Speaker 1: Kabbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The clearing House of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 3: In the a eywhere The Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler
Speaker 3: and Danny G. We thank you for following this podcast,
Speaker 3: paying attention to the podcast, actually listening to the podcast
Speaker 3: as we kick off the first weekend of the news
Speaker 3: show the new Year, the.

Speaker 3: Danny G is hanging out. I know this is the
Speaker 3: highlight of your this and having to do multiple jobs today,
Speaker 3: but here we are, Danny, we're gonna make the most
Speaker 3: of it, right, We're gonna make the.
Speaker 1: Most of it.
Speaker 4: Multiple jobs and a baby that's teething, which, as all
Speaker 4: parents know, it's a lot of fun, A good thing.
Speaker 4: He's cute and adorable. Otherwise I would put tape over
Speaker 4: his mouth.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, the baby knows that he has you and
Speaker 3: your wife in the palm of his hand.
Speaker 1: So there is that. There is that.
Speaker 3: On this podcast, we have a Box from the Bay,
Speaker 3: a Jim Mora classic, the Word of the Week, and
Speaker 3: foody fun.
Speaker 1: So that's the plan. Now.
Speaker 3: I don't know if we'll get to all that. We
Speaker 3: probably won't, write, Dan, we usually don't get to everything.
Speaker 4: To about seventy percent of whatever you promise. Yeah, yeah, well.
Speaker 1: That's always the problem.
Speaker 3: See, that's the problem is like I spend too much
Speaker 3: time thinking about what can we talk about on the podcast,
Speaker 3: and then when we actually have to do the podcast,
Speaker 3: because we follow the goal then rule of podcasting thirty minutes.
Speaker 3: There's a sweet spot give or take within five minutes
Speaker 3: margin of error.
Speaker 1: Thirty minutes for a podcast.
Speaker 3: That's the We're not doing Joe Rogan's seven hour podcasts
Speaker 3: over here, Okay, we're not because no, no.
Speaker 4: This is perfect for a workout, for a walk, for
Speaker 4: a commute. That's what this is for. And by the way,
Speaker 4: if I can take two minutes, ben, Yes, what is
Speaker 4: the cutoff date for people saying Happy New Year?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: I learned this from Larry David. The cutoff is, like
Speaker 3: I think it's three days.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 4: That's what I think too. Hey, hear this a lot
Speaker 4: on the radio. Your show and Covino and Rich. We
Speaker 4: don't have guests, Yeah, we don't have boring writers or
Speaker 4: boring this or boring that talking. But I've heard guests
Speaker 4: on a couple of different networks and they say happy
Speaker 4: New Year, like a couple of weeks into the new year.
Speaker 4: Stop it, as Rob Parker would say, stop it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a little much. It's ill much. I don't
Speaker 1: people want to be light. I get it.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 3: It's like it's like when people call radio shows and
Speaker 3: still say how you doing?
Speaker 1: You know that kind of thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it would be like this is a radio show
Speaker 4: and I'm like joining us? Is that blow hard? Bed Mallard?
Speaker 4: You come on and you say, by the way, Danny,
Speaker 4: happy New Year. And I look at my watch and
Speaker 4: it's January twelfth.
Speaker 1: Yeah no.
Speaker 3: And the funny thing about that, I don't want to
Speaker 3: go down a soapbox, but I think I'm going down
Speaker 3: a soapbox. I believe I'm about to go down a soapbox.
Speaker 3: I don't want to do it, but I'm gonna go
Speaker 3: do it. So I love this because one of the
Speaker 3: old I don't think we are on there anymore, but
Speaker 3: one of the old Fox.
Speaker 1: Sports radio affiliates.
Speaker 3: This goes back probably twenty yeah, about twenty years, so
Speaker 3: I don't I think it's changed formats the station.
Speaker 1: But this is great. This is great.
Speaker 3: So I was curious, like, what was the first radio
Speaker 3: station that they put on a delight? The DeLay's been
Speaker 3: around for seventy two years in radio, and it was
Speaker 3: WKAP in Allentown, Pennsylvania, which at one point was a
Speaker 3: Fox Sports radio affiliate. I think it's flipped to like
Speaker 3: a news talk format. But in nineteen fifty two, we've
Speaker 3: discussed this.
Speaker 1: I just want to make it. I don't talked about
Speaker 1: in a while.
Speaker 3: But in nineteen fifty two they started a talk show
Speaker 3: called Open Mic, and it was the first time a
Speaker 3: telephone call in show had been broadcast on radio. They
Speaker 3: never broadcast a telephone conversation before live on the air.
Speaker 3: But the government, big brother, they had all these rules.
Speaker 1: A federal committer Cacier Commission.
Speaker 3: They prohibited the broadcasting of a live telephone conversation, couldn't
Speaker 3: do it, but allowed, and so there was there was
Speaker 3: no rule though prohibiting taped playback. So they they figured
Speaker 3: out they had a beep tone that was heard by
Speaker 3: the every like fifteen seconds b you know, like that
Speaker 3: kind of thing. So the caller was where they were
Speaker 3: being recorded. But that's that was the original Delay and Rado.
Speaker 3: But at the point is it's been around for seventy years,
Speaker 3: the Delay system talk radio, and people still are like, hey,
Speaker 3: you know, you know it's like and they still crack.
Speaker 3: This week we had a lot of potty mouth on
Speaker 3: the Overnight Danny. We had guys saying shit and fuck
Speaker 3: and all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I had a guy the other day talking
Speaker 4: about mustache ride.
Speaker 1: Oh is that right? Oh boy?
Speaker 3: Like I think at the point now, and I said
Speaker 3: this this week on the Overnight Show Danny, I said,
Speaker 3: you know, what are we doing here?
Speaker 4: The S word?
Speaker 1: We should be allowed. I think that one we should
Speaker 1: be allowed.
Speaker 3: I get like in the we're on on the Bible
Speaker 3: belt and people will get upset by certain things.
Speaker 1: But the S word, to me, that's com Yeah.
Speaker 4: And I guess if it's not blatantly obvious to a
Speaker 4: kid in a car like I guess I wouldn't want
Speaker 4: my little son saying daddy what's a mustache ride? But
Speaker 4: it was on It was on topic because Rich has
Speaker 4: this technique that he calls the mustache stall. And I
Speaker 4: don't know if you saw the funny clip from Yiannis
Speaker 4: saying that the Pacers are in his head so much
Speaker 4: because they've been beating the Bucks lately. He even thinks
Speaker 4: about them when he's in the bedroom during freaky time.
Speaker 4: So Rich, when he thinks he's gonna finish too soon,
Speaker 4: he thinks of an eighties baseball player with a bad mustache,
Speaker 4: Bill Buckner, Bill Buckner, worst mustache Eighties baseball. Yeah, we
Speaker 4: came up with a few roley fingers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just like Eddie mustache. Well, there were a lot
Speaker 1: of Likeke Mike. Mike Schmidt had a big, burly mustache.
Speaker 1: I was a solid mustache.
Speaker 4: There was this dude I saw on the internet, Rick Sweet. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 4: google Rick Sweet, or I can send you the photo.
Speaker 4: Oh my god. Uh what were some of these dudes.
Speaker 3: Thinking, Oh, yeah, okay, yeah, I got a photo here.
Speaker 4: Rick Sweet, former Mariner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's he's got a lot of good facial jeans there.
Speaker 4: He's imagine a huge eyebrow. Yeah, I oh my god,
Speaker 4: I guess I'll have to post it on my Twitter feed,
Speaker 4: but it's uh, it's impressive. That would definitely throw my
Speaker 4: train of thought off if I thought about that dude's mustache.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's well. Remember the Giants and the guy played
Speaker 3: with the Dodgers too. Was it Mark Wilson? Remember Mark Wilson?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it was more recently though he
Speaker 4: lived in a He lived in a Volkswagen bus.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, so, but I remember he like he was
Speaker 3: just a regular guy. He didn't have the beard, and
Speaker 3: then he went for the beard, and that's when he
Speaker 3: kind of became known as a headline player.
Speaker 1: He was actually are Remember there was.
Speaker 4: Such a big black beard. It looked fake.
Speaker 1: There was a guy. Yeah, yeah, it did look like
Speaker 1: he painted it.
Speaker 3: Well have you seen yah? I know this is off topic,
Speaker 3: but James Harden. Have you seen photos of Harden at
Speaker 3: Arizona State before he was he wore the beard.
Speaker 4: Doesn't even look right. It looks spony. It looks like
Speaker 4: a photoshop.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he liked like, goofy, I go weird. There was
Speaker 3: another guy not from the eighties, though this is probably
Speaker 3: from the early two thousand, Jason Worth. Remember Jason Worth
Speaker 3: with the Phillies.
Speaker 4: Oh of course. Yeah.
Speaker 3: He looked like like he was a bear or something
Speaker 3: like that, like a big bear box from the Bay
Speaker 3: I box somebody. So this is a wild one. I
Speaker 3: was in the studio this week. I returned. I saided
Speaker 3: since I was the holidays and I worked some over
Speaker 3: the holidays, I decided to work remotely. But I came
Speaker 3: back in this week because the holidays are over, picked
Speaker 3: up some mail hadn't gone. I haven't even gone through
Speaker 3: all of it yet. So if you did send something, man,
Speaker 3: do I thank you?
Speaker 1: Man? Is that cool? Thank you so much. But I've
Speaker 1: been so busy with everything, I haven't had time to
Speaker 1: go through everything.
Speaker 3: And so one of the items I did open is
Speaker 3: this big box from the Bay Big Box.
Speaker 1: So inside I found this note. Just dropped it.
Speaker 3: That's trying to be rush limball, all right, So the
Speaker 3: crinkled paper effect.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not annoying, is it.
Speaker 3: So anyway, I got this note in the box what's
Speaker 3: in the box?
Speaker 1: And inside I found this note what's.
Speaker 3: In the box?
Speaker 1: What's in the box?
Speaker 3: It's Ernesto in the Bay Area, Big fan of the show,
Speaker 3: Super Fans Show and Ernesto in the Bay Area says,
Speaker 3: if the forty nine Ers beat the Rams in the
Speaker 3: last game of the season, you have to wear this
Speaker 3: forty nine er hat and for a day of work,
Speaker 3: and it has to be on the YouTube videos for
Speaker 3: the show that you have to put the hat on
Speaker 3: for the YouTube videos. Evidence is required. So then we
Speaker 3: I realized we had made this bet on the air.
Speaker 3: But I thought we were kind of kidding around. I
Speaker 3: didn't think he would actually follow through it.
Speaker 4: But he sent you a forty winer hat.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, not just a I mean this is a
Speaker 3: solid like, this is like a really nice like it's
Speaker 3: a fitted hat with its my size.
Speaker 1: It's white, racist with that ugly forty.
Speaker 3: Nine or logo on it. And so we did make
Speaker 3: this bet on the air. It's all kosher. We made
Speaker 3: the bet on the air, and I am a man
Speaker 3: of my word. Did Now, this is a dog food game.
Speaker 3: The Rams are playing Carson wentz Kyron Williams, Cooper Cup,
Speaker 3: Aaron Donald are not playing on Sunday. The forty nine
Speaker 3: Ers are going with Sam Darnold Brock perties not gonna play,
Speaker 3: and from what I'm told, most of their starters are
Speaker 3: going to just play a little bit and then they're
Speaker 3: gonna play backups like McCaffrey's not gonna play at all.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, this is an extra reason to root against
Speaker 4: the Niners because if the Niners lose, the wild card
Speaker 4: picture could look a little bit more exciting for US viewers.
Speaker 3: No, obviously, with the Rams and win, I don't want
Speaker 3: to have to wear this hat. I mean it's a
Speaker 3: nice hat. I I mean it's it would be great.
Speaker 3: I do want to thank her and Essa. If I
Speaker 3: did not load the Niners for haunting my childhood as
Speaker 3: a fan, this would be a great item. But the
Speaker 3: Niners to me and football are Poultergeist because growing up
Speaker 3: as a kid, the Rams had really good teams. They
Speaker 3: had solid teams in the late eighties and the nineties,
Speaker 3: early nineties, I would say too far into the early nineties,
Speaker 3: but they had pretty good teams in the late eighties
Speaker 3: early nighties. Like it stopped around ninety one or ninety two,
Speaker 3: I think, and then they became just terrible. But that
Speaker 3: happened to correspond parallel to the forty nine Ers having
Speaker 3: Bill Walsh, Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, Steve Young, Roger Craig,
Speaker 3: host of great defensive players like Ronnie Lott and all
Speaker 3: these guys and soup.
Speaker 4: And then Dickerson of course goes to the Colts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know. It was a depressing time. It
Speaker 1: was a depressing time.
Speaker 3: The Rams had Jerome Bettis and traded him to the
Speaker 3: Steelers and then he became a Hall of Fame player.
Speaker 3: And they also had Kevin Green who also ended up
Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh and became a Hall of Fame level player.
Speaker 3: But thank you or Nest though, very nice for the
Speaker 3: box from the base. So when you're watching the scores
Speaker 3: on Sunday, remember that if the Rams win, I'm good.
Speaker 3: But if the Rams lose, I got to wear this
Speaker 3: ugly forty nine er head. So that's the bet. Now
Speaker 3: we're gonna call this one a malor follow up. A
Speaker 3: malor follow up on the podcast more information from Eddie
Speaker 3: the Grinch of Christmas Past.
Speaker 1: So I began to tell this story a little bit
Speaker 1: on the air.
Speaker 3: I think we might have mentioned it here last week,
Speaker 3: but we don't think we got too far into it.
Speaker 3: So I was asked by a listener who heard the
Speaker 3: end of me telling the story on the Overnight show
Speaker 3: this week the other night to tell the story again.
Speaker 3: So I will tell you the truncated version. I will
Speaker 3: attempt to use brevity. If I've told this story before
Speaker 3: in the podcast, I apologize. But over the weekend, don't
Speaker 3: even know it was.
Speaker 1: Over the holidays, Eddie.
Speaker 3: I came back and Eddie was very braggadocious. He was
Speaker 3: telling me about he was all excited. He said, oh, yep,
Speaker 3: got my Christmas bonus. And so he's explaining to me.
Speaker 3: He's like, oh, yeah, yeah, I got this really cool
Speaker 3: gift card and the company sent it, and you know,
Speaker 3: I had a nice little note in there. And so
Speaker 3: then the he starts badgering, right, he starts badgering me
Speaker 3: to check my company email. I never checked my company.
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't believe in that. You know, that's the first
Speaker 3: thing they shut down when they get rid of I
Speaker 3: know that they got rid of me in nine, you know,
Speaker 3: fifteen years ago, and I still haven't forgotten. So I genuflected,
Speaker 3: and uh, because Eddie wanted me to. He kept saying, well,
Speaker 3: you got to get the gift card. Come on, buy
Speaker 3: something nice. So I was okay, you know what, if
Speaker 3: the company's nice enough to send me a holiday gift,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm going to log into my email.
Speaker 3: So I had to reset the pass word. I had
Speaker 3: to get a code text to my phone. There's a
Speaker 3: hole to do. And so I'm very excited.
Speaker 1: I was like, this is great. You know, I didn't
Speaker 1: expect anything from the company.
Speaker 3: You know, I do the show and they I thought
Speaker 3: they stopped giving holiday gifts a while ago. But Eddie said,
Speaker 3: you know, no, this is great. So I finally opened
Speaker 3: up my email and and I'm typing in. Eddie told
Speaker 3: me what to type in, like the name of the
Speaker 3: gift card and what words to type in.
Speaker 1: So I typed that in.
Speaker 3: Uh, And much to my amazement, Danny, this company my
Speaker 3: company bonus was it was there. It was a lump
Speaker 3: of coal, okay, Eddie. Eddie had bad info. It seems
Speaker 3: like the company did not give everyone a holiday bonus.
Speaker 1: In my mail, I found bumpkiss.
Speaker 3: I typed in seven different search terms to find said, uh,
Speaker 3: you know gift card. I got a Jim Moore classic
Speaker 3: Diddley poo. All right, I couldn't even get that. Actually,
Speaker 3: did le poo? Not a dead air? All was quiet
Speaker 3: on the Western front, Danny, I mean it's still as
Speaker 3: pond zero zip bo zilch. I don't know how many
Speaker 3: other ways I can say it. I think I've used
Speaker 3: all my ways of saying nothing, right, which I think
Speaker 3: nothing is the absence of something. So I guess I
Speaker 3: got something, but it's the absence of something.
Speaker 4: This has got to be a mistake because whenever I
Speaker 4: email our boss and in the subject line I write
Speaker 4: malor podcast, he gets back to me in at least
Speaker 4: twenty four days.
Speaker 3: So I asked the question, and you can answer this
Speaker 3: because you're tight with your boys, Covino and Rich. Did
Speaker 3: Covino and Rich get a holiday bonus?
Speaker 4: I'll have to check with him.
Speaker 1: I got one, you got you got one? I got one,
Speaker 1: Eddie got one.
Speaker 4: And the way that the email was worded is it
Speaker 4: made it sound like we all had that in our inbox.
Speaker 5: All right, let me see if I can log in
Speaker 5: hold on save me this right?
Speaker 4: Yeah, something is not right with your email.
Speaker 3: Well, no, it's the company email that I was assigned.
Speaker 3: It's got my formal name on it.
Speaker 5: I mean, hold, do a little dancing music here. No no, no, no,
Speaker 5: no no no no no.
Speaker 1: La la la l l l l l la la
Speaker 1: la la la la la la la la la la
Speaker 1: la la.
Speaker 5: Let's see here if I can find it.
Speaker 4: I'm opening up my email so I can see what
Speaker 4: was in the subject line.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, that'll help me out. But I Eddie, Eddie
Speaker 3: kind of like talk me through that, and I didn't.
Speaker 3: I don't find any so see here, Oh yep, I see.
Speaker 3: I tried to log in, and now they've got to
Speaker 3: text my phone. So now I gotta I gotta have that.
Speaker 4: Very that's normal. That's been like that for the past
Speaker 4: few years. I don't really every time we go into
Speaker 4: our work email, we have to put the code from
Speaker 4: our phone in. Yeah, very secure, not security DN.
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, all right, let's see if it's changed here.
Speaker 1: All right, they have text the code. We like to
Speaker 1: alert all.
Speaker 3: The listeners that we have received the code.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I typed in our bosses name so I can
Speaker 4: all of his emails. You stink that segment stunk.
Speaker 1: Why do you even show how.
Speaker 4: Did you do with Ben last weekend on the air.
Speaker 4: That's not the right one.
Speaker 5: That's probably wrong.
Speaker 3: All right, I am now into the the company email,
Speaker 3: is opening up Microsoft email.
Speaker 5: This is very exciting.
Speaker 3: Okay, uh yeah, that means I'm looking here. There's a
Speaker 3: lot of they send the news feed, which I never
Speaker 3: look at there's one from the Sager.
Speaker 4: Okay, I see it. I see it. It says happy
Speaker 4: Holidays to the Fox Sports Radio family.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, that seems that seems nice.
Speaker 1: So so happy holidays. I'll type that in.
Speaker 4: Happy Holidays with an exclamation mark was the title of
Speaker 4: their first email, the Two Big Bosses.
Speaker 1: Oh, it was from the Big Bosses.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 4: We are beyond grateful for what has been another fantastic
Speaker 4: year here at Fox Sports Radio. We're fortunate to have
Speaker 4: such a great group of people who who inspire creativity
Speaker 4: and collaborate to put out such a remarkable product. We
Speaker 4: really do take great pride on how wonderful FSR sounds,
Speaker 4: whether it's on the radio, via the live stream, on demand,
Speaker 4: via podcast, or in social video clips. FSR is at
Speaker 4: the top of the game. And it's thanks to all
Speaker 4: of you.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's very kind. That's very kind each of you.
Speaker 4: Wait, what is that? Except for the fifth hour podcast,
Speaker 4: The Animal Thunderdome coming in twenty twenty five, how dare
Speaker 4: they write that each of you will be receiving a
Speaker 4: one hundred dollars Amazon gift card.

Speaker 4: You can look by date too. It came in on
Speaker 4: Wednesday twelve, twenty, twenty twenty three.
Speaker 5: All right, gonna, I'm gonna look here.
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe maybe he sent it to my other email
Speaker 3: because it's not on my working man. All right, I
Speaker 3: just typed in our boss's email address, and there is
Speaker 3: there is no email. The last email I got from
Speaker 3: him was on twelve fifteen. Nothing on the twenty third
Speaker 3: in the email that I do check and I'm looking
Speaker 3: here through the inbox and I do not. I swear
Speaker 3: I do not. I'm gonna go back. I'm gonna go
Speaker 3: down here. Twenty you said, twelve twenty.

Speaker 1: Monsey that day.
Speaker 3: There was a wired email and I got a happy
Speaker 3: Holidays from Julie Talbot, she runs the Premiere Networks, but
Speaker 3: nothing from from Scott.
Speaker 5: Eh.
Speaker 1: What, I guess I'm not part of the family.
Speaker 4: I guess right now. That's got to be an oversight.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't know. So here's but how should
Speaker 1: I handle it?
Speaker 4: Though?
Speaker 1: That's the question? I bring it up?
Speaker 4: Or like, I mean yeah, yet, no, I would. I
Speaker 4: would be like, Hey, we were kind of goofing around
Speaker 4: on the air the other day and Eddie asked me
Speaker 4: about my gift card and I don't know what email
Speaker 4: you sent it to. Oh, there you go.
Speaker 1: See that's a good idea. See, that's a good idea.
Speaker 1: All right, you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: that's Friday.
Speaker 5: Though, what if?
Speaker 1: What if this becomes a big thing.
Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't want to think.
Speaker 4: I don't think it'll be a big thing till Monday.
Speaker 3: Monday might be a better day because he has my
Speaker 3: day off today the rest of the day. Once I'm
Speaker 3: done with this, you know anyway? All right, Well, I
Speaker 3: will on your You're a radio professional, Danny. You've been
Speaker 3: in the business as long as I have. So if
Speaker 3: you'd say I should reach out, I'm going to reach out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, there's no way unless this was something
Speaker 4: for the production staff. But no, because Eddie is an
Speaker 4: update anchor. So yeah, that tells me that that should
Speaker 4: have been in your email box as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I didn't get it, and so I just
Speaker 3: logged in again so that that'll impress the company. Now,
Speaker 3: then what about the junk It wouldn't be in the
Speaker 3: junk email because that's Scott's you know, I don't it would.
Speaker 4: Be I don't think, No, I don't think. So it
Speaker 4: would show the link for your card as the letter read,
Speaker 4: it'll show us an external email for the link, but
Speaker 4: that still should show up in your inbox right in
Speaker 4: front of you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Well the great mystery, the great the
Speaker 3: Jim Mora Diddley pooh, All right, well, I'm sure it's
Speaker 3: probably're probably right.
Speaker 1: It's just an oversight. It's probably an oversight.
Speaker 4: And I'm so happy though that I hitched myself to
Speaker 4: their number one priority at the network.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 1: We have the word of the week. Are you ready

Speaker 3: stall doing.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's what it meant. But over time, obviously
Speaker 3: the definitions have changed. The way it's been used is changed.
Speaker 3: But in America, I think that's where we are hanging
Speaker 3: out here. Stalwart became common in the United States polytical
Speaker 3: world in the late eighteen hundreds eighteen seventy seven through
Speaker 3: the next fifteen years or so, and the word stalwart
Speaker 3: was used in reference to factions, mostly for the Republican Party.
Speaker 3: It was considered if you were a stalwart, you were
Speaker 3: a partisan, you were uncompromisingly partisan, like you were just
Speaker 3: a blind and whatever the party wanted that you just
Speaker 3: did it. So that is a brief look at the
Speaker 3: word of the week.
Speaker 1: A stalwart.
Speaker 3: So I've said athletes are stalwarts, like I would go
Speaker 3: down the list. I'd be like, well, Bill Belichick not
Speaker 3: an athlete, a coach, but Bill Belichick is a stalwart
Speaker 3: of the Patriots, that whole thing. So anyway, that is
Speaker 3: the word of the week. We'll save some foody fun
Speaker 3: as we predicted, Danny, we didn't have time for foody
Speaker 3: fund but we'll get the foodie fun on the Saturday
Speaker 3: Pod with whatever else comes up.
Speaker 1: Have a wonderful rest.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 3: I don't think I promoted the TV show yet, have I?
Speaker 4: I think you did already?
Speaker 1: Did I? No, I don't think I did. That's a lot.
Speaker 1: That is a lie. I've not told you the TV
Speaker 1: show is back today.
Speaker 3: I know we'll be debuting tonight in Boston after the
Speaker 3: Celtics programming at eleven PM, and then another showing at
Speaker 3: twelve am, and we'll be on in Philly at ten pm,
Speaker 3: and and then US an encore showing at eleven thirty
Speaker 3: and in Chicago after the Bulls Hornets game. Doesn't get
Speaker 3: much more entertaining than Hornets and Bulls on NBC Sports
Speaker 3: Chicago will be on there at ten.
Speaker 4: O'clock on a DVR that game.
Speaker 1: In the Yeah, in the Windy City. And there's a
Speaker 1: bunch of other times.
Speaker 3: As Danny likes to say, check your local TV listings.
Speaker 3: And this is the week we will find out whether
Speaker 3: or not I beat the Penny in the first year
Speaker 3: of the television version of Benny Versus the Pennies?
Speaker 4: Is this the final close going to the wire?
