1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: Kutbooms.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 3: Wow.

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.

10
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 3: In the air emywhere just relax your mind because the

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 3: weekend has begun, at least for me, and I don't

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 3: know for Danny.

13
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: He's still got other stuff to do.

14
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 3: But it is the Fifth Hour with me, Ben Mahler

15
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 3: and the man booing over there, Danny g. As we

16
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 3: slide in to the extra Crispy not original recipe. This

17
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: is the Extra Spicy Fifth Hour podcast. And it is Friday,

18
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 3: the third day of May. As we head into the weekend,

19
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 3: it's Kentucky Derby weekend, which means over the weekend we

20
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 3: will have lots of photos on social media of really

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 3: wealthy people and people that think they're very important wearing

22
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: really funny hats.

23
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 4: If you hadn't read the DraftKings, Kentucky Derby commercial of

24
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 4: the past two weeks. Would you have known that it

25
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 4: was coming up this weekend?

26
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 3: No, We've done that National Thoroughbred Racing commercial a ton.

27
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 4: Oh yeah for the safety, yeah, the improvements of the

28
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 4: safety of the sport. Yeah.

29
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: So I'm not that bright, I admit it. I don't

30
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: really know that much.

31
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 3: But I figured that since we were doing that, there

32
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: must be a big horse race. And then I was like, well,

33
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 3: it's I can't believe it's already May. That's usually what

34
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 3: happens after April. And I was like, okay, so this

35
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 3: is around the time we have the Kentucky Derby. And

36
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 3: sure enough, the Kentucky Derby is this weekend, which at

37
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: one point when I first started at the Premiere then

38
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 3: it was called the Premiere Radio Networks. Now it's just

39
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: called the Premiere Networks. I think, I think that's what

40
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 3: it's called, but I don't even know the name of

41
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 3: the company. But they carried they were the play by

42
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 3: Blay home of the Kentucky Derby. They had the rights

43
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 3: to the Kentucky Derby when I first started at the company.

44
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 3: And it's the perfect sporting event for today's times cause

45
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 3: it's the greatest two minutes.

46
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: In sport, you can give two minutes to the Kentucky Derby.

47
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 3: You don't have to sit there and watch all the

48
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 3: nonsense before and the nonsense after. But you're fine for

49
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 3: a couple minutes if you can time it, if you

50
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 3: know when the post time is and you can get

51
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: in there, it's perfect. You know, you can enjoy it

52
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: and then move on with your day and you can

53
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 3: watch it on your phone or whatever you want.

54
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 4: Perfect.

55
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: It's a perfect sporting event. Perfect.

56
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 4: Yeah. I watch this every year, but the build up,

57
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 4: the lead up to the race, it's so time consuming

58
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 4: and I get kind of antsy. I'm like, I want

59
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 4: to see the race already, and by the time they

60
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 4: finally get to it, it's just man, talk about two

61
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 4: three four hours of lead up for just two minutes.

62
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 4: It feels like when you're at a theme park and

63
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 4: you wait for two hours to get on a stupid

64
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 4: roller coaster that lasts for thirty five seconds.

65
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 3: Well, some have used the analogy, and this would be inappropriate.

66
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: I should not say this, but some have used the analogy.

67
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: To me, it's kind of like dating. You know, a

68
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 3: lot of meals, a lot of you know, going out

69
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: a lot of small talk for about two minutes.

70
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 4: You know you can finish in eleven seconds, and you

71
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 4: finally get with her exactly.

72
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 3: He spent all this time, and then the payoff does

73
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: not last all that long. Now, if Rob Manford ran

74
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: the Kentucky Derby, he'd be like, all right, we got

75
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 3: short in this race. It's too long. It's two and

76
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 3: a half three minutes. We gotta get this thing down

77
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: to sixty seconds or no one's gonna watch, dud.

78
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 4: You're not kidding men. Can I tell you about that

79
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 4: B game in Arizona? It's the extra innings. My wife,

80
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 4: he walks in the bedroom. I have it on and

81
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 4: she's like, why do they still have the stupid runner

82
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 4: on second? And I say, you gotta ask your boy

83
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 4: Rob Manfred about that.

84
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, fraud.

85
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 4: They already sped it up. It's fast enough, get rid

86
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 4: of that. I explain to her that in the postseason

87
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 4: it goes away. She's like, that's stupid. The game's already

88
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 4: fast enough. Now get rid of that altogether. Yeah.

89
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 3: They just want to get everything over with as quickly

90
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 3: as they possibly can. It's like once they get passed,

91
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 3: they don't want to play past ten o'clock. Most of

92
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 3: the games start at seven o'clock. Some of them now

93
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 3: start a little bit before seven. In your local city,

94
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 3: it'll start like six fifty or something like that. But

95
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 3: they they don't want to go past ten, like something happens.

96
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: It's like if you go past ten, you're in molten

97
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 3: lava or something along those lines.

98
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: Anyway, it is.

99
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 3: It is May thirty, as we stated, and it is

100
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: National Paranormal Day. That's not really that big for us,

101
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 3: but if you're George Nori, this is a massive day,

102
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: right if over there at coast to coast and all,

103
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 3: it's a massive holiday and you try to figure out

104
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 3: the paril normal, fascinated with the unknowable.

105
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: The other side, there's.

106
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 4: Like an a fool person beside it and another one inside,

107
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 4: and it has big guys.

108
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 2: They're looking at us.

109
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, big guys.

110
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go get some alien beef jerky on my

111
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: way to Vegas, is what I'm gonna get. In beautiful Baker, California,

112
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: it's International Wild Koaladay.

113
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 4: Today, which is which is big.

114
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 3: And my favorite Koala thing when I was a kid

115
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 3: is a big deal. My mom spent about seven months,

116
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 3: as I remember it's probably about a week, but for

117
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 3: when I was a child, it was like seven months.

118
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: She was so excited that they had koalas at.

119
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 3: The San Diego Zoo and we were going to go

120
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 3: on a family trip to the San Diego Zoo to

121
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 3: see koalas. And she kept telling me about koalas and

122
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 3: I was like, Oh, this is going to be the

123
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 3: most exciting thing in the world. And we went to

124
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 3: the San Diego Zoo to see quals when I was

125
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: a kid, and A they were hiding, couldn't really find them,

126
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 3: and B when we saw them, they were like sleeping, yawning.

127
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 4: It was it was like the Yeah, it's a huge ripoff.

128
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 4: It's like the famous otter at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

129
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 4: This otter is famous for dancing around and communicating with

130
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 4: people through the glass. I mean, schools would bring their

131
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 4: kids filled on buses to see this dumb otter. So

132
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 4: I finally go there. I take my girlfriend. At the time,

133
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,679
Speaker 4: I'm showing off like yeah, wait to see this famous otter.

134
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 4: We get there, this little bastard's curled up in a ball,

135
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 4: sleeping the whole time. The whole time, and then I'm like, well,

136
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 4: we'll come back, We'll come back at the end.

137
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: Came back.

138
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 4: The bastard was still asleep.

139
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 3: They probably gave it adderall to do the commercial.

140
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 4: You saw him after his morning crash.

141
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we did talk about this on this podcast.

142
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 3: The greatest Koala bear thing is actually the video of

143
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: them fighting in Australia.

144
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: It's an old video. We thought it was new, but

145
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: it's actually an old video.

146
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 3: But they literally sleep like what was it fourteen fifteen

147
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 3: sixteen hours a day or something like that, some ridiculous

148
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 3: amount of time.

149
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: They're hardly awake.

150
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 3: And when they're awake, aren't they always drugged? Because of

151
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 3: the eucalyptus they.

152
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 4: Eat sounds like some of your listeners and what they

153
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 4: do in the daytime?

154
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 3: Ow dare you anyway? So international wild? The Koala day

155
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 3: always big. They also we mentioned the Kentucky Derby. It

156
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 3: is Kentucky Oaks Day today, which I'm told this is

157
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 3: also part nobody talks about Kentucky Oaks. Have you you know,

158
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 3: have you been to the Kentucky Derby.

159
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: I've never been to the Kentucky You've never been.

160
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 3: No, you know, a guy did college radio with you

161
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 3: would not know this because how would you know this

162
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 3: a guy did college radio with at ksb Ard Satify College,

163
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 3: ended up becoming the public address announcer at Churchill Downs.

164
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: He got into horse racing. I've told the story a

165
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,239
Speaker 3: few times over the years. I had an opportunity early

166
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 3: in my radio career when I was working in San

167
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 3: Diego to be the track radio reporter, and I did

168
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 3: consider it. Now, I did not like horse racing at

169
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 3: the time. I've grown to like it as i've gotten older.

170
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 3: At the time, I didn't know anything about it. I

171
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 3: didn't never been to the track. But the job was open.

172
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 3: And if you remember, this is back in the Stone Age,

173
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 3: before the Internet, and so the way it would work

174
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: is the local race tracks, Hollywood Park and Santa Anita.

175
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 3: They would pay someone a lot of money to call

176
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 3: in every hour on a couple of different radio stations

177
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 3: and give the results from the third race at Santa

178
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 3: Anita or the fourth race at Hollywood Park. And you'd

179
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: give the results and that was your gig, and you

180
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 3: got paid a lot of money for it. At the time,

181
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 3: it was a lot more money than I didn't have

182
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 3: any money at the time.

183
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 4: This was before ESPN the phone caught on.

184
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a long time ago, but I needless

185
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 3: to say, I didn't a I didn't take the job

186
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 3: and be that job doesn't exist anymore.

187
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: But at the time, I was like, this is pretty.

188
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 3: Attractive because there's money, but I do it because I

189
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 3: didn't really care that much about horse racing. It's one

190
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 3: of those decisions that in hindsight, I think I made

191
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 3: the right call on that one.

192
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 4: You know, you're you're a radio nerd, you would love this.

193
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 4: So when San Francisco, when the Giants there had an

194
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 4: opening for their voice, their public addresses, the public address. Yeah,

195
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 4: the stadium public address announcer job was open. And as

196
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 4: you know, these are very rare jobs to open because

197
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 4: when people get in those jobs they stay until they croak. Yeah. Right,

198
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 4: it's a high paying gig, and it's a high profile gig.

199
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 4: As you can imagine, every radio guy within three hundred

200
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 4: miles showed up and lined up for the tryouts. And

201
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 4: I was just a kid at the time. So I

202
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 4: go there. I line up with a couple of radio

203
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 4: buddies from one of my first I think it was

204
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 4: my very first radio station, and Ben it was so funny,

205
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 4: the very first guy and you got they gave you

206
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 4: lines to read, and so your voice this is booming

207
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 4: through the stadium. The very first guy was like some

208
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 4: famous DJ from like a big FM oldies station in

209
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 4: the Bay Area. His voice boomed through the stadium Like God.

210
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 4: Half the people got out of the line and went

211
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 4: back to their cars. Yeah, I'm not competing with that, dude.

212
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 4: Why And it turns out they hired in the very

213
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 4: very San Francisco thing to do. They hired the very

214
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 4: first female that MLB ever had as a public address announcer. Yeah,

215
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 4: and let me tell you, and I'm not being yeah,

216
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 4: not Neanderthals, but she was not the best who audition

217
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 4: that day. She just was not.

218
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, So they gave it because they wanted to, you know,

219
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 3: impress their friends, I guess.

220
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 4: But I actually it's like what your rams did back

221
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 4: in the day and what they'd still do with cheerleaders.

222
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 3: All right, Well, I don't look at the cheerleaders. I'm

223
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 3: there for the game. But anyway, I actually have a

224
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 3: public address announcer a story that I indirectly know the

225
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 3: public address announcer the New York Yankees, and we have

226
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 3: a mutual friend and I've I've been introduced to him

227
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 3: I've met him a few times. His name is Paul Olden, the.

228
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 4: Great Ted so Yeah, I know that guy's name.

229
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ted Ted Soble and Paul Olden kind of grew

230
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 3: up in LA radio together. They went to school together,

231
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 3: and Paul Olden went on he went to Dorsey High

232
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,479
Speaker 3: School where my dad went by the way in l A.

233
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: And was a play by play guy for.

234
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 3: The Angels, the Devil Rays, the Cleveland and he's all

235
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 3: these teams back in the day and and he he's

236
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 3: most famous though for one question that he that he

237
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 3: asked Tommy the sorta what's.

238
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: Your opinion of Kingman's performed? How do you think my opinion?

239
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 4: King Guy?

240
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 3: Anyway, so that guy, Paul we gotta ask that question.

241
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 3: He is now the public address announcer at Yankee Stadium.

242
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 3: He replaced Bob Shephard. Bob Sheppard had been the Yankee

243
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: Stadium announcers since the nineteen fifties, early nineteen fifties, so

244
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 3: he was back when you know, Yogi, Bearra and all

245
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 3: those legends, and Paul Olden replaced them. And I don't

246
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 3: want to get too inside baseball, but from what I understand,

247
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 3: Paul Olden makes a lot of money, more money than

248
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 3: I make. And he just does the eighty one home

249
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 3: games and then they send him to Florida for spring training.

250
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: He does the games in March in Tampa.

251
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 4: Like that's what I said. People hold onto those jobs

252
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 4: until they croak.

253
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, he works roughly, and if the Yankees made the playoffs,

254
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 3: they'll have to work a little bit more.

255
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: God forbid. But he ends up working.

256
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 3: Maybe one hundred and ten, one hundred and twenty, probably

257
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 3: not even that many days a year and gets paid

258
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: an unbelievable amount of money enough to live comfortably in

259
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 3: New York work. I think they take care of some

260
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 3: other expenses of the Yankees. They really take care of their

261
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 3: public dress announcers. So and the Bob Shephard, if you remember,

262
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: he was the guy who was like old school. He

263
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 3: had the big announcing. He had the announcing voice, not

264
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 3: a radio voice, more of a number two Jita Derek Jita.

265
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 4: Almost like a Broadway.

266
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, that's like yes, like you know Broadway, New

267
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 3: York Broadway. He had that kind of delivery. But his

268
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 3: famous one was was Gita number two lead off hit

269
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 3: number whatever he said, And it's on.

270
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: You know YouTube if you want to look it up

271
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: and all that.

272
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 4: Well, here's a good question for you, because for a moment,

273
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 4: you did Dodger talk.

274
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 3: I did briefly, very briefly, probably bad at it.

275
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 4: But yes, I remember being a little kid here in

276
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 4: Los Angeles and you were on AM five seventy l

277
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 4: A Sports doing Dodger Talk, Like, who's this guy? Little

278
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 4: did I know years later be spending all these hours

279
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 4: doing radio with you. Now, would you rather be a

280
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 4: baseball play by play announcer or the public address announcer

281
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 4: at a stadium?

282
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 3: So it would be more fun to be the play

283
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 3: by play guy you would have, I think today, based

284
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 3: on the climate, you'd be more stable as a stadium announcer.

285
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 3: I actually did do the stadium announcing for one Dodger

286
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 3: Padre game.

287
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 4: Uh.

288
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 3: The public address announcer at the time, Mike Carlucci, was

289
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 3: late to the ballpark. He was recording a video game.

290
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 3: As I remember, Mike, one of the great guys, Mike Carlucci,

291
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 3: a just wonderful.

292
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 4: Guy, which is your voice was booming through Dodger Stadium.

293
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is a great story, right, So I'm there,

294
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 3: you know, I'm freeloading in the press spot.

295
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 4: This is.

296
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: Back in the days, I was there every night.

297
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 3: Now I can't even get.

298
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: A pass most nights.

299
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 3: But back when I was, you know, cool, before Otani

300
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 3: and all of Tokyo came in to cover the Dodgers racist. Well, no,

301
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 3: I was there when No More Mania was going on

302
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 3: and all that. But but so the public address announcer

303
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 3: Mike Calucci supposed to get there an hour before the game.

304
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 3: You're supposed to do all the pregame introductions and all this,

305
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 3: you know, all this stuff. So they start doing the

306
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 3: pregame stuff and he's not there, and so I get

307
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 3: a tap on the shoulder from Ed Arnold. I don't

308
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 3: know if you know who Ed Arnold is. Ed was

309
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 3: on Channel five in l A great man. Ed Arnold

310
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 3: sportscaster at Channel five and h and Ed says, Hey,

Speaker 3: the PA guy's not here. We need somebody, you know that,

312
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 3: the Dodgers looking for somebody. I recommended you. And I'm

313
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 3: looking at it, Ed, I'm like, why would you know

314
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: what are you doing?

315
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Ed was just so thoughtful. He

316
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: knew this would be like a big thing.

317
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 3: And so I went over there and they're like, yeah,

318
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 3: we need you know, you got to do the starting

319
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 3: lineup for the Padres and you have to introduce like

320
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 3: the national anthem and read the pregame you know, note

321
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 3: and all.

322
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 4: Were there any names where you got nervous right away?

323
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 4: Like Ship?

324
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 3: Fortunately there were no names I could not pronounce.

325
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 4: I would that would have been more, can you imagine.

326
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 3: But here's a fun fact on that. The guy that

327
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 3: was in the lineup that I remember it was Ross

328
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 3: Newhan's son, David Newhan, I believe his name, the baseball

329
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 3: writer was the lead baseball writer for the LA Times.

330
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 3: His kid actually was a Major League baseball player and

331
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 3: this was his first game at Dodger Stadium. And I'm

332
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 3: doing the PA introducing introducing him. But by the time

333
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 3: the game started he showed up. So I only did

334
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 3: the pregame stuff. I didn't do do the game. But

335
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 3: still did they pay you? Oh god, no, no, Although

336
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 3: I did have a copy of it on a cart

337
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 3: which I can't play anymore. I don't even know what

338
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 3: the cart is, but I had. I did have a

339
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 3: recording of it on a cart. We used to The

340
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 3: guys on the station used to bust my balls because

341
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 3: of how bad I was at it.

342
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: But anyway, that was. That was something I did not

343
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: plan on talking about.

344
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 4: That's never I've heard just about every one of your stories.

345
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 4: I've never heard that one.

346
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was wild and Ken Caminetti, the late Ken Camanetti,

347
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 3: was on the padres. I remember introducing his name. He's dead, John.

348
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 3: I'd have to go back and look, I could, I could.

349
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 3: I know the date. I have it written down somewhere.

350
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 3: I'd have to go back and look at the date.

351
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 4: Did you say no? Roid it up?

352
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 3: They were all on roids in those days. Man, it

353
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 3: was a steroid palooza. So now this week is Friday.

354
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 3: We're having a good time here. I woke up, I

355
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 3: want to say it was on Wednesday of this week,

356
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 3: and I had the sniffles. And you know when you

357
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 3: wake up and you have the sniffles, You're like, oh crap,

358
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 3: this is a four shock. This is the beginning of

359
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 3: an illness.

360
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 4: Especially when you feel like scratchiness in your throat. Yeah,

361
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 4: that's bad. I got to stave this off.

362
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: Man.

363
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 4: You have five dollars for that word, so.

364
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 3: It's a big word. So what I did is I activated.

365
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 3: I activated my superpower. My right hand was getting a workout.

366
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 3: How dare you I went into not the medicine count.

367
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 3: I acted like an Egyptian. You know, the Egyptians worship this,

368
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 3: and I'm like an Egyptian. I worship it too. I

369
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 3: got a nice big handful of garlic, and I took

370
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 3: my knife. Out of course, I peeled the garlic. I

371
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 3: then cut the garlic in half and sucked on that

372
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 3: thing like a jolly rauncher, jolly rancher candy. And and

373
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 3: it worked. I did not I did not get sick.

374
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 3: I continue to preach at the altar of the garlic.

375
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 3: It is a super strong natural antibiotics, nature's antibiotic.

376
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: Maybe you can suck on it and that'll make it better.

377
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 3: If you can get it. You gotta get it early,

378
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 3: because I have tried this after I've gotten all the

379
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 3: way sick, and it doesn't work.

380
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: It does shorten it a.

381
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 3: Little bit, but it does kill the infection in your

382
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 3: throat if you get.

383
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 4: It right away.

384
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 3: And so I tip of the headphones Danny to the garlic.

385
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: And again we talked about this a couple of weeks ago.

386
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: I think maybe it was last week.

387
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 4: I don't know.

388
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 3: It all runs together, but the Egyptians worshiping garlic as

389
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 3: a god, and in this house, in the Malor House,

390
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 3: I worship it.

391
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 4: As I think that was on the tail of your

392
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 4: Gilroy trip.

393
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 3: Oh that's right, Yeah, in the Gilroy infact, we got

394
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 3: some little garlic things, you know, different garlic stuff at

395
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 3: the gift shop there, and I told my wife we

396
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 3: had like garlic chips or not garlic chips, garlic bits

397
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 3: that I hadn't seen anywhere else, not garlic powder, garlic bits.

398
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 3: So I told my wife her brother, my brother in law,

399
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 3: lives not far from Gilroy. That's why we went there.

400
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 3: So I said, hey, we're gonna have to go see

401
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 3: your brother again. It's got to go back and.

402
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 4: Get more garlic as you spray on your garlic deodorant. Yeah, yeah,

403
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 4: it's just absolutely bathe in that. If you could, I

404
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 4: probably would.

405
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 3: I probably probably would do that. So the Malard Meet

406
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 3: and greet is coming up. I can't promote this enough, Danny,

407
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,960

Speaker 4: or Ben mallor Overnight listeners show up with Confederate battle flags,

442

00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 3: Well, I did like that Duke's of Hazard when I

444
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 3: was a kid, and I think they had that on

445

Speaker 3: lot of that was that was a long time ago.

448
00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,000

449
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 3: you know, it's the blink of an eye, but I am.

Speaker 3: I'm told there's a lot of x Now. They call

Speaker 1: Yeah that's what.

458
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 4: Us. Yeah.

459
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,719
Speaker 3: I still remember the guy in Walmart when we were

460
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 3: waiting on I was waiting online to return something. This

461
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 3: guy from Texas was there online and was the whole

462
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 3: time we were waiting online, was complaining about how people

463
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 3: from California were going to Texas and they were voting

464
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 3: the same lunatics into office that they voted in California,

465
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 3: and he was like losing his mind.

466
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: Was like, and I know.

467
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 3: People in Carolina probably are feeling the same way. But

468
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 3: it is an English pub, which makes sense. It's perfect

469
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,560

510
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:28,840

512
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 3: Wrong. My grandfather's last name, my mom's last name, maiden

513
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 3: name was Smith, So yeah, I could be a word smith.

514
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:41,359

515
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 3: The phrase of the week this week is good things

516
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 3: come to those who wait. What do you think that

517
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 3: came from Danny? You've heard that, right, Good things come

518
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 3: to those.

519
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 4: Who wait, probably from someone who waited for their life

520
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 4: to get together and they died without anything.

521
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a success. That's an uplifting story.

522
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 4: No, usually that's crap. That's somebody that's just trying to

523
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 4: paint a brighter day for you and they're full of shit. Yeah.

524
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 3: It's kind of like money doesn't make happiness, you know,

525
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 3: but it certainly can buy a lot of it.

526
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: And it might not make it, but it can buy anyway.

527
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: Good things come to those who wait.

528
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 3: A lot of people think that came from the Bible.

529
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 3: Doesn't that sound like it's from the Bible?

530
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 4: Does? Right?

531
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: But it's not.

532
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,959
Speaker 3: It's not from the Bible. It is a variation of

533
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 3: a proverb all things come to those who wait, that

534
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 3: originated from a famous poem, French poem from many many

535
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 3: years back. But here's the thing I love about this.

536
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 3: The reason I brought this up that the modern usage

537
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 3: of the phrase good things come to those who wait

538
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 3: can really be credited to a marketing company for a

539
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 3: beer the people over at Guinness, and it's not that

540
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 3: old in the modern lexicon. It goes back to nineteen

541
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 3: ninety six. About that marketing people for Guinness came up

542
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 3: in nineteen ninety six. They came up with the advertising

543
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 3: slogan good Things come to those who wait, and it

544
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 3: showed the slow pore of a frothy pint of Guinness beer,

545
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 3: and it took off. I love Guinness, and ever since

546
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 3: then it has become universal. It's said all over, not

547
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 3: just in the United States in the UK, but all

548
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 3: over the world. And so the Guinness has used that

549
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 3: advertising slogan in many commercials over the decades since. And

550
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 3: for me, and I assume for you, Danny, I don't

551
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 3: speak for you. It doesn't seem like nineteen ninety six

552
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 3: was like a long time ago, But that's almost thirty

553
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 3: years ago. That's almost a generation and a half.

554
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: Nineteen yeah, ninety six.

555
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 4: Which is kind of like that was still like President

556
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 4: Clinton time. Yeah, that was like the end of his run, right.

557
00:26:59,040 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

558
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: I was having fun with Monica Lewinsky in nineteen ninety six.

559
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 3: I think I did not have a sexual relacense for

560
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 3: that woman. A little foody fun and then we'll put

561
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 3: the baby to bed. Little foody fun here. These are

562
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 3: actual food stories from around the food universe. McDonald's complaining

563
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,040

599
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 3: was nineteen dollars and ninety cents just for the Caniata

600
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,640

601
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,880

610
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 3: They probably don't have that in California, I bet because

611
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 3: of the fast food wages that they got to pay now.

612
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,720

613
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 3: says nationally. It says Nashally Wendy's in Canada adding new

00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 3: I think you did on this podcast that you said

628
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 3: with the increase in fast food wages, this will lead

629
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 3: to a doom in.

630
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: Yes, I saw. I was written a story this week.

631
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 3: Denny's claims that they are now benefiting from the laws

632
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 3: in California that you sit down restaurant. Mid level restaurant

633
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 3: like Denny's is now benefiting because they don't have to

634
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 3: their people make money off tips. I said, they get

635
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 3: most of their money. Are people tipping big at Denny's.

636
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 3: I don't know, Probably average tips, I would say. But

637
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,239
Speaker 3: Denny's hasn't had to raise wages like they have at

638
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 3: the fast food restaurants in California, and so as a result,

639
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 3: they are benefiting. And also all the fast food restaurants

640
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 3: have raised the prices of the food. So it's like

641
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 3: I just talked about me getting raising canes and it

642
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 3: was twenty dollars for my combo.

643
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

644
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 3: I can go to Denny's and get a meal and

645
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 3: an appetizer, probably for that, I don't know for sure

646
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 3: about that, but it's close and you get a sit

647
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 3: down meal.

648
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 4: It's the way to go. Last Sunday had BJ's. He

649
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 4: did brew house congratulations. Yeah, I'm not talking about After

650
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 4: we got home and it was really good, new items

651
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 4: on the menu. The place was jumping inside it was

652
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 4: twenty dollars for each of us. I would rather do

653
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 4: that than go through a stupid fast food crap drive through.

654
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, fast food's always hit and miss, and you got

655
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 3: to eat it right away, like it self destructs. If

656
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 3: you don't eat it right away, it doesn't taste nearly

657
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 3: as good. And so that's that's problematic as well. All right,

658
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 3: we'll get out on that. It's Friday, Danny. What you
