He's the last remnants 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:12.440 of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:15.480 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:17.440 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. 0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:18.360 Wow. 0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:22.280 It's a clearinghouse of hot takes. Break free for something special. 0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:29.520 The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in. 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:32.960 The air everywhere. 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:38.400 The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben Mallor and Danny g Radio. 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.800 Danny is on assignment, but he will join us this 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:45.320 weekend for the other podcast. We have podcasts every day. 0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:49.080 We are in the sweatshop of audio content here at 0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:55.920 the iHeartMedia Building today, the thirteenth day of September, as 0:00:55.960 --> 0:01:01.200 we hang out with you and this podcast celebrating National 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:01.920 Peanut Day. 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:02.560 I am a. 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:09.520 Big fan of the nuts. A big fan of the 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:13.319 nuts meaning peanuts by the way, and yeah, we celebrate 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.080 National Peanut Day. I've added that to my diet. Now. 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:17.840 I don't eat a lot. I eat once a day. 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:21.880 I'll skip a day now and again. But here's the thing, 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:28.080 the peanut. I enjoy the peanut. At the end of 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:30.440 my meal. I'll eat once a day. I usually eat 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.240 some like grilled chicken, or I'll eat some like ribbi 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:35.400 and rice or potatoes. 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:37.039 I have a very boring diet during the week. 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:39.959 I crank it up on the weekends and I'll have 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.720 like something I actually enjoy, Not that I don't enjoy 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.200 that stuff during the week, but I end my meal 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:46.800 after I'm done eating, I have a little cup of 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:50.000 nuts because it supposedly helps the peanuts help you lose weight. 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:56.000 Now that might be total bullshoy or bull junk or whatever, 0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:02.280 but I read it and I'm lying. Okay, I'm in 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.720 on it because I like peanuts. So I am celebrating 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:09.840 a National Peanut Day, not nuts. But enough of that, 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:11.560 let's get to it. 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:19.040 This podcast available everywhere, the Extra Crispy, Extra Spicy Podcast, 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:22.080 because four hours a night or not enough on the 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:25.000 Overnight show, eight days a week. This is not not 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:29.840 a sporty podcast. Not a sporty podcast. Once in a 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:34.560 blue moon. Once in a blue moon do we do sporty. Okay, 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:40.440 that is the reality of the situation. But this podcast 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.120 is all about random things and the Friday Podcast. I 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:48.120 have made an editorial decision that this podcast is a 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:55.239 companion podcast. It is right for a true TV officia 0:02:55.360 --> 0:03:00.560 not to watching the latest episode of BVP. Gotta get 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.280 used to saying that Benny versus the Penny, we shorten 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.920 it to BVP uh and so so think of it 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:11.520 like that. The Friday podcast will get you ready to 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.120 watch the TV show. And the numbers have been pretty 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.200 good so far, God bless you, and I really think 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.120 that it's because of this, Because of the podcast is 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.840 the radio show. I'm trying to incorporate you into the 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:28.760 to the ecosystem here and it appears so far, so good. 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.359 The ratings have been good for the TV show and 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.680 from what I understand on the streaming, the numbers have 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:35.240 been pretty good. 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:39.280 So but we can do better. We can do better. 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:40.960 You know, I want to. I want to be near 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:41.600 the top there. 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:44.560 So there's no question that they love the show and 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:47.800 there's people watching and everyone's happy and all that. 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.600 And so this is a companion podcast. 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:50.760 Now. 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:51.960 The reason we're going to call it that. 0:03:53.320 --> 0:04:00.320 It's a post episode debriefing for the Malord Militia, a 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:04.120 post episode to briefing for the Malamiche. It's the unofficial 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:10.280 official tie in podcast. The After Show which is a 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.760 whole I was looking this up. It's a whole subgenre 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:18.479 in entertainment and I was like, okay, so I have 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:24.720 the platform and I'll use the platform. Why not if 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:31.600 they if they do a Netflix show, then okay, they 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:35.240 have a Companion Podcast and I'm like, well, we have 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.880 a TV show, why don't we have that? So the 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:43.880 after show is this, and we'll give you episode breakdowns 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:49.919 of BVP. We'll have exclusive behind the scenes peaks at 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.880 this week's episode of Benny Versus the Penny. We'll have 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.680 all the plot twists, all the different theories on what's 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.640 gonna happen, which games I'm gonna pick, and whatnot around 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:01.960 the program and stuff that you will not hear anywhere else, 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:08.040 keeping the conversation going and hopefully encouraging you to watch 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.880 the TV show. And if you're already watching the show, 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.760 thank you. This will just be an added bonus. So 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:20.159 on this edition the Companion Pod, we've got Elvis or 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:26.520 the Ghost of Elvis, bloopers and practical jokes, pecock perfection, 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.640 the King of Random, and the Phrase. 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.000 Of the Week. 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.800 A lot to get to, but we'll start with this. 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:40.320 So this week's episode, which will be up later today 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:49.599 on the ENBC Sports regional cable networks around the United 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:53.960 States in syndication. You can watch this show on our hub. 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.200 The show is produced my guy Vinnie, who happens to 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:01.680 be Felger and Maz television producer, is the producer of 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.360 Benny Versus the Penny, and he's the guy that I 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.960 worked together with in meetings and what not to get 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.080 the show on the air. So Annie runs the show 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:13.839 in Boston and he's the guy there, and that's our hub. 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.719 So we've got NBC Sports Boston, NBC Sports San Francisco, 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:23.160 NBC Sports Network in Philadelphia, also streaming nationally on Peacock. 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:28.560 More on that in a minute. A Week two of. 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:35.480 BVP again just hours away, starting to find our groove, 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:37.080 starting to find our groove. 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:38.840 The first week was a little rocky. 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:42.839 Week two got a little better, and I thought, all 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:49.640 things considered, this was pretty neat this week. And I 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.039 got the least amount of sleep that I have ever 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:54.960 gotten prior to an episode of Benny Versus the Penny, 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:58.240 in part because of a schmooze cruise. 0:06:58.279 --> 0:06:59.279 I'm gonna tell that story. 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:04.320 I'm gonna save that for the Saturday podcast when Danny 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.640 g is back with me, but it involves an event 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.320 that I was asked to be at and it just 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:16.440 messed up my whole routine. But as far as we're concerned, 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.920 so kind of take it behind the scenes. So preparing 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:23.920 for the big show, this episode, unlike any other episode, 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:25.040 very memorable. 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.080 So I do the radio show as normal. 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:33.200 I show up to Universal Studios, Hollywood, and I am 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:38.239 dressed in my radio clothes. I used to change before 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.880 I would go to the Universal Studios lot, but I'm like, well, 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:43.080 I get there at an hour where there's no one 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.000 there and so I can do what I want. So 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.240 I show up. Now I'm that comfortable. I show up 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:52.440 in my radio clothes. I then go in and change 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:56.400 into my church clothes, my temple clothes, get all dulled 0:07:56.480 --> 0:08:00.960 up with makeup. We have the table read me and 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.320 Looney Tunes. Now Looney Tunes, as we talked about in 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.920 previous episodes of this podcast, Looney will show up. 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:08.200 And you know this if you've listened. 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:12.920 Loony shows up and he'd be a terrible Ninja or 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.880 he would be the worst James Bond a double O 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.320 seven imaginable because you always hear Looney before you see him, 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:23.920 you always hear him because he's always talking anybody in 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:28.120 the building, and he's memorizing people's names and making me 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:30.640 look bad and all that stuff. I recognize faces, but 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.800 I don't really remember names anyway. So Looney shows up, 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:36.160 We do the table read. I'm all dulled up. I'm 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.640 in my clothes, in my clown suit, and we go 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:43.720 into the studio. So sit down, got the IFB and 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:46.800 my left ear because that's my good ear. I've got 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:51.520 my microphone on, Get all prepared, set my notes up, 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:57.440 ready to go. Green screen behind me, lights, camera action. 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:04.679 Not so fast, my friend, Not so fast, my friend. 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:06.680 So I'm like, okay. 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:13.640 As we were about to turn the camera on and 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:15.720 we were in studio, we were about to start recording 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:19.559 the A block of our one of episode three, second 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.839 week of the NFL season. As we are doing this, 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:30.240 we start, well, let's just say, we start experiencing something 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:35.360 that was really weird. It was like the ghost of Elvis. 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:41.800 Elvis Presley visited the building. It was shake, rattle, and roll. 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:49.600 We had a four point seven earthquake in Malibubu. So 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:53.800 the cameras are shaken, the lights are rattling, the chair 0:09:54.080 --> 0:10:00.760 is rolling. We'd never lost connection to Ball, so the 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.640 line stayed up. We were still connected to Vinnie and 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.120 the people that produced the show at NBC Sports Boston, 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:10.760 So that was good. The other thing that freaked me out. 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:15.480 And I've never gotten this message before. And I live 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:19.960 in earthquake country, and I'm around earthquakes because I live here. 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.319 I've had many of them my entire life, and I'll 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:23.319 have many more. 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:24.440 If I keep going here. 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.880 But as the earthquake is happening, Looney says, we're having 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:33.120 an earthquake. Everything's shaken, you know, the whole thing. And 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:43.120 my phone starts buzzing Emergency alert, emergency alert text message. 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:44.480 I'm like, what the hell. 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:51.080 As the earthquake is happening, it says, earthquake detected, drop cover, 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:57.800 hold on, Protect yourself, USGS Shake Alert, USGS Shake Alert. 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.080 So as I am there preparing for the TV show 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:04.840 about to start the open saying hey, it's week three, 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:09.120 thanks for watching, blah blah blah blah blah, earthquake happens, 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.640 I get a text message at that moment. So Big 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:17.600 Brother is watching. They know where you are, and they 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.320 are ready to send you a message. And it reminded 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:27.520 me of years ago in Hawaii, Aloha, remember the story 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:31.280 that somebody effed up and they sent out a massive 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:36.520 text to everyone in Hawaii that said, if I remember correctly, 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:40.680 it was like ballistic missile threat inbound the Hawaii seek 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:41.720 immediate shelter. 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:43.000 This is not a drill. 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:50.000 And so that is a lesson that God forbid we 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.440 ever live and end times where armageddon actually happened and 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:57.680 one of these assholes sends military like nuclear bombs out 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:01.920 and destroys our world. That is how we will know 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:06.280 the world's about. Then we'll get a text message that Melissa, 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:08.840 missile coming inbound. That's how it's gonna go. You're gonna 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.960 get a message on your iPhone or your droid telling 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.240 you what's going on. Now. Anyway, with this, and we 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:20.840 did the show, and speaking of that bloopers and practical jokes. Now, 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.720 I bring this up because again, this is the official 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:29.280 Companion podcast who the debriefing of the mall of militia 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:31.600 behind the scenes stuff. So I'm giving you this and 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:33.480 I'm not sure if it's in the show. What I'm 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.240 about to tell you it might not be in the show. 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:37.400 And if it's not in the show. You can send 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.320 me a nasty message and say, hey, dumb ass, it 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.080 wasn't in the show, and I'll say, Okay, you're right, 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.120 I shouldn't have said that. But I haven't seen the 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:47.560 show because I've been so busy with the radio stuff 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:53.520 and preparing for this podcast. But I'm relatively confident, not 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:56.480 one hundred percent, but I'm relatively confident that we had 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:00.960 Looney Tunes Magic my favorite mom this weeks show. I'm 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.880 going to tell you exactly when it happened. Again, this 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:05.839 is I haven't seen the final cut, so it might 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:07.960 not have been there. But we were doing the Patriot 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:12.600 Seahawk game, which will be played on Sunday, and a 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:15.400 couple of teams that are off to one or no starts, 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.680 and I want you to listen to when Looney's there 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.600 and watch Looney because he's doing the commentary setting me 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:26.520 up to handicap the game. And it was in my 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:30.760 head comedy goal because Looney's trying to be mister, you know, 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:35.120 football guy, and he Looney's there for entertainment purposes only, 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.440 and he's trying to be the football guy. And he 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:41.800 said the thing you can't say at the time you 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:44.880 can't say it. I thought it came across as pretty funny. 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:47.680 I tried to clean up the spill on Aisle seven 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:49.800 from Tom. I was like, this is a spill on 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:53.160 Aisle seven. I better clean that up. So that'll be 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:57.000 on today's show. And remember the premiere episode for today's 0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:02.240 show on our flagship NBC Sports Boston is six pm, 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:05.200 right after Felger and Maz We're gonna really soak that. 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:08.640 We're really gonna enjoy that. Soak that up because once 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:13.040 the Celtics start playing, I'm guessing we're getting bumped. I'm 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:15.920 guessing we're gonna get bumped. But that's prime TV real estate. 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:23.400 It's also on NBC Sports Philadelphia tonight late night. Forget 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:27.080 those late night shows. It's eleven thirty tonight on NBC 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:28.200 Sports Philadelphia. 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:29.400 We'll be on there. 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:33.840 Also the first showing on regional cable television our friends 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:38.080 in San Francisco in the Bay Area on NBC Sports 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:42.320 Bay Area at twelve thirty pm this afternoon lunchtime.

And then 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:48.920 again at six pm, just before the Giants, the Higantas 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:52.760 take on the Pod Squad and they'll be pregame coverage 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:55.040 after that. But we are on at six o'clock and 0:14:55.080 --> 0:15:00.400 as always, streaming on Taycock. That's right, the show streaming 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:04.120 on Peacock now, with that as the perfect lead into 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:06.560 this Malor follow up. 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:08.080 Malard follow up. 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:13.520 Mentioned this in a previous episode of the show. There 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:17.360 was a bit of a quagmire, people complaining about the 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:24.160 access on Peacock to the show, the soft underbelly of BVP, 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:27.760 and if you missed last week's episode of the show 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:28.480 something like this. 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:31.160 It was a series of. 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.040 Emails saying, what do we want Benny versus the penny 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:38.240 on Peacock? When do we want it now? Well, your 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:44.320 voice was heard. Now you are about to hear the 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.760 rest of the story. It turns out that those chants 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.720 are accurate. There ain't no power like the power of 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:52.960 the people. Because the power of the people don't stop. 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:57.000 Say what if we don't get no BVP, you don't 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:00.280 get no peace? Well, good news. Let there be peace 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:05.240 and harmony in the world. I'm very proud of you 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:09.920 for complaining. I reached out to my contact at NBC, 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.760 one of the senior management guys who's a big part 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:17.880 of the show, who Tom called a consultant on last 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:22.400 week's episode. But his name is John wonderful man, great guy. 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:25.560 He used to work on the Philadelphia Phillies television broadcast. 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:27.640 He's told me some great stories about traveling with the 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:31.200 Phillies back in the day. They've had some crazy characters 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.320 and when he did it, they were pretty bad, pretty 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:37.360 bad Philadelphia Philly teams. But he's got great memories and 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:39.440 he shared a lot of those with me, you know, 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:41.640 a few times over the years. So that's pretty cool. 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:43.720 So I reached out to John. I'm like, hey, John, 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:47.560 we got a problem. Yeah, what's the problem? I said, Well, 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:49.760 you know, I'm promoting the crap out of this TV 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:51.760 show on the radio show. I'm trying to get people 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.520 to watch, you know, and I'm getting these people that 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.400 are complaining. They're like, I can't find it on Peacock 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.720 and I'm like, well, one guy even said he reached 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:03.520 out to customer service for Peacock and they said that 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:06.240 they don't carry the show. And I said, this is 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:08.200 making me look bad. And it's not even really about 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:10.159 making me look bad. It's just like it's you know, 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:13.960 it's bad customer service. And so Johnson, he said, you 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:16.040 know you're right, He says, I couldn't even find the 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:17.760 show and I work here and he's like a big 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:20.840 boss at NBCs. I couldn't find it. He says, I'll 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:22.560 tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna reach out 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:26.600 to I have a contact who's at that part of NBC. 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:30.680 I'm gonna reach out to them and hand a guy 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:34.879 within a few hours, John, I don't know what he 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:36.720 did by I kind of doing know what he did, 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:41.320 but he fixed it. He solved the conundrum. The quagmire 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:45.200 had ended, and it was one of those moments that's 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:48.760 a small thing and you're like, well, who really cares? 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:51.439 You know, It's like yeah, but it was a big deal. 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:55.520 It was very refreshing. And now Alf the Alien, Opiner 0:17:56.359 --> 0:18:00.000 and Ferg Dog and Terry in England and Late Night 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.520 Drug Tester and all you other guys that are pe ones. 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:06.920 Now all you all you boys Masshole Mickey that listen 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:09.200 to this show religiously and support what we do here. 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:14.000 Blind Scott trying to trying to think who else that 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:18.840 regular If I can only get the same service from 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:22.360 my friends that are corporate here at iHeart right, because 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:26.000 how long have we been trying to get that tire 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:29.320 rack commercial change, the one that says winter is coming, 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:31.680 that has been playing year round. 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:34.560 So I've had I've had no success. 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:38.600 I've sent multiple emails, I have sent text messages to 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:43.400 people that should know that don't know. It's it's it's 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:46.400 wild and crazy. It's wild and crazy. Well, we will 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:47.960 get that fixed. I guess we don't have to fix 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:53.760 it now because we're in September, it's almost fall, and then. 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:55.159 It's going to be winter before you know it. 0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:58.159 So I guess they just leave it in, just just 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:02.720 leave it right there, and and that's that right now. 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:06.639 The King of Random, the King of Random. So I 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:09.240 wanted to spend a few minutes on this now. Years ago, 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:12.040 there was a YouTuber I watched a fair amount of 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:15.600 YouTube stuff when I'm at the gym because I don't 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:18.120 have all the different streaming things on my phone other 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:20.320 than pretty much YouTube and like. 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:22.120 Amazon, and that's about it. 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.280 So anyway, I used to love this guy called the 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:28.520 King of Random, but unfortunately he's dead now. 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:30.920 He died years ago in a plane accident. 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:35.040 It was flying some as I remember, he was a pilot, 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:38.000 and then he became famous on YouTube. He made a 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:39.960 lot of money, so he stopped being a pilot. But 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:44.720 he was futzing around with an experimental plane, as I remember, 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:48.959 and turned out the plane was experimental for a reason, 0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:53.800 did not work, and unfortunately he died. 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:55.840 But he had a great YouTube channel. 0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:58.720 I think it's still around, but it's I haven't Once 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.879 he died, I watched it for him, and that was that. 0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:03.520 I'm sure there's good people on there. Now. 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:06.760 I assume I don't know, but I felt on this 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:11.960 random hole of inventions that weren't supposed to happen that 0:20:12.040 --> 0:20:15.399 have changed the world. And I'm into this kind of crap. 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:16.719 I'm into it. 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:19.520 I like this kind of stuff. Last week we talked 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:24.600 about the birthplace of the cheeseburger in Los Angeles, like Raindom, 0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:29.000 benign stuff like that. I mean, and you know, Danny's 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:31.360 not here today, but he'll be in tomorrow. He knows 0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:33.159 the same thing. We're both into that kind of stuff. 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:36.399 So with that said, here's a few that I found. 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:38.639 And some of these I knew. Some of these I 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:43.199 knew others not. Others were new to me, and I 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:44.959 thought I'd enjoy this. You might have heard some of these, 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:47.960 depending on how old you are, and how wise and 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:49.880 how savvy you are. You might have heard some of these, 0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:54.440 but I think you'll you'll still appreciate it. How about penicillin. 0:20:54.720 --> 0:21:00.600 Pennascillin was discovered by somebody named Alexander Fleming do that is, 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:06.960 but he was using some He was using a Petrie dish, 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:15.080 and some mold became contaminated and in the Petri dish, penicillin, 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:16.919 I think most of us know, is made out of 0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:21.160 moldy bread, and that turns out to be I'm allergic 0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:21.879 to penicillin. 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:24.480 But for many people it's been a game changer. 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:26.960 It's saved a lot of people lives, and it was 0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:31.840 discovered on accident when mold accidentally contaminated the Petri dish. 0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:37.600 The chocolate chip cookie, the epitome of a cookie is 0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:43.439 the chocolate chip cookie, created by the lovely Ruth Wakefield 0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:47.919 in the Commonwealth, who accidentally added chocolate chunks to cookie 0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:51.840 dough and the rest is history. All these years later, 0:21:52.359 --> 0:21:56.360 the chocolate chip cookie. The microwave oven was invented by 0:21:56.359 --> 0:22:01.040 this guy named Percy Spencer. After a radar melted his 0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:04.000 delicious chocolate bar that he was waiting to eat in 0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:05.639 his pocket. He went to eat the chocolate bar and 0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:07.440 all of a sudden it was melted. Like, wait a minute, 0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:10.600 we got something here, And sure enough, most homes have 0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:19.200 a microwave. Velcro Velcrow was inspired when Burrs stuck to 0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:24.199 this dude's clothing and it inspired him to create what 0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:28.440 became velcro. Coca cola is a famous one. Coca Cola 0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:32.800 was invented by a pharmacist in Georgia who was trying 0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:38.359 to create a headache remedy and had some cocaine in 0:22:38.400 --> 0:22:43.000 there and this tastes pretty good. Yeah, all these years later, 0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:46.679 they don't drink as much coca cola the unwashed, but 0:22:46.880 --> 0:22:48.640 still selling a lot of coke products. 0:22:48.840 --> 0:22:51.520 Potato chips, how about this one. I didn't know this one. 0:22:51.520 --> 0:22:55.880 Potato chips invented by somebody named George Crumb. And how 0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:59.920 did that go? Some customer was a schmuck and complained 0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:03.680 that his fries were too thick. So this guy, George 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:05.520 Crumbs like, all right, you know what I'm gonna show you. 0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:08.520 I'm gonna cut these potatoes so thin. And then Cia 0:23:08.640 --> 0:23:11.400 liked those, buddy, and then that became the potato chip. 0:23:12.119 --> 0:23:12.439 Teta. 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:19.920 You have vulcanized rubber Charles Goodyear. What a great name, Goodyear, 0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:24.920 Charles Goodyear. Thank god he didn't have a crap last name. 0:23:25.160 --> 0:23:29.879 That Goodyear brand all these years later, still very popular anyway, 0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:36.000 Charles Goodyear accidentally dropped rubber and sulfur onto a hot 0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:43.000 stove and abracadabra hocus pocused vulcanized rubber, just like that 0:23:43.160 --> 0:23:47.840 vulcanized rubber. There's some others, but those are some of 0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:50.560 the things here. That's from the you know, the rabbit 0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:56.320 hole in tribute and omah to that late YouTuber. 0:23:55.880 --> 0:23:59.520 The King of Random, the King of Random. 0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:03.399 All right, we've got to get to this. It is 0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:07.440 very important. The idiom. Actually no, the phrase the phrase 0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:07.920 of the week. 0:24:07.960 --> 0:24:12.560 I the phrase of the week. 0:24:11.320 --> 0:24:15.480 All right, praise of the week without breaking a stride. 0:24:15.800 --> 0:24:19.440 This is from an emailer, Murray D says, Hi, Ben 0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:22.680 and Danny G. I was wondering where the phrase get 0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:32.280 out of Dodge comes from. That is Murray D, signed Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Murray, 0:24:32.320 --> 0:24:33.919 you have reached out to us a few times over 0:24:33.920 --> 0:24:38.239
