He's the last remnants 4 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He 5 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 6 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. 7 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 3: Wow. 8 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special. 9 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. 10 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 3: In the air everywhere. 11 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben Mahler and Danny g 12 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: Radio America America.

And here we are 17 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: and a super special edition of the podcast, which we're 18 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: calling I think this is appropriate because it's Independence Day. 19 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: Irish eyes are evil. Irish eyes are evil. So if 20 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: you've read the podcast description, you probably know already what 21 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: this is about. 22 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 3: It's a bit of a cheat code. 23 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 1: This podcast for the one percent of the one percent 24 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: who listened to the overnight show and are fans of 25 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: audio and that would be you. It's like members only here. 26 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: It's a special cult that listens to this fifth hour podcast, 27 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: especially on a holiday weekend like this. So if you 28 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: did not, for some reason scan the description of the pod, 29 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: maybe you missed it. The Malar Militia. Let's go back 30 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: in the hot tub time machine to earlier this week. 31 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: It is the story that everyone is to talking about 32 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: that is a fan of the show. How does one 33 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: handle some unexpected lucky charms? If you will, so my 34 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: thoughts on the incident that happened. I've got soap mascot 35 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: Clint Eastwood, and employee handbook, and we are going to 36 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and make soda bread 37 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: and shepherd's pie something you should not eat on Independence 38 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: Day weekend. And if you're in Ireland, it's just another day. 39 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: So first of all, picture if you will. It's high noon, daytime, 40 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: classic sunny day in LA It's always sunny, not in Philadelphia. 41 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: In Los Angeles, normal human beings are roaming earth, not 42 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: us night shift vampires. These are daytime people. And now 43 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: entering the scene is our radio power, the one and 44 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: only Mike the Leprechaun. 45 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 3: You know the guy, right, He's from Boston. 46 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: He sounds like he's gargling Lucky charms, yeah, that guy 47 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: while yelling about the Celtics, and so he decides to 48 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: show up to the Fox Sports radio studios in Los Angeles. 49 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: Now keep in mind that this is roughly ten hours 50 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: early for the big in studio experience and appearance. Ten hours. 51 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: He's got more enthusiasm than a bright eyed, bushy tailed 52 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: rookie at the NFL Combine, And of course he also 53 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: has less sense than a Boston Red Sox fan betting 54 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: on this team to win the World Series in twenty 55 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: twenty five. But for those of you in the back 56 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: of the room who think somehow that we live in 57 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: the magic radio box, I promise you, I promise you 58 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: that is not true. 59 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 3: Spoiler alert, we don't. I am not here during the day. 60 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: Now. I did do some fill in radio. We'll talk 61 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: about that as we get through the weekend. And so 62 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: that was rare and appropriate, rare and appropriate. I got 63 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 1: the call out of the bullpen to do some daytime radio. 64 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: But typically I am sleeping in my coffin, if you will. 65 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: I don't sleep long, but I try to get a 66 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: snooze in during the day and I'm dreaming of Dodger 67 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: World Series wins and Rams, Super Bowls and Clipper Championships, 68 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: all the things that happen on a regular basis. So 69 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: I start making some calls. I sent some texts out, 70 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: and here's what I've gotten from my boots on the ground. Apparently, 71 00:04:54,040 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: Mike the Leprechaun attempted to waltz in to the station midday, wearing, 72 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,799 Speaker 1: from what I'm told, a green outfit that screams I 73 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: lost a bet with a Saint Patrick's Day parade. I 74 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: somehow lost the bet, and here I am so in 75 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: my head that cartoon bubble over my head. I'm sure 76 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: Mallard prop guy will probably make some AI thing out 77 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: of this, But in my head, Mike the Leprechaun's got 78 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: a shamrock shirt on, possibly one of those fake beards, 79 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: and he's likely carrying a pot of gold replica, not 80 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: a real pot of gold, but a pot of gold 81 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: replica he bought at Party City before they went out 82 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: of business, and he's jingling louder than a slot machine 83 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 1: in Vegas paying out. Of course, they don't actually give 84 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: the coins anymore, but if they did, you know that 85 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: sound they make where you want a jackpot for Some 86 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: of this is just in my head. 87 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 3: So what happens next? So I'll tell you what happens next. 88 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: The daytime crew, those poor coffee addicted souls who were 89 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: stuck in stiff daytime radio, they thought they were being invaded. 90 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: I'm convinced the people that worked during the day at 91 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: the company thought they were being invaded by a deranged 92 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: soap mascot who was going to throw Irish spring, bars 93 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: of Irish spring like hand grenades at them, and it 94 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 1: would explode and they'd be covered in Irish spring. Now 95 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: turning the page two. So this of course triggered a 96 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: wild chain reaction. Of course it did. Now keep in mind, 97 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,239 Speaker 1: I'm sleeping while this is going on. Well, some of management, 98 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: I want to be clear, not all of management. Some 99 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: of management went deaf con one. They didn't reach out 100 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: to me and asked me what happened or what I 101 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: knew about the situation. They made some assumptions. They made 102 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: some assumptions without talking to me. So I'm told there 103 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: was an email Shane that was bouncing around and might 104 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: as well have had the subject line urgent unidentified leprechaun 105 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: in the lobby. 106 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 3: Of course limited joking. 107 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: Now, from what I've heard, and a lot of this 108 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: is second hand, and much of what you hear secondhand 109 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: is embellished, some of the daytime shifters likely need a 110 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: miniature horse, some kind of therapy animal from the Leprechaun 111 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: paying a visit. Think of a remake of the Clint 112 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: Eastwood movie Escape from Alcatraz Island, except this is a 113 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: horror movie script written by a Celtic fan who just 114 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: watched Jason Tatum go snap, crackle pop his achilles anyway 115 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. So Hr is probably freaking out because 116 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: Mike's asking everyone, you know, if they've seen his magic 117 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: Shealey for all I know, because he said, you know, 118 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: he's a fun guy, he's a goofball, He's a character. 119 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: We love characters, and Mike the Leprechaun as a character. 120 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: Now I didn't know this until I met him. You know, 121 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: Mike was probably offering the Midday Crew Leprechaun blessings and 122 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: all that for a better ratings book. 123 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 3: So we assume we don't know for sure. 124 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: We assume Michael Leprecaun was trying to pitch a segment 125 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,679 Speaker 1: called Shamrock Shake Sports Talk right there, in the Smurf kitchen, 126 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: the bright blue smurf kitchen at the hallowed Fox Sports 127 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: Radio building. 128 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 3: Now, the cherry on top. 129 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: Of this Irish stew of insanity is the text message 130 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: I got from someone who will remain. 131 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 3: Nameless in management. 132 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: You know, the suits, the guys who think overnight radio 133 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: it's all just fun and you know, just some frivolity 134 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: and all that, and they don't take it that seriously. 135 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: So the message is essentially dripping with the corporate speak, 136 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: you know, typical rage and the vibe. 137 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 3: I God, I was somewhat annoyed by this. 138 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: Because it made it seem like I personally told Mike 139 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: the Leprechaun to storm the castle, storm the tressel u 140 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: Irish Leprechaun. 141 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 3: The vibe was, hey, mallor control your callers. 142 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 2: Now. 143 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: No one asked me anything about They just like sent 144 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: me back like essentially, control your callers. This is a 145 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: professional operation, not some kind of odd renaissance fair. So yeah, 146 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, right, you know, like tell that 147 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: to the guy who's been calling the show for a 148 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: couple of years now, Mike the leprechan claiming essentially he's 149 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: probably got a direct line to the sweet spirit, the 150 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: ghost of Red Arbach. I don't doubt that he's probably 151 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: got that. So story continues, and clearly, before I get 152 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: going any further, Mike the Leprechaun clearly thinks time zones 153 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: work like a mythical pot of gold. 154 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 3: The fact that he would show up that early, so. 155 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: Again he's got the daytime staff running for cup like 156 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 1: in my head, like they're dodging, like TJ. Watt is 157 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: decided he wanted to blitz the studio, and so now 158 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: I'm the one. I'm the one getting the stinky from 159 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 1: the you know, the management people like you know, and 160 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, what are you doing? I did not 161 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: I did not lead anyone down this path. This is 162 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 1: like blaming. If I'll use this, I used TJ. Watt 163 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: as an example. This is like blaming Mike Tomlin for 164 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers getting a one year deal with the Seilers. 165 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: Like listen, I've done a lot of crazy things. It's 166 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 1: part of being a radio guy. I did not create 167 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: the chaos. I was just being polite. Mike had been 168 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: begging to come. 169 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 3: To the studio. 170 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: He had reached out to me, and I gave him 171 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: the date. We went back and forth on dates. I said, 172 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: that's the date I'll be there. This is the time 173 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: roughly we'll be there. And you know, I didn't create 174 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: the cast. I'm just commenting on it. I'm doing the 175 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: commentary on the chaos. So and again, a lot of 176 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: this happened. I wasn't there. I was miles and miles away, 177 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: bunkered at the Malor Mansion. And according to the building 178 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: security guard, who I have no idea, like, I'm there 179 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: at night, the security guards at night are barely there. 180 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: They're usually on food runs or they're sleeping or playing 181 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: on their phone. So, according to the security at the building, 182 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: Mike the Leprechaun was about as charming as getting a 183 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: flat tire on the four to zero five freeway here 184 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: in LA and rush hour like he apparently scared the 185 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: daylights out of the security And I really don't know 186 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: why when I met him, because we've had crazier, zanier, 187 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: wacky people that have walked in and visited us on 188 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: the show. And you know, listen, I love the people 189 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: that are part of the show and the characters that 190 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: make the show what it is, and some of you 191 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: are out there. I've met some people on the spectrum. 192 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: But you've all been very polite for the most part. 193 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: You're just over the top and you're extroverts, and I'm 194 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: an introvert, so I don't really understand that world. But 195 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 1: I appreciate you for supporting what we do here, the 196 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: product that we put out on a daily basis. And 197 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: without you, we don't get to go into the factory. 198 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: So the people during the day were all freaked out. 199 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: Way bottom line here, bottom line. So HR is probably 200 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: writing a new iHeartRadio employee handbook, chapter titled leprechan Protocol. 201 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: And I want to. 202 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 3: Circle back to what I had said earlier. 203 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: Listen, I do love the enthusiasm, and I have said 204 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: it for many, many years, and I will continue to 205 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: say it. Radio just means a little more to people 206 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 1: that listen at night. That is special. It's something again 207 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: that we don't just toss to the side, and it's 208 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: something that the daytime crew will never understand unless they've 209 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 1: done overnights and done the nighttime shift. And now listen, 210 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 1: if you work the daytime shift, you get paid a 211 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: lot more money, They treat you pretty good, You get 212 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: to go on trips and they you know, they'll send 213 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: you to the Super Bowl and all that, so that 214 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: those are all cool things and it's just a little 215 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: bit different now. That said that said, for every man, 216 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: woman and child, you should know that you cannot just 217 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: storm the FSR studios like it's the Battle of Bunker Hill, 218 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: like Mike the Leprechaun. 219 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 3: It is a place of business. There are rules. 220 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: I've told many of you that have come by, like 221 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: normally you can come by and you. 222 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 3: Can only stay for it the most an hour, that's it. 223 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: And we've had everyone from Sean the hood Guy, Robbie 224 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:03,239 Speaker 1: the Mariner fan, We've had Sir for Todd the comedian 225 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: that has come by, and of course Jays Scoop has 226 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: been in many times the Great inca terror and for 227 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: the most part, everyone followed the rules. This is the 228 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: first time I can recall that something like this has happened. 229 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: No one's ever shown up that early, all right, that's 230 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: never happened. There was one incident, whether there were a 231 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: couple of things that happen. We had robbed the ambassador 232 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: of Bakersfield, God bless him, and he brought a buddy 233 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: of his who, unfortunately we had to to send away 234 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: shortly after they arrived. He was a little intoxicated and 235 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: making some people in the building uncomfortable. So obviously you 236 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: don't want to have someone in there that's making other 237 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: people uncomfortable because that's become his issue. And so I'll 238 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: kick you out right away. I'll kick you out right away. 239 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: And there was also God, I forget it. I think 240 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: it was like, I'm not gonna even give her name 241 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: because I don't want trouble. I don't want to get sued. 242 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: But there was a listener years ago, a female listener, 243 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: who brought some red velvet cake and it was delicious, 244 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: and she was really nervous, and I get it, you know, 245 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: it's weird, you're in a new environment. And she was 246 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: very nice, young lady, and as I remember she, she 247 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: was really shy. And then she went into the bathroom, 248 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: the powder room, and she came out of the powder 249 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: room and was bouncing off the walls, just like the 250 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: most interesting person in the world. And I don't know 251 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: for sure that she did what I think she did 252 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: in the bathroom, but I wouldn't be shocked if something 253 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: was snorted, if you know what I mean. Because it 254 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: was a total metamorphosis, like next level metamorphosis, and so 255 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: something happened. I don't know what she was doing, but 256 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: I'll never really probably know. But man, so the point 257 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: we mentioned the bottom line here, So now management's likely 258 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: got me on a very short leash and I wasn't 259 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: exactly their favorite night owl to begin with. Right, So 260 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: now I can add having having an email chain sent 261 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: to the company employees and a angry text message. I 262 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: can add that to years ago having my male band 263 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: for not one, not two, not three, not four, no five? 264 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 3: How about six months? Again, nothing I did. 265 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: So Doc Mike, who doesn't really call a show much anymore, 266 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: he still texts me or calls me every once in 267 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: a while off the air. 268 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 3: So Doc Mike from Chicago, you got the Doc. 269 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: He's the guy famously during the pandemic who was booking 270 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: urine therapists and other guests on the air for urine therapy. 271 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: So my man, Doc's been a semi regular contributor for 272 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: when he's not in jail or traveling around for twenty years. 273 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: Over twenty years, Doc's been a fan of the show, 274 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 1: and so he goes way back, we go by him. 275 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: Doc was a young guy. He's an old guy now. 276 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: I was middle aged when he started listening. I was 277 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: really an old guy. I've been doing this a long time. 278 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: So Doc famously sent a goat head in the mail 279 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: and so one of the management people got very upset 280 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 1: with me, and this was rightfully. So this, you know, 281 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: the thing that happened with Mike the Leprek, and I 282 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: feel that in many ways that was an overreaction. But 283 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,199 Speaker 1: with Doc, Mike like the male thing. And again this 284 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 1: is another situation where I did not tell him to 285 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: do it, but Doc sent a goatthead, which would have 286 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: been fine if the package had not started dripping blood 287 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: in the mail room. And so that's like a hasmat situation. 288 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 1: Ove So the iHeart and mail people as you would 289 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: imagine if there's a package with someone's name on it 290 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: and there's like some kind of fluid which may or 291 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: may not be blood tripping out of it. Like did 292 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: somebody send body parts to Ben? Well, it was body parts, 293 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 1: but it was from a goat farm somewhere in Iowa. 294 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: And this is again a situation where I didn't tell Doc. 295 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 3: To sent it. 296 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: I told him I don't need a goathhead. He said, 297 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:23,959 Speaker 1: you need a godhead. I'm going to send you a GoAhead. 298 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: This was back before the Cubs had won the World Series. 299 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: So Doc and when Doc assumed that by us getting 300 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: a GoAhead, the Cubs would win the World Series, which, oh, 301 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 1: by the way, it took about god. I think this 302 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: was like three when they were on that playoff run. 303 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: So it took another thirteen years for it to work. 304 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: But eventually it did work. Eventually it did work. 305 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 3: So I have a public service announcement. This is a. 306 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 1: Fifth hour ben malor public service announcement for all future 307 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: pe ones who are fortunate enough to get the invite 308 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: or force themselves and invite themselves and get the chance 309 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: to walk in the hollowed hallways of Fox Sports Radio Studios. 310 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 1: This is not Disneyland, it's not Universal Studios, it's not SeaWorld. 311 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 3: Although some of. 312 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: The people that work there look like they could work 313 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: at all of those places, or be attractions at all 314 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 1: of those places. 315 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 3: We have a lot of goofy people. There's a few 316 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 3: of us that look like shambou So that's a dated reference. 317 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: But anyway, so just in the future, if you're coming 318 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 1: to visit the nighttime show, don't go during the day. 319 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: Leave the daytime people alone. Those sweet spirits. During the 320 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: day they cannot handle you. They don't get me, and 321 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: they certainly can't handle you. And I'm convinced it's going 322 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 1: to take a long time for them to recover from 323 00:19:54,760 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: what we are calling the Sheleley Shenanigans that took place. 324 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 1: So Mike was very kind, Michael Leprechaun. He brought a 325 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 1: lot of gifts. That Lorena was away. You know, Coop's 326 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: been gone forever, so they were all gone. But I 327 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 1: was there, and it's my name's on the show, it's 328 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 1: my product. And Mike was apologetic. He had a different 329 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: version of events than I got from management. I wish 330 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 1: I'd known that I would have let management know his 331 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: side of the story. They only got one side of 332 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: the story, and that's the side they chose to go with. 333 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: He apologized. 334 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 3: He said he was just excited. He wanted to see 335 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 3: where the studio was. 336 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: He booked a hotel room down the street because he 337 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: wanted to be right there. And I still remember when 338 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: I went. We had a meeting place and I told Mike, 339 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 1: I said, listen, it was forty five minutes in the show. 340 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 1: I said, Mike, I'm going to go out. I'm going 341 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: to open the door, come in. And so I opened 342 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: the door looking for Mike to Leprecaun. Now I've never 343 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: met him at this point. This was at night after 344 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: the whole daytime fireworks show, which is appropriate this Fourth 345 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: of July weekend. So Mike the Leprechaun is standing on 346 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: the other side at the corner of Sepalveta and Ventura, 347 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: so he's on He's across the street from the studios 348 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: on Sepulveda. He then I'm like, I'm waving at him 349 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 1: because i only have a couple of minutes I gotta 350 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: get back in the studio, And so I'm waving at 351 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: Mike the Leprechaun frantically trying to get him to cross 352 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 1: the street, very busy street in Los Angeles in the 353 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: San Fernando Valley, and Sherman Oak's there to get him 354 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: to cross a crossover and Mike is talking to like 355 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: some homeless guy at the bus stop across the street 356 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: and decides, well, I'm not going to walk down to 357 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: the crosswalk, and I'm certainly not going to run down 358 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: to the crosswalk. I'm just gonna slowly walk across Sepulvita Boulevard. 359 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: And he took us time. La La la la, la 360 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: la la. Because leprechauns can't walk fast are leprechauns. He's 361 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: the world's tallest leprechaun, And so he slowly walked across 362 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: the street and I escorted him in. He was carrying 363 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: bags of gifts because that's what lepercuns do, and there 364 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: you go. So I did inform Mike the leprekhn because 365 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: he was apologetic, and he's a big fan of the 366 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: show and he's probably gonna hear this at some point. 367 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 3: Maybe he's listening right now. 368 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 1: We told Mike, we said, listen, we're not banning you. 369 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: You're getting us in trouble. We're not going to banish you. 370 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 1: We're not going to send you to the end of 371 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 1: the rainbow, although we'd like if you could go to 372 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: the end of the rainbow and send us some gold coins. 373 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: But he did bring some chocolate gold coins, so that 374 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: was very kind of him. All Right, we have a 375 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: little time left, a little time left on the on 376 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: the pod, so some food he fun. I thought this 377 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 1: would be appropriate as I did a bonus Mallard monologue 378 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: there on Mike the Leprechaun. Foody fun very popular. I know, 379 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: nico A big fan of this in Vancouver loves it, 380 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: and many of the people we met at the Vancouver 381 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: Meet and Greet a while back, big fans, big fans. 382 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: So this is a day in America where it's all 383 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: about barbecue, burgers, hot dogs and all those are traditional 384 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: foods eaten this Independence Day weekend. The taste of America. 385 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: It is interesting to note that is you might imagine 386 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty years ago, things were a little 387 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: bit different. In fact, not just a little bit different, 388 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: they were a hell of a lot different back back 389 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: in the day. And twenty years is a generation. So 390 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 1: if you go back. 391 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 3: Two hundred and fifty years, let's do some malor math 392 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 3: on that. 393 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:09,239 Speaker 1: Two hundred and fifty divided by twenty, so that is 394 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: twelve and a half generations ago, twelve and a half 395 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:19,360 Speaker 1: generations on American soil, since the beginning of modern America. 396 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 1: The Founding Fathers twelve and a half generations ago, their 397 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: taste buds were not quite like our taste buds, and 398 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: they loved booze. Now we still love booze, and we're 399 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 1: told those that have studied the Founding Fathers. They celebrated 400 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: the July fourth Light, which I guess it wasn't really 401 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 1: ratified till a couple days after that, but four whatever. 402 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: So they celebrated with amounts of large amounts of booze, 403 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: so large that beer drinking Brian thought it. 404 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 3: Was a little too much back in his day. 405 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: And yeah, so very expensive oysters as well, and if 406 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: you compare it to today's palette. 407 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 3: Many of the Founding fathers I saw this this week. 408 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 3: I thought this was interesting. 409 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: Now. A lot of them resided right near the Delaware 410 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: and the Potomac Rivers, a couple of famous bodies of 411 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: water in America, and they were ahead of their time. 412 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 3: They loved the term farmed a table. 413 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: Now. Back then they just called it eating, but that 414 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: was the norm, farmed a table. There weren't grocery stores everywhere, 415 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: and in fact there were nowhere, and mostly ate seafood. 416 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: That was the main food back in the day. And 417 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: they were not eating Maryland crab cakes like sports with 418 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: Coleman or Maine lobster rolls like or lobster lobster like 419 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: our friends in Maine led by you know who, that's right, 420 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: whoopee Pie Blair never heard of this cracker. So the 421 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: Founding Fathers consumed crab oyster and something called shad sh 422 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: a d which apparently from what I have read, is 423 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: that was like that was George Washington his go to 424 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: Like George Washington loved that, love that, and I think 425 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: that's a fishing bait company. Now, I believe that's a 426 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: I think that's a fishing bait company. Now. The other 427 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: thing they love to eat is or eight. The founding 428 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: fathers was turtle soup, Holy teenage mutant, ninja turtles, batman. 429 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 1: They ate that with great abundance, great abundance stuff. By 430 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: the way, shad fish, they say it's the term shad 431 00:26:52,840 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: refers to the several species within the Alosenia subfamily, primarily 432 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: found along the Atlantic coast of North America and all 433 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: the way from Newfoundland in Canada to Florida, and it's 434 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: also been introduced in the Pacific coast. These days typically 435 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 1: have green blue and green back, silvery sides, white underbelly. 436 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 3: They grow to be as much as twelve pounds. 437 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: That was the fish that George Washington like, I've seen 438 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: these here in SoCal Catalina Island. I swear I've seen those, 439 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: unless I was imagining it, I have seen that fish 440 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: it looks very, very familiar. So that's what George Washington ate. 441 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: That's what a lot of these guys ate. And we 442 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: are told the turtles were harvested from bodies of fresh water. 443 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,719 Speaker 1: John Adams who would become known as a beer meister, 444 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: John Adams, who who was not very successful at beer 445 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 1: back in his day. He dined on salmon and turtle 446 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: soup with his wife, the lovely Abigail in seventeen seventy six, 447 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: topped the meal off with her famous apple pie dowdy, 448 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 1: which we are told of some kind of cobbler. Of 449 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: all the food so far, the only thing I would 450 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: eat would be the cobbler. Not a fan of the 451 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: crab oyster, the shad fish, not into that. The turtle soup, No, 452 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: I'm good. So the only thing I eat so far 453 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: is the apple pan dowdy from Abigail, the Great Abigail Adams. 454 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: They ate peas, don't really like peas. That was they 455 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: boiled the potatoes. I'd eat the potatoes. Eat the potatoes. 456 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: I wonder if they did mashed potatoes. Probably not. It's 457 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: calling potatoes back then. And so those were the common 458 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: side dishes. And they had the hoe cakes whatever that 459 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: is cornmeal hoe cakes, Okay, So I'd eat the corn 460 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: cake or the cornmeal cakes, the apple pandowdy, I'd eat 461 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: the boiled potatoes. 462 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 3: So I could eat some of this stuff. 463 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: If I was invited, if we went on that TV 464 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: show Quantum Leap, and we went back to the beginning 465 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: with the Founding fathers, I would be able to eat 466 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: at the tab. I wouldn't eat the main dish, but 467 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: I eat the side dish. Now, the gentlemen who were 468 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: from further south when America was from James Madison, for example, 469 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: from what we read, they enjoyed pork. 470 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 3: It's the other white meat that like rice. I could 471 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 3: eat rice. They had peas called hopin John. I do 472 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 3: have no idea what that is. 473 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 1: Now. My man Benjamin Franklin, good old Ben Franklin, he loved, 474 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: of course turkey. Yeah, I eat turkey. My mom loved 475 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: turkey too. That's probably why she named me Benjamin Franklin. 476 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,479 Speaker 1: She loved Actually I was named after a relative. But anyway, 477 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: so there you go. They say that all of these gentlemen, 478 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:05,479 Speaker 1: the founding father they downed their amazing amounts of crab 479 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: and oysters. 480 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 3: And pork and Turkey and. 481 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: All this stuff with massive amounts of alcohol. They also 482 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: had some desserts as well. John Adams, as you might imagine, 483 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: was a big booze guy. He loved morning booze, loved hardsider, hardsider, 484 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: George Washington, loved all kinds of beer, loved it. Thomas Jefferson, 485 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 1: you know, he had that French palate, and so he 486 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: liked all that annoying French food like champagne. Now, the 487 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: interesting thing that I saw here about Thomas Jefferson, and 488 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: this is where we should really thank Thomas Jefferson. He 489 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: brought a lot of foods to America because they had 490 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: you know, the Native Americans were here with the American 491 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: foods from England and from Europe and all that. So 492 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: from France he brought. And this is said to be 493 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: of all the foods that Thomas Jefferson brought, this is 494 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: said to be the one that was his biggest accomplishment, 495 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: ice cream. He is said to have made ice cream 496 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: a desirable, beloved institution in America. And now it was 497 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: considered an upper class delicacy around that time, and a 498 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: lot of the founding fathers of James Madison Hamilton, they 499 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 1: loved ice cream, right, they loved it. And there was 500 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: you know, there's other stuff. There was Martha, George Washington's wife. 501 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: Martha made a amazing cake. It was like a spiced 502 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: cake supposedly had all kinds of nuts and fruits and 503 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: booze and all that. So there you go. All right, 504 00:31:55,240 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: we'll get out on that. Have a wonderful Fourth of 505 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: July weekend.
