WEBVTT - The Fifth Hour: Golden Mickey Mouse Poop

0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Kubbooms.

0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:05.400
<v Speaker 2>If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.200
<v Speaker 2>a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.480
<v Speaker 2>of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 2>treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 2>rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.320
<v Speaker 2>The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.

0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 2>The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:34.159
<v Speaker 1>Here we go, here we go, Well, come in to

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the Fifth Hour. We thank you for finding us. We

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>are in the air everywhere? Is a podcast in the

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:45.239
<v Speaker 1>air everywhere? Or is it in the digital network everywhere?

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:46.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure how.

0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:50.880
<v Speaker 3>It's like Ghostbusters. It's trapped and then it's released into

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 3>the air everywhere. When the health inspector gets pissed off.

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Does that mean we're a slimer? Is that what we are? Yes,

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:03.640
<v Speaker 1>we are slimer. But then when it's broadcast, assuming that

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 1>you put it on an audio device that has speakers,

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:08.720
<v Speaker 1>it is in the air like our voices in the

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 1>air everywhere. But if you listen with headphones then is

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>that still does that count as being I'm not sure

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:18.440
<v Speaker 1>how that works. I don't know.

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:21.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it does count your head as the antenna. Don't

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 3>worry though, It's totally healthy.

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what could possibly go wrong? Nothing? Nothing. So what's

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:31.400
<v Speaker 1>on the menu at the bistro today? Well, Benny's Bistro

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 1>no days off this Saturday, October twenty first, and here

0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:41.880
<v Speaker 1>we are back at the salt mine of audio content.

0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:46.920
<v Speaker 1>So on today's edition of the podcast. Now, I'm not

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>going to beg you to watch the TV show. I

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.640
<v Speaker 1>did that on the Friday podcast, but it is still

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 1>airing all day to day. Here on Saturday, I've got

0:01:53.360 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Espanol Payback. Walt would roll over foody fun backscratcher. And

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>that's probably all we have time. That's probably all we

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 1>have time for. But we will see, we will find out.

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Who knows, maybe we'll have time for other things. But

0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>we'll begin with this. The Chargers playing the Dallas Cowboys

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 1>back on Monday Night Football this past Monday. It was

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:20.640
<v Speaker 1>big game Monday Night Football. I hadn't been to Monday

0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Night Football in years. I usually don't go on Monday

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Night because I got get ready for the show. I

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>got to watch a million things, but I wanted to

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:30.920
<v Speaker 1>see the Cowboys, I admit it. We talk a lot

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 1>about the Cowboys. Not a Cowboy fan, I don't have

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 1>any skin in the game. I'm not a Charger fan,

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>but the Cowboys are a team. You do sports radio

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 1>on a national network, you talk a lot about the

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Dallas Cowboys. That's just the way it works. I don't

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 1>make the rules. I just follow the rules. So I

0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 1>want to go out there and see the whole circus

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:50.520
<v Speaker 1>that is the Dallas Cowboys. So I went to the

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 1>game on Monday night at Sofi Stadium. And another reason, Danny,

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I really want to thank our bosses because they've encouraged

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>me to go to more games because they love me

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.119
<v Speaker 1>going into the studio, you know, not doing the show

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:04.960
<v Speaker 1>from home. So I go in the studio a lot,

0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 1>so that encourages me to get out in about I'm

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 1>there prime time in the hood in Englewood Sofi Stadium.

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>And the funniest thing happened. Went to a football game

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 1>and a comedy show broke out. So I touched on

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>this briefly on the radio show, but this is a

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 1>much better platform to explain exactly what happened and go

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 1>a little bit further in if you will go deeper

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>in the weeds. And so the setup with the headline

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Soulfi Stadium and level seven we'll call it level seven.

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 1>That's where the working press boxes at SOFI Stadium. Level

0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>seven sounds very high up, but Sofi Stadium is actually

0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 1>it's in the ground. It's built into the because it

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:05.480
<v Speaker 1>is right in the flight path of the flights going

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 1>to Lax for landing at Lax they fly right over

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 1>so far same so they couldn't have that high so

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 1>that that's why it's built into the ground. So the

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:18.440
<v Speaker 1>four seven is where the press boxes that media free loading.

0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.280
<v Speaker 3>Are they sure safe for big California earthquakes?

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>No, it's safe until it's not. Isn't that how it works.

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 1>It's safe until it's not. So hanging out there and

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:35.840
<v Speaker 1>working press box, so there's TV, radio and scribes ink

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:40.039
<v Speaker 1>stained wretches. We're no longer inkstained because they just do

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.919
<v Speaker 1>everything digitally. There's no cheering in the press box. And

0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.040
<v Speaker 1>if you've never been to the press box, why would

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.840
<v Speaker 1>you be. You're not in the media chances are so

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of like an office with cubicles. That's the

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 1>way I would describe It's like an office with cubicles.

0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of food, because they want to meet

0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 1>the media happy, so they fatten them up. There's no

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.720
<v Speaker 1>you're no hard liquor. There used to be. In the

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 1>old days, they used to hand beer out after baseball games.

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.680
<v Speaker 1>They don't really do that much anymore. The windows are

0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:13.160
<v Speaker 1>all closed, so it's a very trying to think with

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:18.719
<v Speaker 1>the proper proper word would be it's er. Yeah, yeah,

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 1>that's a good that's a good word.

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:20.240
<v Speaker 3>That's great. Way.

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 1>It's lacking personality. You go to a stadium, you expect

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.720
<v Speaker 1>it to be full of spirit, and it is and

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:34.040
<v Speaker 1>nothing monotonous about it, full of joy. The press box is,

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 1>as you said, sterile. It's can be called dreary, unexciting, bland.

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Those are all all words that you use, so that's

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:48.239
<v Speaker 1>the set. It's also very quiet normal. The only noise

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>you normally hear is the murmur of the PA announcer,

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.720
<v Speaker 1>who after every play in the NFL game will say,

0:05:56.240 --> 0:06:01.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's like the Chargers first and ten and

0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.960
<v Speaker 1>a pass complete to the you know, the forty five

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 1>yard line by X receiver, etcetera, etcetera. So that's about it,

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 1>but not on this line. Normally it's like a library,

0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 1>but not on this line. It was different than all

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:16.719
<v Speaker 1>other nights. And here's why. I had nothing to do

0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:20.119
<v Speaker 1>with Ed Werder being there or the Dallas Cowboys media.

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:25.240
<v Speaker 1>The reason this got crazy is because the Dallas Spanish

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:29.719
<v Speaker 1>language radio broadcast team were not given their own booth.

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 1>I saw this online, yeah, so they set up inside

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>the main press box. Fact that you probably saw the

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 1>video from rash Marcazi, my old intern who was sitting

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.480
<v Speaker 1>right next to me, and we were fascinated by this.

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 1>We were just blown away by this.

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 3>So what this.

0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Meant if you didn't see the video and you know

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:52.960
<v Speaker 1>doing the story. So everybody in the room was every

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:56.839
<v Speaker 1>one of the press box again normally. As Danny said,

0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.239
<v Speaker 1>the great word, I wish I'd come up with it, sterile,

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:03.280
<v Speaker 1>right press, not a lot of color, soulless, lackluster, all

0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:07.599
<v Speaker 1>those things, but full of energy, full of energy because

0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 1>we all got treated to a live play by play

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 1>as the soundtrack. Somebody named Victor Villa Laba or Villa Laba,

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 1>I believe it's his name, and Luis Perez I know

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 1>how to say his name. The Spanish radio broadcasters for

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 1>the for the Cowboys called the game it was wild.

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Victor and Luis our next level passion excitement. I speak Spanglish.

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't even really speak Spanish, but I made out

0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 1>a few things, and I just could tell how much

0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.080
<v Speaker 1>how much fun they were having. It was great, and

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 1>everyone in a while they'd have to say a word

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.640
<v Speaker 1>in English, like American Airlines or some sponsor of the Cowboys.

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:55.480
<v Speaker 1>But they were into right. But now now we give

0:07:55.520 --> 0:08:02.120
<v Speaker 1>you some scoopage only available because I was boots on

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 1>the ground just down the aisleway from where these guys reappen.

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 1>So's here's the inside skin. A little birdie who likes

0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 1>to chirp and loves burritos and text Mechs tells me

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 1>is it true that this was a case of Espanol payback?

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Say what?

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:35.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 1>So here's here's what My source, who may or may

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 1>not be connected to this situation, informs me that years ago,

0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:47.079
<v Speaker 1>and was really that.

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:51.640
<v Speaker 3>Long ago, the.

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Dallas Cowboys in Jerry's World forced the Chargers Spanish radio

0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:05.400
<v Speaker 1>team to broad cast without a booth at Jerry's World.

0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:10.560
<v Speaker 1>And so is it true that big shots with the

0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Chargers decided to go with the eye for an eye strategy?

0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Is it also true that it's hilarious that multi billion

0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:26.439
<v Speaker 1>dollar NFL franchises would be so petty to have payback.

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, that's just what I'm hearing, but that

0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:30.800
<v Speaker 1>is quite the tail.

0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:31.439
<v Speaker 3>And it was.

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:35.080
<v Speaker 1>It was wild. It was so so good, especially when

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.200
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys scored a touchdown or two. Oh my god,

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.080
<v Speaker 1>they didn't score very many points, neither team did. It

0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:42.719
<v Speaker 1>was twenty to seventeen. But when the Cowboys scored some touchdowns,

0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:46.720
<v Speaker 1>they really got they got going. They those boys got going.

0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:50.880
<v Speaker 3>They did so and there were so many flags in

0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.640
<v Speaker 3>that game. You should be able to say that in Spanish.

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know. It was you get a flag,

0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 1>you get a flag, You get a flag. Walt would

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.040
<v Speaker 1>roll over, Danny g Walt would roll over.

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:04.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I don't know if Walt Disney was much of

0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 3>a football fan. No, although he was a baseball fan.

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:13.840
<v Speaker 3>Ben because a little known fact, Dodger Stadium consulted him

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 3>and sat down with him way back in the day,

0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.800
<v Speaker 3>and they based a lot of their structure on the

0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:25.960
<v Speaker 3>way Disneyland looked. Yes, Dodger Stadium signage looks similar to Disneyland.

0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well, I don't know that Walt Disney was a

0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:32.240
<v Speaker 1>football fan. But the Oregon Ducks, who today I believe

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.920
<v Speaker 1>are wearing their their Oregon Duck, the old school Duck logo,

0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 1>which was that's Donald Duck.

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Disney loaned allowed they allowed them to use Donald Duck,

0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 1>but they couldn't make any money from selling the image

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:47.120
<v Speaker 1>of Donald Duck right on their on their uniforms.

0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:47.920
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Nowt me ask you, does Walt Disney is he the

0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:56.200
<v Speaker 1>reason that Dodger Stadium had no drinking fountains when it opened?

0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Is that Walt Disney's the don't.

0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:02.080
<v Speaker 3>Know about that one. Okay, I do know though that

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.720
<v Speaker 3>like you go, I forget what that's the suitet level

0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.040
<v Speaker 3>in the broadcasting box level where you can see the

0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.600
<v Speaker 3>Dodger Museum. Yeah, and I would suggest you do that

0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.760
<v Speaker 3>if you ever visit Dodger Stadium, because you can see

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 3>a lot of what Dodger Stadium first looked like, really

0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.839
<v Speaker 3>cool photos and memorabilia all throughout that little museum.

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:26.719
<v Speaker 1>And they also have still I don't know if they'll

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>have it next year because the season's over because the

0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers sucked in the playoffs, But they have that bullpen

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.319
<v Speaker 1>cart from the nineteen seventies.

0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:35.280
<v Speaker 3>That's right.

0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:36.839
<v Speaker 1>You can check that.

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.760
<v Speaker 3>Out it's kind of cool. Yeah, jump inside of it

0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:44.520
<v Speaker 3>and see what security does. So Walt Disney, though, Ben,

0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:48.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't think he intended the park prices to be

0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.599
<v Speaker 3>what they are right now. Now, I'm not going to

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.400
<v Speaker 3>rant on this. I just want no.

0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 1>You don't think Walt Disney wanted to rob and pillage

0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:00.320
<v Speaker 1>the people go to Disneyland. You don't think Wall would

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:01.280
<v Speaker 1>have signed off on that.

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:05.280
<v Speaker 3>Now, I got a little quiz for you, because yesterday

0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:08.480
<v Speaker 3>my girl she sat me down at the kitchen table

0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:12.240
<v Speaker 3>and she said, got to talk to you about something. Oh.

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 3>As a guy, You're like, uh, oh, what did I do?

0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 3>But it was just about Christmas. She said, I want

0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:21.559
<v Speaker 3>to like start planning it now because I think it

0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.200
<v Speaker 3>would actually save us some money if we just do

0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:28.480
<v Speaker 3>a little family trip to Disneyland for Christmas, rather than

0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:32.600
<v Speaker 3>all the presents and all that full blown Christmas tree stuff,

0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 3>we can do a Disney trip. And I said, okay,

0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:41.079
<v Speaker 3>that sounds good. We've actually done that before. But prices

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:46.400
<v Speaker 3>have gone even higher. How much do you think it

0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:50.360
<v Speaker 3>will cost to bring the four kids in? Obviously co

0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:54.480
<v Speaker 3>is free, so four kids to Disneyland, we got to

0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:57.200
<v Speaker 3>pay for three of them. So five of us got

0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:00.520
<v Speaker 3>to pay for one day at California adventure Land in

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.480
<v Speaker 3>one day at Disneyland. These are not even park hoppers

0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.439
<v Speaker 3>where you go back and forth if you want to.

0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:07.920
<v Speaker 3>This is just one day at one one day at

0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:11.240
<v Speaker 3>the other, a Saturday and a Sunday. How much do

0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:12.880
<v Speaker 3>you think that is? All right?

0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:16.839
<v Speaker 1>So there's five people. I have no idea how much

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:21.000
<v Speaker 1>this stuff costs. So I'm just gonna I'm gonna do

0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:25.880
<v Speaker 1>some malor math back. I've got a pen here, and

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I've got a number in my head which I think

0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 1>it's going to cost. See, the problem is that I

0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:36.080
<v Speaker 1>go too high. That ruins the bit times five. This

0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:40.760
<v Speaker 1>is five paying customers, all right? You want me to

0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:44.199
<v Speaker 1>give the full amount that I think just the ticket cost,

0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:44.520
<v Speaker 1>all right?

0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:46.800
<v Speaker 3>So look out for the tickets for the weekend.

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I think the tickets will be a I think I

0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:53.240
<v Speaker 1>will buy what one hundred and seventy five? So I

0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:55.040
<v Speaker 1>think at eight eight seventy five.

0:13:55.400 --> 0:14:01.640
<v Speaker 3>Okay, eight seventy five, No, try fifteen hundred and sixty

0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 3>five dollars?

0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:06.200
<v Speaker 1>What the are you kidding me? I'm not kidding Wait,

0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 1>So I wrote down here on the piece of paper.

0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I wrote down one hundred and seventy five dollars a ticket,

0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:12.520
<v Speaker 1>So how much? How much is the tickets?

0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:14.120
<v Speaker 3>She just showed me the ticket.

0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:15.320
<v Speaker 1>What's what's the number?

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:20.000
<v Speaker 3>Fifteen hundred and sixty five dollars is what she showed

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:21.120
<v Speaker 3>me on her calculator.

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, no way, We'll do the divide. I

0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.440
<v Speaker 1>haven't done this much mass as I was at Saddleback.

0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:31.160
<v Speaker 1>So then you do the divide here divided by five.

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Holy shit, that's holy shit balls, dad gummt that is

0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 1>three hundred and twelve dollars per per member of the

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Danny g family.

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:46.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, welcome to Disneyland, ladies and gentlemen. Now it gets better. Well,

0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:50.160
<v Speaker 3>let's do a little bit of Walt Disney trivia for you. Now, Yeah,

0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:53.640
<v Speaker 3>all right, what did Walt charge on day one on

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 3>opening day of the park.

0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, I know this because my parents got to

0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:00.360
<v Speaker 1>go to Disneyland when they were younger. It was like

0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.240
<v Speaker 1>it was like fifty cents or something, some ridiculous amount

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:04.920
<v Speaker 1>of money. But I think you had to pay per ride.

0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I think that's there were tickets. Yeah, there were ride tickets,

0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:09.560
<v Speaker 1>but to get into the park.

0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:15.480
<v Speaker 3>On July seventeenth, nineteen fifty five, Disneyland's opening day, the

0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:20.120
<v Speaker 3>theme park entrance was one dollar per guest one dollar

0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:24.960
<v Speaker 3>one dollar. Now, one dollar in nineteen fifty five would

0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:28.640
<v Speaker 3>be equivalent to buying a ticket for eleven dollars and

0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:30.440
<v Speaker 3>twelve cents last year.

0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.520
<v Speaker 1>So I was gonna do the same thing. So let

0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:35.120
<v Speaker 1>me see what I want to come up. So this

0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.600
<v Speaker 1>was when did it open nineteen? What year was it?

0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:38.920
<v Speaker 3>Nineteen fifty five?

0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Nineteen fifty five?

0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.160
<v Speaker 3>And it says it's the equivalent to buying a ticket

0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:47.640
<v Speaker 3>for eleven dollars and twelve cents in the year twenty twenty.

0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Two, okay, and I'll update it for twenty twenty three.

0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:53.880
<v Speaker 1>I just I have a calculator here. It's on the interweb.

0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:58.080
<v Speaker 1>It's Usinflation Calculator dot com. It's the website I'm using.

0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:02.360
<v Speaker 1>So nineteen fifty five, if in nineteen fifty five I

0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.960
<v Speaker 1>purchased an item for one dollar, then in twenty twenty three,

0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the same item would cost eleven dollars and forty eight cents.

0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:12.640
<v Speaker 1>What is going on?

0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:19.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh man? So the tickets should actually be eleven dollars

0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:22.480
<v Speaker 3>and forty eight cents to get into that park if

0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.840
<v Speaker 3>they stayed true to Walt Disney's vision when he first

0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:26.560
<v Speaker 3>opened it.

0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Now or or if they had a CEO like Costco right,

0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:36.320
<v Speaker 1>if they had, because Costco, the hot dog drink at

0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Costco when they started that in nineteen eighty five was

0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 1>a dollar fifty. Today it's a dollar fifty. They will

0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:46.320
<v Speaker 1>not raise the price. It's a loss leader at Costco.

0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Clearly not run like the people at Disneyland. Or what's

0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:53.280
<v Speaker 1>the other one that arizona iced tea. Isn't that the

0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:55.760
<v Speaker 1>same price it's always been. They'd never raised the price

0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:56.760
<v Speaker 1>of arizona iced tea.

0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:59.120
<v Speaker 3>They're still in business. How do they do it?

0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:03.320
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know. And the thing about these experiences,

0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:07.320
<v Speaker 1>and I know the generations before us, Daddy, are all

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.360
<v Speaker 1>about the experience. I get that. You know, we're we're

0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:12.720
<v Speaker 1>a little different. Although I don't mind a good experience.

0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.920
<v Speaker 1>It just blows me, like I go to these baseball

0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.200
<v Speaker 1>games and I see how much all these NFL games,

0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:23.359
<v Speaker 1>and I see how much they charge will Last week

0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:25.560
<v Speaker 1>we talked about it on the twenty dollars thing. I

0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:27.679
<v Speaker 1>had twenty bucks to spend at the concession stand and

0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.200
<v Speaker 1>everything was ridiculous, and I was like, this is offensive

0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:31.920
<v Speaker 1>to me. This is terrible. So I ended up getting

0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:35.000
<v Speaker 1>three pretzels because that was the most bang for my buck,

0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:39.479
<v Speaker 1>three soft pretzels that took twenty dollars of my money.

0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:41.400
<v Speaker 1>I am such a radio loser.

0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.159
<v Speaker 3>I don't think it would bother all of us the

0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:48.919
<v Speaker 3>way it does if our jobs kept up with the

0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:52.800
<v Speaker 3>inflation and the uptick and all these prices, the cost

0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:56.879
<v Speaker 3>of living keeps going up, wages seem to stay exactly

0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:57.399
<v Speaker 3>the same.

0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, they know. Go and my experience over the years,

0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not naming any companies, but some I've worked

0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:06.879
<v Speaker 1>for over the years. When you ask for a raise,

0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:12.280
<v Speaker 1>they they always have some kind of excuse. It's the economy,

0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:14.679
<v Speaker 1>or we didn't get this, or we didn't get that.

0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:19.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's always some. It's always some. So well,

0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:22.399
<v Speaker 1>that's are you gonna now you're going to actually spend

0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:24.479
<v Speaker 1>the fifteen hundred dollars? Are you going to get a

0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:25.080
<v Speaker 1>third job?

0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:30.199
<v Speaker 3>With four kids? I think that still is probably a

0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:33.719
<v Speaker 3>better deal than doing a full blown Christmas with all

0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:36.760
<v Speaker 3>the gifts. Probably will bite the bullet and do it.

0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:40.960
<v Speaker 3>My WIFEI obviously wants a lot of baby pictures with

0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:44.560
<v Speaker 3>CoA at the park, and I get that. My mom

0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:46.520
<v Speaker 3>did that with me when I was a little kid,

0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:50.840
<v Speaker 3>and you know, it's a family tradition. Disneyland is a

0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:54.000
<v Speaker 3>big deal on my side of the family and my

0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:57.000
<v Speaker 3>girl's side of the family. That's the thing, man, when

0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:59.760
<v Speaker 3>it's kind of built into your family, you're going to

0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:01.800
<v Speaker 3>pay the price. You're gonna pay the piper man.

0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:05.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And I want you to know, well, I grew

0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:09.560
<v Speaker 1>up in Orange County and I went to Disneyland a

0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:11.919
<v Speaker 1>lot because I lived close to it, and when I

0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:14.480
<v Speaker 1>was a kid, it was somewhat reasonably priced to go

0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:18.280
<v Speaker 1>to Disneyland. It was they had not completely gone off

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.200
<v Speaker 1>their rocker like they've done over the last twenty years

0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.600
<v Speaker 1>or so. When I was younger, we would go quite

0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:28.639
<v Speaker 1>a bit my passes because it was pretty affordable. It

0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:30.639
<v Speaker 1>was close, and you're like, you live near Disneyland, you

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:33.960
<v Speaker 1>might as well take advantage of it. But I'm pretty

0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:38.160
<v Speaker 1>much over it at this point. But my wife loves

0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:45.119
<v Speaker 1>the holiday decorations at Disneyland, huge fan, and so she

0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:50.119
<v Speaker 1>wants to go between Now She's even willing to do

0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:52.359
<v Speaker 1>the Halloween thing, but I don't think that's going to

0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:53.520
<v Speaker 1>happen because of my schedule.

0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:53.920
<v Speaker 3>Of the work.

0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:59.520
<v Speaker 1>So I think I'll maybe take a day in December

0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:01.520
<v Speaker 1>and November or when they put the Christmas stuff up

0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:06.119
<v Speaker 1>and you know all that crap. So I'll probably end

0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:09.200
<v Speaker 1>up going around around then. So who knows, maybe we'll

0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:12.120
<v Speaker 1>end up at the same same spot, same day, and ever.

0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:15.640
<v Speaker 3>We could compare notes and you'll be like, I got

0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:19.240
<v Speaker 3>another soft pretzel at this time at Disneyland, and it

0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:22.359
<v Speaker 3>was seventeen dollars and it was five dollars for the

0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:24.760
<v Speaker 3>melted cheese. Yeah.

0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:27.679
<v Speaker 1>Well, and you know my and we've talked about this

0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:30.960
<v Speaker 1>as well. I'm a very frugal man, very simple man,

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:36.120
<v Speaker 1>and I have with my wife, we have a agreement

0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:39.720
<v Speaker 1>here with these kind of things. We take the old

0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I think this was the old slogan they had in

0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:46.640
<v Speaker 1>the military, don't ask, don't tell, which was I think

0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:49.320
<v Speaker 1>that was the Bill Clinton in his years there in

0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:52.880
<v Speaker 1>the military. It's like, don't and that come. I'm talking

0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:56.760
<v Speaker 1>about prices. If I know how much I'm spending on something,

0:20:57.600 --> 0:21:00.400
<v Speaker 1>I am not going to enjoy it as much because

0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:01.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna the whole time I want to be thinking

0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:04.399
<v Speaker 1>about how much I'm spending. And there's no way to

0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:08.480
<v Speaker 1>sugarcoat it. There's no way. Like we went in Vegas

0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:12.960
<v Speaker 1>last weekend. We went to this pretty nice Italian restaurant

0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:17.720
<v Speaker 1>that some fugazy TV chef in one of those places

0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:20.199
<v Speaker 1>is they opened to put their name on it. I'm

0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:21.399
<v Speaker 1>sure they had nothing to do with it. They put

0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:22.680
<v Speaker 1>their name on it. So we went to this place

0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:23.960
<v Speaker 1>and I happen to see how much the food was,

0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:27.400
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, holy crap. I mean, shouldn't shouldn't

0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:29.600
<v Speaker 1>I when I take a dump, shouldn't I get to

0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:32.119
<v Speaker 1>take the dump and then take that to the bank

0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:35.480
<v Speaker 1>as gold bars? You know, like that kind of thing. Yeah,

0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:42.640
<v Speaker 1>because so, yeah, we'll see, we'll see how that goes.

0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:44.880
<v Speaker 1>What I really need is the company. And don't they

0:21:44.880 --> 0:21:47.160
<v Speaker 1>do Here's here's the way for you and the wife

0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:50.400
<v Speaker 1>and and CoA to go a little cheat code, right,

0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:54.280
<v Speaker 1>don't they do the radio company? The people at iHeart.

0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Don't they do a night at Disneyland around the.

0:21:56.560 --> 0:22:03.160
<v Speaker 3>Holidays inside California Adventure. It's not inside Disneyland. Oh it's

0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:05.560
<v Speaker 3>a little bit of a bummer. Yeah, they hold their

0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:11.760
<v Speaker 3>special company events inside the smaller park California Adventure. It's okay,

0:22:11.800 --> 0:22:14.960
<v Speaker 3>but it's not Disneyland, not the original. You want the original,

0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:16.240
<v Speaker 3>you want the og.

0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:22.639
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, I guess you got some money here. Moving on,

0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:25.720
<v Speaker 1>we got a little foody fun for you. And these

0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:28.600
<v Speaker 1>are some random food stories. And this has become pretty popular,

0:22:28.680 --> 0:22:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Danny and I've determined, after a minute's long malor investigation,

0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:36.320
<v Speaker 1>the reason this is popular is because people like eat.

0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:37.919
<v Speaker 1>That's what I've did.

0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:42.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and you're a guy who did the song yesterday

0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:45.280
<v Speaker 3>that was on yesterday's podcast what's his name?

0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh Joe from Richmond, our friend Joe Joe.

0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:52.520
<v Speaker 3>I think you should limit your music down to like

0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:55.960
<v Speaker 3>twenty seconds and do a foodie fun open.

0:22:57.280 --> 0:23:01.359
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well, but then you're impeting on Ohio territory. But yeah,

0:23:01.400 --> 0:23:05.000
<v Speaker 1>if Joe wants to send in a little short jingle

0:23:05.720 --> 0:23:08.639
<v Speaker 1>for the food e fun hey something like that.

0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:12.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I don't think Ohio l would mind because

0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:15.480
<v Speaker 3>he has like, you know, six of the seven opens

0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:16.480
<v Speaker 3>right now pretty.

0:23:16.320 --> 0:23:19.639
<v Speaker 1>Much pretty much Ohio al has provided us with great,

0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:20.600
<v Speaker 1>great audio.

0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:24.040
<v Speaker 3>And also I say that because the guy yesterday should

0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:26.440
<v Speaker 3>only be singing in twenty second blocks.

0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:29.919
<v Speaker 1>Now, that's not help all right, That's okay? Those are

0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:33.159
<v Speaker 1>original lyrics, you know. Well, they're actually they're written to

0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:38.320
<v Speaker 1>the ram song, but they were the lyrics were all his. Yeah,

0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:40.359
<v Speaker 1>and I couldn't write a song. I wouldn't know how

0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:41.480
<v Speaker 1>to write a song at all.

0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:46.000
<v Speaker 3>You could probably sing it better, but yeah, wow.

0:23:47.240 --> 0:23:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Only one I can do. My only song is for

0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:56.520
<v Speaker 1>He's a jolly good Fellow, For He's a jolly good fellow,

0:23:56.680 --> 0:23:59.280
<v Speaker 1>For He's a jolly good fellow. Was nobody can and

0:23:59.400 --> 0:24:01.360
<v Speaker 1>I arf erferf.

0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:04.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm not buying that you could sing all the Blues

0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:05.160
<v Speaker 3>Brothers songs.

0:24:06.240 --> 0:24:08.639
<v Speaker 1>Well, rubber Biscuit. I knew that line. I did the

0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Blues Brother's Rubber Biscuit back of there. You got two

0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:14.320
<v Speaker 1>slices of bread and you wish you had some meat.

0:24:14.359 --> 0:24:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Wow wow wow wow.

0:24:15.640 --> 0:24:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's the line that lie. I remember that line.

0:24:18.920 --> 0:24:22.120
<v Speaker 3>Uh, maybe you shouldn't be singing in twenty second blocks either.

0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Got your mouth? How dare you so foody? Fun? Well,

0:24:25.040 --> 0:24:27.000
<v Speaker 1>this actually reference is something I said earlier. It must

0:24:27.040 --> 0:24:29.560
<v Speaker 1>have been in the back of my head. Costco is

0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:35.120
<v Speaker 1>getting a new CEO and people in the business world

0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:38.080
<v Speaker 1>are freaking out here, the saying, wait a minute, is

0:24:38.119 --> 0:24:42.080
<v Speaker 1>this new leadership at Costco going to kill the one

0:24:42.160 --> 0:24:44.760
<v Speaker 1>dollar and fifty hot dog, the all beef hot dog

0:24:45.240 --> 0:24:50.399
<v Speaker 1>combo with a drink, And nobody knows yet whether or

0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:54.520
<v Speaker 1>not the UH Costco food court staple is going to

0:24:54.520 --> 0:24:57.080
<v Speaker 1>go away. Now. I read a little bit about this

0:24:57.119 --> 0:24:58.920
<v Speaker 1>guy because this is a story close to my heart.

0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I love the Costco because, as we talked about, there's

0:25:01.520 --> 0:25:03.680
<v Speaker 1>not much that's a deal anymore, and this is one

0:25:03.680 --> 0:25:07.400
<v Speaker 1>of the places that's a deal. And so we dug around.

0:25:08.000 --> 0:25:12.920
<v Speaker 1>I dug around on the dark web, and I am

0:25:13.280 --> 0:25:15.399
<v Speaker 1>betting that it is a I'll put I put the

0:25:15.440 --> 0:25:21.280
<v Speaker 1>odds on this. The Malor sportsbook gods ninety seven percent chance,

0:25:22.200 --> 0:25:25.760
<v Speaker 1>ninety seven percent chance that the one dollar and fifty

0:25:26.000 --> 0:25:30.119
<v Speaker 1>hot dog combo stays the same, that they're not going

0:25:30.160 --> 0:25:33.639
<v Speaker 1>to raise the price. Now with inflation, since we like,

0:25:34.480 --> 0:25:36.840
<v Speaker 1>let me, let me get the inflation calculator. So let's

0:25:36.840 --> 0:25:40.679
<v Speaker 1>do the math on this. They started charging a dollar

0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:48.960
<v Speaker 1>fifty in nineteen eighty five, so with let me do

0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:51.480
<v Speaker 1>the math on this. Nineteen eighty five. Boy, this is

0:25:51.520 --> 0:25:56.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of math. Nineteen eighty five one dollar and

0:25:56.160 --> 0:26:01.960
<v Speaker 1>fifty cents, so let's call that okay. So with inflation,

0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:06.920
<v Speaker 1>the hot dog just based on normal inflation. The hot

0:26:06.960 --> 0:26:11.640
<v Speaker 1>dog drink combo at Costco should cost you four dollars

0:26:11.640 --> 0:26:14.200
<v Speaker 1>in twenty nine cents, but they have not.

0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:17.200
<v Speaker 3>Raised and I don't think it's worth four dollars in

0:26:17.240 --> 0:26:17.960
<v Speaker 3>whatever sense.

0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:21.399
<v Speaker 1>No, it's a big hot dog, that's a that's you know.

0:26:22.000 --> 0:26:23.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but when you know what a hot dog is,

0:26:24.880 --> 0:26:28.320
<v Speaker 3>it's only worth a dollar fifty. I hear, I hear.

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:31.399
<v Speaker 1>But the main reason I believe this guy is going

0:26:31.480 --> 0:26:36.280
<v Speaker 1>to continue the tradition, much like Arizona iced tea ninety

0:26:36.359 --> 0:26:39.400
<v Speaker 1>nine cents cans of iced tea, is because this guy

0:26:39.440 --> 0:26:44.080
<v Speaker 1>the new CEO that takes over in February, not February.

0:26:44.080 --> 0:26:46.760
<v Speaker 1>It's what I forget the date. I wrote it down somewhere.

0:26:47.080 --> 0:26:51.240
<v Speaker 1>This guy has worked at Costco for more than forty years, okay,

0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:55.440
<v Speaker 1>and he started as a forkliff driver.

0:26:56.240 --> 0:26:59.760
<v Speaker 3>So if you're he gets it, DN he knows the vibe.

0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:02.440
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm saying. Like, if you're a forklet driver,

0:27:02.560 --> 0:27:05.200
<v Speaker 1>you're you're a regular dude, even though you're a CEO.

0:27:05.320 --> 0:27:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Now you know how important that dollar fifty hot dog

0:27:09.720 --> 0:27:12.160
<v Speaker 1>and drink is, and you're not gonna You're not gonna

0:27:12.200 --> 0:27:14.639
<v Speaker 1>give that away or get rid of that, you're not

0:27:14.640 --> 0:27:18.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna do it. Well, here's something that is time sensitive.

0:27:18.280 --> 0:27:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Danny on a foodie fund who doesn't like a good deal.

0:27:21.840 --> 0:27:25.680
<v Speaker 1>So today, this is October twenty first here, if you're

0:28:59.240 --> 0:29:01.800
<v Speaker 1>dash passes. If you're a dash pash memory, all you

0:29:01.840 --> 0:29:06.239
<v Speaker 1>need to do is open the app anytime today and

0:29:06.400 --> 0:29:10.040
<v Speaker 1>head to their their storefront, and then you add whatever

0:29:10.080 --> 0:29:10.680
<v Speaker 1>you want in there.

<v Speaker 3>Ah, I knew it. Nine per month for a dash

0:29:16.480 --> 0:29:20.080
<v Speaker 3>pass subscription. It costs nine dollars and ninety nine cents

0:29:20.080 --> 0:29:20.640
<v Speaker 3>per month.

0:29:21.480 --> 0:29:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so I retract my previous day. I would like

0:29:25.800 --> 0:29:28.160
<v Speaker 1>to retract. I'd like to pump the brakes on that

0:29:28.200 --> 0:29:29.920
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize. Well, there you go, so you did

0:29:29.920 --> 0:29:32.120
<v Speaker 1>the you did the legwork, Danny, there there.

0:29:32.000 --> 0:29:35.800
<v Speaker 3>You So that's that's how they get you. Now you

0:29:35.920 --> 0:29:38.280
<v Speaker 3>use their service all month, it will be worth it

0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:39.040
<v Speaker 3>to sign.

0:29:38.840 --> 0:29:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Up, yeah, because then it would only cost you like

0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:44.280
<v Speaker 1>a couple yeah, a couple bucks. Yeah, well, if you

0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:46.959
<v Speaker 1>like the Big Mac. You a fan of a Big Mac, Danny,

0:29:47.040 --> 0:29:48.040
<v Speaker 1>you like that Big Mac?

0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:52.480
<v Speaker 3>Uh back when it was really a big Mac, it's

0:29:52.520 --> 0:29:55.760
<v Speaker 3>like a shriveled Mac nowadays when you order it.

0:29:56.800 --> 0:30:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so the Big Mac sauce very pop there.

0:30:00.800 --> 0:30:02.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh I like that. Yeah.

0:30:02.280 --> 0:30:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So I've heard this in the past, and I

0:30:06.440 --> 0:30:08.960
<v Speaker 1>think we talked about this on the podcast. But there's

0:30:09.000 --> 0:30:13.760
<v Speaker 1>a former McDonald's corporate chef who of course is on TikTok,

0:30:14.160 --> 0:30:20.240
<v Speaker 1>and he has announced that the people have been trying

0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:22.200
<v Speaker 1>to find the Big Max sauce. You know, can you

0:30:22.240 --> 0:30:24.080
<v Speaker 1>get the saw They love the sauce and all that,

0:30:24.160 --> 0:30:29.800
<v Speaker 1>they can't get enough. So the guy claims that if

0:30:29.840 --> 0:30:36.880
<v Speaker 1>you go to Walmart, they have the great value secret sauce,

0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:42.920
<v Speaker 1>which is Big Max sauce. Interesting to this guy, if

0:30:42.920 --> 0:30:45.520
<v Speaker 1>you want to make a homemade Big Mac, this ex

0:30:45.600 --> 0:30:50.880
<v Speaker 1>McDonald's chef claiming you can find Big Max sauce at Walmart.

0:30:50.960 --> 0:30:57.440
<v Speaker 1>He claims that they sell it. It's almost identical. It's

0:30:57.440 --> 0:31:00.640
<v Speaker 1>got all the same ingredients. And this is what we

0:31:00.720 --> 0:31:03.920
<v Speaker 1>heard last time we talked about these great value things

0:31:04.000 --> 0:31:09.480
<v Speaker 1>at Walmart, they had a ripoff Chick fil a sauce

0:31:10.120 --> 0:31:14.680
<v Speaker 1>and a ripoff raising cane sauce. So they're there. I mean,

0:31:14.840 --> 0:31:17.960
<v Speaker 1>it's all and it's nondescript. It's just a I've been

0:31:18.200 --> 0:31:20.560
<v Speaker 1>at Walmart many times and I've seen them right next

0:31:20.560 --> 0:31:24.440
<v Speaker 1>to the name brand ketchups and all that. So you

0:31:24.600 --> 0:31:26.480
<v Speaker 1>really got to love that big Max sauce though, to

0:31:26.520 --> 0:31:28.320
<v Speaker 1>be like, I'm going to go to Walmart today to

0:31:28.360 --> 0:31:29.240
<v Speaker 1>get some sauce.

0:31:29.400 --> 0:31:32.160
<v Speaker 3>You know, I was gonna say this. The last time

0:31:32.200 --> 0:31:35.000
<v Speaker 3>I stepped in a Walmart, I had to take a hot,

0:31:35.120 --> 0:31:37.680
<v Speaker 3>a long hot shower afterwards.

0:31:38.200 --> 0:31:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, my wife's not a fan of that. Don't mind

0:31:40.880 --> 0:31:43.120
<v Speaker 1>my head down, head down, boots on the ground, one

0:31:43.160 --> 0:31:45.160
<v Speaker 1>foot in front of the other, and.

0:31:45.120 --> 0:31:45.640
<v Speaker 3>You move on.

0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, Cheetos, here's a new item that is getting high

0:31:49.880 --> 0:31:56.280
<v Speaker 1>reviews from the food critics. Cheetos pretzels, a savory snack.

0:31:56.320 --> 0:32:00.280
<v Speaker 1>Any interest in eating a Cheetos pretzels?

0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:00.760
<v Speaker 3>Interesting?

0:32:01.520 --> 0:32:05.480
<v Speaker 1>There's the flaming hot version and then there's the regular, cheddared,

0:32:06.280 --> 0:32:07.080
<v Speaker 1>cheddared version.

0:32:07.440 --> 0:32:09.960
<v Speaker 3>They oh, so it must be hard pretzels, like little

0:32:10.000 --> 0:32:13.960
<v Speaker 3>hard pretzels. Yeah, the little hard pretzels, gotcha? Nah, I

0:32:14.000 --> 0:32:17.400
<v Speaker 3>don't think so. You're good on that, Yeah.

0:32:17.120 --> 0:32:20.240
<v Speaker 1>But what's good though, is to combine the Cheetos, which

0:32:20.320 --> 0:32:22.680
<v Speaker 1>and the good news about Cheetos is no cheese was

0:32:22.720 --> 0:32:24.800
<v Speaker 1>actually harmed with Cheetos. That's a good thing that no

0:32:24.960 --> 0:32:28.160
<v Speaker 1>cheese was actually harmed in any way. But you get

0:32:28.160 --> 0:32:30.080
<v Speaker 1>the Cheetos and then you get like chocolate, like milk

0:32:30.160 --> 0:32:32.080
<v Speaker 1>chocolate on the other side, like a Hershey's bar or

0:32:32.080 --> 0:32:34.960
<v Speaker 1>something like that. That's a solid combo. That is a

0:32:35.200 --> 0:32:38.800
<v Speaker 1>that is the right mix. But they're trying all kinds

0:32:38.800 --> 0:32:42.880
<v Speaker 1>of new things apparently over there, the Cheetos people, and

0:32:42.920 --> 0:32:46.560
<v Speaker 1>they're they're doing whatever they can, so that that's that's

0:32:46.600 --> 0:32:50.520
<v Speaker 1>going on. What else do we have here, Well, here's

0:32:50.600 --> 0:32:56.680
<v Speaker 1>a possible federal law violation in Foody Fun and this

0:32:56.840 --> 0:33:07.280
<v Speaker 1>involves Reese's rappers that might have violated federal law. Hershey's

0:33:07.000 --> 0:33:11.360
<v Speaker 1>there in some trouble with this Reese's rapper. It features

0:33:11.360 --> 0:33:15.640
<v Speaker 1>the brand's mascot, Cuppy. Did you know Reese's pieces mascot

0:33:15.720 --> 0:33:16.400
<v Speaker 1>was named Cuppy?

0:33:17.520 --> 0:33:18.160
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:33:18.160 --> 0:33:20.040
<v Speaker 1>No, you learned something new. That's why you're tuned in

0:33:20.040 --> 0:33:23.280
<v Speaker 1>the podcast. Anyway, they're running I didn't know this either.

0:33:23.280 --> 0:33:26.480
<v Speaker 1>They're running a twenty five thousand dollars sweepstakes under the

0:33:26.560 --> 0:33:31.840
<v Speaker 1>name Reese's University, and it's advertised on the package on

0:33:31.880 --> 0:33:36.160
<v Speaker 1>some of the products here. But according it's not your

0:33:36.280 --> 0:33:41.480
<v Speaker 1>ordinary promotion because they're in some trouble here. It comes

0:33:41.480 --> 0:33:45.320
<v Speaker 1>down to the fine print or the lack thereof of

0:33:45.440 --> 0:33:49.000
<v Speaker 1>fine print. You know what this sounds like. Sounds like

0:33:49.040 --> 0:33:51.840
<v Speaker 1>some of the other great scams we've had. There was

0:33:51.880 --> 0:33:56.040
<v Speaker 1>a documentary it was the Was it the Pepsi Fighters?

0:33:56.560 --> 0:33:57.760
<v Speaker 1>Was that? Yeah?

0:33:57.760 --> 0:33:59.600
<v Speaker 3>It was the Pepsi Fighter jet promotion.

0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So here's the problem. It says no purchase necessary,

0:34:06.040 --> 0:34:08.000
<v Speaker 1>and it says here we've all seen and heard the

0:34:08.000 --> 0:34:11.280
<v Speaker 1>phrase a lot that's because state and ferral laws dictate

0:34:11.320 --> 0:34:15.040
<v Speaker 1>the rules for sweepstakes and they require that no purchase

0:34:15.120 --> 0:34:18.239
<v Speaker 1>is necessary in order to participate. If you had to

0:34:18.440 --> 0:34:21.359
<v Speaker 1>buy something to enter the sweepstakes, then it becomes a

0:34:21.400 --> 0:34:26.759
<v Speaker 1>lottery system, and lotteries have separate red tape. So the

0:34:26.880 --> 0:34:31.120
<v Speaker 1>problem is that Reese's packaging advertising the sweepstakes does not

0:34:31.239 --> 0:34:36.160
<v Speaker 1>make any reference, any clear reference that you don't have

0:34:36.280 --> 0:34:41.480
<v Speaker 1>to buy the Reese's Pieces cup to enter the contest. Hello,

0:34:42.400 --> 0:34:44.280
<v Speaker 1>you know what this sounds like to me? This sounds

0:34:44.360 --> 0:34:48.360
<v Speaker 1>like lawsuit ambulance chasing lawsuits. What that sounds like to me.

0:34:50.520 --> 0:34:53.480
<v Speaker 1>We'll we'll see what happens with that. I mean, there's

0:34:53.480 --> 0:34:55.759
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of other random like the random thinks you

0:34:55.840 --> 0:35:01.200
<v Speaker 1>with Jamal Murray's meal returns to KFC. I didn't even

0:35:01.280 --> 0:35:03.800
<v Speaker 1>know Jamal Murray the Nuggets had a meal at KFC.

0:35:03.920 --> 0:35:04.760
<v Speaker 1>How did that happen?

0:35:05.600 --> 0:35:07.520
<v Speaker 3>That must be in the greater Denver area.

0:35:09.080 --> 0:35:11.799
<v Speaker 1>It says limit edition leather jacket is part of this

0:35:11.840 --> 0:35:16.960
<v Speaker 1>thing here and a new leather jacket with the number

0:35:17.000 --> 0:35:21.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven on it. It says the meal is eclusely

0:35:21.920 --> 0:35:25.720
<v Speaker 1>available on the KFC APPKFC dot com through December thirty. First,

0:35:27.080 --> 0:35:30.080
<v Speaker 1>it does not say here in this story. I'm looking

0:35:30.080 --> 0:35:32.959
<v Speaker 1>at that it's only in the Denver area, But maybe

0:35:32.960 --> 0:35:35.760
<v Speaker 1>it is. I would think you'd be right, but who knows.

0:35:35.920 --> 0:35:38.800
<v Speaker 1>And the Shakaroni pizza big news for the Danny g

0:35:39.000 --> 0:35:42.200

<v Speaker 1>you that kind of entertainment. Nothing.

0:36:43.080 --> 0:36:44.680
<v Speaker 3>I like how you didn't even notice that, I said,

0:36:44.719 --> 0:36:45.600
<v Speaker 3>ask Ben.

0:36:47.320 --> 0:36:50.520
