Speaker 1: Cutbooms.
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 Maller starts right.
Speaker 1: Now in the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me,
Speaker 1: Big Ben and back from a weekend away vacation Danny
Speaker 1: G Radio in the audio Dojo as the weekend has begun.
Speaker 1: Here a spin off of the Overnight Show, only available
Speaker 1: right here in the podcast format. We thank you for downloading,
Speaker 1: supporting listening. No matter what happens on this podcast a
Speaker 1: wild weekend, It was like mister Toad's wild ride last
Speaker 1: weekend on this podcast while you were away, Danny G.
Speaker 1: As we slide into this twenty sixth day of July,
Speaker 1: Happy Friday.
Speaker 3: Happy Friday to you, and you know it is the
Speaker 3: start of the Olympics today. No, no, you want to
Speaker 3: talk Olympics for three straight days.
Speaker 1: Well, it's funny you bring that up, because I do
Speaker 1: have something that I would like to get to about
Speaker 1: the Olympics. I do have something about the Olympics. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I do. Yeah, I'm part of the Olympics. I bet
Speaker 1: you didn't know that. You had no idea.
Speaker 3: Are they doing speed walking? Because I've seen you do
Speaker 3: that around the studios. I try to dodge the homeless people.
Speaker 3: So that's what I go as fast as I can
Speaker 3: around the hole. But I will point out later on
Speaker 3: how I relate to the Olympics and how I'm a
Speaker 3: big part of the Olympics, and I could point out
Speaker 3: to you, right, I'll get this later, but I'm arguably
Speaker 3: the most important part of the Olympics, and I'll explain why.
Speaker 3: So we'll try to celebrate what is it National Aunt
Speaker 3: and Uncle Day?
Speaker 1: No, Arkansas, another one of those made up holistic therapy
Speaker 1: day to day. Okay, is that you a holistic therapy guy?
Speaker 3: No, But I love how the ads for like a
Speaker 3: vape pen say for your aroma therapy.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. It's a National Bagel Fest
Speaker 1: day to day. I always smoke my aroma therapy. Yeah, bagels, bagel.
Speaker 1: It's bagel Fest Day, not bagel Day. It's bagel Fest Day,
Speaker 1: which is different than Bagel Day. It sounds like it
Speaker 1: would be the same thing because it's about bagels, but
Speaker 1: it's bagel Fest Day, which is not National Bagel Day.
Speaker 1: Nothing better than a fresh donut or bagel for that matter.
Speaker 1: I don't know anyway. All Right, so on this podcast,
Speaker 1: I don't know what we're gonna get you. I don't
Speaker 1: know what I have time for. But I've got the
Speaker 1: Netflix star the Illuminati, George jetson uh and also we'll
Speaker 1: have the of the Week as well as some foodie funds,
Speaker 1: so we'll see what we actually get to all that.
Speaker 1: Probably not, but we'll try. So we begin here roughly
Speaker 1: a week ago, around the time you went on vacation, Danny,
Speaker 1: I started getting these very odd messages. People were sending
Speaker 1: me direct messages on Facebook, Instagram, and x Some of
Speaker 1: them were threatening, threatening violence, questioning my career, my life,
Speaker 1: calling me fat and ugly, lot of profanity.
Speaker 2: Blank my blank, and blank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Many of them not from America, right from all
Speaker 1: over the world. And this has continued up until today.
Speaker 1: We're talking on Friday, and these messages are still coming in.
Speaker 1: Better cover your ears. I was like, what did I do?
Speaker 1: And then many of the messages. You don't have secret
Speaker 1: service as far as I know. No. Yeah, but many,
Speaker 1: many of these she just mentioned an Olympic athlete, and
Speaker 1: that seemed odd to me. I don't really talk much
Speaker 1: Olympics other than the basketball team. This is a weird
Speaker 1: story about swimmers going through poopy water in France in Perie.
Speaker 1: Then I'll talk about that. But a lot of them
Speaker 1: mentioned the name Simone Biles. I was like, I don't
Speaker 1: I'm not a gymnast. Do I look like a gymnast guy?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: Do I called you Eddy Dan? Do I look like
Speaker 1: a gymnast guy? How about shut up? Do I look
Speaker 1: like a gymnast guy?
Speaker 3: No, I I don't know. I've never seen you in
Speaker 3: one of those Simone Biles outfits.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it seemed very odd to me. And yeah,
Speaker 1: something like that. I don't know. But she's not someone
Speaker 1: we talk about. I mean I have talked about her
Speaker 1: in the past, but not very often. So then I
Speaker 1: was like, my mind starts wondering. I'm like, did I
Speaker 1: get hacked that somebody? Is this like some kind of
Speaker 1: am I getting punked?
Speaker 2: Here?
Speaker 1: Is somebody out to get me?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: What's going on? Are the bots attacking me, you know,
Speaker 1: exactly like Ai. I. Really it was very confusing to
Speaker 1: me because it made no sense. I get people sending
Speaker 1: me messages because I'll rip the Lakers or Lebron James
Speaker 1: or stuff like that and people, or I'll rip your
Speaker 1: local team and people will say, ah, how dare you?
Speaker 1: You're against my tribe, so I got to attack you.
Speaker 1: I get all that, but like the Olympic gymnast Simone Biles,
Speaker 1: I'll like, oh, that seems kind of odd to me.
Speaker 1: And so as the Hall of Fame radio broadcaster would say,
Speaker 1: you know what the news is, but now you're going
Speaker 1: to hear the rest of the story. So it turns out, Danny,
Speaker 1: are you intrigued at all by this? Are you? Are
Speaker 1: you curious boy this? Yeah? I want to know who
Speaker 1: wants to kill you. I have not talked about this
Speaker 1: on the Overnight show. I saved this for the podcast
Speaker 1: because I figured I didn't want to go down that
Speaker 1: road on the We won't have enough time on the
Speaker 1: on the radio show. The podcast we can dedicate time.
Speaker 1: I'm still getting, you know, random messages from from people,
Speaker 1: and a lot of them in different languages. There are
Speaker 1: a fair amount in English but there's some various languages.
Speaker 1: I don't even recognize some of the languages racist and
Speaker 1: so I'm like, this is very weird to me. And
Speaker 1: it turns out that way back in twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: I did a Mallard monologue about Simone Biles quitting on
Speaker 1: the US Olympic team. I ripped her. I actually remember
Speaker 1: you doing that. It was one of the great monologues
Speaker 1: I've ever done. I wouldn't say all that, but I
Speaker 1: remember you doing that. I dotted the eye. I nailed
Speaker 1: it so much so that the producers at Netflix, who
Speaker 1: just made a documentary about Simone Biles, put me in
Speaker 1: the documentary ripping Simone.
Speaker 3: Biles, demoting this on Netflix.
Speaker 1: Well, I haven't watched it, so I was getting screenshots.
Speaker 1: I'm going to watch this now.
Speaker 3: I wasn't planning on watching this, but I'm definitely gonna
Speaker 3: watch it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I just for that. That explains why I
Speaker 1: was getting random messages from people very comparable to the
Speaker 1: Manu Genobili rant that I had a couple of years
Speaker 1: ago where I said he's not a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 1: And I'm still getting randos from Argentina sending me hate
Speaker 1: messages so in Spanish. Yeah, yeah, exactly, so I listen.
Speaker 1: I love the keyboard tough guys. I love the guys
Speaker 1: Danny to hold their phone and are real tough and
Speaker 1: all that they're all fake tough guys. But I part
Speaker 1: of me wants to thank Netflix. It's great publicity for
Speaker 1: the Mala brand. And these are people that searched out
Speaker 1: my social media, that gave me views and whatnot of
Speaker 1: my content. So I thank them. And I do a
Speaker 1: gymnastics monologue every four years or so, as you know, Dan,
Speaker 1: and this one, this one happened to go viral.
Speaker 3: Now do you know have you researched this series? Is
Speaker 3: it a docu series? Is more than one episode?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just know that I connect. How
Speaker 1: much of this do I have to watch to find this? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I assume it's a docu series, but I have no
Speaker 1: I I didn't know anything about it. Like I'm not
Speaker 1: a big Netflix guy, and I'll watch it occasionally, but
Speaker 1: I didn't know much about it. But people were like,
Speaker 1: you should be ashamed of yourself. I'm like, no, I'm
Speaker 1: not ashamed of myself. This is you know, how hard
Speaker 1: I do? We all do this? Dandy in radio. We
Speaker 1: love radio and broadcasting, but it's a disposable form of entertainment.
Speaker 1: Once it's done, it's done. You move on. Right. Every
Speaker 1: night is its own entity, and then the next night
Speaker 1: is a new night. And usually it's not like like
Speaker 1: you think you're like a book or something. You can
Speaker 1: go back and read an old book. People read books
Speaker 1: from way back right, the Bible, the oldest book of
Speaker 1: them all right, people read that very old book.
Speaker 3: It is a docu series, by the way, it looks
Speaker 3: like the first two episodes are available, so that's not
Speaker 3: that hard. I'm gonna watch both.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, and it might be in the first one.
Speaker 1: I don't know which one it's in. I don't and
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm gonna watch it. But I'm
Speaker 1: not upset by this. It was saved in a time capsule.
Speaker 1: I mean, these documents entries get rebroadcast for years, and
Speaker 1: Netflix is kind of a big deal, so I kind
Speaker 1: of part of me wishes they would have paid me
Speaker 1: for it. I contacted the people at Fox Danny, and
Speaker 1: I was like, Hey, did they get permission to use
Speaker 1: the clip? And nobody said they did. I guess they
Speaker 1: just used it, but usually have to get clearance to
Speaker 1: use something like that. But I guess they just did
Speaker 1: it as far as I know, and maybe I talked
Speaker 1: to the wrong people, but as I understand it, they did.
Speaker 1: But that's my take. I stick by my take. It's
Speaker 1: a great take. These takes are usually not free, and
Speaker 1: as an artist into the take that was, I'd like
Speaker 1: some compensation for my take. But so thank you Simone
Speaker 1: Biles for quitting on the US Olympic team in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one and allowing me to have a great monologue
Speaker 1: that night. And here we are all these years later,
Speaker 1: and it's it's getting some play.
Speaker 3: It's getting surprised you weren't canceled after that monologue because
Speaker 3: there were some people that were kind of scared to
Speaker 3: go after her. Remember, yeah, I didn't, I didn't.
Speaker 1: We know. You don't give an f nah, I don't care.
Speaker 1: And let me point out when I say that if
Speaker 1: she does win a medal, I'm taking credit because this
Speaker 1: proved go. No. No, let me explain.
Speaker 3: This is when you this is when you talk shit
Speaker 3: about an athlete on the air, they do really well
Speaker 3: right after you talk shit about them, and you say
Speaker 3: it was because of me.
Speaker 1: They heard me all right, take a breath, let me explain. Okay,
Speaker 1: So the way this works here, the most important thing
Speaker 1: in sports is the hater. My entire life. Every time
Speaker 1: a team wins a championship, what do they all say,
Speaker 1: what do they all say at the parade?
Speaker 3: They always talk about how no one expected this from them,
Speaker 3: nobody believed in us.
Speaker 1: We proved the doubters wrong. The Celtics were overwhelming favorite
Speaker 1: to win the championship. They won the championship, and they
Speaker 1: have to all these athletes have to manufacture outrage, right,
Speaker 1: and so sim own Biles, You're welcome. Okay, You're welcome.
Speaker 1: That's a three and a half year old take okay,
Speaker 1: And so there you go. The most important thing in
Speaker 1: sports is the hater. And welcome to the Haters Ball.
Speaker 1: It's open every night from two am to six am,
Speaker 1: the Haters Ball, right there. Enjoy. There you go. That's
Speaker 1: my my Olympic story. You in Netflix a matchmate, and hell,
Speaker 1: I wanted to flash back to last week and now
Speaker 1: you were not here, Danny, one of the more controversial
Speaker 1: weekends in I didn't think going into the weekend with
Speaker 1: Alex the Vegan that it would be on the same
Speaker 1: level with talking to Lenny Dykster or Scott Farrell when
Speaker 1: he was naked on a bed in a casino in
Speaker 1: Atlantic City, or just Lenny Dykster being Lendy dextra. But
Speaker 1: here we are, so Alex the Vegan went full Alex
Speaker 1: Jones on the On the last weekend, it got progressively worse.
Speaker 1: Friday he was kind of okay, Saturday was really ridonculous,
Speaker 1: and then Sunday he like, all right, here I am,
Speaker 1: this is my masterpiece. One of the things that came
Speaker 1: up was Antarctica. The conspiracy theories about Antarctica. We talked
Speaker 1: about some of these, but a listener named Mike in Dallas,
Speaker 1: who's a big conspiracy guy, he sent this to me
Speaker 1: and he said, these are the top conspiracy theories about Antarctica,
Speaker 1: and he wanted us to mention this. So I want
Speaker 1: to go through some of these. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I'll get to all of them. There's a lot of them.
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of mystery around the continent at
Speaker 1: the southern tip of the planet. Right it's isolated, there's
Speaker 1: apparently extreme weather conditions there, and it is the continent
Speaker 1: that we don't know all that much about, right so
Speaker 1: these are from Mike in Dallas. These are conspiracy theories.
Speaker 1: He said that in World War Two Adolf Hitler had
Speaker 1: a secret base on Antarctica. That's one of the conspiracies.
Speaker 1: And apparently the Germans did go there from nineteen thirty
Speaker 1: eight to nineteen thirty nine, just before the start of
Speaker 1: the Second World War. All right, so there's the conspiracy theories,
Speaker 1: hopefully in Frozer balls off. Then there's the obviously we
Speaker 1: talked about this one with Alex Levegan.
Speaker 2: Some people think, I'm ns.
Speaker 1: There are UFOs in Antarctica, that that's why people aren't
Speaker 1: really allowed to go there. There's UFOs there. There's another theory.
Speaker 1: I think we covered this one also, that there's a
Speaker 1: lost civilization in Antarctica, maybe the mythical city of Atlantis
Speaker 1: is there. And there's apparently a claim that goes back
Speaker 1: to the fifteen hundreds that shows Antarctica's continent before it
Speaker 1: froze over. So that's that's a theory. These are all
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories. Antarctica has a secret passage to the Hollow Earth.
Speaker 1: I kind of like that one. We didn't cover that.
Speaker 1: I still get email from the Hollow Earth people. Oh, boy, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I still still email me. The idea of the Hollow
Speaker 1: Earth first mentioned in eighteen eighteen by an American Navy officer,
Speaker 1: and it gained traction later on in a lost diary
Speaker 1: was found, and so there's apparently there's some some legs
Speaker 1: so that there was another conspiracy. For Mike, there was
Speaker 1: a secret pyramid in Antarctica, or a bunch of pyramids
Speaker 1: in Antarctica. Okay, I've heard that one. You've heard that. Okay,
Speaker 1: what else? Antarctica is guarded by the military, which I
Speaker 1: think is is that a conspiracy? Is that true? I
Speaker 1: thought that's I thought that was true. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know that they claim that's a conspiracy. The US air
Speaker 1: they have a research base in Antarctica, there's a supply
Speaker 1: base from a supply base in New Zealand. Antarctica does
Speaker 1: not exist. It's just an ice wall. There's another conspiracy.
Speaker 1: It's not real. It's just an ice wall that even
Speaker 1: with Aliens and secret civilizations and a Nazi bas it's
Speaker 1: just there's nothing there. I like the UFO, I don't
Speaker 1: believe it, but I could see there's some weird stuff
Speaker 1: going on there that they don't. But who's going to
Speaker 1: just show up to Antarctica. That's the part of it. Like,
Speaker 1: it's very hard to get there, right, The weather's terrible
Speaker 1: conditions you know for travel, not good to get there,
Speaker 1: So how do you even get there? There's no way
Speaker 1: to prove what you believe. You can't take an uber,
Speaker 1: you can't do that, you know, fly there. I don't
Speaker 1: think Southwest Airlines is going there.
Speaker 3: Oh that too, but they are going to assign your
Speaker 3: seat now, Oh yeah, I saw that, bastards, Which means
Speaker 3: they're going to charge more, is what that means, right,
Speaker 3: that's what they mean. They're gonna start charging us for
Speaker 3: bags too. That's not far behind, trust me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the first step. And then once people
Speaker 1: get used to this, then they'll start charging for bags.
Speaker 1: And there's no reason to fly Southwest Airlines then, right,
Speaker 1: the whole point, the whole gimmick was a free bags
Speaker 1: and it's a better deal. If it's no different than
Speaker 1: the other airlines, then what's the point. Now, I'm still
Speaker 1: not flying Spirit Airlines like Rob Parker, I need a
Speaker 1: cold shower. I'm not doing that anyway. Turning the page here,
Speaker 1: Danny meet George Jetson. Now, when I was a little
Speaker 1: kid and we didn't have the Internet and we needed entertainment.
Speaker 1: We turned the cartoons. Now, usually we had to wait
Speaker 1: till Saturday morning because I'm old, and we had the
Speaker 1: Saturday morning cartoons, which is a big day. It sucked
Speaker 1: getting up early, but the gift was you get the cartoons,
Speaker 1: and we love the cartoons. Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: We watched reruns of Different Strokes at like six thirty AM,
Speaker 3: right before the cartoons began.
Speaker 1: Oh, it was so good. And where I was the
Speaker 1: cartoons would lead into like professional wrestling with me and
Speaker 1: Gene Oakland. We're a couple of the Anahype Convention Center.
Speaker 1: This weekend, WWF, come out and see Hall Coger this weekend.
Speaker 1: You know, I was like, okay, all right, brother. But
Speaker 1: during the week sometimes we would get episodes of the
Speaker 1: Flintstones and the Jetsons. And I never imagined as a
Speaker 1: child that the Jetsons would inspire a new form of travel.
Speaker 1: But here we are. Is it true that a new
Speaker 1: law called the Jetson's Law is clearing the way for
Speaker 1: flying cars? Did you see this? Didn't see this? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a great story. Yeah. I was a big fan
Speaker 1: of the Jetsons. I wish Rosie would have been my
Speaker 1: maid when I was a kid. I thought that would
Speaker 1: have been great. And I have that machine that spits
Speaker 1: out the food. But yeah, a new Jetson's Law paving
Speaker 1: the way for flying cars from August first and will
Speaker 1: allow future aircraft to be classified as vehicles. It turns
Speaker 1: out Minnesota passed a new road law that sets the
Speaker 1: stage for flying cars. Listen, Jetson, he said, well, this
Speaker 1: is great. We can avoid all the traffic until you're
Speaker 1: just stuck in traffic in the air, right, because that's
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. But state lawmakers in Minnesota pass
Speaker 1: the so called Jetson's Law, goes into effects starting here
Speaker 1: in just a few days on August first, and the
Speaker 1: legislation defines a roadable aircraft as a vehicle that can
Speaker 1: both fly and drive on public highways. The definition includes
Speaker 1: airplane to car hybrids designed for road use. The story says,
Speaker 1: I'm reading out of the store here that are capable
Speaker 1: of taking off and land at an airfield. Right, So
Speaker 1: there you go. Is Elon Musk going to be selling these? Also,
Speaker 1: who's going to be selling the cars that you get
Speaker 1: can fly with? I don't know. I'm sure someone's making
Speaker 1: them right now, we just don't know about it. I
Speaker 1: hope they're not as ugly as that truck. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I think's discover. I see a lot of them where
Speaker 1: I live. There's a lot of those Tesla trucks around,
Speaker 1: and the people that have seen driving them are like
Speaker 1: kind of petite, small people. And it's very odd when
Speaker 1: they get out of it, because it's a massive truck
Speaker 1: and it looks like they get out of a dinosaur.
Speaker 1: As we talked about in a previous episode. It reminds
Speaker 1: me of when I was a kid and we had
Speaker 1: an assignment in junior high school to make a soapbox
Speaker 1: racer out of like a block of wood. If you're
Speaker 1: bad at it, it looks like that. It's just like
Speaker 1: a triangle, you know. I like, that's not very good.
Speaker 3: What's up with all the smears and fingerprints all over
Speaker 3: them too?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not not a good look. Not the greatest
Speaker 1: of situations. Hey, a reminder, A week from tomorrow is
Speaker 1: the Malor Palooza. Love for you to come out to
Speaker 1: Vegas and hang out with us. It is a rare
Speaker 1: occurrence where everyone on the Overnight Show is there and
Speaker 1: This is not sanctioned by Fox Sports Radio. They would
Speaker 1: have to spend money on it. We're spending our own money.
Speaker 1: We have no budget, very proud of that. We wish
Speaker 1: we did have a budget, but we don't, so we're
Speaker 1: just doing us on our own. This is just grassroots
Speaker 1: movement to hang out with you and thank you for
Speaker 1: listening to the overnight show. So if you're interested in that,
Speaker 1: all the details are on social media. But we're gonna
Speaker 1: meet at the Stakeout Bar and Grill, and that's at
Speaker 1: forty eight hundred South Maryland Parkway in Vegas. It's near
Speaker 1: the UNLV campus, so be hanging out there from three o'clock.
Speaker 1: This is not tomorrow. This is a week from tomorrow,
Speaker 1: August third, three o'clock till five. I'll be there, Eddie
Speaker 1: Coop and Loraina. Danny because of a scheduling snaffoo, will
Speaker 1: not be making it.
Speaker 3: You bastards on Big Baby Coa's birthday weekend.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, so Danny will not be there,
Speaker 1: but everyone else will. We'll all be there hanging out
Speaker 1: with you and having a grand time. And I don't
Speaker 1: know how many people are going to show up. I
Speaker 1: did get an RS VP from a friend of mine
Speaker 1: who lives in Vegas is very excited about this. And
Speaker 1: I haven't seen this guy in a long time and
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to catching up with him. And so
Speaker 1: we'll see see who else shows up. But Malapalooza weekend.
Speaker 1: We have some foody fun. Are you ready for foody fun?
Speaker 1: I had some food he fun? All righty for food
Speaker 1: foody fun. Let's do it all right? I love this
Speaker 1: story out of Japan. You ever been to Japan? Never been?
Speaker 1: Neither of I. Cooper Loop just went to Japan this year.
Speaker 1: I've never been. I don't know that I want to go.
Speaker 1: I guess at some point, when I get older and
Speaker 1: there's nothing else to do in life, you just travel around.
Speaker 1: I think Europe is probably up first when I cross
Speaker 1: a major ocean. But Japanese restaurants have announced that they
Speaker 1: are not charging tourists extra. There's been a long standing
Speaker 1: belief that the Japanese restaurants price gouge the tourist. Here's
Speaker 1: what the Japanese restaurants are saying. They're saying that they're
Speaker 1: just charging the locals less. Is what you're saying. We're
Speaker 1: not charging the tourists more we just have a we
Speaker 1: have a different fee for the people that live here.
Speaker 1: Wink wink is what they're saying. That is tremendous. That
Speaker 1: is outstanding, hyperbole, outstanding. A guy that owns one of
Speaker 1: the top restaurants in Japan says, people say it's discrimination,
Speaker 1: but it's really hard for us to serve foreigners and
Speaker 1: is beyond our capacity.
Speaker 3: The owners said, I thought you're not supposed to say
Speaker 3: foreigners anymore.
Speaker 1: He said it right here. Cancel him. He's racistist. He says,
Speaker 1: we need this pricing system for cost reasons. He maintained
Speaker 1: is that he doesn't charge tourists extra. Instead, he offers
Speaker 1: a thousand yen discount to locals. How how is it
Speaker 1: harder to serve foreigners? Is it because they eat more?
Speaker 1: Is that why? Because we actually expect good service? Wow?
Speaker 1: Shots fire?
Speaker 3: No, I mean I'm saying maybe if you're a local
Speaker 3: and they're slow, you're used to that, where we like,
Speaker 3: we're more demanding, So I'm not saying we're better customers.
Speaker 1: They're worried that the tourists are going to drive away
Speaker 1: their loyal and frequent local customers. What does that mean?
Speaker 1: Like we're too loud? Evil evil foreigners. How dare you?
Speaker 1: How dare you turning the page? Well, this story's gone
Speaker 1: viral this week if you saw it the other day.
Speaker 1: The Ohio Supreme Court has decided that chicken wings advertised
Speaker 1: as boneless can't have bones. Yeah, it's fine to have bones.
Speaker 1: Put some bones in there, nothing to worry about. So
Speaker 1: you cannot expect boneless chicken wings to actually be free
Speaker 1: of bones. Going to the Ohio Supreme Court, they rejected
Speaker 1: claims by a restaurant customer who suffered he claims a
Speaker 1: serious medical complication from getting a bone stuck in his throat.
Speaker 1: The guy from Hambleton, Ohio, was at a restaurant with
Speaker 1: his wife. He ordered the usual boneless wings with parmesan
Speaker 1: garlic sauce. When he felt a bite sized piece of
Speaker 1: meat go down his throat the wrong way. Three days later,
Speaker 1: he was unable to keep food down. He went to
Speaker 1: the emergency room, where doctors discovered a long, thin bone
Speaker 1: that had torn his esophagus ah and caused an infection.
Speaker 1: The guy sued the restaurant, a wing shop in Hamilton, Ohio,
Speaker 1: saying that the restaurant failed to warn him that the
Speaker 1: so called boneless wings had actual and they were actually
Speaker 1: a nuggets, but they contained bone. Come on the Supreme Court,
Speaker 1: it said that boneless wings refers to a cooking style
Speaker 1: and that the guy should have been on guard against bones,
Speaker 1: since it's common knowledge that chickens have bones.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go, bs, Supreme Court of Ohio. Who
Speaker 3: I believe, Supreme Court of Ohio. I blame Justin and Cincinnati.
Speaker 3: That's who I blame. Those are his people.
Speaker 1: Bad job by him. Well I think we I said
Speaker 1: this to you the other day. Chick fil A no
Speaker 1: longer America's best fast food restaurant. The new winner. This
Speaker 1: is bad Del Taco wrong, which is not even everywhere? Right.
Speaker 3: Del Taco is not a national chain correct for a
Speaker 3: good reason. I mean, they're okay, but they're nowhere near
Speaker 3: the top of the list. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't get it, but there you go. How about
Speaker 1: this Seven eleven's are getting a Japanese inspired revamp. There
Speaker 1: they're claiming they're going to vastly improve the menu. Oh,
Speaker 1: thank goodness, you're gonna get rid of those hot dogs
Speaker 1: that have been laying around for twelve hours.
Speaker 3: We actually tried this past weekend. We tried to go
Speaker 3: into a seven eleven's really quick before going to the
Speaker 3: movie theater, so we could sneak some stuff in one
Speaker 3: candy bar. Ben one candy bar three dollars and eighty
Speaker 3: nine cents and it had dust on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's terrible, it's embarrassing. It says here that the
Speaker 1: seven to eleven chain is taking things from Japan. A
Speaker 1: convenience store in Japan. They claim there that they have
Speaker 1: the usual snacks, beverages on the go meals, but they
Speaker 1: have fried chicken, sushi, egg sandwiches, fresh cakes and pastries
Speaker 1: and a bunch of other Japanese dishes that I won't
Speaker 1: even try to pronounce. And supposedly these are coming. Some
Speaker 1: of these things are coming to America. So there you go.
Speaker 1: See that soon. I texted you a foodie fun story,
Speaker 1: Oh I said about Chipotle?
Speaker 3: Yes, right, And we talked about this on a Foody
Speaker 3: Fun edition. Influencers quote unquote influencers who were going into
Speaker 3: Chipotle videotaping the you know, the portion size, and then
Speaker 3: Regular Joe's started taping the employees, trying to put pressure
Speaker 3: on them to make a bigger bowl at Chipotle. And
Speaker 3: now the CEO has come out and said that they're
Speaker 3: re emphasizing bigger portions for all customers after the backlash.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's the things called the Hawthorn effect, where
Speaker 1: when people know they're being recorded, they tend to perform better.
Speaker 3: That's right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah. So
Speaker 3: that's why you should tape your significant other when you're
Speaker 3: having sex.
Speaker 1: As long as they know the camera's on. I think
Speaker 1: it's not on. It might be in all states, that's true. Yeah,
Speaker 1: look at your local state laws. What else do we
Speaker 1: have here? I saw McDonald's is extending the five dollars
Speaker 1: meals because business is booming. Traffic is picked up at
Speaker 1: McDonald's restaurants, So the five dollars meal is gonna go
Speaker 1: into August. There was some chatter they were gonna get
Speaker 1: rid of it right away, but apparently it's gonna be there,
Speaker 1: you know what. I think that's that's enough, unless unless
Speaker 1: you can go to bo Jangles, which is not out here,
Speaker 1: but I like bo Jangles. It might go to when
Speaker 1: I'm in the South, I ate at bo Jangles. It
Speaker 1: might go to fast food. They have a barbecue pulled
Speaker 1: pork sandwich and a new WWE sandwich combo with a
Speaker 1: collectible cup. So if that's your jam, knock yourself out
Speaker 1: and I forgot. We also have the phrase of the week,
Speaker 1: the phrase of the week. Phrase of the week. This
Speaker 1: sent in indirectly from DJ Spin Patrick in San Diego. Spin.
Speaker 1: Longtime listening to the show, friend of the show, friend
Speaker 1: of the podcast, big support of what we do. We've
Speaker 1: met him, he's been in studio. I think he was
Speaker 1: in studio when you were there. Maybe not, Yes, okay.
Speaker 1: So the phrase of the week is lions share. You're
Speaker 1: getting the lion's share, right, you get the lion's share? Well,
Speaker 1: where did that come from? It actually originally goes back
Speaker 1: to Aesop's fable story according to what Patrick sent me here,
Speaker 1: where the lion goes out with some other animals to
Speaker 1: go hunting, and then they're dividing up what they killed.
Speaker 1: But the lion takes the first share, right, king of
Speaker 1: the jungle takes the first share of food and then
Speaker 1: leaves the rest for the other animals. But in the
Speaker 1: Middle Ages, kings and nobles held grand parties, and they
Speaker 1: had lots of food. They were gall of feasts and
Speaker 1: events and all that, and the main dish was served first.
Speaker 1: And if you were very important, if you were one
Speaker 1: of the one percent, was one of the elitists. You
Speaker 1: got to eat the lion share, meaning the largest portion
Speaker 1: of the food. So there it is lions share.
Speaker 3: The phrase of the word, or as we called it
Speaker 3: when I was a little kid, stepped as a fat ass.
Speaker 1: Well there's that also, I will get out on that
Speaker 1: is Friday. It's a chicken. Yeah, it's Friday. What do
Speaker 1: you got going on? You got Covino and Rich today.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna have a fun Friday afternoon with a
Speaker 3: game bend that's been sweeping the nation in the past
Speaker 3: couple of months. I don't know if you've heard this
Speaker 3: game that I put together called Chipotle Worker or WNBA Player.
Speaker 1: No, I've not heard that.
Speaker 3: At first, Rich was slightly offended and thought we'd get
Speaker 3: some blowback, but it's been a lot of fun because
Speaker 3: everybody is suddenly a WNBA expert. But when I give
Speaker 3: these names to the crew, we go around and they
Speaker 3: guess wrong almost every time.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I like this. This is like, this reminds me.
Speaker 1: We used to do a coach player entertainer on The
Speaker 1: Overnight Show and I stopped that game. But nobody knows anybody. Yeah, nobody.
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously I don't give any WNBA stars names out,
Speaker 3: but these guys don't know those players from a lady
Speaker 3: who's an executive for the Michigan Chipotle. And so it's
Speaker 3: a lot of laughter, a lot of fun. That's on
Speaker 3: Friday afternoon with Covino and Rich two to four pm
Speaker 3: on the West Side, and that is five to seven pm.
Speaker 3: Give me somewhere in upstate New York. Albany, Albany, Oh,
Speaker 3: we have an affiliate there. How about Almira, where Tom
Speaker 3: Looney's from. Tom Looney owns me. I'm his bitch, clearly
Speaker 3: without a doubt.
Speaker 1: Yeah. He used to talk about Elmira, New York. In Elmira,
Speaker 1: New York. Hey, listen, I've been. I've driven all over
Speaker 1: upstate New York. There by mistake. I went to Buffalo,
Speaker 1: and you drive to Buffalo. I drove to Buffalo from
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania and then drove back down to New York City.
Speaker 1: So I drove through pretty much all of New York
Speaker 1: on the New York Expressway. That's where Tony Soprano used
Speaker 1: to whack people.
Speaker 2: Hey, you're right, my job is extremely stressful.
Speaker 1: But not Syracuse. I didn't go to Syracuse. No, I
Speaker 1: went to Syracuse. I didn't go to Cooperstown because it
Speaker 1: was too far off the main road, so I chose
Speaker 1: not to go there. Anyway, have a wonderful Friday. I'm
Speaker 1: done for today. I did the Overnight Show last night.
Speaker 1: I'll be back with Danny tomorrow. We'll have more wild
Speaker 1: tales from our lives and whatnot, and we'll catch you
Speaker 1: next time later. Skater gotta murder. I gotta go
