Speaker 1: Kubbooms.
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 soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow, it's the clearinghouse
Speaker 2: of hot takes. Break free for something special. The Fifth
Speaker 2: Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the air.
Speaker 3: Everywhere you have stumbled on to the Fifth Hour with
Speaker 3: Ben Mallor you already knew that. It's one thing about podcasting,
Speaker 3: you have no surprises. You can't scan the podcast dial
Speaker 3: and stumble onto a podcast.
Speaker 1: But it is the Fifth Hour.
Speaker 3: Myself, Ben and Danny g We are here every single
Speaker 3: day on the weekends. And you hear me during the

Speaker 1: Well? I am fired up tonight is the night the
Speaker 1: main event.
Speaker 3: People have been asking me the cool thing about this,
Speaker 3: and I'm reminded every time we do one of these
Speaker 3: type of events that a lot of people would like
Speaker 3: to be part of it, but they have plans. And
Speaker 3: so then I've had people email me Danny and say, hey,
Speaker 3: I can't make the event on Saturday night, which is tonight,
Speaker 3: So can I see you on Sunday or Monday, just
Speaker 3: like available whenever.
Speaker 1: That's not quite how this works.
Speaker 3: But if you somehow have missed this, I know I
Speaker 3: said this on the on the Friday podcast, we talked hiccups.
Speaker 3: First ever podcast I've ever done, first ever show about hiccups, Dandy,
Speaker 3: I can now cross that off my bucket list. I've
Speaker 3: adversed that, but I did like the woman pointed out
Speaker 3: that they think that hiccups are because we used to
Speaker 3: be fish.
Speaker 1: I think that is yeah.
Speaker 5: And I already ordered some of those lollipops.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the lollipops the way to go. Anyway, get to
Speaker 3: the point, So tonight is the night. Depending on when
Speaker 3: you're listening to this, it might be a long time
Speaker 3: from now, It might be just a few hours from
Speaker 3: now five pm to nine. Obviously, local time in Minneapolis
Speaker 3: and again the Mermaid in and event Center. It is
Speaker 3: on like Donkey Kong in Beautiful Mounds View, Minnesota.
Speaker 4: One thing I know for sure is this is going
Speaker 4: to create a lot of content for you, as I'm
Speaker 4: sure you're going to be taking a lot of notes
Speaker 4: and so next weekend, our Friday podcast is going to
Speaker 4: be pretty exciting.
Speaker 3: Well that's assuming the company can afford the rights fee.
Speaker 3: As you know, a postgame show, Dany is very pricey
Speaker 3: for an event like this, and they'll be competing networks
Speaker 3: that will all be trying to get those nice that
Speaker 3: feeling of excitement after a big event. But we've had
Speaker 3: We've had a lot of fun. I've done these things
Speaker 3: a few times. You were the last one we did
Speaker 3: in southern California. Danny pop by and said hello to
Speaker 3: the to the fans.
Speaker 1: Of the show.
Speaker 3: And we'll hopefully do another one down the line. But
Speaker 3: this is the Minnesota event. Hollering James is supposed to
Speaker 3: be there. I'm looking forward to that. Ohio Al is
Speaker 3: going to be making a trip from a while. We've
Speaker 3: got Doc Mike from Chicago, Regina the Hostess with the
Speaker 3: Mostest Live Band. Tonight so that's good. I don't have
Speaker 3: to talk as much because there'll be a band there.
Speaker 3: I can just listen to the band.
Speaker 1: And there's all kinds of there's acts throwing, there's bolling.
Speaker 4: And it would be so awesome if it just turned
Speaker 4: out to be you and Regina throwing axes all night
Speaker 4: by yourself.
Speaker 3: Yes, and Doc Mike urinating in the corner. And that's possible.
Speaker 3: That is possible that that's the only people that.
Speaker 1: Show up to the Seaue.
Speaker 3: You never know because people say they're going to show
Speaker 3: up and then they don't show up. But this place
Speaker 3: is massive, This mermaid in an event center that's hosting
Speaker 3: this one hundred thousand square feet of event space. They've
Speaker 3: got all the bells and whistles, they got a full
Speaker 3: service bar and grill, and so we are fired up.
Speaker 3: We are fired up for this. So again, that is tonight.
Speaker 3: But as far as this podcast, we've got meatball Surgery,
Speaker 3: El Loco Loco and Pop Goes the Culture.
Speaker 1: So we've got a lot to get to.
Speaker 3: So let's get right into it right now, and we
Speaker 3: begin with the meatball surgery. So this past weekend was
Speaker 3: a normal weekend.
Speaker 1: No big event or anything.
Speaker 5: Like that.
Speaker 3: So we get behind the microphone and the headphones and
Speaker 3: the life of Mallard and Danny g on the weekends,
Speaker 3: and we're pretty boring most of the time. But anyway,
Speaker 3: last weekend I was Benny the baker. I was back
Speaker 3: in the kitchen Danny. As you know, it's my stick
Speaker 3: duty to big cookies on the weekends and then eat
Speaker 3: them during the week and we had talked on the
Speaker 3: radio show about snicker doodle cookies, and so I got
Speaker 3: in my head to make snicker doodle cookies. And as
Speaker 3: always what I do is I try to find I
Speaker 3: love frosting on cookies. So I tried to find a
Speaker 3: snicker doodle recipe with frosting, and I found like a
Speaker 3: dupe of again the crumble snicker doodle cookie, which is
Speaker 3: the crumbles, like the five dollars a cookie thing that's say,
Speaker 3: it's insane. So I found this recipe. I searched all
Speaker 3: over the dark web. I found this great recipe, and
Speaker 3: so I proceeded to then make said cookie dough. And
Speaker 3: as I was making the cookie dough, things were going,
Speaker 3: you know, swimmingly, they were, they were they were going Okay.
Speaker 3: I made that though, and then my wife. She loves
Speaker 3: the oatmeal raisin cookies. So then I was like, all right,
Speaker 3: well I'll make some oatmeal raisin cookies.
Speaker 1: And what an amazing life I'm living.
Speaker 3: So then I'm making the oatmeal raisin, which is a
Speaker 3: lot of lot of ingredients and you know, whatever, it's
Speaker 3: it's it's I don't even usually like oatmeal raisin, but
Speaker 3: these I like because they taste. They don't taste like
Speaker 3: your normal oatmeal raisin. So I make the I'm making
Speaker 3: the dough and I use a kitchen aid mixer to
Speaker 3: help me bring everything together. Put all the ingredients in there.
Speaker 3: It's really simple.
Speaker 1: So I'm using the kitchen aid mixer.
Speaker 3: I am across the kitchen on the island and I
Speaker 3: am preparing some other ingredients and I hear this sound
Speaker 3: like it's like a factory of like metal crunching into metal,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, what.
Speaker 1: You know, what is pot? What is going on? Makes
Speaker 1: no sense?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 1: What the hell.
Speaker 3: Is?
Speaker 1: That a bad word?
Speaker 3: So I don't want to I don't want to offense
Speaker 3: or scratch off in Arkansas because he says I curse
Speaker 3: a lot on this podcast. I don't want to offense
Speaker 3: or scratches anyway. So I turn around and much to
Speaker 3: my dismay, the dough that was being made for the
Speaker 3: oatmeal raisin cookies after I'd made the snicker Do cookies.
Speaker 3: The mixer has now completely stopped, and I'm like trying.
Speaker 3: I felt like there was like a polter geist or
Speaker 3: something that had happened, because I was not even watching
Speaker 3: what happened. I was like, how could I didn't put
Speaker 3: anything in there? I say, well, maybe I put to
Speaker 3: accidentally put a fork in the mixer, or I tossed
Speaker 3: a knife in there, And I'm like.
Speaker 1: No, I wasn't even there.
Speaker 3: I was on the I was across the kitchen preparing
Speaker 3: some other nonsense. So I obviously I turned. I unplugged
Speaker 3: the thing, and I investigate. I use the Mallard think tank.
Speaker 3: I go in there and I'm investigating and what had happened.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you have have you ever seen
Speaker 3: like a kitchen aid mixer, You guys have one, but
Speaker 3: the very top there's this like there's this little metal
Speaker 3: thing which you have to twist on and off. I
Speaker 3: guess my wife told me you use it for attachments. Okay, okay,
Speaker 3: So I never even bothered to worry about it. So
Speaker 3: this mixer was going so crazy that it was it
Speaker 3: was gyrating back and forth, and in that gyration it
Speaker 3: was like Richard Simmons, you know, Shaken to the oldies
Speaker 3: or damn whatever the old the infomercial from the back
Speaker 3: in the in the nineties. So the thing came on
Speaker 3: the the metal piece fell off, falls into the batter, unhinged.
Speaker 3: It came unhinged, falls in and boom. Immediately the whole
Speaker 3: thing stops working. And so I was like, well, maybe
Speaker 3: I'll just unplug it, I'll turn it back on.
Speaker 1: And it'll be good. And no, no, So.
Speaker 3: We did take the kitchen aid mixer, which is i'll
Speaker 3: explain why this is important to me, but I took
Speaker 3: the kitchen aid mixer, which these things are like three
Speaker 3: hundred bucks. So I took this thing to the repair
Speaker 3: shop for some meatball surgery on the kitchen aid mixer.
Speaker 1: So we went online.
Speaker 3: We found a place which was not far away from
Speaker 3: the Malor mansion that specializes in these kitchen aid mixers.
Speaker 3: So I said, okay, that's the place. We went down
Speaker 3: there and they're only open for a few hours a day.
Speaker 3: We dropped the thing off the guys like, oh, it's
Speaker 3: like sixty bucks to get an estimate, and then we'll
Speaker 3: call you back tell you how much it actually costs
Speaker 3: to fix the thing, and it's pretty pricey.
Speaker 1: But I had to do it, Danny. I had to
Speaker 1: do it for two reasons.
Speaker 3: Number one, it's cheaper still than buying a new one,
Speaker 3: and number two, this has sentimental value because this was
Speaker 3: a gift my mom got me before she passed away.
Speaker 3: So I feel like I have to I have to
Speaker 3: hold onto this thing as long as I possibly can,
Speaker 3: because it's this odd connection I had, which are really
Speaker 3: not that odd, but it's a connection to my mom,
Speaker 3: and so therefore I was like, all right, whatever, So
Speaker 3: we spent the money and we're supposed to get it
Speaker 3: back when I when I returned my triumphant return from
Speaker 3: the Land of ten Thousand Lakes, which will be later
Speaker 3: next week, so we'll find out about that. So little
Speaker 3: meatball surgery, Danny, and hopefully it'll be I would like
Speaker 3: to point out, though, that I did attempt a d IY.
Speaker 1: Do it yourself situation.
Speaker 3: I went online, I did see that somebody else had
Speaker 3: the same problem I had, and then I watched how
Speaker 3: you repair it, and I had this this like feeling
Speaker 3: of anxiety and I said, I am not I am
Speaker 3: not worthy. I am not an engineer. I am not
Speaker 3: a mechanic. That is not a skill set that I have.
Speaker 3: I identified the problem, I recognized the situation, and I
Speaker 3: discovered that it is in my best interest, Danny, to
Speaker 3: find someone, someone who knows what they're doing.
Speaker 5: So yeah, pass it off. And how appropriate it was
Speaker 5: Mother's Day weekend.
Speaker 1: That is, you know what.
Speaker 3: I didn't even realize that there you go, some kind
Speaker 3: of odd sign from mom, Ah, there you go. But
Speaker 3: it was it was wild. It was not an El
Speaker 3: Loco Loco situation though. It was not that, Danny.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was one crazy not too crazy. You know.
Speaker 4: Right across the street from the Great Fox Sports Radio
Speaker 4: Studios is al Poyo Loko Chicken Joint. We've talked about
Speaker 4: it on the show before.
Speaker 3: Crazy Crazy Chicken Point Chicken Joint, And for those that
Speaker 3: have not heard the stories, this is the place that
Speaker 3: a lot of the rich people that live in bel
Speaker 3: Air will come down and get their fre It's not
Speaker 3: fried chicken, it's grilled chicken at Opoil Loco and Magic
Speaker 3: Johnson's been in there There's been a bunch of other
Speaker 3: celebrities that let live up in the hills above where
Speaker 3: we work and they go hang out.
Speaker 1: They love that spot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've met the comedian slash actor Mike Epps in there,
Speaker 4: a lot of different actors and actresses. We've seen Grace
Speaker 4: the l Poyo Loco counter, and it's normal for our
Speaker 4: staff to be seen in there. Anytime I'm in there,
Speaker 4: I'll see one of our hosts, I'll see an editor,
Speaker 4: I'll see somebody run in and pick up its go order.
Speaker 4: You could find Rich Davis from Covino and Rich in
Speaker 4: there just about every day.
Speaker 1: I've heard rumors that Rich ought to get a job there.
Speaker 3: He's there that much that he should apply and make
Speaker 3: a little extra money on the side.
Speaker 4: Once he found out that they had five dollars poo
Speaker 4: bulls and you could order on your phone and they'll
Speaker 4: have it ready and you just on across and pick
Speaker 4: it up.
Speaker 5: He's been eating there every day.
Speaker 4: It's convenient, and so I used it right before the show,
Speaker 4: so it's like one o'clock in the afternoon. All I
Speaker 4: need to do is pick up this food. And also
Speaker 4: I had rewards from them on the app for a
Speaker 4: free drink. So I'm like, I gotta deal with the line,
Speaker 4: but it'll be worth it for the free drink, not
Speaker 4: the case. Get over there across the street. First of all,
Speaker 4: the entrance to the l Tooyo Loko blocked.
Speaker 5: You could not get in. I'll let you take a guess.
Speaker 4: What do you think was blocking the l Tooyo Loko
Speaker 4: entrance on Sepulvida.
Speaker 3: I am gonna go for one thousand dollars a hobo.
Speaker 3: I am going for a.
Speaker 1: Vagrant, is my answer. Alex, you are right, you just
Speaker 1: dollars dollars?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 5: What right?
Speaker 4: Not just your every day hoemost person in Sherman Oaks, California.
Speaker 5: This person had.
Speaker 4: A huge cart filled with shit, which is normal for
Speaker 4: us to see. But what's not normal is on top
Speaker 4: of the cart a huge valet umbrella.
Speaker 3: Oh so they picked up some souvenirs when they were
Speaker 3: walking around Sherman Oaks.
Speaker 4: Some poor restaurant is missing their valet umbrella.
Speaker 5: I took a picture. I'll have to post it this
Speaker 5: weekend of this big valet umbrella. I was like, what
Speaker 5: the fuck? Where did they get that?
Speaker 3: And then let me speak for the person down on
Speaker 3: the buck on the hard scrabble streets of Sherman Oaks.
Speaker 3: It does get very hot in Sherman Oaks, and we're
Speaker 3: getting into the.
Speaker 1: Part of the year.
Speaker 3: We're still got a couple months to go, but July
Speaker 3: and August and September are oppressively hot in Sherman Oaks, California.
Speaker 3: So this guy's looking out, he's planning ahead. Dan, He's like, hey, listen,
Speaker 3: I don't want to get a sunburn. I'm outdoors all
Speaker 3: the time. So's he's like the valet they can afford
Speaker 3: a new plan.
Speaker 1: Who does? By the way, though, seriously, I mean, what
Speaker 1: are we doing? Well?
Speaker 4: I walked around to the back entrance of the Lpoyo
Speaker 4: Loco and now as I'm walking in through the rear entrance,
Speaker 4: I'm noticing that there is commotion at the front counter.
Speaker 5: So not only is the.
Speaker 4: Entrance blocked, you couldn't get up to the cash register
Speaker 4: because there was a big scene going on. The second
Speaker 4: homeless person of this scene, and this homeless person was
Speaker 4: making almost like seizure movements, like convulsing.
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling your local police department and have a
Speaker 1: nice day.
Speaker 4: Okay, f that drink, I'm gonna pick up my food
Speaker 4: and get the hell out of here. Get over to
Speaker 4: the side of the side of the counter where one
Speaker 4: employee was and I'm like, I can I pick up
Speaker 4: my food and he's like, you'll have to wait. We
Speaker 4: haven't been able to make any orders in the last
Speaker 4: few minutes with everything going on. Like, holy crap, this
Speaker 4: crazy chicken place is really crazy craziness.
Speaker 1: Man, that's nuts.
Speaker 3: That's just a random Thursday in la or Wednesday.
Speaker 1: It's just it's insane going on.
Speaker 4: There, and so life hack. I backed out of there.
Speaker 4: I kept walking down the street. I walked into the
Speaker 4: Whole Foods and I went back to their little deli section.
Speaker 4: They make sandwiches that they jack people for like ten
Speaker 4: to thirteen dollars. Yeah, but on that menu you could
Speaker 4: get a PBJ or they call it a almond butter,
Speaker 4: but you can replace it with regular peanut butter. Four
Speaker 4: dollars for a big peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Speaker 1: That's good.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Score.
Speaker 4: It took an extra half hour to get back to work,
Speaker 4: but I walked in with a big peanut butter and
Speaker 4: jelly sandwich and a story about two homeless people up
Speaker 4: the i'l poyoko.
Speaker 1: Did you see any celebrities in there?
Speaker 3: I remember Tom Looney was so excited because he saw
Speaker 3: this obviously years ago. He's dead now, but Keith Jackson
Speaker 3: the voice of college football for so many people. And
Speaker 3: Keith used to live up in the hills when he
Speaker 3: was alive and above us, and he would go and
Speaker 3: shop in there. And Looney he told me the story
Speaker 3: for like two years, how he saw Keith Jackson looking
Speaker 3: at tomatoes at foods.
Speaker 4: At very same whole foods I've seen the award winning
Speaker 4: actress Juliet Lewis. No, there you go, handing right in
Speaker 4: front of me in line buying a few groceries.
Speaker 3: Well, this is Saturday, and we have backscratcher. Let's get
Speaker 3: backscratcher on, so you scratch our back. We scratched her back. Now.
Speaker 3: Last week we complained that we were still a couple
Speaker 3: of reviews away from four hundred, the round number of
Speaker 3: four hundred. So Danny g after belly aching and whining
Speaker 3: and koviching on the radio ashually the podcast, how many.
Speaker 1: Reviews did we get?
Speaker 3: Did we get this week five reviews? Did we get
Speaker 3: three reviews? Or are we total losers and got no reviews.
Speaker 4: Let's go back to Game one of Lakers Nuggets. They
Speaker 4: cut that twenty one deficit down to three. I'm gonna
Speaker 4: say three, Ben.
Speaker 3: The answer is three. The answer is three. And here
Speaker 3: are some of the views. We got five stars from
Speaker 3: James in Arkansas. He said, bad choice by you, Ben,
Speaker 3: Danny g is right. Cookie dough ice cream is disgusting,
Speaker 3: and he said, I love the podkast.
Speaker 1: No, I disagree.
Speaker 3: When I was a little kid, every once in a while, No,
Speaker 3: you're not supposed to do this, but my mom would
Speaker 3: give me a little cookie dough to eat, and I
Speaker 3: didn't die of some kind of weird illness, some food
Speaker 3: born illness.
Speaker 1: I survived. I prospered in life.
Speaker 3: And so cookie dough it's got to be the right mixture, though,
Speaker 3: it's got to be there's a certain proprietary blend. If
Speaker 3: there's too much cookie dough, it's a problem. If there's
Speaker 3: too much ice cream not enough cookie dough, there's a problem.
Speaker 3: But James, you have not had the right mix of
Speaker 3: cookie dough ice cream. It's the secret blend that you
Speaker 3: need to have.
Speaker 4: Raw cookie dough ice cream is the grossest besides pistachio.
Speaker 4: That green pistachio ice cream is also nasty, but cookie
Speaker 4: does right up there.
Speaker 3: You're wrong. We can agree to disagree on that. That's
Speaker 3: a bad take by you, Danny. That's the worst ice
Speaker 3: cream take I've ever heard. Wrong.
Speaker 1: Now we have from Walt Disney. How about this? Walt
Speaker 1: Disney reviewed our podcast.
Speaker 5: Yes, I love when ghosts chime in.
Speaker 3: Holy crap, all right, says entertaining show Ben and Danny
Speaker 3: G always have something interesting to chat a about, like
Speaker 3: homeless people blocking the door at a chicken shack in La. Says,
Speaker 3: I work at a school, so I can relate to
Speaker 3: Danny G's stories about school. Then has some great life
Speaker 3: acts like getting points for using bang.
Speaker 1: That's right. Get your money.
Speaker 3: Of course, you have to search every day for a year,
Speaker 3: like I do, five six hours a.
Speaker 1: Day to get any money, but I do.
Speaker 3: If you have a job like this, and I think
Speaker 3: of your teacher, you probably search a lot too. Also,
Speaker 3: I says, I listened to this podcast when I'm doing
Speaker 3: mundane weekend errands and chores. It's quite entertaining. Keep up
Speaker 3: the good work, guys. And that is from calls person Walt.
Speaker 3: I'm assuming that's not their real.
Speaker 5: Name, but thank you, thank you, mister Disney.
Speaker 1: And the last one is from can.
Speaker 4: You please lower the prices at the park back down
Speaker 4: to fifty cents?
Speaker 1: Yes, so we can actually afford on a radio salary
Speaker 1: to go. That would be nice.
Speaker 3: Jewles writes in, and she gives us a review and
Speaker 3: she says, awesome, five stars. I love listening at night.
Speaker 1: Check this out, Danny. When my husband snoring keeps me awake?
Speaker 5: Okay, wear a white noise.
Speaker 3: Racist yes, wedded Bliss, Danny g wetted Bliss. May I recommend,
Speaker 3: Jules my my wife does not snore, I don't think,
Speaker 3: but she does grind her teeth. I recommend a fan
Speaker 3: and some kind of either heater or air conditioner in
Speaker 3: the background. But you must also continue to listen to
Speaker 3: the podcast.
Speaker 5: You can hear teeth grinding.
Speaker 1: Oh it's bad, man, It's it's terrible. It's like nails
Speaker 1: on a chalkboard.
Speaker 3: But I can only really hear out of one of
Speaker 3: my ears, So as long as I turn my head
Speaker 3: the other way, I can't really hear it because I
Speaker 3: have one. I have one really messed up ear. My
Speaker 3: right ear is pretty mess up. My left ear is
Speaker 3: not that bad.
Speaker 5: Dude, together we are Voltron because my left ear is
Speaker 5: bad and my right ear is good.
Speaker 1: There you go, We're perfect. That's made in heaven.
Speaker 3: We've got We'll do a few pop goes the culture stories,
Speaker 3: and so we bring in our man, the myth, the legend. Ohio, Aljohn,
Speaker 3: all right, thank you, Ohio. Here we go, Tom Hanks.
Speaker 3: You see this story this week. Tom Hanks is planning
Speaker 3: on living forever. Now, not in flesh. He's not gonna
Speaker 3: live forever, but he will be on the big screen forever.
Speaker 3: All because Tom Hanks has given the blessing for his image,
Speaker 3: his voice, all of that to be recreated in movies
Speaker 3: long after Tom Hanks is dead. So if they want
Speaker 3: to make another Forrest Gump movie, they can have Tom
Speaker 3: Hanks in the movie. Hanks said that he had predicted
Speaker 3: twenty years ago that this is the.
Speaker 1: Way it's going to go.
Speaker 3: And he said in about twenty three to twenty four,
Speaker 3: he was working on the Polar Express and he said
Speaker 3: he had it an Epiphany's sixty six years old, and
Speaker 3: he's all in. He knows he'll be long gone, but
Speaker 3: they'll still make movies and he'll still be in the movies.
Speaker 1: And he's all fired up.
Speaker 4: This is like how the Ben Malor Show is still
Speaker 4: going to be on overnights on the network in thirty
Speaker 4: five years from now, because there's just going to be
Speaker 4: the computerized version of you.
Speaker 3: Well spoiler alert. And I don't know that we're allowed
Speaker 3: to say this, Danny. I actually stopped doing original audio
Speaker 3: content about five years ago.
Speaker 1: I made enough money the company and.
Speaker 3: So I actually retired from radio and I live in Hawaii,
Speaker 3: on the Island of Kawaii.
Speaker 1: I relocated to Hawaii, but I gave.
Speaker 3: The blessing to Don Martin and Scott Shapiro and the
Speaker 3: people over there at iHeart. I said, you know what,
Speaker 3: just keep keep sending stuff out there and uh and that,
Speaker 3: and they said, sure, no problem. Uh so yeah, I'm
Speaker 3: I'm fully retired, Nanny. You think I'd do a weekend podcast?
Speaker 1: I mean, are you kidding?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: This is all AI?
Speaker 5: Well that explains your old bad basketball takes.
Speaker 3: Well, no, those those basketball takes are outstanding, and those
Speaker 3: are actually updated. Because the thing about the AI, the
Speaker 3: the the company iHeart paid a lot of money for
Speaker 3: the AI and so they didn't just hobble around with
Speaker 3: some old technology and they know that the the new
Speaker 3: listeners to this original audio content. They know that the
Speaker 3: Clippers run LA and or is it should I say
Speaker 3: the Denver Nuggets run LA. Maybe that's the updated take
Speaker 3: on that, Danny, What.
Speaker 1: Is still wrong with the Clippers? Anyway?
Speaker 5: Last week it was the Warriors.
Speaker 3: Well, listen, I've evolved. If you cannot evolve, Danny G.
Speaker 3: You don't want to stay and do the same stuff
Speaker 3: over and over again. You have to grow, and you
Speaker 3: have to expand, and you have to take quantum leaps
Speaker 3: in life sometimes. And right now I'm a Denver Nuggets fan,
Speaker 3: and hopefully I'll continue to be a Nuggets fan. But
Speaker 3: maybe next week I'll be a Heat fan or a
Speaker 3: Celtic fan. I don't know, Loser, I have no idea,
Speaker 3: all right. Anyway, So chick fil A very popular Chick
Speaker 3: fil A, and they have decided, the company Chick fil A,
Speaker 3: that the very first ever Chick fil A location is
Speaker 3: not needed anymore, and so they have announced that actually
Speaker 3: today today is the day it is scheduled to close.
Speaker 3: It was originally established in nineteen sixty seven in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: And this is the.
Speaker 3: Greenbriar Mall in Southwest Atlanta. The first restaurant to use
Speaker 3: the Chick fil A name, and it goes back to
Speaker 3: the nineteen forties and it's closing its doors.
Speaker 1: It's closing its doors.
Speaker 3: There's a plaque commemorating the restaurant's history, they say there,
Speaker 3: but they're they're closing it down. Have you been to
Speaker 3: the it's not the original McDonald's, but I believe it's
Speaker 3: the oldest operating McDonald's, which is here in Downey.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in Downey, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, down in California. There's a little McDonald's museum attached
Speaker 4: to it.
Speaker 3: And fun fact, I believe that is the last location
Speaker 3: that makes the fried apple pie. Remember when used to
Speaker 3: go to McDonald's, you get that fried apple pie and
Speaker 3: you burn the roof.
Speaker 1: Of your mouth.
Speaker 4: Not only get one of them, and get two of
Speaker 4: them because they were two for a dollar.
Speaker 1: So good, so good. I love that. Oh it's great.
Speaker 5: I miss those.
Speaker 3: Now they bake the apple pie, they don't, it's not
Speaker 3: made the same way.
Speaker 4: A lot of the locations don't even have them all together.
Speaker 3: So but I am told that that location the original.
Speaker 3: And if you're in southern California, and a lot of
Speaker 3: our listeners are Downy, if you want the fried apple Pie.
Speaker 1: That's that's the spot to go. That's the spot.
Speaker 3: Speaking of McDonald's, there has been a rule at the
Speaker 3: Golden Arches, and this is a pop goes to the
Speaker 3: culture story here that if you work at McDonald's, if
Speaker 3: you have a customer come in and say, you know
Speaker 3: what I want fifteen big Max, I want seventeen fries,
Speaker 3: I want milkshakes.
Speaker 1: They are not allowed to accept tips.
Speaker 3: But in Colorado, in Colorado, that may soon change, Danny, Yeah,
Speaker 3: because the Department of Labor, as they're working, McDonald's workers
Speaker 3: in Colorado may soon be allowed to accept tips.
Speaker 1: And they get into all the details here.
Speaker 3: They say the state of Colorado, there's a new law
Speaker 3: that would circumvent the ban on tips, and it says
Speaker 3: employers like McDonald's and Walmart would be prohibited from taking
Speaker 3: adverse action against any employee who accepts a cash gratuity
Speaker 3: offered to buy a patron.
Speaker 1: To the to the business.
Speaker 5: There you go.
Speaker 4: But maybe it was because they were going to unionize,
Speaker 4: like the strippers in North Hollywood.
Speaker 1: Oh I did I did hear about that?
Speaker 3: Do you think there'll be any strip clubs left in
Speaker 3: North Hollywood by the time this gets done, Danny.
Speaker 1: Do you think.
Speaker 3: What do you think you think there'll still be strip
Speaker 3: clubs there? Or you're just gonna move to the Van
Speaker 3: Eyes and call it a day. Yep, Yeah, anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 3: so there's a there's a bill out there.
Speaker 1: We'll see if it passes. I don't I don't want
Speaker 1: to offend anyone.
Speaker 3: But if I'm going to Mickey D's to get some
Speaker 3: nuggets and some fries, do I really need the tip?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 4: Yeah, come on, especially with the cost of food nowadays,
Speaker 4: we're already paying double for what we should be paying
Speaker 4: for fast food.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: Well, there's another food related so a lot of food
Speaker 3: related stories and pop go's the culture this week?
Speaker 1: What's up with that? So a competitive eater named Motion
Speaker 1: is his that's his nickname.
Speaker 3: He's got a very tough name to pronounce, but he
Speaker 3: goes by a notion emotion rather. And this guy was
Speaker 3: chowing down at a Golden Corral and kissing me Florida,
Speaker 3: formerly the spring training home of the Astros back when
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 1: A kid and the Asstros.
Speaker 3: He was visiting the city trying to qualify for the
Speaker 3: Nathan's Hot Dog Eating contest which is coming up in July,
Speaker 3: which means we gotta get Joey Chestnut back on. And
Speaker 3: this guy, he went out at the Golden Corral and
Speaker 3: his meal included multiple cheeseburgers, pounds of popcorn, shrimp, mac
Speaker 3: and cheese, pizza, steak, and French fries. However, as he
Speaker 3: was taking part in the massive feast and gorging and
Speaker 3: gorging and gorging, the man ended up being banned from
Speaker 3: the Golden Corral.
Speaker 1: Apparently he a.
Speaker 3: Little too far. There's also an issue where he was
Speaker 3: like recording. I guess he was recording some of the
Speaker 3: employees for the YouTube or for the internet. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I have not been to a I don't think I've
Speaker 3: ever eaten at a Golden Corral?
Speaker 1: Have you ever eaten at a Golden Corral?
Speaker 5: I've been to a Golden Corral before?
Speaker 1: Is it worth our time?
Speaker 4: Or I would say that my mom would like it
Speaker 4: if I took her to Golden Corral in someplace?
Speaker 1: Our parents like, okay, what about have you been to
Speaker 1: the cracker barrel? I've been to the cracker barrel? Before
Speaker 1: you ever eaten at a cracker barrel?
Speaker 5: I've never been to a cracker barrel.
Speaker 1: To me, Yeah, there's one in Vegas. There's actually there's
Speaker 1: a few. They've They've always.
Speaker 3: Was a Southern place, but they've spread across the country.
Speaker 3: I've eaten there a couple times. The first time I
Speaker 3: eat there, I thought it was amazing. They give you
Speaker 3: big portions of food. It's kind of weird though. You
Speaker 3: walk in there's a gift shop. It's a strange situation.
Speaker 3: But I enjoyed my meal the first time. So we
Speaker 3: went back and I was like, oh, we got to
Speaker 3: go back, and I hated it. It was like it
Speaker 3: was like the shit, like the time of the day
Speaker 3: where the shift was changing over and the kitchen staff
Speaker 3: was changing over, so the food half the food was cold.
Speaker 1: And it was just nasty. So and I haven't been back.
Speaker 1: I've not been back since since that event. I think
Speaker 1: that's it. I think we'll get out on that.
Speaker 3: We've got the mail bag tomorrow, but don't forget Tonight
Speaker 3: is the night I hopefully will be able to meet
Speaker 3: you if you're in the Greater Minneapolis area today five
Speaker 3: pm to nine pm at the Malther meet and greet.
Speaker 5: A bunch of cocaine and hookers.
Speaker 3: Well, we'll see what happens, Danny. Dead men tell no tales.
Speaker 3: I learned that from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Speaker 1: But we will see what happens Mermaid in an event
Speaker 1: center tonight.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a lot of fun and we'll, hopefully,
Speaker 3: depending on how the company comes up with some money,
Speaker 3: we'll have complete coverage, in depth team coverage. When I
Speaker 3: started at Fox Sports Radio, one of our bosses said,
Speaker 3: why anytime there's a big story, you have to use
Speaker 3: the catchphrase in depth team coverage, and so you know
Speaker 3: something's big if you hear in depth team coverage.
Speaker 4: Now, would you like to address the rumors that ESPN
Speaker 4: was thinking about using their budget on this post game
Speaker 4: versus signing Pat McAfee.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it really was.
Speaker 3: It was a toss up and unfortunately the coin came
Speaker 3: up with Pat McAfee's face on it and we lost out.
Speaker 1: Which is the story of my life, Danny.
Speaker 3: This story of my life as we will get out
Speaker 3: on that. Anything you want to promote, Danny, it's Saturday.
