1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:01,680
Speaker 1: Kabbooms.

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

6
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: Wow.

8
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,520

18
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: this edition of the Fifth Hour, we've got Benny Brittle.

19
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: Nerds are real, the firm of the week, the term

20
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: of the week, and you never know what else is

21
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: going to pop up. So that's at least the base,

22
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: that's how we're going to start. And then things happen.

23
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: Things happen so I wanted to start with this. Now.

24
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: We had the Malor Holiday party last weekend on Christmas Eve.

25
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: Now Hetbridge Farm remembers the mal Holiday Party, which is

26
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: not to be confused. A lot of people confuse this

27
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: with the Ugly Sweater party, and it's often mixed up.

28
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: And I just want you to know and not to

29
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: be corny or you know, it's a heartwarming event holiday party,

30
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: nothing like the ugly sweater part. It's almost all family.

31
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: There's a few friends, but it's almost all family at

32
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: the tabernacle, and it's just endless amounts of food and

33
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: all that. This is a separate deal, separate deal. And

34
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: here's the same thing that happens every year before every

35
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: one of these parties, Danny g. Every year it is

36
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: a mad dash. My wife runs around like the tornado,

37
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: the Tasmanian devil, trying to make everything perfect right. Everything

38
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: has to be just wonderful, beautiful, like it's back in

39
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: colonial times. Everything's perfect right, Everything's just wonderful and all

40
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: that stuff. And so there's like three or four days

41
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: of preparation, buying crap, figuring out the menu of these parties,

42
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: cleaning up everything, like the whole deal it's a big.

43
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 3: You ever get tired of hosting all these parties?

44
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, because my wife freaks out Danny. She's like,

45
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: oh my, if things are not perfect, it's very dramatic,

46
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: and I don't need the drama, right, I'm good with

47
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: the drama not being where it is now. The odd

48
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: thing is like before the party, it reminds me of

49
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: like a dramatic Shakespearean type play because it's so dramatic.

50
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,119
Speaker 1: But then afterwards it's Oh, I can't wait to host

51
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: another one, and I'm like, wait a minute. You know,

52
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: it's like we're running around, everyone's in a tizzy, and

53
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: I was like, will we get this thing done or not?

54
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: And it's like, oh, it's just But anyway, so we

55
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: had we had the holiday party, and as you know,

56
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: being the king of introverts, Danny not a big party

57
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: not a big party guy. But put on a happy face.

58
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: Put on a happy face, and yet again morphed into

59
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: Benny the Baker and over baked, made double the chocolate

60
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: chip cookies, made some sugar cookies. Half of them were

61
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: given green frosting, half of them are red. The Yin

62
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: and the Yang, but the star of the show a

63
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: debut item. You can call me now Benny Brittle. And

64
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: not because I have Britle bones and I can't even

65
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: get off a fire truck without my back hurting for

66
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: a week. Not because of that. No, it's the delicious

67
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: new treat that I and the confectionery have. I don't

68
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: know that I've mastered it, but it's pretty good. It's

69
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: pretty good. And that is the delicious new treat, the

70
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: peanut brittle, homemade peanut brittle, which I have always loved

71
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: peanut brittle. It is terrible for you, it's bad for

72
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: your teeth, and you shouldn't eat it and all this stuff.

73
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: It's got a lot of sugar, and I get all that,

74
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,559
Speaker 1: but it's so freaking good. It is so so freaking good.

75
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 3: This y that's in my top five.

76
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I remember when I was a kid, and

77
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: one of my fing favorite memories we went on a

78
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: family vacation to Hawaii and it was a big deal,

79
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: right for my mom and stuff, and you know, anyway

80
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: you're Hawaii, it's a long trip. I've ended up lucky enough.

81
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: I've been there many times over the years. But as

82
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: a kid, I didn't really know what I was getting into.

83
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: I didn't really appreciate it. The thing that I loved

84
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: as a fat kid in Hawaii was mac Damien nut brittle.

85
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: My mom got me a lot of that. I was like,

86
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: oh man, this is like the greatest stuff I've ever had.

87
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 3: Well, there's something about that and toffee both underrated.

88
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I was able to make peanut brittle and

89
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: it I think it's I'll have to I'll get you some, Dannie,

90
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: I'll have to get you some. I know you're not

91
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: eating sugar, so maybe I shouldn't get you some. But

92
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: it's really easy to make. The only thing I had

93
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: to get was they call it a candy thermometer, because

94
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: the key to this is a science to it, and

95
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: you've got to have the obviously the ingredients of the

96
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: most important things corn syrup, sugar, salt, baking soda, and

97
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: obviously a mother load of peanuts. But the science to

98
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: it is you have to do it all to the

99
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: right temperature and there's this sweet spot the goldilockswon for

100
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: peanut brittle. And so you mix all these ingredients and

101
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: you turn up the heat. You turn up the heat,

102
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: and then it's the magic hour, the golden hour, as

103
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: they say in photography right right before sunset, the golden hour,

104
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: when the lights, you know, God's light is just there.

105
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: It's perfect. The photos are amazing. You don't need to

106
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: filter anything. So when the sticky goo gets to the

107
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: perfect temperature, which is usually three hundred degrees to three

108
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: hundred and ten degrees, you then while you are stirring

109
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: it at that magical moment, you then quickly have to

110
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: turn the stove off. You have to grab the giant

111
00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: bowl of sloppy, sugary peanutty syrup all too good to

112
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: be true, and you then have to pour it in

113
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: to a tray with parchment paper, and then you have

114
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: to let it sit for like thirty forty minutes and

115
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: that's all. So it's it's a lot of moving parts,

116
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: but you can make it really great. And the thing

117
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: that they got I've always loved is we talked about Danny.

118
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: But I went to the store because I was like,

119
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: you know, I haven't had it in a while. And

120
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: I made it and and so I was like, Okay.

121
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: I went to a store the other night this week

122
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: and they were selling peanut brittle, like a small box

123
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:41,559
Speaker 1: of peanut brittle. Nine for a small box of peanut.

124
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: What are they doing?

125
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 4: It's crazy from your old producer, wrong button Bob. His

126
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 4: daughter was doing a fundraiser for her preschool. Yeah, it

127
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,559
Speaker 4: was twenty two dollars for a box of peanut brittle.

128
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: God, anytime you need peanut britle, I'll do it for it.

129
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: I'm even think I might go next level and make

130
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: macadamia nut brittle. How about that? I might go next

131
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: level Macadamian nut brill.

132
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 3: Last, ye crazy, You're going crazy?

133
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: Now I'm going wild man. But you know who would

134
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: buy that? The nerds? Because nerds are real Danny, and

135
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: they would buy that. That Macadamian nut brill is what

136
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: they would do.

137
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 4: You know what nerds buy two hundred dollars musta made lightsabers.

138
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,119
Speaker 4: So we had this topic on Covino and Rich filling

139
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 4: in for the Dan Patrick Show this past Thursday morning.

140
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 4: What's worse a sports nerd or a regular nerd?

141
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: Now you mean regular or do you mean a Disney nerd?

142
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: Because I think regular nerd, Disney nerds, sports nerd are

143
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: all different types of nerd. There's different qualities to each.

144
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 4: That's a good point. But I guess the nerd would

145
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,119
Speaker 4: fall into the category of a regular nerd.

146
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: Not necessarily, because there are Disney nerds that are really stupid,

147
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: but they're they love their Disney, right, and they're like,

148
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: there's the Poindexter nerd that isn't into Disney and really

149
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: isn't into sports, but it's like into like like there's

150
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess you'd call them like a sci

151
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: fi nerd, Right, there's the sci Fi nerd, there's the

152
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: Star Trek nerd, the Star Wars nerd, there's that nerd.

153
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 3: Or do you think the sports nerd ranks in there?

154
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: Well, this is very sensitive. It's a very delicate topic,

155
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: as you know, Danny, because we are dependent on the

156
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: sports nerd, and we My belief is we got into

157
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: this at one point because we were sports nerds. So

158
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: as I cycle analyze the sports nerd, I would have

159
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: them actually lower on the list. Like I think that

160
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 1: to me, And I'm not a big I don't hate Disneyland,

161
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: but I'm old enough to remember when I could go

162
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: for twenty dollars to get to Disneyland. They remember they

163
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: had that SoCal race.

164
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And see I agree with you because

165
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 4: Rich pointed out that a football or a sports nerd

166
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 4: will spend two hundred dollars on a jersey, and I say, yeah,

167
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 4: but I don't think I'm in the game. This Star

168
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,239
Speaker 4: Wars nerd who's spending two hundred dollars on a lightsaber

169
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 4: really thinks that he's in a Star Wars movie. Now,

170
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 4: to back up my point, we're there at Star Wars

171
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 4: Land and the big ride is Rise of the Resistance.

172
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 3: Amazing ride.

173
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 4: Okay, I like Star Wars, but I'm not a Star

174
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 4: Wars nerd by any means. Then now you get the

175
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 4: fast pass, you know, obviously you got to pay extra

176
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 4: for that. The problem with that Rise of the Resistance

177
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 4: ride is they have technical issues a lot. It's broke,

178
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 4: it's broke, and you scan your phone for the lightning lane.

179
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 4: But what happens is you get an alert saying that

180
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 4: the ride is not functioning, so you got to come

181
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 4: back later. Once the ride reopens, it sends an alert

182
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 4: you to the app to your phone. So all these

183
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 4: Star Wars nerds come running like bats out of hell

184
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 4: and pushing and shoving, and my wife turned wife.

185
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 3: He turned and.

186
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 4: Looked at me and said, what a bunch of Star

187
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 4: Wars nerds. And I say you're not kidding. So we

188
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 4: get inside the ride and at the beginning there's like

189
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 4: a like a fake general from the Dark Side who's

190
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 4: gonna get the info out of us. We all know

191
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 4: where the base for the Good Guys is, and they

192
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 4: tell you at the beginning of the ride. No matter what,

193
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 4: do not give the Dark Side the information about where

194
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 4: the base is for the Resistance. And this guy in

195
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 4: front of us, wearing a star accustomed Star Wars jacket,

196
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 4: turns to his buddy and says, if this was real life,

197
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 4: I wouldn't tell them even if they tortured me.

198
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: And how old was this person?

199
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 4: This guy was in his thirties for sure, and he

200
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 4: wasn't kidding. He was dead serious. We get out of

201
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 4: the ride and you know, the family to use the restroom.

202
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 4: So my wife he walks up to somebody dressed up

203
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 4: as you know, they have Star Wars characters walking around

204
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 4: who work for the park, And I mean, that's kind

205
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 4: of got to be a cool job, right if you

206
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 4: want to be a stormtrooper yeah or yeah, or you know,

207
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 4: you know, one of the one of the bad guys.

208
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 3: And there's a couple of good guys walking So.

209
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: That's what you want to. That's what you should do.

210
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: If you're a Star Wars nerd, you should work at Disneyland.

211
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: You can get paid to dress up, as you said,

212
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: a stormtrooper and walk around exactly.

213
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 3: We even met the Mandalorian.

214
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: Nice.

215
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 4: So my wife walks up to one of these characters

216
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 4: and she says, which way is the restroom. He's got

217
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 4: like this fancy lightsaber and he's decked out, and I

218
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 4: was like, man, this is one of the better characters

219
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 4: we've seen in here. He looks at my wife, he

220
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 4: would wide open eyes and he's like, I don't work here.

221
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: Now. The one advantage Danny, that the Star war that

222
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: that guy that Star Wars nerd has as opposed to

223
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: the sports nerd that goes to a game, is the

224
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: sports nerd ends up occasionally having to walk out of

225
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: the stand. It's like they're all dressed up and their

226
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: team loses, right, And it's like if you were a

227
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: Charger fan and you went to that Charger Raider game

228
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, and you were all dauled up

229
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: and you had your gar on, and then you had

230
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: to do the walk of shame out of the state.

231
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: Like if you're a Star wars nerd. You never have

232
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: to walk out at Disneyland like, oh man, we just lost.

233
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:33,719
Speaker 1: You know, it is embarrassing.

234
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 4: Somebody says sports nerd, I picture a geek crunching numbers

235
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 4: and having multiple fantasy teams, not necessarily somebody that goes

236
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 4: to the stadium, but more like a nerd at his

237
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 4: home office crunching numbers and stats.

238
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: So you don't think the guy that wears the full

239
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: uniform to go to a game qualifies as a sports nerd.

240
00:13:58,679 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to disagree.

241
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 3: I'm you on that.

242
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: It's a different kind of nerds.

243
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a different kind I'll give you that. It's

244
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 4: a different kind of nerds.

245
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 1: We're talking shoulder pads, I'm talking to pants like I'm

246
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: going all in, right, there are people that go all

247
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: in on that.

248
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 4: Well, there's that confusing TV commercial right now where the

249
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 4: kid transfers to a different school and he's wearing a

250
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 4: forty nine Ers shirt and the kids in the class

251
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 4: are talking shit to him, and then Christian McCaffrey is

252
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 4: there like his angel, his guardian, and he's like, oh,

253
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 4: you're gonna have to up your game. And so the

254
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 4: second day of school for the kid he goes in

255
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 4: with even more forty nine ers gear on, and the

256
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 4: kids are still talking crap to him. So then McCaffrey's

257
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 4: like man, bunch of haters, So then he has to

258
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 4: up his game even more. And the kid has shoulder

259
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 4: pads on the uniform, pants, the cleats. Like this kid

260
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 4: walks into class looking like a real forty nine er player.

261
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 3: How is that not gonna get him picked on?

262
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: Yeah? No, no, no. What was the commercial for? I

263
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: don't even remember.

264
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 3: That's a good question. I don't even know.

265
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: It's a very effective commercial.

266
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 3: We liked what they were saying, great marketing.

267
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: No idea what the product was. But the commercial is very.

268
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 3: Good, very memorable, but for the wrong reason.

269
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is the most memorable commercials in my life.

270
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I could remember what the product is.

271
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, there was a Wendy's commercial

272
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: with this old lady saying where's the beef? But I

273
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: remember it was Wendy's like their whole market, like where's

274
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: the beef?

275
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 3: Right?

276
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: That was their whole thing? Remember the gate? There was

277
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: another when I was a kid, Gatorade commercial. Remember that

278
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: want to be like Mike's song?

279
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: Oh of course I was going to mention that right now.

280
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was that was a big deal because kids

281
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 4: would like walk around singing that song out loud.

282
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: Oh it was a great tune, especially if your name

283
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: was Mike. You know, it's wonderful.

284
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 3: And you got the Mars Black.

285
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 4: Then commercials for Air Jordan, Oh yeah, yes, those were great.

286
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 4: Bow Noose the Bownose campaign.

287
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: Have a solid bo Jackson nightmare. Yeah, yeah, that was good.

288
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: There were some classics. But we usually know what the

289
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: product is. Usually, you know, we don't know what the

290
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: product is that you're not necessarily the marketing arm is

291
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: not doing something right? What do I know? Moving on,

292
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: we have the term of the week, not the words

293
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: of the week or the word of the week. The

294
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: term of the week.

295
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 3: Are you ready of the week?

296
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: This is an exclusive to the Fifth Hour podcast. If

297
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: you would like to recommend a term of the week

298
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: to a future episode of the podcast, please send that in.

299
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: The term of the week is rain check rain check.

300
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: Now today is Saturday, Danny, And if you look at

301
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: your weather apps, supposed to be raining today. And where

302
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: we do the show from in La But you know,

303
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: winter for most people, snows lead all that stuff. But

304
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 1: here in California's just rained. You need tires, by the way, No,

305
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm doing a tire rack commercial. So

306
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: it's gonna's supposed to rain to it. But the term raincheck,

307
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: I think we know what that means, right, So it's

308
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: a promisory note. It was originally written as a form

309
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 1: of like a written ticket. Well here's a great story.

310
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: I just kind of fell into this. And I don't

311
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: know how I stumbled upon this because I'm I guess

312
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: I'm a nerd. I'm a word nerd. I admit it.

313
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. I'm, you know, nerd Poindexter guy.

314
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: But didn't you know the first rain checks were issued?

315
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: Where do you think they were issued?

316
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 3: What do you think, man, I don't know.

317
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: At a baseball game? And it started in okay, all right,

318
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: it started in baseball. Uh And and this is this

319
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: is wild to me. So the first recorded rain check

320
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: was issued on the twenty first day of June eighteen

321
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: eighty three by the Saint Louis Brown Stockings. Now they

322
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: are the forerunner to what eventually became the Saint Louis Cardinals,

323
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: and they made a policy in Saint Louis to issue

324
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: rainchecks to fans who paid for a game that was

325
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: rained out. The reason that was rather important is because

326
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: I believe it was the association, which was not the

327
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: major leagues. This was something other than the Major League.

328
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: I think it was the Federal League. I'm not sure

329
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: exactly the name of the league, so you know, don't

330
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: hold me to that. But the Saint Louis Brown Stockings,

331
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: according to that Post Dispatch story, they decided they will

332
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: not make in eighteen eighty three. They said, we will

333
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: no longer make patrons pay, not fans. Patrons pay for

334
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: what they don't see, as was the case. That was

335
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: standard operating procedure with all the other teams in that association,

336
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: and everyone buying a ticket to a game in Saint

337
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: Louis on days where rain is apprehend you know, stopping

338
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: the game, they said, apprehended, they will be given a

339
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: raincheck which will allow them to come to a game

340
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: the following day where the weather's good and all that.

341
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: And that was the beginning of rainchecks. It started in

342
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 1: baseball in eighteen eighty three and is still used today,

343
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: which is why.

344
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 4: So it was a literal thing, because then it also

345
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 4: just became a part of our speech where you'd say

346
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 4: to a girl, can we have sex tonight and she'd

347
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 4: say raincheck.

348
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: Well, yes, that is you could definitely add that to

349
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: the mix. But I the thing about this that is

350
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: wild to me is that at that time they just

351
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: had a policy where they wouldn't give you an opportunity

352
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: to go to another game. But now the problem we

353
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: have now we don't really deal with this where we

354
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: lived any but I know from friends that live in

355
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 1: Boston and other places, like, you'll go to a Red

356
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: Sox game and if it's kind of a rainy night,

357
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 1: they'll sit around for three or four hours through rain

358
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: delays off and on to make sure they get the

359
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 1: game in so they don't have to issue rain checks

360
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: to people.

361
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 3: Gay.

362
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, they hate it. They can't stand I bet you

363
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: the people in sports, if you behind the scenes you

364
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: asked them, they'd be like, Oh, this is terrible. How

365
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: dare that team in Saint Louis? What's wrong with them?

366
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: Why do they have to do this? It's a bad

367
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: job by them, And they go on and on and

368
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: on and all about it, you know, because you know

369
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: how cheap it is. As far as I want to

370
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: go back to the nerd thing though, because the Disney

371
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: nerd and the sports nerd are experiencing the same, the

372
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: same thing. Where Disney used to be affordable, affordable family fund,

373
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: sporting events, affordable family fund. Right, you could even get merch.

374
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: You could get merch for a reasonable price.

375
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you just made me think about something.

376
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 4: That sports nerd at the Chicago Cubs game that got

377
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 4: in the way of the ball.

378
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: Oh Bartman, Steve Bartman.

379
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, now that's a sports nerd.

380
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: Yep, that is a sports nerd.

381
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 3: He is a walkman on.

382
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: And amazingly, all these years later, twenty years later, he

383
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: is still knocked done an on camera interview. He has

384
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: completely stayed hidden, which tells you two things. He is

385
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: an introvert and he must be loaded because he could

386
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: have made a fair amount of money. They would have

387
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: paid to have Steve Bartman on TV time, and he

388
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: turned down that money.

389
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 4: They even wanted him to be a part of their

390
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 4: championship parade, remember, yeah.

391
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he didn't. He didn't want any part of it.

392
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 3: Oh, it's crazy. He could have got a ring and

393
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 3: all that.

394
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: Yeah crazy, Yeah, Yeah, you wonder if he's been back.

395
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 3: To like in a disguise well, he probably.

396
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: Looks a lot different he was he what was his

397
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: mid twenties, It looked like around that time, so he's

398
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: probably his mid forties now.

399
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 3: Probably still looks like a sports nerd though.

400
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, there were people dressing up for Halloween as Steve Bartman.

401
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: You remember that. Yeah, it was Nuhing. I was on

402
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: the air that night at Fox Sports Radio and we

403
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,719
Speaker 1: were counting down. It was a huge deal, Cubs and Marlins.

404
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: Cubs are nine outs away from going to the World Series.

405
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 3: You know, it was like the.

406
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it a Dusty Baker. I was gonna

407
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: be It's gonna be it was. I think it wasn't

408
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: Dusty Baker as the manager. I think he was managing.

409
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: Where was it, Uh who was managing the Cubs? I

410
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: think it was Dusty. But I just that night, the

411
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: excitement and then watching it all implode and that didn't

412
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: end the series, like may any of the greatest moments

413
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: in baseball. That was not the That was the turning point. Yeah,

414
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: there was another game after that. It's like the the

415
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: Buckner play in the world. The Kirk Gibson home run

416
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: was in Game one.

417
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 3: It's just the way everybody remembers it.

418
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that that. Remember the Rangers Cardinals when Nelson Cruz

419
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: misplayed the ball in the outfield. That was also Game six,

420
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: I think, I don't think it was Game seven where

421
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: the Rangers blew it and the Cardinals ended up coming

422
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: back and winning.

423
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 3: How about the Angels pitcher who killed himself.

424
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: I hate to say which one, but.

425
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 3: Donnie Moore, Yeah, Donnie Moore? Was that was that a no?

426
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: That was That's a good call. That was in Anaheim

427
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: and they had to go back to Boston, if I remember,

428
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: to play at Finway. And they showed up and they

429
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: wasted a lot of fossil fuels, the Angels, and they

430
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: got into the field position and started sucking their thumb

431
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: and and that was it. They had Gene Autry, the

432
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: Singing Cowboy. That was his shot right there to win

433
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 1: the World Series, and it all went to hell. It

434
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: all went to which is different than basketball, Like a

435
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: lot of the basketball plays were in the final game,

436
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: but in baseball not quite the same thing as an odd.

437
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 4: Yeah exactly, Like think about the New York Knicks starts

438
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 4: missing all those shots.

439
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 3: In Game seven.

440
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, actually a Game seven, the Willis Reid game,

441
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: even though he didn't really play that well. But that

442
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: was a game seven against the Lakers, Knicks and Lakers,

443
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: and that was actually the Walt Clyde Fraser game. But

444
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: he doesn't get credit for it because they able to said, well,

445
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: that's the Willis Reid give legend became the fact he

446
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: go with the legends of the Willis Reid game.

447
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 3: He played.

448
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: He played. I think he scored like one basket or

449
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: two baskets. That's it, played the first quarter of the game.

450
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: But they're like the New York writers had a field

451
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: day with how.

452
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 4: He was basically just their rally banana.

453
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,239
Speaker 1: It was. It was. It was craziness. All right, we'll

454
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,719
Speaker 1: get out on that. Anything going on today, Danny, I

455
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: was some college football, not great games and not there's

456
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: an NFL game today. We got the Lions and the Cowboys,

457
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: a standalone NFL game.

458
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, Cowboys at home, which means they'll probably win because

459
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 4: they win at home and they suck on the road.

460
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: They're favored by six. Of course, I will shamelessly promote

461
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: Benny Versus the Penny, which will be airing on regional

462
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: cable television today, So check that out. It's not on

463
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: the show because we try to avoid the Saturday show

464
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 1: because the show runs through Sunday morning, so we generally

465
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: avoid Thursday and Saturday games.
