Speaker 1: Kabbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break Free for something Special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the a Everywhere back in the podcast Dojo. The
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny g Radio. As
Speaker 1: you were locked in on this eleventh day of November,
Speaker 1: a happy Saturday, a college football Saturday. As we're actually
Speaker 1: at the time of the year, Danny, we're starting to
Speaker 1: wind down the college football season a little bit. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be the bowl season before you know it, which
Speaker 1: is really just an opportunity for holiday programming for ESPN.
Speaker 1: They have so many bowl games and most of them
Speaker 1: are just so they have something to show over the holidays.
Speaker 3: The only thing they're good for.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, any point from the bowl games start right
Speaker 1: around Thanksgiving, right a little after Thanksgiving, like the week
Speaker 1: after Thanksgiving, first week of December, and they go all
Speaker 1: the way till till early January, and there's like pretty
Speaker 1: much every night or every other night, there's some kind
Speaker 1: of a bowl game on this podcast. Though it being Saturday,
Speaker 1: we're hanging out here. We thank you for being with
Speaker 1: us and hanging out. Obviously, I do the overnight show
Speaker 1: during the week and come in here and do the
Speaker 1: podcast on the weekends, and Danny's on with Covino and
Speaker 1: Rich during the week, and I want.
Speaker 3: To thank you.
Speaker 1: Last week was crazy. We got at the car wash
Speaker 1: f phase, back scratcher phrase of the week. That's a
Speaker 1: new bit, Danny Frase of the week. Times two and
Speaker 1: Pop goes the culture. But we start with this a
Speaker 1: first for the Fifth Hour podcast. We had two pods
Speaker 1: last Friday, well not yesterday, but last Friday last week.
Speaker 1: We did the morning one, which was like ten eleven,
Speaker 1: twelve minutes something like that, and then we joined sixteen minutes.
Speaker 3: We really outdid ourselves.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we only needed to do ten. We did
Speaker 1: an extra six minutes of content. But then we met up,
Speaker 1: we formed Voltron and hung out at the iconic Santa
Speaker 1: Anita Racetrack. You were there all day. I got there
Speaker 1: late in the day and got there the last last
Speaker 1: couple hours of the racing before they shut down the
Speaker 1: racing for the day at the Breeders' Cup. But it
Speaker 1: was great. I thought the pod went very well. We're
Speaker 1: not horse racing guys, Danny. I go to the track
Speaker 1: every once in a while, but I'm not a hard
Speaker 1: old horse racing guy. And I thought, all things considered,
Speaker 1: you know, our guy was pretty good. I thought it
Speaker 1: was entertaining. I don't know, but it's up to you,
Speaker 1: the listener. I thought, all things consider, it went pretty well.
Speaker 3: No, it's fine. I think that both shows that I'm
Speaker 3: on took the right angle, which was, Hey, we do
Speaker 3: kind of like to gamble here and there. We don't
Speaker 3: know anything about horses, so explain to us rather than
Speaker 3: pretending like you're an expert all of a sudden just
Speaker 3: because you're there. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well that's what one of my mentors, Lee Hacksaw. Hamilton
Speaker 1: would have to be an expert at everything. I love Hacksaw,
Speaker 1: but he would have to be like an expert at everything.
Speaker 1: But yeah, just you know, have a good time. And
Speaker 1: I love the vibe we talked about on the podcast
Speaker 1: last week. Walking around you see people all dulled up,
Speaker 1: all dressed up ready to go right, and then you
Speaker 1: see other people slubs exactly, total slubs, probably haven't showered
Speaker 1: in a couple of months, and they're there for the
Speaker 1: slim chance, the remote possibility that they the you know,
Speaker 1: the trifecta, and they nail it, they slay the dragon
Speaker 1: and they achieve the impossible, to fight the odds and
Speaker 1: win a ton of money. And it's it's just funny
Speaker 1: because you walk around there and as you know, they
Speaker 1: got that vibe. You got the guys that are looking
Speaker 1: at the daily racing form and they're just like all
Speaker 1: over it. And then you've got other people. They seem
Speaker 1: like a lot of people they didn't even bet. They
Speaker 1: were just kind of hanging out. They were just like,
Speaker 1: you know, I have a good time, have some drinks
Speaker 1: or some food. Here I can knock it out. So
Speaker 1: always fun, always fun to go to the track and
Speaker 1: hang yeah.
Speaker 3: And I look up and you're live on AM five
Speaker 3: seventy as a guest on Petros and Money.
Speaker 1: Well, I have not seen Petros. Me and Petrols go
Speaker 1: way back there. I had not seen Petros. I don't
Speaker 1: see it. I sometimes fill in with Fred Rogan on
Speaker 1: the local station in La AM five seventy, which is
Speaker 1: the flagship of Fox Sports Radio in LA and so
Speaker 1: I'll fill in with Fred, but I'm usually remote, I'm
Speaker 1: not in the studio, and I have not seen I
Speaker 1: had not seen Petros probably since before the pandemic, so
Speaker 1: at least and probably a couple of years before that.
Speaker 1: So it's been it's been a fair amount of time,
Speaker 1: and so it was great to catch up. I actually,
Speaker 1: fun fact, Danny, when I was doing local local radio
Speaker 1: in LA in the nineties, Petros was a full back.
Speaker 1: He was a pullback for the University of Southern California.
Speaker 1: We had him on as a guest. He was a
Speaker 1: guest on the Ben and Dave show that I did.
Speaker 3: Could you guys tell that he was going to be
Speaker 3: in radio or in broadcasting?
Speaker 1: Well, we thought he would do something because he had
Speaker 1: He definitely had the gift for gab. You know, he
Speaker 1: had the genesee quah, but we weren't sure. USC made
Speaker 1: sure that he did a lot of interviews. They always
Speaker 1: he was the go to guy. He was kind of
Speaker 1: the de facto sport spokesperson. And not that they had
Speaker 1: great teams when he was there.
Speaker 3: They didn't.
Speaker 1: They were not particularly dominant when Petro's played there, but
Speaker 1: he the peat. It was great to see him, and
Speaker 1: we had a similar mantra. We were talking about the
Speaker 1: business a little bit and schmoozing, and then I went
Speaker 1: on with him and Bill Plashy had seen Bill, good
Speaker 1: old Bill who always throws it down. Disagree with about
Speaker 1: ninety five percent of what Bill says, but I like him.
Speaker 1: We get along, and so it was good to see him.
Speaker 1: He was there. Money was away with the Chargers. Who
Speaker 1: does the show? Petros some money, but money was away
Speaker 1: in New York. So yeah, that was the thing. I
Speaker 1: was at the car wash, so I did not expect
Speaker 1: that either day. So we did the interview. The way
Speaker 1: it was set up, it was like being at the
Speaker 1: super Bowl, but only with iHeartMedia. It was like I
Speaker 1: didn't see anybody that it was all our There's a
Speaker 1: whole of radio and podcasting set up on.
Speaker 3: It was iHeartRadio Row.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was iHeartRadio. So we had a
Speaker 1: podcast booth which we were in. The next booth over
Speaker 1: was our local station, A five seventy that was Petros,
Speaker 1: and then the next booth over was you guys, Covino
Speaker 1: and Rich and then Rob Parker did his show from there,
Speaker 1: and then the one that I did not know was
Speaker 1: the Conway Show, our guy Tim Conway from KFI. I
Speaker 1: know Tim a little bit. I didn't seen Tim in
Speaker 1: a long time. I didn't even know he was there,
Speaker 1: and I ended up going on KFI. I did a
Speaker 1: hit on KFI for which is the number one news station.
Speaker 1: That's news talk, Danny, that's serious, KFI, more stimulating.
Speaker 3: What did he ask you about when you were on
Speaker 3: that station?
Speaker 1: No, it was funny. So Conway is a really hard,
Speaker 1: oh gambler when it comes to horsing, like horse racing,
Speaker 1: like you know, I'm not that into it, but he
Speaker 1: really is into it, Like he went Tim Conway is
Speaker 1: the son of the more famous His dad, Tim Conway
Speaker 1: was a huge star in the seventies in the eighties,
Speaker 1: and so Tim would go out That was like how
Speaker 1: they bonded. He and his dad would go to the
Speaker 1: track and they'd go to Santa Nita and they used
Speaker 1: to be Hollywood Park and they just knocked themselves out
Speaker 1: and amble and the whole thing. I think sant Anita
Speaker 1: was the go to. So Tim goes out there, so
Speaker 1: I'm doing you know, he was asking me about the
Speaker 1: TV show, so he wanted me to promote the TV show.
Speaker 1: So I went on there and we you know, just
Speaker 1: shot the you know what. I did a segment. It
Speaker 1: was cool. It was like top of the hour. But
Speaker 1: the funny thing was that Tim Tim Conway was so
Speaker 1: into the races. There was a race that was happening
Speaker 1: as I was talking and Tim I'm talking, he stands
Speaker 1: up and starts walking so he can get a better
Speaker 1: view of the TV because he wanted he had the
Speaker 1: number three horse, you know, he had to he had. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that that played out, so so yeah, I ended up
Speaker 1: doing our podcast. They did the petrol some money thing.
Speaker 1: I also went on with Tim Conway and they call
Speaker 1: that the car wash. I was not planning on doing
Speaker 1: the cars. I was planning and getting out of there
Speaker 1: and going and looking at some of the races and
Speaker 1: then we had We ended up having dinner kind of
Speaker 1: in that area right around there. So it was a fun,
Speaker 1: fun little trip, had a good time. And nobody nobody
Speaker 1: said hey, your f face. Nobody said that to me.
Speaker 1: Nobody got in my face and said that. They were nice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you walked in, you were popular. You were
Speaker 3: mister popular. Everybody wanted you to do a hit off
Speaker 3: the Raio station. It was great because you're a TV
Speaker 3: guy now.
Speaker 1: I guess so maybe I don't know, But then then
Speaker 1: I ran in Danny too. There were some listeners that
Speaker 1: came up to me and said they were fans of
Speaker 1: the podcast and the show and all that. That was cool.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's very cool. Yeah, because there were there was
Speaker 3: a group of AM five seventy listeners that were there
Speaker 3: gathered around Petros's booth, so I thought there'd probably be
Speaker 3: some some mixing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there was a There were a couple of
Speaker 1: people that came up to me, which was cool. They
Speaker 1: were like, they're a big fan, you know, and they
Speaker 1: were they were very nice and so that was it
Speaker 1: was great to meet him. So I appreciate that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you mentioned, uh, you mentioned f face a couple
Speaker 3: of days ago. I'm sitting at my desk at the
Speaker 3: campus and super windy outside. But they always blast the
Speaker 3: heater in these classrooms and they have those things over
Speaker 3: the temperature gauge the lock box.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: I hate those things because I want to be in
Speaker 3: control of what the temperature is in the room, not
Speaker 3: the custodian or the vice principal or whoever the hell
Speaker 3: sets that. Yeah, they're blasting the heater in the classrooms
Speaker 3: in the morning. So I opened up the window next
Speaker 3: to my desk, and what was outside of my classroom.
Speaker 1: Take a guess, A donkey. They're a live donkey outside.
Speaker 1: I want a camel.
Speaker 3: I might as well have been. The way these kids
Speaker 3: were talking. Oh oh oh, it was a little group
Speaker 3: of seventh grade boys. And now I say seventh grade
Speaker 3: because they see seemed like they were trying to be
Speaker 3: cool like not nerds or little like sixth graders. But
Speaker 3: I could tell that they weren't mature like the eighth graders.
Speaker 3: So I'm guessing, Ben with malord math, that they were
Speaker 3: seventh graders.
Speaker 1: Makes perfect sense, because that's a very annoying age when
Speaker 1: you're in seventh grade. Seventh and eighth grade very annoying.
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially seventh graders. I mean, usually the sixth graders
Speaker 3: are too shy to get into a lot of trouble.
Speaker 3: The eighth graders have already been there and done that.
Speaker 3: The seventh graders are usually the ones that pop off
Speaker 3: and talk back.
Speaker 1: Okay, so they're they're they're they're the schmucks.
Speaker 3: Not all of them, but that's kind of how the charge.
Speaker 1: It's not a picnic with these guys, right, you know,
Speaker 1: they're you know, they're throwing food.
Speaker 3: This is the conversation I hear and I had to
Speaker 3: like do a double take. And this is when when
Speaker 3: I glanced out the window. They have no idea that somebody,
Speaker 3: an adult is on the other side of the window
Speaker 3: that they're standing outside of.
Speaker 1: Not a cannon microphone, but might as.
Speaker 3: Well bit exactly. The one says to the other, quit it,
Speaker 3: quit it, you fuck face. So it gets my attention
Speaker 3: because it's you know, whenever you hear a kid drop
Speaker 3: the F bomb, you're like, okay, here we go, blank
Speaker 3: my blank and blank you. Now the next kid says,
Speaker 3: fuck you, you're a fuck face. I'm like, boy, let
Speaker 3: me get my F bomb counter out because now it
Speaker 3: was on I'm minding. Third kid chimes in, he's like, hell,
Speaker 3: you guys better be quiet. I see a campus supervisor
Speaker 3: over there, and they both said shut up, fuck face,
Speaker 3: because he was telling them they were going to get
Speaker 3: in trouble. So yeah, this was like our old thing
Speaker 3: with pencil neck ray. You know, we used to count
Speaker 3: how many times he'd say pencil neck.
Speaker 1: Like pencilnck, pencil necks.
Speaker 3: Campus supervisor did come walking up towards them and he's like, see,
Speaker 3: I told you you're the fuck face. And she walks
Speaker 3: up to them, She's like, what are you guys doing
Speaker 3: over here? And they're like nothing and then they walked away. Hey,
Speaker 3: it was awesome though, because I haven't heard that many
Speaker 3: bombs since a certain podcast that I listened to sometimes,
Speaker 3: but on a middle school campus that was a treat.
Speaker 1: The seventh graders in their own habitat, there, their own domain,
Speaker 1: and they think that there's no one, no one that
Speaker 1: can hear them, right, And it's like, yeah, they're going
Speaker 1: for that, you know, all the bad words, and they
Speaker 1: are They're ready, they are ready.
Speaker 3: Are blank by blank and blank you blankny.
Speaker 1: Blank blank blank bank by man. All right, Yah, we
Speaker 1: have backscratcher or do we have backscratcher? Last week we
Speaker 1: set a current record for this year for the most
Speaker 1: reviews on the Apple podcast page. So, Danny, this week,
Speaker 1: were we getting three? Did we get three reviews? One
Speaker 1: review or no reviews?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 3: I was wrong on this last time. I'm gonna say three.
Speaker 1: Three awesome you're you're mister positive over there.
Speaker 3: I'm the opposite of who are you saying? Does negative radio?
Speaker 1: Well? Everyone does negative radio.
Speaker 3: That's what the opposite of that, damn it.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so you're not stammering, you're not cautious,
Speaker 1: you're not hesitant, You're you're you're like, hey, we finally
Speaker 1: broke through. We crossed the rubicon, and we have been
Speaker 1: able to figure out how to get people every week
Speaker 1: to not give us a charcuterie board, but to just
Speaker 1: give us a nice review. Survey says zilch, we got zilch.
Speaker 1: We got bumpus this week, which is disappointing. But there's
Speaker 1: new opportunities. You can do it right now, you can
Speaker 1: do it later. You can do it. You'll probably forget
Speaker 1: if you do it later. But the Apple podcast page
Speaker 1: podcast dot Apple dot com, or just on your phone
Speaker 1: Apple podcast page and the fifth Hour No.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can just click on the link that's in
Speaker 3: the description of this show right here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So just do that. That's the easiest way to
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 3: And unless you have an Android phone, then you're just
Speaker 3: you know, then you're you're screwed.
Speaker 1: And they do that intentionally, right, the Apple people, they
Speaker 1: think their phone's better, so they don't want you to
Speaker 1: have the same joy that the Apple users have, and so.
Speaker 3: They don't think it's better. They know it's better. It's
Speaker 3: way better. Alien technology.
Speaker 1: Have big eyes.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, I'm an iPhone guy. And the one thing about
Speaker 1: the phones is it's such a pain in the ass
Speaker 1: to go from like an iPhone iPhone to an Android.
Speaker 1: Once you go Android, you don't go iPhone. Once you
Speaker 1: go iPhone, you don't go Android because you'll lose all
Speaker 1: your music, you lose all everything.
Speaker 3: The Android users who finally switch to Apple, they kick themselves.
Speaker 3: They're like, why didn't I do that sooner? My WIFEI
Speaker 3: she was like that right before we met. She said
Speaker 3: she had an Android. She got her first iPhone right
Speaker 3: before we started dating, and she said it was like,
Speaker 3: holy crap, why didn't I do this sooner?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's pretty cool. But also, like to me,
Speaker 1: with computers, I don't work. We have PCs at work,
Speaker 1: but suck terrible. The Apple laptop a laptop is the
Speaker 1: way to go.
Speaker 3: Oh if there were Apple computers at our job, my
Speaker 3: job would be so much smoother because I'm constantly dealing
Speaker 3: with that wheel that pops up and spins and yeah,
Speaker 3: and shit crashing, stalling out and freezing. And my laptop,
Speaker 3: my Apple laptop. It never does that ever, never, ever.
Speaker 3: If we had Apple products at work, oh, I bet
Speaker 3: you that would save me an hour of to day.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'll be wonderful. And they generally are better products,
Speaker 1: they last longer, there's not as much circling wheels on them.
Speaker 1: It's just ridiculous. It's such a as al Michaels say,
Speaker 1: farcical situation because these computers they have to update like
Speaker 1: every day or every other day. And when do you
Speaker 1: think they program these computers to update, Danny, When do
Speaker 1: you think the automatic update is? Uh?
Speaker 3: Oh right when you're on the air.
Speaker 1: Yes, to absolutely destroy what I'm doing. It's like a
Speaker 1: nightly rebellion against what I'm trying to accomplish. You can
Speaker 1: really cock it up. At first, I thought it was
Speaker 1: kind of cute. I thought it was fine, you know whatever,
Speaker 1: But every single night.
Speaker 3: Why do these PCs need to update so often?
Speaker 1: I agree, it's so stupid. Everything in moderation, even updating
Speaker 1: your stupid software. Okay, and if your software sucks that much,
Speaker 1: why not get somebody hire somebody that can make software,
Speaker 1: program software where you don't have to update it three
Speaker 1: times or four times a week. It makes me nauseous.
Speaker 1: I'm nauseating thinking about it. It's so stupid, always in
Speaker 1: the overnight. No. I actually tried to change that. I
Speaker 1: thought it would be funny when Cowhord's on, I could
Speaker 1: somehow do it. He's not even there anyway, he wouldn't care.
Speaker 1: So I tried to do it, and I got to
Speaker 1: the final page on the setup. So I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is great. I'm gonna get back at these guys.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have it go at a different time when
Speaker 1: one of the big shows is on and they'd all
Speaker 1: be mesmerized and hypnotized and all that. They'd be like,
Speaker 1: oh man, I can't believe. So I got to the
Speaker 1: final page and then I needed a password I didn't have,
Speaker 1: and it ruled the whole thing. I was like, so close.
Speaker 1: I needed a final password and then I would in
Speaker 1: and I couldn't get the final password because it was
Speaker 1: one of the engineering guys and I don't know him.
Speaker 1: It wasn't it wasn't our guy, curious, it was somebody
Speaker 1: else and was it? Is it? Fred is that the
Speaker 1: yeah Fred.
Speaker 3: That PC said in your face? Malor said in.
Speaker 1: Your face, Ha, I'm Fred. No, no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1: Uh so, but yeah, that's really a pain in the
Speaker 1: in the behind. But you know what is not a
Speaker 1: pain in the behind. That would be the priraise of
Speaker 1: the day times to the praise.
Speaker 3: Of the day. Oh oh you said day again?
Speaker 1: Oh I said. Phrase of the week of the week, Daddy.
Speaker 3: Take three the phrase of the week.
Speaker 1: All right, take three, take four? Whatever. Now this is
Speaker 1: by request, by request, today's Saturday's phrase of the week.
Speaker 1: It is dollars to donuts. Dollars to donuts. And I've
Speaker 1: used this a few times.
Speaker 3: Over the years. Yeah, I was gonna say, I've heard
Speaker 3: you use this one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is in my lexicon, and it means that
Speaker 1: an outcome that is almost assured is that you say
Speaker 1: dollars to donas. It's it's guaranteed, right, it's a certainty.
Speaker 1: Like if you go to an NBA game, a star
Speaker 1: player is going to complain that they got fouled and
Speaker 1: you didn't call some kind of hissy fit. You to
Speaker 1: an NFL game, someone's gonna get hurt. Go to a
Speaker 1: baseball game, someone's going to hit the ball to the
Speaker 1: second basement of the shortstop or hit a fly ball.
Speaker 1: There's certain things that are certain in life. And in
Speaker 1: additioning the history of the word dollars to donors, the
Speaker 1: phrase it's similar to dollars to buttons, which is a
Speaker 1: phrase I'm not I'm not familiar with, and dollars to cobwebs,
Speaker 1: and those phrases date back to eighteen eighty four and
Speaker 1: nineteen oh four, so we're going way back in the
Speaker 1: uptime machine. It's an American phrase dollars to donuts, and
Speaker 1: it is used as donuts rather than the actual notation donuts.
Speaker 1: So there's a as opposed to do and uts as
Speaker 1: opposed to do U g H. N uts. Now, in
Speaker 1: the earlier days, the legend goes that the dollar was
Speaker 1: worth more back back before the United States government ruined
Speaker 1: the value of the dollar, when it actually meant something
Speaker 1: and it had you know, cachet, and you had the
Speaker 1: gold at Fort Knox and all that. The phrase in
Speaker 1: those days, a dollar was worth more than it is now,
Speaker 1: and a donut costs considerably less compared to the dollar.
Speaker 1: The value of the dollar you can get a donut
Speaker 1: was like five cents or three cents or something like that.
Speaker 1: So someone who was reasonably sure that an event would
Speaker 1: happen would bet and say, hey, I'll bet dollars to donuts,
Speaker 1: and that's just to prove, Hey, I am so confident
Speaker 1: that that horse is gonna win the race that I'm
Speaker 1: willing to bet a dollar for your donut, which is
Speaker 1: worth nothing.
Speaker 3: So these okay, now that makes sense now.
Speaker 1: So the phrase all the way dollars to donute. Now
Speaker 1: these days, dollars to donuts does not really apply because
Speaker 1: you you can get like one donut for a dollar
Speaker 1: if you're lucky. You know what I'm saying, right, Dan,
Speaker 1: And these things are still depending on what donut shop
Speaker 1: you know. To these designer donut shops, it'll cost you
Speaker 1: a fair amount of money.
Speaker 3: Dude. The last time I brought a dozen donuts in
Speaker 3: Covino and Rich were filling in for the Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 3: I get inside the donut place, I picked the donuts
Speaker 3: and she rings me up and she's like, there'll be
Speaker 3: nineteen dollars and ninety six cents. I know, I just
Speaker 3: got one dozen, not too, let's do it.
Speaker 1: I used to love going to Donut King. They have
Speaker 1: the tigertail donut, which is the size of your forearm.
Speaker 1: Strawberry Donuts, if that's your jam. Southern California place called
Speaker 1: the Donut Donut King. They actually have two locations, one
Speaker 1: in downtown LA if it's still open, and they have
Speaker 1: one out in the San Gabriel Valley. And used to
Speaker 1: go there all the time and loved it, and they
Speaker 1: were open twenty four hours. Nothing better than a fresh donut.
Speaker 3: I got to stop you right there. I haven't had
Speaker 3: sugar in two weeks.
Speaker 1: Can I ask you a question?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 3: I was having like a dry mouth situation during the
Speaker 3: overnight and I read that that is a warning sign.
Speaker 1: Oh you're worried about like diabetes or.
Speaker 3: Something, Yeah, like pre diabetes, diabetes.
Speaker 1: How did you self, did you, doctor Danny G determine
Speaker 1: this on your own, not have any of like blood
Speaker 1: test done or anything like that.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I do have a doctor's appointment coming up
Speaker 3: at the end of the month. Yeah, but I used
Speaker 3: the genie I'm a doctor school of medicine where I
Speaker 3: went online and looked at the warning signs and that's
Speaker 3: one of them, and I'm like, holy shit, And it
Speaker 3: says to immediately drop ten pounds cut out sugar. So
Speaker 3: for two weeks now, Ben, I have been under my
Speaker 3: calorie allotment per day, and I cut out most sugar. So,
Speaker 3: you know, if it's something healthy that I'm eating and
Speaker 3: there's a little bit of sugar in it, or natural
Speaker 3: sugar from a fruit, that's cool. But as far as
Speaker 3: a dessert or sweets or anything like that, haven't had
Speaker 3: it in two weeks. And You're sitting here talking about
Speaker 3: donuts and I'm like.
Speaker 1: Well, how about I didn't know, no, But I like
Speaker 1: that you're doing that because if you remember, and I
Speaker 1: don't know if you were with me on the podcast
Speaker 1: or not, but a couple years ago, it's been several
Speaker 1: years now. At time, all just kind of morphs together.
Speaker 1: It's just like a big ball of stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: it's all together. I don't know, but it was a
Speaker 1: few years ago. It was around Halloween, so it was
Speaker 1: around this time of the year, little after Halloween, and
Speaker 1: I started having these dizzy spells.
Speaker 3: Oh I remember that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I was like, I get out of bed
Speaker 1: and I was all dizzy and lightheaded, and my brain
Speaker 1: was like foggy, and it was really bad for a
Speaker 1: couple of days, and I was like, oh crap. And
Speaker 1: so I was like, I was convinced I was diabetic because,
Speaker 1: like you, I went online and I looked at all
Speaker 1: this stuff, and of course you look online. Whatever symptoms
Speaker 1: you have, you're going to die. I'm not going to live.
Speaker 1: There's no chance. You're done. That's it, it's over. And
Speaker 1: so I'm like, oh crap. So I went and I
Speaker 1: had some blood work done, and it turns out that
Speaker 1: I actually was in really I didn't have diabetes, and
Speaker 1: and I what had happened was I after Halloween, we
Speaker 1: went and bought a couple of big bags of candy
Speaker 1: for the kids, and we had hardly any trick or
Speaker 1: treaters that year. So who do you think ate most
Speaker 1: of the candy?
Speaker 3: Oh? You overdose? That's right. I remember you talking about
Speaker 3: how you completely overdosed with that huge bag.
Speaker 1: And I hadn't eaten a lot of candy up until
Speaker 1: then because I'm doing I was doing the fasting stuff,
Speaker 1: and my body like like gott into shock mode.
Speaker 3: You spiked your blood sugar?
Speaker 1: Did I did? And so that was that was the problem.
Speaker 1: But fortunately, I was like so relieved because I was like,
Speaker 1: oh crap, man, everything I love had sugar in it.
Speaker 3: Oh, you know, and I'm sure a lot of our
Speaker 3: listeners have gone to web md and had little situations
Speaker 3: like this where it's a little bit of a slap
Speaker 3: in the face, a little bit of a wake up call.
Speaker 3: And even if I don't have the other symptoms yet,
Speaker 3: but I don't want to get the other symptoms, especially
Speaker 3: having a newborn. Got to be around for the kids.
Speaker 3: So you'll be happy to hear in the past two weeks,
Speaker 3: I have lost five pounds.
Speaker 1: Five pounds, guys, good job by you. There you go
Speaker 1: now if you want to join my cult, I do
Speaker 1: have a space open on the on the inter Minute
Speaker 1: Fasting Bandwagon if you want. But it does you know,
Speaker 1: it's worked for me. It's not for everybody. But this
Speaker 1: reminds me of that old adage and ounce of was it?
Speaker 1: Ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure? Have
Speaker 1: you you've heard that, right?
Speaker 3: I've heard that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an old old wives tale or whatever back
Speaker 1: in the day, but it's true. If you can prevent
Speaker 1: something from happening, it's it's much easier than having to
Speaker 1: deal with, you know, the the shots and all that
Speaker 1: it comes. If you can avoid it, you might as well.
Speaker 1: I need to go for it, right.
Speaker 3: But yeah, the only needle going into my skin is
Speaker 3: for tattoos.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Last time I put a few more pounds on
Speaker 1: it was because of my addiction to lemonade and drinks
Speaker 1: that were just I was drinking like two hundred three
Speaker 1: hundred calories of empty calories and juice, and so I
Speaker 1: cut the juice out, went back to just water. Now
Speaker 1: I did my compromise. And I don't know if this
Speaker 1: is good for you or not. It's probably not. But
Speaker 1: there's this thing called crystal Light. Have you ever had that? Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the packets, yeah, that you add to water. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I found a couple of flavors of that I
Speaker 1: really like. And so it's only like ten or fifteen calories.
Speaker 1: There's no sugar in it. And so I have completely
Speaker 1: cut out almost all like juice. I don't I just
Speaker 1: I'll have a kid on the weekends, you know, sometimes
Speaker 1: I'll have a Crystal Light pack because that's nothing ten
Speaker 1: fifteen calories. You can burn that off, no problem, as
Speaker 1: opposed to drinking three glasses of lemonade and Hawaiian punch
Speaker 1: and grape juice and cranberry juice and any other kind
Speaker 1: of juice I could get my hands on, which pisses
Speaker 1: me off because it reminds me that knucklehead Tom Looney
Speaker 1: when I did the show with him, and I used
Speaker 1: to drink orange juice. I loved orange juice. On the Blitz.
Speaker 1: We get way to get there early in the morning,
Speaker 1: so I'd walk in with orange juice and Looney would
Speaker 1: give me this lecture, eat the orange, don't drink the juice,
Speaker 1: and I said, fuck you, is what I said. Then
Speaker 1: I drank the juice, and now here these years later,
Speaker 1: I am not drinking the juice.
Speaker 3: No juice.
Speaker 1: Let's do a little bit of pop goes the Culture.
Speaker 1: What do you say you ready?
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's bring in our boy. Ohio ow John john.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Ohio. Wel pop goes the culture.
Speaker 1: These are stories from the pop culture world and Dwayne
Speaker 1: the Rock Johnson this week revealed that he has been
Speaker 1: approached by multiple political parties. Well, I wonder those could be.
Speaker 1: There's really only two in America, both parties, we assume.
Speaker 1: He didn't say for sure, but he was contacted about
Speaker 1: running for president and he's been His name's come up
Speaker 1: in the past and that's one way to have half
Speaker 1: the country hate you is to run for president. And
Speaker 1: he did not say that he was into it. Sounds
Speaker 1: like he's not. But there's a guy that could get
Speaker 1: elected president pretty easy. I would think he would, depending
Speaker 1: I don't know what party he would run for.
Speaker 3: An independent, Yeah, no, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: Because he said he was being contacted by political parties.
Speaker 1: I know there's the Green Party and Doc Mike calls
Speaker 1: up every year and says he's running for president from
Speaker 1: the Health Party or something as much of small small
Speaker 1: political parties. But it's almost impossible, based on the way
Speaker 1: it's set up to have any kind of success under that.
Speaker 1: What do we have here, Let's see page down. A
Speaker 1: cattle attacked by a crocodile, bit back and survived. This
Speaker 1: is in Australia, of course, it's in Australia. An Australian
Speaker 1: cattle farmer going to leave the hospital early, nearly a
Speaker 1: month early after getting bitten by a crocodile. He escaped
Speaker 1: by biting back. What a badass. Guy's name Colin. He's
Speaker 1: in his sixties. He is walking towards a river northern
Speaker 1: Australia to take care of some fencing when he saw
Speaker 1: fish clustering in like the pond, and he left this
Speaker 1: bill of bong? What is it in a bill of bong?
Speaker 1: What is a bill of bong? They were clustering in
Speaker 1: a bill of bong? It says, what is that? I
Speaker 1: don't know what that is?
Speaker 3: Coop would know.
Speaker 1: Hell smoke every day. So this guy realized with all
Speaker 1: this going on, he realized that there was something else
Speaker 1: in the water besides the fish. He abandoned his idea
Speaker 1: to catch catching some fish. He turned to leave. The
Speaker 1: water had receded and they were down to the dirty
Speaker 1: water in the middle of the guy said, not using brevity,
Speaker 1: a all of a sudden, he took two steps and
Speaker 1: he called it in his quote, the dirty bastard latched
Speaker 1: onto my right foot, and he grabbed on and shook
Speaker 1: him like a rag doll and took the guy back
Speaker 1: to the water, pulled him into the water.
Speaker 3: Damn yeah.
Speaker 1: And this guy in his sixties, he tried biting and kicking.
Speaker 1: Nothing worked until this is wonderful, until he chomped down
Speaker 1: on the only remotely vulnerable spot on the beast.
Speaker 3: You know what it was, danny tail? Did he get
Speaker 3: some tail?
Speaker 1: He did not get any tail. He bit into the
Speaker 1: alligator's eyeball.
Speaker 3: Aw nasty, how massive image in the texture.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's either that's a great hack if you
Speaker 1: if you live in Florida or somewhere of the alligators.
Speaker 3: Oh, if you're desperate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd never heard this before. That's that's like a
Speaker 1: cheek coat. To beat an alligator, you just have to
Speaker 1: be willing to eat an eyeball, or at least an eyelid.
Speaker 1: That's the only spot on the alligator where it it's
Speaker 1: it's got, it's it's uh, it's weak right there.
Speaker 3: In some countries, it's probably a delicacy.
Speaker 1: That quote. I jerked back on his eyelid, and that
Speaker 1: that's when the gator let me go. He freed himself.
Speaker 1: He ran to the car. The croc was in pursuit
Speaker 1: following him. The guy's are running. He used the towel
Speaker 1: and some rope as a tournique, and then his brother
Speaker 1: drove him to the hospital and he's been there. Happened
Speaker 1: back in mid mid Octoberbody's supposed to get out earlier.
Speaker 1: So see, you're learning things, Danny, like I wouldn't know
Speaker 1: to bite the iselid of an alligator. I wouldn't want to,
Speaker 1: but hey, apparently it works. Yeah, well cranberries. You ever
Speaker 1: eat cranberries at all?
Speaker 3: Drink cranberry juice sometimes? Yeah, although now I got to
Speaker 3: get the kind with low sugar because that shit is
Speaker 3: packed with sugar.
Speaker 1: Oh hell yeah. It says cranberries can bounce, float, and
Speaker 1: pollinate themselves. There is a report the Science of Cranberry's,
Speaker 1: which I'm sure is just fascinating, but it was its
Speaker 1: Thanksgivings coming up. So they did this whole thing about
Speaker 1: cranberries and that the plant goes back five thousand, five
Speaker 1: hundred years. How do they know that? I think I'm
Speaker 1: a little skeptical, but wild cranberries are native to North America.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 1: And of course, obviously you haven't been cranberry sauce. I
Speaker 1: guess there's cranberry pudding. Never had that. I've had cranberry bread.
Speaker 1: It's okay, yeah, all right, It's not not the greatest
Speaker 1: thing in the world.
Speaker 3: So there you go.
Speaker 1: Today. By the way, fun fact about sixty percent of
Speaker 1: the United States cranberry is you know what state they
Speaker 1: come from? This is fun fact.
Speaker 3: Well Washington.
Speaker 1: I would have thought Washington too, but the correct answer
Speaker 1: was Wisconsin, what cranberry capital. They called the cheese cheese land,
Speaker 1: but the cranberry land sixty percent of the US cranberry harvest,
Speaker 1: followed by Massachusetts. Yeah, Massachusetts cranbery, Oregon, and New Jersey.
Speaker 3: Okay, I could see Oregon. Yeah, Jersey.
Speaker 1: New Jersey must be out in the middle part of
Speaker 1: the southern part of New Jersey near New York.
Speaker 3: I know that a cover business for Moosa action.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you have some Baba baba Baba baba is
Speaker 1: the Uh, that's the the was the word. I'm having
Speaker 1: a mental block all of a sudden, But no from
Speaker 1: the soprano, I remember.
Speaker 3: Oh yeahaoul.
Speaker 1: That was all I was trying to remember. It's too
Speaker 1: close to baba.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're similar.
Speaker 1: So that's the problem. Do you like uh? Do you
Speaker 1: like the Italian beef? Are you a fan of the
Speaker 1: Italian beef?
Speaker 3: Uh? It's not bad.
Speaker 1: But the bing bought a boom the gobba ghoul? Remember
Speaker 1: that Baba and goba ghool. And I looked up the
Speaker 1: This is an added bonus. I looked up the actual meaning.
Speaker 1: The Sicilian meanings comes from the Sicilian dialect. It means
Speaker 1: a mess of things. Thrown together carelessly or without order.
Speaker 1: Goba gool.
Speaker 3: It's like a nice cut of the neck and shoulder.
Speaker 3: I believe it's definitely not cheap boloney. Okay, when I
Speaker 3: think about my grandmother, she would put some baloney on
Speaker 3: a skillet. What in the world was she thinking?
Speaker 1: Man? I also, we've talked about it. I flashed back
Speaker 1: to my youth. I thought, boy, I'm eating really well
Speaker 1: as a kid, and then I think of the foods
Speaker 1: I ate as a caiss like, these are the cheapest foods. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was eating tons of spaghetti and mac and cheese
Speaker 1: and vandy cap fish sticks.
Speaker 3: So much of it frozen or in cans. My parents
Speaker 3: have a problem getting fresh foods.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that generation, that's all they went. That was
Speaker 1: their go to.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, they were used to wars where things were
Speaker 3: in cans and containers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the shortage of things.
Speaker 3: And my mom.
Speaker 1: Would hoard toilet paper before COVID obviously, and the you know,
Speaker 1: paper towels, all kinds of stuff. All right, we'll get
