He's the last remnants 4 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He 5 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 6 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to the Clearinghouse 7 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 2: of hot takes, break free for something special.

A 15 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 3: lot of the glamour teams have already played. There's only 16 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 3: a couple of games that you really circle and said, boy, 17 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 3: I want to watch that game today. I will be 18 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 3: at a game. I'll beat the Raider Chargers game, which 19 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 3: I don't necessarily want to be at, but I will. 20 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 3: I will well, I'll be there for media purposes. I 21 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 3: will be there Chargers and Raiders. I'll hopefully see Eddie 22 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 3: if he's at that game. The Bills Steelers game, though, 23 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 3: that's a big one, the Bills Steelers game. 24 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: That's a big one. 25 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 3: And then the other game that it's kind of got 26 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 3: my interest that is somewhat acceptable, would be the Texans 27 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 3: and the Colts. To see what happens in that game. 28 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 3: Is the Texans have that great defense, the Colts starting 29 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 3: to show signs of falling apart. So those are the 30 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 3: two games that really stand out. And then Monday Night tomorrow, 31 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 3: Giants and Patriots. You've got the Giants, who are terrible, 32 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 3: but Jackson Dart supposed to. 33 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: Play in that game. And the Patriots, we're not completely 34 00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: in on them. They've got ten. 35 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 3: Wins and that's great. Let's see what they do against 36 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 3: a bad Giants team. 37 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: But enough of that. 38 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 3: On this podcast today the fifth hour, you have me 39 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 3: Ben Danny g Away this weekend for the holiday, but 40 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 3: you have the menu of Doom and also the mail 41 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 3: bag will start though with this. So sometimes you see 42 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 3: it coming. Sometimes you see it coming and you walk 43 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 3: through the door and that. 44 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: Feeling hits you instantly. You shouldn't be here. 45 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 3: You've ever been in a place where you're like, I 46 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 3: really don't belong here. 47 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: Why am I here? 48 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 3: It's just something's off. Everyone else in the building is 49 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 3: fluent in a language you never learned. They know the customs, 50 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 3: they know which fork to use. Me Na, NA, I 51 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 3: know how to make a pastrami sandwich at home. If 52 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 3: you want me to make gringo tacos, I can do that. 53 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 3: I can make the mouther arl Pete's I can do 54 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 3: that as well. So this past weekend, my wife said, Hey, 55 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 3: we're going going out to a dinner. This was not 56 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 3: a suggestion, this was a decree, and through marriage, I 57 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 3: was contractually obligated to attend this dinner. It was a 58 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 3: birthday celebration for someone that she works with, a co worker, 59 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 3: a bright, caring, lovely woman who is a social worker 60 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 3: and drug counselor who's helped hundreds find sobriety. And she's 61 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 3: done more good in the world than I've done, taking 62 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 3: seventeen thousand calls from hollering James Marcel in Brooklyn and 63 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 3: Blair in Maine. 64 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: So just just has. 65 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 3: And when it was her time to celebrate, we were 66 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 3: celebrating her. She got to choose her restaurant, and she 67 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 3: chose her favorite restaurant. And this restaurant a think of 68 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 3: it like a white tablecloth seafood sanctuary with all kinds 69 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 3: of snotty, elitist rules, rituals, the dress code that might 70 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 3: as well have been written by the Queen of England 71 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 3: might as well have been written by the Queen of England. 72 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 3: So the kind of place that you don't normally find me. 73 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: I don't. 74 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 3: I'm not that kind of guy. I'd rather hang out 75 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 3: at a truck stop. This is the kind of place 76 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 3: where they give you a look, not a menu, and 77 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 3: the look says, sir, you better behave yourself. It's like 78 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 3: they stand there and make sure you put your napgun 79 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 3: on your lap, like they know you're a neanderthal. You 80 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 3: have to sit up with the proper posture. Your back's 81 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 3: got to be straight, no jokes, no jokes until dessert. 82 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 3: It's culinary church fashion. Well, food is the fashion. It's 83 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 3: not fashion, it's food, and it forks with more attitude 84 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 3: than your high school principle. And this is where the 85 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 3: trouble begins. There are two kinds of people in this world, 86 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 3: those that eat the fish and those who don't eat 87 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 3: the fish. And I am firmly stationed in the second camp. 88 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 3: I'm dug in. I got my helmet on, my trench mentality. 89 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 3: I'm in the trenches. I do not eat fish, sam 90 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 3: I am. 91 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: I do not. 92 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 3: I do not negotiate with fish. I do not bend 93 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 3: the knee to the fish kingdom. I don't get with 94 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 3: big fishy. I only despise two things about seafood. 95 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: I've told people this for years. 96 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 3: There's only two things I don't like about seafood, the 97 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 3: smell and the texture. Other than that, I'm fine, I'm 98 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 3: a fan other than that. And yet there I was 99 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 3: a fish atheist in a seafood cathedral, the Tabernacle of Fish. 100 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 3: Here I was, And then like. 101 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: Que the Evil Star Wars music, the menu of doom. 102 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 3: Now you go stand when I go to a restaurant 103 00:05:59,000 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 3: that I don't normally go to. 104 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: I'm a planner. I'm a person like many many of us. 105 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 3: Maybe you're like me. I like to have things kind 106 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 3: of mapped out a little bit. I certainly want to 107 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 3: go to restaurants. I like to script out my meal, 108 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 3: think about what I'm gonna eat, kind of get a 109 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 3: little excited about. 110 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: That, think about I only eat once a day. 111 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 3: So I'm like, okay, I want to plan I want 112 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 3: to plan this out, so I script my meals. It's 113 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 3: like a military operation and all of that. Right, I 114 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 3: need a road map. It's a game plan, a culinary 115 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 3: game plan. Now, unfortunately the men you read like a 116 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 3: hostage note written by Poseidon himself. I stopped counting any 117 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 3: There about one hundred and seventy nine seafood dishes, lobster, razuto, 118 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 3: pan seared halibit, Chilean sea bass, something called on the 119 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 3: side caviare foam. I don't know what that is. It 120 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 3: sounds expensive. Crab legs, now, this was the big thing. 121 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 3: Crab legs, bigger than some national landmarks. 122 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: That's what they're known for. And these people withou deep 123 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: fry a wall. 124 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 3: If given permission, they would literally take a walrus and 125 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 3: just deep fright and people would eat it. They'd serve 126 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 3: jellyfish on brioche buns and call it summer inspired coastal fusion. 127 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 3: You just want to puke in my mouth. Now, there 128 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 3: were a few steaks. If it's a high end seafood place, 129 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 3: but they had a few steaks. Think of these like 130 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 3: the lifeboats on the Titanic seafood vessel. 131 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: I didn't want steak though. 132 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 3: I didn't want and the reason I didn't want it 133 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 3: you know, I'm being totally honest here. It would have 134 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 3: been the wrong move because if you walk into a 135 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 3: high end restaurant, this case of seafood place, but they 136 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 3: also have expensive steaks, and you go in there and 137 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 3: ask them for a steak, say, I'm gonna have the 138 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 3: I'm gonna have the steak and the mashed potato. 139 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: Okay, how would you like that? Cook? Well, I would 140 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: like that. 141 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 3: I would like that like the color of the tires 142 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 3: on your car when I get it, and I can, I. 143 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: Have you please burn the steak. That is a felony. 144 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 3: That is a culinary felony, class a felony, maximum sentence felony. 145 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 3: Gordon Ramsey would personally drop through the ceiling like a 146 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 3: British swat agent and arrest you with a garnish of 147 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 3: Parsley if you go into that place and say I 148 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 3: want a steak and I want it all done now. Meanwhile, 149 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 3: I'm staring at the kiddy menu at this point. I 150 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 3: don't like seafood, but I'm like, I gotta save myself here. 151 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 3: I don't want to order the steak because I can't 152 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 3: get it well done. All these food dishes look terrible. 153 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 3: So then I'm like, okay, let me look at kiddy menu, 154 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 3: and I'm like, they gotta have chicken fingers. Everyone's got 155 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 3: chicken fingers on the kiddy menu. So I'm looking. I 156 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 3: don't see I don't see chicken fingers. I'm like, okay, 157 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 3: I know I don't like seafood. I'm willing to take 158 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 3: one for the team, just so I don't get weird looks. 159 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,719 Speaker 3: I'll take these kids beer battered fish sticks. I'll get 160 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 3: two orders crinkle cut fries, a gallon of tartar sauce. 161 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 3: I'll pour a two gallons of vinegar. I'll make it 162 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 3: rain vinegar from the heavens, and I won't even be 163 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 3: able to taste the fish. So okay, like divine intervention. Unfortunately, 164 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 3: no Bueno or in this case, no kiddy menu at all, 165 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 3: no dice. They didn't have a kiddy menu. This is 166 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 3: not for kids. This is a high end steak place. 167 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 3: No Lifeline, nothing. So I finally landed on Terioki chicken, 168 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 3: which I consider the witness protection program of entrees. The 169 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 3: chef sent out half a chicken, breast coated and Tarioki syrup, 170 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 3: sitting next to a thimble of rice. I feel like 171 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 3: they counted each piece of rice and one lonely pineapple 172 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 3: chunk that looked ashamed to be there, and that meal, 173 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 3: that meal, half a chicken breast coated in syrup, a 174 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 3: thimble symbol of thimble of rice rather and one lonely 175 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 3: pineapple chunk that was forty bucks. Forty American dollars for 176 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 3: a meal that I know I could make better blindfolded 177 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 3: on a humid Tuesday with one spatula and one arm 178 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 3: tied behind my back and a broken stove. And I 179 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 3: could have made it better, but I didn't do it. 180 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: And I did it. 181 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 3: I showed up, I paid the bill, and everyone's plates 182 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 3: looked like art. Okay, everyone's got these vibrant, colorful, obviously 183 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 3: expensive plates of food, and the food I got looked 184 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 3: like room service, but it was like it was room 185 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 3: service at Guantanamo Bay. 186 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: Forty dollars for half a chicken breast. 187 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 3: Again, I mean, just I can go through the whole 188 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 3: thing if you want, but I'm like, my god, it's 189 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 3: absolutely crazy. And this wasn't even the worst part. The 190 00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 3: worst part. The worst part was watching everyone else at 191 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 3: the table and they love their food. 192 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: They're oh, this is like the greatest thing ever. Oh 193 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: my god, this is better than sex. And I'm like, 194 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: oh my god, I would disagree. 195 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,719 Speaker 3: There were people smiling and nodding like the full body reactions. 196 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 3: There were a few people who closed their eyes. Meanwhile, 197 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 3: I'm gnawing on just disappointment, poultry disappointment. And I knew 198 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 3: then I had lost the night. I had lost the night. 199 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 3: And we live just miles from the mighty Pacific Ocean, 200 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 3: the giant provider of seafood for the world. There are 201 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 3: estimates that claim there are roughly three and a half 202 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 3: trillion fish in the waters of the ocean trillion, three 203 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 3: and a half trillion. The ocean is basically a swimming 204 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 3: costco and over seventy percent of the world's fish catch 205 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 3: come from the Pacific. 206 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: Tens of thousands. 207 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 3: Of species exist, with new ones being discovered all the time. 208 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 3: And I want none of them on my plate. Not one, Sam, 209 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 3: I am not one. Not because I hate fish, not 210 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 3: because I'm trying to make a stand or be a troublemaker. 211 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: I just can't. 212 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 3: Again, I can't take the smell or the texture. Other 213 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 3: than that, I'm okay, I'm okay with it. So when 214 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 3: the night was over, we said our goodbyes from. 215 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 4: This bougie bougie fish place, and everyone thanked the people 216 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 4: at the restaurant there thinking the thanking the chef like. 217 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 3: This person intured disease. And I walked out, knowing I 218 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 3: played the wrong position. The entire evening, I was the 219 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 3: guy trying to run the triple option offense at a 220 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 3: seafood banquet. The out of place one was me, the 221 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 3: land mammal in a room full of ocean devotees. Uh 222 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 3: and listen, that was okay, because what I learned is simple. 223 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 3: If the pride of your meal is a punt chunk, 224 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 3: you did not eat dinner, you survived it. 225 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:04,719 Speaker 1: Right. 226 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 3: If that's the highlight, a little chunk of pineapple that 227 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 3: was better than the chicken and the rice, you just 228 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 3: happen to survive. And next time I will I will 229 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 3: have to do the same thing because I was a guest. 230 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 3: But if I picked the spot, there will at least 231 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 3: be ketchup. There'll be chicken fingers on the kiddy menu, 232 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 3: They'll be fries, they'll be all of that. There will not, 233 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 3: under any circumstances if I'm picking, be crab legs, not 234 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 3: gonna happen not gonna happen. 235 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: All right. 236 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 3: Now, of that, let's get to Ohio Al. Can you 237 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 3: get me in the mood for the mail bag? The 238 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 3: great Ohio aw, It's bag all right, very good.

Some of you don't do that, so 245 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 3: all you have to do is submit the joke and 246 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 3: then under each joke put your name in city. Otherwise 247 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 3: you likely won't get much credit for writing said jokes. 248 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 3: First up on the mail bag, thanks again to Ohio Al. 249 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 3: And again it's Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. 250 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 3: Jokes in the headline. Reggie from Detroit says Ben and 251 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 3: Danny G. Ben, you had a fill in boardop. You 252 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 3: had a couple of different producers this week, and your 253 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 3: radio show sounded as good as always. You've become like 254 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 3: McDonald's Big Mac Ben consistently good. How are you able 255 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 3: to put it off with all these filling people? That's 256 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 3: from Reggie in Detroit, well, first of all, thank you, 257 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 3: Reggie for comparing the radio show to a Big Mac. 258 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: Does that mean we've got a lot of bread like 259 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: the Big Mac? 260 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 3: Right? 261 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: You get the bread piece in the middle, is at it? Yeah? Okay, 262 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: maybe not. 263 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 3: So to get to the point, Richie, yeah, I do. 264 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 3: I do take pride that the show is about the same. 265 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 3: It really is a blessing. 266 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: And a curse though in many ways. And yeah, I've 267 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: talked to this. 268 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 3: I do about ninety eight percent of the work for 269 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 3: the show ninety eight percent, and so it really is 270 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 3: something that takes up my entire day and night. 271 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: And it's it's. 272 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 3: My baby, right I put when you put the baby 273 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 3: to bed at night, get the show ready. 274 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: But I do all that. I am the monologues. I 275 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: get no help on that. 276 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 3: You know, anything that is done on the show is 277 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 3: you know, something that I've I've put together. So you know, 278 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 3: it's a blessing that I have that kind of editorial control. 279 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 3: It's also a curse because it would be a lot 280 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 3: easier on me if I had some people that would 281 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 3: help do some of that stuff. But it's just the 282 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 3: way it is, you know what. I It is really odd, Reggie, 283 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 3: because I fill in. I did stuff at Wei and Boston. 284 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 3: A couple of years back. I filled in LA Radio, 285 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 3: and it's much different When I fill in. There's a 286 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 3: lot of like people that do that stuff. But when 287 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 3: I'm on my own at nine on the Ben Malor Show, 288 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 3: I just I. 289 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: Just do everything. 290 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 3: And so therefore, you know, people can go out and 291 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 3: go comedy clubs and movies and do whatever they're doing 292 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 3: during the day and they don't have to worry about 293 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 3: the show. I'm the one worried about the show, so 294 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 3: you know. But in terms of as you said, I'd 295 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 3: like the Big Max. So it's it's kind of cool. 296 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: In that regard that I don't really worry. 297 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 3: You know, some people say, oh my god, you're what 298 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 3: are you gonna do if this this person's off for 299 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 3: that Parson. 300 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: Like, I don't care. 301 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 3: It doesn't really affect the quality of the product, and 302 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 3: that's the most important thing is the quality of the product. 303 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 3: Thank you, Reggie. I appreciate that. Steve from Ohio Rights 304 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 3: in Steve's got to complaint. He does not say what 305 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 3: part of Ohio. 306 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: I'll just assume he's in Dayton. 307 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 3: He says, Ben, why didn't you bash producer Bree on 308 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 3: Friday's show doing a Thanksgiving side dish list on your show. 309 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 1: That's Steve. 310 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 3: So Steve, First of all, I am a big fan 311 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,959 Speaker 3: of Brie. She's got some work ethic to her. She 312 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 3: works hard, she really does a good job, and so 313 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 3: that was the first thing I dodn't want to crush her. Secondly, 314 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 3: it's a tell that she doesn't listen. She used to listen, 315 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 3: but she's busy. She got lot of stuff going on, 316 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 3: so she's not a consumer. Otherwise she would have never 317 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 3: brought that up. 318 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: Right. 319 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 3: Anybody that has listened to me ranted all over the 320 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 3: years about my disdain for lazy talk radio knows that 321 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 3: that just drives me nuts. So yeah, Steve, if I 322 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 3: could have just bashed her and just ripped her apart, 323 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 3: I chose to take a higher plane on that one, 324 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 3: and I did not. I was gonna do my whole 325 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 3: rant about the holidays.

I think as 365 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 3: we get closer to the end of the year. They're 366 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 3: evergreen podcast. Next up, Barry from South Carolina says Yo 367 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 3: Yo Ma Benny and Danny g. 368 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 1: He says, how long did you date. 369 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 3: Your woman before you knew you were going to propose 370 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 3: to her? You know right away that there's there's there's 371 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 3: some interest there. You know right away that this has 372 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 3: got a shot at being something more than just a 373 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 3: run of the mill situation. 374 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 1: But normally it's not your call. You know. 375 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 3: I'd been on dates with people in the past, Barry, 376 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 3: where I thought, well, that's that could be something, but 377 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 3: they didn't agree, right, So it takes two two to tango, 378 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 3: as they say, and you also have to you have 379 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,439 Speaker 3: to make sure the jigsaw puzzle pieces fit together and 380 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 3: all that. 381 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: So you know how long, I don't know exact time. 382 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: It wasn't very long. 383 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,439 Speaker 3: I mean it was probably a couple months in and 384 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 3: then then it was like, okay, then you're trying to 385 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 3: get confirmation. 386 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: You know how it is. You know, you know what 387 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: I'm talking. 388 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 3: About, Barry, You feel me on that. When are you 389 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 3: leaving South Carolina? I thought you were leaving South Carolina. 390 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 3: You're waiting for the housing market to go back up, 391 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 3: the interest rates to go down more, Is that right? 392 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay. 393 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,160 Speaker 3: Next up on the mailbag, Alf from the Good Old 394 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 3: Write Sin. He says, it's that time of the year 395 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 3: when we reflect on and give thanks. As each year 396 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 3: turns and we get another year older, I find myself 397 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 3: getting jaded and more impatient with people and the state 398 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 3: of the world. Alf says, Now, as you read this, 399 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 3: I'm guessing you've already produced your annual. 400 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: Lazy radio podcast. 401 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 3: As you've been baited all week by the listeners. 402 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: I have not done that. I have not done that. Alf. 403 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: Maybe I'll do it during Christmas, he is. 404 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 3: My question is to you, Ben, do you ever scream 405 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 3: for a drop in your head during the show? As 406 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 3: people come and go from the show, I find myself 407 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 3: figuratively reaching for the drop button more and more as 408 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 3: many classics have been lost in the FSR black hole. 409 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 3: During the holiday season, I'm guessing there may be an 410 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 3: Evergreen podcast or two. So I would love for Danny's 411 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 3: Radio to unload his chamber of drops for another classic 412 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 3: episode like he's done in the past. Well, that's a 413 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 3: great idea, alf and we will talk. 414 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: To Danny and we'll see if we can do that. Yeah, 415 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: the whole drop thing. 416 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 3: I've gotten to the point in life where I used 417 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 3: to get very upset when the people I worked with 418 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 3: on the show, whoever. 419 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: They may be. You know, I'm not going to name anybody, but. 420 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 3: The people I work with when they're lazy and they 421 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 3: don't do their job, it used to drive me nuts. 422 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: I would get so upset, I say. 423 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 3: Cause I'm just not wired that way. I just my 424 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 3: goal is always to be perfect. I'm not perfect, no 425 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 3: one's perfect. But as long as you I was taught, 426 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 3: as long as you put the effort in and you mean, well, 427 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 3: you're in good shape. I've worked with so many people 428 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 3: over the years that are so lazy it is very frustrating. 429 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 3: But I got to the point, as I've gotten older 430 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 3: in life where I said, listen, I can't control that. 431 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 3: I love what I do and I like to put 432 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 3: the work into it, and I don't hire the people 433 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 3: I work with. If people at the company don't value 434 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,719 Speaker 3: that and they hire people that are lazy and they 435 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 3: that's on them. 436 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: I can't control that. 437 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 3: And the drop thing is just a product of I've 438 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 3: encouraged people to play drops. They don't listen to me. 439 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 3: I've encouraged people to put songs into the system so 440 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 3: we can play it when they're not there. They don't 441 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,360 Speaker 3: listen to me, And it's just guy the boy wise, 442 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 3: I don't even listen if they're that incompetent. 443 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: I don't even bother. I just control what I can control. 444 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 3: And it's funny you bring this up out because we 445 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 3: read an email from Reggie in Detroit and Reggie. 446 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: Was the show sounds the same. 447 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 3: I was explaining why the show sounds the same whether 448 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 3: you know people are gone or not. But yeah, Danny, 449 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 3: as far as the point, Alf will let Danny know 450 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 3: we want at least one podcast over Christmas or New 451 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 3: Year's which is just great drops, and I think that's 452 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 3: the way to go. Next up, Scott from Florida writes 453 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 3: in he says, Ben and Danny, there have been a 454 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 3: ton of there's been a ton. 455 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: Of dishwasher talk the past few weeks. By the way, 456 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: that term sounds like. 457 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 3: Something a church youth group leader or your father would 458 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 3: use as a euphanism for something naughty back in the 459 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 3: nineteen nineties. Scott says, this past weekend, my wife was 460 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 3: cleaning something in the sink and asked me, when was 461 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 3: the last time you cleaned this? You clean it every 462 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 3: few months, right, And I just looked at her and said, 463 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:39,239 Speaker 3: what is that? 464 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: She informed me. 465 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 3: Scott says it was the dishwasher filter that sits in 466 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 3: the middle of the electric dishwasher. Yeah, all the time, 467 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 3: I answered to Shirley, nodding my head. So, Scott says, 468 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 3: Ben and Danny, I had no clue that dishwashers had 469 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 3: a filter in the dead center in the I mean, 470 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 3: it makes sense, but it never crossed my mind. Certainly 471 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 3: I have never bent over pulled out the dish rack, 472 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 3: reached back and down. 473 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: And pulled out the filter. 474 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 3: In my forty six years on this round Earth, did 475 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 3: either of you realize this existed? And do you clean 476 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:26,479 Speaker 3: it out every few months? That's from Scott, So Scott, 477 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 3: I do know of the filter. I've told the story before. 478 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 3: The reason I am the dishwasher at the house is 479 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 3: years ago, my son and the wife would do the dishes, 480 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 3: and the dishes I'd look at the bottom of the 481 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 3: dishwasher and it would be covered with like spaghetti macaroni. 482 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 3: There'd be little pieces of I don't even know what, 483 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 3: some vegetable or something like that at the very bottom, 484 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 3: and it was like, WHOA, what is that? And so 485 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 3: they would just put the dishes and covered in food. 486 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 3: Assuming the dishwasher it would just take care of itself. 487 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 3: And of course it caused a lot of problems. And 488 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 3: that's why I'm the dishwasher. So I do know there's 489 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 3: a filter there. I gotta tell you though, I have 490 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 3: not changed the filter. 491 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: Since that incident. Since that incident with the dishwasher, and 492 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: we're in pretty good shape. 493 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 3: And here's why I do the dishes ninety nine percent 494 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 3: of the time and I clean every dish by hand. 495 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 3: I hand wash every dish. The dishwasher is just the 496 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 3: final stage. The dishwasher is just the closing part of 497 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,239 Speaker 3: the deal. You do most of it by hand, and 498 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 3: then you kill all the germs, for sure, all the bacteria. 499 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: You kill it with the dishwater. That's how I do it. 500 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 3: Thank you Scott for that pretty good email there from 501 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 3: Scott in Florida.

Thanks always, boys. Sorry Danny about your raiders. 511 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 3: There you go making Shuldar look like Tom Brady. Well 512 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 3: let's hold off on that. Ryan should didn't play that well. 513 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 3: There was like a bubble screen that went seventy yards. 514 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 3: Because the raiders don't know how to tackle. He didn't 515 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 3: play particularly well, and that's the Raiders are so bad, Ryan, 516 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 3: that the Browns won. Anyway, as far as the car, 517 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 3: the car I drive into work is a Ford Edge 518 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 3: with a lot of miles on it, a lot of 519 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 3: miles on it, and I've had that for years. Does 520 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 3: not get great gas mileage. I drive a long way 521 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 3: from the north Woods. But that's the car that I 522 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 3: drive mostly, the car that I would love. I just 523 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 3: love comfortable cars. I've told the story before, Ryan, that 524 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 3: the most comfortable car. 525 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: That I've ever been in. 526 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 3: We were covering the World Series in Cleveland years ago 527 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 3: and they had a Lincoln Continental and I sat down. 528 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 3: It was the rental. It was the only rental they 529 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,479 Speaker 3: had left. So we got this rental car and it 530 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 3: was like sitting on a sofa. I was driving around 531 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 3: Cleveland and it was like I was sitting on a 532 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 3: sofa and it was like the most comfortable seat. And 533 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 3: I was like this, you know, sitting in traffic wouldn't 534 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 3: be that bad in this thing. That'd be pretty good. 535 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 3: Be great, man, all right? Noah rights in. Noah in 536 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 3: Austin says happy Sunday. Ben and Danny Ope, things are 537 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 3: well in your world. I have a question, he said, 538 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 3: one for Danny, but Danny's not here, so we'll just 539 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 3: do the one for. 540 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: Me from Noah. 541 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 3: He says, Ben, since your bowel movements have been brought 542 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,719 Speaker 3: up more than once on this podcast, what is a 543 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 3: meal that you absolutely love but know for a fact 544 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 3: it will give you a little toilet trouble later on? 545 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: It's from Noah in Beautiful Austin, Texas. 546 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 3: Well, Noah, it is not really the food I've noticed 547 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 3: over the years. It's the fasting. I lost my gallbladder 548 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 3: years ago. I had my gallbladder chopped out of me. 549 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 3: It malfunctioned, and so I've determined since I fast, I 550 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 3: do inter minute fasting. If I go two days fasting 551 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 3: and then eat a heavy meal like a pastrami sandwich. 552 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: Or a double cheeseburger or something like. 553 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 3: That, if that happens, I got problems, all right, I 554 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 3: got major problems. I really only have about thirty minutes 555 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 3: after the time I finish eating before it's. 556 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: Bombs away, whether I'm ready for it or not. 557 00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 3: So it's not so much what I eat as if 558 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 3: I'm fasting a lot, it causes me more problems. 559 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: It causes me more problems. It does. That's just the 560 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: way it is. Let's see what else do we have 561 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: page down here. 562 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 3: There's some people with questions about Black Friday that took 563 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 3: place over the weekend. There's a magician in Missouri. This 564 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 3: guy Craig says, a magician in Missouri had an idea 565 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 3: to implant a computer chip into his hand and then 566 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 3: do some fun magic tricks with it. Unfortunately, Pierce, he 567 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 3: forgot the password and the chip has been lost. He 568 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 3: lost the password to the chip embedded inside his body. 569 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 3: So that does not seem like a a great magic trick. 570 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: You're not supposed to lose that. All right, we'll get 571 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: out on that. 572 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 3: I'll be back on the radio tonight and all the 573 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 3: way through, all the way through the week, no days off. 574 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 3: And remember though, Benny versus the Pennies available right now 575 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 3: on YouTube Benny Vspenny.
