoes 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.960 being clean that we had little kits to clean our shoes. 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.720 Teenagers I have now they get their shoes dirty on purpose. 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.240 Nice. Yeah, I remember we have white shoes, and I say, 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.199 we never wear them, only wear them once in a while, 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:36.320 don't wear them outside. 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.520 You know, So our fourteen year old in twenty five years, 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:42.880 there's gonna be a radio show that says, remember when 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:46.720 it was popular to wear Birkenstocks sandals to school, And 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:48.680 she's gonna be like, oh my god, I begged my 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:51.000 mom and stepdad to have a pair of those. And 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:54.200 they'll talk about white nikes and getting them dirty on purpose, 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:58.080 and it's dumb, it makes no sense. But you know, hey, 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:00.600 I guess every generation the pair and say the same 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:01.200 exact thing. 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:03.960 Let's let's let's have a party and pretend like we're 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.199 going to school. All right, everyone wear your pajama bottoms 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.760 because that's how you go to school, pajama bottoms and 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:12.960 in the birkinstock. Yeah, all right, Ferg Dog Right, send 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:16.120 from Fullerton to mail bag and CROs if you want 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:19.240 to send a message in Real fifth Hour at gmail 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:21.560 dot com. Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Ferg 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:25.320 Dog in Fullerton, the winter Wonderland of Fullerton. I know 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:28.080 Ferg's excited that we're going to get that new crop 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:31.040 of tire Iraq commercials. Right winter has arrived, or Winter's 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:34.440 Coming or anyway. Uh. Fergduck says, Hey, Ben and Danny 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:38.880 g to maintain P one status in the mal or militia, 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:42.480 is it now required to watch all your YouTube videos 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:46.360 in addition to listening to the live show, the podcast 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:49.240 of the live show, and the Fifth Hour podcast. I'm 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:51.960 willing to do it. Ferg Dog says, just give me 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.040 the word. Yeah, I'm giving you the green light on 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.880 that for Duck. Now, you don't necessarily have to watch 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.360 all the YouTube videos, but what you do have to 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:03.920 do you have to click the play button and then 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.480 just set it and forget it. Like Ron Polpiel, who 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.680 was going to go on this podcast, was booked on 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:12.800 this podcast and then decided the very last minute he 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:14.720 didn't want to go on this podcast because he wanted 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.400 to play with his grandkids. And then he's now he's dead. 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.840 But good decision by him anyway. Yeah, you got to 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.600 consume all that. Also, Fergdog says, I'm loving all the 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.600 video game content on the show lately, whether it's your 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:30.480 Sonic the Hedgehog lectures, or some guy calling in while 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:36.000 playing Castlevania two. Simon's quest. I hope he calls back 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:41.800 after he beats it, says Fergdum. Yeah, I've realized I've 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.240 known this for a while now that the number of people, 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:49.520 the number of dudes that stay up till three four 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.320 in the morning playing video games and then have our 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:55.920 show on in the background is next level. There's a 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.920 lot of people that just love to play the video 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:04.280 games and they get their radio fix and the video 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:07.280 game thing at the same time. Next up is Joe 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:11.800 from New New York, but not New York City. He says, guys, 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:16.400 Taco Bell said this week they're reconsidering their drive through 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:20.320 with AI, and what do you think about that? He 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:24.360 said that the reason they're thinking about changing this up 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:27.000 is because there have been some viral pranks. I guess 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:30.560 on TikTok people have been pranking the AI drive through, 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:35.000 and there was one prank, Joe says, involving a thousand 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:40.080 or thousands of cups of water. I did not see that. 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.760 Did you see a Taco Bell prank with thousands of 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:43.520 cups of water? 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:44.440 Didn't see that? 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:47.040 I must have been How did I miss that? How 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.600 would I How would I miss it? I don't know. 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:54.600 But it's been close to five years since the surprise, 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:56.520 you know, the metaverse was going to be here, and 0:16:56.560 --> 0:17:01.800 all this stuff the next big thing, and artificial intelligence 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:06.280 is around and Taco Bell reevaluating its use of AI 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:10.400 in drive throughs a a very rocky rollout. I've been 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.679 getting a lot of trolling because of it. There's some 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:17.240 viral videos. According to Wall Street Journal, there are currently 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:22.680 more than five hundred locations where customers can place their 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:31.240 order via virtual assistant. However, apparently there are there are 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:33.880 some issues. For example, here's I found the story here. 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:39.080 It said some people doing pranks and taking advantage of 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:45.040 the AI. One person unsuccessfully attempted to get the AI 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:47.639 to ring up an order for eighteen thousand cups of 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:53.159 water before an actual employee had to step in. Okay, 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.280 well that would have been Why not just a five 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.359 hundred would have been funny too. Five hundred would have 0:17:58.359 --> 0:17:58.800 been good. 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.600 While we're on some food, be fun here. Did you 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:03.120 see what McDonald's is doing? 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:04.080 No? 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:07.200 This what they got. This is from CNN a few 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:11.440 days ago. The inflation crisis that followed the pandemic altered 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:14.840 many customers' views of McDonald's from a cheap place to 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:17.560 get a quick meal to a pricey fast food restaurant 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:21.280 that barely undercut a higher quality sit down restaurant like 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:24.680 Applebee's or Chili's, with the latter thriving over the past 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:28.240 few years, McDonald's is now cutting prices of its combo 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:31.399 meals to convince customers that it's affordable again. 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:35.600 Oh, that'll do it. Yeah, that's it. Well, they knock 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:39.320 a dollar off. Remember McDonald's, all these fast food places, 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:44.639 we haven't done foodie fun recently. We learned that on 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:47.399 that you can still get cheap fast food, but you 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:48.840 have to do it on the app. And most people, 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:50.800 I guess are not doing the app. They're not downloading 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:54.000 the McDonald's app or the Burger King app. 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:56.879 It's a very good point. In fact, Brenda just downloaded 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:59.600 the McDonald's app for the first time to get some 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:02.920 breakfast from there, and she is amazed at the app. 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.359 And I told her about the stupid app two years ago. 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:10.120 Yeah, sometimes it takes a while delayed reaction. You planted 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:12.720 the seed, Danny. It was a de laateed reaction speaking 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:16.120 of well, this is serendipitous, Danny. You mentioned the McDonald's 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:20.720 and we talked about food. Well, Paul from Orlando, he 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:25.080 says he listens every single morning. He can't sleep because 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:28.840 he's old. Well, I guess that's our future, Danny. Anyway, 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:31.879 Paul says, do you see this story, guys, worst fast 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:35.639 food item in America? The top ten worst fast food 0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:38.880 items in America. I know Terry in England loves a list. 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:42.240 This is not my list, so it doesn't count. I 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:45.480 don't do lists. It's just this is a story that 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:49.719 Paul from Orlando Terry. If you're upset, contact Paul. He 0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:54.080 says he's old and he can't sleep because his body hurts, 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:59.240 so contact him. So this is a study done. And 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:01.200 how much fast food do you eat? Danny? I don't 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:04.240 eat much fast food. I'll occasionally eat raising canes. That's 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:08.240 my little dirty secret. Sometimes I'll go to Chick fil 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:10.760 A with the wife or something, but very rarely. 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:14.399 Yeah, I would say once a week, if not every 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:15.040 other week. 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:20.840 Okay, So how are you going? Can you name? How about? 0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:24.920 I'll give you five guesses, and how many of those 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:28.200 five are in the top ten worst rated fast foods 0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:31.439 in the nation. These are items fast food items that 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:32.399 are rated the worst. 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:35.040 Oh, this is specific to the fast food Joint. 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:41.000 Yes, American fast food who scored the lowest. What food 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:45.000 particular items like? You could say a taco from Taco Bell, gotcha? 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:49.760 Gotcha? Okay, I'm going to say a burger from Burger King. 0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:56.200 Burger from Burger King. Not there strike on on the top. 0:20:56.720 --> 0:20:58.320 That might be because people stopped eating. 0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:00.119 At Burger King. What's next? 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:00.600 Number two? 0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:03.840 I mean, I wish I knew more about fast food 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:06.880 is probably good. I don't know that much about fast food. 0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:09.720 I'm like you, more like you. We go to Chick 0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:14.240 fil A, Panda Express, Rotate, and sometimes Taco Bell is 0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:15.640 a treat maybe once a month. 0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:20.040 Well again, I don't do this. I'll give you the 0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:20.480 big board. 0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:21.640
