Speaker 1: Kubbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: It's a clearinghouse of hot takes. Break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: It the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with me Ben
Speaker 1: Mahler and Danny G Radio hanging out with you all
Speaker 1: weekend as we talk in circles. It's a podcast. It's
Speaker 1: so simple. This is not the original recipe Ben Mahler
Speaker 1: show that you hear overnight. No, no, no, this is
Speaker 1: the Extra Crispy, Extra Spicy Fifth Hour Podcast. As we
Speaker 1: are here every Friday, Saturday and Sunday to provide you
Speaker 1: with weekend entertainment in the audio Sweatshop. Now, Danny G
Speaker 1: is not with me yet again here on Friday. He'll
Speaker 1: be back for these Saturday and Sunday podcasts as we
Speaker 1: attempt to kick butt. Now, normally we have a certain routine.
Speaker 1: If you've listened to this podcast, you know that We
Speaker 1: typically start out by looking at some dopey holidays that
Speaker 1: are taking place. Now we've been doing this for many,
Speaker 1: many months, and today would be the worst day that
Speaker 1: I can remember for cheeseball holidays. I was trying, I
Speaker 1: was just trying to find something that seemed fun, something
Speaker 1: that seemed interesting, and there's just nothing there. Like the
Speaker 1: one that stood out is National Sausage Pizza Day. Does
Speaker 1: sausage pizza need its own day? Isn't there just a
Speaker 1: there's a pizza Day and that should be fine, but
Speaker 1: there's a sausage Pizza Day, and then there's like a
Speaker 1: bunch of other stuff just aren't any good that are
Speaker 1: just kind of dumb. So bad day for holidays. But
Speaker 1: the show must go on. The show must go on
Speaker 1: for us peasants, the common man, the hoi POLOI, the
Speaker 1: rank and file. Everyone to say it. And on this podcast,
Speaker 1: the Friday edition, the eleventh of October, we've got does
Speaker 1: anyone have a watch? Mayor Aura? Foody fun and the
Speaker 1: phrase of the week. The phrase of the week, But
Speaker 1: as always we start with the shameless promotion for the
Speaker 1: number one TV show that you're gonna watch this weekend,
Speaker 1: and it still amazes me that my name is on it.
Speaker 1: It is Benny versus the Penny, and I am a
Speaker 1: proud papa, if you will. Many of you have taken
Speaker 1: time out and sent me photographs of you watching the
Speaker 1: show and not only watching it at home, and those
Speaker 1: are great. Those are wonderful. Are our friend in the
Speaker 1: Minneapolis area, she's got a nice cabin, just just awesome,
Speaker 1: and some of the other photos. But people have been
Speaker 1: sending me photos from restaurants, which is awesome. One guy
Speaker 1: in New Hampshire was at a sports bar, which I
Speaker 1: didn't even know they had sports bars in New Hampshire.
Speaker 1: It's not very big. I know they have a nice
Speaker 1: little Portsmouth is a nice little tourist town, but I
Speaker 1: haven't really sport New Hampshire too much. But anyway, the
Speaker 1: guy sent me a photo at some sports bars said yeah,
Speaker 1: they have it on there. You're on the tv there
Speaker 1: in the sports bar. I said, well, that's pretty cool,
Speaker 1: so thank you for that. My email, you neither send
Speaker 1: it to benmalorshow at gmail dot com or the Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour podcast email. We have our own email, which is
Speaker 1: probably better that way because that's what I use for
Speaker 1: the podcast when I'm getting ready for the podcast. I
Speaker 1: normally go going through the email and it's kind of
Speaker 1: my routine. So if you want to send something in
Speaker 1: real fifth hour at gmail dot com and it is
Speaker 1: available starting today all over the place. Benny Versus the Penny,
Speaker 1: the first episode of Benny Versus the Penny will air
Speaker 1: at six pm today Boston, NBC Sports Boston, right after
Speaker 1: the simulcast of Felger and Maz It ends at six
Speaker 1: and then our show begins handicapping as I analyze all
Speaker 1: the big games and we go head to head against
Speaker 1: the Penny. Now, I have not seen the episode this
Speaker 1: weekend's episode. We were doing it yesterday at Universal Studios.
Speaker 1: We were taping it and it was a fun, fun
Speaker 1: show to tape. I'm not sure what the final product
Speaker 1: is going to be. I'm hoping there is a Looney
Speaker 1: blooper that made the show. There was a debate in
Speaker 1: the control room among the the boys that work on
Speaker 1: the show. Vinnie and John I think was part of that,
Speaker 1: and a couple of the other big guys there that
Speaker 1: are involved in trying to put together and then we
Speaker 1: do a couple of takes and then normally we try
Speaker 1: to just do one take but typically we end up
Speaker 1: having to do a couple and so we don't know
Speaker 1: what you don't know, so we'll find out. I will
Speaker 1: find out with you. And on NBC Sports Boston, the
Speaker 1: show will air a bunch. Not only is it air
Speaker 1: at six o'clock, but also at eight thirty. There's another
Speaker 1: showing at nine to thirty. So three showings of Benny
Speaker 1: Versus the Penny in Boston tonight, and that's the flagship
Speaker 1: of the show because it's produced out of NBC Sports Boston,
Speaker 1: but it is also on in many many other locations,
Speaker 1: some I don't even know about. It's on in Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: Home of the Fight in Phills. That'll be at six
Speaker 1: point thirty if you're in Philly on NBC Sports Philadelphia
Speaker 1: six thirty tonight, right after Birds Huddle with Barrett Brooks
Speaker 1: and Birds Huddle. I think I know what that's about
Speaker 1: being in Philadelphia. But anyway, that's available Benny Versus the
Speaker 1: Penny six thirty in Philadelphia. Check your local TV listings
Speaker 1: for the time in your area. And if you don't
Speaker 1: have an NBC Sports regional cable channel or affiliate near you,
Speaker 1: I know we're on in La on the Laker station,
Speaker 1: for example, which is partnered with NBC but not a
Speaker 1: technical NBC station, not run not operated by NBC, so
Speaker 1: there is that. And also on Peacock streaming nationally, you
Speaker 1: can always get your hands on Benny versus the Penny
Speaker 1: every single moment, all weekend long, starting later today. It
Speaker 1: might not be up right now if you're listening early.
Speaker 1: This podcast goes up relatively early in the day. I'm
Speaker 1: not even really sure exactly when the podcast or the
Speaker 1: TV show rather goes on Peacock, but it's available once
Speaker 1: it goes up, usually late afternoon, sometimes early evening on Friday,
Speaker 1: which is today, and then it'll be all Saturday and
Speaker 1: then you can watch it. And I don't think old
Speaker 1: episodes are available, so you really have to watch it
Speaker 1: when the newest episode is available. So with that as
Speaker 1: the backdrop, let's go back to last Friday. You might
Speaker 1: remember I was still recovering from a tongue injury. This
Speaker 1: job is not that easy. I had bitten my tongue,
Speaker 1: which is not as bad as burning your tongue, but
Speaker 1: in the same family. So I'd bitten my tongue the
Speaker 1: left side of my tongue, and it was causing me
Speaker 1: a whole lot of problems. I was able to do
Speaker 1: the show, but it was very uncomfortable. It wasn't fun.
Speaker 1: It's still not all the way back to where it
Speaker 1: needs to be because I'm still talking a lot, and
Speaker 1: so it's getting better. I'm almost where I want to be,
Speaker 1: but still off a little bit little whacky, a little bit,
Speaker 1: a little bit of whacking. And it's going on. But
Speaker 1: my schedule, I have first world problems. My schedule is
Speaker 1: one where I'm very very busy for several days during
Speaker 1: the week. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are not not good
Speaker 1: good days. Now they are good days because I love
Speaker 1: what I do and I like my job, and so
Speaker 1: it's fun. But I am burning the midnight oil and
Speaker 1: then some. And I'm not doing it at lavish parties,
Speaker 1: these extravagant upscale shin digs. No, I'm not doing it
Speaker 1: at private meetings. I am doing it with my face
Speaker 1: either buried into a microphone or buried into my laptop
Speaker 1: as I try to put together the handicapping for the
Speaker 1: weekend's NFL games. And so that's my routine, and it's
Speaker 1: the malor O rama. And really it starts on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: you know, I wait for the Monday game day. And
Speaker 1: that's something new that I did last year. I'd start
Speaker 1: doing it on Monday, and I was like, I need
Speaker 1: to get the final numbers. So I wait till the
Speaker 1: Monday night games are over, and then I see whether
Speaker 1: or not my picks collapsed or not, and which games
Speaker 1: laid an egg and where I whiffed and all that,
Speaker 1: and then try to figure it out. But I typically
Speaker 1: wait till Tuesday. Right after the show on Tuesday morning,
Speaker 1: I go right to it and I spend a good
Speaker 1: amount of time handicapping on Tuesday. And then Wednesday's the
Speaker 1: big big day. You start getting injury reports, which is
Speaker 1: a big part of this. Who's playing, who's not playing,
Speaker 1: and so that's that's a big part of it. But
Speaker 1: I'm up a lot. I don't get a lot of sleep.
Speaker 1: And then Thursday we do the show and we record
Speaker 1: the TV show and then I've got to deal with
Speaker 1: rush hour traffic from Universal Studio, and I have to
Speaker 1: get ready for the other show, the radio show, the
Speaker 1: live show, and so I end up getting maybe two
Speaker 1: to three hours maybe. Now usually I'm a four to
Speaker 1: five hour sleep guy. So you say, well, that's not
Speaker 1: that big a deal. You're only getting a little bit less.
Speaker 1: But apparently anything under four problematic, right, I'm on vapors.
Speaker 1: I am on absolute vapors by that point. And so
Speaker 1: what ended up happening is last Friday, after I recorded
Speaker 1: the podcast early Friday morning, I then send it to Danny,
Speaker 1: who is the producer of the podcast as well as
Speaker 1: my right hand man, and then Danny futses around with
Speaker 1: it and makes it sound pretty and makes it sound
Speaker 1: like I know what I'm doing, and then we put
Speaker 1: that up and then that's it. I'm done for the day,
Speaker 1: and so I go And this day I was like,
Speaker 1: I want to kind of relax and meditate, so I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go the bathtub. So I went to the bathtub,
Speaker 1: the Mallard tub. I took about a twenty five minute
Speaker 1: bath with that bubble soap. Everyone was great, loved it.
Speaker 1: My right hand was getting a workout. Don't do that
Speaker 1: very often. Don't do it very often. And I just
Speaker 1: needed to decompress from the week, and my mind was
Speaker 1: spinning and all that. You know what it's like, right,
Speaker 1: We've all been there, whether you have a job like
Speaker 1: mine or you have a different job, but we've all
Speaker 1: got stresses in our lives. So I took a sleeping
Speaker 1: pill the only way I will get more than four
Speaker 1: hours sleeping. Now keep in mind, I probably didn't need
Speaker 1: one because I was so tired from what had happened
Speaker 1: the last couple of days. But I was like, listen,
Speaker 1: I want to make sure I get a deep sleep,
Speaker 1: and so I'm going to take this this Kirkland brand
Speaker 1: sleep aid. So I did, and I went to bed
Speaker 1: way after the sun came up, and I woke up,
Speaker 1: and I wonder if you've ever had this happen. It's
Speaker 1: happened to me a few times, especially doing overnights, and
Speaker 1: chances are you probably do work overnight. Most of the
Speaker 1: people that listen work overnight, although we have people that
Speaker 1: graduated that are in good spirits because they work the
Speaker 1: dread to day shift. But you go to bed after
Speaker 1: the sun comes up, and you wake up discombobulated, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like you you're so zonked out,
Speaker 1: and then you wake up, and you know there's a
Speaker 1: normal period of time when you wake up you just
Speaker 1: kind of gotta get going. I'm typically get out of
Speaker 1: the bed quick, guy, get it over with guy. That's
Speaker 1: me because once I'm up, I'm up, I don't I
Speaker 1: don't go back to sleep. I don't. Once in a
Speaker 1: blue moon, I'll go back to sleep, and I don't
Speaker 1: sleep with a sound sleep. So I'm wake up and
Speaker 1: I'm discombobulated as groggy feeling. It's kind of like the
Speaker 1: Twilight Zone. It's like the Twilight Zone. I'm not really
Speaker 1: sure if I'm alive, if somehow I'm dead and I'm
Speaker 1: I'm in a parallel dimension. I mean, I'm not exactly sure.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm in the outskirts of reality picture if you
Speaker 1: will a world, or you wake up and you're not
Speaker 1: sure what time it is or where you are exactly.
Speaker 1: You're confused, and I'm thinking, does anyone have a watch? Well,
Speaker 1: who uses watches? I have a watch. I have an
Speaker 1: Apple Watch. I don't have a Walker Bueller one hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollar watch. But I ended up grabbing my phone
Speaker 1: and eventually I realized that I had slept through almost
Speaker 1: all of the daylight hours. My alarm clock went off,
Speaker 1: and I kept sleeping. I was not tired, and I
Speaker 1: awoke with about thirty minutes of sunlight and the sun
Speaker 1: was starting to go down. It was starting to go down.
Speaker 1: So it's that bizarro world situation. You're like, oh man,
Speaker 1: I am literally living in the darkness, right. You're traveling
Speaker 1: through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound,
Speaker 1: but of mind, a journey into a wondrous land whose
Speaker 1: boundaries are that of imagination. The sign posts up ahead
Speaker 1: your next stop the twilight Zone.
Speaker 2: Do do do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do
Speaker 2: Do Do Do Do Do do do do do doo.
Speaker 1: So I was like, who goofed? I've got to know?
Speaker 1: And then I'm like, this is I mean, I didn't
Speaker 1: plan on sleeping that long. I mean I only get
Speaker 1: like a day and a half off. I want to
Speaker 1: enjoy my time, and I got the podcast to do
Speaker 1: still over the weedend anyway, so I woke up, me
Speaker 1: and the wife. We quickly drove to my favorite taco
Speaker 1: place now my I love Tacos delrado is what it's
Speaker 1: called tacos dorato, which is crunchy tacos. I used to
Speaker 1: go to Tito's Tacos in La Here. I love Tito's Tacos.
Speaker 1: I was a loyal Tito's Tacos customer for over twenty years,
Speaker 1: and I will not go back because I say I
Speaker 1: will not go back unless somebody drags me there because
Speaker 1: it's too expensive. It's ridiculous. The same thing that I
Speaker 1: got for like two dollars or a dollar fifty is
Speaker 1: now like six dollars. It's insane. It's a tourist trap.
Speaker 1: Don't do it. So I found I did a little
Speaker 1: intel opposition research and I went down some taco deep
Speaker 1: state rabbitos. There's like a whole deep state network of
Speaker 1: taco shops. So I was on a rampage. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I got to find a new taco shop, and I did,
Speaker 1: and I went there on the day that I slept
Speaker 1: all day. They have three dollars crunchy tacos. Now, there
Speaker 1: is a catch. The catch is it's on the wrong
Speaker 1: side of the tracks. If you will, okay, it's not
Speaker 1: the greatest neighborhood. As long as you are there during
Speaker 1: the day, you're fine. However, I had woken up. There's
Speaker 1: only thirty minutes a daylight. It's more than a thirty
Speaker 1: minute drive with traffic. You don't want to be there
Speaker 1: after dark because there's a lot of you know, thugs
Speaker 1: and losers and criminals or whatever. They'll kick you in
Speaker 1: the teeth so who wants it? But I made the sacrifice.
Speaker 1: I risked my life for crunchy tacos. I did, and
Speaker 1: I dragged my wife with me. We went there and
Speaker 1: nothing happened. Nothing happened. We got there just as the
Speaker 1: sun sun was setting, and I got my tacos Dorado's
Speaker 1: and a plate of chips, and was smiling from ear
Speaker 1: to ear. I the spice of life, enjoying life, and
Speaker 1: just wonderful. App solutely wonderful. So that's how I spent
Speaker 1: last Friday. And then I watched Benny Versus the Penny,
Speaker 1: and then I watched some of the nonsense going on
Speaker 1: in college football. Were a couple of games, as I remember,
Speaker 1: on Friday. The baseball playoffs did not start until Saturday
Speaker 1: last week, so there was no baseball on Friday. Now
Speaker 1: turning the page, Mayor Aura, A couple of you sent
Speaker 1: me this and we didn't talk about it on the
Speaker 1: Overnight Show, the original Recipe Overnight Show. So I thought, well,
Speaker 1: it's a fifth hour podcast, and I saw it. I
Speaker 1: didn't mention it. That's a third rail all my own.
Speaker 1: That's the third rail. What are you doing? It's kind
Speaker 1: of a political storyvice not a political story. But it is,
Speaker 1: but it's not because it's kind of a goofy story.
Speaker 1: So beast mode marsha On Lynch. You know who that is, right,
Speaker 1: the old NFL player, Marshawn Lynch. I'm ay doon't get fined.
Speaker 1: So he showed up to the Super Bowl media day
Speaker 1: and said all the ridiculous stuff that he said. He's
Speaker 1: a bit of a space cadet and so he played
Speaker 1: in the NFL for a long time, a bunch of
Speaker 1: teams known as the Seattle Sehawk. And he has now
Speaker 1: hinted and you have sent me the story. I didn't
Speaker 1: see that you sent it to me. He's on the
Speaker 1: political blogs the blogosphere that Marshawn Lynch is thinking about
Speaker 1: running for political office. He is considering becoming the mayor
Speaker 1: of Oakland. Say what huh? What kind of back room
Speaker 1: politics is this going to be? Yeah? He said on
Speaker 1: his Pledgling podcast that he co hosted a co host
Speaker 1: with the agent that he has and the worst governor
Speaker 1: in America, the incompetent Gavin Newsom. So he's on that
Speaker 1: with him, and he said it might be a possibility.
Speaker 1: Now might is a weasel word. I might make ten
Speaker 1: million dollars this year. I'm not, but I might so.
Speaker 1: According to this, Marshawn Lynch is considering it, and he
Speaker 1: was being encouraged by the two hacks that he does
Speaker 1: his podcast with to do it. You might remember Marshawn
Speaker 1: when he was a cow golden Bear. He was spinning
Speaker 1: in the golf cart around, driving around the field and
Speaker 1: all that. And anyway, apparently, and I don't follow Oakland politics,
Speaker 1: but if you're an Oaklander, you know that the mayor
Speaker 1: of that city is in the middle of a scandal
Speaker 1: right up to their chinny chin chin and the city
Speaker 1: is a great example of how you let criminals take
Speaker 1: over your town. It's so bad. How bad is it?
Speaker 1: As I understand it, the FBI raided the mayor's home,
Speaker 1: and there was an intervention of state law enforcement and
Speaker 1: a bunch of political muckety MUCKs that were sent by
Speaker 1: the state of California. You imagine if the State of
Speaker 1: California that doesn't care about criminals anywhere, they'll just allow
Speaker 1: you to steal whatever you want, as long as under
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars, tack whatever you want. Oakland has has
Speaker 1: lost all their pro sports. The A's are now gone,
Speaker 1: and so the mayor is likely going to be kicked
Speaker 1: out right, and that's it. See you later. There's gonna
Speaker 1: be an opening for the mayor and Marshawn's flirting, he said.
Speaker 1: He said it would be like that Chris Rock directed
Speaker 1: movie Head of State, the late Bernie Mack bought. Bernie
Speaker 1: was a funny man. Bernie Mack died way too soon,
Speaker 1: but Bernie Mack was in there, and Marshawn said it
Speaker 1: would be like that. He'd be slapping the shit out
Speaker 1: of everybody and all that. Now, a couple of things,
Speaker 1: all right, The question is what do you make of
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch running for the mayor's office in Oakland? So
Speaker 1: I got the big P and spending golly, and we'll
Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we're gonna make
Speaker 1: a cushy number number on all right. So, first thing, a,
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch is not actually going to run for political office.
Speaker 1: Let's get that out of the way, okay. And just
Speaker 1: because he's trying to get that the capital P P
Speaker 1: word publicity, it's a publicity stunt for his fledging the podcast.
Speaker 1: I believe that to be true. I see no evidence
Speaker 1: at all that Marshawn is going to run for office. Now,
Speaker 1: there are a couple of reasons for that. The first
Speaker 1: one is he's rich, and typically if you're rich, the
Speaker 1: only reason you run for office is if you are
Speaker 1: you're an attention wore. Marshan doesn't seem like that kind
Speaker 1: of guy. I know that fame and celebrity and cloud
Speaker 1: are contagious things. They're highly contagious, and it is a
Speaker 1: communicable disease if you will spreading rapidly around society because
Speaker 1: social media that said, I don't buy it. I don't
Speaker 1: buy it. He's also got a fair amount of baggage,
Speaker 1: not that that would stop you in twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: to run or twenty twenty five for political office. And
Speaker 1: then and b Marshawan, here's the catch twenty two because
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna run. I think this is
Speaker 1: just he's just talking out of his tooks. Is badonka
Speaker 1: dounk and all that. But the other part of it
Speaker 1: is if he were serious, and again I do not
Speaker 1: think he is serious. I think this is just a
Speaker 1: sideshow attraction. Hey put my name out there, and it
Speaker 1: looks like based on what you guys have sent me
Speaker 1: that the bloggisphere the political world is like, oh, man
Speaker 1: Marshan could enter this and man a lah. Now if
Speaker 1: he does actually enter, he would win. He would absolutely
Speaker 1: become the mayor of Oakland. He would he two reasons.
Speaker 1: He would run as a Democrat in a state that
Speaker 1: is a one party state, and he's famous and that
Speaker 1: whole celebrity thing. Marshawn, in a very odd way, has
Speaker 1: this spngali effect. At least he did as a player.
Speaker 1: Now I don't listen to his podcast. I have no
Speaker 1: interest in hearing his podcast. I want nothing to do anything.
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom is a part of I want nothing to
Speaker 1: do it. So I will not listen to that at all.
Speaker 1: But he would win, Marshawn would win and all that.
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. Foody fun, reay for food,
Speaker 1: he fun, hooray for food he Fun. I know that's
Speaker 1: the song that our guy, our guy in Fullerton, Bergdog loves.
Speaker 1: He actually listens to that fun fact Bergdog listens to
Speaker 1: that when he's with his personal trainer and he does
Speaker 1: jumping Jack's while eating donut holes. Wow, it's really cool.
Speaker 1: Not as cool as when Alf the alien Opiner jumps
Speaker 1: rope with cats. He uses cats as the jump rope.
Speaker 1: That's even more impressive. But these guys are talented. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you the p ones, and they know what they're doing.
Speaker 1: So Fruity Fun Pizza Hut has launched a new item,
Speaker 1: boneless big boneless wings. It's a bundle of big bonus wings. Now,
Speaker 1: boneless wings are not wings, but I would prefer them.
Speaker 1: Here's what you get. Each big boneless wing includes sixteen
Speaker 1: They include sixteen, but each of them has let's see
Speaker 1: what you get here. Bonus wings. Susists of one hundred
Speaker 1: percent all white meat chicken boneus wings, breaded and fried,
Speaker 1: golden brown and crisp. So prices may vary, but fifteen
Speaker 1: ninety nine of these giant chunks of chicken. They look
Speaker 1: they look good. I don't know that that's worth the
Speaker 1: sixteen ninety n but it's like a dollar a piece
Speaker 1: of chickens, so I guess that's in modern times, that's
Speaker 1: not outrageous. These are available participating pizza at restaurants Krispy
Speaker 1: Kreme offering free original glazed donuts to anyone including you
Speaker 1: and I who can present a McDonald's receipt dated between
Speaker 1: the yesterday, the tenth, and then the fourteenth, so today's
Speaker 1: the eleven, so till Monday. So if you want a
Speaker 1: free glazed donut and you're already going to McDonald's, do
Speaker 1: you have to buy something from Krispy Kream? I don't
Speaker 1: see the fine print here. You might have to buy something,
Speaker 1: but otherwise just show up say I want my donut,
Speaker 1: and they get very pissed when you only get one donut.
Speaker 1: They assume you're going to buy something else, a cup
Speaker 1: of coffee or something else. So if you go own
Speaker 1: to Krispy Kreme and you just get one donut and
Speaker 1: it's free, that's not the point of the bit. That's
Speaker 1: not the point Popeyes. Popeyes has introduced a new ghost
Speaker 1: pepper chicken sandwich, which, looking at this appears to be
Speaker 1: the same exact chicken sandwich with a spice on top
Speaker 1: of it. Seven eleven. I have a buddy of mine
Speaker 1: who has a regular job and he loves getting food
Speaker 1: at seven eleven. Yeah, he's like a real man's man,
Speaker 1: drives a truck and he goes in there and loves
Speaker 1: loves the slurpies and all the all the stuff he's
Speaker 1: got there, the hot dogs, all that God must have
Speaker 1: an iron stomach. But seven eleven now welcoming in the
Speaker 1: new everything bagel, breakfast sandwich, chicken and waffle roller, stuffed
Speaker 1: pepperoni pizza, and more part of their fall lineup. They
Speaker 1: all fall lineup at seven eleven. It's like it's like
Speaker 1: a TV channel back in the day, NBC or CBS
Speaker 1: or ABC will be like, here's our fall lineup of
Speaker 1: TV shows. Now it's seven to eleven with a chicken
Speaker 1: and waffles roller. Now, Taco Bell is bringing back the
Speaker 1: double decker tacos that actually started yesterday, so they're back.
Speaker 1: And in Baltimore Shout Out Sports with Coleman, Popeyes is
Speaker 1: testing the new chicken Dippers. I might have to send
Speaker 1: my guy boots on the ground Sports with Coleman to
Speaker 1: a Popeyes to test those out. And Burger King testing
Speaker 1: a new item. Burger King testing a new item in
Speaker 1: New Zealand, a fried apple bites. Now that sounds good
Speaker 1: to me. Fried apple bites a new item there, it
Speaker 1: does look pretty good. I'm not gonna lie. And the
Speaker 1: way this works, remember this international food crap if people
Speaker 1: like it in New Zealand and some of these other
Speaker 1: countries Eventually it works its way here to the ship
Speaker 1: where we live. Unless you're listening outside of America, but
Speaker 1: here in the US, it'll come here because we buy
Speaker 1: more fast food than anyone we love. We love our
Speaker 1: fast food. Time now for the phrase of the word
Speaker 1: in the Phrase of the week today is go bananas.
Speaker 1: You're going bananas? What are you doing? Going banans? Well,
Speaker 1: this is actually an interesting one as opposed to the
Speaker 1: ones that aren't interesting. I thought this was kind of cool.
Speaker 1: And this was sent in by I think listener is it?
Speaker 1: Fred starts with an F in Texas said this he
Speaker 1: wanted to know he's too lazy and wanted to know
Speaker 1: about bananas. Go bananas, Go bananas is a superstition that
Speaker 1: goes back to the shipping world of the seventeen hundreds,
Speaker 1: the Caribbean shipping lines, and the superstition is that bananas
Speaker 1: are bad luck on boats, and it goes all the
Speaker 1: way back to the seventeen hundreds. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: theories as to why bananas are considered bad juju, but
Speaker 1: according to popular opinion, it's because bananas spoil quickly, and
Speaker 1: on those merchant ships in the Caribbean, they had to
Speaker 1: sail very fast to get to the port, because if
Speaker 1: they didn't make it in time, the bananas would be
Speaker 1: bad and it's a problem. And that made it difficult
Speaker 1: for fishermen to catch fish because they were so worried
Speaker 1: about the bananas. Bananas also caused I didn't know this,
Speaker 1: but they caused other fruits to spoil. There's some kind
Speaker 1: of gas that bananas release that causes other fruits to
Speaker 1: ripen faster. Who knew, Yeah, who knew? Now? In that
Speaker 1: same vein bananas also the superstition they were found on shipwrecks,
Speaker 1: and so the theory. People weren't very bright back then,
Speaker 1: and the theory was that they'd come across a shipwreck
Speaker 1: and they always find bananas floating. Cases of banana would
Speaker 1: be floating on top of the water. And the maritime
Speaker 1: sailors of that seventeen hundreds blamed the bananas for the
Speaker 1: boat sinking. Put two and two together, Well, we found bananas,
Speaker 1: they're floating, the ship is not toda. Also, bananas would
Speaker 1: provide other venomous animals or little critters on the ship.
Speaker 1: Spiders and snakes would hide in the cases of bananas,
Speaker 1: and so they would transport venomous spiders and snakes would
Speaker 1: hide in the boxes of bananas, and then while the
Speaker 1: ship was sailing, or they were eating or they were
Speaker 1: trying to sleep, they'd have these venomous spiders and snakes
Speaker 1: crawling around the boat. And they were taking them to
Speaker 1: other parts of the world, and even to this day.
Speaker 1: And if you're in the boating world, let me know.
Speaker 1: But some boaters still avoid bringing bananas on board, even
Speaker 1: have signs posted to say, hey, you probably shouldn't do that,
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't put bananas, and we don't want your vananza.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get out on that. Have a wonderful,
Speaker 1: wonderful weekend, wonderful Friday. Today, I'll be watching that Dodger
Speaker 1: Padre game. I may even do an ass been I'll

Speaker 1: today right after the game or sometime on Saturday. Haven't decided,
