This is our last Friday show here 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:48.440 in the month of September. 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:50.000 On the fifth Hour. 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:55.600 Every weekend, new original audio content Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.440 This is a spinoff, as you know I would assume 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:02.160 by now of the Overnight Show, the Original Recipe Podcast. 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:07.679 This is not the Original Recipe Podcast. Instead, Extra Crispy, 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.959 extra spicy, all the good stuff, and it's here all 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:16.160 weekend long. Now, this is the Friday we celebrate National 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:21.160 Horned Beef hash Day. Now, I do not eat breakfast. 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:24.720 I know you're very concerned in about my culinary habits. 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.880 Over the last couple of years on this podcast, we 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:35.280 have laid out that I enjoy fasting. I usually eat 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.640 once a day. I'll skip a day or two during 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:42.720 the week. It's my michi gos. But when I eat breakfast, 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.399 which is rare and appropriate normally when I'm on vacation, 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.520 and I get dragged out because I'm normally not up 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:55.320 the traditional time of breakfast doing the overnight show. But 0:01:55.520 --> 0:02:00.600 I love corn beef hash I absolutely, we love it 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:05.040 wonderful and today is today. Now that does not mean 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:09.000 I'm going to eat it because we record this podcast 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.200 very early in the morning. 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.959 By the way, Danny G will be back tomorrow. 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.360 Some of you have reached out to me and you 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:20.760 think that I am boguarding the podcast, that I am 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:25.359 not allowing Danny G to talk, which AI found amusing 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:30.560 and b could not be further than the truth. Fun 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:34.680 the truth when I do the podcast. When we do this, 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:39.760 Danny is not available at this time on Friday, so 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:44.120 that's why you've got me and Danny. When he's available 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.720 on Saturday and Sunday, we have him on, but he's 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:49.720 got a lot going on with Colvino and rich and 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:54.200 all that. So he's not being forced off the Friday Podcast. 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:57.320 And every once in a while he'll appear on the 0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.840 Friday Podcast, but today is not one of those days. 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:01.480 The microphone throttler. 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:06.600 But as far as cornby fash, love it, love it, 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:11.040 love it, love it. Now the origin of cornby fash, 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.520 I know you're dying to know. I love this kind 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:13.880 of stuff. 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:15.200 I just eat it up. 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.200 It's unknown. They don't really know when it began. There's 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:24.400 some historians, not Laker fans, but real historians who claim 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:33.240 that there's a fourteenth century recipe fourteenth century that is 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:38.000 essentially what is today cornby fash. It's also believed that 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:42.839 Jewish immigrants really brought it to America in the late 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:47.560 nineteenth century when they were fleeing northern Europe. But I 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.560 don't know who brought it. I always love it. It's 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:55.119 my go to. It's a staple for me when I'm 0:03:55.120 --> 0:04:00.440 eating breakfast. I like my pancakes, but hornby fash, which 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:05.119 is just corn beef diced up, throw some spices on there, 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:06.680 some onions, some potatoes. 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:08.240 What more do you need? 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:15.240 It's easy to make, It's wonderful, and love it, love it. 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:19.200 Love it, love it. It is also today, if that 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:23.680 was not enough, it is National Hot Chocolate Day. This 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:26.800 is the start of fall, the first weekend. I believe 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:30.640 in fall. Autumn wind. The autumn wind is a racy 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:35.719 as we head in the fall, So celebrate National Chocolate 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.440 Milk Day. It's also Morning show host Day. I don't 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.840 do a morning show, so I don't think I can 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:45.520 celebrate that. But yeah, chocolate milk. I think we talked 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:50.279 about this last year on this podcast. But chocolate milk 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:58.279 is from Jamaica. Yeah, it's Jamaica. Ginger beer and chocolate 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:03.840 milk from from Jamaica allegedly and goes all the way 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:08.880 back to the fourteen hundreds and still to this day. 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:16.359 The global chocolate milk market expected to grow by three 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:20.920 point six percent over the next few years. So people 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:25.920 love their chocolate milk. It makes you a little Tingley, 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:31.080 a little Tingley. So on today's podcast, we've got a 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:38.720 little trophy time, the old switcheroo, saw foody fun as well, 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:43.000 and all of that. All of that we'll get to you, 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.920 but here we begin with this. So I'm going to 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:53.280 take you behind the Microphone, Behind the Microphone Companion Podcast, 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.080 Behind the scenes the making of Benny Versus the Penny 0:05:56.120 --> 0:06:01.120 on and b see Peacock as well well. And if 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:04.960 you didn't know, it is week four of the NFL. 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:08.240 We had that riveting Cowboy game which I won. I 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:12.520 had the Giants plus the points. Hallelujah. 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:13.320 That's a good win. 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:15.880 I'll take it. I need all the good wins I 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.880 can get. But the Giants winning the bet. They lost 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.840 the game last night because of a field goal that 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:28.160 was just a little wide to the right, just a 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:32.280 wee bit, just a little bit. So it's week four. 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.160 Benny Versus the Penny is in the bank. We did 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:40.159 it yesterday. It will start airing later this afternoon on 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:48.280 the NBC regional cable sports channels in Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco, 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:55.240 and Los Angeles, so all of those places, and also 0:06:55.440 --> 0:07:00.400 nationally streaming on Peacock. So the big behind the scenes 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:08.279 news involves my big fat mouth. Now I'm gonna flash 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.400 back in the hot tub time machine. We're gona go 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:15.520 back to Monday, Monday, Monday Night football. We had a 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:22.480 double header on Monday Night. So I made a decision 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:25.720 which I have regretted all week. 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:27.320 Now. 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:31.120 I decided I'm gonna make some chicken. I'm gonna I'm 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:35.240 gonna cook up some chicken, grilled chicken, and some rice. 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:39.160 Now that's my normal, normal meal. But this was not 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:43.880 a normal day. You're about to hear the rest of 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.440 the story. And this is a story that I have 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:51.560 not told. You don't know about it. Eddie doesn't Eddie 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:53.520 didn't know about it. Coop doesn't know about it. The 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:57.360 rainer doesn't know about it. Even Danny g who's not here, 0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:02.080 he doesn't know about it. So I normally make some 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:06.040 kind of chicken dish and rice. But this day was 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:10.560 different than most other days. Why in my effort to 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:15.400 fast track the cooking process, I was in a rush 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:22.360 to eat, and I brought the food back quickly to 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:27.240 the sofa. So I'm sitting down watching the Monday game, 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:31.360 the Bills Jacksonville game. So I tried to time it 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:35.080 where I could eat right when the game began. So 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.679 I sit down, I got my food, and I go 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:42.079 for it. I'm like, all right, I haven't eaten since yesterday. 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.040 Let me have a nice meal. So I chow down 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:54.680 and nice big chop. And what happened in my haste 0:08:55.280 --> 0:09:00.160 to eat the food, I ended up biting a I 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:06.520 ain't chunk, not completely out of my tongue, but it's 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:08.400 really messed up. 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:12.520 Yeah. 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:17.480 So all week I have been dealing with the left 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:22.199 side of my tongue, which is completely mutilated. 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:24.600 Oh my gosh. 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:29.120 The very odd thing about this is that not a 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:34.360 single listener, not even my my core p one guys, 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:37.480 said Hey, Ben, I think there's something that will off 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:41.760 with your voice. Every word that I have said this 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.040 week has been painful. 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:45.240 Every word. 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:49.120 Now, I did get the last couple of days, I 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:53.560 got some numbing like toothache, Joe, But it's not toothache. 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:59.160 It's on my tongue. And the issue is this. 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.720 And I've said for many years that there's only three 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:07.000 things that can make what I do for a living painful. 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:13.760 One is laryngitis. I've done radio with laryngitis. It's not fun. 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:18.080 I don't recommend it. The other two are burning your 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:25.319 tongue or what I've just done, biting my tongue, literally 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.640 biting your tongue. Now, there's some other stuff, toothache or 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:34.440 something like that. But if you remember several years back, 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.520 it's been many years, but I famously burned my tongue 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:43.640 eating pizza too fast, and I sounded on that one 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:47.600 people did tell me I sounded weird. They said, something's 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:51.960 weird about that. They said I sounded like Lou Holtz. 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:55.720 I had a lisp when I talked, and I fortunately 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:59.880 I don't with this. But the problem is I haven't 0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:07.200 been able to properly heal the tongue because every night 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.600 I go into the studio and I talk for four 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:14.840 hours and the left side of my tongue in the back, 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:20.080 which there's no way around it, is very uh you know, 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.520 it's it's in the recovery mode. So what ends up 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:28.440 happening is I don't talk during the day. I'm quiet 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:32.839 and I feel better. But then at night or here 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:36.000 in the morning, and I did four hours of radio overnight. 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.880 We had a few hours off, and I'm back with 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.640 this podcast. And I'm not looking for a purple heart. 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.719 By the way, I have a purple tongue because of 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:48.480 the uh, because of the swelling and all that. But 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:52.760 doing four plus hours of talk radio, a TV show 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:58.720 and a podcast, uh yeah, it's I'm feeling it, and uh, 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.080 I'm not looking for for anything other maybe a trophy. 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:05.280 Maybe I actually hit a trophy. But other than that, 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:07.280 I'm good. 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:08.800 I'm okay. 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.760 Now moving on from that wonderful story about my swollen, 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:17.960 throbbing tongue that I'm an idiot, I am such a 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.640 moron and I bitten my tongue. So we have the 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:25.800 old switcheroo without giving too much away, because I want 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:30.200 you to watch BVP Benny Versus the Penny, Episode four, 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:33.760 season two of the show, which is actually episode five. 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.400 It's week four, but we did a pre season show, 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:41.160 so it's really episode five, season two of Benny Versus 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:45.040 the Penny. But you'll notice if you watched this weekend 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:47.440 show which will air today, Tomorrow and Sunday until one 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:52.679 o'clock Eastern time on Peacock, that Tom Lody pulled a 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:53.280 fast one. 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:57.440 He did the looney switcheroo. Now I'm not going to 0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:57.839 tell you. 0:12:58.040 --> 0:12:59.400 I'm not going to sit here and tell you what 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.199 he did. To watch the show and see if you 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:06.719 can figure it out. But there was a dramatic change, 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:09.720 if I remember, it was near the end of the show, 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:14.839 so you can check that out. And the taping was 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:20.840 rather smooth, good vibrations, didn't have to redo much of anything. 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:24.760 There were no major snaff foos. There we were in 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.199 the zone, but not at aut a zone, eating our 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:33.160 mojo potatoes. We found our mojo. Now, speaking of that, 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:39.200 speaking of that, there is some foody fun. Are you 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:46.800 ready for foody fun? Foody fun? Let's do it all right, 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.520 let's have some foody fun here. We'll start with this 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:55.199 Burger King. Now, they have a one million dollars competition. 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:56.680 I don't know if you've heard about this or not. 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.959 It's amazing to me that Burger King is still in business. 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.800 Every time I go to Burger King, or I don't 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:04.559 even go to Burger King, but when I drive by 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:08.320 Burger King, there's no one there, but someone must beating 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:12.439 there anyway. Burger King has a one million dollar competition 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:17.400 to try to find a new whopper flavor, and they 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:23.560 have debuted three possible whopper flavors this week. They have 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:30.560 fried pickle ranch Whopper, which sounds like everything I hate 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:36.480 other than the fried part fried pickle, sorry, alf disgusting, 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:41.160 and then the ranch the Devil's play, so I don't 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:47.120 need that. They have the maple bourbon Barbecue Whopper, which 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:55.560 actually sounds somewhat compelling. Of course, I would argue anything 0:14:55.680 --> 0:15:01.200 after the fried pickle ranch whopper would be compelling. Also, 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:05.680 you have the Mexican streekhorn whopper. I don't know how 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:09.360 that would play in the Upper Midwest, but hey, why 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:10.800 not it sounds like it would be. 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:11.240 All right? 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:13.520 Now, what else do we have on foody fun? Jack 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:17.280 in the Box has introduced a couple of new items. 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:21.160 They have the new Red Bull gamer Box. 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:22.960 What the hell is this? You ask? All right, I'll 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:26.560 tell you. Well. First of all, I clicked this button 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:27.080 right here. 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:33.840 The Jack in the Box Red Bowl gamer Box includes 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:40.360 not one, two tacos, thirteen tiny tacos, an order of 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:44.160 hot and salty medium French fries. Right, that's not bad, 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:52.440 order of medium seasoned curly fries, two dip cups they've got, unfortunately, 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:57.680 buttermilk ranch and creamy avocado, and a can of Red Bull. 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:03.880 Now price is very but the suggestion suggested real tail 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.120 price I saw was about ten dollars. 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:07.680 Ten dollars for that. 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:13.680 Which sounds like a decent amount of food, and the 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:17.920 tacos are not that much. Two tacos, thirteen tiny tacos, 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:23.640 and a couple of fries. That seems a little pricey, 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:26.400 I guess for you're not getting that much food when 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.400 you break it down. Also, Jack in the Box has 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:33.200 introduced the new smoke show. That's not a woman or 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:38.280 man cheeseburger. It's in San Diego for a limit of times. 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.840 So if you're in San Diego and you want to 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.520 try this out, you got to hunt around your local 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:48.760 Jack in the Box there and you Yes, you can 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:52.800 be a guinea pig. It is available all a cart 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:55.760 or as a combo with fries and a drink. 0:16:56.400 --> 0:17:00.480 What is it? What's five seventy nine? They they give 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:01.240 you either a. 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:05.760 Double or a single with a one beef patty as 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:11.800 opposed to the eighty percent top with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:17.720 crispy onions all right, smoke house sauce, and a buttery 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:25.440 bakery bun alright. So yeah, that sounds pretty good. I 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:27.359 don't know if I want the lettuce with tomato, but 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:32.639 the crispy onions, the sauce and everything else, why not 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:36.080 making it up with the butt looks pretty good. 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:36.560 All right? 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:39.479 That sounds like a keeper. I don't know if it's 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:43.000 as good good as the Outlaw Burger from back in 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.320 the day. What else do we have on foody fun 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:52.879 Wendy's taking direct aim at McDonald's and those broken mcflurry machines. 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:54.280 They have a. 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:59.000 One dollar, one dollar, one dollar, one dollar Frosty deal. 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:03.200 Now I have a question. I used to eat it 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:05.440 Wendy's quite a bit back. 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:06.720 In the day. 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:09.200 Not so much anymore, all right, I mostly eat at home, 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:17.119 very expensive. But do the the Wendy's machines right, for 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.720 the for the Frosty's and all that, do they break 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:22.400 as often as the McDonald's ones. 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:25.200 I'm just I'm asking for a friend. 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:27.919 Also, if I remember correctly, we did a story on 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:31.320 Foody Fun God it was a couple of years ago 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:37.320 where there's a theory that the McDonald's soft served machines 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:42.600 are not actually broken as often as the restaurants say that. 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:49.800 What happens is there a pain in the tukis to clean, and. 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:52.080 So a lot of restaurants so. 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:54.840 Just there's people that are like lazy and they don't 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:56.520 want to they don't want to have to clean them 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:58.080 all the time, and so they'll just say they're out 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:00.440 of service, when in reality any. 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:03.000 Not exactly the case. 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:08.560 What else do we have McDonald's snack wraps returning with 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:15.120 the new Crispy strips nationwide rollout expected in twenty twenty five. 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:16.119 Hallelujah. 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:19.360 Now some people have emailed me over the last couple 0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:21.639 of years we've been doing footy fun and they're like, 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:24.000 what's going on with the McDonald's. I used to like 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.480 the rabit's healthy. A. I don't think it's healthy. B. 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:33.880 I don't work for McDonald's. And see, congratulations, it's back. 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:37.240 What else do we have? Let's see, let's see any 0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:41.760 else that's probably good on that? How about now the 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:48.280 phrase of the week. Are you ready for the phrase 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:53.520 of the week? All right, Today's phrase of the week 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:57.719 on this Friday, the twenty seventh day of September, on 0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:02.800 the Fifth Hour podcast, Born with a silver spoon in 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:07.120 the mouth. You ever heard that before, like, for example, 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:13.800 Bronnie James Lebron's kid born with a silver spoon in 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:19.199 the mouth. So this goes way back. There's a claim 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:20.639 I fell down a rabbit hole. 0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:23.400 By the way, Mike. I don't know where Mike lives. 0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:24.360 He didn't say where he lives. 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:27.200 I guess he's embarrassed, but he sent me an email 0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:30.000 asking me about this one. So I went down a 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:34.800 rabbit hole. Here's what I found. The claim is that 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:39.000 in the Middle Ages, the silver spoon was very important 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:43.440 for farmers and craftsmen to avoid being mistaken for an 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:48.119 escape slave. So they had silver spoons. No, no, I'm not 0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:52.879 some escaped slave. So that was the first thing. Later 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:57.240 on the baptism process, which I'm not too familiar with, 0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:02.040 giving a silver spoon as a baptism gift is a 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:06.720 tradition that also goes back to the Middle Ages. The 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:11.080 belief was that the silver spoon was something that was magical. 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:15.680 There were magical properties in the silver that could keep 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:20.160 away the evil spirits, oh, those evil spirits. And then 0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:24.360 you have the wealth part of it, where I think 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:27.600 about it, Well, you're born entitled, You're born into a 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:32.879 family that has a fair amount of money, like Bronnie 0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:37.359 James for example. So anyway, born with a silver spoon 0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:41.639 in one's mouth. It comes from the tradition of giving 0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:45.840 sterling silver to babies, and it is also it's a 0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:51.359 sign of doing well financially. And people had hoped that 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:55.760 the wealth given to the little baby, the little baby 0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:58.560 would follow that child throughout their life. 0:21:58.720 --> 0:22:00.800 That if you were born with this silver spoon in 0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:04.800 your mouth, you would grow up to be successful. Of course, 0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:07.600 the argument could be made if you are with a 0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:14.639 family that could afford a sterling silver spoon, well chances 0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:18.800 are pretty good that you would be pretty successful. So 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:22.080 and of course modern in modern times. 0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:25.760 It was first used as it is today, born with 0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:31.240 a silver spoon in your mouth about eighteen hundred, about 0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:35.119 eighteen hundred or so, and there it is. And I 0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:39.280 know in a colonial America. What they did is they 0:22:39.320 --> 0:22:41.919 took all these coins when the people came over from Europe, 0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:46.360 they started melting the coins down. And because they didn't 0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:49.280 want to waste the precious metal from the coins, they 0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:52.600 didn't need them anymore, they weren't going back to Europe, 0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:57.040 and so what they did was they would melt them 0:22:57.040 --> 0:23:01.080 down and make silver spoons. And so that is the 0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:05.920 phrase of the week, born with a silver spoon in 0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:09.880 the mouth. I did want to mention before I get 0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:12.240 the heck out of here. My thoughts are with so 0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:15.320 many of you that are in what I call Malar 0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:19.720 Country in the South. I've been watching the news here 0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:26.120 this morning and the hurricane tearing through parts of Florida 0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:29.919 there and there have already been a few people that 0:23:30.040 --> 0:23:36.000 have met their demise because of this hurricane and it 0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:39.240 hit landfall. Point of the news I have here in 0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:42.119 the studio I'm watching, it's a category four, so a 0:23:42.119 --> 0:23:48.359 cat for storm. And as of me doing this podcast 0:23:48.359 --> 0:23:51.440 this morning, they said there's already a couple million people 0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:58.320 without power across Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas. My father 0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:02.120 in law mostly lives in the Carolinas. I believe he's 0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:06.639 down there right now. So our thoughts are with you. 0:24:06.760 --> 0:24:10.600 And this thing's going to be going up through the 0:24:10.640 --> 0:24:13.960 eastern part of the United States the next couple of 0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:17.840 days here, So thoughts with you. I know many of 0:24:17.840 --> 0:24:23.080 you during hurricanes have these big elaborate parties and whatnot, 0:24:23.320 --> 0:24:27.000 and I didn't know about that until I started doing 0:24:27.040 --> 0:24:30.639 the overnight show. He's it's just an excuse to drink. Also, 0:24:30.720 --> 0:24:36.440 blizzard parties. We do very well in blizzard parties when 0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:39.240 you boys stay up all night and you're drinking and 0:24:39.280 --> 0:24:41.320 you're just waiting for the storm to pass with all 0:24:41.359 --> 0:24:43.360 the snow dumped on top of you, and then you've 0:24:43.359 --> 0:24:46.000 got to dig out of it. And for some reason, 0:24:47.000 --> 0:24:51.600 our show goes very well with massive. 0:24:51.280 --> 0:24:52.639 Amounts of alcohol. 0:24:53.880 --> 0:24:57.679 I am told the show is better with massive amounts 0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:02.399 of alcohol and at any even as we learned a 0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:07.639 couple weeks back on the Overnight Show, the amount of 0:25:07.680 --> 0:25:15.560 people that could be listening who are inebriated is amazingly large, right. 0:25:15.640 --> 0:25:21.399 The people that are completely schnockered, if you will, is 0:25:21.480 --> 0:25:25.600 a massive, a massive amount of people, and a lot 0:25:25.640 --> 0:25:30.159 of them obviously at night. But the the statistic that 0:25:30.280 --> 0:25:35.840 I saw at any given time, zero point seven percent 0:25:36.600 --> 0:25:42.280 of the global population is completely hammered, right obliterated. 0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:43.680 There. 0:25:44.359 --> 0:25:46.000 How many other ways can I say is they're they're 0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:50.160 pickled over, they're whiskey frisky. I don't know what else 0:25:50.200 --> 0:25:53.800 I can say anyway, zero point seven percent or zero 0:25:53.880 --> 0:25:57.000 point seven percent of the global population. So that means 0:25:57.720 --> 0:26:00.920 right now, as I am doing this podcast, there are 0:26:01.080 --> 0:26:07.359 roughly fifty seven million men and women, we hope not kids, 0:26:07.400 --> 0:26:11.439 but men and women who are hammered right now. All right, 0:26:11.480 --> 0:26:14.399 have a wonderful rest of your Friday, and Danny G 0:26:14.560 --> 0:26:16.000 will be back tomorrow. 0:26:16.400 --> 0:26:17.280 Tomorrow. 0:26:17.359 --> 0:26:22.240 Tomorrow is another day, and we will have brand spanking 0:26:22.320 --> 0:26:26.159 new podcast on Saturday and Sunday, our final couple of 0:26:26.160 --> 0:26:28.359 the shows for the month of September. 0:26:28.880 --> 0:26:30.080 So you know what to do. 0:26:30.240 --> 0:26:33.040 Click that like button on the podcast, Tell a friend 0:26:33.520 --> 0:26:34.880 and we'll talk to you next time. 0:26:35.720 --> 0:26:36.719 Got a murder, I gotta go.
