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.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Speaker 1: Mallor and Danny g Radio and a Happy Friday to you.
Speaker 1: It's the fourth day of October, but a very important day.
Speaker 1: Will have a lot to get to on this podcast.
Speaker 1: We have the lot Lizards, honest and integrity, the brain fog,
Speaker 1: foody fun, and the phrase of the week if we
Speaker 1: actually have time to get to it all. But we
Speaker 1: start with something very important to day. This Friday, the
Speaker 1: fourth of October, is a very special holiday. It is
Speaker 1: National Cinnamon Roll Day. If you regularly listen to the
Speaker 1: Overnight Show, then you know that we have had many
Speaker 1: great arguments by the anti cinnamon role establishment, the donut
Speaker 1: people that look down upon the cinnamon roll, saying it
Speaker 1: is a lesser item than the actual donut, but a warm,
Speaker 1: buttery bun covered in sugar and cinnamon. What is not
Speaker 1: to like? What is not to like? Now? In honor
Speaker 1: of National cinemon roll Day, on this podcast, I decided
Speaker 1: to provide you with fun facts. That's right, fun facts
Speaker 1: about the cinnam role now number one, number one fun fact.
Speaker 1: By the way, Daniel'll be back tomorrow, he's away on
Speaker 1: assignment on this Friday podcast. But the cinnamon role, there
Speaker 1: is evidence in recorded human history that goes back two
Speaker 1: thousand BC before Christ where these delicious early cinnamon rolls
Speaker 1: were shipped from Egypt to China. There's evidence that shows
Speaker 1: that cinnamon roles were imported from Egypt to China for
Speaker 1: monarchs and royalty, and you know, the commoners were unable
Speaker 1: to get them, right, the unwashed, the hoy PELOI couldn't
Speaker 1: get them. Imagine what that trip must have been like.
Speaker 1: And is there any way that those cinnamon rolls were
Speaker 1: actually edible? Anything about from Egypt to China? Good luck? Now,
Speaker 1: in terms of more recent times, the Philadelphia style cineamrole,
Speaker 1: which is not my favorite cineamroll, the Philadelphia cinemon role
Speaker 1: is it goes back to the seventeen hundreds. That's honey, sugar, cinnamon,
Speaker 1: and raisins. Now, my my mom, May she rest in peace.
Speaker 1: She loved the raisins. I'm anti raisin, I'm no, I'm
Speaker 1: team no Raisin. That's my position. But wait, there's more.
Speaker 1: The first cinnabun store in America. If you're old, you
Speaker 1: know the cinnabun thing. Now it's just at airports, but
Speaker 1: the first cinnabun store opened in Federal Way, Washington, and
Speaker 1: immediately that thing took off within a couple of years.
Speaker 1: So some fun facts about the cinnamon role. I might
Speaker 1: have to go out today and get a cinnamon roll.
Speaker 1: I was actually thinking about just getting a bear claw,
Speaker 1: you know, getting nice apple bear claw, but you know,
Speaker 1: apple turnover whatever. I have to add a semin roll
Speaker 1: on top of that. I think that would be outstanding.
Speaker 1: What other holidays is it today? What do we got today? Well,
Speaker 1: cinema roll is the big one. It's National Taco Day,
Speaker 1: but I think that's bull crap because I thought we
Speaker 1: just had Taco Day on Tuesday. So it's National Vakta Day.
Speaker 1: If you're an alcoholic, knock yourself out, no vadkya. We
Speaker 1: always have it at the house. Nice huge vodka guy,
Speaker 1: don't don't hate it. But anyway, enough of that. Oh
Speaker 1: what fun it is, Oh what fun it is. This
Speaker 1: is the Companion podcast. This part of it where I
Speaker 1: blatantly attempt to convince you via the Spengali effect, to
Speaker 1: be part of our fund part of the TV show
Speaker 1: sweeping the nation one week at a time. As we
Speaker 1: hatched our show a few weeks back, and what time
Speaker 1: is flying? By Time is Flying? It's week five, episode
Speaker 1: six of Versus the Penny. We hit the air later
Speaker 1: today this afternoon. Depending on when you're listening to this podcast,
Speaker 1: you can listen whenever. You can listen early in the day,
Speaker 1: late in the day. The first showing in Boston is
Speaker 1: this evening, and that is our flagship affiliate. The show
Speaker 1: is produced out of NBC Sports Boston, so it's very
Speaker 1: important that we do well there, otherwise we're in trouble.
Speaker 1: So I especially need my guys that are in the
Speaker 1: Boston area that have access to a cable television or
Speaker 1: satellite TV and NBC Sports Boston. We're on fine time.
Speaker 1: We are on a great slot six PM, right after
Speaker 1: Felger and Maz get off the air and we need
Speaker 1: to beat the crap out of Nessen. There's a show
Speaker 1: on there from this little like punk guy. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to say his name against us in that six
Speaker 1: pm hour. It's an evergreen show. It's probably tap months ago.
Speaker 1: We need to win that. And ferdgol I pointed out
Speaker 1: on the Overnight Show a few hours ago that in
Speaker 1: the LA market we start broadcasting on Saturday and that's
Speaker 1: on the Lakers station early in the day and we're
Speaker 1: going against like the Weather Channel, some rerun weather programs,
Speaker 1: so we should do pretty well on that. And if
Speaker 1: you don't have access to cable television or satellite TV
Speaker 1: and you can't get your hands on one of these
Speaker 1: NBC sports affiliates, well good news. The show is now
Speaker 1: nationally broadcast on Peacock. Just type in Benny versus the
Speaker 1: Penny on Peacock and you can watch anywhere from Seattle
Speaker 1: to Miami, from the shores of Maine all the way
Speaker 1: down to San Diego and everywhere in between. You can
Speaker 1: check out Benny Versus the Penny. Now, as far as
Speaker 1: this week is concerned, we had a few grimlings. O
Speaker 1: The Gremlins this week did not attack the green screen.
Speaker 1: They attacked the microphone my microphone. Now, Fortunately, the difference
Speaker 1: between radio and television. When you do radio, it's one
Speaker 1: person that has to solve the problem and a bunch
Speaker 1: of other people standing around if you're lucky, and then
Speaker 1: you have the head engineer who you're not supposed to
Speaker 1: call because they're sleeping, and they'll fix whatever's broken in
Speaker 1: the morning. That's normally how that has worked in my
Speaker 1: career in radio. But in television it's much different. Right,
Speaker 1: there's people on the phone immediately and they're like fact
Speaker 1: finding that they've got this whole master outline. What's broken?
Speaker 1: How can we figure it out? You know? And it's
Speaker 1: not like we'll wait on it. It's hey, we've got
Speaker 1: a game plan and we have to get this done
Speaker 1: as soon as possible, which which makes you feel somewhat important.
Speaker 1: Makes you feel somewhat important. So once they exterminated the
Speaker 1: little monsters, which just means they changed out my microphone,
Speaker 1: it was smooth. The apping ahead. Now we actually had
Speaker 1: a really cool Hollywood moment this week on Benny Versus
Speaker 1: the Penn. I wanted to share this with you because
Speaker 1: you're a super p one. You are, I mean, you're
Speaker 1: listening to this podcast, which means you're like a higher
Speaker 1: level if you listen to the Fifth Hour podcast in
Speaker 1: addition to the overnight show. So we use I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna lie, we use a very small studio for Benny
Speaker 1: versus the Penny. I'm just happy we have a studio, right,
Speaker 1: That's all I need. So we have this little studio
Speaker 1: at Universal Studios that we use, which is in the
Speaker 1: Brocaw Building Media Center, which is where the West Coast
Speaker 1: hub of CNBC and NBC News National are and Telemoundo.
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of different channels that are in this building.
Speaker 1: I'll have various studios whatever. Fine. I think MSNBC has
Speaker 1: a small, small studio there as well. So we're we're
Speaker 1: doing our show. And the thing about it is even
Speaker 1: our studios very small. We have full access to the
Speaker 1: mammoth sized Universal Studios and it is a pinch yourself
Speaker 1: moment when you drive past the guard gate and move
Speaker 1: into the Abbott and Costello parking garage, and week after
Speaker 1: week it hasn't worn off yet. So after this week's show,
Speaker 1: we had little time and rather than sit in rush
Speaker 1: hour LA traffic, we started exploring Universal Studios and it
Speaker 1: is awesome to wander around. I had access to the
Speaker 1: Fox lot when Fox Sports Rados started Got twenty almost
Speaker 1: twenty five years ago. We had access to the Fox
Speaker 1: lot and it was really neat and it was fun.
Speaker 1: And I walked all over that place, the back lot
Speaker 1: there in West La and it was so much fun.
Speaker 1: I used to It was so laid back in those
Speaker 1: days that I'd have buddies of mine that had moved
Speaker 1: from California, like Texas or New York, and when they
Speaker 1: can't come back, say hey, do you want to come
Speaker 1: on the Fox lot. We'll walk around the New York
Speaker 1: City scene and we just like wandered around. It's like
Speaker 1: kids playing around, you know. I was much younger, but
Speaker 1: we had a great time. It was awesome. I have
Speaker 1: fund memories of that. And then nine to eleven happened.
Speaker 1: I happened to be at the Fox lot that day
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it was like Fallojah. There
Speaker 1: was a military compound there. It was just an absolute
Speaker 1: change immediately, and so I could no longer take people there.
Speaker 1: And so I really haven't spent much time since then
Speaker 1: on any of these movie lots other than now. The
Speaker 1: last couple of years, and most of it's just to
Speaker 1: do my job and get out of there. But we
Speaker 1: were wandering around after this week's episode, and the thing
Speaker 1: that you feel is the energy, the vibe, the aura.
Speaker 1: There's a level of excitement from the people. A lot
Speaker 1: of them ride bicycles and golf carts. At the movie studio,
Speaker 1: there are very few cars. The cars that are there
Speaker 1: are usually like the trams or the buses or whatever.
Speaker 1: So but everyone seems like genuinely happy. They're excited, like
Speaker 1: they're living their dreams. And it is the antithesis of
Speaker 1: you know, looking at Eddie's mug, you know, or anybody
Speaker 1: in radio who's crusty and gloomy and nah bah humbug,
Speaker 1: you know, that old thing which you normally get in radio.
Speaker 1: You don't really get that. But nothing like that complete
Speaker 1: opposite in this world. And so we taped a little
Speaker 1: social media thing. We try to do this every week,
Speaker 1: and if you're listening early on, it might not be up.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it up this after noon when I
Speaker 1: wait when I wake up, and it's just a little
Speaker 1: video to say, hey, come see the show. But in
Speaker 1: this one, we filmed the video on the back lot.
Speaker 1: You can call us a lot lizards, not the urban
Speaker 1: dictionary binocular of a lot lizard. But as we're recording
Speaker 1: in front of this iconic stage where so many amazing
Speaker 1: shows have been recorded over the years, we're doing our thing.
Speaker 1: And a shuttle that's not a shuttle, it's the tourist group,
Speaker 1: you know, Universal Studios, Hollywood, the Amusement Park. A tram.
Speaker 1: That's the tram. I just said it, and I forgot it.
Speaker 1: A tram comes zooming by, and you'll see it if
Speaker 1: you look at the videos soon to be on I'll
Speaker 1: put it on all the social media today. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: put it on the X. I usually put these only
Speaker 1: on Instagram, or I'll put them on Facebook, usually both,
Speaker 1: usually both of those. And yeah, it's just a little
Speaker 1: video like a so saying, hey, watch Benny versus the
Speaker 1: Benny blah blah blah blah blah uh. And but at
Speaker 1: the end of it, you'll see the tram like zoom by.
Speaker 1: And we were like, both me and Looney were like,
Speaker 1: that's like, that's kind of another one of those pinch
Speaker 1: yourself moments. It's like, I feel like I have in
Speaker 1: poster syndrome. So what are we doing are we really here?
Speaker 1: Is this? Is this actually happening? And it does appear
Speaker 1: by all accounts. It is not a figment of my imagination. Now,
Speaker 1: if you want to follow me on Instagram, it's Ben
Speaker 1: Mahllor on Fox. It's Ben Maller on Fox. The Facebook
Speaker 1: page is Ben Maller's show. I know a lot of
Speaker 1: you follow me on X which is just my name,
Speaker 1: but Ben Mahller on Fox, on Instagram ben Mahler's show
Speaker 1: on the Facebook page. So, uh, just to put a
Speaker 1: ball on this, you know, it's just it's just really cool.
Speaker 1: It's really really cool. And it was one of those
Speaker 1: like awkward moments, was like, wait a minute. There's people
Speaker 1: that paid money to go to Universal Studios on the
Speaker 1: tram and they're like excited to be on the back
Speaker 1: lot here where they film all the movies and the
Speaker 1: TV shows and they're looking at my fat ass and
Speaker 1: Looney wearing a stupid shirt. You know, it's like, what
Speaker 1: are we doing here? But that's what we did, and
Speaker 1: so how do you like them? Apples? Not bad right
Speaker 1: now as far as honest and integrity, I do not do lists.
Speaker 1: I know Terry in England and Mark in the Bay Area,
Speaker 1: a fan of the Warriors, the Raiders, the A's, the
Speaker 1: Tom Brady roast, and also the new SoundBite we got
Speaker 1: from JD. Martinez on the show. So anyway, this is
Speaker 1: not a list. It's Big Ben's Big Board Honest and
Speaker 1: Integrity America's most trusted professions. It's going to Gallop a
Speaker 1: Gallup Survey Honesty and Ethics Gallup Poll, and she's I
Speaker 1: give you the top. Let me give you the top.
Speaker 1: I'll give you the top five. Number five. Number five
Speaker 1: would be the police officer forty five percent. Trust police
Speaker 1: forty five percent. That means fifty five percent either don't
Speaker 1: or are skeptical. Doctors only fifty six percent trust doctors.
Speaker 1: A lot of shady doctors. Shout out Doc Mike in Chicago.
Speaker 1: The dentist at fifty nine percent. Now the dennist is
Speaker 1: a doctor, but a different kind of doctor. They're at
Speaker 1: fifty nine percent. Engineers at number two on the Big
Speaker 1: Board at sixty percent. And do you know without cheating,
Speaker 1: do not cheat? Do you know who is not the
Speaker 1: number one trusted professionalty in America? According to Gallup, that
Speaker 1: would be none other than the nurse. Seventy eight percent
Speaker 1: of Americans trust their nurse. Yeah, my mother in law
Speaker 1: a nurse. Mother in law nurse. I've had other nurses
Speaker 1: in the family. Here's the thing about nurses though, And
Speaker 1: I tell nurse anybody, I have to go to the
Speaker 1: hospital or the doctors. Like the doctors have such a rack.
Speaker 1: They're the ones that get paid the most. But it
Speaker 1: seems to me the nurse does eighty five to ninety
Speaker 1: percent of the work. Am I wrong on that? Is
Speaker 1: that an unpopular opinion? Every time I've gone to the
Speaker 1: doctor or the dentist, it's the dental assistant or it's
Speaker 1: the nurse that does a lot of the heavy lifting,
Speaker 1: and then you're sitting around, you're waiting for the doctor
Speaker 1: to bless you with their appearance. And I know we
Speaker 1: have some doctors that listen to this podcasts. I've met
Speaker 1: some of you when we've gone out and done these
Speaker 1: malord meeting greets. But it does seem like it's it's like, well,
Speaker 1: we'll just have them them do most of the work
Speaker 1: and then we'll slide in there and then we'll do
Speaker 1: we'll do the main stuff. But it's only ten percent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's you know, ninety percent the nurse thing. So there
Speaker 1: you go as far as the opposite end of the spectrum,
Speaker 1: the three at the very bottom. I did not see
Speaker 1: talk radio host on here, So I guess we are
Speaker 1: trusted where it's somewhere in the middle. We must be
Speaker 1: somewhere in the middle. I saw car salespeople, the trope
Speaker 1: of the used car salesperson that was at number three
Speaker 1: at the bottom here eight percent. Only eight percent of
Speaker 1: Americans trust people selling them cars. But that's pretty much ended,
Speaker 1: hasn't it. Like there's not even a lot of haggling.
Speaker 1: Most car dealers now won't not even allow you to haggle.
Speaker 1: They just don't like. You get what you get, and
Speaker 1: you're gonna like what you get, and that's what you get,
Speaker 1: and that's all. That's it, like a lot of these places.
Speaker 1: But they say eight percent at number two on the
Speaker 1: bottom list, second from the worst, senators eight percent, same
Speaker 1: as car salesmen, and number last would be members of
Speaker 1: Congress just six percent, six percent. That cuts across party lines.
Speaker 1: That's a bipartisan issue that both Team Blue and Team
Speaker 1: Red hate members of Commress, at least in terms of
Speaker 1: judging them in terms of integrity, ethics, honesty, things like that.
Speaker 1: Just six percent which I'm told is not good. I'm told,
Speaker 1: I'm told that's not good. The brain fog, which is
Speaker 1: another way of saying just a fun fact, but the
Speaker 1: brain fog for today, on this fifth hours, we turned
Speaker 1: the page. I read this the other day and it's
Speaker 1: one of those fascinating things that you're like, wow, this
Speaker 1: is so crazy, and you think, well, in my lifetime,
Speaker 1: I've seen things somewhat similar to this. But George Washington.
Speaker 1: George Washington died in seventeen ninety nine. The first dinosaur
Speaker 1: fossil that she humans had discovered did not happen until
Speaker 1: eighteen twenty four. So if you do the math, that
Speaker 1: means that George Washington one of the most important figures
Speaker 1: in American history. A founding father. George Washington lived his
Speaker 1: entire life never realizing that dinosaurs had also lived on
Speaker 1: the planet. But then you thought, well, Washington also never
Speaker 1: knew it. But the Internet did not exist, the automobile
Speaker 1: did not exist. I mean, there's so many things that
Speaker 1: didn't exist. And even in my lifetime. I remember when
Speaker 1: I was a kid, my grandparents and we visit them.
Speaker 1: You know, one set of grandparents lived real close. When
Speaker 1: I was a kid, another one lived about an hour away,
Speaker 1: and we'd see them. We'd see them once a month.
Speaker 1: The other ones we saw pretty much all the time.
Speaker 1: But when they died, and I was much younger and
Speaker 1: there was no internet, social media obviously did not exist AI.
Speaker 1: What is AI anything? But I knew them. They lived
Speaker 1: their life fine, they got through life. And it's just
Speaker 1: one of those weird things you think about and you're like, well,
Speaker 1: we're all going to be gone too, and then what's
Speaker 1: what's going to happen when we're gone? But you don't
Speaker 1: need to worry about it because you're not there. It's
Speaker 1: not your problem, someone else's problem to worry about. You
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about that. They've got to worry
Speaker 1: about that. And that's how the pecking order of life works,
Speaker 1: the social structure. You worry about the crap you have
Speaker 1: to worry about, Well, you're in the pyramid, and then
Speaker 1: when you're kicked out of the pyramid and you're no
Speaker 1: longer there, then that's not your problem anymore, someone else's problem.
Speaker 1: And that's that, And that's the same footpath that we
Speaker 1: all take. Babe Ruth, the bambino Babe Ruth and what
Speaker 1: he was what he was around. When he was around,
Speaker 1: it was all newspaper writers and the radio didn't start
Speaker 1: till nineteen twenty, nineteen twenties. There was no television at
Speaker 1: the beginning of his time. The TV did come in,
Speaker 1: but it was nothing like it. You know, it's today
Speaker 1: and there's no obviously no social imagine Babe Ruth on
Speaker 1: social media. Holy crap, foody, what do you say? Let's
Speaker 1: go to foody fun, foody fun, foody fun. Let's do
Speaker 1: it all right for food e fun da da da
Speaker 1: food e fun. Okay, I've been told to never do
Speaker 1: that again. I can't guarantee I will never do that again.
Speaker 1: I know you like that fer dog. I know, I know.
Speaker 1: All right, here we go foody fun. These are actual
Speaker 1: food stories because we all got to eat. Experts have
Speaker 1: revealed why McDonald's tastes better outside the US. Why do
Speaker 1: you think that is? Could it be better ingredients? Could
Speaker 1: it be possibly? Yeah, But they say, hey, if you
Speaker 1: go to a McDonald's outside of the US, you have
Speaker 1: the big Mac, you have the McChicken like you go
Speaker 1: to Europe and it just tastes better. And so people
Speaker 1: have wondered, is it real beefas it just taste better.
Speaker 1: What is going on? Well, scientists have said the differences
Speaker 1: in flavor are part of Part of it is the
Speaker 1: different sugars used in the US compared to Europe. Americans
Speaker 1: change use high bructose corn syrup, which is more sweet
Speaker 1: than chain sugar, which is predominantly used in the UK
Speaker 1: and all over Europe. So that is supposedly the thing
Speaker 1: that's the different sugar. It's not the meat. So they
Speaker 1: use the same animal meat, but they just dress it
Speaker 1: up with the sugar. And they're the thing when you
Speaker 1: look at the ingredients and they add like artificial dyes
Speaker 1: and food coloring, and you know, you can leave a
Speaker 1: big macout in January and come back in like October
Speaker 1: where we are right now, and it will look almost
Speaker 1: exactly the same. That ain't good. But they you leave
Speaker 1: some foods out, like the bag of garlic. You leave
Speaker 1: that out, and then all of a sudden that thing
Speaker 1: turns even after a little while, that thing will turn nasty.
Speaker 1: They'll be moled on it, or potatoes or any of that. Well,
Speaker 1: if you live in an area where Del Taco is
Speaker 1: a preferred Mexican restaurant over over the other alternatives in
Speaker 1: the fast food, but not available everywhere. It's mostly in
Speaker 1: the West. Deltaco releasing a new Dell's Mucho Meal starting
Speaker 1: at four What do you get for four forty nine?
Speaker 1: You get four forty nine. You have the the snack
Speaker 1: Taco Moncho Meal, Mutro meal, two snack tacos, a mini
Speaker 1: cinnamon Churo Truro, but it's mini small crinkle cut fries,
Speaker 1: and a sixteen ounce drink. They have higher prices. They
Speaker 1: have the seven to forty nine Chickens Lover Moucho Meal,
Speaker 1: which is a grilled chicken taco, a chicken and chedder
Speaker 1: roller whatever that is with your choice of Ranch no
Speaker 1: thank you, Chipotle or green sauce. And then there's all
Speaker 1: kinds of other stuff thrown in there. But I think
Speaker 1: I'm I think I'm good on that. Back to McDonald's,
Speaker 1: we talked about this in a previous episode of The
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour. McDonald's has officially announced the launch of the
Speaker 1: I Love the headline on this highly anticipated Chicken Big
Speaker 1: Mac highly anticipated, the fan favorite since nineteen sixty eight,
Speaker 1: So give me the details. Well, today is October fourth.
Speaker 1: McDonald's announced this last week that a limited time offering
Speaker 1: will be available in the US starting October tenth, So
Speaker 1: this coming week, the Chicken Big Mac features two tempura
Speaker 1: battered chicken patties in place of the iconic all beef patty,
Speaker 1: layered with milty American cheese, lettuce, pickles, and two special
Speaker 1: or a ton of special sauce served on that sesame
Speaker 1: seed bun. And so you can pick that up. They
Speaker 1: say rices will vary, which means in California it'll probably
Speaker 1: cost you thirty bucks. But if you happen to live
Speaker 1: in Mississippi, or you live in Louisiana or Arkansas or Kentucky,
Speaker 1: it'll be much cheaper. You lucky devil, You lucky lucky devil. Well,
Speaker 1: if you like free things with a catch, you're probably
Speaker 1: gonna need to go to Buffalo Wild Wings On Monday.
Speaker 1: They have one of these promotions to get people to
Speaker 1: come in and watch Monday Night Football. Actually, not Buffalo Wi,
Speaker 1: I say Buffalo Who Wings? I meant Applebee's bat job
Speaker 1: by me. Every Monday after a Sunday NFL pick six
Speaker 1: at Applebee's. You get not one, not two, not three,
Speaker 1: not four, nine five about six free boneless wings. But
Speaker 1: you have to spend ten bucks so they'll toss in,
Speaker 1: they'll throw your bone and you'll get an extra six
Speaker 1: boneless wings to knock yourself out and have a wonderful time.
Speaker 1: There was a new study done the fastest and most
Speaker 1: satisfying fast food chains. Does that interest you it all?
Speaker 1: Should we look at that on foody fund? You're shaking
Speaker 1: your head? Yes? All right? Well even if you're not,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pretend you are. I'm not looking at you.
Speaker 1: I'm not stocking you. I'm just pretending you're you're shaking
Speaker 1: your head. Yes, all right, at least you meanies, all right.
Speaker 1: So a new survey from next Star whatever that is,
Speaker 1: and this year they conducted over sixteen hundred drive through
Speaker 1: visits at ten chains nationwide. Those ten chains were Arby's
Speaker 1: which Danny g loves, Burger King which nobody loves, Carl's
Speaker 1: Junior Parties that combination, Chick fil A, Duncan only known
Speaker 1: as Duncan, Donu's, KFC, McDonald's, Taco Bell, Windy's, and new
Speaker 1: this year raising chains. So they went through and they
Speaker 1: tested all of these and what did they find? What
Speaker 1: did they find? Well, based on total fastest time in
Speaker 1: the car, they said that no chain was faster than
Speaker 1: Chick fil A time of one hundred and thirty nine
Speaker 1: point three seven seconds, but close behind raising canes upstart
Speaker 1: Raising Chains, which was the only other company with the
Speaker 1: total time below two hundred seconds, so less than four minutes.
Speaker 1: Good job raising cans. Chick fil A was not as
Speaker 1: successful in other speed categories. Taco Bell again regained the
Speaker 1: top spot for total time from entering the drive through
Speaker 1: through exiting with the food they claim a corn to
Speaker 1: this study, and sours who didn't do that well? Who
Speaker 1: did not do that well? The weight time, total time
Speaker 1: in terms of wait time, and the whole thing record
Speaker 1: to this. I'm trying to read this right. The satisfaction
Speaker 1: score the lowest was Duncan eighty nine percent. Wendy's was
Speaker 1: next lowest in satisfaction at ninety percent. Order accuracy Chick
Speaker 1: fil A was at ninety three percent. They were number one,
Speaker 1: tied with McDonald's. So some of the numbers there from
Speaker 1: that survey time. Now we'll get out on this the
Speaker 1: phrase of the week, the phrase of the week, and
Speaker 1: the phrase of the week in honor of those of
Speaker 1: us that work crazy hours. As soon as I get
Speaker 1: done with this podcast, I am going to go lay
Speaker 1: down and go to sleep, and the phrase of the
Speaker 1: week is sleep tight. I hope to sleep tight. So
Speaker 1: where does this one come from? Mike, who listens religiously
Speaker 1: in North Carolina, where my father in law lives most
Speaker 1: of the year. Mike writes and he says, Hey, Ben,
Speaker 1: I've heard this for years, since I was a little kid,
Speaker 1: and I'm too lazy to look it up. Can you
Speaker 1: please tell me as I do my honeydo list. I
Speaker 1: guess he's going to listen on Saturday, but he says
Speaker 1: he wanted me to do this, but I'm doing I
Speaker 1: realize I'm doing it Mike on Friday, so hopefully you'll
Speaker 1: hear this. I probably should have looked at that part
Speaker 1: of the email. Anyway. He says he's heard this for
Speaker 1: a long time. He does this honey do list on
Speaker 1: Saturday and he catches up on the podcast, So maybe
Speaker 1: you'll listen to this one a Friday on a Saturday.
Speaker 1: So sleep tight now. According to my minutes long malor research,
Speaker 1: the classical explanation behind the phrase sleep tight goes all
Speaker 1: the way back to medieval times and the archaic beds
Speaker 1: and people slept on ben that were made with rope
Speaker 1: strong in medieval times, and so they didn't have springs,
Speaker 1: So instead of springs, they used ropes that needed to
Speaker 1: be tied tightly under the mattress to keep it securely
Speaker 1: in place. Hence the phrase sleep tight, which was a
Speaker 1: figurative term in medieval times. Now, the other scenario, the
Speaker 1: other origin story that is out there, which is not
Speaker 1: as believable, is that in olden times, people believed that
Speaker 1: goblins and spirits, evil spirits were lurking in the dark
Speaker 1: and could cause harm if they were not dealt with appropriately.
Speaker 1: So when someone said sleep tight, they were actually wishing
Speaker 1: their loved one, their relative, their friend, a sleep free
Speaker 1: of harm. You know, anything bad to happen. All right
Speaker 1: there It is the edition of the Fifth Hour again
Speaker 1: Benny versus the Penny. Thank you for listening to this podcast,
Speaker 1: and don't forget we had the Overnight Show, the Original
Speaker 1: Recipe podcast, the Ben Maler Show, four hours of original
Speaker 1: content breaking down that wild game last night between the
Speaker 1: Falcons and the Buccaneers. That was a bad beat for me.
Speaker 1: Tampa should have could have won that game. They gagged
Speaker 1: it away, choking choking dogs. Even with the terrible defense
Speaker 1: they had the game in the bag the Buccaneers and
Speaker 1: they fumbled it away put the bug on the rug.
Speaker 1: Bad job by them. And also the baseball game where
Speaker 1: the Metropolitans did something they don't normally do. They came
