Speaker 3: people's houses burning up from Christmas trees. We got rid

47
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 3: of that thing. The first sign of that tree starting

48
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 3: to die, I think was gone. We just said, get

49
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 3: the f out of here, we're done with you, and

50

66
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,360

67
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,440

68
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:38,760

00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: now Del Taco available in the West. That's not a

00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: national chain, it's a regional chain. But that's through March

79
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 3: You will literally walk out with diabetes. But that is

80
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 3: the that is the gift. It's an added bonus. It's

81
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:28,559
Speaker 3: an added bonus.

82
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 4: There.

00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 3: Here's another one of those stories about fast food items

85
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 3: that you can get cheaper versions of by going to

86
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: places like all the Costco and Walmart. We've used a

87
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 3: lot of these, We've gotten some good feedback on them,

88
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 3: and so I guess I'll mention a few of these. Now,

89
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 3: are you an all de fan? There are all these

90
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 3: where we are. But the problem I have with all

91
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 3: these you got to put like quarters in to get

92
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: the cart. That's annoying, Like that.

93
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 5: I can use a cart. When I went in, I

94
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 5: had my first all the experience about four or five

95
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 5: weeks ago.

96
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,280

Speaker 3: there before a few times over the years.

98
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 5: There was no rhyme or reason to where everything was

99
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 5: located in the store.

100
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a little bunch.

101
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 5: Of like leftover stuff, I guess, a lot of discontinued

102
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 5: items and stuff like that.

103
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,400

104
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: stuff that's on sale, give you a deal. But the

105
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: claim is that if you love the McDonald's Big Mac,

00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we've seen that in the frozen section.

115
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 3: That's not that's not something to get all excited about.

116
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: What else Costco they have? Oh, yeah, we've talked about.

117
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 3: This is the Chick fil a Nuggets ripoff version and

118
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: the chicken the just Bear lightly Bear, lightly breaded chicken chunks.

119
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, We've been buying those here at my house for

120
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 4: a while.

121
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, those are really good. Those are those are solid.

122
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 3: And then Walmart's got the actually tried that. I think

123
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 3: we talked about this last we talked about it last week.

124
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: I don't know I saw it. I don't know if

125
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 3: we mentioned it on the podcast, but that that you

126
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 3: can get rip off Taco Bell taketos at Walmart. And

127
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, that's you know, that bullshit. You

128
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 3: know that's not going to taste like Taco Bell. And

129
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 3: I'm not even a huge Taco Bell fan. I just thought, well,

130
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 3: I've had the taktos at Taco Bell and I thought

131
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 3: they were all. They were fine and it's restaurant quality.

132
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 3: So I bought bought the box, and I mean it

133
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 3: was pretty pretty much the same. I was like shocked, Like, man,

134
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 3: it was like the Dell mex version of the taketo,

135
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 3: the chicken and cheese version, and it was pretty right on.

136
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: They got the dipping sauces that are dupes, and the

137
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 3: taketos are just like Taco Bell, the rolled chicken tacos,

138
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 3: and I mean there's a bunch of other stuff, but.

139
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 5: You'll give you a quick hack. You know the Polynesian

140
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 5: sauce at Chick fil A. Uh huh, it's sweet. It's

141
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 5: almost like a sweet and sour. Yeah. At Costco they

142
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 5: have those egg rolls that they sell really good and

143
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 5: they're pretty healthy. Get the Polynesian sauce. You can buy

144
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 5: the Chick fil A Polynesian sauce at any grocery store.

145
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 5: Put that on a plate, a little of that. Put

146
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 5: a few of those egg rolls in the air fryer, boom,

147
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 5: You're good your gold.

148
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

149
00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 3: I felt very plugged in because of this podcast any

150
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 3: because during the week, I think it was the Friday show,

151
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 3: the end of the show.

152
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: At the end of the week show.

153
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 3: And Cooper Loop we're talking in our production meeting, which

154
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 3: is really like a brief conversation off the air, and

155
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 3: Coop said that he went to Costco and they had

156
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 3: chocolate chip cookies and he didn't realize they were going

157
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 3: to have chocolate chip cookies. So then I got to

158
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 3: explain because of the podcast, and I'd given the story

159
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago, we talked about the chocolate

160
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 3: chip cookie replacing the churro in the Costco food court,

161
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 3: which is really big news for everybody, and Coop said

162
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 3: two fifty for the cookie, and it's their version of

163
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 3: like the Crumble cookie, and it was well made, but

164
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 3: probably not worth two fifty.

165
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: He felt like, not worth the two fifty. Okay, it's

166
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: his movie, but yeah, yeah, it's one of those.

167
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 5: Times with those crumble prices. That's not a bad deal.

168
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, crumbles like ten bucks probably for the same cookie.

169
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 3: So if you're into it, and kids generally love cookies,

170
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 3: so I gotta believe they're good. They're banking on kids

171
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 3: with their parents who go shopping that on the way out, Hey,

172
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 3: I see a giant chocolate chip cookie.

173
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: That's gonna be call in a couple of years, Danny.

174
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 5: While we're inside FOODI fun, I should mention that I

175
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 5: got to sample some of Benny's brittle, that peanut brittle

176
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 5: that you put in the Christmas box you gave me. Yeah,

177
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 5: it's the first sugar or the first candy I should

178
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 5: say that I have intentionally eaten in the past thirteen weeks. Ooh,

179
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 5: and man, was it worth it? That brittle is better

180
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 5: than seese candies?

181
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: Wow?

182
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, you I'm not kidding, not just pulling your leg here, Ben, Yeah,

183
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 5: you can get done with radio, which could be any

184
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 5: moment after yesterday.

185
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, with the gift card.

186
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, with you emailing the boss about a phantom

187
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 5: gift card. Seriously, you could call it Benny's brittle. That

188
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 5: peanut brittle you made was so good. I kept sneaking

189
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 5: back to the box and taking pieces out, and I'm

190
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 5: not supposed to be eating sugar right now.

191
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 4: I couldn't help myself. I was like a gremlin.

192
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'm sorry you fell off the wagon because

193
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 3: of that. I thought, but maybe you give your kids

194
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 3: or your wife could have so well, no, no, it's good.

195
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 3: I just started futzing around with peanut brittle and I

196
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 3: was like, because I saw some other people that made it,

197
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 3: and I was like, well, my brother in law has

198
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 3: made us, so I thought that can't be that hard.

199
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: But I wanted to, like really really nail it, you know,

200
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: I want to.

201
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 4: I want to.

202
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 3: It's a science to it. It's it's actually just it's

203
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 3: not hard to make, but to do it right. I

204
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: even went out and bought It's what a loser I am.

205
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 3: I bought a candy thermometer because.

206
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 4: All right, you mentioned that.

207
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, like the whole, the whole secret thing.

208
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 3: Is is there's this sweet spot where if you mix

209
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 3: everything together, you got to keep stirring it, but it

210
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 3: has to get to the perfect temperature and then you

211
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 3: have to quickly get you have to pour the brittle

212
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 3: out and let it kind of set. And if it's

213
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 3: not the right temperature, and I screwed it up a

214
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 3: couple of times, it's terrible. But if it's the right temperature,

215
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: it's it's the quality of like a bakery or a

216
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 3: dessert shop.

217
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 5: Maybe a new nickname, the Willy Wonka of late night radio.

218
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 3: Well, thank you, and I'm I'm my next thing, and

219
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: maybe I'll do this today and we can talk about

220
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 3: it later on on the podcast.

221
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: If I do, maybe i'll do it tomorrow. But it's

222
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: he I'm gonna do a brittle, but macadamia nut brittle.

223
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's Hawaiian style.

224
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 3: So that yeah, because I had that when I was

225
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 3: a little kid, we went on a family vacation to Hawaii.

226
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 3: I didn't appreciate Hawaii because I didn't want to go.

227
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 3: It was a long flight. I didn't, you know, a

228
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 3: fat kid at the beach. But the thing my mom

229
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 3: gave me that I still remember and I loved it

230
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 3: was the Macadamian nut brittle that that was so good?

231
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it was so amazing. I still remember it,

232
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 3: and I don't really I haven't had it outside of Hawaii.

233
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: So that's my new as my grandfather will say, michigos

234
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 3: that I'm gonna mess around with.

235
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 1: I am such a radio loser. A couple of the

236
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: foody nottes quickly.

237
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: McDonald's Canada has added new hot honey mccrispy sandwich to

238
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 3: the menu. Hot nuts, yeah, so will that be coming

239
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 3: to a Meca? A Mahka CAFC has introduced new honey

240
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 3: barbecue wraps with a new spicy mac and cheese wrap.

241
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: I think I'm good on that.

242
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 3: There are five McDonald's pies to try around the world.

243
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 3: Does that interest you at all? Five McDonald's pies to

244
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 3: try around the world. In Malaysia they have a banana

245
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 3: caramel pie that actually doesn't sound bad. It could be

246
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:55,599
Speaker 3: all right, Oh this sounds terrible. Japan beef stew pie. Yeah,

247
00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 3: what are they doing in Japan? Come on, nasty? This

248
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 3: one's in the in Ireland. In the UK, you can

249
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 3: get Galaxy caramel pie, crispy deep fried chocolate pastry, pie

250
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 3: filled with caramel sauce. It does look like the original

251
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 3: apple pie. The crust on it looks like the original

252
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 3: apple pie. Let's see what else do it?

253
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 5: That kind of stuff all looks so gross to me. Now,

254
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 5: maybe a little bite of it. I can't believe I

255
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 5: used to eat crap like that, like the old dessert.

256
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you're better not.

257
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 3: I'll only give you a brittle like once a year

258
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 3: unless you want more than again.

259
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 4: Be my brittle pusher.

260
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 3: The ovaltine pie available in Hong Kong. That is one

261
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 3: of the most disgusting things I have ever recently looked at.

262
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 3: Here a chocolate crust, chocolate filling, but it's all like ovaltine.

263
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 4: Hard pass on that.

264
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm good on that, all right?

265
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 3: So that ends the foody fun portion of the podcast,

266
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 3: but there is more to go. For example, this is

267
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 3: the Saturday part to a Life of Mallard, Life of

268
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 3: Danny G. So we had a staycation last weekend, the

269
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 3: last weekend of twenty twenty three. Me and the wife

270
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 3: pretended that we were like La tourists that had a

271
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 3: grand time. We were grubbing around La Destination Pastrami paradise,

272
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 3: which means Langer's Delhi talk about it every once in

273
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 3: a while. I go there every once in a while

274
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 3: on the podcast A Slice of Delicatess in Heaven.

275
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: Right across from MacArthur.

276
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 4: Park in LA.

277
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 3: You can get any kind of you know, fake id's

278
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 3: or drugs or contraband in that park during the and

279
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 3: then if you go back at night, Danny, you can

280
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: get shanked.

281
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 4: Got a murder.

282
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: So it's really whatever you need. They got a little

283
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: bit of everything.

284
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 3: And the way I look at this, if you're going

285
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 3: to charge almost thirty dollars for a pastrami sandwich, it

286
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 3: better be good, right, it better be good. This place

287
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 3: is amazing. It's better than the New York delis. And

288
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 3: I just learned that last year. We went to the

289
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 3: to New York to visit my my brother for my

290
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 3: niece's graduation from from high school.

291
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: So we were there for like.

292
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 3: A week, you know, we went did that whole thing,

293
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 3: and and we went to the famous Kats's Deli, which

294
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 3: had been my favorite New York Delhi, and it hailed

295
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 3: in comparison to Langers. I don't know what they do

296
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 3: there that's so good now that I'm gonna have to

297
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 3: go back to New York next time and try some

298
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 3: other delicate testants.

299
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: So maybe some of you guys who.

300
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 3: Are in the New York area, let me know what

301
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 3: your favorite delicate testant is, and I'll give it a shot.

302
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 3: I was always gone to Kats and wasn't that good.

303
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 3: But this place in La Is Nuts, it's it's just wonderful.

304
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 3: And so that's how we started our day. We waited online.

305
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 3: There was a line to get in. You have to

306
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 3: eat lunch there because you can't have dinner. The thing

307
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 3: closes at four o'clock. It's that bad a neighborhood. They

308
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 3: close at four o'clock. You don't want to be there

309
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 3: when it gets starting, you know, you just want to

310
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 3: get out of there because it's just terrible. The next

311
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 3: stop was the Neon Lights, and that's Glendale Bro, Glendale Bro.

312
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: I used to love.

313
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 3: Working out at the gym in Glendale. I enjoyed that

Speaker 1: Well, I didn't know, but i'd heard about it.

00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 3: that kind of moved a neon win with winning wire.

352
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 3: It was called There was the La Pama Chicken sign,

353
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 3: which was pretty funny. This is like a bunch of

354
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 3: like random random stuff.

355
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: That was was pretty cool. So so there was that.

356
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 3: Enjoyed that and from there we are last stop we

00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 3: we we hung out at the Grand Central Market more

358
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 3: and that maybe later. But it was not in the face, Dan,

359
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 3: I mean, the food was in the face, but that

360
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 3: was about it. That was all that was in the face.

361
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 4: In the face that went down your pie hole is

362
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 4: what that food did. Hello, did you.

363
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 5: And your wife split the thirty dollars pastrami or you

364
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 5: each had your own?

365
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I'm a cheap soob So we did

366
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 3: split because and but it wasn't because of that.

367
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 4: Well that's all. I'm not hating on that. That's a

368
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 4: veteran move.

369
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like it was really expensive and we

370
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 3: were planning on kind of grazing like cattle. So we

371
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 3: figured we were going to eat again. So let's not

372
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 3: spoil our. You know, we want to head. We wanted

373
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 3: to have room, so we did split. That's the way

374
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 3: to go, just to taste of the base exactly. Now

375
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 3: our very first parent fail. Oh yeah, let's back up

376
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 3: the last week of December, a couple of days before

377
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 3: the new year. Baby CoA drooling because he's teething. He

378
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 3: needed a bath, and she's like doing baby talk to him. Oh,

379
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 3: I'm gonna wash her here, I'm gonna clean it. I'm

380
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 3: gonna clean your poop.

381
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 5: But so she wraps him up, she runs the warm

382
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 5: bath water, gets him in there. I hear him splashing

383
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 5: around having fun. I'm watching some TV in the bedroom

384
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 5: as she's in the bathroom, you know, giving him a bath,

385
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 5: and I hear.

386
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: Oh, no, oh, no, oh no. Yeah, you don't want to.

387
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: You don't want to never, it's not something you're looking for.

388
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I run into the bathroom, the light on, her

389
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 5: phone on and it in his face, and I'm like,

390
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 5: what is going on?

391
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 4: What happened?

392
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 5: She took baby body wash, started by washing his arms

393
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 5: in his hands, and CoA immediately took his hand and

394
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 5: directly put his hand right into his eye.

395
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: Oh no, the face in the face, the face. No,

396
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: you don't want to eyes cor Oh boy, man, he

397
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: see those things come on.

398
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 5: My mom liked to say everything was a bloody murder scream.

399
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 4: It really was.

400
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 5: Though he had this big red ring around his eye.

401
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 5: It wasn't even half open. Quickly googling what to do

402
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 5: when you get soaked directly into the baby's eye, and

403
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 5: the Internet says to flush the eye out with room

404
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 5: temperature water for ten to fifteen minutes. Okay, yeah, we

405
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 5: got him leaned down and we are rinsing the eye out.

406
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 5: But remember he's still wrapped in a towel. There's there's

407
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 5: no way we could get him all the way dry,

408
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 5: and now we are getting him even more wet to

409
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:12,479
Speaker 5: the face and he's out of the warm bathtub. Uh So, now,

410
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 5: besides that red eye and us examining the eye every

411
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 5: few minutes after that to make sure he was okay.

412
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 5: The next day he came down with a cold.

413
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 4: Boom goes to dynamite.

414
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 5: Ah, double parent fail daily, double poor a guy. And

415
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 5: it's not as old school as it used to be

416
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 5: with getting the mucus out of the baby's nostrils.

417
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: Uh huh, because.

418
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 5: Obviously the little baby, they don't know how to blow

419
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 5: their nose.

420
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, get a cold.

421
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 5: It's horrible because you have to take it almost looks

422
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 5: like a turkey baster and you have to jab that

423
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 5: into their nostrils and suck the mucus out.

424
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 1: Ah, it's terrible.

425
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 3: And the thing that sucks when you're a kid, like

426
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 3: he's got to get sick a bunch of times to

427
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 3: get kind of get. I don't know what's the term

428
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 3: I'm looking for you, but you gotta get. You gotta

429
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 3: get sick, and then your body kind of adjusts to

430
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 3: certain things and you get sick less.

431
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, that's how it works, right, you gotta.

432
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 5: Yeah for sure, And this is his first experience with

433
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 5: ever being sick. But now they have and it plays music,

434
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 5: and I'm convinced that he's gonna have this traumatic memory

435
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 5: of this music. It's digital. It's a digital nose suckers

436
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:27,479
Speaker 5: and it actually it has a light and it plays music. Really,

437
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 5: so here comes my better half, you know, walking towards

438
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 5: him with this thing with a light flashing and music playing.

439
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 5: The first time he saw he got excited because he

440
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 5: thought it was a new toy. Now when he sees

441
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 5: that thing, he screams and if he could run, he

442
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 5: would have been running. Kind So this thing is like

443
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 5: a suction cup kind of like that. Have you seen that?

444
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 4: What do they call it? A nuvage? For adult?

445
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 3: Oh?

446
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I have seen yeah.

447
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 5: Little mini version of that. But for baby, he's finally

448
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 5: getting over it right now, but he is not one

449
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 5: happy camper, especially with getting his nostrils cleaned out.

450
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:09,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, that sucks.

451
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 4: Double parent fail.

452
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 5: Though it was was not a fun or a memorable

453
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 5: New Year's Eve.

454
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm looking at the Yeah, that's not that thing's

455
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 3: kind of the the vaje thing.

456
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: They have a baby version. That's the that's not good,

457
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 1: all right.

458
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 3: Opposition research, opposition research. I would go back to the

459
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 3: Grand Central Market. We stopped by the Grand Central Market

460
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 3: on her way on our staycation after the Neon Museum.

461
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 3: Have you ever been to the Grand Central Market on

462
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 3: Broadway in downtown.

463
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: Have you been down there?

464
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 4: I was there as a kid.

465
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 3: Like I've lived in La my entire life. I lived

466
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 3: like a mile two miles away from there in Lincoln Heights,

467
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 3: and I never had never been there.

468
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: I don't know how I let it up there.

469
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 4: It's a pretty cool spot.

470
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 3: It is it is, and I've never been there. It's

471
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 3: a tourist trap, I guess at this point. And there's

472
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 3: like around forty restaurants, just a little kiosk type things

473
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 3: for restaurants, and they have this place which supposedly has

474
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 3: the greatest cheeseburger in Los Angeles called for the win.

475
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 3: So what do you think I did?

476
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 4: Danny?

477
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: What do you think I did?

478
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 5: You sampled the cheeseburger.

479
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: I did not what I did?

480
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 3: I stood there because they have an open kitchen, and

481
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 3: I did opposition research. I studied how they make the

482
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 3: number one cheeseburger in Los Angeles, the smash boog.

483
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 4: Of those little spy cameras.

484
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: No, it was.

485
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 3: Funny because I didn't really feel like a burger. But

486
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 3: I like to make smash burger because I have a griddle,

487
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 3: so I love making smash burgers and I like I

488
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 3: can make them better. So I was like, I was fixating.

489
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 3: My wife said, well, are you good at smashburger? I'm like, well,

490
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 3: I don't even feel like, but I'm just I want

491
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 3: to see how they make them because this is supposedly

492
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 3: the top place in Los Atas. So I was watching

493
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 3: how the guy behind the griddle was making the burgers

494
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 3: and the techniques that he was using. And I took

495
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 3: this opposition research and I started playing around. And I've

496
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 3: got a little more to fine tune how I make them.

497
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 3: I have to go to a chef's shop at some

498
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 3: point here. There's a different burger smasher I need to get.

499
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 3: I'm gonna mimic the one they have at that restaurant,

500
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 3: but looking forward to messing around see if I can

501
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 3: make If I can make the perfect burger at the house,

502
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 3: I don't have to go and pay fifteen dollars for

503
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 3: a cheeseburger at a you know.

504
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 5: A candy thermometer and a special burger smasher. Your mom

505
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 5: would love this. You would know you had never thought

506
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 5: in one hundred years you'd be shopping for items like this.

507
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 3: If anyone that knew me when I was like in

508
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 3: my early twenties to think that here I am. I

509
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 3: guess I'm middle aged. I hope maybe not probably past

510
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 3: middle age. But my god, what have I done with

511
00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 3: my life?

512
00:25:59,200 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: Back then?

513
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 4: You were just drive through Smasher.

514
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: Oh, I draw, I knew.

515
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 3: I had the Windy's that night, I had the del Taco,

516
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 3: I had the McDonald's night, the Carl's Junior Night.

517
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 1: I had a little night for everything. Other restaurants.

518
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 3: They had the Lucky Bird, Fried chicken, sandwich place, McConnell's

519
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 3: ice cream, which is that famous place from Santa Barbaro.

520
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 4: That's good.

521
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, donut Man. I used to live near the original

522
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 3: donut Man. I used to live out in the San

523
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 3: Gabriel Valley in Glendora, in the San Gabriel Valley part

524
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 3: of La Sticky Rice. That looked pretty good. There were

525
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 3: a lot of Mexican places I'd never heard of. There

526
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 3: was a deli, Wexler's Deli, which is supposedly famous, but

527
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 3: it's pretty cool. So a grand central market and a

528
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 3: lot of cities have this kind of place, and they

529
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 3: have it, like in Philly they've got a famous market.

530
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: San Francisco, Seattle. I didn't even know this thing.

531
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 3: It was around in LA. So it was pretty pretty cool, right,

532
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 3: we'll get out on that. It is Saturday today, the

533
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 3: sixth day of the month of January. A couple of

534
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 3: NFL games. I'll be watching those. Anything else going on

535
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 3: with you, Danny today? Anything special?

536
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 5: Ah NFL and using that mucus sucker on co Hopefully man,

537
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 5: hopefully this is over in a couple of days, Ben,

538
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 5: because I swear this is the one part of being

539
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 5: a parent that I didn't want in my life. Having

540
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 5: to bring little kids to urgent care and doctor's appointments,

541
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 5: all that sort of thing was one of the reasons

542
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 5: I didn't want kids for all those years. But the

543
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 5: flip side of it is you have a wonderful kid

544
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 5: and they bring a lot of joy to your life.

545
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's wherever they'll you know, it calls when he's older.

546
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 3: It once you're like really old. Hopefully Cole will still

547
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 3: take care of you, right, love.

548
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 4: You and all.

549
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 5: Oh and as soon as he's like nine or ten,

550
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 5: he can drive himself to the urgent care.

551
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 3: That's a good move. You know, about ten years old,

552
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 3: that's old enough to drive. You know, you should be fine. Yeah,

553
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 3: all right, have a wonderful Saturday, thank you, will have

554
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,960

557
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,320
