Speaker 2: know the way in, I know exactly where to park.
Speaker 2: I know where there's a nice bathroom inside an Italian
Speaker 2: restaurant right across the street from the beach. So once
Speaker 2: you have the lay of the land at these beaches
Speaker 2: in southern California, you know where to go and where
Speaker 2: to avoid.
Speaker 3: I have been to Zuma a few times. My family,
Speaker 3: my parents love Zoom. It's like an iconic piece of
Speaker 3: Southern California real estate if you're a local, but even
Speaker 3: if you're a tourist, right because Malibu, a lot of
Speaker 3: people go there to see the celebrities that live out
Speaker 3: on the ocean there and.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's that guy from the Fifth Hour.
Speaker 3: You can't go near their homes, but there's their beaches,
Speaker 3: the beaches right there below their homes. So it's very
Speaker 3: it's very odd.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw mister t there once.
Speaker 3: You did he have the chains on on the beach?
Speaker 2: No chains?
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, how long do you think it takes
Speaker 3: him to put all those chains? He probably didn't do
Speaker 3: that anymore. But back in the Day Forever.

Speaker 3: the greatest barbecue I've had outside of Kansas City or
Speaker 3: South Carolina. Amazing of all places. At the Yama Va
Speaker 3: food court, at a casino in San Bernardino, wherever it
Speaker 3: is there in California. Insane at the barbecue brisket sandwich.

Speaker 3: that I went there and ate it that the next
Speaker 3: when I was leaving, i checked out of the hotel,
Speaker 3: I went and got another order to take home and
Speaker 3: heat up in my oven and home. That's how good
Speaker 3: it was, Danny. You know how how amazing something has

Speaker 3: the places. And when you when you go there, Danny,
Speaker 3: you'll go there at some point and you'll eat barbecue.
Speaker 3: You'll no longer be a virgin, so you'll get rid
Speaker 3: of your virgin skin at that particular point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, the virgin skin in this is about tattoos.
Speaker 2: I know you have plenty of tattoos. You've got your
Speaker 2: first one, what in nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they call me Birdman, like that old NBA player.
Speaker 2: They compare me to virgin. Yeah. And I know you
Speaker 2: have a portrait of lamar Odom on your neck. It's
Speaker 2: one of our friends, his delusion on. That's a nice piece.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure which artists did that one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, l we call him Melo. We don't call him tomorrow,
Speaker 3: call hi Melo.
Speaker 2: And then you have his candy jar on the other
Speaker 2: side of your neck. So you have some nice artwork.
Speaker 3: Well, I actually have on my my lower right leg
Speaker 3: I have a tattoo of the night that me, Jake
Speaker 3: Warner and Jason Smith were at Roscoe Chicken and Waffle
Speaker 3: on Pico and Lamar was in there wall suspended from
Speaker 3: the clippers for weed and recognize me as he was
Speaker 3: dining with some friends there enjoying some that was before
Speaker 3: he became a Kardashian and all that other stuff.
Speaker 2: And some people. You know, you could never your love,
Speaker 2: your love for your audience can never be questioned. You
Speaker 2: on your left thigh. Your left thigh. You actually have
Speaker 2: a tattoo of helmet man with a red on air
Speaker 2: light above his head.
Speaker 3: I'm actually on the live air. Yes, you're on the
Speaker 3: Are we on the live air?
Speaker 2: Dude? That's a great tattoo. Now our middle kid. I
Speaker 2: think I might have mentioned to you on an earlier
Speaker 2: podcast that he was accepted to the University of Oklahoma.
Speaker 3: Now does he have the tagline down? Because I've been
Speaker 3: I've been to Norman, Oklahoma before. Have you gone? Have
Speaker 3: you taken him on a on a tour to Oklahoma?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: So he and one of his best friends both got accepted.
Speaker 2: So they're gonna go together. They're gonna be roommates.
Speaker 3: So you have to. You have to sing sooner born,
Speaker 3: sooner bread, and when I die, I'll be sooner dead.
Speaker 3: But he can't say sooner born and sooner bread. But
Speaker 3: he can't say when I die, I'll be sooner dead.
Speaker 3: That party can sing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, we know the whole boomer thing. And obviously
Speaker 2: he's been getting gear and we've been, you know, stacking
Speaker 2: up some some sooner gear so that we could try
Speaker 2: to fit in for Family Day, which is coming up
Speaker 2: in September. In the meantime, we're giving him a little
Speaker 2: going away party tomorrow. Besides it being big festivity time
Speaker 2: for Big Baby Ka, there's another hotel room which is
Speaker 2: going to be him and his friends drinking illegally.
Speaker 3: Fuck yeah, wonderful.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean they're not twenty one yet, but they're
Speaker 2: college kids now. So what do college kids do?
Speaker 3: Right, Well, you have to get ready for Oklahoma. And
Speaker 3: my memory, I did one Oklahoma Nebraska game back when
Speaker 3: that was a big deal. It was actually a year
Speaker 3: Oklahoma won the national championship, the first one Bob Stoops won.
Speaker 3: I did a national radio game from Norman, Oklahoma, and
Speaker 3: we stayed in Oklahoma City because why would you want
Speaker 3: to stay in Norman. There's nothing there. So we drove
Speaker 3: over from Oklahoma City to Norman and it was we
Speaker 3: got up at like five thirty in the morning and
Speaker 3: we get into Norman and there are people out there
Speaker 3: just chugging beer at like six thirty in the morning.
Speaker 2: I thought he was exaggerating when he told me the
Speaker 2: game that we're going to be attending. It's like the
Speaker 2: big noon kickoff game that weekend. And he's like, oh,
Speaker 2: kids will be in the parking lot at six am drinking,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, six am, really.
Speaker 5: Yes, Yeah, I saw it. I've never seen an I
Speaker 5: never seen before. So you have Bruskis with your scrambled eggs.
Speaker 5: That is way too early for alcohol for me.
Speaker 3: I didn't see any scrambled eggs, but I did see
Speaker 3: a lot of alcohol. It was bananas, man. It was
Speaker 3: what an environment for college football though it's it's awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm enjoyed.
Speaker 3: It's a great little college town too. It's a really
Speaker 3: cool little college town.
Speaker 2: So I'm looking forward to that.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: He's going to be leaving in nine days from now,
Speaker 2: a road trip, which you and the Live Radio Show
Speaker 2: have recent experience with. As you guys road trip to Vegas.
Speaker 2: What a much longer trip of course, to Oklahoma, two
Speaker 2: day drive that his uncle is going to help him with,
Speaker 2: and then his uncle is going to fly back to
Speaker 2: southern California. So we're getting ready for that. And he's
Speaker 2: our middle kid. He's been talking about getting a tattoo
Speaker 2: for a while, and his mom would always tell him, Nah,
Speaker 2: you're too young, Nope, you gotta wait, you know, sixteen seventeen.
Speaker 2: She's like, no, you're not ready. And he's like, put
Speaker 2: my friend on the baseball team and she said, I
Speaker 2: don't care. He's not my son. You are. You're not
Speaker 2: getting a tattoo yet. Well, now he's about to celebrate
Speaker 2: his nineteenth birthday, so I told him, Ben, I said,
Speaker 2: I have a tattoo appointment next Wednesday, and you could
Speaker 2: come along with me to get your first tattoo. At first,
Speaker 2: he was fired up. He's like, yeah, hell yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna do this, and he was telling his mom and
Speaker 2: I his ideas about I'm either gonna do my leg
Speaker 2: right here, I'm gonna do my forearm. And then a
Speaker 2: couple days ago I reminded him, I said, hey, don't forget.
Speaker 2: The tattoo appointment is next Wednesday at six pm. I
Speaker 2: could see the fear in his eyes. What's going on?
Speaker 2: Are you pulling out? You're backing out? You wouls? No, no, no,
Speaker 2: I think I'm still good. I think I'm still good
Speaker 2: for it. So I'm wondering if his virgin skin butt
Speaker 2: is gonna make it or not next Wednesday, let's take bets.
Speaker 3: Now, what is his plan? Like what tattoo is he get?
Speaker 3: Is he get like an Oklahoma logo or something.
Speaker 2: I joked with him about that because he's like, well,
Speaker 2: I'm going to do something simple and not that big.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, so the ou back piece is out
Speaker 2: of the question. He says he wants to get He's
Speaker 2: a mama's boy. He said he wants to get his
Speaker 2: mom's birthday in Roman numerals on his forearm or his leg. Mummy.
Speaker 3: See that would actually be smart because you said your
Speaker 3: your wife is kind of like, don't get a tattoo
Speaker 3: or whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Now, so if he shows up and says, hey, look, mom,
Speaker 3: how can she be upset? It was like, that's a
Speaker 3: tremendous honor for the mom, right, I mean, come on,
Speaker 3: for your wife.
Speaker 2: Well, it's funny you caught that because That was his
Speaker 2: selling point back when he was sixteen seventeen. The tattoo's
Speaker 2: gonna be about you, mom. It's like, I don't care.
Speaker 2: I still don't want you getting ink on your body yet.
Speaker 3: That's great. Yeah, that's a great starter tattoo. And then
Speaker 3: once he gets one tattoo, well, I've already got one tattoo,
Speaker 3: so I don't why not more bingo? So I'm wondering, brilliant.
Speaker 3: Actually that's a smart move.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not wrong. So now I'm wondering. Am I
Speaker 2: gonna be solo at the tattoo appointment next Wednesday? Or
Speaker 2: is he gonna be there? We will find out, dunt dundone.
Speaker 3: Now I want to know is Danny G? Are the
Speaker 3: rumors true on the internet? Is Danny G getting the
Speaker 3: Covino and Rich tattoo?
Speaker 2: Is that correct? Danny? If they sign a one million
Speaker 2: dollar contract with FSR, then I'll get a CNR tattoo.
Speaker 3: You're right. No, if you sign a one million dollar contract,
Speaker 3: you'll get an FSR logo on your arm.
Speaker 2: Oh, if I sign a one million dollar contract, I'll
Speaker 2: get it on my butt.
Speaker 3: On both cheeks. You get the f The s will
Speaker 3: be over your butt crack and then the r will
Speaker 3: be on the other and you'll be like, oh, you know,
Speaker 3: and my man, you know.
Speaker 2: Rich Davis has actually joked a couple of times on
Speaker 2: the air that he has told Covino over the years
Speaker 2: they've now worked together for twenty some odd years, since
Speaker 2: they were both kids. He said, if we ever sign
Speaker 2: a multi million dollar deal for a radio show, I
Speaker 2: will get a tattoo of Covino's face on my butt cheek.
Speaker 2: And so, why do you think Covino works as hard
Speaker 2: as he does?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I love it all right, what do we got
Speaker 3: of it? I gotta mention this London is calling. I
Speaker 3: did want to spend a moment if you didn't hear
Speaker 3: on the original Recipe show during the week, A big
Speaker 3: tip of the microphone the headphones to our p one Femi,
Speaker 3: who I was lucky enough to meet at the Mermaid
Speaker 3: in Minneapolis a couple of years ago. Was a couple
Speaker 3: of years I was last year. I don't even know
Speaker 3: it all runs together. Seems like it was just yesterday
Speaker 3: when I got a speeding ticket, got off the highway
Speaker 3: there in Minnesota, then saw my name on a jumbo
Speaker 3: tron in front of the Mermaid talk about going from
Speaker 3: a low to a high. P one who lives in Minneapolis.
Speaker 3: He's the number one uber each delivery driver in Minnesota.
Speaker 3: He's a dedicated, hard working man. You talk about perseverance,
Speaker 3: you talk about busting your ass, he's got that. I
Speaker 3: love people that have that work ethic, that just keep
Speaker 3: going right, have that grit, get her done. That's a
Speaker 3: guy like Femi. And he's supporting a lot of relatives
Speaker 3: back in his homeland and whatnot. And he's a dedicated
Speaker 3: fan of our show. So he sends me a message
Speaker 3: the other night, Danny, And in case you missed it,
Speaker 3: he's at Heathrow Airport in London on a layover on
Speaker 3: his way back to Minneapolis. He's at a Delta gate
Speaker 3: in Heathrow and he's passing out mallor bumper stickers through
Speaker 3: people at Heathrow Airport in London and on his flight
Speaker 3: back to the States. And he even asked to get
Speaker 3: in contact with Terry in England, who's the number one
Speaker 3: listener to this show in London and in Europe there,
Speaker 3: and so he wanted to get him one as well. Obviously,
Speaker 3: as he said, he throws so he can get out
Speaker 3: of the airport, but Terry did say he wants one
Speaker 3: of those stickers, and Femmi did send one to my
Speaker 3: guy Ozzie Waz who listens to this podcast every weekend
Speaker 3: in Western Australia. So thank you, Femi. You spent your
Speaker 3: own money on that. I appreciate it. It's awesome. I
Speaker 3: did want to mention for those that are showing up
Speaker 3: today to the Malard Meet and greet here on this Saturday,
Speaker 3: we are going to have a limited edition. I should
Speaker 3: have mentioned this yesterday but I just forgot about it.
Speaker 3: But we have a limited edition Ben Malors Show collectible,

Speaker 3: I want to get something to support the show. I
Speaker 3: want to wear something or whatever, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 3: I don't have anything. I mean, every once in a while,
Speaker 3: we had that Spats with Shats shirt that was popular,
Speaker 3: a few of those back in the day, and we
Speaker 3: had the art. I think my favorite shirt was the
Speaker 3: one from the Mad Clown that had the cartoon drawn. Yeah,
Speaker 3: all the different characters on the show. That's a really
Speaker 3: good one. I actually have that in my remote studio.
Speaker 3: I have that art. I have a few photos up
Speaker 3: and some art from different listeners over the years, so
Speaker 3: that'll be available today. Look forward to that. I did
Speaker 3: want to mention also a melancholy rest in peace to
Speaker 3: somebody that influenced my life as a child and has
Speaker 3: gone across the Pearly gates. I've talked about some of
Speaker 3: my radio influences as a kid. I grew up a
Speaker 3: huge fan of a guy named Jim Healy. I listened
Speaker 3: to Hacksaw Hamilton. I actually got to work with him
Speaker 3: as an intern, learned the business from Lee Hamilton. Joe
Speaker 3: McDonald who I became friends with, he passed away. Also
Speaker 3: Howard Stern. I feel like he died, although he's still there.
Speaker 3: He just went woke. But I love Stern back before
Speaker 3: he crossed over. Loved his work when he was a
Speaker 3: shit o jock back in the day. As a kid,
Speaker 3: and another person that I haven't really talked about, but
Speaker 3: I used to listen to this guy every Sunday night
Speaker 3: as a little fat kid growing up and having an
Speaker 3: interest in gambling, I listened on the radio before the Internet.
Speaker 3: There was this station out of Vegas called seven to
Speaker 3: twenty K Dawn and on Sunday night from ten o'clock
Speaker 3: till midnight, this guy, Lee Pete, hosted the show. Now
Speaker 3: at least been dead for a while, but he co
Speaker 3: hosted the show with a sports handicapper named Dave Cochin.
Speaker 3: And that show would come on Sunday night and they
Speaker 3: were the first place to get the overnight line for
Speaker 3: next week's NFL games. They weren't available the internet. This
Speaker 3: is how long ago this was. This was in the
Speaker 3: Stone Age, the Internet wasn't a thing, and so in
Speaker 3: order to get next week's line on the Rams or
Speaker 3: the Raiders, or the Patriots or the Texans, the whoever
Speaker 3: your team is, you had to hear this on they
Speaker 3: called the Stardust Line, and Dave Cochin was was on
Speaker 3: there and he died this week. He had been battling
Speaker 3: terminal cancer for a while and there was a couple
Speaker 3: of great tributes on that I read. I mean, this
Speaker 3: guy had worked. He was also on one of those
Speaker 3: I think it was a Jim Feist TV show on
Speaker 3: the USA Network. He did that for over thirty years.
Speaker 3: But he was in Vegas from the nineteen eighties on
Speaker 3: and I remember him from the Stardust Line. I just
Speaker 3: loved it. And he did local radios. Well he did
Speaker 3: a show with Pete Rose.
Speaker 2: Oh ok, yeah, so, but I think that's where I
Speaker 2: know his name from.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he had a very unique voice. He Actually the
Speaker 3: funny thing about it is he got upset with me
Speaker 3: on Twitter on X over years ago over something I
Speaker 3: had posted, and he was like.
Speaker 2: Upset, It's just that sounds about right. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I didn't tell him. Hey, I used to listen to
Speaker 3: you when I was ten years old.
Speaker 2: Freaking Mallard guy.
Speaker 3: I didn't tell him that.
Speaker 2: But anyway, Now, when you heard him as a kid,
Speaker 2: was he yelling about he could earn you a boat?
Speaker 3: No, No, he wasn't that. He wasn't one of those guys,
Speaker 3: all right. He was like he tried to be like
Speaker 3: legit and all that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he was professional.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was surrounded by scumbags and losers and all that.
Speaker 3: And he said he put his first bet over first
Speaker 3: bet ever as a child on the American Hockey League's
Speaker 3: Providence Reds when he was a little kid grown up
Speaker 3: in the Northeast. And he rest in peace to Dave Cochin,
Speaker 3: a longtime Vegas radio guy and handicapper and someone I
Speaker 3: listened to as a kid on the radio on that
Speaker 3: Sunday night. It's always excited hear the Stardust line. Was
Speaker 3: always like a big deals I knew. I felt like
Speaker 3: I knew the lines before anyone else. I kind of did,
Speaker 3: because unless you were listening, and you didn't know the
Speaker 3: lines unless you were in Vegas. What a different world
Speaker 3: it was back then.
Speaker 2: Man, he would be so proud of you, you know,
Speaker 2: if you got to talk to him. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: What's going on with the negotiations or negotiations as you
Speaker 2: call them for your TV show? Because I feel like
Speaker 2: little Benny, those kind of radio shows planted the seed
Speaker 2: for your gambling talk on the radio and then TV.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it definitely influenced, definitely influenced things. And we'll hopefully
Speaker 3: have an update fingers crossed on Benny versus the Penny
Speaker 3: here very soon.
Speaker 2: And yeah, we're getting close.
Speaker 3: It's either pooper get off the pot here. Yeah, football
Speaker 3: kicked off back on Thursday, So.
Speaker 2: Come on NBC. There's more to life than basketball.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, exactly. Let's get to the idiom of the week.
Speaker 3: Idiom of the week, all right, the idium of the
Speaker 3: week is pony up. You ever use that? You got
Speaker 3: a pony up?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 2: Come on, you pull me up.
Speaker 3: Pay one's debt? Right, you owe me man? You got
Speaker 3: to pony up? Well. It was first printed in eighteen nineteen.
Speaker 3: This is in something called the Rural Magazine and Farmer's
Speaker 3: Monthly Museum claimed a favored gentleman was walking rapidly into
Speaker 3: the merchant tailor shops and very slowly out unless they
Speaker 3: ponied up the Spanish money. However, the phrase is much
Speaker 3: older than that, even though it was first printed in
Speaker 3: eighteen nineteen. According to the people over at Grammarist, the
Speaker 3: idiom goes back to the sixteenth century. It was actually
Speaker 3: derived from a Latin phrase taken out of the Bible
Speaker 3: that meant money down, but it sounded when translated like
Speaker 3: pony up. And they say that is off used and
Speaker 3: invoked on March twenty fifth. Why is that, you ask,
Speaker 3: I'll tell you because that once the was the the
Speaker 3: first payday of the financial calendar year. That's the date
Speaker 3: when debts were settled, which eventually led to the corruption
Speaker 3: of the phrase and made pony up the idiom meaning
Speaker 3: give me money. It's like when you go into Don
Speaker 3: Martin's office and say, hey, pony up. Man, Come on, man,
Speaker 3: you got a pony up? Man? You know who I am?
Speaker 3: You got a pony up?
Speaker 6: No pony up, mister Denver Bronco exactly. We'll get out
Speaker 6: on that. Have a wonderful Saturday. I'm looking forward to

Speaker 6: edition collectible. The key chains will be available tonight. I

Speaker 3: Baby Coh's birthday, big weekend here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wish I could be in Las Vegas. I
Speaker 2: wish it was a different weekend. Why did I have
Speaker 2: to have a kid?
Speaker 3: Well, you'll be thanking him when he's changing your diaper

Speaker 2: is on August fifth, but of course we're going to
Speaker 2: celebrate on the weekend here tomorrow.
Speaker 3: I could say that is his number.
Speaker 2: Man dude and Ben, he's already throwing tantrums. Sometimes he
Speaker 2: doesn't do it a lot, but when he gets really frustrated,
Speaker 2: he flails onto his back, rocks his head back into
Speaker 2: the carpet hard, kicks his heels into the carpet, and
Speaker 2: you hear a big thump. When I hear a thump downstairs,
Speaker 2: I'm like, uh uh, I mean, I thought that was
Speaker 2: terrible too. He's already acting like a two year old.
Speaker 2: He's a size of one now. Sometimes he's acting that way.
Speaker 2: So I'm praying that Sunday goes really smooth and there's
Speaker 2: nothing for him to get frustrated about. He's really good natured.
Speaker 2: Most of the time. He's smiling and laughing. But oh boy,
Speaker 2: if he's super hungry or angry or can't find a toy,
Speaker 2: he's looking for terrible two time, even though he's won.
