Speaker 1: Kutbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow, it's a clearinghouse
Speaker 2: of hot takes. Break free for something special. The Fifth
Speaker 2: Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in.
Speaker 3: The air everywhere, The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben Mahler
Speaker 3: and Danny g Radio.
Speaker 1: Because hey, four hours a night not enough. This is
Speaker 1: the Extra Crispy, Extra Spicy, not original recipe podcast, only
Speaker 1: available in the podcast The Overnight Show is the original recipe,
Speaker 1: which can get five days a week, four hours a
Speaker 1: night unless for some reason somebody screws up and the
Speaker 1: podcast doesn't go up. But we're back at it on
Speaker 1: a Sunday Sunday Sunday Fun Day, the twenty first day
Speaker 1: of the great month of April. As the days keep
Speaker 1: going away, it is National Bulldogs Are Beautiful Day today,
Speaker 1: and as a proud bulldog owner, I will make sure
Speaker 1: today to spoil Moxie ef ef Earf, my dog, my
Speaker 1: bulldog Moxie, my dream dog, Moxie who sits around and
Speaker 1: farts all the time.
Speaker 4: What a life, What a wonderful life there? How do
Speaker 4: you spoil her? Do you like take your socks off
Speaker 4: and ball them up and throw your socks?
Speaker 1: Well, Moxie is I've talked about. I have two dogs.
Speaker 1: I have Luigi, who's insane. He's still a puppy. Once
Speaker 1: he comes down, he'll be cool. But Moxie's just the
Speaker 1: chillest dog in the world. And my favorite thing that
Speaker 1: Moxie does is not that she farts all the time
Speaker 1: and has endless slobber and her tongue out all the time.
Speaker 1: That is pretty cool, though it is neat Those are
Speaker 1: all great characteristics, But I love the fact that she
Speaker 1: gets so lazy at night that she will lay down
Speaker 1: like she's dead, and when you walk by her, she
Speaker 1: will not move her body at all, but her eyes
Speaker 1: will track you like that's the only thing in her
Speaker 1: body that move. It's the funniest thing. I shill lay
Speaker 1: there like he's dead, nothing will be moving other than
Speaker 1: her eyes kind of slowly following you as you walk
Speaker 1: around the room. So I think that's that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: It's a go fly a kite day today? Also so big.
Speaker 4: That was one of my mom's favorite things to tell
Speaker 4: us when we were getting on her nerves. Fly kite.
Speaker 4: Either that or go play in the middle of a
Speaker 4: busy freeway.
Speaker 1: That's good parenting. Never successful as a kid getting the
Speaker 1: kite in the air one. I had friends that would
Speaker 1: get the kite in the air. Now I could manage
Speaker 1: the kite once it's in the air, but the hardest
Speaker 1: part is getting it up in the air, and I
Speaker 1: did not succeed on that. The hardest part is getting
Speaker 1: it up. How dare you? These are fine, Hollis not
Speaker 1: not as good as National Garlic Day, which was back
Speaker 1: on Friday, which I getting it up I loved, I loved,
Speaker 1: I loved. Before we get to the mail, but I do.
Speaker 1: A little pop goes the culture, I wonder to a
Speaker 1: little pop goes to the culture, John John, Okay, pop
Speaker 1: goes the culture. These are some random stories that we
Speaker 1: we think are interesting. That's why we're talking about them.
Speaker 1: The things that happened today, last couple of days, whatever,
Speaker 1: things that caught our attention. I thought this was rather amazing.
Speaker 1: Your you're Disneyland weekend, Danny going on this weekend, Big
Speaker 1: Disney and all that. And there's a report that says
Speaker 1: Star Wars, the Disney franchise that's owned by Disney, Star
Speaker 1: Wars the box office has not covered the cost of
Speaker 1: the movie franchise. That they keep making these movies, but
Speaker 1: internally the numbers they're they're not generating profits that it's
Speaker 1: just not working. If I'm a financial standpoint, how could
Speaker 1: you screw up Star Wars?
Speaker 4: No wonder that Star Wars milk they have and Star
Speaker 4: Wars Land is like twenty dollars per cup. It makes
Speaker 4: sense now, Yeah, they will find a way to recoup
Speaker 4: that much.
Speaker 1: There are some theories because they've changed the Star Wars
Speaker 1: brand over the years and they're trying to target female
Speaker 1: audiences more than the you know, just the dudes, or
Speaker 1: make it the original story and any of that might
Speaker 1: be part of the problem. But I think they're just
Speaker 1: spending too much money to make the movies because they
Speaker 1: people do watch these movies. That Disney bought Lucasfilm for
Speaker 1: four billion, the net box office profit from Star Wars
Speaker 1: films has only been one point two billion, and that
Speaker 1: does not even factor in the cost of marketing the films,
Speaker 1: which is an insane amount of money. The latest Indiana
Speaker 1: Jones film. I was reading this. It's another lucasfilm's property
Speaker 1: actually lost the company a significant amount of money. So
Speaker 1: it's good to know, Danny, you're helping Disney out because
Speaker 1: they are struggling here. So it's good to know you're
Speaker 1: taking care of the people over there at Disney.
Speaker 4: I only spent four hundred dollars on food yesterday.
Speaker 1: Well here's a shocking revelation from the world of food.
Speaker 1: Did not make foody fun the other day. But according
Speaker 1: to a professor at Grandi University, University of Parma in Italy.
Speaker 1: He says, tomato sauce on pizza is an American creation.
Speaker 1: It is not Italian. This is a food historian and
Speaker 1: this has caused major outrage in it in Italia.
Speaker 4: I've heard this before. Isn't it that they just crush
Speaker 4: up tomato and put that on the bread, the flat bread? Yeah,
Speaker 4: to a sauce, right, all right? So the story can
Speaker 4: he is the guy from Parma University. How great is
Speaker 4: it you go to Parma University? Imagine the food at Parma.
Speaker 1: University says He argued that the pizza rosa or red
Speaker 1: pizza topping. The tomato sauce was founded when Italian immigrants
Speaker 1: took advantage of their newfound ingredients on American soil to
Speaker 1: improve it. And yet you know these people in it.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, though, you rat, bastard, what's wrong?
Speaker 4: Okay, what an improvement it is? Though, Like, can you
Speaker 4: imagine a margarita pizza but with no sauce?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, well, I don't care who invented it is
Speaker 1: delicious and who the hell cares? You know, I doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: According to this book, though, which promises to debonk lies
Speaker 1: and miss about Italian cuisine, said that not only did
Speaker 1: tomatoes originate in the New World, but so did tomato sauce.
Speaker 1: Italians only discovering tomato sauce in abundant equalities when they
Speaker 1: started immigrating to the US in the nineteenth century. So
Speaker 1: that's the argument. Well, good, I'm glad they immigrated because
Speaker 1: the pizza is delicious. It's freaking wonderful. Way to go,
Speaker 1: right way to go.
Speaker 4: And we were talking about mid level restaurants the other day.
Speaker 4: I wish there was a better option than Olive Garden.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do they still have the all you can eat
Speaker 1: the pasta?
Speaker 4: I don't know. I haven't been there in a while.
Speaker 4: My wife refuses to go there. She hates their food.
Speaker 4: She says she feels sick anytime she eats there. But
Speaker 4: if you're a sponsor right now, we'll go again if
Speaker 4: you give us a free certificate.
Speaker 1: But we still need Arby's to sign up. Yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: both go to art. We'll do a show from Arby's
Speaker 1: if they buy advertising. It's the Burger King effect with
Speaker 1: them though. Ben years ago, I went and the food
Speaker 1: was pretty decent quality, But then year by year it
Speaker 1: seems like the quality of the ingredients has gone down
Speaker 1: and down and down. They're doing the limbo How low
Speaker 1: can you get? Yeah, how low can you go? What
Speaker 1: else pops up here before we get to the mail bag.
Speaker 1: I'm sure this came up on Covino and Rich The
Speaker 1: woman who took a corpse?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah into the bank.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 4: We had a good laugh about this.
Speaker 1: One Weekend at Bernie's becomes Reality.
Speaker 4: Weekend at Bernie's too, because in that sequel they actually
Speaker 4: went to the bank to get some of his money out.
Speaker 1: How do you end up in a position in life
Speaker 1: where you think you can get away with that?
Speaker 4: It was only thirty four hundred dollars, not thirty four thousand,
Speaker 4: not three hundred and forty thousand, thirty four hundred.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So if you didn't see the story, it's a
Speaker 1: bit ghoulish um. But that happened. It's on video. It happened.
Speaker 1: I saw it. I saw the video, Danny. It happened.
Speaker 1: A woman takes a corpse into a bank trying to
Speaker 1: scam some money. Was caught on camera transporting the cadaver
Speaker 1: in a taxi yeah uncle, yeah, and even getting the
Speaker 1: the cabby to help move the body.
Speaker 4: And so the teller was like, what's wrong with your uncle?
Speaker 4: And she's like, uncle, sit up. If you don't seem better,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna have to take you to the hospital. Oh
Speaker 4: my god. Yeah, that is bad acting. She was horrible.
Speaker 4: The head kept falling back, and they knew what she
Speaker 4: was up to. She in trouble for embezzlement, theft, yeah,
Speaker 4: one other charge.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think you can't do that with bodies.
Speaker 1: I think you no move bodies around your I don't
Speaker 1: know what the term is. There's a legal term for that.
Speaker 1: I forget what it is, but you can't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, she's gonna be doing some jail time.
Speaker 1: So I thought of you when I saw this story
Speaker 1: this week, and I thought of Klay Travis, the circus
Speaker 1: elephant that escaped and just was casually walking.
Speaker 4: Yes, I saw some tweets on this that were hashtag
Speaker 4: animal Thunderdome.
Speaker 1: Butte Montana and a traveling world Sir Jordan Worlds. I
Speaker 1: didn't know they still had circuses with animals. I thought
Speaker 1: the Wokester's got rid all that there are. That to
Speaker 1: me is the most amazing part of the story. They're
Speaker 1: still circus animals.
Speaker 4: There's a couple of companies still trying to do circus stuff.
Speaker 4: I've seen one pop up in Burbank a couple of
Speaker 4: years ago.
Speaker 1: In Burbanka. Yeah, okay, when I was in San Jose,
Speaker 1: I was going to the Costco to get gas wedding
Speaker 1: weekend and I drove by they had a circus, but
Speaker 1: not one with animals. They had the human circus. The
Speaker 1: hardest part is getting it up that was out of
Speaker 1: context audio.
Speaker 4: I know there's somewhere they're just trying to stick to
Speaker 4: horses and the safer animals where they don't think the
Speaker 4: activist groups will come after them. But it's pretty awesome.
Speaker 4: That they had elephants at this one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty pretty bananas. So yeah, residents of Butte
Speaker 1: Montane they saw an adult female elephant escaped from the
Speaker 1: holding area and was traveling around. Just there's plenty of
Speaker 1: cell phone vide everyone immediately the first thing you do,
Speaker 1: you'd think you'd try to protect yourself. No, you pull
Speaker 1: out your phone and you're like, this is going to
Speaker 1: go viral, this is gonna go And then the police
Speaker 1: had to shut down the streets. And but then the
Speaker 1: funniest is the guy from the circus the elephant keepers
Speaker 1: like running after the elephant. It's like a like a
Speaker 1: nineteen eighties comedy.
Speaker 4: It is. It's like a Herbie the love Bug.
Speaker 1: Just just absolutely you can.
Speaker 4: Just imagine you're driving down the road with your wife
Speaker 4: and out of know her, she's like elephant, Like dabe
Speaker 4: if I've been dieting?
Speaker 1: Uh, all right, last, the last one in the pop
Speaker 1: goes the culture. Then we'll get to the mail bag
Speaker 1: and this one from just human activity. How many times
Speaker 1: did you see the story? How many times a day
Speaker 1: do Americans check their phones? No? I didn't see this, Okay, good,
Speaker 1: So how many times a day on average they've done
Speaker 1: the research on this. Dude, your average American check their phone.
Speaker 1: Do do do do Do Do Do do.
Speaker 4: Be it's gotta be two hundred times two hundred and
Speaker 4: twelve times two.
Speaker 1: Hundred twelve times. That's a lot. Two hundred twelve is
Speaker 1: a lot. You actually went over, Danny, So you do
Speaker 1: not win the showcase showdown, you do. I'm sorry you
Speaker 1: don't win, loser, but it's I thought it was still
Speaker 1: a high number. One hundred and forty four times a
Speaker 1: day Americans check their phone. So I did some malord
Speaker 1: math on this, and if my math is corrected, now,
Speaker 1: I'm not average. I only sleep four or five hours
Speaker 1: a day, but most people sleep eight hours a day.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I didn't take that into consideration. Yes, we're
Speaker 4: in radio.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we we're up a little more than that. We
Speaker 1: we're definitely over two unto times a day. But if
Speaker 1: you if you are eight hours a day asleep, you're
Speaker 1: awake sixteen hours. So let's do the math. So if
Speaker 1: you're wake sixteen hours, one hundred and forty four times
Speaker 1: a day, you're checking your phone over sixteen hours. That
Speaker 1: is eighteen times every hour that you're checking your phone.
Speaker 1: Take that for data. Put that in your pipe and
Speaker 1: smoke it. Okay, who says you don't learn anything from
Speaker 1: a dopey weekend podcast?
Speaker 4: Come on?
Speaker 1: Yeah, eighteen times every hour? Oh you're you're awake. I
Speaker 1: did think it was more than that, But when you
Speaker 1: factor in the sleep thing, it makes sense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we forgot that normal people's sleep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, before nineteen ninety two, people did not do that
Speaker 1: because smartphones did not exist. You were not pulling out
Speaker 1: your flip phone to check it eighteen times.
Speaker 4: So now what did people do back then? One hundred
Speaker 4: and forty two different times? Play pocket pool.
Speaker 1: Actually talk to each other, which is very uncomfortable, and
Speaker 1: pocket pool also Yeah, Now, how often, Danny do you
Speaker 1: have your significant of other say, phones down, phone free? Nope, nope,
Speaker 1: get off your phone.
Speaker 4: She doesn't say anything, but it's a look. Yeah, so
Speaker 4: I'll see this look and I'll be like, and now
Speaker 4: I'm proactive. I'll put the phone away before I enter
Speaker 4: the living room.
Speaker 1: It's a veteran move. So I always have the well,
Speaker 1: I got to do it for work thing, which but
Speaker 1: it's true work. It doesn't work on the weekends.
Speaker 4: There's times where I got to go back to my phone.
Speaker 4: To check that the podcast has loaded and has you know,
Speaker 4: shot out to the world, or I have to do
Speaker 4: this or this description or there. There's stuff we do
Speaker 4: have to do for work with social media, et cetera.
Speaker 4: So it is hard with what we do for a
Speaker 4: living to just always have the phone down. Yeah on
Speaker 4: the week exactly.
Speaker 1: But you know, I've had my wife confiscate my phone.
Speaker 1: I've had that on the way well I believe that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Jesus grabbed it. No, no, you're not on your phone
Speaker 1: though it can't. Then I'm like, okay, but one hundred
Speaker 1: and forty four times a day.
Speaker 4: According to that little Hawaii trip we took before it,
Speaker 4: my wife said, and on this trip, we're not going
Speaker 4: to have our phones out whatsoever. And I'm like, you
Speaker 4: made that rule up, not me. Ze.
Speaker 1: This was done the study by the University of California, Irvine.
Speaker 1: Shout out ant eaters, and the professor wrote a book
Speaker 1: about attention span and how to refocus when distracted.
Speaker 3: Let's get to the mail bag, mail bag, mail bag,
Speaker 3: mail bag, Go hio A. It's but ohioal an amazing
Speaker 3: song this week on the Overnight Show about Lorraine Ah
Speaker 3: and the first Loraina theme song has been produced by
Speaker 3: Malard Militia member.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's a made member now.
Speaker 1: She's part of the club. We we got to let
Speaker 1: her know where all the Mather theme music is. Though
Speaker 1: she hasn't found the archive of the old songs because
Speaker 1: we got to keep those on the air, and I'm
Speaker 1: not sure where they are. But we'll. I figure once
Speaker 1: we get more Loraina songs, she'll want to play them,
Speaker 1: so we'll put them in the.
Speaker 4: And this is exactly, And I think a lot of
Speaker 4: the other ones are dated anyways, because they'd have like
Speaker 4: Roberto's name or my name, or other producers' names.
Speaker 1: There's so many different people. But they're classics. You know
Speaker 1: they're classics.
Speaker 4: You are the pummeler of producers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they are classic songs and it brings back
Speaker 1: good memories, fond memories. We love the Danny ge era
Speaker 1: on the show. We love the Jake Warner era, Roberto era.
Speaker 1: The I wouldn't say the Iowa Sam era because I
Speaker 1: didn't last that long, but you know, stopover, you know the.
Speaker 4: Temple Iowa that was a sneeze.
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much pretty much anyway. First one up, Steve

Speaker 1: She's got good genetics.
Speaker 4: Oh and she's got a sweet tooth like you wouldn't believe.
Speaker 4: I've seen her knock out like four donuts during one show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and she doesn't get any weight. I'm like I
Speaker 1: told her, I said, listen, Lora, I will I will
Speaker 1: change the way I consume food and the way you
Speaker 1: consume food for like a couple of weeks. I'll eat
Speaker 1: whatever I want. You can. You'll definitely gain weight. Definitely
Speaker 1: gain weight if you follow.
Speaker 4: It's the most annoying thing when you hear someone say
Speaker 4: I really need to gain like twelve pounds. Yeah, what
Speaker 4: a problem to have. Holy crap.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So to answer your question, Steve, I don't know
Speaker 1: what you're from Omaha.

Speaker 1: you can let us know it's popular and we'll look
Speaker 1: it up. I don't know any foods Omaha steaks, but
Speaker 1: that's still I don't think steaks generated in Omaha. So
Speaker 1: I don't know what, but I ask your question, No,
Speaker 1: I'd love to try as many different things as we can.
Speaker 1: We've had a really good run. We've got the stuff
Speaker 1: from BUCkies, which was really cool. We got all the
Speaker 1: treats from BUCkies the truck stop.
Speaker 4: Not only are they famous for their steaks, they are
Speaker 4: well known for their Uben sandwich.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I like a Ruben sandwich. Doesn't transport very
Speaker 1: well though, the Ruben. I don't think you can send
Speaker 1: that in the mail. It would taste very good. But yes,
Speaker 1: see it's kind of neat. It's fun that we have
Speaker 1: a big stick and we're on a lot of different places,
Speaker 1: and I would love to try as many different foods

Speaker 1: we saved it for this week. He says, what are
Speaker 1: your least what are your guys least favorite games to
Speaker 1: play in a casino, whether it be boring or one
Speaker 1: you've just had the worst luck at at playing, he says,
Speaker 1: And he says, ps the original NBA team of the
Speaker 1: fifth hour. The Clippers start their title hunt today. Let's
Speaker 1: go Clippers. Here we go Clipper Nation. Yeah, okay, hey.
Speaker 4: I'll give your Clippers some credit. Bend because I actually
Speaker 4: heard you praising the Lakers on the airline.
Speaker 1: I did not. I did not praise gentlemen.
Speaker 4: No, I did not have chairs and applause the podcast
Speaker 4: right now, it's a lot of time. Ever on Fox
Speaker 4: Sports Radio network, Ben Mallard, there's a promo running. I
Speaker 4: couldn't believe what I was hearing.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 4: I thought it was Ai, but it wasn't. It was
Speaker 4: Mallard praising the Lakers for taking the Nuggets head on.
Speaker 1: That was out of context audio. I merely stated. I
Speaker 1: am annoyed as a consumer of the industrial complex of sports.
Speaker 1: It annoys me when teams try to jerry mander the
Speaker 1: playoff matchups and I'm.
Speaker 4: Not really hearing any of this right now. I heard
Speaker 4: the promo. That's all I need to do. Well, you
Speaker 4: can you hear? You heard what you want to hear.
Speaker 1: And let me point out, by the way, I I
Speaker 1: only gave Marshall credit.
Speaker 4: Because win if one Zion one game shut up, if Zion.
Speaker 1: Had not fallen into a ball of uh.
Speaker 4: Oh, still would have hit that three in front of them.
Speaker 4: You still would have had the steal with the Middle.
Speaker 1: Orleans was a was a freight train. They were.
Speaker 4: They were not going to be stopped their way right
Speaker 4: to the Nuggets.
Speaker 1: Nah. But the Lakers were trying to give the game
Speaker 1: back to New Orleans. But when Zion got hurt that day,
Speaker 1: and that's fine, Listen, they're gonna lose to Denver. But
Speaker 1: I like the fact that they did not bow down
Speaker 1: the New Orleans. And I'm annoyed. But as I'm very consistent,
Speaker 1: Danny Way comes to that, I'm very consistent. Then when
Speaker 1: it comes back on me.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: Mike also did mention the twenty six fund facts about Fullerton,
Speaker 1: a city he lives in. Why else, but he said
Speaker 1: that he says, if you liked Ozzie WA's fifty fun
Speaker 1: facts about Australia, you're gonna love these twenty six fun
Speaker 1: facts about Fullerton if you're unfamiliar Fullerton. There's cal State Fullerton,
Speaker 1: the Titans, which is where I believe Cedric Seballs did

Speaker 4: first beam was laid down, nobody was slowing down past that.
Speaker 4: There's you know, there's always been construction there going on
Speaker 4: for a while now, but everybody just zoomed on by.
Speaker 4: Now that there's something above your head, for some reason,
Speaker 4: people are slowing down again.
Speaker 1: I'll go back to what we said in a previous
Speaker 1: episode of the podcast. Do they realize, like the animal
Speaker 1: rights activists, I'm all for supporting animals, but did they

Speaker 4: Dodger promos on TV and it's.
Speaker 1: Bob Doyers Dodger babool. When I first started at Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, there was a guy that was working there
Speaker 1: who did movie trailers, and that back in I don't
Speaker 1: think it's like this anymore. Back in the day, if
Speaker 1: you voiced movie trailers, that's all you did.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you worked.
Speaker 1: For like half an hour day to save your voice.
Speaker 1: They drove you around in limousines and the guy was
Speaker 1: giving me the whole rap about like that was the
Speaker 1: if you were a voiceover guy, that was the git
Speaker 1: you wanted to make.
Speaker 4: And in my mid twenties, I did one movie voiceover
Speaker 4: and they gave me a fifteen hundred dollars check. I
Speaker 4: thought I hit the lotto. That's great. I never did
Speaker 4: another one.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Kevin was a chevi lived career.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was yeah, yeah, like me doing a
Speaker 1: Dodger talk Kevin in Kansas, right, sid he says, Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: Ben one night this past week, you said shoulder surgery.
Speaker 1: You said it was with such ease. But every time
Speaker 1: I say it, it comes out soldier surgery unless I
Speaker 1: back off the speaking speed a lot with talking as
Speaker 1: your profession. Is there any phrase that makes you put
Speaker 1: on the brakes just so you say it correctly? Yeah,
Speaker 1: free throws. I usually screwed out of Joe's.
Speaker 4: How about this one? What's oll restbrook? Uh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that's a tough one. I've had nights, Kevin.
Speaker 1: You've probably heard this where I mispronounced the word milk
Speaker 1: one night.
Speaker 4: What do you mean one night? You do that every
Speaker 4: time you say that one?
Speaker 1: Nah, that's not so, that's it. You're embellishing every once
Speaker 1: in a while. As you know, Kevin, a fellow wordsman.
Speaker 1: When you use words a lot, occasionally, sometimes things kind
Speaker 1: of slip past the goaltender that shouldn't slip past the goaltender,
Speaker 1: and it keeps us human. Though to error is very
Speaker 1: important part of life, Danny, You make mistake, So what
Speaker 1: about you?
Speaker 4: Danny?
Speaker 1: Andy phrases that don't come out of the mouth the
Speaker 1: right way.
Speaker 4: You know, there's a word I said two different times,
Speaker 4: two different weeks on CNR, and it didn't come out
Speaker 4: the right way. I'll have to remember the word.
Speaker 1: Well, Danny, as you know, to error is human.
Speaker 4: Yeah, true. But you know what, when you stammer and
Speaker 4: stutter on national radio, you do think about it, Like, God,
Speaker 4: I sounded like such an idiot. An idiot when it happens,
Speaker 4: it sticks in your craw for a little while.
Speaker 1: Well, that's one of the reasons I don't like to
Speaker 1: go back and listen to the show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like misspeaking. We all do that, pausing or stuttering
Speaker 4: on a word a little bit. That's okay, But when
Speaker 4: you sound like you have a you know, a stuttering problem,
Speaker 4: it's it's embarrassing.
Speaker 1: Unless you're stuttering John on the nineteen nineties Howard Stern Show,
Speaker 1: then it's okay. But outside of.
Speaker 4: That, Yeah, what a great job he had, by the way,
Speaker 4: Yeah that was that was solid.
Speaker 1: And then he had a falling out. I think he
Speaker 1: still does a podcast, But well, he did get a
Speaker 1: great job leaving the Stern Show. He was the voice
Speaker 1: of the Tonight Show remember Jay Leno hired him to
Speaker 1: be the voice guy for the freaking Tonight Show back
Speaker 1: when people actually watched the Tonight Show.
Speaker 4: I just thought of the word amicable. Amicable. I said
Speaker 4: it fast and amicable.
Speaker 1: There are nights I've done monologues about a player that
Speaker 1: I don't really pronounce their name quite and what properly
Speaker 1: and what I'll end up doing, and we've all done
Speaker 1: this now. We didn't have this option when I got
Speaker 1: into radio. You go on YouTube and you keep watching
Speaker 1: to hear the person's name over and over so you
Speaker 1: can learn by listening to it, you know, and it's
Speaker 1: like you feel like such an idiot. You're like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, this is so bad. Like I did a
Speaker 1: monologue about it the Cubs Japanese pitcher they just added
Speaker 1: this year, and I didn't really pronounce the name right,
Speaker 1: and I kept watching. I was watching a clip of
Speaker 1: him pitching on YouTube over and over again to try
Speaker 1: to get it, and I had it in my head
Speaker 1: and then I had a brain fart in the middle
Speaker 1: of the monologue and I was like, oh, it's so.
Speaker 4: Bad, yeah, or or like it's hard to not say
Speaker 4: Yamamoto without saying it, like with an Asian accent on
Speaker 4: the air. I caught myself. I was like Yamamoto.
Speaker 1: Racist ol from the app store rights, he says, gentlemen,
Speaker 1: where is all the Rby's hate rooted? He says, it's
Speaker 1: a fast food connoisseur. There are truly these are truly
Speaker 1: trying times, and all steps necessary must be taken in
Speaker 1: order to eat out on rare and appropriate occasions. So
Speaker 1: I have downloaded downloaded an app in order to get
Speaker 1: a freebie once in a while. Is it really the
Speaker 1: end of the world. I was forced by Danny G
Speaker 1: to do some market research and came on to the
Speaker 1: conclusion that Arby's can only be consumed by the common
Speaker 1: man if you are willing to go off the deal menu,
Speaker 1: which is extremely limited to three items. Secondly, my local
Speaker 1: establishment has happy hours and gives out paper coupons, which
Speaker 1: are sometimes very good, he says. Also, don't sleep on
Speaker 1: the Arby's chicken sandwich. It is sold a solid sandwich,
Speaker 1: says alf and he sent a bunch of screenshots of coupons.
Speaker 4: He can't be the real alf. I feel like this
Speaker 4: is a plant by the mafia. What a job running alf?
Speaker 1: Impost?
Speaker 4: Right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, if I respect a man. You're much like myself.
Speaker 1: I think we're actually a lot alike. You listen to
Speaker 1: the show a lot, you kind of know what I'm like.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you're following many of my my Michigas things
Speaker 1: that I do.
Speaker 4: So yeah, if man of the people who sits up
Speaker 4: in skyboxes at sporting events.
Speaker 1: Not anymore, and that's I so Tani came to town.
Speaker 1: Those days are over. Man, I am really the man
Speaker 1: of the people. I'm watching on TV, Tommy, That's what
Speaker 1: I'm That's what I'm doing. I saw that Wendy. Speaking
Speaker 1: of do we mention this? I don't even mentioned this
Speaker 1: in Footy Fight. Maybe last week we did. Wendy's. They're
Speaker 1: offering free fries to customers every Friday for the remainder
Speaker 1: of the year, so if there's a deal.
Speaker 4: Their fries stink.
Speaker 1: Now, are they bad?
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're not bad, but they're just not awesome in
Speaker 4: the way they used to be. Serve them mostly cold. Yeah,
Speaker 4: they used to be good back in the nineties.
Speaker 1: Well, nothing is truly ever free, so they are charging.
Speaker 1: There's a little stipulation here. They said you have to
Speaker 1: make a purchase on the in app to receive the order,
Speaker 1: So any size. I love when they do the any
Speaker 1: size fries. Who's ordering the small fries? Right? It's like
Speaker 1: what McDonald's had any drink for a dollar? Well, who's
Speaker 1: ordering the.
Speaker 4: Small It's like when the Dodgers too get a certain
Speaker 4: amount of strikeouts in a game, then you can get
Speaker 4: a free burger the next day at a Jack in
Speaker 4: the box, But you have to purchase a large drink
Speaker 4: to get the free burger. You know how much of
Speaker 4: large drink is? It's a rip?
Speaker 1: Well, that's true, blind Jake writes in he says, the
Speaker 1: wife and I will be visiting the north Woods middle
Speaker 1: of July. We are currently looking at stopping at the
Speaker 1: part the packing district and spending time in Huntington Beach.
Speaker 1: Which places should we make sure to visit?
Speaker 4: Is that by the Lax parking lot you visited?
Speaker 1: He blew me off at a hotel near Lax. He says,
Speaker 1: which places should we avoid? Also any places my guide
Speaker 1: dog would love to visit? Well, Jake, if you call
Speaker 1: the show a few times, I don't think I can
Speaker 1: let anyone in anymore unless they call the show. Because
Speaker 1: Coop got freaked out because we had some people in
Speaker 1: that didn't call the show and he got all all freaky.
Speaker 1: But yeah, what to do in the OC? I do
Speaker 1: like the Packing District that's actually an Anaheim, Danny, the Yeah,
Speaker 1: they have this place. My favorite poutine place is in
Speaker 1: the Packing District. It's called the Croft. I highly recommend
Speaker 1: if you're in the poutine best, I say best, better
Speaker 1: than all the other poutine I've had outside of Wisconsin
Speaker 1: is the Croft. I love that they have the fried
Speaker 1: chicken poutine, which is really really good. You know downtown
Speaker 1: Disney you probably know about that. There's a place in
Speaker 1: Irvine called the Spectrum, which I know you've been to, Danny.
Speaker 1: I've been there. It's big. It's a shopping center. It's
Speaker 1: like the Disneyland of shopping centers. Have a ferris wheel,
Speaker 1: they have Merry go Round. It's pretty crazy.
Speaker 4: Yeah. And then drive south. Go to San Clemente if
Speaker 4: you want like a beautiful little beach town.
Speaker 1: Yeah, go to Mission San Juan Capistrano if you want
Speaker 1: to take the wife there and your dog and all that.
Speaker 4: Take your girl to get some wine into Mechula.
Speaker 1: I like the Newport Peninsula, which is beautiful Newport Beach,
Speaker 1: you know, old, old Town Orange is a nice place
Speaker 1: to walk around. There's some old shops.
Speaker 4: And yeah, what nuts. Get some Mexican food in old
Speaker 4: town San Diego.
Speaker 1: Or if you you want to be adventurous, go to
Speaker 1: Santa Ana.
Speaker 4: But do it during the day.
Speaker 1: Don't go at night. I'd go during the day, and
Speaker 1: you know you have your dog.
Speaker 4: True story. My wife and I were in Santa Anna.
Speaker 4: We had to go into the walmart there to get
Speaker 4: some diapers for baby CoA. Had no choice, it was
Speaker 4: an emergency. There was a homeless guy sitting on a
Speaker 4: big wheel smoking a cigar with all his belongings around.
Speaker 4: Is a big wheel man, a real big wheel outside
Speaker 4: the front of the walmart.
Speaker 1: Welcome to California. You'll get a kick out of this.
Speaker 1: This week, we had a guy call in from Maine
Speaker 1: who had been in jail for five years, and I
Speaker 1: was like, what are you in jail for? And he
Speaker 1: didn't really want to say, and then he said something like,
Speaker 1: well it was like kind of theft.
Speaker 4: Still.
Speaker 1: You know what My advice to him was, Danny, I
Speaker 1: told him, I said, move to California. We don't we
Speaker 1: don't arrest criminals for for theft. In California. You can
Speaker 1: steal whatever you want. They don't care. They'll let you
Speaker 1: right back out to steal some more stuff. And he's like, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: in Maine they put you in jail.
Speaker 4: The frown on it.
Speaker 1: They don't they don't like it.
Speaker 4: There.
Speaker 1: Uh, let's see, Reggie from the basis, what if you
Speaker 1: could teleport guys but you would arrive naked, would you
Speaker 1: do it? Uh? No?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean where am I teleporting to? If
Speaker 4: it was somewhere tropical, you're still naked, Okay, I'd be warm.
Speaker 4: On the other side, you're gonna put it.
Speaker 1: You put it like something covering up your twigging barrier.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh Steve Wright's hands, Jill, you get more rotation with
Speaker 1: two hands. Ben, I heard you complaining about the carpeting
Speaker 1: being cleaned the other night. Was it really that bad?
Speaker 4: I saw this email, I didn't I didn't get.
Speaker 1: The I didn't get the I didn't get the email,
Speaker 1: so I didn't know about it.
Speaker 4: The email was the evening of the carpet cleaning, and
Speaker 4: it started out sorry for the late notice.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I have a as I think Eddie called
Speaker 1: me the sensitive sniffer. My nose is pretty sensitive to
Speaker 1: certain smells. And I did not realize they were cleaning
Speaker 1: the carpet. I didn't see the email. I don't check
Speaker 1: the company email. So I got there. I get there
Speaker 1: pretty early to get ready for the show. Finish up,
Speaker 1: getting ready for the show, I should.
Speaker 4: Say, And you didn't get your spring bonus.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, So my nose starts kind of running a
Speaker 1: little bit, right, starts running a little bit, and and
Speaker 1: I see some weird people in the building that I
Speaker 1: didn't really recognize, and then I noticed they had the
Speaker 1: bigam carpet zamboni, and then I saw there's a sign
Speaker 1: there and.
Speaker 4: All that, and.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it really didn't mess with my sinuses. But here's
Speaker 1: the funny thing. So they said they were going to
Speaker 1: be cleaning the carpets from ten o'clock at night till
Speaker 1: six in the morning. That's what That's how I interpreted.
Speaker 1: Those guys were out of the building within an hour.
Speaker 1: They had done the whole building, but they did not
Speaker 1: do the studio because they wanted to come in there
Speaker 1: while I was on the air, and I was like, no,
Speaker 1: we can't have that because it was going to mess up.
Speaker 1: We would have heard the sound on the air.
Speaker 4: Did you ask if you could ride the carpet Samboni.
Speaker 4: That would have been fun.
Speaker 1: I would have waved it everyone like I was on
Speaker 1: the ice at the King's game.
Speaker 4: I would have waived it everybody.
Speaker 1: Last one on the mailbag, Barry rites in from South Carolina.
Speaker 1: He says, but in Nashville this week, Yo, yo, Ma, Benny,
Speaker 1: did you just ban Justin and Cincinnati from all the
Speaker 1: game shows or is this a self imposed game show
Speaker 1: ban from Justin? First of all, Barry, we have not
Speaker 1: banned Justin from Cincinnati from the game shows. Justin I
Speaker 1: heard Justin at one point was the most epic game
Speaker 1: show contestant on the show. He then got passed. He
Speaker 1: was poll axed by our friend from Brooklyn, Uncle Moe.
Speaker 1: And Justin has just not called as often for the
Speaker 1: game shows. We haven't banned him. I guess he wants
Speaker 1: other people to play the game shows. But we put
Speaker 1: him on every once in a while. But yeah, he
Speaker 1: used to call for every game show. He was like
Speaker 1: game show King of Whares, But not anymore. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll get out on that, Danny. I will be back

Speaker 1: under the cover of the stars and cover of the darkness.

Speaker 4: Danny out Monday afternoon? Back on with Covino and Rich
Speaker 4: two to four pm on the West side. That's five

Speaker 4: need to borrow five dollars for gas to get to
Speaker 4: Sherman Oaks because my checking account was emptied this past
Speaker 4: weekend at Disneyland.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I recommend just hitch hiking. That's all you need
