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 3: 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 1: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Speaker 1: Maller and Danny g Radio on a college football Saturday,
Speaker 1: rivalry games, well number of rivalry games. It's that time
Speaker 1: of the year, the weekend before thanks Giving, and we
Speaker 1: are back in the Magic audio Box, not the magic
Speaker 1: radio box, the magic audio box, the pod box. Here
Speaker 1: on this twenty third day of November. And it's National
Speaker 1: Cashew Day today, So make sure to eat some cashews today.
Speaker 3: Those those are only good if they're covered in chocolate. Well,
Speaker 3: anything covered in chocolate is pretty good, isn't it. People
Speaker 3: eat all kinds of bugs covered in chocolate.
Speaker 1: I think to eat a cranberry day to day as
Speaker 1: they try to remind people to have cranberries for things, Oh.
Speaker 3: For when you get another uti on the overnight.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's the only time that you ever consume cranberries
Speaker 1: typically is under that scenario. So anyway, we're hanging out
Speaker 1: with you. It's a you know, the deal and all that,
Speaker 1: and we're just kind of kind of chilling. Danny is
Speaker 1: is back, but you're traveling all over you the traveling man,
Speaker 1: Danny g is what you are. You're all over the world.
Speaker 1: You're back, Ben.
Speaker 3: We are up early on this Saturday. I am here
Speaker 3: in Alabama. I got to bed early enough last night.
Speaker 3: Covino and Rich were still partying with the listeners here
Speaker 3: in Auburn. After the live broadcast, I did the happy
Speaker 3: hour and then I got my food to go and
Speaker 3: I went up here to my hotel room and those guys,
Speaker 3: who knows how late they stayed out, but they have
Speaker 3: some pea ones who really like to drink with them. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So are you eating the traditional like grits? Are you
Speaker 1: eating pecan pie? Like what boiled peanuts? I'm trying to
Speaker 1: think of southern like Alabama type foods, like some green tomatoes. Oh,
Speaker 1: you go to go to waffle house when I'm in
Speaker 1: the South. I make sure to go to waffle house
Speaker 1: when I think southern, traditional Southern cooking. It's waffle house.
Speaker 1: And then what's the other restaurant that's.
Speaker 3: I was looking up Culver's. Do they have one in Auburn.
Speaker 1: I don't think they have one in Auburn. There are
Speaker 1: some in Florida, mostly the Midwest. There's one in Arizona.
Speaker 1: I don't think they're in Alabama. What's the other Southern
Speaker 1: like a restaurant's got a gift shop?
Speaker 3: Oh, cracker Barrel, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Cracker Brow. That's when I think of the South when
Speaker 1: I visit my father in law who lives in North Carolina.
Speaker 1: We got to go to a Cracker barrew. Gotta go
Speaker 1: to the Cracker Brow. But now it's everywhere, so it's
Speaker 1: not the same. You gotta go to like local places.
Speaker 1: But yeah, a different speed man in Alabama do things
Speaker 1: a little little slow.
Speaker 3: I Ben, I just looked it up right now, it's
Speaker 3: the Culvers here there is you get some cheese curds man? Yeah,
Speaker 3: East University drive here in Auburn. That means before we
Speaker 3: get on our in our rental car, I should say
Speaker 3: to drive all the way back to Atlanta's airport. I'm
Speaker 3: going to convince Cnar to go through the drive through
Speaker 3: a Culvers.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, you gotta get a call, you get a butterburger,
Speaker 1: and you get the cheese curds, and they also have
Speaker 1: delicious desserts as well. So it's a solid solid It's
Speaker 1: like the in and out of the Midwest, five guys,
Speaker 1: is the in and out of the of the East Coast.
Speaker 1: You got in and out obviously on the West coast,
Speaker 1: but then you got the Culver's in the Midwest, and
Speaker 1: that's the way the way to do it. So on
Speaker 1: this podcast, we've got phoned in Abra cadabra, desserts, taco go,
Speaker 1: we got all kinds of stuff, but I wanted to
Speaker 1: start with it. So this is the Sadday Pod. Now.
Speaker 1: The first thing I must do, Danny, is shamelessly beg
Speaker 1: you the listener to watch Benny Versus the Penny, the
Speaker 1: TV show I talked about a little bit yesterday on
Speaker 1: the Friday Pod. But it's all day to day. It's
Speaker 1: on Peacock, it's on television throughout the day. One thing
Speaker 1: I have noticed in the last month or so is
Speaker 1: how many people get up early on Saturdays. Because I've
Speaker 1: had so many people that have said in la that
Speaker 1: have seen the TV show. It airs at like eight
Speaker 1: in the morning on the Lakers cable channel here in La.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I saw you last weekend in Key Key
Speaker 3: on the Laker channel.
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's nuts. And I've had like multiple people say, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was out at breakfast and they had the thing
Speaker 1: on GUS because the Lakers usually plan on Fridays. Maybe
Speaker 1: that's just because they have the channel on when they
Speaker 1: turn the TV off. It's I don't know, but I've
Speaker 1: had more people say they watch it at eight in
Speaker 1: the morning than eight o'clock at night, which is which
Speaker 1: is kind of crazy. But yeah, so they have the
Speaker 1: Laker channel in Hawaii. Of course that would make sense, right,
Speaker 1: There's a lot of Laker historians there in Hawaii, so
Speaker 1: they would have the channel. Oh no, hell, Bill Miller TV.
Speaker 1: When you were in Hawaii, right, I mean what you
Speaker 1: watch TV? You said you can't watch.
Speaker 3: The only time I turned the TV on was to
Speaker 3: see if I could what's the word something cast where
Speaker 3: you could take your iPad and cast it onto the
Speaker 3: TV screen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: I was trying to put the Tyson fight on the
Speaker 3: TV in the hotel room, and they didn't have that function.
Speaker 3: My wife and I just put my iPad on the
Speaker 3: bed and watched the Tyson fight that way.
Speaker 1: Well, it's funny you bring that up, because this actually
Speaker 1: is a story that I would like to share. Not
Speaker 1: not about the TV show Betty versus the Penny on
Speaker 1: Peacock and all that, but Friday, last Friday, I did
Speaker 1: the old Switcher room. I was planning a nice quiet
Speaker 1: night at the mallor mansion fight night. Now, this is
Speaker 1: something that I used to do back in the day.
Speaker 1: We all used to do this, like big fights, have
Speaker 1: a party that's pretty much died for the most part.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know there's every once in a while.
Speaker 1: I was a big UFC fight. I'm not really a
Speaker 1: UFC guy. Every once in a while check it out.
Speaker 3: Whatever.
Speaker 1: So Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul from Jerry's World there
Speaker 1: in the Dallas there in Arlington, and I'd planned this,
Speaker 1: and then I realized that I had double booked, so
Speaker 1: I double boy. So I had a buddy of mine
Speaker 1: from Dallas who was in town. Ironically enough, the Tyson
Speaker 1: fight taking place in the Dallas area, and this is
Speaker 1: my longest tenured friend. We go back to the playgrounds
Speaker 1: of elementary school. I pretty much lost contact with everyone
Speaker 1: else who I knew at that period of my life.
Speaker 1: Some of these people are like Facebook friends, but they're
Speaker 1: not real friends. This is a real friend. He works
Speaker 1: with the irs, so he's not perfect in Dallas, and
Speaker 1: he's lacking the sports gene. He lacks the sports Jean
Speaker 1: Danny and oh boy. Yeah. So he had no interest
Speaker 1: in the fight, no interest. He didn't want to know,
Speaker 1: he didn't know about it, wanted nothing to do with
Speaker 1: it and all that. So so this is like the
Speaker 1: one day a year I hang out with this guy.
Speaker 1: So I was like, you know what, I gotta be
Speaker 1: a grown up, you know, and Mike Tyson's not going
Speaker 1: to miss me if I'm sitting on my ass on
Speaker 1: myself for watching. So I planned the whole day. We
Speaker 1: went out for burgers for launch, had some cheeseburgers for
Speaker 1: lunch and fries, and then I made the editorial decision
Speaker 1: that we would go out because he wanted to go
Speaker 1: you know, go around La whatever. So I phoned it in.
Speaker 1: I was able to phone it in. I was able
Speaker 1: to watch the Tyson Jake Paul fight on my small iPhone,
Speaker 1: and I had no issue. Did you have any issues streaming?
Speaker 1: I had no issues streaming.
Speaker 3: It's funny you bring this up because Rich Davis said
Speaker 3: that in his little group of friends, and they were
Speaker 3: all trying to watch on their big TV. The only
Speaker 3: way they were able to keep track of what was
Speaker 3: going on when the TV was buffering is Riches feed
Speaker 3: on his phone never got interrupted. So, for whatever reason,
Speaker 3: if you were on Netflix on your phone, you had
Speaker 3: less to zero problems.
Speaker 1: Now there was a conspiracy. Coop brought this up that
Speaker 1: there's different tiers of Netflix, so if you have the
Speaker 1: higher tier, you were all right. If you were ah,
Speaker 1: they basically pooped on the people that didn't pay the
Speaker 1: proper amount for the Netflix. I don't even know how
Speaker 1: much we probably play like premium at our house. I
Speaker 1: don't know how much we pay it. I don't really
Speaker 1: want to know because that would drive me nuts. So anyway,
Speaker 1: so I'm watching on my phone. I had, like I said,
Speaker 1: no issues. I'm glad I made the right call. Man?
Speaker 3: Was that boring?
Speaker 1: Tyson landed eighteen punches in eight rounds eighteen. There were
Speaker 1: two minute rounds, but eighteen punches, and most of those
Speaker 1: seemed like they were early in the fight and.
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, it felt like the first two rounds
Speaker 3: were really all of his punches.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like, all I put my work in,
Speaker 1: I'm out see you later. And so it was great
Speaker 1: for me as an introvert because I was out. We
Speaker 1: went into la from the north Woods there and that
Speaker 1: was actually the the Abra cadabra part of the story.
Speaker 1: So the wife decided, you know, we need to take
Speaker 1: your buddy out to a magic show. And really I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that that my buddy needed to see
Speaker 1: a magic show.
Speaker 3: And yeah, experiment rhino like a girl makes the poll disappear.
Speaker 1: Well, that would be a very entertaining. But no. We
Speaker 1: went to the Black Rabbit Rose Magic Show in La
Speaker 1: in in Hollywood.
Speaker 3: It's like a it almost sounds like a strip club.
Speaker 1: It does, it does. It's this old speakeasy style bar theater.
Speaker 1: It's in Hollywood, and you know, very hip. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm a hip guy, Danny, you know I don't look
Speaker 1: like a guy. Well, anyway, I was there hanging out
Speaker 1: and we went to see the nine o'clock show. So
Speaker 1: I was watching the fight on my my fhont it ended,
Speaker 1: uh actually before that, but I was watching. We were
Speaker 1: at a at a restaurant there and the Black Magic
Speaker 1: Rows Racist. It's a very small speak as I said,
Speaker 1: speak easy there and you know, expensive cocktails and whatnot.
Speaker 1: And it was it's pretty good. I actually been there
Speaker 1: years ago. I had not been in a while. It's
Speaker 1: very intimate setting. Immersive is a word I would use
Speaker 1: for that, and it was. It was pretty cool. My
Speaker 1: buddy was he was happy. He didn't like sports, so
Speaker 1: he was happy watching that. And we watched watch the
Speaker 1: Magic Act and all that, and it was amazing and
Speaker 1: great and all that. Now, before we went to the
Speaker 1: Magic I didnt want to mention this before I forget.
Speaker 1: So this is one of those things that bum me out.
Speaker 1: When I used to live in in La, I lived
Speaker 1: in Park Librea for a while and then I lived
Speaker 1: I lived a couple of different places in the Hollywood.
Speaker 1: But but I live in Parklebury, which is if you're
Speaker 1: familiar with La, mid city, mid Wiltshire district of La,
Speaker 1: massive compound of apartments as far as you can see. Dany,
Speaker 1: have you been to Park Lebrea as far as you
Speaker 1: can see apartment buildings? Yeah, yeah, it's just it's just wild.
Speaker 1: So anyway, I lived and right down the street on
Speaker 1: Beverly up Houser and on Beverly was El Coyote. Now,
Speaker 1: El Coyote was my go to Mexican restaurant in the
Speaker 1: in the nineties and early two thousands when I kind
Speaker 1: of lived in that area. So I went back. As
Speaker 1: I said, we went to the magic show. And my
Speaker 1: my buddy, he loves this El Coyote as well. I
Speaker 1: used to go there with him when when I lived
Speaker 1: there in the area. So we we went there to
Speaker 1: have some some great Mexican for this is like an
Speaker 1: old holl he would place. According to Tom Looney, Wyatt
Speaker 1: Irp eight at L Coyote, the great Wyatt Irp.
Speaker 3: Well, Looney shouldn't know he was around back then.
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly.
Speaker 3: So he told me.
Speaker 1: Actually, I brought this up when we were doing the
Speaker 1: TV show this week, so oh yeah, whyet up? You
Speaker 1: steep there? And I thought he was full of shit,
Speaker 1: and I looked it up. And Wyatt Earp lived till
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty nine. So the math does work out. L
Speaker 1: Coyote has been around for a long time, so it
Speaker 1: is possible. It sounds like bull crap to me, though,
Speaker 1: you know it's one of those things. It sounds like
Speaker 1: it just sounds ridiculous, and I don't think it's I
Speaker 1: guess I think Olk opened right around that time, but
Speaker 1: I don't know who cares. So I go in there,
Speaker 1: and the only reason I'm bringing up this story is
Speaker 1: I order. I like crunchy tacos. They have good crunchy
Speaker 1: tacos at L Coyote. So I'm in there, I'm ordering
Speaker 1: my tacos. I'm doing my thing. And I don't think
Speaker 1: I sent this to you because you were in Hawaii.
Speaker 1: You want to take a guess how much one crunchy
Speaker 1: taco costs at El Coyote, Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: One one taco, one time. This is a this is cheese, lettuce, uh,
Speaker 1: some kind of meat, and a tortilla.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say it's six dollars and fifty cents.
Speaker 1: Six dollars and fifty cents. Let's see here, how about No,
Speaker 1: how about seven dollars and thirty eight cents. Wow, seven
Speaker 1: dollars and thirty eight cents for one taco. So for
Speaker 1: three tacos, we are over twenty two dollars for three tacos.
Speaker 1: For three taco Now, back in my day, Danny, I
Speaker 1: used to go in there and the taco was you
Speaker 1: know what was the title? It was like two bucks
Speaker 1: two fifty. I cadntplained about it, seven thirty eight thirty
Speaker 1: eight for does that seem a little excessive?
Speaker 3: Or am I?
Speaker 1: Am I out of my mind? Am I out of
Speaker 1: my mind?
Speaker 3: No? I mean, you know, we don't want to do
Speaker 3: what they call quote unquote old guy radio. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: we we even hear the youngsters bitching about food prices
Speaker 3: right now. Our teenage daughter, she came home the other
Speaker 3: day because she went to McDonald's with her friend from
Speaker 3: high school. There were eighth graders I guess the year
Speaker 3: before high school, and she said, can you guys believe it?
Speaker 3: It was twenty dollars for my food at McDonald's. So
Speaker 3: the kids are even bitching about this. You're allowed.
Speaker 1: No, it's it's ridiculous. And I so I order the tacos.
Speaker 1: I figured I was like, already there and you know,
Speaker 1: it's fine whatever, and so we got that, but they
Speaker 1: did not give me two free desserts though, Danny, when
Speaker 1: I was there, and I really would have liked for
Speaker 1: seven dollars and thirty eight cent frenchy tacos. I would
Speaker 1: like to have a nicer which this other place which
Speaker 1: is kind of closer to where I am, this other
Speaker 1: Mexican restaurant which is kind of in the hood. Tacos
Speaker 1: I think, you know, three dollars each, which is still expensive,
Speaker 1: but I could get two for one, two and a
Speaker 1: half for one basically compared to al Cody. But no dessert.
Speaker 1: I did not have dessert. I figured I spent enough money.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's the phrase you always say, rare and appropriate?
Speaker 1: Yes, rare and appropriate, rare and appropriate, That is Correctice.
Speaker 3: We've gone to Hawaii a couple of times, my wife
Speaker 3: and I since we've been married, and that's where we
Speaker 3: got married. Whenever we think about a little vacation, even
Speaker 3: if it's a quick turnaround, it's lax or long beach
Speaker 3: out to the islands. Yeah, it's a what four and
Speaker 3: a half five hour flight for a straight shot. It's
Speaker 3: not bad if you can get on Hawaiian airlines, which
Speaker 3: we did. Prices for the airlines been not that bad.
Speaker 3: The price is for staying anywhere on the island or
Speaker 3: trying to get a rental car bad news to get
Speaker 3: around that we just took an uber or a taxi
Speaker 3: cab rather the old school uber to the hotel well,
Speaker 3: and we stayed at the hotel the whole weekend hive
Speaker 3: my suits. What was nice is the hotel had a
Speaker 3: little shuttle which they had an app attached to it
Speaker 3: so you could use it like an uber as long
Speaker 3: as it was like within five miles of the hotel.
Speaker 3: So the one time we went out to eat a
Speaker 3: decent meal during the weekend, which cost over one hundred dollars,
Speaker 3: there easy we got a ride from the hotel, so
Speaker 3: it was nice. We found ways to save a little
Speaker 3: bit of money and still be on a small vacation.
Speaker 3: It was just three days and then boom back to California.
Speaker 1: What island did you go to?
Speaker 3: We went to Waikiki, ok So Honolulu main.
Speaker 1: This is the big one side, the big city, and
Speaker 1: then the other side.
Speaker 3: Is Paradise exactly. You try to stay away from as
Speaker 3: many of the tourists as you can, go on the
Speaker 3: sand early in the morning before they all get out
Speaker 3: there to PLoP their big fat whale butts down on
Speaker 3: the beach. So we knew that we needed to have
Speaker 3: a game plan to really take advantage for this turnaround.
Speaker 3: One of the nights, we decided, Hey, you know what,
Speaker 3: let's walk to the shops nearby. Pushed Koa in the stroller.
Speaker 3: He wasn't a fan. He wanted to hell out of
Speaker 3: the stroller. He's got little velcrow sneakers on. You know
Speaker 3: what that means. He wants to put those sneakers down
Speaker 3: on the concrete and.
Speaker 1: He wants boots on the ground.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you dare put these uncomfortable sneakers on a
Speaker 3: little kid that just learned how to run, best believe
Speaker 3: they want to run if they have to wear the shoes.
Speaker 3: So he's got these shoes on. He's pulling at him
Speaker 3: while he's sitting in the stroller, and he's giving us
Speaker 3: a dirty look, like, how dare you strap me into
Speaker 3: this thing? And you got these velcro contraptions on my
Speaker 3: feet at the same time, get to these shops. There's
Speaker 3: a Tommy Bahama's restaurant there in the shops. It's kind
Speaker 3: of expensive, but why don't we just like split their
Speaker 3: chicken plate and I'll get a Caesar salad or something
Speaker 3: like that. I'm sure they'll throw some bread in. Boom.
Speaker 3: Bring it back to the hotel. That's our dinner. It's busy,
Speaker 3: but you know, not overwhelming, because it's like an early
Speaker 3: evening time. Now it's like six pm. But I got
Speaker 3: to go to the bar they say for the takeout food.
Speaker 3: Chick from the bar comes over with her pad like
Speaker 3: she's going to take the order, and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 3: so I get you. And she didn't seem like she's
Speaker 3: all with it, Ben. She seems very preoccupied. I saw
Speaker 3: her on her phone at one point standing behind the bar.
Speaker 3: She wasn't really into her shift. If you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying, I think you and I have both worked
Speaker 3: with people like that before.
Speaker 1: Many times, many times going through the motions, treaty like
Speaker 1: you're working at the DMV I that kind of thing. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So her coworker, he seemed like he was on
Speaker 3: top of things. She seemed halfheartedly there. I'm like, all right, whatever,
Speaker 3: as long as I get my food and I don't
Speaker 3: have to sit here and wait too long. And I
Speaker 3: tell her, I say, hey, as long as the wait's
Speaker 3: not too long because I have a little kid. I
Speaker 3: have a one year old out there raising hell. And
Speaker 3: she kind of laughed. She's like, oh it shouldn't be
Speaker 3: too bad, and I'm like, all right, So I gave
Speaker 3: her the order, and I'm sitting there, man, I'm sitting there,
Speaker 3: sitting there, and I'm feeling bad because I know what's
Speaker 3: happening outside in the shopping center. I know co is
Speaker 3: running up and down the ramps trying to get on
Speaker 3: the escalator, screaming. I could hear him outside the restaurant
Speaker 3: by the way, so I got up. I kept excusing
Speaker 3: myself to go out there and check on him. And
Speaker 3: I saw Brenda literally pulling strands of here out of
Speaker 3: the top of her head. She was not having fun
Speaker 3: out there. This kid was on he was on one.
Speaker 3: He was running and screaming. I think this is not
Speaker 3: politically correct now, but we used to say, like a
Speaker 3: banshee Indian.
Speaker 1: Racist, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, scream. I didn't get the
Speaker 1: mouth that.
Speaker 3: I know. I don't think you're supposed to say that anymore.
Speaker 3: But that's that's what my grandma would have said. If
Speaker 3: she saw him, she would have said, can you please
Speaker 3: control your child? He wanted to run, He didn't care
Speaker 3: who was in the way. He was trying to get
Speaker 3: on the escalator, and there's no way to stop a
Speaker 3: kid who just learned how to run. Get back in there, Benny.
Speaker 3: It's taken forever. I mean, this lady's not paying attention
Speaker 3: to anything. Finally, I tell her, look, I gotta get
Speaker 3: out of here. So she sends one of the bus
Speaker 3: boys back to the kitchen to check on the order.
Speaker 3: He comes back with two bags and I'm like, cool.
Speaker 3: She gives them to me and she's like, oh, sorry
Speaker 3: about the weight. I'm walking out the restaurant and Brenda
Speaker 3: just has this this look on her face like she's
Speaker 3: gonna kill me. Hey, look, I got her food. Let's go.
Speaker 3: She grabs one of the bags out of my hand.
Speaker 3: So I'm holding one bag. I take CoA in the
Speaker 3: other arm, and I'm holding them now, trying to at least,
Speaker 3: and she's looking at the receipt that they stapled onto
Speaker 3: her bag, and she's like, this is not our order.
Speaker 1: Shit.
Speaker 3: And I look at it, Ben, it's a list of
Speaker 3: like sliders and scallops and you know, stuff that we
Speaker 3: did not order. And I'm thinking, oh, you gotta be
Speaker 3: kidding me. She's frazzled. So she tells me, I don't
Speaker 3: give a f what's in the bags. We're walking back
Speaker 3: to the hotel.
Speaker 1: Now, was this a question is this a better order?
Speaker 1: Is this a more hearty order than your order, or
Speaker 1: is this a lesser order? Or into the decision whether
Speaker 1: to go back. If it's a lesser order, you got
Speaker 1: to go back. If it's a better order, you might
Speaker 1: keep it.
Speaker 3: You're good, Ben, You guys are maybe cut from the
Speaker 3: same cloth. Because as I get CoA back into the stroller,
Speaker 3: which was not easy, and we're pushing him back to
Speaker 3: the hotel, I showed him some of the food in
Speaker 3: the bag, specifically the mashed potatoes, which I didn't order
Speaker 3: mashed potatoes, but there were mashed potatoes in one of
Speaker 3: the bags. Something you should know about one year old CoA.
Speaker 3: He loves mashed potatoes, especially the expensive ones.
Speaker 1: Oh, he's got good taste, good palate.
Speaker 3: Brenda starts doing the mallor math in her head. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because the receipt doesn't show oh a total, just shows
Speaker 3: the items. Yeah, I think that we might have came up.
Speaker 3: I think we might have got some extras here.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, we get to the room, we're getting ready to
Speaker 3: turn the tyson fight on, and we lay the spread
Speaker 3: out on the hotel room table. There were scallop sliders.
Speaker 3: There were cheeseburger sliders. There were high end mashed potatoes
Speaker 3: a la carte nice, and we hit the mother load.
Speaker 3: There was a box of fries, which were delicious. And
Speaker 3: there was also a box of dessert, like some molten
Speaker 3: lava cake. Oh solid, Now rare and appropriate because I
Speaker 3: stay away from sugar as much as possible.
Speaker 1: When in Hawaii. Doesn't count.
Speaker 3: Right, exactly, we were, you know, eating the salt in
Speaker 3: thet We're dipping everything into the mashed potatoes. CoA dipped
Speaker 3: his whole fist in there. We're dipping sliders into the
Speaker 3: mashed potatoes, and then we're taking little bites of the
Speaker 3: dessert as we're watching Tyson this fight allegedly. Yeah, and Ben,
Speaker 3: the food was delicious. You know, my wife is kind
Speaker 3: of gangster from time to time. She looked at me
Speaker 3: and she said, you know, they still messed up. They
Speaker 3: still owe us our food that you paid for. Oh boy.
Speaker 3: She gets on the phone, calls the manager, and the
Speaker 3: manager tells her, oh, we've been expecting you. You're the

Speaker 3: and that's why we had to get back to the hotel.
Speaker 3: She's like, well, we have your order here. Can you
Speaker 3: walk here and get it? It's cold though. No, I
Speaker 3: can't walk back to your restaurant. But you know we
