0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:29.640
<v Speaker 1>but we're hanging out. It's a labor of love. It's

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>a labor of love. So today is the last podcast

0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:37.120
<v Speaker 1>we are doing in the month of January twenty twenty five.

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 1>We will not be doing another podcast in the month

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:43.759
<v Speaker 1>of January. Is our final show in January of twenty

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty five, and we celebrate National Fun at Work Day today. Yeah,

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 1>today being Friday, and what a wonderful holiday. You gotta

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 1>have fun. Well, most people would say, if you want

0:01:56.320 --> 0:02:00.120
<v Speaker 1>to boost team around, just let people off from work,

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>and that would be a great way. A modern way

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that people have a good day at

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>work is to not actually work. Now, I do have

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:14.600
<v Speaker 1>a random fun factoid which is not the word of

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:15.679
<v Speaker 1>the day. I'm gonna get to the word of the

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 1>day in a minute, but the random fun factoid is

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:24.359
<v Speaker 1>that the word office. I got to go into the office.

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I have a studio in the Malor Mansion, which sometimes

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 1>I say is the studio. Sometimes I say it's the

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 1>remote radio station. But sometimes I'll say it's the office

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:36.120
<v Speaker 1>because I got to do stuff in there that's like

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>adult stuff, you know, I got to go adulting. But

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 1>the word office goes all the way back to thirteen

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 1>ninety five. That is the first time the word office appeared.

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 1>So think of all the different generations of our brothers

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:54.280
<v Speaker 1>and sisters that have come before us that had to

0:02:54.360 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>deal with the word office. Now. Jeffrey Chaucer an English poet,

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 1>and he didn't even know it. The guy was an

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 1>author philosopher back in the thirteen hundreds. He first used

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:11.640
<v Speaker 1>the word office as a place to describe a place

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:16.960
<v Speaker 1>where business transactions take place. And that was in the

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Canterbury Tales in thirteen ninety five. But you got to

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:25.080
<v Speaker 1>wait all the way up until the seventeen hundreds. The

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>first actual office building was built in the seventeen hundreds,

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the Old Admiralty, a three story building complex with offices

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 1>and board They had a boardroom, they had apartments and

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 1>all that for the lords of the Admiralty. I think

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm mispronouncing that, but anyway, you get the point. You

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 1>get the point. So the couple of random fun facts,

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>and there's some other thing. It's Nolan Ryan's birthday today,

0:03:55.520 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Happy birthday, Nolan Ryan. The record that will last and last,

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 1>They'll have to be a unicorn that comes along to

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>pass Nolan Ryan by who is the greatest strike up

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 1>got pitched twenty seven years, twenty seven years. Win the

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:20.839
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Fame nineteen ninety nine. I believe he was

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:21.840
<v Speaker 1>in the Hall of Fame. So he's been in the

0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Fame. But he's worked as an executive in

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.680
<v Speaker 1>baseball and all that for years. I don't think he's

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:31.680
<v Speaker 1>working anywhere now. Was he seventy seventy eight? I believe

0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:35.479
<v Speaker 1>something like that. I think he's seventy eight. But Nolan Ryan,

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Happy birthday him. And let's get to the meat of

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:43.360
<v Speaker 1>the matter. On today's pod, We've got cow Abunga, dude

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:51.359
<v Speaker 1>phone a friend, and also very good, very good. Plus

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.279
<v Speaker 1>that we have time, we'll get to the idiom of

0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 1>the week, the idiom of the week first, though, this

0:04:57.480 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 1>being Friday morning, hopefully had a chance to hear the

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:04.840
<v Speaker 1>overnight show, which we did many hours ago, and in

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:08.159
<v Speaker 1>the overnight show we ended with some gusta No, we

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.920
<v Speaker 1>had some solid moments. The fact that weed Man Hippie

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 1>is in a hospital in Miami because of some kind

0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.040
<v Speaker 1>of viral infection that he has because his mouth is

0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>all messed up and it spread to his eyes, so

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.160
<v Speaker 1>he's all messed up, all jacked up, and he's still

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 1>called up from the hospital to take part in lame

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:33.479
<v Speaker 1>jokes of the week while there were other people in

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.800
<v Speaker 1>his hospital room. You know, you're weed man, hippie. You

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 1>don't get your own room at the hospital. I don't

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:40.640
<v Speaker 1>get my own room at the hospital. I don't know

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 1>anybody get their own room. You gotta be like a

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.080
<v Speaker 1>big time rock star to get your own room at

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>the hospital. So he's in the hospital room with someone

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>else from multiple people, and he's laughing at the jokes

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.919
<v Speaker 1>while he's getting medicated and all. It was pretty amusing.

0:05:56.080 --> 0:06:01.359
<v Speaker 1>But the Cowabunga, dude, Hey, you heard it. You know

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>exactly what I'm talking about. So we had William from

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.840
<v Speaker 1>central Florida, kind of in between Orlando and Tampa, and

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:15.279
<v Speaker 1>he was matched up against Don in Bizmarck. So that

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 1>was the matchup in Sports Jeopardy, The Great Sports Jeopardy

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 1>and Florida versus Bismarck, North Dakota. That the match up

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:34.360
<v Speaker 1>basic sports Trivia Sports Jeopardy. So simple and yet so hard,

0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 1>so so hard. If you heard it again, you know

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 1>exactly what I am talking about. But maybe not, maybe not.

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:51.240
<v Speaker 1>So the question that will be remembered. I will do

0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 1>the Bennies in a couple of months, and we'll have

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.920
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that this ends up somewhere in there.

0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 1>I would be shocked if it doesn't. So this the

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 1>latest episode of sports talk radio Callers Say the Darnedest

0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:07.159
<v Speaker 1>Things during game shows. It was a six hundred dollars

0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:10.720
<v Speaker 1>question in Sports Jeopardy, and if you didn't hear it,

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you the question. Tim Duncan though he had

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 1>hit or thought rather thought he had hit a game

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.840
<v Speaker 1>winning buzzer beater to win the game, but with zero

0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:26.680
<v Speaker 1>point four seconds put back on the clock, that allowed

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 1>future NBA head coach, This, this future NBA head coach

0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 1>to hit the real game winner for the Lakers. So

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 1>that was the question, rather basic right, rather basic question.

0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>And my man, Don Don I love you. Don't be upset.

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Don You made my day. Your answer made my day.

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:54.120
<v Speaker 1>So again I said, allowed this future NBA head coach

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 1>to hit the real game winner for the Lakers. And

0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:05.840
<v Speaker 1>my guy Don in beautiful Bismarck said Bart Scott. Bart

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Scott was the correct answer. That's right, that's right. The

0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:16.320
<v Speaker 1>former Jets linebacker, who I guess does radio stuff or

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.960
<v Speaker 1>something I don't know. Everyone's got a media job somewhere.

0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Bart Scott was the answer. I'll never forget when the

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:29.200
<v Speaker 1>NFL player hit the zo point four second shot to

0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:33.079
<v Speaker 1>win an NBA game, it was It was amazing. So

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 1>I made my day and almost as much as hearing

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.240
<v Speaker 1>weed Man from the hospital. And we had our friend

0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Dick from Dayton to call in and inform us that

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:45.240
<v Speaker 1>one of his dear friends has been put in a

0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.480
<v Speaker 1>convalescent home. What a terrible way to go out right,

0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:50.160
<v Speaker 1>and some people are forced to do that. Sucks, But

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:55.679
<v Speaker 1>that's the story. With the Dixter giving us the inside skinny.

0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Now we've got business to take care of. There are

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:05.120
<v Speaker 1>no NFL games, no NFL games this weekend in terms

0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 1>of the Super Bowl obviously is not played until following Sunday,

0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.680
<v Speaker 1>February ninth. This is our last day of January. It

0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:16.560
<v Speaker 1>is an emotional roller coaster on Benny Versus the Penny.

0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Now I have been accused in the past of dabbling

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:24.200
<v Speaker 1>in hyperbole, let me tell you something. This is the

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.800
<v Speaker 1>favorite show that we've done. I love this show of

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>all the shows we've done this season. In season two

0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:33.720
<v Speaker 1>of Benny Versus the Penny, this is my favorite. It

0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.560
<v Speaker 1>is I love it and had a grand old time

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 1>happy days of heere. We had no games to break down,

0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.320
<v Speaker 1>no real football games because no real football games played,

0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 1>so we were just hucking it up and having a

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:50.240
<v Speaker 1>great time. And you can watch the product, the finished

0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 1>product of Bennie Versus the Penny. It's already been broadcast

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.240
<v Speaker 1>in some places. Maybe it's being broadcast right now where

0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.360
<v Speaker 1>you are, I know on our hub on inb EC

0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:05.959

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.200

0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.840
<v Speaker 1>playing a little bit after that, and then we're on

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:20.320

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:25.800
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday, and I think a few on Sunday in

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.720
<v Speaker 1>the morning. Check out Benny Birthus Penny. And there is

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:32.440
<v Speaker 1>a moment I tease this on the Overnight show last night,

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 1>but there is a moment in the show which is

0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 1>dedicated to one of you guys, one of the callers

0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:43.680
<v Speaker 1>to the show, and it was one of the most

0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.440
<v Speaker 1>ridiculous things that's happened on the TV show, but it

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.040
<v Speaker 1>was because of the radio show. And I don't want

0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 1>to give any more away. I want you to watch

0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.040
<v Speaker 1>it or listen to it if you're blind and pretend

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 1>like you're watching and you'll hear all about that. It

0:10:56.280 --> 0:11:02.040
<v Speaker 1>was interesting, very velly thing, shall we say so. Then

0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:05.719
<v Speaker 1>after we got done doing the TV show, which we

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:07.720
<v Speaker 1>gain no games to handicap, but we did a TV

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:12.520
<v Speaker 1>show about handicapping games. So after that we started meandering

0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:18.640
<v Speaker 1>around the Universal Studios Hollywood back lot. Now we have

0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>explored this year almost all of the back lot. We

0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 1>thought we were doing a little opposition research, and we

0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:35.280
<v Speaker 1>realized that there were several iconic sets that we have

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:39.440
<v Speaker 1>not found, even though we have gone back and forth.

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:42.080
<v Speaker 1>What we thought was all of the back lot at

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Universal Studios, Hollywood, but we could not find a couple

0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:49.640
<v Speaker 1>of iconic sets and it was driving us insane. And

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.600
<v Speaker 1>we've only got a few weeks left in the TV show,

0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:56.800
<v Speaker 1>and so we wanted to see everything we could possibly see.

0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Check that box right. Who knows if we'll be back.

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 1>I hope we're back. I'm optimistic the show will be

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.040
<v Speaker 1>picked up again. But even if the show is picked

0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:07.160
<v Speaker 1>up again, maybe we won't do the show from Universal Studios.

0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.160
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we'll do the show somewhere else. You never know.

0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:14.200
<v Speaker 1>So we we were wandering around, and of course I

0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:16.439
<v Speaker 1>don't like talking to anybody, you know, I'm an introvert.

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 1>I do talk radio, but when I'm not doing the show,

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, all right, I'm just gonna keep to myself

0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:24.840
<v Speaker 1>and we'll find it and we'll just back we'll backtrack.

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:29.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling Looney, we're walking around. It's quite cold, California cold,

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:31.560
<v Speaker 1>and we're walking around. He's got a big jacking on.

0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:35.559
<v Speaker 1>I've got my uh my work cloath. So we're wandering

0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:38.160
<v Speaker 1>around and we can't find it, and we're really getting

0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.079
<v Speaker 1>kind of upset because we we figured it's got to

0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:42.000
<v Speaker 1>be here, somewhere we must be missing, right, We're looking

0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 1>through the back of buildings that are fake buildings, and

0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.400
<v Speaker 1>we're like, all right, we're gonna find it. And we're

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.920
<v Speaker 1>sniffing around like, you know, we're like a basset hound,

0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:51.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, a couple of basket hounds trying to find

0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:53.720
<v Speaker 1>it so we can in find it. And then finally

0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Tom Looney not not an introvert. An extrovert, Thom says,

0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:00.480
<v Speaker 1>I whatever, let me just ask this guy. So there

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.520
<v Speaker 1>was a group of dudes that work on the crew.

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.760
<v Speaker 1>They make the the sets or whatever, right they do

0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:12.760
<v Speaker 1>the They fu's around with the sets, and so they're

0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.440
<v Speaker 1>sitting in a golf cart. It's kind of killing time.

0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 1>You could tell they're killing time. They don't have much

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.600
<v Speaker 1>to do at that point, and so Looney goes over

0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.520
<v Speaker 1>and starts smoothing them and he's like, I'm trying to

0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.320
<v Speaker 1>find this in particular set. We don't know where is

0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 1>it up? Is it up the hill? And one of

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:30.240
<v Speaker 1>these guys we got very lucky talk about being a

0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:32.920
<v Speaker 1>lucky devil. So one of these guys is like, hey, yeah,

0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I know exactly where that is. You want to ride?

0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Do we want to ride? Right? Do we look? This

0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:40.880
<v Speaker 1>is called phone a friend you know on who wants

0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 1>to be in there. Looney shows the phone of friend

0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:47.480
<v Speaker 1>option and the phone of friend option. We started chatting

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.040
<v Speaker 1>this guy up and he was, you know, wanted to

0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.600
<v Speaker 1>watch the TV show. He didn't know about the TV show.

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:56.240
<v Speaker 1>And he drove us up this massive hill. There were

0:13:56.280 --> 0:14:01.320
<v Speaker 1>all these Universal Studios tram cars that were all over

0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:05.280
<v Speaker 1>the place park because the amusement park wasn't open, And

0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:09.800
<v Speaker 1>so we go up this hill, megawright turn, and boom,

0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:11.720
<v Speaker 1>We're on one of the sets we were looking for.

0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 1>And then we keep going and we go through this

0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:19.440
<v Speaker 1>parking lot where they have all these iconic cars. And

0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.560
<v Speaker 1>when I say iconic cars, I am talking some of

0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.680
<v Speaker 1>the most famous cars that you have ever seen in

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:28.680
<v Speaker 1>movies and TV shows and they're all side by side.

0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:33.520
<v Speaker 1>It was visually overwhelming. It was like my childhood was

0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:36.480
<v Speaker 1>in front of me under and I was like, WHOA,

0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.080
<v Speaker 1>this is crazy. I was trying to process everything and

0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:40.800
<v Speaker 1>all that. We're going to try to get back there

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:43.960
<v Speaker 1>and do some videos in the next couple of weeks,

0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 1>so you guys can see what I'm talking about. It

0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:52.320
<v Speaker 1>was wild, right. We found the set that has all

0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.960
<v Speaker 1>the houses that have been used in many, many movies

0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:58.200
<v Speaker 1>over the years, and I don't want to give any

0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:00.000
<v Speaker 1>of that away because we might be doing a video

0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:05.120
<v Speaker 1>from there in the coming weeks. And so the whole

0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:08.000
<v Speaker 1>thing was just great. It was awesome. We didn't have

0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:11.720
<v Speaker 1>to walk this guy he gave us the VIP throw

0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 1>and I've always wondered, I've said this, I think on

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.640
<v Speaker 1>this podcast. I don't know the etiquette on the golf

0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:21.080
<v Speaker 1>carts in Hollywood. Everyone's got a golf cart. Me and Looney,

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:24.840
<v Speaker 1>don't we walk like a couple of puttzes. We're wandering

0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.280
<v Speaker 1>around and we see golf carts everywhere, Like, well, can

0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:30.120
<v Speaker 1>anyone just go use a golf cart? Do you have

0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:32.640
<v Speaker 1>to have? Like is everyone have their own golf cart?

0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:34.480
<v Speaker 1>There's no way everyone could have their own golf cart

0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 1>because there's not enough golf carts for the people. And

0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:38.640
<v Speaker 1>it seems like people are just coming and going. And

0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 1>then there's like a number system and maybe there's a

0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:46.040
<v Speaker 1>colored system meaning that the certain colors are for certain

0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:49.880
<v Speaker 1>parts of Universal Studios and all that, and we don't know.

0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:52.920
<v Speaker 1>So we were like, well, stay away, We'll just stay away.

0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:55.040
<v Speaker 1>But we did get a ride. It was very cool.

0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:57.160
<v Speaker 1>So now we know everywhere we need to go. We

0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:00.400
<v Speaker 1>know everything that we did not get to that we

0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:04.760
<v Speaker 1>can still get to. So consider it done. We'll get there.

0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:07.240
<v Speaker 1>In the company. Now, we did film a video today.

0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 1>We went back to the New York Skyline downtown Manhattan

0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:16.560
<v Speaker 1>and they were filming. Oh you'll see, there were a

0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.720
<v Speaker 1>bunch of really cool cars there too. And they were

0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.520
<v Speaker 1>filming some I think it was a commercial, but it

0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:24.560
<v Speaker 1>might have been a might have been more than that.

0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.360
<v Speaker 1>We're not really even sure they were. They were hard

0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:30.440
<v Speaker 1>at work putting the the logos on the glass because

0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:32.840
<v Speaker 1>every time they filmed something new, the people that come

0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.400
<v Speaker 1>in that make the sets have to change everything out

0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:40.480
<v Speaker 1>and they're there when we're there. And did you see

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.720
<v Speaker 1>any actual shooting of the show. But they were putting

0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:50.120
<v Speaker 1>all the sets together, which was a monumental, monumental amount

0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.520
<v Speaker 1>of work, and it was it was pretty cool. So

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:57.880
<v Speaker 1>we were doing that, wandering around and whatnot. Now, I

0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:03.200
<v Speaker 1>wanted to mention this since Loraina started on the show

0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.560
<v Speaker 1>back in the day, Since Lorena started on the show,

0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:09.679
<v Speaker 1>she has become very popular with some of you boys.

0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:13.080
<v Speaker 1>All Right, she gets a lot more mail than me.

0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I have been usurped. I don't get as much. I

0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:17.600
<v Speaker 1>get a little I get a little bit. I get

0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:20.800
<v Speaker 1>my prison mail. A couple of you guys take care

0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:24.200
<v Speaker 1>of me, and I appreciate that. But Lorena, I don't

0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.600
<v Speaker 1>know what it is about her. Apparently she's got some

0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:32.240
<v Speaker 1>things I don't have, and she's the beneficiary of a

0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:36.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of food, a lot of candy, a lot of

0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:41.240
<v Speaker 1>stuffed animals and random things. And I don't even know.

0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's boxes coming in and it's got my

0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:48.720
<v Speaker 1>name on it. It is Ben Malors show. But for Lorraine, now,

0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:51.119
<v Speaker 1>the cool thing is she often will get a lot

0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:55.479
<v Speaker 1>of food and she'll share with the class. So this

0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:58.800
<v Speaker 1>past week, a listener and I'm not sure who I

0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:01.160
<v Speaker 1>would give you credit if I I knew, she didn't.

0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't think she told me. Maybe she did not forgot.

0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:09.760
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, the listener said, this giant box of Valentine's

0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Day candy, chocolates and different snacks for Valentine's Day January,

0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:20.200
<v Speaker 1>still January this week. I know we're going to February

0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:22.520
<v Speaker 1>this weekend. So anyway, this's giant box. And they had

0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:26.280
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of stuff, and Lorena was showing me the

0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:29.440
<v Speaker 1>many delicious treats that she was given, and I was like,

0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:33.359
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of cool, that's neat. Why not? And one

0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:35.800
<v Speaker 1>of the items I had not had it was strawberry

0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:39.119
<v Speaker 1>frosted pretzels. That's the way I would discover me. You know,

0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.600
<v Speaker 1>I have chocolate pretzels, but I've never had strawberry pretzels.

0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:45.399
<v Speaker 1>I have had chocolate covered pretzels. Ya, you've never had any? Yeah, no,

0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I never had. You want some? You want some? So

0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:49.200
<v Speaker 1>she gave them a little doggie bag. It was actually

0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:51.159
<v Speaker 1>a ziplock bag. But she gave me a bag with some.

0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:53.240
<v Speaker 1>And I didn't eat it, of course, because I'm fasting,

0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:58.639
<v Speaker 1>so I waited until yesterday. Last night, I broke my

0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:04.879
<v Speaker 1>fast and and I down the the strawberry very good,

0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:08.120
<v Speaker 1>very good, strawberry frosted pretzels. Now it's a good item.

0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:09.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that I would go out of my

0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:11.960
<v Speaker 1>way to buy the item, like I thought it was

0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:15.280
<v Speaker 1>a solid item. I don't know that it was the

0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:18.320
<v Speaker 1>greatest thing that I've ever had, But I was breaking

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.040
<v Speaker 1>a fast and all that. So stuff always takes it

0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:23.919
<v Speaker 1>tastes better when you're breaking a fast, and so I

0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:25.480
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed it. I thought I thought it was. It was

0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:30.199
<v Speaker 1>an enjoyable snack. So thank you to whoever sent the

0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:37.639
<v Speaker 1>strawberry color covered covered pretzels. It is appreciative. Let's get

0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:47.200
<v Speaker 1>to some foody fun, foody fun. Let's do it. Every

0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:51.160
<v Speaker 1>single week we go bonkers, well almost every week. Last

0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:54.400
<v Speaker 1>week we didn't really go bonkers, but we'll have a bigger,

0:19:54.640 --> 0:20:00.520
<v Speaker 1>expanded dance remix of foody fun. These are actual food

0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.920
<v Speaker 1>stories because we all got to eat. We all got

0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:07.840
<v Speaker 1>to eat. Will start out with Subway and they have

0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:11.840
<v Speaker 1>that foot long cookie which is pretty popular, so they say,

0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:14.879
<v Speaker 1>you know what, why don't we crank that up a

0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:18.959
<v Speaker 1>couple of notches and Subway is partnering with the people

0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:26.080
<v Speaker 1>at Oreo. That's right, introduce the all new Oreo foot

0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:30.320
<v Speaker 1>long Cookie. Now this is not everywhere, It's at participating locations.

0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:33.480
<v Speaker 1>They claim that this cookie will change your life in

0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:36.920
<v Speaker 1>amazing ways. It served warm and you're supposed to share

0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:39.520
<v Speaker 1>it unless you're a hawser. As my grandfather would say,

0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:41.840
<v Speaker 1>then you'll eat the whole thing. But the Oreo foot

0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Long Cookie features a rich chocolate cookie dough and Oreo

0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:53.399
<v Speaker 1>cookie pieces top with sweet vanilla cream and even more

0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Oreo cookie pieces on top. Now I'm looking at the

0:20:56.720 --> 0:21:00.920
<v Speaker 1>photo of it. It is not esthetically pleasing. It doesn't

0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:07.280
<v Speaker 1>look like an Oreo. It looks like a chocolate cookie

0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:13.000
<v Speaker 1>with white frosting on top and then oriole pieces on it.

0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:18.360
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, the suggested retail price five dollars, although if

0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:21.680
<v Speaker 1>you live in California you're paying more than five dollars

0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:26.639
<v Speaker 1>for that, according to the interweb, So good luck on that.

0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:29.200
<v Speaker 1>That sounds solid. I don't need to sew it a lot.

0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Usually when we travel, we're in a hurry, gotta get

0:21:34.320 --> 0:21:39.120
<v Speaker 1>some food so we'll get the subway going. And yeah,

0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:41.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that. I think I had one foot

0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:44.359
<v Speaker 1>long chocolate chip cookie that I split with some other

0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:48.920
<v Speaker 1>people and I thought it was pretty good. Popeyes, Popeye

0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:53.359
<v Speaker 1>the Chicken Man. Popeyes has launched a limited time ten

0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:57.600
<v Speaker 1>dollars deal. You get twelve wings or tenders for ten bucks. Boy, guy,

0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:02.040
<v Speaker 1>this inflation is no joke. For twelve wings or tenders.

0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Back in my day, you ten bucks, you would get

0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:13.240
<v Speaker 1>like fifty tenders or at least twenty five. Now you

0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:17.840
<v Speaker 1>get twelve, and you better be happy. And that limited

0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:21.320
<v Speaker 1>time and as always, as always, you know the drill.

0:22:21.480 --> 0:22:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Right then, let's just walk in. This is online exclusive.

0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:27.880
<v Speaker 1>You can't just show up and say here's my money. No, no, no,

0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:29.720
<v Speaker 1>They got to track you and then they'll give you

0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:34.119
<v Speaker 1>the deal. Otherwise, forget about it. El Poio Loco, the

0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Crazy Chicken. There's a Crazy Chicken location, El Poil Loco,

0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:43.120
<v Speaker 1>right across the street from the Fox Sports Radio World

0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:49.679
<v Speaker 1>headquarters and in that particular location, El Poiloko, we have

0:22:49.720 --> 0:22:52.040
<v Speaker 1>seen Magic conson, we have seen Oscar dev A Hoyle.

0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Over the years, a lot of the rich people that

0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:56.639
<v Speaker 1>live up in the hills in bel Air will come

0:22:56.680 --> 0:23:00.520
<v Speaker 1>down where the commoners are to get their chicken at

0:23:00.520 --> 0:23:05.399
<v Speaker 1>that old Poiloco. Poiloco launched a new mango ho a

0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:11.560
<v Speaker 1>narrow chicken nationwide nation wide. Oh yes, they tried this

0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:14.679
<v Speaker 1>last year. We talked about it on this podcast, and

0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:21.440
<v Speaker 1>it is nationwide. Eh eh, I mean I'm okay. I

0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:25.560
<v Speaker 1>don't really need that citrus marinated. Eh. I think it

0:23:25.720 --> 0:23:28.760
<v Speaker 1>sounds better than it is, Like how a narrow that's

0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:32.520
<v Speaker 1>a fun word to say. It's a fun word to say.

0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:41.520
<v Speaker 1>El Poiloco celebrating fifty years, their fiftieth anniversary. They're not everywhere, No, no, no,

0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:44.120
<v Speaker 1>they're not everywhere, but there are a lot of places

0:23:44.119 --> 0:23:45.920
<v Speaker 1>out west. I don't see a poll local back east.

0:23:45.920 --> 0:23:49.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they have many locations, if any back East. Well,

0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:51.919
<v Speaker 1>Valentine's Day is coming up, so fast food restaurants are

0:23:51.920 --> 0:23:55.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to cash in fast food pizza joint, pizza hut.

0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:58.000
<v Speaker 1>They have decided, you know what, the American people need,

0:23:58.680 --> 0:24:05.560
<v Speaker 1>we need to bring back are popular heart shaped pizza. Tadda, Yeah,

0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:09.600
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing that says romance to your significant other then

0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:14.120
<v Speaker 1>bringing them a piping hot pepperoni pizza that is shaped

0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:16.880
<v Speaker 1>like a heart. And you can do that. You can

0:24:16.960 --> 0:24:19.080
<v Speaker 1>change your life in amazing ways. What a romantic you

0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:25.840
<v Speaker 1>will be February eleventh through February seventeenth, and they say

0:24:25.840 --> 0:24:30.800
<v Speaker 1>it's perfect for the Valentine's Day occasion. The heart shaped

0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:36.240
<v Speaker 1>pizza will be available in restaurant or throughout their online

0:24:36.520 --> 0:24:42.000
<v Speaker 1>apps and all that crap. And the suggested starting retail

0:24:42.080 --> 0:24:47.760
<v Speaker 1>price prices may vary eleven ninety nine. Good luck finding

0:24:47.800 --> 0:24:50.200
<v Speaker 1>that for eleven ninety nine. Now I do not have

0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:53.480
<v Speaker 1>the Pizza Hut menu in front of me. I am curious.

0:24:54.119 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Is that the same price as a regular shaped pizza?

0:24:58.760 --> 0:25:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Could they really be charged more because they're shaping the

0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:06.360
<v Speaker 1>dough like a heart? Is that really worth charging more money?

0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I probably is, I guess. I mean you

0:25:10.040 --> 0:25:13.080
<v Speaker 1>really want the pizza like that, but it's your heart

0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:17.200
<v Speaker 1>shaped pepperoni pizza. Wait to go? Now this one right

0:25:17.240 --> 0:25:22.399
<v Speaker 1>in my wheelhouse. Windy's people will break. Windy's have unveiled

0:25:22.560 --> 0:25:29.160
<v Speaker 1>a new thin Mint Frosty. Tada. Yes, Wendy's is partnering

0:25:29.200 --> 0:25:32.119

0:25:36.720 --> 0:25:41.880
<v Speaker 1>starts later this month, February twenty first, so actually we're

0:25:41.880 --> 0:25:44.600
<v Speaker 1>still in January, so we have to wait, but February

0:25:44.640 --> 0:25:49.640
<v Speaker 1>twenty first, and they will combine the two classic fan

0:25:49.800 --> 0:25:55.120
<v Speaker 1>favorite treats, the Frosty and the thin Mint a medley

0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:59.080

0:26:07.920 --> 0:26:10.359
<v Speaker 1>to buy something in the app and then they'll they'll

0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:12.119
<v Speaker 1>throw a bone in your way and get you that

0:26:12.119 --> 0:26:15.520
<v Speaker 1>one dollar Crispy Chicken sandwich. If you're a fan of Starbucks,

0:26:15.560 --> 0:26:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I better let my wife know. Starbucks planning to cut

0:26:18.640 --> 0:26:23.600
<v Speaker 1>thirty percent of its menu thirty percent of its menu

0:26:23.760 --> 0:26:28.320
<v Speaker 1>by the end of well not the end, but by

0:26:28.400 --> 0:26:33.199
<v Speaker 1>late twenty twenty five, and they think this is the

0:26:33.240 --> 0:26:36.879
<v Speaker 1>way to get customers back. Less is more, Less is more.

0:26:37.000 --> 0:26:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Starbucks sales went down four percent in the US and

0:26:41.040 --> 0:26:45.720
<v Speaker 1>worldwide in the latest quarter that didn't make Wall Street

0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:52.040
<v Speaker 1>very happy. That did not and Starbucks paying a ridonculous amount.

0:26:52.040 --> 0:26:56.720
<v Speaker 1>There's a record amount to their new CEO who they

0:26:56.880 --> 0:27:02.399
<v Speaker 1>lured away from Chipotle. Is there a free agency in

0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:06.359
<v Speaker 1>the ceo world or where there is in baseball? Yeah.

0:27:06.400 --> 0:27:09.600
<v Speaker 1>The guy that's in the Starbucks CEO who took over

0:27:09.680 --> 0:27:14.680
<v Speaker 1>just a few days ago, earned a five million dollar

0:27:14.800 --> 0:27:18.280
<v Speaker 1>bonus after one month on the job, and he's gonna

0:27:18.280 --> 0:27:21.679
<v Speaker 1>collect another five million in March. So it's good to

0:27:21.760 --> 0:27:24.159
<v Speaker 1>know that it is not only the world of professional

0:27:24.200 --> 0:27:29.720
<v Speaker 1>sports that is frivolous with money, but also big business

0:27:29.760 --> 0:27:32.080
<v Speaker 1>in America. Now we know this, but Mike, God, do

0:27:32.119 --> 0:27:34.800
<v Speaker 1>you really need that? I mean, I know Starbucks is massive,

0:27:34.840 --> 0:27:37.280
<v Speaker 1>I get that. But so his whole plan is to

0:27:37.320 --> 0:27:40.920
<v Speaker 1>go back to the basics. Ten million bucks. This guy's

0:27:40.960 --> 0:27:46.159
<v Speaker 1>gonna make between January and March a signing bonus of

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:53.040
<v Speaker 1>ten million dollars ten million to decide that we're going

0:27:53.119 --> 0:27:57.400
<v Speaker 1>to get rid of a bunch of products, We're gonna

0:27:57.440 --> 0:28:05.879
<v Speaker 1>streamline everything, and yeah, okay, good luck, good luck on that.

0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to bring back the sharpies and God only

0:28:08.960 --> 0:28:13.640
<v Speaker 1>knows what but there's the news about Starbucks. What else

0:28:13.640 --> 0:28:15.520
<v Speaker 1>do we have? Well, this is actually kind of funny.

0:28:15.880 --> 0:28:20.960
<v Speaker 1>So Denny's is running a promotion for two dollars four

0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:25.440
<v Speaker 1>dollars six dollars eight dollars value menu items, and there

0:28:25.440 --> 0:28:30.639
<v Speaker 1>are multiple reports that have filtered into the foody world

0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:34.920
<v Speaker 1>that Denny's, well, they do have two dollars four dollars

0:28:34.920 --> 0:28:39.040
<v Speaker 1>six dollars eight dollars items. They have only one item

0:28:39.760 --> 0:28:43.600
<v Speaker 1>priced at that price point on their menu. So they're

0:28:43.640 --> 0:28:45.360
<v Speaker 1>promoting you, Oh, come on in, get a couple of

0:28:45.400 --> 0:28:47.680
<v Speaker 1>two dollar items, a couple of four dollars six dollars

0:28:47.680 --> 0:28:50.479
<v Speaker 1>eight doll No, no, they only have one each. And

0:28:51.040 --> 0:28:54.480
<v Speaker 1>it gets even better. But wait, there's more in California.

0:28:55.200 --> 0:28:57.680
<v Speaker 1>And I think this is also true in New York.

0:28:58.800 --> 0:29:01.920
<v Speaker 1>It's not even two four six eight. It's who do

0:29:02.000 --> 0:29:07.080
<v Speaker 1>we appreciate? Inflation? Inflation is who we appreciate, because it's

0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:10.600
<v Speaker 1>even higher than that, my gut. All right, we'll get out.

0:29:10.600 --> 0:29:13.080
<v Speaker 1>We have the Idiom of the week, the Ideum of

0:29:13.120 --> 0:29:17.280
<v Speaker 1>the week, the inneral all the Week card. Here's the

0:29:17.320 --> 0:29:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Adium of the week. More bang for your buck, more

0:29:22.440 --> 0:29:28.560
<v Speaker 1>bang for your buck. That is military slang. It goes back.

0:29:29.000 --> 0:29:33.880
<v Speaker 1>More bang for your buck to World War Two obviously

0:29:33.960 --> 0:29:38.760
<v Speaker 1>means getting solid value. You think Starbucks is getting solid

0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:41.320
<v Speaker 1>value for the ten million dollars signing bonus they gave

0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:44.080
<v Speaker 1>their new CEO, whose idea was to just get rid

0:29:44.120 --> 0:29:47.960
<v Speaker 1>of a bunch of menu items. Yeah, okay, anyway, bang

0:29:48.120 --> 0:29:52.920
<v Speaker 1>for your buck it means better return on investment. And

0:29:52.960 --> 0:29:55.360
<v Speaker 1>it was military slang. A lot of the phrases that

0:29:55.400 --> 0:29:58.120
<v Speaker 1>we have are from the military. This military slang during

0:29:58.120 --> 0:30:01.200
<v Speaker 1>World War Two and it was use to describe the

0:30:01.240 --> 0:30:05.080
<v Speaker 1>effectiveness of those bombs in relation to how much they cost.

0:30:05.400 --> 0:30:09.640
<v Speaker 1>The phrase bigger bang for the buck was used by

0:30:09.760 --> 0:30:16.000
<v Speaker 1>US President Dwight Eisenhower's Secretary of Defense, the Honorable Charles

0:30:16.160 --> 0:30:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Irwin Wilson, in nineteen fifty four. He used it to

0:30:20.920 --> 0:30:26.400
<v Speaker 1>describe the new policy NUK policy rather and it was

0:30:26.720 --> 0:30:29.480
<v Speaker 1>about nuclear weapons. Rather than have a large army, they

0:30:29.520 --> 0:30:32.160
<v Speaker 1>would streamline the army kind of like Starbucks is doing

0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:35.480
<v Speaker 1>their menu, and they would keep the Soviet Union in

0:30:36.040 --> 0:30:38.680
<v Speaker 1>check because they would get more bang for their back,

0:30:39.200 --> 0:30:43.160
<v Speaker 1>a bigger bang for their back with nukes. I have

0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:46.160
<v Speaker 1>no idea whether or not they realized at that time

0:30:46.720 --> 0:30:50.080
<v Speaker 1>that those same nukes they had back in those days

0:30:50.560 --> 0:30:53.720
<v Speaker 1>are these same nukes that we have today because there's

0:30:53.720 --> 0:30:57.360
<v Speaker 1>no way to get rid of them. They're here forever,

0:30:57.680 --> 0:31:00.280
<v Speaker 1>and all it takes is one bad day and then

0:31:00.880 --> 0:31:05.160
<v Speaker 1>game over. We're all cooked. All right, we'll get out

0:31:05.240 --> 0:31:10.640
<v Speaker 1>on that. I know that's a weird, weird flex, but okay, anyway,
