He 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 6 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

But what a great day today. 16 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: We got NFL actions starting for those of us who 17 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: are on the West coast like me and Danny G 18 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: starting from Nam all the way through that late game, 19 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: my Rams and the Lions that'll be ending roughly probably 20 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: eight thirty or nine o'clock. I would say, our time. 21 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 3: This is the pre game to the pre game. 22 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're here early on a Sunday for your 23 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: mail bag needs and so excited.

Barely beat the 25 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: Penny last year, barely beat the Penny last year. We're 26 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: off to a decent start this weekend. But now a 27 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: lot of moving parts, a lot of moving parts on 28 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: this food ball kind of a Sunday. So we look 29 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: forward to all of that today and we're gonna get 30 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: to the mailbag. But there were some things I didn't 31 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: get to yesterday, as I remember Danny, and one of 32 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: them is the International Man of Mystery. 33 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 3: Oh that's right, Yes, yeah, yesterday you said you were 34 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 3: going to try to remember this. 35 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: Yes. So I'm a pretty jaded, cynical guy at this 36 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: point when it comes to a lot of stuff we 37 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: talk about. No, yeah, it's unfortunate, but every once in 38 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: a while, Danny I become Benny Brightside, and that happened 39 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: this past week on the Overnight Show. I meant to 40 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: talk about this yesterday, but we ran out of time. 41 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: Absolutely warned my cold heart to hear the voice of 42 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: the Great Jay Scoop. Now, if you're new to the show, 43 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: Jay Scoop, his real name is Jesse. We call him 44 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: Jay Scoop. He is a very talented musician. He's done 45 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: a number of song parodies that he's sent into the 46 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: show over the years. He's a multi platinum time Benny 47 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: Palooza winner. The Malard Palooza, he's won that, you know, 48 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: a ton of times. He's been the judge in the 49 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 1: Malard Palooza before. He's done it all in the show. 50 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 1: In fact, he's even the hostess with the mostess as 51 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: he set up the Seattle Meet and Greet back in 52 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, which was right before the whole world shut 53 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: down with COVID the end of twenty nineteen, we had 54 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: a great celebration at the Malor Meet and Greet there 55 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: in Seattle. And he's been a great supporter of the show. 56 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: He was with the show when you were on the show, Danny, 57 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: back in the day. He's been around a long time 58 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: and he's now living in the Ukraine. He's now a caller, 59 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: Hey Ukraine Online one. And if you don't know the backstory, 60 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: Jayscoop was in the US military and he got out 61 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: and living his life and all that and working like 62 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: everyone else that gets out of the military, you have 63 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: to live your life. Got bills to pay and whatnot 64 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: and working as a struggling musician. And he told us 65 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: he heard a calling that he needed to go and 66 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: help out his family. His blood comes from Ukraine family roots, 67 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: and so he relocated because he has military training and 68 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: background and he wanted to help, so he relocated over 69 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: a year ago to Ukraine. There's a war going on, 70 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: that's why he went there. But it's pretty wild that 71 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: he's he's not fighting on the front lines, but he 72 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 1: does end up near the front lines because, without giving 73 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: too much away, he helps bring the supplies that the 74 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: Ukrainian military is using against the Russians. I don't even 75 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: know all the details and all that, and he hasn't 76 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: told me everything because he can't tell me everything. He 77 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: did tell me that they can't use Wi Fi because 78 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: of the Russian drones. They monitor that and then if 79 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: they find you using the Wi Fi, kaboom, it's over. 80 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: So they can't use that, can't use the internet out 81 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: in the battlefield. So there's a lot going on with 82 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: that logistically. And he hasn't called the show in a while, 83 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: and he still listens to the podcast. He's not he's 84 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: not doing it every day. I'm not sure exactly how 85 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: often when he's doing it several days a week at 86 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: least he's helping out their military and then the rest 87 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: of the time he's got downtime. And so he called 88 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: up the other day, Jay Scoop called up on a 89 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: static filled line with beeping every so often, you know 90 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: that kind of thing, and he gave us a snapshot 91 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: of what life is like living in a major city 92 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: in Ukraine during a war and the phone beeping and 93 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: being static. He is one problem. And there's a lot 94 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: he had to make a lot of a lot of effort, 95 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: a lot of energy was expended for him to even 96 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: call the show because he had to. He had to call. 97 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: I think his father was involved. There's a lot of 98 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of steps to it. So he 99 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: calls up and he give us a snapshot. And the 100 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: power grid in the Ukraine is so messed up because 101 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: of all the military activity that they they get power 102 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: if they're lucky four to six hours a day, that's it. 103 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: The rest of the time they have power. Now they 104 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: get really nasty winters in the Ukraine. So what's going 105 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: to happen there? Can't turn your heater on. 106 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 3: I don't know. 107 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: What's going to happen with that, there'll be no power, 108 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: talked about the sound of military bombs and whatnot off 109 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: in the distance, constant tension and whatnot. And he also 110 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: pointed out that since he's been in Ukraine for over 111 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: a year, he now has a girlfriend who is Ukrainian 112 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: and he actually wants to come back to the States. 113 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: He'd like to bring his girlfriend. I want to leave 114 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: her in a war zone, which is a noble thing 115 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: to do. However, he talked about how difficult it is 116 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: with the visa. 117 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, the visa. Yeah, it's like ninety day fiance. 118 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're dealing with a war zone and the 119 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: whole thing, and you know, it's a big mess. But 120 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: it was great to hear him, and I'm so happy 121 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: he was able to call in. Hopefully he'll check in 122 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: more often. I also didn't get to the idiom of 123 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: the week yesterday, which is actually a follow up and 124 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: kind of ties into the mailbag. So why don't we 125 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: start the mailbag with Ohio out It's remember last week 126 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: Sarah in Minnesota. I forget which day it all runs together, 127 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: but Sarah and Minnesota a big fan of the show. 128 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: She asked about the origin of push it back, meaning 129 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: to delay something. Yeah, I couldn't find it. However, the 130 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: great power of the bully pulpit here Danny, one of 131 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: our other listeners was able to find it. Did a 132 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: better job than me. I guess I did a half 133 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: assed job. Bad job by me, And he emailed me. 134 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: This is Hank in Tokyo, who is a p one, 135 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: listens to the Overnight Show and this podcast and clearly 136 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: an og of the linguistic ninja powers as he saved today. 137 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: He sent me the following correspondence. He says, I cannot 138 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: find a meaningful origin story, and I would guess that 139 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: there almost certainly is an earlier usage. But given the 140 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: speaker qualifies the meaning of the idiom by explicitly clarifying 141 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: with the word postpone, there's a lot of verbiage in this. 142 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: But he says, now the rest of the story, which 143 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: I love. I quote Paul Harvey all the time, and 144 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: now for the rest of the story. The origin he 145 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: found for the use of push it back meaning to 146 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: deny something, he credited with President Ronald Reagan in the 147 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 1: early nineteen eighties. He said the earliest usage of push 148 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: it back with the intended meaning of postpone or delay. 149 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: I hope you're listening, Sarah. This is from Hank in Tokyo. 150 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: He says that he could find was President Ronald Reagan 151 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: wall in office during an interview in the Oval Office 152 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: on the twentieth of January nineteenth eighty two. Is that 153 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: what he got sworn in? Yeah, it probably was right, 154 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: because January twentieth is when they swear in the new president. Anyway, 155 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: the quote from Reagan was, now these people, these other 156 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 1: economics economists, and as I say, I myself believe that 157 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: was we had to compromise. Very possibly we wouldn't have 158 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: had this recession, and if we had had, it would 159 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: not be as severe as it is. And now to 160 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: the money part of the quote. So rather than push 161 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: it back or postpone, no, President Reagan said in nineteen 162 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: eighty two, the thing that I would yield to, if 163 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: it could practically be done, would be to move it forward. 164 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: So he used push it back and. 165 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 3: Move it on. I looked it up for you. Reagan 166 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 3: was sworn in on Tuesday, January twentieth, nineteen eighty one. 167 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: Okay, so we had already been the president for a year. Okay, 168 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: all right, so very good. Yeah, that makes sense.

Ben, how nervous scared 202 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: were you to the possibility of Mike the Irish Leprechaun 203 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: meeting you in the North and a month ago when 204 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: we met And have you ever been nervous or scared 205 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: to meet someone that is a fan of your show? 206 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: Either you go, Ben or Covino and Rich Danny G. 207 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: That's from Masshole Mickey. I don't know what it's scared 208 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: is the right word. I don't know. There's only been 209 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: one time where I was a little freaked out. That 210 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: was with Doc Mike on a dark street in Kansas 211 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: City with a screwdriver. That freaked me out a little bit. 212 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: Other than that, and most people are nice. I mean, 213 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: somebody's gonna take the time to come out to a 214 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: meet and greet. They're probably because they like you and 215 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: they want to meet you and stuff like that. And 216 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: there are some people that have shown up that are 217 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: dishevel that. We had a guy the one we did 218 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: in Vegas, Mike from Vegas, was drinking. He was drinking 219 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: mouth washed out of the bottle as his beverage. That 220 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 1: was a little odd. It's depressing, upsetting, I know, somewhat 221 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: heartbreaking that he's so down on his luck that he's 222 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: doing that. And there was some people that I don't 223 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: think took a shower in the last couple of years 224 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: that showed up, which was a little odd. There was 225 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: one guy that showed up I was baffled by because 226 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: he was walking around he had toilet paper that was 227 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: on his shoe that he didn't notice. I was flabbergasted 228 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: by that at a meet that was years ago. I 229 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: was like, what is this guy doing? What about you, Danny, 230 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: You've done a lot of listener events in your radio career. 231 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 3: I don't think scared of any listener events, but definitely 232 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 3: when I was a teenager in radio, I was scared 233 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 3: of meeting girls that we met on the studio lines. 234 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 3: My name man coworker of mine at the radio station, 235 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 3: his name was Brett Conley. Brett Conley on the air, 236 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 3: and Brett was famous for setting up these listener meetups 237 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 3: with the opposite sex girl who would call our radio 238 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 3: station and Brett would tell me, Hey, Danny, we're going 239 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 3: to go to Danny's. I'm going to get us a table. 240 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 3: You meet me there. That Anna girl, she's she's going 241 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 3: to come meet me. Yeah, dude, I think she's hot. 242 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 3: I could tell from her voice. 243 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: Oh that's always risky. Yeah, always a risky proposition there. 244 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 245 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 3: The old joke and broadcasting is if the girl sounds sexy, 246 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 3: she's probably a really big mama. If she sounds like 247 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 3: to me Moore, she's probably actually good looking. 248 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: It's a hit and miss, you know. 249 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, the voice, the voice could be very deceiving, deceiving. 250 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 3: And this guy, Brett was famous for this and would 251 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 3: pull this move where I told him, I'm like, dude, 252 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 3: the program director is going to find out you're going 253 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 3: to get fired because, first of all, the general manager 254 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 3: and program director would always lecture the staff on not 255 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 3: doing this sort of thing. Brett did not listen and 256 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 3: met as many girls as he could. If he walked 257 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 3: into a Denny's and the girl was already there and 258 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 3: he saw her, or she walked in and he didn't 259 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 3: like the way she looked, he would just walk out. 260 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: It's cold blooded. 261 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, and then that girl then would you know, hate 262 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 3: his guts. 263 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: He was a selective. A selective. You're not supposed to 264 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: be selective. 265 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 3: It's not like he was some awesome prize. 266 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure he wasn't. Yeah, exactly, all right, Well, 267 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: that's that's it. I used to go to Denny's when 268 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: I had my board hop at the time, Julio, a 269 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: single living in Hollywood, did the weekend overnight show, and 270 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: we would cruise into Denny's on a Saturday morning at 271 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: like four in the morning, and we would sit in 272 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: there and the it was the Denny's down the street 273 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: from the studio where they have the hotel wrapped around 274 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: the Denny's. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah, 275 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: and that at the time. I'm sure they've cleaned it 276 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: up now. I'm sure it's not like this anymore. This 277 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: was many, many years ago. This was over twenty years ago. 278 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: It was a hooker hotel. There were pimps and hose 279 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: in the air everywhere. I mean, it was over the time, 280 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: and it was like going to I like going down 281 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: sometimes too. Here in LA We can go down to 282 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: Santa Monica or Venice Beach. Probably Venice Beach is a 283 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: better example. It's like a human zoo, and you see 284 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: what's going on there. Times Square used to be like that. 285 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: Not so much anymore. South Beach in Miami, New Orleans. 286 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: I've not been to New Orleans, but my friends have 287 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: told me it's very similar to that Vegas Fremont Street 288 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: in Vegas. So okay, fine, all right, so we you know, 289 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: we go there and it's just unbelievable. The hookers are 290 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: coming in there to eat their eggs. Over Miami. 291 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 3: Well, I know that hotel. I got locked out of 292 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 3: my apartment in Burbank one day and I had need 293 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 3: of a hotel that was near our studio, and that's 294 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 3: the hotel I got a room at. What an experience 295 00:16:54,760 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 3: man and two doses of penicillin later able to return 296 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 3: to normal. 297 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: So tell the best case scenario. What that hotels. It's 298 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: only bed bugs, that's the best case scenario. 299 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 3: Bugs. 300 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: It's not. 301 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 3: Bed bugs or the clap your choice. 302 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: I mean the ladies there. I do not know how 303 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: many customers they had that particular night, but it looked 304 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: like they were really hard working women. 305 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 3: Uh. 306 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: And it was the end of the night and they 307 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: had their I guess their pimps or whatever they're hanging 308 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: out and just looked looked like they had had some 309 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: pharmaceuticals going. It was quite the quite the scene. We 310 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: saw some fights in there. People fighting with each other, 311 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: women fighting with the other women. It was it was 312 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: quite the story, all right, Thank you masshole Mickey. Next 313 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 1: up is Todd, my buddy Todd. He says, hey, Ben 314 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: and Danny, I have decided to try the fasting diet 315 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: in Aimant and fasting. I have been at it for 316 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: almost a month. Now, well good for you time, he says. 317 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: I first fasted for two days a week, and now 318 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: I'm trying three. I experimented in the first couple of 319 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: weeks with eating a little a few times a day, 320 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: but found that my cravings were stronger that way rather 321 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: than not having anything other than liquids. I think I'm 322 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: finally getting there and have found that drinking plenty of 323 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: water and electrolyte drinks has been crucial help as well. 324 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: Any tips, Yeah, so the electrolytes is the key thing. 325 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: You also want to be careful on what you drink. 326 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 1: Just water with electrotes, but some electrolytes have calories. There 327 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 1: is this great debate in the cult of interminute fasting 328 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 1: whether or not just having electrolytes that have cawries is 329 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: going to end your fasting routine. I've gone back and 330 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: forth on that. When I did my five and a 331 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: half day fast before the TV show when we had 332 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,959 Speaker 1: to go back to Boston and tape some stuff. When 333 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: I did that, I did not use anything other than 334 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 1: salt because there's no calories in salt. 335 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 3: And you look super thin on those opens and close outs. 336 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 3: By the way, Oh well, thank you. You look like 337 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 3: you need a hamburger. Yeah. 338 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: I looked a little anemic. I think I lost too much, 339 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: like too much weight. 340 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, you need some of Looney's steroids. Here's time, Loony. 341 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go down to Tijuan and get some. 342 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 3: Goa good though for the camera, right, because you didn't 343 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 3: want to get that extra ten pounds they always talk 344 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 3: about from the camera. 345 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 1: Lend Oh, yeah, yeah, you know, I made sure. That's 346 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: why I didn't eat for like a month. I ate 347 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: like once a week for a month, just to try 348 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: to make that magic. So Todd, Yeah, I just recommend 349 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 1: a little salt in the water enough enough so you 350 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: get it avoid the headaches fast for a while. Usually 351 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: by the two day mark you start getting headaches, and 352 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 1: it's a problem. 353 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 3: Probably harder for people coming off of caffeine, right, because 354 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 3: you're not a coffee drinker or a soda drinker. But 355 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 3: somebody that's coming off of that trying to fast, it's 356 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 3: probably a harder transition. 357 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. I take like a caffeine supplement sometimes, but yeah, 358 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: if you're a coffee drinker, it's probably not for you. 359 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: Sarah in Minnesota writes, and that she made me smile. 360 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: We talked about Sarah earlier because she had asked that 361 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: question about the idiom and the origin of it. She said, 362 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,239 Speaker 1: I wanted to say some video and photos from the 363 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: Peacock debut of Benny Versus the Penny, and sure if 364 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: you like, and so she sent a bunch of photos 365 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: here she's at her cabin and it's really cool. So 366 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: she's in this rustic, old school cabin that looks amazing. 367 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,959 Speaker 1: By the way, Sarah, I'm jealous. I don't have a 368 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: cabin that's awesome.

I did enjoy Minnesota 374 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: a time, but I didn't go when the mosquitoes were out. 375 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: I didn't go when it was freezing. I went when 376 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: the weather was perfect, and it was just an amazing, 377 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: amazing time at that Malor Meet and Greet Jonathan and Delaware. 378 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: Reacting to a call we had this week from Fats 379 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, he says, Hey, please do a Delaware Valley 380 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: meet up. Just give us some advanced notice here. He says, 381 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: I've been following you around since I was in high school. 382 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 1: Oh my god, Jonathan, damn, how time flies. 383 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:36,719 Speaker 3: There you go. 384 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 1: He enjoys the show. He says, happy football season, which 385 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: begins today, and FATS in Philadelphia invited invited us to 386 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: come to Philadelphia. Of course, we have to pay our 387 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: own way. I'd like to go back to Philly. I 388 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: mentioned this on the Overnight Show. But when I was 389 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,479 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia the last time, the weather was terrible. It 390 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: was rainy and gloomy. The whole time I was there, 391 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: food was amazing. I was walking around like a boss 392 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: South Philly. I was like, oh man, this is like 393 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: Tony Bruno's old stomping grounds and all that. Had a 394 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: great time even with the bad weather. But I'd like 395 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: to go when the weather's good, which I think I've 396 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: already missed the window, Danny. I think I've already missed 397 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 1: the window. Although we are heading into the fall season 398 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 1: and then before you know it's Halloween. Stuff's already up 399 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: at Costco. Have you seen that? 400 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, And the pumpkin spice latte crap is big at 401 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 3: Starbucks and all that. Like all the fall crap is 402 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 3: upon us. But it doesn't make sense for our current 403 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 3: weather because this is the hottest it's been for us 404 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 3: all summer long. 405 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: Those are corporate decisions, Danny. Those are corporate it is 406 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: it's ridiculously hot. It was a pretty mild July, and 407 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: even August was relatively mild. 408 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 3: But September, yeah, over one hundred degree temperatures coming up 409 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 3: for the next few days, and then a big drop off. 410 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 3: Suddenly it goes to like eighty six degrees and then 411 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 3: to like eighty degrees in a week from now. So 412 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 3: it's weird. We had one hundred we had like phoenix 413 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 3: weather for two weeks. 414 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 1: It's like we moved to Scottsdale.

Instead, we're using Lorraina Picks of the 506 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 1: Week with Loraina and Poppy. 507 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 3: How did Poppy's first pick do? 508 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: Well, we don't know. The game is tonight. We want tokay, 509 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: we we're gonna we're gonna change this, gonna morphe a round. 510 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: So tonight he picked on fold. 511 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 3: I thought, I thought maybe he picked the Friday game. 512 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: No, no, it was it was a Sunday night game. 513 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 1: I think we're going and it's gonna change it. We'll 514 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: each have them picked three games. They can pick whatever 515 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: three games they want. One game is not enough. The 516 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: problem is Poppy wants to do his own TV show. He's, 517 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 1: as you know, very modest, and he's like, and we 518 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 1: don't want we just want the picks. We don't need 519 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: all the repartee, we don't need that. So we're still 520 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: messing with that. But we were gonna have Ozzie wazuse 521 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: to one of his picks instead we we were going 522 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: with Larraina. And I love Lorena and I just want 523 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: to point out that quote. I used this on the 524 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: air the other night from Bill Parcells, and he had 525 00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: this line about he saw his wife and his wife 526 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: said how great she was, but she didn't really know 527 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: football right, and it was something like his wife couldn't 528 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: tell if the ball was puffed or stuffed right. And 529 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: in many ways, that's that's our friend Loraina, right. 530 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. 531 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: I love that about her, that she's great at what 532 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: she does, but she's not like yeah whatever. 533 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,239 Speaker 3: So we teased her constantly because last season with that 534 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 3: FSR prediction sheet that's in the studio every year for 535 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 3: her NFC champ, she wrote an AFC team in there 536 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 3: and we tried to explain it to her and she's like, 537 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 3: I don't care. 538 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Well we and Super Marcus Steve can back 539 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: me up. And so she says she's a cowboy fan, right, 540 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: so you're a cowboy fan. So I asked her a 541 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: bunch of cowboy questions and it was like, yeah, who's 542 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: the coach of the cowboys? You know, who is the 543 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: quarterback for the Cowboy I forget exactly what I asked, 544 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: but it was all stuff from from back in the day, 545 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: back in the and she got none, none of them. 546 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: We love her, he's wonderful. And yeah she's on. She's 547 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: out for a few more days. She'll be back later 548 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: this week. 549 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 3: Be it's like the people who do really good in 550 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 3: March madness. Because when she was board operating the Covino 551 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 3: and Rich Show before she went to you, we would 552 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 3: do picks every Friday, and she would win a lot 553 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 3: of the picks, just because when you don't know about it, 554 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 3: you just go with what your gut tells you at 555 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 3: the moment. She based it on logos and colors and 556 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 3: things like that in the city, and she would get 557 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 3: a lot of the picks, right because she's not sitting 558 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 3: there dissecting stats and overthinking everything. 559 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure. And that was quite the stray 560 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: we traded. If you didn't hear about this. Back in 561 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: the day, we traded Iowa Sam and we got the 562 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: rights to Loreina. 563 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 3: We got a cash consideration at least, well, what we. 564 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: Got as an added bonus is we got a new 565 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: water machine in the Smurf kitchen, so we upgraded the 566 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: water machine. That was part of the trade. You didn't 567 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: want to throw that in, by the way, Danny, you 568 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: were like, we're not gonna Coveno and Rich are not 569 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: going to put a water machine in there. You're on 570 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: your own. I said no, Iowa Sam's got a little 571 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: more experienced than Lorena, and we were taking a shot 572 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: with Lorena. And so you have to throw in a prospect, 573 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: which is a suspect. 574 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 3: Well, and of course you didn't mention we got your 575 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five first pick. So yeah, they're all suspects 576 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 3: right until they pan out. 577 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: The water is great and the little Loraina giving out 578 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: love advice. 579 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 3: I'm the doctor next level. What could go wrong with that? 580 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 3: She's a single mom who guys run away from exactly Jim, 581 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 3: and she's awesome. By the way, you, as Chris Myers 582 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 3: would say, you kid because you care. So Jim writes 583 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 3: in from Parts So Known, he says, Hey, Ben, what 584 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 3: do you think of Andrew Siciliano, the new broadcaster for 585 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 3: the Cleveland Rest Yeah, with built in satellites. 586 00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 1: How dare you? 587 00:31:58,560 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 3: So? 588 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: We talked about this on the Overnight Show.

After the constant barrage 628 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,479 Speaker 1: of WNBA and tennis propaganda. 629 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 3: On your show lately. 630 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: I have to ask if you were forced to watch 631 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 1: either the WNBA finals or the US Open finals, which 632 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: one would you watch. Basically, I'm asking you to choose 633 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: between Eddie Garcia and Brian Finley. I'd like your answer 634 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,800 Speaker 1: as well, Danny G. Also, do you guys consider peanut 635 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: butter a liquid or a solid? TSA says it's a liquid. 636 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:32,359 Speaker 1: H that's interesting. Is that true? They think that peanut butter, 637 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,479 Speaker 1: a chunky peanut butter, is a liquid. That's not. It's oil. 638 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 1: It's oil and peanut, right. 639 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. I was gonna say, well, what happens if it's 640 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:46,319 Speaker 3: in the sun. That's true, it melts and yeah. So 641 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 3: the answer to your question, it's a great question, Mike. 642 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 3: It's one of those Sophie's Choice questions. 643 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: There's no good answer WNBA finals or US Open finals. 644 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: So I tried to figure out the US Open tennis. 645 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: How long does a tennis match last? 646 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,320 Speaker 3: Dude? I got the answer too long? 647 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: Okay, So I'll go WNBA. Then I'm gonna go w 648 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: because whatever is quicker and gets me out of there, 649 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,439 Speaker 1: I'm in. I don't want to spend too much time 650 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: and I have been to New York during the US 651 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 1: Open when I was doing stuff for the Dodgers. They 652 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: used to play the Mets every August and the US 653 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 1: Open would be going on, and it was actually at 654 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,320 Speaker 1: the hotel we stayed at. We stayed at the Grand 655 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 1: Hyatt in New York, and they they would have all 656 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 1: these tennis players who would be staying there. So we'd 657 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: see them in the lobby. We're going out to get 658 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: wait for the bus, and they'd be all with their 659 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: their rackets, their managers and all that stuff. So I 660 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 1: didn't know who any of them were, but they were 661 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:43,399 Speaker 1: they were staying there. 662 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 3: I know that the Williams sisters kind of changed the 663 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 3: narrative a little bit, But as kids, we always kind 664 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 3: of looked at tennis as sort of an elitist sport. 665 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, tennis and golf one percent. Now, I'm right 666 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,359 Speaker 1: there right there with you and I. As a kid, 667 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: you were around the same age. We had like these 668 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: fames like Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe, these legends of 669 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: tennis that would would go at it. 670 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 3: But if McEnroe like went on a tirade and broke 671 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,799 Speaker 3: a couple of rackets, you could see that on the 672 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 3: sports machine, the George Michael Sports Machine. Yeah, or maybe 673 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 3: did see highlights. He didn't have to watch the whole 674 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 3: damn tennis match. 675 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:25,760 Speaker 1: Well in LA he could have been one of Rogan's 676 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 1: heroes if he had done that. Possibly we had Mac 677 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: and Roll on the show. I don't need to get 678 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: into that story. Al from the air show, says Ben 679 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 1: as someone who also grew up twenty minutes from two 680 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: different air bases. I was wondering what happened to the 681 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 1: two that were decommissioned by the original Malor mansion. Have 682 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,279 Speaker 1: they been repurposed? Yes, you look it up. There's a 683 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 1: thing called the Great Park which is in Irvine, the 684 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: OC Gray Park, I think it's called, and it's a 685 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 1: they made. It's not even all the military, but some 686 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 1: of the military bases housing. They built houses, and then 687 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 1: the other part of it is this giant park where 688 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,959 Speaker 1: they have an outdoor auditorium and a bunch of cool 689 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: stuff soccer fields, baseball. 690 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 3: Did they leave any warheads for the kids to play with? 691 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 1: Well, if you did, you can find some moreheads. The 692 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 1: other one is more interesting. There was a Tustin Marine Airbase. 693 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 1: They had these giant wooden hangers. We talked about it 694 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,840 Speaker 1: alf and oh that's right, and they were they couldn't 695 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 1: tear them down. They were from World War Two. They 696 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: built these giant blimps and they would they would fix 697 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 1: planes in there because they didn't want someone to see 698 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 1: from you know, spy planes or whatever it is seeing. 699 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: They were so paranoid. So they had these giant wooden 700 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: hangars and one of them burned down a few months back, 701 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:46,800 Speaker 1: and it was very sad. 702 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,360 Speaker 3: That was all over the news, especially here in southern California. 703 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,839 Speaker 1: Also because if you happen to be downwind, you got 704 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,320 Speaker 1: a cloud of poison that came to your city. 705 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,920 Speaker 3: Some ambulance chaser TV commercials pretty soon. 706 00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 1: Yes, were you down win when the hangar at the 707 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 1: Tustin Airbase back in the day burnt down you So 708 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 1: that was a mess. But they built housing there and 709 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 1: they built some shopping and whatnot, which is really crazy. 710 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: And I go back to that area every once in 711 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 1: a while, and as a child, I remember going having 712 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 1: the chance to have the open house and walk through 713 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,319 Speaker 1: tanks and fighter jets and see all the crap. And 714 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 1: now it's like a Costco or a Walmart or whatever, 715 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,479 Speaker 1: like what the heck's going on there? 716 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:29,719 Speaker 3: Man? 717 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 1: What's up with that? Gary from Pittsburgh resident says Ben, 718 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: I've listened to the Mailbag podcast recently. You mentioned you 719 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 1: didn't like salads unless they're Canadian salads. I thought, what 720 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 1: is a Canadian salad? So I used your sage advice 721 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 1: and I just googled it. The recipes I saw were repulsive, 722 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:52,960 Speaker 1: with barley and chickapeas and cranberries, so I thought maybe 723 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 1: that was a p one inside reference. So then I 724 00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:00,760 Speaker 1: went to Google's Evil Twin Urban Dictionary and I typed 725 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,799 Speaker 1: that in and OMG, if that's what you like, your 726 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 1: mama Mahler finds out, it will be benny versus the halfpenny, 727 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,919 Speaker 1: he says. Please tell me what I'm missing, He says, 728 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 1: regarding my last post about steak cooking, I expected a 729 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 1: how dare you? But not a double I consider it 730 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:26,279 Speaker 1: a badge of honor. Well you should, Gary, Yeah, so 731 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,640 Speaker 1: I guess I have to spell it out for Gary. 732 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 1: The Canadian salad is a witty way of saying the poutine, 733 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 1: which is from Quebec oh Corda. The fries top with 734 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 1: cheddar cheese curds doused in beef gravy and did you know, Gary, 735 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,360 Speaker 1: I looked this up for you. This is only for you. 736 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,280 Speaker 1: It's a fun fact about Quebec. The word poutine comes 737 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 1: from the Quebecian slang for mess. They say it's a 738 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,800 Speaker 1: combination of the word mess and the word for pudding. 739 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,880 Speaker 1: And the legend is that boutine is not that old. 740 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,759 Speaker 1: It is not that old. Supposedly it started out at 741 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 1: a in the nineteen fifties, nineteen fifty seven. I think 742 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: it's a long time ago, but in the big picture, 743 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,360 Speaker 1: is not that long. The dish first appeared in nineteen 744 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:24,239 Speaker 1: fifty seven in a Quebec dairy town of Warwick in Quebec, 745 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 1: and a customer asked the restauranteur, this French dude, hey, 746 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: can you put some cheese, curds and fries together in 747 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 1: a brown paper bag? Because the guy was in a hurry, 748 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 1: and the chef, the French chef said oh yeah, they'll 749 00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 1: do whatever he did, and then on his way out 750 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:48,240 Speaker 1: he supposedly said in French the equivalent of that, that'll 751 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 1: make a damn mess. And that combination grew, and you know, 752 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,360 Speaker 1: there you go, and they started adding gravy to it. 753 00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:01,520 Speaker 1: In the nineteen sixties. So that's way too much information 754 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:02,680 Speaker 1: about Poutinea. 755 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 3: You made me hungry for some game day eats right now. 756 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, it is an NFL Sunday Week number one 757 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,520 Speaker 1: continues today and then tomorrow.
