Speaker 1: Cutbooms.
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 Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 3: In the air.
Speaker 1: Everyway and welcome to the Fifth Hour with me, Big
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, Happy twenty third
Speaker 1: day of the month of June, as we celebrate being alive.
Speaker 1: It's National Detroit Style Pizza Day today Big Pizza Weekend
Speaker 1: here at National Detroit Style Pizza. I didn't even know
Speaker 1: that was a thing until a couple of years ago
Speaker 1: when one of the fast food chains Danny started marketing
Speaker 1: Detroit Style pizza. I knew about Chicago style, I knew
Speaker 1: about New York style. I'd never heard about Detroit Style.
Speaker 1: Probably within the last ten years. I was a grown
Speaker 1: ass man before I heard about Detroit Style Pizza. Didn't
Speaker 1: didn't know anything about it. It's also National Typewriter Day, today,
Speaker 1: So congratulations to those that own a typewriter.
Speaker 3: Did you see your parents use a typewriter back in
Speaker 3: the day.
Speaker 1: I did. My parents loved typewriters. I had to take
Speaker 1: I'm so old, you'reund my age, but we had typewriting class.
Speaker 1: We learned how to type, and we used typewriters in
Speaker 1: high school. They had a class that you had to take, and.
Speaker 3: Well they were digital I remember though at that time,
Speaker 3: like they switched them out to keyboards.
Speaker 1: Well, we still had They had purchased a bunch of typewriters,
Speaker 1: so they had a room filled with with typewriters. I
Speaker 1: saw Docum Goal was trying to save money. I saw
Speaker 1: a typewriter. Well, yeah, I saw a type documentary a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and it's like, it's kind of
Speaker 1: like station wagons. You know, there's a cult to people
Speaker 1: that own station wagons. There's a cult to people that
Speaker 1: are typewriter people, and they love the typewriter. And there
Speaker 1: are some very famous people that's still to this day,
Speaker 1: even in modern times, like Quentin Tarantino, I know he's old.
Speaker 1: Some of the other Hollywood types and creative people will
Speaker 1: use the typewriter.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's almost like a real DJ busting out old
Speaker 3: school turntables for show.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so it's National Typewriter Day. And the other
Speaker 1: fact that I believe to be true the keyboard on
Speaker 1: the typewriter. The reason the letters are the way they are,
Speaker 1: how messed up they are, they're not they don't make
Speaker 1: any sense right because you've got on your keyboard on
Speaker 1: the top row of keys you have the QWE R,
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera, and then online too you have
Speaker 1: the as D F G H j K L, then
Speaker 1: online three f z X. You know, I go on.
Speaker 1: But we talked about in the past. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you were with me or gag On who retired
Speaker 1: to Florida was with me. But the theory is the
Speaker 1: reason the keyboard is designed the way it is is
Speaker 1: because the typewriter door to door salesman, in order to
Speaker 1: impress people and sell typewriters, they made sure to put
Speaker 1: all the letters to spell typewriter on the top row
Speaker 1: of keys. So if you look at the keyboard, whether
Speaker 1: it's on any keyboard on your phone or keyboard on
Speaker 1: your laptop, whatever, on the top row, it has all
Speaker 1: the letters necessary to type the word typewriter and then
Speaker 1: they added they added Q in there. But the theory
Speaker 1: is when they designed the keyboard, it was a way
Speaker 1: to dazzle people when they were trying to sell the typewriter.
Speaker 1: It was a marketing move so they could sell more typewriters.
Speaker 3: I never wore story.
Speaker 1: The more you know, Danny, the more you know. But say,
Speaker 1: if you look at the I'm not making that up.
Speaker 1: People might think I'm making that up. If you look
Speaker 1: at your device, all the keys to spell the word
Speaker 1: typewriter are right there on the top row. And that was,
Speaker 1: as the legend goes, by design because they wanted one
Speaker 1: of the press. And think think if you were going
Speaker 1: to door to or and you were trying to sell
Speaker 1: typewriters and they're heavy and they're big, and you open
Speaker 1: them up and say, let me show you how easy
Speaker 1: it is, and I'll just I'll just as example, all right,
Speaker 1: typewriter and then they would do it. And yeah, that's
Speaker 1: my my fun factor. A lot of fun facts, a
Speaker 1: lot of fun facts on this podcast.
Speaker 3: Alph is very excited right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But the reason the keys are not in alphabetical order, now,
Speaker 1: there's another theory that that was just so they could
Speaker 1: prevent you know, jamming of the keys and all that.
Speaker 1: But originally they were going to have them in alphabetical order.
Speaker 1: But the typewriter's salesman theory, which I got actually from
Speaker 1: that that documentary I watched a few years ago, was
Speaker 1: pretty pretty good. I mentioned we're gonna get to the
Speaker 1: mail bag, but I mentioned the spinning of wheels. We
Speaker 1: did have a major update this past week the Malamobile.
Speaker 1: After a couple of weeks in the shop, I got
Speaker 1: the phone call that the car was ready to be
Speaker 1: driven back home, and I happily handed over the keys
Speaker 1: of the rental car with South Dakota plates. The entire
Speaker 1: back bumper had been replaced on the My car got
Speaker 1: rear ended driving back from a funeral of all places,
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks back. But this was actually an upgrade.
Speaker 1: The car looks better now than it did before the accident.
Speaker 1: The bumper. You know, the car that I drive a
Speaker 1: lot is a little older. It's get some wear and
Speaker 1: tear on it, and it had a few minor scrapes,
Speaker 1: and the paint was chipped a little bit and dense.
Speaker 1: But it's brand new and it's all painted and it
Speaker 1: looks amazing and it was great, and I wasn't at faults,
Speaker 1: so they had to pay might deductible and so they
Speaker 1: paid my deductible and we're good on that. And I
Speaker 1: did have to pay a little extra out of pocket
Speaker 1: to the rental car people because my great insurance did
Speaker 1: not cover the full cost of the rental car. But
Speaker 1: I'm I'm happy to have the original Malormobile back. And
Speaker 1: let's get to the mail bag. And that means, ohio aal,
Speaker 1: it's bag all right, thank you, OHI al. First one
Speaker 1: on the mail bag comes from Gary. Gary is in Pittsburgh,
Speaker 1: Bent Sylva. He says, Hey, Ben, I just finished listening
Speaker 1: to the third hour of the Tuesday Slash Wednesday pod
Speaker 1: and I heard something that I couldn't believe got swept
Speaker 1: under the rug. Now the headline of this email indicates
Speaker 1: that I might be losing it. So Gary tells me
Speaker 1: that he went back to listen to the podcast again
Speaker 1: to make sure he was not losing his mind he
Speaker 1: going crazy. He then wrote down the time. He says,
Speaker 1: at the twenty five thirty five mark, he heard Lorraine
Speaker 1: Ah in her high pitched feminine voice, state I love
Speaker 1: the sausage. There's a lot of meat. That is a
Speaker 1: lot of meat. And to my surprise, he says Gary,
Speaker 1: And to the surprise of no one, especially you, Ben yelled,
Speaker 1: that's a drop. Yeah, he said, nobody yelled that's a drop.
Speaker 1: Did you let it slide so it doesn't turn into
Speaker 1: a a necro situation from a Wokester or worse, an
Speaker 1: HR situation. I hope that's the case, and you are
Speaker 1: not getting soft. That's from Gary and Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3: Do I have your permission to insert the NCRO drop
Speaker 3: right here?
Speaker 1: Well? That's is this far enough into the podcast world? Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know about that.
Speaker 3: I'll do it towards the end of the podcast. Yeah,
Speaker 3: if you're.
Speaker 1: New to the show, there are a couple of pitchers
Speaker 1: back in the day, Joe Nicro and Phil Nicro, and
Speaker 1: they were knuckleball pitchers and I made a joke about
Speaker 1: them on the air and maybe Danny g maybe not
Speaker 1: made that into a drop, And every time it played
Speaker 1: I had some Wokester email me. I used to like
Speaker 1: your show. I can't believe you would be that racist.
Speaker 3: Let's just say that some people who have wax in
Speaker 3: their ears think that Ben was talking about the Negro leagues.
Speaker 1: Yes, they thought I would just boldly pump my chest
Speaker 1: out and say things that would be very offensive.
Speaker 3: To some, and we would never do that. Fox loves
Speaker 3: the negro leagues. They just had Birmingham. Yeah, yeah, deal
Speaker 3: with the MLB where Fox covered that game. That was
Speaker 3: an amazing thing they did to honor the negro leagues.
Speaker 3: I loved watching that game last week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Cardinals and Giants played there. But to answer your question,
Speaker 1: the main reason I didn't yell that's a drop is
Speaker 1: because Lorena, for whatever reason, doesn't believe in drops, and
Speaker 1: so I don't know what it's going to take to
Speaker 1: get her on board, but she I just kind of
Speaker 1: let that go. I would love for her to play
Speaker 1: more drops. I would really like that. I think it
Speaker 1: would be great. There is a balance, like I love
Speaker 1: Roberto too. I think Roberto played a little too many
Speaker 1: drops for a while there, and so that was a problem.
Speaker 1: But now we've gone from driving on the Autobahn to
Speaker 1: parking the car. We've done the complete, the complete one
Speaker 1: eighty and uh yeah, there's a lot of stuff now.
Speaker 1: I will also tell you Gary in Pittsburgh that it
Speaker 1: is empowering that I can say whatever I want now
Speaker 1: in any dumb thing will not be used against me
Speaker 1: because Coop doesn't put anything in the system. He's watching
Speaker 1: videos on his phone during the show, barely paying attention.
Speaker 1: And Lorena, you know, she doesn't play the drops, and
Speaker 1: so there's really no one there to bother putting the
Speaker 1: drops in.
Speaker 3: So but you know what, I gave Lorena a homework assignment.
Speaker 3: She is listening to this fifth hour podcast every weekend
Speaker 3: to see where the drops go and what kind of
Speaker 3: drop should be played.
Speaker 1: I was impressed by the size. I'm not gonna lie, Danny,
Speaker 1: that was a big cock. Yeah. No, Loraina is wonderful,
Speaker 1: but when it comes to drops, that's just not her.
Speaker 3: Jam No, don't try to backpedal and call her wonderful now,
Speaker 3: because you know she's listening.
Speaker 1: Well, I said, but when you say, but everything before
Speaker 1: the butt's a lie. True, So everything I just said
Speaker 1: was a lie before the word butt. Thank you, Gary, though,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you pay that close attention to the podcast.
Speaker 1: Alf from the app store says, hey, Ben, where will
Speaker 1: you and Danny or Daddy g Daddy get your Arby's fixed?
Speaker 1: Now that that iconic Arby's Hollywood location has been shut down.
Speaker 1: It says Mark, the full name guy does not approve
Speaker 1: this message. Yeah, we talked about that on the Friday
Speaker 1: pod alf. We talked about that Arby's location. I spent
Speaker 1: many a night online. That was a very poorly designed Arby's.
Speaker 1: There a small drive through, but I spent a lot
Speaker 1: of nights that's so. I used to get the big
Speaker 1: Montana that was like a pound of their fake Is
Speaker 1: that real with fake.
Speaker 3: Meat in your hand? Back there? It was a mini Montana.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the curly fries, I got those. They had used
Speaker 1: to et at Arby's semi regularly, and that was the location. Now,
Speaker 1: there wasn't Arby's when I grew up that I ate at,
Speaker 1: But as an adult I moved the Hollywood area. I
Speaker 1: lived there for about twelve years or something like that.
Speaker 1: I was in that area, So that was a long
Speaker 1: time of my life in my twenties and thirties, early
Speaker 1: thirties when I lived there, So I spent a lot
Speaker 1: of time, and I knew where all the fast food
Speaker 1: spots were, and that sign, that iconic sign, and right
Speaker 1: down the Pig and Whistles not far from there. It's
Speaker 1: a little bit down Hollywood Boulevard, but the pig and
Speaker 1: whistles not that far from there, so not bad. Alf
Speaker 1: also says, I forgot to send this to you last week,
Speaker 1: as it would have tied into your foody fund segment.
Speaker 1: I performed a surgical strike on my way home from
Speaker 1: work one day recently. Alf says, the key is that
Speaker 1: you need to use the app. You're talking about Arby's here.
Speaker 1: Use the app place an online order as well. I
Speaker 1: sent me some photos of receipts here. Get the deal.
Speaker 1: Because the app won't allow more than one offer per order.
Speaker 1: It says you need to be willing to forgo appetizers
Speaker 1: and order only sandwiches. But Alf did that and for
Speaker 1: five regular roast beef and two chicken sandwiches, it cost
Speaker 1: him less than twelve dollars. Less than twelve dollars with
Speaker 1: that little hack. But that's in Springfield, mass I'm guessing
Speaker 1: it'll be more in California. Ohough, Massachusetts is expensive, not
Speaker 1: at Springfield's not as expensive as Boston, though.
Speaker 3: It's also Arbi's food that you have to eat.
Speaker 1: Spairpoint. Spairpoint, a wild man of Morgantown, West Virginia writes,
Speaker 1: and he says, hey, Ben and Danny g Other than
Speaker 1: listening to your podcast, I also liked listening to some
Speaker 1: of my favorite old school stand up comedians. Some of
Speaker 1: my favorite Rodney Dangerfield, Sam Kinnison, and George Carlin. I
Speaker 1: know you mentioned some of them before even calling your show.
Speaker 1: Who is your favorite? Who makes you laugh every time?
Speaker 1: I was a huge Carlin fan I saw Carlin performed.
Speaker 1: He's the guy that used to call in. George Carlin
Speaker 1: would call in to sports radio as George from Venice
Speaker 1: and very random, but he loved local. He was a
Speaker 1: radio guy. Carlin was a radio guy before he was
Speaker 1: in the middle. But he was a radio guy before
Speaker 1: he became a comedian and actually left radio to go
Speaker 1: into comedy. Uh and he up until his you know,
Speaker 1: till his death. My friend Lee became friends with Carlin
Speaker 1: because Carlin was a fan of his show. So so
Speaker 1: there's that and then cool. Yeah. I was in a
Speaker 1: elevator with Rodney Dangerfield in Burbank, right across from Warner Brothers.
Speaker 1: I didn't say anything to him. I just stared at
Speaker 1: his face because I had seen it. He was he
Speaker 1: had made a comeback.
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 1: I was a kid, I was actually before I was alive.
Speaker 1: Dangerfield was a big star, but as a kid. Remember
Speaker 1: he did that back to College movie or something like that,
Speaker 1: Danny of course, Yeah, yeah, and that that was like
Speaker 1: a rebirth. Yeah, that was like a rebirth of Dangerfield.
Speaker 1: At the radio station we worked at in Burbank, thirty
Speaker 1: four hundred Riverside Drive. I remember the address, right across
Speaker 1: the street from Dults. Uh they. I was in an
Speaker 1: elevator and freaking Rodney Dangerfield was in the elevator with me,
Speaker 1: and I stared at But I'm just saying it was
Speaker 1: very awkward. He must have thought, what a loser this
Speaker 1: guy is, you know, I mean, I get no respect.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a story on my line.
Speaker 3: No respect.
Speaker 1: This guy. I won't even say my name. You want
Speaker 1: to talk to me?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're talking about the classic back to School by
Speaker 3: the way.
Speaker 1: There you go, Yeah, back to school. And I never
Speaker 1: ran in to Sam Kinnison, although I was told at
Speaker 1: the braa improv not far away from alf the Alien
Speaker 1: or not alf Our friend from Fullerton who annoys us
Speaker 1: as well with all these emails Mike from Fullerton, friend
Speaker 1: of Ferdog, that the last place Sam Kinnison performed before
Speaker 1: he met his demise on his way to Vegas was
Speaker 1: the Bray improv that he did as stand up set
Speaker 1: at the Bray inprov, got on the car to drive
Speaker 1: to Vegas and died on the way to Vegas.
Speaker 3: You know, Kennison was a big radio fan as well.
Speaker 3: He was a regular on a lot of FM music
Speaker 3: shows like afternoon Drive. DJs would have him in the
Speaker 3: studio and he'd do like funny drops for them. Rick Chase,
Speaker 3: that famous Afternoon Drive DJ in San Francisco, was buddies
Speaker 3: with him and Kennison was in his studio all the time.
Speaker 3: So as a little kid, it was awesome hearing Kennison
Speaker 3: on the radio.
Speaker 1: Remember hearing Kennison on with Howard Stern back in the
Speaker 1: back in the He'd pop up there every once in
Speaker 1: a while as well.
Speaker 3: So do you remember when comedians had vinyl records that
Speaker 3: our parents or grandparents would put on the record player. Yes,
Speaker 3: my stepdad had a Bill Cosby record that he played
Speaker 3: a lot, and Richard Pryor, he had Richard Pryor vinyl
Speaker 3: that played a lot in my house.
Speaker 1: A lot of people here might be offendive, so you
Speaker 1: should leave now go.
Speaker 3: I'm say fuck and suck.
Speaker 2: And shit and do do.
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. There's a guy that he killed himself,
Speaker 1: but he was pretty funny before that. Uh, what was
Speaker 1: this guy's I'm trying to think of it. He was
Speaker 1: around the time Chris Rock was coming up? Is it
Speaker 1: Richard Jenny? Does that name? Ring a bell?
Speaker 3: Does that?
Speaker 1: Does?
Speaker 3: Ring a Bell? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I liked his stuff a lot, but he he
Speaker 1: never really his career never took off for whatever reason.
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but I thought he was pretty
Speaker 1: funny back in there. But those are all time greats.
Speaker 3: Wild man.
Speaker 1: You got Carlin Kinnison and Rodney Dangerfield. That's just wonderful. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Jenny died back in two thousand and seven.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's been dead for a while, but he
Speaker 1: was a very funny man. I'm sure there's still some
Speaker 1: stuff on YouTube of his from back in the day.
Speaker 1: Next up is the aforementioned Mike from the academic mecca
Speaker 1: of Fullerton. Mike says, hey, Ben and Danny g I
Speaker 1: have a question about the Mallard meet and greet coming
Speaker 1: up in Vase. Yeah, we're doing a Mallor meet and greet.
Speaker 1: Danny August third in Lost Wages.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw this on your social media you're invited if.
Speaker 1: You want to come. I don't know if you want
Speaker 1: to make your way to Vegas. But Malard me ingreet
Speaker 1: in Vegas August third, and Mike says slug claimed the
Speaker 1: place that you're going at serves Mallard chicken fingers with
Speaker 1: honey mustard sauce. Do you know if they allow you
Speaker 1: to substitute the honey mustard for ranch dressing, that that
Speaker 1: could be a deal breaker for many of the people
Speaker 1: thinking about going. Yeah, we'll make sure they don't serve
Speaker 1: ranch stressing. I'll talk to the people when I get
Speaker 1: to the venue and I'll be like, hey, listen, it's
Speaker 1: a Mallard event. We cannot have the ranch dressing. We
Speaker 1: cannot have that. He also says, after hearing you bemoan
Speaker 1: all the Ivy League nerds and the Dodger Analytical Department,
Speaker 1: let me ask you this, would you rather have them
Speaker 1: or the DeVry and Itt tech nerds working for the Angels.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't bore you with all the numbers and all
Speaker 3: the things that they talked about about the OBP and
Speaker 3: the SLG and the ISO and name it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the Angels hired people from America Online
Speaker 1: and Netscape Navigator. That's what the Angels have in their
Speaker 1: analytics department. Yeah. Now I was complaining, Danny, because the
Speaker 1: LA Dodgers, the team that we both love, have nine
Speaker 1: pitchers currently that are hurt with major, some major, most major.
Speaker 1: Yamamoto's out, but you have Walker Buehler just got hurt again,
Speaker 1: although we think that's something else he'said. Tommy John surgery, Trice,
Speaker 1: Tony Gonsolin, Tommy John surgery, carrot top, He's Dustin may
Speaker 1: have major surgery. And so the thing that I brought
Speaker 1: up in my whole point, my hypothesis after a minutes
Speaker 1: long investigation, was how is it possible for the last
Speaker 1: ten plus years, the Dodgers have been coddling their pitchers.
Speaker 1: They've been limiting the number of pitches they throw, they've
Speaker 1: been limiting the number of innings they pitch. They've done
Speaker 1: everything you're in air quotes supposed to do to protect pictures,
Speaker 1: and it doesn't keep them from getting hurt. And I
Speaker 1: flashed back to something that Tommy John, the actual Tommy
Speaker 1: John who was on this podcast with me said, and
Speaker 1: other old time ballplayers that I've talked to who were pitchers,
Speaker 1: and they universally said, you've got to throw more, not less.
Speaker 1: You can't take as many days off. You don't have
Speaker 1: to worry the pitch count thing. You don't need to
Speaker 1: worry about it. Well, you're just a boomer. You don't
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about. Okay, Well, the smart people, allegedly,
Speaker 1: the wise people, the nuanced, knowledgeable people, have been running
Speaker 1: the Dodgers and handling the pitchers. How's that working out?
Speaker 1: How's it working out? Daddy? Answer the question? How do
Speaker 1: you like them? Apples? Uh? Oh boy?
Speaker 3: Anyway?
Speaker 1: Yeah, carried away there.
Speaker 3: At least bets, so Tani and Freeman. Oh wait, we
Speaker 3: don't have bets.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's true. Yeah, I heard. The rumor is
Speaker 1: they're not going to even put him back at shortstop.
Speaker 1: They're going to use this as an out and they're
Speaker 1: going to move him back to the outfield and they're
Speaker 1: going to trade for a shortstop at the deadline and
Speaker 1: bring somebody else into play shortstop.
Speaker 3: Sounds about right now, and they'll.
Speaker 1: Say, well, we don't want to get hurt and all that.
Speaker 1: But he didn't get hurt playing shortstop.
Speaker 3: Dan.
Speaker 1: He got hit by a pitch. It's not like he
Speaker 1: got hit by a line drive at shortstop. He got
Speaker 1: hit by a pitch that would have happened if he
Speaker 1: was in the outfield. A little rough, all right. Next
Speaker 1: one from Kwang in Vietnam. He says, big man and
Speaker 1: Danny g does a club sandwich stand for chicken lettuce
Speaker 1: under bacon? What say you? Well, this is random?
Speaker 3: Never heard of that in my life. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, this is the history of the club sandwich. According
Speaker 1: to Kwang, he says today a myth exists about the
Speaker 1: club sam much that it's spelling stands for chicken and
Speaker 1: lettuce under bacon. The origins of the acronym go back
Speaker 1: to the nineteenth century clubhouse in New York. The Saratoga
Speaker 1: Clubhouse in Saratoga Springs claimed it introduced the sandwich in
Speaker 1: eighteen ninety four, and the Union Club, located on Fifth
Speaker 1: Avenue in New York City added The Clubhouse added a
Speaker 1: clubhouse sandwich to its menu five years earlier. Now the
Speaker 1: Union Club. Stay with me. There'll be a test on
Speaker 1: this later. The Union Club sandwich served as a template
Speaker 1: for the modern day combination of two toasted slices of
Speaker 1: thin bread, turkey or chicken and ham in between. At
Speaker 1: the same time, the Saratoga Club claimed to have introduced
Speaker 1: this combination. You know, it sounds like the French Dip
Speaker 1: debate in La Yeah, we have a French dip battle
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles between Coals and what's the other place?
Speaker 1: Coal is in downtown your skid row and then near
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium's Philips. They've been battling it out for a while,
Speaker 1: it says. The recipe also specified cutting it into triangles
Speaker 1: to serve in the twentieth century. But wait, there's more
Speaker 1: everything you need to know about a club sandwich from
Speaker 1: our friend Kuang in Vietnam in the twentieth century.
Speaker 3: The rest of the time for drop right now out there.
Speaker 1: You The recipe also appeared in the Good Housekeeping Everyday Cookbook,
Speaker 1: this time with the choice of chicken or turkey or
Speaker 1: and tomato. The next year, the sandwich we made an
Speaker 1: appearance in the World's Fair and sales. Now, now that's
Speaker 1: the big thing. When you would appear at the World's
Speaker 1: Fair that way you've arrived and over the years it
Speaker 1: has become the thing. So thank you, Quain. That's way
Speaker 1: too much about the club sandwich, but we appreciate your
Speaker 1: interest in helping the show Steve from Toronto writes into
Speaker 1: the podcast. Yeah, he says, And by the way, if
Speaker 1: you want to email the podcast for a future episode,
Speaker 1: you can do it right now. You can do it tomorrow,
Speaker 1: you can do it next day. I recommend doing it
Speaker 1: right now because a lot of people forget. They forget
Speaker 1: to write in Andre's I meant to do that and
Speaker 1: I didn't get to it, so it takes like a minute.
Speaker 1: You send us a message. Step in Toronto says, Now
Speaker 1: that it's summer here in Toronto, I'm enjoying the nice
Speaker 1: weather and I want to know, would you guys rather
Speaker 1: lounge by the pool or hang out on the beach.
Speaker 1: So from Steve in Toronto, now, you can't go wrong
Speaker 1: with the pool or the beach. But I've become as
Speaker 1: i've gotten older, more of a beach guy as i've
Speaker 1: gotten older. When I was a kid, it was all
Speaker 1: about the pool. I love the pool, but something magical
Speaker 1: and it's really the Pacific, which is the superior ocean.
Speaker 1: I've spent a lot of time on the East Coast
Speaker 1: and gone to the Atlantic, and the Atlantic's fine, but
Speaker 1: it doesn't compare to the majestic nature of the Pacific. Ocean.
Speaker 1: So if I'm on the Pacific or if I'm somewhere
Speaker 1: in Hawaii or something like that. Oh man, all day
Speaker 1: and all night, Danny, what about you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess this one's kind of a toss up
Speaker 3: because I do like I'm not like, I love the beach,
Speaker 3: I love the ocean, but I don't like the sand
Speaker 3: and getting the sand in your sunscreen, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean. Like, there's a lot of.
Speaker 1: And other places.
Speaker 3: Yes, you find sand in crevices you didn't know your
Speaker 3: body had for days, so the sand could be a
Speaker 3: little messy when you're by the pool. The great part
Speaker 3: is if you're at a resort, especially you get pool
Speaker 3: side service. So you get a club sandwhich brought to you,
Speaker 3: You have drinks brought to you. That part of being
Speaker 3: by pool. You have a TV screen over at the
Speaker 3: bar that has like the football game on. That part
Speaker 3: of laying next to the pool is amazing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, those are all nice things. But if you go
Speaker 1: to a resort on the ocean, you can have maybe
Speaker 1: not a pool, but you can have people bring drinks
Speaker 1: to you and beach chares and all that. Regie Reggie
Speaker 1: from Detroit writes and he says, Ben, I saw that
Speaker 1: Google is teasing AI generated movies in the future. Is
Speaker 1: this progress or is this regression for movies? So I
Speaker 1: didn't see this story, Danny. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: guys talked about it on Covino and Rich, but he
Speaker 1: did send me a link here. Reggie, I would say
Speaker 1: this is regression. I think the whole point of art
Speaker 1: is it's created by humans. Am I wrong on that?
Speaker 1: Is that a bad take? I mean it's it's appreciating
Speaker 1: what another human being is doing, not what a robot's doing.
Speaker 3: Well in the shit we're stepping in or hackers are
Speaker 3: stepping in right now, there's a bunch of deep fakes
Speaker 3: out there. There's a younger actor who's facing hot water
Speaker 3: right now. Nothing he did wrong, but somebody has a
Speaker 3: deep fake out there with him and a minor Imagine
Speaker 3: being a famous actor or actress and somebody makes this
Speaker 3: AI generated crap about you and you have to fight
Speaker 3: it off.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I totally get it. And even people that
Speaker 1: are on the low rung of the entertainment tower, like us,
Speaker 1: we're near the bottom of the totem pole, but we
Speaker 1: still have, you know, this crap that we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to deal with and people can. Eventually they'll be able
Speaker 1: to mimic our voices completely.
Speaker 3: Like this, necro drop right here. There's no way you
Speaker 3: would have said listen, But all those Negroes look the same.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that's like those videos of Biden walking
Speaker 1: the wrong direction around the helicopter. That's a deep fake.
Speaker 1: Clearly that's a deep fake. It's it's yeah, oh my god,
Speaker 1: they oh yeah they oh what are we doing?
Speaker 3: Public service announcement? He said, necro as in the pictures
Speaker 3: the Brothers.
Speaker 1: Racist, Yes, Joe and Phil as I like to call him.
Speaker 1: Steve from Minnesota rites in and says that he heard
Speaker 1: that Woody Harrelson has not owned a cell phone in
Speaker 1: three years. How much money would you, ben in Danny
Speaker 1: have to get in order for you to go three
Speaker 1: years without a cell phone. I don't know that it's
Speaker 1: possible to go three years without a cell phone, not
Speaker 1: what we do for a living. How is Woody Harrelson
Speaker 1: able to get away with not owning a cell phone
Speaker 1: for three years? Wow? Man, that's uh, that's pretty wild.
Speaker 1: No phone, think about it.
Speaker 3: He's his own boss, so he could tell his agent, Eh,
Speaker 3: if you want to come to my house and buzz
Speaker 3: hit my buzzer outside my gates. See if I'm available,
Speaker 3: that's what you're gonna do. I don't take calls.
Speaker 1: There's only a few now. He's young enough where he should.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have an out like I remember Bud Seelick,
Speaker 1: the old Commission of Baseball, never used email. I don't
Speaker 1: believe Jerry Jones uses email. Donald Trump, I don't think
Speaker 1: uses email. Like if you're at a certain age, I get it.
Speaker 1: But how old is Woody Harrelson. I don't even know
Speaker 1: he's got Is he in sixties?
Speaker 3: Sixties? Probably mid sixties, I'll look it up.
Speaker 1: He was like the young guy on Cheers back in
Speaker 1: the day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. But unfortunately his co stars are almost you know,
Speaker 3: they're getting up there and yeah Harrelson is yeah, we're right.
Speaker 3: He is about to be sixty three.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you know, early sixties, mid sixties. I just
Speaker 1: typed this in to the guy in Minnies says there's
Speaker 1: a clip of Ted Nansen saying, let me explain something
Speaker 1: about Woody. He doesn't have a phone. He's one of
Speaker 1: those bullies in life that make other people carry his
Speaker 1: phone for it. But what that would mean he has a
Speaker 1: phone he's somebody else says, carry ummm, let's see.
Speaker 3: Then he allow, so he has like a phone assistant.
Speaker 1: He says. He responded to his podcast interview, says, well,
Speaker 1: I just don't like to have, you know, to be
Speaker 1: readily available to any human being at any time, he stated.
Speaker 1: He said somebody else brought up the fact that he
Speaker 1: doesn't want to It doesn't feel good to always be
Speaker 1: at the beck and call the phone. Harrelson said, I
Speaker 1: like to be in touch with people in a way,
Speaker 1: but I don't like the appendage on my appendage. You know.
Speaker 1: I made a thing where I'm okay, I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna set a two hour limit on my phone.
Speaker 1: So because he does have a phone, he said to
Speaker 1: our limitus phone, because I've given it up now three
Speaker 1: three and a half years. But back then he said,
Speaker 1: I was going to set a limit like two hours
Speaker 1: or whatever.
Speaker 3: All right, So he just doesn't use it the way normal,
Speaker 3: well not normal, but the rest of us do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds like he keeps it in a drawer
Speaker 1: or something like that, and he doesn't like it being
Speaker 1: like an ankle bracelet. Yeah, I mean, there's a guy
Speaker 1: that we work with that does the same thing. So
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, stuff happens, and that's the way
Speaker 1: it is. All right, we'll get out on that. I
Speaker 1: think that's that's a good number of email messages and
Speaker 1: the rest of you. If we did not use your message,
Speaker 1: if you want us to use it on a future episode,
Speaker 1: send it. We start fresh with the mailbag every week.
