Speaker 1: Kabbooms.
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 now in.
Speaker 1: The air everyway and welcome into the podcast dojo. You
Speaker 1: have found the Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny
Speaker 1: g Radio, and we were so happy you have traversed
Speaker 1: the micro blogging websites and come into the podcast network.
Speaker 1: I don't know. You can find this podcast everywhere, right,
Speaker 1: you can find it on the iHeart podcast network. It's
Speaker 1: available wherever you get your podcasts. But I am here
Speaker 1: Ben Mahler and Nanny g Radio right over there.
Speaker 3: Danny g Rare, just say worldwide.
Speaker 4: Ben, you're like Pitbull, Just say you're mister Worldwide.
Speaker 1: I'm just doing a word salad. Danny. I'm just talking
Speaker 1: throwing words out. I don't even know what they mean
Speaker 1: at this point. It's been a long week. Danny. I'm
Speaker 1: just I'm just randomly throwing different things out.
Speaker 4: I know you saved your best for TV. Now we're
Speaker 4: getting your sloppy leftovers. O.
Speaker 1: No, no, not at all, not at all, not at all.
Speaker 1: But but I did want to point out. You know
Speaker 1: there's a TV show. Did you know that Danny Today,
Speaker 1: Benny Versus the Penny. I've now made it seven weeks
Speaker 1: and they have not figured out that the show sucks,
Speaker 1: and I'm still doing the TV show.
Speaker 3: I have not heard about this show. Tell me more.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's it's a it's a new concept, so
Speaker 1: it's man versus Metal. No one's ever done this before
Speaker 1: on podcasts or radio. This is a totally original idea,
Speaker 1: first time we've ever done it. It's called Benny Verny.
Speaker 1: Isn't that a good name? Benny versus the Penny.
Speaker 4: The only thing I could think of that would be
Speaker 4: better is Danny Versus the Granny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, well that's a spinoff of that. And so yeah,
Speaker 1: it returns to cable television today. We make our debut
Speaker 1: same time slot, as long as the Celtics don't play
Speaker 1: on Friday. I think next week they actually start playing
Speaker 1: on Friday, So god only knows when the show is
Speaker 1: going to be on in Boston, but our hub is
Speaker 1: NBC Sports Boston, but it's on all of the NBC
Speaker 1: owned and operated regional cable networks. But it'll be on
Speaker 1: tonight at seven thirty Eastern, and you can check that out.
Speaker 1: Also Beyon in Chicago at ten o'clock. In Philadelphia at
Speaker 1: six point thirty. The second showing of Benny Versus the
Speaker 1: Penny though preempted for Phillies postgame coverage after the NLCS game,
Speaker 1: so I'm upset with the Phillies on that. And it's
Speaker 1: on a bunch of other places on in La Spectrum. Sportsnet,
Speaker 1: so Cal Lakers, you don't need to point that out.
Speaker 1: Also Sportsnet in New York. We've been pretty consistent there.
Speaker 1: I've not checked the schedule, but normally Sunday mornings at
Speaker 1: eleven thirty, so just when you get back from church
Speaker 1: you can go and turn on turn on Benny Versus
Speaker 1: the Penny and get old gambling jokes. Anyway, so check
Speaker 1: your local listenings. Is attributed by NBC. But I am
Speaker 1: excited about that and it was fun. We did the
Speaker 1: show yesterday and I've not watched it yet. They do
Speaker 1: send me a link so I can watch it. I
Speaker 1: have not been able to watch it yet, so we'll
Speaker 1: check that out at some point. But he was pretty good,
Speaker 1: so we'll see.
Speaker 4: And Boston, being the hub of the show, must explain
Speaker 4: why you picked the lowly Patriots to beat My Raiders
Speaker 4: last weekend.
Speaker 1: Well, and then we point out that that was a
Speaker 1: great pick right up until mac Jones decided to take
Speaker 1: a safety for some godsaken reason at the end because
Speaker 1: the they were getting three Your Raiders edding the three,
Speaker 1: and it was a two point game, if you remember.
Speaker 3: And if your aunt had nuts, she'd be your uncle.
Speaker 1: Well, it's twenty twenty three. I think every that's true everywhere,
Speaker 1: Danny in twenty twenty three. With that anyway, on this
Speaker 1: edition of the Fifth Hour, we've got Viva Las Vegas
Speaker 1: meets Paul Harvey, the malor melody, the word of the
Speaker 1: week or is it a phrase of the week, and
Speaker 1: whatever else we have time for, but we'll start with this.
Speaker 1: So the past weekend. This past weekend was crazy, right,
Speaker 1: an event I had to go to Vegas for with
Speaker 1: the family, and so it was quite the adventure. We
Speaker 1: did the podcast on Friday morning. I've been up all
Speaker 1: night we do this podcast. I'm up all night. We
Speaker 1: do the podcast. I do the radio show, as you know, Danny,
Speaker 1: and then I do the podcast, and then you have
Speaker 1: to go and you do your day starts with Covino
Speaker 1: and Rich, but you do the podcast first. So anyway,
Speaker 1: we did the show together. I took a two hour nap.
Speaker 1: We then packed up the station wagon and made the
Speaker 1: trip through the California desert to the tip of Nevada
Speaker 1: there in Vegas and it was a total whirlwind. So fortunately,
Speaker 1: my wife did the drive, and she does not like
Speaker 1: to drive long trips like this, but normally I'm the
Speaker 1: one that did it. But we figured we did a
Speaker 1: cost benefit analysis and we determined that I likely would
Speaker 1: have fallen asleep somewhere in Apple Valley if if I
Speaker 1: had driven. So I tried to sleep in the car.
Speaker 1: Didn't go well. I'm not a car sleep maybe one
Speaker 1: as a baby. I don't know, my mom's not right,
Speaker 1: but I don't sleep well eat in bed, so I'm
Speaker 1: certainly not going to sleep well in cars. So I
Speaker 1: tried to sleep in this sunny out and there's noise.
Speaker 1: I could not sleep. My wife even tried to help
Speaker 1: me out because she played a really boring podcast of
Speaker 1: some doctor giving spench jargon, which I thought was going
Speaker 1: to cause me to fall asleep. But that just made
Speaker 1: me upset. That's just annoyed me. So I was fuxing
Speaker 1: around with my phone, and then that annoyed my wife. Right,
Speaker 1: she wanted to be uh and I'm sure you hear
Speaker 1: this all the time. Then you've got to be present, right,
Speaker 1: you want to be present, and you know, I didn't
Speaker 1: really feel like being president. But anyway, I got off
Speaker 1: my phone. So we stopped in Barstow, which is halfway.
Speaker 1: That's the halfway point between La and Invade you go.
Speaker 1: It's the stops are if I'm remember correctly, Dan, I
Speaker 1: just did the trip, So you stop. Usually fly you're
Speaker 1: a big shot, but I drive. I like drive, So
Speaker 1: you stop. First stop is like Apple Valley, that America,
Speaker 1: and then that's a that's a twenty five percent mark,
Speaker 1: and then fifty Barstow, and then seventy five percent is
Speaker 1: like Baker where the Maggi is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Starbucks there in the Apple Valley. That's a big
Speaker 4: stop off the fifteen freeway. You see all all kinds
Speaker 4: of people in the Starbucks drive through and inside waiting
Speaker 4: in a big, long line.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that that whole area. They have every
Speaker 1: chain fast food restaurant or quick service restaurant you could
Speaker 1: possibly want in Apple Valley. It is, and they're all
Speaker 1: right near the freeway. Yeah, you know, I think it's
Speaker 1: actually victor Will because Apple Valley is a little bit
Speaker 1: at off the freeway. They call it Apple Valley Victorville.
Speaker 3: Right, I guess the town is Victorville.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the one that's right near the freeway, and
Speaker 1: then Apple Valley's a little further down. I've been to
Speaker 1: Apple Valley before. They have the ugliest street signs in America,
Speaker 1: the Apple Valley streets. I think I'm going to mention
Speaker 1: this with you on the podcast, but they're they're orange
Speaker 1: and brown, which is really I mean, if of all
Speaker 1: the color combinations to pick. Anyway, made the trip, we
Speaker 1: stopped in Barstow. Now most people from LA that go
Speaker 1: to Vegas that the most popular place is in Barstow.
Speaker 1: There's a a mall ess not really a mall. It's
Speaker 1: like a train another thing we've talked about it like
Speaker 1: a train thing. There's like a yeah, the Del Taco,
Speaker 1: there's a what Chinese restaurants in there, fast food, Panda Express, right,
Speaker 1: there's a Panic bandy, so that's popular. And then the
Speaker 1: other place that's popular is the Del Taco.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the og Del Taco Del Taco.
Speaker 1: And so we were debating a road trip rare and appropriate.
Speaker 1: You can eat two meals, You're not going to die.
Speaker 1: So they cut the fasting a little short. So I
Speaker 1: was like, I'll eat lunch whatever. So we were going
Speaker 1: to go to Taco Bell, but my wife's like, you know,
Speaker 1: or Del Taco rather. I see Taco bellt Del Taco,
Speaker 1: and you didn't really like it. So we decided she compromised.
Speaker 1: You knew that I like a certain but so we
Speaker 1: we went to an authentic California restaurant, Fried Chicken for
Speaker 1: the wind Raising Canes. There's a Raising Canes now in
Speaker 1: Barstow that I don't remember being there.
Speaker 3: What.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a Raising Canes right off the freeway right there. Yeah. Great,
Speaker 1: went in there, had some chicken, got back on the road,
Speaker 1: drive through Baker drive through. My favorite point on the
Speaker 1: trip is right after Baker Zyazik's road love that it's
Speaker 1: a great stop. So make make our way and I'm
Speaker 1: trying to beat the clock, but I'm trying to get
Speaker 1: my wife to beat the clock because I want to
Speaker 1: get some bets in. But the timing of it, we
Speaker 1: stopped a couple of times. The game start at four
Speaker 1: o'clock California time. The East Coast games that are seven
Speaker 1: o'clock start at four o'clock, so we was trying to
Speaker 1: get there by four o'clock. And I got the prim
Speaker 1: and very depressing dad, because I love that mall. I
Speaker 1: think that was more. I mean, it is massive mall
Speaker 1: out in the middle of nowhere, right next to Well.
Speaker 1: It was across from Buffalo Bills Is on one side.
Speaker 1: You got Whiskey Peetez across the freeway, and there was
Speaker 1: a third hotel and the third hotel had a sports
Speaker 1: book in it. It was connected to the mall, so
Speaker 1: you stay at that hotel. Then you can walk through
Speaker 1: the mall and do some shopping. And the mall, I
Speaker 1: think there's like two stores open. It's a ghost mall.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's so sad. We've talked about that mall before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's just every time I go out there,
Speaker 1: it's like, this is crazy, like this, I don't remember
Speaker 1: anything like this happening in my life. Where somewhere I
Speaker 1: used to go and enjoy and had great memories, and
Speaker 1: it's now pretty much gone. It's like barely there. The
Speaker 1: whole point of the stop was to go to the
Speaker 1: sports book. Well, I went to the hotel where the
Speaker 1: sports book was. The hotel's not there anymore. It's still there,
Speaker 1: but it's closed. They closed the hotel. Prim Valley Resorts
Speaker 1: is what it was called, not there anymore. So then
Speaker 1: there's a sign saying, well, there's a sports book at
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. So I'm like, all right, Buffalo Bills is
Speaker 1: across the parking lots. So I'll get in the our
Speaker 1: drive across the parking lot to Buffalo Bills. I'll go
Speaker 1: into Buffalo Bills. I'll find the sports book. I'll put
Speaker 1: a bet down, no problem. But in the hull of
Speaker 1: Balloo to go from the Prim Valley Resorts to Buffalo Bills,
Speaker 1: I ended up missing my window because I walked into
Speaker 1: the sports book. I did make it in the sports
Speaker 1: book five minutes before I needed to put my bet in.
Speaker 1: There was a line of people at the window and
Speaker 1: the guy that was taking the bets, the guy right
Speaker 1: in the tickets at the gambling window, was about as
Speaker 1: slow as you can possibly be. He was in no hurry,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if I should feel bad for
Speaker 1: the guy or punch the guy, but he was really
Speaker 1: as slow as could be, and it was very, very upsetting.
Speaker 1: So that pissed me off. So then I got back
Speaker 1: in the car with the wife and we motored on
Speaker 1: back in the Malamobile to Vegas. Arrived in Old Vegas,
Speaker 1: Downtown Vegas, free Mont Street Circa. My wife had booked
Speaker 1: the room at Circa, and she knew that they have
Speaker 1: the top sports book in Vegas by most discerning customers.
Speaker 1: It's my favorite sports book that I've been It's crazy,
Speaker 1: it's insane in there. So I walked in and I
Speaker 1: told my wife. I said, listen, I don't like to
Speaker 1: spend a lot of money on hotel. If I went
Speaker 1: by myself, i'd stay at like the Palace Station or
Speaker 1: Circus Circus because they're like, you know, fifty bucks a
Speaker 1: night or something like that. But but she's like, she
Speaker 1: she's oppoue. She likes to spend a lot of money
Speaker 1: on hotel. But she told me, listen, we're only going
Speaker 1: for like one night. It's just going to be not
Speaker 1: that expensive.
Speaker 3: No one.
Speaker 1: So some of you have seen this. I did post
Speaker 1: a video on Instagram last weekend and it showed the
Speaker 1: room that we stayed in, and we ended up in
Speaker 1: the Penthouse at the Circa Hotel and Casino there in Vegas.
Speaker 1: And immediately, of course, people sent me messages, Danny. They're
Speaker 1: like claiming that this was some kind of TV thing
Speaker 1: because I'm doing the TV show now with NBC and
Speaker 1: there's like they hooked me up because of that. Not true.
Speaker 1: People were saying, well, it must be the radios know
Speaker 1: that that thing that I got, the sweetheart deal and
Speaker 1: all that. So now entering the chat, the ghost of
Speaker 1: Paul Harvey, Good Day Radio legend, so you know, as
Speaker 1: he used to say, you know what the news is, Danny,
Speaker 1: But in a minute, you're going to hear the rest
Speaker 1: of the story. And that's where we play commercials.
Speaker 4: Right here, the news headline is Ben Mallard would never
Speaker 4: spend more than eighty nine to ninety nine on a
Speaker 4: hotel room.
Speaker 1: Oh god, no, no, absolutely not. The whole point of
Speaker 1: traveling is not to be in the hotel, and the
Speaker 1: point of traveling is to go out and do things,
Speaker 1: So it doesn't really matter where you stay. It's about
Speaker 1: what you're doing, the experiences. The kids say these days,
Speaker 1: right Dan, It's all about the experience.
Speaker 3: Unless you're concerned about bed bugs.
Speaker 1: Well that's part of it. So anyway, so all right,
Speaker 1: we end up in the penance. So now for the
Speaker 1: rest of the story. Got this amazing situation. And I
Speaker 1: want you to know right now, hand to guy, Okay,
Speaker 1: hand to guy, this had zero to do with the
Speaker 1: TV show. It had nothing to do with the radio show.
Speaker 1: It certainly had nothing to do with the podcast. When
Speaker 1: we got to Circuit. Here's what happened. I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: you the inside. So nobody else has this content, Danny,
Speaker 1: not a single person. That's what I'm about to say.
Speaker 1: It's never been told before. What I'm about to say
Speaker 1: is a global exclusion.
Speaker 3: And Marcel tweeked this out immediately.
Speaker 1: Is going to break the internet. It is going to
Speaker 1: break the podcast where we're going to set a record
Speaker 1: for downloads, most downloads since Hector was a pupp It
Speaker 1: is going to be amazing. So here's what happened. We
Speaker 1: go to Cirque, been on the road all day driving.
Speaker 1: I have had two hours of sleep in the last
Speaker 1: forty eight hours. I'm a wreck, right, I'm a wreck.
Speaker 1: So we go into the hotel. Of course, my wife
Speaker 1: wants to Valet Park. I'm already in a bad mood
Speaker 1: there because I hate Valet parking. Ah, you know how
Speaker 1: I feel about Valet parking, Dan, I do not like
Speaker 1: Valet parking. It's running a marathon for twenty six miles
Speaker 1: and then with zero point two miles to go, handing
Speaker 1: the baton off to somebody else to finish the race
Speaker 1: just pisses me off. But she likes the Valet parks.
Speaker 1: Wee Valet park find whatever. That's compromise, you know, when
Speaker 1: you're married, Danny, I have to do that. I get
Speaker 1: I'm told, So we did it. I let her Valet
Speaker 1: Park whatever. So we get to the hotel. I go immediately.
Speaker 1: I make a bee line to the sports book because
Speaker 1: I want to put some bets in. I didn't get
Speaker 1: over in prim on the border. I didn't get my bets,
Speaker 1: so there were some other games starting. I want to
Speaker 1: get my bets. So I go to the sports book.
Speaker 1: My wife goes to the front desk to check in,
Speaker 1: and we're going to meet. After you know, she checks
Speaker 1: INU we'll go back. So she checks in and we
Speaker 1: meet right near the top of the sports book. If
Speaker 1: you've been to the circuit, it's a sunken sports book,
Speaker 1: really cool. It's got stadium style seating and TVs everywhere.
Speaker 1: It's wild and one side Brent Mussburger's TV channel. They
Speaker 1: have studios there so they do shows that anyway, So
Speaker 1: she checks in, we meet up and she says, uh,
Speaker 1: I think they gave us an upgrade. And no, no,
Speaker 1: it was not just an upgrade. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: It's like holy Canoli. This was insane to the membrane.
Speaker 1: It had again, nothing to do with the TV show,
Speaker 1: radio show, of the podcast. I wasn't even there when
Speaker 1: my wife checked in. I don't know what was said.
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. Maybe it was just the charm.
Speaker 3: Did they recognize the last name?
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I wasn't even there. All I
Speaker 1: know is she handed me the key to the hotel.
Speaker 1: She said, that's on the It's on the fifty third
Speaker 1: floor and it was like the presidential Suite or something.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what the hell it was, but
Speaker 1: it had views of the skyline. I felt like I
Speaker 1: was like Snoop Dog or something. It was full bar, kitchen,
Speaker 1: living room, master bedroom, huge bathroom. I have lived in
Speaker 1: multiple apartments before I moved to the Malor Mansions. None
Speaker 1: of those apartments, none of the houses I've lived in,
Speaker 1: have been as nice as this apartment was. Insane and
Speaker 1: it was a blessing and a curse. It was a
Speaker 1: double edged sword, though, Danny, because it was such a
Speaker 1: good room, I didn't want to leave it. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm only here for one night. This is VIP status.
Speaker 1: This is like thousands of dollars for this room to stay.
Speaker 4: This is the situation where you bring the hookers in
Speaker 4: cocaine to the room.
Speaker 1: You call out for Yeah, can I have those delivered? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I know there's uber eats, is there is there a
Speaker 1: drug he eats and co you know, and stripper eats
Speaker 1: and I don't know. A bunch of hookers and cocaine.
Speaker 1: Place was just amazing. I'll likely never be in that
Speaker 1: room ever again, or a room like that ever again.
Speaker 1: The next closest hotel I ever stayed at that was
Speaker 1: as nice as that was. We did a This was
Speaker 1: actually for the radio show. We did some radio shows
Speaker 1: from the Aria when they opened up. The Aria just
Speaker 1: after that the hotel casino there and on the strip,
Speaker 1: and they gave us the sky suites, which was amazing
Speaker 1: at the Aria and that was that was wonderful. So
Speaker 1: anyway to channel another dead sportscaster or newscaster, Walter Cronkite.
Speaker 1: And that's the way it is as far as the
Speaker 1: the hotel room. So that's the story I did. I
Speaker 1: didn't really want to post the video. My wife's like,
Speaker 1: you should post it. Maybe they'll give us the room
Speaker 1: every time. I'm like, I was so weird about that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But whatever, I did it. So there
Speaker 1: you go. We have a Mallor Melody.
Speaker 3: Danny.
Speaker 1: We have a mallor Melody. How exciting is that? I
Speaker 1: don't try to hold your excitement, Danny. Try We go
Speaker 1: down to Dateline in Virginia. Headline from Richmond, Virginia. Joe

Speaker 1: and it's a it's a parody tune, and he would
Speaker 1: like it to debut here on the fifth hour. So

Speaker 1: Walter Cronkite, now Casey Casem. Three dead people in a podcast.
Speaker 1: All right, So here's here's what Casey would say.

Speaker 1: we know it. The mal or militia song.
Speaker 5: Can't keep up our eight in the negative numbers picture
Speaker 5: so fast they melt up folk, both of your contract
Speaker 5: in the strat his fear. Suddenly you find out a
Speaker 5: being jumps for a rookie out of double lake. I
Speaker 5: asked the guy why he played me a podcast where
Speaker 5: I learned I've been named in up in mail her monologue,
Speaker 5: I've been shaming up in mal her monologue, I'm ingraining
Speaker 5: up and mailer monologue, and I feel it. I'm the
Speaker 5: NFL's greatest football player Pro Bowlsoer Bowl and the NBP
Speaker 5: headed to the Hall of Fame, featured on Madden with
Speaker 5: the strongest stats of Andy Guy. Suddenly things started going
Speaker 5: in down. I was traded to the Cleveland Brows. I
Speaker 5: has to go try, but he wouldn't say so. I
Speaker 5: turned on the radio and heard the news. That's worse
Speaker 5: than being on the cover up, he asked.
Speaker 1: And wow, wow, thank you, Joe. That is that's that's intense.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of work.
Speaker 3: Number one with a bullet.
Speaker 1: Well, I liked. I love the effort. To me, I'm
Speaker 1: an effort guy. I'm an effort guy. I like the effort.

Speaker 1: Sure about that. No, it was cool. Thank you, Joe.
Speaker 1: I do appreciate it, and we'll have to work that
Speaker 1: into the regular radio show. I know you you sent
Speaker 1: that special for the podcast. I'm sure the boys Eddie
Speaker 1: and Coop and Iowa Sam will appreciate that, unless unless
Speaker 1: they don't.
Speaker 4: I am sure, Iowa Sam will play a third of
Speaker 4: what we just played, so expect to hear eight seconds
Speaker 4: of that on your live radio show.
Speaker 1: You think he'll gong the song? You think you'll I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 3: He's got an eclectic music taste.
Speaker 4: Iowa Sam does, so he might be doing like a
Speaker 4: white man wedding recital dance to it for all we know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it blows me away. How many people get annoyed
Speaker 1: because Iowa Sam, As you said, he's got an eclectic
Speaker 1: taste in music, much different than Roberto's taste in music.
Speaker 1: And I've gotten on my soapbox and I have delivered
Speaker 1: sermons over the years from microphones. I just don't understand
Speaker 1: if you're listening to spoken word radio, how passionate eight percentage?
Speaker 1: And I don't know what percentage it is, Nanny, I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's one percent or fifty percent or
Speaker 1: seventy five percent, But there's percentage of people that are
Speaker 1: so affected by the bumper music. I mean, yeah, and
Speaker 1: you're a big music guy, were you're an old DJ,
Speaker 1: so I yes, your world. But to me, the people
Speaker 1: that listen that are like really offended. Because I was
Speaker 1: getting complaints because Iowa Sam doesn't play a lot of
Speaker 1: rap music, so then I played I told Iowa Sam,
Speaker 1: So then of course he got defensive and started playing
Speaker 1: more rap music. But it was like kind of weird
Speaker 1: rap music.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Iowa Sam doesn't know anything about rap music, so
Speaker 4: that's where your producer would need to come in and help.
Speaker 3: But unfortunately Justin Cooper.
Speaker 4: Doesn't know a lot about rap music either, so you're
Speaker 4: a little bit of a weird position with.
Speaker 3: That, Like that's not really his thing.
Speaker 4: I think Iowa Sam's strength is playing funny drops music. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't know, but like you said, Ben, for you
Speaker 4: for your show, you have enough fun content, but on
Speaker 4: other shows kind of like a full package where that
Speaker 4: really good music ties everything together.
Speaker 1: No, I got it, And I don't. People think I
Speaker 1: hate music. I don't. I listen to music. I listened
Speaker 1: to classical music when I'm getting ready for work because
Speaker 1: it calms me down, it keeps me focused. Allegedly, I
Speaker 1: don't even know if that's true. So I like the
Speaker 1: kind of music that Inca Terror provides. I'm a fan
Speaker 1: of that. But then when I'm driving around, I try
Speaker 1: not to consume too much sports radio because I don't
Speaker 1: want to repeat what other people do. I want my
Speaker 1: original shtick, and if I listen to other people. We've
Speaker 1: been through this as well, Danny. We've talked about this
Speaker 1: many times. For me, I sometimes, even unintentionally, if I
Speaker 1: listen to Covino and Rich, I'll hear some funny thing
Speaker 1: that those guys are you you were doing, and I'll
Speaker 1: be like, I won't even think that I'm going to
Speaker 1: repeat it, But then in the back of my head
Speaker 1: I'll end up doing something similar or And I don't
Speaker 1: want to no disrespect to anybody. I just don't want
Speaker 1: to do that. I want to do my own stuff,
Speaker 1: Like if I go down in flames, I want to
Speaker 1: be the one point gasoline on the microphone.
Speaker 4: Right, well, you do a pretty good job of that,
Speaker 4: thank you.
Speaker 3: This is true. Right you have never purchased a song
Speaker 3: on iTunes before?
Speaker 1: Well, but not by choice. My lovely one wife, who
Speaker 1: you know very well, she did make me years ago.
Speaker 1: I love Johnny Cash. So I did purchase a bunch
Speaker 1: of Johnny Cash, old Johnny Cash songs. Okay, yeah, so
Speaker 1: like classics like the Top you know Everywhere man, that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, you know, the ring of Fire, all
Speaker 1: those things. I mean I have pretty much every stuff
Speaker 1: I don't even like from Johnny.
Speaker 4: Cay And I think you guys could kind of turn
Speaker 4: it into a bit where maybe once an hour he
Speaker 4: plays a request from a listener.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was saying about that. I think we could
Speaker 1: have people email in, you know, songs.
Speaker 4: I mean, he can't be too snarky about what people want.
Speaker 3: You got to give people what they want.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The customers is always bite until they want you
Speaker 1: to get canceled and they're not right anymore. And that's
Speaker 1: how we work. We have the word of the week.
Speaker 1: Are you ready for the word of the week?
Speaker 3: Is this a word or a phrase?
Speaker 1: A phrase of the week? Fred phrase of the week?
Speaker 1: All right? It is a phrase that is perfect for
Speaker 1: this show, for this show, and for what we do
Speaker 1: for a living, our path in this crazy world. The
Speaker 1: phrase is hot air. Hot air is the phrase of
Speaker 1: the week. It's an idiom hot air. It actually did
Speaker 1: not originate from a gazillion years now, gazillion years ago.
Speaker 1: I would assume that hot air has been around since
Speaker 1: the beginning of air, right, I would assume that, like
Speaker 1: when there were Neanderthals walking around the earth and cave
Speaker 1: men and women that they they had hot air. But
Speaker 1: the term, the term as we use it today, originated
Speaker 1: around the eighteen fifties. It popped into what was considered
Speaker 1: then the modern lexicon on this thing called a novel
Speaker 1: The Gilded Age, a novel by someone named Mark Twain,
Speaker 1: kind of a big of My dad loved Mark Twain
Speaker 1: and Charles Dudley Warner. Now that book was published in
Speaker 1: eighteen seventy three, so there worn't originated like in the
Speaker 1: eighteen fifties. But it wasn't until eighteen seventy three in
Speaker 1: The Gilded Age that the term hot air was written
Speaker 1: by Twain. They wrote that the Arius schemes inflated the
Speaker 1: capitals the capital's hot air. And that is one of
Speaker 1: the reasons that many politicians, they used the phrase hot
Speaker 1: air in terms of talking about politicians that obviously it
Speaker 1: refers to someone who is very verbose, does not believe
Speaker 1: in brevity. They talk NonStop, people that breathe out hot air.
Speaker 1: Kind obvious on that. And the other way to look
Speaker 1: at it would be like a hot air balloon that
Speaker 1: the fire in the middle of the basket below the
Speaker 1: balloon heats the air inside the balloon, causing it to
Speaker 1: expand and it's simple science. The air is lighter the
Speaker 1: air surrounding it, and then the air surrounding it in
Speaker 1: the end, so the balloon inflates and rises and all that.
Speaker 3: So the so is gas bag a spinoff?
Speaker 1: Well that's not this week's word of the week, but
Speaker 1: if you want it to be next week's ward of
Speaker 1: the week, we can make it next week's word of
Speaker 1: the week.
Speaker 3: But yes, I was inspired by this gas baggery.
Speaker 1: It makes sense that that would be inspired by that,
Speaker 1: but I'd have to I think I have used gas
Speaker 1: baggery as the phrase. I haven't done that in a
Speaker 1: long time though, So anyway, Friends of the Week, Hot Air.
Speaker 1: It is Friday, Danny. I've got the TV show today,
Speaker 1: obviously this podcast, which you've already listened to. God bless you.

Speaker 1: person if you watch the TV show, because I kind
Speaker 1: of want to another year of the TV show. So
Speaker 1: nobody watches it. I think that's a bad sign. But
Speaker 1: what do I know? So I got that, I'll check
Speaker 1: your local What do you tell me to say, Danny,
Speaker 1: check your local TV listings?
