Speaker 1: Kabbooms.
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 sol fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter 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, settle in, buckle up. It is the
Speaker 3: Fifth Hour with me, Ben Mahler and my guy Danny
Speaker 3: G Radio. As it is on like Donkey Kong. Later
Speaker 3: this afternoon, we will have football Action, double barrel action,
Speaker 3: the number one seed in the AFC, the Baltimore Ravens
Speaker 3: and the Texans. That's the early game today four thirty
Speaker 3: Eastern where we do this podcast from Danny G Radio
Speaker 3: as the Ravens. Will we get playoff lamar or will
Speaker 3: we get regular season lamar for Baltimore Today Acquiring minds.
Speaker 1: We'd like to know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you and I both chose correctly last week rooting
Speaker 4: on CJ.
Speaker 5: Stroud. Then he do it again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well they're big underdogs tech the Texans. They're on
Speaker 3: the road outdoors, but that seems like too many points
Speaker 3: to me. Just saw the TV show which is still
Speaker 3: airing Benny Versus the Penny.
Speaker 1: I explained my.
Speaker 3: Consternation with the Ravens and that big a points spread
Speaker 3: and all that. The Texans have been playing pretty well.
Speaker 3: Their defense is not that great. They've had a lot
Speaker 3: of injuries on the defensive side, but I tend to
Speaker 3: lean towards that side anyway, the Texans overall because of
Speaker 3: the points spread. And then the late game at eight
Speaker 3: fifteen Eastern five to fifteen local time in the Bay,
Speaker 3: brock perty and the number one seed, the forty nine
Speaker 3: Ers in the NFC will take on.
Speaker 1: The Cheeseheads, the cheese Curds.
Speaker 3: The Packers in the primetime game on a Saturday night tonight.
Speaker 3: So those are the two games on tap today. Packers
Speaker 3: a big underdog in that game, the Niners arrested. They've
Speaker 3: got a healthy squad going to that game. Brock Purty,
Speaker 3: as I said on the TV show, Danny, he's still
Speaker 3: for me on Double Secret Probation. I'm still not quite
Speaker 3: all in on that. But on this podcast we have
Speaker 3: Oscar the Grouch and mister Snufflove. I guess would be
Speaker 3: proud Mango saw us and unlocking the secret code. There's
Speaker 3: some other things we may or may not get to
Speaker 3: depending on on the time, but this being the Saturday Podcast,
Speaker 3: an opportunity for myself and for Danny to give you
Speaker 3: inside skinny behind the microphones, never before told stories. You
Speaker 3: think of the exciting lives, radio personalities, live podcast stars
Speaker 3: wrong just on the pulse of pop culture and society
Speaker 3: unless we're not so. As we mentioned in the Friday podcast,
Speaker 3: if you were listening to yesterday's podcast, we talked about
Speaker 3: my trip last weekend to Lost Wages, Nevada. It was
Speaker 3: a celebration or our colleague Rob Parker, who threw himself
Speaker 3: a massive birthday party. I'd put some photos up on
Speaker 3: my Facebook page, on Instagram, Ben Mahler on Fox and
Speaker 3: all that Ben Maller show on the different pages, but
Speaker 3: you can check that out. It's a massive haul. A
Speaker 3: couple hundred people were there, big names, whatnot. It was
Speaker 3: a fun event and so now I can give you
Speaker 3: some other details around around what happened here. So we
Speaker 3: drove to Cincindia, as I mentioned on the Friday pod,
Speaker 3: in the afternoon, but before even checking into the hotel,
Speaker 3: me and the y I've made a tactical decision. She
Speaker 3: likes to go shopping, browsing, antiquing, I believe would be
Speaker 3: the term. And so we didn't go to some bougie
Speaker 3: store that sells diamonds or fur coats.
Speaker 1: On the Vegas Strip. Didn't do that.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm frugal, but we visited I think it's
Speaker 3: called like Antique Alley or something like that. It's close
Speaker 3: to downtown Vegas, not that far away from the Fremont
Speaker 3: Street experience, that amazing hotel, the Circa Hotel and casino,
Speaker 3: which is right right in that area. And so we
Speaker 3: tell we'll go see what they have in these these
Speaker 3: little antique shops and whatnot. And it's like a box
Speaker 3: of chocolates and those things. You never know what you're
Speaker 3: gonna find, and you find some really cool stuff. The
Speaker 3: great thing about Vegas when you go to those stores,
Speaker 3: like the thrift stores antique stores in Vegas, is they
Speaker 3: have a lot of old Vegas stuff, memorabilia, nick knacks,
Speaker 3: stuff from the casinos, the glory days of Vegas before
Speaker 3: before they started taking advantage of the people that go
Speaker 3: to Vegas when the back when the mob ran Vegas, Danny,
Speaker 3: back when Vegas.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, these are some of the interior
Speaker 4: design items that mobsters had inside their apartments, condos, homes
Speaker 4: and hotel suites.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is when they would give you a prime
Speaker 3: rib dinner for three dollars and ninety nine cents, and
Speaker 3: they knew you would give them all the other money
Speaker 3: in your pocket at the slot machines and the tables
Speaker 3: and all that stuff. And there were no ridiculous resort
Speaker 3: fees back then.
Speaker 1: And all.
Speaker 3: So, anyway, did we buy anything? Yes, was it Las
Speaker 3: Vegas theme? Was it an old slot machine? Or was
Speaker 3: it like a jacket from Bally's back in the No, No,
Speaker 3: we bought something where if you could go back in
Speaker 3: the hot tub time machine childhood. Benny would tell you
Speaker 3: that his his friends Oscar the Grouch and mister Snufflegophagus
Speaker 3: would be very proud. Why we bought Danny a muppet?
Speaker 1: Not a puppet. We bought a muppet. What's in the box?
Speaker 3: And I'm not talking about like some kind of fake muppet, like,
Speaker 3: we bought a real muppet.
Speaker 1: You said, snuffle up Agus, Yeah, mister Snufflepus.
Speaker 5: Was it a big puppet or a.
Speaker 1: Well, no, no, this is a little baby one.
Speaker 3: But but still, I mean, mister Snuffalupagus was friends with
Speaker 3: regular sized muppets, you know he was.
Speaker 1: He wasn't in the show very much.
Speaker 3: I was always like, it's like always Big Bird and
Speaker 3: Oscar the Grouch and Cookie.
Speaker 5: You're right, it was an exciting moment when he would
Speaker 5: appear on screen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was special, like a rock star. I had
Speaker 3: a theory on that when I got older and I
Speaker 3: looked back that it must have been such a pain
Speaker 3: in the ass for the people on Sesame Street to
Speaker 3: do a scene with Snuffalophagus because there had to be
Speaker 3: like three people in that outfit.
Speaker 4: Ah, when Spidey would come on the Electric Company.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they had to like it was such a
Speaker 3: panastic probably right, we can only do this like once
Speaker 3: every ten episodes or something like that or whatever it was. Anyway,
Speaker 3: so we bought a muppet and it's like the real deal,
Speaker 3: And how many people can say they.
Speaker 1: Own a muppet?
Speaker 4: Did you bring this to Rob's birthday party? Get up
Speaker 4: on stage and perform?
Speaker 1: I considered it, but I decided better than that.
Speaker 3: My wife actually wanted it because she said it looked
Speaker 3: like her grandfather.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's good or not.
Speaker 3: She said it kind of reminded her of her grandfather who
Speaker 3: passed away a couple years ago. So we are the
Speaker 3: proud muppet parents, doting parents of a muppet. Now, probably
Speaker 3: post a video if I remember this afternoon, so you
Speaker 3: can see what I'm talking about. Danny, hand to God,
Speaker 3: this is not some shitty muppet. This is like the
Speaker 3: real deal. This is you could see this on teleh.
Speaker 4: I think you are ready to do your food review
Speaker 4: on YouTube, because anybody who's anybody on YouTube ben they
Speaker 4: have a muppet on their show. For instance, Miss Rachel,
Speaker 4: who talks to every toddler, infant, preschooler across our country
Speaker 4: with sixty five million views on each video. She has
Speaker 4: a couple of muppets with her on the show. And
Speaker 4: just a few days ago, as I was watching this
Speaker 4: with baby CoA, I wondered to myself, where did she
Speaker 4: get those muppets? She's just like a regular teacher lady.
Speaker 4: Where did she get the damn muppets from?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I had never thought of even owning a muppet. Why
Speaker 3: would I I'm a middle aged man, Why would I
Speaker 3: need a muppet? But when a muppet falls into your life, Danny,
Speaker 3: you have to take advantage of the opportunity. It's not
Speaker 3: every day that you come across a muppet. And it
Speaker 3: was serendipitous that we happened to walk into the right
Speaker 3: store at the right time and they just they had
Speaker 3: a muppet and it was calling our name and said
Speaker 3: I want to be your muppet. And we said, okay,
Speaker 3: we'll let you be our muppet.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 5: That was expensive.
Speaker 1: Uh, it was not for the quality of it. It wasn't.
Speaker 1: I mean it's not.
Speaker 3: It wasn't extravagant, but it'd probably been sitting around for
Speaker 3: a while, so you know, it was it was. It
Speaker 3: was reasonable, but it was so unique. You know, you
Speaker 3: need things like that. They're they're good conversation starters. Like
Speaker 3: next time you come over to the Malor.
Speaker 1: Mansion, Danny, you'll know the story.
Speaker 3: But people that show up that don't know the story,
Speaker 3: don't listen to the podcast, will be like, what do
Speaker 3: you have?
Speaker 1: What is that? Why do you have that there?
Speaker 4: So instead of replacing Baby Bella with a new puppy,
Speaker 4: you guys replaced her with a muppet for now.
Speaker 1: But we are we are efforting.
Speaker 3: In fact, I hope to have an announcement maybe on
Speaker 3: next week's podcast, that we are closing in on the replacement.
Speaker 3: I don't know, I say replacement. You can't replace Bella.
Speaker 5: I mean that's Bella.
Speaker 1: But the next the next chapter.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she's like Beyonce, She's irreplaceable.
Speaker 3: Exactly, exactly. She's hopeful and Doggie Heaven enjoying some mango sauce.
Speaker 1: Right, nudferf heff.
Speaker 5: It's the new side hustle.
Speaker 4: My wife and I we have all these baby items
Speaker 4: and any parent knows, you know, they grow out of
Speaker 4: the item. So we've sold some of his you stuff
Speaker 4: on offer up, and we've also been looking ourselves at
Speaker 4: offer up for items that are like two hundred dollars
Speaker 4: but people are selling for.
Speaker 5: Like fifty bucks.
Speaker 4: Okay, my girl shoots me a text when I was
Speaker 4: at work during Covino and Rich, I get a random
Speaker 4: picture of what was called a hip hop bouncer. It's
Speaker 4: a offer up link, and she's like, yeah, you know,
Speaker 4: it's in Glendale, but it's in good condition.
Speaker 5: I messaged the lady through the app. She gets right back.
Speaker 4: To me and she's like, yeah, you can get it,
Speaker 4: and I said great, I'm in Sherman Oaks. Now good
Speaker 4: offer up clients, bend or sellers, they will meet you halfway.
Speaker 4: This lady was difficult. I was like, Hey, I'm in
Speaker 4: Sherman Oaks. Can you meet me, you know, in North
Speaker 4: Hollywood or something like that halfway for both of us.
Speaker 4: She didn't even reply to that. She just wrote back,
Speaker 4: you can pick up in Glendale.
Speaker 5: Oh all right, So this lady's not fun to work with.
Speaker 3: I can tell yeah, Glendale not that far away from
Speaker 3: Sherman Oaks, but with LA traffic about ten hours.
Speaker 5: Dude. I'm glad you bring that up.
Speaker 4: Because I type heer address into my ways app it
Speaker 4: says she's nine miles away. How long do you think
Speaker 4: it was to drive those nine miles at six thirty pm.
Speaker 3: Oh, you can't go anywhere in LA for less than
Speaker 3: thirty minutes, but I'll go forty minutes on that.
Speaker 5: It took fifty eight minutes to get.
Speaker 1: There, one hour to go nine miles.
Speaker 5: One hour to go nine miles.
Speaker 1: So and then you had to go.
Speaker 3: Back though that's the other day and there's traffic still
Speaker 3: probably effed up because you're probably only there for a
Speaker 3: few minutes, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And as I'm sitting in bumper to bumper traffic.
Speaker 4: By the way, She's messaging me saying, what time are
Speaker 4: you going to be here exactly? Oh boy, And I'm like,
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm not lord God of traffic. I
Speaker 4: don't know what time. The ways app keeps changing. I
Speaker 4: don't know. I also needed to stop at the ATM
Speaker 4: to get some cash out for this item. Okay, so
Speaker 4: I find a stupid Bank of America, I get the cash,
Speaker 4: I get back into bumper to bumper traffic.
Speaker 5: I finally get to Glendale.
Speaker 4: It's been a shitty hour of all these cars and
Speaker 4: traffic lights and yeah, I finally get to the address.
Speaker 4: I'm standing in front of what looked like a haunted
Speaker 4: apartment complex and this lady's not coming out, and I'm
Speaker 4: messaging her like, hey, I'm here nothing for like seven minutes.
Speaker 4: My emergency lights are on, I'm illegally part Finally she messages,
Speaker 4: I'm coming.
Speaker 5: Let's get on with the show. Now.
Speaker 3: Are you thinking at this point she wasn't going to
Speaker 3: show up until she messaged you? You're like, did I
Speaker 3: just drive all this way and she ghosting me?
Speaker 1: She's ghosting me? Yeah?
Speaker 5: I thought that for a second.
Speaker 4: I was like, I swear to God if I get
Speaker 4: ghosted on this, after all the trouble it took to
Speaker 4: get here.
Speaker 5: Finally I figure it out.
Speaker 4: She's across the street and it's this Russian lady with
Speaker 4: a thick accent, racist, and she's got the hip hop
Speaker 4: bouncer sitting at her feet. Seemed pleasant enough, but she
Speaker 4: also kind of had a like a resting bitch face,
Speaker 4: and so that's just a Russian thing, you know.
Speaker 3: Racist.
Speaker 4: I'm looking at this bouncer and it doesn't look as
Speaker 4: good as it looked in the ad. I had to
Speaker 4: stop at the ATM. I had to stop to get gas.
Speaker 4: By the way, there was this whole big production. And
Speaker 4: now I'm looking at this thing, and I'm like, this
Speaker 4: thing's not worth fifty bucks. You know, we should have
Speaker 4: offered her forty if the pictures had been accurate. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and Ben, this smell is radiating off of this hip
Speaker 4: hop bouncer. It smelled like a mixture of mangoes and cleaner.
Speaker 1: Who oh boy.
Speaker 4: She could see the puzzled look on my face, and
Speaker 4: she said, my daughter ate mangoes in it today, but
Speaker 4: do not worry.
Speaker 5: I cleaned it. I cleaned it, and I'm.
Speaker 4: Thinking to myself, if you have this thing up for
Speaker 4: sale and you know I'm coming already, now it's the evening.
Speaker 4: You knew I was coming to buy this thing. Why
Speaker 4: would you have your daughter sitting in this thing you're
Speaker 4: selling eating mangoes. Damn it, I'm here already, So I
Speaker 4: give her the cash. I carry a stupid thing across
Speaker 4: the street. I'm trying to get it in the trunk.
Speaker 4: The trunk's not deep enough. I put my passenger seat
Speaker 4: all the way back. I could barely get it in
Speaker 4: the passenger side. But now I'm sitting next to this
Speaker 4: thing that just reeks of lysol and mangoes.
Speaker 5: You get away from me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, Danny, though, the moral of the story, if
Speaker 3: you had gone five minutes away you when you told
Speaker 3: the person to go pound sand I don't need this right,
Speaker 3: but because you had to drive an hour, you're like,
Speaker 3: I kind of have to get it.
Speaker 1: Is Is that what that sounds like? What you're saying
Speaker 1: to me?
Speaker 4: Told my better half, I said, well, once you disinfect
Speaker 4: it and the little seat thing comes off of it,
Speaker 4: I guess you could put it in the washer. I said,
Speaker 4: once you wash that and you disinfect this thing, and
Speaker 4: he's having fun sitting in it and bouncing. Hopefully we'll
Speaker 4: be able to laugh about this someday, but right now
Speaker 4: I'm pissed.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're exactly right.
Speaker 4: And I feel like it's a tactic by certain sellers
Speaker 4: pictures that are not accurate, and then they want you
Speaker 4: to come to them. They won't meet you because they
Speaker 4: know if they do part of the work they drove
Speaker 4: for nothing.
Speaker 3: It reminds me a bit of human nature. And I
Speaker 3: talked about this the other day. With those restaurants where
Speaker 3: they have like endless French fries or endless shrimp or pastah.
Speaker 3: They they know that people hate asking for things and say,
Speaker 3: you know, being denied. So like if you go to
Speaker 3: a restaurant that has endless pasta and you ask for
Speaker 3: a second plate to pasta, they give you a smaller
Speaker 3: plate to pasta, but they give you more pasta, and
Speaker 3: you do it a second time and.
Speaker 1: They give you a smaller plate to pasta.
Speaker 3: But most of the time people don't ask more than
Speaker 3: a couple times because they feel guilty.
Speaker 5: And I feel like they're trained.
Speaker 4: They train the staff to look perturbed whenever you ask
Speaker 4: for a refill or for another plate. The waiting staff
Speaker 4: always looks like you're inconveniencing them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. But it's a human nature thing.
Speaker 3: It's like, you know, you, you, you're a good soul.
Speaker 3: You're like, I spent an hour of my time. You're
Speaker 3: probably doing the cost benefit analysis? How much do I
Speaker 3: get paid an hour? What could I have done with
Speaker 3: that hour? That's the most valuable commodity I have is time.
Speaker 3: I gave an hour of my time to sit in
Speaker 3: traffic for this stupid piece of shit.
Speaker 1: And then you know, and you're.
Speaker 3: Doing that whole thing, so you're like and then you're like,
Speaker 3: well the woman. I told the woman I would give
Speaker 3: her the money on us.
Speaker 1: So so you ended up doing it. Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1: And you got mango too, a nice mango smell for you.
Speaker 4: And I don't ever want to smell liceol ever again. Either,
Speaker 4: Good Fire, get out.
Speaker 3: A life hack I would like to share with the class.
Speaker 3: If you are a regular listener to the radio show
Speaker 3: and this podcast, you know that while I enjoy Las Vegas,
Speaker 3: I have a love hate relationship with Lost Wages Nevada.
Speaker 3: It is simply not the town that I remember. We
Speaker 3: talked about this a few minutes ago, was I'm about
Speaker 3: the Muppet and how Vegas used to be when the
Speaker 3: mob ran it, And now the town's not run by
Speaker 3: the mob. It's run by a bunch of pickpockets that
Speaker 3: pull your credit card out at every expense. Parking that
Speaker 3: blows me away, the parking fees that just still insanity
Speaker 3: to me. Uh, and just every little nickel and dime thing.
Speaker 3: But another thing that I've griped about over the years
Speaker 3: is the dining experience in Vegas. There are absolutely amazing,
Speaker 3: mouth watering restaurants from all over the world. The top
Speaker 3: chefs in the world either go to Vegas or have
Speaker 3: their restaurants placed in Vegas, and they're almost all on
Speaker 3: the Las Vegas Strip. It is an amazing place if
Speaker 3: you are a foodie. But all of those little eateries,
Speaker 3: all of those restaurants have one thing in common. They've
Speaker 3: all followed the mantra, how can we price gouge the
Speaker 3: customer the most right? How can overpriced food drinks?
Speaker 1: All of that?
Speaker 3: And so, after years of getting my wallet ripped open
Speaker 3: general disappointment with the overpriced nature of the food in Vegas,
Speaker 3: this past weekend I had an epiphany. Dan finally discovered
Speaker 3: after all these years, a workaround, and I would like
Speaker 3: to share it with the class. If you're planning on
Speaker 3: going to Vegas upcoming the super Bowl is a few
Speaker 3: weeks away, I'm sure you'll be there Danny for that.
Speaker 3: If you're planning on going to Vegas, either you're in
Speaker 3: the area or you're flying into Vegas from somewhere else,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you a life act.
Speaker 1: It'll change your life.
Speaker 3: We were unable, me and the wife were unable. We
Speaker 3: were able, rather not, we were able to unlock the
Speaker 3: secret code for eating in Vegas. And the key to
Speaker 3: eating in Vegas is to not eat in Vegas. The
Speaker 3: key to eating in Vegas is to make the drive
Speaker 3: over to Henderson. That's the next town over.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh, I know, I know Henderson.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, uh and Henderson. I had not been to Henderson.
Speaker 3: I don't remember being in Henderson, but.
Speaker 1: It reminded me.
Speaker 3: For those that are in LA or have been to LA,
Speaker 3: kind of reminded me of a mix between the San
Speaker 3: Gabriel Valley covena Glendora, a zou'za.
Speaker 1: Mix with a little bit of the OC.
Speaker 3: That's kind of what It reminded me of if you're
Speaker 3: not familiar, you have no idea. I'm speaking like Chinese,
Speaker 3: but that's what it reminded me of. And now, if
Speaker 3: I I lived in Vegas, which based on the taxation
Speaker 3: without representation in California, I might consider, but I would
Speaker 3: live in Henderson. I would actually live in hes because
Speaker 3: it's away from the hustle and bustle the strip, but
Speaker 3: it's still close enough to be right near the action.
Speaker 3: So get to the point place, all right, Malar of
Speaker 3: Food Review. I had not one, not to but three amazing,
Speaker 3: amazing culinary experiences that I would like to pass on. Danny,
Speaker 3: you're gonna be in Vegas. I don't know if youre
Speaker 3: gonna be able to travel around, if you're gonna have
Speaker 3: a car or not. But our first stop, we even
Speaker 3: stopped here before we got to our hotel. Also and
Speaker 3: before we bought the muppet that would be twisted sour
Speaker 3: dough pizza in Henderson, Nevada. And I cannot recommend this
Speaker 3: place enough. Wowsps just great, just great that they sell
Speaker 3: This is a place that sells matsa rellisticks that are
Speaker 3: the size and I don't want to exaggerate here the
Speaker 3: size of my forearm.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I saw the picture of.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got these pizza cones that are like ice
Speaker 3: cream cones, but they're pizza crust filled with tomato sauce
Speaker 3: and the toppings and the cheese and all that. Oh
Speaker 3: my god, I didn't even know they had those. Amazing, amazing.
Speaker 3: We had the sourdough pizza, which was off the chart.
Speaker 3: It was a fat guy's dream this place. So if
Speaker 3: you're in Vegas and you have an opportunity to travel
Speaker 3: over to Henderson, twisted sourdough pizza in Henderson just amazing.
Speaker 3: Later on on that weekend in Vegas, we also aided
Speaker 3: a place in Henderson called Flaming Fajitas, Solid Mexican Food.
Speaker 3: The key to this place, there's a line. We had
Speaker 3: to wait an hour to get.
Speaker 1: Into this place. But it's cool because you can book a.
Speaker 3: Table online and then you're in the queue and they
Speaker 3: tell you when you need to be there to get
Speaker 3: your table. So we waited an hour, but a lot
Speaker 3: of it was in the car drive me there, so
Speaker 3: it wasn't that bad. And then they bring out these
Speaker 3: this big part of your food with the fijidas and
Speaker 3: before they serve it to you, Danny.
Speaker 1: They put on a show. They light a flame.
Speaker 3: And when I say they light a flame on the vedas,
Speaker 3: this thing goes like five feet up in the air.
Speaker 1: It's like almost hitting the ceiling and it's there.
Speaker 3: They're big, they're called flaming fidas, and so they make
Speaker 3: sure that this flame goes all the way to the roof.
Speaker 3: It's crazy and you think the whole place is going
Speaker 3: to burn up when you see this. But it was delicious.
Speaker 3: The only one complaint I had with that place is
Speaker 3: the basket of chips we got was a little Chewi.
Speaker 3: Don't like my chips Chewi, So that was kind of annoying,
Speaker 3: but that was probably just an outlier. Everything else was wonderful,
Speaker 3: So that was good. And then the last stop, also
Speaker 3: in Henderson, Sweet Rays Barbecue.
Speaker 1: It's not Sweet Baby Raise, They's just Sweet Rays.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, yeah, yeah, I see what they I see
Speaker 4: what they did there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is I'm telling you, Dan, you and Covino, Richie,
Speaker 3: you guys gotta go to this place.
Speaker 1: It's I'm not exaggering here.
Speaker 3: It's the greatest barbecue that I've had since I ate
Speaker 3: the authentic Kansas City barbecue years ago. Wow, that good.
Speaker 3: Nine point five out of ten. Would have been even
Speaker 3: higher if the portions had been a little bit bigger.
Speaker 3: But I had a brisket sandwich, brisket fries that was great.
Speaker 3: Just if you're a fan of barbecue and you're in
Speaker 3: the Vegas area. Sweet Raised barbecue, And I wish they'd
Speaker 3: pay me. They don't, but I loved it.
Speaker 1: And then I.
Speaker 3: Also ate it that I don't think it's a Vegas place,
Speaker 3: but I've never seen it in La. Have you ever
Speaker 3: seen pink pink box donuts in La?
Speaker 5: Oh? You know where I saw that?
Speaker 2: Ben?
Speaker 4: I saw someone bringing it onto a box of them
Speaker 4: onto an airplane at the Vegas Airport.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, sure, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: We tried a sampling of like six donuts. We had
Speaker 3: a banana cream donut, which I didn't know was a thing,
Speaker 3: a banana crea. I had a Homer Simpson pink glazed
Speaker 3: donut and like an apple pie donut. Weird, we're things,
Speaker 3: but it's hard to mess up a donut. And I
Speaker 3: had had a donut in a while, so I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: I need a donut. And I got a donut and
Speaker 3: I was happy to be happy to be eating.
Speaker 1: The donut. I was very very pleased with that.
Speaker 3: We have one more thing. I wanted to get to
Speaker 3: Danny before we get out of here. The word of
Speaker 3: the week. Are you ready for the word of we
Speaker 3: not the This is not the phrase of the week
Speaker 3: that was yesterday.
Speaker 1: This is the word of the week.
Speaker 5: Word of the week.
Speaker 1: Word of the week is boone doggle. Boon doggle is
Speaker 1: the word of the week. So boot doggle?
Speaker 5: You love you love saying this word?
Speaker 1: Yes, I do. I love this word.
Speaker 3: So boot doggle means something useless, a waste of time,
Speaker 3: waste of money.
Speaker 1: It's a boone doggle. What a fun word to say.
Speaker 3: Often it's used in reference to some frivolous spending by
Speaker 3: the government where they just flush your money away, and
Speaker 3: so the use widespread.
Speaker 1: This is interesting to me. The word's not that old.
Speaker 1: It originated.
Speaker 3: It was first discovered, according to those that track this
Speaker 3: kind of crap, in Rochester, New York, the flower city
Speaker 3: of Rochester, New York, by the Boy Scouts, and it.
Speaker 1: Referred to the ring used to keep.
Speaker 3: The Scouts neckerchief not handkerchief, neckerchief in place. You know
Speaker 3: a thing that wraps around their neck and that little
Speaker 3: they call that the boone dog. But that's not they think, well,
Speaker 3: that didn't really, that's not what really began. It had
Speaker 3: to begin somewhere else. So they were trying to find
Speaker 3: something similar, and they said there was something in Britain.
Speaker 1: There was a term.
Speaker 3: Also for a Scouts neckerchief as well, but the first
Speaker 3: time that it was regularly seen and used, according to
Speaker 3: the word historians, the word boondoggle from nineteen twenty seven,
Speaker 3: so ninety seven years ago, and it was related to
Speaker 3: the aforementioned Boy Scouts in Rochester, New York. And over
Speaker 3: the years, boone doggle has evolved to mean, as we said, hopeless, useless,
Speaker 3: waste of.
Speaker 1: Time, that kind of thing.
Speaker 3: And it was first used in a newspaper in the
Speaker 3: Rochester Democrat and Chronicle in July of nineteen twenty seven,
Speaker 3: and it was used in a story that was written
Speaker 3: about the Boy Scouts and a group of Boy Scouts
Speaker 3: that were tricked into a job of taking down tents
Speaker 3: after a local meeting and that proved too much for
Speaker 3: a couple of the people that were part of that,
Speaker 3: and it was called a boone doggle. So the word
Speaker 3: of the week, which we can thank the boy Scout
Speaker 3: Scouts from Rochester, New York for using and spreading around
Speaker 3: the country is boone doggle. We'll get out on that.
