Speaker 1: Kubbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 3: In the air everywhere, The Fifth Hour with Me big
Speaker 3: Man and Danny g Radio and a Happy Friday to you.
Speaker 3: We kick off the weekend here on what is the
Speaker 3: fourteenth day of the month of June. And I'm wrapping
Speaker 3: myself in the flag today, Danny, because today is Flag
Speaker 3: Day and I'm literally wrapped in the American flag right
Speaker 3: now celebrating Flag Day. Wave your flag and you should
Speaker 3: be too. And if you're not celebrating Flag Day, bad
Speaker 3: job by you. Day. Most people think like Flag Day
Speaker 3: is like fourth or the Life. No, it's its own day,
Speaker 3: and today's the day celebrate appropriately.
Speaker 1: How fitting that it kicks off Father's Day weekend because
Speaker 1: us dads know how to represent where we live.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, listen, you have to represent. That's the way
Speaker 3: to do it now. Most people, when they're patriotic, they're
Speaker 3: only patriotic for the Olympics or if we're at war,
Speaker 3: but it seems like we're always at war with someone.
Speaker 3: But yeah, there's all kinds of different events. This goes
Speaker 3: back Flag Day. The first flag was created in America
Speaker 3: for like seventeen seventy six, but it wasn't until nineteen
Speaker 3: sixteen that President Woodrow Wilson recognized Flag Day. And although
Speaker 3: the celebration actually goes back to like the seventeen hundreds,
Speaker 3: but the first present dayel decree was Woodrow Wilson in
Speaker 3: nineteen sixteen. So June fourteenth is It's like I vaguely
Speaker 3: remember it when I was in elementary school, but I
Speaker 3: don't think I've thought about Flag Day since elementary school.
Speaker 3: And is this related, Danny? That Flag Day coincides with
Speaker 3: National Bourbon Day, so you can also celebrate National Bourbon Day.
Speaker 3: Get the corn, the limestone, the white oak, the fire
Speaker 3: and boom. One of my nicknames at one point was
Speaker 3: Benny Bourbon. That's false, No, No, I mean somebody sent
Speaker 3: a comment on social media.
Speaker 1: Same person who calls you moneyball Mallard.
Speaker 3: Well that's everyone who's seen you shoot the ball. I mean,
Speaker 3: come on, anyway on this podcast, we've got it's banana, Benny.
Speaker 1: What about throwing ax?
Speaker 3: Swimming with the dolphins? Hey, that was ill advised video
Speaker 3: that was altered by that schmuck Nick and Wisconsin some
Speaker 3: of those other losers that with the Mallor meet and greet.
Speaker 3: But those that saw the rest of the video. It's
Speaker 3: like when you go to a courtroom, Danny, and they
Speaker 3: show you misleading evidence. That was misleading evidence wrong. It's
Speaker 3: a deep fake, is what that was. We have swimming
Speaker 3: with the dolphins, the phrase of the week and foody fun,
Speaker 3: and we'll see if we get to all that. Usually
Speaker 3: we don't. Usually we don't. We'll see if we can
Speaker 3: do that here on this Friday. So we'll kick off
Speaker 3: the weekend with this. We haven't done this in a while.
Speaker 3: What is this announcer?
Speaker 1: You know what?
Speaker 3: It's the Malor Food Reviewed, The Mallard Food Review Food Review.
Speaker 1: So you actually got off of your fast and you
Speaker 1: ate something I did.
Speaker 3: I did and I rare appropriate, Danny rare inappropriate. The
Speaker 3: Big Bertha of desserts, the much talked about, much analyzed,
Speaker 3: much discussed dessert of desserts. That would be the Kirkland
Speaker 3: brand banana cream pie from your local Costco.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, I heard about that. I heard about it firsthand,
Speaker 1: a view because she only looked at it. My wife
Speaker 1: the last time she was at Costco. She told me
Speaker 1: she was so close to putting it in her cart,
Speaker 1: but she didn't do it.
Speaker 3: Gotta do it, gotta do it. I did it. I
Speaker 3: did it now full disclosure. I did go to Costco
Speaker 3: originally a couple weeks back to get the pie. I
Speaker 3: had seen something in preparation for this podcast on the
Speaker 3: Foody Fun thing that we do, and I saw that
Speaker 3: they had it. I think we mentioned it on the show,
Speaker 3: and so I went to my local Costco. They didn't
Speaker 3: have it, but I went back and I was like,
Speaker 3: I really want some banana cream pie. So they had it.
Speaker 3: I got it this thing early. A couple of notes,
Speaker 3: A couple of notes early on. Here this thing three
Speaker 3: and a half pounds of p three and a half
Speaker 3: pounds by now. It's not cheap, but nothing's cheap these days.
Speaker 3: It's sixteen dollars. But I'm told that's actually a good
Speaker 3: price for a pie. Is that a good price for
Speaker 3: a pie? Danny. I don't normally buy pie, so I'm
Speaker 3: not sure if that's a good price for a pie.
Speaker 3: That seems kind of expensive. But it's three and a
Speaker 3: half pounds.
Speaker 1: Yeah it sounds okay. I mean, I don't know either.
Speaker 1: The last time I bought a pie, it was probably
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you were, you know, were about thirty years old,
Speaker 3: nineteen sixty four, so that makes sense. But it was
Speaker 3: thirty seven cents. Yeah, I understand. So this thing three
Speaker 3: and a half pounds. That's the first thing gets your attention.
Speaker 3: It's the girth of the pie. It's very large, thick pie.
Speaker 3: It's but it's it's light and fluffy at the same time.
Speaker 3: It's got if you love banana cream filling, it's got
Speaker 3: it boom done, tons of it, a caramel whip topping
Speaker 3: on top.
Speaker 1: You know, my nickname is Gurth Brooks, so I think
Speaker 1: I would love this.
Speaker 3: It's that's when you worked over Insworth. I think that
Speaker 3: was your nickname. But it's also got a butter gram
Speaker 3: cracker crust. So that's delicious. Uh. And they say in
Speaker 3: the reviews it says decadent caramel drizzle. I didn't find
Speaker 3: it decadent. I found it, okay, I didn't know. I didn't.
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know that I would use the
Speaker 3: word decadent. But it did have caramel drizzle. And this
Speaker 3: is the first ever sojourn by Costco into the banana
Speaker 3: cream pie world. And I ate first time I bought,
Speaker 3: I ate eight apiece. I was like, you know, it's okay,
Speaker 3: and then I kept, you know, not one bite. I
Speaker 3: kept going back and but anyway, get to the grade,
Speaker 3: so mallard.
Speaker 1: Really quick, yes, yes, Do you eat your pie cold
Speaker 1: out of the fridge or at room temperature?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: It I like a cool pie right out of the fridge.
Speaker 3: I like a cool I don't like room temperature.
Speaker 1: I'm the same.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So Malar Food Grade one to ten ten would
Speaker 3: be the Ben Malick Chicken Finger at the Landing in Liberty, Missouri,
Speaker 3: just down the road from where the Chiefs play at
Speaker 3: Arrowhead Stadium. And this was a solid eight point zero
Speaker 3: on the Malar Food Grade Malur Food Review. Banana Benny
Speaker 3: you can call me that if you want banana Benny
Speaker 3: who I will warn you if you're not a fan
Speaker 3: of the whip topping, this is not for you.
Speaker 2: I liked it.
Speaker 3: I enjoy a nice whip topping, and this gave you
Speaker 3: tons of it. I would have I would have liked
Speaker 3: a couple of chunks of banana. It was banana cream,
Speaker 3: heavy on the cream, and I love the cream. I
Speaker 3: love the cream.
Speaker 1: How dare you?
Speaker 3: There's this place in New York when I visit my brother,
Speaker 3: they had They're open twenty four hours. It's I forget
Speaker 3: the name of it, but they have the greatest banana
Speaker 3: cream pie I've ever had. But they actually, oh.
Speaker 1: It's justinn't you walked all the way across the bridge
Speaker 1: with puff daddy.
Speaker 3: Eh No. But the thing about that is they actually
Speaker 3: have little chunks of banana in there. You will not
Speaker 3: find No banana chunks were harmed in the making of
Speaker 3: the banana cream pie from Costco. I didn't find any.
Speaker 3: But you get a massive chunk of pie, and I
Speaker 3: think that's a pretty good value. Sixteen dollars seems like
Speaker 3: a pretty decent value for pie. So overall, Mallar food
Speaker 3: grade again eight point zero. I will be getting it again,
Speaker 3: but probably not that often because it's I feel like
Speaker 3: it's a waste if I don't eat the whole thing,
Speaker 3: and you know, Danny, I'm worried about my girlish figure.
Speaker 3: So it's a little tough for me to eat the
Speaker 3: whole thing here if I eat the whole pie. And
Speaker 3: my wife doesn't like to eat that much pie either,
Speaker 3: so it's a bit of an issue.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is why you should be able to buy
Speaker 1: it by slice, just like their pizza there at Costco.
Speaker 1: It's a great point.
Speaker 3: Costco food Court they charge well the cookies, Like is
Speaker 3: a cookie two fifty for the cookie?
Speaker 1: No, I'm not I'll look it up. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: buy those, you know, I can only get the slice
Speaker 1: of pizza and the PEPSI.
Speaker 3: So I've not had the cookie at the Costco Cookland
Speaker 3: food Court or whatever I have had. My go to
Speaker 3: is I call it the traditional traditional order, which is
Speaker 3: a slice of pizza and then the hot dog. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's the traditional And then you know, I might go
Speaker 3: back and get the berry Sunday, which they got off
Speaker 3: they took that off the menu, the berry Sunday, So
Speaker 3: I might go back and get that. But the key
Speaker 3: is a lot of people make a mistake when they
Speaker 3: go to Costco at the food court. If they get
Speaker 3: the dessert, they get it at the same time. Can't
Speaker 3: do it that that stuff melts, right, Danny, back me
Speaker 3: up on this, right.
Speaker 1: And it's gross. You saw what went viral that guy
Speaker 1: who put the two cookies. He got two huge Costco
Speaker 1: cookies and they're melty warm, and he put the vanilla
Speaker 1: in the middle of them to make his own sandwich.
Speaker 1: Look gross. It was melting all over the place.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you it's again. It's fast food. My theory,
Speaker 3: and I've not been proven wrong on this, is that
Speaker 3: the fast food is fine. It's not cheap anymore. It's
Speaker 3: very expensive fast food, especially where we live in California.
Speaker 3: But the issue with fast foods you got to eat
Speaker 3: it within It's about ten minutes of getting the food,
Speaker 3: and every minute after that the food sits there, it
Speaker 3: gets worse and worse and worse and worse and worse
Speaker 3: and worse.
Speaker 1: Do you remember last weekend? Look at this, we're in sync.
Speaker 1: We used to be Backstreet Boys, but now we're in sync.
Speaker 1: Last weekend on the podcast in Foody Fun, you talked
Speaker 1: about taco bells, new cheese it items.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, is that you sent me a photo?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just texted you. I went for show research
Speaker 1: only Dan.
Speaker 3: That's not a very flattering photo. You said.
Speaker 1: The calories didn't count because it's a market research. But
Speaker 1: this is the cheese it enchilada. That picture, that's the
Speaker 1: size of my hand. So in the commercials and the
Speaker 1: on their menu when you're in the drive through looks
Speaker 1: so big.
Speaker 3: I was impressed by the size. But I'm not gonna lie, Danny,
Speaker 3: that was a big cock.
Speaker 1: It's in this tiny box and I unboxed it. That's
Speaker 1: what came out right there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not not great. And it does look like
Speaker 3: remember that story when I was walking and I had
Speaker 3: to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 1: No, and then I'll say that.
Speaker 3: It kind of looks what was left behind and when
Speaker 3: I missed the market. You know, it's the bullye.
Speaker 1: It had good crunch, all right, I'll give it that.
Speaker 1: It's just like the inside of a regular crunchy taco
Speaker 1: and they throw some sour cream on it. So nothing special.
Speaker 1: I'll rank it in uh mild sauce packets. That's five
Speaker 1: and a half out of ten mild sauce packets.
Speaker 3: So on the Danny G Food grading scale, just average okay,
Speaker 3: so very very mild. And yeah, I don't think the
Speaker 3: commercial that they have for that product, shows it the
Speaker 3: way you showed it, Danny, I don't think.
Speaker 1: Just the between. I mean, this is one of the
Speaker 1: reasons why certain fast food places are getting sued.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's always been the case though, right. I
Speaker 3: remember when I was a kid, I watched my parents
Speaker 3: used to watch I think it was sixty Minutes, and
Speaker 3: they had a story on how they prepare food for
Speaker 3: commercials and like the tricks that they used.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I remember you talking about that. And also
Speaker 1: there is a classic movie. It's a pretty much a
Speaker 1: cult classic. Michael Douglas started in a nineties movie called
Speaker 1: Falling Down. Oh yeah, Yeah. He goes nuts in LA
Speaker 1: one day, gets out of his car because he can't
Speaker 1: stand the bumper of them for traffic, and he just
Speaker 1: basically raises hell throughout the city of Los Angeles. He
Speaker 1: goes inside a whammy Burger, remember, and he pulls his
Speaker 1: gun out because he's pissed off. They won't give him
Speaker 1: breakfast because it's like a minute after their breakfast time
Speaker 1: ten o one.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Then he talks to the manager and he's like, look
Speaker 1: at they can give him a whammy Burger. He's like,
Speaker 1: look at the way it looks on your picture and
Speaker 1: look at this shriveled up little piece of shit here.
Speaker 1: The manager's pissing his pants.
Speaker 3: That's uh, it's accurate. All these years later, the movie
Speaker 3: is held up there. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, absolutely held
Speaker 3: Boys and girls. If you've never seen the movie Falling Down,
Speaker 3: put it on your list. And that has become the
Speaker 3: normal where people in LA just have meltdowns Danny and uh,
Speaker 3: I guess not just La. We had a guy was
Speaker 3: it Atlanta this week? The guy that commandeered the bus. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and Atlanta and was driving around. That's like an l
Speaker 3: A story that's typically only in LA, but occasionally it
Speaker 3: happens outside La.
Speaker 1: Do you think our friend Roberto when he saw that story,
Speaker 1: he got a little nervous, like, all shit that could
Speaker 1: happen to me?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Well, I do hear from Roberto everyone, So I
Speaker 3: should text him and ask him his his stake on that.
Speaker 3: He's usually send me Dodger stuff. That's usually what he
Speaker 3: sends me. He's he selectively goes. He only goes when
Speaker 3: they're giving something away at Dodger Stadium, which I don't
Speaker 3: blame him because it is very expensive.
Speaker 1: So and he gets one bobblehead for him and then
Speaker 1: he resells the other one. Yeah, he told me his
Speaker 1: goals to always get two of the bobbleheads.
Speaker 3: So the way to do it, that's where to do it.
Speaker 3: So this past weekend we had, as we turned the page,
Speaker 3: a little whale watching excursion.
Speaker 1: H you guys saw me laying out on the beach
Speaker 1: in Orangetown.
Speaker 3: We went to the beautiful Newport coast and decided to
Speaker 3: see whale watch, you know, go whale watching, which we
Speaker 3: do maybe once a year, sometimes twice a year. But
Speaker 3: this was our one time here in twenty twenty four
Speaker 3: to get out in the boat and see whales. And
Speaker 3: I have been whale watching a bunch of times over
Speaker 3: the years. I can count on one finger the number
Speaker 3: of times we've actually seen whales. And that was in
Speaker 3: Santa Barbara. We were whale watching in Santa Barbara and
Speaker 3: saw a couple of big whales there in Santa Barbara.
Speaker 3: Never in any other part of LA or Orange County,
Speaker 3: San Diego, none of that. So we won whale watching.
Speaker 3: And but the weather was fine, nice day, perfect weather
Speaker 3: and all that. We get out there and we're cruising
Speaker 3: around and they're well there's no whales today. We haven't
Speaker 3: found out of whales. We're gonna keep looking. And then
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, it's like I'm in a documentary film.
Speaker 3: Did I see a bunch of we No? I didn't
Speaker 3: see much whales. I was surrounded not by the Miami dolphins.
Speaker 3: But I don't know what you call it, but it
Speaker 3: was a whole like mile and I'm not exaggerating here.
Speaker 3: They estimated it was at least one mile long of
Speaker 3: common dolphins that were aside the boat on both sides.
Speaker 3: We were in the middle of the dolphins just doing
Speaker 3: their thing, and it was awesome. It was so cool,
Speaker 3: and it was so cool. And I have seen dolphins
Speaker 3: every time I've gone whale watching, I see dolphins. Why
Speaker 3: don't you just call it dolphin watching? Maybe we'll see
Speaker 3: a whale, but we're really gonna go look at dolphins.
Speaker 3: That's what That would be good advertising. They always say
Speaker 3: it's whale watching. No, it's dolphin watching. And it was
Speaker 3: amazing these common dolphins and and like a couple of
Speaker 3: them were like riding the short bus Danny because they
Speaker 3: were like, they didn't really seem to know how to dive,
Speaker 3: and they stood out. You know, they were diving like sideways.
Speaker 1: Sounds like you're demeaning to all of them though you
Speaker 1: keep calling them common.
Speaker 3: Well that's what they said. They said, common dolphins. I
Speaker 3: don't know. Well some of them were a little special danny,
Speaker 3: if you know what I mean, because they were all
Speaker 3: all the dolphins were diving the same way. And then
Speaker 3: as I said, there were a couple of them that
Speaker 3: were like I didn't either know how to dive, or
Speaker 3: they were trying to show off, or they're just a
Speaker 3: little slow, and they were like diving sideways, and it
Speaker 3: was it was very hot, and.
Speaker 1: This one contrarian dolphins. Yeah, and then like like you
Speaker 1: and a couple other hosts on the network, everyone swims
Speaker 1: that way, we'll swim that way.
Speaker 3: You gotta stand out, man. It's like Craig Sager's showing
Speaker 3: up to a TNT broadcast back and then a clown costume.
Speaker 3: You remember who he is? Come on, you remember who
Speaker 3: he is?
Speaker 1: I remember he died too.
Speaker 3: Oh how dare you remember Victor Brick running on the
Speaker 3: court when Kobe Yeah, the shot almost died. Yeah, well
Speaker 3: the lake once the Laker PR guy got to Vicky
Speaker 3: almost died. What was he wanting to the not the kimono.
Speaker 3: He had Pancho a Laker poncho on Vic our friend Vic,
Speaker 3: the local LA radio legend, Victor Brick. I think he
Speaker 3: had a poncho on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been a guest. He's been a guest of
Speaker 1: the podcast.
Speaker 3: I love Vic. I've known Vic way back since he
Speaker 3: was Rick Dy's sports guy on D's in the Morning,
Speaker 3: Rick D's in the Morning on Kiss FM one on
Speaker 3: two point seven Kiss FM. Uh. That was my will
Speaker 3: watching dolphin watching excursion. It was really awesome, really cool, wonderful,
Speaker 3: loved it great, got a little burned, got a little
Speaker 3: burned on the boat because I'm pasty overnight vampire guy
Speaker 3: and so that was a bit of a pen in
Speaker 3: the ass.
Speaker 1: That stuff in a can that you can spray on yourself,
Speaker 1: is that right. We've been watching on Netflix Perfect Match,
Speaker 1: which is a goulash of all the reality dating shows.
Speaker 1: All go on this show to try to then match
Speaker 1: up with each other from other shows. Some of the
Speaker 1: guys on there, especially the dudes from the UK, they
Speaker 1: are so red and burned. I think they're in Cancun
Speaker 1: while they're filming this. And my wife says the same
Speaker 1: thing every time a burned dude comes on the screen.
Speaker 1: Put some fucking sunscreen on. My God, looks like it
Speaker 1: hurts to the touch.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well we've all seen, you know, one thing about
Speaker 3: our brothers and sisters from Europe when they come to
Speaker 3: the US. They just do things differently on the beach.
Speaker 3: I guess the beaches must be a lot different in
Speaker 3: the UK in particular, you know, like the bathing suits, everything,
Speaker 3: they it's just a lot they stand out. Do we
Speaker 3: stand it? We must stand out? I don't. I'm not
Speaker 3: been to Europe.
Speaker 1: But in accents that you can't really listen to for
Speaker 1: longer than ten minutes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Have you ever tried to watch one of those shows,
Speaker 1: like with your wife or somebody else where those British
Speaker 1: accents come on some some people can't take it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my wife loves the British Baking Show. She's watched
Speaker 3: I think every episode of that, and so it's all
Speaker 3: in the background, but I usually don't pay attention. I
Speaker 3: just kind of tune it out the same way you
Speaker 3: tune her out, pretty much. Yes, do my own do
Speaker 3: my own thing. Yes, all right, let's get to some
Speaker 3: foody fun. You wanted some foody fun. Let's do some
Speaker 3: foody fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, foody fun, let's do it.
Speaker 3: All right. So these are some of the food stories
Speaker 3: of the week. Starbucks offering new pairings on their Value
Speaker 3: menu starting at just five dollars. Dan, you know, I
Speaker 3: don't drink coffee, so you probably are wondering why I
Speaker 3: care about this. My wife does, though.
Speaker 1: No, no, wait a second, you got her that fancy
Speaker 1: coffee making machine you got crickets.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she still doesn't, and she still goes to it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, it doesn't matter, but they they have the
Speaker 3: deal offers a tall twelve is that tall twelve ounce
Speaker 3: iced tea or coffee paired with butter, croissante tall as
Speaker 3: there small or breakfast sandwich. Price is starting at five dollars,
Speaker 3: so you can get that. What else do they have here?
Speaker 3: Double smoked bacon or impossible breakfast sandwich That'll cost you
Speaker 3: seven dollars. So there's that, and uh, yeah, if you're
Speaker 3: you're into that kind of thing, I think I'm good
Speaker 3: on that. I don't think I'll be partaking in that one.
Speaker 3: What else did I see here? On the foody news
Speaker 3: Applebee's Have you ever been to Applebee's, Danny.
Speaker 1: Of course, it's been a long time though they're not.
Speaker 3: Really out here that much in LA they're not.
Speaker 1: Really Yeah, we have more chilies than we do Applebee's.
Speaker 3: In the Midwest. In the South, I don't remember seeing
Speaker 3: one in the South. In Midwest, I saw a lot
Speaker 3: of Applebee's. Anyway, they've welcomed new hand breaded chicken sandwiches
Speaker 3: to Applebee's, so if you're into that kind of thing.
Speaker 3: The fast food industry has claimed that the minimum wage
Speaker 3: law here in California is costing jobs. It's costing jobs,
Speaker 3: although there are other people that love the increased minimum
Speaker 3: wage for fast food workers who say that's not true.
Speaker 3: So it's this is what's called fun with numbers. Fun
Speaker 3: with numbers, Danny. Where the great thing about statistics is
Speaker 3: you can manipulate them any way you want to get
Speaker 3: them in your favor. It's like the stats with the
Speaker 3: sporting event. You can twist the numbers around and manipulate
Speaker 3: the numbers to get them where you want. But there's
Speaker 3: that argument's going on. McDonald's has launched a new vegan
Speaker 3: ice cream, but you got to go to the UK.
Speaker 3: The frozen dessert available at select stores in the United Kingdom.
Speaker 3: We'll have to get Terry in England or one of
Speaker 3: our other guys in the UK to go there. The
Speaker 3: fast food chain also introducing another dessert name mcfreezy Mcfreezy Freezy.
Speaker 3: Wonder where they came up with that one? Off to
Speaker 3: easy but that big news tomorrow, I guess it ends tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Taco Bell, your favorite Taco Bell offering free cantina chicken
Speaker 3: taco deal.
Speaker 1: No no, no no, I got one of their cantina burritos.
Speaker 3: Okay, just no no.
Speaker 1: What they're trying to do is make their food kind
Speaker 1: of dirty, so it looks like a street taco or
Speaker 1: a street burrito. Just stick to your fast food burritos
Speaker 1: and tacos. Okay.
Speaker 3: That's an one of these things. You got to get
Speaker 3: the app if you're interested in that, I'm good on.
Speaker 3: KFC is testing new KFC tenders with the new comeback
Speaker 3: sauce limited time only.
Speaker 1: What so comeback sauce that's not.
Speaker 3: It sounds very pornographic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it's not a good look.
Speaker 3: They're also testing the new KFC has got the new
Speaker 3: chicken case idea in select markets. It'll be available is
Speaker 3: available now for a limited time at locations in Connecticut,
Speaker 3: New Jersey, New York, and Tennessee. So KFC go there.
Speaker 3: And because I think casadea, I think of Connecticut. That's
Speaker 3: what I think of when it comes to the Casada.
Speaker 3: KFC also debuting new Honey barbecue saucy nugs. Does that
Speaker 3: excite you? No?
Speaker 1: I like nugs. Think I'd rather have the green guy
Speaker 1: and than theirs.
Speaker 3: Though, Well, it is Father's Day weekend, Danny, and if
Speaker 3: you're a father, you have a father. I think we
Speaker 3: all have to have a father, whether they're with us
Speaker 3: or not. But there are a bunch of deals Arby's
Speaker 3: is it's not necessarily just for Father's Day, but they

Speaker 1: you know, might be spraying each other with a beer.
Speaker 1: But it's gonna start off nice with a couple of bruskies. Brother.
Speaker 3: Are they gonna make sure they put like a fence
Speaker 3: around President Biden so he doesn't walk off the stage.
Speaker 3: All right, but we have the phrase of the week.
Speaker 1: The phrase of the week.
Speaker 3: All right, here's today's phrase of the week. It comes
Speaker 3: from the sports world. I was inspired by Luke. The
Speaker 3: Mavericks are going to lose Game four tonight and they
Speaker 3: will be eliminated.
Speaker 1: He was at the end of game three.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's it. But after Game three the other night,
Speaker 3: Luca said, when asked about the situation the Mavericks are in,
Speaker 3: he said, it ain't over till it's over. Now, those
Speaker 3: of us that have been around a while, we know
Speaker 3: that as a yogi is from Yogi Bear, Like, I
Speaker 3: said that on the Overnight Show the other day. But
Speaker 3: it got me thinking, when did that become a thing,
Speaker 3: Like when did Yogi bearra say that? Because my entire
Speaker 3: life I've heard that it ain't over till it's over.
Speaker 3: There was a book written about it, It's been in songs.
Speaker 3: But when did he say it? So I did a
Speaker 3: little research, went down a rabbit hole and back back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back,
Speaker 3: back back. It turns out that Yogi Bear never said
Speaker 3: it while he was playing for the Yankees. He didn't
Speaker 3: say it until after he left the New York Yankees.
Speaker 3: Yogi Bear first uttered the iconic phrase and ain't over
Speaker 3: it til it's over in nineteen seventy three. He was
Speaker 3: managing the New York Metropolitans. The Mets were a middling
Speaker 3: team in nineteen seventy three in the National League pennant race,
Speaker 3: and they had a long way, a long way to go.
Speaker 3: They were way behind a playoff spot, and they had
Speaker 3: no wildcard teams in those days. And so Yogi told
Speaker 3: the sports riders it ain't over till it's over. And
Speaker 3: after he said that, the Mets they didn't go on
Speaker 3: to Berner because that would be wrong. They weren't a
Speaker 3: very good team. But the Mets ended up winning the pennant.
Speaker 3: They won the pennant that year. They made the playoffs
Speaker 3: with eighty two wins. They were eighty two and seventy nine,
Speaker 3: ended up winning the pennant. Did not get it done
Speaker 3: at the end of the World Series. But this is
Speaker 3: a Mets team that had Tom sever Jerry Kouzman, Rusty Stob,
Speaker 3: Bud Harrelson, players like that. And that's when that's when
Speaker 3: he said it. He said that the people that studied
Speaker 3: language say linguistically, it is a tautology, is what they
Speaker 3: call it. And it tells you nothing about the word
Speaker 3: when taken literally, telling people X is X provides no
Speaker 3: real information. But that's essentially what he did. It's a
Speaker 3: cousin of the much blander. If at first you don't succeed,
Speaker 3: try try again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and have you seen the really good doc on Yogi?
Speaker 3: You know I did not actually watch that. I should
Speaker 3: watch that when I'm on the treadmill on one of
Speaker 3: these days. That was a couple of years back, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: a couple of years old. You'd enjoy it. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: should watch it. I was. I was around I ever, No,
Speaker 3: I wasn't like hanging out with Yogi Burro, but he was.
Speaker 3: He was at at Dodger Stadium if I remember correctly.
Speaker 3: Dodgers remember they played the Yankees in some exhibition games,
Speaker 3: like a long time ago in the nineties. The Yankees
Speaker 3: came in.
Speaker 1: And it was before my time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, they had had Deckia Rabu, the fat Toad,
Speaker 3: was on the mound and they made him do warm
Speaker 3: ups during batting practice. He had to cover first base
Speaker 3: because he was out of shape. And anyway, I'm pretty
Speaker 3: sure Yogi was there. I think that's where I saw him.
Speaker 1: Was it like the Rangers backup catcher a few nights
Speaker 1: ago during that blowout? Yeah, but on the mound he
Speaker 1: was storing fifty five miles per hour. My wife he
Speaker 1: kept saying, look at that, dude's huge, but he's not
Speaker 1: a pitcher, He's a catcher. It's like, oh, all the squats.
Speaker 3: The big caboose, the big caboos there. Do you have
Speaker 3: a favorite yogism? I like the one I think this
Speaker 3: is a yogism where he went to the restaurant and
Speaker 3: he said told him to cut the pieces of the
Speaker 3: pizza into like he said, cut him into eight slices
Speaker 3: instead of twelve, because he couldn't he wasn't that hungry.
Speaker 3: He couldn't eat twelve slices of pizza. Something along those lines.
Speaker 3: And then he always he said, also, you should go
Speaker 3: to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't go to yours,
Speaker 3: which I thought was kind of amusing. I mean, there's
Speaker 3: a bunch of those.
Speaker 1: How about the one he said it about some restaurant
Speaker 1: he said, no one goes there anymore, it's too crowded.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, that's that's good. That's a solid one too.
Speaker 3: I've stolen that one for sure. All right, we'll get
Speaker 3: out on that. It is Friday, Flag Day today, as
Speaker 3: I wrap myself in the flag, Danny work day, doubleheader
