1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:01,440
Speaker 1: Cut booms.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a sol fastion 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 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to Clearinghouse of

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,480

00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: with Ben Mallard starts right now.

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: In the air eywhere the Fifth Hour with me Ben

10
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: Mallor A very happy Friday to you the calm before

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: the final four weekend just finished. The Overnight Show took

12
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: a little pause back in the audio. Dojoe the Sweatshop

13
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: does not stop on this third day of April, as

14
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: we have made it through another week on the over

15
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: Night Show, and on this edition of the Fifth Hour

16
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: podcast we have Casper say Hello to Casper, and if

17
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: that was not enough, we also have the wild tale

18
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: of a surprise visit that happened this week. But we

19
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: begin with this and I wanted to address what has

20
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: been going on in these parts on the podcast. So

21
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: there is a moment in every long running show, whether

22
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:40,639
Speaker 1: it's radio, TV, some guy on YouTube that reviews gas

23
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: station tuna fish sandwiches. There's a moment when a very

24
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: familiar voice fades out and the consumer of the content

25
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: reacts like someone just pulled the Jenga block from the foundation.

26
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what are you doing? So here we

27
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: are for those who missed the Sunday mail bag, I

28
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: will address the snuffle up figus in the room. Danny

29
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: g the longtime co pilot of the Fifth Hour podcast,

30
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: has been let's call it less visible than trying to

31
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: find a parking spot in Santa Monica at about five

32
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: o'clock or four o'clock and the after good luck. So

33
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: this led to a bunch of email and when I

34
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: say a bunch, at least half a dozen. At least

35
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: half a dozen. There were people sending random social media

36
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: messages in the carrier pigeons from the Malard Militia Deep

37
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: State Division. And I'm not going to go through all

38
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: the messages. I'm not going to read names here. The

39
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: general I'm gonna sum this up in a brief recap.

40
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: The messages were, was Danny fired, No, he was definitely fire.

41
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: Was Danny demoted? Absolutely? Did Coveno and Rich force Danny

42
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: to make some kind of loyalty, vow and leave the podcast. Yes,

43
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: they must have done that. Danny was reassigned to a

44
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: secret audio gulog somewhere in Maldova where bad takes go

45
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: to die. Those are the kind of messages I may

46
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: have embellished some of those. I may have embellished some

47
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: of those. And to that, I would like to quote

48
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Relax, take a sip of whatever you sip,

49
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: and based on the listener feedback, I've gotten you guys

50
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: like you like some serious alcohol content. So Danny G

51
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: was not pushed. Danny G jumped, and not in a

52
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: dramatic reality show elimination way, more like a guy who

53
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: calmly hops off the treadmill after realizing even though I've

54
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: been on here for an hour, no one is going

55
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: to hand me a medal for being on the treadmill.

56
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: And it's burnout with a capital B. That's the headline.

57
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: Not sexy, not scandalous, doesn't end up on TMZ. However,

58
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: it's about as real as it gets, and to be fair,

59
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: to give you a little bit behind the story, Danny

60
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: G had told me months ago that he was planning

61
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: on quitting the podcast, that the Grind of doing this

62
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: every weekend was becoming a problem. And it makes sense.

63
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: Podcasting sounds easy, and for many it is pretty much.

64
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: Everyone's got a podcast, you just have to talk. But

65
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: to do a professional podcast and do it properly, there's

66
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: a lot that goes into it. You realize it's kind

67
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: of like hosting a dinner party every week where you

68
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: also have to cook clean, pretend you're interested for an hour. Eventually,

69
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: been the most talented of people start checking for the

70
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: off ramp, and Danny decided he wanted to exit. And

71
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: I'm not upset with Danny at all. I'm happy that

72
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: he did the podcast for as long as he did.

73
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: And Danny was trying to get more more shekels, and

74
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: something happened in our business years ago where they just

75
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: these media companies just don't give out more shekels. Doesn't

76
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: seem fair, but that's the way it works, and if

77
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: you've been listening closely, you could feel it. I did

78
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: get messages from some of the regulars who email me

79
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: on the mail bag and they're like, where's Danny been?

80
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: Why is Danny not here? What happened to Danny? And

81
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: this was several months ago, and I've noticed. I knew

82
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: this happened with the bus driver as well. You know,

83
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: you can kind of feel when the end is near.

84
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: Danny became a ghost. Not the scary kind of ghost.

85
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: There's nothing scary about it. More like Casper. If Casper

86
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: was scheduling conflicts almost every week, almost every week, the

87
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: timing just didn't line up, just didn't line up. The

88
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,799
Speaker 1: energy didn't match, the vibe got sporadic, and it's unfortunate

89
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: this happens, you know. So we we on this, and

90
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: on my end, we did what radio lifers do. We adjusted,

91
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: we pivoted, and if somebody didn't want to do the

92
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: show with you, you grabbed the podcast Mike like a

93
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: Times Square Street performer who just lost his juggling partner

94
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: and decide, all right, fine, I'll just do some more

95
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: mallord monologues. And that's it. And here's the thing the

96
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: solo show. We'll get more into it, but the solo

97
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: show is its own experience. It's like watching a guy

98
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: play basketball one on one against himself. You gotta be

99
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: a little creative. There's gonna be some chaos and occasionally

100
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: you wonder who's winning the argument. And yeah, so yet

101
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: in the radio business og radio people I like to think,

102
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: especially of the overnight variety, then teach of overnight are

103
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: wired differently. Silence is the enemy. Dead air is the

104
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: boogie man, not the boogie woogie, the boogeyman. You fill

105
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: the space, even if it means debating yourself like a

106
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: caffeinated philosopher at some kind of weird Venice Beach drum

107
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: circle where for some reason they have torches. I don't

108
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: know why. Why do they have torches? I don't know now,

109
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: So even the greatest solo act eventually wants to become

110
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: someone that has a second voice, not necessarily a co

111
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: host carved in stone, however, someone to lob the conversational

112
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: tennis pall you know, back across the net, which brings

113
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: us to the new plan, which is the temporary plan,

114
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: which is Lucy Goosey flexible, mix in a little jazz improv,

115
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: keeping your jazz commercial free Friday and Saturday. For now,

116
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: this is obviously the Friday show and the Saturday show

117
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: as well. For now, I will ride solo. That'll be

118
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: a solo ride, not recommended. I will captain the audio ship,

119
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: hoping it does not hit an iceberg. Now Sunday. That

120
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,679
Speaker 1: is where things will start getting interesting. In my head,

121
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: I have this idea. We'll see how this goes. We'll

122
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: have a rotating cast of and I say this in

123
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: air quotes, celebrity members of the Mallard Militia, big stars

124
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: of the Mallard Militia, someone from the extended universe stepping

125
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: into the big chair. As Mark Patrick used to say,

126
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: kind of like a guest drummer at a backyard jam session.

127
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: It's going to be unpredictable. It will definitely be at

128
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: least a little messy, and it should be some fun.

129
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: It should be some fun, because the truth is, nothing

130
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: in this business stays the same, not co host, not

131
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: time slots, not even careers. Now, David Gascon once held

132
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: down that chair, the Danny g Chair, which is now

133
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: the blank chair. Danny had that job for several years,

134
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 1: but David gag On, as he was called by Mike North,

135
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: had that gig and he traded it for Sunshine Early

136
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: Bird Dinners in Florida. He retired and went to a

137
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: convalescent home. And young guy to go to a convalescent home.

138
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: I don't know why he did. And it's not West

139
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: of the Four h five. I digress. So Danny g

140
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: is now helping out. He's talked about this on previous

141
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: episodes of the show. He's helping out at an elementary school,

142
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: which is either a noble life pivot or proof that

143
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: children have better looking agents than sports talk radio podcasts.

144
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: And I mentioned Roberto he's driving a school bus. Literally,

145
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: I'm not making that up. He quit radio to be

146
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: a school bus driver, which is mind blowing. The old

147
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: school radio heads will tell you that never used to happen.

148
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: People staying in their lanes, stay in your lane, held

149
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: their roles, wrote it out. However, this isn't that world.

150
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: Times changed, generations come and go, and it's not that

151
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: world anymore. This is the remix era, the gig economy

152
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: with podcast microphones. People shift priorities, change life, taps you

153
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: on the shoulder and says, eh, you know, maybe, yeah, yeah,

154
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: do something else for a while. Okay, that's fine. What

155
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: else should I do? I don't know. Here's an idea.

156
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: Let's do that now. The Fifth Hour is obviously not ending. No,

157
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: it is not. Until my contract runs out. I will

158
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: continue to do the Fifth Hour. It's just evolving.

159
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in

160
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 2: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio

161
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 2: dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to

162
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 2: listen live.

163
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: Like a band that lost a guitarist but kept playing,

164
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: figuring out the sound as it goes, you just fake

165
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: it till you make it. And somewhere out there in

166
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: this pile of email, it's it's still gonna be. I'm

167
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: gonna I know, I'm gonna get messages six months from now.

168
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: Where did Danny Jingo? Why is Danny up in on

169
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: the podcast? I don't understand you know that whole thing.

170
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: And I get some of you are concerned. You don't

171
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: listen every week, and you self incriminate yourself. You are

172
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: you just incriminate yourself when you announced that. So you're

173
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: a little concern, you're curious, you're you're slightly unhinged, and

174
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: you're loyal, And for that I am grateful. I'm so

175
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: grateful that you're loyal, which in its own way is

176
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: very comforting in times of change. Right, great, It's wonderful

177
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: because as long as people care enough to ask the show,

178
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: whatever version, it is still very much alive, still very

179
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: very much alive. Now I've had several emails about the

180
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: Cincinnati meet and greet. We got an RSVP from the

181
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: legendary Tommy in Atlanta, Big Atlanta Braves fan Tommy, who

182
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: was at Charleston Meet and greet, plans on attending the

183
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 1: event in Cincinnati, so that's exciting. We look forward to that.

184
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: April twenty fifth, it's a Saturday. It'll be in the

185
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: afternoon at a venue to be named later, a venue

186
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: to be named later. So that's exciting. We look forward

187
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: to that. And then we've got Boston and that'll be

188
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: on May eighth and May ninth. Saturday is the event

189
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 1: in Worcester, the Wusox game, and then on Friday will

190
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: be at a venue in Boston. I think we're going

191
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: to the Red Sox game. So this gonna be like

192
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: a late night get together. We're night people. We're night people,

193
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: so we'll have a good time and might just go

194
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: bar hopping. One of my first ever mallor meet and

195
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: greets was with in Boston was with Mikey Adams Planet,

196
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: Mikey Radio Legend in Boston and Mikey Adams and his crew.

197
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: We went on a tour of some of the great

198
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: night spots in Boston, and it was a bit of

199
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: a puzzle. We had a good time. We had a

200
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: great time. It was fun. Rick in Boston, if you remember,

201
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: he died in a car accident tragically. He was one

202
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: of my guys in the Malain Militia, but he was

203
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: there that night. We had a great time. It was

204
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: a lot of good conversation, which generally I try to

205
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: avoid social interaction. That was fun. Now turning the page

206
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: on that Once upon a time in a kingdom hidden

207
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: beyond the clouds, which is how I would describe the

208
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: corner of Ventura and Sepulvida, at about two in the morning,

209
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: about two in the morning, a voice from Radio Past

210
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: paid a visit who wasn't well. Take a guess if

211
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: you were listening, you know, by the way, that is

212
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: how all great stories begin, right, Once upon a time,

213
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: All great stories just like a Disney movie, except that

214
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: won't cost you an arm and a leg, and instead

215
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 1: of princesses, it's just a guy who works overnight at

216
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: Amazon and part time at Walmart, which frankly feels more

217
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: relatable and also comes with better health benefits. So the

218
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: other day I got a text from Edmund Dallas steamboat

219
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: Willie Garcia. A few days, a few days prior to

220
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: the event that took place, I got this message. And listen,

221
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: get a message randomly from someone you don't talk to

222
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: very much anymore, and it's the especially from Eddie. It's

223
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: the modern equivalent of receiving a telegram from the Civil War.

224
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: Eddie doesn't text that often unless something's going on. Unless

225
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: something's going going on. And so Eddie said, Hey, I

226
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: got this deal. I want to run Baya. And you know,

227
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: the same Eddie who I worked with for over twenty

228
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: years at Fox Sports Radio, which in radio years is

229
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: roughly one hundred and thirty seven. And he said, our guy,

230
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: Siria Sean wanted to stop by Eddie wood chaperone, which

231
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: is appropriate because any time someone agrees to spend time

232
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: with me voluntarily, clearly adult supervision is at least strongly recommended.

233
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: So Sean, it turns out, is one of those people

234
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: who makes you feel lazy just by existing. The backstory

235
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: if you don't know, Sirias Sean grew up in southern California,

236
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: was a Mega MEGAMEGAMEGA fan, super fan of the show

237
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: in high school. Now pushing thirty, not quite thirty, pushing thirty,

238
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: living in the Valley of the Sun there in Phoenix,

239
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: working multiple jobs, grinding through the overnight shift like it's

240
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: a competitive sport. Now. Meanwhile, I of course considered a

241
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: productive day if I am able to shower, brush my teeth,

242
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: and eat one meal and that that's it. So after

243
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: driving all night, remember I was in Vegas. We'll tell

244
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: some stories about that over the weekend, probably tomorrow. So

245
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: after driving all night and the malomobile from Vegas, which

246
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: may or may not sound glamorous. If it does, you think, well,

247
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: that's great, until you realize it's just driving from Vegas

248
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: to La mostly involves Okay, I gotta I gotta hit

249
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: the urinal, so let's go to Baker. We'll stop in Baker. Okay, good,

250
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: we'll stop in Baker, no problem. Moving on from that,

251
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: all right, another pit stop and Barstow. I'm convinced they

252
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: timed out all of the different towns to accommodate the

253
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: amount of time a middle aged adult male will need

254
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: to go to the bathroom. It's about every hour, hour

255
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: and a half. Sometimes there's a stop or two hours,

256
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: and it's about what you need. So just a lot

257
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: of pit stops on the way back and some reflection

258
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: under the cover of darkness and Death Valley. So I

259
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: hopped in the car after driving all night, slept her

260
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: a few hours, and headed down from the north Woods

261
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: up to Sherman Oaks to the Premiere Networks facility again

262
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: Ventura and Sapalvda right across from the Cheesecake Factory. For

263
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: those scoring at home, the intersection of dreams, keep your

264
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: feet on the ground and keep reaching with his styes

265
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: and traffic. A lot of protests from Wokesters across the

266
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: street there and there was Eddie. There was Eddie. I

267
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: had not seen him since the Charger season ended. The

268
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: way Chargers season seasons almost always in my entire life.

269
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 1: Just kind of a shrug and a sigh and some

270
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: people asking questions. Wait, that's it. That's like we spent

271
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: a lot of time and this is all that happened. Now,

272
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 1: myself and Eddie. We used to do these mini meet

273
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: and greets at Sofi Stadium, or as Helmet Man insists,

274
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: Sofa Stadium. Haven't heard from Helmet Man in a while.

275
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: What's going on with that? Which is honestly more comfortable sounding,

276
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: you know, Sofi Stadium it's been about seventeen months since

277
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: Eddie got whacked. He got the pink slip, one year

278
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: and five months. Not that anyone's counting, all right, Not

279
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 1: that anyone's counting, except of course I am. Because when

280
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: you work with someone for as long as we work together,

281
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, they're gone. And I

282
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: was in Kansas City when all this went down. I

283
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: had a great alibi. I was at the malar meetings

284
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs game when news started trickling out. I

285
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: was at the Chiefs Broncos game. That's the one that

286
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: ended on the Chiefs special teams blocking the Broncos field goal,

287
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: a chip shot field goal. So that's that. And so

288
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: I was out of town and then all of a sudden,

289
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: Eddie's gone, and I'm getting all these phone calls, and yeah,

290
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: it's a plot twist. So Eddie became a big part

291
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: of the rhythm of the show goes without saying and

292
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: the dynamic I think Abbott and Costello, which is a

293
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: dated reference. But Eddie was the straight man, and I

294
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: was the babbling balloon filled with hot air, and Eddie

295
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: was the string keeping me from floating into low Earth orbit,

296
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: which seemingly almost happens on a nightly basis, and he

297
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: would help set me up. I of course would knock

298
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: it down on body blow, body blow, body blow, arm bar,

299
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: arm bar, timing, pacing, the whole dance. Don't believe in chemistry.

300
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: Just work well together. Just work well together. Now, since

301
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: Eddie was kicked out, no live updates all recorded, no

302
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 1: one to play off of, no one to play off of,

303
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: no one there to say, actually, you know, you shouldn't

304
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: have said it that way or that's not true, which,

305
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: as it turns out, was a very active part of

306
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: the show. I did not realize as much. So you've

307
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: had to adjust as a consumer. I have had to

308
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: adjust on this side of the microphone, which is a

309
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: polite way, I believe, a very polite way of saying

310
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: that I now argue with myself for a living. I

311
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: get paid a decent amount of money to argue with myself.

312
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:03,479
Speaker 1: That's it. That's the gig. So low radio is a

313
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: dying art form, mostly because consultants and program directors say, well, it's.

314
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 3: Boring, boring, and it's not right and nobody can do

315
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 3: it by themselves and all this stuff, and it requires

316
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 3: you to be slightly unwell, slightly unwell.

317
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: In a charming, marketable way. You feel me on that

318
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: it's controlled schizophrenia for entertainment purposes. I remember hearing stories

319
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: about a legend in radio who did some stuff at

320
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: KFI and LA back on the day. Phil Henry had

321
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: a syndicated show, and Phil was the maestro of creating characters,

322
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: having conversations with those characters and just going for it.

323
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: And just he did it because he went to a

324
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: small radio station and they had nobody calling, and so

325
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: he just had to create this magic and he was

326
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: able to pull it off. A Hall of famer, and

327
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: it really does become schizophrenia in a controlled environment for

328
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: entertainment purposes. Only you need multiple voices in your head

329
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: at the same time, each with its own agenda. You've

330
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: got the outraged voice, the skeptical I'm very good with

331
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: the skeptical, the tired one, the one wondering if we

332
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: left the stove on. I've done that. I've gone to

333
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: the gym with the stove on. You rotate them and

334
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: it's like a pitching staff, or maybe a bullpen is

335
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: the better way to describe it. You've got different arm angles.

336
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: In my case, you've got different tones, different pacing. It

337
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: creates the illusion, the illusion of dialogue without anyone else

338
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: in the room. Without anyone else in the room. Now

339
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: we all have an internal monologue, that documentary voice that

340
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: announces to everyone else what you're doing. Of course, nobody

341
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: else here's that other than you, So in many ways

342
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,239
Speaker 1: we all have a bit of schizophrenia. The moment you

343
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: start talking to those other voices, will that becomes something

344
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: of a medical concern at that point, So you rotate

345
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: it again like a bullpen, different tone, pacing. You have

346
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: to be very creative. You have to create the illusion

347
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: of dialogue without anyone else in the room. Why is

348
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: there no one else in the room? I don't know why,

349
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: which is either very impressive to some or concerning, depending

350
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: on your perspective. Now, think of it like playing tennis.

351
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: I guess it's called racketball, where you throw the you

352
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: hit the ball against the wall and hit it back

353
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: and all that. The wall always returns the ball, however,

354
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: you control the angle. The problem is sometimes the wall

355
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: starts winning and there's no one to sub it, no

356
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: commercial break. The gremlins attack, they win, There's no one

357
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 1: there where you turn and say, hey, you take this one.

358
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: I gotta go. I gotta go down to the toilet.

359
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: I gotta go to the powder room. It's just you,

360
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: your thoughts, and whatever questionable analogy you can stretch into

361
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: ten minutes of a radio show.

362
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in

363
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,040

00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 2: listen live.

366
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: So it's the one man band, the one man man

367
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: of broadcasting. You become that, right, Not the charming kind

368
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 1: to see at the county fair, the slightly concerning kind

369
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: where the guy has the harmonica strapped to his neck,

370
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: there's a bass drum on his back, symbols between his knees,

371
00:24:55,600 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 1: the tambourines tied to his limbs, and for reasons no

372
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: one on God's Green Earth can explain, there's a banjo there.

373
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: Why would there be a banjo? Why not a mandolin?

374
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: Dick from Dayton loves the mandolin. He's part of several bands.

375
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: Why the banjo? Now? Meanwhile, Eddie's out there doing what

376
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: he always wanted. Right now. Eddie's podcasting, carving out his

377
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: own lane. Stay in your lane. He's talking hockey without

378
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: me interrupting him every eleven seconds. So good for him,

379
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 1: and genuine I mean that mostly. I mean that mostly.

380
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: And as far as Sirius Shawn is concerned, he's standing

381
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: there taking it all in, probably wondering how the sausage

382
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: it gets made and realizing it's less gourmet kitchen and

383
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: more guy microwaving. Leftover is made in a lab in

384
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 1: Belarus at three in the morning. Just a lab in

385
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: Belarus at three in the morning. And yet that's the

386
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: beauty of it all. That's the beauty of it all. Radio,

387
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:02,719
Speaker 1: which I fell in love with as a kid. Why

388
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: didn't I fall in love with TV? I fell in

389
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: love with radio. I was a fat kid. Fat kids

390
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: don't go on television. I love radio. So radio, especially

391
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: the overnights, is not supposed to be perfect. We are

392
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: definitely not perfect. It's supposed to feel like a conversation

393
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: you kind of stumbled into and you ease drop into

394
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: it and that's it. You spy on it. It was

395
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: a little messy, a little weird, occasionally insightful, often ridiculous

396
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: with a capital are like life. However, we have many

397
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,719
Speaker 1: more hot takes on the radio show, and as I

398
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: sat there catching up with my long lost friend Eddie Garcia,

399
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: talking shop, swapping stories about great moments, meet and greets

400
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: with listeners, all that stuff. It hit me the show

401
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: has again changed. Of course it has. Everything changes, nothing

402
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: stays the same. However, the core of it, to me

403
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: is still the same, and it's a combination of you

404
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: being part of it, feeding the content kitty, and then

405
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: me with my nonsense. So that's all still the same.

406
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 1: You know. It's still just a guy, or in this case,

407
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: a slightly sleep deprived gas bag, talking into a microphone,

408
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 1: trying to make sense of the sporting world and occasionally,

409
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 1: certainly more on this podcast. You're my own thoughts. That's it.

410
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: And sometimes there's a co host, sometimes there isn't. Sometimes

411
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: you have a partner to set you up, and sometimes

412
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: you're just playing tennis against the wall again, hoping the

413
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: wall doesn't start talking back, although if it did at

414
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: this point I'd probably give it its own segment with

415
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: a creative name and sponsored by tire Rack or one

416
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: of our many other great sponsors like Wee Bowl. Meanwhile,

417
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: food he fun, We need some food, he fun. Oh

418
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: give me the rood? All right, good, I'm in the mood.

419
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 1: I'm in the mood, all right, footy fun. These are

420
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: food related stories, so this is exciting unless it's not.

421
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: The pickle flavored hydration very important, very important. And this

422
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: story on the food industry website says Grillo's Pickles, I'm

423
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: not a pickle guy. Grillo's Pickles and Liquid IV I

424
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: have used Liquid IV have formed a group. They're they're teasing.

425
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: They tease the idea online and now it's happening there.

426
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: You're gonna get I guess this is already available. The

427
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: Liquid IV plus Grillos Pickles drop Pickle Flavored Hydration is

428
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: the headline pickle flavored hydration mix available. I'll stick with

429
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: the strawberry. Thanks for asking. Now what else do we have?

430
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: Alf's gonna go buy seven cases at Costco and then

431
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna go over to and say, well, I've had

432
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,479
Speaker 1: enough at Costco. They've cut me off on that, so

433
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: I can't get any more of the pickle Liquid ivy,

434
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: So I'm going over Sam's Club and see what I get. Now,

435
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: moving on from that, Little Caesars has put four different

436
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: flavors in one pizza crust, so that seems like a

437
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: little much. I don't eat it Little Caesars, although there

438
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: is one near the market I go to to get

439
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: my tortillas and that place is always packed, always packed. Anyway,

440
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: The new pizza from Little Caesars takes a full pizza

441
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: crust and splits it into four sections. You've got cheese, pepperoni, jalapano,

442
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: and bacon before slicing everything into sixteen breadsticks. So that's

443
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: the way to go on that. Each order comes with

444
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: crazy sauce for dipping, turning it into a shareable situation.

445
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: So it sounds like it's perfect for parties, perfect for

446
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: parties and all that. And four and one stick at

447
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: eight dollars. They say prices may vary, which means in

448
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: California it's more expensive. What else do we have? KFC

449
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: in Spain has launched a fried chicken donor the kebab

450
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: with wild rotating sign stunt. Part of this well, I

451
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: love fried chicken. I've never seen fried chicken on a kebab.

452
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: I have to check that out now. We used to

453
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: have Danny g on this podcast. Danny loved Arby's. He

454
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: thought it was a Monday launtering operation. That was his take,

455
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: not mine. Arby's is offering a new dippable sandwich in

456
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: the in the Sandwich game in the it's the launch

457
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: of the French dip Royale at participating locations. This began

458
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:56,080
