He's the last remnants 4 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He 5 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 6 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. 7 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: Wow. 8 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,319 Speaker 2: It's a clearing house of hot takes.

This 15 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 3: podcast heard every Friday, Saturday and Sunday throughout the entire 16 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 3: bleeping year. That's right. I could have said the bad word. 17 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 3: I want to try to avoid that. I'm in the 18 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 3: podcast studio, I'm on a hot microphone. But the difference, 19 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 3: of course we're not doing it a lot, so I 20 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 3: could bleep the stuff out. 21 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:10,279 Speaker 1: But it's a bad habit. 22 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 3: I've determined over the many years we've done the Fifth 23 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 3: Hour podcast that when I end up cursing on the podcast, 24 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 3: I end up cursing on the radio show, and I 25 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 3: almost actually cursed a couple of times in recent days. 26 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 3: Was the word is delirious. The word is delirious, sleep deprived, delirious. 27 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 3: These are first world problems to have, and I was 28 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 3: able to avoid actually cursing up, but I came close 29 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 3: enough where you knew what I was going to say. 30 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 3: You knew what I was planning on saying with the 31 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 3: bad word. And if you spend enough time on microphones, 32 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 3: if you get one of these jobs, you're lucky enough 33 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 3: to get one of these jobs. We're talking to microphones. 34 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 3: At some point you're going to be doing so many 35 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 3: different shows that you don't even know which way is up, 36 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 3: which way is down. It's bizarro world, bizarre world. But 37 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 3: today is the sixth day of December, Happy National Miner's Day. 38 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: It's one of the. 39 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 3: Most difficult and dangerous jobs possible. It takes a special 40 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 3: breed to be a miner, and it's like the family business. 41 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 3: I can make some good money doing that, but the 42 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 3: health problems and just the issue of being underground and 43 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 3: anything goes wrong, you know, it's lights out, which I 44 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 3: guess is true. And a lot of jobs, but it's 45 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 3: just more pronounced if you happen to be a miner, 46 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 3: and I remember I was a kid, it seemed like 47 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 3: every couple of months there was a mining catastrophe that 48 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 3: happened somewhere. People are trying to be rescued out of 49 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 3: a mine, and as many of those stories in recent years, 50 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 3: I'm also too big to be a miner. You got 51 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 3: to be of a certain height because it's not a 52 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 3: lot of room there, and I think I'm too tall 53 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 3: for that. It's National Pawnbroker's Day, so congratulations to all 54 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 3: the pawnbrokers that they used to love. Pond Stars. I 55 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 3: don't know if that's still on. That was a thing 56 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 3: in Vegas back, you know, years ago. I watched it 57 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 3: was on for a long time. Is that Rick Harrison 58 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 3: I think was the guy behind that. Yeah, so honeyway 59 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 3: it was some of the days holidays. Today, on this Friday, 60 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 3: as we wrapped up the week. On today's episode of 61 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 3: The Fifth Hour podcast, we've got blue Moon over the 62 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 3: Malad Militia back lot, Benny, foody fun, and the phrase 63 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 3: of the week. 64 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: So we'll start with this. 65 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 3: I had a fun week of shows, had a fun 66 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 3: week of shows. On the overnight, I had a great 67 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 3: time this week. It's been a bit of an adjustment 68 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 3: period over the last couple of weeks since the company 69 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 3: decided to pull axe Eddie. Eddie got whacked in that 70 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 3: massive company wide layoff thing that they did. And obviously 71 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 3: we've done the show together, me and Eddie for many, 72 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 3: many years. We had Eddie on this podcast. We did 73 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 3: very well. Eddie's people love Eddie. I love Eddie. We'd 74 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 3: worked together for so long that we had everything like 75 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 3: the back of our hand down like I had the 76 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 3: rhythm of the show, the motion of the ocean, if 77 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 3: you will here, That's not quite what I mean by that, 78 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 3: but anyway, we did the show a certain way, and 79 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 3: obviously things have changed dramatically. Eddie had been my sidekick. 80 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 3: I didn't talk that much on the show. 81 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: He didn't. 82 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 3: I mean there were times he would talk more. Sometimes 83 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 3: Eddie just didn't want to talk. I mean there were 84 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 3: times Eddie was just busy working on his own podcast 85 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 3: and wouldn't really. 86 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: Be paying attention. 87 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 3: But we played off each other and it was somebody 88 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 3: to play off of for me. And it's much different now. 89 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 3: Coop doesn't really talk that much. Loraina talks, but I 90 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 3: love Lorraina, but she's not like a big sports person. 91 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 3: So pretty much on my own now one man band, 92 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 3: solo act, and you can call me the jamis Winston 93 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 3: of the radio. 94 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: And so I've tweaked with some different things. I've fetched 95 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: around trying to get the right rhythm. 96 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 3: On the show, and I think we found something this 97 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 3: week that I'm going to play around with more as 98 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 3: we go forward here to try to find that edge. 99 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 3: And it does remind me in the early days when 100 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 3: I did the weekend overnight show. If you were with me, 101 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 3: I mean you're probably old now if you were listening 102 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 3: then that was a long time ago. She's twenty over 103 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 3: twenty years. But when I started out, I was by 104 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 3: myself and it was just me and the board op. 105 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 3: We didn't have live updates, and so it's kind of 106 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 3: what that was in a way, and I have to 107 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 3: kind of get back to that playbook in my head. 108 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 3: And so I am using the callers a little more 109 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 3: during the show. Certain callers. It's a double edged sword 110 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 3: because on one hand, it's exciting to we have some 111 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 3: new people that have called the show. It's also hit 112 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 3: and miss. As you know, the consumer of all of this, 113 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 3: some callers are bad to the bone, and some callers 114 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 3: are so bad that they actually become good. Like Gunner's terrible. 115 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 3: God does he suck as a caller, but he's so 116 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 3: bad he's good from the Walmart in northern Minnesota. And 117 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 3: then you've got hollering James who just screams and talks 118 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 3: about how many pills he takes a day, and Tammy 119 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 3: and Montana and then snores. That's his blueprint to a 120 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 3: phone call. But there are some that are just so 121 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 3: terrible they make your ears bleed. And so there's that 122 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 3: balance there. It's like you don't really know what you're 123 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 3: gonna get, and it's undependable. We had a really cool call. 124 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 3: It actually happened just a few hours ago. Recording this 125 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 3: early on Friday morning, but during the overnight hours the 126 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 3: Overnight show, Dave. If you were listening to the show 127 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 3: last night, Dave from the Commonwealth called up. 128 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: I forget what hour it was. I think it was 129 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: our three name it was our three. 130 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 3: He had spotted former MLB insider Peter Gammons at a 131 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 3: small liquor store in the Cape or on the Cape, 132 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 3: as they say, and so he wanted to call and 133 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 3: tell the story, and of course, you know, we were 134 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 3: listening to the wonderful tales of a random guy named Dave, 135 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 3: who was well spoken and said that Gammons was very nice. 136 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 3: Gamons at one point, if you don't know who Peter 137 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 3: Gammons is, like Lorraina. Peter Gammons like the man if 138 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 3: you're of a certain age. He was the original insider 139 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 3: guy for baseball. You got all your dirt from Peter Gammons, 140 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 3: all your rumors from Peter Gammons. And now that's everywhere, 141 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 3: but Peter was the beginning of that. He was the 142 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 3: forefather of what became the baseball information gurus, which are everywhere. 143 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 3: But anyway, so Gammons is old. Now he's semi retired. 144 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 3: I guess he pops up on MLB network. I've been 145 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 3: told some somewhat regularly, but he's he's not working. 146 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: All the time. 147 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 3: Anyway, So Dave regaled us with Gammons being at the 148 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 3: liquor store, the small little liquor store on the Cape 149 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,119 Speaker 3: when he was there, and he wanted us to guess 150 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 3: what alcohol Gammons was buying at the little liquor store, 151 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 3: And so we all guessed, and Larana didn't know who 152 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 3: Gammons was and all that. And it turned out that 153 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 3: according to Dave, and we have no reason to believe 154 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 3: or not believe Dave. He just said this, so we 155 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 3: want to believe him that it was a case of 156 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 3: blue moon. The game is very polite ordered the blue moon. 157 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 3: So it was a blue moon over the Mallard militia. 158 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 3: I love the call. I love the call. We need 159 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 3: more of that. And I was thinking as I was 160 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 3: getting ready for this podcast, I was kind of walking 161 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 3: into the studio, walking around a little bit here in 162 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 3: the studio, the podcast studio for the fifth hour, and 163 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 3: I was like. 164 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 1: Listen, this is what we need. 165 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 3: That is the lifeblood of what this show should be. 166 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 3: We got away from it for a while. I'd like 167 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 3: to get back to that. The essence of what we 168 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 3: have been in previous eras on this show, boots on 169 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 3: the ground, boots on the ground.

But they made a big deal. 422 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 3: They said that the there was a study done. This 423 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 3: is a study done by Chowhound, which is a food blog, 424 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 3: and the a study that online food delivery has become 425 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 3: a trillion dollar business. Now, shout out to Femi from 426 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 3: the Uber, each delivery driver and all the other fellas 427 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 3: that do this for a living, that deliver food. Many 428 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 3: of you while we are on the radio, people that 429 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 3: have the munchies, the late night munchies, and you will 430 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 3: help them out. However, how do you become a trillion 431 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 3: dollar business? Well, with every order, there are all kinds 432 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 3: of add on fees that take what should be rather 433 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 3: affordable food and make them unaffordable. According to the aforementioned blog, 434 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 3: Chowhound delivery services often include fees that are not immediately 435 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 3: known to the consumer. They range from service fees, to 436 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 3: small order fees, to even hire a menu prices compared 437 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 3: to in store purchases, and they found like the cheapest 438 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,679 Speaker 3: fast food chains in the US under ten dollars, but 439 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 3: it's rare to spend less than twenty dollars on a delivery. 440 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 3: Once you add in all the tax, the tip, the fees, 441 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 3: then all that supplied and there's all these. 442 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,120 Speaker 1: Hidden fees that are there. 443 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 3: They have the standard delivery charge, there's also that varies 444 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 3: based on distance, and there's a lot added on to 445 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 3: the final bill. And they did a study also comparing 446 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 3: the different delivery apps and the cost associated with all 447 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 3: of them. The study found that Postmates had the highest 448 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 3: markups the cost averaging ninety two percent higher than normal 449 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 3: menu prices. 450 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: So you've used Postmates, you're really your bougie. 451 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 3: Door Dash and grub Hub they were close behind mark 452 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 3: of eighty three and eighty percent, respectively, while Uber Eats 453 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 3: they had the lowest markup. So of the major food 454 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 3: delivery apps. Uber Eats their markup was sixty nine percent, 455 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 3: so which is not good, but compared to ninety two 456 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 3: percent by Postmates, you're you're getting out pretty good. According 457 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 3: to the story here, a basic order from Chick fil 458 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 3: A for nine dollars and eighty five cents can cost 459 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 3: up to twenty three dollars and one cent on grub hub. 460 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 3: And that's one hundred and thirty four percent markup. And 461 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 3: they say even at restaurants with lower markups like you know, Chipotle, Jersey, 462 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 3: Mike McDonald's delivery, they'll add forty four to seventy seven 463 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 3: percent of the cost of the. 464 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: Meal which I get. 465 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 3: I I have a relative, if I will not even 466 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 3: reveal what the branch of the family tree the relative 467 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 3: is in laws who always is ordering food, fast food 468 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 3: from delivery, and I don't say anything because I want 469 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 3: to be polite and I want to be a dick 470 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 3: in Dayton. 471 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: But it's like, what are you doing? You know, you're 472 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: just wasting your money. 473 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 3: I mean, if you're gonna get food delivery, you might 474 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 3: as well go high end food.

The origin 509 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 3: was attributed to like reptiles, like snakes are cold blooded, 510 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 3: other creatures that are cold blooded. 511 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 1: Which means you're emotionless. 512 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 3: You don't show, you don't let people see how you're 513 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 3: really feeling. You're calculated, you're cunning, and you're decision making 514 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 3: some even evil, some would say evil. 515 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 1: Right, you're cold blooded and. 516 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 3: Like a reptile, you know, like a snake or something 517 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 3: like that, and you're lacking warmer emotions. If you're warm blooded, 518 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 3: you have love, you have compassion, you have sympathy, concern, 519 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 3: all those things. 520 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: And so if you've got ice, water in your veins 521 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: or not like that. 522 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 3: Now, amazingly, the modern version of this, there's a kind 523 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 3: of a CD story about it, ceedy story about it, 524 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 3: and the phrase gained a lot of popularity with d 525 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 3: Angelo Russell of all people say why yeah Nick in Nebraska, 526 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 3: D'Angelo Russell NBA plush still plan. 527 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: The first time he was on the Lakers. He's back 528 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: on the Lakers now. 529 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 3: He's credited with popularizing the modern current TikTok version of 530 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 3: ice in the veins, and he would celebrate making a 531 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 3: big shot. He didn't make many of them by pretending 532 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 3: to shoot something into his veins. And he said that 533 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 3: his father often told him you have ice in your 534 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 3: veins when facing big moments, and that signified coolness underpression. 535 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 3: Now there's another darker Internet conspiracy that D'Angelo Russell. That's 536 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 3: partially true, but de' angelo Russell's father had a few 537 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 3: issues with the run ins with the law. 538 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: So there's there's an alternative reality. 539 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 3: You can use your imagination on what other people think 540 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 3: that actually means. But either way, that is the modern 541 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 3: version is because of D'Angelo Russell who popularized the term, 542 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 3: which is used on social media, and again it's been 543 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 3: around for a while. Originally it meant you were like 544 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 3: a cold blooded reptile and you didn't show any emotion. 545 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 3: You might have been evil, right, had ice in your 546 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 3: veins and. 547 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: All that stuff. 548 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 3: It was essentially sendonym the cold blooded or cold hearted 549 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 3: or something along those lines. All right, So I think 550 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 3: that's enough for today. 551 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: Right, that's enough. We got things to do.
