Speaker 1: Cut booms.
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 sol 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: It's a clearing house of hot takes. Break free for
Speaker 2: something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere.
Speaker 3: The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben Maler and Danny g
Speaker 3: Radio A Happy Friday to you the day after the
Speaker 3: big holiday, the Christmas Holiday. Why am I doing this podcast?
Speaker 3: I am away from the radio. I'll tell you why.
Speaker 3: I'm a glutton for punishment. And a podcast is much
Speaker 3: easier than a four hour radio show. A podcast is
Speaker 3: twenty five or thirty minutes and that's it, and you
Speaker 3: can do it whenever you want to explain this to people.
Speaker 3: I have friends of mine that are doing podcasts and
Speaker 3: some of them never did radio, and I try to
Speaker 3: point out.
Speaker 1: That is it a brag? I guess it's a brag.
Speaker 3: I just the live radio show is a much bigger
Speaker 3: endeavor than a podcast. People get offended by that. Just
Speaker 3: the reality of the situation. Nonetheless, it is Boxing Day today,
Speaker 3: and so I figured what better way to celebrate Boxing
Speaker 3: Day than to do this podcast. And really, every day
Speaker 3: is Boxing Day at the Malor Mansion. My wife is
Speaker 3: now pretty much one hundred percent an online shopper, and
Speaker 3: that's it just more convenient, and we have box after
Speaker 3: box after box after box, so many boxes. Every day
Speaker 3: is Boxing Day. It's time to hop on the bully
Speaker 3: pulpit because there's a thing happening in the NFL every
Speaker 3: December that drives me absolutely be as. Now I've got
Speaker 3: on this podcast. We've got camel and tuned into PPS.
Speaker 3: Now this is my age old pet people. We're gonna
Speaker 3: start with this and it's a pretty good jumping up point.
Speaker 3: You've probably seen. Back in the day, there was a
Speaker 3: channel called QVC. My problem is QGC, not QVC. My
Speaker 3: problem is QGC as in quarterbacks, gifts cameras. It is
Speaker 3: everywhere this time of the year, throwing lights in action
Speaker 3: if you want. It's the annual look at me, I'm generous.
Speaker 3: I have a lot of money, I buy really nice gifts.
Speaker 1: But it's look at me, I'm generous.
Speaker 3: The Bowl sponsored by Ring Lights and brand managers from
Speaker 3: c They're shining Sea. Every quarterback in the league turns
Speaker 3: into Santa Claus old Saint Nick. But not the small Santa,
Speaker 3: the kind that you see at the mall or when
Speaker 3: I was sitting my fat ass on the back of
Speaker 3: a fire truck. Not the bad Santa image of the
Speaker 3: cigarette bray, the depressed, down on their luck, smell like regret,
Speaker 3: have sad cup of coffee in their hand. Not that
Speaker 3: this is Santa with the PR department. This is Santa
Speaker 3: with a social media coordinator. It is Santa with a
Speaker 3: three point lighting setup and a boom bike covering like
Speaker 3: it's an episode they're filming of Hard Knocks, the c
Speaker 3: SE edition Community Service Edition. Ho ho smash that like button. Now,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you right now. I fully blame my
Speaker 3: dearly departed parents. They raised me on the radical, absolutely
Speaker 3: radical idea that true charity should be anonymous, and I
Speaker 3: blame them. That is, if you're doing something nice and
Speaker 3: immediately have to tell everyone about it, maybe that's a
Speaker 3: weasel word. You're not doing it for the right reasons, dumb,
Speaker 3: dumb your jackwagon. Now, real generosity is doing something nice
Speaker 3: for someone who will never find out. Not doing it
Speaker 3: because you want to get likes on Facebook or a
Speaker 3: bunch of views on TikTok, not for Instagram validation, just
Speaker 3: because it's the right thing to do.
Speaker 1: God forbid.
Speaker 3: How will people know that you're a good person if
Speaker 3: you don't tell them, You have to show them.
Speaker 1: It's a sickness. This is empty social media friendly generosity.
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: It's philanthropathy that boosts the giver's social capital more than
Speaker 3: the cause itself. It's not PBS, it's PPS. We're all
Speaker 3: tuned into PPS. That's performative philanthropic syndrome. These charity events
Speaker 3: have better production. I'm telling you, better pressure value than
Speaker 3: half the stuff Netflix screen lights.
Speaker 1: I've always hey this.
Speaker 3: I remember when I first got on the media business
Speaker 3: and I was on the email list for all the
Speaker 3: teams in in LA, and I remember the Lakers would
Speaker 3: send out a press release this goes back to like
Speaker 3: the nineties, and they'd be like Nick van Exel's handing
Speaker 3: out turkeys at the shelter. He'll be there from two
Speaker 3: to two thirty photo op and then he'll do a
Speaker 3: ten minute of media availability after that. And they said
Speaker 3: this out, I mean all the teams do it. I
Speaker 3: just mentioned Lakers, but they all did it because they
Speaker 3: wanted to get on the eleven o'clock news back when
Speaker 3: people watch the news. Of course, now that's been taken
Speaker 3: to the next level. We're at the point where quarterback
Speaker 3: gift reveal, which goes on all of us. It looks
Speaker 3: like a gender reveal party for a Lamborghini QB number
Speaker 3: one playing Santa is not new, all right, it's not new.
Speaker 3: This has been around for generations. Literally, it used to
Speaker 3: be quiet, it used to be subtle. It did it
Speaker 3: was under the radar. Is it true that Joe Montana
Speaker 3: is credited as the innovator In the nineteen eighties, he
Speaker 3: gave his forty nine er offensive lineman Rolex watches.
Speaker 1: I was back in the late eighties early nineties. There
Speaker 1: were no.
Speaker 3: Cameras, there was no hashtags, couldn't be There was no
Speaker 3: makeup chair.
Speaker 1: They didn't have a sound guy.
Speaker 3: Just hey, big fella, thanks for keeping me alive and
Speaker 3: helping the Niners win the Super Bowl. Here's a nice
Speaker 3: expensive watch. Now Montana was doing charity like a mob boss.
Speaker 3: Here's your envelope. Just nod walk away.
Speaker 1: That's it. Manila envelope, nod walk away. That's all.
Speaker 3: Then came the person who is believed to be Patient zero,
Speaker 3: Dan the man Dan Marino, Dolphin's legend from the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 3: He was Patient zero, the invasive species, the man who
Speaker 3: turned gratitude into attitude and an advertised campaign. And if
Speaker 3: you're old that you know of those iconic Isotona glove commercials.
Speaker 3: I give them to protect the hands that protect me.
Speaker 3: Boom goes to dynamite and now we're selling gloves and
Speaker 3: virtue and you can thank number thirteen in your teal
Speaker 3: dolphin uniform, Dan Marino. That was the moment that charity
Speaker 3: jumped the shark right there, Boom, Shaka laka, or put
Speaker 3: the shark in branded gloves if you want.
Speaker 1: Since then, we have literally witnessed.
Speaker 3: In my lifetime in arms race, not arms, watches, cars, bikes, swords.
Speaker 1: We're talking cutlery, actual medieval weaponry.
Speaker 3: Quarterbacks one upping each other like it's a pissing contest,
Speaker 3: and it's like they're yacht owners elbowing each other at
Speaker 3: Monaco Happy Hour. I'll see your rolex and raise you
Speaker 3: a Toyota Tacoma. What so here as we wind down,
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, we reached full absurdity. Brock Party Brock Perty,
Speaker 3: the forty nine er quarterback who I believe is a
Speaker 3: brand ambassador for Toyota handing out trucks now. Last year
Speaker 3: he handed out a bunch of cars to his teammates.
Speaker 3: This year it's families in Need, which is genuinely kind.
Speaker 3: I'm not here to say that that's not kind. It's
Speaker 3: also filmed, edited, packaged, released in a neat bow with
Speaker 3: background music that sounds like a pharmaceutical commercial. Just have
Speaker 3: to add to tagline. Ask your doctor if generosity is
Speaker 3: right for you. Josh Allen gave the Bills offensive line
Speaker 3: a quarter of a cow.
Speaker 1: We talked about that.
Speaker 3: Spaccoli said, that's one hundred to one hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: pounds of meat. Still, why not just buy the whole cow?
Speaker 3: Why only a quarter? I bought a cow, or just
Speaker 3: say you bought a cow. It's not a gift, it's
Speaker 3: it's a ranch. Just give the person the ranch. That's
Speaker 3: not a stocking stuffer. By the way, that's some kind
Speaker 3: of agriculture policy. I don't know what it is, but
Speaker 3: that cow has more job security than the most NFL
Speaker 3: running backs, and we know where that cow is getting
Speaker 3: end up. Jared Goff of course had to announce it.
Speaker 3: He gave luxury golf carts to his buddies. There Aaron
Speaker 3: Rodgers of the Steelers gave out some kind of luxury
Speaker 3: off road vehicle. So nothing says thanks for protecting me,
Speaker 3: like a vehicle like that. That golf cart thing like
Speaker 3: a vehicle. You use that to walk, you know, to
Speaker 3: save twelve steps. I'm going to take my golf cart.
Speaker 3: I do love the visual, though offensive linemen for the
Speaker 3: Lions riding around like their retired Florida snowbirds in their
Speaker 3: golf cart on some little island off the coast of Florida.
Speaker 3: And then there's Patrick Mahomes, who what a humdinger, Good
Speaker 3: old Patrick Mahomes. Here Mahomes went full black Friday at
Speaker 3: the Mall of America. Luxury watches were with more than
Speaker 3: some people's homes, e bikes, indoor golf simulators, headphones, AI, sunglasses,
Speaker 3: I'm not done suitcases. It looked like the prize table
Speaker 3: backstage at the price is right, we can bring back
Speaker 3: Bob Barker and it's like he had a Super Bowl
Speaker 3: ring or something like that. But everyone pretends that this
Speaker 3: is about gratitude and not about branding. And this is
Speaker 3: another one of those parts of the story that makes
Speaker 3: me a little.
Speaker 1: Itchy and scratchy.
Speaker 3: Itchy and scratchy, because none of this, none of these things,
Speaker 3: is really for the linemen. They're already rich, they can
Speaker 3: buy whatever they want, they're already set. This is not
Speaker 3: back in the old days in the NFL when guys
Speaker 3: had jobs in the off season. They're already driving nicer cars.
Speaker 3: And I'll ever even put my nose in. This isn't generosity.
Speaker 3: It's pageantry. It's gratitude, kabuki theaters what it is. It's applause, farming,
Speaker 3: all of that. It's charity, wearing shoulder pads and yelling.
Speaker 3: Don't forget to tag me. If you want to do
Speaker 3: something meaningful, if you really do, and it's great, you
Speaker 3: should do that, do it quietly. Pay off someone's mortgage
Speaker 3: you got the money, help a family who will never
Speaker 3: know your name, write a check, and don't tell the internet.
Speaker 3: That's real generosity. It can be done, it was done
Speaker 3: for hundreds and hundreds of years.
Speaker 1: That's doing the right thing. When there's no scoreboard.
Speaker 3: That's how that's how you get it done instead, Well.
Speaker 1: What about the algorithm. I get rewarded by the algorithm.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't reward me with the algorithm. I want to
Speaker 1: be rewarded by the algorithm. That's the problem.
Speaker 3: We've turned kindness into content, compassion into a clip on
Speaker 3: the internet, a highlight reel. Every good deed needs a
Speaker 3: drone shot and a slow motion hug. Now, no one
Speaker 3: is more egregious in this department than Russell Wilson. Now
Speaker 3: Russ is no longer a starting quarterback, so I assume
Speaker 3: he doesn't have to worry about getting gifts. But Russ,
Speaker 3: he always had a camera crew.
Speaker 1: He used to go to the.
Speaker 3: Children's hospital all the time. And how do we know that?
Speaker 3: Because he always had a camera guy. He had a
Speaker 3: lighting guy, a sound guy, a makeup team.
Speaker 1: So it seemed, and.
Speaker 3: You want to do that, but you want people to
Speaker 3: hear about it because of word of mouth. Like Kobe
Speaker 3: Bryant when he died burned up in the helicopter crash,
Speaker 3: all these stories came out that Kobe would quietly go
Speaker 3: to hospitals around southern California and elsewhere to see kids.
Speaker 3: He did not have a camera crew. He didn't post
Speaker 3: about it on social media. Ninety five percent of the time,
Speaker 3: he just did it. It was a good deed that
Speaker 3: needed to be done. You didn't need to get a
Speaker 3: drone shot and a slow motion hug shot.
Speaker 1: You didn't need that.
Speaker 3: Santa Claus Force now has an agent. And look, I'm
Speaker 3: not saying. I'm not saying these quarterbacks are bad people.
Speaker 3: I'm not, and you can take me out of context
Speaker 3: if you want. They're not villains. They are just products
Speaker 3: of the zeitgeist of the times. This is the system
Speaker 3: that confuses attention with impact. And it's not just in sports,
Speaker 3: but we do a plausibly a sports show where it's
Speaker 3: where charity without witness doesn't count. These guys have been
Speaker 3: raised that way. I was raised differently. Who knows who's right.
Speaker 3: I believe I'm right they were raised. We're giving quietly
Speaker 3: feels like a missed opportunity in today's NFL. If a
Speaker 3: good deed happens and nobody posted, did it even happen?
Speaker 3: That's the silliness of this. Because generosity should not sound
Speaker 3: like a press conference. It shouldn't need graphics a chiron,
Speaker 3: it shouldn't trend. The best charity doesn't spike engagement, it
Speaker 3: changes lives in silence, less ring lights, and more heart.
Speaker 3: The loudest kindness is usually the emptiest and the real
Speaker 3: good stuff that happens off camera when no one's watching.
Speaker 3: We know we are in the minority, but that's just
Speaker 3: my position turning the page. So by request, several of
Speaker 3: you emailed me this week saying, can you tell me
Speaker 3: more about the party? I like the photos. We did
Speaker 3: post some photos. Thank you for liking the photos. A
Speaker 3: few of you took shots at me. That's fine, but
Speaker 3: we did post some photos on Instagram and Facebook, so
Speaker 3: check that out. But it was that time of the
Speaker 3: year when the calendar exhales, when the days feel like
Speaker 3: a jukebox stuck on nostalgia, and when grown adults convinced
Speaker 3: themselves that calories are merely a suggestion. We must celebrate
Speaker 3: good times. Come on now, gota celebrate. So as twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five wobbled towards the exit and just memory like
Speaker 3: a barb patron wobbling out who insists he's fine to drive,
Speaker 3: and we decided to throw a party now, not just
Speaker 3: any party, a rebrand because if you don't evolve, you fossilize,
Speaker 3: someone said somewhere along the way, and nobody. Nobody wants
Speaker 3: to be a pain in the tukis and be a
Speaker 3: dinosaur in an ugly sweater. So thus the malar ugly
Speaker 3: Sweater Christmas Party was officially retired to mothballs. Its number
Speaker 3: was raised to the rafters high above the garden, replaced
Speaker 3: by the Mallard Christmas pajama jam, which is a fancy
Speaker 3: way of saying, show up dressed like you've already given
Speaker 3: up on the day. Pajamas. Now I've seen kids today
Speaker 3: they go to school in pajamas. That was not allowed
Speaker 3: back in my day. Pajamas. If you want in pajamas,
Speaker 3: they'd send you home. Now they encourage it. Pajamas are honest.
Speaker 3: Pajamas tell the truth. Pajamas say I am here for comfort,
Speaker 3: not for your approval. Ugly sweaters were so twenty twenty
Speaker 3: four and before pajamas are the future soft forgiving the
Speaker 3: elastic waistband comfort when you eat too much. Leading up
Speaker 3: to last weekend, it was part already prep Central, which
Speaker 3: means activating Benny the Baker, a man who treats dessert
Speaker 3: like Michael Angelo treated marble. Benny the baker obsessed with baking.
Speaker 3: Now we went deep in the recipe bag, the one
Speaker 3: that has flour stains and emotional support. Butter turning the
Speaker 3: butter cookies in the air, ev or you wear homemade
Speaker 3: chocolate chip. We had sprinkles, the Christmas and Hankkah varieties,
Speaker 3: Honeka for the tribe, white chocolate, macadamia nut Mallard style.
Speaker 1: Those are my favorite.
Speaker 3: Blueberry blast cookies with real blueberries that looked innocent but
Speaker 3: packed a surprise, like a trick play on a third
Speaker 3: and short, the old hook and ladder, and the crown
Speaker 3: jewel of the cookie parade, the malar Oui gooey cinnamon
Speaker 3: roll cookie, which is essentially a cinnabn. It's basically cinnabon
Speaker 3: after grad school, little chunks of the middle part of
Speaker 3: the cinnamon.
Speaker 1: Role mixed in the cookie.
Speaker 3: And these weren't cookies so much as a baked philosophy
Speaker 3: chunks at just those matching those ooi gooey chunks of
Speaker 3: cinnamon role mixed right from the center.
Speaker 1: Man' is that good?
Speaker 3: That's not subtle, that's not apologetic, that's decadence with its
Speaker 3: chest out brownies followed, because sometimes you just need a
Speaker 3: classic rock song to balance the playlist, and there's nothing
Speaker 3: quite as classic then A big plate of delicious Giridelli
Speaker 3: brownies from Danny's family business, and just absolutely wonderful, just
Speaker 3: absolutely great. Now for the main food event, I did
Speaker 3: what any rational middle aged person would do.
Speaker 1: I left early.
Speaker 3: I hopped into the malamobile and went turbo time and
Speaker 3: drove until I reached the Holy Land, the mecca raising canes,
Speaker 3: ding ding ding, ding ding, And I returned in the
Speaker 3: malamobile with not one, not two, but three bags the
Speaker 3: size roughly, I don't want to be too dramatic here,
Speaker 3: the size of the state of Rhode Island, filled with
Speaker 3: chicken fingers, so pleasant and so plentiful, they made everyone smile.
Speaker 1: They actually required their own sensus. They were so big.
Speaker 3: And you know it's a big party when you're dusting
Speaker 3: off the credit card for hundreds of pieces of finger
Speaker 3: licking Sorry, KFC, this is finger licking chicken. Of course,
Speaker 3: it's chicken fingers. Now, Cane sauce flowed like a river
Speaker 3: of dreams. I'm pretty sure that they gave me a
Speaker 3: lifetime supply, or at least enough to survive a mild apocalypse.
Speaker 3: So if we have another pandemic, you all are on
Speaker 3: your own. You can go get your water, and you
Speaker 3: tore the paper and your little mask and knock yourself out.
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna enjoy my lifetime supply of Caine's Caniac sauce.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: My wife, meanwhile, she executed her signature move at these parties.
Speaker 1: The nacho bar. That's our fastball.
Speaker 3: That's the gas tortilla chip stacked as tall as the Himalayas,
Speaker 3: toppings everywhere, a choose your own adventure of melted cheese
Speaker 3: and optimism. Add in random snacks such as m and
Speaker 3: ms and pretzels orbiting the room like asteroids, and suddenly
Speaker 3: the house felt like a cruise ship.
Speaker 1: Now I've never actually been.
Speaker 3: On a cruise ship other than the Queen Mary, but
Speaker 3: in my head from those that have gone, they tell
Speaker 3: me that it's just gluttony.
Speaker 1: It's just gluttony, and so we had that.
Speaker 3: It was like a cruise ship buffet where discipline goes
Speaker 3: to die, goes to die. The alcohol situation, let's call
Speaker 3: it what it is. It was temptation island is what
Speaker 3: it was. You got whiskey to the right vocular the left.
Speaker 3: You got gin in the middle and bourbon in the air.
Speaker 3: Everywhere there was beer stacked like sandbags. In case there
Speaker 3: was a flash flood. You had mixers standing by like
Speaker 3: cranberry and orange for support.
Speaker 1: Of course.
Speaker 3: Now radio people those are my people, and law enforcement
Speaker 3: those are my wife's people.
Speaker 1: They don't just sip. They commit all.
Speaker 3: They go for it. Our party philosophy is simple. It's
Speaker 3: carved into the stone tablets, Eat, drink and be merry
Speaker 3: for tomorrow we may die. I still intermitte fast, even
Speaker 3: over the holidays.
Speaker 1: I do. I don't pause that. I still do it.
Speaker 3: However, I do believe in the mantra are aa mantra
Speaker 3: rare and appropriate. Rare and appropriate feasting isn't just allowed,
Speaker 3: it is encouraged.
Speaker 1: You gotta do it. It's like, you know, everyone's a babushka.
Speaker 3: You got to eat your finish your food, finish your
Speaker 3: enjoy life before the pearly gates start checking ideas. All
Speaker 3: right now, the guest list was a beautiful melting pot,
Speaker 3: not cheese fondue.
Speaker 1: Not cheese fondu. Something better, something better.
Speaker 3: We've had a bunch of different eras of my career
Speaker 3: been at Fox Sports, radio for over twenty five years,
Speaker 3: and all of these different eras of Fox Sports Radio
Speaker 3: blending together like a playlist on shot.
Speaker 1: You had the radio lifers like me.
Speaker 3: You had people that are no longer in radio, that
Speaker 3: used to be in radio, people that did their time,
Speaker 3: are retired now old friends, relatively new friends. People who
Speaker 3: I've done shows with, people I've never did shows with,
Speaker 3: people who I've shared studios. As I said, microphones, dead air, cockroaches,
Speaker 3: parachuting down, parachuting down from the ceiling. One of the
Speaker 3: highlights was Bobo on the radio, who drove from what
Speaker 3: felt like a million miles away. I haven't seen Bobo
Speaker 3: in a while, despite having a newborn baby a at home. Now,
Speaker 3: let me tell you something. I want to bring this up.
Speaker 3: That's commitment. Most people have kids. I'm convinced specifically to
Speaker 3: avoid parties. I would do it too. It's the nuclear option,
Speaker 3: It's the get out of party free clause. And Bobo
Speaker 3: went above that. I remember Larry David on Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Speaker 3: It is that famous things that you can't question the
Speaker 3: kid card, right, Oh, I have a kid, can't go
Speaker 3: to the party, right, And so for Bobo to have
Speaker 3: that in his pocket and I don't even see him
Speaker 3: on a day I don't work with any and for
Speaker 3: him not to play it Hall of Fame Bobo on
Speaker 3: the radio Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: Seriously, I was like, so cool.
Speaker 3: So many people I know that I can't go, I
Speaker 3: got a kid, whatever, and I'm like, what.
Speaker 1: I'm fine, But here's Bubba's I want to go. I
Speaker 1: want to hang out.
Speaker 3: So the competitive peak of the night came courtesy of
Speaker 3: a game called Left Right Center. I've talked about it before.
Speaker 3: Left Right Center a game so pure it laughs. At Intelligence,
Speaker 3: we busted out old poker chips like sacred artifacts. Now,
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter if you're sober, sober, little tipsy, little tipsy,
Speaker 3: or floating somewhere above the room. You could have an
Speaker 3: IQ of forty or be the valed Victorian of Harvard.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter. The game does not discriminate. Chaos is
Speaker 3: the great equalizer. So we played that. We had a
Speaker 3: we had a good game. Rob Parker was there, Jason Smith,
Speaker 3: Mike Harmon, Bobo, a bunch of people, and the Clipper
Speaker 3: game was flickering on the TV in the background noise
Speaker 3: until it wasn't The morbid Clippers having a miserable season.
Speaker 3: Throwback Season took care of business. They silenced the Laker
Speaker 3: fans who have been chirping so much this year. Purple
Speaker 3: and Gold historians left with nothing but excuses and empty cups.
Speaker 3: I kind of enjoyed that, not that I paid much
Speaker 3: attention to the game now, as an introvert by nature,
Speaker 3: a social camel. That's right, I am a camel, a
Speaker 3: social camel who prefers small SIPs. This is an awkward night.
Speaker 3: The malar used to be ugly sweater party. Now it's
Speaker 3: the pajama jam. However, for a few hours I shell
Speaker 3: that and became a pinball. I bounced from conversation the conversation,
Speaker 3: rickocheting off memories, telling old radio stories that range from
Speaker 3: safe harbor for some, safer broadcast, and absolutely not can
Speaker 3: never be told into a microphone. We time traveled salad
Speaker 3: days many people call them. Not for me, no salad,
Speaker 3: No salad was consumed mine where the drive through days,
Speaker 3: KFC Burger King, McDonald's, Pizza Hut, in and Out, Wendy's
Speaker 3: beef ball, cheese steaks everywhere, A culinary resume built on
Speaker 3: asphalt and ambition.
Speaker 1: Back in my big eating days.
Speaker 3: So the night ended the right way, sobering up, doing
Speaker 3: the responsible thing, driving my friend Artie back to his
Speaker 3: hotel so he could crash for a few hours and
Speaker 3: get ready for the NFL. Because closure matters. So the
Speaker 3: first ever Malard Christmas pajama jam thingamajig or what you
Speaker 3: ma call it was a roaring success, a reminder that
Speaker 3: community beats perfection, that comfort can be revolutionary, and that
Speaker 3: sometimes sometimes the best memories are made in pajamas, holding
Speaker 3: a chicken finger in one hand, rolling the dice in
Speaker 3: the other and laughing like tomorrow is not guaranteed.
Speaker 1: I cannot wait.
Speaker 3: For the twenty twenty six version, although we have to
Speaker 3: wait roughly a year. Same philosophy, right, same chaos, same sauce.
Speaker 3: Will it have the same name? Developing hot dot dot dot.
Speaker 3: Stay tuned, all right, have a wonderful Friday. Don't forget
Speaker 3: about Benny Versus the Penny. We are doing this show.
Speaker 3: There are obviously games on Saturday. That's one episode. There'll
Speaker 3: be another episode up later today that covers all the
Speaker 3: games on Sunday, every game against the spread. It's Benny
Speaker 3: Versus the Penny. It's on YouTube global platform. Myself and
Speaker 3: Tom Looney. We hope you'll consume the product and enjoy
Speaker 3: the product. It was a lot of fun doing the
Speaker 3: shows this week with Looney and again have more Fifth
Speaker 3: Hour podcast over the weekend, and have a wonderful day today,
Speaker 3: and we will catch you tomorrow. Tomorrow. I'm told it's
Speaker 3: another day. I'm told it's another day. So what's Danny's Oh,
Speaker 3: that's right, asta pasta later skater, But I'm not a skater.
Speaker 3: I like the extended wiener.
Speaker 1: I'm not all right. We'll catch you next time. Gotta murder,
Speaker 1: I gotta go.
