But we 17 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: start with something very important to day. This Friday, the 18 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: fourth of October, is a very special holiday. It is 19 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: National Cinnamon Roll Day. If you regularly listen to the 20 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: Overnight Show, then you know that we have had many 21 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: great arguments by the anti cinnamon role establishment, the donut 22 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: people that look down upon the cinnamon roll, saying it 23 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: is a lesser item than the actual donut, but a warm, 24 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: buttery bun covered in sugar and cinnamon. What is not 25 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: to like? What is not to like? Now? In honor 26 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: of National cinemon roll Day, on this podcast, I decided 27 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: to provide you with fun facts. That's right, fun facts 28 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: about the cinnam role now number one, number one fun fact. 29 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: By the way, Daniel'll be back tomorrow, he's away on 30 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: assignment on this Friday podcast. But the cinnamon role, there 31 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: is evidence in recorded human history that goes back two 32 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: thousand BC before Christ where these delicious early cinnamon rolls 33 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: were shipped from Egypt to China. There's evidence that shows 34 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: that cinnamon roles were imported from Egypt to China for 35 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: monarchs and royalty, and you know, the commoners were unable 36 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: to get them, right, the unwashed, the hoy PELOI couldn't 37 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: get them. Imagine what that trip must have been like. 38 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: And is there any way that those cinnamon rolls were 39 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: actually edible? Anything about from Egypt to China? Good luck? Now, 40 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: in terms of more recent times, the Philadelphia style cineamrole, 41 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: which is not my favorite cineamroll, the Philadelphia cinemon role 42 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: is it goes back to the seventeen hundreds. That's honey, sugar, cinnamon, 43 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: and raisins. Now, my my mom, May she rest in peace. 44 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: She loved the raisins. I'm anti raisin, I'm no, I'm 45 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: team no Raisin. That's my position. But wait, there's more. 46 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: The first cinnabun store in America. If you're old, you 47 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: know the cinnabun thing. Now it's just at airports, but 48 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: the first cinnabun store opened in Federal Way, Washington, and 49 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: immediately that thing took off within a couple of years. 50 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: So some fun facts about the cinnamon role. I might 51 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: have to go out today and get a cinnamon roll. 52 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: I was actually thinking about just getting a bear claw, 53 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: you know, getting nice apple bear claw, but you know, 54 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: apple turnover whatever. I have to add a semin roll 55 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: on top of that. I think that would be outstanding. 56 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: What other holidays is it today? What do we got today? Well, 57 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: cinema roll is the big one. It's National Taco Day, 58 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: but I think that's bull crap because I thought we 59 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: just had Taco Day on Tuesday. So it's National Vakta Day. 60 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: If you're an alcoholic, knock yourself out, no vadkya. We 61 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: always have it at the house. Nice huge vodka guy, 62 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: don't don't hate it. But anyway, enough of that. Oh 63 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 1: what fun it is, Oh what fun it is. This 64 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: is the Companion podcast. This part of it where I 65 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: blatantly attempt to convince you via the Spengali effect, to 66 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: be part of our fund part of the TV show 67 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: sweeping the nation one week at a time. As we 68 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: hatched our show a few weeks back, and what time 69 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: is flying? By Time is Flying? It's week five, episode 70 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: six of Versus the Penny. We hit the air later 71 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: today this afternoon. Depending on when you're listening to this podcast, 72 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: you can listen whenever. You can listen early in the day, 73 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: late in the day. The first showing in Boston is 74 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: this evening, and that is our flagship affiliate. The show 75 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: is produced out of NBC Sports Boston, so it's very 76 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: important that we do well there, otherwise we're in trouble. 77 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: So I especially need my guys that are in the 78 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: Boston area that have access to a cable television or 79 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: satellite TV and NBC Sports Boston. We're on fine time. 80 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: We are on a great slot six PM, right after 81 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: Felger and Maz get off the air and we need 82 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: to beat the crap out of Nessen. There's a show 83 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: on there from this little like punk guy. I'm not 84 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: going to say his name against us in that six 85 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: pm hour. It's an evergreen show. It's probably tap months ago. 86 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: We need to win that. And ferdgol I pointed out 87 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: on the Overnight Show a few hours ago that in 88 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: the LA market we start broadcasting on Saturday and that's 89 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: on the Lakers station early in the day and we're 90 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: going against like the Weather Channel, some rerun weather programs, 91 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: so we should do pretty well on that. And if 92 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: you don't have access to cable television or satellite TV 93 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: and you can't get your hands on one of these 94 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: NBC sports affiliates, well good news. The show is now 95 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: nationally broadcast on Peacock. Just type in Benny versus the 96 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: Penny on Peacock and you can watch anywhere from Seattle 97 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: to Miami, from the shores of Maine all the way 98 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: down to San Diego and everywhere in between. You can 99 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: check out Benny Versus the Penny. Now, as far as 100 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: this week is concerned, we had a few grimlings. O 101 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: The Gremlins this week did not attack the green screen. 102 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: They attacked the microphone my microphone. Now, Fortunately, the difference 103 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: between radio and television. When you do radio, it's one 104 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: person that has to solve the problem and a bunch 105 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: of other people standing around if you're lucky, and then 106 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: you have the head engineer who you're not supposed to 107 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: call because they're sleeping, and they'll fix whatever's broken in 108 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: the morning. That's normally how that has worked in my 109 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: career in radio. But in television it's much different. Right, 110 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: there's people on the phone immediately and they're like fact 111 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: finding that they've got this whole master outline. What's broken? 112 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: How can we figure it out? You know? And it's 113 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: not like we'll wait on it. It's hey, we've got 114 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: a game plan and we have to get this done 115 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: as soon as possible, which which makes you feel somewhat important. 116 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: Makes you feel somewhat important. So once they exterminated the 117 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: little monsters, which just means they changed out my microphone, 118 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: it was smooth. The apping ahead. Now we actually had 119 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: a really cool Hollywood moment this week on Benny Versus 120 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: the Penn. I wanted to share this with you because 121 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: you're a super p one. You are, I mean, you're 122 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: listening to this podcast, which means you're like a higher 123 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: level if you listen to the Fifth Hour podcast in 124 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: addition to the overnight show. So we use I'm not 125 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: gonna lie, we use a very small studio for Benny 126 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: versus the Penny. I'm just happy we have a studio, right, 127 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: That's all I need. So we have this little studio 128 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: at Universal Studios that we use, which is in the 129 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: Brocaw Building Media Center, which is where the West Coast 130 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: hub of CNBC and NBC News National are and Telemoundo. 131 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: There's a bunch of different channels that are in this building. 132 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: I'll have various studios whatever. Fine. I think MSNBC has 133 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: a small, small studio there as well. So we're we're 134 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: doing our show. And the thing about it is even 135 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:17,719 Speaker 1: our studios very small. We have full access to the 136 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: mammoth sized Universal Studios and it is a pinch yourself 137 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: moment when you drive past the guard gate and move 138 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: into the Abbott and Costello parking garage, and week after 139 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: week it hasn't worn off yet. So after this week's show, 140 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 1: we had little time and rather than sit in rush 141 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: hour LA traffic, we started exploring Universal Studios and it 142 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: is awesome to wander around. I had access to the 143 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: Fox lot when Fox Sports Rados started Got twenty almost 144 00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: twenty five years ago. We had access to the Fox 145 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: lot and it was really neat and it was fun. 146 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 1: And I walked all over that place, the back lot 147 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: there in West La and it was so much fun. 148 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: I used to It was so laid back in those 149 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: days that I'd have buddies of mine that had moved 150 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: from California, like Texas or New York, and when they 151 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 1: can't come back, say hey, do you want to come 152 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: on the Fox lot. We'll walk around the New York 153 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: City scene and we just like wandered around. It's like 154 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: kids playing around, you know. I was much younger, but 155 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: we had a great time. It was awesome. I have 156 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: fund memories of that. And then nine to eleven happened. 157 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: I happened to be at the Fox lot that day 158 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it was like Fallojah. There 159 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: was a military compound there. It was just an absolute 160 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: change immediately, and so I could no longer take people there. 161 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: And so I really haven't spent much time since then 162 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: on any of these movie lots other than now. The 163 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: last couple of years, and most of it's just to 164 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: do my job and get out of there. But we 165 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: were wandering around after this week's episode, and the thing 166 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: that you feel is the energy, the vibe, the aura. 167 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: There's a level of excitement from the people. A lot 168 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: of them ride bicycles and golf carts. At the movie studio, 169 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: there are very few cars. The cars that are there 170 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: are usually like the trams or the buses or whatever. 171 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: So but everyone seems like genuinely happy. They're excited, like 172 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: they're living their dreams. And it is the antithesis of 173 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: you know, looking at Eddie's mug, you know, or anybody 174 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: in radio who's crusty and gloomy and nah bah humbug, 175 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 1: you know, that old thing which you normally get in radio. 176 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: You don't really get that. But nothing like that complete 177 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: opposite in this world. And so we taped a little 178 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: social media thing. We try to do this every week, 179 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: and if you're listening early on, it might not be up. 180 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it up this after noon when I 181 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: wait when I wake up, and it's just a little 182 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: video to say, hey, come see the show. But in 183 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: this one, we filmed the video on the back lot. 184 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: You can call us a lot lizards, not the urban 185 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 1: dictionary binocular of a lot lizard. But as we're recording 186 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: in front of this iconic stage where so many amazing 187 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: shows have been recorded over the years, we're doing our thing. 188 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: And a shuttle that's not a shuttle, it's the tourist group, 189 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,359 Speaker 1: you know, Universal Studios, Hollywood, the Amusement Park. A tram. 190 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: That's the tram. I just said it, and I forgot it. 191 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: A tram comes zooming by, and you'll see it if 192 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: you look at the videos soon to be on I'll 193 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: put it on all the social media today. I'm gonna 194 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: put it on the X. I usually put these only 195 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 1: on Instagram, or I'll put them on Facebook, usually both, 196 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: usually both of those. And yeah, it's just a little 197 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 1: video like a so saying, hey, watch Benny versus the 198 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: Benny blah blah blah blah blah uh. And but at 199 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: the end of it, you'll see the tram like zoom by. 200 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: And we were like, both me and Looney were like, 201 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: that's like, that's kind of another one of those pinch 202 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: yourself moments. It's like, I feel like I have in 203 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: poster syndrome. So what are we doing are we really here? 204 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: Is this? Is this actually happening? And it does appear 205 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: by all accounts. It is not a figment of my imagination. Now, 206 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: if you want to follow me on Instagram, it's Ben 207 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: Mahllor on Fox. It's Ben Maller on Fox. The Facebook 208 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: page is Ben Maller's show. I know a lot of 209 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: you follow me on X which is just my name, 210 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 1: but Ben Mahller on Fox, on Instagram ben Mahler's show 211 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: on the Facebook page. So, uh, just to put a 212 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: ball on this, you know, it's just it's just really cool. 213 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: It's really really cool. And it was one of those 214 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,839 Speaker 1: like awkward moments, was like, wait a minute. There's people 215 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: that paid money to go to Universal Studios on the 216 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: tram and they're like excited to be on the back 217 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: lot here where they film all the movies and the 218 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: TV shows and they're looking at my fat ass and 219 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: Looney wearing a stupid shirt. You know, it's like, what 220 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: are we doing here? But that's what we did, and 221 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: so how do you like them? Apples? Not bad right 222 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: now as far as honest and integrity, I do not do lists. 223 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: I know Terry in England and Mark in the Bay Area, 224 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: a fan of the Warriors, the Raiders, the A's, the 225 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: Tom Brady roast, and also the new SoundBite we got 226 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: from JD. Martinez on the show. So anyway, this is 227 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: not a list. It's Big Ben's Big Board Honest and 228 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: Integrity America's most trusted professions. It's going to Gallop a 229 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: Gallup Survey Honesty and Ethics Gallup Poll, and she's I 230 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: give you the top. Let me give you the top. 231 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: I'll give you the top five. Number five. Number five 232 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: would be the police officer forty five percent. Trust police 233 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: forty five percent. That means fifty five percent either don't 234 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: or are skeptical. Doctors only fifty six percent trust doctors. 235 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: A lot of shady doctors. Shout out Doc Mike in Chicago. 236 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: The dentist at fifty nine percent. Now the dennist is 237 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: a doctor, but a different kind of doctor. They're at 238 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: fifty nine percent. Engineers at number two on the Big 239 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: Board at sixty percent. And do you know without cheating, 240 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: do not cheat? Do you know who is not the 241 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: number one trusted professionalty in America? According to Gallup, that 242 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: would be none other than the nurse. Seventy eight percent 243 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: of Americans trust their nurse. Yeah, my mother in law 244 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: a nurse. Mother in law nurse. I've had other nurses 245 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: in the family. Here's the thing about nurses though, And 246 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: I tell nurse anybody, I have to go to the 247 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: hospital or the doctors. Like the doctors have such a rack. 248 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: They're the ones that get paid the most. But it 249 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: seems to me the nurse does eighty five to ninety 250 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: percent of the work. Am I wrong on that? Is 251 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: that an unpopular opinion? Every time I've gone to the 252 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: doctor or the dentist, it's the dental assistant or it's 253 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: the nurse that does a lot of the heavy lifting, 254 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: and then you're sitting around, you're waiting for the doctor 255 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: to bless you with their appearance. And I know we 256 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: have some doctors that listen to this podcasts. I've met 257 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: some of you when we've gone out and done these 258 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: malord meeting greets. But it does seem like it's it's like, well, 259 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: we'll just have them them do most of the work 260 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: and then we'll slide in there and then we'll do 261 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: we'll do the main stuff. But it's only ten percent. Yeah, 262 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: it's you know, ninety percent the nurse thing. So there 263 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: you go as far as the opposite end of the spectrum, 264 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: the three at the very bottom. I did not see 265 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: talk radio host on here, So I guess we are 266 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: trusted where it's somewhere in the middle. We must be 267 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 1: somewhere in the middle. I saw car salespeople, the trope 268 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: of the used car salesperson that was at number three 269 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 1: at the bottom here eight percent. Only eight percent of 270 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: Americans trust people selling them cars. But that's pretty much ended, 271 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: hasn't it. Like there's not even a lot of haggling. 272 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: Most car dealers now won't not even allow you to haggle. 273 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: They just don't like. You get what you get, and 274 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna like what you get, and that's what you get, 275 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: and that's all. That's it, like a lot of these places. 276 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: But they say eight percent at number two on the 277 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 1: bottom list, second from the worst, senators eight percent, same 278 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: as car salesmen, and number last would be members of 279 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: Congress just six percent, six percent. That cuts across party lines. 280 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: That's a bipartisan issue that both Team Blue and Team 281 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: Red hate members of Commress, at least in terms of 282 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: judging them in terms of integrity, ethics, honesty, things like that. 283 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: Just six percent which I'm told is not good. I'm told, 284 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 1: I'm told that's not good. The brain fog, which is 285 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: another way of saying just a fun fact, but the 286 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: brain fog for today, on this fifth hours, we turned 287 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: the page. I read this the other day and it's 288 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: one of those fascinating things that you're like, wow, this 289 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: is so crazy, and you think, well, in my lifetime, 290 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: I've seen things somewhat similar to this. But George Washington. 291 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: George Washington died in seventeen ninety nine. The first dinosaur 292 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: fossil that she humans had discovered did not happen until 293 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: eighteen twenty four. So if you do the math, that 294 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 1: means that George Washington one of the most important figures 295 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: in American history. A founding father. George Washington lived his 296 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:22,199 Speaker 1: entire life never realizing that dinosaurs had also lived on 297 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: the planet. But then you thought, well, Washington also never 298 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: knew it. But the Internet did not exist, the automobile 299 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 1: did not exist. I mean, there's so many things that 300 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: didn't exist. And even in my lifetime. I remember when 301 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: I was a kid, my grandparents and we visit them. 302 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: You know, one set of grandparents lived real close. When 303 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: I was a kid, another one lived about an hour away, 304 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: and we'd see them. We'd see them once a month. 305 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: The other ones we saw pretty much all the time. 306 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: But when they died, and I was much younger and 307 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: there was no internet, social media obviously did not exist AI. 308 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 1: What is AI anything? But I knew them. They lived 309 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: their life fine, they got through life. And it's just 310 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: one of those weird things you think about and you're like, well, 311 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: we're all going to be gone too, and then what's 312 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: what's going to happen when we're gone? But you don't 313 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,360 Speaker 1: need to worry about it because you're not there. It's 314 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: not your problem, someone else's problem to worry about. You 315 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 1: don't have to worry about that. They've got to worry 316 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: about that. And that's how the pecking order of life works, 317 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: the social structure. You worry about the crap you have 318 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: to worry about, Well, you're in the pyramid, and then 319 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: when you're kicked out of the pyramid and you're no 320 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: longer there, then that's not your problem anymore, someone else's problem. 321 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: And that's that, And that's the same footpath that we 322 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: all take. Babe Ruth, the bambino Babe Ruth and what 323 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: he was what he was around. When he was around, 324 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 1: it was all newspaper writers and the radio didn't start 325 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: till nineteen twenty, nineteen twenties. There was no television at 326 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: the beginning of his time. The TV did come in, 327 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: but it was nothing like it. You know, it's today 328 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 1: and there's no obviously no social imagine Babe Ruth on 329 00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: social media. Holy crap, foody, what do you say? Let's 330 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 1: go to foody fun, foody fun, foody fun.

I know, I know. 335 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: All right, here we go foody fun. These are actual 336 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: food stories because we all got to eat. Experts have 337 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 1: revealed why McDonald's tastes better outside the US. Why do 338 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: you think that is? Could it be better ingredients? Could 339 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: it be possibly? Yeah, But they say, hey, if you 340 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: go to a McDonald's outside of the US, you have 341 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,719 Speaker 1: the big Mac, you have the McChicken like you go 342 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: to Europe and it just tastes better. And so people 343 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: have wondered, is it real beefas it just taste better. 344 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: What is going on? Well, scientists have said the differences 345 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 1: in flavor are part of Part of it is the 346 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: different sugars used in the US compared to Europe. Americans 347 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: change use high bructose corn syrup, which is more sweet 348 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: than chain sugar, which is predominantly used in the UK 349 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: and all over Europe. So that is supposedly the thing 350 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: that's the different sugar. It's not the meat. So they 351 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: use the same animal meat, but they just dress it 352 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: up with the sugar. And they're the thing when you 353 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 1: look at the ingredients and they add like artificial dyes 354 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 1: and food coloring, and you know, you can leave a 355 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: big macout in January and come back in like October 356 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: where we are right now, and it will look almost 357 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: exactly the same. That ain't good. But they you leave 358 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: some foods out, like the bag of garlic. You leave 359 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: that out, and then all of a sudden that thing 360 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: turns even after a little while, that thing will turn nasty. 361 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: They'll be moled on it, or potatoes or any of that. Well, 362 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: if you live in an area where Del Taco is 363 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: a preferred Mexican restaurant over over the other alternatives in 364 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: the fast food, but not available everywhere. It's mostly in 365 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 1: the West. Deltaco releasing a new Dell's Mucho Meal starting 366 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: at four What do you get for four forty nine? 367 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: You get four forty nine.

Back to McDonald's, 377 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: we talked about this in a previous episode of The 378 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: Fifth Hour.

Does that interest you it all? 406 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 1: Should we look at that on foody fund? You're shaking 407 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: your head? Yes?

Those ten chains were Arby's 414 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: which Danny g loves, Burger King which nobody loves, Carl's 415 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:53,239 Speaker 1: Junior Parties that combination, Chick fil A, Duncan only known 416 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: as Duncan, Donu's, KFC, McDonald's, Taco Bell, Windy's, and new 417 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: this year raising chains. So they went through and they 418 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: tested all of these and what did they find? What 419 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: did they find? Well, based on total fastest time in 420 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: the car, they said that no chain was faster than 421 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: Chick fil A time of one hundred and thirty nine 422 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: point three seven seconds, but close behind raising canes upstart 423 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: Raising Chains, which was the only other company with the 424 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: total time below two hundred seconds, so less than four minutes. 425 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: Good job raising cans. Chick fil A was not as 426 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: successful in other speed categories. Taco Bell again regained the 427 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: top spot for total time from entering the drive through 428 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 1: through exiting with the food they claim a corn to 429 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: this study, and sours who didn't do that well? Who 430 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: did not do that well? The weight time, total time 431 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: in terms of wait time, and the whole thing record 432 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 1: to this. I'm trying to read this right. The satisfaction 433 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: score the lowest was Duncan eighty nine percent. Wendy's was 434 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: next lowest in satisfaction at ninety percent.

So some of the numbers there from 437 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: that survey time. Now we'll get out on this the 438 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: phrase of the week, the phrase of the week, and 439 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: the phrase of the week in honor of those of 440 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: us that work crazy hours. As soon as I get 441 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: done with this podcast, I am going to go lay 442 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: down and go to sleep, and the phrase of the 443 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: week is sleep tight. I hope to sleep tight. So 444 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: where does this one come from? Mike, who listens religiously 445 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: in North Carolina, where my father in law lives most 446 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: of the year. Mike writes and he says, Hey, Ben, 447 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: I've heard this for years, since I was a little kid, 448 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: and I'm too lazy to look it up. Can you 449 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: please tell me as I do my honeydo list. I 450 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: guess he's going to listen on Saturday, but he says 451 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: he wanted me to do this, but I'm doing I 452 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: realize I'm doing it Mike on Friday, so hopefully you'll 453 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: hear this. I probably should have looked at that part 454 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: of the email. Anyway. He says he's heard this for 455 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:37,959 Speaker 1: a long time. He does this honey do list on 456 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: Saturday and he catches up on the podcast, So maybe 457 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 1: you'll listen to this one a Friday on a Saturday. 458 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: So sleep tight now. According to my minutes long malor research, 459 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: the classical explanation behind the phrase sleep tight goes all 460 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: the way back to medieval times and the archaic beds 461 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: and people slept on ben that were made with rope 462 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: strong in medieval times, and so they didn't have springs, 463 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: So instead of springs, they used ropes that needed to 464 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: be tied tightly under the mattress to keep it securely 465 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: in place. Hence the phrase sleep tight, which was a 466 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: figurative term in medieval times. Now, the other scenario, the 467 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: other origin story that is out there, which is not 468 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: as believable, is that in olden times, people believed that 469 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: goblins and spirits, evil spirits were lurking in the dark 470 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: and could cause harm if they were not dealt with appropriately. 471 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: So when someone said sleep tight, they were actually wishing 472 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: their loved one, their relative, their friend, a sleep free 473 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,479 Speaker 1: of harm. You know, anything bad to happen. All right 474 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: there It is the edition of the Fifth Hour again 475 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: Benny versus the Penny.

That was a bad beat for me. 480 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: Tampa should have could have won that game. They gagged 481 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: it away, choking choking dogs. Even with the terrible defense 482 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: they had the game in the bag the Buccaneers and 483 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 1: they fumbled it away put the bug on the rug. 484 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: Bad job by them. And also the baseball game where 485 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: the Metropolitans did something they don't normally do.
