Speaker 1: Kabbooms.
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: The clearing House of Hot takes break free for something special.

Speaker 4: John, John.
Speaker 1: Our Man, what a great musician Ohio al Is. I
Speaker 1: loved his song in the Talent Show. He was so good,
Speaker 1: so talented with that, so happy we were able to
Speaker 1: play that. So pop goes the culture. These are some
Speaker 1: pop culture stories that popped up on our radar. There's
Speaker 1: a theme every week. This week the theme is food Danny.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of food related stories. Is that because
Speaker 1: it's summertime and restaurants and food places are tossing out
Speaker 1: different items. I saw this bouncing around from Thailand. From
Speaker 1: Thailand where Burger King has created a new cheeseburger, which
Speaker 1: is two slices of bread and the buns of a
Speaker 1: regular Burger King, you know, whopper, and then they put
Speaker 1: twenty slices of cheese. Did you see this?
Speaker 4: I saw this. Yeah, we talked about this. Yeah, this
Speaker 4: is rich at the end of this past week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is a terrible, terrible looking grilled cheese. H
Speaker 1: that could be so much better because the art of
Speaker 1: the grilled cheese. My wife makes a great grilled cheese.
Speaker 1: You got to put grilled cheese on the outside of
Speaker 1: the bun too. You got to really go deep into
Speaker 1: the grilled cheese. This just looks like a slice of
Speaker 1: American cheese. Of that's not a lot of effort. That's lazy.
Speaker 1: Who wants that? Nobody wants that, do they?
Speaker 3: Covino is lactose intolerant.
Speaker 4: So he said, this looks like he would walk up
Speaker 4: to the cashier and say, I'd like to order twenty
Speaker 4: two farts.
Speaker 1: Well he should just order that and then go sit
Speaker 1: on the toilet and eat it. No, you should have
Speaker 1: the nervous heart.
Speaker 3: Oh, this does look like a bathroom break.
Speaker 4: This looks like something that would have you running to
Speaker 4: the bathroom within fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1: Or it could go the other way. You eat that
Speaker 1: much cheese, you might get a little clogged up, right,
Speaker 1: you know, clogged up? You know? No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it might work the other way. So I saw that
Speaker 1: that was kind of crazy. Well, speaking of crazy foods
Speaker 1: on pop goes the culture Dominoes in Japan. I guess
Speaker 1: you gotta leave America to get these crazy food i'ms.
Speaker 1: But in Japan this thing started making the rounds again.
Speaker 1: What is it? It is a Dominoes pizza, but not
Speaker 1: just any Dominoes pizza. No, no, no no, this is
Speaker 1: a pizza filled with pickles, a pickle pizza and somewhere
Speaker 1: in Springfield, mass alf the alien o piner is popa Woody.
Speaker 1: He is so excited. He loves pickles. I saw photos.
Speaker 1: This is to me a night. I do not like pickles.
Speaker 1: I like the smell of them, but this is Are
Speaker 1: you a pickle guy, Danny?
Speaker 3: I like pickles on burgers. Yeah?
Speaker 1: What about pizza?
Speaker 4: Never had it, but I let's see maybe maybe I've
Speaker 4: had like you know how sometimes you'll see somebody create
Speaker 4: like a Hamburger style pizza.
Speaker 3: Yep, well, I think I've had that.
Speaker 4: Before and there were like little slices of pickles on there.
Speaker 1: I've made Philly cheese steak pizza before, which is pretty good.
Speaker 1: That's not bad. I sent you a photo of it,
Speaker 1: and it should be in your in your messages there.
Speaker 4: My mom used to do this thing back in the
Speaker 4: day where it sounds weird, but it tasted good. She'd
Speaker 4: make her own refried beans and her own tortillas, and
Speaker 4: she made this burrito where she would cut up little
Speaker 4: slices of pickles and put those in the refried beans.
Speaker 4: And it sounds a little odd, but it tasted really
Speaker 4: good when you added the sour cream and the lettuce
Speaker 4: in there.
Speaker 1: Do you like sweet pickles or do you like the
Speaker 1: traditional pickle?
Speaker 3: The traditional?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I like none of the book. So what
Speaker 1: do you think of that photo that I sent you
Speaker 1: the story there?
Speaker 3: It looks like too many damn pickles.
Speaker 1: Right, that looks disgusting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, pickles.
Speaker 4: It's one of those things where they are a great addition,
Speaker 4: like a great window dressing, but you don't want it
Speaker 4: to be the star of the dish.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's a little much.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: McDonald's announced this week that the miccafe bakery lineup na
Speaker 1: na good bye. Yeah, it's dun skis Seilers. Most people
Speaker 1: go to McDonald's I think they. I don't eat breakfast
Speaker 1: because I'm a loser. I eat one meal a day.
Speaker 1: But for those people that do, I think you go.
Speaker 1: If you go to McDonald's for breakfast, you go in egg, McMuffin, sausage, mcgriddle,
Speaker 1: something like that, Right, that's what you're Oh, yeah that
Speaker 1: mcgriddle is good. Yeah, you're doing something along those lines.
Speaker 1: But McDonald's has had this McCafe thing for a while
Speaker 1: and they announced that, Hey, we're done at the apple fritter,
Speaker 1: the blueberry muffin, the cinnamon roll, the only permanent McCafe
Speaker 1: bakery offerings will be phased out. So these things have
Speaker 1: been around for I don't know, three four years something
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 4: Man, that stuff all stunk anyways, Bring back your original
Speaker 4: apple pie?
Speaker 1: Oh you can guess. I think. Do we talk about that?
Speaker 1: I think we did.
Speaker 3: Did we did? We've talked about that on the podcast before.
Speaker 1: We can still get it because of where we live.
Speaker 1: You got to go to where's the town.
Speaker 3: Oh, Downy, California.
Speaker 1: Downey, the original mc donald's or the second McDonald Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's worth the trip out there. Yeah. I actually lived
Speaker 1: right next to that McDonald's MYO. When we were moving,
Speaker 1: we stayed, we were in between houses and we stayed
Speaker 1: for like a couple of months in Downey. I spent
Speaker 1: some time in Downey's. Got no, I don't want to
Speaker 1: say no, but they have very few zoning laws. It's
Speaker 1: kind of like Houston where you can get a mansion
Speaker 1: right next to like that like just a shithole. You
Speaker 1: know it is. You know there's a school and then
Speaker 1: there's a strip club. You know that kind of thing
Speaker 1: is right.
Speaker 4: It's a great place to rent out somebody's back house,
Speaker 4: like their pool house because every single building there has
Speaker 4: some sort of addition being added on to it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and a lot of those big it's like the
Speaker 1: White House. You know those things out in front of
Speaker 1: the building. What they called those pillars. Yeah, a lot
Speaker 1: of pillars. Yah in Downey, a lot of pillars. As
Speaker 1: I remember, Pop goes the alt You next up, man?
Speaker 1: This guy. I saw his restaurant last time I was
Speaker 1: in Vegas. You ever seen Robert Irvine and his TV
Speaker 1: show A restaurant Impossible? Yeah, Well you won't see it anymore.
Speaker 1: The Food Network has canceled Robert Irvine's makeover show. It
Speaker 1: will be no more. This guy's like a kind of
Speaker 1: a little older than us to anybody's completely ripped. He's
Speaker 1: built like a Donnis. This guy works out all the time.
Speaker 1: And that show after twenty two seasons, twenty two years,
Speaker 1: this guy hosted that show and it's out. It's done,
Speaker 1: Dunski's According to the Hollywood Trades, the show has been
Speaker 1: put out to pasture, so no one. Guy's probably got
Speaker 1: a lot of cash. I would think he did that
Speaker 1: show for a while. He's got restaurant deals. I think
Speaker 1: Robert Irvine's gonna be okay. Yeah, And I think that
Speaker 1: show peaked a while ago. Yeah, I have not watched
Speaker 1: a lot of the Food Network, although the last time
Speaker 1: I did, it was just all people doing competitions against
Speaker 1: each other. Is that pretty much all they do now?
Speaker 3: It's about seventy percent of it, I'd say.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, other food stories are food related. This week, they're
Speaker 1: making Hungry right Now is a story out of if
Speaker 1: this came up on Covino and Rich. But the FTC
Speaker 1: is fighting back against edibles because they claim that these
Speaker 1: companies are making ripoff Doritos, nerd Ropes and a bunch
Speaker 1: of products like that flaming hot Cheetos that look exactly
Speaker 1: like the normal products, and they're apparently a bunch of
Speaker 1: kids are getting the munchies and they're eating the marijuana
Speaker 1: products rather than the regular one because their parents put
Speaker 1: them side by side or whatever in the cabinet, and
Speaker 1: so the kids are like, hey, I want some Doritos,
Speaker 1: and they get and the special Doritos.
Speaker 4: God, what dopey parents are putting this in a cabinet
Speaker 4: for their kids to be able to grab.
Speaker 1: He's apparently a fair amount of dumb dumbs. I don't
Speaker 1: know what to tell you, but there you go. It's
Speaker 1: good marketing though, right. I think if you're going to
Speaker 1: make a cannabis like product, like a food product, you
Speaker 1: want to make it look like the regular one. And
Speaker 1: they've done it. I didn't know that was allowed. I
Speaker 1: didn't think that was allowed, but apparently it is. Pop
Speaker 1: goes the culture. Here's the world's ultimate swear word. A
Speaker 1: mathematician has used an algorithm to create what they say
Speaker 1: is the new number one offensive term. You want to
Speaker 1: take a guess what it is? Redskins? No, the term.
Speaker 1: I've actually heard this listening overhearing conversations. I don't really
Speaker 1: use it myself. Maybe I should? Would I sound cooler
Speaker 1: if I use the word? This is according to King's College, London.
Speaker 1: The word is banger. That's a banger.
Speaker 3: That's a banger right there.
Speaker 1: You ever use that word? They say it's the world's
Speaker 1: ultimate swear word.
Speaker 3: That's that's a swear word in America. That's what people
Speaker 3: say when they like a song.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is what they say. Research fed a list
Speaker 1: of popular bad words. In this algorithm. The computer spit
Speaker 1: out banger that that is. That's not a curse word though, like, nah,
Speaker 1: come on, that doesn't trump fuck? That's the king of
Speaker 1: a bad well. Actually the sea word is.
Speaker 4: The ultimate one, right, that's the winner. Yeah, that's the
Speaker 4: all time winner. I'm mom threatened us. She's like, you know,
Speaker 4: say the F word, you're gonna get in trouble. You
Speaker 4: say the C word, you're going to be eating a
Speaker 4: bar of soap.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's we'll see you next Tuesday, I think is
Speaker 1: the way that way? Anyway? Another pop goes to the
Speaker 1: culture story from the food world. A London brewery has
Speaker 1: created the world's first truly carbon negative pint. Does anyone
Speaker 1: need this? These stories are such bullshit. This one says
Speaker 1: the Gypsy Hill Brewery has created the world's first offset
Speaker 1: free carbon negative beer. The beer removes more greenhouse gases
Speaker 1: from the atmosphere than it produces. How many beer drinkers
Speaker 1: are really concerned about the atmosphere? Danny? What do you think?
Speaker 1: What percentage of beer drinkers are? Like, I really hope
Speaker 1: my beer is carbon negative?
Speaker 4: I really want that probably point zero zero zero five?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like know your audience, Okay, now, I know it's
Speaker 1: some high full louting places, some of the wokesters and
Speaker 1: all that they're into it. But the artsy fartsy types.
Speaker 1: But I'm thinking most people that want a beer, I
Speaker 1: just want to have a beer and they don't want
Speaker 1: any of that other other nonsense. So there's that Oh
Speaker 1: I want to do this one too. This. I love
Speaker 1: this video. I'm sure you probably talked about this in Cavino, Rich.
Speaker 1: Did you see the video of the guy that attempted
Speaker 1: to rob the manicure place in Atlanta? Oh? This is
Speaker 1: so good. So you didn't see this, I hope you did.
Speaker 1: It went viral. So the Atlanta Police Department is looking
Speaker 1: trying to find this guy. This surveillance video from this
Speaker 1: nail salon outside Atlanta is amazing. So this dude walks
Speaker 1: in there and he walks into the nail salon. He's
Speaker 1: wearing a blue hat, he's got sunglasses on, blue jeans,
Speaker 1: and right as he enters there, he demands that everyone
Speaker 1: present get on the ground and hand over the money.
Speaker 1: He's like, he probably saw that in a movie. You know,
Speaker 1: I saw that in a movie, and I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go for that. It worked in the movie, so
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go for it. So the guy walks in,
Speaker 1: there's some a couple of women sitting down there the
Speaker 1: guy walks in. I'm a little concerned though. I think
Speaker 1: he might be warning a clipper hat that kind of
Speaker 1: looks like a clipper. Yes, I think he's wearing a
Speaker 1: damn clipper.
Speaker 3: I thought the same thing when I saw this.
Speaker 1: Oh it doesn't looks it is a clipper hat. Oh
Speaker 1: this is making us look bad? Here, man, what are
Speaker 1: you doing? What is still wrong with the Clippers? It's
Speaker 1: so funny. No one pays any attention to the guy.
Speaker 1: It's as is he pretending like he's hiding a gun?
Speaker 1: Is that what he's trying to do? Yes, and then
Speaker 1: he gives something. He walks out, Oh, so so good.
Speaker 3: It was like he was coached by Doc Rivers.
Speaker 1: Screw you, oh man. You know what he looks like.
Speaker 1: He looks like a Laker player from when Kobe retired, Okay,
Speaker 1: right after Kobe retired for several years. That's what he
Speaker 1: looks like, the D'Angelo Russell Alonzo ball version of the Lakers.
Speaker 1: Let's get to the mailbag. It's these are actual letters
Speaker 1: by actual listeners on the mailbag. We thank you, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you so much, and again, if you want to
Speaker 1: send a message in real fifth hour at gmail dot com,
Speaker 1: all letters, no numbers, real fifth hour at gmail dot
Speaker 1: com and name and city, name and city if you
Speaker 1: want attention, Mark in Houston or at Houston. Adjasent says,
Speaker 1: dear Ben and Danny G How do you guys come
Speaker 1: up with the topics? He says, on the show, my show,
Speaker 1: the opening show for four topics, five days a week,
Speaker 1: four monologues, twenty monologues a week. In the adult jumps
Speaker 1: of July, I when nothing is happening in the air
Speaker 1: everywhere with Mark. That's an outdated take by you, Mark,
Speaker 1: because for years people were talking about the dead zone,
Speaker 1: there's nothing going on, But we have all done sports
Speaker 1: radio during COVID, so that was the dead zone. This
Speaker 1: is not the dead zone. There's always stuff going on.
Speaker 1: You gotta be able to work on the edges a
Speaker 1: little bit. You got to work out in the suburbs.
Speaker 1: But there's always stuff going on. And it's really I
Speaker 1: actually like this time of the year, which is kind
Speaker 1: of ridiculous because I shouldn't like this time of the year,
Speaker 1: but it's a little more challenging, which I like. You know,
Speaker 1: you gotta kind of dig a little bit, and if
Speaker 1: you don't do your your work. You don't do your diligence,
Speaker 1: then it becomes problematic and the show sucks. And I
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of guys are exposed this time
Speaker 1: of the year because they just depend on football, football, football,
Speaker 1: and there's not a lot of stuff going on and
Speaker 1: so football wise, but there's stuff going on, it's just
Speaker 1: a lot of gossip, a lot of speculation, a lot
Speaker 1: of this guy said something, that guy said something. But
Speaker 1: it actually has not been that hard. And in fact,
Speaker 1: some of the times I've done holiday shows, when you
Speaker 1: think those would be easy shows, there's not a lot
Speaker 1: going on because people shut it down for the holiday.
Speaker 1: So I've had issue. I've had more issues around like
Speaker 1: certain big holidays, not Thanksgiving, because there's a ton of stuff,
Speaker 1: but sometimes it's a little slower on the holidays. So
Speaker 1: what about Covino and Rich? Have you guys been able
Speaker 1: to be fine with the topics of conversation here through this?
Speaker 4: They have no problem filling their segments, especially with the
Speaker 4: TMZ sports type stories. I'm also just looking at certain
Speaker 4: stories like that and then having their own spin and
Speaker 4: their own angle on it. The good thing about your
Speaker 4: show and their show their entertainment driven. It's not just sports.
Speaker 4: It's a lot of entertainment and pop culture.
Speaker 1: It's not a hard sports show. But thank you, Mark,
Speaker 1: Pete and Pittsburgh wrote in the Great Pete and Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: retired sports radio legend, Good Old Pete. He says, Ben,
Speaker 1: are you angry that people have said the show is
Speaker 1: not as good because Roberto left? So Pete, I know
Speaker 1: you're trying to rile me up here get a reaction
Speaker 1: out of me. Very funny of you. No, I am
Speaker 1: not surprised. Just like when Danny G left the show.
Speaker 1: People were upset when you left, Danny. They said the
Speaker 1: show sucks, It's never going to be the same.
Speaker 3: He had a point back then.
Speaker 1: That was not a good point. But before before then,
Speaker 1: we had Jake Warner stay awake Jake, and people loved
Speaker 1: Jake and they were kind of like, who's this Danny
Speaker 1: G guy? And then they lay they liked you, and
Speaker 1: it just takes a while for people to get used
Speaker 1: to it. We do not have a permanent engineer, so
Speaker 1: that chair is a spinning chair, and we have three
Speaker 1: people during the week, so I'm working with three different people.
Speaker 1: They're working with me. We're trying to feel each other out.
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to really take ownership of that because it's
Speaker 1: not their job yet. So eventually we'll hire someone permanently,
Speaker 1: not me, the company will, and then people will be
Speaker 1: used to that, and i'd like some of the traditions
Speaker 1: to continue that we've done over the years. A lot
Speaker 1: of those have died in the last month or so
Speaker 1: because we're just rotating too many people in. But we'll
Speaker 1: get to that. We'll get to it at some point.
Speaker 4: I heard that Mark Dude talking with you on the air.
Speaker 4: He's super animated. He definitely would take your chair someday.
Speaker 1: Yes, he's a future talk showst or politician or yeah,
Speaker 1: Matt the Warrior Raider former. As Fan writes it, he's
Speaker 1: his question for you Ben on the podcast when you
Speaker 1: give the malor monologues, are you reading it from a
Speaker 1: script just glancing at notes or are you speaking completely
Speaker 1: off the top of your head? That is from Matt.
Speaker 1: So it's a little bit of everything, Matt. Most of
Speaker 1: the time I have talking points that I have bullet
Speaker 1: points that I have certain things I want to nail
Speaker 1: that I think are important in the monologue. But when
Speaker 1: something big happens, when there's a trade or somebody drops
Speaker 1: dead in the middle of the night, or there's a
Speaker 1: riot and we're talking about it. That's obviously all just
Speaker 1: completely ad lib. There's no real notes. You just kind
Speaker 1: of going in real time. So there's some of that,
Speaker 1: and then every once in a while there's something I
Speaker 1: really want to nail it, I'll put a script together.
Speaker 1: But most of the time it's just it's just bullet points.
Speaker 1: And I can thank my mentor, Lee Hacksaw Hamilton with
Speaker 1: the greatest fifteen minutes in radio, who kind of taught
Speaker 1: me that style of radio. And I hope I've adjusted
Speaker 1: it a little bit that I'm not doing exactly what
Speaker 1: he did, and I've got my own polish on it.
Speaker 1: But that's kind of how that goes, and everyone's got
Speaker 1: their own technique. So to eat David in winter Park,
Speaker 1: Florida with his friend Roscale the parents is what kind
Speaker 1: of treats do you guys? Do you give your your pets?
Speaker 1: Then he mentions Bella, do you you have pets too? Right,
Speaker 1: Danny you have what do you have?
Speaker 3: You have a dog? Get a cat too?
Speaker 1: I only have a dog. Yeah, So I give Bella
Speaker 1: we have these papparonis, and I'll do a little dance. Well,
Speaker 1: she'll do the dance. Well, she used to do the dance.
Speaker 1: She's too old now. But I'll say it's pop Baroni time,
Speaker 1: like that, like pop Baroni time, and she'd get excited.
Speaker 1: She'd wag her tails, she'd jump up and down. Now
Speaker 1: she kind of gives me the look like, just give
Speaker 1: me the damn treat. Okay, I've done enough dancing. I'm retired.
Speaker 1: Screw you. What treats do you give your cat and
Speaker 1: your dog? Danny start with Daisy the dog.
Speaker 4: I actually I have these sitting right here because she
Speaker 4: was over here begging for some treats earlier.
Speaker 1: Hold that up there, Oh, I'll twist dream bone. Looks
Speaker 1: like candy cane.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's a little dog. She can't have raw hide.
Speaker 4: But they have these little twist sticks. And it's funny
Speaker 4: because she'll bite them down so they're like the size
Speaker 4: of a cigarette and she'll be running up and down
Speaker 4: the stairs with what looks like a cigar in her mouth.
Speaker 1: That's funny. You should take a video of that.
Speaker 4: That's really funny. It's really funny. Whenever she looks like,
Speaker 4: who is that?
Speaker 3: Really? Old comedian George Burns.
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, George Burns.
Speaker 3: Yeah, looks like George Burns running up and down the staircase.
Speaker 1: Any of those old comedians they all used to have,
Speaker 1: like Milton Burrel is that his name, the guy with
Speaker 1: the yeah you know? Okay? And what about the cat?
Speaker 4: For a treat for him, He'll go take a couple
Speaker 4: of her dog food pellets. We pour the crunchies in
Speaker 4: her bowl, and whenever he hears that bag open, he
Speaker 4: runs over there and he steals a couple of them,
Speaker 4: and that's his treat.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
Speaker 3: He doesn't like cat.
Speaker 1: Treats though, little thief there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, doesn't like wet food, doesn't like human food. He's
Speaker 4: really easy. He just likes crunchies.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I like country food too, so we have that
Speaker 1: in common.
Speaker 3: Yeah, same sliced pizza.
Speaker 1: Robert writes, and he says, what are the chances of
Speaker 1: a Malord meet and greet road show at Saratoga? A
Speaker 1: couple of horse races, a couple of beers, some good food,
Speaker 1: bunch of wacky listeners. I would love to do that, Robert.
Speaker 1: I would. I've never been to Saratoga. I've been to
Speaker 1: New York. That's outside New York, a little outside the
Speaker 1: city there in Saratoga. Would love to go, but I've
Speaker 1: gone through my entire travel budget. I will unless unless
Speaker 1: something unexpected happens. I am not planning on going anywhere now.
Speaker 1: If I always say nanny, if a listener really wants
Speaker 1: a meet and greet and has a lot of a
Speaker 1: lot of money deep pockets, everyone says, I am more
Speaker 1: than willing to to travel pretty much anywhere for a
Speaker 1: malor meet and read. Just need enough time to promote
Speaker 1: it and we'll have a grand time. Patricia, But thank you, Robert.
Speaker 1: I would like to get to Saratoga at sometime. At
Speaker 1: some point I can hang out with Mike FRANCESSA doesn't
Speaker 1: he hang out at Saratoga. I get maybe move to Florida.
Speaker 1: Patricia from Vegas Rights and her friend Patricia, She's been
Speaker 1: listening for a long time. She used to live in
Speaker 1: the Northeast. She says, Hey, Ben, when you make cookies,
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, do you actually make the dough from scratch? Yes, yes, Patricia,
Speaker 1: I make the whole thing. I have the flour, I
Speaker 1: have the sugar, I've got the baking soda, the baking powder,
Speaker 1: and you mix it all together. I've got a nice
Speaker 1: mixer my mom got me is a wedding gift, and
Speaker 1: so I make the whole the whole thing, so Eddie
Speaker 1: and the guys can can shit all over the cookies
Speaker 1: I make. So that's kind of how that goes. Hey,
Speaker 1: here's the next one from Ozzy wahz. He says Big
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g. Last week we had heavy fog
Speaker 1: in the area where visibility was down to about fifty
Speaker 1: meters or about one hundred and sixty four feet, says
Speaker 1: Ozziewah's math. So my question is what is the worst
Speaker 1: conditions that you've had to drive in. The worst driving
Speaker 1: I ever had to go through was in Buffalo. It
Speaker 1: was after a Bills game. It was early in the year,
Speaker 1: so it wasn't snow, but there was a lake effect
Speaker 1: storm and I was on the New York Expressway leaving
Speaker 1: Buffalo and it was so I think that was the
Speaker 1: road that I was on, but it was right near
Speaker 1: the Big Lake and it was raining sideways and it
Speaker 1: was raining so hard the windshield wipers weren't working and
Speaker 1: they were on the highest setting. I've never seen rain
Speaker 1: like that. I'm used to California rain. So I was
Speaker 1: with my younger brother Mike, and we stopped, literally had
Speaker 1: to stop the car in the middle of the highway
Speaker 1: because we couldn't see behind us or in front of us.
Speaker 1: We kind of made out a tail light, so we thought, Okay,
Speaker 1: the traffic stopped, maybe there's an accident, but we weren't.
Speaker 1: We didn't know for sure, so we stopped and for
Speaker 1: for a little while, Danny, we were like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: are we gonna get rear ended? Like we didn't know,
Speaker 1: but like everyone kind of stopped. It was wild. So
Speaker 1: that's the worst weather I've I've ever dreamed in Elan.
Speaker 1: There's been fogg. That's terrible. But what about you, Danny, Yeah,
Speaker 1: two things come to mind.
Speaker 4: Fog in California, especially through the bakers Field area.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a terrible that's p that is thick.
Speaker 3: That's that pea soup. Yeah, they call it Bakersfield Peace soup.
Speaker 4: And the times we saw that we would be driving
Speaker 4: from northern California to LA to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
Speaker 3: On the road early early to get to an.
Speaker 4: LA Raiders game as kids, and there would be that
Speaker 4: Bakersfield Peace soup that we would drive through. And then uh,
Speaker 4: later in life, when I would. I went on a
Speaker 4: hiking trip with my cousin and we went to Zion
Speaker 4: National Park, about two hours outside of Vegas, Awesome National Park.
Speaker 4: On the way back to California through Nevada, in the
Speaker 4: middle of nowhere Nevada, there was a lightning storm and
Speaker 4: you could see the lightning hitting the side of the freeway,
Speaker 4: and that shit is scary when you are in the
Speaker 4: middle of that. I mean, you think your car is
Speaker 4: going to be struck next Yeah.
Speaker 1: That's that's nuts. I got stuck in a lightning storm.
Speaker 1: I was visiting my brother and his buddy who eventually
Speaker 1: became like a billionaire. That's a different story, but he
Speaker 1: was just out of college and I was like the young,
Speaker 1: young punk and they were showing me. My brother was
Speaker 1: showing me around New York. I'd never been there at
Speaker 1: that time. It's a long time ago. So we took
Speaker 1: the Path train to Hoboken, New Jersey, and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, out of nowhere, this is in the days
Speaker 1: before weather apps, there was this lightning and rainstorm and
Speaker 1: we were outside and there were there was nothing. We
Speaker 1: couldn't get cover because there were like these junk yards
Speaker 1: and Hoboken and but that was I was not driving,
Speaker 1: but I just that flashed in my head when you
Speaker 1: mentioned the lightning, and I don't know, it just kind
Speaker 1: of flopped worked around in my in my memory. And
Speaker 1: Ozzie was let us know the craziest creatures you've seen.
Speaker 1: You live in Western Australia, and that appears to be
Speaker 1: ground zero for a bunch of freaky, freaky goblins and whatnot.
Speaker 1: Maryanne from Tennessee rights in and she says, what is
Speaker 1: your favorite guys, what was your favorite childhood memory? That's
Speaker 1: kind of a generic question, Mary Anne. I got a
Speaker 1: ton of favorite memories everyone does. You know why? I've
Speaker 1: determined why we all have great childhood memories because we
Speaker 1: block out most of us block out the bad stuff.
Speaker 1: We only remember the good stuff, right. Isn't that how
Speaker 1: that works? You don't remember the bad days when you
Speaker 1: didn't do your homework, you didn't eat your vegetables, you
Speaker 1: got sent to your room early. You only remember like
Speaker 1: the good stuff for the most part. So I remember
Speaker 1: playing in the orange groves when I grew up in
Speaker 1: Orange County and there were nothing but orange groves, and
Speaker 1: we had massive fights throwing oranges at each other and
Speaker 1: as many oranges as far as the eye could see
Speaker 1: where orange groves. It was amazing. Great memories of that,
Speaker 1: running around with my buddies and playing stickball and with
Speaker 1: we played baseball with racquetballs and what not to see
Speaker 1: how far we golf balls, to see how far we
Speaker 1: could hit the ball. Stuff like that. What about you, Danny.
Speaker 4: I remember being in the courthouse and the judge asking
Speaker 4: us which parent we wanted to live with. Good time, well,
Speaker 4: fun memories, fun memories, Yes, thanks Mom and Dad.
Speaker 1: What else do we have? Sam from Winter Park, Florida says,
Speaker 1: best toppings for a burger and do you put any
Speaker 1: of them on at the end while the burger is
Speaker 1: still on the grill. So I like making the smash
Speaker 1: burger on my griddle. That's my go to burger. But
Speaker 1: just I'm a basic, basic bitch when it comes to
Speaker 1: the burgers. I like the cheese, normally your provolone, sometimes
Speaker 1: little American cheese, grilled onions. I like the grilled onions.
Speaker 1: Sometimes onion strings are a nice little add on to that,
Speaker 1: you know. And then I might my regular toppings, but
Speaker 1: not much more than That's all I need and keep
Speaker 1: the lettuce away. What about you, Danny.
Speaker 4: I like the real cheeseburger from Burger King. Google it
Speaker 4: all cheese all the time. H Yeah, get some nacho
Speaker 4: chips and make some nachos out.
Speaker 1: Of your burger. So the way to go.
Speaker 3: And if you know what, what is it hard Ease
Speaker 3: and other parts of the country.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Carls Junior love the Western bacon cheeseburger.
Speaker 1: It's a solid burger. Of course I would get it
Speaker 1: without the bacon, but it's a solidar. I used to
Speaker 1: get the six dollars burger, which is probably seventy two
Speaker 1: dollars at this point, but it used to be the
Speaker 1: six dollar burger back in the day. Next up, we
Speaker 1: have Big m from Appleton, Wisconsin on the podcast Thank You.
Speaker 1: He says, Ben, are you really frustrated? You sound like
Speaker 1: you are When Coop and Eddie bash your cookies, he says,
Speaker 1: the cookies look good in the photos you posted online. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you. The cookies are good.
Speaker 3: What problem do they have with them?
Speaker 1: Eddie's just a schmuck. He's like, Ah, they're not that good,
Speaker 1: you know. Coop complains, I don't even know why I
Speaker 1: bring these things in.
Speaker 3: Why does Coop complain? He eats anything let's put in
Speaker 3: front of him.
Speaker 1: Well, originally he was very positive about the cookies, and
Speaker 1: then lately the last couple of times I brought them in,
Speaker 1: I guess they're not up to his standard, or he does.
Speaker 1: He eats them, so you must like him. But I mean,
Speaker 1: maybe he's just trying to bust my balls. I don't know. Anyway,
Speaker 1: the cookies are fine, and.
Speaker 3: Maybe your skills are deteriorating.
Speaker 1: My skills are great, and in fact, I'll be making
Speaker 1: more cookies when we get done with this podcast, and
Speaker 1: maybe I won't bring them in for the You know
Speaker 1: who liked my cookie, Former NFL player and morning host
Speaker 1: LeVar Errington. I gave him a cook He broke his
Speaker 1: diet to eat one of my cookies. He said, that's
Speaker 1: a good cookie. He said that you're oatmeal raised it.
Speaker 4: If you want to leave a bag for the CNR show, yeah,
Speaker 4: are good.
Speaker 1: I might have to when the when the the baby
Speaker 1: pops out there, I might have to, you know, as
Speaker 1: a gift to the family, I might have to make
Speaker 1: some oatmeal raisin for the for the wife there of
Speaker 1: yours to help rih uh Fred in Spring Texas rights
Speaker 1: and says, hey, there, guys, how does one adjust to
Speaker 1: the precarious nature of the radio workplace, abrupt firing, stations,
Speaker 1: being sold, staff shakeups in planning your careers, do you
Speaker 1: have to be ready for the worst? Do you have
Speaker 1: a plan for the worst? Says enjoy the show Fred
Speaker 1: in Spring, Texas.
Speaker 4: So it's a very happy topic, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Very positive. I just I work each day to try
Speaker 1: to do the top notch job that I can do,
Speaker 1: the greatest job that I can do, do the heavy lifting.
Speaker 1: And if this job doesn't work out, you're fired. There's
Speaker 1: always somebody listening in the business or outside the business.
Speaker 1: And now with podcasting, we can just do these podcasts.
Speaker 1: You don't necessarily need to be with the big media conglomerate.
Speaker 1: I'm not guaranteed of any employment. I could lose this
Speaker 1: job and never be heard from again, or you know,
Speaker 1: it's possible. I know enough people now I could get
Speaker 1: another job somewhere. Who knows. I have no idea, but
Speaker 1: I don't really I used to obsess about it when
Speaker 1: I started Danny. Every day I would go in because
Speaker 1: I worked at the station in San Diego, and they
Speaker 1: would fire all the time. They'd fire people at Christmas.
Speaker 1: Guys would go on vacation friends of mine host and
Speaker 1: they would never come back. And I was like, that's
Speaker 1: what happened, is why they fired him? And they just
Speaker 1: said he was on vacation and then he never came back.
Speaker 1: So I was very paranoid, and I started when I
Speaker 1: moved from San Diego to La Radio. It was a
Speaker 1: it was a startup. They had flipped Kiss AM, which
Speaker 1: had played Kiss FM just on the M band. They
Speaker 1: flipped it the sports and they spent a lot of
Speaker 1: money on it. They got the Dodger contract, but there
Speaker 1: was no guarantee they were going to keep the format,
Speaker 1: and I was I had such a neurosis. I was
Speaker 1: so traumatized that I was convinced I was going to
Speaker 1: be fired. Every every day I walked in there, I said,
Speaker 1: this is it. It's going to end. But now I
Speaker 1: don't really think about it that much.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 1: I mean, if it happens, I know I'll pivot, I'll
Speaker 1: do something else, we'll figure it out, It'll be all right.
Speaker 4: It's no way to live your life, you know, being
Speaker 4: scared or nervous about what could happen. The best thing
Speaker 4: to do, besides doing a good on air product, is
Speaker 4: the Eddie Haskell. Whenever you see your bosses, you look
Speaker 4: very handsome today, sir, yes, man, cut the bullshit, my man.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't see my boss is Danny. I do not.
Speaker 1: But it's like that my favorite quote from W. C. Fields,
Speaker 1: and he was a quote master, but it's it sums up.
Speaker 1: I think the show that I've done over the year
Speaker 1: is if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them
Speaker 1: with bullshit. That's the key right there, Danny, just baffle
Speaker 1: the bosses with bullshit. And yeah, that guy, there's a
Speaker 1: street named after him.
Speaker 3: W C.
Speaker 1: Fields, Old Hollywood, early Hollywood, like in the forties, actor comedian,
Speaker 1: right near Universal Studios. There's a street named after him.
Speaker 4: Well, it's so weird how little our bosses have been
Speaker 4: around us. Our Big Boss was in Vegas and after
Speaker 4: the event he said, my man, you work your ass off.
Speaker 4: My man, I had no idea, you know, because he's
Speaker 4: never he's not in our Sherman Oaks, California building, so
Speaker 4: he doesn't really know us all that much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting in with him maybe once a year,
Speaker 1: the Big Boss, if I'm lucky, once every few years.
Speaker 1: And then when we get together we talk for like
Speaker 1: two hours. We always schedule like a half an hour meeting,
Speaker 1: but I know it's going to be two hours, and
Speaker 1: we just we catch up on everything. It's pretty crazy.
Speaker 4: He's got so many radio stories, and then with your
Speaker 4: radio stories, that's like that's like a mini series.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're geeking out on radio stuff. Danny. It's great.
Speaker 1: You love those stories too. We love talking shop talking
Speaker 1: about the crap that happens, usually the things that go wrong.
Speaker 1: Bury from South Carolina, formerly of Nashville. He relocated to
Speaker 1: South Carolina, and he says, Yo yo Ma, Benny and
Speaker 1: Danny G what is the one national park that you
Speaker 1: haven't been to that you really want to go to? So, Danny,
Speaker 1: is there a national park that you've been dying to
Speaker 1: go to.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would love to go to Glacier National Park,
Speaker 4: which half of it is in Canada. The pictures I've
Speaker 4: seen of that park are amazing, So that's definitely one
Speaker 4: on the list.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I haven't been to too many. So I love
Speaker 1: Sequoia and Kings Canyon. That's my go to. That's the
Speaker 1: one I normally go to. I don't think I've been
Speaker 1: to Smite. I don't recall going to Semite. I've been
Speaker 1: to the Grand Canyon. Haven't been to the Great Smoky Mountains.
Speaker 1: I'd like to go to Yellowstone, Rocky Mountains, like, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go to all of them. Zion, you've been a
Speaker 1: Zion in Utah? I've not. I've not done that. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's there's a ton of these around. Is that bad
Speaker 1: Lands place in the Dakotas? Is that a National park?
Speaker 1: I want to go check that out at some point.
Speaker 1: Bad Lands. I think it's a national park? Maybe not?
Speaker 1: Yeah it is, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, Yeah. It looks
Speaker 1: like another planet. It's in the Yeah, it's crazy looking. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like a drive through Utah. I was
Speaker 1: very surprised. I thought it was going to be boring
Speaker 1: and there wasn't going to be much to see.
Speaker 4: Man, the canyons there in the colors of all the
Speaker 4: rocks and the formations. If you get a chance, go
Speaker 4: to Bryce Canyon, just jaw dropping.
Speaker 1: Did you go to the Arches in Utah?
Speaker 2: Is that? Yeah?
Speaker 4: I've been to the Arches? Yeah, amazing, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a ton of the canyons, or not the
Speaker 1: canyons of the national parks, the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico.
Speaker 1: That's pretty wild. I've seen photos of that. I mean
Speaker 1: you can go on and on that lake in Oregon.
Speaker 1: Crater Lake looks pretty wild. I think that's a national park.
Speaker 4: And yeah, and then that little town you mentioned Arches.
Speaker 4: There's that little town, Moab. Stay in Moab, Utah, and
Speaker 4: then go to the Archie's National Park.
Speaker 3: It's a great trip.
Speaker 1: I'll do a few more. We're a little long on
Speaker 1: this alf. The alf from Crumble Cookies says Ben, what
Speaker 1: happens first you eat a pickle or Eddie actually tweets
Speaker 1: out a good picture of one of your cookies. No, no,
Speaker 1: I'll be double fisting cookies. Alf. How about shut up
Speaker 1: before Eddie sends out a good photo. I guarantee that
Speaker 1: will happen. Angelina writes in from Minnesota slash Wisconsin. She's
Speaker 1: a super fan. She says, I've been listening. I have
Speaker 1: not been writing in emails kind of late, but I
Speaker 1: wanted to go over a bunch of things here. Says First,
Speaker 1: I enjoyed your tails of your trip for New York.
Speaker 1: Glad you were able to go to your first Broadway
Speaker 1: production and being sort of tall myself. I can relate
Speaker 1: to these small venue yeah, the really small seats there.
Speaker 1: She also liked the Staten Island ferry tip free. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta take take it right and on a clear
Speaker 1: day in Manhattan, and it's just beautiful during the day.
Speaker 1: It's also beautiful at night because you see the skyline
Speaker 1: all lay up of Lower Manhattan and all the financial
Speaker 1: buildings down there near Wall Street. It's very powerful. And
Speaker 1: then you go buy the Statue of Liberty and all that.
Speaker 1: She says, not to touch up your work. But when
Speaker 1: you talked about the old TV game show, I was
Speaker 1: wondering if you meant let's make a deal. I love
Speaker 1: Let's make a Deal, and she says an older show
Speaker 1: that deal or Deal.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we accidentally called a deal or no Deal, which
Speaker 4: is the Howie Mandel.
Speaker 3: Yeah may show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Let's make a Deal was the one with Monty Hall,
Speaker 1: and then I think it was alf pointed out as
Speaker 1: Classic Concentration was one of the other ones with Alex
Speaker 1: Trebek that we were trying to Okay, thank you, And
Speaker 1: then I do want to thank Angelina because she mentioned
Speaker 1: I was trying to think of the cartoon that I
Speaker 1: couldn't think of it. It was family circus. It was family. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So anyways, Angelina, thank you so much. You've been a
Speaker 1: great support of the show, and I really appreciate you
Speaker 1: supporting what we do here. What else do we have?
Speaker 1: Neil in Greenville, South Carolina, says, the home of the
Speaker 1: Red Sox. That Neil's the guy in Miami. Danny now
Speaker 1: relocated to Greenville, South Carolina. He had this, Yeah, he
Speaker 1: had that condo right over the apartment right over the
Speaker 1: Miami ead Arena and a skyscraper in Miami.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, And then we talked about his moving process.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he said. We traded the majestic Miami penthouse across
Speaker 1: from the arena for the green acre style humble southern
Speaker 1: living across the street from the flower Field where the
Speaker 1: Greenville Drive the Minor League Red Sox play. Actually going
Speaker 1: to a game next week. As in these parts baseball
Speaker 1: is popular as it may seem. This is yeah, you go,
Speaker 1: He says, front row behind home plate cost you fourteen dollars,
Speaker 1: and then he sent a photo of.
Speaker 3: All and everybody could beat Marlin's man.
Speaker 1: He says. The big question, if you and Danny G
Speaker 1: would own a professional sports team, what sport would it be?
Speaker 1: And what would the name of your team be? And
Speaker 1: the mascot of your team? So I would want to
Speaker 1: do something original. I don't need the Wildcats or the
Speaker 1: Bulldogs or something like that. I mean, and I was
Speaker 1: just off the top of my head, how about the
Speaker 1: Seattle Shitzus for the new NBA team? What do you
Speaker 1: mean Bella is the mascot there? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, mascots have to be fat, though. You need a
Speaker 1: real fat mascot. That's a fun mascot other than Chuck.
Speaker 4: Pot or fun. What comes to mind for me right
Speaker 4: away is the Savannah bananas. Oh, that's right, Yeah, in
Speaker 4: line with that team, I would do the egg plants.
Speaker 3: The eggplants use that egg plant emoji?
Speaker 1: You do that? Well? Yeah, yeah, that has no other
Speaker 1: meaning at all. How about how about the the Georgia
Speaker 1: peaches and you use the peach emoji on the hat?
Speaker 1: You know you can do that too. What about I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think here some of the other stupid the
Speaker 1: baba ganoosh people love when I say baba ganoosh, Austin,
Speaker 1: you do that. And then here's the most important part.
Speaker 1: The reason I had to get this email from Neil on.
Speaker 1: He says, what are your skull cap sizes and address?
Speaker 1: Where to send the hats to? Do you prefer mesh
Speaker 1: or all cluss? So he's going to hook us up
Speaker 1: with hats, Dandy. How great is that a new hat?
Speaker 1: So we are actually at the same address. Do we
Speaker 1: get mail? I've not gotten mail in a while. Do
Speaker 1: we still get mail at the building? Yeah?
Speaker 4: If they put it on that big white circle table
Speaker 4: next to the blue kitchen.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know where the mail room is, but
Speaker 1: if you send it to the old address, we will
Speaker 1: get it at some point. And I am a size eight,
Speaker 1: big head, big brain, a size eight. What are you, Danny?
Speaker 4: And your I am a seven and five eights? Thank you, brother?
Speaker 4: Or you can also just do snap back if you want.
Speaker 4: I love all hats.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I typically do cloth hats if it's a
Speaker 1: size eight. If it's not a size eight, I can
Speaker 1: do a mesh hat. Typically I prefer the cloth hat.
Speaker 1: But thank you very much, Neil. It's very kind of you.
Speaker 1: You don't have to don't have to do that. Kevin
Speaker 1: and Kansas's dear Ben and Danny g both of you
Speaker 1: have talked about mccobby cove. Do either of you have
Speaker 1: any special oddball or otherwise interesting stories to tell about
Speaker 1: the buzz? Yes, I have a quick one. So way
Speaker 1: back when they opened that ballpark, it was called I
Speaker 1: think is it pack Bell Park when it opened?
Speaker 3: Was pack Bell when it opened?
Speaker 1: Yep? Yeah. So I was working local radio in Los
Speaker 1: Angeles and we we went up to San Francisco as
Speaker 1: a promotion for the radio station, and we rented the
Speaker 1: boss rented a boat to drive around mccuby Cove, to
Speaker 1: float around mccobby Cove, and it was like this whole bit.
Speaker 1: We were going to take on KNBR because at that
Speaker 1: time the other sports station which we're on now didn't exist,
Speaker 1: and so we're going to take on CAMBR and VIC
Speaker 1: the brick Jacobs a Martinez who's now like a he's
Speaker 1: been with public radio for a long time. But he
Speaker 1: was dressed up. VIC was dressed up a couple other
Speaker 1: people at the station. So we had this big boat
Speaker 1: which had the it was like a real boat with
Speaker 1: a mask and all that, and a bunch of guys
Speaker 1: dressed up in pirate costumes. We had remote equipment to
Speaker 1: broadcast from the boat. We had big time whale sponsors
Speaker 1: of the radio station that were there. So I'm on
Speaker 1: the boat. We're floating around McCovey Cove. It's the first
Speaker 1: game ever Dodgers are playing, and the Giants at pack
Speaker 1: Bell Park their first regular season game, and K and
Speaker 1: br had decided to get back at us. They didn't,
Speaker 1: I guess, have the proper boat, so they deputized the
Speaker 1: San Francisco Fire Department boat and we got blasted from
Speaker 1: a fire boat that's there to put out fires for
Speaker 1: like cruise ships and crap like that. And I've told
Speaker 1: the story in the past, but if you've ever seen
Speaker 1: the photos, and it doesn't look like it's that much water,
Speaker 1: It's like it's like five or six hoses of water
Speaker 1: all shooting at the same time. Danny, right, it flooded.
Speaker 1: All of the boat people were diving underboard trying to
Speaker 1: get out. The water was so powerful. And I'll never
Speaker 1: forget the image of Victor Brick trying to get up
Speaker 1: out of the boat, soaking wet in a pirate costume,
Speaker 1: and all of the remote equipment on the boat completely fried,
Speaker 1: depletely fried. The sponsors that were all dressed up, these
Speaker 1: really rich people that paid advertising time in the radio
Speaker 1: station completely soaked. It was. It was nuts. But then
Speaker 1: we went in. I was able to get in and
Speaker 1: see the end of the game. They let me in
Speaker 1: a press pass. I walked in and I saw Kevin
Speaker 1: Elster hit the third of his three home runs. He
Speaker 1: had three home runs in the first game at pack
Speaker 1: Bell Park, and the Dodgers won. More important so beat
Speaker 1: Barry Bonds and the Higantes.
Speaker 4: And did k NBR get a bill from your general
Speaker 4: manager for the remote equipment?
Speaker 1: Well, it is interesting to note, Danny, that we did
Speaker 1: not know this, but it is illegal for the San
Speaker 1: Francisco and this is a long time ago, the San
Speaker 1: Francisco Fire Department to shoot off the water unless there's
Speaker 1: an actual emergency or a fire. So they violated the
Speaker 1: city code in San Francisco. I do not know what
Speaker 1: ever happened with that, though, I don't Did you ever
Speaker 1: have any experiences at mccobby Cove, Danny, anything that stands out.
Speaker 4: I mean, the thing that stands out the most to
Speaker 4: me about that cove, for always and forever is going
Speaker 4: to be Max Muncie. I'm here to fuck off and
Speaker 4: you go get the ball out of the ocean.
Speaker 1: That was that was solid. That was that was good.
Speaker 1: Amish from Columbus Rights, and he says, hey, this is quick.
Speaker 1: Do you I don't know anything, he said. He's talking
Speaker 1: about San Diego's going to San Diego for his fortieth
Speaker 1: prior to attending the O's versus the Padres game that
Speaker 1: that day, he says, do you know the best place
Speaker 1: to eat in the little Italy district of San Diego?
Speaker 1: So I my go to and I used to work
Speaker 1: in San Diego, but I don't eat I don't eat Italian,
Speaker 1: I have any I eat Mexican food when I go
Speaker 1: to San Diego. Is that bad of me?
Speaker 3: No, that's not bad.
Speaker 4: I mean a lot of people avoid Italian restaurants because
Speaker 4: they don't want to be hired after their meal too heavy.
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite Italian place in little Lialy
Speaker 1: there in San Diego?
Speaker 3: I haven't been to a couple of spots there. See that.
Speaker 4: The key is to do an early dinner if you're
Speaker 4: going to go Italian, and then take a nice stroll afterwards,
Speaker 4: walk some of those carbs off, go.
Speaker 1: Over to Cornado and take a nap of the Coronado Bridge.
Speaker 4: Ben, I'm trying to think of the name of it.
Speaker 4: It's got your name in it, ben Cotto, Bencotto. Oh okay, yeah,
Speaker 4: it's a good one.
Speaker 1: Cut that meat. Yeah. I don't know if you've been
Speaker 1: to San Diego before you who wrote in here amish,
Speaker 1: but I would say always good to Old Town. That's
Speaker 1: my my spot. You know that area around there, or
Speaker 1: Mission Valley that's where the Padres used to play a
Speaker 1: Mission Valley, but that's kind of more of a suburban
Speaker 1: type feel. But there's you know, it cost you a
Speaker 1: few bucks. But if you want good Mexican food town
Speaker 1: and there's some great there are some great time place.
Speaker 1: When I worked down there, I did eat some time place,
Speaker 1: eat it some time place, but it's it's been a
Speaker 1: long time.
Speaker 3: So hey.

Speaker 4: be putting together a bascinet.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 4: It's exciting and it's just like my club DJ days,
Speaker 4: a weed, a bascinet. It's the same thing as going
