Now, normally we have a certain routine. 21 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: If you've listened to this podcast, you know that We 22 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: typically start out by looking at some dopey holidays that 23 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 1: are taking place. Now we've been doing this for many, 24 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: many months, and today would be the worst day that 25 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: I can remember for cheeseball holidays. I was trying, I 26 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: was just trying to find something that seemed fun, something 27 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: that seemed interesting, and there's just nothing there. Like the 28 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: one that stood out is National Sausage Pizza Day. Does 29 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: sausage pizza need its own day? Isn't there just a 30 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: there's a pizza Day and that should be fine, but 31 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: there's a sausage Pizza Day, and then there's like a 32 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: bunch of other stuff just aren't any good that are 33 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: just kind of dumb. So bad day for holidays. But 34 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: the show must go on. The show must go on 35 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: for us peasants, the common man, the hoi POLOI, the 36 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: rank and file. Everyone to say it. And on this podcast, 37 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: the Friday edition, the eleventh of October, we've got does 38 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: anyone have a watch? Mayor Aura? Foody fun and the 39 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: phrase of the week. The phrase of the week, But 40 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: as always we start with the shameless promotion for the 41 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: number one TV show that you're gonna watch this weekend, 42 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: and it still amazes me that my name is on it. 43 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: It is Benny versus the Penny, and I am a 44 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: proud papa, if you will. Many of you have taken 45 00:02:54,639 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: time out and sent me photographs of you watching the 46 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: show and not only watching it at home, and those 47 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: are great. Those are wonderful. Are our friend in the 48 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: Minneapolis area, she's got a nice cabin, just just awesome, 49 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: and some of the other photos. But people have been 50 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: sending me photos from restaurants, which is awesome. One guy 51 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: in New Hampshire was at a sports bar, which I 52 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: didn't even know they had sports bars in New Hampshire. 53 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: It's not very big. I know they have a nice 54 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: little Portsmouth is a nice little tourist town, but I 55 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: haven't really sport New Hampshire too much. But anyway, the 56 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: guy sent me a photo at some sports bars said yeah, 57 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: they have it on there. You're on the tv there 58 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: in the sports bar. I said, well, that's pretty cool, 59 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: so thank you for that. My email, you neither send 60 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: it to benmalorshow at gmail dot com or the Fifth 61 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: Hour podcast email. We have our own email, which is 62 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: probably better that way because that's what I use for 63 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: the podcast when I'm getting ready for the podcast. I 64 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: normally go going through the email and it's kind of 65 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: my routine. So if you want to send something in 66 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: real fifth hour at gmail dot com and it is 67 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: available starting today all over the place. Benny Versus the Penny, 68 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: the first episode of Benny Versus the Penny will air 69 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: at six pm today Boston, NBC Sports Boston, right after 70 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: the simulcast of Felger and Maz It ends at six 71 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: and then our show begins handicapping as I analyze all 72 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: the big games and we go head to head against 73 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: the Penny. Now, I have not seen the episode this 74 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: weekend's episode. We were doing it yesterday at Universal Studios. 75 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,559 Speaker 1: We were taping it and it was a fun, fun 76 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: show to tape. I'm not sure what the final product 77 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: is going to be. I'm hoping there is a Looney 78 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: blooper that made the show. There was a debate in 79 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: the control room among the the boys that work on 80 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: the show. Vinnie and John I think was part of that, 81 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: and a couple of the other big guys there that 82 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: are involved in trying to put together and then we 83 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: do a couple of takes and then normally we try 84 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: to just do one take but typically we end up 85 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: having to do a couple and so we don't know 86 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: what you don't know, so we'll find out. I will 87 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: find out with you. And on NBC Sports Boston, the 88 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: show will air a bunch. Not only is it air 89 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: at six o'clock, but also at eight thirty. There's another 90 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: showing at nine to thirty. So three showings of Benny 91 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: Versus the Penny in Boston tonight, and that's the flagship 92 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,679 Speaker 1: of the show because it's produced out of NBC Sports Boston, 93 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: but it is also on in many many other locations, 94 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: some I don't even know about. It's on in Philadelphia, 95 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: Home of the Fight in Phills. That'll be at six 96 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: point thirty if you're in Philly on NBC Sports Philadelphia 97 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: six thirty tonight, right after Birds Huddle with Barrett Brooks 98 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: and Birds Huddle. I think I know what that's about 99 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: being in Philadelphia. But anyway, that's available Benny Versus the 100 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: Penny six thirty in Philadelphia. Check your local TV listings 101 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: for the time in your area. And if you don't 102 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: have an NBC Sports regional cable channel or affiliate near you, 103 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: I know we're on in La on the Laker station, 104 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: for example, which is partnered with NBC but not a 105 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: technical NBC station, not run not operated by NBC, so 106 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: there is that. And also on Peacock streaming nationally, you 107 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: can always get your hands on Benny versus the Penny 108 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: every single moment, all weekend long, starting later today. It 109 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: might not be up right now if you're listening early. 110 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: This podcast goes up relatively early in the day. I'm 111 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: not even really sure exactly when the podcast or the 112 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: TV show rather goes on Peacock, but it's available once 113 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: it goes up, usually late afternoon, sometimes early evening on Friday, 114 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: which is today, and then it'll be all Saturday and 115 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: then you can watch it. And I don't think old 116 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: episodes are available, so you really have to watch it 117 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: when the newest episode is available. So with that as 118 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: the backdrop, let's go back to last Friday. You might 119 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: remember I was still recovering from a tongue injury. This 120 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: job is not that easy. I had bitten my tongue, 121 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: which is not as bad as burning your tongue, but 122 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: in the same family. So I'd bitten my tongue the 123 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: left side of my tongue, and it was causing me 124 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: a whole lot of problems. I was able to do 125 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: the show, but it was very uncomfortable. It wasn't fun. 126 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: It's still not all the way back to where it 127 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: needs to be because I'm still talking a lot, and 128 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: so it's getting better. I'm almost where I want to be, 129 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: but still off a little bit little whacky, a little bit, 130 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: a little bit of whacking. And it's going on. But 131 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: my schedule, I have first world problems. My schedule is 132 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: one where I'm very very busy for several days during 133 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: the week. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are not not good 134 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: good days. Now they are good days because I love 135 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: what I do and I like my job, and so 136 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: it's fun. But I am burning the midnight oil and 137 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: then some. And I'm not doing it at lavish parties, 138 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: these extravagant upscale shin digs. No, I'm not doing it 139 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: at private meetings. I am doing it with my face 140 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: either buried into a microphone or buried into my laptop 141 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: as I try to put together the handicapping for the 142 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: weekend's NFL games. And so that's my routine, and it's 143 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: the malor O rama. And really it starts on Tuesday, 144 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: you know, I wait for the Monday game day. And 145 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: that's something new that I did last year. I'd start 146 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: doing it on Monday, and I was like, I need 147 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: to get the final numbers. So I wait till the 148 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: Monday night games are over, and then I see whether 149 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: or not my picks collapsed or not, and which games 150 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: laid an egg and where I whiffed and all that, 151 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: and then try to figure it out. But I typically 152 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: wait till Tuesday. Right after the show on Tuesday morning, 153 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: I go right to it and I spend a good 154 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: amount of time handicapping on Tuesday. And then Wednesday's the 155 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,599 Speaker 1: big big day. You start getting injury reports, which is 156 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: a big part of this. Who's playing, who's not playing, 157 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 1: and so that's that's a big part of it. But 158 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: I'm up a lot. I don't get a lot of sleep. 159 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: And then Thursday we do the show and we record 160 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: the TV show and then I've got to deal with 161 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: rush hour traffic from Universal Studio, and I have to 162 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 1: get ready for the other show, the radio show, the 163 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: live show, and so I end up getting maybe two 164 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: to three hours maybe. Now usually I'm a four to 165 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: five hour sleep guy. So you say, well, that's not 166 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: that big a deal. You're only getting a little bit less. 167 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: But apparently anything under four problematic, right, I'm on vapors. 168 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: I am on absolute vapors by that point. And so 169 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: what ended up happening is last Friday, after I recorded 170 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: the podcast early Friday morning, I then send it to Danny, 171 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: who is the producer of the podcast as well as 172 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: my right hand man, and then Danny futses around with 173 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: it and makes it sound pretty and makes it sound 174 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: like I know what I'm doing, and then we put 175 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: that up and then that's it. I'm done for the day, 176 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: and so I go And this day I was like, 177 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 1: I want to kind of relax and meditate, so I'm 178 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: gonna go the bathtub. So I went to the bathtub, 179 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: the Mallard tub. I took about a twenty five minute 180 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: bath with that bubble soap. Everyone was great, loved it. 181 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: My right hand was getting a workout. Don't do that 182 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 1: very often. Don't do it very often. And I just 183 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: needed to decompress from the week, and my mind was 184 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,719 Speaker 1: spinning and all that. You know what it's like, right, 185 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: We've all been there, whether you have a job like 186 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: mine or you have a different job, but we've all 187 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: got stresses in our lives. So I took a sleeping 188 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: pill the only way I will get more than four 189 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: hours sleeping. Now keep in mind, I probably didn't need 190 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 1: one because I was so tired from what had happened 191 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: the last couple of days. But I was like, listen, 192 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: I want to make sure I get a deep sleep, 193 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: and so I'm going to take this this Kirkland brand 194 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: sleep aid. So I did, and I went to bed 195 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: way after the sun came up, and I woke up, 196 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: and I wonder if you've ever had this happen. It's 197 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: happened to me a few times, especially doing overnights, and 198 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: chances are you probably do work overnight. Most of the 199 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: people that listen work overnight, although we have people that 200 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: graduated that are in good spirits because they work the 201 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: dread to day shift. But you go to bed after 202 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: the sun comes up, and you wake up discombobulated, you 203 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like you you're so zonked out, 204 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: and then you wake up, and you know there's a 205 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: normal period of time when you wake up you just 206 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: kind of gotta get going. I'm typically get out of 207 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: the bed quick, guy, get it over with guy. That's 208 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: me because once I'm up, I'm up, I don't I 209 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: don't go back to sleep. I don't. Once in a 210 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: blue moon, I'll go back to sleep, and I don't 211 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,599 Speaker 1: sleep with a sound sleep. So I'm wake up and 212 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: I'm discombobulated as groggy feeling. It's kind of like the 213 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: Twilight Zone. It's like the Twilight Zone. I'm not really 214 00:12:53,679 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: sure if I'm alive, if somehow I'm dead and I'm 215 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: I'm in a parallel dimension. I mean, I'm not exactly sure. 216 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm in the outskirts of reality picture if you 217 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: will a world, or you wake up and you're not 218 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: sure what time it is or where you are exactly. 219 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: You're confused, and I'm thinking, does anyone have a watch? Well, 220 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: who uses watches? I have a watch. I have an 221 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: Apple Watch. I don't have a Walker Bueller one hundred 222 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: thousand dollar watch. But I ended up grabbing my phone 223 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: and eventually I realized that I had slept through almost 224 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: all of the daylight hours. My alarm clock went off, 225 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: and I kept sleeping. I was not tired, and I 226 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: awoke with about thirty minutes of sunlight and the sun 227 00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: was starting to go down. It was starting to go down. 228 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: So it's that bizarro world situation. You're like, oh man, 229 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: I am literally living in the darkness, right. You're traveling 230 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound, 231 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: but of mind, a journey into a wondrous land whose 232 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: boundaries are that of imagination. The sign posts up ahead 233 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: your next stop the twilight Zone. 234 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 2: Do do do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do 235 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 2: Do Do Do Do Do do do do do doo. 236 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: So I was like, who goofed? I've got to know? 237 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: And then I'm like, this is I mean, I didn't 238 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: plan on sleeping that long. I mean I only get 239 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: like a day and a half off. I want to 240 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: enjoy my time, and I got the podcast to do 241 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: still over the weedend anyway, so I woke up, me 242 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: and the wife. We quickly drove to my favorite taco 243 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: place now my I love Tacos delrado is what it's 244 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: called tacos dorato, which is crunchy tacos. I used to 245 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: go to Tito's Tacos in La Here. I love Tito's Tacos. 246 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: I was a loyal Tito's Tacos customer for over twenty years, 247 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: and I will not go back because I say I 248 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: will not go back unless somebody drags me there because 249 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: it's too expensive. It's ridiculous. The same thing that I 250 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: got for like two dollars or a dollar fifty is 251 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: now like six dollars. It's insane. It's a tourist trap. 252 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: Don't do it. So I found I did a little 253 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: intel opposition research and I went down some taco deep 254 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: state rabbitos. There's like a whole deep state network of 255 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: taco shops. So I was on a rampage. I'm like, 256 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: I got to find a new taco shop, and I did, 257 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: and I went there on the day that I slept 258 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: all day. They have three dollars crunchy tacos. Now, there 259 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: is a catch. The catch is it's on the wrong 260 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: side of the tracks. If you will, okay, it's not 261 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: the greatest neighborhood. As long as you are there during 262 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: the day, you're fine. However, I had woken up. There's 263 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: only thirty minutes a daylight. It's more than a thirty 264 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: minute drive with traffic. You don't want to be there 265 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: after dark because there's a lot of you know, thugs 266 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: and losers and criminals or whatever. They'll kick you in 267 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: the teeth so who wants it? But I made the sacrifice. 268 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: I risked my life for crunchy tacos. I did, and 269 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: I dragged my wife with me. We went there and 270 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: nothing happened. Nothing happened. We got there just as the 271 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: sun sun was setting, and I got my tacos Dorado's 272 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: and a plate of chips, and was smiling from ear 273 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: to ear. I the spice of life, enjoying life, and 274 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: just wonderful. App solutely wonderful. So that's how I spent 275 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: last Friday. And then I watched Benny Versus the Penny, 276 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: and then I watched some of the nonsense going on 277 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: in college football. Were a couple of games, as I remember, 278 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: on Friday. The baseball playoffs did not start until Saturday 279 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: last week, so there was no baseball on Friday. Now 280 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: turning the page, Mayor Aura, A couple of you sent 281 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,439 Speaker 1: me this and we didn't talk about it on the 282 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: Overnight Show, the original Recipe Overnight Show. So I thought, well, 283 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: it's a fifth hour podcast, and I saw it. I 284 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: didn't mention it. That's a third rail all my own. 285 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 1: That's the third rail. What are you doing? It's kind 286 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: of a political storyvice not a political story. But it is, 287 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 1: but it's not because it's kind of a goofy story. 288 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: So beast mode marsha On Lynch. You know who that is, right, 289 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: the old NFL player, Marshawn Lynch. I'm ay doon't get fined. 290 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 1: So he showed up to the Super Bowl media day 291 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: and said all the ridiculous stuff that he said. He's 292 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: a bit of a space cadet and so he played 293 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: in the NFL for a long time, a bunch of 294 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: teams known as the Seattle Sehawk. And he has now 295 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: hinted and you have sent me the story. I didn't 296 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: see that you sent it to me. He's on the 297 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: political blogs the blogosphere that Marshawn Lynch is thinking about 298 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: running for political office. He is considering becoming the mayor 299 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: of Oakland. Say what huh? What kind of back room 300 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: politics is this going to be? Yeah? He said on 301 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: his Pledgling podcast that he co hosted a co host 302 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 1: with the agent that he has and the worst governor 303 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 1: in America, the incompetent Gavin Newsom. So he's on that 304 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: with him, and he said it might be a possibility. 305 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,360 Speaker 1: Now might is a weasel word. I might make ten 306 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: million dollars this year. I'm not, but I might so. 307 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: According to this, Marshawn Lynch is considering it, and he 308 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: was being encouraged by the two hacks that he does 309 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: his podcast with to do it. You might remember Marshawn 310 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: when he was a cow golden Bear. He was spinning 311 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: in the golf cart around, driving around the field and 312 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: all that. And anyway, apparently, and I don't follow Oakland politics, 313 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: but if you're an Oaklander, you know that the mayor 314 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: of that city is in the middle of a scandal 315 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 1: right up to their chinny chin chin and the city 316 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: is a great example of how you let criminals take 317 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: over your town. It's so bad. How bad is it? 318 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 1: As I understand it, the FBI raided the mayor's home, 319 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 1: and there was an intervention of state law enforcement and 320 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: a bunch of political muckety MUCKs that were sent by 321 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: the state of California. You imagine if the State of 322 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: California that doesn't care about criminals anywhere, they'll just allow 323 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 1: you to steal whatever you want, as long as under 324 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: one thousand dollars, tack whatever you want. Oakland has has 325 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: lost all their pro sports. The A's are now gone, 326 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: and so the mayor is likely going to be kicked 327 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: out right, and that's it. See you later. There's gonna 328 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: be an opening for the mayor and Marshawn's flirting, he said. 329 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: He said it would be like that Chris Rock directed 330 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: movie Head of State, the late Bernie Mack bought. Bernie 331 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: was a funny man. Bernie Mack died way too soon, 332 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: but Bernie Mack was in there, and Marshawn said it 333 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 1: would be like that. He'd be slapping the shit out 334 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: of everybody and all that. Now, a couple of things, 335 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,959 Speaker 1: all right, The question is what do you make of 336 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch running for the mayor's office in Oakland? So 337 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: I got the big P and spending golly, and we'll 338 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we're gonna make 339 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: a cushy number number on all right. So, first thing, a, 340 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch is not actually going to run for political office. 341 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: Let's get that out of the way, okay. And just 342 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: because he's trying to get that the capital P P 343 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: word publicity, it's a publicity stunt for his fledging the podcast. 344 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: I believe that to be true. I see no evidence 345 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: at all that Marshawn is going to run for office. Now, 346 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: there are a couple of reasons for that. The first 347 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: one is he's rich, and typically if you're rich, the 348 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: only reason you run for office is if you are 349 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: you're an attention wore. Marshan doesn't seem like that kind 350 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: of guy. I know that fame and celebrity and cloud 351 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: are contagious things. They're highly contagious, and it is a 352 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: communicable disease if you will spreading rapidly around society because 353 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 1: social media that said, I don't buy it. I don't 354 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: buy it. He's also got a fair amount of baggage, 355 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: not that that would stop you in twenty twenty four 356 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: to run or twenty twenty five for political office. And 357 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: then and b Marshawan, here's the catch twenty two because 358 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna run. I think this is 359 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: just he's just talking out of his tooks. Is badonka 360 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: dounk and all that. But the other part of it 361 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: is if he were serious, and again I do not 362 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: think he is serious. I think this is just a 363 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: sideshow attraction. Hey put my name out there, and it 364 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: looks like based on what you guys have sent me 365 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 1: that the bloggisphere the political world is like, oh, man 366 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: Marshan could enter this and man a lah. Now if 367 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: he does actually enter, he would win. He would absolutely 368 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: become the mayor of Oakland. He would he two reasons. 369 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: He would run as a Democrat in a state that 370 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: is a one party state, and he's famous and that 371 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: whole celebrity thing. Marshawn, in a very odd way, has 372 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 1: this spngali effect. At least he did as a player. 373 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 1: Now I don't listen to his podcast. I have no 374 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 1: interest in hearing his podcast. I want nothing to do anything. 375 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom is a part of I want nothing to 376 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: do it. So I will not listen to that at all. 377 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: But he would win, Marshawn would win and all that. 378 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. Foody fun, reay for food, 379 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: he fun, hooray for food he Fun. I know that's 380 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: the song that our guy, our guy in Fullerton, Bergdog loves. 381 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 1: He actually listens to that fun fact Bergdog listens to 382 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: that when he's with his personal trainer and he does 383 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: jumping Jack's while eating donut holes. Wow, it's really cool. 384 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: Not as cool as when Alf the alien Opiner jumps 385 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: rope with cats. He uses cats as the jump rope. 386 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: That's even more impressive. But these guys are talented. I'm 387 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: telling you the p ones, and they know what they're doing. 388 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: So Fruity Fun Pizza Hut has launched a new item, 389 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: boneless big boneless wings. It's a bundle of big bonus wings. Now, 390 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: boneless wings are not wings, but I would prefer them. 391 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: Here's what you get.

What are you doing? Going banans? Well, 449 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: this is actually an interesting one as opposed to the 450 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: ones that aren't interesting. I thought this was kind of cool. 451 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: And this was sent in by I think listener is it? 452 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 1: Fred starts with an F in Texas said this he 453 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: wanted to know he's too lazy and wanted to know 454 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: about bananas. Go bananas, Go bananas is a superstition that 455 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: goes back to the shipping world of the seventeen hundreds, 456 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: the Caribbean shipping lines, and the superstition is that bananas 457 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: are bad luck on boats, and it goes all the 458 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: way back to the seventeen hundreds. There's a lot of 459 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: theories as to why bananas are considered bad juju, but 460 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:15,239 Speaker 1: according to popular opinion, it's because bananas spoil quickly, and 461 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: on those merchant ships in the Caribbean, they had to 462 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: sail very fast to get to the port, because if 463 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: they didn't make it in time, the bananas would be 464 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: bad and it's a problem. And that made it difficult 465 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: for fishermen to catch fish because they were so worried 466 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: about the bananas. Bananas also caused I didn't know this, 467 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: but they caused other fruits to spoil. There's some kind 468 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: of gas that bananas release that causes other fruits to 469 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: ripen faster. Who knew, Yeah, who knew? Now? In that 470 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: same vein bananas also the superstition they were found on shipwrecks, 471 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: and so the theory. People weren't very bright back then, 472 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: and the theory was that they'd come across a shipwreck 473 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: and they always find bananas floating. Cases of banana would 474 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: be floating on top of the water. And the maritime 475 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: sailors of that seventeen hundreds blamed the bananas for the 476 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: boat sinking. Put two and two together, Well, we found bananas, 477 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: they're floating, the ship is not toda. Also, bananas would 478 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: provide other venomous animals or little critters on the ship. 479 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: Spiders and snakes would hide in the cases of bananas, 480 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: and so they would transport venomous spiders and snakes would 481 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: hide in the boxes of bananas, and then while the 482 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: ship was sailing, or they were eating or they were 483 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: trying to sleep, they'd have these venomous spiders and snakes 484 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: crawling around the boat. And they were taking them to 485 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: other parts of the world, and even to this day. 486 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: And if you're in the boating world, let me know. 487 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: But some boaters still avoid bringing bananas on board, even 488 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: have signs posted to say, hey, you probably shouldn't do that, 489 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: probably shouldn't put bananas, and we don't want your vananza. 490 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: All right, we'll get out on that. Have a wonderful, 491 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: wonderful weekend, wonderful Friday. Today, I'll be watching that Dodger 492 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 1: Padre game.
