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 a clearinghouse
Speaker 2: of hot takes. Break free for something special. The Fifth
Speaker 2: Hour with Ben Mallard starts right now in.
Speaker 3: The airmywhere the Fifth Hour with me, Ben Mallor and
Speaker 3: Danny g Radio As we are together TGIF a happy Friday.
Speaker 3: It's early in the morning. I have been awake for
Speaker 3: a very long time. I'm not complaining, that is not
Speaker 3: a complaint. But we are together here on this Friday,
Speaker 3: the eighteenth day of October, and oh what a day
Speaker 3: it is. Got Dodger and Mets this afternoon. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: get a few hours of sleep after I do this podcast,
Speaker 3: and then I will be back away to watch the
Speaker 3: Doyers eliminate the Mets from the National League Championship Series.
Speaker 3: Unless they don't, but I believe they will. Today will
Speaker 3: be an elimination day. The Dodgers are so much better
Speaker 3: than the Mets. This is one of the great domination situations.
Speaker 3: Not a sweep, not a sweep, but a domination situation
Speaker 3: for sure. And we celebrate today not only the Dodgers
Speaker 3: and the Mets, and then the Yankees and the team
Speaker 3: that used to be called the Cleveland Indians. But it
Speaker 3: is National Chocolate cup Cupcake Day.
Speaker 1: That's right now.
Speaker 3: I love cupcase. I'm not a huge chocolate cupcake person.
Speaker 3: I don't mind it. It's not something I will go
Speaker 3: out of my way to get. There's all kinds of
Speaker 3: there's National Cupcake Day, which is a different day, not
Speaker 3: to be confused with National Hot Chocolate Day or National
Speaker 3: Chocolate Cake Day. Those are all separate days. This is
Speaker 3: National Chocolate chip Cupcake Day, which, if you look at
Speaker 3: the history here, the chocolate cupcakes made their first written,
Speaker 3: written debut in American culture. The first cookbook to write
Speaker 3: that in America was written in seventeen ninety six. It
Speaker 3: was called American Cookery, and it featured a bunch of
Speaker 3: different recipes, obviously, and one of them was a chocolate cupcake.
Speaker 3: So if you're interested in that kind of thing, congratulations.
Speaker 3: Going back to the seventeen hundreds, people in America have
Speaker 3: been eating chocolate cupcakes. It's also National Mashed Potatoes Day.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: When I was a kid, my mom would make a
Speaker 3: lot of meals where the side dish was peas, canned peas,
Speaker 3: throwing a lot of mashed potato dishes. And I liked
Speaker 3: mashed potatoes.
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 3: They were not exotic mashed potatoes. I enjoyed them, and
Speaker 3: then as I got older, I realized, well, that's kind
Speaker 3: of a cheap food, and that's one of the reasons.
Speaker 3: The stuff I ate as a kid, like frozen fish sticks,
Speaker 3: things like that, a lot of stuff that was easily
Speaker 3: available and didn't cost all that much. But today's National
Speaker 3: Mashed Potatoes Day. They say the human beings have been
Speaker 3: growing potatoes going as far back as eight thousand BC. Yeah,
Speaker 3: eight thousand BC. I don't know what they did before that.
Speaker 3: And they claim that remains were found in central Peru.
Speaker 3: We do not do shout outs on the podcast, so
Speaker 3: I cannot shout out inker terror, but they have found
Speaker 3: a bunch of remnants of that, and potatoes appear all
Speaker 3: over the place. The mashed potato though spread throughout the
Speaker 3: northern colonies, it wasn't until Thomas Jefferson of all people
Speaker 3: served the potato to guess at the White House.
Speaker 1: That was an.
Speaker 3: Eighteen oh two. And then after that they had a
Speaker 3: bunch of Irish immigrants that came to America and they
Speaker 3: brought their culture to America and their love of the potato,
Speaker 3: and we had potatoes reach outer space. In the nineties,
Speaker 3: the University of Wisconsin and NASA got together and they
Speaker 3: put the potato as the first ever vegetable grown in space.
Speaker 3: The potato potato isn't that wonderful in that grade? Yeah,
Speaker 3: so celebrate appropriately. It is National mashed Potato Day. There's
Speaker 3: also some birthdays today.
Speaker 1: One of them.
Speaker 3: And I look at these names and I get these
Speaker 3: lists and I'm like, all right, what I list radio
Speaker 3: we're podcasting.
Speaker 1: But I looked at it.
Speaker 3: I said, well, that name rings a bell. I said,
Speaker 3: we almost had that guy on the podcast. And that
Speaker 3: would be none other than the legendary coach of the
Speaker 3: Chicago Bears back in the day, Iron Mike Ditka, who
Speaker 3: if you've listened to this podcast, you know that we
Speaker 3: attempted to get Mike Ditka on the podcast. Mike is
Speaker 3: getting up there. He was born in nineteen thirty nine.
Speaker 3: Long run as an NFL player. I knew him as
Speaker 3: the coach of the Bears when I was a kid,
Speaker 3: and a long career as a TV guy, Iron Mike
Speaker 3: Tyson and the pride of Pennsylvania Steel tough right, Pennsylvania football.
Speaker 3: He just oozed Pennsylvania football. Mike Ditka tried to get
Speaker 3: him on the podcast. A buddy of mine had a number,
Speaker 3: so I gave him a couple of texts, give him
Speaker 3: a couple of calls. He didn't answer his phone, and
Speaker 3: he didn't respond to the text and actually heard I
Speaker 3: don't know this firsthand, but somebody that knows more about
Speaker 3: the situation than me said that Mike has been in
Speaker 3: very poor health the last couple of years, so I
Speaker 3: don't know if that's true or not. I know he
Speaker 3: has not been seen out in public very much. Last
Speaker 3: time he was seen it was on the internet. It
Speaker 3: was kind of disheveled and wasn't doing all that well.
Speaker 3: So hopefully things have gotten better from Mike Ditka, who
Speaker 3: was a one of the great characters in NFL history
Speaker 3: in his day and in many ways part of my youth.
Speaker 3: How I wasn't a Bears fan. I did like refrigerator
Speaker 3: Perry because he was fat for the mid eighties bears,
Speaker 3: and you know, I was right in my wheelhouse. But
Speaker 3: Mike Ditka the character that he was, and that was
Speaker 3: an era where you had bigger than life personalities who
Speaker 3: were coaches. It wasn't like today, Hey Boomer. But you
Speaker 3: guys know, listen, Yeah, people that listen to spots down
Speaker 3: on how old you are, where your background is, but
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter, right.
Speaker 1: And here's why. If you look back at.
Speaker 3: What it was and what it is now, it's so
Speaker 3: corporate and everyone's offended about everything these days, and coaches
Speaker 3: talking coach speak. Not that they didn't do that back
Speaker 3: in the day, it's just a different animal at this
Speaker 3: particular point. So on this podcast, we'll bounce around a
Speaker 3: little bit. There's a few things that I wanted to
Speaker 3: share with you on this fifth hour edition The Big News,
Speaker 3: and I teased this on the radio show, and I
Speaker 3: promised you, I said, listen, download the FM podcast and
Speaker 3: you're going to get all the inside information, none of
Speaker 3: that artsy fartsy bowl crap. Everything will be delivered right
Speaker 3: to your ear drums, And here we are a very
Speaker 3: exciting announcement.
Speaker 1: I teased this a couple of weeks back. I've been
Speaker 1: working on this for some time.
Speaker 3: Finally got all the tea's crossed and the eyes died,
Speaker 3: dotted dotted. That would be the word Heartland ho Down.
Speaker 3: Big announcement, Big Announcement two point zero. I actually talked
Speaker 3: about this originally back on Thursday, equally appearance on the
Speaker 3: radio on the fan in Cana City. But assuming you
Speaker 3: didn't drop your entire life to listen to me wax
Speaker 3: poetic with my friend Bob, who does radio in Kansas City.
Speaker 3: I am very excited to let you know about a
Speaker 3: pop up Malard meet and greet. We're headed to the
Speaker 3: Great Midwest, the mecca of the National foot Ball League.
Speaker 1: How do you do?
Speaker 3: And I'm going to get a chance to witness the
Speaker 3: modern day pig skin dynasty.
Speaker 1: Say what it is?
Speaker 3: The final Malar Meet and Greet of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3: We're calling it the Heartland Heartland Hodown for now and
Speaker 3: maybe we'll change the name, maybe not. But let me
Speaker 3: give you the basics on this as promised. Some of
Speaker 3: you reached out to me via email said you're planning
Speaker 3: on attending, whether you actually do or not. As I
Speaker 3: always say with these things, I have no idea.
Speaker 1: I'll be there.
Speaker 3: Hopefully you can show up. I take the people that
Speaker 3: are SVP. I appreciate you doing that, but I also
Speaker 3: realize that things pop up in life and you might
Speaker 3: not be able to attend. I would love for you
Speaker 3: to be there. It would be awesome. But here are
Speaker 3: the basics, the who, what, where, when, why and how?
Speaker 3: The who that would be me, not the band, me
Speaker 3: Ben Hi, my friend Bob Fesco. I believe that his
Speaker 3: partner on his radio show, Dusty his guy, will be there. Unfortunately,
Speaker 3: this is just a malor meet and great. It is
Speaker 3: not an Eddie soire Coop will not be there, Lorena
Speaker 3: will not will not be there.
Speaker 1: Just me.
Speaker 3: You're just stuck with my fat ass and what is it?
Speaker 3: It is a chance for malad militia pee wance.
Speaker 1: That would be you.
Speaker 3: That would be if you're listening to this podcast, that
Speaker 3: would be you. And if you're in reasonable driving distance now,
Speaker 3: Kansas City is centrally oh kid. One of the cool
Speaker 3: things about Kansy and I have a lot of friends
Speaker 3: that live there, and you guys that live there know this,
Speaker 3: is that you can go pretty much anywhere in a
Speaker 3: very short amount of time.
Speaker 1: In the middle of the country. So it's a really
Speaker 1: cool thing.
Speaker 3: So if you're in the area and you're thinking about
Speaker 3: doing it, maybe you've attended one of these things in
Speaker 3: the past.
Speaker 1: And when we did in Minnesota or.
Speaker 3: Appleton, Wisconsin or wherever, we don't do very many, and
Speaker 3: this was one that was not playing. But we're doing it,
Speaker 3: and I'm very excited.
Speaker 1: I'll be there.
Speaker 3: Bob Fesco will be there with his listeners, so we're
Speaker 3: going to combine the Malad militia and my got Bob.
Speaker 1: Will be there. I don't know that again, I don't
Speaker 1: know if Dusky's going to be there. Where's it going
Speaker 1: to take place? At the Landing in Liberty, Missouri.
Speaker 3: Now, Michael, the man behind the Landing, one of the
Speaker 3: big guys there that runs that fine restaurant, help make
Speaker 3: this happen, so I want to thank him. And when
Speaker 3: is it going to take place? Well, this is very important.
Speaker 3: We're not that far away. We're in the eighteenth of
Speaker 3: October right now. It's going to happen November ninth, Saturday,
Speaker 3: November ninth. Jot that down, put that in your phone,
Speaker 3: Save that date November ninth. Now, when what time that
Speaker 3: has yet to be determined. We're still negotiating when we
Speaker 3: want to do it, When can we get the biggest crowd.
Speaker 3: It'll likely be sometime in the afternoon or early evening,
Speaker 3: most likely most likely afternoon early evening at the latest.
Speaker 1: And why are we doing it? Or we're doing it?
Speaker 3: First of all, to support a restaurant that has been
Speaker 3: very good to me over the years, A mom and pop,
Speaker 3: not some big conglomerate restaurant, a locally owned restaurant, The
Speaker 3: Landing in Liberty, Missouri, which is not that far away
Speaker 3: from Arrowhead and not that far away you know the
Speaker 3: complex there were the royals and the chiefs play and
Speaker 3: we're going to hang out, just enjoy some great food
Speaker 3: at the Landing Midwestern hospitality, and consume massive amounts of
Speaker 3: the ben malor chicken fingers and hidden ranch. How dare you, Danny,
Speaker 3: how we're going to do all this? You ask, well,
Speaker 3: how we are going to do this? That would be planes, trains,
Speaker 3: and automobiles, probably no trains, more planes and automobiles, and
Speaker 3: also hotels. This is not a Fox Sports Radio event.
Speaker 3: They had nothing to do with this. This is just
Speaker 3: our friends at the fan in Kansas City. The New
Speaker 3: FM blow Torch along with the Landing in Liberty and
Speaker 3: so fired up again. November ninth saved that date. I'd
Speaker 3: love to see it. We did one of these in
Speaker 3: Kansas City. The restaurant the Landing used to be called
Speaker 3: the Brooksider, and we went there. That was a different
Speaker 3: restaurant before I was even married. Been married a long time,
Speaker 3: so it's been a while. We're going back and I'm
Speaker 3: fired up.
Speaker 1: I can't wait.
Speaker 3: We had a great time in Kansas City and I'm
Speaker 3: looking forward to checking everything out and saying hello to
Speaker 3: a lot of people that I haven't seen in a
Speaker 3: long time.
Speaker 1: And forget about Taylor swept right. I.
Speaker 3: I have been invited to attend the Chiefs and the
Speaker 3: Broncos game on that Sunday. I think it's November tenth,
Speaker 3: I believe is the date on that at Arrowhead Stadium
Speaker 3: against the Broncos.
Speaker 1: I have never been to a game at Arrowhead.
Speaker 3: That game is actually going to be, based on what
Speaker 3: we've seen so far, an important matchup in the NFL.
Speaker 3: I've been putting this together with our friends in Kansas City,
Speaker 3: and originally there were some things that came up that
Speaker 3: kind of delayed everything.
Speaker 1: But originally I was like, well, that's not going to
Speaker 1: be that good a game. The Broncos are going to
Speaker 1: be terrible. I was like, oh, come on, they're brutal
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. Well it turns out no,
Speaker 1: they'll be actually pretty good. At least at this point.
Speaker 1: They're pretty good.
Speaker 3: And the Broncos, who won last night in a rat
Speaker 3: kill situation, they will take on the Chiefs. Chiefs undefeated.
Speaker 3: They play the Niners on Sunday. Broncos are four and three.
Speaker 3: They should get to at least five and three, probably
Speaker 3: be five and four, likely five and four before they
Speaker 3: play the Chiefs because they got the Ravens at Baltimore.
Speaker 3: After they play Carolina next week on October or their
Speaker 3: next game is October twenty seventh, so obviously a little
Speaker 3: time after they played on Thursday. So that is what's
Speaker 3: up ahead for the Heartland Hodown. As far as the
Speaker 3: TV show, yeah, there's a TV show.
Speaker 1: I normally you bear the lead by man, don't bear
Speaker 1: the lead, all right, I bury the lead.
Speaker 3: I realize that, but it is another weekend of Benny
Speaker 3: versus the Penny. I am so happy to have this.
Speaker 3: I'm so excited. It's awesome and I'm really fired up.
Speaker 3: You guys have been sending me emails every week. I
Speaker 3: get new messages from people that listen to this podcasts,
Speaker 3: that are listening to this show, but also sending me
Speaker 3: photos from different places they're watching the TV show, whether
Speaker 3: it be your lake house, whether it be I don't know.
Speaker 3: We had one guy from a sports bar, which was
Speaker 3: kind of cool, all kinds of but normally at your house.
Speaker 3: But the show is on elsewhere obviously where we have
Speaker 3: a TV and all that, so it's great. I'm very
Speaker 3: proud of this week's episode, week seven of Benny Versus
Speaker 3: the Penny, and the people at NBC have been great.
Speaker 3: We had a little bit of a microphone snaffu, if
Speaker 3: you will, last week. There were some technical issues the
Speaker 3: type of microphone, and they immediately the circled the wagons.
Speaker 3: They're like, hey, listen, we're going to fix this. And
Speaker 3: it's so much different than the radio world. In television,
Speaker 3: when something goes haywire, there is an army of people
Speaker 3: that run to make sure that problem never happens again.
Speaker 1: And I'm not exaggerating.
Speaker 3: There were a bunch of people, a team of people
Speaker 3: in Boston and in LA We do the show from
Speaker 3: Universal Studios in Hollywood, who were working to try to
Speaker 3: ratify the situation or rectify the situation, i should say,
Speaker 3: And they determined that the type of microphone because of
Speaker 3: the studio setup that we have. We do the show
Speaker 3: in a studio with the green screen and the way
Speaker 3: it's set up and the size of the room and
Speaker 3: all this stuff and the way I talk and the
Speaker 3: way Looney talks, and the only thing that we needed
Speaker 3: a special type of microphone special time.
Speaker 1: So they went out and bought a.
Speaker 3: Different microphone and they shipped it and there were people
Speaker 3: testing it, and then we got in there.
Speaker 1: We had to test it and the whole thing.
Speaker 3: But that was good and the show will debut normal
Speaker 3: timeslot today.
Speaker 1: We'll see how what happens going forward.
Speaker 3: The NBA season begins next week, so we might be
Speaker 3: bumped out of our normal timeslot depending on the schedule.
Speaker 3: But this week today on our debut on NBC Sports Boston.
Speaker 3: The show will air tonight at six o'clock. It's a
Speaker 3: great time slot. Fired up. They trusted the show enough
Speaker 3: to put us on NBC Sports Boston six o'clock right
Speaker 3: after Felger and Maz the simulcast of the most popular
Speaker 3: radio show in Boston. That show goes till six and
Speaker 3: then we pop on with Penny Versus the Penny, and
Speaker 3: then the Celtics will start playing some real games next week.
Speaker 1: So that is our debut.
Speaker 3: The show is produced out of NBA Sports Boston, so
Speaker 3: that is an important and important.
Speaker 1: Show for us in Boston.
Speaker 3: It will also be on various other regional cable channels
Speaker 3: throughout the country today.
Speaker 1: Check your local listenings.
Speaker 3: For example, in Philadelphia, we will be on at six
Speaker 3: thirty six point thirty airing tonight in Philly, and that's
Speaker 3: right after Birds Huddle inside Egle Information and then you
Speaker 3: got us on NBC Sports Philadelphia. And if you're happy
Speaker 3: you've happened to be in the Bay Area, don't forget
Speaker 3: that you can also get your hands on this show
Speaker 3: NBC Sports Bay Area all over the place. There several
Speaker 3: airings today tomorrow, the whole thing. We're on in La
Speaker 3: tomorrow later on today, and I'm not sure exactly when
Speaker 3: this drops. Some of you have complained I tried to
Speaker 3: find the new episode and I couldn't find it.
Speaker 1: Well, you got to wait a little bit.
Speaker 3: I'm talking about Peacock now. I got several messages this
Speaker 3: morning after the radio show I did last night. They
Speaker 3: were like, Oh, I loved your peacock impersonation. You should
Speaker 3: do that on the podcast. No, that's only for the
Speaker 3: radio show. I'm not gonna do the Peacock impersonation here,
Speaker 3: but please, it's Availa everywhere. You guys complain, Oh it's
Speaker 3: not right, I can't get the show. You got to
Speaker 3: make the show available. Okay, So we made the show available.
Speaker 3: I complained to the people at NBC. They heard me
Speaker 3: complain as a conduit, as a middleman between you and
Speaker 3: these big executives, and they put it on Peacock. So
Speaker 3: it's on everywhere, and that's a very important place for us.
Speaker 3: Right everyone's going to streaming, you know a lot of
Speaker 3: places and all that. So it's important the show does
Speaker 3: well and we want to make the show even bigger
Speaker 3: and better. We have other ideas, we want to expand things,
Speaker 3: and so for that to happen, in order for us
Speaker 3: to continue on, we need you to watch the show.
Speaker 3: And you've been doing a hell of a job. I
Speaker 3: just want you to keep it going. And if you
Speaker 3: happen to have some people in your life that also
Speaker 3: have Peacock and they would watch it. That would help
Speaker 3: us out a lot. I would like them to enjoy
Speaker 3: the show. But as I've said in previous episodes on
Speaker 3: the fifth hour, you know my position. I've met a
Speaker 3: number of people in my wife's family or circle of
Speaker 3: friends who are.
Speaker 1: Not sports people. They don't get it. They're not like us.
Speaker 3: They're not sports people, and they know I do the show,
Speaker 3: and so they'll bring it up in small talk, which
Speaker 3: I don't like.
Speaker 1: I don't like small talk anyway, but.
Speaker 3: I'll try to engage and I'll always say I said, listen,
Speaker 3: you know, if you don't like football, I get it.
Speaker 3: If you're not a gambler, I understand. If you look
Speaker 3: at football the way our friend Lorena looks at football,
Speaker 3: where you don't know if it's stuffed or puffed.
Speaker 1: That's fine. I'm okay with that.
Speaker 3: All I need is you to click on Peacock, make
Speaker 3: sure you subscribe, click on it, and then you say
Speaker 3: you have to do the dishes, or maybe you're taking
Speaker 3: a sh shower, you got some work around the house, laundry, Okay,
Speaker 3: you hit the play button On the newest episode of
Speaker 3: Benny versus the penny. If you walk out of the room,
Speaker 3: I don't know whether you're watching. I don't know whether
Speaker 3: you're watching. I'd like you to watch, but we get
Speaker 3: credit for it. I know Alf has been amazing. Alf
Speaker 3: has kicked ass here, He's draging other people into this masshole.
Speaker 1: Mickey also outstanding.
Speaker 3: So I really do appreciate the support you guys have
Speaker 3: gone above and beyond the call of duty. I'm sure John,
Speaker 3: our newest sworn in member of the Mala Militia from Phoenix,
Speaker 3: he's watching the show as well, So thank you all.
Speaker 3: All of you guys have been just amazing and really
Speaker 3: excited about the way the show is.
Speaker 1: I want to make it even better. If you have
Speaker 1: any suggestions on how we can improve the show, go,
Speaker 1: It's only a half hour show. We have the phrase
Speaker 1: of the week. Are you ready for the phrase? All
Speaker 1: the way?
Speaker 3: Yes you are now. This is from listener Scott. Not
Speaker 3: to be confused with Blind Scott, because that's somebody else.
Speaker 3: This is Scott from the nine to one seven New
Speaker 3: York U nine one seven area code. He says a
Speaker 3: blowing He wants to know the phrase of the week
Speaker 3: this week. Blowing smoke up your ass. He said, where
Speaker 3: did that come from? So initially I thought, well, maybe
Speaker 3: this is a gag, maybe this is somebody that just
Speaker 3: effing around, But no, he seemed to want to know this,
Speaker 3: and I was blown away. I did not even anticipate,
Speaker 3: like I said, well, I'll look at this.
Speaker 1: I won't do it. It's probably stupid, it's got some
Speaker 1: X rated thing.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, Now you likely know if anyone has
Speaker 3: ever said, maybe you use this phrase blow and smoke
Speaker 3: up your ass, right when someone says that, it is
Speaker 3: a figure of communication, right, a figure of speech, and
Speaker 3: it means that at you're complimenting another person, but you're
Speaker 3: not doing it legitimately, you're insincere.
Speaker 1: You're using the ancient art of flattery.
Speaker 3: You're being you're appealing to the person's ego, you're inflating
Speaker 3: their ego.
Speaker 1: So I well, okay, fine, whatever where did this come from? Well,
Speaker 1: it turns out this is mind blowing.
Speaker 3: Way back in the late seventeen hundreds, before toilet paper,
Speaker 3: before modern technology, it was very archaic in the seventeen hundreds.
Speaker 3: So back in the late seventeen hundreds, doctors literally blue
Speaker 3: smoke up your rectum, say why let me repeat that
Speaker 3: for those of you who are not paying attention because
Speaker 3: you're doing something else, fuson around while you're listening to
Speaker 3: this podcast. In the late seventeen hundreds, in medicine at
Speaker 3: that time would blow smoke up your ass.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not making this up.
Speaker 3: Mainstream Western medication, modern medicine.
Speaker 1: In those days.
Speaker 3: This was a medical procedure to resuscitate people who were
Speaker 3: otherwise presume dead. So they think somebody's dead and then
Speaker 3: they're like, okay, let's help the mine. Now it was
Speaker 3: supposedly common for drowning victims. That was usually what they
Speaker 3: used it for people that were drowning or they thought
Speaker 3: had drowned. And the equipment used in the procedure that
Speaker 3: was required by for example, on the Thames River River
Speaker 3: Thames in the UK, the historians found the equipment that
Speaker 3: they had placed they put near the waterways and people
Speaker 3: would go on the week and have great times and
Speaker 3: when the weather was good, and they had this equipment
Speaker 3: available in case somebody's drown and they would blow smoke
Speaker 3: up your ass by inserting a tube and the tube
Speaker 3: was connected to a fumigator okay, and they would force
Speaker 3: smoke into the rectum. Now sometimes they would they would
Speaker 3: throw a more direct route to the lungs, forcing the
Speaker 3: smoke into the you know, your mouth, your nose and
Speaker 3: all that. But from what I was reading here, they
Speaker 3: the doctors of the time were big believers in the
Speaker 3: took us and you must blow smoke up the old ass.
Speaker 3: And the nicotine and the tobacco was thought to stimulate
Speaker 3: the heart, allow the heart to beat stronger and faster,
Speaker 3: encouraging respiration. And the smoke was also thought to warm
Speaker 3: the victim and dry out the person's insides, removing all
Speaker 3: the extra moisture from the nice smoke. So, in a
Speaker 3: shocking turn of events for listeners, Scott, and for me,
Speaker 3: this is why we do this phrase of the week,
Speaker 3: blowing smoke up your ass, which was an actual medical
Speaker 3: term back in the day. God, I remember one time
Speaker 3: I was in Pennsylvania at the Revolutionary War Museum.
Speaker 1: I believe it was.
Speaker 3: It is one of the wars that George Washington fought in,
Speaker 3: and it was not the most exciting museum, but I
Speaker 3: think it was in Valley Forge. I believe it was
Speaker 3: a long time I was in visiting Philadelphia. It was
Speaker 3: outside Philly, so it was driving through Pennsylvania and we
Speaker 3: went to the museum and they had this one section
Speaker 3: of how they would treat soldiers who got injured on
Speaker 3: the battlefield, and it was like a horror movie. What
Speaker 3: they used to amputate body parts, archaic, horrific, the fuel
Speaker 3: of nightmares, and it was just the way it was.
Speaker 3: That's how you did things, and you just had to
Speaker 3: do your thing and that's that and that's what you did,
Speaker 3: and you just sucked it up, Buttercup, but just nuts,
Speaker 3: absolutely nuts. It was craziness. So anyway, that is that
Speaker 3: I did have a little time for fruity fun because
Speaker 3: we all got to eat. Well. Good news if you're
Speaker 3: in the UK, terry in England, the McRib is back
Speaker 3: for a limited time. However, not yet in the United States,
Speaker 3: although we are told as I understand that the McRib
Speaker 3: will return to the United States later this year. As
Speaker 3: far as our conversation we had last night, we had
Speaker 3: a hearty conversation about the Chicken Big Mac. None of
Speaker 3: us on the show had eaten the chicken Big Mac,
Speaker 3: although we have all heard it is disgusting and we
Speaker 3: haven't done it ourselves. So if you have eaten the Chicken,
Speaker 3: Big Mac, and you would like to send a review
Speaker 3: in send it care of fifth Hour and the fifth
Speaker 3: Hour email. If you don't know what that is, let
Speaker 3: me give that to you right now, the official fifth
Speaker 3: Hour email, which we do the mailbag on Siteay, it's
Speaker 3: real fifth hour at gmail dot com. That's it, Real
Speaker 3: fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Spell it all out,
Speaker 3: all letters, no numbers, Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com.
Speaker 3: A couple of those stories that came across my radar
Speaker 3: Taco Bell welcoming back, the Double Decker Taco and the
Speaker 3: Double Decker Taco Supreme.
Speaker 1: I'm good on that.
Speaker 3: Subway has introduced a couple of the new items they have,
Speaker 3: ghost pepper bread.
Speaker 1: I can go for that new spicy nacho steak.
Speaker 3: I'd have to look at that. And Firing Meatball sandwiches.
Speaker 3: That's a spicy meatball.
Speaker 1: I think I'm good. Costco. We love Costco. What's going
Speaker 1: on there?
Speaker 3: Well, apparently there's one item in particular that Costco has
Speaker 3: to figure out and a lot of complaints, a lot
Speaker 3: of problems here.
Speaker 1: What product is that? That would be bread? Bread Stone
Speaker 1: fire brand bread.
Speaker 3: Apparently it is often moldy right away, so think of
Speaker 3: this more as a PSA if you.
Speaker 1: Buy that brand of bread.
Speaker 3: They claim it's been a problem for a fair amount
Speaker 3: of time at the Costco.
Speaker 1: Why because bread gets mold. Popeyes famous.
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving Turkey is back, but you have to jump through
Speaker 3: a bunch of hoops to get your hands on that.
Speaker 3: KFC made a lot of food news, foody fun news
Speaker 3: this week. They have a new dessert offer. They're calling
Speaker 3: it cherry pie Poppers. Insert your own X rated joke
Speaker 3: on that cherry pie poppers. They also have launched the
Speaker 3: new original recipe Tenders with the eleven herbs and spices
Speaker 3: nationwide with the zesty comeback sauce.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm more of a crunchy chicken guy.
Speaker 3: I don't mind the original recipe, but if I'm eating Tenders,
Speaker 3: I want the crunch and I'm likely not going to KFC.
Speaker 3: I used to eat CAMFC all the time. Also Campc's
Speaker 3: original recipe Tenders.
Speaker 1: Several of you. You say outstanding, many, I say many?
Speaker 1: Two people.
Speaker 3: I say many. That sounds like a lot more than two.
Speaker 3: Two people send me emails about Burger King. So Burger
Speaker 3: King and Hidden Rancho have teamed up to create the
Speaker 3: Big Dip and this is already available right now select
Speaker 3: locations not available to nationally.
Speaker 1: It's New York, New York City.
Speaker 3: La, Chicago, Miami, Dallas, Houston, and San Francisco. And this
Speaker 3: is the kind of stuff that's disgusting. It's a it's
Speaker 3: a giant tub of ranch dressing and it's hard.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: I am not against a giant tub to dip into, uh,
Speaker 3: but ranch is the devil's blood. And I cannot imagine
Speaker 3: combining Burger King, which is you know, I ate it
Speaker 3: a lot as a kid.
Speaker 1: I last time I ate Burger King, I wanted to
Speaker 1: puke in my mouth. It was terrible. And I haven't
Speaker 1: been back since, so I think I'm good on that.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get out on that.
Speaker 3: Danny g will be back with me tomorrow on the
Speaker 3: Saturday audition. Hopefully we'll be celebrating the dayers going to
Speaker 3: the World Series. Yet again, it's every couple of years

Speaker 3: Tell a friend, get those Peacock numbers up, up and away.
Speaker 3: The more people that watch it, the better coverage we
Speaker 3: get on Peacock, and they'll allow more people access to it,
Speaker 3: so not that everyone doesn't have access to it, but
Speaker 3: they'll promote the show more crap like that. I have
Speaker 3: a wonderful day, and we'll see what happens today with
Speaker 3: the Dodgers. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
