Speaker 1: Kabooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere.
Speaker 3: The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben Mahler and Danny g
Speaker 3: Happy Saturday. As we are hanging out together here the
Speaker 3: twenty sixth day of April, and yet another day of
Speaker 3: the NFL Draft. And I Am not going to sit
Speaker 3: here and pretend like I was watching every eye on
Speaker 3: my phone, Danny the NFL yesterday, the Draft. I was
Speaker 3: focused on other things, but I would go check. I
Speaker 3: wasn't sitting on the edge of my seat watching the draft.
Speaker 1: I did have it on my phone, and I would.
Speaker 3: I would look over every like ten minutes or so,
Speaker 3: and I like the Rams had. They didn't even have
Speaker 3: a pick in the first round because they trade it
Speaker 3: out of the first round, which I'm fine with. I
Speaker 3: don't care because I want to see that they picked,
Speaker 3: and so they picked like fourteenth in the second round,
Speaker 3: so I had to keep checking back and all that.
Speaker 3: But I was not hanging on the edge of my
Speaker 3: seat for every single pick in the second round. So
Speaker 3: I'm proud of myself that I actually have things going on.
Speaker 3: I've got stuff going on.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I was just there locked
Speaker 1: in on everything.
Speaker 4: You got cookies to bake.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm bet Benny Crocker, not Betty Crocker. I'm Benny Crocker.
Speaker 3: So I got things to do. Man.
Speaker 4: I Actually I pay too much.
Speaker 5: We've talked about this in past years, but I'm one
Speaker 5: of the weirdos who watches pretty much every minute of
Speaker 5: not later, not like the sixth, seventh rounds, but you know,
Speaker 5: I would say one through four and even the start
Speaker 5: of five. I pay attention. Why because my favorite team
Speaker 5: is the Raiders. This is our super Bowl annually, this
Speaker 5: is our super Bowl.
Speaker 1: I got you.
Speaker 3: I mean, I come from FM picks Land, you know,
Speaker 3: the Rams. And also I'm just bitter because I've been
Speaker 3: sold to Billy Goods on so many draft picks over
Speaker 3: the years that this guy's the next great you know whatever,
Speaker 3: it's a whole cottage thing, and I just have been
Speaker 3: so turned off by those prognostications over the years that
Speaker 3: it's like, I know it's good for the show, and
Speaker 3: I do look for storylines to talk about, and obviously
Speaker 3: there's some things in the second and third round that
Speaker 3: will be good talk radio. In the olden days when
Speaker 3: we were kids, the NFL's draft would still be going
Speaker 3: on if they if they had continued to spread this
Speaker 3: thing out, because when I was little, I think the
Speaker 3: draft was like thirteen rounds the NFL draft, And of course,
Speaker 3: obviously now.
Speaker 1: They've cut that back a lot.
Speaker 5: By the way, is Shaudor Sanders still inside his private
Speaker 5: club at the.
Speaker 1: Green Green Bay Green Room.
Speaker 5: Did he have a three day deal with the sound
Speaker 5: man that they gave him for his concert in there?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 3: Let me point out though that the Shudhar Sanders, if
Speaker 3: Southwest Airlines brings back that those want to get away commercials,
Speaker 3: that would be the one to get away moment for
Speaker 3: sus Oh my god, holy craft.
Speaker 5: Do you know when weeke they showed a camera on
Speaker 5: him and he was just on a field throwing a
Speaker 5: football around, and they're like, there he is throwing a
Speaker 5: football around. Just waiting to be drafted. I don't know
Speaker 5: what's worse, hanging out in a green room or out
Speaker 5: on a field throwing a football around like looking like
Speaker 5: Charlie Brown.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, the fall of Shooter Sands. We used to talk
Speaker 3: about how this guy fell and that guy fell.
Speaker 5: The fact that he did not get picked in the
Speaker 5: second or third round is just crazy.
Speaker 3: For the rest of our lives, probably, Danny, if a
Speaker 3: quarterback falls in the draft, they'd be like, what could
Speaker 3: always be worse? You could have been Shudar Sanders. You know,
Speaker 3: it could always be worse.
Speaker 1: And it's going.
Speaker 3: To be like that because to think that he was
Speaker 3: projected two months ago being a top five pick in
Speaker 3: the draft and what's happened this weekend is just just
Speaker 3: absolutely nuts. By the way, it is National Pretzel Day today,
Speaker 3: so celebrate appropriately, Danny.
Speaker 1: National Pretzel Day today.
Speaker 5: That's my go to at a sporting event. If they
Speaker 5: have the melted nacho cheese that you can the cup
Speaker 5: of cheese you can get on the side with the
Speaker 5: warm pretzel lightly salted, that's the go to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, you want some pretzel fun facts, I
Speaker 3: have pretzel fun facts.
Speaker 1: I come prepared. Danny fun facts.
Speaker 4: Let's go.
Speaker 3: This is not just some two bit weekend podcast. No,
Speaker 3: the annual worth of the pretzel industry in the United States.
Speaker 3: You want me to give it to your give you
Speaker 3: the number you want to guess.
Speaker 1: It's in the millions.
Speaker 3: How much is the pretzel industry worth in the United States.
Speaker 4: I'm going to say two hundred and thirty two million dollars.
Speaker 3: All right, fine, answer, you did not go over, so
Speaker 3: you do win the showcase. The answer five hundred and
Speaker 3: fifty million dollar business an annual worth in the pres
Speaker 3: that's an industry.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of dough. Damn, that's dough and on average.
Speaker 3: Now, keep in mind not everyone does eat pretzels, but
Speaker 3: the average consumption in pounds of pretzels by your average
Speaker 3: American per year, so yeah, we're average. How many pounds
Speaker 3: of pretzels, give or take will the average American eat
Speaker 3: per year?
Speaker 4: Average?
Speaker 3: Are pretzel fun facts of the fifth hour.
Speaker 5: I'm going to say each American probably ten pounds. No,
Speaker 5: you have gone over, Danny. You do not mean I'm
Speaker 5: thinking of myself at sporting events.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, No, it's at one point five.
Speaker 4: That's wimpy, that's very wimpy.
Speaker 3: Hold on, let's do some malormath on this whole mother sec.
Speaker 3: Let's see here, what is the what is the population
Speaker 3: in America? What are we like three hundred and thirty
Speaker 3: million or something like that?
Speaker 1: Is that? Am I?
Speaker 4: Right? I guess I should have checked that into account.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's let's do the math here.
Speaker 3: So how many If it's three hundred thirty, let's do
Speaker 3: three three you're listening to live math coverage now on
Speaker 3: the podcast, three hundred million, and then you got one
Speaker 3: point five.
Speaker 4: Not a numbers guy, but.
Speaker 1: But that doesn't seem to add up. Well, No, three
Speaker 1: hundred million, and but one point five.
Speaker 3: You just have to do the one point five times
Speaker 3: three hundred million, right.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be the math?
Speaker 4: Carry the one?
Speaker 1: Let's see you.
Speaker 3: I'll just do one point five times three hundred Yeah,
Speaker 3: four hundred and fifty. So then you extrapolate that and
Speaker 3: it's a lot. The answer is a lot. It's a
Speaker 3: lot of dough. Anyway, Joy Pretzel Day, Enjoy Pretzel Day.
Speaker 3: On this podcast, We've got the Tiki Mania, the Mountain
Speaker 3: Lion update, and the Strike Force.
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of stuff to get to.
Speaker 3: We'll begin with this so a spur of the moment,
Speaker 3: last minute out of nowhere trip out to the wild
Speaker 3: blue yonder. Last weekend The Life of malor the Life
Speaker 3: of Danny g I know you're dining O what we
Speaker 3: are doing, and that's why we have this podcast. But
Speaker 3: last weekend I got a message, Hey, I'm going to
Speaker 3: be in Nevada and if you're able, would love to
Speaker 3: see you. This is one of my cousins that lives
Speaker 3: in New York. And so we said sure, why not,
Speaker 3: and last minute packed up the Malamobile and headed to
Speaker 3: Sin City for a get together at the it was
Speaker 3: last Saturday.
Speaker 1: Now we drove, make made the trip we always drive.
Speaker 3: We never flied to Vegas and so went hypersonic speed
Speaker 3: through Apple Valley, Barstow, went past Zazi's Road or Isaac's
Speaker 3: Road or they call it through Baker said hello to
Speaker 3: the mad Greek, Thearren. Baker kept going over to Prim,
Speaker 3: very depressing Whiskey Feeds.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say everything is closing.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's only one hotel left in Prim. There's
Speaker 3: that big gas station on one side, there's a truck
Speaker 3: stop gas station on the other near Whiskey Pets. And
Speaker 3: then there's one hotel, Buffalo Bills. I think that's the
Speaker 3: only one left. The mall's pretty much gone. There's a
Speaker 3: couple of scattered restaurants.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a ghost town. That's wild.
Speaker 3: Anyway, So we go through there and it finally got
Speaker 3: to Vegas and a lot of traffic around the desk Star.
Speaker 3: We were unaware that last weekend was WrestleMania and it
Speaker 3: was popping. It was massively the wave of humanity that
Speaker 3: had ascended in Vegas.
Speaker 5: I saw the video when it led out and people
Speaker 5: were just crammed like sardines, and it reminded me of
Speaker 5: our recent past episode where we were talking about being claustrophobic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, it was It was wild. I
Speaker 1: didn't know what was going on.
Speaker 3: Bad job by me, I'm not, you know, and watching
Speaker 3: wrestling every week and all that. I did get a
Speaker 3: lot of messages from people that were very excited, fans
Speaker 3: of the Malad militia that are like, hey, Russep's back,
Speaker 3: you know, And I guess he made his debut on
Speaker 3: his return actually on Monday night raw, I guess, but it.
Speaker 1: Wasn't a wresmating.
Speaker 3: But anyway, I was there for wrestlming and he I
Speaker 3: was not there for Wrestlmening it was going on. So
Speaker 3: I went to meet my cousin from New York and
Speaker 3: then some other relatives scattered around the West on my
Speaker 3: cousin's side of the things. They showed up, so we
Speaker 3: were all hanging out and then we pretty much just
Speaker 3: did that and we went to one of my favorite
Speaker 3: pizza places is over in Henderson. So we were over
Speaker 3: in Henderson and ate some delicious pizza, fried cheese and
Speaker 3: just just wonderful, and took off from there and we
Speaker 3: went to a tiki bar, because there's a bunch of
Speaker 3: tiki bars, and this place in Vegas it was so cool,
Speaker 3: little crappy like it was. I'm trying to describe it.
Speaker 3: It's like your typical suburban. It's a mall, not a mall,
Speaker 3: you know, the strip mall. I guess got a strip mall. Yeah,
Speaker 3: strip mall, that's the word I was looking for. So
Speaker 3: it's a strip mall and there's nothing special about it.
Speaker 3: And like everything, it's like we're there like one in
Speaker 3: the morning and everything's open. Place is packed and the
Speaker 3: coolest thing. We got out of there went to the
Speaker 3: Tiki bark is. My wife likes going to those things,
Speaker 3: and so we.
Speaker 1: Get out across the street they are we hear this.
Speaker 3: Like that it's a tire repair shop, twenty four hour
Speaker 3: tire repair shop.
Speaker 1: It's like two in the morning, three in the.
Speaker 3: Morning, and people are getting their tires were replaced at
Speaker 3: this this twenty four hour tire shop. As while like,
Speaker 3: that's the way to do it. Man, that's my kind
Speaker 3: of schedule there. That's how they roll in Vega. You
Speaker 3: know you want your tires replace it's three in the morning,
Speaker 3: no problem, we got you. That's that's the way to go.
Speaker 3: So we had We had a good time. It was
Speaker 3: a short trip. Got a little stomach issue on the
Speaker 3: way back, so unfortunately the wife had to drive back.
Speaker 3: But I was good by the time we got back.
Speaker 3: So there was that. I did not see any mountain
Speaker 3: lions on my way back. I drove through Death Valley
Speaker 3: in the same strip obviously that we took to get
Speaker 3: to Vegas.
Speaker 1: I didn't see any. But we we did have a
Speaker 1: fun trip back and right back to work.
Speaker 3: Immediately when you got back to La So we didn't
Speaker 3: have much time much downtime with this podcast and everything
Speaker 3: going on now.
Speaker 5: I actually just sent you two text messages that you're
Speaker 5: going to receive right now.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm going to look you.
Speaker 5: I would like to alert all the affiliates down the
Speaker 5: line that Ben is looking at his cellular device.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I'm looking right now.
Speaker 5: Yes, the world's most expensive and largest wildlife crossing in
Speaker 5: the world. Ben one hundred million dollars well spent by
Speaker 5: taxpayers money and the Annenberg family. And if you see
Speaker 5: the picture I took as I was crossing underneath of
Speaker 5: it the other day to go to the network, you
Speaker 5: see that their name is on it. Now, so that's
Speaker 5: what how many I'm not sure what part of the
Speaker 5: cost they covered, but they got their name. They got
Speaker 5: their name on the damn thing. Though it says now
Speaker 5: Ironnberg Wildlife crossing.
Speaker 1: Are humans allowed to use it?
Speaker 3: Like? What do they do? Do they kill a human?
Speaker 3: If a human being crosses over it?
Speaker 1: Do they shoot them? Is that because that's for the wildlife?
Speaker 4: Why not?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 5: It says grand opening coming in twenty twenty six, So
Speaker 5: does that mean like all the animals are gonna line
Speaker 5: up with fanfare and.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be It's gonna be like Noah's ark. They're
Speaker 3: gonna have every animal cross at the same time.
Speaker 5: When I read about them and I read about the
Speaker 5: grand opening, that's what I pictured. Now this article from
Speaker 5: ABC seven in Los Angeles, it says first layer of
Speaker 5: soil was laid down for the wildlife crossing over the
Speaker 5: one on one freeway. You and I spoke about this
Speaker 5: when the fires were happening here. When when this turns
Speaker 5: into a fire hazard because obviously, look at all those
Speaker 5: lanes of traffic in both directions. It's really hard for
Speaker 5: fire to cross a freeway with that many lanes from
Speaker 5: one side to the other. But now with this soil
Speaker 5: and grass on top of what happens when that grass
Speaker 5: dries out on top of the wildlife crossing.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what's going to happen. First of all,
Speaker 1: though the fire is going to spread.
Speaker 3: Secondly, some attorneys will be running commercials on radio where
Speaker 3: you're damaged by the fire that crossed over the wildfire bridge. We'll,
Speaker 3: you know, contact us, will sue the Innenburg group or whoever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this is the other dude, I've noticed it.
Speaker 3: I saw a story about this too the other day,
Speaker 3: and the comments of people that think they're saving the world.
Speaker 1: It's wild to me.
Speaker 3: It is it is next level, like they are so
Speaker 3: convinced that this is the way to do it. Uh,
Speaker 3: and it just I don't know, I don't get that mindset,
Speaker 3: but it's not me. It just seems very bizarre to me.
Speaker 3: But how many homeless people do you think could sleep
Speaker 3: up there?
Speaker 4: What do we look at it?
Speaker 3: You can fit a lot of tents right, they got water,
Speaker 3: they could go to the swing, they could swim there.
Speaker 3: They could use one of the little ponds for swimming.
Speaker 3: The other one they could use as a bathroom.
Speaker 5: Have you ever been to Calabasas slash Agora Hills, California.
Speaker 5: There are no homeless people in those towns. The cut
Speaker 5: off line is Woodland Hills and they should.
Speaker 1: We should get some buses go down to skid Row.
Speaker 1: We can drive them up and then home.
Speaker 5: Man that if you think about it, though, what a
Speaker 5: sly place that would be to set up camp right
Speaker 5: above the freeway there you know you're you're not far
Speaker 5: from the off ramp. You could hold your sign there
Speaker 5: on the off ramp and then go back. There's there's
Speaker 5: some utility stairs on both sides of the Wild Cross
Speaker 5: wildlife crossing, so you probably could set up camp up there.
Speaker 5: But I think what's going to happen is it's going
Speaker 5: to be a shit show. And I don't wish this
Speaker 5: to happen. I don't want this to happen. But if
Speaker 5: we get another fire like we had recently just a
Speaker 5: few months back, and it crosses that bridge, that's gonna
Speaker 5: be a big issue because right now, there are no
Speaker 5: freeway overpasses right there for fire to jump.
Speaker 4: They just made one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well they'll say it would have happened anyway, it
Speaker 3: wasn't the bridge.
Speaker 5: You know, they'll come up with some that's bullshit because
Speaker 5: there's no there's not even any cement crossings right now.
Speaker 5: They put a grass crossing, Well you're gonna say, what
Speaker 5: three to four mountain lions per year? But you could
Speaker 5: possibly endanger how many houses with a wildfire. I just
Speaker 5: I look into my crystal ball and I think this
Speaker 5: could be a major issue down the road.
Speaker 3: Well, you just don't care about skunks that want to
Speaker 3: cross the road, Okay, that's your problem.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is going to help endless squirrels and the owls.
Speaker 5: This is going to totally hook the owls up because
Speaker 5: you know, they can't figgure out how to fly over
Speaker 5: the freeway so they can just walk across.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like penguins.
Speaker 1: Oh, I hear you, man, we did have a strike.
Speaker 3: If you were listening to the Overnight Show this week,
Speaker 3: some of you have sent me messages on that. We
Speaker 3: don't need to actually break that down too much, but
Speaker 3: I got well, I guess we'll talk about it here.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to answer all the emails. And there
Speaker 3: were like three of them, I say a lot, there
Speaker 3: were three. So Blind Scott decided he was protesting, he
Speaker 3: was going on strike, and then he recruited Supermarket Steve,
Speaker 3: of all people, to go on strike. Yeah, so these
Speaker 3: two jackasses, these jackwagons, decided to go on strike from
Speaker 3: the show. Of course, it lasted all of one day,
Speaker 3: Danny one day, and it was one phone call by
Speaker 3: Blind Scott saying strike, strike, strike, Strike, strike over and
Speaker 3: strike strike over and over and over and over and
Speaker 3: over and over and over all that nonsense. And then
Speaker 3: super Marike Steve complaining because of Mike the Leprechaun and
Speaker 3: some other issues that he had.
Speaker 1: And it always.
Speaker 3: Fascinates me, Dan. We've talked about this before. It is
Speaker 3: a radio show. It is not an airport. You do
Speaker 3: not need to announce your departure. There's no need to
Speaker 3: announce your departure. And it's just these guys needing attention, right,
Speaker 3: they're just their attention starved.
Speaker 1: To make attention.
Speaker 3: This is their way to do it, and it's like
Speaker 3: a reality show and that's their grand finale.
Speaker 1: But it's not really their grand finale because.
Speaker 3: Hey, they're like, we just want you to know that
Speaker 3: we're here, and we're not getting enough attention. So it's like,
Speaker 3: come on, it strikes on it. Who strikes on a
Speaker 3: radio show.
Speaker 1: It's so stupid.
Speaker 3: These guys that complain, like some of you complain about
Speaker 3: certain people to call the show, Danny.
Speaker 1: These guys that call in are on for what two minutes?
Speaker 1: It's two minutes.
Speaker 3: It's nothing. It's a grain of sand on the beach.
Speaker 3: It's absolutely nothing. To get all worked up into it
Speaker 3: a lad about. I don't understand. It's like, not everyone
Speaker 3: that calls the show is a good caller. In fact,
Speaker 3: most of the people that call the show are not.
Speaker 3: We all understand that there's no need to h to
Speaker 3: jump up and down and scream and shout and all that.
Speaker 1: Come on I'm a doctor.
Speaker 3: Knock it off, buccaroo, Okay, it just stop stop stopping,
Speaker 3: stopp yes anyway, Uh.
Speaker 4: Not everybody is Genie.
Speaker 3: No, there's you know, Genie's in all the time. I
Speaker 3: wish I'd put Geenie on the air more. Back in
Speaker 3: the day, I got to know were there people who
Speaker 3: are upset with Genie too? People would send me messages.
Speaker 3: Was she on so much? She's not in your demo,
Speaker 3: she's you know, you're not supposed to get older women
Speaker 3: to call the show. We're trying to get young dudes.
Speaker 3: What's wrong with you? I don't want to hear what
Speaker 3: she has to say. She didn't even talk about sports. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I know, she doesn't talk about sports. That's the beauty
Speaker 3: of her phone calls. She doesn't talk about sports. Okay,
Speaker 3: she's not at their mining data to come up with
Speaker 3: some statistic.
Speaker 1: By the way, the other day, I I.
Speaker 3: Don't listen to a lot of sports radio, and I
Speaker 3: happen to be listening to something on the app and
Speaker 3: then it ended up you know how you hit the
Speaker 3: wrong button and it ends up on a It was
Speaker 3: a local sports station that popped up.
Speaker 1: I don't even know how that happened on the iHeart app.
Speaker 3: I was listening to something else and it popped up
Speaker 3: local station some listening, and it was some dude talking
Speaker 3: baseball and he was just giving like analytics and ganny.
Speaker 1: You know that.
Speaker 3: Sounded like I wanted to take a sharp object and
Speaker 3: poke my ears out listening to this moron.
Speaker 1: Numbers are fine and all that.
Speaker 3: But you cannot just sit there and read off a
Speaker 3: bunch of percentages and data projected probabilities, and I mean.
Speaker 1: It's just it's terrible. It is so bad.
Speaker 3: And this I don't even know who the person was,
Speaker 3: and I only listened for like forty five seconds, and
Speaker 3: it was so terrifically terrible.
Speaker 1: Just like you cannot you can't do it.
Speaker 3: You can't just read a bunch of metrics or whatever
Speaker 3: nonsense mumbo jumbo you have.
Speaker 1: No it's a bad listen.
Speaker 5: I don't even like baseball talk on the radio, to
Speaker 5: be honest with you. Not network talk on AM five
Speaker 5: seventy LA sports when you fill in there. I get
Speaker 5: it in the local affiliates all across the country talk
Speaker 5: away with your local baseball team, but nationally to try
Speaker 5: to talk baseball really really difficult.
Speaker 1: You can do it. But you can only do it
Speaker 1: if it if it.
Speaker 3: Has broad appeal, if it's not narrow, like if there's
Speaker 3: a story that crosses over apps.
Speaker 5: Like the Sure But yeah, right, that's a good example.
Speaker 5: But how many of those stories do we get in
Speaker 5: a baseball season?
Speaker 1: Well that's the issue.
Speaker 3: Rob Manfraud the commissioner, He's complained about this. He was
Speaker 3: very upset with ESPN and they'll I've heard they're going
Speaker 3: to get another deal with the ESPN Baseball, but that's
Speaker 3: a different they don't have one. Now that's a different conversation.
Speaker 3: But Manford was upset because the people over there that
Speaker 3: are gas bags, like Steven A who used to work
Speaker 3: at our place, and these other morons. They don't talk baseball.
Speaker 3: They talked basketball, but basketball. I had a friend of
Speaker 3: mine who's worked in media for thirty years. He said, Ben,
Speaker 3: why don't they just not play the NBA games? They
Speaker 3: just give us enough to talk about. We don't even
Speaker 3: need the games to talk about. We'll just talk about
Speaker 3: this stuff off the court. We don't even need the games.
Speaker 3: Why do they play the games? And his whole point
Speaker 3: was it's so great because of the drama, because of
Speaker 3: the behind the scenes stuff that the games and I
Speaker 3: do break down some of these playoff games.
Speaker 1: I have been doing a lot of that, much to.
Speaker 3: The disconnect of some people who are upset anytime I
Speaker 3: talk about it, and well, you're talking about NBA playoff games.
Speaker 3: It's not the conference finals yet and all that stuff.
Speaker 3: But the NBA is, for what we do amazing. In
Speaker 3: terms of conversation, it's great. It's it's the Greek tragedy
Speaker 3: over here. It's a Shakespearean drama.
Speaker 1: It's it's Anthony Edwards grabbing his dick.
Speaker 6: Announcing how big his sausages to the world, and it's just, oh,
Speaker 6: man is outstanding.
Speaker 3: I wanted to thank to you the listener, and I
Speaker 3: forget the name. Somebody sent us these giant cookies. There's
Speaker 3: a cookie shop in Nashville. We did trade. I made
Speaker 3: a trade. I was given the Elvis Cookie, which is
Speaker 3: a banana cream pie type cookie thing.
Speaker 1: I traded that. I made a trade with the Coop.
Speaker 3: I picked up in the trade the Cookie Monster, which
Speaker 3: is a blue cookie. It's so big it had like
Speaker 3: four oreos stuffed in the middle. So I acquired the
Speaker 3: Cookie Monster cookies. I got the Lemon cookie in the deal.
Speaker 3: I'm happy with the deal. I went for quantity over quality,
Speaker 3: and these things are so ridiculous the mistake I made,
Speaker 3: and these are really good cookies, and I want to think,
Speaker 3: and I don't off the top of my head, I
Speaker 3: don't remember exactly the name. I apologize in advance. It's
Speaker 3: bad job by me. But in my defense, Lorraine actually
Speaker 3: opened the box. I didn't even open the box, so
Speaker 3: I didn't see the name. She told me the name
Speaker 3: one time.
Speaker 1: That was it.
Speaker 3: So I opened the cookies up and they had how
Speaker 3: many calories were on the cookie? Okay, so there's two
Speaker 3: things about this that pissed me off. The first is
Speaker 3: that I saw how many calaries were on the cookie.
Speaker 5: The second is that's like, that's like seeing the debit
Speaker 5: card information from your wife exactly exactly.
Speaker 3: You just things you don't need to know. You actually, well,
Speaker 3: you do need to know, but you don't.
Speaker 1: Want to know. It was that type of situation.
Speaker 3: So I saw how many calories of the cookies were
Speaker 3: and then that pissed me off. And then the other
Speaker 3: thing was, now, this is a cookie and I don't
Speaker 3: have a photo to send you, Dandy, but just imagine
Speaker 3: the palm of your hand.
Speaker 5: Oh no, no, I saw them in the studio. There
Speaker 5: was one left behind in the studio and Covino and
Speaker 5: Rich were breaking it into parts. One cookie fed the
Speaker 5: entire crew. Yes, yes, exactly. It is a massive It's
Speaker 5: like the size of your palm times ten. So that
Speaker 5: they say that cookie has six six servings in that
Speaker 5: one cookie.
Speaker 1: How many people are gonna eat that in six servings?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Right then?
Speaker 3: And then the one and every one of these things
Speaker 3: was different. But the cook I think it averaged one
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty five Let.
Speaker 4: Me do the matho.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was one hundred and twenty five calories per serving,
Speaker 3: So there's six servings, so it's like seven it was
Speaker 3: almost eight hundred calories I think per cookie. This sounds like,
Speaker 3: oh man, and I don't count calories. I eat once
Speaker 3: a day, so I could probably be fine doing it
Speaker 3: and all that.
Speaker 1: It's just once, you know.
Speaker 3: It's like I could have had a big mac and
Speaker 3: fries or cookie and I was like, whoa, what is
Speaker 3: up with that?
Speaker 1: All?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 3: Time now for the phrase of the week, the phrase
Speaker 3: of the week. My phrase of the week this week
Speaker 3: is the marching and Chowders Society. We talked about this
Speaker 3: during the draft, certain people advocating for certain players. A
Speaker 3: lot of chatter over the weekend about Schadur Sanders, for example,
Speaker 3: the opening round of the draft back on Thursday night,
Speaker 3: Dandy a lot of mel kiper with his knee pads
Speaker 3: on for all Sason.
Speaker 5: He definitely was paid by the Sanders family. That was awkward.
Speaker 1: They gave him some nil money.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a little much, A little much anyway.
Speaker 3: The phrase marching in chowder society or chowder and marching
Speaker 3: society originated way back in the eighteen hundred and nineteenth century,
Speaker 3: and it was used for fraternal groups and social groups.
Speaker 3: And there was the cherry Field Chowder Society founded in
Speaker 3: eighteen sixty eight in the state of Maine, shout out
Speaker 3: to our home boys in the state of Maine.
Speaker 1: It became later the.
Speaker 3: Cherry Field Chowder and Marching Society in the eighteen seventies.
Speaker 3: And they had a band, they had secret bylaws.
Speaker 1: It was like a secret society. They had a special.
Speaker 3: Flag, all that crap, and it was like a social club.
Speaker 3: There was also the East Lawn Chowder and Marching Society, which.
Speaker 1: Formed in nineteen oh nine.
Speaker 3: That was at the University of Virginia, Go Calves Go
Speaker 3: and they had a friendly rivalry with the West Lawn group.
Speaker 3: And that lasted from the nineteen o nine to nineteen
Speaker 3: to the nineteen fifties. Now the phrase became even more widespread.
Speaker 3: It was a There was a political fraternity founded in
Speaker 3: nineteen forty nine by a congressman named Richard Nixon. I
Speaker 3: wonder what happened to him? I wonder what happened to
Speaker 3: Richard Nixon? And so that spread it a little further.
Speaker 3: The term also appeared in pop culture. There was a
Speaker 3: comic strip, a comic strip Barnaby in the nineteen forties.
Speaker 3: There were some other cartoons that featured it. But the
Speaker 3: thing that caught me when I was doing my main
Speaker 3: research on this that the phrase was popularized by a
Speaker 3: sportscaster who had national reach and is credited with continuing
Speaker 3: to spread marching in shadow society. That sportscaster Danny Vin Scully.
Speaker 3: It was popularized by Vin Scully on NBC when he
Speaker 3: was doing the Game of the Week, and he did
Speaker 3: football on NBC as well, and he would refer to
Speaker 3: a player who had a lot of supporters. He'd be
Speaker 3: like the Marching and Chowders Society for Willie Mays, the
Speaker 3: Great Vince Scully, Yeah, Vin, Yeah, So that's that's pretty cool.
Speaker 3: So there you go the phrase of the week, Marching
Speaker 3: and Chowder Society.
Speaker 1: Whoa the rally dowel? And if we have a sombrero,
Speaker 1: throw it in the sky.
Speaker 4: Oh that's got to be racist. So wonderful.
Speaker 3: All right, we'll get out on that, Danny, enjoy watching
Speaker 3: the rest of the draft today and see what happens
Speaker 3: with all the all the fun and the shadder Sanders.
