Speaker 1: Cutbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to clearing House
Speaker 2: of hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth
Speaker 2: Hour with Ben Mahller starts right now.
Speaker 3: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Speaker 3: Mahler and Danny g Radio A happy beginning to your weekend.
Speaker 3: We are hanging out together here as we whisper around.
Speaker 3: So I did the radio show overnight. I then hung
Speaker 3: out with the wife and Moxie and then walked back
Speaker 3: into the podcast studio. We're doing the show from the
Speaker 3: remote studio, but now back into the podcast studio, and
Speaker 3: here we are cooking with gas as we heave. Not
Speaker 3: hot takes. But this is this podcast not about the
Speaker 3: hot take. It's about something else. But I had a
Speaker 3: couple of things I wanted to get to. The take
Speaker 3: a seat story, foody fun, and the Real Secret Sauce
Speaker 3: all featured on this kickoff to the weekend.
Speaker 1: Here a amazing.
Speaker 3: Heave ho to the week as we have fun on
Speaker 3: the weekend, and we will not be jumping through hoops
Speaker 3: on this podcast, So we'll begin with this the seat
Speaker 3: on the plane. Now, there are many ways, many ways
Speaker 3: to lose a job in the NFL, and having talked
Speaker 3: about and documented the NFL over the years on the radio,
Speaker 3: I know just about all of them. We talk about
Speaker 3: these things regularly on the radio show. You can blow coverages,
Speaker 3: you can misevaluate a quarterback, you can pick the wrong
Speaker 3: player in the first round of the jibt. You can
Speaker 3: forget how to manage a clock like it's a ticking
Speaker 3: time bomb. Tick tick tick tick tick tick tick kaboom,
Speaker 3: the wirings all messed up. And then there's the most
Speaker 3: modern NFL way of all. You can lose a job
Speaker 3: over a seat assignment on a plane. Not x's and o's,
Speaker 3: its seat B three. No, sir, you're not in seat
Speaker 3: B three. You've got to go to seat C twenty seven.
Speaker 3: But no, I'm always in this seat. Who goofed? I've
Speaker 3: got to know. Now entering the chat, Brian Cox with
Speaker 3: a y Brian Cox, who lost his Giants assistant coaching
Speaker 3: job this week, not because of failed defensive play, although
Speaker 3: the Giants weren't great defensively, not because of anemic pass rush.
Speaker 1: Although they weren't great in that department.
Speaker 3: Instead because the chartered airl line that they used in
Speaker 3: the NFL. They have different companies that use to charter flights.
Speaker 3: They made a change to the NFL's cast system.
Speaker 1: They changed mid season.
Speaker 3: And b Cox reacted like a man who had lived
Speaker 3: his entire football life demanding the queen of soul hum
Speaker 3: rispect right that whole Aretha Franklin song back in the day.
Speaker 3: So this story resonated with me. The reason I'm bringing
Speaker 3: it up and talking to you about this on the podcast.
Speaker 3: The thing that resonated with me is because it's not
Speaker 3: really about a seat. It's about an ego, the hierarchy, loyalty,
Speaker 3: and the unspoken rules of football democracy. It's about how
Speaker 3: billion dollar operations operate like middle school cafeterias, and there's
Speaker 3: clicks and all that, and selfishly the full disclosure I know,
Speaker 3: alf is like, I know why you're talking about this.
Speaker 1: Fer dog might not. However, in the olden.
Speaker 3: Days, Beat Cox and I we go back. We have
Speaker 3: a past, not a great past, not a great past.
Speaker 1: But selfishly it's about Brian Cox, someone I actually knew.
Speaker 3: I don't know him now I have his phone number
Speaker 3: if he has the same number he had twenty years ago.
Speaker 3: But it always adds a little extra spice to the gumbo.
Speaker 3: It always has a little ekra spice. And as I've
Speaker 3: gotten older in life and i've my life has taken
Speaker 3: me around a number of people. Some of them have
Speaker 3: gone on and been very famous. Some of them used
Speaker 3: to be famous and are no longer famous.
Speaker 1: And it's just very.
Speaker 3: Odd when you see these stories and it's someone that
Speaker 3: you crossed path with in life. And that's one of
Speaker 3: these examples. Like Brian Cox is a Fox Sports Radio alumnus.
Speaker 3: Long before podcast microphones sprouted up like weeds. Brian Cox
Speaker 3: co hosted a show with Chris Myers on the early
Speaker 3: editions of Fox Sports Radio, not the very beginning, but
Speaker 3: shortly after the network started. This goes back to around
Speaker 3: the year two thousand and two, two thousand and three,
Speaker 3: somewhere in that area.
Speaker 1: I forget.
Speaker 3: He wasn't there long, Brian Cox, but it was maybe
Speaker 3: even five. He had been doing some stuff with the
Speaker 3: Best damn Sports Show period, so he was paired with
Speaker 3: Chris Myers.
Speaker 1: I kin because I care the great Chris Myers.
Speaker 3: And when Chris was off on NFL assignments or NASCAR
Speaker 3: or the other television jobs that he had at the time,
Speaker 3: I would fill in. And that meant hours, hours in
Speaker 3: the radio bunker, the trenches with Brian Cox, a man who,
Speaker 3: let's just say, approached life, football and talk radio with
Speaker 3: the seriousness of a fourth and goal to win the
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. And let me say this, I'm gonna say
Speaker 3: it delicately. In the long, storied history of Fox Sports Radio,
Speaker 3: Brian Cox is one of a very small handful of
Speaker 3: people I simply did not vibe with.
Speaker 1: I just didn't.
Speaker 3: It's not a long list. There are people that I
Speaker 3: didn't like working with, but I liked as people. There
Speaker 3: are people that didn't like me in the style that
Speaker 3: I do, but we got along off the radio. My sarcastic, cynical,
Speaker 3: side eye eye rolling worldview paired with Brian Cox, who
Speaker 3: was from East Saint Louis, Missouri, the baddest part of town,
Speaker 3: no nonsense. I mentioned the respect and all that, and
Speaker 3: that was a respect above all, that was the ethos,
Speaker 3: and that went together Me and him went together like
Speaker 3: pineapple and mayonnaise, technically or edible. Both technically or edible,
Speaker 3: both deeply upsetting When combined together. The teamwork does not
Speaker 3: make the dream work. If the teamwork is not great,
Speaker 3: it was combustible or nonexistent or both. And Brian Cox
Speaker 3: is a respect guys, we've said capital are that's the currency,
Speaker 3: that's the oxygen. Respect is not optional. Not that I
Speaker 3: didn't respect him. I just had an interesting way of
Speaker 3: saying it. And when you've had the career that he
Speaker 3: had had at that time, he was only a little
Speaker 3: bit removed from his playing days in the NFL. It's
Speaker 3: been twelve years with the Dolphins and the Bears and
Speaker 3: the Jets, Patriots and Saints and bled for multiple franchises.
Speaker 3: You don't take kindly to being told you're now sitting
Speaker 3: in steerage with the luggage in the back of the plane.
Speaker 3: And so the Giants moved the assistant coaches to the
Speaker 3: back of the plane because I guess they decided they
Speaker 3: wanted to change it up during the bye week. And
Speaker 3: that's it. That's the spark. The seating chart adjustment, an
Speaker 3: organizational shrug, a silent memo that said, you know you
Speaker 3: are a little less important today than you were the
Speaker 3: last time we went on a plane. Well, I don't
Speaker 3: understand why. So Brian Cox reacted apparently poorly. I wasn't there,
Speaker 3: and in my head I'm like, well, of course he did.
Speaker 3: This is a man who once gave a now iconic,
Speaker 3: if you're old enough to remember, iconic double bird salute
Speaker 3: to Bill's fans years ago as he was running out
Speaker 3: of the tunnel. That was before Bill's Mafia became a brand. Instead,
Speaker 3: it was a snow covered mob back in those days.
Speaker 3: And this is a man who once gave me an unsolicited,
Speaker 3: very vivid, borderline medical conference level description of sports hernia's
Speaker 3: surgery that I still remember, against my will. There was
Speaker 3: a player that had gotten a sports hernia and we
Speaker 3: were debating on the show will this person be able
Speaker 3: to come back and play in the NFL? And I said, well,
Speaker 3: the sports hernia is not that bad, and Brian Cox
Speaker 3: is like, oh, yeah, you want to bet And then
Speaker 3: he went through the whole thing and gave me the
Speaker 3: whole run down. And so Brian Cox, he does not
Speaker 3: bottle things up. He detonates and the giants now they're
Speaker 3: saying it was about behavior that teams, generally speaking, always
Speaker 3: say it's about behavior. Behavior is the NFL's all purpose
Speaker 3: disinfected wipe very important. You gotta have that all purpose
Speaker 3: disinfected wipe. And let's not kidd ourselves. This smells like
Speaker 3: a convenient excommunication. Cox was a loyalist to Brian Dayball,
Speaker 3: the rotund former coach of the Giants, and so Brian
Speaker 3: Dable had already been shown the door.
Speaker 1: And I do know from my life experience, when regime
Speaker 1: regimes change, whether it's a football team, a radio station,
Speaker 1: or whatever it might be, when regimes change, loyalty becomes radioactive.
Speaker 1: Like everyone wants.
Speaker 3: Loyal people until the new coach comes in and you're
Speaker 3: loyal to the old coach.
Speaker 1: Everyone knows this.
Speaker 3: And football organizations they preach about family. It's all about
Speaker 3: the family until the family photo gets updated. Then suddenly
Speaker 3: you're cropped out like an ex spouse.
Speaker 1: And that's just kind of how it goes.
Speaker 3: So Brian Cox proud loud, old school, and.
Speaker 1: He became expendable.
Speaker 3: I got rid of him, and the assignment became the
Speaker 3: paper trail. And that's how the modern football world works.
Speaker 3: Like nobody gets fired for ideology. They get fired for incidents. Incidents, right,
Speaker 3: Nobody gets purged for loyalty. They get purged for conduct
Speaker 3: detrimental to the team or conduct unbecoming. Because the NFL
Speaker 3: is a reality show that's got hr language.
Speaker 1: Because they're big.
Speaker 3: This is not These places start out reasonable, small family businesses,
Speaker 3: and then the corporations get involved and we're off to
Speaker 3: the races.
Speaker 1: We know that to be be true.
Speaker 3: And what struck me most was not that Brian Cox reacted.
Speaker 3: It was that he couldn't not react based on my
Speaker 3: interactions with him back in the day. This is the
Speaker 3: same league that demands coaches bark, spit, intimidate, and do
Speaker 3: all that Monday through Saturday, and then expect them to
Speaker 3: nod politely when told to move to the back of
Speaker 3: the plane like a middle manager on a budget airline. Hello,
Speaker 3: he blew me off at a hotel near Lax. We
Speaker 3: get the business model. We understand, it's ironclad. The business model.
Speaker 3: It's not worth fighting. Football is the product.
Speaker 1: In theory.
Speaker 3: They sell masculinity like a Cologne commercial. Right, that's it,
Speaker 3: and then it punishes you for actually using it. We
Speaker 3: sell masculinity and it's like cologne, just don't put any
Speaker 3: of this on.
Speaker 1: And here's the uncomfortable truth.
Speaker 3: Also, Brian Cox probably wasn't wrong to feel the D
Speaker 3: word disrespected. He was just wrong in expressing it in
Speaker 3: a language that pretended hierarchy did not exist, based on
Speaker 3: what I've read, while.
Speaker 1: Enforcing it ruthlessly.
Speaker 3: And so the NFL has always been built on these
Speaker 3: silent agreements like who sits where, who speaks when? Who
Speaker 3: gets blamed publicly when the team's not going well, who
Speaker 3: gets blamed quietly? Who do you cover up for once
Speaker 3: you violate the sacred seating chart to fly to some
Speaker 3: jerkwater town. Once you violated the seating chart, you're not
Speaker 3: arguing logistics. You're challenging authority. And that is when the
Speaker 3: hammer comes down. That is when the hammer comes down.
Speaker 1: So you read the teas, I was not surprised at all.
Speaker 3: I was not, not because I know the giants, because
Speaker 3: I know Brian Cock, at least the way he was
Speaker 3: years and years ago.
Speaker 1: That's the guy I know. He's not a vibes guy.
Speaker 1: He's not that.
Speaker 3: He's he's not a role with it guy. That's not
Speaker 3: the guy that I was around as I remember. He's
Speaker 3: not a hey man, it's just a seat guy. That's
Speaker 3: definitely not him. He's a what does that say about
Speaker 3: how you see me? Kind of a guy? And in
Speaker 3: football perception is everything right. You got to show the respect.
Speaker 3: You gotta eat it like a horse. You gotta you
Speaker 3: gotta do it. And the story resonated because it's rather petty,
Speaker 3: it's deeply human. It's a it's a list, a long
Speaker 3: football life reduced to a chair assignment, and for now
Speaker 3: his coaching career is on pause.
Speaker 1: Pause. It's not with a whistle, but with a boarding pass.
Speaker 3: And the other part of this, it was a it's
Speaker 3: a thirty nine minute flight. That's a thirty nine minute
Speaker 3: flying time that takes a while longer to take the
Speaker 3: plane off the ground and put it away, but the
Speaker 3: actual time in the air thirty nine minutes from Foxborough
Speaker 3: to the New York City tri state area. It's also
Speaker 3: a reminder the NFL doesn't chew people up with drama.
Speaker 3: It does it with procedure, right with policy, with the
Speaker 3: seating chart, and when you no longer fit the diagram,
Speaker 3: it's turnout the loss. The parties over just like that,
Speaker 3: and Brian Cox lost a job over a seat.
Speaker 1: Let that settle into your later you know, your little
Speaker 1: brain there.
Speaker 3: But really he lost it over who he's always kind
Speaker 3: of been, at least in my experience with him in
Speaker 3: the NFL. Eventually that's enough and they'll just say we've
Speaker 3: moved on. We've decided to move on. We're not in
Speaker 3: the business with you anymore. That's it. See you later, sucker,
Speaker 3: get out of here. Meanwhile, foody fun, it's time for
Speaker 3: food he fun. I know, I can't sing as good
Speaker 3: as Ohio, and it's a little slow at the end
Speaker 3: of the year, holidays coming up. It seems like a
Speaker 3: lot of these places that sell the fast food are
Speaker 3: waiting until next year to roll out a lot of
Speaker 3: new items. I did see Taco Bell Welcome Back, cheesy
Speaker 3: dipping burritos and steak garlic nacho fries. No, those sound
Speaker 3: pretty good. Those sound pretty good to me. I'm not
Speaker 3: going to be going to Taco Bell, but they sound
Speaker 3: pretty good. Those nacho the steak garlic nacho fries. I
Speaker 3: like steak, I like garlic, I like nachos, I like fries.
Speaker 1: I like it all. I love it all.
Speaker 3: Sam I am a fan favorite. Cheesy dipping burritos and
Speaker 3: steak garlic nacho fries. Nacho fries.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. I gotta try one of those
Speaker 1: if I'm allowed to. Seven to eleven has launched.
Speaker 3: I think we talked about this in the previous episode
Speaker 3: long ago, but they've done it. They've launched Japanese style
Speaker 3: egg salad sandwiches in US stores. And this is the
Speaker 3: viral sandwich that was very popular on social media.
Speaker 1: Out of Japan, and it launched.
Speaker 3: It launched a new Japanese style egg salad sandwich at
Speaker 3: seven to eleven a bunch of their other locations. So
Speaker 3: there is that Dominoes is in the foodie fund. It's
Speaker 3: all about the Dominos, the Dominoes. So Domino's offering three
Speaker 3: free chocolate lava crunch cakes.
Speaker 1: That's a mouthful.
Speaker 3: That's a mouthful with any online order of ten or
Speaker 3: more dollars through the date of December twenty second. So
Speaker 3: it's celebrating its sixty fifth birthday on December ninth. And
Speaker 3: Dominoes that was just a couple of days ago. Dominoes
Speaker 3: offering three free chocolate lava crunch cakes with any online
Speaker 3: or it's always online. It is all they need to
Speaker 3: track you. It must be online. And if it's not.
Speaker 1: Online, you've done something wrong. You've definitely done something wrong.
Speaker 3: So this was this next thing, and it's kind of
Speaker 3: a hybrid between foody fun and just the regular nonsense.
Speaker 3: But we'll take a rip at it, why not, and
Speaker 3: we'll try to sell the soap.
Speaker 1: We do that. That's how it goes.
Speaker 3: So people in Nashville, I think Mike and Nashville sent this.
Speaker 1: I don't. I think it was Mike, but that's a
Speaker 1: generic name. It might have been somebody else. It's an
Speaker 1: m name. I want to go Mike in Nashville.
Speaker 3: And he said, hey, listen people, he wrote it, says Ben,
Speaker 3: I like to show people in my town waited three
Speaker 3: hours in a drive through for in and out Burger
Speaker 3: this week, three hours, three hours, and he wanted to
Speaker 3: get my my reaction to that, well, I didn't see
Speaker 3: this story.
Speaker 1: You sent me a link to a story which I
Speaker 1: I'm looking at here. I don't think this is fake.
Speaker 1: It doesn't look fake to me.
Speaker 3: It looks like a legitimate type of news story that
Speaker 3: this is not doctored in some way. It seems pretty legit.
Speaker 3: This is a guy that's that's been around and and all. Anyway, listen,
Speaker 3: So here's the deal. The person that wrote this has
Speaker 3: been around, so it looks like it's it's new. Some
Speaker 3: of the stuff is AI. So anyway, three hours, let
Speaker 3: that marinate. Three hours. So my thoughts on this, Mic,
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna call you Mike, even if that's not
Speaker 3: your name. You can, you know, you know, write me
Speaker 3: back and yell at me. But you didn't just buy
Speaker 3: a double double right, just buy the ble. You donated
Speaker 3: the most valuable commodity known to mankind. All those people
Speaker 3: online for three hours, three hours, you gave the most
Speaker 3: valuable commodity known to mankind.
Speaker 1: Time. Time is undefeated.
Speaker 3: You can't venmo it, you can't finance it, you can't
Speaker 3: get a refund.
Speaker 1: Once it's gone, it's.
Speaker 3: Gone, gone, gone, gone, kind of like a bad NFL
Speaker 3: head coach after Thanksgiving. Bye, bye, see you later, skater
Speaker 3: osta pasta, all that stuff, all that stuff. So I
Speaker 3: gotta tell you now, when I was younger, I did
Speaker 3: stand online. The most famous one was for a Howard
Speaker 3: Stern book signing where there were all these potheads there
Speaker 3: and I was not. I was always on the straight
Speaker 3: and narrow at that age in particular, and I recall
Speaker 3: we were like, oh, we're just gonna go and we're
Speaker 3: gonna get these the book signed and all this stuff.
Speaker 3: Howard written a book Private Parts, and I remember going
Speaker 3: out there and I was there all night. I waited
Speaker 3: online all night for the King of Radio, Howard Stern.
Speaker 3: And even then, at that age, I was like, what
Speaker 3: am I doing? And as I've gotten older, I've gotten
Speaker 3: less and less motivated to wait online. I just have
Speaker 3: no interest in waiting online. So I mean the fact
Speaker 3: that these people went out there.
Speaker 1: You didn't just.
Speaker 3: Buy a double double. You donated Again, the most valuable
Speaker 3: thing that you have time is unstoppable. Standing in that
Speaker 3: line is like it was like waiting. It must have
Speaker 3: been like waiting for Space Mountain, except instead of Mickey Mouse,
Speaker 3: you're gonna get a double double wrapped in paper and regret.
Speaker 1: It's Disney World for cheeseburgers.
Speaker 3: Plus plus you gotta have the animal style fries as well,
Speaker 3: minus the rides.
Speaker 1: I would assume no indigestion. Who knows.
Speaker 3: And this is peak America, Peak America America. We complain
Speaker 3: we're busy, all right, can plain We're busy glued to
Speaker 3: our phones racing the clock. I'm always racing the clock
Speaker 3: every day. I do the show. It is a race.
Speaker 1: It's a race.
Speaker 3: Against time, and you're just trying to put the thing
Speaker 3: together as fast as you can. But then while you're
Speaker 3: putting the show together, it'll take you in behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: So you're trying to put the show together. Fine, but
Speaker 1: then also there's things going on. So I'll plan stuff
Speaker 1: out a lot of.
Speaker 3: Times it'll like I can't do that because something else
Speaker 3: changed in the story. Once you peak behind the curtain,
Speaker 3: there's just not much else for you do, and that's it,
Speaker 3: and that's it.
Speaker 1: And so that's where we are on this.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is again, people wait three hours online
Speaker 3: in Nashville. This is peak Americana, peak Americana with everything
Speaker 3: that goes on, and just to happily idle your engine
Speaker 3: for three hours. Like you know, back in the day,
Speaker 3: my parents still be ailt waiting for gas during I
Speaker 3: guess I think Nixon was president that administration. So the
Speaker 3: burger's good. We like in and out burger. It's not
Speaker 3: rescue a hostage good. It's not miss your kid's birthday
Speaker 3: party good. It's not that good. You could have watched
Speaker 3: a movie trilogy. You think the things you could have done,
Speaker 3: those of you that waited online for three hours. In Nashville,
Speaker 3: you could have watched a movie trilogy. You could have
Speaker 3: learned conversational Italian from a Rosetta stone, or listened to
Speaker 3: three Malar monologues over and over and over again. One
Speaker 3: it's pick an hour, and just over and over and
Speaker 3: over and over and over.
Speaker 1: That's the malor math.
Speaker 3: The juice, as we like to say, isn't worth the squeeze,
Speaker 3: eat the burger, don't let the burger eat you.
Speaker 1: And that line.
Speaker 3: Was wasn't about fast food. People of Nashville didn't just
Speaker 3: fall in love with in and out Burger.
Speaker 1: People doing it.
Speaker 3: From what I hear boots on the ground there, Mike,
Speaker 3: people were doing it for the TikTok, for the Grams.
Speaker 3: So some of those guys that played in Boston are like, hey,
Speaker 3: look at us. Now we can get tattoos and we
Speaker 3: can grow a beard, and we're not playing for the
Speaker 3: Yankees anymore.
Speaker 1: This, that and the other thing.
Speaker 3: Now, the real secret sauce, the real secret sauce. You
Speaker 3: know what it is, Okay, you do, Okay. The real
Speaker 3: secret sauce is fomo. Yeah, and people eat that up.
Speaker 3: They love the fomo. They don't want to miss anything,
Speaker 3: but fomo is the way to go. I'm a big
Speaker 3: fomo guy. Love the fomo. What's new in the world
Speaker 3: of nonsense? Well, this podcast is there. It's also by
Speaker 3: the way, gingerbread House dass I failed to mention that
Speaker 3: at the beginning Today's gingerbread House Desk she got to
Speaker 3: get it done a couple weeks before. Did gingerbread houses
Speaker 3: last that long? I've made one. I don't remember what
Speaker 3: happened to it. I don't remember what happened to it.
Speaker 3: It is National Lost and founday today. Well that sounds
Speaker 3: like fun. Doesn't that sound like fun?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Did you know fun? Fact?
Speaker 3: The first lost and Found there was a there was
Speaker 3: a code to trace lost property.
Speaker 1: It was written in Japan in.
Speaker 3: Seven eighteen, not seventeen eighteen, seven eighteen. Then in the
Speaker 3: eighteen hundreds there was a system in Peri. Remember they
Speaker 3: didn't have the internet in that time. So in Peri,
Speaker 3: the leader Napoleon established the first office of Lost and
Speaker 3: Found items in Peri. In Paris, so another layer of bureaucracy. Now,
Speaker 3: at the time Napoleon didn't know that the Japanese had
Speaker 3: come up with this prior. Then in eighteen ninety three,
Speaker 3: the Return of the Order. Paris's municipal police. They came
Speaker 3: up with tracking down the owners of the collection, the
Speaker 3: lost items, all that stuff, all that stuff. So there
Speaker 3: it is National Lost and Founday. So that along with
Speaker 3: Gingerbread Day, please celebrate appropriately safe and saying we don't
Speaker 3: want you getting hurt. We definitely don't want that. It's
Speaker 3: National Dingaling Day. Now that's a word. The dingal ing
Speaker 3: thing is a fun word that I really should use more.
Speaker 3: As I have gotten through the Overnight Show, especially recently,
Speaker 3: I've really into the words do hickey thingam a jig
Speaker 3: and what you might call it? Like, those are kind
Speaker 3: of cool words. I like saying them. They're fun words,
Speaker 3: so I kind of go with it. But National Day
Speaker 3: ding a Ling Day is just a wonderful piece of
Speaker 3: American culture that nobody knows about because one of these fake,
Speaker 3: fugazy holidays.
Speaker 1: But it's like a two tier holiday where you.
Speaker 3: Preferably by phone, you touch base, you know, you do
Speaker 3: the old ding a Ling. National Dingaling Day always takes
Speaker 3: place on December twelfth. You can think of it as
Speaker 3: a second Halloween. Well doesn't that sound exciting? A second Halloween?
Speaker 3: How great is that?
Speaker 1: So no, apparently, no work.
Speaker 3: You're good in that department. All right, we'll get out
Speaker 3: on that note. Have a great Friday. I'm gonna go
Speaker 3: catch some shut eye here and put the baby to bed,
Speaker 3: or put my baby ass to bed, and we'll be
Speaker 3: back up later today to have a great Friday, and
Speaker 3: then we've got new episodes. Hopefully Danny will be able
Speaker 3: to join us at some point on Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 1: And that's about it.
Speaker 3: Have a wonder full rest of your Friday and.
Speaker 1: Later, skater or is it? No?
