Speaker 1: Kutbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow, it's the clearinghouse
Speaker 2: of hot takes. Break free for something special. The Fifth
Speaker 2: Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in.
Speaker 1: The air everywhere. The Fifth Hour has arrived with me,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny G Radio sliding into the weekend. A
Speaker 1: happy holiday weekend as we are hanging out with you
Speaker 1: and many people traveling today, well actually a lot of
Speaker 1: people were traveling yesterday, but people traveling today as well
Speaker 1: as heading out to all parts. I was looking at
Speaker 1: a story online and they were bragging about it's gonna
Speaker 1: set a record, like the most number of travelers in
Speaker 1: X number of years, and they've been all figured out
Speaker 1: and all that. But Danny G, I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: hang out right here. I got nowhere to go. I
Speaker 1: already went to the Carolinas. I got another trip in
Speaker 1: a couple of months, so I'm not going anywhere. I'm
Speaker 1: right here.
Speaker 3: I am traveling, but it's for work. We're gonna be
Speaker 3: doing the Covino and Rich Show live from Tempe, Arizona
Speaker 3: at the Graduate Hotel, and that's later today. So this morning,
Speaker 3: after I produce this fine podcast, I'm going to bust
Speaker 3: and move to Burbank, fight with all the Memorial Day
Speaker 3: weekend travelers, and get my butt on an airplane.
Speaker 1: All right, I would how'd you schedule a holiday weekend?
Speaker 1: This is a terrible I trap by, wasn't my idea?
Speaker 3: Remember last weekend I told you it's the PAC twelve
Speaker 3: Baseball championship game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you had mentioned something like, yeah, Pac twelve, this
Speaker 1: is it. They're done in PAC twelve. They said, it's
Speaker 1: like you know, a funeral. Yeah, last rights for the
Speaker 1: PAC twelve. It's all over. Is this the last championship
Speaker 1: for the PAC twelve or last tournament because football is
Speaker 1: a couple months away and then they that's when they
Speaker 1: flip over. The teams go to the Big ten or
Speaker 1: the Big twelve or wherever they're gonna go.
Speaker 3: This is it?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 1: Interesting, enjoy Tempy. I like Tempe and fan. We remember
Speaker 1: last week we learned they're gonna get not in Tempee
Speaker 1: but in Goodyear, Arizona, which I think is the spring
Speaker 1: training home I want to see of like the Cincinnati Reds.
Speaker 1: I maybe I forget who's in good Year, but they're
Speaker 1: gonna get a BUCkies. But it's not there yet. So
Speaker 1: and today appropriate enough is National Road Trip Day. But
Speaker 1: you will not be road tripping. You'll be flying because
Speaker 1: that's how you roll, Danny. You will not be driving Arizona.
Speaker 3: Alther you could, man, the graduate gave me gas money
Speaker 3: for the jet. My man, you could take my personal jet.
Speaker 1: It's also National s Cargo Day today. Yeah, so you
Speaker 1: can enjoy joy that not a fan. That's clams. Is
Speaker 1: that clam? Oh?
Speaker 3: That's snail?
Speaker 1: Oh? Is it snail? Okay? Yeah yeah, yeah, I just
Speaker 1: know I don't want it. I didn't know it was
Speaker 1: some kind of shell thing and I don't really want it.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Not only are the French a bunch of seas,
Speaker 3: they also like to eat snails.
Speaker 1: Racist. Well, we talked this week on the Overnight Show
Speaker 1: about those cicada bugs and that video that went viral
Speaker 1: this week of the two dudes at the baseball game
Speaker 1: in and I think it was in Alabama, and they
Speaker 1: were eating live cicadas. They were just grabbing them and
Speaker 1: dipping them in beer. And well, one guy dipped it
Speaker 1: in beer and he ate it. And then the other
Speaker 1: guy was with his daughter, you know, the girl dad,
Speaker 1: and he wanted to impress her, I guess, or he
Speaker 1: just wanted to get some some clout, so he then
Speaker 1: ate one. And then we had a bunch of people,
Speaker 1: I say a bunch. We had a few who live
Speaker 1: in like Nashville, who were saying that there was an
Speaker 1: infestation of these cicada bugs. They're just taking over as
Speaker 1: it's that time of the year and they're just massive
Speaker 1: amounts of these bugs are everywhere.
Speaker 3: So I wonder what they taste like dipped in ranch.
Speaker 1: Well, anything in ranch is terrible, now, I.
Speaker 3: Will tell you a wonderful that's wrong.
Speaker 1: That's a bad take. But if you deep fry them
Speaker 1: and maybe put dip them in chocolate. I know they
Speaker 1: were selling them in dipped in chocolate as a culinary
Speaker 1: delight a couple of years ago, remember that, But I
Speaker 1: don't know that that's still a thing. Probably is, probably is,
Speaker 1: But anything just covered in chocolate, if you can't taste it.
Speaker 1: You probably can't taste it other than old crunch. It's
Speaker 1: like eating chocolate almonds. I love chocolate almonds. I don't
Speaker 1: know that I want chocolate cicadas though probably probably not
Speaker 1: on my list. So we will have a battle update
Speaker 1: to battle update on this podcast. Also we have some
Speaker 1: foody fun and the word of the week if we
Speaker 1: have time for that, but we'll start with the battle updates.
Speaker 1: So you know, over my time at Fox Sports Radio,
Speaker 1: I do not look for battles. I do not. My
Speaker 1: mindset is not to engage. I am of the mindset
Speaker 1: that I'm a peaceful person when it So did this start, Danny?
Speaker 1: If someone challenges me, if someone takes a shot, a
Speaker 1: little potshot, then I have to respond. And we had
Speaker 1: a situation. We have a developing situation on the Overnight Show,
Speaker 1: and I thought this would be the perfect form since
Speaker 1: we have plenty of time here on the podcast. And
Speaker 1: this is where the hardcore listeners, the p one of
Speaker 1: P One's tune in because unlike the radios, are that
Speaker 1: you have to put extra effort in to get this podcast.
Speaker 1: So I consider you if you're listening to this podcast,
Speaker 1: you're like a higher level. Right, that's my own one
Speaker 1: man focus group. And when you know, you know, right,
Speaker 1: when you know, oh you know, and when you know
Speaker 1: that someone is challenging you, you have to respond. Otherwise
Speaker 1: what are you dan if you don't respond, If somebody
Speaker 1: challenges you and you don't respond, what are you a coward? Exactly?
Speaker 1: And who wants to be a coward? I don't want
Speaker 1: to be a coward. So the other day I got
Speaker 1: a message from one of my brigadier generals, Supermarket Steve.
Speaker 1: Now this guy is centially a lightning rod, Supermarket STEVEF.
Speaker 1: He doesn't call the show that often because he's working,
Speaker 1: thus the nickname Supermarcus Steve. But he sends me this
Speaker 1: manifesto and he points out that he's happy there's the
Speaker 1: pitch clock. And I'm paraphrasing this. I don't have it verbatim,
Speaker 1: so I know, Supermarket Steve, say, you got that. You
Speaker 1: didn't get that completely wrong? That's not exactly what I said. Well,
Speaker 1: kiss my ass, this is what I remember. That's what
Speaker 1: I remember, all right. So anyway, he sends me a
Speaker 1: message and he's like, Okay, I like the pitch clock
Speaker 1: because you're no longer covered up on A five seven.
Speaker 1: He lives in that, and you're no longer covered up
Speaker 1: because we would get covered up a lot, like three
Speaker 1: or four times a week. We'd get covered up because
Speaker 1: the damn Dodger game would go five and a half hours,
Speaker 1: and then they'd have an hour and a half postgame,
Speaker 1: and by the time we got on it was midnight
Speaker 1: or one in the morning or whatever. And so that
Speaker 1: doesn't really happen anymore because the games are all done
Speaker 1: in two and a half hours and they are able
Speaker 1: to put us on when the show starts. So he
Speaker 1: was happy about that. But then he tossed in that
Speaker 1: my good name was sullied by a member of the
Speaker 1: Dodger broadcast team on the airways of our affiliate in
Speaker 1: la AM five seventy. So this got my attention. So
Speaker 1: I had to unscramble this, and he mentioned the name
Speaker 1: David vassy is the name that he mentioned, all right,
Speaker 1: you mentioned David Vassa And he said there was something
Speaker 1: on the Petros and Money Show, which is the big
Speaker 1: afternoon drive show, involving my name. So this, this got
Speaker 1: me worked up a little bit. To her lather got
Speaker 1: me worked up a little bit.
Speaker 3: This surprises me just slightly. If I can interject for
Speaker 3: a second. I was up late with Big Baby CoA
Speaker 3: a few nights back. It's when you were rambling about
Speaker 3: Bronnie James. Oh yeah, yeah, we get your nights mixed up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's not gonna be the first night. The
Speaker 1: last night I ranked it about Bronnie James.
Speaker 3: So I had the Dodgers postgame show on, and Vasse
Speaker 3: ended everything. And as he ended Dodgers Talk, as he
Speaker 3: ended Dodgers Talk, he said, and now Big Ben Maller
Speaker 3: on Fox Sports Radio, and they cut right into the
Speaker 3: middle of your Bronnie James monologue.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, that's cool. He promoted him. Wow,
Speaker 1: all right, it was very nice of him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe he was trying to make up for what
Speaker 3: it sounds like he did bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So again, get back to sum marg Steve. So
Speaker 1: he sends me this message. He's one of my advisors.
Speaker 1: You know, he's one of my guys, the p one
Speaker 1: p ones, you know, not a spy. You know, they
Speaker 1: just monitor. You know, in combat, you have to monitor,
Speaker 1: you have to monitor radio waves. Right, the term radio
Speaker 1: silence comes from from from combat. Right. You don't wanna
Speaker 1: you don't wanna talk radio silence, don't say anything blah
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, because they're always listening in So you
Speaker 1: mentioned Besse had mentioned my name with uh, with Petro
Speaker 1: some money and and and Besmirch kind of ripping my
Speaker 1: time slot. Was the way Supermarket Steve framed it and
Speaker 1: all that. So then to advance the story, and I
Speaker 1: took a little shot at Fassa on my show. He
Speaker 1: happened to be listening. Uh. I know for a fact
Speaker 1: that he was listening when I took a shot, and
Speaker 1: we were busting balls, and we were we were going
Speaker 1: back and forth. We were talking about this.
Speaker 3: Has been going on for years, by the way.
Speaker 1: We were like, what should we do with Fassa, you know.
Speaker 1: And then Eddie always wants to release the hounds and
Speaker 1: go to combat. Eddie's a warhawk and the Malain militia.
Speaker 1: He wants to just let everyone out and just attack.
Speaker 1: That's his first instinct. And I'm like, well, I've known
Speaker 1: Vassaie a long time. We go way back. We've been
Speaker 1: in the business a long time, and I mean, why
Speaker 1: would he I guess he's changed, you know. Now he's
Speaker 1: hanging out with Otani and the Dodgers. They're the rock
Speaker 1: stars of LA, right, They're the glamour team in baseball.
Speaker 1: And he's flying on the same planes and the same
Speaker 1: buses he's taking and all that stuff. So maybe this
Speaker 1: is he's gotten a big head. Now, maybe that's it.
Speaker 1: But we were just kind of busting balls casually and
Speaker 1: I had a couple of good lines. My favorite line
Speaker 1: that night was if we want to mess with with Vassay,
Speaker 1: we just I'll just get like a Bernie Brewer costume
Speaker 1: in a slide and that'll that'll really, you know, holy crap,
Speaker 1: that'll mess with him. He famous if you don't know
Speaker 1: the backstory Vessay as the Dodger talk guy, he broke
Speaker 1: his arm sliding down the Brewers slide there in Milwaukee
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago on a viral video. So
Speaker 1: I thought that was a good line.
Speaker 3: Like that.
Speaker 1: Well, then the next day I got called in out
Speaker 1: of the bullpen to work as one of Rogan's heroes
Speaker 1: on Fred Rogan's show, The Midday Show at AM five
Speaker 1: seventy in LA which I don't do that often because
Speaker 1: it totally fs up my week. Not that I don't
Speaker 1: like it, but it totally fs up my week. That
Speaker 1: is a time I'm normally not awake when he's on
Speaker 1: at least most of the show. But I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, I'll do it once. Rare in appropriate, rare
Speaker 1: in appropriate to it. So I did it. You want
Speaker 1: to take a guest who was booked as a guest
Speaker 1: on the show?
Speaker 3: Oh it was your buddy David.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So needless to point out, if you didn't
Speaker 1: hear it, you probably didn't. We were at Loggerheads. We
Speaker 1: got into it. We had a dust up. Now he's
Speaker 1: taking shots at me, and he said, I called you
Speaker 1: a freeloader and all that stuff. Then I pointed out, well,
Speaker 1: I can't be a freeloader anymore. The Dodgers won't let
Speaker 1: me out there because Botani and the Japanese media and
Speaker 1: all that. So I brought that up. But we were
Speaker 1: going back and forth. He was trying to throw punches.
Speaker 1: Then he starts taking shots and this really upset my guy.
Speaker 1: Alf the alien o Pinter. Alf was beside himself, an
Speaker 1: experienced veteran in many battles. All right, this guy's got
Speaker 1: a lot of stars. Danny in the Mala Militia, Alf
Speaker 1: Thealen Piner spats with shots and a bunch of other stuff,
Speaker 1: and he was annoyed. He was annoyed that this gypsy
Speaker 1: David Vassay is out there taking shots at the fun facts.
Speaker 1: He did not. He took a shot at the fun
Speaker 1: facts that we do on this show. How dare him?
Speaker 1: He also he took a shot at the people that
Speaker 1: listened to the show. He ripped me for talking about
Speaker 1: the Indiana Pacers when they were in a conference final
Speaker 1: game and I came on after, and what am I
Speaker 1: supposed to talk about? So he's taking all these shots,
Speaker 1: but then I came back. I returned fire. I returned fire.
Speaker 1: So I returned fire by pointing out he is he
Speaker 1: is such a dodger Homer that he's turning into a smurf.
Speaker 1: He's turning blow He's such a dodger Homer. And we
Speaker 1: were going back in.
Speaker 3: So that's an outdated reference, Danny.
Speaker 1: The Smurfs are still relevant if you go to Universal Studios.
Speaker 1: Don't they have like smurfs out there Universal Studios.
Speaker 3: Anyone listening under thirty five was like, what's a smurf?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: People know it's people know it's smurfsor hey, I'm relatable man,
Speaker 1: Smurfs were before my time.
Speaker 2: Day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I watched them on the YouTube. I've watched
Speaker 1: the Smurfs on the YouTube. So we went back on YouTube. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we went back and forth, right, And I'm told the
Speaker 1: number of very important people heard that conversation. Well, now
Speaker 1: we had my guys were listening, and they were on
Speaker 1: the bleeding edge, right. They wanted they wanted blood, blood
Speaker 1: in the streets. So to set up where we are
Speaker 1: right now as we slide into a holiday weekend, la
Speaker 1: la la la la la la la la. The way
Speaker 1: I will describe it is a highly combustible situation, A
Speaker 1: highly combustible situation. To use the military lingo. We have
Speaker 1: a lot of guys that did time in the military.
Speaker 1: I did not. I lived when I grew up. I
Speaker 1: consider myself kind of like I was in the military
Speaker 1: because I grew up between two military bases. I grew
Speaker 1: up between the Eltoral Marine Base and the Tustin Marine Base.
Speaker 1: There were two bases a few miles apart, and I
Speaker 1: was in between them. And so when I went to school,
Speaker 1: all the kids I would go to school with were
Speaker 1: like military brats that had moved around and all that.
Speaker 1: By the way, both those bases completely gone. Neither one there.
Speaker 3: But when I was growing up, they were there in
Speaker 3: Orange County. They were there when the Smurfs had their
Speaker 3: TV run.
Speaker 1: All right, shut up. So to use military jargon, they
Speaker 1: have the def Con level now, like, for example, def
Speaker 1: Con five is normal readiness. You just you know. That's
Speaker 1: the lowest state of readines is def Con five. So
Speaker 1: I would like to alert all the Mali militia at
Speaker 1: this moment as we head into this holiday weekend, the
Speaker 1: Malord militia, my boots on the ground, my defenders, the
Speaker 1: battle with Vassa, we are at I'm all chunked up, Danny,
Speaker 1: I'm all chucked up even thinking about it. I gotta
Speaker 1: say this. We are at deaf Con three, not one,
Speaker 1: not to where deaf Con three.
Speaker 3: I hope Con three. I hope Vesse doesn't listen to
Speaker 3: this podcast. He'll make a drop out of that.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: Deaf Con three. As you know, Danny, because you did
Speaker 1: time in the service, unless you didn't, deaf Con three
Speaker 1: is air Force ready to mobilize in fifteen minutes. So
Speaker 1: within fifteen minutes at deaf Con three, if Vassa continues
Speaker 1: to use inflammatory language, if he continues to escalate the hostility,
Speaker 1: we will have to move all of our soldiers to
Speaker 1: a cyber attack on Vassa.
Speaker 3: Oh man. And just in case you're wondering, because Vassay
Speaker 3: is not your normal kind of last name, it's v
Speaker 3: ass e g H. I mean, I'm just spelling it,
Speaker 3: so you know how to spell his last name.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And in addition to that, I would also like
Speaker 1: to point out while we are at Defcom three right now,
Speaker 1: subject to change, subject to go higher. I also pointed
Speaker 1: out to a gentleman that I've known for some time,
Speaker 1: David Magdalenlo. I mispronounced his name, but David who worked
Speaker 1: He worked on the Dodger broadcast for a while. I
Speaker 1: don't know what he's do you know what he's doing now?
Speaker 3: I don't know what he's No, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's in the in radio. At least,
Speaker 1: he's not doing what he used to do.
Speaker 3: But he said he's probably actually making money now doing
Speaker 3: something else.
Speaker 1: But he's got summers off and things like that. But
Speaker 1: he said that Vassay is backed by La Doyers fans.
Speaker 1: Easy win against the militia, Easy win now with them
Speaker 1: some fighting words, right, That's what I'm talking about. This
Speaker 1: is this is a highly flammable situation, and the.
Speaker 3: Dodger fans do suck up to him though every time
Speaker 3: they call they're like, oh, David, my life's never been
Speaker 3: the same since you came on the radio to talk Dodgers.
Speaker 1: God stop, it's nauseating, yea a Vassay.
Speaker 3: When he interviews the players too, man, he strokes him hard.
Speaker 1: Well, he's all buddies with him. And also when I
Speaker 1: had my back and forth with him, there was a
Speaker 1: chain reaction from that when I was on with the
Speaker 1: Rogan with Fred and I confronted him because one of
Speaker 1: Vassay's baseball buddies, Blake Snell, loser, bra, I'm risking my life, bra,
Speaker 1: I ain't playing unless I get my that douche canoe
Speaker 1: Blake Snell is buddies with Vassay. How pathetic is that?
Speaker 1: That tells you all you need to know about the
Speaker 1: current status of Vassay. He's changed. I'm telling you he
Speaker 1: wasn't like this when I as a young guy, Dan,
Speaker 1: he wasn't like this.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if this is the Dodger fan of
Speaker 3: me talking or not. He does have some pretty good
Speaker 3: insight to the Dodgers. But maybe that's because he's so
Speaker 3: close to them.
Speaker 1: Well, he's not a brown noser.
Speaker 3: He's one of the guys.
Speaker 1: He's not a brown noser. He's a blue noser, is
Speaker 1: what he's blues. He's saying.
Speaker 3: When he strokes them really hard, he gets blue all
Speaker 3: over his shoulder.
Speaker 1: That's what you said. I didn't say that, but I
Speaker 1: didn't deny it. I did not deny, did not deny that.
Speaker 1: So Magdaleno, who who said that the La Doyers fans
Speaker 1: will take down the militia. I pointed out that we
Speaker 1: are a global machine here, Okay. I got Ozzie Wiz
Speaker 1: who will release the kangaroos.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's at least ten listeners that will go hard.
Speaker 1: We've got an army of kangaroos. I've got Terry in England,
Speaker 1: army of ten. Terry in England will unite the UK
Speaker 1: branch of the MALLA militia. We've got our guy in
Speaker 1: Germany on the Autobahn and he will he will be part.
Speaker 1: I mean, we've got so many factions. The Vest crew
Speaker 1: is just mostly in southern California, right, most of his
Speaker 1: people and southern and the other thing that Magdaleno does
Speaker 1: not understand. Okay, and I like David, but he doesn't
Speaker 1: understand this. There are factions of the Dodger fan base
Speaker 1: that are my guys, because I hosted that Dodger talk
Speaker 1: Beforeassay years ago. So there are people that are on
Speaker 1: my side. And if they have to pick a side
Speaker 1: at the fork in the road, they're gonna pick me
Speaker 1: at the Clover Relief Interchange. They're gonna take me in
Speaker 1: that not Vassay me. So we have a group of
Speaker 1: Dodger fans and we've got the mal Or militia. We'll
Speaker 1: bring in Cowboy, and we got a cowboy cowboy and
Speaker 1: Windsor hollering. James will sit on top of Assay. He'll
Speaker 1: He'll have no chance, no chance. Okay, how about Marcel
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn? Yes, do you want to get in to
Speaker 1: an intellectual battle with Marcell in Brooklyn? No, you don't.
Speaker 1: You do not. Don't worry. It's just pay the tot,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. So that's where I am right now.
Speaker 1: I did not plan on talking about this this long, Danny,
Speaker 1: But we're deaf Con three. That's the roundhouse level air Force,
Speaker 1: ready to mobilize fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes, and we've increased
Speaker 1: above normal level in the mal of Militsia. And I
Speaker 1: don't want to go to deaf Con two. I certainly
Speaker 1: don't want to go to deaf Con one. I don't.
Speaker 1: But if Fas say, if he comes back and he doesn't,
Speaker 1: you know, stay in his lane, then we're going to
Speaker 1: have to go there. And I don't want to go there.
Speaker 1: I don't. I do not again. I am just minding
Speaker 1: my own business. I'm twiddling my thumbs over here, and
Speaker 1: I get attacked. I get attacked by Vassay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just sitting there, so innocent.
Speaker 1: I am, that's exactly where. That's a correct take, completely innocent,
Speaker 1: minding my own own business. And then all of a
Speaker 1: sudden I get I get a shot from from Vassie. Anyway,
Speaker 1: all right, we'll move on from that. I think we've
Speaker 1: wasted way too much time talking about that, but we'll
Speaker 1: keep you updated. And I don't hear vass doing dodge
Speaker 1: talk because I'm doing my show, so I know you
Speaker 1: guys are going to be listening and let me know
Speaker 1: if he steps out of line.
Speaker 3: Well, usually when Dodger talk ends, I flipped the radio off.
Speaker 1: Wow, okay, just getting slap you, slap you Now. I'm
Speaker 1: optimistic that Vass got the message. He does not want
Speaker 1: to mess with the militia. He does not. Okay, I
Speaker 1: know many guys want you don't want.
Speaker 3: Justin in sintent Justin, by the way, I know many
Speaker 3: guys well, but no, it's a sausage factory.
Speaker 1: I know many guys. Justin in Cincinnati has no filter. Okay,
Speaker 1: this guy does not play around, and he has a
Speaker 1: lot of free time. So you do not wit want
Speaker 1: Danny or Justin rather in Cincinnati to have a hissy
Speaker 1: fit because watch it, he throws a tantrum. Man alive, man,
Speaker 1: all live, all right. Time Now for the word all
Speaker 1: the week, the word of the week. Okay, the word
Speaker 1: of the week this week is appropriate in honor of
Speaker 1: the current battle. And if you have an idea for
Speaker 1: a name for this now, we had Spats with Shats,
Speaker 1: which is one of the all time great names. Can
Speaker 1: you believe it's been ten years, Danny, I think he's
Speaker 1: been ten years since Bats with Ya way, Yeah, somebody
Speaker 1: sent me a message it's been ten years since we
Speaker 1: got camp.
Speaker 3: Ten years because I've been with a network for nine
Speaker 3: years and I was on your show when that happened.
Speaker 1: Okay, so maybe it was the first salvo. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Somebody said ten.
Speaker 3: Years, he's gotta be no, I want to say eight years,
Speaker 3: six or seven years ago.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Well the guy gave erroneous information. He
Speaker 1: said it goes ten years, but apparently not. Anyway, the
Speaker 1: word here is shambles because my man David Vasse, who
Speaker 1: I've known for many years and I generally have a
Speaker 1: good opinion of until recently, he's he's gonna be a
Speaker 1: shambles if he continues this complaining and belly aching about
Speaker 1: the Mala militia and all that, he will absolutely be
Speaker 1: in shambles. And hey, you don't play for the Dodgers,
Speaker 1: so stop acting like you played for the Dodgers. All right,
Speaker 1: So the I like that, that's got that's got a shot.
Speaker 1: That's got a shot. So the origin, the origin of
Speaker 1: the word shambles, this is this is kind of cool.
Speaker 1: So this goes obviously goes way back. It was derived
Speaker 1: from the Latin term scammelous, meaning a small tool like
Speaker 1: a chair. But at the same time the word scammelous
Speaker 1: was being used, the word shambles in the form we
Speaker 1: have in modern times was also being used. That was
Speaker 1: to refer to a stool. So they're not exactly sure,
Speaker 1: those that study the language what happened why this became intertwined,
Speaker 1: they're not one hundred percent sure. But the meaning of
Speaker 1: scamulous was refined further to mean a stall or they
Speaker 1: used to say stool, but now or stall where meat
Speaker 1: is sold, like a meat market, and so it meant
Speaker 1: meat market, and then it came to mean a slaughterhouse.
Speaker 1: And finally, somewhere along the road over the history of humanity,
Speaker 1: human beings started using the word shambles to create witty
Speaker 1: puns and about how our lives are a bloody mess,
Speaker 1: much like a slaughterhouse shambles, And so the word of
Speaker 1: the week is shambles. We didn't do foody fund last week,
Speaker 1: I don't think, so we have foody fun. What do
Speaker 1: you say You're ready for some fund?
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a couple of good stories, all.
Speaker 1: Right, footy fun. Well, this one I don't think we
Speaker 1: got through it last week, and I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's good or not. But several of you sent me
Speaker 1: the story saying I can't believe you did mention this
Speaker 1: to your podcast? Why didn't you mention this? Guess you
Speaker 1: must have recorded your podcast before before this story came out. No,
Speaker 1: I just didn't see the story. Stupid Mike, you know
Speaker 1: who you are. But the story out of the UK
Speaker 1: that McDonald's rebranded the Happy Meal, it's a few days old.
Speaker 1: We haven't talked about it on this show. McDonald's rebranded
Speaker 1: the Happy Meal as just the meal for Mental Health
Speaker 1: Awareness Week.
Speaker 3: So stupid.
Speaker 1: This is one of the dumbest ideas. One of whoever's
Speaker 1: in the marketing department at McDonald's should be taken out
Speaker 1: and slapped.
Speaker 3: Was it it's bad to be happy?
Speaker 1: Now? Yes? In the United Kingdom. We'll have to check
Speaker 1: in with Terry and England and some of our other
Speaker 1: UK listeners. It's it's got to be bad because dare
Speaker 1: you be when there's some people struggling with their mental health? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the mental health awareness they in the United Kingdom they
Speaker 1: remove this smile from the box and they want to
Speaker 1: encourage conversation about children's emotions. Yeah, yeah, let's go get
Speaker 1: a shitty meal. A meal. I'm in a shitty mood.
Speaker 1: So instead of a yellow smile, the iconic happy meal
Speaker 1: box contains a bunch of different stickers of different types
Speaker 1: of mouse confused, a swiggle, slanted line, a slight frown,
Speaker 1: even the traditional smile, along with a few others.
Speaker 3: Come on, man, and instead of a toy in the box,
Speaker 3: it's a it's a cat poop.
Speaker 1: Well, what happens, Danny, when you allow some wolster to
Speaker 1: be your marketing person? Ta dah, when you let the
Speaker 1: stupid people run your business. In my opinion, I can
Speaker 1: say whatever I want, Danny. It's my opinion. That's what happens. So,
Speaker 1: my god, these opinions are not shared by iHeartMedia.
Speaker 3: Are Well.
Speaker 1: There was another McDonald's story that went viral this week.
Speaker 1: Did you see the mop? The McDonald's mop story.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she was dry. The lady was drying it right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, This female employee at this McDonald's in Australia was
Speaker 1: using a heating lamp over the French fry bin to
Speaker 1: dry a wet mop the top of the mop, obviously
Speaker 1: makes sense, which appeared to be used to just clean
Speaker 1: the floor moments earlier. Yeah, that's that's a great idea.
Speaker 1: That that's a person future MENSA member right there. That
Speaker 1: person's going.
Speaker 3: Places and now you know why sometimes when you treat
Speaker 3: yourself to fast food, because that is a treat nowadays,
Speaker 3: you're like, this tastes dirty. It tastes like dirty water.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just have to go in there blinded to
Speaker 1: the light, blinded to what you're probably eating wrapped up
Speaker 1: block a douche. Well, it's like we talked about the
Speaker 1: cicada thing the other day with Eddie. We're like, well, people,
Speaker 1: Eddie got all freaked out. I don't want to see
Speaker 1: the video. I don't want to see the videos. Like
Speaker 1: if you're already eating bugs, you know, and in our
Speaker 1: food it is allowed a certain percentage of bugs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's allowed protein.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what else do we have on foody?
Speaker 3: Oh, we got to do the b dub story, the
Speaker 3: bet all you can eat.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's right. The buffalo wild wings free not freeloaders.
Speaker 1: You gotta pay for this. But how should we discover
Speaker 1: those piggy piggy update, I don't know, I call piggy piggy. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: big news in the feed world. Buffalo wild wings. It
Speaker 1: is only for a month, right, they're only doing this
Speaker 1: I think for a month.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's available now through Wednesday. July tenth, that participated.
Speaker 1: More than a month. That's like a month and a half.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a month and a half at participating restaurants. So
Speaker 3: you've got to call your local b dubs to see
Speaker 3: if they're offering the deal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what are the details on this? Exactly?
Speaker 3: Pay nine sense? Every Monday and Wednesday all you can
Speaker 3: eat wings and fries, so completely.
Speaker 1: Over and dull just go in there and blimp out.
Speaker 3: And I asked you the other day when we saw
Speaker 3: the story, I was like, how many wings can you
Speaker 3: eat in one sitting?
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I said back in the day, I could
Speaker 1: probably do fifty.
Speaker 3: That's impressive. Fifty, that's impressive.
Speaker 1: But now I can't. I'm soft, I'm old, I don't
Speaker 1: eat much. I can only probably do twenty, so it
Speaker 1: would be worth my time.
Speaker 3: That's weenie.
Speaker 1: So we know now, Danny that Buffalo Wow Wings does
Speaker 1: not do very much business on Mondays and Wednesdays? Is
Speaker 1: that fair to say?
Speaker 3: That's very fair to say.
Speaker 1: And how many could you eat, Danny if you were
Speaker 1: to go, if we were both to go to Buffalo
Speaker 1: Wow Wings? How many did you you know?
Speaker 3: I've been trying to trim down, so I would probably
Speaker 3: do eighteen to twenty. But in my ben mallor radio days,
Speaker 3: when I was blimping up because of my overnight schedule,
Speaker 3: I probably could easily dust off thirty of those bad boys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd have to pace yourself. Is it a time thing?
Speaker 1: Is it a limit on it?
Speaker 3: Because ah, no, you know the move They tell that,
Speaker 3: and then they're never gonna admit this, but they tell
Speaker 3: their waiters and waitresses to go very slow and bring
Speaker 3: the orders out slow because they want to weight you out.
Speaker 1: Okay, so they figure you'll get tired.
Speaker 3: They figure you'll you're you're gonna get tied, that you're
Speaker 3: not gonna be comfortable ordering more and more and more
Speaker 3: and sit there forever. Maybe you'll order two refills of
Speaker 3: the wings and then you'll get up and leave. That's
Speaker 3: what their hope, And that you'll add sodas and you know,
Speaker 3: other sides and things like that to supplement the bill.
Speaker 1: Yes, sodas and fries is where they're going to make
Speaker 1: their money.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well fries are given for free. Oh yeah, so
Speaker 3: they're hoping on alcohol and soda and all that stuff
Speaker 3: that they obviously overprice.
Speaker 1: In a related note, Red Lobster did file for Chapter
Speaker 1: eleven bankruptcy protection recently, so we had the all you
Speaker 1: can eat trimp that put them out of business. And
Speaker 1: what is going to happen to the Cheddar Bay biscuits.
Speaker 1: Will someone saved the Cheddar Bay biscuits? Will we still
Speaker 1: be able to get our cheddar bab biscuits?
Speaker 3: Now? Rich Davis's theory was that most of us could
Speaker 3: only eat about twenty wings, so that's a dollar a wing,
Speaker 3: and the fries who cares, you know, and you got
Speaker 3: to pay for the soda obviously, so it's just an
Speaker 3: okay deal. Whereas the shrimp, as we know, Coop handled
Speaker 3: eighty five of those just on his own. So I
Speaker 3: think that's the reason why that backfired on Red Lobster
Speaker 3: the way it did years ago.
Speaker 1: Buffalo Wild Wings had I think it was on Monday
Speaker 1: or Tuesday, they had fifty cent wing night, So that
Speaker 1: that was a better deal than this fifty cent wing night, right,
Speaker 1: because you're probably payting you'd have to eat more than twenty.
Speaker 3: But at fifty cents, I was going to say, unless
Speaker 3: you're eating thirty to forty wings, that probably is a
Speaker 3: better deal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, what else do we have on the
Speaker 1: foody fun. Windy's has put together a new fifty piece
Speaker 1: chicken nuggets pack. You're inclined to eat the chicken nuggets? There?
Speaker 1: Why's the Nugs Party Pack? They're calling it the Grab
Speaker 1: the Nugs Party Pack. Very exciting and chrispyter spicy. Only
Speaker 1: available select markets across the US. According to the fine print,
Speaker 1: the Nugs Party Pack can range from forty five to
Speaker 1: fifty nuggets, depending on the weight of said nuggets. To celebrate,
Speaker 1: Windy's is offering three dollars off any purchase of the
Speaker 1: fifteen dollars or more or fifteen dollars or more through
Speaker 1: the Windy's app. I didn't see a price on how
Speaker 1: much this is. I'm assuming it's more than fifteen dollars, right,
Speaker 1: you're not going to give you that, man.
Speaker 3: You know the other day I treated myself to a
Speaker 3: bowl of Wendy's chili.
Speaker 1: Then, how is that? Did you?
Speaker 3: Oh man? I tootored my way all through the end
Speaker 3: of the week.

Speaker 1: ten years? What else do we have here? Free McNuggets?
