WEBVTT - The Fifth Hour: Moon Over the Militia 0:00:00.880 --> 0:00:01.600 Kabooms. 0:00:02.440 --> 0:00:05.560 If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes 0:00:05.559 --> 0:00:09.360 a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants 0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:12.640 of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:15.680 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:17.640 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. 0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:18.520 Wow. 0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:21.319 It's a clearing house of hot takes. Break free for 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:30.800 something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. 0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:34.840 In the air everywhere, The Fifth Hour with me, Ben 0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:38.440 Maller and Danny g Radio hanging out with you. 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:41.000 On a Friday morning. 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:46.280 Here we are together again because the overnight show not 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:49.680 and off as we are in the air everywhere. This 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:55.240 podcast heard every Friday, Saturday and Sunday throughout the entire 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:58.800 bleeping year. That's right. I could have said the bad word. 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.320 I want to try to avoid that. I'm in the 0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:06.200 podcast studio, I'm on a hot microphone. But the difference, 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:07.679 of course we're not doing it a lot, so I 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:08.800 could bleep the stuff out. 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:10.279 But it's a bad habit. 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.320 I've determined over the many years we've done the Fifth 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:20.560 Hour podcast that when I end up cursing on the podcast, 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:22.640 I end up cursing on the radio show, and I 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.679 almost actually cursed a couple of times in recent days. 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:31.880 Was the word is delirious. The word is delirious, sleep deprived, delirious. 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:35.280 These are first world problems to have, and I was 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.440 able to avoid actually cursing up, but I came close 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:39.040 enough where you knew what I was going to say. 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:42.120 You knew what I was planning on saying with the 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:45.640 bad word. And if you spend enough time on microphones, 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:48.400 if you get one of these jobs, you're lucky enough 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.200 to get one of these jobs. We're talking to microphones. 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.640 At some point you're going to be doing so many 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:57.640 different shows that you don't even know which way is up, 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:01.120 which way is down. It's bizarro world, bizarre world. But 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:05.440 today is the sixth day of December, Happy National Miner's Day. 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:06.280 It's one of the. 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:11.359 Most difficult and dangerous jobs possible. It takes a special 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:16.840 breed to be a miner, and it's like the family business. 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:18.880 I can make some good money doing that, but the 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:24.720 health problems and just the issue of being underground and 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:29.640 anything goes wrong, you know, it's lights out, which I 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.519 guess is true. And a lot of jobs, but it's 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:35.959 just more pronounced if you happen to be a miner, 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:37.920 and I remember I was a kid, it seemed like 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:42.080 every couple of months there was a mining catastrophe that 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.520 happened somewhere. People are trying to be rescued out of 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:48.880 a mine, and as many of those stories in recent years, 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.960 I'm also too big to be a miner. You got 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.160 to be of a certain height because it's not a 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.640 lot of room there, and I think I'm too tall 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:02.920 for that. It's National Pawnbroker's Day, so congratulations to all 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.799 the pawnbrokers that they used to love. Pond Stars. I 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:08.600 don't know if that's still on. That was a thing 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:11.400 in Vegas back, you know, years ago. I watched it 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.960 was on for a long time. Is that Rick Harrison 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:18.000 I think was the guy behind that. Yeah, so honeyway 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:21.359 it was some of the days holidays. Today, on this Friday, 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:26.360 as we wrapped up the week. On today's episode of 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:30.880 The Fifth Hour podcast, we've got blue Moon over the 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:36.360 Malad Militia back lot, Benny, foody fun, and the phrase 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:37.360 of the week. 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:38.200 So we'll start with this. 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.520 I had a fun week of shows, had a fun 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.160 week of shows. On the overnight, I had a great 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.440 time this week. It's been a bit of an adjustment 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.480 period over the last couple of weeks since the company 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:53.040 decided to pull axe Eddie. Eddie got whacked in that 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:58.800 massive company wide layoff thing that they did. And obviously 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.200 we've done the show together, me and Eddie for many, 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.520 many years. We had Eddie on this podcast. We did 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:08.600 very well. Eddie's people love Eddie. I love Eddie. We'd 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:12.200 worked together for so long that we had everything like 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.040 the back of our hand down like I had the 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:19.920 rhythm of the show, the motion of the ocean, if 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.599 you will here, That's not quite what I mean by that, 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.520 but anyway, we did the show a certain way, and 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:29.719 obviously things have changed dramatically. Eddie had been my sidekick. 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.359 I didn't talk that much on the show. 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:33.880 He didn't. 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.360 I mean there were times he would talk more. Sometimes 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.160 Eddie just didn't want to talk. I mean there were 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.560 times Eddie was just busy working on his own podcast 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:42.760 and wouldn't really. 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:43.240 Be paying attention. 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.400 But we played off each other and it was somebody 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:50.920 to play off of for me. And it's much different now. 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:55.120 Coop doesn't really talk that much. Loraina talks, but I 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.880 love Lorraina, but she's not like a big sports person. 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.919 So pretty much on my own now one man band, 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:04.000 solo act, and you can call me the jamis Winston 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:05.760 of the radio. 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:10.080 And so I've tweaked with some different things. I've fetched 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.680 around trying to get the right rhythm. 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.159 On the show, and I think we found something this 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:17.800 week that I'm going to play around with more as 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:21.279 we go forward here to try to find that edge. 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.600 And it does remind me in the early days when 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.200 I did the weekend overnight show. If you were with me, 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.279 I mean you're probably old now if you were listening 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:32.080 then that was a long time ago. She's twenty over 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.080 twenty years. But when I started out, I was by 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.479 myself and it was just me and the board op. 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:41.800 We didn't have live updates, and so it's kind of 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:43.800 what that was in a way, and I have to 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:47.040 kind of get back to that playbook in my head. 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.400 And so I am using the callers a little more 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.919 during the show. Certain callers. It's a double edged sword 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.640 because on one hand, it's exciting to we have some 0:05:57.720 --> 0:05:59.400 new people that have called the show. It's also hit 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:03.360 and miss. As you know, the consumer of all of this, 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:08.359 some callers are bad to the bone, and some callers 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:11.960 are so bad that they actually become good. Like Gunner's terrible. 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:14.599 God does he suck as a caller, but he's so 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:18.000 bad he's good from the Walmart in northern Minnesota. And 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:21.920 then you've got hollering James who just screams and talks 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.680 about how many pills he takes a day, and Tammy 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:29.279 and Montana and then snores. That's his blueprint to a 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.760 phone call. But there are some that are just so 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.520 terrible they make your ears bleed. And so there's that 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:36.920 balance there. It's like you don't really know what you're 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:41.800 gonna get, and it's undependable. We had a really cool call. 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:45.080 It actually happened just a few hours ago. Recording this 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:49.560 early on Friday morning, but during the overnight hours the 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:53.599 Overnight show, Dave. If you were listening to the show 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:55.720 last night, Dave from the Commonwealth called up. 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:57.360 I forget what hour it was. I think it was 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.720 our three name it was our three. 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:05.760 He had spotted former MLB insider Peter Gammons at a 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:09.000 small liquor store in the Cape or on the Cape, 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:10.800 as they say, and so he wanted to call and 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:12.840 tell the story, and of course, you know, we were 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:16.840 listening to the wonderful tales of a random guy named Dave, 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:21.200 who was well spoken and said that Gammons was very nice. 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:22.560 Gamons at one point, if you don't know who Peter 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.520 Gammons is, like Lorraina. Peter Gammons like the man if 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.160 you're of a certain age. He was the original insider 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.760 guy for baseball. You got all your dirt from Peter Gammons, 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.680 all your rumors from Peter Gammons. And now that's everywhere, 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:35.960 but Peter was the beginning of that. He was the 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:42.000 forefather of what became the baseball information gurus, which are everywhere. 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:44.560 But anyway, so Gammons is old. Now he's semi retired. 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.080 I guess he pops up on MLB network. I've been 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:51.800 told some somewhat regularly, but he's he's not working. 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:52.320 All the time. 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:56.120 Anyway, So Dave regaled us with Gammons being at the 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.320 liquor store, the small little liquor store on the Cape 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.119 when he was there, and he wanted us to guess 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:05.720 what alcohol Gammons was buying at the little liquor store, 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:10.400 And so we all guessed, and Larana didn't know who 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.520 Gammons was and all that. And it turned out that 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.240 according to Dave, and we have no reason to believe 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:17.480 or not believe Dave. He just said this, so we 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.120 want to believe him that it was a case of 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:24.480 blue moon. The game is very polite ordered the blue moon. 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:27.640 So it was a blue moon over the Mallard militia. 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.360 I love the call. I love the call. We need 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:34.040 more of that. And I was thinking as I was 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.360 getting ready for this podcast, I was kind of walking 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.760 into the studio, walking around a little bit here in 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.600 the studio, the podcast studio for the fifth hour, and 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:42.079 I was like. 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:44.079 Listen, this is what we need. 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.040 That is the lifeblood of what this show should be. 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:49.840 We got away from it for a while. I'd like 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.120 to get back to that. The essence of what we 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:56.520 have been in previous eras on this show, boots on 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.960 the ground, boots on the ground. And I have said 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.600 for years, and I know for a fact I've met 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:07.480 many of the major insiders in all the sports world 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:11.520 that I'm I'm not ragging. I've known them over the 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.000 years because the website. That it mostly because of the website. 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:19.160 Even Peter Gammons was a fan of my website, which 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:20.000 is kind of cool. 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:21.400 But here's the thing. 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.360 A lot of the dirt, it's a dirty little secret, 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:32.440 does not come from executives or it doesn't come from agents. 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.440 Now some of it does, but much of the stuff 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.679 that blows you away comes from people that work at hotels, 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:43.600 that are valets at hotels, people that end up working 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:47.840 jobs like you know, driving used to be taxi cabs 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:53.600 or limos still limos, but the ubers and bartenders and 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.600 we had a good network at one point in the 0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:00.200 early days of dudes that were would give us some 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.360 some intel and let me know what was going on. 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.360 I had my website, I had people emailing me. 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:05.839 We had. 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.040 It was insane how many different sources I had that 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.600 were just regular people but new stuff because they were 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:15.760 living their life and work at a barbershop and some 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.880 quarterback comes in the barber shop and starts telling you stories. 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:19.679 You pass it on. 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:23.160 I remember we had a paparazzi guy in the early 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.360 days from LA and this actually goes back to local 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:27.440 radio and. 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:30.040 The Chicago Bulls were the big star team. 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.760 Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and the Bulls would come to 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:34.840 LA twice a year to play the Clippers and the Lakers, 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.440 and then occasionally they did play in the finals in 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:42.360 that period of time, Lakers and Bulls. But the buddy 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.560 a front of the show is a paparazzi guy, and 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.120 he would give us updates about the Bulls players going 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.840 out in the Sunset Strip in Hollywood. And Scottie Pippen 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.200 was always every time they'd come to La. They had 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.680 a reputation no tipping, pipping. It was like, well Pippen 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:58.679 was at so and so the whiskey of Go Go 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.320 or whatever it was and didn't hip, and. 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:03.160 We'd get these stories. It was great. 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.160 And Scotty lives in La now, which is even better. 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:08.280 But we also had years ago, we had a guy 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.560 from Raising Kings not that long ago, who told us 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:15.160 that Kirk Cousins would go in there. He worked at 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.920 a Raisin Kings right near the Vikings facility, and Cousins 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:23.679 would going there and ended up ordering the chicken fingers 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.040 on his way home, you know. And I remember we 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:29.640 did a rant because Tom Brady eats avocado ice cream 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:30.679 and this, that and the other thing. 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:31.840 We had Kirk Cousins. 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:35.480 The juxtaposition of Kirk Cousins who's like the normal dude, 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:38.520 just going in there after work, eating some chicken fingers 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:42.720 on his way home. But these are the hemoglobin of 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:46.680 the show. I mean it just keep them coming. We've 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:51.040 had people at Super Bowls. Fortunately recently I've been allowed 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.000 to go to Radio Row, but for years I was 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.600 not allowed at Radio Row. But we would have people 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.680 that were at the Super Bowl, boots on the ground 0:11:59.160 --> 0:11:59.800 who would. 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:00.000 Give a story. 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:03.160 So I have really enjoyed the blue mood over the 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:07.400 mal of Militia thanks to Dave from the Commonwealth. And 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:11.440 if you just see anything, you hear anything, let me know, 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.679 call up or send me an email and we'll have 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:18.200 some fun with that. Now, today is the beginning of 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:24.079 week fourteen for our purposes Benny Versus the Penny. 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:25.199 The season is. 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:28.760 Zooming by and you'll find out how I did last 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:33.160 weekend if you watched episode from week thirteen, the episode. 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:33.520 From week thirteen. 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:39.240 Things are turning around. Things are turning around. How much 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:42.880 they're turning around. You will have to pay close attention 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.240 as I attempt to beguile. 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:46.880 The Penny. 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:52.319 I attempt to take down the Penny, and with my 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:58.600 charm and my trickery, I will swindle the Penny and I. 0:12:58.559 --> 0:12:59.960 Will end up winning. By the end of the year. 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:02.400 There's only a few weeks to go in the regular season, 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.920 so I better pick my act up. It's been a 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.600 really pathetic year for the most part. But the great 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:11.400 thing about this is it's a season long journey and 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:13.959 there is still time. If I absolutely kill it these 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:16.640 last few weeks of the season, by the time the 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:20.520 season ends, my record will look amazing and I will 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:23.320 be in really good shape, really good shape, and no 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.199 one will remember how bad I was in. 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:26.320 Week three or week four. 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:29.800 So we do these videos and it'll be up here 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.600 in a little bit this afternoon evening, depending on where 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:34.679 you are in the country. We do these promo videos 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.720 for Benny Versus the Penny, Whereas just after we tape 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:42.840 the show, myself and Looney, we'll just wander around the 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.839 back lot at Universal Studios, and it's one of those 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:50.480 pinch yourself situations every week where you're like, wait a minute, 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:53.599 did we break in here? We don't belong here, And 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:57.960 we just wander around, walk in different sound stages that 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:01.080 are the doors are open, and we walk into different 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:02.600 buildings and we have a past. 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.319 We're allowed to be there, and this. 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:10.160 Week was the coolest experience we've had yet. Now we've 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:13.679 been in front of some famous from some famous sound 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:15.880 stages at Universal Studios on the back lot where they've 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.840 done some amazing shows that have been really important parts 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:22.000 of American pop culture. But to me, this week, the 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:25.200 video that's going to go up this afternoon, I want 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:28.080 your feedback on this. You're getting kind of the inside 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.960 skinny here because you're listening to the podcast, but. 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:32.680 The video I'll put it up late in the afternoon. 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:38.760 The video was so cool because we went in a 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:42.880 part of Universal Studios that is my favorite part of 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.200 every movie studio I've been lucky enough to work out. 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:47.720 We worked at the Fox lot in the early days 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:49.960 of Fox Sports Radio. We had studios over there in 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:53.200 West LA on the Peakot lot, and that was awesome 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.120 and I have so many fond memories. 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.280 Some of the greatest memories in my years in the 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:58.720 business were. 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.120 On the Fox lot, and so year I had a 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.680 similar experience at Universal. 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:05.640 And I don't want to give too much away. 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:09.400 I think when you see the video, you'll know, Man, 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:13.680 that's like really cool, Like that's that's real Hollywood, right, 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.800 That's that's what Hollywood, That's what movies are all about. 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:20.080 So that that's today, that's backlot Benny and Looney. I 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.680 realized I should be just promoting the TV show. That 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.400 that's really what I should be promoting. And I'm promoting 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:31.320 a video that will promote the TV show, so indirectly 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.640 by getting you to watch said video, I am then 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:37.080 getting you to watch. 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.920 The TV show. You see what I'm You see what 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:42.360 I'm doing there. Yeah. 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:46.360 I would also like to point out that for our purposes, 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:54.520 the most important affiliate is NBC Sports Boston. Now, the 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:59.960 Celtics are playing. Unfortunately they play early. Celtics play early 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:05.120 today and I think, well, I guess I played at 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.680 seven thirty. But we're our first running of Benny Versus 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:11.920 the Penny is not till tonight at eleven thirty tonight 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:16.680 on NBC Sports Boston.

And if you 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:52.960 happen to be in phil Ladelphia, Benny Versus the Penny 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:56.640 will be on tonight at eleven o'clock and you can 0:16:56.720 --> 0:17:00.440 check that out on NBC Sports Philadelphia on after birds Huddle. 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.760 After the birds Huddle, we'll be on and again all weekend. 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:07.359 And we're on in La on the Lakers cable channel 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:12.560 and that air is all day on Saturday and on Sunday. 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.400 So the show's going well and hopefully you can continue 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:19.000 to watch it and you'll be on Peacock. And if 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.960 you watch the TV show on cable, that's great watching 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:22.640 on Peacock. 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:24.280 Tell a friend, even if they. 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.920 Don't like me, if they if they have the Peacock 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.800 thing and they they can turn it on and walk away. 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:32.840 I don't care. I don't care. All right, let's have 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:37.800 some foody fun, foody fun. Let's do it. 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:43.439 These are some new food items that have popped up 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:45.960 the good folks over Jack in the Box. Now, this 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.600 is not a national chain, it's a regional chain. Jack 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:51.560 in the Box. It's mostly in the West, but it's 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:56.680 spread its tentacles further east. Jack in the Box testing 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:58.960 a new burrito filled. 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:03.159 With noodles, good or bad? Good or bad? 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:09.439 Yeah, I would say bad because the noodle is a 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:16.200 cousin of the rice and beans, which are great fillers. 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:21.639 So if I read this right, eight bucks for a 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:25.720 burrito at Jack in the Box filled with with noodles, 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.840 which is I always get bothered. 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:31.119 I don't eat too many burritos. I'm more of a 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:32.000 crunchy taco guy. 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:35.680 The green Goat taco taco's dorado, I believe is what 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:39.560 they're called. But anyway, mostly mostly rice in burritos. But 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:42.480 eight bucks for noodle, I mean the same concept. It's filler, 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:45.040 get people to pay, throw a little meat in there, 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:49.240 but mostly filler. You're good to go. So I don't 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:51.320 think that's for me, but if you're into that kind 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:55.280 of thing, you check it out. Miller High Life is 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:59.719 selling a dive bar inspired cologne. 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:01.240 Yeah. 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.119 Now, we have talked about this in previous episodes of 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:08.359 the Fifth Hour podcast with myself, Ben and Danny g Radio. 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:09.680 This is one of the. 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:16.080 Great marketing money grabs stunts that you can possibly pull 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:20.320 off and Miller highlight that they're selling, you know, the 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:23.520 gimmick dive bar cologne which sells out right away. We 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:26.560 talked about that story, I think it was last episode 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:33.240 about the McDonald's company selling the McRib sauce, like gallons 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:36.600 of McRib sauce that's sold out within seconds. KFC has 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:39.320 done a bunch of these over the years, and they 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:41.919 charge a lot. They make a limited edition, so they 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:46.480 put a limited amount a product out there and they 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:51.760 sell tons of them. They do an absolute killing the 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:53.800 drink of water. 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:59.000 But the people that are hardcore fans your product, they 0:19:59.080 --> 0:19:59.560 eat it up. 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.840 I gotta get in this right, I gotta what could 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:06.800 I do?
