He's the last remnants 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.480 of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:15.480 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.439 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to clearing House 0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:23.200 of hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth 0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:30.760 Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:32.320 In the air everywhere. 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:36.800 The Fifth Hour with Me Ben Maler and Danny g Radio. 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:40.200 He'll be producing this podcast. You got me hanging out. 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:45.360 It is the end of our week and the beginning 0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:50.080 of the podcast. So what yeah, I know, Well you 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:52.320 figured it out by now if you're a regular listener 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:54.480 to the podcast. We do the radio show five nights 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:57.640 a week and then we slide in to a podcast 0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:01.440 studio which is totally different. And the radio studio which 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.760 is infested with cockroaches, had barbecue chips on the floor 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.679 and vermin all over the place. 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:10.440 But the podcast studio none of that. 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:15.880 It's clean, it's comfortable, it's weather controlled. You don't see 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:17.959 food all over the place. Back there's no eating in 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:22.080 the podcast studio. No food allowed in the podcast studio. 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:26.039 There is a jug of water, So there is water, 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.200 but it's on the other side of the very valuable 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:32.280 equipment here in the podcast studio. So today is the 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.199 fourteenth day of March. Let's get right into it. And 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.120 on this pod we will have at some point the 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:42.280 word of the week. The word of the week, and 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:44.840 it's a word that I likely would not be able 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.360 to use on terrestrial radio. But here on the podcast 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:49.760 we don't have to worry about the FCC or any 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.440 of that stuff. There's no government regulations on podcasts, at 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.040 least not yet. I'm sure at some point someone will 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:55.600 come in and. 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.880 Say, you're not allowed to do that, what's wrong with you? 0:01:58.040 --> 0:01:58.920 Blah blah blah blah. 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:00.640 But at this point we're good, so we don't worry 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:04.760 about that. So we will have a very spicy word. 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:04.960 Of the week. 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.880 And I would like to point out that this is 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:15.960 the last Friday until sometime in October or possibly November, 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:20.640 that we will not have Major League baseball. Between now 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.720 and next Friday, there will be not one, but two 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:26.440 Major League Baseball games. Then there'll be a little bit 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:31.200 of a lull, and then a week later, less than 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:33.560 a week later, after that there'll be more baseball. The 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.520 Dodgers and Cubs, as we've talked about a little bit 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:40.240 on the Overnight show, are in Japan and they'll open 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.440 up the season coming up. And some of you are concerned, 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:45.520 I think supermarkets, Steve and some of the other yahoos 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:47.680 we're emailing in are you going to be covered? Yes, 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:51.000 we will likely be covered up in LA which is 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:55.760 perfectly fine. And the reason it's perfectly fine is you 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.520 can still hear the show on the app. 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:00.160 It's not like you can't hear the show. 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.440 If you want to hear the show'll you'll be able 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:03.200 to find the show. 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.160 It is not nineteen eighty four. 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:11.920 It is, in fact, twenty twenty five, so back in 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:12.320 the old time. 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:12.800 I remember when I. 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:14.600 First started on Raider, and I didn't start in the eighties, 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.840 but in the nineties when I started in radio and 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.720 we were talking about podcasting and I was. 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:22.799 Like, no, I don't want to do that. 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:26.960 But the thing that always bothered us about the radio 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:31.520 is that once we did the show, that was it. 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:33.760 Like the show was done and there was really no 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:35.760 way to hear the show. I mean, we recorded it 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.280 on cassette tapes and real the real machines and. 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:38.840 Crap like that. 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:41.880 But outside of that, for those of us that worked 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:43.400 in the building, it was fine. But if you're listening, 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:45.680 you had to hear it live and it had to 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.080 be consumed live, and it was a disposable form of entertainment. 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.840 Now it's still a disposable form of entertainment. But with 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.440 the podcast world and the streaming on the iHeart app 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.720 and all that. But the podcasting stuff, which is also 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.360 part of the iHeart app and these other apps, you 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:00.760 can go back and lit and then every once in 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:04.120 a while we'll hear from Tony in the Bay Area 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:07.600 who loves to say bad words, or we'll hear from 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.480 from various other characters that'll go back and listen to 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:15.560 the archive, the audio vault of old shows, and that 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.280 blows me away, what are you doing, Like, why are 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.280 you Why are you going back and listening to old 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:23.960 radio shows when I'm talking about stuff that happened in 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.599 twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen and here we are in 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:27.440 twenty twenty five. 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:32.120 But there is a sub genre of listeners. 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:33.040 That like to go back and hear some of those 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:35.920 old shows and see how the show's evolved and classic 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.120 moments with our friend Eddie who was of course on 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:39.760 the show for those years and whatnot. 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:40.720 And you can go. 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:44.440 Back to some former board ops for Birdo and Danny 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:46.400 g when he was a board op, and people that 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.599 worked on the show, and the different characters that would 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.960 call into the show and all that. So anyway, we'll 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:53.960 have baseball and we will get covered up next week 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.880 in the LA market, which is fine, and you can 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:57.480 still hear the show. 0:04:57.480 --> 0:04:58.600 If you want to hear the show, you'll be able 0:04:58.600 --> 0:04:59.080 to hear the show. 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.560 Today is a very important dat is National Potato Chip Day, 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:07.240 and so I thought we would mix in some fun facts. 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:11.480 That's right, fun fact on National Potato Chip Day. Now 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.080 why it is on a random Friday in the month 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:15.120 of March, I do not know. 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.359 I do not come up with these fugazy days. I don't. 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:22.559 But the potato chip as it is known today, goes 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:28.760 back to eighteen fifty three the modern potato chip was born. 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.960 Yeah, what in a magical time that must have been. 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:37.680 So there was a chef named George Speck also known 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:41.800 as George Crumb, and this guy is credited with being 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.880 the Einstein of the potato chip, and he did it 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:49.800 in Saratoga Springs in New York in eighteen fifty three. 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.279 And what really helped the birth of the potato chip. 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.240 The growth of the potato chip, i should say, was 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:59.200 a very famous name that even if you have limited 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:05.400 knowledge of writing and history, you would know this name. 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:09.600 It's one of the great names in American history when 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:14.160 it comes to the arts, and we're talking about Charles Dickens. 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:19.640 And the first popular reference to the snack known as 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:23.479 potato chip was written in A Tale of Two Cities, 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:28.520 a famous work by Charles Dickens back in eighteen fifty nine. 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:30.720 So six years after the potato chip was born. There 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:32.920 was no social media, I'm told, so they had no 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.200 way to promote it, and there was no eighteen fifty three, 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.839 there was no radio, there was no television. All you 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:44.039 had was was the newspapers to get the word out. 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:47.640 And then nineteen twenty one you started seeing mass production 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.520 of potato chips that began. So it's been over one 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:54.240 hundred years now and in nineteen thirty two, what is 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:58.920 considered the gold standard for the potato chip, Freedo A 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.359 came onto the scene with the laised potato chips that 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:06.120 was in nineteen thirty two. So ever since then it's 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:10.040 been green light go. And today is National Potato Chip Day. 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.720 And I also ready study because I love my studies. 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:18.000 That said that we are predispositioned as human beings to 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:22.760 love potato chips, And you said, what are you talking about? 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:26.640 Let me explain, So researchers explain it to you. So 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:32.360 researchers discovered that in the mouth, your mouth, my mouth, 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.440 the person over there's mouth, that other person over there, 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:40.600 in our mouths, that when we come into contact with 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:44.080 delicious fat, we can't. 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:45.040 Get enough of it. 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:49.920 It's amazing, like from the potato chip. The fat in 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:55.960 the potato chip wonderful. It triggers a mechanism in our guts, 0:07:56.560 --> 0:08:01.560 in our innerds, and that mechanism is one of addiction. 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:07.600 Can't get enough of it. So you literally cannot eat 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:10.640 just one chip, because if you eat one chip, you 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:12.880 want to eat another chip, and then another one, and 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.440 another one bites the dust, and another one, and before 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:18.440 you know it, you've eaten the whole bag. That's it, right, 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:22.440 And you get the whether it's a can of pringles 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.760 or a big bag of ruffles, or lazed potato chips, 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.119 or we just had a listener send us a bunch 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.320 of delicious food from Canada. 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.760 We'll talk about that in a minute. But you can't 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:34.240 get enough. 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:39.200 You cannot get enough, amazing, amazing, amazing, So National Potato 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:41.840 Chips and they did rant I complained on the air 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.280 this week. It's a little serendipitous because I'd mentioned the 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:48.200 annoyance of buying potato chips and then half the bag 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:50.440 is filled with is like hydrogen or whatever it is, 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.560 to take up the space, they say, to procure the 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.520 long life of the chip, which I think is one 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:57.719 of the great hustles of our time. 0:08:57.760 --> 0:08:58.720 But anyway, I digress. 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:00.840 While I was speaking of foot food and talking about 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:02.839 food here to start with National Potato Chip Day, I 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:06.679 did want to mention another factoid that I learned this 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.439 week as I've been dabbling in the kitchen. 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:13.319 So there are thousands of. 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:17.480 Recipes, and once you start cooking, you realize how many 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:19.640 FN recipes there are, but a lot of things taste 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:23.840 very similar. And the reason that is, out of all 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.959 of the different recipes, I'm not just talking here anywhere 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:31.280 in the world, any different part of the world, the 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:37.400 experts claim that there's only five basic tastes, five basic tastes. 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.720 Despite all the different ingredients and all the different foods 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:49.120 and all that, the five basic ingredients are sweet, sour, salty, bitter, 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:57.840 and umami which means savory. So that's it. That's not 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:01.440 a list, Terry, that's a big board. That's a big board, 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.520 the five basic tastes that you have and I have. 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:09.959 Now we should also point out that over time, your 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:14.199 taste buds do not last. In fact, when we're born, 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:20.200 we have ten thousand taste buds. But after you turn fifty, 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:23.199 the numbers starts to go down, down, down, down down. 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:27.640 How low can you go? And it becomes a problem. 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:30.280 And the other issue when you get older is you 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:35.040 have a diminished sense of smell. And those that study 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:38.800 how this all works, it. 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:39.200 Goes side by side. 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.560 It's Batman and Robin, it's peanut, butter and jelly. 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.360 It's the taste and the smell. 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.520 And I know I lost, as you might have done, 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:52.280 and many of us did during the pandemic when we 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:55.120 had the COVID We lost our sense of smell. No, 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.839 I actually didn't mind it, which really annoyed my wife. 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.440 She got very upstessional kid. But believe it she was 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:02.000 so upset. 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.040 She was like, oh, she had read stories that your 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:07.480 smell never goes comes back, and she was freaking out. 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.440 And it was like, I was like, that's fine. I 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:12.040 don't smell bad things. I mean, yeah, I don't smell 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:16.360 good things, but I also don't smell bad things, so 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.480 it's not it's not that bad. 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.679 It is okay. It was fine, you. 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.959 Know, I mean, my smell came back, and and that 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:30.199 was that. Anyway, speaking of the five the five different 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:34.440 tastes that you have despite all the different recipes and 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:39.840 all that, it reminded me of the factoid about about 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:44.679 music and how you got all these songs right, all 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:49.520 these songs and this, that and the other thing, and 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:56.120 it really comes down to just a handful of ways 0:11:56.160 --> 0:12:00.559 that music can be made. And to expand on that, 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.080 since I'm trying to go with this train of thought 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:07.000 right now, here's how I'll explain it. With all the 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:13.120 music and whatnot, there are an estimated sixty thousand songs 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:19.920 that are put up on the streaming service Spotify every day, 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:24.320 sixty thousand songs. There are twenty two million songs a year, 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:31.199 and there are only twelve notes that are available that's it, 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:37.800 that's all, and that is the basic musical building block, 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:41.800 if you will. So you think of the big wild 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:44.000 world and all the different ingredients and food as we 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:47.680 talked about, and there's only five main ways that we 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.160 are able to consume that food, and then in terms 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:54.520 of taste, and then there are only so many notes 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:55.920 and very few. 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:58.800 Chords used in pop music. 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.720 And so despite all these songs, in millions and millions 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:07.440 of songs, there's only twelve notes that are available. Yeah, 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:11.680 put that in your pipe and smoking. So we have 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:16.199 some foody fun. Why do we have foody fun? Why 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.360 not have foody fun here? For food he fun? It's 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:20.679 all about the foody fun. 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.720 Now. I have been eating mostly at home, but rare 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.200 and appropriate. We go out. 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:29.680 Food got so expensive as I forget it, so I 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:30.760 try to help the boys out. 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.679 Now, some of you guys have real jobs. 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:36.120 You can't go home and cook, and you got to 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.480 go out, and you're covered in schmutz and you don't 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:42.240 want to deal with all that nonsense and whatnot. So 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.480 some deals here, I don't know if these are great 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:48.480 deals or not deals, not good deals. But Arby's, which 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:53.080 Danny G does not think much of who. They have 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:59.160 a new deal, the big Crispy Meal at Arby's. They've 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:04.520 debuted that six, which I guess is a good deal. 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:10.960 It includes the entree you have Crispy fish sandwich, Crispy 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:14.880 Chicken sandwich, or fish and cheddar sandwich. 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.600 So one of those three you get. 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:22.720 Four piece potato cakes or a large fry, and then 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:27.640 you get to drink. So I would go Crispy Chicken sandwich, 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:31.680 large fry, curly large curly fry. 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:34.240 And then I'd go drink. So yeah, I don't need 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:37.000 the fish. I'm good on that. 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:42.440 Prices they say mayvary in Alaska and in Hawaii. You 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.240 get screwed. You live in Alaska and Hawaii. It does 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:52.160 not go well. Pizza launched a new pizza charcuterie board for. 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:55.640 Pie Day, which I think is today. 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.240 Actually I think today's Pie Day, but not as fun 0:14:58.240 --> 0:14:59.520 as Potato Chip Day. 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:02.320 So yeah, it's today. 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:07.960 And the pizza charcuterie board allows you to create your 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:11.720 own pizza board, perfect for a big party. I can't 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:14.800 think of a cooler person than someone that throws a 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:19.200 party with a pizza hut charcuterie board. And this falls 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:23.440 into the gimmick marketing thing, which is brilliant. So the 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:26.360 way this one works, build your own savory experience by 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:31.880 mixing and matching the following menu options. You've got any 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:35.960 two medium pizzas, so you can choose your hand tossed, 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.200 your Chicago tavern style or whatever it is. 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:43.320 Eight any eight boneless wings. 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:47.360 So that's we just call those just chicken nuggets, they 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:51.200 say sauced bite sized wings men for sharing. And then 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:56.320 any sticks and dips so you can get golden baked sticks. 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:01.320 Get that and put that on your charcuterie board, and 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:04.240 all of that available for twenty four ninety nine. That 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:07.320 seems like a good deal actually in modern times. And 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:10.720 it's it started becoming available, I guess the other day. 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:12.840 So actually it's been been out since March eleventh, but 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:17.920 it's for pie Day, so if you want to celebrate properly, 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:20.520 you can go to pizza and get that. What else 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:23.240 is going on in food? He fun, hooray for food 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:25.320 he fun. Well, I didn't even know this was a thing, 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:29.440 but it's returned to Wiener Schnitzel, my favorite German restaurant, 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:35.880 Wiener Schnitzel and the lent friendly seed dog. 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:37.680 That's right. 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:41.200 The seed dog, fish and chips are back on the menu, 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:46.360 Thank God, hallelujah. Prices vary, but a sea dog costs 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:51.320 in LA four fifty nine a two piece fish and 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:54.600 chips six ninety nine. That seems like a not a 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:56.880 good deal. Six ninety nine for two pieces of fish? 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.760 Am I wrong on that? I haven't eaten that a while. 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:03.320 In addition to the return of the fish, because when 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:06.360 you think hot dogs, you think fish. At Wiener Snitzel, 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:10.879 they've launched a new cotton candy shake and a cotton 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:14.840 candy dip cone, So get in on that. Five ninety 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:18.440 nine for the shake, and the cone is three point 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:21.879 fifty nine, so you can really go for it and 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.480 set yourself up for some serious issues. You get the 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:29.320 chili dogs for four dollars every day, you get the 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:33.560 honey battered corn dog for four dollars, four of those 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:38.760 and just knock yourself out National Corn Dog Day, which 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.800 is tomorrow on Saturday. 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:45.160 So there's a lot a lot of days. 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:47.920 I'm starting to think the only reason we have these 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:53.320 days is to promote items, to move product, to move commerce, 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:54.160 is why. 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:57.640 We have these varying days. That, yeah, what else. 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:00.600 Is there it's foody Fun way for food fo de fun, 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:04.280 all right, Where to find the cheapest fast food in Americans? 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.120 Does that get your attention? Does that get you all 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:11.720 fired up? So you can still get dinner for less 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.800 than ten bucks? Probably not if you're in California or 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:16.600 in New York, But there are other places. And so 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:19.600 there was a story I was reading this. It was 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.240 in I think it was in Delish whatever that is. 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:24.959 I don't know what that is, but I came across 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:28.280 the story and they went through all of the. 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:30.800 Various deals here. 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:34.160 And the issue is that the menu prices vary widely 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:39.240 across the nation, and even within restaurants like they were saying, 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:43.639 Jack in the Box and Burger King are usually pretty 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:49.240 cheap for burgers. McDonald's and Windy's also have solid value. 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:54.120 In me, the general consensus is it's all about the apps. 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:55.800 It's all about the apps. And you have to be 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:57.960 able to go like Jack in the Box and get 0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:01.160 two tacos for ninety nine cents, which has been around 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:02.800 for a long time. And so you end up throwing 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:05.040 those two tacos in and. 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:07.240 You're good to go. And they've got a. 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:10.520 Bunch of Munchies for under four dollars, so they got 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:14.679 that going for you. Dairy Queen has a seven dollars 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:20.000 meal deal full sized hamburger French fry meal that includes 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:23.240 a drink and a Sunday Jack in the Box has 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:24.120 a half off. 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:27.240 On a burger mentioned the Munchies menu thing. 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:31.040 McDonald's has the app the Value Menu, five dollar deals. 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:36.160 Taco Bell has something called the Craving Box lineup. 0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:36.840 I don't know what it is. 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:39.639 They got options for five, seven dollars and nine dollars 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:42.840 on that, and some of the items as cheap as 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:48.760 a dollar nineteen for a taco, a softer crunchry taco 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:53.000 meat Taco Bucks seventy nine. Windy's has the five dollars 0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:55.480 Biggie bag and go on on. Sonic is on here. 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:57.679 They have a dollar ninety nine value menu, and if 0:19:57.680 --> 0:19:59.640 you eat at Burger King, you might want to see 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:02.679 a doctor. No, they have the fish sandwich and whatnot 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:04.440 at Burger Kings. So those are some of the deals 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:07.919 out there for foody fun. Now moving on from that, 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:12.119 I filled in the rare and appropriate fill in on 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:16.240 a M five to seventy, which is our flagship in 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:17.520 Los Angeles. 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:19.400 And the Home of the Dodgers. 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:21.359 I got the call last minute, Hey, you want to 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:24.679 do the show with Fred Rogan Rodney's away. I said, okay, 0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:27.320 I'll do the show, and so we did the show 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:29.960 and it was only a couple hours. It was back 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:34.359 on Wednesday, and so that inspired some of you knuckleheads. 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:37.920 Two people reach out to me. One guy is in 0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:42.680 let me check here. Hold on a second. No no 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:45.800 no no no no no no no.

Michael is in Boston or somewhere in 0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:05.640 that area in the Northeast. And both of them said 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:09.399 why they were listening on the iHeartRadio appening. So I 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:11.960 thank you both. And they had a similar question.

You understand, though, like when I fill in, 0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:33.760 I actually get paid for it. I'm not doing it 0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:36.080 out of an active charity. They do pay me, not 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:38.679 a lot, but they pay me a little bit, so 0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:41.080 I gotta get paid. And I have filled in. You 0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:42.919 guys are I feel like you guys are both new 0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:44.800 to the show because over the years, I've been doing 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:46.560 this a long time, so I filled in. I did 0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:51.119 have a side hustle for two years and it's been 0:21:51.560 --> 0:21:54.560 a minute. But twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen, I filled 0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:57.439 in on the night show on Wei and Boston. I 0:21:57.440 --> 0:22:00.840 did it remotely, and I even did the Red Sox 0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:05.000 review postgame show after I don't know how many Red 0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:07.040 Sox games. I did it a number of Red Sox games. 0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:08.480 I was in a rotation that was me and a 0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:11.399 couple other dudes. One of the guys was a lollipop 0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:16.360 salesman that was his other gig, and good guy knew 0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:19.080 everything about lollipops and told me, like the inside skinny 0:22:19.119 --> 0:22:21.960 of like the battle for lollipops is to try to 0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:24.920 get Most lollipops are purchased at the last minute. 0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:26.280 Nobody goes to a store to. 0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:31.000 Buy lollipops, and the way they sell lollipops is to 0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:35.960
