Speaker 1: Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of
Speaker 1: the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse, the Clearinghouse of Hot takes
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, The Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour with Ben Mallard and Danny g Radio. Because five
Speaker 1: nights a week, in four hours a night are not enough.
Speaker 1: It's not trigonometry. So we are here for the Saturday
Speaker 1: podcast Danny Evie Amazing Mystery Tour, the Amazing Mystery Tour
Speaker 1: here which is going to blow everyone away. This's a
Speaker 1: bottom my rady to bring the gap. So on this
Speaker 1: edition of the podcast, we have a pot pourri of issues.
Speaker 1: We've got raising Arizona, deep fake and nin on one
Speaker 1: standing by possibly not in that order, plus Backscratcher and
Speaker 1: whatever else happens whenever else comes up on the conversation.
Speaker 1: Let's get right into it on this edition of the
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour, and we start this past Friday. This is
Speaker 1: a this is a podcast exclusive. What I'm about to
Speaker 1: tell Danny. Nobody else has this content, all right, and
Speaker 1: everyone wishes they had the content, but they don't. We're
Speaker 1: the only audio program that has this. I feel like
Speaker 1: we said this on our podcast last weekend too. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: But I did something I've never done before or and
Speaker 1: I saved it for the podcast. Nobody knows this outside
Speaker 1: of my family. You pay me five dollars, I'll endorse
Speaker 1: a game magazine. But this past Friday was a crazy
Speaker 1: zany day. So I decided I needed to do a
Speaker 1: good mitzvah and I needed to go on a pilgrimage,
Speaker 1: a good wheel journey. So after I got off the
Speaker 1: radio from the overnight show Thursday into Friday, I winded
Speaker 1: down for a few hours. I laid down, I played
Speaker 1: on my phone, played some games on my phone. I
Speaker 1: took a bath. I didn't sleep more than an hour.
Speaker 1: I then, around eight in the morning, loaded up the
Speaker 1: mallarmobile with the wife. We ran a couple of arrands,
Speaker 1: said make a pit stop here at Costco to get gas,
Speaker 1: and then we set off to the Great Blue Yonder
Speaker 1: driving in the California desert in the middle of nowhere.
Speaker 1: We headed headed east go east, young man. We stopped
Speaker 1: in Palm Springs for a a drink, non alcoholic and
Speaker 1: a sandwich. Actually the sandwich was in Indio, and we
Speaker 1: we kept have you been, Have you've been? There's a
Speaker 1: supposedly a legendary sandwich shop in Indio. Oh, I know Indio.
Speaker 1: I have a radio friend there. And one thing I
Speaker 1: like about that area. They have some A and W
Speaker 1: root bear stands left over. Yeah. No, this was like
Speaker 1: a sandwich shop. They said they were the top rated
Speaker 1: sandwich shop on Yelp a couple of years ago. So
Speaker 1: my wife said, oh, we gotta stop there. I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: I don't really want, you know whatever. But we went
Speaker 1: and then we got back on the road and made
Speaker 1: the boringest drive you could possibly make. I haven't done
Speaker 1: this in years. I used to do this semi regular
Speaker 1: when I covered spring training. But I went to Arizona.
Speaker 1: I went to Phoenix, the Phoenix there. I was in Mesa, Arizona,
Speaker 1: the spring training home of the Chicago Cubs, and I
Speaker 1: drove all the way there and all the way back.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. The mission I mentioned good match
Speaker 1: for us. So a cousin of mine who I grew
Speaker 1: up with I've known since since he was born. I
Speaker 1: was a little kid. We grew up together and we
Speaker 1: were little kids, and then he moved away. A huge
Speaker 1: sports fan, he got he got some some bad medical
Speaker 1: news this week, and so you don't want to see him,
Speaker 1: kind of cheer him up. He had his his lady
Speaker 1: friend there and take take them out to a nice meal.
Speaker 1: So on. On my very short weekend, it took all
Speaker 1: day to get to our destination because of the medication
Speaker 1: he's on and whatnot, and he had a medical procedure.
Speaker 1: He told me he wasn't going to be really awake
Speaker 1: until late afternoon. So that's why I left when I did.
Speaker 1: Otherwise I would have left in the middle of the
Speaker 1: night and would have made great time. But we got
Speaker 1: We got the Phoenix right in rush hour on Friday,
Speaker 1: and so we had to deal with that, which is
Speaker 1: not like It's Phoenix Nightmare, which is not anywhere close
Speaker 1: to l A traffic, but still it was traffic and
Speaker 1: and all that. So I got to the destination, arrived
Speaker 1: in time just to watch the Knicks. They were playing
Speaker 1: the Bucks, and we also had Game one of the
Speaker 1: World Serious. That's why I watched Game one of the
Speaker 1: World series that his his condo there in Arizona, Phillies
Speaker 1: and and assholes. We can say that because this podcast
Speaker 1: of the Assholes. And the thing I did not expect
Speaker 1: Danny on this pilgrimage was when I got to my
Speaker 1: cousin's apartment and you know, he's sitting there, is not
Speaker 1: really moving around much, kind of dealing with that medical malaise.
Speaker 1: And he's living in this relatively reasonably sized townhouse condo thing,
Speaker 1: and he's got not one, not too but three dogs.
Speaker 1: These are not normal sized dogs. These not little dogs.
Speaker 1: These are these are large dogs. Danny with the big barks,
Speaker 1: big barks, big ship, the whole thing. Massive dogs, very
Speaker 1: loving dogs, dogs that I don't think realize how big
Speaker 1: they are. They think they're little dogs and they're big dogs.
Speaker 1: And these dogs were also doing something that I don't
Speaker 1: really have to deal with much with Bella. They were shedding.
Speaker 1: Bella sheds a little bit. These dogs, it was like
Speaker 1: they were at the barber shop. Yeah. Yeah, Bell is
Speaker 1: an expert. If you need a dog to ship or piss,
Speaker 1: and then what Bell is really good at is pissing
Speaker 1: and then walking through it so you can track everywhere
Speaker 1: she walks on the floor here. Everywhere she walks. Her
Speaker 1: little paw prints are you can tell exactly as she
Speaker 1: braves the elements of her piss and and walks her
Speaker 1: But these dogs very nice, very kind. But it was
Speaker 1: I was not expecting it. So I was a little
Speaker 1: overwhelmed by the dogs and so many dogs. They actually
Speaker 1: had gates around the sofa to keep the dogs away. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, is this a wild I was I gonna
Speaker 1: as at a zoo, and it was. It kind of
Speaker 1: felt like the human beings were the ones in the
Speaker 1: cage and the dogs had the run of the place,
Speaker 1: is what it felt like. And by the time we
Speaker 1: ended up leaving to go get a bite to eat,
Speaker 1: I was covered, My wife was covered in from head
Speaker 1: to toe. And dog here and it made made for
Speaker 1: some interesting we We We had those you know those
Speaker 1: rollers you used. I was just gonna ask about that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he had he had the rollers and we were
Speaker 1: I was trying to roll the hair off my wife's dress.
Speaker 1: I had hair everywhere, and they have these little sticky
Speaker 1: things on the roller you're supposed to see. We went
Speaker 1: through like nine ten of them. Yeah, it's crazy, and
Speaker 1: they don't work. Well, they worked to a certain extent, right,
Speaker 1: they're not that good. You're right, like they'll get the
Speaker 1: surface off, but you still have the fine here left
Speaker 1: on your clothes. And it's super annoying and uncomfortable to
Speaker 1: have that much animal for on you. Yeah, it was bad.
Speaker 1: And I hadn't been in that kind of situation in
Speaker 1: a long time where dogs, just three dogs are all
Speaker 1: shedding and they're like jumping between me and the wife,
Speaker 1: going back and forth, and and my cousin. It was crazy,
Speaker 1: he's gonna clean that place? Well, I unfortunately believe my
Speaker 1: my cousin's girlfriend. And when she got off work, we
Speaker 1: went to the sports bar, which is great. It's it's
Speaker 1: probably my only cousin that really likes sports, like the
Speaker 1: only guy, and you know, he he gets the language
Speaker 1: of sports. So we were like, let's go to a
Speaker 1: sports bar. We'll eat some chicken wings and we'll watch
Speaker 1: the game and be married. And so you know, he's
Speaker 1: still recovering, so kind of moving a little slow. We walked,
Speaker 1: We walked to the car, go to out the sports
Speaker 1: bar and uh, and that's where I watched the rest
Speaker 1: of the assholes and as they played the Phillies and
Speaker 1: that great comeback in Game one of the World Series. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so he had to go to bed or early though,
Speaker 1: even though I drove all the way to Phoenix's you know,
Speaker 1: major operations on a lot of medications. So he had
Speaker 1: to go to bed early. And so around nine, nine
Speaker 1: o'clock or so, uh, we we said, all right, go
Speaker 1: to bed, get your rest. And then we decided, you
Speaker 1: know what, I think what we need to do is
Speaker 1: catch up with I mean, Arizona and I have other
Speaker 1: family I did not see. I haven't been to Phoenix
Speaker 1: in like seventeen years. Actually it's been less than that.
Speaker 1: I was there for a Clipper playoff game with Elton
Speaker 1: Brand when they played the Suns and the Sunset Mike
Speaker 1: D'Antoni still coaching them and all that. So that's how
Speaker 1: long ago I know, right, and Mari Stodhomyer was playing
Speaker 1: there in all of Goods. So anyway, so it's been
Speaker 1: a lot of time. So I sent a text over
Speaker 1: to a Fox Sports radio alumnus to see if they
Speaker 1: were available for a nice brief meet and Creek, and
Speaker 1: I got a response. Yeah. Well, early on I got
Speaker 1: a response no, And then later on I got a
Speaker 1: response yes, the rate. You want to take a guess
Speaker 1: who I who? I ran down here? The great No.
Speaker 1: Tony lives in Florida. Man, he's he's in the Sunshine State.
Speaker 1: I knew he was in a hot state. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's in Florida. Uh. Turk Stevens. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you remember. I remember Turkey did updates. Yeah, Turk was
Speaker 1: an update guy. He worked on my show for a
Speaker 1: long time. He also worked at NBC Sports Radio, which
Speaker 1: that's where I worked with him. And he also was
Speaker 1: a PE coach. Yes, right, that's what he's doing now.
Speaker 1: He's out of the business, savvy sports radio veteran. He's
Speaker 1: a father, has got his kids, he's keeping an eye
Speaker 1: on and he's a PE teacher in Arizona's been out
Speaker 1: of the radio business for a couple of years. He
Speaker 1: misses it, but he doesn't miss the bullshit and radio
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of it in any business. But
Speaker 1: he is a p teacher. Got to hang out with
Speaker 1: him and his son. Wonderful. That kid's gonna run some
Speaker 1: company someday. That kid really real sharp. Congratulations. So we
Speaker 1: ended up heading back to l I only visited him
Speaker 1: like an hour and a half. We headed back to
Speaker 1: l A around eleven pm and by the time we
Speaker 1: got back to the north Woods the sun was rising.
Speaker 1: Took a long time. We had stopped at a rest
Speaker 1: stop to my wife wanted to take a little bit
Speaker 1: of a nap, and so um I drove nent of this.
Speaker 1: We went eight hundred and two miles, spent twelve hours
Speaker 1: and forty two minutes driving, and we're absolutely and one day,
Speaker 1: basically one day and travel. I looked it up. The
Speaker 1: amount of mileage we went is the equivalent of driving
Speaker 1: from New York City to Toronto, from New York to
Speaker 1: bar Harbor, Maine to Montreal, from New York to Ottawa
Speaker 1: to Roanoke, Virginia, from the Big Apple, or if we
Speaker 1: were in Boston, we would have driven to d C
Speaker 1: and then back to Boston or to Buffalo or Chicago
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh. That for data. It was a wild and
Speaker 1: crazy day and I likely am going to be doing
Speaker 1: that again in the near future, so I'll probably be
Speaker 1: back on the road again in a short amount of time.
Speaker 1: So we'll we'll see how that how that goes, But
Speaker 1: that was my raising Arizona. Will have another footnote on
Speaker 1: that coming up. Later in the podcast nine one one
Speaker 1: standing by staying by. Yeah, your wife could have possibly
Speaker 1: taken one call. Exactly a week ago Saturday morning, I
Speaker 1: was up early doing post production on this very podcast
Speaker 1: right here, and God bless my my tender rowning. She
Speaker 1: will get up early with me on Saturday. She goes
Speaker 1: downstairs to the kitchen, make some scrambled eggs, puts them
Speaker 1: in a healthy tortilla wrap, the low carboes, the ones
Speaker 1: that are supposed to be better for you. But who
Speaker 1: are the green Yeah, the green spinach ones. Yeah, so yeah,
Speaker 1: why rule and a burrito? But it it tastes Okay,
Speaker 1: how many calories are you saving on that? By the way,
Speaker 1: I know? Right, she walked up with a nice plate
Speaker 1: of like two egg Burritoska. She's like you, Ben, she
Speaker 1: doesn't like milk as you call it. I'm not a
Speaker 1: milk I'm not a milk drinker. She's not either. She
Speaker 1: she'll have almond milk in the refrigerator, but thinks regular
Speaker 1: milk is disgusting. Is disgusted by the way it looks,
Speaker 1: the way it smells everything, the way you hate ranch.
Speaker 1: That's the way she hates milk. Part I don't know
Speaker 1: if she was like, remember she was a little girl.
Speaker 1: When I was growing up, I had like my mom
Speaker 1: force fed me milk and sandwiches, and I despised both
Speaker 1: and I but I did love the chocolate milk for
Speaker 1: a while, but then I got tired of that, and
Speaker 1: occasionally we had the strawberry milk. But even that, as
Speaker 1: a growing up, I'm like, no, no, So I feel
Speaker 1: what she's you're going to be bride is going through.
Speaker 1: She was tortured just like you. She tells a tale
Speaker 1: of her and her brother sitting around the dinner table
Speaker 1: and they were not allowed to get up until their
Speaker 1: vegetables were eaten off their plate and their glass of
Speaker 1: milk had been drank. The milk for her was just
Speaker 1: as hard as the vegetables. Which I don't understand that
Speaker 1: because I could get rid of the milk fast the vegetables.
Speaker 1: My older brother and I used to do the napkin
Speaker 1: trick under the table. Um. But but the milk, as
Speaker 1: long as it's cold, well, I understand if it's room temperature,
Speaker 1: it's been sitting a long time gross, But cold milk
Speaker 1: I like, especially with like a nice breakfast. If there's
Speaker 1: ketchup and eggs. If there's bacon something like that, cold
Speaker 1: milk really washes that down. Well, I'm more of an
Speaker 1: o J guyt a murder Now, I like the juice.
Speaker 1: I go not the o J the football, but I
Speaker 1: love the juice. I'm all about the juice. And I
Speaker 1: so you remember Looney, I'm Tom Looney. When I worked
Speaker 1: with Looney, he would complain, he'd bitch. He said, eat
Speaker 1: the orange, don't drink the juice. And and really that
Speaker 1: was around the time I stopped drinking orange juice. I
Speaker 1: used to drink it on the weekends and in the
Speaker 1: morning when I go in and I have to work early.
Speaker 1: Do the football show that we did, and I loved
Speaker 1: orange juice. And he said, you know, there's twenty five
Speaker 1: oranges and one glass of orange juice. And so he's, uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I like orange juice. It's a little too citrusy. Sometimes
Speaker 1: it bothers my stomach a little bit. The milk is
Speaker 1: a nice way to soothe your stomach. That's why a
Speaker 1: good milkshake is always good for your diet. And the
Speaker 1: odd thing is, I don't like a glass of milk,
Speaker 1: but when you mix ice cream into it, I'm okay.
Speaker 1: With it like a milkshake. I'm I'm fine. I don't
Speaker 1: love the milkshake, but I'm not anti milkshake. I have
Speaker 1: a pro position. Yeah, funny how that happens. So let's
Speaker 1: back up a whole year ago. Uh, my Tinderoni made
Speaker 1: a smoothie for me, brought it upstairs, set it on
Speaker 1: my nightstand, and I was half awake, you know, we
Speaker 1: were crazy radio hours, and instead of grabbing the cup,
Speaker 1: I grabbed the top of the cup. It came apart, reddish, purplish,
Speaker 1: healthy smoothie spilled all over the carpet. Remember this, Yes,
Speaker 1: I I mentioned this on a podcast about a year ago.
Speaker 1: Now she freaked the funk out. All right. There are
Speaker 1: two things when it comes to the house, and that's
Speaker 1: anything red getting near the carpet or milk spilling on
Speaker 1: the carpet. Well, the melt. The melt. It's like a
Speaker 1: double whammy because not only do you have a liquids,
Speaker 1: but if you don't clean it upright, you got the stench.
Speaker 1: So I that's completely understand. I've only spilled something one time.
Speaker 1: I've known her now for two years. In that two
Speaker 1: year period, I've spilled something exactly once. Well, you know
Speaker 1: how it goes though, Danny, right, you can be an
Speaker 1: upstanding citizen. You could kill one person, they call you
Speaker 1: a murder. So you destroyed one. You spill it one
Speaker 1: spill so you're a spiller and just called the ray
Speaker 1: Kerruth in the eyes of your the eyes of your
Speaker 1: your lady, you're a spiller. You're a spill hazard. I
Speaker 1: am the ray Kerruth of her carpet. Your your Klotz
Speaker 1: is what you are. I mean, she knew I was
Speaker 1: half awake. She understood how it happened. She said, you know,
Speaker 1: it's my fault. I should have used a different cup,
Speaker 1: blah blah. So it seemed fine at the moment, but
Speaker 1: this is something she has never let me live down since.
Speaker 1: And now, after she handed me these two healthy burritos,
Speaker 1: she said, what would you like to drink? And I said, well,
Speaker 1: some nice cold milk would be great with this because
Speaker 1: there's some ketchup in salsa and these burritos. So let's go.
Speaker 1: She goes downstairs, she comes up ben with an iron
Speaker 1: clad oh, one of the no spill cups, Like, yeah, right, okay,
Speaker 1: but she but she's looking at me as if I
Speaker 1: don't trust you. This is supposed to be spill proof,
Speaker 1: but I think you're gonna spill it. So she hands
Speaker 1: it to me and she's, you know, she's not saying anything,
Speaker 1: but she's not taking her eyes off of this this tumbler.
Speaker 1: So I put it on the on the nightstand. She
Speaker 1: goes over to her side of the bed and she's
Speaker 1: she's gonna start reading her book while I'm doing my
Speaker 1: my audio editing. And Ben, it was precise timing. Also
Speaker 1: on my nightstand, I had a water bottle with excellent timing.
Speaker 1: I dropped the full water bottle onto the floor and
Speaker 1: as I did it, I said, oh shit. She turned around.
Speaker 1: The color had left her face. She went from normal
Speaker 1: looking to pale within two seconds. She thought for sure
Speaker 1: I had spilled this milk all over the carpet. And
Speaker 1: I realized I messed up because when she looked over
Speaker 1: and she saw what really had happened, she said, you
Speaker 1: fuck her? Why would you do that? Uh? Ben, I
Speaker 1: I'm a good thing. I retook my CPR class last year.
Speaker 1: I am up to date on the certification. Because she
Speaker 1: was very close to going into cardiac arrest. Wow, well
Speaker 1: you're the you're the fifteen percent, right, there's a study
Speaker 1: done years ago. He said eight percent of what people
Speaker 1: worry about it never happens. But the other fifteen percent
Speaker 1: of the time it does happen. And you're the fifteen
Speaker 1: percent where she was freaking out because he spilled that. Actually,
Speaker 1: I have something in common with you because this past week,
Speaker 1: what I do is I like my ice water and
Speaker 1: I actually have a tumbler like a sip we call,
Speaker 1: you know, sippy cup whatever, you can't spill it, and
Speaker 1: I usually have that near my side of the bed.
Speaker 1: And my my wife had bought these really nice side
Speaker 1: tables that have like power connected to him and all that,
Speaker 1: so you can plug your phone in and charge it
Speaker 1: or whatever. It's been pretty cool thing. So I'm sleeping
Speaker 1: and I don't usually move that much in my sleep,
Speaker 1: but I guess either I moved or I knocked a
Speaker 1: pillow or something. I don't know what happened. But I
Speaker 1: wake up and I see my my sippy you know,
Speaker 1: thermis thing is spilled on its side and there's water everywhere.
Speaker 1: And I'm lucky I did not start a fire, but
Speaker 1: I totally shorted out the nice table right near the bed. There.
Speaker 1: It's completely gone. Is there any way to fix that
Speaker 1: without replacing it to any you think there's any way
Speaker 1: to fix the like if it dries out, is there,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think so. Is it doesn't
Speaker 1: have burn marks. And I didn't examine it too much
Speaker 1: because it was I was so piste off that like
Speaker 1: what I had done, like you should go back and
Speaker 1: and check and that also this, this whole conversation reminds
Speaker 1: me of the early days of Fox Sports. Rader. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you were there for this or not,
Speaker 1: but somebody spilled water into the board, oh man, which
Speaker 1: is the most expensive part of a radio station outside
Speaker 1: of the transmitter. And uh so what they did was
Speaker 1: nobody coped to it, nobody admitted to it, and they
Speaker 1: were really piste off. They decided the solution was to
Speaker 1: buy everyone at the company a thermis, that a non
Speaker 1: spill thermis. That was That was the move there. I
Speaker 1: remember this story, yeah, which seemed like a great idea,
Speaker 1: but um, it turns out some people like to drink
Speaker 1: those thermisis without the cap on, which kind of defeats
Speaker 1: the purpose. We're actually going to be in a beautiful
Speaker 1: studio coming up in a couple of months, something we
Speaker 1: haven't discussed on the podcast yet. Yeah, I'm I'm excited
Speaker 1: about that. You want to get into that now or
Speaker 1: should we wait until the big reveal happens. I guess
Speaker 1: we should tease it right now. But yeah, we'll have
Speaker 1: a big reveal coming up. There was a listener who
Speaker 1: kept emailing us on the podcast asking us about our
Speaker 1: big move to Burbank. Well, that has been replaced with
Speaker 1: something else, and we'll just leave the tease right there. Yea,
Speaker 1: for now, for now done, and we will be walking
Speaker 1: in the footsteps a llegends when this happens. Okay, we
Speaker 1: will be following in the footsteps of leaking two different legends. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: that's all we're gonna say. It's all we're gonna say.
Speaker 1: And you'll have to figure that out while you're walking
Speaker 1: around the Pigley Wigley. So we have the deep fake that.
Speaker 1: Moving on, I want to go back to my time
Speaker 1: in Phoenix, my one day less than twenty four hours
Speaker 1: in the Valley of the Sun and that greater area,
Speaker 1: and it's I'm such a loser. When I drive through Phoenix, Danny,
Speaker 1: I think of who's spring training town is this? I
Speaker 1: was in Chandler. I was like, Oh, that's the Brewers.
Speaker 1: I drove through good Year. I was like, I think
Speaker 1: that's the Reds and the team formerly known as the Indians.
Speaker 1: Also the birthplace of Bellinger. Yeah that's right, that's right.
Speaker 1: So I'm, you know, driving around there, and I'm looking
Speaker 1: at all the spring training towns and we did go
Speaker 1: to Mason, as I said, So, I decided on my
Speaker 1: way out of Phoenix, before we got back on the road,
Speaker 1: I decided to have some fun with my younger brother.
Speaker 1: I'm a middle child, so I have an older and
Speaker 1: a younger brother. My younger brother lives in Appleton, Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: You might remember the story. Went back to visit him
Speaker 1: back in May, had a good time in Wisconsin, in
Speaker 1: Illinois and all that, so he knows I love cheese Kurds.
Speaker 1: But on my way out of the Greater Phoenix metropolitan area,
Speaker 1: I noticed they had Culver's, which is a mid It's
Speaker 1: like a Wisconsin fast food place. It's an Upper Midwest
Speaker 1: fast food chain called Culver's. I talked about it on
Speaker 1: the podcast I loved call we ate It. When you
Speaker 1: went on your family trip, you talked about that place. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we ate there. Several times, and it was it was great.
Speaker 1: I loved it. And they're known for the butter burger
Speaker 1: and the cheese kurds and a bunch of other stuff.
Speaker 1: They've got all kinds of great desserts and really really
Speaker 1: good I said, you know what I mean, maybe that's
Speaker 1: some funnier. So I made the rare and appropriate, rare
Speaker 1: and appropriate late night meal run. And I did it
Speaker 1: mainly for two reasons. A. I love the food, and
Speaker 1: B I wanted to goof on my my brother. So
Speaker 1: I went in there and I ordered a burger and
Speaker 1: some kurds. My my wife wanted a few pretzel bites.
Speaker 1: I then took a bunch of pictures and sent them
Speaker 1: to my brother, and I said, guess where I am,
Speaker 1: you know? And he he didn't. He didn't know there's
Speaker 1: Culver's in anywhere other than like Wisconsin and Minnesota and
Speaker 1: you know that part of the country. And so he
Speaker 1: was completely confused. He thought maybe it was like a
Speaker 1: deep fake Danny, but it was real. It was legitimate,
Speaker 1: and and so uh, there are I did not realize
Speaker 1: there are thirty seven locations of that chain in Arizona. Now, WHOA,
Speaker 1: that's a ton I the last time I thought they
Speaker 1: had like one in Arizona. Now I have thirty seven
Speaker 1: the Grand Kaingan State. I stopped at the location for
Speaker 1: our friends in in Arizona. Stopped at the location off McDowell's,
Speaker 1: which I think is the same street. When I was
Speaker 1: a kid, the Phoenix Sons used to play at this
Speaker 1: old barn and they called it the The man at
Speaker 1: a house on McDowell is what they call it, if
Speaker 1: I remember correctly. And so that's where I was, and
Speaker 1: so pull the prank took some pictures. My brother couldn't believe.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, so that was my and I really
Speaker 1: enjoyed the meal, which means I'm either I was either
Speaker 1: really hungry or it's really good. I'm not sure. My
Speaker 1: wife not not as big a fan, not as big
Speaker 1: a fan. Bad job by her not not getting not
Speaker 1: getting out and figuring it out, all right, the backscratcher,
Speaker 1: we'll get out on this. You scratch our back, we'll
Speaker 1: scratch your back. It is our weekly tip of the
Speaker 1: on air light to you, the loyal p one, the
Speaker 1: minion in the Mallard Militia. And so these are actual
Speaker 1: reviews from actual listeners to the fifth hour. Very simple
Speaker 1: to do. You lay it all out, Danny. It's all
Speaker 1: in the podcast profile, very simple, right, Just follow the
Speaker 1: instructions and you can join the fun here. Super easy
Speaker 1: to leave a five star review, just click on this
Speaker 1: very descript in right here, and then when you're inside

Speaker 1: page down a little bit underneath that, it says write
Speaker 1: a review. Click on that it will let you make
Speaker 1: a user name, and then you leave your review. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and for some reason, and we're really not sure why,
Speaker 1: but the management lurks around the Apple podcast picker man.
Speaker 1: We don't really know why that is, but they do,
Speaker 1: and that's what they care about. Danny laid it all
Speaker 1: out for you, and that is what they they take
Speaker 1: notice of. They jot down what people are saying and
Speaker 1: all that. So if you want to help us out, great,
Speaker 1: If you want to screw us over, write a nasty review,
Speaker 1: but either way, it's available to you. How many reviews
Speaker 1: do you think we got this week, Danny g Last
Speaker 1: week we had a bunch. How many this week do
Speaker 1: you think we got one, two, three, four or none?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, let's see. Last week, I think too
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say three this week. Three. You are Mr
Speaker 1: Optimistic and you are wrong. We got one, But if
Speaker 1: I feel like it's worth three because it came on Halloween,
Speaker 1: and so the fact that somebody took time out on
Speaker 1: Halloween to brighter review for the podcast, that's kind of cool, right,
Speaker 1: that's a good point. I think management would take that
Speaker 1: into account. Yeah, it's not like we're using strong arm
Speaker 1: tactics here, Daddy, were just asking people to help us out.
Speaker 1: Some people want to help us out, some people already have.
Speaker 1: Other people are scaredy cats and don't want to do it.
Speaker 1: So John writes in uh headline on this excellent five stars.
Speaker 1: He says, this podcast is outstanding entertainment for me and
Speaker 1: my two German short haired pointers. After our uh chakr hunt.

Speaker 1: is that? I don't know. I'm not sure, all right,
Speaker 1: he says, we are relaxing in my camper with all
Speaker 1: the luxuries at home. We are way out here in
Speaker 1: the mountain country of eastern Oregon. Well that's pretty cool.

Speaker 1: around and all that we put in our miles each
Speaker 1: day pursuing the elusive chi Car Partridge. I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to look this up here or something. I don't let me.
Speaker 1: Let me see here. Let's put a little music in
