<v Speaker 1>It's the fourth day of October, but a very important day.

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Will have a lot to get to on this podcast.

0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>We have the lot Lizards, honest and integrity, the brain fog,

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 1>foody fun, and the phrase of the week if we

0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 1>actually have time to get to it all. But we

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 1>start with something very important to day. This Friday, the

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 1>fourth of October, is a very special holiday. It is

0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>National Cinnamon Roll Day. If you regularly listen to the

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Overnight Show, then you know that we have had many

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>great arguments by the anti cinnamon role establishment, the donut

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 1>people that look down upon the cinnamon roll, saying it

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:32.400
<v Speaker 1>is a lesser item than the actual donut, but a warm,

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:38.400
<v Speaker 1>buttery bun covered in sugar and cinnamon. What is not

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 1>to like? What is not to like? Now? In honor

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:46.760
<v Speaker 1>of National cinemon roll Day, on this podcast, I decided

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 1>to provide you with fun facts. That's right, fun facts

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>about the cinnam role now number one, number one fun fact.

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>By the way, Daniel'll be back tomorrow, he's away on

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>assignment on this Friday podcast. But the cinnamon role, there

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:11.919
<v Speaker 1>is evidence in recorded human history that goes back two

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>thousand BC before Christ where these delicious early cinnamon rolls

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 1>were shipped from Egypt to China. There's evidence that shows

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 1>that cinnamon roles were imported from Egypt to China for

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>monarchs and royalty, and you know, the commoners were unable

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 1>to get them, right, the unwashed, the hoy PELOI couldn't

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 1>get them. Imagine what that trip must have been like.

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:49.520
<v Speaker 1>And is there any way that those cinnamon rolls were

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>actually edible? Anything about from Egypt to China? Good luck? Now,

0:02:56.400 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>in terms of more recent times, the Philadelphia style cineamrole,

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>which is not my favorite cineamroll, the Philadelphia cinemon role

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 1>is it goes back to the seventeen hundreds. That's honey, sugar, cinnamon,

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:15.040
<v Speaker 1>and raisins. Now, my my mom, May she rest in peace.

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:19.079
<v Speaker 1>She loved the raisins. I'm anti raisin, I'm no, I'm

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 1>team no Raisin. That's my position. But wait, there's more.

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:27.520
<v Speaker 1>The first cinnabun store in America. If you're old, you

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 1>know the cinnabun thing. Now it's just at airports, but

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 1>the first cinnabun store opened in Federal Way, Washington, and

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>immediately that thing took off within a couple of years.

0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>So some fun facts about the cinnamon role. I might

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 1>have to go out today and get a cinnamon roll.

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I was actually thinking about just getting a bear claw,

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, getting nice apple bear claw, but you know,

0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 1>apple turnover whatever. I have to add a semin roll

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 1>on top of that. I think that would be outstanding.

0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 1>What other holidays is it today? What do we got today? Well,

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 1>cinema roll is the big one. It's National Taco Day,

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 1>but I think that's bull crap because I thought we

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:16.280
<v Speaker 1>just had Taco Day on Tuesday. So it's National Vakta Day.

0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 1>If you're an alcoholic, knock yourself out, no vadkya. We

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.839
<v Speaker 1>always have it at the house. Nice huge vodka guy,

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:29.360
<v Speaker 1>don't don't hate it. But anyway, enough of that. Oh

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.599
<v Speaker 1>what fun it is, Oh what fun it is. This

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 1>is the Companion podcast. This part of it where I

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 1>blatantly attempt to convince you via the Spengali effect, to

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 1>be part of our fund part of the TV show

0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:51.160
<v Speaker 1>sweeping the nation one week at a time. As we

0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 1>hatched our show a few weeks back, and what time

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 1>is flying? By Time is Flying? It's week five, episode

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 1>six of Versus the Penny. We hit the air later

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 1>today this afternoon. Depending on when you're listening to this podcast,

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.400
<v Speaker 1>you can listen whenever. You can listen early in the day,

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:14.240
<v Speaker 1>late in the day. The first showing in Boston is

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:18.159
<v Speaker 1>this evening, and that is our flagship affiliate. The show

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.920
<v Speaker 1>is produced out of NBC Sports Boston, so it's very

0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 1>important that we do well there, otherwise we're in trouble.

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 1>So I especially need my guys that are in the

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Boston area that have access to a cable television or

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 1>satellite TV and NBC Sports Boston. We're on fine time.

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 1>We are on a great slot six PM, right after

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Felger and Maz get off the air and we need

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:51.160
<v Speaker 1>to beat the crap out of Nessen. There's a show

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 1>on there from this little like punk guy. I'm not

0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 1>going to say his name against us in that six

0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:59.600
<v Speaker 1>pm hour. It's an evergreen show. It's probably tap months ago.

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 1>We need to win that. And ferdgol I pointed out

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 1>on the Overnight Show a few hours ago that in

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 1>the LA market we start broadcasting on Saturday and that's

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 1>on the Lakers station early in the day and we're

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:20.240
<v Speaker 1>going against like the Weather Channel, some rerun weather programs,

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 1>so we should do pretty well on that. And if

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't have access to cable television or satellite TV

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.360
<v Speaker 1>and you can't get your hands on one of these

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 1>NBC sports affiliates, well good news. The show is now

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:37.880
<v Speaker 1>nationally broadcast on Peacock. Just type in Benny versus the

0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:43.719
<v Speaker 1>Penny on Peacock and you can watch anywhere from Seattle

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:47.760
<v Speaker 1>to Miami, from the shores of Maine all the way

0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:51.480
<v Speaker 1>down to San Diego and everywhere in between. You can

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.800
<v Speaker 1>check out Benny Versus the Penny. Now, as far as

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:58.840
<v Speaker 1>this week is concerned, we had a few grimlings. O

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 1>The Gremlins this week did not attack the green screen.

0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:09.520
<v Speaker 1>They attacked the microphone my microphone. Now, Fortunately, the difference

0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 1>between radio and television. When you do radio, it's one

0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:18.720
<v Speaker 1>person that has to solve the problem and a bunch

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:22.440
<v Speaker 1>of other people standing around if you're lucky, and then

0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.720
<v Speaker 1>you have the head engineer who you're not supposed to

0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 1>call because they're sleeping, and they'll fix whatever's broken in

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 1>the morning. That's normally how that has worked in my

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:36.240
<v Speaker 1>career in radio. But in television it's much different. Right,

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 1>there's people on the phone immediately and they're like fact

0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 1>finding that they've got this whole master outline. What's broken?

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.240
<v Speaker 1>How can we figure it out? You know? And it's

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 1>not like we'll wait on it. It's hey, we've got

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 1>a game plan and we have to get this done

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.240
<v Speaker 1>as soon as possible, which which makes you feel somewhat important.

0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Makes you feel somewhat important. So once they exterminated the

0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 1>little monsters, which just means they changed out my microphone,

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 1>it was smooth. The apping ahead. Now we actually had

0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 1>a really cool Hollywood moment this week on Benny Versus

0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 1>the Penn. I wanted to share this with you because

0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>you're a super p one. You are, I mean, you're

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.080
<v Speaker 1>listening to this podcast, which means you're like a higher

0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.080
<v Speaker 1>level if you listen to the Fifth Hour podcast in

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 1>addition to the overnight show. So we use I'm not

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna lie, we use a very small studio for Benny

0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 1>versus the Penny. I'm just happy we have a studio, right,

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>That's all I need. So we have this little studio

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:43.360
<v Speaker 1>at Universal Studios that we use, which is in the

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Brocaw Building Media Center, which is where the West Coast

0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:55.520
<v Speaker 1>hub of CNBC and NBC News National are and Telemoundo.

0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.800
<v Speaker 1>There's a bunch of different channels that are in this building.

0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:04.640
<v Speaker 1>I'll have various studios whatever. Fine. I think MSNBC has

0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:08.400
<v Speaker 1>a small, small studio there as well. So we're we're

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:12.280
<v Speaker 1>doing our show. And the thing about it is even

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:17.719
<v Speaker 1>our studios very small. We have full access to the

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 1>mammoth sized Universal Studios and it is a pinch yourself

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:27.520
<v Speaker 1>moment when you drive past the guard gate and move

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 1>into the Abbott and Costello parking garage, and week after

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 1>week it hasn't worn off yet. So after this week's show,

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:42.559
<v Speaker 1>we had little time and rather than sit in rush

0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:48.360
<v Speaker 1>hour LA traffic, we started exploring Universal Studios and it

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:52.240
<v Speaker 1>is awesome to wander around. I had access to the

0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Fox lot when Fox Sports Rados started Got twenty almost

0:09:57.840 --> 0:09:59.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty five years ago. We had access to the Fox

0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:01.880
<v Speaker 1>lot and it was really neat and it was fun.

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.559
<v Speaker 1>And I walked all over that place, the back lot

0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:09.280
<v Speaker 1>there in West La and it was so much fun.

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:11.520
<v Speaker 1>I used to It was so laid back in those

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:14.800
<v Speaker 1>days that I'd have buddies of mine that had moved

0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:19.160
<v Speaker 1>from California, like Texas or New York, and when they

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.559
<v Speaker 1>can't come back, say hey, do you want to come

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 1>on the Fox lot. We'll walk around the New York

0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:27.840
<v Speaker 1>City scene and we just like wandered around. It's like

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.760
<v Speaker 1>kids playing around, you know. I was much younger, but

0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.080
<v Speaker 1>we had a great time. It was awesome. I have

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.280
<v Speaker 1>fund memories of that. And then nine to eleven happened.

0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.080
<v Speaker 1>I happened to be at the Fox lot that day

0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.080
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden, it was like Fallojah. There

0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 1>was a military compound there. It was just an absolute

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:50.080
<v Speaker 1>change immediately, and so I could no longer take people there.

0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.600
<v Speaker 1>And so I really haven't spent much time since then

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:56.040
<v Speaker 1>on any of these movie lots other than now. The

0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.240
<v Speaker 1>last couple of years, and most of it's just to

0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:00.280
<v Speaker 1>do my job and get out of there. But we

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:05.080
<v Speaker 1>were wandering around after this week's episode, and the thing

0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:09.320
<v Speaker 1>that you feel is the energy, the vibe, the aura.

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 1>There's a level of excitement from the people. A lot

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:16.160
<v Speaker 1>of them ride bicycles and golf carts. At the movie studio,

0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:19.240
<v Speaker 1>there are very few cars. The cars that are there

0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:23.720
<v Speaker 1>are usually like the trams or the buses or whatever.

0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:28.680
<v Speaker 1>So but everyone seems like genuinely happy. They're excited, like

0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.960
<v Speaker 1>they're living their dreams. And it is the antithesis of

0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:36.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, looking at Eddie's mug, you know, or anybody

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:40.440
<v Speaker 1>in radio who's crusty and gloomy and nah bah humbug,

0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:42.959
<v Speaker 1>you know, that old thing which you normally get in radio.

0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.840
<v Speaker 1>You don't really get that. But nothing like that complete

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 1>opposite in this world. And so we taped a little

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:53.960
<v Speaker 1>social media thing. We try to do this every week,

0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 1>and if you're listening early on, it might not be up.

0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna put it up this after noon when I

0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.200
<v Speaker 1>wait when I wake up, and it's just a little

0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:07.080
<v Speaker 1>video to say, hey, come see the show. But in

0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.720
<v Speaker 1>this one, we filmed the video on the back lot.

0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:11.760
<v Speaker 1>You can call us a lot lizards, not the urban

0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:16.679
<v Speaker 1>dictionary binocular of a lot lizard. But as we're recording

0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 1>in front of this iconic stage where so many amazing

0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 1>shows have been recorded over the years, we're doing our thing.

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:31.320
<v Speaker 1>And a shuttle that's not a shuttle, it's the tourist group,

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:35.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, Universal Studios, Hollywood, the Amusement Park. A tram.

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 1>That's the tram. I just said it, and I forgot it.

0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:44.080
<v Speaker 1>A tram comes zooming by, and you'll see it if

0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:45.720
<v Speaker 1>you look at the videos soon to be on I'll

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:47.320
<v Speaker 1>put it on all the social media today. I'm gonna

0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:50.760
<v Speaker 1>put it on the X. I usually put these only

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:55.439
<v Speaker 1>on Instagram, or I'll put them on Facebook, usually both,

0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.960
<v Speaker 1>usually both of those. And yeah, it's just a little

0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:02.439
<v Speaker 1>video like a so saying, hey, watch Benny versus the

0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Benny blah blah blah blah blah uh. And but at

0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:08.679
<v Speaker 1>the end of it, you'll see the tram like zoom by.

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:11.240
<v Speaker 1>And we were like, both me and Looney were like,

0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.640
<v Speaker 1>that's like, that's kind of another one of those pinch

0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:19.000
<v Speaker 1>yourself moments. It's like, I feel like I have in

0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.760
<v Speaker 1>poster syndrome. So what are we doing are we really here?

0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Is this? Is this actually happening? And it does appear

0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:30.520
<v Speaker 1>by all accounts. It is not a figment of my imagination. Now,

0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:34.120
<v Speaker 1>if you want to follow me on Instagram, it's Ben

0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Mahllor on Fox. It's Ben Maller on Fox. The Facebook

0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 1>page is Ben Maller's show. I know a lot of

0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:42.200
<v Speaker 1>you follow me on X which is just my name,

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:46.199
<v Speaker 1>but Ben Mahller on Fox, on Instagram ben Mahler's show

0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:51.840
<v Speaker 1>on the Facebook page. So, uh, just to put a

0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:55.200
<v Speaker 1>ball on this, you know, it's just it's just really cool.

0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:58.680
<v Speaker 1>It's really really cool. And it was one of those

0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:00.839
<v Speaker 1>like awkward moments, was like, wait a minute. There's people

0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.360
<v Speaker 1>that paid money to go to Universal Studios on the

0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.520
<v Speaker 1>tram and they're like excited to be on the back

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:07.400
<v Speaker 1>lot here where they film all the movies and the

0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:11.400
<v Speaker 1>TV shows and they're looking at my fat ass and

0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Looney wearing a stupid shirt. You know, it's like, what

0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.640
<v Speaker 1>are we doing here? But that's what we did, and

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:19.920
<v Speaker 1>so how do you like them? Apples? Not bad right

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.840
<v Speaker 1>now as far as honest and integrity, I do not do lists.

0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I know Terry in England and Mark in the Bay Area,

0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:32.040
<v Speaker 1>a fan of the Warriors, the Raiders, the A's, the

0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady roast, and also the new SoundBite we got

0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:40.160
<v Speaker 1>from JD. Martinez on the show. So anyway, this is

0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:42.280
<v Speaker 1>not a list. It's Big Ben's Big Board Honest and

0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Integrity America's most trusted professions. It's going to Gallop a

0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Gallup Survey Honesty and Ethics Gallup Poll, and she's I

0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:57.800
<v Speaker 1>give you the top. Let me give you the top.

0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:04.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you the top five. Number five. Number five

0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:10.320
<v Speaker 1>would be the police officer forty five percent. Trust police

0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:14.400
<v Speaker 1>forty five percent. That means fifty five percent either don't

0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:19.720
<v Speaker 1>or are skeptical. Doctors only fifty six percent trust doctors.

0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:23.960
<v Speaker 1>A lot of shady doctors. Shout out Doc Mike in Chicago.

0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:28.600
<v Speaker 1>The dentist at fifty nine percent. Now the dennist is

0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.160
<v Speaker 1>a doctor, but a different kind of doctor. They're at

0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:36.200
<v Speaker 1>fifty nine percent. Engineers at number two on the Big

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Board at sixty percent. And do you know without cheating,

0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:46.840
<v Speaker 1>do not cheat? Do you know who is not the

0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:52.360
<v Speaker 1>number one trusted professionalty in America? According to Gallup, that

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:58.280
<v Speaker 1>would be none other than the nurse. Seventy eight percent

0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:02.160
<v Speaker 1>of Americans trust their nurse. Yeah, my mother in law

0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:05.840
<v Speaker 1>a nurse. Mother in law nurse. I've had other nurses

0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.240
<v Speaker 1>in the family. Here's the thing about nurses though, And

0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:09.920
<v Speaker 1>I tell nurse anybody, I have to go to the

0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:14.200
<v Speaker 1>hospital or the doctors. Like the doctors have such a rack.

0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:17.720
<v Speaker 1>They're the ones that get paid the most. But it

0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:23.080
<v Speaker 1>seems to me the nurse does eighty five to ninety

0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:26.120
<v Speaker 1>percent of the work. Am I wrong on that? Is

0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:28.520
<v Speaker 1>that an unpopular opinion? Every time I've gone to the

0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:31.120
<v Speaker 1>doctor or the dentist, it's the dental assistant or it's

0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:34.160
<v Speaker 1>the nurse that does a lot of the heavy lifting,

0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:38.080
<v Speaker 1>and then you're sitting around, you're waiting for the doctor

0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:41.280
<v Speaker 1>to bless you with their appearance. And I know we

0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:43.160
<v Speaker 1>have some doctors that listen to this podcasts. I've met

0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:46.400
<v Speaker 1>some of you when we've gone out and done these

0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 1>malord meeting greets. But it does seem like it's it's like, well,

0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 1>we'll just have them them do most of the work

0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:54.640
<v Speaker 1>and then we'll slide in there and then we'll do

0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.600
<v Speaker 1>we'll do the main stuff. But it's only ten percent. Yeah,

0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:00.120
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, ninety percent the nurse thing. So there

0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.680
<v Speaker 1>you go as far as the opposite end of the spectrum,

0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:05.800
<v Speaker 1>the three at the very bottom. I did not see

0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:07.800
<v Speaker 1>talk radio host on here, So I guess we are

0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:09.639
<v Speaker 1>trusted where it's somewhere in the middle. We must be

0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:15.120
<v Speaker 1>somewhere in the middle. I saw car salespeople, the trope

0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:19.880
<v Speaker 1>of the used car salesperson that was at number three

0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.439
<v Speaker 1>at the bottom here eight percent. Only eight percent of

0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Americans trust people selling them cars. But that's pretty much ended,

0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.960
<v Speaker 1>hasn't it. Like there's not even a lot of haggling.

0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Most car dealers now won't not even allow you to haggle.

0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.800
<v Speaker 1>They just don't like. You get what you get, and

0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:40.240
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna like what you get, and that's what you get,

0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:44.800
<v Speaker 1>and that's all. That's it, like a lot of these places.

0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:48.760
<v Speaker 1>But they say eight percent at number two on the

0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:53.880
<v Speaker 1>bottom list, second from the worst, senators eight percent, same

0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:59.840
<v Speaker 1>as car salesmen, and number last would be members of

0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Congress just six percent, six percent. That cuts across party lines.

0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:09.280
<v Speaker 1>That's a bipartisan issue that both Team Blue and Team

0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Red hate members of Commress, at least in terms of

0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:18.480
<v Speaker 1>judging them in terms of integrity, ethics, honesty, things like that.

0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Just six percent which I'm told is not good. I'm told,

0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:29.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm told that's not good. The brain fog, which is

0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:31.600
<v Speaker 1>another way of saying just a fun fact, but the

0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:34.720
<v Speaker 1>brain fog for today, on this fifth hours, we turned

0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the page. I read this the other day and it's

0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:41.480
<v Speaker 1>one of those fascinating things that you're like, wow, this

0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:44.240
<v Speaker 1>is so crazy, and you think, well, in my lifetime,

0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:48.879
<v Speaker 1>I've seen things somewhat similar to this. But George Washington.

0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:57.320
<v Speaker 1>George Washington died in seventeen ninety nine. The first dinosaur

0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:02.359
<v Speaker 1>fossil that she humans had discovered did not happen until

0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:06.960
<v Speaker 1>eighteen twenty four. So if you do the math, that

0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:12.400
<v Speaker 1>means that George Washington one of the most important figures

0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:16.600
<v Speaker 1>in American history. A founding father. George Washington lived his

0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:22.199
<v Speaker 1>entire life never realizing that dinosaurs had also lived on

0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 1>the planet. But then you thought, well, Washington also never

0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:28.280
<v Speaker 1>knew it. But the Internet did not exist, the automobile

0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:29.919
<v Speaker 1>did not exist. I mean, there's so many things that

0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:33.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't exist. And even in my lifetime. I remember when

0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:36.720
<v Speaker 1>I was a kid, my grandparents and we visit them.

0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:39.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, one set of grandparents lived real close. When

0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:43.280
<v Speaker 1>I was a kid, another one lived about an hour away,

0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:45.440
<v Speaker 1>and we'd see them. We'd see them once a month.

0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:47.560
<v Speaker 1>The other ones we saw pretty much all the time.

0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:52.040
<v Speaker 1>But when they died, and I was much younger and

0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:57.800
<v Speaker 1>there was no internet, social media obviously did not exist AI.

0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:01.920
<v Speaker 1>What is AI anything? But I knew them. They lived

0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:03.800
<v Speaker 1>their life fine, they got through life. And it's just

0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:06.240
<v Speaker 1>one of those weird things you think about and you're like, well,

0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:07.800
<v Speaker 1>we're all going to be gone too, and then what's

0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:09.400
<v Speaker 1>what's going to happen when we're gone? But you don't

0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:11.360
<v Speaker 1>need to worry about it because you're not there. It's

0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:13.840
<v Speaker 1>not your problem, someone else's problem to worry about. You

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:15.640
<v Speaker 1>don't have to worry about that. They've got to worry

0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:19.119
<v Speaker 1>about that. And that's how the pecking order of life works,

0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:21.080
<v Speaker 1>the social structure. You worry about the crap you have

0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:24.280
<v Speaker 1>to worry about, Well, you're in the pyramid, and then

0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:27.080
<v Speaker 1>when you're kicked out of the pyramid and you're no

0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:30.920
<v Speaker 1>longer there, then that's not your problem anymore, someone else's problem.

0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:34.280
<v Speaker 1>And that's that, And that's the same footpath that we

0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:39.840
<v Speaker 1>all take. Babe Ruth, the bambino Babe Ruth and what

0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:42.320
<v Speaker 1>he was what he was around. When he was around,

0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:45.400
<v Speaker 1>it was all newspaper writers and the radio didn't start

0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:50.040
<v Speaker 1>till nineteen twenty, nineteen twenties. There was no television at

0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:52.040
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of his time. The TV did come in,

0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:53.560
<v Speaker 1>but it was nothing like it. You know, it's today

0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:55.639
<v Speaker 1>and there's no obviously no social imagine Babe Ruth on

0:20:55.680 --> 0:21:01.480
<v Speaker 1>social media. Holy crap, foody, what do you say? Let's

0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:07.679
<v Speaker 1>go to foody fun, foody fun, foody fun. Let's do

0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:13.920
<v Speaker 1>it all right for food e fun da da da

0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:18.840
<v Speaker 1>food e fun. Okay, I've been told to never do

0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:22.920
<v Speaker 1>that again. I can't guarantee I will never do that again.

0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I know you like that fer dog. I know, I know.

0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:28.720
<v Speaker 1>All right, here we go foody fun. These are actual

0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:31.520
<v Speaker 1>food stories because we all got to eat. Experts have

0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:37.679
<v Speaker 1>revealed why McDonald's tastes better outside the US. Why do

0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:42.000
<v Speaker 1>you think that is? Could it be better ingredients? Could

0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:46.240
<v Speaker 1>it be possibly? Yeah, But they say, hey, if you

0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:48.320
<v Speaker 1>go to a McDonald's outside of the US, you have

0:21:48.359 --> 0:21:51.719
<v Speaker 1>the big Mac, you have the McChicken like you go

0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:57.160
<v Speaker 1>to Europe and it just tastes better. And so people

0:21:57.240 --> 0:22:02.720
<v Speaker 1>have wondered, is it real beefas it just taste better.

0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:06.240
<v Speaker 1>What is going on? Well, scientists have said the differences

0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:09.439
<v Speaker 1>in flavor are part of Part of it is the

0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:14.359
<v Speaker 1>different sugars used in the US compared to Europe. Americans

0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:19.800
<v Speaker 1>change use high bructose corn syrup, which is more sweet

0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:25.560
<v Speaker 1>than chain sugar, which is predominantly used in the UK

0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:30.440
<v Speaker 1>and all over Europe. So that is supposedly the thing

0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:34.080
<v Speaker 1>that's the different sugar. It's not the meat. So they

0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:36.560
<v Speaker 1>use the same animal meat, but they just dress it

0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:40.240
<v Speaker 1>up with the sugar. And they're the thing when you

0:22:40.280 --> 0:22:44.400
<v Speaker 1>look at the ingredients and they add like artificial dyes

0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:47.679
<v Speaker 1>and food coloring, and you know, you can leave a

0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:53.040
<v Speaker 1>big macout in January and come back in like October

0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:56.480
<v Speaker 1>where we are right now, and it will look almost

0:22:56.560 --> 0:23:00.600
<v Speaker 1>exactly the same. That ain't good. But they you leave

0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:03.960
<v Speaker 1>some foods out, like the bag of garlic. You leave

0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:05.840
<v Speaker 1>that out, and then all of a sudden that thing

0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:09.080
<v Speaker 1>turns even after a little while, that thing will turn nasty.

0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:13.240
<v Speaker 1>They'll be moled on it, or potatoes or any of that. Well,

0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:15.280
<v Speaker 1>if you live in an area where Del Taco is

0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:21.600
<v Speaker 1>a preferred Mexican restaurant over over the other alternatives in

0:23:21.640 --> 0:23:23.840
<v Speaker 1>the fast food, but not available everywhere. It's mostly in

0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:29.439
<v Speaker 1>the West. Deltaco releasing a new Dell's Mucho Meal starting

0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:34.760
<v Speaker 1>at four What do you get for four forty nine?

0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:39.080
<v Speaker 1>You get four forty nine. You have the the snack

0:23:39.200 --> 0:23:44.119
<v Speaker 1>Taco Moncho Meal, Mutro meal, two snack tacos, a mini

0:23:44.320 --> 0:23:48.639
<v Speaker 1>cinnamon Churo Truro, but it's mini small crinkle cut fries,

0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:51.800
<v Speaker 1>and a sixteen ounce drink. They have higher prices. They

0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:55.840
<v Speaker 1>have the seven to forty nine Chickens Lover Moucho Meal,

0:23:56.640 --> 0:24:01.359
<v Speaker 1>which is a grilled chicken taco, a chicken and chedder

0:24:01.800 --> 0:24:05.240
<v Speaker 1>roller whatever that is with your choice of Ranch no

0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:09.760
<v Speaker 1>thank you, Chipotle or green sauce. And then there's all

0:24:09.840 --> 0:24:13.080
<v Speaker 1>kinds of other stuff thrown in there. But I think

0:24:13.119 --> 0:24:16.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm I think I'm good on that. Back to McDonald's,

0:24:16.880 --> 0:24:19.119
<v Speaker 1>we talked about this in a previous episode of The

0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Fifth Hour. McDonald's has officially announced the launch of the

0:24:26.880 --> 0:24:30.879
<v Speaker 1>I Love the headline on this highly anticipated Chicken Big

0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Mac highly anticipated, the fan favorite since nineteen sixty eight,

0:24:38.240 --> 0:24:41.639
<v Speaker 1>So give me the details. Well, today is October fourth.

0:24:41.720 --> 0:24:46.560
<v Speaker 1>McDonald's announced this last week that a limited time offering

0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:52.520
<v Speaker 1>will be available in the US starting October tenth, So

0:24:53.280 --> 0:24:57.720
<v Speaker 1>this coming week, the Chicken Big Mac features two tempura

0:24:57.840 --> 0:25:01.840
<v Speaker 1>battered chicken patties in place of the iconic all beef patty,

0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:06.879
<v Speaker 1>layered with milty American cheese, lettuce, pickles, and two special

0:25:07.960 --> 0:25:10.720
<v Speaker 1>or a ton of special sauce served on that sesame

0:25:10.720 --> 0:25:15.440
<v Speaker 1>seed bun. And so you can pick that up. They

0:25:15.480 --> 0:25:20.000
<v Speaker 1>say rices will vary, which means in California it'll probably

0:25:20.000 --> 0:25:21.919
<v Speaker 1>cost you thirty bucks. But if you happen to live

0:25:21.960 --> 0:25:25.840
<v Speaker 1>in Mississippi, or you live in Louisiana or Arkansas or Kentucky,

0:25:26.320 --> 0:25:31.639
<v Speaker 1>it'll be much cheaper. You lucky devil, You lucky lucky devil. Well,

0:25:31.640 --> 0:25:35.399
<v Speaker 1>if you like free things with a catch, you're probably

0:25:35.440 --> 0:25:39.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna need to go to Buffalo Wild Wings On Monday.

0:25:39.840 --> 0:25:41.600
<v Speaker 1>They have one of these promotions to get people to

0:25:41.640 --> 0:25:44.560
<v Speaker 1>come in and watch Monday Night Football. Actually, not Buffalo Wi,

0:25:44.720 --> 0:25:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I say Buffalo Who Wings? I meant Applebee's bat job

0:25:47.359 --> 0:25:51.680
<v Speaker 1>by me. Every Monday after a Sunday NFL pick six

0:25:51.720 --> 0:25:55.200
<v Speaker 1>at Applebee's. You get not one, not two, not three,

0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:58.280
<v Speaker 1>not four, nine five about six free boneless wings. But

0:25:58.600 --> 0:26:01.480
<v Speaker 1>you have to spend ten bucks so they'll toss in,

0:26:01.720 --> 0:26:06.080
<v Speaker 1>they'll throw your bone and you'll get an extra six

0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:10.520
<v Speaker 1>boneless wings to knock yourself out and have a wonderful time.

0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:14.000
<v Speaker 1>There was a new study done the fastest and most

0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:17.199
<v Speaker 1>satisfying fast food chains. Does that interest you it all?

0:26:17.200 --> 0:26:19.439
<v Speaker 1>Should we look at that on foody fund? You're shaking

0:26:19.440 --> 0:26:22.359
<v Speaker 1>your head? Yes? All right? Well even if you're not,

0:26:22.400 --> 0:26:25.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna pretend you are. I'm not looking at you.

0:26:25.640 --> 0:26:28.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm not stocking you. I'm just pretending you're you're shaking

0:26:28.720 --> 0:26:31.800
<v Speaker 1>your head. Yes, all right, at least you meanies, all right.

0:26:31.800 --> 0:26:34.760
<v Speaker 1>So a new survey from next Star whatever that is,

0:26:35.720 --> 0:26:39.040
<v Speaker 1>and this year they conducted over sixteen hundred drive through

0:26:39.160 --> 0:26:43.480
<v Speaker 1>visits at ten chains nationwide. Those ten chains were Arby's

0:26:43.600 --> 0:26:47.240
<v Speaker 1>which Danny g loves, Burger King which nobody loves, Carl's

0:26:47.320 --> 0:26:53.239
<v Speaker 1>Junior Parties that combination, Chick fil A, Duncan only known

0:26:53.240 --> 0:26:57.240
<v Speaker 1>as Duncan, Donu's, KFC, McDonald's, Taco Bell, Windy's, and new

0:26:57.280 --> 0:27:01.440
<v Speaker 1>this year raising chains. So they went through and they

0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:07.960
<v Speaker 1>tested all of these and what did they find? What

0:27:08.280 --> 0:27:12.840
<v Speaker 1>did they find? Well, based on total fastest time in

0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:17.240
<v Speaker 1>the car, they said that no chain was faster than

0:27:17.359 --> 0:27:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Chick fil A time of one hundred and thirty nine

0:27:20.800 --> 0:27:28.000
<v Speaker 1>point three seven seconds, but close behind raising canes upstart

0:27:28.160 --> 0:27:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Raising Chains, which was the only other company with the

0:27:31.480 --> 0:27:38.639
<v Speaker 1>total time below two hundred seconds, so less than four minutes.

0:27:38.880 --> 0:27:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Good job raising cans. Chick fil A was not as

0:27:42.000 --> 0:27:47.359
<v Speaker 1>successful in other speed categories. Taco Bell again regained the

0:27:47.480 --> 0:27:51.000
<v Speaker 1>top spot for total time from entering the drive through

0:27:52.119 --> 0:27:56.399
<v Speaker 1>through exiting with the food they claim a corn to

0:27:56.400 --> 0:28:01.359
<v Speaker 1>this study, and sours who didn't do that well? Who

0:28:01.359 --> 0:28:07.000
<v Speaker 1>did not do that well? The weight time, total time

0:28:07.320 --> 0:28:10.720
<v Speaker 1>in terms of wait time, and the whole thing record

0:28:10.800 --> 0:28:14.640
<v Speaker 1>to this. I'm trying to read this right. The satisfaction

0:28:14.760 --> 0:28:21.760
<v Speaker 1>score the lowest was Duncan eighty nine percent. Wendy's was

0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:29.240
<v Speaker 1>next lowest in satisfaction at ninety percent. Order accuracy Chick

0:28:29.240 --> 0:28:33.160
<v Speaker 1>fil A was at ninety three percent. They were number one,

0:28:33.200 --> 0:28:38.480
<v Speaker 1>tied with McDonald's. So some of the numbers there from

0:28:38.480 --> 0:28:41.760
<v Speaker 1>that survey time. Now we'll get out on this the

0:28:41.880 --> 0:28:47.240
<v Speaker 1>phrase of the week, the phrase of the week, and

0:28:47.320 --> 0:28:50.040
<v Speaker 1>the phrase of the week in honor of those of

0:28:50.160 --> 0:28:53.200
<v Speaker 1>us that work crazy hours. As soon as I get

0:28:53.280 --> 0:28:55.720
<v Speaker 1>done with this podcast, I am going to go lay

0:28:55.760 --> 0:28:58.920
<v Speaker 1>down and go to sleep, and the phrase of the

0:28:58.960 --> 0:29:03.960
<v Speaker 1>week is sleep tight. I hope to sleep tight. So

0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:08.040
<v Speaker 1>where does this one come from? Mike, who listens religiously

0:29:08.840 --> 0:29:12.040
<v Speaker 1>in North Carolina, where my father in law lives most

0:29:12.080 --> 0:29:15.200
<v Speaker 1>of the year. Mike writes and he says, Hey, Ben,

0:29:16.240 --> 0:29:18.200
<v Speaker 1>I've heard this for years, since I was a little kid,

0:29:18.320 --> 0:29:20.640
<v Speaker 1>and I'm too lazy to look it up. Can you

0:29:20.680 --> 0:29:25.120
<v Speaker 1>please tell me as I do my honeydo list. I

0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:28.000
<v Speaker 1>guess he's going to listen on Saturday, but he says

0:29:28.240 --> 0:29:29.560
<v Speaker 1>he wanted me to do this, but I'm doing I

0:29:29.640 --> 0:29:31.760
<v Speaker 1>realize I'm doing it Mike on Friday, so hopefully you'll

0:29:31.800 --> 0:29:34.200
<v Speaker 1>hear this. I probably should have looked at that part

0:29:34.240 --> 0:29:36.320
<v Speaker 1>of the email. Anyway. He says he's heard this for

0:29:36.320 --> 0:29:37.959
<v Speaker 1>a long time. He does this honey do list on

0:29:38.000 --> 0:29:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Saturday and he catches up on the podcast, So maybe

0:29:40.400 --> 0:29:43.080
<v Speaker 1>you'll listen to this one a Friday on a Saturday.

0:29:43.600 --> 0:29:47.360
<v Speaker 1>So sleep tight now. According to my minutes long malor research,

0:29:47.800 --> 0:29:52.400
<v Speaker 1>the classical explanation behind the phrase sleep tight goes all

0:29:52.440 --> 0:29:57.400
<v Speaker 1>the way back to medieval times and the archaic beds

0:29:58.240 --> 0:30:02.760
<v Speaker 1>and people slept on ben that were made with rope

0:30:03.240 --> 0:30:07.640
<v Speaker 1>strong in medieval times, and so they didn't have springs,

0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:11.280
<v Speaker 1>So instead of springs, they used ropes that needed to

0:30:11.320 --> 0:30:16.640
<v Speaker 1>be tied tightly under the mattress to keep it securely

0:30:16.680 --> 0:30:19.280
<v Speaker 1>in place. Hence the phrase sleep tight, which was a

0:30:19.400 --> 0:30:24.840
<v Speaker 1>figurative term in medieval times. Now, the other scenario, the

0:30:24.840 --> 0:30:28.920
<v Speaker 1>other origin story that is out there, which is not

0:30:29.000 --> 0:30:32.880
<v Speaker 1>as believable, is that in olden times, people believed that

0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:39.000
<v Speaker 1>goblins and spirits, evil spirits were lurking in the dark

0:30:39.720 --> 0:30:43.040
<v Speaker 1>and could cause harm if they were not dealt with appropriately.

0:30:43.640 --> 0:30:46.680
<v Speaker 1>So when someone said sleep tight, they were actually wishing

0:30:46.720 --> 0:30:52.440
<v Speaker 1>their loved one, their relative, their friend, a sleep free

0:30:52.440 --> 0:30:55.479
<v Speaker 1>of harm. You know, anything bad to happen. All right

0:30:55.520 --> 0:30:58.320

<v Speaker 1>Tampa should have could have won that game. They gagged

0:31:17.680 --> 0:31:21.120
