Speaker 1: Booms. If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred
Speaker 1: minutes a week was enough, think again. He's the last
Speaker 1: remnants of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness.
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow. The clearing
Speaker 1: House of Hot takes break free for something special. The
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the
Speaker 1: air everywhere back at the Audio Dojo for a spicy,
Speaker 1: hot Carolina Reaper edition of The Fifth Hour with Ben
Speaker 1: Maller and Danny ge Radio. We are in the air everywhere. Indeed,
Speaker 1: the magic of podcasting in unlike radio, which booms out
Speaker 1: to the heavens. The podcast is available anywhere, anytime you want.
Speaker 1: Everywhere you get your podcast, you can hear this and
Speaker 1: we are on demand everywhere on the iHeartRadio app wherever
Speaker 1: you get your podcast, and Danny A Saturday Extravaganza is
Speaker 1: on tap. We are ready to kick it off right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's do this. And Ben, I just want to address
Speaker 1: the rumors that I earned over two hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: dollars yesterday from selling some of my Gmail votes, and
Speaker 1: that is incorrect. It was only two hundred and forty
Speaker 1: nine dollars. Yeah, well, Alf, the alien of Pinter short
Speaker 1: changed you a dollar. And it's a bad job by Alf.
Speaker 1: Shame on you, Shame on you. Alf. Come on, do
Speaker 1: better next time. Alf. So on this podcast, we've got
Speaker 1: double Mint, that's normal, hanging with Monet what you're doing,
Speaker 1: and Pop goes to culture. That's a lot of content
Speaker 1: for a lazy Saturday podcast. I would say that's way
Speaker 1: too much content. Discretion is advised. I mean, it's unbelievable
Speaker 1: how we squeeze all that in day. We might have
Speaker 1: to time shift half of this to Sunday for ratings purposes. Only.
Speaker 1: For ratings purposes only, we'll be spinning our wheels, is
Speaker 1: what we'll be doing. Speaking of that, we will now
Speaker 1: move forward in the broadcast. And we had a very
Speaker 1: very very very busy start to last week on the
Speaker 1: terrestrial radio show. If you were listening, you heard the
Speaker 1: magic in the old Fox Sports Radio studio. We have
Speaker 1: not moved to the new studio. I'm a skeptic on that.
Speaker 1: And the main old studio always hectic, you know, and
Speaker 1: you know when you start back at work after a
Speaker 1: couple of days off during the overnight show, we have
Speaker 1: a day and a half off. We work on Friday
Speaker 1: and then we're off the rest of Friday, but we
Speaker 1: sleep most of Friday. We're off on Saturday, but then
Speaker 1: Sunday's workday, so it's really like a day and a
Speaker 1: half off. It's not two full days. It's a day
Speaker 1: and half. So it's it's a blessing and a curse
Speaker 1: because you're off Friday night and Saturday night, but you
Speaker 1: gotta work Sunday, and so it's hold it. So coming
Speaker 1: back from the weekend, it's kind of hectic and all
Speaker 1: that getting back up to speed. And this night was
Speaker 1: different than all other nights because we had a Greyhound
Speaker 1: bus terminal. It was a beehive on the show. It
Speaker 1: reminded me of that old commercial from the back of
Speaker 1: the Day, double mint Gum, double your Pleasure, double your Fun. First,
Speaker 1: we had planned a excursion with Mason, the Millennial, the
Speaker 1: legendary Mason. You met Mason at the mallord b good
Speaker 1: young guy works for Tesla and he wanted to stop by.
Speaker 1: He had emailed me, he had reached out, and you know,
Speaker 1: I'm doing the show. It's hybrid. Some of the time,
Speaker 1: I'm in the main studio. A lot of the times
Speaker 1: I'm in the in the mobile Mallar studio, the home
Speaker 1: studio and so. But if if you're going to be
Speaker 1: in town and you want to hang out out, I
Speaker 1: can certainly adjust my schedule. And so Mason was like, Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be there, like to stop buying, and I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, cool, and so he reached out. He
Speaker 1: was going to a concert in the hood in Inglewood
Speaker 1: and he lives in the Bay Area. A good guy,
Speaker 1: big fantasy show. So I'm going to the studio to
Speaker 1: hay because Mason's gonna show up near the end of
Speaker 1: the show. And I was excited to see him and
Speaker 1: meet him again and all this stuff. But I got
Speaker 1: a I got a message right before the show started saying, Hey,
Speaker 1: are you in studio? And I was like, yah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm in studio. And it was from Jay Scoop, the
Speaker 1: legendary Jay Scoop. Oh was he visiting from Tea Town? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was in town and the gladiator known as Jay Scoop,
Speaker 1: and he said he was passing through La. He was
Speaker 1: in town to record some stuff. As he continues the
Speaker 1: musical career, and he wanted to stop buying say hello,
Speaker 1: and I was like, of course, the man almost died
Speaker 1: in December. Of course I'm gonna let Jay Scoop come
Speaker 1: hang out. So it was really cool to hang out
Speaker 1: with him. And Jay Scoop's been such a great part
Speaker 1: of the show and helped us out. He put together
Speaker 1: that Seattle meet and greet back in twenty nineteen, right
Speaker 1: before COVID a debonair a debonair member of the Malabusha,
Speaker 1: Jay Scoop, So I hung out with him for the
Speaker 1: first about the first maybe of the second hour, and
Speaker 1: then he got out of there. And then the very approachable,
Speaker 1: very friendly Mason the Millennial Show. So that was cool.
Speaker 1: And Mason's a bit of a social butterfly like I'm not,
Speaker 1: but you know, Mason's a people person. Now, did Mason
Speaker 1: find our friend Helmet Man outside of the concert in Inglewood?
Speaker 1: He did not report back to me that he did
Speaker 1: see Helmet Man. But I promise you Helmet Man is
Speaker 1: at every event at the Daanium in Inglewood, is outside
Speaker 1: well dressed, well groomed, as always right as the greatest
Speaker 1: set up in the world. There, I fell asleep and
Speaker 1: speaking a debonair. You can't get more charismatic than than
Speaker 1: that guy, right, I mean my and he's completely oblivious
Speaker 1: to the fact that he called the show pretty much
Speaker 1: every week for like five six years. I'm actually on
Speaker 1: the live air. And then he moved and completely forgot
Speaker 1: about the show, just completely moved on to something else.
Speaker 1: So I guess you could say that's normal for him, right, Danny,
Speaker 1: you could say that's normal for helmet man, but not
Speaker 1: for most other people. Yeah, he is a special member
Speaker 1: of the militia. Yeah, he's got a simpatico delivery he does.
Speaker 1: That's a good word, sympotico. I like that word. Somebody
Speaker 1: owes you five dollars. I don't use that word very much. Sympotico.
Speaker 1: It's good. It's a pleasant guy, is a pleasant guy.
Speaker 1: We like people like that. We don't. We'd rather hang
Speaker 1: out with people that are that are friendly and who
Speaker 1: wouldn't some douchebag who wants that. Did any of your
Speaker 1: guests bring you some fat sALS? No? And that did
Speaker 1: piss me off. As you know, Danny, we had the rule,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna visit, the price of admission you got
Speaker 1: to buy us off with food. Yes, that's been a
Speaker 1: long time entry fee. Yeah. The problem is this a
Speaker 1: we're all on these fughasy diets, right so we do
Speaker 1: this in a minute fast Even Eddie's on this nonsense.
Speaker 1: And I love fat sALS. It's very tough to recreate
Speaker 1: it if you if you don't eat it right away,
Speaker 1: like any food, if you don't eat it right away
Speaker 1: fat Seals, that fat Texas barbecue and you try to
Speaker 1: reheat it, it is not an enjoyable meal, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's I mean, you can put it
Speaker 1: in the oven and it'll be okay, but it's not.
Speaker 1: It doesn't have the same razmatazz as if you have
Speaker 1: it right away. Not to belabor the point, but I
Speaker 1: think I've made it. It's kind of like eating any
Speaker 1: any fast food. I've got to eat it within You
Speaker 1: got about a twenty five thirty minute window to eat
Speaker 1: fast food. If you don't eat it right away, you're done.
Speaker 1: It sucks, it blows, it's terrible garbage, garbage. Well, then
Speaker 1: just smaller orders, like you guys could split a Fat
Speaker 1: Seals sandwich. Oh but if I'm doing inter minute fasting,
Speaker 1: I can't even eat anything. I can just drink water.
Speaker 1: That's the problem. Don't shake your head at me. Not
Speaker 1: dare you? How dare you shake at my Michigassi? Here
Speaker 1: was great, great fat seals history on the show, and
Speaker 1: you guys are just shameful right now. Well you were
Speaker 1: there for the cakes also though. That was unreal. God
Speaker 1: that now that was overboard. We were getting designer cakes
Speaker 1: for like every other week. At one point, even job
Speaker 1: of the Hut would have been like, Okay, that's too much, dude.
Speaker 1: It was insane. It was absolutely nuts. And these were
Speaker 1: like designer luxury cakes like these were like thousand dollars
Speaker 1: cakes that we were getting every week. We remember the
Speaker 1: chuck the Condor one. We had a camel. I remember
Speaker 1: we talked about Adrian Peterson had a camel at his
Speaker 1: birthday party, and so I was like, I want a
Speaker 1: camel and we had a camel cake. I still have
Speaker 1: your camel drop, I want a camel. That was crazy, man.
Speaker 1: That also cake pops pizza almost every week, lots of
Speaker 1: pizza bets and lots of listeners would send pizza in
Speaker 1: for whatever celebration happened to be going on that week
Speaker 1: for the show. I don't think I've ever eaten that
Speaker 1: much Domino's pizza in my life. Yeah, we knew every
Speaker 1: nuance from the Domino's pizza menu, and the Domino's delivery
Speaker 1: guy was on a first name basis. We'd let the
Speaker 1: guy come in, he'd hang out with us, you know,
Speaker 1: he'd have the pizzas. We'd let him kind of chill
Speaker 1: out in the studio, and it was like we were
Speaker 1: like buddies, we're hanging out. Why not? What the hell er? Exactly?
Speaker 1: So turning the page on that Dan He turning the
Speaker 1: page and that was normal back then. But is that
Speaker 1: normal now? Right? You know? And it's funny because this
Speaker 1: kind of ties into your buddy Jay Scoop, who you
Speaker 1: were just talking about. He moved to northern California, right, Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: he's back in Colin Kaepernick's old stomping ground. That's right.
Speaker 1: And that's also where my mom stays, and I drove
Speaker 1: up this past weekend to visit her. Now, I also
Speaker 1: wanted to be halfway between my family who live in
Speaker 1: the Bay Area, so I found the night Aist hotel
Speaker 1: in Stockton, California. And Stockton is known as a nice
Speaker 1: vacation city. It's underrated. You look at all the travel websites.
Speaker 1: That's some of the finest hotels in the world. They
Speaker 1: do the surveys every year. Yeah yeah, And of course
Speaker 1: this didn't happen until the famous mayor Michael Tubbs took
Speaker 1: over and cleaned up the city. I'm talking about the
Speaker 1: seventy ninth mayor of Stockton, California, who was featured on
Speaker 1: HBO and other big channels across the country. Because of
Speaker 1: mister Tubbs, there are now the four Seasons there, there
Speaker 1: is a Grand High, there's a ritz I believe. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't know which fancy hotel to choose from in Stockton. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I've been to a minor league hockey game in
Speaker 1: Stockton at their sports arena, really pretty arena right on
Speaker 1: the harbor. There's a hotel adjacent. Teams stay at the hotel.
Speaker 1: It's about it's about twenty stories high, really nice looking hotel. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I found a good rate. Even though my Tenderni
Speaker 1: is really picky when it comes to hotels, I thought
Speaker 1: to myself, well, she's gonna really love this place. Get
Speaker 1: to Stockton, And as soon as we drive into the city,
Speaker 1: the first thing you see at the first stoplight that
Speaker 1: we're at is a building that's boarded up, always a
Speaker 1: good indicator that you're in a good part of town. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it looked like this used to be an amazing restaurant,
Speaker 1: but now it had wood covering all of its windows.
Speaker 1: She looked at me and she said, this place looks abandoned.
Speaker 1: That is kind of hate. Well, it's just the ambiance
Speaker 1: of the town. It's it's it's you know, it's an
Speaker 1: old rustic It's a rustic look, is what it is now.
Speaker 1: Mind you. Stockton as a special place in my heart.
Speaker 1: This was the first radio market where I had my
Speaker 1: first professional radio gig. First time I ever got a
Speaker 1: paycheck for blabbing and talking on the microphone was in Stockton, California.
Speaker 1: Did a live broadcast there one time in front of
Speaker 1: the black Angus and it's the Chevy Impaula came scooting by,
Speaker 1: and the guys inside the impaula showed me a gun. Well,
Speaker 1: much like John Morant down the line, you know, you
Speaker 1: just want to sometimes you want to share. It's like
Speaker 1: it's like an elementary school, right, you bring things in
Speaker 1: to share with the class. Yeah, I felt like because
Speaker 1: I was holding a microphone and the dude in the car.
Speaker 1: He was showing me what he was holding. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: I felt like it was like a sign of respect,
Speaker 1: Like he was like, yeah, you're holding the steel, I'm
Speaker 1: holding the steel. Yeah. Come on, we're all friends here.
Speaker 1: Look at this. It's like the Old West. It's like
Speaker 1: a saloon in the Old West. So I have this
Speaker 1: connection with Stockton since I was a kid. You know,
Speaker 1: I spent half my life in La the other half
Speaker 1: up in the Bay in the Stockton area, and so
Speaker 1: I you know, this was the first time, by the way,
Speaker 1: that I got to take my TINDERRONI to that area.
Speaker 1: She's gonna meet my mom the next day. We're gonna
Speaker 1: have breakfast. So I'm thinking, well, what are we going
Speaker 1: to do tonight in the Stockton area. But first I
Speaker 1: gotta get checked into the hotel. So now we see
Speaker 1: this boarded up restaurant. She tells me this looks abandoned.
Speaker 1: I told her, no, no, no, that's normal. We go
Speaker 1: down the main drag and right in front of city Hall,
Speaker 1: I need to take a left to get to the
Speaker 1: waterfront for the hotel. As we are passing City Hall,
Speaker 1: there is a dude ben in broad daylight who is
Speaker 1: watering the city's lawn. I know they've got a lot
Speaker 1: of rain, but the drought you've got you gotta help
Speaker 1: out man, organic water, come on God's water. Now. Thank god.
Speaker 1: He had his back turned to us, but we could
Speaker 1: see the spray, yeah, onto the grass, and my girl said,
Speaker 1: oh my god, it is that guy doing what I
Speaker 1: think he's doing. And I was like, just look straight ahead,
Speaker 1: we're going to the waterfront. So now, in fairness, have
Speaker 1: you let your wife know that at the Fox Sports
Speaker 1: Radio studios on multiple occasions, there have been homeless people
Speaker 1: that have gotten up on the what do you call that,
Speaker 1: the planter in front of Fox Sports Radio, Yeah, and
Speaker 1: not realizing that the glass there's actually people behind it.
Speaker 1: The windows they have taken care of their bids right
Speaker 1: on the right there. Yeah, exactly what it looked like,
Speaker 1: but from a different vantage point in a car. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now we get to the waterfront and I'm like, this
Speaker 1: is nice. I see the nice arena, I see the
Speaker 1: nice hotel. But there are two guys they must have
Speaker 1: been the guards working for the hotel, both of them
Speaker 1: standing outside of the hotel holding forties in brown paper bags.
Speaker 1: Oh okay yeah, and I'm like, wow, they left their
Speaker 1: security guards drink on the job. It's pretty cool. Listen,
Speaker 1: it's it's part of the uniform, right, yeah. Yeah. Were
Speaker 1: they smoking anything? Also, they have any Yeah. At this point,
Speaker 1: we just wanted to get in and get our bags
Speaker 1: to the room. So we go inside. My girl has
Speaker 1: to use the bathroom, and we both look at something
Speaker 1: that I don't normally see at any hotel. You know
Speaker 1: how there's usually a concierge desk. Yeah, yeah, sure. At
Speaker 1: this hotel, they turned the concierge area into a security station. Oh.
Speaker 1: Of course, this reminds me of the hotel I stay
Speaker 1: I was checked in at in Phoenix and we left.
Speaker 1: That's what this reminds me of. In really big letters
Speaker 1: across the desk and said security, and I was just
Speaker 1: shaking my head, like, oh man, well, at least they
Speaker 1: have security. Um, did you see anyone walking out with
Speaker 1: a wife beater on and any of that? No? No,
Speaker 1: But as I was bringing our bags up to the
Speaker 1: room on the second floor, there was a dude in
Speaker 1: the elevator smoking a blunt smoke. Okay, there you go,
Speaker 1: come on, like, okay, a lot of places in California
Speaker 1: don't allow you to smoke. So it's a smoke friendly hotel. Okay, perfect.
Speaker 1: Now I'm really hungry, and I tell my girl. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go find us a snack. You stay here
Speaker 1: at the hotel, take a shower, relax. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: get us something to eat. Yeah. I am driving down
Speaker 1: March Lane and right next to me, Ben, there was
Speaker 1: a drag race going on. These two dudes aren't going
Speaker 1: for it. Drag race seen each other. It was fast
Speaker 1: and the Furious twelve. It was awesome, all right. So
Speaker 1: I got a free show on my way to the
Speaker 1: Togo sandwich shop and this jive turkey comes up to
Speaker 1: me and he says, man, I like your Dodger's hat,
Speaker 1: but you're in the Bay Area. You need to pay
Speaker 1: a giant's fee. Get away from me. San Francisco's that way.
Speaker 1: You need to go get a fee out of your
Speaker 1: giant's owner. You guys suck. Yeah, And then he pushed
Speaker 1: you right between the eyes right there. You know, he
Speaker 1: didn't know I don't look like the friendliest dude, so
Speaker 1: he left me alone. I mean, Biga, let alone. I
Speaker 1: got you, all right, So I get back to the
Speaker 1: fancy hotel. I told my girl I said, okay, you
Speaker 1: got three options. A minor league basketball game happening at
Speaker 1: the Arena tonight, there's a Sacramento Kings game a half
Speaker 1: hour up the road, or we can go towards my
Speaker 1: mom's town and see a movie. She said, well, well,
Speaker 1: which direction is the least violent? You say, none of
Speaker 1: the above. So we went to the cowtown and I
Speaker 1: took her to see Cocaine Bear Bunch of Hookers on Cocaine.
Speaker 1: It was actually better than we expected. It was a
Speaker 1: pretty good movie. It's a nice little town called Mantica.
Speaker 1: All was well, all was right in the world. Everything
Speaker 1: turned out okay. But when we got out of there,
Speaker 1: I told my girl, I was like, well, look at
Speaker 1: I didn't realize there was that shaine of hotel here.
Speaker 1: The next time we come back, we'll stay there. And
Speaker 1: she said, no, no, no, no, next time, have your
Speaker 1: mom come down here and I'll pay for Disneyland for her.
Speaker 1: Oh that's great. Oh man, do they still have they
Speaker 1: used to have a mir League team? He called the
Speaker 1: ports that still yeah, they still there. There's the Stockton
Speaker 1: Ports and the Modesto Nuts. I remember the stock In
Speaker 1: Ports back back in the day. So was it awkward.
Speaker 1: Your mom had not met you're married, You've got a
Speaker 1: a spawn on the way, and your mom had not
Speaker 1: approved of this. Is this was this awkward for you? No,
Speaker 1: it was not awkward. My mom is a fan of
Speaker 1: my life right now. She just had never met her
Speaker 1: in person yet, and we wanted her to go to
Speaker 1: the wedding really bad, but she could not take the
Speaker 1: long flight to Hawaii, so that's why we had to
Speaker 1: drive to her. And before my girl gets too big
Speaker 1: with the pregnancy, I was like, we better make our
Speaker 1: way up north. That's a smart move. Sure, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: now where you know? You weren't nervous at all, because
Speaker 1: when I introduced my now wife to my mom, I
Speaker 1: was like, I like threw up. I was so nervous,
Speaker 1: Like I needed my mom's I needed my mom's approval.
Speaker 1: But you're at the point where you've already gone down
Speaker 1: the road, so it's like, you know, you're it's a
Speaker 1: little different. I was just dating at the time, so
Speaker 1: for me, it was like a deal, and I think
Speaker 1: it would have been more nerve wracking if it was
Speaker 1: just somebody I was dating. My mom is very religious,
Speaker 1: always has been. To her. If you're just dating someone
Speaker 1: or living with them. You're living in sin So I'm
Speaker 1: on the up and up right now because I actually
Speaker 1: got hitched. You're you're you're legal. Everything's good. You know,
Speaker 1: your Bible approved Jesus hanging with money. So you were driving,
Speaker 1: you drove to to your old stopping grounds to see family. Well,
Speaker 1: my wife she wanted to get out of town. We
Speaker 1: get this new malamobile and she wanted to go on
Speaker 1: a road trip. Oh, tell her about Stockton. Yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: recommend that. You know, my wife loves thaying at hotels
Speaker 1: like that, as your wife does. She's like, we need
Speaker 1: to go somewhere. We need to go to Vegas, bas Vegas,
Speaker 1: Baby Vegas. And then I was like okay, And then
Speaker 1: she wanted me to see if I, you know, I
Speaker 1: know some people in Vegas. I might be able to
Speaker 1: get a deal on a hotel. So I reached out
Speaker 1: to one of the guys that I dealt with in
Speaker 1: the past to you know, could hook you up. And
Speaker 1: I send a nice email, said, hey, I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: in town, you know whatever. Didn't even bother right back.
Speaker 1: The guy didn't right back. I haven't talked to him
Speaker 1: since COVID, so maybe he's upset with me. So that
Speaker 1: was that was that total. The guy didn't get back
Speaker 1: to me. So then I say, well, we didn't want
Speaker 1: to go to Vegas because it's expensive and whatever, so
Speaker 1: we made a run for the border. We decided to
Speaker 1: stop in San Diego for the little one day sojourn
Speaker 1: to my old stomping grounds with San Diego. And every
Speaker 1: time we go to San Diego, I always point out
Speaker 1: that's the building I started in radio right over there.
Speaker 1: Well that's all right. Next year, off at sea World Drive,
Speaker 1: five South SeaWorld Drive. You make a right and a
Speaker 1: left and it's this building that's right across from the
Speaker 1: California Highway Patrol station, which we were always pissed about
Speaker 1: because we worked there. We couldn't beat out of the
Speaker 1: lot because literally right across the street were HP. So
Speaker 1: it was. But anyway, we went to San Diego and
Speaker 1: we stopped at Old Town. You've been there, right, you
Speaker 1: go in San Diego. That's a tourist trap. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's great, And so parking was a boondoggle. Had a
Speaker 1: nice authentic Mexican you know me at that restaurant there,
Speaker 1: and then headed to bout Ball Park. I had not
Speaker 1: been to ballpark, and I was a kid. I didn't
Speaker 1: go there when I worked there. I just go to
Speaker 1: pottery games or Charger games. I didn't go to bout
Speaker 1: balla park. But that's where all the museums are in
Speaker 1: San Diego. And it was a freak show. I mean
Speaker 1: they had every base cupboard, the Gods squad was out,
Speaker 1: and then some you had one booth over here. There
Speaker 1: was a ten Aska Christian that was the first one,
Speaker 1: which is fine. Then it was Asking Atheist, then it
Speaker 1: was Aska Muslim and it was just like they all
Speaker 1: had their own They were all recruiting every even the
Speaker 1: non religions we recruiting. I did not see ask a Jew.
Speaker 1: I did not did not I could have helped. I
Speaker 1: could have put my own booth up. I'm a bad Jew,
Speaker 1: but I could have put that up. That was called Alexa.
Speaker 1: Yeah there you go, Oh dare you? But it's a
Speaker 1: missed opportunity, a missed opportunity. But we we didn't have
Speaker 1: a lot of time. By the time we got to
Speaker 1: Balboa Park, it was kind of later in the day,
Speaker 1: and all these freaking museums closed early. Why on, somebody
Speaker 1: explained to me, why does a museum have to close
Speaker 1: at five o'clock. Why can't it be open to eight o'clock?
Speaker 1: Why five o'clock? Why not six o'clock, seven o'clock, maybe
Speaker 1: nine o'clock? Why why do they keep bankers hours at museums?
Speaker 1: Can you explain that to me? Danny, you're smarter than me.
Speaker 1: Can you explain why museums have to close at five o'clock?
Speaker 1: Everybody knows Ben that when it gets dark outside, museums
Speaker 1: come alive. Oh, that's true. I did see that. That That
Speaker 1: was a good movie. Yea, Robins A couple of those movies, yea,
Speaker 1: if you why, I saw the first one. So we
Speaker 1: went to the SDMA, the San Diego Museum Art, and
Speaker 1: I was hanging with Monet, Claude Monet and someone I've
Speaker 1: goofed on many times. I said, it's like a Monee.
Speaker 1: It looks great from a distance and you get close,
Speaker 1: you get closer and you're like, ooh. But they had Monet's,
Speaker 1: they had Picasso's, Salvador Dolli Batisse. And I don't think
Speaker 1: my wife appreciated some of my commentary, Danny, because I'm
Speaker 1: not a big art museum guy. That was more for
Speaker 1: her she's more to this than I am. But I
Speaker 1: was like, I'll be a good sport, I'll be a
Speaker 1: team player. Why not? And so we we did our thing,
Speaker 1: and some of the paintings I would I told my wife,
Speaker 1: I said, I think if I went to like Michael's
Speaker 1: or Joanne's and bought some paint and gave it to
Speaker 1: my four year old nephew and told him on a
Speaker 1: blank canvas to paint, that he would do a very
Speaker 1: similar job to what I'm looking at in the art
Speaker 1: museum that is a million dollars masterpiece. And I don't
Speaker 1: think she appreciated that. And anyway, that was it was fun.
Speaker 1: We went to the gas gas lamp district in San Diego.
Speaker 1: That was also crazy, and there were long waits to
Speaker 1: eat and I didn't see Poppy or anyone I know.
Speaker 1: But the art thing, it reminds me of that great
Speaker 1: quote anything and everything can be art. It's true, anything
Speaker 1: can be art. I could I could say right now
Speaker 1: this podcast is art. It's art. If you say it's art,
Speaker 1: it's art. Yeah. And a lot of it's just marketing.
Speaker 1: I've determined a lot of what makes art popular is
Speaker 1: just a certain percentage of rich people who think it's
Speaker 1: like the intellectual crowd. I'm not an intellectual. I talk
Speaker 1: about sports. You just need a really good manager like
Speaker 1: suld Night. Oh yeah, what's what's he? What's he doing
Speaker 1: these days? Do we know what he's up to? Is
Speaker 1: he's listening to our podcast Behind Bars. He's on an
Speaker 1: extended vacation at the Great Bar Hotel. Is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What ug? There? You go? All right, So that was
Speaker 1: my trip to to Sandy. Also, my favorite art quote
Speaker 1: is from Andy Warhol, who said an artist is somebody
Speaker 1: who produces things that people don't need to have. That's
Speaker 1: about right. That's much like sports talk radio or podcasting.
Speaker 1: Wait a second, though, when I visited you for your
Speaker 1: Halloween party at the mallor Mansion, you had some art
Speaker 1: up on the walls. Well, that was not my doing,
Speaker 1: and I did dresses Bob Ross, the greatest painter of
Speaker 1: all right, all right, what you're doing? What you're doing?
Speaker 1: Portion of the show. Now, we've asked people to send
Speaker 1: in comments on what they're doing, and our friend Jennifer
Speaker 1: from Richmond, Virginia writes in she says I am late
Speaker 1: to the what You're Doing party? She says, I love
Speaker 1: to listen to the fifth dollar Pods. When I am
Speaker 1: Jennifer says lifting weights about this wonder woman doing Aaron
Speaker 1: laying in the tanning bed, Hello, Giggy and cooking dinner.
Speaker 1: So she says, thanks all you guys do and we
Speaker 1: thank you. Jennifer, that's kind of cool. You think she's
Speaker 1: got a tanning bed in her house or she goes
Speaker 1: to like a tanning bed somewhere out in the city,
Speaker 1: probably a tanning salon. Those things are expensive, aren't they
Speaker 1: have the tank? Yeah, those things are pricey. Plus they
Speaker 1: probably break all the time. Be a pain, a pain
Speaker 1: in the behind, for sure. We'll do a few. Pop
Speaker 1: goes the culture and stories and that means, ohio, all right,
Speaker 1: thank you, ah hi, we'll do a couple. Did you
Speaker 1: see this story? You might guys might have talked about
Speaker 1: this on Caveno and Rich. There was a couple that
Speaker 1: sued is Snorkeling Company. Oh yeah, yeah. They allegedly were
Speaker 1: abandoned in the middle of the ocean. They almost drowned. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is crazy the story. The New York Post had
Speaker 1: it the other day. And the water became turbulent and
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and that is have you you've been
Speaker 1: on these things, right, these snorkeling I was in Hawaii. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've been on snorkeling boats twice now. And that's why
Speaker 1: reading the story gave me anxiety. That water is pretty
Speaker 1: rough sometimes, and so when you fight your way back
Speaker 1: to the boat, you have a sigh of relief, like, oh,
Speaker 1: thank god, I'm back on the boat. It's fun while
Speaker 1: you're snorkeling, but it takes everything out of you to
Speaker 1: fight that choppy water. So imagine the boat leaving and
Speaker 1: you being stuck in that choppy water. How does that happen?
Speaker 1: This happened in Hawaii. It happened near Maui. I've I
Speaker 1: was snorkeling near Kawaie, the the great coast there forgetting
Speaker 1: the name of it, but that beautiful coast in Hawaii,
Speaker 1: which is just wonderful. But yeah, they's having a Maui
Speaker 1: in September of twenty twenty one, Like, don't you do
Speaker 1: a headcount? Don't you say, all right, everyone, everyone that
Speaker 1: is in our foxhole is going to be in our foxhole.
Speaker 1: When they blamed it on people moving around during the
Speaker 1: head count on the boat, they said that they couldn't
Speaker 1: get everyone to sit still okay, do the head count again? Then, yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta make sure on that. Oh yeah, you talk
Speaker 1: about negligence. They're gonna win some money, right, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Well, yeah, it's normally to win a lot
Speaker 1: of money, you gotta have permanent damage. Do they have
Speaker 1: permanent damage? Oh? I guess if they're scarred to ever
Speaker 1: get back in the water. Maybe, Yeah, another pop goes
Speaker 1: the culture story. Study finds that making daylight saving time permanent,
Speaker 1: which is supposed to happen. I guess it's not official.
Speaker 1: We're supposed to change the clocks in April, and if
Speaker 1: everything goes right, that'll be the last time we change
Speaker 1: the clocks. I think, yeah, that's what I read too. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But this new study claims that by doing that. This
Speaker 1: is from the journal Current Biology this week. They claim
Speaker 1: they predict that keeping year round daylight savings time will
Speaker 1: reduce the amount of time that rush hour traffic takes
Speaker 1: place during darkness, which makes sense. That would prevent thirty
Speaker 1: three deaths and two thousand injuries, and would save about
Speaker 1: one point two billion dollars in collision costs. Do you
Speaker 1: buy that? I think that's bullshit. I'm not a numbers guy.
Speaker 1: But that doesn't seem to add up. Yeah, one point
Speaker 1: two billion. How do they know it's exactly thirty three
Speaker 1: people that will be saved? Why is it not thirty
Speaker 1: five people or forty people? Why is it only thirty three?
Speaker 1: Why you gotta be so skeptical. I'm just saying, man,
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just put that out. Here's one right
Speaker 1: out of a horror movie. Football sized self cloning monster goldfish.
Speaker 1: Do you see this one taking over Canadian lakes by
Speaker 1: the thousands, by the thousands. How the hell did this happen? Well,
Speaker 1: the fish. The fish rank third in both countries, behind
Speaker 1: dogs and cats as the most popular household pet. The goldfish,
Speaker 1: I guess, just fish in general, but people regularly will
Speaker 1: abandon their pets and in this case fish, and so
Speaker 1: these monster goldfish have been popping up because when the
Speaker 1: goldfish outgrows the tank, the owner dumps it in the
Speaker 1: pond or the lake and flushing them down the toilet,
Speaker 1: which I guess makes them stronger. Anyway, a CBC is
Speaker 1: reporting that these monster goldfish are the size of an
Speaker 1: NFL football. Yeah. Yeah, Thousands of large invasive goldfish have
Speaker 1: multiplied in bodies of water around the province there in
Speaker 1: Canada and the goldfish. Wow, they can release fifty thousand
Speaker 1: eggs at one time. They do this three times a summer,
Speaker 1: so you can do the math on that. Who needs
Speaker 1: a koi pond? Like, check out my fat ass goldfish?
Speaker 1: Check this out. The female goldfish do not even need
Speaker 1: the male to reproduce. They can do it on their own.
Speaker 1: I'm a female goldfish, hear me, swim, I'm a woman,
Speaker 1: hear me raw. Wow. Yeah, the females do not need
Speaker 1: us male goldfish. They have a special process that's got
Speaker 1: a funny typical name. But the female will get the
Speaker 1: sperm from different kinds of minnow and to start the
Speaker 1: egg developing. And what a ho h man? How about that?
Speaker 1: I guess like you matter so useless. We don't need you,
Speaker 1: male goldfish. Screw you, We'll do it our own. You
Speaker 1: lose it. Uh. And they went doing it on their own. Uh.
Speaker 1: There was one as one other one. I wanted to
Speaker 1: get to um trying to trying to find it. There's
Speaker 1: a few things that that popped up here, all right,
Speaker 1: how about this one? These stories pop up every every
Speaker 1: so often and we all just kind of like, look
Speaker 1: at this and say, ah, that's uh, that's bull pucky.
Speaker 1: That's bullpucky. Uh. This is another one of these weight
Speaker 1: loss ones. It says edible flowers from West Africa maybe
Speaker 1: a natural weight loss supplement. I don't know these weight
Speaker 1: loss things. You know how many these things I've read
Speaker 1: over the years, and they're all bullshit because people are
Speaker 1: still gaining weight and doing their thing. Here's another one.
Speaker 1: Cars could be powered by baking powder, while planes could
Speaker 1: run on fertilizer by the end of the decade, by
Speaker 1: twenty thirty. That sounds like a bunch of fertilizer. That's fertilizer, right.
Speaker 1: This comes out of the guy that is a chemistry
Speaker 1: professor at the University of Oxford in England. He predicts
Speaker 1: that sodium will become the dominant battery type for cars,
Speaker 1: ammonia found and fertilizer could be used to power airlines. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You imagine being on a plane and you're like, we
Speaker 1: gotta go back. We need more fertilizers so we can fly. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I got one for you. A big band. What's that?
Speaker 1: If you grew up in southern California, or even if
Speaker 1: you just ever visited Southern California, you knew Cal Worthington
Speaker 1: in his famous commercials. That's right, Worthington family sold their
Speaker 1: very last dealership, marking an end of an era. And
Speaker 1: of course it was go see cow, go see caw,
Speaker 1: go see caw. But as little kids, what did we
Speaker 1: think they were saying? It was something a little different,
Speaker 1: something a little let's see cow put the cow exactly.
Speaker 1: And you know the story I heard that that started
Speaker 1: as a gag that Cal Worthington did that to goof
Speaker 1: on a another car dealer, that he started paying it
Speaker 1: to people that aren't familiar with this. So Cal Worthington
Speaker 1: was a local car dealership in LA in Long Beach,
Speaker 1: I believe, but they had a bunch of dealerships by
Speaker 1: the time they got going. And so Cal would show
Speaker 1: up in this oversized cowboy hat, Cal Worthington, and he'd
Speaker 1: have like a lion or a bear or a dog
Speaker 1: or whatever, like crazy exotic animals, and he would do
Speaker 1: the commercial like he'd just pretend like he wasn't scared
Speaker 1: for his life, and he'd have a brown bear right
Speaker 1: next to him. Yeah, almost like the animal tamer that
Speaker 1: would bring different animals to the tonight show. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and they were so over the top. In fact, if
Speaker 1: you want to, if you want to check them out,
Speaker 1: a lot of those commercials are on YouTube. You can
Speaker 1: type in cal Worthington and they'll come up and you
Speaker 1: can check him out. It was it was crazy, but
Speaker 1: that isn't the end of an era. I mean that
Speaker 1: was a big part of television when everyone was watching
Speaker 1: the same eight channels. Yeah, pretty crazy. There. We've outlived
Speaker 1: cal Worthington and his dog spot, right, and his dog spot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and the joke was his dog spot might be a lion,
Speaker 1: it might be an alligator, it might be a bear.
Speaker 1: Come see my dogs. Right, Good times in the hood,
Speaker 1: good memories, doing nostalgia, nostalgia. It is all right, having
Speaker 1: wonderful rest of your day on this Saturday. We will
