Speaker 1: we are doing in the month of January twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1: We will not be doing another podcast in the month

26
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: of January. Is our final show in January of twenty

27
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: twenty five, and we celebrate National Fun at Work Day today. Yeah,

28
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: today being Friday, and what a wonderful holiday. You gotta

29
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: have fun. Well, most people would say, if you want

30
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: to boost team around, just let people off from work,

31
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: and that would be a great way. A modern way

32
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: to make sure that people have a good day at

33
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: work is to not actually work. Now, I do have

34
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: a random fun factoid which is not the word of

35
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: the day. I'm gonna get to the word of the

36
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: day in a minute, but the random fun factoid is

37
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: that the word office. I got to go into the office.

38
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: I have a studio in the Malor Mansion, which sometimes

39
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: I say is the studio. Sometimes I say it's the

40
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: remote radio station. But sometimes I'll say it's the office

41
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: because I got to do stuff in there that's like

42
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: adult stuff, you know, I got to go adulting. But

43
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: the word office goes all the way back to thirteen

44
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: ninety five. That is the first time the word office appeared.

45
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: So think of all the different generations of our brothers

46
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: and sisters that have come before us that had to

47
00:02:54,360 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: deal with the word office. Now. Jeffrey Chaucer an English poet,

48
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: and he didn't even know it. The guy was an

49
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: author philosopher back in the thirteen hundreds. He first used

50
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: the word office as a place to describe a place

51
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: where business transactions take place. And that was in the

52
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: Canterbury Tales in thirteen ninety five. But you got to

53
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: wait all the way up until the seventeen hundreds. The

54
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: first actual office building was built in the seventeen hundreds,

55
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: the Old Admiralty, a three story building complex with offices

56
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: and board They had a boardroom, they had apartments and

57
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: all that for the lords of the Admiralty. I think

58
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm mispronouncing that, but anyway, you get the point. You

59
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: get the point. So the couple of random fun facts,

60
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: and there's some other thing. It's Nolan Ryan's birthday today,

61
00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: Happy birthday, Nolan Ryan. The record that will last and last,

62
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: They'll have to be a unicorn that comes along to

63
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: pass Nolan Ryan by who is the greatest strike up

64
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: got pitched twenty seven years, twenty seven years. Win the

65
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame nineteen ninety nine. I believe he was

66
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. So he's been in the

67
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. But he's worked as an executive in

68
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: baseball and all that for years. I don't think he's

69
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: working anywhere now. Was he seventy seventy eight? I believe

70
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: something like that. I think he's seventy eight. But Nolan Ryan,

71
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: Happy birthday him. And let's get to the meat of

72
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: the matter. On today's pod, We've got cow Abunga, dude

73
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: phone a friend, and also very good, very good. Plus

74
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: that we have time, we'll get to the idiom of

75
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: the week, the idiom of the week first, though, this

76
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: being Friday morning, hopefully had a chance to hear the

77
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: overnight show, which we did many hours ago, and in

78
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: the overnight show we ended with some gusta No, we

79
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: had some solid moments. The fact that weed Man Hippie

80
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: is in a hospital in Miami because of some kind

81
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: of viral infection that he has because his mouth is

82
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: all messed up and it spread to his eyes, so

83
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: he's all messed up, all jacked up, and he's still

84
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: called up from the hospital to take part in lame

85
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: jokes of the week while there were other people in

86
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: his hospital room. You know, you're weed man, hippie. You

87
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: don't get your own room at the hospital. I don't

88
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: get my own room at the hospital. I don't know

89
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: anybody get their own room. You gotta be like a

90
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: big time rock star to get your own room at

91
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: the hospital. So he's in the hospital room with someone

92
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: else from multiple people, and he's laughing at the jokes

93
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: while he's getting medicated and all. It was pretty amusing.

94
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: But the Cowabunga, dude, Hey, you heard it. You know

95
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: exactly what I'm talking about. So we had William from

96
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: central Florida, kind of in between Orlando and Tampa, and

97
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: he was matched up against Don in Bizmarck. So that

98
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: was the matchup in Sports Jeopardy, The Great Sports Jeopardy

99
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: and Florida versus Bismarck, North Dakota. That the match up

100
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: basic sports Trivia Sports Jeopardy. So simple and yet so hard,

101
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: so so hard. If you heard it again, you know

102
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: exactly what I am talking about. But maybe not, maybe not.

103
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: So the question that will be remembered. I will do

104
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: the Bennies in a couple of months, and we'll have

105
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: to make sure that this ends up somewhere in there.

106
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: I would be shocked if it doesn't. So this the

107
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: latest episode of sports talk radio Callers Say the Darnedest

108
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: Things during game shows. It was a six hundred dollars

109
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: question in Sports Jeopardy, and if you didn't hear it,

110
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: I'll give you the question. Tim Duncan though he had

111
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: hit or thought rather thought he had hit a game

112
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: winning buzzer beater to win the game, but with zero

113
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: point four seconds put back on the clock, that allowed

114
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: future NBA head coach, This, this future NBA head coach

115
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: to hit the real game winner for the Lakers. So

116
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: that was the question, rather basic right, rather basic question.

117
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: And my man, Don Don I love you. Don't be upset.

118
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: Don You made my day. Your answer made my day.

119
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: So again I said, allowed this future NBA head coach

120
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: to hit the real game winner for the Lakers. And

121
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: my guy Don in beautiful Bismarck said Bart Scott. Bart

122
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: Scott was the correct answer. That's right, that's right. The

123
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: former Jets linebacker, who I guess does radio stuff or

124
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: something I don't know. Everyone's got a media job somewhere.

125
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: Bart Scott was the answer. I'll never forget when the

126
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: NFL player hit the zo point four second shot to

127
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: win an NBA game, it was It was amazing. So

128
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: I made my day and almost as much as hearing

129
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: weed Man from the hospital. And we had our friend

130
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: Dick from Dayton to call in and inform us that

131
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: one of his dear friends has been put in a

132
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: convalescent home. What a terrible way to go out right,

133
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: and some people are forced to do that. Sucks, But

134
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: that's the story. With the Dixter giving us the inside skinny.

135
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: Now we've got business to take care of. There are

136
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: no NFL games, no NFL games this weekend in terms

137
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl obviously is not played until following Sunday,

138
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: February ninth. This is our last day of January. It

139
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: is an emotional roller coaster on Benny Versus the Penny.

140
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: Now I have been accused in the past of dabbling

141
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: in hyperbole, let me tell you something. This is the

142
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: favorite show that we've done. I love this show of

143
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: all the shows we've done this season. In season two

144
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: of Benny Versus the Penny, this is my favorite. It

145
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: is I love it and had a grand old time

146
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: happy days of heere. We had no games to break down,

147
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: no real football games because no real football games played,

148
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,520

00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: great time. And you can watch the product, the finished

00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: playing a little bit after that, and then we're on

157
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: after the Celtic postgame show at midnight. We're scheduled to

158
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: be on and there'll be a bunch of other showings

159
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: on Saturday, and I think a few on Sunday in

160
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: the morning. Check out Benny Birthus Penny. And there is

161
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: a moment I tease this on the Overnight show last night,

162
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: but there is a moment in the show which is

163
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: dedicated to one of you guys, one of the callers

164
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: to the show, and it was one of the most

165
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: ridiculous things that's happened on the TV show, but it

166
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: was because of the radio show. And I don't want

167
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: to give any more away. I want you to watch

168
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: it or listen to it if you're blind and pretend

169
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: like you're watching and you'll hear all about that. It

170
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: was interesting, very velly thing, shall we say so. Then

171
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 1: after we got done doing the TV show, which we

172
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: gain no games to handicap, but we did a TV

173
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: show about handicapping games. So after that we started meandering

174
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: around the Universal Studios Hollywood back lot. Now we have

175
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: explored this year almost all of the back lot. We

176
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: thought we were doing a little opposition research, and we

177
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: realized that there were several iconic sets that we have

178
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: not found, even though we have gone back and forth.

179
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: What we thought was all of the back lot at

180
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: Universal Studios, Hollywood, but we could not find a couple

181
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: of iconic sets and it was driving us insane. And

182
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: we've only got a few weeks left in the TV show,

183
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: and so we wanted to see everything we could possibly see.

184
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: Check that box right. Who knows if we'll be back.

185
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: I hope we're back. I'm optimistic the show will be

186
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: picked up again. But even if the show is picked

187
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: up again, maybe we won't do the show from Universal Studios.

188
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll do the show somewhere else. You never know.

189
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: So we we were wandering around, and of course I

190
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: don't like talking to anybody, you know, I'm an introvert.

191
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: I do talk radio, but when I'm not doing the show,

192
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, I'm just gonna keep to myself

193
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: and we'll find it and we'll just back we'll backtrack.

194
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: I'm telling Looney, we're walking around. It's quite cold, California cold,

195
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: and we're walking around. He's got a big jacking on.

196
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 1: I've got my uh my work cloath. So we're wandering

197
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: around and we can't find it, and we're really getting

198
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: kind of upset because we we figured it's got to

199
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: be here, somewhere we must be missing, right, We're looking

200
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: through the back of buildings that are fake buildings, and

201
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: we're like, all right, we're gonna find it. And we're

202
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: sniffing around like, you know, we're like a basset hound,

203
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of basket hounds trying to find

204
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: it so we can in find it. And then finally

205
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: Tom Looney not not an introvert. An extrovert, Thom says,

206
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: I whatever, let me just ask this guy. So there

207
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: was a group of dudes that work on the crew.

208
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: They make the the sets or whatever, right they do

209
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: the They fu's around with the sets, and so they're

210
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: sitting in a golf cart. It's kind of killing time.

211
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: You could tell they're killing time. They don't have much

212
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: to do at that point, and so Looney goes over

213
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: and starts smoothing them and he's like, I'm trying to

214
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: find this in particular set. We don't know where is

215
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: it up? Is it up the hill? And one of

216
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: these guys we got very lucky talk about being a

217
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: lucky devil. So one of these guys is like, hey, yeah,

218
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: I know exactly where that is. You want to ride?

219
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: Do we want to ride? Right? Do we look? This

220
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: is called phone a friend you know on who wants

221
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: to be in there. Looney shows the phone of friend

222
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: option and the phone of friend option. We started chatting

223
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: this guy up and he was, you know, wanted to

224
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: watch the TV show. He didn't know about the TV show.

225
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: And he drove us up this massive hill. There were

226
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: all these Universal Studios tram cars that were all over

227
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: the place park because the amusement park wasn't open, And

228
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: so we go up this hill, megawright turn, and boom,

229
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: We're on one of the sets we were looking for.

230
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: And then we keep going and we go through this

231
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: parking lot where they have all these iconic cars. And

232
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: when I say iconic cars, I am talking some of

233
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: the most famous cars that you have ever seen in

234
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: movies and TV shows and they're all side by side.

235
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: It was visually overwhelming. It was like my childhood was

236
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: in front of me under and I was like, WHOA,

237
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: this is crazy. I was trying to process everything and

238
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: all that. We're going to try to get back there

239
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: and do some videos in the next couple of weeks,

240
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: so you guys can see what I'm talking about. It

241
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: was wild, right. We found the set that has all

242
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: the houses that have been used in many, many movies

243
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: over the years, and I don't want to give any

244
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: of that away because we might be doing a video

245
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: from there in the coming weeks. And so the whole

246
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: thing was just great. It was awesome. We didn't have

247
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: to walk this guy he gave us the VIP throw

248
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: and I've always wondered, I've said this, I think on

249
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: this podcast. I don't know the etiquette on the golf

250
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: carts in Hollywood. Everyone's got a golf cart. Me and Looney,

251
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: don't we walk like a couple of puttzes. We're wandering

252
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: around and we see golf carts everywhere, Like, well, can

253
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: anyone just go use a golf cart? Do you have

254
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: to have? Like is everyone have their own golf cart?

255
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: There's no way everyone could have their own golf cart

256
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: because there's not enough golf carts for the people. And

257
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: it seems like people are just coming and going. And

258
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: then there's like a number system and maybe there's a

259
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: colored system meaning that the certain colors are for certain

260
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: parts of Universal Studios and all that, and we don't know.

261
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: So we were like, well, stay away, We'll just stay away.

262
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: But we did get a ride. It was very cool.

263
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: So now we know everywhere we need to go. We

264
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: know everything that we did not get to that we

265
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: can still get to. So consider it done. We'll get there.

266
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: In the company. Now, we did film a video today.

267
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: We went back to the New York Skyline downtown Manhattan

268
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: and they were filming. Oh you'll see, there were a

269
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: bunch of really cool cars there too. And they were

270
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: filming some I think it was a commercial, but it

271
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: might have been a might have been more than that.

272
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: We're not really even sure they were. They were hard

273
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: at work putting the the logos on the glass because

274
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: every time they filmed something new, the people that come

275
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: in that make the sets have to change everything out

276
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: and they're there when we're there. And did you see

277
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: any actual shooting of the show. But they were putting

278
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: all the sets together, which was a monumental, monumental amount

279
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: of work, and it was it was pretty cool. So

280
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: we were doing that, wandering around and whatnot. Now, I

281
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: wanted to mention this since Loraina started on the show

282
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: back in the day, Since Lorena started on the show,

283
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: she has become very popular with some of you boys.

284
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: All Right, she gets a lot more mail than me.

285
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: I have been usurped. I don't get as much. I

286
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: get a little I get a little bit. I get

287
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: my prison mail. A couple of you guys take care

288
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: of me, and I appreciate that. But Lorena, I don't

289
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: know what it is about her. Apparently she's got some

290
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: things I don't have, and she's the beneficiary of a

291
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: lot of food, a lot of candy, a lot of

292
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: stuffed animals and random things. And I don't even know.

293
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: I mean, there's boxes coming in and it's got my

294
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: name on it. It is Ben Malors show. But for Lorraine, now,

295
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: the cool thing is she often will get a lot

296
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,479
Speaker 1: of food and she'll share with the class. So this

297
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: past week, a listener and I'm not sure who I

298
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: would give you credit if I I knew, she didn't.

299
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: I don't think she told me. Maybe she did not forgot.

300
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: So anyway, the listener said, this giant box of Valentine's

301
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: Day candy, chocolates and different snacks for Valentine's Day January,

302
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: still January this week. I know we're going to February

303
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: this weekend. So anyway, this's giant box. And they had

304
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff, and Lorena was showing me the

305
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: many delicious treats that she was given, and I was like,

306
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: that's kind of cool, that's neat. Why not? And one

307
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: of the items I had not had it was strawberry

308
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: frosted pretzels. That's the way I would discover me. You know,

309
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: I have chocolate pretzels, but I've never had strawberry pretzels.

310
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: I have had chocolate covered pretzels. Ya, you've never had any? Yeah, no,

311
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: I never had. You want some? You want some? So

312
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: she gave them a little doggie bag. It was actually

313
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: a ziplock bag. But she gave me a bag with some.

314
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: And I didn't eat it, of course, because I'm fasting,

315
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: so I waited until yesterday. Last night, I broke my

316
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: fast and and I down the the strawberry very good,

317
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: very good, strawberry frosted pretzels. Now it's a good item.

318
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: I don't know that I would go out of my

319
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: way to buy the item, like I thought it was

320
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: a solid item. I don't know that it was the

321
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: greatest thing that I've ever had, But I was breaking

322
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: a fast and all that. So stuff always takes it

323
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: tastes better when you're breaking a fast, and so I

324
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. I thought I thought it was. It was

325
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: an enjoyable snack. So thank you to whoever sent the

326
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: strawberry color covered covered pretzels. It is appreciative. Let's get

327
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: to some foody fun, foody fun. Let's do it. Every

328
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: single week we go bonkers, well almost every week. Last

329
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: week we didn't really go bonkers, but we'll have a bigger,

330
00:19:54,640 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: expanded dance remix of foody fun. These are actual food

331
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: stories because we all got to eat. We all got

332
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: to eat. Will start out with Subway and they have

333
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: that foot long cookie which is pretty popular, so they say,

334
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: you know what, why don't we crank that up a

335
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,959
Speaker 1: couple of notches and Subway is partnering with the people

336
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: at Oreo. That's right, introduce the all new Oreo foot

337
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: long Cookie. Now this is not everywhere, It's at participating locations.

338
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: They claim that this cookie will change your life in

339
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: amazing ways. It served warm and you're supposed to share

340
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: it unless you're a hawser. As my grandfather would say,

341
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: then you'll eat the whole thing. But the Oreo foot

342
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: Long Cookie features a rich chocolate cookie dough and Oreo

343
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: cookie pieces top with sweet vanilla cream and even more

344
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: Oreo cookie pieces on top. Now I'm looking at the

345
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: photo of it. It is not esthetically pleasing. It doesn't

346
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: look like an Oreo. It looks like a chocolate cookie

347
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: with white frosting on top and then oriole pieces on it.

348
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: So anyway, the suggested retail price five dollars, although if

349
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: you live in California you're paying more than five dollars

350
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: for that, according to the interweb, So good luck on that.

351
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: That sounds solid. I don't need to sew it a lot.

352
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: Usually when we travel, we're in a hurry, gotta get

353
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: some food so we'll get the subway going. And yeah,

354
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: I don't know that. I think I had one foot

355
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: long chocolate chip cookie that I split with some other

356
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: people and I thought it was pretty good. Popeyes, Popeye

357

Speaker 1: dollars deal. You get twelve wings or tenders for ten bucks. Boy, guy,

359
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: this inflation is no joke. For twelve wings or tenders.

360
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: Back in my day, you ten bucks, you would get

361
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: like fifty tenders or at least twenty five. Now you

362
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: get twelve, and you better be happy. And that limited

401
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: Is that the same price as a regular shaped pizza?

402
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: Could they really be charged more because they're shaping the

403
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 1: dough like a heart? Is that really worth charging more money?

404
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I probably is, I guess. I mean you

405

Speaker 1: way to get customers back. Less is more, Less is more.

426
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: Starbucks sales went down four percent in the US and

427
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: worldwide in the latest quarter that didn't make Wall Street

428
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: very happy. That did not and Starbucks paying a ridonculous amount.

429
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: There's a record amount to their new CEO who they

430
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:02,399

435
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 1: collect another five million in March. So it's good to

436
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: know that it is not only the world of professional

437
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: sports that is frivolous with money, but also big business

438

445
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: streamline everything, and yeah, okay, good luck, good luck on that.

Speaker 1: it gets even better. But wait, there's more in California.

459
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: And I think this is also true in New York.

460
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: It's not even two four six eight. It's who do

461
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: we appreciate? Inflation? Inflation is who we appreciate, because it's

462
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: even higher than that, my gut. All right, we'll get out.

463
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: We have the Idiom of the week, the Ideum of

464
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: the week, the inneral all the Week card. Here's the

465
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: Adium of the week. More bang for your buck, more

466
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: bang for your buck. That is military slang. It goes back.

467
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: More bang for your buck to World War Two obviously

468
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: means getting solid value. You think Starbucks is getting solid

469
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: value for the ten million dollars signing bonus they gave

470
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: their new CEO, whose idea was to just get rid

471
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: of a bunch of menu items. Yeah, okay, anyway, bang

472
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: for your buck it means better return on investment. And

473
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: it was military slang. A lot of the phrases that

474
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: we have are from the military. This military slang during

475
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: World War Two and it was use to describe the

476
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: effectiveness of those bombs in relation to how much they cost.

477
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: The phrase bigger bang for the buck was used by

478
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: US President Dwight Eisenhower's Secretary of Defense, the Honorable Charles

479
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: Irwin Wilson, in nineteen fifty four. He used it to

480
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: describe the new policy NUK policy rather and it was

481
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: about nuclear weapons. Rather than have a large army, they

482
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: would streamline the army kind of like Starbucks is doing

483
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: their menu, and they would keep the Soviet Union in

484
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: check because they would get more bang for their back,

485
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: a bigger bang for their back with nukes. I have

486
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: no idea whether or not they realized at that time

487
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: that those same nukes they had back in those days

488
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: are these same nukes that we have today because there's

489
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: no way to get rid of them. They're here forever,

490
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: and all it takes is one bad day and then

491
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: game over. We're all cooked. All right, we'll get out

492
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: on that. I know that's a weird, weird flex, but okay, anyway,
