Speaker 1: Kabooms.
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: It's a clearinghouse of hot takes. Break free for something special.

Speaker 5: taken the first new freaking.
Speaker 1: Games of the World Series.

Speaker 5: The math on that Danny is not in favor of
Speaker 5: the New York Yankees at all.

Speaker 5: since this is our last fifth hour podcast before Halloween,
Speaker 5: and we're probably too old for Halloween at this point, Danny,
Speaker 5: we're you know, boring guys, unless we're not. But I thought,

Speaker 5: be different. I came across the ten most popular Halloween
Speaker 5: candies in the United States. Now I have the list
Speaker 5: in front of me. Okay, I have the list. You
Speaker 5: do not have the list, Danny. You do not have

Speaker 5: shock you. Number six. I like this candy, but not

Speaker 5: mean they really put the chemicals in those things. No,
Speaker 5: Tomali's were harmed to make hot Tomali's. Number seven I

Speaker 1: People hate number seven. I don't like number seven.
Speaker 4: Candy corn in a small dose, I'm okay with those.
Speaker 1: It's like the you know what candy corn is.
Speaker 5: It's the Halloween version of those marshmallow Easter things. You
Speaker 5: know what I'm talking about. The you know those little
Speaker 5: marshmallow things are rather discussed. Oh the peeps, Yeah, peeps,
Speaker 5: that's it. Yeah, Hershey's kisses.

Speaker 4: the yellow what is that, mister goodbar are nasty.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: They throw all kinds of crap in there. And number ten.
Speaker 5: Now I like number ten. It's a controversial number ten,
Speaker 5: but it's one of my go to Halloween candies when
Speaker 5: I was a kid.
Speaker 1: Butterfinger.
Speaker 4: Oh, I like Butterfinger too. Those are another good one
Speaker 4: out of the freezer.
Speaker 1: Butterfinger, although sometimes get a little too hard.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got to leave them in the freezer, just
Speaker 4: for maybe fifteen minutes.
Speaker 5: They get a little too hard. And that sounded a
Speaker 5: dirty and what she said, Yeah, Butterfinger and Baby Ruth.
Speaker 5: I love that combination. My mom right up until the
Speaker 5: you know, last year she was alive and she got sick.
Speaker 5: But every halloweens would buy me a bag of Butterfinger
Speaker 5: and a bag of Baby Ruth. And I wondered why
Speaker 5: I got fat, But my mom loved me, wanted me
Speaker 5: to have Butterfinger and Baby Ruth. And she knew that
Speaker 5: when I was a little kid, I loved Butterfinger and
Speaker 5: Baby Ruth, and so she always would buy me those
Speaker 5: all the way. Some of the other Finis chocolate the
Speaker 5: most popular candy in the US more ms that was
Speaker 5: the number one candy in nine states, including Oregon, Vermont,
Speaker 5: and Washington. So big to do there for em and M's.
Speaker 5: They were the king of the castle.
Speaker 1: But enough of that, Danny. We have you know, we have,
Speaker 1: We have actual letters from actual listening time for Ohio.
Speaker 4: Al. It's this bag.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 5: Al.
Speaker 1: It is the mail bag on this Sunday.
Speaker 5: The final Sunday in the month of October will be
Speaker 5: in November. You believe that insane? It is just zooming by.
Speaker 5: But these are actual messages. If you'd like to send
Speaker 5: a message, Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com or
Speaker 5: the Facebook page. But I really haven't used the Facebook
Speaker 5: page for this podcast in a while because we have
Speaker 5: enough of an audience now where I don't have to
Speaker 5: beg people to send questions in so.
Speaker 1: Which is great.
Speaker 5: But if you need me to remind you, I will
Speaker 5: occasionally post on Facebook, but mainly Real fifth Hour at
Speaker 5: gmail dot com. First one up is from Mac in
Speaker 5: Ohio or Ohio Mac.
Speaker 1: Isn't that the name of the conference? The MAC Conference? Anyway?
Speaker 5: Ohio Max says, hey, Ben and Danny. I love soup,
Speaker 5: I drink all I have all kinds of soup. But
Speaker 5: I had a question for you guys. At what point
Speaker 5: does soup become a sauce? And vice versa, at what
Speaker 5: point does a sauce become a soup?
Speaker 1: Keep up with your work. That's Mac somewhere in Ohio.
Speaker 5: He didn't how come he didn't say, Danny, Ohio is
Speaker 5: kind of a big state. He didn't say Cincinnati. He
Speaker 5: didn't say Columbus. He didn't say Cleveland, he didn't say
Speaker 5: some small town. He just said Ohio. I'm confused by
Speaker 5: that because don't most people say the city.
Speaker 1: But either way, this is a great question.
Speaker 5: Like all the sauces in the world, some of them
Speaker 5: are interchangeable where they could become a soup. You could
Speaker 5: have a barbecue sauce soup, couldn't you.
Speaker 4: I guess like I think of cream of chicken, for instance,
Speaker 4: And my mom used that as the base for a
Speaker 4: lot of dishes.
Speaker 5: She made, Well, how about like tomato tomato sauce, But
Speaker 5: there's tomato biss soup.
Speaker 4: How about Okay, all right, that's a good example.
Speaker 1: Right now.
Speaker 4: I oh, he's saying when it gets so thin that
Speaker 4: it then becomes or is it when it becomes so
Speaker 4: thick that it becomes a sauce?
Speaker 5: Question is at what point does something go from a
Speaker 5: soup to a sauce and vice versas, so from a
Speaker 5: sauce to a and I think you're what you're on too?
Speaker 5: Is I think you nailed it. A soup is a
Speaker 5: thicker dish and a sauce is a thinner dish.
Speaker 1: So that's it.
Speaker 5: However, there are exceptions the rule, like chicken soup is
Speaker 5: just liquid, but but it usually has chicken or they'll
Speaker 5: obviously chicken soup, they'll have chicken parts in there.
Speaker 1: Or I like Maza ball soup. The star of the
Speaker 1: show's the matza.
Speaker 4: That's right. It's hardy, but it has a broth which
Speaker 4: is just like water.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and and Mac, you might want to get out
Speaker 5: and you know, see the sun.
Speaker 1: I know you're in Ohio. You probably won't see the sun.
Speaker 4: What is your What is your favorite soup? Ben if
Speaker 4: you had to go to.
Speaker 5: So, my favorite soup is French onion soup. That is
Speaker 5: the king of all soups. I love French onion soup
Speaker 5: with the cheese wrapped around the bowl. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 5: have not had a lot of good French onion in La.
Speaker 5: If anybody listening in La knows a great French onion place,
Speaker 5: I had been told. I think we told this story
Speaker 5: on the podcast that the great restaurant in Burbank that
Speaker 5: I go to for the for the cheesebread, the Smokehouse.
Speaker 5: I was told they have pretty good French onion soup.
Speaker 5: Must have been having a bad day when I went
Speaker 5: there wasn't very good. It wasn't as as I My
Speaker 5: favorite place is in New York. When I visit my
Speaker 5: brother in the city. There there's a really really good
Speaker 5: French dip place in Manhattan. I haven't really found a
Speaker 5: great one out here, but that's my my go to.
Speaker 5: And then I love Mozza ball soup. You know that's
Speaker 5: Jewish penicillin growing up, so from my childhood. And the
Speaker 5: top in La I would say the top one is
Speaker 5: a Canter's Deli over on Fairfax. That is the top one.
Speaker 5: What about you, Danny.
Speaker 4: Something about creamy tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich
Speaker 4: on a cold winter day. Dummy love dipping that grilled
Speaker 4: cheese sandwich into tomato soup. But I don't like chunks
Speaker 4: of tomato in there.
Speaker 1: All right, there you go.
Speaker 5: Well, thank you Mac. You just filled five minutes of
Speaker 5: time on the podcast.
Speaker 4: And made us very hungry.
Speaker 5: I have not had tomato bit like my wife would make.
Speaker 5: She loves making grilled cheese, so sometimes she would make
Speaker 5: grilled cheese and then like a little tomato.
Speaker 4: Oh she makes great grilled cheese. She did that for
Speaker 4: one of your ugly sweater parties.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, the double sided grilled cheese is so good, Mike.
Speaker 5: In the city Tommy Lasorda lived in for over fifty years.
Speaker 5: Bullets it right, Sinny says, Hello, Ben and Dodger. G
Speaker 5: You know a fun fact, Danny. I know you don't
Speaker 5: normally go this way, but if you drive up I
Speaker 5: five from central Orange County and you drive past Disneyland
Speaker 5: on your way to la there is a stretch of highway.
Speaker 5: I think we talked about this, but not everyone hears
Speaker 5: every show dedicated to Tommy Lasorta and in memory of
Speaker 5: the great Tommy Disorta, and it's that section that goes
Speaker 5: through Fulloton anyway. Mike says, I've been a couple of
Speaker 5: I've been on a couple of cruises.
Speaker 1: In my life.
Speaker 5: So I think I can help Danny g with his
Speaker 5: claustrophobia problem. It's the least I can do after the
Speaker 5: latest collapse of his raiders.
Speaker 4: Yeah, how are your chargers doing there, buddy.
Speaker 1: He says.
Speaker 5: You know, you know how when you look through the
Speaker 5: wrong end of a telescope or binoculars, everything seems much
Speaker 5: further away.
Speaker 1: Just tape a pair of binoculars to your face.
Speaker 5: Whenever you're in your room, you know, like you're staying
Speaker 5: in a penthouse suite. Now, if that doesn't work, try
Speaker 5: sleeping with the door open.
Speaker 1: Sign Mike.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, thank you for that, Mike. Any cruise update, Danny,
Speaker 5: any more news? I sent you a story about a
Speaker 5: cruise ship the other.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, thank you for that wonderful story that you shared.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I'm here. I'm here to help.
Speaker 4: And yeah, what was it about disease all over a ship?
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, the mass infestation on a cruise ship and
Speaker 5: how everyone was getting sick and.
Speaker 1: There were roaches everywhere.
Speaker 4: It was just it was just disgusting, super super excited
Speaker 4: for the prospect of this cruise. Now, after that story
Speaker 4: he sent me, we're in the fourth quarter of deciding.
Speaker 4: We're not sure yet, but still weighing options. And this
Speaker 4: will be the big Christmas cruise. If you do do it,
Speaker 4: you'll be gone Christmas. It would be yeah, And we
Speaker 4: have to decide here in the next few days.
Speaker 5: All right, Very good, Steve writes, and he says, Ben,
Speaker 5: do you feel bad as a Ram fan that your
Speaker 5: team was given a game that was rigged by the
Speaker 5: officials back on Thursday?
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous.
Speaker 5: I'm a Viking fan and I have not seen a
Speaker 5: car call that bad in years, So I don't I
Speaker 5: don't get I don't know if you saw the.
Speaker 4: Game, Danny, but did they still would have had to
Speaker 4: drive the length of the field.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they had it.
Speaker 5: It was second down and tend to go from their
Speaker 5: own five yard line. There was less than two minutes
Speaker 5: to go in the game. They had no timeouts. The
Speaker 5: Vikings and Sam Donald after the first quarter. It was
Speaker 5: the Jets version of Sam Donald. How was that rigged?
Speaker 5: That was a bad call. I'm not here. I'm gonna
Speaker 5: sit here and tell you that they got it right.
Speaker 1: They didn't get it right.
Speaker 5: There was obviously a face mask call in the end
Speaker 5: zone on Sam Donald. It wasn't rigged a rigged, a
Speaker 5: rigged situation would not have been that. So stop, you're
Speaker 5: all losers. Just eat the l The Vikings are coming
Speaker 5: back to Earth. They lost two games in the span
Speaker 5: of what five days, lost to the Lions, and now
Speaker 5: they lose here. So you know, that's the way it works, right.
Speaker 4: The more impressive win was, even after all those turnovers
Speaker 4: from Minshew, somehow the Rams were keeping the Raiders in
Speaker 4: that game. Raiders could have drove down the field there
Speaker 4: at the end and one if they had a quarterback
Speaker 4: or an O line that was functioning. Instead, your Rams
Speaker 4: defense was chasing Gardner Minshew in the wrong direction.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they really don't have much of a defense the Rams.
Speaker 4: It's you know, it's.
Speaker 5: Like you hope, it's kind of like baseball, throw it
Speaker 5: down the middle and hope the other team gets themselves out.
Speaker 1: That's the Rams defense.
Speaker 5: Just kind of stand there and hopefully the passes will
Speaker 5: be incomplete and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: But one thing I am happy about.
Speaker 5: And you know say, right now, even though the Raiders
Speaker 5: season has gone to hell and they've lost by my count,
Speaker 5: three games that they should have could have would have
Speaker 5: won if.
Speaker 1: They had, you know, played a little better.
Speaker 5: And I don't think they're that worse than the teams
Speaker 5: they played, the Broncos, the Steelers, and the Rams. At least, Danny,
Speaker 5: the game you went to, they won, So there is that, right,
Speaker 5: I know, in the greatest game in the world.
Speaker 1: But at least they won.
Speaker 5: You saw them win a game, and I don't know
Speaker 5: when they're going to win another game. I mean, my god,
Speaker 5: you got the Chiefs and then you go to.
Speaker 4: The Wait wait, wait, are you telling me they're not
Speaker 4: going to upset the Chiefs today.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Danny, who.
Speaker 4: Was the last team to beat the Kansas City Chiefs?
Speaker 5: Right, lightning does not normally strike in the same time.
Speaker 4: Eight and O'Connell was the last quarterback to beat the
Speaker 4: great Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1: And if you remember, he was a decoy remember that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he didn't do anything after the first quarter. It
Speaker 4: was the Raiders defense.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And which is amazing because the Raiders look like
Speaker 5: their defense plays well for a half and then I
Speaker 5: guess they get tired and they need orange slices or
Speaker 5: something like that.
Speaker 4: It is so weird and inconsistent.
Speaker 5: There is no such thing as halftime adjustments. But whatever
Speaker 5: they're doing at halftime, they might want to stop because
Speaker 5: whatever they're.
Speaker 1: Doing is not working. I'm as I said, it's not
Speaker 1: going so well for them, all right? What is next?
Speaker 1: On the mailbag?
Speaker 5: Alf from Spirit Halloween writes in he says, gentlemen, do
Speaker 5: you guys still hand out candy on Halloween? If so,
Speaker 5: what would you do if two adult men rang your
Speaker 5: doorbell and they were dressed as Beloved nineteen eighties alien
Speaker 5: sitcom star and I Beloved a nineteen eighties alien sitcom
Speaker 5: star and Fergcat? Well, I would call the cops as
Speaker 5: what I would do, because there's major stokers.
Speaker 1: That's a big time stocker thing.
Speaker 5: He said, Would you invite them in and show them
Speaker 5: how the hot dogs are made? Or would you send
Speaker 5: them back to Fullerton and parts of unknown? Parts of
Speaker 5: the unknown?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I mean, I love you guys, You're great, but I
Speaker 5: think we should stay at a safe distance. And Plus,
Speaker 5: listen berg Cat or Ferg Dog or whatever he is.
Speaker 1: Fergie.
Speaker 5: I know he's roommates with Brian Finley, which is odd.
Speaker 5: Even though Finley got married, he's still roommates with him.
Speaker 5: So I can't interfere with that relationship.
Speaker 1: That would be wrong. So I can't do that.
Speaker 4: All.
Speaker 1: What's your playing, Danny. You're gonna be like everyone else.
Speaker 5: You're gonna go to Costco or Walmart and buy a
Speaker 5: five pound bag of candy. You will then have maybe
Speaker 5: five or six kids come by the house for candy
Speaker 5: and then be stuck with four and a half pounds
Speaker 5: of candy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then wind up eating the remaining candy. No,
Speaker 4: never do that, because you will stuff your own face
Speaker 4: with it. Instead, we continue up the hill here where
Speaker 4: we live, and we go into the wealthy, wealthy neighborhood
Speaker 4: where there's all these move V and TV directors and
Speaker 4: actors and famous people with big mansions, and we knock
Speaker 4: on their doors to get at least six dollars candy
Speaker 4: bars from them.
Speaker 5: Solid solid? Do they give the full sized candy bars out?
Speaker 2: All?
Speaker 4: They do? And we stand like loving parents on the
Speaker 4: sidewalk while our little decoys aka children go up to
Speaker 4: the door and get the candy bars.
Speaker 5: I think I remember you telling the story about this
Speaker 5: in previous Halloween shows that we've done. Now, the next
Speaker 5: level would be to have multiple costumes so the kids
Speaker 5: can go back and bring the doorbell a second time.
Speaker 4: Like I said, if you buy your own candy and
Speaker 4: you wind up eating it. That's bad. Free candy, free
Speaker 4: ninety nine. There's no salaries and free candy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly. And it's better for you your health. You don't,
Speaker 5: as you said, you don't gain weight, there's no calories.
Speaker 1: It's just just perfect, just absolutely perfect.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: I actually had a line.
Speaker 5: If you saw the TV show this weekend, I said,
Speaker 5: the way I'm picking games this season, it's like I'm
Speaker 5: the kid on Halloween that's going door to door and
Speaker 5: I'm getting I'm getting the carrots, I'm getting the app
Speaker 5: you know, and I want I need a peanut butter cup,
Speaker 5: and I'm getting this crap, and I'm like, it's not right.
Speaker 5: Martin writes in from Griddle Tree, Maryland. You ever heard
Speaker 5: of Griddle Tree, Maryland? Now let's look it up. I
Speaker 5: love looking up random places that I don't know.
Speaker 1: He made this up. No, it's a real place.
Speaker 5: See it's in in Boston. They would say Worcester WOOSTERA.
Speaker 5: But it might be Worcester County in Maryland.
Speaker 1: Popular. How about this population of one hundred and forty nine.
Speaker 4: I have that many people in my apartment complex.
Speaker 5: So we have one of one hundred and forty nine
Speaker 5: people listening in. It is part of the Salisbury, Maryland,
Speaker 5: Delaware Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Speaker 1: Wow, that is wild.
Speaker 5: Oh how about this twenty twenty the population one hundred
Speaker 5: and forty one, So we have one of one hundred
Speaker 5: and forty one Martin.
Speaker 1: How lucky are we?
Speaker 4: Anyway?
Speaker 5: Martin says, I've tried the chicken Big Mac and I
Speaker 5: liked it.
Speaker 1: I don't see why people would say it's terrible.
Speaker 5: It has pickles on it like Chick fil A and
Speaker 5: the Big Max sauce has some pickle in it. The
Speaker 5: lettuce is different on a chicken sandwich, but it's like
Speaker 5: eating two chicken sandwiches smashed together. They should call it
Speaker 5: the Big Ben Chicken finger sandwich.
Speaker 1: All right, I want my chicken.
Speaker 4: The problem with McDonald's is their fried chicken patty. It's
Speaker 4: over fried. It's kind of like a hockey puck. If
Speaker 4: it was tender and you could actually like break it
Speaker 4: in half with your fingers, it would be good. But
Speaker 4: it's the oil the way they fr it. I don't
Speaker 4: know what the problem is.
Speaker 1: It's not up to the Chick fil a standards. Danny,
Speaker 1: is that what you're saying?
Speaker 4: Yeah? It is not.
Speaker 5: Yeah, anyway, Martin, thank you for listening and write us
Speaker 5: back Martin and let us know what you do in
Speaker 5: Griddle Tree, Maryland with a population of one hundred and
Speaker 5: forty other neighbors.
Speaker 1: Wow, there are forty eight households.
Speaker 4: If it was me, I would do landscaping and get
Speaker 4: every single resident on my client list. Man. That is
Speaker 4: whatever little business you wanted to start, Ben, you could
Speaker 4: totally have a monopoly.
Speaker 5: I guess, so you'd be the mayor of the town.
Speaker 5: There's only forty eight, forty eight houses in the whole place,
Speaker 5: thirty two families residing there, forty eight households.
Speaker 1: Wow, craziness. Next up on the mail bag, Yeah, we
Speaker 1: have what you know. We're late on time. Let's do
Speaker 1: this one. We'll get out on this. Masshole Mickey from
Speaker 1: the Commonwealth mass Hole.
Speaker 5: Says, I have a two for First of all, I
Speaker 5: just finished listening to the fifth Hour Friday podcast. You
Speaker 5: mentioned any ideas or feedback for Benny versus the Penny.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure about the logistics of the contract or
Speaker 5: what you can or can't do. Maybe it's late because
Speaker 5: you already are on week seven. Now week eight. What
Speaker 5: about Benny's best bet where you picked two games to
Speaker 5: parlay and wager on. If it's too late to start
Speaker 5: almost mid season, possibly introduce it for the playoff edition
Speaker 5: of BBP.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've talked about.
Speaker 5: That in production meetings, mass Ole Mickey. But the whole
Speaker 5: point of it is that I handicap every game. It's
Speaker 5: a season long battle, and I'm not doing very well
Speaker 5: right now. But there's a lot of games left and
Speaker 5: at some point the tide will turn. And it's not
Speaker 5: about individual games. It's about the sum of the parts, right,
Speaker 5: is more important than the individual He also says, has
Speaker 5: Danny g or yourself ever driven across country coast to coast?
Speaker 5: He says, I've been lucky to do this four times,
Speaker 5: all different ways, through the Midwest during the summertime, the South,
Speaker 5: through Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico. I highly suggest doing it
Speaker 5: at least once. It is so cool to see the
Speaker 5: landscape change throughout the country. No, I would love to
Speaker 5: do it, Masshole Mickey. I have always had I've been lucky.
Speaker 5: I'm blessed and cursed. I've always had radio jobs. I've
Speaker 5: talked about the fact you can't leave these jobs for
Speaker 5: the amount of time it would take to drive across
Speaker 5: the country, and I'd rather have a job than be
Speaker 5: able to drive across the country. At some point, I
Speaker 5: would like to do that. My brother, my older brother Joe,
Speaker 5: always done that.
Speaker 1: My younger brother Mike has done that, but I have not.
Speaker 1: I've not been.
Speaker 5: Able to do that. I really would love to do it.
Speaker 5: I love checking out offbeat places in the middle of nowhere,
Speaker 5: and what I try to do since I can't drive
Speaker 5: across the country, Danny, when I go, like I go
Speaker 5: to Boston. I've been lucky to go there the last
Speaker 5: couple of years ago the TV show. But I'll just
Speaker 5: like drive to Maine, or I'll drive to you know,
Speaker 5: I'll drive to Vermont, or drive to you know, New Hampshire, whatever,
Speaker 5: and check out places I'm not familiar.
Speaker 1: I love that. And when I was in the South.
Speaker 5: In North Carolina, we drove down to South Carolina and
Speaker 5: we're up in Virginia and we just like drove all
Speaker 5: over the place checking out. So I try to do that.
Speaker 5: Have you driven across the country?
Speaker 4: No, And for the same reason, radio does not allow
Speaker 4: you to do that. You know, I would need to
Speaker 4: be unemployed. And if you're unemployed, you're not trying to
Speaker 4: spend money going across the country. I would like to
Speaker 4: do it too someday, but it would have to be
Speaker 4: after broadcasting.
Speaker 5: Yeah, unless we add one of those Elon Musk Internet
Speaker 5: things and we get broadcast from anywhere, you know, one
Speaker 5: of those deals.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean the closest I get right now
Speaker 4: are these graduate hotels remotes that we get to do
Speaker 4: on Covino and Rich Coming up on November first, we're
Speaker 4: going to be in Seattle the day before the Washington
Speaker 4: USC game. And then yeah, and then we're going to
Speaker 4: make good that Hurricane Auburn, which is going to be
Speaker 4: the twenty second of next month.
Speaker 1: Okay, well against Texas.
Speaker 4: A and M and Ben. We're actually going to go
Speaker 4: to the game the following day. It's going to be
Speaker 4: the first one where we actually attend the college game.
Speaker 4: Oh nice, Auburn, Texas A and M.
Speaker 1: See the war Eagle right yeah or Eagle masshole.
Speaker 5: Mickey says, hey, this might be too late, but he says,
Speaker 5: as far as the Chicken, Big Max, save your money,
Speaker 5: the flavor combination doesn't go well, all right, Wekay just
Speaker 5: said it's good, So I guess the lesson here Martin
Speaker 5: from Griddletree, Maryland and mass Ole Mickey.
Speaker 1: Just try it yourself, right, trite yourself.
Speaker 5: Yes, all right, we'll get out on that, Danny. I'll
Speaker 5: be back tonight and I'll be yapping away all night
Speaker 5: long on the radio, starting eleven o'clock in the West
Speaker 5: two am on Monday morning in the East, And as
Speaker 5: far as I know, I'll be there all week unless
Speaker 5: my vocal issues continue and I might have to take
Speaker 5: a night off, but I plan on being there every
Speaker 5: night during the week, And as I said on the
Speaker 5: Friday podcast, I can manage it as long as it's
Speaker 5: just the radio show. But with the TV show, you know,
Speaker 5: I don't have enough time for my voice to rebound
Speaker 5: and all that stuff. So we'll see what happens with that.
Speaker 4: And you're lucky, no stress for you. Your rams already
Speaker 4: played what so Yeah, here's to hoping Max Crosby chases
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes around the field and irritates them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that would be nice. That would be a nice
Speaker 5: little feather in your cap. Although how frustrating.
Speaker 1: Would it be if the Raiders own the Chiefs but
Speaker 1: don't know?
Speaker 4: I would be at what's the word apropos?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that would be that would be appropriate. All right,
Speaker 5: we'll get out, have a wonderful rest of your night
Speaker 5: and day to day and whenever you listen to this
Speaker 5: and enjoy Halloween.
Speaker 1: And I'll be back tonight on the radio later skating.
Speaker 4: Gotta murder, I gotta go
