Celebrating National Beer Can Appreciation Day, 18 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,839 Speaker 1: another one of those dopey holidays. The beer can fun fact. 19 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: The beer can debuted in nineteen thirty five in New Jersey. 20 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: A brewery in New Jersey released the first beer can, 21 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: and there was a It was actually a delay in 22 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: production because of World War two. Seemed that they needed 23 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: to use the materials to make bombs and weapons, and 24 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: so there was a delay because of World War Two. 25 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: And then can beer became mainstream again in nineteen sixty two. 26 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: So that's all the fun facts I have on beer cans. 27 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: When I was a kid. I don't remember exactly where 28 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: it was, but I have one of those memories of 29 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: going into someone's garage. I think it was one of 30 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: my neighbors, and it was just like middle aged dude, 31 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: probably the age i'm at now, and he had a 32 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: whole wall of beer cans, and I can still close 33 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: my eyes and kind of see it, because there was 34 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: some really old beer cans that were brightly colored and 35 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: looked pretty cool. And I was not old enough to 36 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: drink at the time, but I still appreciated the different logos. 37 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: It was visually stimulating to see all the different colors 38 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: and all that. I was like, that's pretty cool. It's 39 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 1: Macintosh Computer Day today, that's right, Yeah, the same day 40 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: every year, January twenty fourth, same day. Back in nineteen 41 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: seventy nine, Macintosh the project began, and we know what 42 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: it has turned out to be the first mac began 43 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: the project nineteen seventy nine. Nineteen eighty four Macintosh introduced 44 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: with much fan for Ridley Scott was a big deal 45 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: George Orwell inspired Ridley Scott TV commercial and that was 46 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: entitled nineteen eighty four and actually during the Super Bowl, 47 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: and that kick started in many ways, the Macintosh revolution. 48 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: When I was a kid, my dad was very into 49 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: computers and he, my old man, worked on computers when 50 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: they were the size of football fields. I might be 51 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: exaggerating a little bit, but they took up these entire warehouses, 52 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: and those are the kind of computers my dad worked on. 53 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: And then you know, he loved it, and so we 54 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: were futs around his kids. We had the latest. He 55 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: liked the Apple computers. So we had the Macintosh and 56 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: some of those kind of things, and we play around 57 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: and I spent hours playing Apple Galaxians, which most people 58 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: don't even know what the f that is, but it 59 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: was like a it was a shooter game. Well it 60 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: was you were playing, you know, shooting aliens, going back 61 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: and forth. But I loved that game. That game was 62 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: so freaking cool and you get those little flags at 63 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: the bottom. Man that I love that game. Man was 64 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: that fun going back. It's also just do it day 65 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: to day. That must be like some kind of Nike thing, right, 66 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: just do it. That's the Nike the Nike slogan just 67 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: do it. And yeah, yeah, that's not like it's a 68 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: newer holiday. They just made it up, I guess. In 69 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. The slogan was first used, though here's a 70 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: fun fact on this slogan was first used in nineteen 71 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: eighty eight at an advertising meeting, and the slogan was 72 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: inspired because of Gary Gilmore's twice convicted murder a murderer's 73 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: last words, let's do it when he's I remember seeing 74 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: that there was a Nike movie a couple of years ago, 75 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: and I remember seeing that they had that in the movie. 76 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: I do recall that. Let's get to the meat of 77 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: the matter on this fifth hour. We've got around the 78 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: world in eighty days. Who is that masked man? We've 79 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: got that Cordon barf. Cordon barf. You won't hear that 80 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: on any other podcast. Joe Rogan doesn't have that, nobody else, 81 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: Adam Carolla, they don't have that. So we'll have cordon barf. 82 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: We also have foody fun and the idiom of the week, 83 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: the idiom of the week. But we begin with this. 84 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: It is the championship weekend in the National Football League. 85 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: Cannes City and Philadelphia hosting championship games. The early game 86 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: Philadelphia and Washington. That's the undercard. The winner will head 87 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: to the Bayou to go have amazing pull Boys and 88 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,239 Speaker 1: Beignet's and all the New Orleans food and come back 89 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: a loser.

So, as you know, we have access the 134 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: show's produced at NBC, it's produced out of Boston, but 135 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: our studios at Universal Studios here in Hollywood, and we 136 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: have access to walk wherever we want, just about assuming 137 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: they're not working on the sets and when we tape 138 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: the show they're not normally working. So we've been wandering 139 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: around the back lot at Universal Studios, Hollywood, and we 140 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: made our way to Little Europe. So what yeah, Little Europe, 141 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 1: which is awesome. Now I've never been to actual Europe. 142 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: Maybe I'll get there some point. I'd like kind of 143 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: like to go. I didn't want to go a few 144 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 1: years ago. I kind of want to go Now it's 145 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: very expensive, as you know, it's a long plane flight, 146 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: which I don't like, but I might as well check 147 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: it out before I check out of this mortal coil. 148 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: So at some point me and the wife will get there. 149 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: But it's it's really cool. They have these these cobblestone streets, 150 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: which I believe we're actually just press cement to look 151 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: like cobblestone. They've got all the bells and whistles. You 152 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: feel like you're in a little village in Europe. It's 153 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: just awesome. It's just really cool. There's several streets, there's 154 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: a train station, and all of them can be redressed, 155 00:09:55,559 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: as they say in Hollywood, they can dress it up, 156 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: making it however they want. But it's awesome because we 157 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: went back and looked at some of the films that 158 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: have been made in that in that location, and it's 159 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: just awesome. I mean, some of the biggest move movies 160 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: in the history of Hollywood were filmed right there. We 161 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: didn't know this at the time. We were flutching around, 162 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: walking around. We were just trying to find a place 163 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: that looked kind of cool, and we stumbled down this 164 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: cobblestone street and this little villa there was a fountain, 165 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: little shops. It was awesome and the only thing missing 166 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: was actually being in Europe, but in that location.

His 239 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: name flashed on my board and I said, wait a minute, 240 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: could that possibly be Lenny the cripkeeper, solid old school 241 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: New Yorker who's lived in Florida for a long time. 242 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: And sure enough it was the original Lenny from Fort Lauderdale. 243 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: And he played Jeopardy against for Gaze from Minnesota. So 244 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: that was fun. We had Jay Dot call up the 245 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: last hour from Salt Lake City.

He didn't want 261 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: to talk about the Ravens. Do you blame him? So 262 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: he calls up and he goes right in to the 263 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: recap of the episode on I think it's on Court 264 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: TV of the nineteen ninety five OJ Simpson trial.

Nobody else has had that on 272 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: radio as breaking news. We're the only show on radio 273 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 1: to have that.

But 281 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: I want to take you back to who is the 282 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 1: Masked Man? So at the beginning of the week, we 283 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: had the Octagon leading in to Ohio State and Notre 284 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: Dame and this was inspired by Alameda Lou. Now, Alameda 285 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: Lou had called us the previous week and we had 286 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: the Octagon schedule. However, Buck Nuts did not call in 287 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: at the proper time. Now he claims that Cooper Loop 288 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 1: told him the wrong time zone, and he drives a truck. 289 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: He's based in Columbus, Ohio, but he travels around all 290 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: over that region, from Ohio to Tennessee and Kentucky and 291 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: Indiana and all the different states around there. So buck 292 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: Nuts called up late. So we said, you know what, 293 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 1: We're going to move the octagon to Monday morning, Sunday 294 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: night and the Monday morning. So we worked with Alameda 295 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: lou and Alameda Lou Is like, all right, I can't 296 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: do a hour one. I work at the Kingfish here 297 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 1: in Oakland, so I can't do it, So I'm going 298 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 1: to go an hour two. We said, you know what, 299 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: we'll do hour two. But we got to do it 300 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: in hour two because we're going to allot some time 301 00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 1: to the verbal octagon, and once we allot toime, we're 302 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 1: gonna lock that in. And we had to do it 303 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 1: because the game was that night. Otherwise there'd be no 304 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: reason to do the octagon because the game would have 305 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: already been played. Fine, so al of me to lose, 306 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: I'm good to go. So we get to the time 307 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: where the rubber meets the road Sunday night and the 308 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,239 Speaker 1: Monday morning. It was our two of the show, and 309 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: Coop lets me know. He's like, I don't think Lou's 310 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: going to be able to make it. He said, something's 311 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 1: going on with the bar, and so I was like, 312 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: wait a minute, Alami to lose, not gonna He's not, 313 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 1: he said, this hour we changed the guys. Hey, he said, 314 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: something came up. So on the fly, this was not planned. 315 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 1: We did not plan this. We did not have a 316 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 1: contingency plan. But on the fly we had an Alameda 317 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: Lou impersonator that came in with bloody knuckles. One of 318 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: the great dominant performances in the octagon. It was momentous, 319 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 1: a world class beat down at the Disco Tech, it 320 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: was a hold down at the Spit and Sawdust Bar, 321 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 1: and it even did the Doci dough. Now you probably 322 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 1: know by now you figure out by listening it was 323 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: not Alamy Lou. It was an impersonator, Blind Scott from 324 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: Boston as Alamy de Lou and Buck Nuts did not 325 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: know how to handle that. He did not know how 326 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 1: to take care of his business. And Grantlin Rice, the 327 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: iconic sports writer back in the nineteen thirties, wrote that 328 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: styles make fights and a good boxer always beats a 329 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 1: good puncher, right, those are some lines. Well, in this case, 330 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 1: Blind Scott came out and was a swarmer. He just overwhelmed, 331 00:20:54,840 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: absolutely overwhelmed buck Nuts. He had no chance, no chance, 332 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: and Buck Nuts was thunderstruck. And it wasn't about being 333 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: a shrewd tactician or moving your feet or anything like 334 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: that and being part of the sweet science of boxing, 335 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: the noble art. It was none of those things. It 336 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: was Blind Scott bringing a blow torch and it was 337 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: body blow, body blow, body blow. And it wasn't even 338 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: a slugfest because it was just one guy beating down 339 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: the other guy. And that's how it went. No ducking 340 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 1: and diving, no bobbing and weaving, none of that. And 341 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: it was just one after another, one after another. In 342 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 1: my head, why, as I was listening to this, I'm like, wow, 343 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 1: there's a there's a low blow, there's a you know punch, 344 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: you know, right to the right to the junk. You know. 345 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: It was the body blow body blow thing for Mike 346 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: Tyson's punch out. It was It was insane how impressive 347 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: that was. And it was like if it was Mike 348 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: Tyson's punch out. You got no no, no disrespect for 349 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: buck Nuts because this is not his forte. And we 350 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 1: thank him for being part of the show, and he 351 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: loves the show and it's great. But on that event, 352 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: I think he would agree. If it was Mike Tyson's 353 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: punch out, he was Soda Popinske. He was Soda Popinske. 354 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: And uh, the man that played the role of Alameda 355 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: Lou was was Mike Tyson. You know, I think I 356 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: said so, I think I meant class Joe, right, Class 357 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 1: Joe is the one that's the weak. I'm retracting. So 358 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: I got my Mike Tyson punch out characters mixed up, right, 359 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: I am doing this on the fly. But it's Class Joe, 360 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 1: that's the one, right, that little you beat the guy 361 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: and he had, you know, his eyes kind of rolled 362 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: around his head. Yeah, that's got to be it. So 363 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: that was it. And then and the other part, which 364 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: was hilarious was to Lou, the real Alume to Lou, well, 365 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: the real alim Me to Lou stand out, so stand up. 366 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: The real ala alamde Lou calls up and he is 367 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: furious and we put him on with the fake Alamda Lou. 368 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: Blind Scott and it just made for Firecracker Radio, so good, 369 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: so outstanding. It was wonderful, so good job by those guys. 370 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 1: Made for some fun moments on the show. Organic. It 371 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 1: wasn't planned out. We didn't have this all all scripted 372 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 1: and all that. It just kind of just kind of 373 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 1: turned into a vertical suplex, if you will. Right, it 374 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: was the old elevated hammerlock and solid, solid solid. Now 375 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: turn you the page on that. We go into the 376 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: kitchen for some not Cordon Blue, but Cordon Barf dateline 377 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: Malor Mansion parts unknown, parts unknown. So in the the 378 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: Mala Mansion parts it's unknown. We have a little half 379 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: a sleep cooking. Now. I don't get a lot of sleep, 380 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: you know that, and I function pretty well. I think 381 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: other people would have to be the judge of that. 382 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: But I sleep maybe four to five hours. Unless I'm 383 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: drugging myself, I'm not sleeping much, so I know going it, 384 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: you know, unless I give myself a tranquilizer or something 385 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: like that, I'm not sleeping much. And so that's just 386 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: the way it is, and I'm fine with it. I'm like, 387 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: all right, that's just how I'm wired. And I can 388 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: blame my parents, or you know, do some self reflection 389 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 1: just whatever. So the other day we've been, as you 390 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: know from listening to this podcast, we're going like an 391 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: entire month. We'll probably go longer than that, just eating 392 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: at home. We're not eating out, not because we're we 393 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: can't afford eat out, but we just wanted to eat 394 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: out for or eat at home because we like the 395 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: stuff that we make, and we have a nice kitchen. 396 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: We want to use it and try different recipes and 397 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 1: recreate the stuff that we we like when we go 398 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 1: to restaurants, and we've eaten out a lot. So we're 399 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: just futzing around with that. And so the other day 400 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 1: I got about three hours of sleep because of the 401 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: TV show taping and the radio show, and I didn't 402 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: have insomnia. I just I could only sleep for a 403 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: little bit of time, so i'd sleep deprivation, I believe 404 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: is the term. So I was a little bit ditzy, 405 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: shall you say, and I decided to fidget around in 406 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: the kitchen and make some garlish garlic mashed potatoes. Then 407 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 1: you might remember last week I told you that I 408 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: have fallen in love with my stinking rose rip off 409 00:25:55,280 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 1: garlic mashed potato recipe which is easy to make, very 410 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: easy to make, and in addition to being easy to make, 411 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 1: you can make a lot of it and it'll last 412 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 1: the week because it's mashed potatoes. So again without sleep, 413 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: I wandered into the kitchen. I more like staggered into 414 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: the kitchen. So I got the potatoes. I boiled some water, 415 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: I washed the potatoes. I put the potatoes in the 416 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: boiling water. Then I took some garlic, fifty clothes of garlic, 417 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: maybe even more than that, and I put those into 418 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: a food processor and I ended up mincing it was pure. 419 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: I hit the pure button. I don't even know what 420 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: that means, but I hit the pure button on the 421 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: food processor. So that made the garlic pure. So we 422 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 1: put everything together. The potatoes boiled. I then took out 423 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: the restaurant style smasher and smashed those potatoes into mash. 424 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: And then we added all the different ingredients into the 425 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: mashed potatoes. Now I said Cordon Barf, not Cordon Blue, 426 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: because there was a culinary crime. If this was a blimp, 427 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: it would have been the Hindenburg. It was a hydrogen bomb, 428 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: but it was hidden very flammable situation. So I was 429 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 1: a little out of it. And while I was making 430 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: the garlic mashed potatoes, I realized that, And this was 431 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 1: after the fact, after we bit into the garlic mashed potatoes, 432 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: that I forgot to roast the garlic. A major party 433 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: foul by yours, truly, A major party foul by yours, truly. 434 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: So the way the recipe were pretty sim You take 435 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: the garlic and you roast it and then you make 436 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 1: it pure. I missed that step. I don't know how 437 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: I missed that step. I've made it now three times. 438 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: The first two times I was not disoriented. I did 439 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: not have sleeplessness for some reason, and so so this 440 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: time it was at a little messed up. And so 441 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: I bit into it, and even I, who love garlic, 442 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: absolutely love garlic, the pungent taste of that was very unpleasant. 443 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: It was very unpleasant. It smelled good, but when you 444 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: bit into it, it was how can I? How can I? 445 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: It was like smelling salts, is I guess what I 446 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,479 Speaker 1: would say like that kind of it was varnish remover 447 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: is what it was. Wild. So I'm gonna make more 448 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: garlic mash. But I threw that out. We threw it out. 449 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: That's not for human consumption. That's not for human consumption. 450 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: So later today, probably Wall Benny versus the Pennies on 451 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: and I will be making more garlic mashed potatoes, just 452 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: the kind of thing you need to know. And they 453 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: will be Cordon blue. They will not be Cordon barf 454 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: at all unless I screw up. And then if I 455 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: screw up, well then they're gonna be bad, bad, bad 456 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: bad bad bad bad bad foody fun real quick foody fun, 457 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:28,719 Speaker 1: foody fun.

PF Chain's is testing a 464 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: fast casual concept restaurant called Pagoda Asian Grill. Somebody let 465 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: Mark Davis.

They tried, it didn't 470 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: really work. I know there's at least one or two 471 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: in Vegas. Last time I was in Vegas.

Scott Rude. Yeah, all right, let's 482 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: get to the idiom of the week. The idiom of 483 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: the week. So the Endium of the week was requested 484 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: by Carl. I don't know where Carl lives. Carl did 485 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: not say where he lives. So Carl from Parts unknown. 486 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: But thank you Carl, he says, Ben. I've heard you 487 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: use this phrase quite a bit on your show. I 488 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: would like to know where the phrase move the needle 489 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: comes from. Well, Carl, you are correct. I have used 490 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: that phrase many times, many times on the show. I 491 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: think I use it at least once a night, at 492 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: least once a night. So there's a couple of theories 493 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: on the origin of move the needle. Got to move 494 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: that needle, right, I gotta move that needle. Now, I 495 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: do use it a lot to talk about an athlete 496 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: somebody that does move the needle. So there's a couple 497 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: of theories on this. One of them says it goes 498 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: back to the industrial Revolution and that's where it began. 499 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: But from what I understand, based on a minutes long 500 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: Mallar investigation, move the needle comes from my business, comes 501 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 1: from radio. How cool is that? Comes from music and radio, 502 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: And the expression moved the needle originated via radio and music. 503 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:47,479 Speaker 1: In every radio station has a board which you hit 504 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: all the buttons and that plays the audio and the 505 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: music and the commercials and all that. And they have 506 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: a classic VU meter. It's an analog recorder where the 507 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: needle measurement measures the audio levels and if the sound 508 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: is too soft, if it's too low, the needle would 509 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: not move at all. So that is the phrase moved 510 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: the needle, and it's been a pretty popular phrase since 511 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties, so that's going back forty plus years 512 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: that that has been a popular phrase, move the needle. 513 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: And I do use it a lot. We all use 514 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: it a lot in sports, and I'm proud to say 515 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: that that originated from radio and from music radio. And 516 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: I remember one of my mentors, the great Tony Bruno, 517 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: who I love, and I'm seeing Tony some of the 518 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 1: Super Bowl I think it was last year. But Tony 519 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: was great because he would say if you didn't have 520 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: any to say some night, you'd be like I was 521 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: just trying to keep the VU meter moving. That's all 522 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: we're trying to do. Just keep that VU meter moving 523 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: and get through the show. And we have just about 524 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: gotten through this podcast.
