WEBVTT - The Fifth Hour: Apple Fritters & Cabin Jitters 0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:01.480 Katbooms. 0:00:02.320 --> 0:00:05.400 If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.240 a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants 0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:12.520 of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.520 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:19.480 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow, it's a clearinghouse 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:23.240 of hot takes. Break free for something special. The Fifth 0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:29.360 Hour with Ben Mallard starts right now. 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:35.040 In the air eywhere, and a very good Saturday to you. 0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:40.040 It is the nineteenth day of October, and what was 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:47.000 supposed to be Danny a celebratory situation that has been delayed, 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:48.640 All right, that has been delayed. 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:52.519 Here Ben, I think that it was marching orders from 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:56.160 the Dodgers' front office. They needed to make another billion 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:58.440 dollars from all the fans at the stadium. 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:02.320 Yes, and I think a parking tomorrow at Dodger Stadium 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:04.840 will be seven hundred dollars per car. I think this 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:09.240 basing it up just gouge the fans even more. 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:14.160 One undercook Dodger Dog is thirteen dollars and ninety nine cents. 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:15.640 Yeah. 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:17.600 In fact, I was told I don't know if this 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:20.200 is gonna happen or not. I was told that if 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.759 you just look at a bucket of popcorn, that'll cost 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.640 you five bucks, and if you smell it, that's ten bucks. 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:30.200 So try not to smell or look at any popcorn 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:31.000 at the game tomorrow. 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:35.760 But no, my theory on this is simple. TV for 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:36.199 some reason. 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:37.920 I don't know why you'd want an extra game on Sunday, 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:41.720 because you know, there's this thing called the NFL as 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.120 each their own, so TV wanted an extra game and 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.680 all that, And I'm fine. You know, it's more enjoyable 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:49.680 for the home fans to watch them win the pennant 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:50.520 and go to the. 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:54.120 World Series, so so be it. And but you saw 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:55.920 it for a couple of games in a row. You 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:59.480 saw the sad, depressed Mets fans and the crumpled, broke 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:03.200 Grimace costumes at the end of losses. So they needed 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.560 one smile from Mets fans on TV. 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.520 Now, is there a chance I want to go back 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.520 to the to the game a couple couple of days ago. 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.120 It was game four, I think it was with the 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:18.120 Remember the shot they had on Fox of Grimace with 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:25.000 the Medello. Could we see a partnership between Medello and McDonald's. 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:26.720 We have the Grimace shape. 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:31.280 Could we see like the the Medello Grimace beer or 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:34.480 something like that. I don't know, but the Mexican will lose. 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.440 It's just a matter do they lose tomorrow? Do they 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.320 lose in game seven? I am my level of concern, 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:43.440 the Mallard level of concern, Danny. I know all the storylines, 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:47.840 and I one to ten. I am at a one 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:48.840 and a half. 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:50.600 On the Mallar scale of concern. That's it. 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:52.480 Okay, all right, that makes me feel good. 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.560 Then, all right, but we have other business to get to. 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:57.880 Nineteenth day of October we like to talk about dope holidays. 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:03.840 Is National Fetch Day today eerf earf Yeah, yeah, something 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.079 like that. It's a bridge day, so a big day 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:07.360 for the Cleveland Guardians. 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:09.760 It is a National Bridge Day. 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.480 Wait, is that that old Ladies game bridge? 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:13.079 No? 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:16.040 No, no, this is actual the bridge, like the actual 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.640 day to celebrate the bridge. 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.080 Nice, not the card game. 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:26.240 Yeah, this is I guess this goes back June nineteen 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:26.720 seventy four. 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:28.440 Construction began on the new. 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:32.880 River Gorge Bridge and it was it was ended nineteen 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.520 seventy seven, and so I guess it's really just for 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:43.080 that bridge. The first jump a Buttan Irvin a minor 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:48.600 first first to jump off the bridge a year before 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:50.360 Bridge Day starts. I guess this is a day to 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:55.560 jump off the bridge, but bungee jumping is banned. That's 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:59.440 been banned for years on Bridge Day, so it's kind 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:00.480 an hot holly to me. 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:02.880 What's your favorite bridge of all time? 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.600 Well, I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge and the Golden 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:09.840 Gate Bridge, and I think the Brooklyn Bridge is cooler 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.200 because when you I don't know, if you walk across 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:13.760 the Golden Gate. 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:15.760 When you walk across the Golden Gate. 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:17.400 There's really nothing over there was like a little park, 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.080 and then if you walk back, you're looking at the 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.080 skyline of San Francisco, which is kind of cool. But 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:26.680 when you go to Brooklyn, Brooklyn's pretty big, and you 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:31.080 walk back you see the skyline of Manhattan. 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.839 And yeah, when you drive north of the Golden Gate Bridge, 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:37.320 it's actually a nice area. Brooklyn Bridge, though, was the 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.600 better walk. You're right, I got to walk on the 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:43.320 Brooklyn Bridge years ago. And just the story of that bridge, 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:44.960 if you look up the history of it and how 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.400 it was made in the years and years they toiled 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:52.400 are the people who died and building it. It's an insane. 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.880 Watern Wonders of the World or whatever. 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:56.520 Yeah, it really, it really is. 0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:01.160 And having people sold the Brooklyn bridg before, like con 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:02.240 men have said, hey. 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.440 We're going to sell the Brooklyn Bridge and it's worked out. 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:06.240 We've told that story before. 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.520 On this podcast, you know, in the past and whatnot. 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:14.440 So I wanted to begin today with a complaint. You know, 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.599 this is our Saturday podcast, and I you know, the 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.560 whole situation of the baseball playoffs and all that. Some 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:22.560 cheap I haven't got my paycheck yet. 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.120 Well, this is an odd complaint. 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:29.680 This is one of those little complaints, the little things 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:35.520 in life that annoy you. So the last this goes 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:40.480 back actually a month. We had a conversation on the 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:44.760 Overnight Show and it led me to say, I must 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:50.760 get an apple fritter donut, an old fashioned apple fritter. 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:55.800 That's the donut I want. And I I've been very 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.839 regimented on my diet. As you know, you're not eating 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.120 a lot of sugar. I'm not eating sugar these days either, 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:04.600 not as much as you. But I are actually eat more. 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:05.080 Than you, I guess. 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:07.600 But it's I've cut back a lot. I don't bake 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:11.000 during the football season. I'm just focused on not that 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.640 it helps. I still look terrible on TV, but I 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:18.640 just it's my thing. So I decided, you know, once 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.080 in a while, rare and appropriate. I like to say, 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.640 rare and appropriate, have some fun, live life. You know 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.360 you're gonna check out. You won't be able to do 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.479 any of that, and that's it. It's over lights out. 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.000 So I said, I want an apple fritter. 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:37.200 So the last three weekends and I got stuff going on. 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:41.039 Wife makes plans things like that, and I'm like, I 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:46.279 need that delicious deep fried cover, you know, a little cinnamon, 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:47.640 mostly apple. 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:48.760 I need that. 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:55.080 And I've gone to the donut shop. Now, mind you, 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.920 this is not the same don't shop. About a month 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:01.960 ago I went, we sold our last apple fritter. 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:03.520 We don't have any. 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.719 The following week, I went back to a different donut shop. 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:12.160 I said, hey, I'm here for the apple frinter. The 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:16.040 nice lady she had the white bakery outfit on with 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.080 the hat and all that, and she she looked at 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.760 me and she said, well, unfortunately, you know, we don't 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:21.600 have any right now. 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.440 So that upset. So last weekend. 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:26.520 I was like, all right, so I looked up did 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.240 a little recon opposition research. 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:33.360 So I look up like the top apple fritter place. 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:37.119 In my area, and I'm like, well, this is known 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:41.320 according to like you know, Yelp and these other gayzy 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:42.480 food places. 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:44.600 I was looking at it. I just did a Google search, 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:45.640 and I was like, this is the place. 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.000 I said, Okay, this is gonna be the place, So 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:50.960 go out of my way to go to this place 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.040 to get my apple fritter. 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:55.840 I go in very confident. 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.760 They have a full like the you know, the display case, 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.280 the glass there with all the and man, they look good. 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.679 But I only I gotta be good to my diet. 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:04.679 I want an apple. 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:06.480 Fore Now, if I get the apple fritter, maybe I'll 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:08.960 buy something else.

We don't have it. 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:20.800 It's going to take a while for us to make more. 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.000 This sounds like a conspiracy against you. 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.640 There is a supply chain shortage of the apple fritter 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:31.120 donut in my area, and it bothers me. This is 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:37.800 an iconic piece of human history. The apple fritter goes 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:41.760 back and back and back, the concept of frying the 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:43.760 dough and the fruit and all that stuff. 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.800 It goes back to the Roman culture. 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:50.400 Do you understand, Danny, that this is something that our 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:53.600 brothers and sisters of past generations have eaten. 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:56.079 They say that. 0:08:56.040 --> 0:09:04.079 During the Middle Ages it became the popular donut in Europe. 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.200 In England, medieval England, the apple fritter. 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:11.040 Well before that Bible times, Jesus took one apple fritter 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:13.599 and made one hundred doughnut holes. 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.960 Well, and also how was Jesus able to walk on 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.839 water and turn water to wine because of he had 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:25.560 an apple fritter for breakfast and that crispy exterior, the 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:30.760 soft moist center just a wonderful, wonderful meal. In fact, 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:34.880 many of the Great Bible, the Great Bible mysteries and 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.840 whatnot because of the apple frittle, because. 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:40.120 It wasn't Samson's hair, it was his diet. 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:44.679 Yeah, clearly, one hundred percent. I'm annoyed. 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:48.760 At some point today or tomorrow, I will yet again 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:53.240 travel back to a donut shop and attempt to get 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:56.680 the donut. And I am proud of myself, though, Danny, 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.400 I want you to know, and I certainly want you 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:04.200 listening to them, that the temptation when you go into 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:09.080 a donut shop, the smell, it's like it's like a 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:13.400 religious experience, right, It's like being in a tabernacle, a synagogue, 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:15.600 a church, whatever, you know, house of worship. Right, you're 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:22.000 going there, and there is something about the freshly made 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:25.920 donut that is very tough for the human body to 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:26.440 turn down. 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:29.200 And I two of the three donut shops I went to, 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:30.040 they just made. 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:34.880 Some donuts and I almost got some other donuts, but 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:36.760 I held on. I said, I'm gonna wait for the 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:40.000 apple fritter. And I did not think that it was 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:41.800 going to take a month. And it's going to be 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.280 over a month if I don't find one today. And 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:46.240 I got stuff going on later on tonight, so I 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.240 don't know if I'll be able to have time later today. 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:49.960 I got some stuff I gonna do with the wife. 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.120 So do you. 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:56.160 Understand my frustration, Danny? Do you realize it's a simple 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:56.760 little thing. 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.000 It's this. I don't think I'm asking for much. I'm 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:00.679 willing to pay for it. I'm not sure to steal it. 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:02.200 I just want it. 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.440 I wanted an apple free er donut and I can't 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.680 find a gd Apple free er donut and it really 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:08.200 bothers me. 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:10.000 So I just wanted to point that out. 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:13.400 And I didn't realize that it was this popular that 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:15.800 they only make a certain amount. Like if I was 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.680 a donut shop, I'm saying, if I was in the 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:23.160 donut business, wouldn't you try to consistently have fresh donors? 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.440 Like I used to live in the San Gabriel Valley 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:30.000 in LA there's a famous donut shop, donut Man, and 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.880 donut Man is known for the tigertail donut, which is 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:36.160 a cinnamon cake donut that's wrapped and it's the size 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:36.760 of your forum. 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:37.320 Amazing. 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:41.120 I don't ever recall going in there where they didn't 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.319 have them. They always had them, and that place is 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:47.280 open twenty four hours a day. So I don't understand. 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.280 Is somebody that works in big Donut let me know 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:52.960 what's going on, because I'm not sure what's going You 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.240 fill me in, give me some information. 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:56.920 So I want to complain about that. 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.640 There's a big problem in this country and I don't 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:01.520 care who wins why I kind of do care. But 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:06.240 whether it's Trump or Kamala, I demand whoever becomes president 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.880 make sure the American people, the men, women and children 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:13.160 have access to old fashioned apple fritters. 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:16.000 That's all I ask is that I. 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.600 Will make billions and billions and billions of. 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:24.920 And then congratulations. I will make apple fritters great again. 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:30.320 I will make Did you see I think it's today? 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:31.800 Uh? 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.679 Did I read write that Antonio Brown? This is the 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:38.400 third rail? Oh man, it's the third rail. Did I 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:42.320 read that Antonio Brown is going to be speaking uh 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:44.199 later today in Pennsylvania. 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.400 I saw that too at a Trump rally. 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:48.640 Wow. 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:52.480 There are so many cartoon people that are involved in politics. 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:53.560 It is unreal. 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:57.440 Man, on both sides, but it's just wacky. It is 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:03.760 Antonio Brown. The billboard for CT is gonna be. I 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:07.240 can only imagine. Is he gonna throw the gummy shape 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.319 like penises at the crowd there if he doesn't get applause? 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:15.280 Is that going to happen? I kid, because I care well. 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:19.120 A lot of us we follow Antonio Brown social media 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:22.480 now just to see what he'll say next. And so 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:24.880 if you are one of the ones that follows him 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:28.880 on social media. You know that he's been all about 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.920 Trump because he said Trump, That's when I made a 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:35.280 lot of money, Biden, That's when I went broke. So 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.880 he's been on team Trump online for a while. 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.440 Yeah, well, ab I don't know if that's true, but 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:44.480 I do know that in my life, and I would 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:47.360 say your life as well, Danny, we will not see 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:53.120 an exit from the NFL without the grandiosity, the rasmatazz 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:57.520 of Antonio Brown. When he took off his uniform and 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:01.599 through stuff in the crowd, did jump Jackson the end zone. 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.520 As he exited staita Ave New Jersey. 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.800 That is one of the all time great moments in 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:12.520 recent NFL history and will likely never be duplicated, not 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:13.520 in our watch. 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:15.240 So tremendous. 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.080 And now Antonio Brown, once he's done with that, speaking 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:21.960 as the keynote speaker today at that Trump rally, he 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:25.000 can go cruising through Christmas. I guess right, Danny, he 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.840 could do that. I could be next on his agenda. Yeah, 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.800 with his shirt off and his bird up, you know, 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:34.160 bird up. I don't have to do that potentially here 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:39.240 for this cruise bend because there is no flight involved. 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:41.960 As you know, my better half is a travel agent, 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:45.360 and so she's got this big discount on a cruise 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:46.320 for Christmas. 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:49.520 Now is this on the actual Christmas or around Christmas? 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:54.000 On actual Christmas? And that's kind of the plan because 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.800 if you are a parent, listen up and not to 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:58.880 put you on the spot bend because they said there'd 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.760 be no math in radio. So how many pay periods 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:05.640 do we have left until Christmas? Slash Hanukkah for you? 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.440 Well, that's very depressing, Danny, as you know, and I 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.880 try not to look at that because it kind of 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:13.760 makes me a downer. 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:15.760 But not many? How about that? Not many? 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:19.680 It's like four? Maybe we don't have that many pay 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:24.760 periods left until Christmas. And that's concerning. Like most of 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:27.960 the country, paycheck to paycheck, you have to cut out 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.080 a little bit of money from each check before you 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.560 get to that part of December, so that you have 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:38.520 gifts for the kids, yeah, and your significant other. So 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:42.520 forget the stupid gifts, forget the stocking stuffers and all that. 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:44.880 I'm not going to do any of that. I can 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.600 get us a great deal on this cruise where we 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.320 don't have to fly anywhere. We just drive to Long Beach. 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.520 The cruise leaves out of Long Beach. It's a new ship, 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:57.160 smaller one, but it's like a five night thing. It 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:01.440 stops at Cabo roughly one word week but during the holiday. 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:07.760 Sounds good, right, Sure? Problem what I only have one phobia, 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.520 and I promise you I'm only scared of one thing. 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:12.560 Small spaces. 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:15.560 Oh okay. Have you never been on a cruise? 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:17.960 Never been on a cruise. And one of the reasons 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:20.360 why I don't know if I could do those small 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:21.600 cruise cabins. 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:25.040 How smart. I've never done a cruise either. I've been. 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:28.200 The closest I've been is on the Queen Mary, and 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:31.080 it scared me, just on the Queen Mary. And I 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:33.480 know that's an old ship and it's not used anymore 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:36.880 and all that. And I've heard some of my wife's 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.640 some of the in laws love going on cruises. 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:40.960 They go on cruises all the time. 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.200 But yeah, they're pretty small, right the cab unless you 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:47.200 have to pay, Yeah, you get a real size cabin. 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:51.480 Right, And we could pay extra. I don't. Maybe with 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:55.720 my iHeart bonus, maybe I can get a balcony. 0:16:56.280 --> 0:17:02.600 You might be able to get an extra pillow, possibly pillow. 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:06.320 But then again, we have a one year old who's 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:07.840 going to be in our room with us, so we 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:09.440 probably don't want a balcony. 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.080 Seems like a fair birth thing. 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:15.040 Yeah, I have to take that into consideration. But she 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:19.080 showed me online the size of these rooms and and 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.600 the argument is always, well, you don't spend very much 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:25.880 time in those rooms. You're walking through the ship. They 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:28.920 have all this entertainment lined up for you non stop. 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:34.119 There's buffet after buffet. The positive is all the food 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:36.359 is taken care of. You know. The only thing you 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:39.320 have to pay extra for is any alcohol you might consume. 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.679 That'd be great. Bring the kids aboard, the food's taken 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:47.159 care of, Let them go on their merry way to 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:50.040 have fun with whatever entertainment is on board for them. 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:52.960 The adults can go do their thing, and then you 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:57.840 all reunite for a nice dinner together. So it sounds good. 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:00.439 I just don't know if I can do that tiny 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:03.800 room at night. It's the size of your kitchen. Now 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:07.400 you live in the Malor mansion, so yeah, the yeah, 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:11.360 your kitchen, your kitchen would be one of the deluxe 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:12.359 rooms on the ship. 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:14.480 Gotcha, I got you, all right. 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:17.919 So a couple questions first, of all, is this already 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:20.199 paid for? Did the wife already get this? Or is 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:24.080 this still in negotiation. It's still in the negotiation period, 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:25.240 all right. 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:28.680 And which way, it sounds like you're leaning to not do. 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:31.600 It, you know, the old saying happy wife, pissed off 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:33.720 husband pretty much. 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.200 The other thing is, I know you're on a very 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:41.439 strict diet. And my position, unpopular position, is there is 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:43.520 no reason to go on a cruise ship unless you're 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:46.280 just gonna let let yourself go and go in goblin 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:49.600 mode for a week and just enjoy the hell out 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:53.800 of everything on that boat and eat massive quantities of 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:58.120 pancakes and whatever the hell else they have on there. Otherwise, 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:00.919 to me, and it's just me, I would be like, 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:03.679 why would you do that? Because that's the whole point. 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:07.600 You're in the middle of the damn ocean. All there 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:09.400 is to do. I mean, you swim a little bit 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:11.879 on the pools or whatever, but you go eat and 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:13.080 you see some shows or whatever. 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:14.480 You eat, you eat. 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:16.440 You eat, you eat, you eat, you eat, you. 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:20.000 Eat, and by the time the boat comes back, it's 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:23.240 like a catial auction. When everyone's walking off the boat, 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:25.720 right the boat weighs a lot more and the whole thing. 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:29.520 So are you planning on if you do this pausing 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:31.840 your diet for a week and then resuming it when 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:32.360 you get back. 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:35.760 You basically just said fat asses go on cruises. 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:39.560 I'm saying the the whole point of it would be too, 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:43.000 because that's where you get your money bag. It's it's yeah, 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:45.959 the food's all. It's all inclusive, right as I understand it. 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:49.239 Everything's except out sure, yeah, the food's all covered in 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:53.760 your price to get on the ship. It's a great point. 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:56.000 You do have to loosen your belt or not wear 0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:58.920 one for an entire week, and then when you get back. 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:01.000 What you do is bring the eye heartmomu is what 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:01.520 you should bring. 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:07.080 This would be a great time to test out ozempic 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:12.600 maybe uh no back yeah yeah yeah yeah. Not during it, 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:14.879 I think you'd be puking overboard the whole time, but 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:16.320 maybe right after the cruise. 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:18.600 What you should do, Danny, is pretend you're a butterball 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:21.000 turkey and Thanksgivings coming up, and you know you got 0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:23.359 to fatten up those butterball turkeys before Thanksgiving. 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:25.720 Me, well, you know you brought up turkey. That's a 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:29.359 great point I think in general, we all overeat around 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:32.639 that time of the year. Anyways, this might actually be 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:33.880 a good week for that. 0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:37.560 All right, I want my chicken. Yeah, I know, I 0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:39.359
