Speaker 1: Kabooms.
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.

Speaker 3: Mahler and Danny G Radio and a very good Saturday
Speaker 3: to view.
Speaker 1: It's the fourteenth day of September. We got college football
Speaker 1: from early this morning all the way till the nighttime.
Speaker 1: And Danny G you were not with me. Yesterday we
Speaker 1: had our companion podcast for the TV show This is
Speaker 1: My New Michigan Dandy to turn that in order to
Speaker 1: try to pump up the ratings on the TV show.
Speaker 1: I had this epiphany. I've seen a bunch of these
Speaker 1: companion podcasts, and I thought, well, we should have one
Speaker 1: of those. Why do we do one of those? And
Speaker 1: so the fun all you have.
Speaker 4: To do now really is murder somebody, Ben, because then
Speaker 4: you could have your own murder podcast series.
Speaker 5: Got a murder.
Speaker 1: Yeah, true crime podcast is the way to go, but
Speaker 1: we have our own sub genre, the after Show podcast
Speaker 1: must listen for fans of Benny versus the Pace. So
Speaker 1: that was yesterday and today we're back to the normal
Speaker 1: fun with you Danny. On this podcast. We have the Schmooze, Cruise,
Speaker 1: Come Full Circle, wreck It, Ralph, the Beatles, kind of Bison,
Speaker 1: and if we have time, there's some other stuff that
Speaker 1: I would like to get to, but I don't know
Speaker 1: if we're gonna have time or not. But let's start
Speaker 1: with this. So the Saturday podcast is dedicated to those
Speaker 1: that have the Honeydeist and want to hear us just
Speaker 1: talk about our amazing, fascinating rock and roll lifestyles that
Speaker 1: we live being major radio personalities.
Speaker 5: A bunch of hookers and cocaine.
Speaker 1: In an era where that is respected, that is loved
Speaker 1: and unless it's not but the life of Mather of
Speaker 1: the Life of Danny g So this week I was
Speaker 1: invited to a VIP private private meet and greet our
Speaker 1: friends at Rapid Radios based in beautiful Grand Rapids, Michigan,
Speaker 1: came out to Los Angeles and they're a wonderful partner
Speaker 1: for the radio show. You hear every show there's a
Speaker 1: commercial for rapid radio. Some of you have reached out,
Speaker 1: you have purchased rapid radios. For example, off the top
Speaker 1: of my head, I know Chip in the Cues and
Speaker 1: Syracuse purchased the Rapid radios. So anyway, the big bosses said, hey,
Speaker 1: we need your presence. I said, you know I do
Speaker 1: an overnight.
Speaker 3: I can't.
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't show up when the sun's up. I'm a vampire.
Speaker 1: It's like me with I can't do it. And they said, well,
Speaker 1: we need you, and so I made the rare and
Speaker 1: appropriate appearance that was. That was back on Wednesday, and
Speaker 1: so I I blessed the management folks. I was able
Speaker 1: to see you, Danny, face to face, meet and greet
Speaker 1: with you. And so I I left ridiculous early. I
Speaker 1: live out in the north Woods. It's a very long
Speaker 1: drive to get to the Sherman Oaks studios there and
Speaker 1: the traffic is a nightmare. So I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna get up early. I won't sleep that much,
Speaker 1: but I don't want to sit in traffic. I'd rather
Speaker 1: get there early and not sit in traffic. So I
Speaker 1: made I made it an editorial decision, if you will,
Speaker 1: un if that's the right word. But I was like,
Speaker 1: I just get up early and go. So I got
Speaker 1: up early, I went, and I decided, there's so much
Speaker 1: car theft in La I'm just gonna I have some
Speaker 1: stuff that I don't want to be stolen. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna put it in the studio and then I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go and I'll do the meet.
Speaker 5: That way a coworker can steal it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if someone's gonna steal my stuff, I wanted to
Speaker 1: be somebody from Fox Sports Rado. I don't want some
Speaker 1: stranger to steal that. I want somebody I work with.
Speaker 1: So anyway, I saw you, Danny, I saw wrong Button, Bob,
Speaker 1: my old producer, Bob Gara. Who else? I said, Covino
Speaker 1: and Rich was there? Your guys A Rob Parker, Rob
Speaker 1: Parker and so I was there for a little bit.
Speaker 1: I think it was there for like an hour and
Speaker 1: then drove down Ventura Boulevard. So I looked on my
Speaker 1: thing on my GPS. I was fussing around with it
Speaker 1: and said, well, we're like five or six miles away
Speaker 1: from where this restaurant Ventura Boulevard in studio city was
Speaker 1: and I don't even remember the name of it. I
Speaker 1: figured out about five six miles take me maybe ten
Speaker 1: minutes to get there. It took about half an hour.
Speaker 1: It took about half an hour, and it was like
Speaker 1: hemorrhoids to try to find parking, right, And so you
Speaker 1: know me with parking, I don't pay for parking. I
Speaker 1: don't I gotta find parking. I'll get to it.
Speaker 5: You'll walk ten blocks to get cheaper parking. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I'm driving around. There's a lot of traffic and
Speaker 1: I'm like, ah, this is you know, I'm supposed to
Speaker 1: be there now I'm suddenly I'm a few minutes late.
Speaker 1: So I text one of the bosses. I'm like, hey,
Speaker 1: I can't the parking lot for this restaurant was full.
Speaker 1: What am I going to do? There's nowhere to park,
Speaker 1: And so he says Bowling Alley, which is across the street.
Speaker 1: There's a bowling Alley which used to be what was
Speaker 1: that restaurant that was there for years? Guy, it was
Speaker 1: a late night diner. I used to go there. Look
Speaker 1: at the name of it. There were a few of
Speaker 1: them in I think they're all closed, but it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: So we went over. I parked right across the street.
Speaker 1: There was a parking lot. I figured if I got
Speaker 1: towed or I got a ticket, the boss was going
Speaker 1: to pay for it because it said only parking for
Speaker 1: the bowling alley. But if the Boss said to park there,
Speaker 1: I parked there, and if I got a ticket or
Speaker 1: got towed, he would.
Speaker 5: Pay for it.
Speaker 4: Let's be honest. They let you expense pretty much everything
Speaker 4: in your life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you're doing overnight radio, the gas is expensed, clothing, headphones,
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. A lot of stuff expense unless
Speaker 1: that's not the case. So I found Peter and I
Speaker 1: parked there. Made the walk past the bowling alley, so
Speaker 1: it made it seem like I might go to the
Speaker 1: bowling alley, kept walking. I could have jay walked Acrossfin
Speaker 1: to the boulevard, but it was rush hour and people
Speaker 1: in La are assholes the way they drive, so as
Speaker 1: I screw that, So I just I walked a couple
Speaker 1: of blocks down to cross legally. So I did that,
Speaker 1: did that, and then it was the Schmooze cruise, A
Speaker 1: schmooz Appaloosa, if you will. Big bosses Don Martin, the
Speaker 1: Big Boss, Scott Shapiro was there, A bunch of the
Speaker 1: hosts Jonas Knox, LeVar Arrington, who, Jason Smith, Harmon was there?
Speaker 1: Your guys Covino and Rich dan Byer made an appearance,
Speaker 1: Good Old dan Byer, Big Mike, some other names. People.
Speaker 4: Oh that's that's who. I meant to say, who for, say,
Speaker 4: Big Mic again, Big Mic?
Speaker 5: Who?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly? Lead a Lap was there, Last Call Lee,
Speaker 1: even Cooper Loop made an appearance. And there were a
Speaker 1: bunch of other people. I have no idea who they were,
Speaker 1: but this was something where I again rare and appropriate.
Speaker 1: I go back to that phrase, Danny rare inappropriate. They
Speaker 1: provided free alcohol. I did not drink that. They provided
Speaker 1: free like regular water obviously water is usually free, and soda,
Speaker 1: and then they also had appetizers. They would go around
Speaker 1: as a happy hour social meet and greet with the
Speaker 1: people from MAPID radios. And you know, Danny, being in radio,
Speaker 1: we get so many free things. You know, you think
Speaker 1: I wouldn't make a big deal about it. I was like,
Speaker 1: this is like my holiday bonus. So I ate. I
Speaker 1: usually don't eat on Wednesdays because I don't want to
Speaker 1: look bloated on the TV show And in my head,
Speaker 1: I'll look bloated if I eat, because we tape on Thursdays,
Speaker 1: and we talked about about the taping yesterday on the
Speaker 1: Friday podcast. But so the whole thing I ate. They
Speaker 1: had unbelievably good food and it was on the company
Speaker 1: Dime Danny. I'm a shocked. I figured there's probably nothing.
Speaker 1: This is some bougie Ventura Boulevard studio City in La restaurant.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean jealous. Now.
Speaker 4: The reason I didn't go was because I was busy
Speaker 4: with Covino and Rich's podcast. But as soon as you
Speaker 4: guys all left and I heard about the food, I
Speaker 4: was like, damn it. I should have just made the
Speaker 4: listeners be late listening to that damn podcast.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. This it shocked me because you know,
Speaker 1: I have the palette of an eight year old. So
Speaker 1: if I liked the food, everyone would like the food.
Speaker 1: So they had little fry cups. This guy would walk around.
Speaker 1: It was like a small fry cup with a little
Speaker 1: ketchup on top. Mac and cheese bites, Mac and cheese balls, amazing,
Speaker 1: little spice on them, little kick, but wonderful. They had
Speaker 1: several different styles of bar pizza. I actually did something
Speaker 1: I don't. I hate mushrooms because my parents made me
Speaker 1: eat mushrooms when I was a kid, mushroom pizza, and
Speaker 1: then I learned mushrooms fungus. I'm like, I'm not eating that.
Speaker 1: But what I did was I took the corner piece.
Speaker 1: They had those little bar pizzas, so I took the
Speaker 1: corner piece because there was only one mushroom. And if
Speaker 1: the guy walked around and had pieces with multiple mushrooms,
Speaker 1: I didn't eat it. But fortunately I got a lot
Speaker 1: of pieces with it. It's just one mushroom. They had
Speaker 1: fish tacos. Stayed away from that. They had some kind
Speaker 1: of califlour. I don't know. I didn't eat that. That's
Speaker 1: a vegetable, so I stayed away from that. The brisket
Speaker 1: taco though outstanding, Daddy, the brisket taco was wonderful. Chef's
Speaker 1: kiss on the brisk I didn eat the tomato, but
Speaker 1: I took that off. But everything else I eate in
Speaker 1: that all right, I want my chicken. So that was
Speaker 1: the That was the event to schmooze, cruise, good time
Speaker 1: had by all and then Danny on top of that,
Speaker 1: I failed to mention this I just came to my head.
Speaker 1: Here the boys from Wrapping radios. They were so into
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and being partners with us that when
Speaker 1: I was getting done with my radio show, which I
Speaker 1: went and did. Right after the show, I went back
Speaker 1: and I had hours to kill, but I sat in
Speaker 1: the back. But they showed up at like three in
Speaker 1: the morning to hang out and see the studio. It's
Speaker 1: like craziest. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was able to meet them Thursday afternoon. They came
Speaker 4: into the Covino and Rich show and hung out. And
Speaker 4: it's cool when you meet sponsors and the people behind
Speaker 4: a company. Then it actually puts a face to all
Speaker 4: these billboards.
Speaker 5: That we read live on the radio every day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's cool. I heard from one of the gentlemen.
Speaker 1: He was telling me the whole story about how the
Speaker 1: company started, and one of the guys behind it's a
Speaker 1: Ham radio guy. And I was like, oh man, my
Speaker 1: dad a Ham radio guy also, And I was giving
Speaker 1: up the stories about my dad who always wild say someday, Ben,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a massive earthquake and then eat Ham Radio.
Speaker 1: Ham Radio is going to save you know all this,
Speaker 1: and it did not happen in his lifetime. But I'm
Speaker 1: sure at some point it will happen.
Speaker 4: So a few weekends ago, you might remember where I
Speaker 4: told the story about trying to sell that e bike
Speaker 4: on offer up.
Speaker 1: Yes, the guy that wanted you to drive fifty miles
Speaker 1: and take three hours in traffic.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the whole Yeah, and that guy disappeared and that
Speaker 4: was okay because he was flaky from the start.
Speaker 5: It's now fast forward to being stood up.
Speaker 4: I had somebody that said they were going to come
Speaker 4: take a test ride on it at eight pm. So
Speaker 4: I stood out in my garage starting at seven point
Speaker 4: thirty waited until eight forty pm, with them messaging me
Speaker 4: saying I'm almost there, We're on our way. They never
Speaker 4: showed up. Ben I straight got ghosted.
Speaker 1: Why would you.
Speaker 4: I don't Yeah, thank you, I was uttering to my
Speaker 4: better half. I said, why in the world would you
Speaker 4: not just message the person and say, you know what,
Speaker 4: we changed our mind, we're not coming on our way.
Speaker 4: Totally wasted my time. This was last weekend. So now
Speaker 4: I'm very Larry. I'm just like, I don't want to
Speaker 4: deal with any of these potential buyers. I might even
Speaker 4: just pull this off of Instead of offer up, I
Speaker 4: was using Marketplace now on Facebook.
Speaker 1: I have not spent too much time on there, so
Speaker 1: tell me. I don't know a lot about it. My
Speaker 1: wife has sold some crap on there, but I don't
Speaker 1: know much about it.
Speaker 4: It seems like there's a lot more eyeballs on it,
Speaker 4: but also a lot more people who completely flake offer up.
Speaker 4: It's more of those drive buys I told you about.
Speaker 4: Is it still available on Marketplace? I got tons of
Speaker 4: questions and every single message from every potential buyer.
Speaker 5: I'm not kidding you.
Speaker 4: I got hundred messages written to me with questions about
Speaker 4: the bike. Everything they needed to know about the bike
Speaker 4: was in the description that I took the time to type.
Speaker 4: But do you think people actually read the descriptions that
Speaker 4: you type on the products? Oh no, of course not,
Speaker 4: big fat no, no, Well, no, I'm lazy. I'm just
Speaker 4: going to look at what the item is and then
Speaker 4: I'm going to ask you to repeat yourself from what
Speaker 4: you already took the time to do on the item.
Speaker 4: So this is what I'm dealing with.
Speaker 5: Bullshit.
Speaker 4: But then I get this message from a dude where
Speaker 4: he seemed really cool and different from the other buyers.
Speaker 4: He told me He's like, hey, I did my research
Speaker 4: on that bike you have up for sale. Just have
Speaker 4: a couple of quick questions, and his questions were Legit.
Speaker 4: Says he's in the city right next to mine, and
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, that's good because maybe he won't flake
Speaker 4: when you know, I need him to come for the appointment.
Speaker 4: So Wednesday midday shows up at the right time.
Speaker 5: This is crazy. This guy actually made his appointment.
Speaker 4: He's telling me all about how he's about to do
Speaker 4: a charity ride for that Sam Rubin guy who just
Speaker 4: recently he passed.
Speaker 1: Away Channel five, the biggest.
Speaker 4: Famous entertainment reporter from southern California. People knew him even nationally.
Speaker 4: Ben this guy who came to potentially buy the bike
Speaker 4: worked for k t L. A. Oh that's cool, and
Speaker 4: starts talking about who we have in common. Hartman O, Yes,
Speaker 4: Chris Myers.
Speaker 1: I kid because I care. And that was just wow,
Speaker 1: because I have a buddy at Channel five in LA
Speaker 1: who is a camera guy. What did the guy do?
Speaker 1: Did he tell you what?
Speaker 5: Like what he did? Kind of? Yeah, he's in charge
Speaker 5: of the union there.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, yeah, And I said, man, we got to
Speaker 4: get you at our network.
Speaker 1: Yeah, care of more man, but carel that's a third
Speaker 1: rail man, that's a third ray.
Speaker 4: This guy represents the talent there. Do you remember back
Speaker 4: in the day when our network kind of union.
Speaker 1: Uh well, I'm I'm not that old.
Speaker 4: I think Fay zapped you with one of those men
Speaker 4: in black flashy things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't think that. I have worked
Speaker 1: at a union shop before, and shocking, they pay a
Speaker 1: lot of money at those union shops. They do. They're very,
Speaker 1: very nice. Yeah, I guess we got some money here.
Speaker 1: Anybody's ever been to La It flows? It aren't in
Speaker 1: l A K. T. La is right in the belly
Speaker 1: of the beast, right, and you get off the one
Speaker 1: on one there in uh in Hollywood on sunset, Right,
Speaker 1: it's on sunset. I think it's on sunset. There's right,
Speaker 1: it's right actually the highway.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, well this is where the conversation gets interesting.
Speaker 4: Chess rides the bike and he comes back and he's like,
Speaker 4: I might have to tighten the brakes, but you know,
Speaker 4: the bike has just been covered in my garage, so
Speaker 4: it was if it was a little stiff, it's because
Speaker 4: it's brand new, hasn't even been broken in. He told me,
Speaker 4: I used to be an avid bike rider, but now
Speaker 4: I need an e bike because I need a little
Speaker 4: help on this ride for when I get tired, I
Speaker 4: want to flip the motor on. So he's telling me
Speaker 4: stories about Sam Rubin and what this bike rides all about.
Speaker 4: And wow, finally two months later, I sell this bike. Wow,
Speaker 4: and seemingly to the right person. Where everything came full
Speaker 4: circle though, is he calls his wife on his cell phone.
Speaker 4: I'm going to have her send the venmo to you
Speaker 4: from our account. And I said, all right, cool, so
Speaker 4: I gave him the info. She said it's going to
Speaker 4: be about ten minutes before she can do it, and
Speaker 4: I'm like, all right, that's fine. He's like, so let
Speaker 4: me stand here and brag about KTLA my work. There
Speaker 4: for ten minutes, I'm listening to his stories about the
Speaker 4: TV station, and then at the very end, so what
Speaker 4: exactly do you do at your network? And I briefly
Speaker 4: tell him, wait, wait a second, you're not the dude
Speaker 4: that does the thing with Ben Mahller, are you?
Speaker 5: Who?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 5: To God, he.
Speaker 4: Starts talking about how he is a fifth hour listener
Speaker 4: really and sanding there waiting from a venmo. And now
Speaker 4: I feel kind of awkward. Do I look like some
Speaker 4: dishoveled hobo trying to sell a bike? But it turns
Speaker 4: out we got to shout him out. Tony listen, listens
Speaker 4: to the Fifth Hour podcast.
Speaker 1: Tony, What's up? Tony?
Speaker 4: Obviously he's in the business. He listened to Jay Moore
Speaker 4: and Ben Mallard. Those are the two names that came
Speaker 4: up when he was talking about the network. Cool and yeah,
Speaker 4: very cool, and he said he listens sometimes to your
Speaker 4: overnight podcast. But he said in his rotation is the
Speaker 4: Fifth Hour. I told him we'd definitely give him a
Speaker 4: shout out. The Venmo came through, he took the bike over.
Speaker 4: He had a nice bike rack on his vehicle because,
Speaker 4: like I said, he's been a bike rider. I actually
Speaker 4: had a smile on my face from making a sale.
Speaker 4: I went inside and I told my girl, I said, wow,
Speaker 4: I think I actually sold something to the right person.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. And to honor Sam Rubin, that's one of
Speaker 1: the few guys, as you know, Danny, in this entertainment business,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that are they give the
Speaker 1: facade of being good people who are absolute schmucks, right,
Speaker 1: And but I haven't heard any anything from anyone. Nothing
Speaker 1: negative at all about about Sam Rubin. Everyone loved the guy.
Speaker 1: He's just like the greatest guy in the world. And
Speaker 1: he was there and I would watch. I used to
Speaker 1: go to the gym after the overnight show and i'd
Speaker 1: stay there. By the time I got done, the KTLA
Speaker 1: Morning News was on, and I would watch that pretty
Speaker 1: regularly because I like the way they bullshitted. I'm sure
Speaker 1: they still do, but I'm not really watching it these days.
Speaker 1: But they did a wonderful job, so that is awesome.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it also reminded me that there's actually people
Speaker 4: listening to this crap we do. Oh no, no, sometimes
Speaker 4: sometimes in the studio or in our home studios, and
Speaker 4: we're not exactly thinking about all of the people listening.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Tony, I want you to know when you
Speaker 1: were listening to Jay Moore and me back in the day,
Speaker 1: I have gone on, I have the TV show and
Speaker 1: Jay owns the Lakers, so I think he's a little
Speaker 1: bit better than me. But yeah, you know what the
Speaker 1: heck turning the page the wreck at Ralph Radio, people
Speaker 1: do the darness things. So I showed up to work
Speaker 1: Sunday night. Now Sunday and night I go in there
Speaker 1: usually Sunday, because I don't know it's after the NFL
Speaker 1: games whatever. So I go into the studio Sunday night,
Speaker 1: and there's always trash piled up. They don't clean the
Speaker 1: place on the weekends, and everyone apparently eats a ten
Speaker 1: course meal in there. There's be like a fat form
Speaker 1: in there. May no one on the weekends is doing
Speaker 1: burpies and push ups and all anyway. So I go
Speaker 1: in there on Sunday night for the overnight show, and
Speaker 1: some neanderthal has destroyed the studio, like we have our
Speaker 1: own wreck at Ralph. Now you know where I sit
Speaker 1: in I sit in the chair closest to the door
Speaker 1: facing the camera. The I've got Eddie on my left,
Speaker 1: I've got the producer's chair and the other room on
Speaker 1: my right. So that's where I sit. So I go
Speaker 1: in there and I put my bag in, and Arnie's
Speaker 1: doing the show from his basement in Vermont, and Plank's
Speaker 1: doing the show from his basement in Oklahoma. So I
Speaker 1: got the only one there. So I go, I put
Speaker 1: my stuff down. I'm like, all right, I plug my
Speaker 1: headphones in and then I'll put my mic condom on
Speaker 1: and I'll be good to go and my little spit
Speaker 1: thing for the mic, And so I go to grab
Speaker 1: the mic. There's no mic. I'm like, wait a minute.
Speaker 1: The mic I use was broken. But it was not
Speaker 1: a glitch. It was not a loose cable, Danny. No,
Speaker 1: the entire mic stand had been taken down and the
Speaker 1: mic was unplugged from the cord. I'm like what, I'm cursed.
Speaker 1: I mean, what is this. I tried like, maybe I'll
Speaker 1: put it back together. I couldn't put it back together.
Speaker 1: Was that broken? And I didn't have the number to
Speaker 1: fix it, Felix, So I had to I was forced
Speaker 1: to sit. I did to do the walk of shame
Speaker 1: across the studio to the number two chair. I'm definitely
Speaker 1: in the closet. Oh wow, dare you? But I am?
Speaker 1: I am a creature of habit. And I was like
Speaker 1: really pissed off. I had to go across the room
Speaker 1: and I was like, I was defeated, but I did
Speaker 1: it so somebody. I don't know what happened. Maybe somebody
Speaker 1: had a really hot take and they just grabbed the
Speaker 1: mic and they slapped it down and they they did
Speaker 1: like a spike of a microphone in the studio to celebrate.
Speaker 1: That's possible, I'm not sure, but either way it was.
Speaker 1: It was wacky. And as far as the the Beatles,
Speaker 1: I know this is very important. It's to the life
Speaker 1: of mal or life of Danny g For the first
Speaker 1: time in twenty twenty four, here we are in September.
Speaker 1: My wife dragged my ass to the movies for the
Speaker 1: first time. It wasn't the Beatles, it was Beatle Juice.
Speaker 1: Standing I saw Beetlejuice.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I heard.
Speaker 4: I heard Kooper Loop talking about that on his entertainment
Speaker 4: report on Your Friday Show.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I did not mention on the show that
Speaker 1: I had seen it, but because we didn't have time.
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is the first movie I've seen since
Speaker 1: my wife dragged me to see the Barbie Movie. But
Speaker 1: fun fact, Danny, fun fact, Okay, this is amazing. That
Speaker 1: is the first time that I have gone to the
Speaker 1: movies and stayed awake for the entire movie. I did
Speaker 1: not fall as normally. What happens at the running gag
Speaker 1: in our house is my wife let's go to the movies,
Speaker 1: and she knows I'm gonna fall asleep. Like in the
Speaker 1: first ten minutes of the movie, because these movies are
Speaker 1: usually so boring. I fell asleep during the Barbie movies,
Speaker 1: so did I ate my popcorn? Then fell asleep. But
Speaker 1: something about Beatle Juice, and it must have been just
Speaker 1: the nostalgia from the original Beetlejuice I think came out
Speaker 1: in the late eighties. So I was like a kid
Speaker 1: and flashing back to that. And I don't know that
Speaker 1: it was like that great a movie, but I enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: I had my popcorn, I had a little I brought
Speaker 1: a little small bag of M and m's. And my
Speaker 1: wife though, when we go to the movies, it is
Speaker 1: a VIP situation at the movies, like she gets she
Speaker 1: only will go to the movies. They have those the
Speaker 1: movie theaters around here that have the reclining chairs, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 5: Oh, of course, yeah, and they bring the stuff to
Speaker 5: your seat.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't need that. You know. When I
Speaker 1: lived in the Lincoln Heights, I lived in Hollywood too.
Speaker 1: There was a theater in Los Phelis that was like
Speaker 1: a dollar movie theater. It was like probably at the time,
Speaker 1: two or three bucks for a movie, and it was
Speaker 1: such a shithole. They had bubble gum all over the seats.
Speaker 1: There was like they'd spilled soda everywhere, and I did
Speaker 1: not mind it at all. It was all sticky, but
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, it's a cheap movie. And
Speaker 1: the whole point is it's dark in there. You can't
Speaker 1: see anything.
Speaker 4: You don't want to be in some gross theater. Though
Speaker 4: that feels like peewee. Herman had been there.
Speaker 1: Well, it wasn't a porn theater, but I was fine
Speaker 1: with it. But yeah, the wife will only go through
Speaker 1: these bougie movie things, and I'm like, oh man. Although
Speaker 1: they didn't seem to care that I brought in some
Speaker 1: contraband some food from outside. It didn't seem to mind that,
Speaker 1: which I was happy about. And I told my wife,
Speaker 1: I said, listen, next time she orders the nachos, So
Speaker 1: I said, what are you doing? The not so it's
Speaker 1: like ten bucks. The cheese cup is like two dollars.
Speaker 1: So the move is you bring a bag of Doritos,
Speaker 1: you buy two cheese cups, Boom, you're done. Four bucks
Speaker 1: and plus the bag of Doritos, which probably twenty bucks itself.
Speaker 1: But she'd have many more nachos. You'd have many more nachos.
Speaker 4: So ah, man, you and Rob Parker are the two
Speaker 4: biggest any savers that I know. You guys both should
Speaker 4: have millions in your savings accounts.
Speaker 1: Unlike Rob, I do not fly Spirit Airlines.
Speaker 5: That's where you draw the line.
Speaker 1: That's that's the point of demarcation. So as far as
Speaker 1: the food situation, uh, real quick with short on top.
Speaker 1: So I had Benny's Burgers. I opened up Benny's Burgers again,
Speaker 1: smash burgers, but change it up a little bit. We
Speaker 1: had bison burgers on the griddle, little Bisenberger action. Now
Speaker 1: why do we have bison burgers? Because we were at
Speaker 1: the store. My wife said, hey, it's cheaper, and she
Speaker 1: heard on some podcast it was healthier. Do you know, Danny,
Speaker 1: if bison meat is healthier than regular ground beef. No,
Speaker 1: that sounds like bullshit to me. I don't know, she said.
Speaker 5: But it has a gamy taste to it.
Speaker 1: This did not. Actually I didn't. I wouldn't need it, Danny,
Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't need it. But it tastes does
Speaker 1: It tastes a little different than ground beef to me.
Speaker 1: But the whole time I'm eating and I'm thinking, I'm
Speaker 1: eating the bills mascot. I'm chowing down on the bill's
Speaker 1: mascot here, my god, I'm devouring the bills. Scott, What
Speaker 1: am I doing?
Speaker 5: But hey?
Speaker 1: That was that? That should We should put the baby
Speaker 1: to bed. We'll have some other stuff. We have the mailbag,
Speaker 1: big mailbag on Sunday tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, week two of the NFL, and I made sure
Speaker 4: last weekend Ben to get the Sunday podcast up very early.
Speaker 4: That way, nobody had an excuse. It could really really
Speaker 4: be the pregame to the pregame.
Speaker 1: Love it, love it. Let's keep that going here, Thank you,
Speaker 1: and we'll keep going Danny. We will chat again tomorrow,
Speaker 1: tomorrow another day.
