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 fastion 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 Mallard starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere, The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallord
Speaker 1: and Danny G Radio. As we kick off the weekend.
Speaker 1: You're in late September, the twenty second day of September,
Speaker 1: So this is the second to last weekend, Am I
Speaker 1: right on that? I don't have a calendar. I think
Speaker 1: that is correct, right, So we have one more weekend
Speaker 1: after this and then that's it. We move on to October,
Speaker 1: so it'll be here before you know. Danny G is
Speaker 1: hanging out. Hello, Danny G.
Speaker 3: I'm glad you know how to use a calendar, but yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, one way to know exactly where we're at bend.
Speaker 3: We celebrated the twenty first day of September yesterday, which
Speaker 3: is a famous line and a famous song from Earth
Speaker 3: wind and fire. It was earth wind and fire day yesterday.
Speaker 1: And how did you celebrate earth wind and fire day?
Speaker 3: Did you? Did you?
Speaker 1: You walked the earth and there was wind, and you
Speaker 1: started a fire? Did you do all three of those things?
Speaker 3: I put on my dad's old dashiki and I smoked
Speaker 3: a big fatty hey. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And those see, those tunes did not get played that
Speaker 1: much back in the day, right, They didn't get burned
Speaker 1: up by radio stations back in the.
Speaker 3: No, not at all. And then the oldies quote unquote
Speaker 3: oldies radio stations that we grew up with.
Speaker 1: Oh I know, I don't well now, like what is
Speaker 1: the oldies music of like today? Old these radio stations?
Speaker 1: What is the oldiest Is it always like thirty years behind,
Speaker 1: so it would be the nineties or is it further
Speaker 1: back than that?
Speaker 3: It's the nineties now? In fact, it's kind of scary
Speaker 3: because you turn on k Earth one on one and
Speaker 3: you hear songs that you know, maybe a young Benny
Speaker 3: on the radio played when you first started your radio career,
Speaker 3: and some of those songs are making their way onto
Speaker 3: the playlist now for quote unquote oldies.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. And in a few years, like in
Speaker 1: another eight years, the nineties will go off the radio,
Speaker 1: and then the oldies formatt will play the two thousands.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the old joke too. There's a meme that
Speaker 3: says that, you know, how weird is it that radio
Speaker 3: stations will still say playing hits from the seventies, eighties,
Speaker 3: nineties and today, Well today, that's a huge gap.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: They act like that's only a ten year period.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's It's nuts, man, just absolutely nuts. Anyway, on
Speaker 1: this the Friday podcast, we.
Speaker 3: Have feeling really old.
Speaker 1: No, I know, thank God, I mean and everyone. I'll
Speaker 1: get email from people I listened to you when I
Speaker 1: was in high school and now I'm married with you know, kids,
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god. Anyway, we have
Speaker 1: the round table, fable, nail date, fungus fun. You can
Speaker 1: only get fungus fun here on the old Dusty Trail.
Speaker 1: That is the fifth hour podcast. It with me and
Speaker 1: Danny g and we have the Word of the Week
Speaker 1: and Scientifical, So a lot to get to.
Speaker 3: We'll start with this, good Lord, are you going to
Speaker 3: talk about your feet again?
Speaker 1: Well, Danny, you never know what's going to pop up
Speaker 1: here on the podcast. It's an ocean and we navigate
Speaker 1: the different So but we're gonna start with the round
Speaker 1: table fable. So this week's episode of Benny Versus the Penny,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna start running today in some cities, it'll
Speaker 1: be on this afternoon, depending on what you're listening to.
Speaker 1: Obviously this is the morning when we do this, but
Speaker 1: in the afternoon evening time. The big prime debut is
Speaker 1: in the Boston market at seven thirty. That has been
Speaker 1: the time the last couple of weeks we've been aired
Speaker 1: on NBC Sports Boston. So Benny Versus the Penny, Week three,
Speaker 1: And to kind of give you a little background on this,
Speaker 1: if you have not been following along here, we're going
Speaker 1: to keep it real. We are going to keep it
Speaker 1: real here on the fifth hour. So we tape the
Speaker 1: show on Thursday in Universal Studios, so the team is
Speaker 1: in Boston, and then we tape are in myself in
Speaker 1: Looney Tunes at Universal Studios. And so this is only
Speaker 1: the third week, but we already have set up a
Speaker 1: pretty good assembly line. Very Regi and I am a
Speaker 1: creature of habit. Most people are creatures of habit, so
Speaker 1: we have it relatively surgical at this point. And so
Speaker 1: my schedule with Benny versus the Penny. I typically start
Speaker 1: handicapping the games Tuesday, and I spend a good chunk
Speaker 1: of time on Tuesday, and then Wednesday I also get
Speaker 1: into it, and on Wednesday I work with the team
Speaker 1: that produces the show. Obviously I got to pitch ideas
Speaker 1: and it's a communal effort. I send my picks in
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, and then they work on the show while
Speaker 1: I'm sleeping. So on Thursday, it's the day we record,
Speaker 1: and so it's cleaned up, edited Thursday night and then
Speaker 1: distributed to the different stations that get it, and so
Speaker 1: it starts being broadcast on Friday, which is like today.
Speaker 1: And the first week though, when we did the first show,
Speaker 1: it took forever. I mean it was we had big
Speaker 1: executives from the network that flew out from the East Coast.
Speaker 3: They were there.
Speaker 1: People who I had no idea who they were. I
Speaker 1: don't think I ever talked to him were there. And
Speaker 1: so there's like a lot of people in the room
Speaker 1: and it was a big to do, and so it
Speaker 1: took almost five hours by the time we got the
Speaker 1: thing done. There were a lot of snaffoos and it
Speaker 1: wasn't just like your normal Hey, you know I aft
Speaker 1: up or looney affed up.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of moving parts to it. Now, keep
Speaker 1: in mind the show is only thirty minutes. But I
Speaker 1: am happy to update the story here that in week
Speaker 1: three of the NFL season, we went out there, no
Speaker 1: more mental gymnastics. We killed it. And now I show up.
Speaker 1: I show up early because, as you know, Danny, I
Speaker 1: I am a loser when it comes to this. I
Speaker 1: always want to be prepared and all that stuff. So
Speaker 1: I show up pretty early to do the thing, and
Speaker 1: so way before I'm supposed to be there. We have
Speaker 1: a call time, but I get there way before.
Speaker 3: So yeah, you have a lot of nervous energy.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, I should probably use mushrooms or something.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Anyway, So about forty five minutes before
Speaker 1: the show kicks off, I am sitting in like this
Speaker 1: meeting room across from the studio. There's like a little hallway.
Speaker 1: There's our studio, which is not very big at Universal,
Speaker 1: and then across the hall there's this meeting room. There's
Speaker 1: nobody there when we're there, I mean other than the
Speaker 1: crew that's working on the show. And there's like, like
Speaker 1: you know, really a ghost kind of crowd there, and
Speaker 1: so it's got this roundtable in it. And so what
Speaker 1: we've done now is Looney who shows up after me.
Speaker 1: By the way, I want to point out, Looney shows
Speaker 1: up way after I get way after I get it.
Speaker 1: So Looney shows up and then we do a Seinfeld
Speaker 1: style table read, but we're not actually reading, which merely
Speaker 1: means that we go over all of the logistics of
Speaker 1: the show, and it's become the round table like a
Speaker 1: pre show.
Speaker 3: It's like a pre show meeting that you should have
Speaker 3: for your radio program.
Speaker 1: Well, if people showed up before the show started, we
Speaker 1: might actually do that, but but no, in the TV world,
Speaker 1: you can actually kind of go it. So it's you know,
Speaker 1: I used to joke around Dan, I said, well, we're
Speaker 1: having a production meeting, but now we actually have production meetings.
Speaker 1: So that's what you do in TV. So we had
Speaker 1: a production meeting and then we kind of go over
Speaker 1: the show. We go over all the moving parts. So
Speaker 1: there's three segments in the show. There's the A block,
Speaker 1: the B block, and the C block. The C block
Speaker 1: really short, really short. The B block is the long one,
Speaker 1: but you can't f up the A block or then
Speaker 1: you can't get to the B block. So there's a
Speaker 1: lot of juggling involved. There's graphics. Looney's got his teleprompter.
Speaker 1: He's like Obama, He's got his prompter, and I've got
Speaker 1: you know, I've got my notes and stuff in front
Speaker 1: of me. And so this week after in week one
Speaker 1: it took about five hours, I believe week two it
Speaker 1: took around three. This week forty minutes forty minutes. And
Speaker 1: that includes, by the way, it took forty minutes us
Speaker 1: to the show. We did one take that's it. On
Speaker 1: each segment we nailed it, and so they were happy
Speaker 1: with it because they got to leave early. Everyone was happy,
Speaker 1: and that included, by the way, there's a little bit
Speaker 1: of a gap between each segment, like when we're recording
Speaker 1: it because they have to set other stuff up. But
Speaker 1: here's the case where you're damned if you do you're
Speaker 1: damned if you don't. The old double edge sword Danny.
Speaker 1: So I found myself stuck between the Devil and the
Speaker 1: deep Blue sy. I got done early. So the bosses
Speaker 1: at NBC were happy, the people I work with were happy,
Speaker 1: so that they were very and I was like feeling
Speaker 1: pretty good because I was like, I don't know, expect
Speaker 1: you know. This is all still new to me, this
Speaker 1: whole TV thing. So I was happy. And then I realized,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I now have to get into malamobile
Speaker 1: and drive home, and it is the middle of rush
Speaker 1: hour and I don't normally do rush hour. Danny, you
Speaker 1: have to do rush hour now, right because of a
Speaker 1: Covino and Rich in your.
Speaker 3: Schedule every fricking evening. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I normally don't do rush hour. I just avoided.
Speaker 1: I did the overnight show, so I'm like, oh crap,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I haven't told the producer. I told Vinnie.
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, listen, why don't we do another show?
Speaker 1: I got, I got time to kill. But as I asked,
Speaker 1: screw it, I'll just I'll just put some music on
Speaker 1: in the car or whatever, and I'll I'll deal with it.
Speaker 1: And I did, and almost two hours later I was
Speaker 1: able to return to the Malor mansion and needed a
Speaker 1: nice piece of hard liquor there. Actually I needed to
Speaker 1: go to sleep, is what I needed to do.
Speaker 3: But it was.
Speaker 1: It was an interesting, interesting sojourn.
Speaker 3: And now you know why Kobe had a Kobe copter.
Speaker 1: Exactly. Yeah, that's a paid but anyway, so that was
Speaker 1: the week. And wait till you see tonight's show. Wait
Speaker 1: till you see what Looney's wearing. Looney really taking that
Speaker 1: budget from the wardrobe department to the next level with
Speaker 1: his outfit on today's show.
Speaker 3: Really quick, Ben, I got to say that you seemed
Speaker 3: a lot more comfortable in episode two.
Speaker 1: Oh thank you. Yeah, yeah, no, it's it's getting easier.
Speaker 1: You know. It's like it's like kind of like radio
Speaker 1: right when we started in radio. How difficult, how awkward
Speaker 1: it was when we started, you know, and all that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, after I saw episode one, I was like, oh boy,
Speaker 3: this is going to get canceled in week four. But
Speaker 3: then I saw episode two and I was like, oh okay, hey,
Speaker 3: I'll watch this every week.
Speaker 1: Still might get canceled. You never know who knows a
Speaker 1: Looney is on the show.
Speaker 4: So he could say something that, yeah, very true, is
Speaker 4: we're boating and then we're done on a pontoon boat
Speaker 4: to hell.
Speaker 1: The next tale from the Naked City. So you want
Speaker 1: to get behind the scenes on our lives, you know, Saturday,
Speaker 1: this is the Friday podcast, but on Saturday we usually
Speaker 1: a life of mal or Life of Danny g And
Speaker 1: since we're kind of Lucy Goosey on the Friday podcast,
Speaker 1: I present a fifth hour Global exclusive, a global exclusive
Speaker 1: and I'm not driving.
Speaker 3: Better. Have Marcel tweet this out?
Speaker 1: Yes, Yeah, what a fascinating life. And I'm tossing this
Speaker 1: out there as a PSA because I wonder if other
Speaker 1: people have similar issues. So this week I had you
Speaker 1: could call it a rerun, do over, whatever you want
Speaker 1: to go. So it popped up in my life. So
Speaker 1: I'm in the studio here and messing around whatever, getting
Speaker 1: ready for the show, and I kind of moving around
Speaker 1: my feet a little bit, a little nervous energy, and
Speaker 1: I felt something kind of like sharp right, that doesn't
Speaker 1: feel right? What the hell is that? I was like,
Speaker 1: did I drop something? I don't remember dropping anything. What
Speaker 1: wasn't there a few minutes ago? I was like, what
Speaker 1: the hell is this? And so I turned the light
Speaker 1: on and went down there and it was like that
Speaker 1: Britney Spears classic back in the day. Oops, I did
Speaker 1: it again. Nailed it for the at least the fourth
Speaker 1: time in my life. One of my toenails bit, the
Speaker 1: dust came flying off ah as shrapnel. My Danny, my
Speaker 1: left foot, my big toe, my toenail on the on
Speaker 1: left foot completely gone. And this is a nail fail
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. But I'm actually excited about this, which
Speaker 1: is rather odd because a while back I've told the
Speaker 1: story before I had this happen. Was it last year
Speaker 1: or two years ago? I don't know.
Speaker 3: I remember you dropped some spaghetti sauce on one of them.
Speaker 1: Uh well I had. I call it a treadmill injury
Speaker 1: because I had some some tried blood that turned my
Speaker 1: toenail black.
Speaker 3: Oh that's right. Yeah, I been doing this with you
Speaker 3: almost three years now. You've probably had five toe injuries
Speaker 3: in the time I've been with you on the podcast.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm the new Who's that NFL player the toe?
Speaker 3: Crosa?
Speaker 1: Was it lou Groza? Was that his name? Who the toe?
Speaker 1: That's should be my new nickname with toast anyway, So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So I had an injury at the treadmill where I
Speaker 1: overdid a little bit and that resulted in my toenail
Speaker 1: turning black because there was blood underneath it. And so
Speaker 1: I've been dealing with this for years like this has
Speaker 1: not gone away. And so now that my toenail has
Speaker 1: fallen off on my left foot, which had the really
Speaker 1: big black toenail, which is disgusting. So this has now
Speaker 1: opened up a portal for me to try again to
Speaker 1: treat the ugly toe. So I actually already, Danny, I
Speaker 1: took a bunch of gunk from underneath because that came
Speaker 1: off with the toenail that I couldn't get to right.
Speaker 1: I'm talking like really thick caked on.
Speaker 3: Couldn't just give us a warning really quick right now
Speaker 3: to put our cherios down?
Speaker 1: Right next to me, Danny, I have the toenail. If
Speaker 1: you want, I can take a photo of it and
Speaker 1: send it to you. It's pretty pretty gnarly.
Speaker 3: That would just make my day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's right, it's right next to me. It's
Speaker 1: like a souvenir, you know. It's it's pretty. But I
Speaker 1: am optimistic, like I said, I'm optimistic on Benny Bright's
Speaker 1: side on this. So I got rid of already a
Speaker 1: lot of it. Now the problem is this stuff's so
Speaker 1: caked on. It's like on the skin of the toe.
Speaker 1: Because my toe is still black, but the toenail is gone.
Speaker 1: So I now have to get rid of what's on
Speaker 1: the skin on my toe on my left foot and
Speaker 1: so I'm planning on going full throttle and it's gonna
Speaker 1: My wife is modern day Mary Poppins, so she has
Speaker 1: much like your wife, Danny. She's got a bag of
Speaker 1: home remedies and a few other things that she found
Speaker 1: that we're going to try to help expedite the process here.
Speaker 1: And I was reading up on this online and it
Speaker 1: is why, like this takes like a year, and they
Speaker 1: recommend taking not just putting stuff on it, but you
Speaker 1: have to take other like drugs. I'm on drugs right now.
Speaker 3: Man. Do you have to take supplements also for here
Speaker 3: and nail growth?
Speaker 1: Well, some of it's like a prescription drug that you're
Speaker 1: supposed to take for like a year.
Speaker 3: Crazy is that to prevent infection there?
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. It makes no sense to
Speaker 1: me why you would need that. I I don't get it.
Speaker 1: There's got to be a way to do it without that.
Speaker 1: But anyway, by the time this is all done, Danny,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go really hard, go hard on a
Speaker 1: guy toes to the wall over the next you know,
Speaker 1: a couple of months. We'll see how it goes. But
Speaker 1: I will be saying super califragilistic Xbaliti doses when we
Speaker 1: get done here and I will have a before and
Speaker 1: after and I will I will be a toe model.
Speaker 1: And since since this is a toe themed fifth hour,
Speaker 1: I would like to do something we have not done
Speaker 1: before on the podcast day. I would like to have
Speaker 1: fungus fun.
Speaker 3: Oh, I thought you were going to say you're going
Speaker 3: to tow the line?
Speaker 1: Why that would have been better? See that I should
Speaker 1: have consulted with you, because that would have been a
Speaker 1: better line than the one I did. But while doing
Speaker 1: some opposition research on my enemy toe, I fell down
Speaker 1: a rabbit hole and came across all kinds of toenail
Speaker 1: related facts, which is likely a recipe for disaster. And
Speaker 1: we will have no one left listening to this podcast,
Speaker 1: but I would like to give you a few of them, Danny.
Speaker 1: I want to educate the masses on the toenail.
Speaker 3: This is fascinating.
Speaker 1: Is this not compelling audio? And I'm gonna tell you, Danny,
Speaker 1: toenail people don't know a lot about it. They just
Speaker 1: take their toenails for granted.
Speaker 3: I've been looking for that little extra push to get
Speaker 3: our overall podcast rating from a four point nine to
Speaker 3: a five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is it right here. This is the
Speaker 1: this is the big gusto, this is this is gonna
Speaker 1: be a mezing So I get I fell down this
Speaker 1: rabbit hole. I'm surfing around. Did you know, Danny that
Speaker 1: generally speaking, male toes grow faster than the female. Sorry, ladies,
Speaker 1: our toenails are better. We have amazing powers of growing
Speaker 1: our toenails.
Speaker 3: Sexist.
Speaker 1: Did you know your nails do not sweat? Danny cannot sweat.
Speaker 1: They need blood to survive. The nail grows an average
Speaker 1: of three point five millimeters per month. The gross Here's
Speaker 1: interesting part of it. The growth rate for nails is
Speaker 1: different depending on the season. I'm not sure. I would
Speaker 1: assume they grow less in the winter time, but I
Speaker 1: don't know that. Yeah, I don't know so, and that
Speaker 1: is pretty crazy. I did know this. They said, you can,
Speaker 1: like medical professionals can judge whether or not you have
Speaker 1: some weird disease based on just looking at your nails.
Speaker 1: And that's kind of cool, I guess, or scary. Uh?
Speaker 1: And he said, in ancient cultures, these are all amazing
Speaker 1: fun facts about nails and toenails. Wrong. In ancient cultures,
Speaker 1: they claim that the performance of nail art was a
Speaker 1: symbol of social status. So if you had like weird
Speaker 1: crap on your nails, you were you were like a baller.
Speaker 1: Back in the day, I read that toenails are basically
Speaker 1: human claws, So congratulations, Danny, you have claus what And
Speaker 1: there's research that says toenails help us balance. Did you
Speaker 1: know that? I bet you didn't know.
Speaker 3: That, But that makes sense because my mom tells a
Speaker 3: story that when I was in kindergarten and my younger
Speaker 3: brother was born, when he got home from the hospital,
Speaker 3: the first thing I asked my mom is can I
Speaker 3: see his pause?
Speaker 1: How about his fun guy? And bacteria lurk between our
Speaker 1: toenails and our skin right underneath it's filled. It is
Speaker 1: just a pool of bacteria and fun guy. And even
Speaker 1: if you have really nice hygiene habits and you have
Speaker 1: what appear to be beautifully clean toenails, the experts claim
Speaker 1: there are microscopically filthy toe. They're microscopically filthy even if
Speaker 1: they look clean, because of the bacteria and the fun
Speaker 1: guy that are underneath it. So there's no way to
Speaker 1: have a clean toe. So that makes that line I've used,
Speaker 1: which Eddie gets so upset about. You know, the line
Speaker 1: I used sometimes, Danny where Eddie gets really upset and
Speaker 1: I don't know what you say that when I talk
Speaker 1: about sucking toes, that is gotta be the most disgusting
Speaker 1: thing you can do, right, It's gotta be. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're sucking fun guy in bacteria man. So if you
Speaker 1: got a foot like Rex Ryan, the foot fetish man,
Speaker 1: that's you know, vomit comet stuff right there, that's wild.
Speaker 3: Might as well lick a public toilet.
Speaker 1: It says toenails are made of the same dead skin
Speaker 1: tissue as fingernails, but are two to three times thicker.
Speaker 3: About that?
Speaker 1: And how long will it take for my toenail to regrow?
Speaker 1: According to research? It says typically nails that come off
Speaker 1: will normally regrow within three to six months, So three
Speaker 1: to six months. I'm gonna let's do the math on that.
Speaker 1: It is September. Just came out in September, so we
Speaker 1: get through October, November, December. I was gonna do again October, November, December, January, February, March.
Speaker 1: I'm to wait till March to get my toenail back.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's after the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's nuts, dude. All Right, Well, that ends my
Speaker 1: total deep dive into fungus fun or as you said,
Speaker 1: what was your line there.
Speaker 3: Danny, what was your learn toe the line?
Speaker 1: Oh, the line I told the line. Are you ready
Speaker 1: for the word of the week.
Speaker 3: I've never been more ready the word of the week.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Wait, wait till the big TV people find out
Speaker 1: I'm doing a podcast about toe fungus. They'll love that.
Speaker 3: Anyway.
Speaker 1: The word of the week, the word of the week is.
Speaker 1: The word of the week is a word that I
Speaker 1: have used a fare amount recently, and it's a phrase
Speaker 1: of futzing around. The word is futs like, and the
Speaker 1: word futs the origin of the word futs it's actually
Speaker 1: a German word German slash Yiddish, goes back way before
Speaker 1: the days of Adolf Hitler, back when the Jews in
Speaker 1: Germany were hanging out there. But it's a Yiddish term
Speaker 1: and originally it was taken from Herhim Fersen. Sure, I'm
Speaker 1: butchering that Herms, but that word in German literally meant
Speaker 1: to fart around. Now there's a couple of different versions
Speaker 1: of what this the origin of the word futs. Apparently,
Speaker 1: if you believe some of what I was able to
Speaker 1: uncover here. Years and years ago, the word futs was
Speaker 1: a laying term for the most powerful word in the
Speaker 1: world that will annoy almost universally every single woman, the
Speaker 1: sea word. That that was a way of saying the
Speaker 1: sea word futs. How about that? In America? Though it
Speaker 1: goes back, this goes back almost one hundred years to
Speaker 1: the nineteen thirties, to the nineteen thirties, and it meant
Speaker 1: to loaf or waste time, which is the way I used.
Speaker 1: So I say I'm futsing around. I'm doing something, which
Speaker 1: is pretty much, you know, every day all I do
Speaker 1: is futs around because I'm getting ready for something. You know,
Speaker 1: most of my day is spent doing show prep, and
Speaker 1: the show's a very small part of the day. The
Speaker 1: rest of it's getting ready for the show and so
Speaker 1: or watching games or whatever to get ready. And so
Speaker 1: the word of the week is futs which originally meant
Speaker 1: to fart around, and well only originally it was the
Speaker 1: can't you see your next Tuesday word back in the day.
Speaker 1: So that is the word of the week. I think
Speaker 1: we'll push back scientifical, Danny. I think, right, we'll wait
Speaker 1: for another day to do scientific. We do it tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And by the way, I'm glad you're keeping that
Speaker 3: word alive. I don't think i've heard anyone use that
Speaker 3: word since my late great grandmother. She used to tell
Speaker 3: us stop fussing around, get your shoes on, we're going
Speaker 3: to kmart.
Speaker 1: Hey, listen, what's old is new again? Right, what's old
Speaker 1: is new again? And I like to play the hits,
Speaker 1: you know, play the hits? Why not? These are classic
Speaker 1: words and things get recycled. It's kind of like names.
Speaker 1: You names get recycled, right, there's a while where everyone's
Speaker 1: got the same name. When I was a kid, nobody
Speaker 1: was named Ben, and then there were a lot of

Speaker 1: I think your name is still somewhat popular though, right.

Speaker 1: so it doesn't get canceled. So I'll be hitting up
Speaker 1: social media. I'll be bouncing around social media, sending out
Speaker 1: random tweets alerting people when the show is going to
Speaker 1: be on. The thing is, I don't even know when
Speaker 1: it's I know what it's on in Boston, it's on.

Speaker 1: Lakers station in La.
Speaker 3: I love it Man Karma at its finest. In fact,
Speaker 3: last week I watched it with my little son, Cola
Speaker 3: and then a couple hours later, my wife, he was
Speaker 3: asking me about it and I said, it's on the
Speaker 3: Laker channel again, and she was laughing. She's like, that
Speaker 3: is so perfect.
Speaker 1: I know. I could not have been better. And we're
Speaker 1: actually excited because once the Lakers start playing, the ratings
Speaker 1: will go up, and so that'll mean we'll get some
Speaker 1: of the leftovers on Benny Versus the Penny, which I'm
Speaker 1: all about.
