Speaker 1: Ka Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes
Speaker 1: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old republic a sole fashion of fairness. He

Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of
Speaker 1: hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour

Speaker 1: the type of people that get certain jobs at certain places.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I can fully agree with you on that
Speaker 1: hanging out. We were catching up on the good old
Speaker 1: days at Fox Sports Radio, those days along behind and
Speaker 1: it was it was just wonderful to work alongside a
Speaker 1: professional NFL broadcaster and NFL broadcaster t J. Reeves, who's
Speaker 1: solid radio guy Tampa market for many many years there.
Speaker 1: He knows everybody, and and uh, it was just it
Speaker 1: was just wonderful. It was wonderful to not break bread
Speaker 1: because we actually didn't eat together because he didn't have
Speaker 1: time because he was working. But it was it was good.
Speaker 1: And uh, saving the Buccaneer radio broadcast gas Gun confirmed
Speaker 1: by t J Reeves without my intervention. They're helping Gene
Speaker 1: Deckerhoff make his way to the broadcast booth. There would
Speaker 1: have been issues. There would have been issues, and who
Speaker 1: knows what would have taken place. So I'm waiting for
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers to send me some kind of certificate uh
Speaker 1: in the mail. We'll see if that happens or not.
Speaker 1: But I think I've deserved at it the very least.
Speaker 1: So on this podcast, the Saturday Podcast, We've got Medicine
Speaker 1: Man Mallard, Power of the Podcast, and Storage Wars and
Speaker 1: whatever else you can toss in there. On top of that,
Speaker 1: guest on, do you have anything amazing to add this
Speaker 1: week to the podcast? Anything that will blow people away? No,
Speaker 1: but I do feel like I need uh, I need
Speaker 1: to re up on my request for mc attire. I
Speaker 1: feel like we need more from like the Buffalo Bulls
Speaker 1: or from like the akron Zips. Oh that is put
Speaker 1: Northern Illinois Huskies, Central Michigan, Western Michigan. You used to
Speaker 1: bust my boss. It's different. It's different, like you get
Speaker 1: all these like benefits. You get all these like benefits.
Speaker 1: I need like some kind of kicked me down, like
Speaker 1: I needed I did something for for doing this right.
Speaker 1: I need like a little bit of like a um,
Speaker 1: I need a little bit of a tap on the backset,
Speaker 1: if you will. So you got all the good stuff
Speaker 1: like can't I ask for anything? No, no, no, no no,
Speaker 1: se I would think, I don't ask for anything. Well,
Speaker 1: ship you don't, don't. What do I ask for? I
Speaker 1: don't give me an example of when I asked for something. Well,
Speaker 1: I didn't ask for anything either. I just said I
Speaker 1: felt like I need to have a reup on my
Speaker 1: mac attarre. That's all I said. You know, you got
Speaker 1: all bent out of shape, and as you you had
Speaker 1: a bone of contention with yours. Truly, here you were.
Speaker 1: You're fuming over me being the hat benefactor, and you
Speaker 1: were upset by that, and there was bitterness and animosity,
Speaker 1: and you were very very annoyed that the fan of
Speaker 1: the podcast was very kind and knowing that I have
Speaker 1: chosen rather too rather than wearing no hat, I need
Speaker 1: to cover my head and so they've sent me many hats.
Speaker 1: I am the mad hatter of sports chatter and that
Speaker 1: bothers you and you need vengeance. But now you change
Speaker 1: your I just uh, you know, we're into fall now officially,
Speaker 1: and it's football season, and so the mac brings us
Speaker 1: some kind of up and down football during the middle
Speaker 1: of the week. I feel like I need to upgrade
Speaker 1: my game on the attire. Bowling Green had a huge
Speaker 1: upset last week against Minnesota. I feel like we need
Speaker 1: to be repping at least me a lot and proud
Speaker 1: and plus the plus those shirts that kind of fit
Speaker 1: me pretty well, form fitting um, accentuate certain body portions,
Speaker 1: you know, parts, and uh, I feel like I do
Speaker 1: the conference a good service. Yeah, well it's radio though
Speaker 1: they can't nobody can see what you're well. You know that.
Speaker 1: That brings me to my next point is that I
Speaker 1: need a few more requests on online to uh you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta do a little something something on cameo.
Speaker 1: You know, I gotta have a couple of orders or Okay,
Speaker 1: now you're asking to anything else you'd like, Like, you know,
Speaker 1: I do need a new hat. This one does Dodger
Speaker 1: blue hat that I'm wearing. It's a little old, it's
Speaker 1: a little rusty, it's a little sweat logged. Um, I
Speaker 1: could use a hat from the mac washing. I don't
Speaker 1: want to wash a hat. I don't like washing hats.
Speaker 1: What's of course you wash a hat that's how you
Speaker 1: keep it new and fresh and clean. It's not really
Speaker 1: my style. Now I have I have different If you
Speaker 1: look at my hat collection, I have different tiers of hat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have the the hat for moving, the hat that
Speaker 1: I use when I'm gonna get sweaty and grimy and
Speaker 1: all that. Those are typically the lower end hat. Then
Speaker 1: I have the mid your hat, which occasionally I can
Speaker 1: get a little sweaty. The mid tier hat, I like
Speaker 1: the hat, but I'm willing to get a little dirty
Speaker 1: because I know I to wash the hat and I'm
Speaker 1: okay with it. And then I have what I call
Speaker 1: the top tier hat, which are the rare hats that
Speaker 1: are hard to get your hands on. And with those hats,
Speaker 1: I never wear them when there's a chance of sweat.
Speaker 1: In fact, if it goes over a certain temperature, those
Speaker 1: hats do not come out of the hat case. They
Speaker 1: stay there because those are the magical hats that I
Speaker 1: want to keep pure and innocent. I want them to
Speaker 1: remain in their virgin state, and so I do not
Speaker 1: take those hats out at all. So I have That's
Speaker 1: what I have done. And so what you have there
Speaker 1: on your head, the Dodger hat, is a workman Dodger hat,
Speaker 1: and so that's that's that's a good Dodger hat. I
Speaker 1: have one that I actually would I regularly wear that.
Speaker 1: When I played in a media game at Dodger Stadium
Speaker 1: years ago, they the equipment guy the hats they had.
Speaker 1: They had these little cheap hats that button in the back,
Speaker 1: and my head was too big. The hats wouldn't fit.
Speaker 1: So the the guy that works with the Dodgers that
Speaker 1: I've known for years, he went in the origin room
Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium, pulled out a hat, the same hat
Speaker 1: the players are wearing, and so here I got an
Speaker 1: extra got size eight. Nobody on the team wears a
Speaker 1: size eight here. So I put it on and I
Speaker 1: that's that's my lucky hat. But it has gotten a
Speaker 1: little sweaty over the years. It's twenty years old or
Speaker 1: something like that. It's probably more than that now five
Speaker 1: years old. But I still wear it all the time.
Speaker 1: It's my it's my workman Dodger hack, my good luck
Speaker 1: Dodger hack that I wear. And I'll wear that when
Speaker 1: they beat the Cardinals in the wild card game. They
Speaker 1: are white hot, man. I don't know when the hell
Speaker 1: they're gonna lose any games of significance, but maybe it's
Speaker 1: next week. We'll see. Well, maybe they've already lost. You
Speaker 1: never know that, guest Gun on the magic of podcasting,
Speaker 1: they might have already lost. And I say, games of significance,
Speaker 1: you're listening. Skills suck, I say, guess on. The Cardinals
Speaker 1: have peaked too soon. That fail. They're getting all these
Speaker 1: wings in right now, and there will be heartache at
Speaker 1: the wild Card game, which I believe I will be
Speaker 1: in the tenants at, guest Gun, I believe I have
Speaker 1: been given the green light on that and will be
Speaker 1: in the house in the hissy at. Chavez would be
Speaker 1: making my triumphant return to Dodger Stadium coming out of
Speaker 1: hiding to my first NFL game last week and since COVID,
Speaker 1: since COVID, and now I will make my way to
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium here shortly. But the medicine man Mallard, let's
Speaker 1: get into it. Medicine man mouth. So I have I
Speaker 1: don't know how this happened. I've developed a little side hustle.
Speaker 1: I have my own cottage industry going on here. Now.
Speaker 1: We we we already mentioned on the Friday podcast with the
Speaker 1: great T. J. Reeves, the fact that I had a
Speaker 1: role in saving the Buccaneer radio broadcast. I was making
Speaker 1: my way up to the press box where the Buccaneer
Speaker 1: booth was. I stumbled on Gene decker Off, the iconic
Speaker 1: voice of Florida's state. There's certain people that are in
Speaker 1: radio that just have the voice of God, and Gene
Speaker 1: Deckerhoff is one of those guys. And I I've never
Speaker 1: met Gene decker Off. Until then, I had never met him.
Speaker 1: I didn't know what he looks like. I just happened
Speaker 1: to be in the elevator and he was in front
Speaker 1: of me, this old guy. And I, once I heard
Speaker 1: him talk to the operator the elevator, I said, wait
Speaker 1: a minute, I put two and two together, right os.
Speaker 1: This is this is Gene decker Off. This is the
Speaker 1: play by play guy for the Buccaneers. And uh, So
Speaker 1: I actually did something that's very out of characters, I
Speaker 1: said when I told the story. Originally, as an introvert,
Speaker 1: I do not engage in contact with people I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't do it. But this was different. This is
Speaker 1: Gene Deckerhoff, Gene f and decker Off. So I I
Speaker 1: introduced myself, and then I led him to the Bucks broadcast,
Speaker 1: both of course calling my friend T. J. Reeves to
Speaker 1: le him know that the eagle had landed or the
Speaker 1: in this case, the buccaneer had landed. So that's that's
Speaker 1: not really medicine, but out of the blue this week,
Speaker 1: guest Gun, this is a never before told story. I've
Speaker 1: not told this on the radio. I have not even
Speaker 1: told you this off the off the air, off the podcast,
Speaker 1: off any of this stuff. So I get a text
Speaker 1: from a buddy of mine in Kansas City and says, hey, Ben,
Speaker 1: we got a little bit of an emergency here. I
Speaker 1: need your help. And I'm like, okay, what's going on?
Speaker 1: So the message is that one of the chiefs broadcasters,
Speaker 1: one of the Kansas City chiefs radio broadcasters, has come
Speaker 1: down with laryngitis. This is early in the week, right,
Speaker 1: So I get this message and the guests is, I've
Speaker 1: listened to you a while. I know the the garlic
Speaker 1: therapy as you recommend. He needs something magical to get
Speaker 1: his voice back, otherwise he cannot do the game on
Speaker 1: Sunday against Philadelphia. Andy Reid trying to get that one
Speaker 1: win in Kansas City against his old team, the Eagles. Uh.
Speaker 1: And so if he can't get his voice back, he's
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to do the broadcast, obviously with laryngitis.
Speaker 1: So my my buddy says, can you please give me
Speaker 1: the patented Mallard garlic therapy. And I immediately what I
Speaker 1: did is I pivoted stop what I was doing, guest gun,
Speaker 1: and I activated malartron, not voltron, malartron, and immediately sent
Speaker 1: what I do the point by point on what I
Speaker 1: do when I get a little bug in my throat,
Speaker 1: a little aryngitis. And we will not know until Sunday
Speaker 1: tomorrow whether or not this worked, if my trick worked,
Speaker 1: if even you know fully used it. But remember, garlic
Speaker 1: is nature's antibiotic. It's the original antibiotic. It's old world.
Speaker 1: And this all started from an old DJ who passed
Speaker 1: this on to me, give it back, pass it on
Speaker 1: to the next generation. And and so we'll see if
Speaker 1: it works or not for this guy. But I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, guest, I felt pretty proud to if this
Speaker 1: work two weeks in a row, both the teams in
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl from this past year, I will have
Speaker 1: had a role in saving their radio broadcast medicine man Mallard.
Speaker 1: So what happens If it doesn't work, then we'll just
Speaker 1: pretend this didn't happen. It's only on the podcast. Nobody's listening. No, no,
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna work. I am very confident it will
Speaker 1: it will work. And for the I know what happens
Speaker 1: when I bring this up, I get a million people
Speaker 1: who are going to say, well, what is it? Let
Speaker 1: me know, GIMMU the details. We'll listen. I've given it
Speaker 1: out before. You should never take medical advice in any
Speaker 1: way from someone on the radio or the podcast. You
Speaker 1: should always consult with a professional. But if you would
Speaker 1: like to know how I do it, I it's very simple.
Speaker 1: It's very simple. I take a clove of garlic, and
Speaker 1: a raw clove of garlic. I I sl obviously peel it,
Speaker 1: you slice it, and then you put one half on
Speaker 1: the right side of your mouth, one half on the
Speaker 1: left side of your mouth, and you suck on the
Speaker 1: juices like it's a hard candy, like a Jolly Roger
Speaker 1: and uh. And you typically try to do this before
Speaker 1: bed and when I wake up, but you can do
Speaker 1: it whenever. Now it's gonna burn your gums and you
Speaker 1: can only handle it for so long. That garlic is
Speaker 1: so pungent it's gonna burn your gums. And I do
Speaker 1: that before bed, and usually what happens. The theory is
Speaker 1: that the garlic juices go through your your throat and
Speaker 1: just knocked that infection. Fight it all night while you're sleeping,
Speaker 1: and then when you wake up, you give it another dose. Now,
Speaker 1: no one's gonna want to be around you. If you
Speaker 1: have a significant net gather, You're not gonna want to
Speaker 1: tongue kiss them because it's disgusting. Your your breath will
Speaker 1: be horrible. You you'll keep vampires away. But it has worked.
Speaker 1: I have not had to miss an assignment because of laryngitis. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, if I've done this early on, once I
Speaker 1: start feeling a bugging my throat, it's worked every time. Now.
Speaker 1: Sometimes if you wait a little too long, there's an issue,
Speaker 1: so you gotta get it early. But you get it early,
Speaker 1: I've never had a problem with I'm you know what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do is tomorrow, when can't say does plays,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna save some audio, especially on big plays, and
Speaker 1: I'll see if there's a noticeable difference, like there's a
Speaker 1: noticeable difference from you now then there was ten fifteen
Speaker 1: years ago on the radio when you're nasally pinched in
Speaker 1: fat voice was was prominent on the radio to now
Speaker 1: where it's at. So um, I'm gonna keep receipts, man,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna see if this thing actually comes to fruition
Speaker 1: and if your recipe for success stays true, because you know,
Speaker 1: can't say needs all the health they can get on
Speaker 1: and off the field. Now, there are a couple of
Speaker 1: plays here and there from being undefeated. There it's the
Speaker 1: way the ball bounces. Come on, you know, the way
Speaker 1: the ball you know what, There are a couple of
Speaker 1: players away from actually being winless too. If you didn't
Speaker 1: recognize what that in that week one game against Kansas City.
Speaker 1: I know, typically you don't look at the entire game
Speaker 1: for the first four quarters, but against Kansas City, they
Speaker 1: played they played themselves. Was Cleveland browns Cleveland Brown, Kansas City.
Speaker 1: That's what you said, you screwed it. Well, it's the
Speaker 1: first time you've listened to anything I said last two
Speaker 1: three weeks. Congratulations, But yes they are. You know they're
Speaker 1: looking up the Denver Broncos. So if someone had given
Speaker 1: me ten thousand dollars and said, Hey, put money on
Speaker 1: a team in the a f C U West. I
Speaker 1: might be more inclined to put money on the Vegas
Speaker 1: Raiders or the Denver Broncos. But you're hearing my promos there.
Speaker 1: I have no idea what you're talking about. Yeah, as I,
Speaker 1: as I pointed out this week on the promo thing,
Speaker 1: you compare a Mallard promo and a Cowherd promo. Right Colin,
Speaker 1: He's out there hob nobbing with stand cronky at a
Speaker 1: till party in l A. And I am doing hypothetical
Speaker 1: bets hanging out with hot dog vendors. That's the difference
Speaker 1: right there. That is the difference when when I go
Speaker 1: out to a game, I'm looking to meet fans of
Speaker 1: the show. I'm not looking to hang out with the aristocrats.
Speaker 1: I don't know that world. I'm not in that world.
Speaker 1: I don't live west of the four oh five. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure how Maybe you shouldn't elevate your game. Maybe
Speaker 1: you should up the anty on what you want in life?
Speaker 1: How about that? I don't want that. I don't I'm
Speaker 1: not interested in that. I've met rich people, have hung
Speaker 1: out with rich people before. They're nothing spectacular. They're they're rich.
Speaker 1: They're rich. It doesn't make them any better, Sure it does.
Speaker 1: It makes them better in the in the in the pocketbook,
Speaker 1: it makes them better in the wall. It makes them
Speaker 1: better at what they invest in. Yeah. But the great
Speaker 1: thing is when they're dead. It's the reset button gets
Speaker 1: hit and oh boy, it's all over. You can't It's
Speaker 1: not like we're back in in the ancient times where
Speaker 1: you can build a big comb. Just go with you.
Speaker 1: You die. That's it. It's everything goes back. And so
Speaker 1: I don't care how big you know, how eyebrow pomp is,
Speaker 1: swarmy a hole you are, and how rich you are.
Speaker 1: It's audios, bye bye, uh all of that. Lucky for us,
Speaker 1: this audio will live in infamy. Naa, naa, hey, good bye,
Speaker 1: as they say, back home, Audios muchachos to the money,
Speaker 1: so via Kondios. Well the Power of the Podcast guest
Speaker 1: on the Power of the Podcast. So we had complaints
Speaker 1: last week? Why well, I remember the thanks for you
Speaker 1: weren't listening quick on the uptake there, guests, and we
Speaker 1: remember I complained about it had an issue with the dishwasher.
Speaker 1: At the dishwasher blues, I think you meant. I think
Speaker 1: you meant like complaints about the podcast. Oh yeah, people
Speaker 1: Chris called up and complaints that the audio qualities terrible.
Speaker 1: Essentially implied that you sabotage as the podcast when I
Speaker 1: talked to make you sound better. That that's your bag
Speaker 1: of tricks, according to Chris and Houston. Anyway, So just
Speaker 1: real quick, so I ranted and raved. I named names
Speaker 1: on the dishwasher. Got a new dishwasher to the Mallard
Speaker 1: mansion that I just moved into a few months ago,
Speaker 1: and it had a massive dent in the roof. But
Speaker 1: because the contractor could not put it in right away,
Speaker 1: we did not examine the top of the dishwasher until
Speaker 1: a week to ten days after we got the dishwasher.
Speaker 1: Everyone went into see y a mode, cover your ass mode.
Speaker 1: That was the philosophy, and I named names. I named
Speaker 1: home depot. There they blamed the delivery company. The delivery
Speaker 1: company said it was Gees fault, and I went on
Speaker 1: like a screaming fire breathing dragon and talked about how
Speaker 1: horrible the customer service was and how everyone was blaming
Speaker 1: everyone else, and well we now have an update guest
Speaker 1: on and a happy ending received an email from General Electric,
Speaker 1: a fine company, by the way, and I retract all
Speaker 1: of the negative things I said about g Also Home
Speaker 1: Deeper believe they had a role in that. Screw the
Speaker 1: delivery company because their assholes. But General, General Electric and
Speaker 1: Home DEEPO. Good job by them. They did solid and
Speaker 1: they reviewed. They claimed they reviewed my case. I'm sure
Speaker 1: this podcast had nothing to do with it. Wink wink,
Speaker 1: not nod, but they announced they had had a change
Speaker 1: of heart the power of the podcast. I am going
Speaker 1: with this, and it turns out in a few days
Speaker 1: here we will exchange the damaged, broken, mangled dishwasher with
Speaker 1: a giant dent on the top of it for the
Speaker 1: same model number, but one without a dent, brand new.
Speaker 1: Should be done in seven to ten business days. So
Speaker 1: that's that's the good news. Thank you to GE. That's
Speaker 1: that's what a good company does. I hope that you
Speaker 1: just did it on your own without the podcast, but
Speaker 1: you should do it for everybody, not just goroofballs like me.
Speaker 1: But good job by you. That's a very expensive item
Speaker 1: and a lot of money for it shows up with
Speaker 1: the dent. You gotta do the good thing there, do
Speaker 1: a good mitzvah and they did, so I stand corrected
Speaker 1: on General Electric and I will go buy some GE
Speaker 1: stock right when the stock market opens up on Monday.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna do. A lot of hoops, a
Speaker 1: lot of hoops. You jump through. But the story has
Speaker 1: a happy ending. That's that's congratulations. I mean, that's that's
Speaker 1: that's a lot of money that obviously you're saving. And
Speaker 1: the headache, the disappointment, and uh yeah, I mean it's
Speaker 1: it's about damn time that they actually come back and
Speaker 1: make good with what they did not do red for you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I needed so I thank that for that. I know
Speaker 1: you're very concerned about my dishwasher. We're at the point
Speaker 1: now we we also have gotten finally, after all the time,
Speaker 1: the refrigerator, the main refrigerator, and the stove the oven
Speaker 1: has arrived. So we are that those installed in a
Speaker 1: few days also, and so that means I will no
Speaker 1: longer have to go to every fast food joint in
Speaker 1: in town. I can actually eat home cooked meals against
Speaker 1: something you really miss, the home cooked meal when you
Speaker 1: don't have one for six months. It's just terrible. It's terrible.
Speaker 1: I don't mind eating now, but i'd rather eat at home,
Speaker 1: and before before I always wanted to eat out. But uh,
Speaker 1: you know, in recent years I've mostly eaten at home
Speaker 1: and only gone out once a once a week or
Speaker 1: once every two weeks. But lately I've had no no
Speaker 1: chance other than just to eat out all the time.
Speaker 1: It sucks. So yeah, I mean I would, I would
Speaker 1: imagine it certainly does. But that also means that that
Speaker 1: also means that now that things are done, I bet
Speaker 1: you you take that tomahawk out of your freezer and
Speaker 1: cook it up. The tomahawk is a conversation piece. It's
Speaker 1: like a it's like a monet or a van Go.
Speaker 1: It's dead, it is, I know. But of course it
Speaker 1: was dead when you sent it. If it was alive,
Speaker 1: that would have been a problem. No hopes and the
Speaker 1: hopes and dreams that it was going to be consumed
Speaker 1: is dead. Deal way, I don't know about that. You know,
Speaker 1: you say that like it's a fatal complete that there's
Speaker 1: no there's no change on that there is. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's the trust values not high. I might throw it
Speaker 1: in a duffel bag, and you know, next time we're
Speaker 1: at a social event, might pull it out of the
Speaker 1: duffel bag and and crooked. Maybe you should keep it
Speaker 1: as a weapon just in case something happens. Yeah, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I do live in a very tough part of town
Speaker 1: on the wrong side of the tracks. Where I live
Speaker 1: here is you know, it's basically on Earth, and so
Speaker 1: I could have it as a defense system and I
Speaker 1: could take down enemy combatants with that wonderful Tomahawks steak,
Speaker 1: which I'm sure we'll be delicious. Sure it'll be wonderful.
Speaker 1: And uh, well, why this is so uncomfortable when you
Speaker 1: were a person Again, it gives a gift. And once
Speaker 1: you give the gift, you've said it free. It's it's
Speaker 1: no longer yours to worry about. And yet you continue
Speaker 1: to be very dramatic with these historyonics about about a gift. Well,
Speaker 1: because you don't understand that there's an investment involved. There's
Speaker 1: an investment in time and energy and thoughtfulness and money
Speaker 1: and all those things rolled into one. Like you you
Speaker 1: don't buy You've never bought your wife a gift and
Speaker 1: thought like, oh, let me just pluck something out of Amazon,
Speaker 1: like you put time into it, you put your back
Speaker 1: into it, you put your thought, her feelings into it,
Speaker 1: and you think like I'm gonna get this for her
Speaker 1: because I know she would enjoy it. So there's like
Speaker 1: that energy you put into it. So you're comparing me
Speaker 1: to your wife. We have a married my wife. I mean, wow,
Speaker 1: that's at that little but it was. It was sent
Speaker 1: to you two years ago for your birthday. Okay, So
Speaker 1: it's it's like a fine wine. And you have this
Speaker 1: nefarious intent, right, you're proving you were again a rogue
Speaker 1: actor here and sworn enemy of the Malla militia that
Speaker 1: you a gift and then demand constant prison. If I
Speaker 1: had eaten that steak, this thing would have been forgotten
Speaker 1: about right away, if I had eaten it the day
Speaker 1: it arrived at the Mallard mansion, and we wouldn't be
Speaker 1: talking about it. So you should actually thank me. You
Speaker 1: should you should bow down at the altar here that
Speaker 1: what I have done is kept that gift alive for
Speaker 1: two years. Who the hell talks about a gift. It's
Speaker 1: not like you bought me a car or you know
Speaker 1: you you gave me a ten thousand dollar watch. You didn't, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I didn't. I didn't buy you. I didn't buy
Speaker 1: you a bottle of wine. And I didn't buy you
Speaker 1: a baseball card that you know praises in value year
Speaker 1: after year. Either this is a depreciating asset. This is
Speaker 1: the worst than buying a bode. No, no, not at all.
Speaker 1: It depreciates once you cook it. But until you cook it,
Speaker 1: it is in a time warp. It is in a
Speaker 1: it is in a state where it is not aging.
Speaker 1: It is staying the same. And as soon as I
Speaker 1: defrost that thing, and probably take a couple of months
Speaker 1: to defrosted, it's still frozen. But once I d frost that, man,
Speaker 1: is that gonna be good. It'll be wonderful and maybe
Speaker 1: I'll have have you over and you can eat it.
Speaker 1: I'll have you about that. Hey, have you ever have
Speaker 1: you gone to a nice place and h and made
Speaker 1: a fuss about any kind of experience. I don't complain
Speaker 1: because I know what happens when you complain and I
Speaker 1: fit in your food, and it's it's just better. What
Speaker 1: I'll do is I'll just do the Aaron Rodgers passive
Speaker 1: aggressive thing where I'll I'll make snide comments and snicker
Speaker 1: and complain to my wife. That's what I'll do. But
Speaker 1: I will not return something at a rest to front,
Speaker 1: for example, because I know what happens in the kitchen,
Speaker 1: and you don't want to eat the stuff that they
Speaker 1: put on your food. Even and even though they said, well,
Speaker 1: we don't do that, No, they do do that. They do.
Speaker 1: I I you see, I had asked because I did it,
Speaker 1: but I did it in a non aggressive manner. I
Speaker 1: went with some some buddies to a steakhouse on Saturday,
Speaker 1: and the experiences was not great for the amount of
Speaker 1: money we spent. But I waited until Monday to actually
Speaker 1: send in a complaint. So I was kind of curious
Speaker 1: if he thought like something like that is okay or acceptable,
Speaker 1: because the server was okay, but he put us in
Speaker 1: an area where there's a lot of traffic, and so
Speaker 1: the guys I was with like we were getting bumped
Speaker 1: into on several occasions. Bill On top of that, the
Speaker 1: dude never came around to check and see how our
Speaker 1: meal was, how our everything was until at the end
Speaker 1: of the dinner when we gave him obviously the tab
Speaker 1: and the tip. Yeah, And so I was I thought
Speaker 1: to myself, well, what the hell I like, First of all,
Speaker 1: my steak wasn't great. It was charred on the outside,
Speaker 1: like medium or rare on the inside. It wasn't good.
Speaker 1: We got charge for bread which we didn't ask for.
Speaker 1: Oh you can't charge for bread. That's and see, I
Speaker 1: would never go to that restaurant again. I have a
Speaker 1: strong belief that restaurants must include the bread built into
Speaker 1: the cost, just like when I go to Italian restaurants,
Speaker 1: and steakhouses should give you a roll a dinner roll
Speaker 1: with with the meal. And Mexican restaurants have to include
Speaker 1: chips and salsa, and it's built into the cost of
Speaker 1: the food. And if you don't do that, if you
Speaker 1: charge extra, fuck you, I'm not going to your restaurant.
Speaker 1: How about that? Right? I agree? I agree? So I
Speaker 1: made a big stink about it, and the manager called
Speaker 1: me back on Wednesday and said, hey, next time you
Speaker 1: come in, round of drinks for your friends and some dessert.
Speaker 1: I thought, Man, we spent over six hundred dollars on
Speaker 1: food and drink. You mus spent six How many people
Speaker 1: were at the meal, Uh, four guys. So we got
Speaker 1: two bottles of wine. Buddy buddy got lamb I got steak,
Speaker 1: another buddy got steak, and then the third guy got anoki,
Speaker 1: and then we had a bunch of sides. Six d
Speaker 1: dollars on a what a random meal on a Sunday?
Speaker 1: Was this or a Saturday? No? It was Saturday. No,
Speaker 1: because because Chris, I'll let the cat out of the bag.
Speaker 1: But Chris Broussard had lost a bet to me, and
Speaker 1: the bet was Dallas was not going to make the
Speaker 1: playoffs last season. So he he paid up. He gave
Speaker 1: me a hundred fifty dollar gifts certificate to Mastrosh. So
Speaker 1: your names Gascon, and we'd like to alert all the
Speaker 1: listeners on the podcast Guesscon is now naming names. So
Speaker 1: but you know, I go to that one in Beverly
Speaker 1: Hills or the one in Newport Beach whenever, like there's
Speaker 1: something good going on. And so the we were on
Speaker 1: the penthouse level, but where we were sitting sitting at
Speaker 1: we were in between the sliders where the doors open
Speaker 1: and closed to the penthouse balcony. So the servers and
Speaker 1: the bus boys were hitting like me and the other
Speaker 1: guy on several occasions. And then on top of that,
Speaker 1: I was just like, man, my buddy ordered one. I
Speaker 1: didn't know why, but were you in Beverly Hills? Was
Speaker 1: just the Beverly Hills location? Which one? Yeah, yeah, those
Speaker 1: in Beverly Hills. Yeah, all right, hold on, sa let
Speaker 1: me look up the menu Beverly Hills Steakhouse Mastros. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But let let me let me tell you though. We
Speaker 1: went to a place called the called Wallis. After that
Speaker 1: it's like a it's like a winery slash bar. World
Speaker 1: was Chevy Chase there, No, but there was plenty of
Speaker 1: women with pulled faces. If you get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's Beverly Hills, man, that's how that town roll. A
Speaker 1: lot of work done. Dude, if you put if you
Speaker 1: brought a heat lamp in there, you would have melted
Speaker 1: away several hundred women in there. I'm looking at the
Speaker 1: dinner menu. Yeah, and see an appetizer. They have steak
Speaker 1: sheshimi for twenty eight dollars. Yeah, we got no appetizers.
Speaker 1: You did not get an appetizer, but you need actually
Speaker 1: got red. They charged you for bread, so Texas five
Speaker 1: bucks for bread, and then a buddy got lamb big
Speaker 1: guy tuna tartar. Didn't do that. You didn't do that.
Speaker 1: Let's see you get SnO, you got NOOKI I'm looking
Speaker 1: at the an eight ouns steak for sixty That's where
Speaker 1: i got yeah, eights New York Strip stake sixteen ounces
Speaker 1: sixty nine dollars. Bone in Kansas City Strip eighteen ounces
Speaker 1: steak seventy dollars, and you got the eight ounces? Why
Speaker 1: did you get the only of the eight ounces? Why
Speaker 1: don't you go big? This is a big night. You
Speaker 1: could have got a porter House two dollars. Yeah, my
Speaker 1: buddy got the Porterhouse. He said it was actually really good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so screwed its bed job. But you got the which one?
Speaker 1: Did you get? The Wagu? Is that the one you got?
Speaker 1: I just gotta regular, I just gotta regular filet Oh
Speaker 1: my god? Did you see how much that is? The
Speaker 1: Wagu Tomahawk chop Snake River Farms? What the hell is
Speaker 1: that is? That's supposed to be impressive? The Snake River
Speaker 1: Farms is actually the company that sent you the Tomahawks steak?
Speaker 1: You dildo? Yeah, I'm gonna be surprised when I play
Speaker 1: like Kobe beef it Tajima cattle is that? I don't
Speaker 1: know what that is? That is? It says minimum four
Speaker 1: ounds per order and it's two hundred and forty dollars?
Speaker 1: What is that? From a god's cattle? I mean, what
Speaker 1: what is that. I don't know. Man, that's wild, it's insane.
Speaker 1: Hold on a sick I'm looking at the side dishes.
Speaker 1: Garlic mashed potatoes for fifteen dollars with the labster, the
Speaker 1: lobster mash, it was pretty good. You're lobster mash for
Speaker 1: forty dollars thirty nine dollars with lobster mash, mac and cheese.
Speaker 1: That's I'm sorry. Mean, I can't pay fifteen dollars for
Speaker 1: mashed potatoes because I know I've made mashed potatoes before
Speaker 1: and there's not fifteen dollars of work and this those
Speaker 1: are holy potatoes dollars. What the hell is going on
Speaker 1: a baked potato? Fourteen dollars for a baked potato? That's crazy?
Speaker 1: What do you do? This is? I wouldn't I would
Speaker 1: walk out if I looked at those prices. I would
Speaker 1: not eat at a place like this. What is up
Speaker 1: with that? Yeah, it's a little disappointing. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: what you would have liked though. You're not a big
Speaker 1: dessert guy, though, are you? I like only a few desserts.
Speaker 1: But I don't see this's on the menu there there
Speaker 1: should be a butter cake. The uh there's butter cake
Speaker 1: that they serve that they're just known for. It's butter
Speaker 1: cake served with a giant scoop of ice cream, vanilla
Speaker 1: ice cream and fruit on the side. It's really good. Um,
Speaker 1: that was probably the highlight of that dinner experience. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna lie. The bread is actually phenomenal. But well,
Speaker 1: here's another strike against Maestro's. It says proper attire is required.
Speaker 1: There's a dress code. Yeah, upscale dress code says here
Speaker 1: we do not allow beach wear, gim attire including sweatpants,
Speaker 1: sweatshirts or hoodies, athletic apparel, jerseys, hats, beanies, bandanas, ball caps,
Speaker 1: oversized or baggy clothing, tank tops, and sleeve The shirts
Speaker 1: are prohibited. So you can't wear ad in there. I
Speaker 1: can't wear a nice uh nice dress up hat. I'm
Speaker 1: not allowed to wear you know, you could probably you could,
Speaker 1: probably you could probably wear that. That means like more
Speaker 1: of like a ball cap. Okay, no excessively revealing clothing
Speaker 1: will be What if a woman wants to show off
Speaker 1: for derri air, she can't do that. What's wrong with that?
Speaker 1: S Beeverly Hills. They spent a lot of my own
Speaker 1: boobs in Beverly Hills. They can't show that off now
Speaker 1: they show it off. So yeah, I guess going back
Speaker 1: to my original statement or a question, is it bad
Speaker 1: Is it bad form for me to actually call and
Speaker 1: file a complaint? No, because they're not gonna spit in
Speaker 1: your food. Now. I will warn you the next time
Speaker 1: you go in, if you bring this up to the manager,
Speaker 1: they will know that you are the complaining party and
Speaker 1: then you are in stranger danger of getting a big
Speaker 1: fat loogie in your potatoes. What he did, he did
Speaker 1: call me and tell me to take down his numbers.
Speaker 1: So he said, the next time you come in, call
Speaker 1: me before you come in, and I'll set something up
Speaker 1: for you. Wink wink not not. I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's like at that point and Good Fellows where Joe
Speaker 1: Pesci gets made and gets got in the back of
Speaker 1: the head. But all right, last thing, real quick. So
Speaker 1: we have storage Wars, Storage Wars, and Big Life accomplishment.
Speaker 1: Since we last did the podcast, I was able to
Speaker 1: close one of the three three storage units that I
Speaker 1: have been renting since I believe back in April. Actually
Speaker 1: this one we got right after my pops passed away
Speaker 1: in February, we we got this unit and so we
Speaker 1: put a bunch of stuff in there since February and
Speaker 1: over the weekend. I spent all day on Saturday unloading
Speaker 1: a bunch of random stuff that we still have to
Speaker 1: go through brick by brick, inch by inch, and made
Speaker 1: approximately fifteen trips from the storage unit back to the
Speaker 1: Mallard mansion, you know, putting stuff up, picking stuff up,
Speaker 1: moving it and all that stuff. Uh. And with the
Speaker 1: help of my friend and uh, we finished it off
Speaker 1: by renting one of those home Depot seventy five minute
Speaker 1: box truck rentals that you see for thirty bucks that
Speaker 1: and it was great. There was a few things I
Speaker 1: couldn't move. They wouldn't fit in the car. The beds.
Speaker 1: There were a couple of beds and a sofa, big
Speaker 1: sofa that we couldn't fit in the car. So I
Speaker 1: liked the seventy five minute rental because it's like a
Speaker 1: NASCAR race. It's a mad dash. You're like speed racer
Speaker 1: trying to get it done before the time runs out,
Speaker 1: and they charge you a hell of a lot more
Speaker 1: for the rental. I had said, I will stop watching
Speaker 1: my my watch that where I have stopped watching, and
Speaker 1: so I set the timer and I'm like, okay, how
Speaker 1: much time you know? We I wanted to make one
Speaker 1: trip the bit the sofa was so big we had
Speaker 1: to do two trips and it was it was a
Speaker 1: painting behind. I went with a wife on that one.
Speaker 1: And I still have two more storage units left to unload,
Speaker 1: but this should be done by some time in but
Speaker 1: at least one of them is out of the way,
Speaker 1: so I'm happy about. Yes, baby steps, baby steps. Anything
Speaker 1: else to can to promote here, guest, we gotta put
Speaker 1: the baby to bed on a Saturday podcast, anything at all? Anything?
Speaker 1: I think the one thing I forgot to mention or
Speaker 1: like I didn't say it perfectly to open up, I
Speaker 1: wear a size large, so if we get any kind
Speaker 1: of mac attire, I'm a size large Ben Millier, I'm
Speaker 1: a size eight on the hat, size eight and the
Speaker 1: hat and two x tall. Though I need to talk
Speaker 1: because I'm lengthy on the build there, so that's that
Speaker 1: would be good. Anyway, Let's have a great rest of
Speaker 1: your They don't send us anything unless you want to
Speaker 1: have a great DAT day and we'll catch you on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Aloha
