Speaker 1: Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse. The Clearinghouse of Hot takes
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now in the air every way back
Speaker 1: at it again, another edition of The Fifth Hour with
Speaker 1: Ben Maller and Danny G Radio. Because five nights a
Speaker 1: week on the overnight are not an offense. So we
Speaker 1: can schmooze, Danny G, you and I can schmooze and
Speaker 1: take care of all the things that we don't get
Speaker 1: to take care of during the week on our day jobs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Saturday is one of those days where we can just
Speaker 1: kick back, can have fun. Well, for me until it's
Speaker 1: studio time, I'm still gonna go in and have fun
Speaker 1: with the Jonas Knock Show. But what better back to
Speaker 1: back personalities then Ben Mallard and then Jonas Knocks. What
Speaker 1: a day. Oh, it's very sweet of you to to
Speaker 1: say that. I don't know that you actually believe it,
Speaker 1: but I but it's very kind of you to well,
Speaker 1: I mean, you're both kind of painting the acids. But
Speaker 1: you're fun on the air. Oh no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1: We we like to spar a little bit. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: it more interesting. So on this the Saturday pod, we've
Speaker 1: got what do we have in the bodega? We've got
Speaker 1: Aqua Mallar looking down on you, back scratcher, and if
Speaker 1: we have time, we'll do a little scientifical We haven't
Speaker 1: done that in a while, and I only we've done
Speaker 1: it since the summertime, So maybe we'll bring that back,
Speaker 1: depending on time. But let's get right into it and
Speaker 1: we begin this being the second podcast the week in
Speaker 1: the life of Mallard and Danny g and we take
Speaker 1: you behind the afterglow of being big time network radio stars.
Speaker 1: What doesn't that sound impressive to any network radio star? Man?
Speaker 1: That's like a that's like a big deal, right, and
Speaker 1: then you see our paychecks and it's like a comedy
Speaker 1: all right? What? Uh? So this past weekend a rather tranquil,
Speaker 1: mundane a weekend. I mentioned last week I had taped
Speaker 1: the documentary and so my whole schedule was all messed
Speaker 1: up and I was running all over the place. And
Speaker 1: this past weekend the life of of me pretty black, shopping,
Speaker 1: running errands, taking care of some grown up stuff that
Speaker 1: I had to do. And we're having a hidden door
Speaker 1: put in the Mallard mansion like us, that's newsworthy, hid
Speaker 1: in door like for a speak easy, well not quite.
Speaker 1: What have you come over to the Halloween party, Danny
Speaker 1: that we're gonna have you'll I'll show you the hidden
Speaker 1: door coming out, Jeffrey Dahmer. It's gonna add a new
Speaker 1: layer of spooky. And so we had our our handy guy,
Speaker 1: a handyman who does a lot of the work because
Speaker 1: I'm incapable of doing anything. Uh, and so he does
Speaker 1: a lot of work. And the guys like a magician
Speaker 1: and came over, spent a few hours working on it,
Speaker 1: came over another day worked on it. It's pretty much done.
Speaker 1: There's a few more things he has to do, but
Speaker 1: he did it pretty quick, which is nice considering he
Speaker 1: told us he had never built a door like this.
Speaker 1: It was like a secret door on wheels and you
Speaker 1: gotta pull this thing that dragged the door open. It's
Speaker 1: it's kunny. But I did have a few hours of
Speaker 1: pool time my father in law out of town visiting
Speaker 1: North Carolina and doing his thing before the storm, and
Speaker 1: so he was kind enough to let me and the family,
Speaker 1: the wife and whatnot to use the pool. And so
Speaker 1: we met up with my sister in law and her
Speaker 1: family and call me Aqua Mallard, Danny g Aqua Maller.
Speaker 1: Now I do go swimming quite a bit at this house. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: you have. You're coming off a bad leg. I don't
Speaker 1: see you as an aqua man. No, let me explain.
Speaker 1: So it was a split splash kind of a good time, Danny.
Speaker 1: I do like to go in the pool, and it
Speaker 1: did help my knee because the pressure. I felt like
Speaker 1: I was normal again with my bum right knee inside
Speaker 1: the pool. Because when you move around in the pool,
Speaker 1: they tell you if you've got bad knees or bad
Speaker 1: whatever joint, you go in the pool. My mom she
Speaker 1: had arthritis. She had terrible rumor toward arthritis, and at
Speaker 1: one point before things got really bad for her, she
Speaker 1: we had like a hot tub, and but she eventually
Speaker 1: couldn't get in the hot tub anymore. She was that bad,
Speaker 1: and so we got rid of it. But for a
Speaker 1: while I was like, yeah, it was great, but anyway,
Speaker 1: so it helped. It was the therapeutic and all that,
Speaker 1: although the chlorine was not great, and I also enjoy
Speaker 1: I have a side hustle which I talked about every
Speaker 1: once in a while. I am Uncle Benny, not Uncle
Speaker 1: Ben because that got canceled. That's the rice. But I'm
Speaker 1: Uncle Benny and my niece and nephew were at the
Speaker 1: pool at the house. You know, I'm doing our thing whatever,
Speaker 1: and I got my five year old niece and my
Speaker 1: three year old nephew. Now, my job is a very
Speaker 1: important job as Uncle Benny. My job is as the
Speaker 1: sea monster. Have you ever played the sea monster? Dan?
Speaker 1: It's a very important role. As a relative of small children,
Speaker 1: I address myself. This is where the kiddos playfully punched me,
Speaker 1: and then I at that point turned into a thespian.
Speaker 1: Now this sounds like a fun game. Yeah, yeah. So
Speaker 1: the kids pretend or they're they're actually not pretending because
Speaker 1: they're little kids. So I pretend like I've been waylaid
Speaker 1: molly wopped. When the little kids pretend, you know, they're
Speaker 1: they're actually not pretending. Like I said, they're punching. But
Speaker 1: I'll fly backwards like a vaudevillion median and I'll fly
Speaker 1: backwards are possibly forwards depending on how it goes which
Speaker 1: side I get punched. So I've done this kind of
Speaker 1: thing for years with different relatives. I love it. I
Speaker 1: love being the sea Monster and Uncle Benny and all that.
Speaker 1: So it's it's a lot of fun, love hanging out
Speaker 1: with the kiddos. And the kids believe they have like
Speaker 1: superhuman strength then because they are punching the sea Monster
Speaker 1: and the Sea Monster is going flying, so they think
Speaker 1: they're like the incredible Hulk here. So all of it
Speaker 1: was I was all I was having fun. It was
Speaker 1: all good and all that stuff, funning games, until my
Speaker 1: three year old nephew decided he wanted to crank things
Speaker 1: up a couple of notches. He went full karate kid
Speaker 1: on my ass. He karate chopped me right in the neck,
Speaker 1: right in the neck. Now, you're probably saying, right now,
Speaker 1: there's no way a three year old. I'm a grown
Speaker 1: ass man, I'm a very large human being, even though
Speaker 1: I've lost weight. How could a three year old child
Speaker 1: possibly do any damn Well, you'd be surprised. You would
Speaker 1: be surprised. I was startled. It was days in the
Speaker 1: Adams Apple, right yeah, right right here. I mean it
Speaker 1: was brutal. I was like, no way, I lost my bearings.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh yeah, you get popped there and
Speaker 1: you're like your breathing is a little off for a
Speaker 1: couple of seconds. And from a little kid, a three
Speaker 1: year old child, The kid, of course, thought this was
Speaker 1: all part of the show. The kid thought I was
Speaker 1: acting and thought it was funny, and then I'm of
Speaker 1: course not acting. So the kid had to be reprimanded
Speaker 1: by his mom and and also my my wife. But
Speaker 1: this kid was living like Ricky Martin back in the nineties. There,
Speaker 1: LaVita loca. I mean, this kid was living the life,
Speaker 1: loving life. Anyway. That was my my trip as Aqua
Speaker 1: Mallard Danny g As. I got a karate shop right
Speaker 1: to the Adams Apple. Damn. That was Cobra Kai come
Speaker 1: to life for you right there. Little ninja. I call
Speaker 1: that kid. The ninja is what I want to call
Speaker 1: that kid. So moving on, we've got looking down on you,
Speaker 1: well not you, but looking down on on you the
Speaker 1: other Yeah. So I feel like I've been kind of
Speaker 1: living a Mallard's schedule recently. Not only have I still
Speaker 1: been doing hours at the school every morning. But now
Speaker 1: I've been driving right in to the network studios right
Speaker 1: after that. So at eleven am, I've been leaving the
Speaker 1: school and going to the studios to prepare the Covino
Speaker 1: and Rich show. As you know, ben hours and hours
Speaker 1: of prep before a show, sitting there sorting through commercial
Speaker 1: reads and topics and different things like that, and printing
Speaker 1: out all the paperwork for them when they come in
Speaker 1: so that everything is coordinated and in front of them
Speaker 1: when they arrive. Their extensive selection include Summi to Sumi Tomo,
Speaker 1: sum Me Tomo, sum Me Tomo, their extensive collect father
Speaker 1: We'll do It Live. It was a long week of producing,
Speaker 1: but a very fun and and a very good week.
Speaker 1: But my first day I'm driving in. On Monday, I
Speaker 1: leave the school at eleven and I was in a
Speaker 1: hurry because of the schedule. I hadn't had any breakfast,
Speaker 1: so I made a little pit stop at home after
Speaker 1: the school just to run into the kitchen and I
Speaker 1: made myself one of the best creations that came Did
Speaker 1: this really come from England? The English muffin? Oh, the
Speaker 1: English muffins is solid. You know, I'm not a breakfast eater.
Speaker 1: But when I do eat breakfast, I enjoyed the English muffin. Dude,
Speaker 1: solid books and cranny whoever invented those little taste And
Speaker 1: of course you know right you're supposed to separate the
Speaker 1: two only with a fork or with your hands. You
Speaker 1: do not use a knife. Okay, is that the rule?
Speaker 1: I didn't know that that is the rule because it
Speaker 1: messes up those nooks and crannies. So I got this,
Speaker 1: uh well done. I made sure to toast it nice
Speaker 1: and crispy, peanut butter on one side, some peach jam
Speaker 1: on the other side, rapid and tinfoil, and run to
Speaker 1: the car with my computer bag and headphones and everything else,
Speaker 1: off onto the road to get onto the freeway. Now,
Speaker 1: let's pause right here, Danny, because I have I'm breaking
Speaker 1: news here before you continue story number one? Do you
Speaker 1: know who Samuel Bath Thomas is? I used to play
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Raiders in the nineties. He did. He
Speaker 1: also is an Englishman who is credited with creating the
Speaker 1: English muffin. All He migrated to the United States and,
Speaker 1: according to my Internet research, sold the first Thomas English
Speaker 1: muffin in eighteen eighties. So you're the English muffin is
Speaker 1: over a hundred and forty years old, and he is
Speaker 1: credited as the inventor. As you said, the nook and cranny, Uh,
Speaker 1: an American newspaper was the one that came up with
Speaker 1: the term English muffin, and because I guess it sounds
Speaker 1: better than grittle cake, so that was the other option.
Speaker 1: So we'd like to thank the very much dead Samuel
Speaker 1: Bath Thomas and his descendants for giving the world the
Speaker 1: gift of the English muffin. And we'd also like to
Speaker 1: thank a newspaper for coming up with it. That is,
Speaker 1: that is wonderful. And he just was experimenting in the
Speaker 1: in the kitchen and realized that the the the crumpets
Speaker 1: grittle cakes made with Richard dough and cooked only on
Speaker 1: one side, and that expanded the bubbles to form a honeycomb.
Speaker 1: So there you go, crazy, I'm sorry, but yeah, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm glad I learned that. What an invention. They've been
Speaker 1: a staple in the g household since I was a
Speaker 1: little kid. The Garrett del he's really fond of that
Speaker 1: guy's work. Yeah, I had those two when I was
Speaker 1: a kid, and I didn't any a lot of breakfast.
Speaker 1: My mom would like try to get Mid East stuff,
Speaker 1: but that was one. I would go for buttered English
Speaker 1: muffin solid and jelly. You can go with jelly as
Speaker 1: well either way. Yeah, my mom would put that on
Speaker 1: the kitchen table with some cantaloupe and she'd be like,
Speaker 1: shut up, there's your breakfast. So so I, you know,
Speaker 1: flashing back to a quick breakfast, my mom would serve,
Speaker 1: I have the English muffin, peanut butter jam, wrap it
Speaker 1: up in tinfoil, really quick. Run to the car, and
Speaker 1: I'm at a stoplight before I get to the freeway
Speaker 1: on ramp. You know, I don't like eating in the
Speaker 1: car that much. You're you probably are similar. My wife
Speaker 1: loves eating in the car, and it tries me nuts
Speaker 1: because there's always like little food pieces. I hate that.
Speaker 1: I hate that. I don't like it either. I don't
Speaker 1: like the feeling of crumbs on my shirt or shorts.
Speaker 1: I don't like I don't like to have sticky hands
Speaker 1: on the wheel. It all bothers me. But I was
Speaker 1: so hungry that I had to make an exception, so
Speaker 1: I pulled out the little thing of hand sanitizer. I
Speaker 1: pulled out a napkin, and I was like, Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna just try to eat this while I'm on my way,
Speaker 1: because I had a forty minute drive to the studio.
Speaker 1: Unwrapped the tinfoil, I'm all ready to go take a
Speaker 1: bite of the English muffin. And I get some peanut
Speaker 1: butter on my face, get in your face, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh man, so I'm like trying to get it off
Speaker 1: my face. I get the paper towel. I you know,
Speaker 1: I have it on my thumb. I'm like, my hands
Speaker 1: are clean now from the hand sanitizers. Think about going
Speaker 1: back home and getting your dog to clean off the
Speaker 1: clean it off my hand, and and I'm kind of
Speaker 1: a mess because now it's like, you know, my hands
Speaker 1: are sticky. I have crumbs on my shirt. I realized
Speaker 1: I've been at this red stoplight for a little while.
Speaker 1: I happened to look over to my right and sitting
Speaker 1: right next to me. You've seen these trucks in Orange County.
Speaker 1: I'm sure the ones that are sitting up high, yes, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: So to the right of me is this gentleman in
Speaker 1: a truck staring at me, and he gives me a
Speaker 1: thumbs up and this look of wow, you're really going
Speaker 1: at that English muffin, buddy, he's relating you. Danny's like,
Speaker 1: I've been there, man, I know sometimes you just gotta
Speaker 1: go for it in life. You gotta go the veil going. No,
Speaker 1: that's not the look he gave me. Look he gave
Speaker 1: me was dude, have you ever missed the meal you
Speaker 1: so he gave you? I've gotten that look before. You're
Speaker 1: a fatass? What are you a pig? Oink oink oink
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. I pity the fool that doesn't
Speaker 1: give me my burto thumbs up, you fat pig eating
Speaker 1: that peanut butter English muffin at the stoplight. Well, that's
Speaker 1: no good. That's that's no good. The week did not
Speaker 1: get off to a good start, at least for the
Speaker 1: travel there to the studio, so I felt ashamed. I
Speaker 1: put the rest of the English muffin away and its tinfoil,
Speaker 1: cleaned my hands and tried to act like this never happened.
Speaker 1: My lips have been on it, I'm sure. Man. All right,
Speaker 1: So are you gonna eat again in the car? Now?
Speaker 1: Is that the you know? Unless I'm completely alone in
Speaker 1: the middle of South Dakota on the roads there by
Speaker 1: myself now, one week into the Caveno and Rich experience,
Speaker 1: have you figured out your schedule? Is it still up
Speaker 1: in the air. You still navigating that part because in
Speaker 1: radio things change rapidly, but you have another gig and
Speaker 1: so it becomes a big problem. It was two hours
Speaker 1: before the show, so I was in there at noon,
Speaker 1: and then two hours after the show I was leaving
Speaker 1: at six pm. So it seems like six solid hours alright,
Speaker 1: So let me I'm doing the math on this. And
Speaker 1: so you start out at the school, you then leave
Speaker 1: to go to the radio, You then go back to
Speaker 1: the school. No, no, no, if the school schedule, I
Speaker 1: am still trying to sort through, but at least for
Speaker 1: now I'm going to help them out in the morning. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a long day, um because I started at
Speaker 1: six thirty am and I ended at six pm. Got
Speaker 1: you first world problems because I've been unemployed before, like
Speaker 1: a lot of radio people. I've been fired from radio jobs,
Speaker 1: like a lot of good radio people. And this is
Speaker 1: a way or issue to have than when you're on
Speaker 1: the beach looking for a paycheck. No, it is. And
Speaker 1: I've had a couple of friends that have lost radio
Speaker 1: gigs over the last couple of months, one of my buddies,
Speaker 1: he reached out to me. I will not say who who,
Speaker 1: because I don't know that he wants this information out there,
Speaker 1: but he told me he agreed. He just signed a contract.
Speaker 1: It is not official officially, he's going through lawyers. But
Speaker 1: he was bragging to me, Danny that this guy he
Speaker 1: did a five day a week radio show at a
Speaker 1: pretty popular radio station, and he's he's partnered up with
Speaker 1: someone on a podcast, and there's somebody with a lot
Speaker 1: of venture capital who bought the podcast. He's gonna make
Speaker 1: more from a one hour podcast a week than he
Speaker 1: was making doing five days of radio. And he was
Speaker 1: bragging to me. I said, come on, schmuck, Okay, I
Speaker 1: don't need to hear about that, Okay, you I had
Speaker 1: to hear some stories like that, though, because you always
Speaker 1: hear that works smarter, not harder. Works smarter or not harder,
Speaker 1: but it in some industries it's not really possible. You
Speaker 1: have to kind of ride the wave and go with
Speaker 1: the flow. You can't demand new hours. Yeah, and the
Speaker 1: podcast thing is going to level out. It's it's early
Speaker 1: on and a lot of companies look at that as cool. Radio,
Speaker 1: it's kind of old and podcasting school and all. That's
Speaker 1: not even radio anymore, right, it's audio now. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: got rid of the word radio. That's taboo, that's ore boating.
Speaker 1: You can't say the radio canceled. You're you're not audio
Speaker 1: your radio, you're canceled exactly. But it's one of those things.
Speaker 1: My theory on this is that it'll go back. It's
Speaker 1: kind of kind of like they're people that still collect
Speaker 1: typewriters and they're they're into that, or or maybe the
Speaker 1: better example would be with music. Oh, turn tables, yeah, turntables. Right,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of young people that in their entire
Speaker 1: life they never experienced turntables as a kid or anything
Speaker 1: like that, and they're still kids, are teenagers, are in
Speaker 1: college and they want to get turntables. They want to
Speaker 1: get vinyl. Yeah. Or his birthday, our middle kid, I
Speaker 1: bought him one of those portable turntables that also connects
Speaker 1: to bluetooth. Yeah. I got him the slip matt for it,
Speaker 1: and I bought him his very first piece of vinyl,
Speaker 1: which was a Travis Scott LP so new music on
Speaker 1: old school record on vinyl, which can't beat that. Man,
Speaker 1: Vintage comes to life. Yeah, that's pretty cool. And the
Speaker 1: thing about radio, I'm biased. We're both by we work
Speaker 1: on radio, and this is a podcast. We're trashing podcast
Speaker 1: while doing a podcast. I'm not trashing a podcast. I
Speaker 1: think a podcast is great. But the thing the podcast
Speaker 1: cannot do is the immediacy be doing it live. And
Speaker 1: some people try to do podcast live and whatever, but
Speaker 1: most people listen to a podcast listen at their convenience, right,
Speaker 1: and we put the podcast up in the morning, and
Speaker 1: there are people that might listen this is we're doing
Speaker 1: this on a Saturday podcast, but there's people might listen
Speaker 1: on Monday or Tuesday. There's a very communal aspect when
Speaker 1: you listen to live radio. It's not doing what we
Speaker 1: do talk radio overnight. I'm on during the day of
Speaker 1: the show you're working on. But to me, there's something
Speaker 1: special about that. Maybe it's I'm old, but there's something
Speaker 1: cool that whatever you're doing, whatever pathetic thing you've got
Speaker 1: going on in your life, you're listening to somebody and
Speaker 1: they're also alive and they're breathing and they're keeping your company.
Speaker 1: And I still think there's something special about that. And
Speaker 1: I'm probably dating myself and I'll get canceled for this,
Speaker 1: but that's the way I feel. That, that's the way
Speaker 1: I feel. No, I think a lot of people would
Speaker 1: agree with you. And that's why we have the best
Speaker 1: of both worlds. I love the fact that we can
Speaker 1: record and then also have the opportunity to be live.
Speaker 1: If somebody asked you what would be your perfect scenario
Speaker 1: and broadcasting, I think right now in two going into
Speaker 1: that would be it podcasting and live radio. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: don't want to pigeonhole yourself in one or the other.
Speaker 1: You'd like to do a little bit of both. And
Speaker 1: so we're pretty lucky on that. And don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: I love the people that listen to the radio show
Speaker 1: on the podcas Yes, and there are some days we
Speaker 1: actually have to find more people download the podcast and
Speaker 1: listen to the live show because of the timing and
Speaker 1: all that that we're on late at night. But anyway,
Speaker 1: that's my ranting and Raven we have the back scratcher.
Speaker 1: The back scratcher, you scratch our back, We scratch your back.
Speaker 1: Our weekly tip of the headphones and the microphones to
Speaker 1: the loyal minions who have been speaking of podcast listeners
Speaker 1: going to the podcast page, the Apple podcast page for
Speaker 1: the fifth hour, and we don't really understand why, but
Speaker 1: management does check this, and the people that run the
Speaker 1: podcast department at I Heart do check these reviews. So
Speaker 1: we go to the podcast page. And you want the
Speaker 1: good news of the bad news, Danny, what do you want?
Speaker 1: Always start with the bad first. Alright, The bad news
Speaker 1: is we have pitched a shutout this week. Not a
Speaker 1: single review this week, not a single review. Damn it.
Speaker 1: How could there be any good news? Well, the good
Speaker 1: news is we still have a very high rating on
Speaker 1: the Apple podcast because no one's trashed us, so we
Speaker 1: we still are doing pretty well there. And I think
Speaker 1: we're four point eight if I'm reading this accurately. I
Speaker 1: want to throw a flag on that though, because it
Speaker 1: was four point nine for months and months and months
Speaker 1: and months and all we've been receiving, thankfully, our five
Speaker 1: star ratings. So how did it go down to a
Speaker 1: four point eight? Yeah? I have no idea because pretty
Speaker 1: much all of the bad ratings we got where when
Speaker 1: I was doing the stuff with Gascon and we were
Speaker 1: doing like political stuff and people are losing their mind.
Speaker 1: Didn't agree with us politically, and they would get all upset.
Speaker 1: But we haven't done that. We've really stayed away from
Speaker 1: that for the most part. We moved on from that.
Speaker 1: We did a lot of that during COVID. On the podcast,
Speaker 1: we do political stuff and we haven't done that. And
Speaker 1: so yeah, I don't I don't get it. It makes
Speaker 1: no sense. That's just one point. But you could help
Speaker 1: the overall score by going in there and writing review.
Speaker 1: Just click on the scription of this very podcast and
Speaker 1: you'll see the link in the description, it says Tom
Speaker 1: rate review, subscribe. Click on that link. Page down a
Speaker 1: little bit, you'll see that big overall score and then
Speaker 1: it says write a review and you just click on
Speaker 1: that to make a user name. Yeah, and it's very
Speaker 1: so we have a few. This is the time we
Speaker 1: would we would give you love right now if you
Speaker 1: had done it last week, we would give you love,
Speaker 1: and we'll be sitting here waxing poetic reading your words.
Speaker 1: But we don't have that, and so we'll move on.
Speaker 1: Let's get scientifical. Damn me a little time, let's go.
Speaker 1: I've done this a long time, so this is a tribute.
Speaker 1: There's a show I used to love called The Bullshit
Speaker 1: and it was hosted by Penn and Teller, and they
Speaker 1: would look at some certain things and says that real bullshit.
Speaker 1: Well this is based on that, But we're gonna do
Speaker 1: scientifical which is studies and surveys and things like that,
Speaker 1: and then we'll say is this something that we believe
Speaker 1: in or do you think this is bull ship? So
Speaker 1: here we go. Seventies six percent of Americans say they
Speaker 1: feel guilty whenever they do this. What do you think
Speaker 1: it is Danny masturbate? Uh no, hey, I don't think
Speaker 1: it's that high on masturbation and be that's not the answer.
Speaker 1: The answer is throw away food. Okay, yeah, so this
Speaker 1: is something I actually do feel guilty. My wife, I'm
Speaker 1: happy to report, does not feel guilty. She at the
Speaker 1: first sign of an expiration date, possibly being close right
Speaker 1: to the trash. And I try to explain to the
Speaker 1: misses there, I said, listen, that's just an estimation. It's
Speaker 1: a gut estimation. It's not accurate. And we're wasting a
Speaker 1: lot of money throwing away food that we could still
Speaker 1: be eating because of some date that is on the package.
Speaker 1: And uh and what is your position on that? Damn?
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm with you. We match on this. When
Speaker 1: I first integrated with my chicken her family, I had
Speaker 1: to get used to seeing some of them throw food away,
Speaker 1: and that was weird because where I come from, you
Speaker 1: throw nothing away. You save everything, and you repurpose every
Speaker 1: leftover possible and the whole There are kids starving in Ethiopia, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but my mom would be like, there are kids starving
Speaker 1: down the street here in Rialto. She didn't have to
Speaker 1: point to Ethiopia. So I always joke, and I always
Speaker 1: tell my girls kids, Hey, there are starving kids in Recita, California,
Speaker 1: so you better package that up and save it for later. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it does. It tries me nuts, and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, what are we doing? You know? And then
Speaker 1: we gotta go back and buy the same stuff, and
Speaker 1: the same stuff is not gonna be eating. And now
Speaker 1: I'm saying that you look at the food and you
Speaker 1: you do the smell and the either the smell on
Speaker 1: the eyeball test. Is there any kind of fur growing
Speaker 1: on the food? Is there an odd smell from the food,
Speaker 1: And as long as it conforms to the standards, then
Speaker 1: you go for it. I understand throwing things that are
Speaker 1: rotten or of course outdated away. Yeah, that makes sense,
Speaker 1: and my girl has gotten a lot better with this
Speaker 1: over the past couple of years. When somebody makes a
Speaker 1: big plate and they make their plate too large, I
Speaker 1: don't think you should be able to throw your leftover
Speaker 1: food away because your eyes were too big for your stomach. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm, I'm right there. You gotta eat all those
Speaker 1: cheesy hash browns. You know, you got to. Even if
Speaker 1: you took committed you gotta even all right. Next up
Speaker 1: on Scientifical, people who identify as being positive thinkers are
Speaker 1: more likely to have this on their desk at work.
Speaker 1: Positive thinking cocaine, bunch of hookers and cocaine. Well, that
Speaker 1: would be interesting. N G. I'm surprised that's not the answer.
Speaker 1: The correct answer, according to this is a radio listening
Speaker 1: to music. Okay, shout out radio. I saw that we
Speaker 1: were just talking about live radio. Next up on Scientifical,
Speaker 1: only of couples share this. What do you think it is? Well,
Speaker 1: that is likely a higher percentage or lower percentage. I
Speaker 1: should say, Uh. The number here is a bank account. Okay,
Speaker 1: bank account. There's always a dicey conversation when you get
Speaker 1: into a yeah mixture and a rich tapestry of a relationship. Well,
Speaker 1: now you just use zel or venmo to share funds. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can can do that. But when you're coalescing and
Speaker 1: you have to decide which direction you want to go,
Speaker 1: and some people are very protective other people that have
Speaker 1: col that's not that's a big word, right, Oh it is.
Speaker 1: I was going to give you that's a twenty word.
Speaker 1: I'm very proud of that. Trying to add some new
Speaker 1: words to my lexicon, trying to I think that's good.
Speaker 1: All right, Next up? Seven percent of Americans have never
Speaker 1: been here. Seven I've never been here? Where is the shower?
Speaker 1: I wish it was only seven percent, but higher than
Speaker 1: that on the shower. But it does involve water, Danny.
Speaker 1: Seven percent of Americans have never been to a beach?
Speaker 1: Ever been to a beach? Are those all people living
Speaker 1: in South Dakota, Iowa, Wyoming. Yeah, you go to assume
Speaker 1: far away from the east and the west coast, But
Speaker 1: can't you go to a beach, Like if you go
Speaker 1: to a lake, it's a beach, isn't it. It's not
Speaker 1: technically it's not a beach. It needs the water needs
Speaker 1: to be moving and it needs to be saltwater. Oh
Speaker 1: those are rules? Are you sure? I think so? You're
Speaker 1: making that up. I made it up. Just google it.
Speaker 1: Just google rules of a beach. Because I've been in
Speaker 1: Chicago and I look out. I was just in Chicago
Speaker 1: this year. You go out and look at Lake Michigan
Speaker 1: and Chicago. You're telling me that's not a beach when
Speaker 1: you're walking around there. I know it's not an ocean.
Speaker 1: I get it. I understand that. But to me, that's
Speaker 1: a beach. And on the weekends when the weather's got
Speaker 1: nice in Chicago in the summertime, people are going down
Speaker 1: to the beach. They're enjoying the beach. Or when I
Speaker 1: was in Wisconsin at Lake Winnebago, it's a beach. It's
Speaker 1: a lake, but it's a beach, beach, it is a beach.
Speaker 1: What qualifies as a beach, as a beach beach is
Speaker 1: a narrow, gently sloping strip of land that lies along
Speaker 1: the edge of an ocean, lake or river. There you go, wow, Well,
Speaker 1: so you're telling me they've never even been to a
Speaker 1: lake or a river. That's how How is it possible?
Speaker 1: Because as I understand it, the human species needs water
Speaker 1: to survive, and so pretty much all of the population
Speaker 1: is based around water, like the people live near bodies
Speaker 1: of water. In fact, I mentioned this on the radio
Speaker 1: show I'll mentioned this in passing quickly. I don't have
Speaker 1: too much time left. But there was a documentary I
Speaker 1: watched last weekend and it pointed out that back in
Speaker 1: the eighteen hundreds, when America was still early on and
Speaker 1: people were the big move to the west from the
Speaker 1: east to the west, and they were taking over the
Speaker 1: land in the western part of the United States, there
Speaker 1: was a scientist that recommended in Washington, d c. Spoke
Speaker 1: in front of Congress. He said, here's the way we
Speaker 1: need to do this. We need to have the population
Speaker 1: centers based around where the water is. And because humans
Speaker 1: need water and there's not a ton of water. How
Speaker 1: the funk they knew this? This guy knew this in
Speaker 1: the eighteen fifty or whatever. It's insane to me. They
Speaker 1: didn't know technology the way they have now. But this
Speaker 1: guy spoke with Native Americans and he found out the
Speaker 1: lay of the land and where the water wasn't all
Speaker 1: that and so nonetheless, uh, he told them this, and
Speaker 1: the political class at the time said, screw you, Who're
Speaker 1: not gonna do this, and so what you have is
Speaker 1: you have states that are based where two states are
Speaker 1: fighting for water, you know, in multiple locations in the
Speaker 1: Western United States. You also have something I didn't know about.
Speaker 1: There's this dead zone which goes from it's like midway
Speaker 1: through Texas and it goes to Colorado, like the whole
Speaker 1: middle part of the country where there's not a lot
Speaker 1: of population because there's not a lot of water and
Speaker 1: nothing really grows there that well, so it's a it's
Speaker 1: an interesting documentary. I don't know, I got sidetracked on
Speaker 1: that was way ahead of his time, just like the
Speaker 1: guy who invent to the English muffins, Yes, the great
Speaker 1: English muffin. If there's one thing you take away from
Speaker 1: this podcast, it's Samuel bath Thomas, an Englishman who migrated
Speaker 1: to the United States, and aren't we grateful for the
Speaker 1: English moment. You know what they call English muffins in
Speaker 1: England A muffing from down the street. I'm muffing from
Speaker 1: Downstay all right, we'll get out on that, Danny. Anything
Speaker 1: at all to promote here, anything at all you would
Speaker 1: like to toss out into the ethos. Yes, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be driving back to the studios. Eleven am Pacific time,
Speaker 1: when the Jonas Knock Show starts for Saturday. Two hours
Speaker 1: of fun, two guys is enough for me. And then
Speaker 1: right after that Steve Hartman and E from Salon. So
Speaker 1: that is your day today and I will be back tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We spruce up the podcast at the mail Bag and
Speaker 1: then back on radio on Sunday. Enjoy the college football today,
Speaker 1: and don't forget Benny versus the Penny still available. Get
Speaker 1: it Walt's hot, Get it Walt's Hot, and we will
Speaker 1: talk to you next time later, Skater to make funny go.
Speaker 1: What do you think about the Wizards
