Speaker 1: Kubbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in.
Speaker 3: The air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Big Ben
Speaker 3: and Danny G. Sliding into a day that is forgotten.
Speaker 3: Always feel bad for the third of July and the
Speaker 3: fifth of July today being the fifth of July, because
Speaker 3: it just does not get the same level of love.
Speaker 1: But we're hanging out as always with Dany G radio.
Speaker 4: The microphone throttler in the middle of a four day
Speaker 4: weekend for a lot of people.
Speaker 3: Well, I hope you had a fourth you survived, which is.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the Fourth of July, Danny
Speaker 1: is survival.
Speaker 4: Not sure. You haven't seen my left hand.
Speaker 3: My right hand was getting a workout, that is true,
Speaker 3: So I just wrapped myself what I do at the
Speaker 3: Mallor House every year. Danny, I don't know about you,
Speaker 3: but I'm more patriotic to you. I wrap myself and
Speaker 3: old glory, red, white and blue. Wow, And that's what
Speaker 3: I do. That's why I've always done that, going way
Speaker 3: back in time.
Speaker 4: I light eighties with my right hand, holding them in
Speaker 4: my left hand, and then I play a game to
Speaker 4: see if I can get it out of my left
Speaker 4: hand in time before it explodes and.
Speaker 2: Boom goes to dynamite.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, you we call that the we call that the
Speaker 3: New York Giant. I think we call that, right, that's
Speaker 3: what we call that. It's it's a real blast, it
Speaker 3: really is. But I always I flashed back to elementary
Speaker 3: school this weekend. I know today's the fifth digitally, but
Speaker 3: we didn't do this podcast on the fourth edd of
Speaker 3: July because we had the race show.
Speaker 4: But here's the thing.
Speaker 3: So when I was a little kid, it was John
Speaker 3: I remember hearing about John Adams said.
Speaker 1: That they had this celebration that he wrote to as well.
Speaker 1: But it was on July third of.
Speaker 3: Seventeen seventy six. It wasn't like July fourth. While a
Speaker 3: obviously a big day, right, that was the day that
Speaker 3: they had celebration and all that stuff. But it was
Speaker 3: the weeks prior to that that this thing, the Declaration
Speaker 3: of Independence and all that I got got taken care of.
Speaker 3: But big weekend, Big weekend, one hundred and fifty million
Speaker 3: Wieners will be consumed. People love their their sausage. A
Speaker 3: lot of Wieners being consumed. I like the extended Wienner
Speaker 3: three hundred million dollars this weekend of flags, banners and
Speaker 3: stuff made in China with the USA flag that that
Speaker 3: also will be passed around.
Speaker 4: And there you go. Yeah, I get kind of confused
Speaker 4: with the red, white and blue speedos. I don't understand
Speaker 4: that move Like I'm gonna have the flag on my junk?
Speaker 1: Is it what's in it?
Speaker 3: Or is it the Because I don't mind the bikini,
Speaker 3: I'm okay.
Speaker 4: I feel like I know, I didn't say there was
Speaker 4: anything wrong with that, but the speedo that's on a guy,
Speaker 4: and that is kind of weird to have a flag
Speaker 4: on your balls.
Speaker 3: Yeah, now you bring that up, and it's it's almost
Speaker 3: like your intuitive Danny, because today, July fifth, you talk
Speaker 3: about having a bad day to have a holiday. Today
Speaker 3: is National Bikini Day today. Yeah, it's National Bikini Day today.
Speaker 3: Very exciting. Now, When I look at photos of people
Speaker 3: on the beach from the early days of photography, at
Speaker 3: least when it kind of became a thing.
Speaker 1: They were wearing like burkas on the beach.
Speaker 3: I think they had a lot of stuff going on, right,
Speaker 3: a lot of stuff.
Speaker 4: Going on there, and they weren't really concerned.
Speaker 3: About not uh you know, I guess we're worried about
Speaker 3: the sun because they were cold up. And I bring
Speaker 3: this up because it is an actual bikinni day and
Speaker 3: according to.
Speaker 4: History. We're all about history. The song that.
Speaker 3: Helped push the bikini revolution it only it's not that old.
Speaker 3: It goes back to the to the nineteen sixties and
Speaker 3: Brian Hyland song it'sy bitsy teenyweeny yellow polka dot bikini,
Speaker 3: that is what pushed the bikini.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a bad song too. I think it was
Speaker 4: probably cheesy back then. It's really corny when you hear
Speaker 4: that song now.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of music around that time that if
Speaker 3: you listen to it now, it's like, well, that's a
Speaker 3: little hokey.
Speaker 4: In the recording studio, was a producer really like bobbing
Speaker 4: his head like, yeah, this is gonna be a hit.
Speaker 3: Well, some of it is so ridonculous that I actually
Speaker 3: listened to it. Some like the bebop stuff, which I
Speaker 3: think nineteen fifties, But there's a song where I usually
Speaker 3: don't even listen to the lyrics. I just listened to
Speaker 3: the beat, the rhythm.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: I like the rhythm, so that's that's my thing. I'm
Speaker 3: not a big music guy, but I like the rhythm.
Speaker 3: You're the music guy, but I'll listen to the lyrics
Speaker 3: on this one song. It's a bebop song. It's like
Speaker 3: and they're singing in this it sounds great, but they're like, man,
Speaker 3: your wife is ugly, and you're like, you better marry
Speaker 3: an ugly and they won't. They're advising you to marry
Speaker 3: an ugly woman because you'll have a better life. Sexist,
Speaker 3: but it's hilarious how they do the song.
Speaker 4: I forget the name of it, but it's.
Speaker 3: It's pretty funny now the itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow
Speaker 3: polka dot bikini. That song inspired women to get the bikini.
Speaker 3: But to me, Danny, the key point in all this,
Speaker 3: and I think you'd agree with me, and I know
Speaker 3: the Kardashians would agree with me, is the thong bikini
Speaker 3: that did not pop up until the nineteen seventies, So
Speaker 3: that was really the point of demarcation for the bikini.
Speaker 3: And we can thank our friends in Brazil. That's where
Speaker 3: the thong bikini originated. And it was I remember I
Speaker 3: was a kid and we'd go to the beach and
Speaker 3: we'd see occasionally someone in that and my mom would say, wow,
Speaker 3: they're from you know, from wherever that came from, you know,
Speaker 3: some country where that's popular. I guess you was talking
Speaker 3: about Brazil. I have one other fun fact, Danny about
Speaker 3: the bikini.
Speaker 4: You ready here?
Speaker 1: So it started, I mean, the beginning been around before that.
Speaker 4: I'm on the edge of my boxers right now.
Speaker 3: The song, the song really got to go in nineteen
Speaker 3: sixty and then you had the thong bikini pop up
Speaker 3: or pop in in the nineteen seventies. But then in wait,
Speaker 3: there's more in the nineteen nineties, all right, the Olympic Committee,
Speaker 3: realizing we can get ratings on television, they said, you
Speaker 3: know what, We're gonna make the bikini the official uniform
Speaker 3: of women's beach.
Speaker 4: Volleyball white women.
Speaker 3: And has there been anything that has done more to
Speaker 3: help women's beach volleyball than the bikini and at the
Speaker 3: time people complained, they said, this is not right, you're
Speaker 3: sexualizing women.
Speaker 4: What's wrong with you?
Speaker 1: And it's still a thing, dummy.
Speaker 4: That's all my material on bikinishing, and I would argue
Speaker 4: that better than the beach volleyball are the little hot
Speaker 4: shorts that the indoor volleyball girls wear.
Speaker 3: Oh the short yeah, not bad either. I don't have
Speaker 3: any fun facts about the short shorts though. I don't,
Speaker 3: damn it, have any information. When is National Short Shorts Days?
Speaker 3: Do we know when the National Short Short Day is?
Speaker 3: We can celebrate that.
Speaker 4: Sure it'll be coming up on that corny calendar. Yeah,
Speaker 4: we have all that.
Speaker 3: It's also Comic Sands Day today. There's a day to
Speaker 3: celebrate a font. What why would there be a day
Speaker 3: to celebrate a font? I don't know.
Speaker 4: Apparently there is.
Speaker 3: You can celebrate the history of the Comic Sands font,
Speaker 3: which that typeface goes all the way back to the nineties,
Speaker 3: so they certainly need a day.
Speaker 4: I guess didn't.
Speaker 3: They didn't have anything like that before the mid nineteen
Speaker 3: nineties pencil. Next on this podcast, we've got extra Cheesy Bread,
Speaker 3: The Big Impulse mallor meet and greet the hogi hodown
Speaker 3: phrase all the week. We might even mix in a
Speaker 3: fun fact though, So let's get right to it. So
Speaker 3: wrapping up putting a bow on recent events, as this podcast.
Speaker 4: Serves as therapy.
Speaker 3: So my wife's birthday weekend two point zero, we continued
Speaker 3: the celebration at last weekend. It wrapped up the main
Speaker 3: event on that Sunday. Sunday. Sunday, we started the final
Speaker 3: weekend going to Burbank. As our friend like occasionally call
Speaker 3: the show says, we went to the Smokehouse in Burbank.
Speaker 3: This is I've been there a few times over the years.
Speaker 3: I used to work in Burbanks, so I went there
Speaker 3: somewhat more often. I don't live in that area anyway.
Speaker 4: That's a famous joint. Yeah.
Speaker 3: When I was a kid, my mom, we would communally
Speaker 3: get together the family and watch the Tonight Show. There's
Speaker 3: this guy named Johnny Carson who was very popular Tonight
Speaker 3: Show who I don't know, he's dead, but we would
Speaker 3: watch it on a regular basis and Johnny Carson would
Speaker 3: occasionally do this bit where he'd go into the audience
Speaker 3: and ask them questions, goofy questions and if they got
Speaker 3: it right, or even if they didn't get it right,
Speaker 3: he would make a joke that I'm giving you a
Speaker 3: gift certificate to the most famous restaurant in Burbank, the Smokehouse,
Speaker 3: And he'd always like mock he liked it, he said,
Speaker 3: he liked it, but everything else was like terrible in Burbank.
Speaker 3: So we went there, and this place has been around
Speaker 3: since the nineteen forties, I believe, So it's been around
Speaker 3: for a while. And it was place right across the street.
Speaker 3: If you're not from the area, it's right across the
Speaker 3: street from Warner Brothers. And so it's one of these
Speaker 3: places because back in the old days there was nothing
Speaker 3: in Burbank other than a few houses in a movie studio.
Speaker 3: And so people from the entertainment business when Hollywood was
Speaker 3: the greatest thing in the world. I have big movie stars,
Speaker 3: they would go hang out there. Producers and directors would
Speaker 3: hang out and have lunch and dine at the Smokehouse.
Speaker 3: That was that was the thing. So it's known for
Speaker 3: their their garlic bread, their their cheesy bread. And so
Speaker 3: we my wife I we have been there once. You
Speaker 3: wanted to go back. So we went out there, had
Speaker 3: the garlic, cheesy bread, the French onion soup which they
Speaker 3: only have on the weekends. Can't serve that Monday through Thursday,
Speaker 3: only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And while I enjoyed
Speaker 3: my meal for the most part, a lot of bread
Speaker 3: weigh too much bread, gained a couple pounds because of
Speaker 3: that bad job by the bread. I had a yeast infection.
Speaker 3: I guess you could say too much yeast. But we
Speaker 3: had what I call carmageddon that took place. Now we
Speaker 3: went in the afternoon on on Friday. You want to
Speaker 3: take a guest, Danny, how long you know where I live?
Speaker 3: I don't say where I live, but I live in
Speaker 3: the Malor Mansion on the north Woods. You want to
Speaker 3: take a guess how long door to door there and back?
Speaker 3: Just in the car it took to get extra garlicky, cheesy,
Speaker 3: delicious bread, French onion soup.
Speaker 4: And what else? I hate something else, but that was
Speaker 4: the main event. Let's see. You live on a cliff
Speaker 4: overlooking the ocean in Dana Point. So yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: say from there to Burbonk two hours and thirty eight minutes.
Speaker 3: All right, So two hours you think total? Both there
Speaker 3: and back to all there and back. Oh, no, there
Speaker 3: and back. That's three hours and thirty two minutes. All right,
Speaker 3: pens down, reveal answers, reveal answers, and the survey says,
Speaker 3: you'll be happy to know Daddy that on my day
Speaker 3: off other than this podcast is how much I loved
Speaker 3: my wife. I spent four and a half hours in
Speaker 3: the car door to door. Say what, Yeah, took two
Speaker 3: hours to get there. Took two and a half hours
Speaker 3: to get home, bumper to bumper to bump.
Speaker 4: Wow. In other parts of the country, you could have
Speaker 4: been like four states deep.
Speaker 3: Oh true, yeah, I know exactly. I could have gone
Speaker 3: from outside Boston. I could have driven to Maine. I
Speaker 3: could have gone obviously New Hampshire's before Maine. I could
Speaker 3: have gone down to Providence easily, Rhode Island, got over
Speaker 3: to Connecticut. I could have gone on a plane and
Speaker 3: flown to Chicago. In that time, I could have made
Speaker 3: it most of the way to Hawaii. And one of
Speaker 3: the advantages I had. People often will ask me, so,
Speaker 3: why don't you do a daytime show? You can, you know,
Speaker 3: it's the daytime they pay more money on that you do.
Speaker 3: But then I have to deal with traffic. There's really
Speaker 3: really no traffic when you do the late night show,
Speaker 3: and there's one day a week where there's a little.
Speaker 4: Bit of traffic.
Speaker 1: That's Sunday and the Monday people are coming back from.
Speaker 3: Holiday, they're weekend away. But other than that, I don't
Speaker 3: deal with traffic. I used to deal with traffic all
Speaker 3: the time, but I hate traffic. Can't stand it. The
Speaker 3: other way to me to function living here where the
Speaker 3: taxation is insane and there's a lot of problems, but
Speaker 3: at least I don't have to deal with the traffic.
Speaker 3: That's one less problem I have to deal with. But
Speaker 3: I got home from lunch and I was completely gassed.
Speaker 3: I passed out. I don't nap. I had to take
Speaker 3: a nap. I was just a beaten human being from
Speaker 3: the highways and byways which were clogged up like a
Speaker 3: toilet that was poorly you know, with bad plumbing, bad plumbing,
Speaker 3: so man, it was.
Speaker 4: It was wild. But the cheesybread was good, So there
Speaker 4: was that. The cheesy bread made thirty seven minutes of
Speaker 4: the drive worth it the best cheesy bread.
Speaker 1: That's about right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the other four hours, you know, they really sucked.
Speaker 4: But that was all right, really quick, would you like
Speaker 4: a fun fact about Burbank?
Speaker 3: Oh do I of course I want a fun fact.
Speaker 3: Come on, I'm all about the fun fact. Please give
Speaker 3: me the fun Hit me.
Speaker 1: With the fun fact please.
Speaker 4: I lived there for thirteen years, so I found out
Speaker 4: some things about Burbank. Now, you mentioned back in the day,
Speaker 4: the glory days of Hollywood, when the guys wore debonair
Speaker 4: suits and hats and the women of Hollywood were very glamorous.
Speaker 4: You said it was just studios in some residential streets,
Speaker 4: some houses, and which, man, too bad our grandparents couldn't
Speaker 4: have invested in those properties, right, absolutely, And then a
Speaker 4: horse trail was added in Burbank. You could ride horses
Speaker 4: through Burbank. And it's because of a movie star.
Speaker 3: Well, I know, the most famous star that lived in
Speaker 3: that area. I don't know if this is right, but
Speaker 3: he It was actually technically to Luca Lake, which is in.
Speaker 1: Is that Burbank proper or I don't think it's that's
Speaker 1: second that.
Speaker 3: As a different city to Luca Lake. Like I remember,
Speaker 3: Bob Hope was out there, was it, Bob Hope?
Speaker 4: Yeah? No, Well Bob, Bob Hope probably slept with this actress.
Speaker 4: I'm guessing he did movie star Barbara Stanwick. She and
Speaker 4: two others got that horse trail going there, and it
Speaker 4: runs Burbank, maybe even stops at to Luca Lake, because
Speaker 4: I know it runs for a little bit. Uh, But yeah,
Speaker 4: I went there. I read a plaque that's over there
Speaker 4: by one of the parks where the trail goes through.
Speaker 4: And it's just really interesting because you're in the city,
Speaker 4: you see the studios, and then suddenly you smell horse poop.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is the whole to Lucal I live. I
Speaker 3: did live in Burbank, but I worked there on thirty
Speaker 3: four hundred Riverside Drive in a building which I believe
Speaker 3: has now been taken over completely by Warner Brothers. But
Speaker 3: it was right across the street from the Warner Brothers
Speaker 3: studios and Kitty Corner to what used to be my
Speaker 3: favorite restaurant at the time, Dults, which was amazing. And
Speaker 3: I never got to go to the actual te Luca Lake.
Speaker 3: There's an actual lake. It's a private lake. Bob Hope,
Speaker 3: the famous actor who's been dead for over twenty years,
Speaker 3: but he lived right on to Luca Lake and it's
Speaker 3: like a block away from in fact, I'm pretty sure
Speaker 3: on the street I was on. I'm not part of
Speaker 3: the Teluca Lake Chamber of Commerce, but the street I
Speaker 3: was on, which the smokehouse. I parked on this little
Speaker 3: street and there was a gate. I think it's a
Speaker 3: gated area. Am I correct? On that day to Luca
Speaker 3: Lake is a gated community to keep the riff raft out.
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, I've never even seen that lake because of
Speaker 4: the fact it's gated and back in the day it
Speaker 4: was during COVID. I read a biography on Bob Hope.
Speaker 4: He shagged more starlets than all the Hollywood stars in
Speaker 4: the rest of southern California combined, besides maybe Johnny Carson.
Speaker 4: A little later, speaking of Carson, Bob Hope was a pimp.
Speaker 3: And did not have to worry about social media, did
Speaker 3: not have to The story I heard about Hope was,
Speaker 3: and I don't know if this is true or not,
Speaker 3: but I'll just repeat it because he's dead and can'tssume me.
Speaker 3: But one of the reasons that he enjoyed doing those
Speaker 3: tours to visit the troops, Danny was because what happens
Speaker 3: in the tent stays in the tent.
Speaker 1: When you're out at a.
Speaker 3: At a military concert somewhere in Germany or whatever. You
Speaker 3: bring all the hottest young starlets with you, and whatever
Speaker 3: happens happened.
Speaker 5: But we were bombed in Bizourdi, and we were bombed
Speaker 5: in Palermo, and it's in the book.
Speaker 4: I tried to get under the bed.
Speaker 5: I didn't where they get to between the spring or
Speaker 5: the mattress, because they were bombing Daddy and I I'm
Speaker 5: just laying there saying, my whole life passed before me.
Speaker 5: And actually it was my lunch.
Speaker 4: But he's giving from the heart. He was giving some
Speaker 4: other things. Yeah, he was doing it.
Speaker 1: So I found this.
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's true or not, but.
Speaker 3: It says Warner Brothers opened their lot a block away.
Speaker 3: This happened to open it up a block away from
Speaker 3: Teluca Lake nineteen twenty eight. And that is when the
Speaker 3: elites of Hollywood in the nineteen twenties, early Hollywood, they
Speaker 3: discovered te Luca Lake and immediately became the most expensive
Speaker 3: homes in that area. And of course they said, we
Speaker 3: can't allow the unwashed to be here. So they said,
Speaker 3: it's not public, that's it.
Speaker 4: It is a.
Speaker 3: Tranquil, private community. But you can't in that area. There's
Speaker 3: the Great the Bob's Big Boy. There was a I.
Speaker 1: Think they I don't know if the ihop is still there.
Speaker 3: The first International House of Pancakes actually opened up into
Speaker 3: Luca Lake. Yeah, that's a fun fact. That is man,
Speaker 3: is that fun? That's a bonus fun fact. Moving on
Speaker 3: from that, we have the the in Pulse Malor meet
Speaker 3: and greet. So driving back from Carmageddon, Malord travelog wife
Speaker 3: birthday weekend two point zero so the Friday four and
Speaker 3: a half hours in traffic, had to take a nap,
Speaker 3: but we had last minute plans. My eighty six year
Speaker 3: old cousin Jerry and my lovely eighty one year old
Speaker 3: cousin Lynn, his wife decided, you know, we're gonna show
Speaker 3: up to La We head to southern California and we
Speaker 3: want to see you in town.
Speaker 4: They live in the Valley of the Sun.
Speaker 3: And you might remember we talked about them in a
Speaker 3: previous episode a while ago. But Jerry and Lyn s
Speaker 3: your daddle out of Arizona in late June and they
Speaker 3: don't come back until sometime in August. Because it is
Speaker 3: the Valley of the Sun and when you live in Phoenix,
Speaker 3: you're living in a frying pan, and they're at the
Speaker 3: age where they're like, screw that, I ain't messing around
Speaker 3: with that. And so they travel around the country in
Speaker 3: their car and visit family and friends, and they're retired
Speaker 3: obviously they're in their eighties, and so they're in good health.
Speaker 3: My guy Jerry was telling me he did get a pacemaker,
Speaker 3: but everything's good. And when they're in town, you stop
Speaker 3: what you're doing on a dime and you make time
Speaker 3: for family. That's important. Royalty, right, family, royalty. So I
Speaker 3: ended up going out to a nice dinner with my cousins.
Speaker 4: There.
Speaker 1: Italian was on the menu.
Speaker 4: That's some Italian on the menu.
Speaker 3: We went to a very bougie restaurant, which I would
Speaker 3: never have gone to unless I was invited. Got the
Speaker 3: VIP status, not because of me, not because of me.
Speaker 3: Ended up sitting at the chef's table. You ever sat
Speaker 3: at the chef's table?
Speaker 4: Danny? Just once in New Orleans.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd only done it a couple times, and normally
Speaker 3: I did it. I think the times as I remember,
Speaker 3: I might be wrong, but as I remember the times
Speaker 3: I did it, it was when I was with a
Speaker 3: group of athletes who were famous and people knew they
Speaker 3: were famous, and so they were like, hey, you want
Speaker 3: to sit in the chef's table, which is basically in
Speaker 3: the back near the kitchen, private room that type thing.
Speaker 4: So at a private room, Like, what the hell do
Speaker 4: we need a private room?
Speaker 3: It's Italian anyway, Benny the Baller, We went there my
Speaker 3: other cousins. I have a couple of cousins living in
Speaker 3: the area. They showed up, Gavin and Beth. Their names
Speaker 3: were you want to say hello to them? And they
Speaker 3: brought their son. My other cousin, Miles, who happens to
Speaker 3: be one of the smartest people I know. He Danny
Speaker 3: was telling me, and I don't know him that well.
Speaker 3: He's younger, he's a young guy, but he's a literal
Speaker 3: rocket scientist.
Speaker 4: He worked for NASA. He had worked for NASA.
Speaker 3: And then they laid they laid off a bunch of
Speaker 3: younger employees and he was part of that. But he
Speaker 3: was he was a rocket scientist.
Speaker 4: And now that that's awesome because when somebody's sarcastic and
Speaker 4: they're like, what are you a rocket scientist?
Speaker 3: I say no, But my cousin is. I stayed at
Speaker 3: a holiday and express with my cousin, and uh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but if somebody says that to him, he can
Speaker 4: just be like, you know what, actually I am mother sucker.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 3: Well they're not These people are not sports people. The
Speaker 3: Malord relatives don't have the sports team. Sure, yeah, my now,
Speaker 3: my my guy Jerry though, did have seasoned tickets to
Speaker 3: the Phoenix Sun, so he'll ask me about the Sun sometimes.
Speaker 3: But that goes back to when Charles Barkley was playing
Speaker 3: there and he was a younger guy. He's a big
Speaker 3: sales guy. He could sell ice to an Eskimo like
Speaker 3: that whole thing, right, you know, I could sell the
Speaker 3: Brooklyn Bridge and get somebody to buy it who lives
Speaker 3: in you know, in Seattle or whatever. But so he's great.
Speaker 3: He was a great salesman, made a lot of money
Speaker 3: and he's been retired for a while. But he had
Speaker 3: Sun season tickets, so it'll asked me about the Suns.
Speaker 3: He did actually say he doesn't listen to the show,
Speaker 3: but he'll watch the YouTube videos that they post sometimes
Speaker 3: on social media, so it's kind of like yeah, kind
Speaker 3: of and so yeah, he says, you were right about
Speaker 3: the Suns, you know, because it is sucked in the playoffs.
Speaker 4: You were right.
Speaker 3: It sucked, It stuck, but it was fun. We ate Pesto.
Speaker 3: He told stories about life. They went to Seattle on
Speaker 3: their hunting moon in nineteen sixty two. Now why did
Speaker 3: they go to Seattle in nineteen sixty two for their honeymoon?
Speaker 3: They went to the Seattle World's Fair, and that is
Speaker 3: I think they still have this. We discussed this in
Speaker 3: a previous episode of The Potast like they still have it,
Speaker 3: but it's not the thing that it used to be.
Speaker 3: But the World's Fair was like a assive event where
Speaker 3: they introduced all of the new technology that would eventually
Speaker 3: change the world. And in nineteen sixty two they drove
Speaker 3: to Seattle from Arizona to the World's Fair and that
Speaker 3: is where that event. Some of the groundbreaking gadgets that
Speaker 3: were unveiled included at the nineteen sixty two Seattle's Worldfair.
Speaker 3: A pager this was the pager is going to come
Speaker 3: to the World Wow. A cordless phone debuted.
Speaker 1: In a nineteen sixty two World Fair.
Speaker 3: And I would argue that this would be the most
Speaker 3: important thing that came out of the Seattle of the
Speaker 3: World Fair, which is now part of pop culture and

Speaker 4: fact jingle.
Speaker 1: Just a little quick booms.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but facts, but Ben and Danny, you know something
Speaker 3: like that. So high heels originally were not for women. Yes,
Speaker 3: fun factid high heels were originally for men. Yeah, they
Speaker 3: came into the zeitgeist of the world. They came into
Speaker 3: fashion in the tenth century. But when they debuted, they
Speaker 3: were designed for men.
Speaker 4: It was not.
Speaker 3: Until the eighteenth century, eight hundred years later that women,
Speaker 3: more and more women said that's our thing.
Speaker 4: That's our thing. We're into the the high heels. So
Speaker 4: that is my fun factory.
Speaker 3: Now you could argue, if I wanted to be sarcastic,
Speaker 3: that that's con full circle, Danny, that we it started
Speaker 3: out for men, and here we are in twenty twenty
Speaker 3: four and I see a lot of dudes wearing them,
Speaker 3: So I guess said, we've completed We completed the circle.
Speaker 4: One day it was going to wear those to the Olympics. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I saw that.
Speaker 3: Well that's just just great, just absolutely wonderful. As far
Speaker 3: as the foody fun stuff, it's a holiday weekend, so
Speaker 3: it's not there's not too much going on. I saw
Speaker 3: Taco Bell introduce the new jalapeno a ranch nacho fries
Speaker 3: that'll be available for a limited time starting July eighteenth,
Speaker 3: so not yet, and they're bringing back their nacho fries
Speaker 3: lovers pass on the app that's in.
Speaker 4: A couple of days through July night. They're just too heavy.
Speaker 4: They sit in near stomach like a rock. Yeah, I've
Speaker 4: only had them a few times.
Speaker 3: When I was a kid, we lived near Taco Bell
Speaker 3: headquarters and they had a Taco Bell where they tried
Speaker 3: all the new food they were thinking.
Speaker 4: About putting into Taco Bell.
Speaker 3: And when I was in high school, I ate what
Speaker 3: became nacho fries in high school and I loved them.
Speaker 3: McDonald's is giving out free fries for the rest of
Speaker 3: the year every Friday until the end of this year.
Speaker 1: Free fries Friday.
Speaker 3: But of course, as you know, Danny, only if you
Speaker 3: have the app so they can track every everywhere you go,
Speaker 3: all these apps tracking you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the McDonald's app is worth having. That's one of
Speaker 4: the few fast food apps I do have on my phone.
Speaker 3: We learned more about McDonald's five dollars meal deal that
Speaker 3: they actually they started it a year before they launched
Speaker 3: it in Upstate New York. It took them a year
Speaker 3: of market research one year of market research to decide
Speaker 3: they wanted to go with the five dollars meal deal,
Speaker 3: which is at nine hundred locations.
Speaker 4: Come on seven. Last week, I tried to get one
Speaker 4: of those five dollars meals on their app. It's a
Speaker 4: bunch of bullshit. It starts at five dollars. To actually
Speaker 4: get a burger, it's a six dollar. Yeah, it's one
Speaker 4: of those. So the five dollars one is the chicken,
Speaker 4: which is over fried, way too much mayo on it.
Speaker 4: It's like a slimy overcooked, like a huge chicken block. Well, yeah,
Speaker 4: I did hear that.
Speaker 3: It's on a case by case basis of like the
Speaker 3: franchisees of these, like different wrestlers, McDonald's, Windy's, and Taco Bell.
Speaker 4: They can charge whatever they want, okay, so they can
Speaker 4: adjust it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So like they have a cravings box at Taco
Speaker 3: Bell or whatever, but that it's supposed to be like
Speaker 3: five bucks but it ends up being nine dollars. And
Speaker 3: the Windy's they have something called a biggie bag, I guess,
Speaker 3: and that ends up being more in the meal. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so they big big biggie Yes, wonderful, absolutely great, And
Speaker 3: I think that's that's all.
Speaker 4: We don't have other stuff. But it's like a Fourth
Speaker 4: of July hangover, not for us, but for a lot
Speaker 4: of people around us. I know you and I both
Speaker 4: worked during the week right into the hall. A lot
Speaker 4: of our coworkers were already away, and no, we were
Speaker 4: here like the cockroaches who never leave Sherman Oaks, California.
Speaker 3: The cocka roaches absolutely all right. One other final final thing,
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 4: Oh, believe please tell me it's a fun fact.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, it's the phrase of the work.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: This comes from blind Jake, who sent this request. He
Speaker 3: said he's curious but also too lazy to do the
Speaker 3: leg work. He wants to know where the phrase shits
Speaker 3: and giggles came from. Shits and giggles, So I did
Speaker 3: some investigation. I activated the malor Investigation Arm. This term
Speaker 3: goes back seventy plus years, but the actual origins a
Speaker 3: bit gummy.
Speaker 4: Here's what I found.
Speaker 3: Four kicks or just for fun or just for pleasure,
Speaker 3: that took off after World War Two, so that's like the.
Speaker 1: Nineteen fifties ish.
Speaker 3: But shits and giggles is believed to have started as
Speaker 3: a slang term in the military during World War Two.
Speaker 3: But here's a fun fact for shits and giggles, had
Speaker 3: a renaissance, a resurgence. It fell out of the zeitgeist
Speaker 3: sometime in the sixties and the seventies and the eighties.
Speaker 3: But it was Austin Power's International Man of Mystery in
Speaker 3: the nineties that brought back and popularized that term. That's
Speaker 3: already been thirty years, but it started in the military.
Speaker 3: That was a military slang term, and then it died
Speaker 3: off and came back in the nineties with Austin Powers
Speaker 3: International A Man of Mystery.
Speaker 1: That is the phrase of the week.
Speaker 4: That was cool. Those are classic movies.
Speaker 1: I have a plan.
Speaker 4: That's called black Man.
Speaker 3: Absolutely right, we'll get out. Thank you, Danny. It's fifth
