Speaker 1: Kabbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere, The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Speaker 1: Maler and Danny g Radio and a happy Sunday to you,
Speaker 1: the final Sunday before the Ash Football League takes over.
Speaker 1: And also, oh, by the way, the final day of
Speaker 1: the month of August. We will bid a do it say?
Speaker 1: I'm told it's a holiday weekend this weekend? Is that correct, Danny?
Speaker 1: I know it's for some people's holiday. And when you
Speaker 1: were working, radio store never closes. The store is always open.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's not a holiday for us. We're working, Yeah,
Speaker 3: we were working.
Speaker 1: So but if you are celebrating the holiday weekend, I
Speaker 1: have a wonderful, glorious time and all that. But here
Speaker 1: we are hating out final day of August and we've
Speaker 1: got Ohio al ready to go, and that means it's
Speaker 1: the mail bag. It's this mail.
Speaker 3: Bag, today's mail bag, complaint free.
Speaker 1: We took care of all of our complaints yesterday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's sixty dollars for daycare. It's pretty an hour is
Speaker 1: pretty pretty extreme.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: Eighty dollars in parking, you have me beat.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that was ridiculous. Eighty dollars. Even when I
Speaker 1: went to pay for the parking for the show, the
Speaker 1: guys like, you know, it's thirty bucks for the show.
Speaker 1: And the show's like at night. All these shows are
Speaker 1: ninety minutes. So we could do some math on that.
Speaker 1: Hold on a second, let me do some malor math
Speaker 1: on that. So I said, the complaining is over. Oh
Speaker 1: that's true. I guess I can't. Yeah, I can't.
Speaker 3: That would be that would be wrong.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a lot. That was a lot per
Speaker 1: minute I was paying anyway. First best message from Reggie
Speaker 1: from Detroit. He writes in He says, Hey, Ben and Danny,
Speaker 1: I heard you the other night. Ben, you did one
Speaker 1: topic radio you don't normally do that. You talked about
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons pretty much the whole show. How did you
Speaker 1: handle the repetition? Says Reggie, it was fine, Reggie. There
Speaker 1: was a a lot to break apart. And I mentioned
Speaker 1: this on the show Nanny. We get into talk radio,
Speaker 1: there's a thing called the topic tree. I don't know
Speaker 1: if they still teach the topic tree anymore, but I
Speaker 1: learned the topic tree when I was a kid. And
Speaker 1: you have branches of the tree, and you start out
Speaker 1: with the main topic. And there were a lot of
Speaker 1: branches to the Micah Parsons tree. There was a lot
Speaker 1: to it. So to answer your question, Reggie, I did
Speaker 1: not really have that big a problem with it. It
Speaker 1: was a good story. And there's a lot of times
Speaker 1: I'll go into the radio studio and there's not a
Speaker 1: really good story, and so we had a good story
Speaker 1: to talk about. It was nice and juicy, and that
Speaker 1: was good. And so I would prefer not to do
Speaker 1: those kind of shows. I like talking about something different,
Speaker 1: catches my attention, it keeps the show flowing. I think
Speaker 1: there's a better flow to it when you change topics
Speaker 1: every hour and not just do the same thing. But
Speaker 1: it was yeah, it was all right. Al from Sin City,
Speaker 1: says Ben and Danny. Hey, Ben, after your latest voyage
Speaker 1: to Vegas, do you see yourself going full JT the
Speaker 1: brick mode and just staying there to do a residency
Speaker 1: with shadow band ballplayer, a shadow band ballplayer. I can
Speaker 1: see it now. On the Marquis Benny and the Bauer says,
Speaker 1: alf Yes, I think I'm in La through marriage. If
Speaker 1: I was, and my wife doesn't want to really live
Speaker 1: anywhere other than La, So I don't think I'll be
Speaker 1: leaving anytime soon. I have thought about it. Although Vegas
Speaker 1: is pretty big now, it's pretty massive. It's pretty pretty massive,
Speaker 1: so it's still much cheaper than La. I could see
Speaker 1: myself living in Vegas. Although it was one hundred and
Speaker 1: we did the Malor meet greet last week. It was
Speaker 1: one hundred and twelve degrees. We came out of the
Speaker 1: meat were at like six o'clock. It was one hundred
Speaker 1: degrees at one in the morning.
Speaker 3: No, no, you need if you live there, you need
Speaker 3: a swimming pool. Oh there's no question you have to Yeah,
Speaker 3: no question. You have to have a pool, which you.
Speaker 1: Have to have. Danny is a massive air conditioner the
Speaker 1: size of the dome where the Raiders play. Just a
Speaker 1: huge air conditioners which you have to have. It's so
Speaker 1: fricking Just stay inside. That's it my god, Scott's writes
Speaker 1: in on the mail back Fifth Hour. By the way,
Speaker 1: if you want to send a message in you can
Speaker 1: send it care of real fifth Hour at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1: That's real our at gmail dot com. Scott says, Hey,
Speaker 1: if you could hold a Mallard meet and greet at
Speaker 1: any location in the world, what would you choose? He
Speaker 1: says examples. I thought of the White House, a casino, sportsbook,
Speaker 1: a nunnery, and iHeart CEO's personal residents. What's the dream
Speaker 1: setting and why? Says Scott. It would be fun to
Speaker 1: go to a ballpark like Finway or Wrigley Field and
Speaker 1: have a Mallard meet and greet and now while there's
Speaker 1: a game going on, but just be able to play
Speaker 1: a game. We could have We could have teams of
Speaker 1: Mallard like people that show up with these meet and
Speaker 1: greets and they could play in a game on Finway,
Speaker 1: parks Field or Dodger Stadium or Wrigley Field or somewhere
Speaker 1: like That would be pretty cool.
Speaker 3: That would be cool. That would yeah, that would be
Speaker 3: a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: Or we could just go to Klay Travis's house. That
Speaker 1: would be fun too. You know why, I'm sure that'll
Speaker 1: solve it. Uh, let's see what is my Steve Wrightson
Speaker 1: says in de Haas, Oh, this is a place that
Speaker 1: one of our listeners match I think it was Matt
Speaker 1: Jack wants us to do a mal of meat read. He says, Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: I love the show, never miss it via the podcast.
Speaker 1: And now I live in work Nights, lived in work
Speaker 1: nights for so col Gas. He's retired. Now I'm local
Speaker 1: and we avoid this place. He says. He avoids in
Speaker 1: DA has considered a dive and can be dangerous. Steve says,
Speaker 1: just ask the San Dimas Sheriff's department. He says, the
Speaker 1: food's not good, the service is not good. Wow, can
Speaker 1: you speak to some other locations might be okay during
Speaker 1: the daytime. I suggest you send in a point man
Speaker 1: to check it out. Well, Steve, I actually used to
Speaker 1: live out in your area in SoCal and I've been
Speaker 1: to Zendejas and it was okay. You gotta understand, though,
Speaker 1: and you've been to these meet and greets standing you
Speaker 1: can speak for this. We't Our crowd is a pretty
Speaker 1: tough crowd, like somewhere. Say that when we show up
Speaker 1: the sheriff department has to show up, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I don't think we're worried about that.
Speaker 1: And I think the food was okay. The service was
Speaker 1: not great. When I was out there, the food was
Speaker 1: all right. I don't have a I have only been
Speaker 1: to Zenday House once and it was fine. It was good.
Speaker 1: We do these things during the day anyway, Steve, so
Speaker 1: it'd be like in the afternoon, it'll be fine.
Speaker 3: I don't think it'd be a problem with it.
Speaker 1: It's been out there for a million years. It can't
Speaker 1: be that bad. It's been around for thirty five years.
Speaker 3: Probably.
Speaker 1: I would say something like that, it's been a long time.
Speaker 1: Let's see Kwang from Vietnam Rights and says, hey, big
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny G. Would either of you guys eat
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts poop pretzel?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 1: Well? Yeah, well, it looks like it looks like a turd.
Speaker 1: Have you seen this? Just google it, Danny. The Indianapolis
Speaker 1: Colts pretzel for this year. It's a giant it's shaped
Speaker 1: like the Colts logo.
Speaker 3: Okay, I have seen this on social media.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so you want to of course it's a pretzel.
Speaker 1: I would eat it. Why would you not eat it?
Speaker 1: It's a pretzel. Pretzels are delicious, They're wonderful. The middle
Speaker 1: part of the pretzel. I guess there's really no middle
Speaker 1: part of the pretzel though, right, it's.
Speaker 3: A horseshoe by the way. How good is that pretzel
Speaker 3: at Finney's?
Speaker 1: Oh? That is really good? Yeah, Danny, you had recommended
Speaker 1: that place on this podcast, and I was in Santa
Speaker 1: Barbara a couple of weeks ago with the wife and
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, we gotta go. She's always looking
Speaker 1: for places. He was place Fennis or fenni'es whatever, really good.
Speaker 1: That was probably my favorite restaurant in Santa Barbara.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's my food, you know, it's my kind of food.
Speaker 1: You're kind of food, right.
Speaker 3: Oh man, it's this big, piping hot pretzel that they
Speaker 3: bring out with three fancy dips, caramel like a sweet
Speaker 3: honey mustard, and melted cheddar. It is amazing. It is
Speaker 3: by far the fanciest best pretzel I've ever had in
Speaker 3: my life. Yeah, and I.
Speaker 1: Learned something about myself that I did not know when
Speaker 1: I was eating that pretzel. I did something that I
Speaker 1: didn't think I would do. I didn't think I enjoy,
Speaker 1: and I did that. Carmel was amazing that pretzel. Carmel
Speaker 1: tell me, oh, man, that's a home run in your
Speaker 1: mouth right there? Man? Was that kid?
Speaker 3: That's a drop.
Speaker 1: That's a home run in your mouth right there? All right,
Speaker 1: all right? Marcus in San Antonio writes and says, Dear
Speaker 1: Big Band and Danny G. One of my favorite things
Speaker 1: about the Weekend podcast is listen to you guys talk
Speaker 1: about things you did growing up as kids, through the
Speaker 1: bachelor years, and into marriage. I'm not sure if my
Speaker 1: favorite stories are about Danny G and his brother raising
Speaker 1: heck or Danny G sharing his wife's massage experiences. I
Speaker 1: hear your stories and I think about things I used
Speaker 1: to enjoy as a kid, like jumping on a pogo stick,
Speaker 1: riding a bike, or even playing corn hole in the backyard.
Speaker 1: We've all seen the extreme sports that took those things
Speaker 1: we did for fun into new heights, and some are
Speaker 1: now borderline life threatening. He says. Then I saw a
Speaker 1: clip of an Asian kid winning his eighth Yo yo
Speaker 1: championship racist and wondered, what is the next kid's toy
Speaker 1: or game?
Speaker 3: Why does it matter that he's Asian? Racist?
Speaker 1: Well, I'm just reading the email. He even said the
Speaker 1: guy's name here, but I didn't say that. I don't
Speaker 1: know who this person is. Just what's the next toy?
Speaker 1: He says. I always thank you for keeping me entertainment.
Speaker 1: I'm getting my weekend choice done. I never miss a podcast.
Speaker 1: God bless you Marcus in San Antonio, who sent a
Speaker 1: link to the yo Yo kid here, that yo Yo kid.
Speaker 1: So the way I'm determined this Marcus is, first of all,
Speaker 1: whatever's popular right now, whatever's kind of cool for young
Speaker 1: people right now, in twenty years on twenty forty five,
Speaker 1: will be monetized, marketed, and repackaged as nostalgia. That's my theory.
Speaker 1: Anything that's twenty years old or so, and maybe even
Speaker 1: more than that. What do you think they twenty thirty years?
Speaker 1: You gotta think when kids are like ten, So maybe
Speaker 1: thirty years is better.
Speaker 3: Well, i'd say twenty five.
Speaker 1: Okay, so twenty five years. So if someone's popular when
Speaker 1: you're ten years old, you gotta wait till the person's
Speaker 1: thirty five, because then they'll have a job, they'll have
Speaker 1: a family, most likely we'll have a career, they'll have
Speaker 1: money to spend to buy the product or support the product.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's it. That's the key. I've figured it
Speaker 1: all out. I don't need to go to some marketing
Speaker 1: webinar or anything like that. It's just whatever is popular now.
Speaker 1: Twenty five years from now will they'll have a renaissance
Speaker 1: and all those people that are around thirty five or
Speaker 1: forty so oh, I remember that. It was so cool,
Speaker 1: It was awesome, amazing. That's a home run in your
Speaker 1: mouth right there. One of the things that I got
Speaker 1: a kick out of this week, and I was gonna
Speaker 1: do a monologue about this on back on Thursday, but
Speaker 1: then the Parsons trade happened and we had to we
Speaker 1: had to put that to bed. We couldn't, you know,
Speaker 1: we're pretty much talk to Parsons. The team called the
Speaker 1: Savannah Bananas. There was a story this week that the
Speaker 1: people at Major League Baseball want to partner with the
Speaker 1: Savannah Bananas, which, like, I look at that team. That's
Speaker 1: that's the kind of gimmicky team twenty five years from now,
Speaker 1: if there's if they're not around twenty five years from now,
Speaker 1: they'll pull out the guy and the gold tuxedo. You know,
Speaker 1: that guy that wears the yellow tuxedo and yeah, and
Speaker 1: they'll have like a nostalgia thing with the Savannah bananas
Speaker 1: and bring them back and and and all that. But
Speaker 1: that's like, that's kind of a fatty thing. Gotta be careful.
Speaker 1: I say that that's that's going on right now and
Speaker 1: will be popular. I don't know the other like what
Speaker 1: other stuff is really popular with kids that would be
Speaker 1: popular twenty five years from now. I'm in I'm in
Speaker 1: my lane, stay in your lane. So I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: Really young kids or teenagers like I'm talking about like
Speaker 1: you obviously have a very young yeah. By the talk
Speaker 1: about like yea kids ten eleven, twelve, you know, it's
Speaker 1: mostly video game stuff.
Speaker 3: And also fashions. I would say, like they're all wearing
Speaker 3: those stupid burking stocks right now, and they love the shoes,
Speaker 3: the white nikes, and then they get them all dirty
Speaker 3: and messed up looking on purpose, which is very interesting
Speaker 3: because when we were kids, we had those sneaker cleaning kits.
Speaker 3: We were so psycho about our shoes, our tennis shoes
Speaker 3: being clean that we had little kits to clean our shoes.
Speaker 3: Teenagers I have now they get their shoes dirty on purpose.
Speaker 1: Nice. Yeah, I remember we have white shoes, and I say,
Speaker 1: we never wear them, only wear them once in a while,
Speaker 1: don't wear them outside.
Speaker 3: You know, So our fourteen year old in twenty five years,
Speaker 3: there's gonna be a radio show that says, remember when
Speaker 3: it was popular to wear Birkenstocks sandals to school, And
Speaker 3: she's gonna be like, oh my god, I begged my
Speaker 3: mom and stepdad to have a pair of those. And
Speaker 3: they'll talk about white nikes and getting them dirty on purpose,
Speaker 3: and it's dumb, it makes no sense. But you know, hey,
Speaker 3: I guess every generation the pair and say the same
Speaker 3: exact thing.
Speaker 1: Let's let's let's have a party and pretend like we're
Speaker 1: going to school. All right, everyone wear your pajama bottoms
Speaker 1: because that's how you go to school, pajama bottoms and
Speaker 1: in the birkinstock. Yeah, all right, Ferg Dog Right, send
Speaker 1: from Fullerton to mail bag and CROs if you want
Speaker 1: to send a message in Real fifth Hour at gmail
Speaker 1: dot com. Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Ferg
Speaker 1: Dog in Fullerton, the winter Wonderland of Fullerton. I know
Speaker 1: Ferg's excited that we're going to get that new crop
Speaker 1: of tire Iraq commercials. Right winter has arrived, or Winter's
Speaker 1: Coming or anyway. Uh. Fergduck says, Hey, Ben and Danny
Speaker 1: g to maintain P one status in the mal or militia,
Speaker 1: is it now required to watch all your YouTube videos
Speaker 1: in addition to listening to the live show, the podcast
Speaker 1: of the live show, and the Fifth Hour podcast. I'm
Speaker 1: willing to do it. Ferg Dog says, just give me
Speaker 1: the word. Yeah, I'm giving you the green light on
Speaker 1: that for Duck. Now, you don't necessarily have to watch
Speaker 1: all the YouTube videos, but what you do have to
Speaker 1: do you have to click the play button and then
Speaker 1: just set it and forget it. Like Ron Polpiel, who
Speaker 1: was going to go on this podcast, was booked on
Speaker 1: this podcast and then decided the very last minute he
Speaker 1: didn't want to go on this podcast because he wanted
Speaker 1: to play with his grandkids. And then he's now he's dead.
Speaker 1: But good decision by him anyway. Yeah, you got to
Speaker 1: consume all that. Also, Fergdog says, I'm loving all the
Speaker 1: video game content on the show lately, whether it's your
Speaker 1: Sonic the Hedgehog lectures, or some guy calling in while
Speaker 1: playing Castlevania two. Simon's quest. I hope he calls back
Speaker 1: after he beats it, says Fergdum. Yeah, I've realized I've
Speaker 1: known this for a while now that the number of people,
Speaker 1: the number of dudes that stay up till three four
Speaker 1: in the morning playing video games and then have our
Speaker 1: show on in the background is next level. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of people that just love to play the video
Speaker 1: games and they get their radio fix and the video
Speaker 1: game thing at the same time. Next up is Joe
Speaker 1: from New New York, but not New York City. He says, guys,
Speaker 1: Taco Bell said this week they're reconsidering their drive through
Speaker 1: with AI, and what do you think about that? He
Speaker 1: said that the reason they're thinking about changing this up
Speaker 1: is because there have been some viral pranks. I guess
Speaker 1: on TikTok people have been pranking the AI drive through,
Speaker 1: and there was one prank, Joe says, involving a thousand
Speaker 1: or thousands of cups of water. I did not see that.
Speaker 1: Did you see a Taco Bell prank with thousands of
Speaker 1: cups of water?
Speaker 3: Didn't see that?
Speaker 1: I must have been How did I miss that? How
Speaker 1: would I How would I miss it? I don't know.
Speaker 1: But it's been close to five years since the surprise,
Speaker 1: you know, the metaverse was going to be here, and
Speaker 1: all this stuff the next big thing, and artificial intelligence
Speaker 1: is around and Taco Bell reevaluating its use of AI
Speaker 1: in drive throughs a a very rocky rollout. I've been
Speaker 1: getting a lot of trolling because of it. There's some
Speaker 1: viral videos. According to Wall Street Journal, there are currently
Speaker 1: more than five hundred locations where customers can place their
Speaker 1: order via virtual assistant. However, apparently there are there are
Speaker 1: some issues. For example, here's I found the story here.
Speaker 1: It said some people doing pranks and taking advantage of
Speaker 1: the AI. One person unsuccessfully attempted to get the AI
Speaker 1: to ring up an order for eighteen thousand cups of
Speaker 1: water before an actual employee had to step in. Okay,
Speaker 1: well that would have been Why not just a five
Speaker 1: hundred would have been funny too. Five hundred would have
Speaker 1: been good.
Speaker 3: While we're on some food, be fun here. Did you
Speaker 3: see what McDonald's is doing?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: This what they got. This is from CNN a few
Speaker 3: days ago. The inflation crisis that followed the pandemic altered
Speaker 3: many customers' views of McDonald's from a cheap place to
Speaker 3: get a quick meal to a pricey fast food restaurant
Speaker 3: that barely undercut a higher quality sit down restaurant like
Speaker 3: Applebee's or Chili's, with the latter thriving over the past
Speaker 3: few years, McDonald's is now cutting prices of its combo
Speaker 3: meals to convince customers that it's affordable again.
Speaker 1: Oh, that'll do it. Yeah, that's it. Well, they knock
Speaker 1: a dollar off. Remember McDonald's, all these fast food places,
Speaker 1: we haven't done foodie fun recently. We learned that on
Speaker 1: that you can still get cheap fast food, but you
Speaker 1: have to do it on the app. And most people,
Speaker 1: I guess are not doing the app. They're not downloading
Speaker 1: the McDonald's app or the Burger King app.
Speaker 3: It's a very good point. In fact, Brenda just downloaded
Speaker 3: the McDonald's app for the first time to get some
Speaker 3: breakfast from there, and she is amazed at the app.
Speaker 3: And I told her about the stupid app two years ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes it takes a while delayed reaction. You planted
Speaker 1: the seed, Danny. It was a de laateed reaction speaking
Speaker 1: of well, this is serendipitous, Danny. You mentioned the McDonald's
Speaker 1: and we talked about food. Well, Paul from Orlando, he
Speaker 1: says he listens every single morning. He can't sleep because
Speaker 1: he's old. Well, I guess that's our future, Danny. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Paul says, do you see this story, guys, worst fast
Speaker 1: food item in America? The top ten worst fast food
Speaker 1: items in America. I know Terry in England loves a list.
Speaker 1: This is not my list, so it doesn't count. I
Speaker 1: don't do lists. It's just this is a story that
Speaker 1: Paul from Orlando Terry. If you're upset, contact Paul. He
Speaker 1: says he's old and he can't sleep because his body hurts,
Speaker 1: so contact him. So this is a study done. And
Speaker 1: how much fast food do you eat? Danny? I don't
Speaker 1: eat much fast food. I'll occasionally eat raising canes. That's
Speaker 1: my little dirty secret. Sometimes I'll go to Chick fil
Speaker 1: A with the wife or something, but very rarely.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say once a week, if not every
Speaker 3: other week.
Speaker 1: Okay, So how are you going? Can you name? How about?
Speaker 1: I'll give you five guesses, and how many of those
Speaker 1: five are in the top ten worst rated fast foods
Speaker 1: in the nation. These are items fast food items that
Speaker 1: are rated the worst.
Speaker 3: Oh, this is specific to the fast food Joint.
Speaker 1: Yes, American fast food who scored the lowest. What food
Speaker 1: particular items like? You could say a taco from Taco Bell, gotcha?
Speaker 3: Gotcha? Okay, I'm going to say a burger from Burger King.
Speaker 1: Burger from Burger King. Not there strike on on the top.
Speaker 1: That might be because people stopped eating.
Speaker 3: At Burger King. What's next?
Speaker 1: Number two?
Speaker 3: I mean, I wish I knew more about fast food
Speaker 3: is probably good. I don't know that much about fast food.
Speaker 3: I'm like you, more like you. We go to Chick
Speaker 3: fil A, Panda Express, Rotate, and sometimes Taco Bell is
Speaker 3: a treat maybe once a month.
Speaker 1: Well again, I don't do this. I'll give you the
Speaker 1: big board.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll give you the big boy.
Speaker 1: Let me give you the big board. I'll just go
Speaker 1: real quick. Ten worst from the home office is Dave
Speaker 1: Leederman say home office in somewhere in Nebraska. Number ten.
Speaker 1: Domino's Pasta was number ten pasta. Papa John's wings was
Speaker 1: number nine, Pizza Hut breadsticks was number eight. Those are
Speaker 1: the same breadsticks I ate thirty years ago. They have
Speaker 1: not changed them. The Chipotle case ideas are those are
Speaker 1: on there? Domino's wings. Apparently people don't like wings from
Speaker 1: fast food Number five was a Panda Express. I them, Danny,
Speaker 1: the fortune cookie from Panda Express.
Speaker 3: Yees, god, there, they're always stale. Yeah, not good.
Speaker 1: They likely bought them all in nineteen ninety nine and
Speaker 1: they're still giving them out all these Jude. Number four,
Speaker 1: the KFC chicken sandwich was number four. Looks good apparently
Speaker 1: does not taste good. Number three back to back in
Speaker 1: belly the belly was the KFC chicken tenders. That's not
Speaker 1: good if you're Kentucky Fried Chicken and you've got the lowest,
Speaker 1: fourth lowest rated chicken sandwich and the third lowest rated
Speaker 1: chicken tenders. And now to the top two, Danny the
Speaker 1: top two number two. Number two the Chipotle rice bowl.
Speaker 1: I've never had a rice bowl from Chipotle, so I
Speaker 1: could not tell you that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, me neither.
Speaker 1: And number one, Number one, that would be the chicken
Speaker 1: tends at McDonald's rated the worst fast food item in America.
Speaker 1: Congratulations to McDonald's A way to Go. It's a great
Speaker 1: honor there. I'm sure you're very proud that you've come
Speaker 1: up with the worst item imaginable at a fast food restaurant.
Speaker 3: Still a good treat, though, Ben to go there once
Speaker 3: in a while so you don't die young, and get
Speaker 3: some fries and their diet coke. The carbonation there is
Speaker 3: off the hook.
Speaker 1: Gotta go fries, and you've got to get the cone,
Speaker 1: the vanilla cone, or a Sunday. I'd allow a Sunday.
Speaker 1: And you got to go to the in La. You
Speaker 1: got to go over to Downey to the original, well
Speaker 1: not the original, but the oldest standing McDonald's where they
Speaker 1: have oh yeah, McDonald's. They have the fries, they.
Speaker 3: Have the pot, the fried apple pie where I.
Speaker 1: Remember being a kid biting into that fried apple pie
Speaker 1: burning my mouth.
Speaker 3: Not only your tongue, you would burn the roof of
Speaker 3: your mouth.
Speaker 1: It was so painful. It was the the heat equivalent
Speaker 1: of when you get brain freeze from eating ice cream
Speaker 1: too fast.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 1: It was wild and the doing apple stuff would it.
Speaker 3: Would run down so good man, it was.
Speaker 1: It was wild. What else do we have? Let's see here.
Speaker 1: This one's from Tony in Phoenix. He says, hey, guys,
Speaker 1: there was a study that revealed which generation of Americans
Speaker 1: want a four day work week the most. And Tony says, Ben,
Speaker 1: I know you can read this. You should ask Danny,
Speaker 1: So I'll ask you, Danny, because Tony wants me to
Speaker 1: put you on the spot. This is according to research
Speaker 1: done by Talker Research. I don't know what that is.
Speaker 1: And they found which generation blank generation the most likely
Speaker 1: to support a four day work week? What do you say?
Speaker 3: Gen Z?
Speaker 1: You're going gen Z all right? Surveys no, Millennials, no,
Speaker 1: millennials as a generation are most likely to support a
Speaker 1: four day work week. Seventy five percent of millennials want
Speaker 1: to do a four day work week. And then gen
Speaker 1: Z was a little less, but close, little less. I
Speaker 1: think we're part of gen X, right? Are we part
Speaker 1: of Gen X?
Speaker 3: We are?
Speaker 4: We're Generation X, Generation X all right, so we were
Speaker 4: the last the last generation without the internet, right, I
Speaker 4: think that'd be accurate.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why we're the most creative generation.
Speaker 1: That's right, baby, Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3: And that's why we're good communicators.
Speaker 1: I don't mind working. In fact, we don't do a
Speaker 1: four day weekday, we do an eight day week. Here.
Speaker 3: You ain't lying.
Speaker 1: It's it is a grind, man, It can't be a
Speaker 1: grind at times. We love doing the podcast, but it's
Speaker 1: as long as you get you guys keep listening, We'll
Speaker 1: keep doing it, but the moment the numbers go down,
Speaker 1: I'm out. That's it. And and really the cool thing
Speaker 1: is that you should get more people. I'll talk to
Speaker 1: a buddy of mine about this. We need more people
Speaker 1: to get other people who listen to the podcast, not
Speaker 1: because necessarily we're good at podcasting, but this literally costs
Speaker 1: the company money. We get paid based on how many
Speaker 1: people listen to this podcast correct any essentially a percentage
Speaker 1: of how many people listen to the buddies. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: technically they call it impressions. Impressions. Yeah, so you want
Speaker 1: to stick it to iHeart and cost them lost them
Speaker 1: money and then get more people to listen to this podcast,
Speaker 1: not because we're good, not because we're doing a great thing.
Speaker 1: I think we are, But if that's up to.
Speaker 3: You, Yeah, if you really want to make a good impression,
Speaker 3: send this podcast to a family member or friend for us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because we'll get a little extra scratch out
Speaker 1: of it, and that's kind of cool. Vince from Northern California,
Speaker 1: right Sin says Hey, Ben and Daddy G my two
Speaker 1: favorite Dodger fans, says, Spirit Airlines filed for bankruptcy. I've
Speaker 1: heard you guys talk about Rob Parker and his love
Speaker 1: of Spirit Airlines. How will Rob recover? Yeah? I don't
Speaker 1: think they're going out of business, right, Danny. I think
Speaker 1: they just filed for bankruptcy so they can re shuffle
Speaker 1: the finances.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I guess they're just doing what a lot of
Speaker 3: big companies have done. Yeah, basically, it's debt management.
Speaker 1: Yeah, debt management. We know a lot about that. Travis
Speaker 1: and Dallas, several people right now, I'm using one from

Speaker 1: French and German don't like one another. Racist. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: Doris got demoted from the NBA games on ESPN. She's
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna pour one out for Doris Burke
Speaker 1: and people. I used to RiPP her all the time
Speaker 1: because I ripped her because she was bad at her job.
Speaker 1: I didn't rip her because she's a bad person. I
Speaker 1: don't know Doris Burke. I've never met her. I mean,
Speaker 1: she's fine, she's just bad at commentating on the NBA
Speaker 1: and I would always hit the mute button. So I'm
