He 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.520 treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:17.480 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:18.360 Wow. 0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:22.320 The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special. 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:29.200 The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in. 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:36.279 The air everywhere, settle in, buckle up. It is the 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:40.120 Fifth Hour with me, Ben Mahler and my guy Danny 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:45.000 G Radio. As it is on like Donkey Kong. Later 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:51.720 this afternoon, we will have football Action, double barrel action, 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:55.680 the number one seed in the AFC, the Baltimore Ravens 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.040 and the Texans. That's the early game today four thirty 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:02.360 Eastern where we do this podcast from Danny G Radio 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:07.480 as the Ravens. Will we get playoff lamar or will 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:12.480 we get regular season lamar for Baltimore Today Acquiring minds. 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:13.920 We'd like to know. 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:18.039 Yeah, you and I both chose correctly last week rooting 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:18.639 on CJ. 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.039 Stroud. Then he do it again. 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.560 Yeah, Well they're big underdogs tech the Texans. They're on 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:30.040 the road outdoors, but that seems like too many points 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:31.920 to me. Just saw the TV show which is still 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:33.360 airing Benny Versus the Penny. 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:35.280 I explained my. 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:41.520 Consternation with the Ravens and that big a points spread 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:45.200 and all that. The Texans have been playing pretty well. 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:47.240 Their defense is not that great. They've had a lot 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.520 of injuries on the defensive side, but I tend to 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:54.320 lean towards that side anyway, the Texans overall because of 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:57.000 the points spread. And then the late game at eight 0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:00.120 fifteen Eastern five to fifteen local time in the Bay, 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.520 brock perty and the number one seed, the forty nine 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:05.760 Ers in the NFC will take on. 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:07.560 The Cheeseheads, the cheese Curds. 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:13.680 The Packers in the primetime game on a Saturday night tonight. 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:17.120 So those are the two games on tap today. Packers 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:20.280 a big underdog in that game, the Niners arrested. They've 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:22.960 got a healthy squad going to that game. Brock Purty, 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.880 as I said on the TV show, Danny, he's still 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.920 for me on Double Secret Probation. I'm still not quite 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:33.320 all in on that. But on this podcast we have 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.440 Oscar the Grouch and mister Snufflove. I guess would be 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:41.880 proud Mango saw us and unlocking the secret code. There's 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.519 some other things we may or may not get to 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:47.440 depending on on the time, but this being the Saturday Podcast, 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:51.520 an opportunity for myself and for Danny to give you 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:58.400 inside skinny behind the microphones, never before told stories. You 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:04.480 think of the exciting lives, radio personalities, live podcast stars 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:09.880 wrong just on the pulse of pop culture and society 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:14.880 unless we're not so. As we mentioned in the Friday podcast, 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:17.880 if you were listening to yesterday's podcast, we talked about 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.239 my trip last weekend to Lost Wages, Nevada. It was 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:26.359 a celebration or our colleague Rob Parker, who threw himself 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:31.399 a massive birthday party. I'd put some photos up on 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:35.840 my Facebook page, on Instagram, Ben Mahler on Fox and 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:39.240 all that Ben Maller show on the different pages, but 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.880 you can check that out. It's a massive haul. A 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.520 couple hundred people were there, big names, whatnot. It was 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.520 a fun event and so now I can give you 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:52.720 some other details around around what happened here. So we 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.160 drove to Cincindia, as I mentioned on the Friday pod, 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.560 in the afternoon, but before even checking into the hotel, 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:03.760 me and the y I've made a tactical decision. She 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:10.240 likes to go shopping, browsing, antiquing, I believe would be 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.080 the term. And so we didn't go to some bougie 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:16.920 store that sells diamonds or fur coats. 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.560 On the Vegas Strip. Didn't do that. 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.360 You know, I'm frugal, but we visited I think it's 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:25.039 called like Antique Alley or something like that. It's close 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:28.840 to downtown Vegas, not that far away from the Fremont 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:34.200 Street experience, that amazing hotel, the Circa Hotel and casino, 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.040 which is right right in that area. And so we 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.720 tell we'll go see what they have in these these 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:44.200 little antique shops and whatnot. And it's like a box 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.920 of chocolates and those things. You never know what you're 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.359 gonna find, and you find some really cool stuff. The 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.240 great thing about Vegas when you go to those stores, 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.560 like the thrift stores antique stores in Vegas, is they 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:59.719 have a lot of old Vegas stuff, memorabilia, nick knacks, 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.520 stuff from the casinos, the glory days of Vegas before 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.159 before they started taking advantage of the people that go 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:10.000 to Vegas when the back when the mob ran Vegas, Danny, 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:10.840 back when Vegas. 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.320 I was gonna say, these are some of the interior 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:18.440 design items that mobsters had inside their apartments, condos, homes 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:19.480 and hotel suites. 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:21.160 Yeah, this is when they would give you a prime 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:24.360 rib dinner for three dollars and ninety nine cents, and 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.640 they knew you would give them all the other money 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.240 in your pocket at the slot machines and the tables 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.080 and all that stuff. And there were no ridiculous resort 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:33.200 fees back then. 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:34.960 And all. 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:39.720 So, anyway, did we buy anything? Yes, was it Las 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.359 Vegas theme? Was it an old slot machine? Or was 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:47.800 it like a jacket from Bally's back in the No, No, 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:53.880 we bought something where if you could go back in 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:59.080 the hot tub time machine childhood. Benny would tell you 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:03.000 that his his friends Oscar the Grouch and mister Snufflegophagus 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:11.920 would be very proud. Why we bought Danny a muppet? 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:17.120 Not a puppet. We bought a muppet. What's in the box? 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:20.640 And I'm not talking about like some kind of fake muppet, like, 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:21.920 we bought a real muppet. 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:25.799 You said, snuffle up Agus, Yeah, mister Snufflepus. 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:27.800 Was it a big puppet or a. 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:30.159 Well, no, no, this is a little baby one. 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.880 But but still, I mean, mister Snuffalupagus was friends with 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.760 regular sized muppets, you know he was. 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:37.600 He wasn't in the show very much. 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:39.560 I was always like, it's like always Big Bird and 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:40.800 Oscar the Grouch and Cookie. 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.400 You're right, it was an exciting moment when he would 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:44.240 appear on screen. 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.280 Yeah, it was special, like a rock star. I had 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:49.080 a theory on that when I got older and I 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:52.000 looked back that it must have been such a pain 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.760 in the ass for the people on Sesame Street to 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.360 do a scene with Snuffalophagus because there had to be 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:58.839 like three people in that outfit. 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:04.320 Ah, when Spidey would come on the Electric Company. 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:06.760 Yeah, yeah, they had to like it was such a 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:08.640 panastic probably right, we can only do this like once 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:12.440 every ten episodes or something like that or whatever it was. Anyway, 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:14.840 so we bought a muppet and it's like the real deal, 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:17.440 And how many people can say they. 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:18.240 Own a muppet? 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.200 Did you bring this to Rob's birthday party? Get up 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:22.760 on stage and perform? 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.040 I considered it, but I decided better than that. 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:30.960 My wife actually wanted it because she said it looked 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:31.840 like her grandfather. 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:33.480 I don't know if that's good or not. 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:35.920 She said it kind of reminded her of her grandfather who 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.120 passed away a couple years ago. So we are the 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:43.040 proud muppet parents, doting parents of a muppet. Now, probably 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:47.320 post a video if I remember this afternoon, so you 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.040 can see what I'm talking about. Danny, hand to God, 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.240 this is not some shitty muppet. This is like the 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.400 real deal. This is you could see this on teleh. 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:59.640 I think you are ready to do your food review 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:03.840 on YouTube, because anybody who's anybody on YouTube ben they 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:07.760 have a muppet on their show. For instance, Miss Rachel, 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:12.520 who talks to every toddler, infant, preschooler across our country 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:16.880 with sixty five million views on each video. She has 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.960 a couple of muppets with her on the show. And 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.160 just a few days ago, as I was watching this 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.160 with baby CoA, I wondered to myself, where did she 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:28.280 get those muppets? She's just like a regular teacher lady. 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.760 Where did she get the damn muppets from? 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:31.520 Yeah? 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.720 I had never thought of even owning a muppet. Why 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.319 would I I'm a middle aged man, Why would I 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:41.200 need a muppet? But when a muppet falls into your life, Danny, 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:43.480 you have to take advantage of the opportunity. It's not 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:45.600 every day that you come across a muppet. And it 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:49.360 was serendipitous that we happened to walk into the right 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.240 store at the right time and they just they had 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.320 a muppet and it was calling our name and said 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:58.000 I want to be your muppet. And we said, okay, 0:08:58.120 --> 0:08:59.360 we'll let you be our muppet. 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:00.600 Wow. 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:02.800 That was expensive. 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:07.080 Uh, it was not for the quality of it. It wasn't. 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:07.800 I mean it's not. 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:11.520 It wasn't extravagant, but it'd probably been sitting around for 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.160 a while, so you know, it was it was. It 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:18.040 was reasonable, but it was so unique. You know, you 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.480 need things like that. They're they're good conversation starters. Like 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:23.040 next time you come over to the Malor. 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:24.840 Mansion, Danny, you'll know the story. 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:26.920 But people that show up that don't know the story, 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:28.400 don't listen to the podcast, will be like, what do 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:28.640 you have? 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:30.280 What is that? Why do you have that there? 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:35.400 So instead of replacing Baby Bella with a new puppy, 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.400 you guys replaced her with a muppet for now. 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:40.760 But we are we are efforting. 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:42.599 In fact, I hope to have an announcement maybe on 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:48.479 next week's podcast, that we are closing in on the replacement. 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.839 I don't know, I say replacement. You can't replace Bella. 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:51.880 I mean that's Bella. 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.400 But the next the next chapter. 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:58.560 Yeah, she's like Beyonce, She's irreplaceable. 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:02.600 Exactly, exactly.

How long do you think 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:36.880 it was to drive those nine miles at six thirty pm. 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.960 Oh, you can't go anywhere in LA for less than 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.560 thirty minutes, but I'll go forty minutes on that. 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.600 It took fifty eight minutes to get. 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.080 There, one hour to go nine miles. 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:49.600 One hour to go nine miles. 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:50.800 So and then you had to go. 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.280 Back though that's the other day and there's traffic still 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:55.480 probably effed up because you're probably only there for a 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:56.560 few minutes, right. 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.199 Yeah, And as I'm sitting in bumper to bumper traffic. 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.959 By the way, She's messaging me saying, what time are 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:06.120 you going to be here exactly? Oh boy, And I'm like, 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:09.199 I don't know. I'm not lord God of traffic. I 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:12.560 don't know what time. The ways app keeps changing. I 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.600 don't know. I also needed to stop at the ATM 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.640 to get some cash out for this item. Okay, so 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:22.440 I find a stupid Bank of America, I get the cash, 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.480 I get back into bumper to bumper traffic. 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:26.599 I finally get to Glendale. 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.120 It's been a shitty hour of all these cars and 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:33.079 traffic lights and yeah, I finally get to the address. 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.440 I'm standing in front of what looked like a haunted 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:40.600 apartment complex and this lady's not coming out, and I'm 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:44.720 messaging her like, hey, I'm here nothing for like seven minutes. 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:48.920 My emergency lights are on, I'm illegally part Finally she messages, 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:49.560 I'm coming. 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.000 Let's get on with the show. Now. 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.240 Are you thinking at this point she wasn't going to 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:55.960 show up until she messaged you? You're like, did I 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:59.120 just drive all this way and she ghosting me? 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:00.280 She's ghosting me? Yeah? 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:01.400 I thought that for a second. 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:02.920 I was like, I swear to God if I get 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.200 ghosted on this, after all the trouble it took to 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:06.640 get here. 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:08.240 Finally I figure it out. 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:12.240 She's across the street and it's this Russian lady with 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:17.760 a thick accent, racist, and she's got the hip hop 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:22.880 bouncer sitting at her feet. Seemed pleasant enough, but she 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.400 also kind of had a like a resting bitch face, 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.400 and so that's just a Russian thing, you know. 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:32.400 Racist. 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.679 I'm looking at this bouncer and it doesn't look as 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.160 good as it looked in the ad. I had to 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.720 stop at the ATM. I had to stop to get gas. 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:43.679 By the way, there was this whole big production. And 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:45.400 now I'm looking at this thing, and I'm like, this 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.280 thing's not worth fifty bucks. You know, we should have 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:51.880 offered her forty if the pictures had been accurate. Yeah, 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:56.720 and Ben, this smell is radiating off of this hip 0:13:56.760 --> 0:14:02.080 hop bouncer. It smelled like a mixture of mangoes and cleaner. 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.720 Who oh boy. 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:08.559 She could see the puzzled look on my face, and 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:12.400 she said, my daughter ate mangoes in it today, but 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:13.240 do not worry. 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:17.199 I cleaned it. I cleaned it, and I'm. 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.200 Thinking to myself, if you have this thing up for 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:22.680 sale and you know I'm coming already, now it's the evening. 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:24.760 You knew I was coming to buy this thing. Why 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.840 would you have your daughter sitting in this thing you're 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:32.520 selling eating mangoes. Damn it, I'm here already, So I 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.880 give her the cash. I carry a stupid thing across 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.560 the street. I'm trying to get it in the trunk. 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:42.560 The trunk's not deep enough. I put my passenger seat 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:44.640 all the way back. I could barely get it in 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:48.080 the passenger side. But now I'm sitting next to this 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:51.840 thing that just reeks of lysol and mangoes. 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:53.640 You get away from me. 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:57.200 Yeah, so, Danny, though, the moral of the story, if 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:00.680 you had gone five minutes away you when you told 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:03.080 the person to go pound sand I don't need this right, 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:06.240 but because you had to drive an hour, you're like, 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:07.480 I kind of have to get it. 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:10.160 Is Is that what that sounds like? What you're saying 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:10.440 to me? 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.440 Told my better half, I said, well, once you disinfect 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.040 it and the little seat thing comes off of it, 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.360 I guess you could put it in the washer. I said, 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.320 once you wash that and you disinfect this thing, and 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:26.320 he's having fun sitting in it and bouncing. Hopefully we'll 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.440 be able to laugh about this someday, but right now 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:29.120 I'm pissed. 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:30.640 Yeah, you're exactly right. 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.400 And I feel like it's a tactic by certain sellers 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.840 pictures that are not accurate, and then they want you 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:40.040 to come to them. They won't meet you because they 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.280 know if they do part of the work they drove 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:42.840 for nothing. 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:47.560 It reminds me a bit of human nature. And I 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.640 talked about this the other day. With those restaurants where 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:54.640 they have like endless French fries or endless shrimp or pastah. 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:58.640 They they know that people hate asking for things and say, 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.840 you know, being denied. So like if you go to 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:05.880 a restaurant that has endless pasta and you ask for 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.280 a second plate to pasta, they give you a smaller 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.120 plate to pasta, but they give you more pasta, and 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:12.320 you do it a second time and. 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.000 They give you a smaller plate to pasta. 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:16.960 But most of the time people don't ask more than 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:18.880 a couple times because they feel guilty. 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:21.040 And I feel like they're trained. 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:25.400 They train the staff to look perturbed whenever you ask 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.520 for a refill or for another plate. The waiting staff 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:31.520 always looks like you're inconveniencing them. 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.080 Yeah, yeah, exactly. But it's a human nature thing. 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:37.280 It's like, you know, you, you, you're a good soul. 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.640 You're like, I spent an hour of my time. You're 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:43.160 probably doing the cost benefit analysis? How much do I 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:45.320 get paid an hour? What could I have done with 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.880 that hour? That's the most valuable commodity I have is time. 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.600 I gave an hour of my time to sit in 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.040 traffic for this stupid piece of shit. 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:55.560 And then you know, and you're. 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:57.480 Doing that whole thing, so you're like and then you're like, 0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.200 well the woman. I told the woman I would give 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:00.480 her the money on us. 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.280 So so you ended up doing it. Yeah, there you go. 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:05.600 And you got mango too, a nice mango smell for you. 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.600 And I don't ever want to smell liceol ever again. Either, 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:10.280 Good Fire, get out. 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.680 A life hack I would like to share with the class. 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:18.440 If you are a regular listener to the radio show 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:24.399 and this podcast, you know that while I enjoy Las Vegas, 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:29.200 I have a love hate relationship with Lost Wages Nevada. 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.960 It is simply not the town that I remember. We 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:33.640 talked about this a few minutes ago, was I'm about 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:36.280 the Muppet and how Vegas used to be when the 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.560 mob ran it, And now the town's not run by 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:41.359 the mob. It's run by a bunch of pickpockets that 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:45.080 pull your credit card out at every expense. Parking that 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:49.240 blows me away, the parking fees that just still insanity 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:52.960 to me. Uh, and just every little nickel and dime thing. 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:55.720 But another thing that I've griped about over the years 0:17:55.960 --> 0:18:02.800 is the dining experience in Vegas. There are absolutely amazing, 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:06.320 mouth watering restaurants from all over the world. The top 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.800 chefs in the world either go to Vegas or have 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:13.639 their restaurants placed in Vegas, and they're almost all on 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.880 the Las Vegas Strip. It is an amazing place if 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:20.640 you are a foodie. But all of those little eateries, 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:24.000 all of those restaurants have one thing in common. They've 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:28.000 all followed the mantra, how can we price gouge the 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:33.720 customer the most right? How can overpriced food drinks? 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:34.199 All of that? 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:40.879 And so, after years of getting my wallet ripped open 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:46.760 general disappointment with the overpriced nature of the food in Vegas, 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:52.840 this past weekend I had an epiphany. Dan finally discovered 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:54.919 after all these years, a workaround, and I would like 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:56.679 to share it with the class. If you're planning on 0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:59.520 going to Vegas upcoming the super Bowl is a few 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:01.320 weeks away, I'm sure you'll be there Danny for that. 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:04.399 If you're planning on going to Vegas, either you're in 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:07.040 the area or you're flying into Vegas from somewhere else, 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:08.280 I'm gonna give you a life act. 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:09.240 It'll change your life. 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:12.199 We were unable, me and the wife were unable. We 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:15.800 were able, rather not, we were able to unlock the 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:20.199 secret code for eating in Vegas. And the key to 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:22.840 eating in Vegas is to not eat in Vegas. The 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:25.520 key to eating in Vegas is to make the drive 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:30.040 over to Henderson. That's the next town over. 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:32.960 Yeah, oh, I know, I know Henderson. 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:37.400 Well yeah, uh and Henderson. I had not been to Henderson. 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:38.840 I don't remember being in Henderson, but. 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:39.399 It reminded me. 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:41.800 For those that are in LA or have been to LA, 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:45.400 kind of reminded me of a mix between the San 0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:50.440 Gabriel Valley covena Glendora, a zou'za. 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:51.720 Mix with a little bit of the OC. 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:55.240 That's kind of what It reminded me of if you're 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:57.640 not familiar, you have no idea. I'm speaking like Chinese, 0:19:57.640 --> 0:19:59.800 but that's what it reminded me of. And now, if 0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:03.120 I I lived in Vegas, which based on the taxation 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:06.119 without representation in California, I might consider, but I would 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:08.399 live in Henderson. I would actually live in hes because 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:10.879 it's away from the hustle and bustle the strip, but 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:13.240 it's still close enough to be right near the action. 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:17.600 So get to the point place, all right, Malar of 0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:21.639 Food Review. I had not one, not to but three amazing, 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:26.600 amazing culinary experiences that I would like to pass on. Danny, 0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:28.720 you're gonna be in Vegas. I don't know if youre 0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:30.159 gonna be able to travel around, if you're gonna have 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:33.160 a car or not. But our first stop, we even 0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:35.560 stopped here before we got to our hotel. Also and 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:40.200
