Now, Danny, you're 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.080 living Lavina Loca, my man. 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.240 Oh, Ben, you should see the hotel suite right now. 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.440 A bunch of hookers and cocaine. 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:17.840 It has been a really good weekend, so far, and 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:21.000 this is gonna be the first major fight I've ever attended. Ben, 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:25.280 I've seen like amateur fights. Never have I seen the 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:30.119 ilk of a Canelo. I'm jealous. I am absolutely jealous. Danny, 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:32.759 Is this like a Scott Parrell? Remember we had Pharrell 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.240 on the podcast and he was laying in a bed 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:35.920 in New. 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:41.440 Jersey covered in money. He claimed he had won. I 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:43.360 was wild, but the. 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:47.120 Only podcast guest you've ever interviewed where he had to 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.720 keep ducking away from the interview to do a line 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.480 and then come right back and answer your question. 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:57.720 Yeah, it was a very interesting conversation with Pharrell. He's 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.440 a guy's a legend for a reason. But you can 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.880 go back and hear that in the archive. Goulcha Man, 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.920 I'd but the fight thing back in the nineties. I 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.560 used to go to fights semi regularly nineties, in the 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.040 early two thousands, and then it all of a sudden 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.600 stopped and I haven't been since. It's probably it's been 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:17.520 over twenty years since I've been to a fight. But 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:21.840 I went to Mike Tyson fights, lenox Lewis who else 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:26.600 trying to That's the Golden boy. Oscar de la Hoya, 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.560 a bunch of bunch of fights, I mean big time 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.560 fighters of that era and had had a great time 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:36.560 and the Tyson fights and the heavyweight fights. It was 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:42.880 insane because Vegas it was pimps and hoes in the 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:47.600 air everywhere. It was such an f and wild scene. 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:53.799 Come on, Pippin'. It was an education, Danny And know 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:55.680 times are different, but I bet you it's the same 0:02:56.400 --> 0:03:00.520 similar situation. If you go around tonight before the fight 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.160 and you just kind of soak in all of the 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.320 this Vegas strip in that area, and I'm sure you're 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.720 gonna see some very interesting cats. 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:13.960 It's crazy to think that's why Supac got after that 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.080 Tyson fight way back in the day. And as you 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:21.960 saw that breaking news yesterday, they finally arrested somebody in 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.640 connection to his death all these years later. 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:29.600 Yeah, well him and Biggie right, he got murdered in La. 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:34.200 They never I don't think they solved that one. Well, 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:38.400 it's been almost a generation, so yeah, you know, we 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.120 don't know how old the person was, but if the 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.240 person was in their thirties at that time, then they're 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:47.360 in their sixties now right or close to it. Maybe 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.240 they were younger, but still I mean, it's a long 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:52.520 and if they were into that kind of thing where 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:54.880 they're shooting people, who knows that they're even around anymore? Right, 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.880 probably not on the Saturday Pot, which would be today's pot. 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.520 I've got the Chicken Shag the third monologue, a new 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.720 feature that I think we've we've we've messed around with 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:07.400 this in the past, I don't think we've actually done 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:11.440 it a full block. We're calling it footy Fun and 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:15.800 we have Pop Goes, the Culture and possibly Backscratcher. So 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:18.080 a lot to get to. We'll start with this The 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:22.279 Life of Malar, the Life of Danny GE's. So I 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:27.200 love to futs around in the kitchen and play around. 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.440 I've been Benny the Baker for a while. I haven't 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.479 done that because I got too fat. I was getting 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.040 fat again eating all the cookies and stuff that I've 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:39.839 been baking. So I shifted over to you know, Pete. 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.400 I did a lot of pizzas you know, some of 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:47.359 my meals this latest weekend, I went with the ripoff 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:52.919 raising canes chicken fingers. And if you follow the show, 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:57.520 follow me on Facebook. Ben Maller's Show. Make sure the 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.200 show's in there. If you follow me, on instag gram, 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.440 Ben Maller on Fox I put out some photos. So 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:10.760 this is my ripoff raising canes recipe from scratch, and 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:15.159 I think it came out pretty good. It's visually, I 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:18.960 think I nailed it. And I have a future, Danny. 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.359 When people realize I'm bad at radio and television, I 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:28.760 can become a food photographer. That's my future. I don't 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.000 know if you saw the photos I did. 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.960 But that that all can be staged. So my question 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:38.320 is when you broke open those chicken fingers, was the 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.960 chicken nice and juicy inside? Oh? 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.800 It was wonderful, No, it was really it was really good. 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.480 I don't want to pat myself on the back too much, 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:50.440 but it was the right crunch you know. Crime We 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:55.320 put pinko in there, and we had corn starch, you know, 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:59.119 every trick flour corn starch. I think we had pink 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.720 If I remember, there's all the stuff that you can 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.440 use to get crap really crunchy. And so that was 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:08.080 pretty good. Cut up the chicken myself there and the 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:12.520 little bits, and the great thing about chicken strips is 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.040 a little chicken goes a long way because most of 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.599 it's just breading and all that, and so of course 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:22.040 people are then busting my balls, right, they're giving me, 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.520 they give me a hard time, and they're like, hey, 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:29.000 wait a minute, here, where's the cane sauce? 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:30.280 Right? 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.200 Where where's the cane sauce? And I'm like, wait a 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:37.840 minute here, I don't need cane sauce. If you make chicken, 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.160 you know, as the guy, the connoisseur Danny of the 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:44.200 chicken Shack, the Mallard chicken shack, if you make the 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.359 chicken properly, you don't need stuff. Now, I'm not against sauce. 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.040 I've not taken an anti sauce position. My only position 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.640 is anti range. I am okay with sauce, and some 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:57.400 of the chicken I did use honey mustard. I think 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.599 honey mustard is great. I could have made rip off 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:04.839 canes dipping sauce. I chose not to. I chose not to. 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.880 Now next time, just to shut up you idiots, maybe 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:12.120 I will. Maybe I will make a ripoff cane sauce. 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:14.440 But anyway, it made a ton of chicken, only, you know, 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:16.920 one small pack of chicken from the grocery store which 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:20.880 doesn't cost that much, and some flour. The ingredients by 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:22.560 the way, I'm not going to do cooking with Roberto 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.440 here and give out the whole recipe. But it's it 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:31.480 was kind of a hybrid of chick not Chicki Popeyes canes. 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:37.560 It involved creating a marinade with butter milk and hot 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:42.120 sauce and kosher salt and eggs, and there was all 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:44.840 kinds of I had occasion seasoning in there to spice 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.360 it up. A little paprika, cayenne, peppa. 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:49.440 Man, you're making me hungry. 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:54.280 Corn starch flour, as I said, and put all that together, 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:59.560 and hey, it came out pretty pretty good. So who 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:01.960 knows what I'll I'll make next. But so, yeah, you 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.840 saw the photos. That's that's it. So we made a 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:08.600 lot of chicken ate eight well, and then I fasted 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.240 for three days this week, Danny. I made it seventy 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:14.680 two hours without eating a bite of food because I 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.560 ate fried chicken over the weekend. So I had to 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.920 go three days to starve myself. Because I'm a loser. 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:25.960 I am such a radio loser. I'm such a loser. 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.120 Maybe I could do a third monologue, Danny, Maybe I 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:29.960 should do a third monologue. What do you think? 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.719 A few nights ago. We passed like two ships. In 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.320 the middle of the night. I was in the production 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:40.480 studio at Fox Sports Radio. You were getting ready to 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.760 start your show. Now. I had been there since one 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:47.920 o'clock in the afternoon. What happened is it was Covino 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:51.920 and Riches one year anniversary doing afternoon Drive. 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:53.840 I love the Covino and rich Show. 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.719 I told my girl, I said, I've been setting this 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:02.360 up for weeks, going through archives and working with Veto 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:06.080 and Ricky and Bob the voice of the network, so 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.600 that I could get all of the audio pieces in 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:13.480 line to put together a huge audio collage of some 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.760 of the greatest and funniest moments that they had on 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.880 the air of the past twelve months, and even prior 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.040 to that, some of the stuff they did on Sunday Night. 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:23.880 To show how it all started. 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.079 Gabriel Davis, like. 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:40.120 You talk about an audio puzzle, fifty audio pieces in 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:45.559 front of me on the Adobe audition computers at the network. 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.080 And the hard part was I had to figure out 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:52.200 how to put this audio puzzle together, put original music 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:56.480 underneath each piece, put drops and bells and whistles, and 0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:00.240 really was exhausting, but in a fun way because as 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.719 you know, Ben, when you get to look back on 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.439 funny moments and drops and things like that, that's what 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:11.280 we live for because we're audio guys. Yeah, until you 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:13.400 sold out and went to the television side. 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.880 Well that's true, and you do the same. 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:18.920 Thing I would. Oh, I definitely would. 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:23.800 So better money, less work, better money. 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:25.600 Yeah, you have to comb your hair and you have 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:27.640 to wash your face, but it's way better money. 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:29.800 I was actually talking to Jonas about this. We're like 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:33.440 anybody that does what we do in radio. Television is 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.640 like the junior varsity in terms of work that you 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.000 have to put Like, radio is so much more difficult 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:42.600 to master. Yes, de vision and people don't understand that, 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:44.600 but it's true, and I'm not just saying that as 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:48.440 a blowhard. Radio is a much more difficult medium. It 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:49.160 just is. 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:55.200 Longer, longer blocks of content to fill. You have to 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:59.880 be able to entertain the masses through just your voice. 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:04.360 You don't have a screen behind you, you don't have graphics, 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:08.520 you don't have teleprompters, you don't have the big support 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.960 staff that you have with television. So you're exactly right. 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:15.560 There's guys that were big stars on TV and then 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:17.880 they tried to do radio and they fell flat on 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:19.000 their faces. 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.560 Yeah, did not go well. Did not go well. And 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.240 but if you go the other way, go from radio 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:26.560 to TV, you're you're in good shape. But I got 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.120 I got carious, so you're you're in there. I was wondering, like, 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.400 what the f is he doing here? Did he get lost? 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:33.920 And then I thought, you know, I was. I had 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.320 to run into the other studio and well, maybe you'll 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.839 come by, and someone was going because I had to, 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:40.440 you know, mo, move over. 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.560 I didn't get to say goodbye because when I left, 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.640 and this was right before I got a text saying 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.240 are you alive for my wife? 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:51.720 You don't like that, you don't want to get that tech. 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.480 I get that text. 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.760 Right before I got that text. You were in the 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:58.840 middle of your third monologue. 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.120 Really you were. You were there for the first three 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:03.560 hours of the show, crazy. 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.160 I really was. It was like old times. I got 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:10.360 to hear you opining on lots of different topics, and 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:13.600 once you started your third monologue, I was like, shit, 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:17.160 I got to get out of here. So it turned 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.800 out really good. The guys loved it. The listeners really 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:24.280 had fun listening to all those fun memories from the 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.400 past couple of years, and so it was well worth it. 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:31.079 But like you, I started off my week really strange 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.160 to where I only slept a couple of hours, you know, 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:36.559 into the next work day, and then it's like you're 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:38.480 behind the eight ball and you're trying to catch up 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:39.439 for the rest of the week. 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.599 Yeah, it's a it's an iman and I would like 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.120 to send a message. You can pass this on to 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:50.320 your friend's Covino and Rich there from the Ben Mahler Show. 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:52.800 The staff of the show, the Benettes would like to 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:56.320 thank Covino and Rich because I walked into the studio 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:02.280 and Coop is eating cake, Like, what the fuck are 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:05.040 you doing eating cake? You know? I mean who brought 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.840 the cake in? He's, oh, yeah, there's some cake over 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.840 there in the in the kitchen, and then we talked 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:12.880 about it on the air and I guess you guys, 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.480 Covino and Rich had a cake. You guys had a 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.840 cake there to celebrate the one year anniversary, and even 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.960 Eddie partaked in the cake and let them eat cake. 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:26.120 Let there be cake, and uh yeah, so the guys 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.920 enjoyed the cake. So thanks. I didn't need any because 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:32.640 I'm a loser, but it looked really good and. 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.440 Cake by the ocean. It was a good one and 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:38.680 it went fast. There's been times where there's a cake 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.640 that'll stay in our break room. This one went in 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.120 twenty four hours. They picked a good one. 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:48.320 Yeah, it was a When Coop went over there to 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:52.880 get it, it was a cake walk. But I'm bumped. 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:54.920 There you go. We'll be here all weekend. 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.679 You'll be here till Saturday. Oh shit, it's Saturday. You're fired. O. 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:00.200 Wait, we're gonna you know what we're doing. We're going 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:01.800 to play Patty cake is what we're going to do. 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:07.520 He cake and uh yeah, we'll go to the. 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:09.600 Just put the icing on that bad joke. 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:15.080 Oh, there you go. But I'm bump all right. Uh 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:16.880 that's cool.

We 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:32.520 have foody fun, foody fun for everyone, and I've determined 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.280 that this might be a regular feature on the show. 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.960 We like to rotate things. We have Safari Kingdom. We 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:41.120 haven't done that in a while. Scientifically, we haven't done 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.160 that very often. Pop goes the culture. Will do that 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:45.720 in a little bit. We'll do some pop goes to culture. 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.920 We what other bits do we have? We have, oh, 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.480 the quiz that we haven't done in. 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.400 A while, Word of the Week, Phrase of the Week. 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:59.680 Yeah. Yeah, so we've got some some different things. But anyway, 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.040 the the pop quiz. But this is something we're gonna 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:04.920 messing around. Let us know what you think in the 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.200 comments section, or send me an email and say, hey, 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:08.840 I like this, you should do this more often, or 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:12.120 that was terrible. Didn't listen to a second You suck. 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:14.920 So these are food stories because I figured we all 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.320 have to eat. Not much, but we all have to eat. 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:20.720 So this is something I've always wanted. I love onion rings, Dandy, 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.920 do you like onion rings? I do good onion rings. 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.560 I love them, and a lot of places. 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:29.280 Especially in the middle of a burger like Carls Junior 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:33.040 and Harty's. Yeah, what's that in that Western bacon cheeseburger, 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:34.320 and it is magical. 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:38.960 I love burgers with onion rings also, and but I'll 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:42.640 eat if they're well made. I'll just eat on your 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:47.200 rings on the one ranch. Wash your mouth that with 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:49.720 soap and water. There's no need for ranch anyway. So 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:52.680 I was wonder I've always wanted, like, why the hell 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.680 does McDonald's not have onion rings? You know, get the 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:57.760 big mac at and onion ring to it, get the 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:01.600 quarter powder with cheese. So I finally found the answer. 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:07.960 A former McDonald's corporate chef has revealed why McDonald's has 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.440 never had onion rings on the menu. 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.320 Did you see this, Danny, because there are a bunch 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:13.960 of losers. 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.200 Well no, Well the reason is they're they're cheap. They 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:19.560 want to they want to make money. They have to 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:23.920 keep the stockholders happy. So McDonald's they make the most 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:26.240 of their profits, according to this guy who was a 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:29.080 corporate chef, and I guess in Chicago where they're headquartered. 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:34.920 There their most efficient, most profitable. They have a scale. 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:39.440 And so the reason they've not had onion rings, he said, 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.240 think of how many less people would order the fries 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:47.240 and would then order onion rings instead, he explained, And 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:50.920 he said, because of how many fries McDonald sells, and 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:54.200 because of how efficient they are. But here's the kicker, 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:59.560 the most important part the profitability, meaning the write up, 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:02.640 the markup on how much they charge for the fries 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.120 and how much it costs for the potatoes. They mark 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.439 it up so much they make such a profit margin 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:12.320 on that. They're so paranoid at McDonald's about adding onion 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:16.680 rings and that would cut down on the sale of 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:20.400 the fries. And but wouldn't they be able to mark 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:22.800 up the onion rings, wouldn't that? How about it as 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:26.560 a seasonal item like the McRib where you bring it 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:29.119 back every so often. Wouldn't would that kill them that 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:33.120 have the mc onion? Would that be such a bad thing? 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:36.760 Yeah, I guess the way they started when it was 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:39.879 pretty much a simple menu, and I know it expanded 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:44.680 later on. You've seen the movie about Ray Kroc. They 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:48.760 just wanted to do burgers and fries and coke burgers 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:51.959 and fries, and they did master those fries. I mean, 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:56.680 there is nothing like hot McDonald's French fries that are fresh. 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.720 I mean, we've all had bad batches, but when they're good, 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:03.480 there is nothing like them. So I guess I can 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:05.560 see why you wouldn't want to water that down if 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:06.840 you're McDonald's. 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.240 It's the same thing. This guy named Harry Snyder, he 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:14.280 was the founder of In and Out Burger, In and Out, 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:18.920 In and out. That's what a hamburger is all about anyway. 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:21.960 So his model and in and Out still follows this. 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:27.000 It's do one thing and do it well. And they 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:32.320 opened up first in and Out Baldwin Park, Baldwin Park 0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:34.159 other than San Gabriel. But I used to live not 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:38.080 far from the original In and Out Burger, and they 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:41.480 had three items on the menu when they started, burgers, fries, 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:42.160 and shakes. 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:43.600 Do they have. 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:46.159 Anything else that in and Out other than burgers, fries 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:47.159 and shakes today? 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:50.040 I mean they have their secret menu and you could 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:54.119 get like a grilled cheese, but ingredients that would be 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:57.240 used for some of the burgers. So no, I mean 0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:00.440 they've kept it simple and look out much it's paid 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:01.040 off for them. 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:05.760 Yeah, it's a cult. It's like Taylor Swift has her cult. 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:08.359 The Swifties and the in and Out people have their cult. 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:13.080 Here's more foody fun. A McDonald's worker this week has 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:17.120 revealed that the egg and hotcakes are not made fresh. 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:21.600 They are not made fresh. Oh boy, Yeah, devastating news. 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:24.040 This comes from the world of TikTok. I'll have to 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:28.600 check with alf on this, but a content creator there 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:34.159 McDonald's worker, I guess we're all content creators. That just 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:36.959 sounds cool, doesn't it. Content creator? And then you realize 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:39.080 all you have to do is have an account on 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:43.000 a social media platform. Anyway, this person let people know 0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:47.840 that McDonald's already they pre make. The items are pre 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:50.520 made when they arrive at the restaurant. They're pre made. 0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:55.680 Items include folded eggs that McDonald's uses in the biscuit breakfast, 0:19:55.720 --> 0:20:00.800 sandwich and the mcgriddle. And this person should the sealed 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:05.919 packages containing the pre cooked square shaped eggs in the video. 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:09.119 Oh my god, Danny, I'm looking at it right now. 0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:13.480 Just recently on one of our podcasts, I complained about 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:17.199 how much their breakfast costs nowadays, and you're telling me 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:20.520 it's not even fresh those guys. 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:23.960 No it's not. I'm looking at the pancakes. They're in 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:28.600 a plastic bag. And then the egg there's the uh, 0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:31.960 the egg thing that's in a plastic bag. Yeah, that's all. 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:33.159 You know. 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:35.399 They need to get on in and outs level, because 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:39.399 anyone who says it's overhyped, it wasn't that great For 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:42.000 the price point and the quality of in and out, 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:42.879 it is great. 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:46.560 What do we have more on foody fun? We've got 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:51.000 McDonald's revealing a new sweet and Spicy Jam sauce and 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:57.320 Mambo sauce coming out October ninth. So that's exciting. 0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:00.560 What up into their big Mac sauce? That was like 0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:03.879 some big rollout. It lasted for a few weeks, it 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:05.480 seemed like, and then it disappeared. 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:08.399 Yeah, I don't know. I have to look into that. 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:10.199 Maybe for the next foodie fun I'll look into that. 0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:14.480 Here's one KFC, better known by its formal name Kentucky 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:19.720 Fried Chicken, testing a new smashed potato bowl in Pittsburgh. 0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:22.480 So if you're in Pittsburgh, you can have at certain 0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:25.359 locations a smashed potato bowl. 0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:28.440 What up, Pete, go get one when you're hungover. 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:34.040 Which is seven days a week. I think I believe 0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:37.280 seven days of me. I don't know what else do 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:42.280 we have here. We've got Taco bell is adding vegan 0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:45.280 sauce to their nacho fries. I'm a nacho fried guy, 0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:51.000 but it makes little sense for Taco bell to use 0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:58.040 a vegan sauce. Here's why. The number of vegetarians not 0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:03.959 vegans vegetarians somewhere between five and six percent. The number 0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:07.240 of vegans is even less than that. So like, what 0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:09.720 are we doing here? You know what I'm saying. 0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:12.880 Yeah, I'm not a fan of those taco bell fries. 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:13.240 What. 0:22:13.920 --> 0:22:15.000 I just don't like him? 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:18.720 It's bad. Take Yeah, all right, now you're in Vegas, Danny. 0:22:18.720 --> 0:22:23.240 Here's a quickly the number one taco spot in America 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:29.240 was just unveiled by yelp. H oh, and it is 0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:33.679 in Henderson, Nevada. Let's go, gotta go man, you you 0:22:33.760 --> 0:22:39.520 and Coveno Rich. It's called Aroma Latin American Cosina or 0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:41.919 Coachina c C I n A, I don't know. 0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:44.640
