1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:01,440
Speaker 1: Kubbooms.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: Wow.

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.

9
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.

10
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with me, Ben

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: Maller and Danny g Radio. We're hanging out with you

12
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: on an NFL Saturday. A couple of games later today

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: as we are doing this here early in the morning,

14
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: but the NFL will be back the final weekend of

15
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: the NFL for the regular season, and so the last

16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: chance to watch terrible teams play football today though we've

17
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: got the Brownies and the Ravens. That is a massive

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: point spread. The Ravens huge favorites in that game against Cleveland,

19
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: and then later on at Bailey Zappi Zappie Mania for

20
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: the Browns. Great, great for them, unless it's not. And

21
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: then the Bengals and the Steelers, and that game is

22
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: the late game, and I am planning a malor friend

23
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: hangout to watch the games.

24
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: Oh, the Ravens. That point spread has moved up to

25
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 3: twenty one and a half points.

26
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is good because when we did the show

27
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: and everything stops, when we did the Betty versus the Penny,

28
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: it was like seventeen and a half was the point spread.

29
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: So and I took I actually laid the points with

30
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: the Ravens. This is one of those games the Ravens

31
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: should win, like forty one to ten or something like that. Right,

32
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: the only question is, well, you know, somebody gets hurt

33
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: that obviously screws things up or something. This is the Browns.

34
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: They're three and thirteen for obvious reasons. And some of

35
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: the key guys are going to be playing I don't know.

36
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: And then the Bengals and Stuards, as we mentioned now

37
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: on this podcast, and we will celebrate National Trivia Day,

38
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: and I still do trivia on the show. And I

39
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: found some fun facts about National Trivia Day that the

40
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: first book of Trivia is only about one hundred years old,

41
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: little over one hundred years old, nineteen twenty. The book

42
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: Trivialities Bits of Information of Little Consequence. What. Yeah, it

43
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: was a one hundred and five years ago. That was

44
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: the first one, and the ones that we remember probably

45
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: damn we were little those bathroom reader remember the bathroom readers.

46
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 4: Oh, of course, all our grandparents had those.

47
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: You sit on there. And I remember when when I was,

48
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, dating myself, but when Trivial Pursuit came out,

49
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, this is mind boy.

50
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: But that was back when people actually played board games

51
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: and it became really really popular.

52
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have this tradition at the g House where

53
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 3: every holiday, my wife he takes out a whole bunch

54
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 3: of board games and none of them get used.

55
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's about right, that's about right. I do

56
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: recall because we didn't have no on TV, so Hollis

57
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: we would play. We would play board games, and some

58
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: of them, my memories of them are romantic and great.

59
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: But I also I know there are memories that I

60
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: have buried of playing Monopoly.

61
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 4: In the game.

62
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: You know, it was just a shit show. I know that.

63
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 4: I know that.

64
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's certain board games where there was always

65
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 3: a family member screaming and crying and running out of

66
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 3: the room.

67
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, we are planning this week and this is a

68
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: podcast exclusive, a Fifth Hour.

69
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 4: Exclusive, but watch out now.

70
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: I was going to just a couple weeks ago, and

71
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: it was actually the recommendation of an emailer to this podcast,

72
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: so I was like, ah, you know what, I think

73
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: we'll do it. And so this is supposed to be

74
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: the week. We're still working out some of the kinks here,

75
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: but the plan is Tommy, since he Tommy, and we're

76
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: gonna play the game, are you smarter than the FSR

77
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: Tech Queen? And we will we will ask These are

78
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: not sports questions, Danny, but there'll be questions much like

79
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: the TV show Basic first, second, third, fourth, fifth grade questions,

80
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: And who do you think is smarter the random callers

81
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: to overnight talk radio or Lorraine Uh. Now, we're not

82
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: gonna give her the answers. She's gonna have to come

83
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: up with the answers on her own. But who will

84
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: do better? That's the question we'll find out. I'm not

85
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: sure what night we'll play at one of these nights,

86
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: so this is gonna be good, probably early.

87
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 4: In the week.

88
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: I'm thinking early in the week. So I saved some

89
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: things yesterday we're here. I was here barking away and

90
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: you were you were on assignment, So there were some

91
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: things I didn't get to I was away for a

92
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: few days. I think I took a total like five

93
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: days over the two, you know, three weeks I think

94
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: I was. I was here for most of the most

95
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: of the shows. I'm not a numbers guy, but that

96
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to add up. We got family business, the

97
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: Pink Eye, pal Anti Yankees, and Late Night Munchies with

98
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: a surprise Late Night MUNCHI is a surprise that we'll

99
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: get a lot of lots of stuff to get you.

100
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: We'll start with this though. So where did I go

101
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: on my time away? I was debating, do I go

102
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: out of town? Do I stay in town? Had I

103
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: couldn't really go that far because we're still doing the

104
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: TV shows, so I only had a couple of days

105
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: to play with. But we ended up making the drive

106
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: from LA. We left LA at six point thirty at

107
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: night on I think it was a Thursday, and drove

108
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: to San Francisco from from LA and we got there.

109
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: We stopped a few times. I think we got three

110
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: in the more on day driving through it was raining,

111
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: it was raining in central California. But we went to

112
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: San Francisco.

113
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 4: Washed away all the homeless that's there.

114
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: Oh, no, no, they were still of course I did

115
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: not stand the Tenderloin district, but it wasn't much better

116
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: over in Fisherman's Wharf where we were staying. I told

117
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: my wife, so listen, and I actually like San Francisco.

118
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: It's cool city to visit. Beautiful city, the skyline, the bridges,

119
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's really beautiful, but it's it's also a shithole.

120
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: And so like I'm like, why don't we stay outside

121
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: the city, And then it's probably cheaper, it's safer, we

122
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: don't have to worry much about as much about our

123
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: car getting broken into, and then we can drive into

124
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: the city and take our chances and all that. And

125
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: but my father in law actually drove up separately and

126
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: he wanted to stay in the Fisherman's Wharf area. Uh

127
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: so that's where we stayed. And the reason we went

128
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: there is my brother in law bought a new house,

129
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: makes a lot of money, works for the big internet company,

130
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: one of the big internet companies up there, and he's,

131
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: you know, he's obviously doing very well because, as you know, Danny,

132
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: real estate in the Bay Area very very cheap, right, very.

133
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, And if you work for one of those big

134
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 3: tech companies similar to radio money.

135
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, very.

136
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: Similar and unless it's not. And yeah, he's telling me,

137
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if I should say which internet company

138
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: works for it's not you know, I don't know if

139
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: he wants that out there. You don't know who he is,

140
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: but it doesn't really matter. But he's like, oh, yeah,

141
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: they like provide us free food.

142
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 4: What is it rhyme with?

143
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: Oh, it rhymes with Google is what it rhymes with.

144
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, so and those those Waymo things all over

145
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: the Bay Area that that took a little getting used to.

146
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: They have the those are creepy, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,

147
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: those things were all over the place. Those self driving cars,

148
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: the automated cars, the way Mos. I think they're Google.

149
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: I think that's a Google product.

150
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 4: I believe, I think so.

151
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were all over the place, and so we

152
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: spent a couple of days there. I did have an

153
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: opportunity in Nanny to go somewhere I had wanted to go.

154
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: I watch a lot of these YouTube travel vlogs because

155
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm a loser and that's what I do. And I

156
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: think we talked about it on this podcast a while back.

157
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: There's a taco bell on the beach. I think we

158
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: talked about this. I feel like we did. Maybe we didn't.

159
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just imagining that we talked about this.

160
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 3: And no, no, we've referenced it on the podcast before

161
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: in Pacifica.

162
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, So now my brother in law lives

163
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: in He just bought a house, not in Pacifica. However,

164
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: I had this serendipitous moment. So we were at his

165
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: house and we went out like a little diner. More

166
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: on that in a minute. And we went out to

167
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: the diner and for some reason, I said, I think

168
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: this is within a few miles of that taco bell

169
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: that looked very similar to the videos that I had seen,

170
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: and so I brought it up in first day. Immediately, Yes,

171
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: right down the road theready come on. Everyone knows where

172
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: that taco bell is. So we we went there. I

173
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: went to the taco bell on the beach in Pacifica

174
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: and walked around.

175
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 4: And uh, it was.

176
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: It was really awesome. It was cool. I mean as

177
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: cool as a taco bell can beat.

178
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 4: Andy. I don't want to get to taco bell with

179
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 4: a view.

180
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: But I did look at the prices. I was like, well,

181
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: this is on the beach and they must be charging like,

182
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: you know, eight dollars a taco or something as the

183
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: same prices as every other taco. Bell just happened to

184
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: be that you walk outside, they have like a little deck,

185
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: and then there's the Pacific Ocean.

186
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 4: Diarrhea on the sand.

187
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, just go, you just go in the ocean and uh,

188
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: you know, God God's toilet right there in the ocean,

189
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: and knock yourself out. So I was only in San

190
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: Francisco for a couple of days. We then we I

191
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: think it was Saturday afternoon. We had you know, we'll

192
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: get together Saturday afternoon and then hit the road and

193
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: traveled well. We stopped in Los Gato's briefly because my

194
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: mother in law wanted to stop at a bakery of

195
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: all things. And then we drove down to San Louis Obispo,

196
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: which is a three hour drive three and a half whatever.

197
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: So we drove to San Luis Obispo to meet some

198
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: other family that were driving up from La or like,

199
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: spend the day with them. So we hung out. Now

200
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: this whole trip, Danny, there was one thing. I can

201
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: say this because none of these people listen to this podcast.

202
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: So I feel like I'm safe. I'm in the Safe Harbor.

203
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: My brother in law and my father in law both

204
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: took their dogs with themf earf So that meant every

205
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: restaurant we went to we had to sit outside. It's

206
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: late December in the Bay Area. It was kind of rainy.

207
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: I was like, what they got some bone chilling and

208
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 3: cold too.

209
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 4: People don't realize it.

210
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it's not so col It gets chili.

211
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: And so we're sitting outside. I'm like, oh, what are

212
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: we doing?

213
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 4: You know?

214
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Danny, I think we both look

215
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: at restaurants. We like them, but when we look at

216
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: the prices, we get a little a little crazy, right,

217
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: So and my whole thing is that we're going to

218
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: spend that money on food. I want a good experience

219
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: and I want I want to not freeze my ass

220
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: off while I'm eating my potatoes. And anyway, it was,

221
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: it was interesting. So we had to find restaurants, and

222
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: a lot of restaurants didn't have outdoor seating or you know,

223
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: is this that and the other thing? The restaurants we

224
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: wanted to go to, So it was a bit of

225
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: a yeah.

226
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 3: And then I had this other yeah at that price point,

227
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 3: A waitress should come out, sit on your lap to

228
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 3: keep you warm.

229
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: Lap dance. So and at that point we're in San

230
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: Luis Obispo and this gets very awkward. So my niece

231
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: and nephew kids say the darness things. So my niece

232
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: and nephew drove up from LA to me. All right,

233
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: this is my sister in law. So everyone's together, right,

234
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: everyone's together. We're in the hotel, we're sitting there. They

235
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 1: come in to say hello. I say hello to uncle Benny.

236
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: And the TV was on and we're trying to find

237
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: something to watch and couldn't really find it on TV.

238
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: And then my niece, God bless her, she did something

239
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: that made me very uncomfortable. Danny, very very uncomfortable. She's reading,

240
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: She's like eight years old. She's reading the screen, right,

241
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: and she's like, hey, uncle Benny, that's your TV show.

242
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: Let's watch it. Danny. The last thing I want to do, okay,

243
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: the last thing I want to do is sit in

244
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: a room with my in laws and watch the TV show. Hey.

245
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: I love them. They don't know anything about sports. They're

246
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: not sports people, right, that's number one. Number two. You

247
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: know they're going to watch that and it's going to

248
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: be very awkward. We're uncomfortable because they're going to ask

249
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: more questions. And that's exactly what happened.

250
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 4: Oh no turned into a Q and a oh yeah, so.

251
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: Are you beating the penny? No, I'm not beating the pen?

252
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: How are you not beating the penny? It's do you

253
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: wear that same hat every week? Exactly?

254
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 2: Well?

255
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: Why why are you wearing a pull over? You don't

256
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: usually wear that? What's up with that one?

257
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 4: You know?

258
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 3: Do you?

00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 4: How's a professional? Do your makeup?

260
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: How much? Exactly? How much do you get paid for

261
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: that show?

262
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 4: Really?

263
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: Oh?

Speaker 1: Universal? Can I go with you? You know that whole?

266
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: So that was and I love my niece and nephew. Really,

267
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: my nephew had pink eye and was barfing five years old.

268
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: He's so sick, but he had a great attitude. You know,

269
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: puke can get up and just start start rolling along

270
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: there and doing his thing. But I took my niece

271
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 1: to the famous you've been there, I know, Danny Bubblegum

272
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 1: Alley in San Luis Obispo. People it's a landmark. You

273
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: just put their used bubblegum all over the place. And

274
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: I think I must spend more time in Saint Louibiths,

275
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: but it's cool. I've been there many times. We stop

Speaker 1: by the Madonna in the famous hotel there, very Gautti

277
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,440

278
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: giants hats when I was in northern California. I don't

279
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: blame them. I don't blame them. Although there are some

280
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: people that I think are anti Yankees in the Bay,

281
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: which is good, right, because we're anti Yankees because we're

282
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: Dodger peak.

283
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I might want to call this anti Dodgers.

284
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 4: I'll explain.

285
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,760

00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 3: I don't Yeah, I know that's called either because I

324
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,040

325
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 3: But their Twitter handle is there. So that made me think, oh, well,

00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 3: Well, I've had it up since the Dodgers had cutouts.

331
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's.

332
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 4: My Dodger cutout that was at the stadium.

333
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 3: You think, oh, is this anti Dodger because why the

334
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,080

335
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,400

336
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, so hey, I'm not going to change my profile

337
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 3: picture for anybody.

338
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: Last question, good question. Are you going to try to

339
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: get Trump on again? You got him on as you

340
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: mentioned with Clay Travis. I see that's on your you

341
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: have that pin to the top of your You're yeah,

342
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: are you going to try to get Trump on again?

343
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: Now he's back as the president.

344
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 4: In Uh, what is it?

345
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: The sixteen days right, the sixteen days away from that?

346
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: Unless they put him in jail, he'll be back.

347
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 3: I mean, he obviously fit on Clay Travis's show, And

348
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 3: I think anybody on our network would like to have

349
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 3: a sitting president on the air. But I'm not exactly sure.

350
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 3: Covino and Rich would have fun talking to him, but

351
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 3: they don't talk any politics on their show. Yeah, it

352
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 3: would definitely be out of left field on their program.

353
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: I got you, Yeah, I would. I would love to

354
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: have a have a president. Yeah, I even put Biden on.

355
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: I don't care. I mean, he wouldn't know he was on,

356
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: but I'd put him on.

357
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 4: You know.

358
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 3: Oh man, that poor guy, that speech he recently gave.

359
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: What a mess.

360
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I look, I'm.

361
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 3: Gonna play the long game here like I did with

362
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 3: the Tyson team. But I'm not sure what to say

363
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 3: back to this lady. I didn't say anything back yet,

364
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 3: So any advice on the reply?

365
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: Uh? Yes, well, why don't we Why don't we get

366
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: back when he gets back to spring training? You know,

367
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: why don't we? Yeah, well, well the next month in

368
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: spring training, will we'll pursue this? You know, how about.

369
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 4: That and ps, sorry my Dodgers kicked your sorry ass Uh.

370
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing too, like like a lot of

371
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: those pr people heate doing in the heat, requesting players

372
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 1: in the off season doing any interviews. So that's just

373
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: like a no non starter. But then I've learned also

374
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: in spring training, well it was very busy in the

375
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: spring training, which is by the way, Bullshoy Danny. I.

376
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: I've been to spring training with baseball teams over the years.

377
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: Normally what happens in the morning, Yeah, they're a little

378
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: busy and all that for a few hours they work out,

379
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: but even when the spring training games are going on,

380
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: they get one or two at batch and they're out

381
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: of there by an hour into the game and they're

382
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: on the golf course. So it's not the most grueling life.

383
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm not sure by that, but you will

384
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: if you This is the next one I met on

385
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: this show. Remember we wanted Brian Billick and we finally

386
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: our standard was Brian Billick and we got Blick on.

387
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: You know this, this reminds me the story of I

388
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: worked with the great Chris Meyer. So I need to

389
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: get on this podcast. And Chris, because he hosted that show.

390
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: Was it called up Close or something like that?

391
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 4: Yes, I remember that show.

392
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: Chris had the most ridiculous we call it roll the

393
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: decks of anyone. Like I did a show with him.

394
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: I was like with him for a few months, and

395
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: we had like Coach k on, he has his number,

396
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley, IDT Barkley on, like all these amazing and

397
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: they all knew Chris and they love Chris and they

398
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: were like buddy buddy with him. And he's like, something

399
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: would happen with some big name in sports and he'd

400
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: be like, Hey, let's get that guy on. I have

401
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: his number, give him a call, tell him so and so,

402
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: and more times than not those people would come on so.

403
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't have that kind of roll the

404
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: decks I do. I don't unfortunately, But you were aggressive.

405
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: It reminds me of the story out of Buddy of

406
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: Mine and Radio that really his dream job was to

407
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: work at canby R back in the day, right, and

408
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: he wanted to work in the Bay area, big sports station,

409
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: not as popular as the one we're on now, but

410
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: he wanted to work at CANBYR. So he sent the

411
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: program director every single month, he would send him an

412
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: air check of his work, and eventually he got hired

413
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: to work on what used to be called I think

414
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: it was like sports phone sixty eight at night. Got

415
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: a job there just by perseverance. They finally broke down

416
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 1: the door and they hired. They were annoyed by by that, but.

417
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got it.

418
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 3: You gotta push man, because I love the people in

419
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 3: our business where they just talk about what they wish

420
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 3: things could be.

421
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 4: Like you got to get off your ass and make

422
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 4: it happen.

423
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: No, you do?

424
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 4: You do?

425
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: Now? I had another brief story I wanted to share

426
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: with the class. So the other night we didn't go out.

427
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: My wife had to work on New Year's Eve and

428
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: I had to get ready for the TV show. So

429
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: the day before New Year's Eve, my wife wanted to

430
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: go dance, so we went dancing in La. Now this

431
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: is her thing, not my thing, but you know, by marriage,

432
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 1: I have to do these things. So I went dancing

433
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: at this place I've been too many times in downtown LA.

434
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: But we I got on the wrong at the La

435
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: East LA interchange. I got on the wrong freeway, so

436
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: I had to get off and drive through skid row

437
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: to get there. And it was Sodom and Gomorrah Danny.

438
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: There were people shooting up as we were driving by

439
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: fires in the trash cans in the street to stay warm.

440
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 4: It was wild.

441
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: It was like a dystopian type horrible, like everyone's just

442
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: out there in another dimension type situation. It was nut

443
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: So so then after we went dancing, we're like, I

444
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: don't really eat late because I'm on this fasting thing,

445
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: but it's rare and appropriate, so let's go out have

446
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: a nice meal. So when in la if you want

447
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: a late night meal, there are two places you go,

448
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: and we were trying to decide which of the two

449
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: to go to. We decided to go to the famous

450
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: Canter's Deli in La Ice School Stave. I used to

451
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: live right near Canters. Love it.

452
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a veteran move and.

453
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: Been many movies that have been filmed there. So we

454
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: go down to Canters. I'm just dreaming a Pastrne and

455
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: Matza ball soup. So we get over to Cannor's Deli

456
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 1: and we go in there and we're so excited. It's

457
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: like eleven thirty or something like that, and we go

458
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: in there and the very old lady who looks like

459
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: she has worked there since the nineteen tens. She says,

460
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: we're no longer open twenty four hours, only takeout after

461
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: like eleven, so she wouldn't let us. They were not

462
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: seating anyone in the restaurant. Come on, yeah, So I

463
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: was like, what the f you know? I mean, this

464
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: is a staple of Los Angeles, It's been in a

465
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: bunch of movies. It's a famous deli twenty four hour joint,

466
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: and they weren't open. So I got pised. So I said, well,

467
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: all right, we'll go to the other option, Fat sALS.

468
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 1: That's where we're gonna go get a nice sandwich. So

469
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: we get in the car, we leave Canter's Delhi. We

470
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: drive a few miles away, also in Hollywood, to Fats

471
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: El and I turn the corner on a Highland. I

472
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: turn right on the street Fat Seals is, and, much

473
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: to my amazement, the entire shopping center where Fat Seals

474
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: was burned down, the whole frickin thing.

475
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 4: This is like a family vacation movie.

476
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, this is National Lampoon's family victage. And so

477
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: I somehow missed this. No one in the mal Or

478
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: militia told me, I'm shocked by that. Normally they know

479
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: how much we love this restaurant. Somebody would say this,

480
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: but around Thanksgiving, I believe it was Thanksgiving the AutoZone

481
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: in that shopping center. There was a fire that broke

482
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 1: out in the AutoZone, so I guess some of the chemicals.

483
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened, but it spread to the

484
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: entire shopping center and Fat sALS is in there. Whole

485
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: thing burned down. But here's the thing. So Fat Seals

486
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: relocated like a block away, so they're in a new location.

487
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: But there's no parking so that's a problem. So there's

488
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: no parking lot. So we did end up getting to

489
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: Fat Cells, but that was in the the span of

490
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: half an hour. We went to the iconic canters w

491
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: in La no longer opened twenty four hours, only take

492
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 1: out after a certain hour, and then we went to

493
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: Fat Sales and you're all excited, you pull up your

494
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: think of that Texas sandwich and then then boom, the

495
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: whole building burned out. It was wild. I was like,

496
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: what the f and that was That was my time away.

497
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: I think I'll post some photos probably later today of

498
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: my by the way the travel stuff, just to prove

499
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: I was at the Taco on the beach there in

500
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: the bay and some other photos random photo that they

501
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: took there of my trip. Let's get to the.

502
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 3: Phrase of the week, the phrase of the week.

503
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: Phrase of the week. I was thinking about this because

504
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: I've used it on social media to pathetically promote the

505
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 1: fledgling TV show of Benny Versus the Penny, and it's

506
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: as scene on TV as scene on TV, the phrase

507
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 1: of the week. It was obviously an advertising catch and

508
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: it's still used very much today, although it's odd because

509
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: of TikTok and Instagram and social media youtubeses as seen

510
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: on YouTube is not a thing as seen on TikTok,

511
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: nothing but products advertised once to goes back many many years. Obviously,

512
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: as seen on TV. As seen on TV was used

513
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 1: in advertising. At least nineteen point fifty they started using it,

514
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: and that was when camera shops advertised the Polaroid Land camera.

515
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: And there are several trademarks for as seen on TV.

516
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: At the words sometimes shaped as if inside a television set.

517
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: There's a whole line of products, whole line of products

518
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 1: with that infomercial products. A guy named Philip Hives I

519
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: believe is his name. He founded the Ktail Company, and

520
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: they advertised a ton on television and used as seen

521
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: as TV, as seen on TV as a catchphrase. But

522
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: it was an infomercial product, an infomocial product. Vege Omadic.

523
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: Vege Omadic was the product, and it was advertised as

524
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: seen on TV in nineteen sixty three. And they did

525
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: not coin the phrase, but they used the phrase and

526
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: they became known for the phrase. So you can thank

527
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: the vege Omadic. And let me point out, I've studied,

528
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: I've read books on infomercials, and the vege Omadic not

529
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: the only omadic. There was a whole line of products

530
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: back in the eighties and the seventies that were all

531
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 1: I mean, it was all about it man. They were

532
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: all about that action boss. But anyway, there it is

533
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 1: the phrase of the day or the week or whatever,

534
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: as seen on TV. We'll get out on that, Danny, Annie,
