Speaker 1: Kubbooms.
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.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere.
Speaker 3: The Fifth Hour with Me, Big Ben and Danny g
Speaker 3: a Happy Friday. Two years we slide on in to
Speaker 3: the last weekend here in the month of June. It's
Speaker 3: the twenty eighth day of the month. A bunch of
Speaker 3: random holidays, as always on every one of these days.
Speaker 3: But we're hanging out with you all weekend, no days off,
Speaker 3: no days off.
Speaker 1: You hear me on the Overnight.
Speaker 3: Show, the Original Recipe Pot cast Sunday through Thursday or
Speaker 3: Monday through Friday, depending on how.
Speaker 1: You look at it.
Speaker 3: But we're there every night, and Danny's on with Covino
Speaker 3: and Rich during the week and we form Voltron on
Speaker 3: the weekends here for the Fifth Hour podcast, and we're
Speaker 3: celebrating national to peak Tapioca Day to Peka the National
Speaker 3: Tapioca Day today. So I've never had anything other than
Speaker 3: tapioca pudding. What else do you eat with tapioca in it?
Speaker 3: Is there any other food related thing that tapioca is.
Speaker 4: Part of, not that I'm aware of.
Speaker 3: I've only known the pudding. I don't know anything else.
Speaker 3: I'm sure there's got to be something else. According to
Speaker 3: one story, I got a story in front of here,
Speaker 3: it says the boba, they used tapioca in boba.
Speaker 1: You a big boba guy, never had it?
Speaker 3: You've never had it? Where I live, kind of close
Speaker 3: to where I live, there's a boba. There's a couple
Speaker 3: of boba places, and there's always a line outside the
Speaker 3: boba places.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've seen all the different mob pop boba shops
Speaker 4: open up over the years, but it never looked good
Speaker 4: to me. That just the texture of it. It looks
Speaker 4: like a I don't know, like a fish egg.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know it does, but it I guess it
Speaker 3: depends where you're from or your background, because I never
Speaker 3: had I even know what boba was until a couple
Speaker 3: of years ago.
Speaker 1: But the tapioca, now, tapioca pudding not bad.
Speaker 4: That's a good pudding that's in the top five.
Speaker 2: You killed it.
Speaker 1: Do you have a big board of pudding?
Speaker 4: Well, it's a list. I don't. I don't think we
Speaker 4: can do list.
Speaker 3: I don't do a list. I do not believe in list.
Speaker 3: But I like a big board. I'm cool with a
Speaker 3: big board.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: If you want to do that, that's we can certainly
Speaker 3: do that. It's a National Logistics Day today.
Speaker 4: Oh, backup on the pudding for a second though.
Speaker 1: Let's go back to tapioca pudding.
Speaker 4: Not tapioca pudding, but how about banana pudding with vanilla
Speaker 4: wafers around the outside of the bowl. My grandmother used
Speaker 4: to do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, that's the only time I would eat vanilla
Speaker 3: wafers was with like banana pudding.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a solid, a solid.
Speaker 4: Thing that's like old people food.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I bet it wasn't. At first it was like
Speaker 3: young people food and then became at some point it
Speaker 3: became old people food. As far as like the logistics,
Speaker 3: it's National Logistics Day and I was sold. The key
Speaker 3: to Amazon was the logistics. They they bought early on
Speaker 3: Amazon swallowed up. I forget the name of the company,
Speaker 3: but there was a company that had a logistical map
Speaker 3: they had of the United States. I remember reading about
Speaker 3: this years ago, and that was the thing that helped
Speaker 3: Amazon leapfrog into the zeitgeist of society, because it's all
Speaker 3: about the logistics. They they had to figure out how
Speaker 3: to get people's crap to them the same day or
Speaker 3: the next day, and that's what separated them from everyone else.
Speaker 3: And so it's it's not something you think about, and
Speaker 3: it's really not that exciting to talk about on a podcast,
Speaker 3: but it is National Logistics Day, so I wanted to
Speaker 3: throw that out.
Speaker 4: Did that involve them finding warehouses close enough to all
Speaker 4: the regions that they were serving?
Speaker 3: Well, it was and I remember vaguely reading the story,
Speaker 3: but they bought a company that already had a footprint
Speaker 3: on how to deliver stuff but wasn't that successful, okay,
Speaker 3: and they just kind of piggybacked off what they had
Speaker 3: already done. It's kind of like in food you see
Speaker 3: clusters of restaurants. There's a there's something in business where
Speaker 3: if you just follow, like McDonald's is very good at
Speaker 3: finding locations. They do the they do the market research, right,
Speaker 3: they figure out, you know, there's this number of houses,
Speaker 3: is this number of people that are living in a
Speaker 3: central area.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they even know how many of us are overweight.
Speaker 3: Well, everyone's overweight, but they're like they figure out, like like, okay,
Speaker 3: so this is how many people are going to eat
Speaker 3: out on average per week based on then you know
Speaker 3: the analytics, and so they put their restaurants there, and
Speaker 3: then other restaurants will copy them.
Speaker 1: So I love Raising Canes, ras Canes.
Speaker 3: I've been to Raising Canes in like four different states,
Speaker 3: and everywhere I go where there's a Raisin Canes, almost
Speaker 3: always it's right across the street or down the block
Speaker 3: from Chick fil A. Yeah, because they're piggybacking on Chick
Speaker 3: fil A, which is brilliant because you're guaranteed one day
Speaker 3: a week somebody's gonna go out for Chick fil A
Speaker 3: and they ain't gonna be open on Sunday. But Raising
Speaker 3: Canes is open. So those people that don't forget, they
Speaker 3: don't realize, they forget that that Chick fil A is
Speaker 3: not open on Sunday. They go out for Chick fil A,
Speaker 3: They're like, I want chicken, and then they end up
Speaker 3: going to Canes and maybe they like that better or
Speaker 3: they're willing to go there.
Speaker 1: And put in their rotation.
Speaker 4: It's not trigonometry.
Speaker 3: The logistics very exciting. So on this podcast we've got
Speaker 3: are those funeral potatoes kryptonite the phrase of the week,
Speaker 3: and if we have time, we'll get to some food
Speaker 3: fun but we'll begin with this. This past weekend, I
Speaker 3: set a new personal record and this will be someday
Speaker 3: in the trivial pursuit game that we have about the show.
Speaker 3: You can put this on a card and the p
Speaker 3: ones will get this right. Last weekend a record setter
Speaker 3: for farewells. It started out early on a fridayday morning.
Speaker 3: Let's go back in the hot tub time machine. I
Speaker 3: was invited. I don't know if that's the right word.
Speaker 3: My presence was requested. A friend of my wife's mother
Speaker 3: had died. She passed away and she was laid to
Speaker 3: rest last Friday. So I got up early and we
Speaker 3: I put on my church clothes because this was at
Speaker 3: a church, not my temple clothes, my church clothes. So
Speaker 3: I made the long haul to the tabernacle with the
Speaker 3: wife and it was a massive wedding. This person very
Speaker 3: loved this woman. She was big in the church and
Speaker 3: people helped a lot of families out and so it
Speaker 3: was a I didn't really know her. I had met
Speaker 3: her a couple times, I didn't really know her, but
Speaker 3: we were there. And I've been to a lot of
Speaker 3: funerals over the years. I'm not bragging about that. Just
Speaker 3: a lot of people I have been close to or
Speaker 3: loosely related to, have died.
Speaker 1: That's what happened.
Speaker 3: So this one though, Top five spread, Top five funerals spread.
Speaker 3: It was catered. They had barbecue on one side. They
Speaker 3: had Kirkland brand pizza on the other. They had a
Speaker 3: dessert table. It's like a high end wedding. They had desserts, cookies,
Speaker 3: strawberry cake because the woman who had passed away, she
Speaker 3: loved strawberry cake. So they had that and pretty much
Speaker 3: all their favorite foods, which I thought was really cool.
Speaker 3: You know, not that you want to plan your own funeral,
Speaker 3: but that's kind of cool, right, You have your foods
Speaker 3: that you liked in your life and you can share
Speaker 3: that with other people and all that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you'd have chicken fingers and ranch.
Speaker 3: I'd have raising canes, chicken fingers, no rain inch. That's
Speaker 3: a lie. But I've been, as you know, Danny, a
Speaker 3: prolific freeloader, not as much anymore since COVID, I pretty
Speaker 3: much stopped going regularly to games because I just didn't
Speaker 3: want to deal with the bullshit. But over the years,
Speaker 3: I spent most of my adult life up until a
Speaker 3: few years ago freeloading at sporting events. And I gotta
Speaker 3: tell you, this was as good as any freeloading event
Speaker 3: I had been. Not as good as the Stanley Cup
Speaker 3: Final when the Kings were in it a couple times.
Speaker 3: That was the greatest spread that you can possibly have.
Speaker 3: But were there, and as a good mitzvah of the day,
Speaker 3: are those funeral potatoes?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: But I did put on my Benny the Baker cap
Speaker 3: as I am Benny Crocker, and I made chocolate chip
Speaker 3: walnut cookies because the friend of my wife likes chocolate
Speaker 3: chip walnut cookies. So I said, okay, So no, no
Speaker 3: funeral potatoes were harmed. But the word on the street,
Speaker 3: I was right happy about this. It made my head swell,
Speaker 3: was that the people and I was only at the
Speaker 3: spread for a little bit at the post game for
Speaker 3: the funeral, but the cookies were a hit and that
Speaker 3: made me happy. That made me feel pretty good, like
Speaker 3: that people love them. But I gotta say this one.
Speaker 3: It's always odd when you go to a funeral, like
Speaker 3: who's there, what they're wearing, the whole thing, and.
Speaker 1: Not that I go to these things the people watch.
Speaker 3: But I did love this one because the woman that
Speaker 3: had passed away the mother of my wife's friend. She
Speaker 3: had grown up in East LA back in the day, right,
Speaker 3: So she went to Hamilton High School, and she was
Speaker 3: from LA and it was kind of a rougher part
Speaker 3: of town back in the day, and so some of
Speaker 3: the people that she knew from her from her younger
Speaker 3: days were there and I wanted to take a picture,
Speaker 3: but it would have been inappropriate, Danny, so just take
Speaker 3: my word for this. I didn't take any photos, but
Speaker 3: I still in my head in that cartoon bubble had
Speaker 3: the image of these guys. Let me try to describe
Speaker 3: them to you, because I thought this was just wonderful.
Speaker 3: You had these guys who clearly were gangsters back in
Speaker 3: the day, right, They were keeping it real in their twenties,
Speaker 3: you know, teenagers. So there's they're now older gentlemen. They're
Speaker 3: in their sixties now, right, So they're old kind of
Speaker 3: gangster guys. They're now in their sixties and they were
Speaker 3: dressed like they were back in East LA. Maybe they
Speaker 3: still live there, I don't know. So they're wearing the
Speaker 3: outfit and they're driving around mobility scooters wearing those. It
Speaker 3: was just I mean, it was amazing, Danny. I God
Speaker 3: love them. I mean it was so great that they're
Speaker 3: dressed like they were back, you know, back in their
Speaker 3: homeboy days. And uh, and they're driving around a billion scooters.
Speaker 3: I thought it was just it was just amazing.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, they're getting older, their bodies are falling apart,
Speaker 3: but you know, they're still keeping it real. They're still
Speaker 3: keeping it real, Danny. And that's kind of important, right,
Speaker 3: you know, Yeah, to keep it really, gotta keep to
Speaker 3: your roots. And it was just amazing.
Speaker 4: It's paradise, It's gangster's retirement.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be a great movie, Danny?
Speaker 3: You should write that, Like, you know, all those remember
Speaker 3: those old guy bank robber movies. They wanted to make
Speaker 3: shod pigeons out of them.
Speaker 1: How about like the old gangster movies.
Speaker 3: Were these guys driving around they're complaining about the Early
Speaker 3: Birds special or whatever they're they're grumbling about what's of
Speaker 3: course they don't really make any movies anymore that are
Speaker 3: new in Hollywood, but that would be that would be
Speaker 3: a pretty funny movie. I would pay money to see
Speaker 3: that movie. I'd have to have popcorn, but but it
Speaker 3: was pretty good. So following the funeral, more on my
Speaker 3: record setting weekend. Following the service, Uh, got back. I
Speaker 3: wasn't there long for the postgames. Probably should have stayed longer.
Speaker 3: Didn't do that, got some food, got back in the
Speaker 3: mallomobile with my wife and my sister in law, and
Speaker 3: we headed as close as we could get to the
Speaker 3: surface of the sun. And literally, by the way, I'm
Speaker 3: not making this up, we decided to spend the weekend
Speaker 3: in the hottest spot we could get to within reasonable
Speaker 3: driving distance, Palm Desert slash Palm Springs.
Speaker 1: And that's where we landed. The eagle had landed.
Speaker 3: It was my wife's birthday weekend, part one. And I
Speaker 3: think your wife does the same thing, Danny. Right, It's
Speaker 3: like a birthday month. It's a whole series of events.
Speaker 3: It's a festival, it's like a carnival. Yes, it's my
Speaker 3: birthday month exactly, like well my birthday, I'm like, okay,
Speaker 3: let's get it over with and we'll be on but.
Speaker 4: Like, I want mine to be a birthday hour.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's just do one hour. Maybe I'll have a
Speaker 3: slice of cake and we're good. But it's a carnival
Speaker 3: birthday week, birthday month. So Part one was a friends weekend,
Speaker 3: Friends and family weekend at a resort in Palm Desert
Speaker 3: for the weekend under the sun and in the pool. Now,
Speaker 3: major kudo credit points to the wife. She booked a
Speaker 3: stay at a resort because pretty much every hotel I
Speaker 3: feel like in Palm Springs is a resort. But she
Speaker 3: picked this one because she knew what I like and
Speaker 3: I appreciate that. And of course the designated driver. But
Speaker 3: lazy river. The resort had a lazy river. I love
Speaker 3: lazy rivers. My favorite thing in the summer is the
Speaker 3: lazy river. And so I could she knew. I was like, hey, listen,
Speaker 3: I'm lazy. I can go. I can go sit on
Speaker 3: the inner tube, lay on the inner tube and float
Speaker 3: around and cook like I'm in a rotisserie oven, rotating
Speaker 3: around under the sun. And as the nocturnal kernel of
Speaker 3: the overnight sports talk radio WARS, I don't have a
Speaker 3: lot of flaws Row, but one of them My kryptonite,
Speaker 3: if you will, is when I end up during the
Speaker 3: day in the great outdoors in the summer, does not
Speaker 3: go well, does not go Did you see the video
Speaker 3: I think it was from Kuwait this week of the
Speaker 3: traffic cones that melted. It got to one hundred and
Speaker 3: twenty two degrees fahrenheit in I think it's like fifth
Speaker 3: over fifty degrees celsius.
Speaker 1: In Kuwait and the traffic cones literally melted.
Speaker 4: That's me. That's me.
Speaker 3: If I'm out in the sun, I'm I'm like a
Speaker 3: vampire around the sun. It doesn't go well. In fact,
Speaker 3: to prove how hot it was, it didn't get to
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty two. But when I pulled up
Speaker 3: to the hotel after the long drive from La La
Speaker 3: Land and from the funeral, got to the hotel Palm Desert,
Speaker 3: dashboard on the malamobile ran one hundred and sixteen oh degrees.
Speaker 3: One hundred and sixteen degrees.
Speaker 1: Might be a little face melting wowsers.
Speaker 3: And as my grandfather would say, not for whims, not
Speaker 3: for whims at all.
Speaker 4: That's the kind of heat where you see mirages down
Speaker 4: the road.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the kind of heat where you question a
Speaker 3: little bit everything. Now it is a dry heat, and
Speaker 3: I will before our friends listening in the south below
Speaker 3: the Mason Dixon line and those in the Midwest that
Speaker 3: have to deal with the dreaded humidity. I do agree
Speaker 3: with the popular opinion Danny that humidity is worse.
Speaker 1: Than the dry heat. Although when you get to one
Speaker 1: hundred and sixteen.
Speaker 3: It's it's neck and neck. It's it's a horse race
Speaker 3: down the stretch, neck and neck.
Speaker 4: The thing about the dry heat, you feel claustrophobic because
Speaker 4: you get to a point where you can't breathe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a mess.
Speaker 3: And the other the other thing two about the when
Speaker 3: you get to that humidity. A humidity is God's moisturizer.
Speaker 3: So if you like, you know, the moistury, and I
Speaker 3: feel like when I'm in the humidity, it's like I'm
Speaker 3: being in the steam room when I go to the gym,
Speaker 3: and I like going to the steam room and John,
Speaker 3: you know, hanging out.
Speaker 2: Yah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's what I mean. I think at least
Speaker 4: I can breathe a little bit in the humid idiot
Speaker 4: feels gross and sticky, but I can breathe a little better.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a little bit. So that was my my Friday.
Speaker 3: We'll circle back to this coming up a little bit late.
Speaker 3: Maybe we'll talk more about it on tomorrow's podcast.
Speaker 4: That's a professional radio teas.
Speaker 3: This is not radio, it's a podcast. We're much cooler.
Speaker 3: They don't make movies about radio people anymore, Danny. They
Speaker 3: make movies about podcasters. I feel the only reason I
Speaker 3: do this podcast is because people can say, oh, you're
Speaker 3: a podcaster, you're a content creator.
Speaker 1: Way to go.
Speaker 3: Or is your guy Danny your coach and congratulations big
Speaker 3: week for the Lakers. They're not sucking up to Lebron
Speaker 3: at all, drafting his kid and hiring his podcast or
Speaker 3: co host.
Speaker 4: Yeah what is that? It's almost like your Clippers having
Speaker 4: their son and their coach on the same Oh.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I guess we're in the engagement farming industry.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, did it really bother you when he dropped
Speaker 4: a couple of F bombs?
Speaker 3: Here's my issue with JJ Reddick, former Clipper. By the way,
Speaker 3: I hated him with the Clippers. He missed every big shot.
Speaker 3: People talk about Doc Rivers being the reason the Clippers
Speaker 3: didn't win in the Lob City years. I would argue
Speaker 3: JJ Reddick in the fourth quarter of close games, wide
Speaker 3: open three point shots. Clank, get me clank. That's JJ
Speaker 3: Reddick in a big spot, just saying.
Speaker 4: Chris Paul, DeAndre, Jordan, Blake Griffin, they had nothing to
Speaker 4: do with those l's.
Speaker 3: Yeah, here's the issue with JJ Reddick and Danny. Even
Speaker 3: though you're a fan of the Devil's team there, I
Speaker 3: don't think you're someone You're kind of like me in
Speaker 3: this regard. I am predisposed to despising smugness conceited people.
Speaker 3: But the main issue with that, when your smug is
Speaker 3: talking down to people like they're below you, that is
Speaker 3: JJ Reddick. That is the epitome of JJ Reddick. And
Speaker 3: I just find that horrific.
Speaker 4: But I did like when he smacked down the other
Speaker 4: commentators that were on ESPN panels with him. That was
Speaker 4: fun to watch. Now him as the coach acting like that,
Speaker 4: he needs to lighten up.
Speaker 3: I just don't like the guy. I just don't like them.
Speaker 4: See, I would rather have a fun coach like Phil
Speaker 4: Jackson was a serious guy, but he also was what's
Speaker 4: the word jovial when he needed to be.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like Phil, and I was around him, God forbid,
Speaker 3: I was forced to be out there when he was
Speaker 3: coaching the Lakers and Kobe and Shack and that. And
Speaker 3: I love Phil because Phil he would you would ask
Speaker 3: him a question, he would actually like think about the answer,
Speaker 3: like he didn't just give you a boilerplate stock answer.
Speaker 3: He would actually think about what you asked him and
Speaker 3: like it felt legitimate. But you know, JJ Reddick his
Speaker 3: claim to fame and when he was doing engagement farming,
Speaker 3: JJ Reddick was he he spit Loogi's at every old
Speaker 3: school player. Remember the Bob Coozy, the great Bob Coozy,
Speaker 3: old fragile Bob Coosey, barely hanging on. He's like one
Speaker 3: of the last players from the nineteen sixties in that
Speaker 3: era of the NBA. And JJ Riddis said, oh yeah,
Speaker 3: we played plumbers and fireman or whatever it was.
Speaker 4: We'll look at it this way because we are content
Speaker 4: creators and we're farming engagement on this podcast. It's way
Speaker 4: better to have this dude, even if he's kind of
Speaker 4: a douche and he smug in there, then I don't
Speaker 4: know who would have been a boring hire, that dude
Speaker 4: that just got fired from the Pistons. N Y Williams
Speaker 4: Monty Williams exactly. That would have been so boring, boring.
Speaker 4: At least we have JJ Reddick to talk about.
Speaker 3: Now, all right, now, defend Bronnie James. Go ahead, I'll wait.
Speaker 4: No, there is there is no there is no defense.
Speaker 4: I think the best way I saw it, a listener
Speaker 4: tweeted saying that would be like if Ken Griffy Junior
Speaker 4: was added to squad where his dad Senior was on
Speaker 4: the team, but he was batting one twenty five and
Speaker 4: you know, was not a very good play at all.
Speaker 4: Wouldn't even make the double A team. The one thing
Speaker 4: I'll say about Brownie, that's a little bit of an unknown.
Speaker 4: He did almost die on the court. Some people kind
Speaker 4: of forget about that. I don't know if he has
Speaker 4: played at USC would have been any better had he
Speaker 4: played without that health condition. But they're throwing dad a bone, obviously,
Speaker 4: But at least they didn't screw that first pick up
Speaker 4: at seventeen. I like connect a lot. I watched a
Speaker 4: lot of Tennessee games. Why because of my friend JC,
Speaker 4: because of Clay Travis. Usually we get to laugh at Tennessee.
Speaker 4: Tennessee's actually had some good luck lately with baseball. And
Speaker 4: their basketball team wasn't half bad. So I watched a
Speaker 4: handful of Tennessee games, and that kid really stood out
Speaker 4: on the court. Not only is he a great outside shooter,
Speaker 4: he drives the ball to the rack, which I love.
Speaker 3: I don't know about it. I didn't watch him play
Speaker 3: a lot at Tennessee. I'm just the Bronni James thing.
Speaker 3: And then the thing that also annoyed me is, don't
Speaker 3: tell me it's a throwaway pick though fifty five. It's
Speaker 3: usually a G League guy or a guy that doesn't
Speaker 3: even sniff your bench. Okay, But then you have the
Speaker 3: media making excuses for Brownie James, and it's like it's
Speaker 3: just stopped. Okay, he had no business. It's nepotism, call
Speaker 3: it is entitlement. You know. That's that's privilege. People talk
Speaker 3: about privilege a lot today. That's privilege.
Speaker 4: It's in every industry, especially ours.
Speaker 3: But we don't have to like it. Yeah, well that's true.
Speaker 3: I used to my dad, May he rest in peace.
Speaker 3: But I used to rip my dad because he if
Speaker 3: he was a radio like a traditional terrestrial radio guy,
Speaker 3: I would have been doing like morning drive. But my
Speaker 3: dad was a ham radio operator, so I didn't have
Speaker 3: an in you know, I didn't have the nepotism because
Speaker 3: my pops was a Ham radio game.
Speaker 4: It was even Howard Stern's introduction to the business.
Speaker 1: Yeah his dad worked in radio.
Speaker 3: Yeah, his dad.
Speaker 4: Worked in radio. So it happens in every industry. I
Speaker 4: thought Woes said it really good. After Brownie was drafted.
Speaker 4: He's like, I don't want to see suddenly people up
Speaker 4: in arms when nepotism has been a part of their
Speaker 4: business for years. So don't faint and cry foul now,
Speaker 4: It's part of life. It is what it is.
Speaker 3: Well, Woj can kiss my ass because I uh sorry, woje, No,
Speaker 3: I am uh going.
Speaker 4: There's deputism between you two. That's your step brother. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you guys were friends before Woes was Woch.
Speaker 3: That is true, Woj. God forbidding. And we see those
Speaker 3: tapes of me and Woj on a panel together at
Speaker 3: NBC breaking down. But Woj is probably I can't believe
Speaker 3: they've made me do that. And I met I met
Speaker 3: his kid. His kid's probably in college now, but it's
Speaker 3: when I met Woj's kid years ago. He very cute kid,
Speaker 3: loved baseball, didn't even like basketball. He was like more
Speaker 3: of a baseball guy. He loved the Phillies and he
Speaker 3: was a big Phillies fan. I remember that back back
Speaker 3: in the day.
Speaker 1: Anyway, all right, moving.
Speaker 3: On, we have the real sporty talk there. We buried
Speaker 3: it in the middle of though. We buried it in
Speaker 3: the middle of the pot. Anybody on the Clippers is
Speaker 3: half of what Kobe Bryant is.
Speaker 1: We have the phrase of the the phrase of the week.
Speaker 3: A phrase of the week this week, on this Friday
Speaker 3: is gut feeling. Do you ever use that phrase? I
Speaker 3: got a gut feeling on this?
Speaker 4: Oh we've all used that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the feeling. How about butterflies in your stomach when
Speaker 3: you prepare for a big game back when you played sports,
Speaker 3: or maybe you're a presentation, you got a radio show
Speaker 3: to do, you gotta do a monologue.
Speaker 4: Except the Dodgers' front office they don't use that term.
Speaker 4: They say, I have an analytics feeling about this. Let
Speaker 4: me check the numbers.
Speaker 3: They have no guts as we see, Yeah, exactly, And
Speaker 3: don't don't be in the home run derby because God forbid,
Speaker 3: you could get hurt. Anyway, it's a little shot there, oh, Tani.
Speaker 3: So the gut feeling thing, which is the phrase of
Speaker 3: the week here. Believe it or not, it is, it
Speaker 3: is part it's legit, it's not it's let me, let
Speaker 3: me try to describe this. It's it's neuroscience and people
Speaker 3: have studied it here and our stomach and our brain,
Speaker 3: the connect between our stomach and our brain that when
Speaker 3: you have stress and you're concerned about a big game
Speaker 3: or you know, some guys they call it choking or
Speaker 3: whatever or crumbling under the pressure, you actually can get
Speaker 3: stomach ulcers that are induced by stress. People do emotional
Speaker 3: eating and all that, and the science from the neurosciences
Speaker 3: shows that there's the form of a gut feeling. That
Speaker 3: a gut feeling is a chemical signal that your stomach
Speaker 3: creates to warn the brain of danger. Danger danger, danger
Speaker 3: danger danger danger danger. So there is emerging evidence that's
Speaker 3: a weasel term that shows the gut brain axis is
Speaker 3: one of the most powerful relationships in our bodies. But
Speaker 3: it's essentially a chemical sign a warning shot that the
Speaker 3: stomach sends out to the rest of the body saying, hey,
Speaker 3: there's things are not particularly good here. We got a
Speaker 3: few issues. So the phrase gut feeling, the it original.
Speaker 3: It's actually not that old a phrase. It originated sometime
Speaker 3: in the late sixties, early seventies, but the use of
Speaker 3: gut feeling, but it goes back even further than that.
Speaker 3: And the phrase gut feeling derived from other phrases that
Speaker 3: talk about emotions, you know, originating from the stomach called
Speaker 3: the gut, and that goes back to biblical times. But
Speaker 3: the modern term gut feeling came into the lexicon sometime
Speaker 3: in the late sixties, early seventies, so it's been it's
Speaker 3: been over fifty years, and it's obviously used with gut.
Speaker 3: Gut feeling is used with trusting your gut, et cetera,
Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera. So that is the phrase of
Speaker 3: the work, gut feeling.
Speaker 4: Amazing. I learned something every weekend.
Speaker 3: I feel like there was some sark casm in that, Danny,
Speaker 3: I don't know that that was legit, but chemical signal
Speaker 3: from your stomach to your brain, gut feeling. You want
