He's the last remnants 0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:12.600 of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:15.640 treats crackheads in the ghetto Cutter the same as the 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:17.599 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. 0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:18.480 Wow. 0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:22.440 The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special. 0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:30.760 The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:33.920 In the air everywhere The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:39.080 Mahler and Danny g Radio back in the podcast Sweatshop. 0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:43.279 The audio does not stop all weekend long, as we 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:47.120 promote during the week on the radio show Fresh Audio, 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:54.120 Original recipe audio on the radio show Extra Crispy, Really Crispy. 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:58.000 Here on the podcast on the weekends, and we celebrate 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:04.160 National Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day today today. And the 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:08.560 reason that we have National Cleanout Refrigerator ratar Day today 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:11.640 is it's right before the holidays. We're only a couple 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:16.200 weeks away from Thanksgiving, an opportunity to start fresh, and 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:20.040 then you will have your refrigerator filled with Thanksgiving liftovers 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.520 and all the other nonsense that happens over the holidays. 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:27.959 So today National cleanout your refrigerator day, an invention that 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:32.600 when it came around was mind blowing, right, mind blowing. 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.440 They estimate that it goes back to seventeen fifty five 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:42.480 artificial refrigeration began. Some Scottish professor used a pump to 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:48.120 create a partial vacuum in the first ever refrigeration machine. 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:51.360 Of course, you could argue that ice in rooms back 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:55.000 in the ancient days was the original refrigerator. But anyway, 0:01:55.080 --> 0:02:00.320 seventeen fifty five the modern version began, and it wasn't 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.800 until eighteen fifty four. Through the math on that almost 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.440 sixty years later, we are told the first ice making 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.639 machine came around. How about that? Yeah, and only took 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:14.080 about one hundred more years for the phrase on the 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:19.440 rocks to be ascribed to a Scotch by people work 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:23.720 at bars. Then in nineteen eleven, the first household refrigerator 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:28.920 came around, produced by General Electric, and it was based 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:34.320 on a design from a French monk. So we can 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:39.680 thank a French monk for the first household refrigerator. And 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.880 it was designed to help ge sell electricity. So the 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:48.359 actually this is great. So the first refrigerator at home 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:52.200 was just so they could get people to pay for electricity. 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.320 And then a little over a decade later, in nineteen 0:02:55.360 --> 0:03:00.960 twenty three, the first frigid Air founded by these same 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:05.280 kind people who brought you General motors. The brand became 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:10.760 so popular. How popular was it that many Americans from 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:12.440 what I was reading, I felt down a rabbit hole. 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:17.079 Many Americans called any refrigerator in the nineteen twenties and thirties, 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.959 any refrigerator by the name of the company is called 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:25.040 it a frigid Air. Then in nineteen forty the first 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.400 freezer came around, and that was a game changer of 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:32.320 the arrival of freezers large enough to make more than 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:38.280 ice cubes, and that led to the frozen food industry, 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:42.160 TV dinners, frozen pizzas and all that. And now we 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:47.520 celebrate today National cleanout your Refrigerator Day. Will you be partaking? Okay? 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:53.240 On this podcast we have the Mahoga Revolution, not Yoga, 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:59.240 Mahoga Revolution, Tilt a Whirl, and who knows what else. 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:00.840 But we're going to begin with this. So let me 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.400 tell you something right now. I'm an ideas guy. I'm 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:09.240 an ideas guy. We work in the creative shop, the 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.240 theater of the mind in radio and some men dream 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:16.680 of climbing mountains. Some men dream of winning the Daytona 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:20.000 five hundred or the Indy five hundred. Some work in 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:24.599 medicine and strive to cure diseases. Me I sit up 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.560 and sit around in the middle of the night, imagining 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:31.960 a world where a mop relay has more TV drama 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:36.599 than the NBA playing tournament, and certainly more than what's 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:40.400 going on right now, the NBA Cup, whatever that fugazy 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:42.680 thing is that's been going on in the regular season 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.640 in the NBA had some games on last night and 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.160 I was like, oh boy, yeah, yeah, they're still doing this. 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.720 They're still doing this ridiculous nonsense. What are they doing? 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:56.680 My God? That brings us to the future, the glorious, spotless, 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:02.520 streak free future, my newest get rich plan. This actually 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:07.240 hatched late in the radio show on Friday. We were 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:11.400 yapping about the event and this popped into my head. Now, 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.279 as mentioned during the radio show this week, I know 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:18.680 that my guys Azzie Waz and Donkeys Sausage and Tammy 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.000 and Vegas and Eileen in San Francisco and all of 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:27.640 you know Eke and Roseville, Minnesota know the slogan. Unless 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:34.080 you don't Mahoga make Housekeeping Olympics great again. That's the slogan. 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:38.680 Now Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas. Vegas just hosted the 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:43.120 thirty fifth Housekeeping Olympics. Now do and you saw it 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.799 or not. We talked a little bit about it. Maybe 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:52.200 not cute event, nice, wholesome, one day, couple of teams, 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:57.480 Mandalay Bay where so many fights have taken place. You 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:01.560 got your bed, making your vacuum rate, this is your mop, relays, 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:06.680 your buffer pad. Toss all of that now. Congratulations to 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:12.359 the aria Vedara team. They won the whole Enchilada. They 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.599 are the kings of the vacuum and the mop and 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:22.200 the buffer pad. So the dust warriors, good job by you. However, 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:26.160 I'm here on this podcast to tell you something America 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:31.880 refuses to admit. We're thinking way too small, way too small. 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.520 This isn't just a local event anymore. We're gonna help 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:38.280 out these people. This is going to become the next 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:44.560 global sensation of the sporting nation. If pickleball, yes, pickleball 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.880 can take over the country, which it did for a 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:52.720 couple of years, If cornhole can get on ESPN two 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:54.719 or whatever the hell it's on, and if my guy, 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.920 Joey Chestnut, who we've had on this podcast before, If 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:03.000 Joey Chestnut, the goosy guy Bobbler can turn hot dog 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.160 eating and earn a living from eating hot dogs like 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:11.360 a manufacturing plant, or he's just consuming everything more like 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:14.200 a woodship. Right, I guess, then we can turn cleaning 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:19.240 into an international blood sport. Who says no, Who says no. 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:24.360 I don't see anyone anyone with their hand in the air. 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:25.880 And the reason no one has their hand in the 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:30.080 air is because this works international blood sport. So let 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:33.040 me workshop this. I'm gonna workshop at Mallar style because 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.600 it's the podcast and I'm on here. So the vision 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:42.120 is this. It's not yoga, it's not hot yoga. It's 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:48.600 thehoga as in make Housekeeping Olympics great again. It's a movement. 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:53.480 It is a movement. We're giving the world competition. And 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:56.120 in order for this to work, you have to have consequences. 0:07:56.160 --> 0:08:00.640 You must have consequences. So as we're kind of shopping this, 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:05.080 have you ever tried to make a bed in under 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:08.760 sixty seconds? Wow? While there is a referee with a 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:14.560 stopwatch breathing down your neck. Yeah, that's pressure. Cameras in 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:18.640 the room. That's drama. There's some steaks involved. It was 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.080 a famous woman that was on television years ago named 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.440 Julia Child, and she gave one of my favorite quotes 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.160 when it comes to this kind of stuff. She summed 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:30.320 up what I'm getting at, way before I was around. 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:35.439 Julia Child, the star of PBS cooking shows, said everything 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.920 can have drama if it's done right, even a pancake. 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.800 She spot on just like Benny Versus the Penny, the 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:46.480 drama of man versus Coin Bennie Versus the Penn new 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:50.880 episode up right now on YouTube at Bennie Vspenny. Now 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:53.240 we have proven this on a weekly basis on Benny 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.840 Versus the Penny, that even a coin flip can be 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:04.280 an absolute thriller. So the throw if you build enough tension, heck, 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:07.240 a parking ticket, a parking ticke. That is a one 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:10.839 act play. You've got the villain and the hero. Now 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:11.600 who is the villain? 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:11.800 Is it? 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:15.120 The cop? Is the hero? The person that was speeding 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:16.920 because they had to get to the hospital because their 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:21.360 wife was pregnant about to have a baby. That's the question. Anyway, 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.600 get back to the point. Please, so imagine because This 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:29.240 is theater of the imagination. Just imagine the high stakes 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:38.200 drama when teams representing countries, companies, and regions go head 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:43.439 to head, belly to belly, eyeball the eyeball. I think 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:44.760 some of the events we get at, we could have 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:51.560 the bathroom blitz, scrub rints, sanitize, then we bring out 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:55.839 then we bring out the black Light of truth sponsored 0:09:55.880 --> 0:10:01.160 by Yeah, expose the grime, shame the users. Give the 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:05.320 winners a medal and put them on a podium and 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.120 get the interview, and they'll get the respect of an 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:14.400 entire nation. Dishwashing by hand, No machines, No, that's steroids, 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:21.600 that's astros. Bang bang with's the whistle cheating as holes. 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.400 We can say it on the podcast. No shortcuts, just 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:28.079 human willpower and those prune fingers. You know how you 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:30.760 put your hands in the water and they look like prunes. Yeah, 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:34.800 how about the Dust Devil Battle Royale. Bring on the 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:38.439 Dust Devil Battle Royale. Now. In this one, contestants go 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:43.400 room to room fighting off aggressive airborne dust storms, which 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:47.480 are placed there strategically by the production team. On this 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:56.439 TV show, they're created by industrial size warehouse fans. Survival 0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:01.839 of the cleanest, survival of the cleanest. What else can 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:06.120 we have? How about furniture polished sprint? Who can make 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:11.840 the dresser shine like it's starring in an Ashley Furniture commercial. 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.920 Come on, now, you with me on that? We can 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.600 have the Ikea lowdown. Now, this is a spin off. 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:23.520 It's not necessarily housekeeping. However, who can build the Ikea 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:27.400 bookcase the fastest? And that can be a spin off 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.439 of the You say housekeeping, Well you got to build 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.199 it before you can clean it. How about the vacuum 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:38.319 Grand Prix? People love racing, Get a little Nascar tie 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:45.640 in Nascar on carpet, drafting, strategy, suction technology. He blew 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:50.800 me off at a hotel near Lax How dare you Nascar? 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:56.120 It's all about having the greatest engine and all the 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.760 things that go into a Nascar. Well, if you think 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:04.000 of a vacuum, it's similar to a NASCAR using ben logic. 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:09.600 So why not send the sponsorship checks directly to me? Yeah? 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:11.480 I just want to cut. I don't need the whole thing. 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:15.040 This is work shopping. We're just work shopping on a podcast. 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:16.760 But I would be more than happy to take a 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.520 cut of the revenue. What else can we do about 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:29.280 lighting fixture, high wire. You've got chandeliers, ladders, no safety net. 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.040 Let me repeat that, no safety net for those in 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:35.040 the back of the room. Absolute panic. You have a 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:40.160 giant ladder, a huge room, thirty feet in the air. 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:45.560 You're climbing the ladder. There's no safety net. One wrong 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:53.160 move and you could die. The plot thickens. And because 0:12:53.240 --> 0:13:00.319 this is America, America America, we're gonna bring in Danny Davite. 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.800 Not that Danny DeVito. We're talking about the Danny DeVito, 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.600 who is the trash man of the people and his 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.600 crew from the burbs of Boston who calls the show 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:14.680 and their sole job to verify the heavy lifting events. 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:20.800 Trash can clean jerks right, couch deadlifts. The mattress maneuver, 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.680 not to be confused with the malad maneuver. We do 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:28.040 the malord maneuver on password. The word Game of the 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:31.120 Stars as Robbie the Mariner fans and knows and mister 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:34.600 nice guy and those guys. So this is prime time. 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:39.280 It's prime time, baby. Now the steaks, right, Kyrie, and okay, 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:45.439 so he's aware of this. The steaks are this. Everyone cleans, everyone, 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:50.120 every man and woman has to clean, unless you are 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:54.120 pig Pen from the old cartoon the Peanuts, or if 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.200 you're an oligarch and can afford to have someone clean 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:00.160 for you. But still you're paying someone to do a 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.520 job that you should be doing. This is the most 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:07.640 relatable competition since man discovered fire. It is. You think 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.239 about the Olympics. A lot of the events in the Olympics, 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:13.600 and we wrap ourselves in the flag and patriotism. That's 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:15.439 why we like the Olympics. A lot of the events 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:18.360 in the Olympics you're never going to do. You never did. 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.720 They're not very relatable at all. But putting a vacuum 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:25.120 cleaner in someone's hand, or handing them a towel and 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:28.160 some water to clean a window or something along those lines, 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:32.600 now that is a relatable competition. But wait, there's more 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:35.960 cleaning companies. I'm telling you right now, I know a 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:39.000 little bit about advertising. We're in the advertising business and radio. 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.840 You got to sell the soap. As the Great John 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:47.400 Sterling said on this podcast, cleaning companies will pay the bills. Commercials, 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:52.280 Are you kidding me? We're gonna have them lined up. Swiffer, Dyson, Clorox, 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:57.680 mister clean. They will literally be like groupies at a 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:03.480 boy band reunion tour. Wrapped around the block, Wrapped around 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.640 the block, the wind Dex Index, brought to you by 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:10.800 Windex Money, Man of Many Money, Manu and Maney and 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:14.040 the build up. Okay, gotta hype it up, right, I'm 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.000 a hype man. Gotta hype this up. You do the 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:20.480 right marketing and this is on right. You can have 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:25.280 battle of the genders. I am women versus men. Who's 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:28.840 gonna do a better job cleaning the dishes? Come on now, eh? 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.360 But the marketing part of it. You can make three 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:38.040 minute social media promo video about vacuuming. Sound like one 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:41.440 of those promos from Connor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather. The 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:44.320 greatest hyped bull crap event in the history of mankind. 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:48.000 Your little weasel, look at you, your little f and weasel, 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:52.640 Remember Connor McGregor, So good. I missed that drop. We've 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.840 had so many different board ops over the years. None 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:57.960 of them play the old stuff, and a lot of 0:15:58.000 --> 0:15:59.680 them don't even know the old stuff because they're never 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:02.000 listened the show. But I missed that. That's one drop. 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.600 I missed you a little weasel, look at you, your 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.640 little eleven weasel was so good. McGregor was yelling at 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:10.600 the guy that was doing the television. God, was that great? 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:14.840 All right? So the pitch is this becomes a global tour. 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:19.680 We're continuing to workshop the Housekeeping Olympics, taking the next 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.280 step as our goal here just for those of you 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.000 that are I don't know why you just be tuning in, 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:29.880 but to make Housekeeping Olympics great again. It's a movement 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:32.920 and that is what we're doing. That is what we 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.840 are doing right here, you and I together. So it 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.400 would be a season long league people like leagues. We'd 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:43.680 have updated standings, weekly events, national rivalries, and we can 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:47.360 make this a global event. Wrap yourself in the flag, 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:52.240 Team USA versus Team Japan in the toilet seat Precision Slam. 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:56.160 Does the Japanese team have an advantage because their toilets 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:59.640 have spray water to clean the tukas? Who knows? France 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:04.880 versus Germany in the Linen Fold Artistry Challenger? Come on now, 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:12.000 Canada versus Mexico in the Cross North America Dust Duel. 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:17.440 Yeah it works, Come on now, you know I'm right? Yeah, 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.880 you feel me on that? All right, there we go. 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.720 We can bring everyone involved. We can have the communist 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:27.320 countries and they can chounge like New York the communist 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:29.720 city of Manhattan, and then go back and forth the Olympics. 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:34.160 How about this child's play, child's play? The NHL All 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:38.040 Star Game, I've been there, not my thing. The NBA 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:40.560 All Star Game a bigger joke than the NHL All 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:47.960 Star Game. So this is I'm talking skill, speed, focus, showmanship, drama, 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:54.840 ol rama, and the eternal battle against filth. So yes, yes, 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:57.480 the Ben Mathers Show or the Fifth Hour podcast. We 0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:00.119 are a think tank. We are a think tank. And 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.720 this isn't just an idea. I'm telling you, it's a 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:07.080 malar movement. Who's with me? Yes, you're with me, the 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:11.480 mal or militia. You're my foot soldiers, Justin and Cincinnati. 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:15.840 You guys, you're gonna lead the charge. You are barbecuing 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:20.600 when absolutely we will make cleaning great again. We're gonna 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:23.200 bring in j Dot, He'll be in our Utah guy. 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:27.919 We will turn small scale Vegas housekeeping games, which go 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:32.719 on once a year, into an intercontinental battle royale, a 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:36.680 war of sponges, of vacuums and elbow grease. We don't 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:42.120 need hand grenades and bullets and guns and all that. No, no, no, no, no, no, 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.159 we don't need that. No, We'll use the sponge in 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:48.120 the vacuum in the elbow grease. And that's it. I'm 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:52.440 thinking Amazon Video. I'm thinking Netflix, Pete Cock, Disney plus 0:18:53.080 --> 0:19:00.399 two words bidding war, Bidding war. Ladies and gentlemen, present 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:08.680 to you, Mahoga trademarked the Housekeeping Olympics supersized, globalized and 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:18.199 monetized and of course dramatized. Let get descrubbing. Yeah, okay, 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:22.320 I like that. Let's do it. Let's do it. Reach 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:24.359 out to the people, let them know, send them this 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:29.280 podcast the people over at the Housekeeping Olympics, and there 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:32.760 we go. Think of all the cities that are built 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:37.399 on tourism. You could have Vegas. You'll start out with 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:40.640 the North American thing. You think New Orleans, You think 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:46.480 Anaheim because of Disneyland, Orlando because of Disney World. You 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:50.320 think of the great tourist cities in America. I mentioned Miami. 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:53.119 You put all these cities. You'll start with that, and 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:56.800 then you'll work your way around. All right, turn the page, 0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:01.520 turning the page. So the naked city does sleep, and 0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:04.000 it sure is hell doesn't shut up, and that's a 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:06.879 bit of a problem, as we yapp here on the 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:09.080 Fifth Hour podcast. So that is the first thing that 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:12.240 you are reminded of when you're sitting in a press 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:16.240 box on a Sunday, late afternoon, early evening in Englewood, 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:20.200 in the hood and up to no good, trying to concentrate, 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:24.520 trying to line up four hours of original content via 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:28.840 bullet points for Malard monologues on a fledgling overnight show, 0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:34.680 while there are literally thousands of tiny conversations buzzing around 0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:38.160 you like fruit flies. So this is a tale from 0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:40.000 last Sunday when I got to catch up with the 0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:43.080 Godfather Eddie Garcia. But I spent most of my time 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:46.239 in the press box at SOFI Stadium, and it is 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:51.439 a hive. Everyone's got a story, everyone's got a theory, 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:55.560 and no one is listening. I promise you, no one 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:59.720 is listening. The entire sports world insisted on having a 0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:03.480 con conversation in my left ear, then my right ear, 0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:08.240 and then across the table, then two rows behind me. Now, 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:13.000 back in the day, I was a staple in the 0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:17.639 press box. Ever since the pandemic, it is rare and 0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:22.760 appropriate rare and appropriate that you will find me at 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:25.560 a sporting event. I just don't go out very much. 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:27.960 I have my routine. I like to cook at home 0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:29.639 and then I feel like the foods I get what 0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:34.120 I want. It's healthier and all that. Most NFL games 0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:36.720 are where I'm at. I mostly go to NFL games. 0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:40.360 I would go to Dodger games, but unfortunately, despite having 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:43.600 a radio show on six hundred radio stations and broadcast globally, 0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:48.520 we're not a local Tokyo operation. So they make me 0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:50.440 jump through hoops to get out there. It's not worth 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:54.000 the headache. It's a total active disrespect. So I don't go. 0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:57.560 And so when I here's the So, when I attend 0:21:57.560 --> 0:21:59.400 events now, it used to be a daily thing back 0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:02.800 in my twenties and my thirties and even my forties 0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:05.920 and early forties. So when I attend events now, everyone 0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:08.640 wants to catch up with me because I'm not there 0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:13.320 very often, and they all listen to our show at 0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:15.560 least once or twice during the week. It is oh, yeah, 0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:17.800 I heard your so and so monologue, I heard you 0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:21.240 talking about this or that the other. And so people 0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:25.560 think that going out to these these games is serene 0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:30.280 and covering a game, and you know, very calm composed. 0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:34.760 You're at a perch which has windows, and you're protected, 0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:39.479 you're insulated from all of the action. Not true, all right, 0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:43.000 that's there's there's absolute friction there. The press box is 0:22:43.080 --> 0:22:47.560 not a monastery. It's not even a library. The modern 0:22:47.600 --> 0:22:52.320 press box is a carnival without a ring master. You 0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:55.840 think you're multitasking at these NFL games, but what you're 0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:59.640 really doing is hanging on for dear life. As the 0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:04.119 old radioheads, the ones who've seen and done everything in 0:23:04.119 --> 0:23:09.040 the business, who survived every ownership change, format flip known 0:23:09.160 --> 0:23:14.760 to mankind, they start gossiping like Long Island yenthas at 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:18.679 a bagel shop. And I mean that lovingly, I in 0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:21.760 case they happened to listen to this podcast. These guys 0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:25.080 know things, They've heard things, and they will tell you 0:23:25.240 --> 0:23:30.560 loudly and proudly, without pause over the hum of the 0:23:30.800 --> 0:23:34.600 air conditioner and the clacking of laptops and the tapping 0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:39.560 of fork sun plates. So the Sofi Social Hour will 0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:42.800 call it. You cannot focus because there's too much happening. Now, 0:23:42.800 --> 0:23:45.280 this was an NBC game we're talking about last weekend. 0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:49.359 The Steelers and the Chargers. There was Tony Dungee wandering around. 0:23:49.400 --> 0:23:51.760 He was sitting on the sidelines. That became a story 0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:54.760 about Dungee playing back in the day in Pittsburgh. There 0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:59.560 was Snoop dogg wandering around the concourse for and bees 0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:03.240 getting paid more money than I ever made for Benny 0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:05.480 versus the penny. Not that I'm bitter about that. Now, 0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:10.359 someone mentions in the press box, that's the honorary mayor 0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:13.240 of Diamond Bar. You probably even know where Diamond Bar is. 0:24:13.560 --> 0:24:16.760 It's a sleepy little suburb wedged between the Inland Empire 0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:20.240 and Orange County in southern California, where Snoop Dog who 0:24:20.320 --> 0:24:23.159 likes to pretend like he's from the hood. He's been 0:24:23.200 --> 0:24:25.639 living there for years. And so that led to a 0:24:25.720 --> 0:24:28.439 conversation about what it must be like to live in 0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:32.720 Diamond Bar, property values, zoning laws, whether the fifty seven 0:24:32.800 --> 0:24:37.320 Freeway is actually cursed or not at rush hour now, meanwhile, 0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:42.680 we're supposed to be watching the game. The Chargers were 0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:46.240 doing their usual thing, being outnumbered in their own building 0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:49.960 by a sea of yellow towels led by the Godfather 0:24:50.119 --> 0:24:56.200 Eddie Garcia and second third, fourth generation Steelers fans who've 0:24:56.240 --> 0:25:01.359 turned so far into Pittsburgh's satellite campus. Look and you 0:25:01.480 --> 0:25:05.520 realize that you could throw a broadwurst in any direction 0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:09.200 and hit a yinser or at least an honorary parogi 0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:14.640 lover in the crowd. The Los Angeles Chargers might as 0:25:14.640 --> 0:25:19.359 well be the road team Home Division, road team Home 0:25:19.400 --> 0:25:25.120 Division every week. So there's a rhythm to these late 0:25:25.200 --> 0:25:28.720 afternoon into evening NFL games. You have the pregame meal, 0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:33.919 the halftime snack, which is another meal, and then you 0:25:34.040 --> 0:25:37.560 have some postgame madness and all that and Sofi, which 0:25:37.680 --> 0:25:41.800 is just a work of art. They absolutely nailed it 0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:47.080 for all of its futuristic glory, it has not cracked 0:25:47.119 --> 0:25:51.240 the code on press box food. Now, my guy Sports 0:25:51.280 --> 0:25:54.640 with Coleman in Baltimore is obsessed with press box food. 0:25:54.720 --> 0:25:58.560 He loves it, loves it, loves it, loves it. Sofi. 0:25:58.640 --> 0:26:03.160 I have noticed that the snacks are world class solid. 0:26:03.800 --> 0:26:07.280 The actual meals, the Rams seem to have better food 0:26:07.400 --> 0:26:13.000 than the Charges, like the meals often are not Malard approved. 0:26:13.880 --> 0:26:16.320 I'll give you an example. So the pregame meal, they 0:26:16.359 --> 0:26:22.160 had this grilled chicken mashed potatoes combo, which normally would 0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:23.919 have been fine, but it looked like it was cooked 0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:28.800 by a guy who learned how to season through some 0:26:28.880 --> 0:26:32.960 kind of zoom tutorial. So that didn't really look appetited. 0:26:33.040 --> 0:26:35.119 So I gambled. I admit, this is a me problem, 0:26:35.160 --> 0:26:39.200 not a Sofi problem. So I gambled the halftime meal 0:26:39.240 --> 0:26:43.359 would be better. So I waited till halftime. I passed 0:26:43.359 --> 0:26:46.280 on the pregame meal, and we get to halftime and 0:26:46.359 --> 0:26:51.040 it brought a strange calzone adjacent creation. There were some 0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:53.840 chicken wings that looked like they had fought in the 0:26:53.880 --> 0:26:57.680 first half of the game. You know, I don't do wings. 0:26:57.920 --> 0:27:02.040 I'm not a wing guy. I'm not fingers. I believe 0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:06.240 wings should be left alone. It's a complete crap. There 0:27:06.320 --> 0:27:10.320
