Speaker 1: Kutbooms.
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 1: 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 1: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Speaker 1: Maler and Danny g Radio. Who is away but you
Speaker 1: got me hanging out with you on this Saturday morning.
Speaker 1: We record this early on Saturday, and then you listen
Speaker 1: whenever the f you want on the twenty seventh day
Speaker 1: of June, giving you fresh audio. This is not the
Speaker 1: original Recipe podcast. This is the Extra Crispy, Extra Spicy Podcast.
Speaker 1: Oh so, there were a couple of stories yesterday that
Speaker 1: would have made great Malard monologues, but I didn't do
Speaker 1: the show last night in the overnight. So the one
Speaker 1: that really popped up and I thought, oh man, that
Speaker 1: would have been great. We have the rest of the story.
Speaker 1: Remember the player on the Diamondbacks, Coutell Marte, who there
Speaker 1: was a fan in Chicago suspended for an indefinite period
Speaker 1: of time from every Major League ballpark, and the Internet
Speaker 1: was convinced that this fan had said the most vile
Speaker 1: thing imaginable about Coatel Marte's mother that caused him to cry.
Speaker 1: So I saw this yesterday and I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I mean, what are we doing here? So the White
Speaker 1: Sox were playing the diamond Backs. If you if you
Speaker 1: didn't see this, maybe you missed it. So he was.
Speaker 1: The story was he was being taunted by a Chicago
Speaker 1: White Sox fan, and his mother had died in a
Speaker 1: car accident in the Dominican a number of years ago.
Speaker 1: I think I've been about eight ten years something like that.
Speaker 1: I think it's eight years. And so this twenty two
Speaker 1: year old Jabbroni was given an indefinite band by the
Speaker 1: White Sox in Major League Baseball because of what he
Speaker 1: had said. And nobody knew what he had said, but
Speaker 1: people were assuming that it was the worst thing ever.
Speaker 1: And Marte did an interview and explained what happened. And
Speaker 1: when he was done explaining what happened, everyone had the
Speaker 1: same reaction. They're like, holy f what are you driving
Speaker 1: a mister softy truck, like, what are you doing? So
Speaker 1: he said, in the seventh inning, he came to bat,
Speaker 1: he was at the plate. He heard a fan shouting
Speaker 1: at the top of the dugout and this is a
Speaker 1: quart I'm reading a quote here from Katel Marte the Diamondbacks,
Speaker 1: he said. Quote he yelled at me, saying stuff about
Speaker 1: my mom. He was like, I sent your mom a
Speaker 1: text last night, and that is what triggered him to cry,
Speaker 1: which is for that reaction, for him to cry, that's
Speaker 1: one thing, But then for Baseball to decide that that
Speaker 1: is worthy of an indefinite banishment from every ballpark in
Speaker 1: the major leagues, like, what are you doing? My god?
Speaker 1: I mean, that is unreal. What an overreaction by everyone involved,
Speaker 1: by everyone involved, just just ridiculous. Anyway, I saw, I
Speaker 1: saw that. You gotta be kidding me. And then I
Speaker 1: was not watching the NHL Draft because I'm anti draft
Speaker 1: and I didn't have to do a talk show on Friday,
Speaker 1: you know, Friday night into Saturday here, so I didn't
Speaker 1: have to talk show, so I didn't watch the draft.
Speaker 1: So I keep getting these messages on my phone. You've
Speaker 1: got to turn this on. Are you watching the draft?
Speaker 1: I'm not buying. I'm text back, I'm not watching the draft.
Speaker 1: Why when I watch the draft, I'm off tonight. I
Speaker 1: don't talk about it. And even if I was on,
Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't talk about it anyway. So a couple
Speaker 1: of my buddies, one lives on the East coast, the
Speaker 1: other on the West coast, and they were both texting me,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't Eddie. By the way, it wasn't Eddie.
Speaker 1: And so they're texting me, is like, you gotta watch this.
Speaker 1: This is so bad. And so after like the fifth message,
Speaker 1: I flipped it on my phone. Holy crap, Holy crap. Wow. Now,
Speaker 1: I know you're supposed to try new things. I get that.
Speaker 1: Don't you have to vet them a little bit? Don't
Speaker 1: you have to try to try to do some market research?
Speaker 1: And my god, So I'm gonna try to describe this
Speaker 1: as best I can. And I did not see did
Speaker 1: not see the beginning of it, and I did not
Speaker 1: see the end of it because I didn't stick around.
Speaker 1: I only saw a couple of picks. I saw the
Speaker 1: Boston Bruins pick I think, which was the seventh pick,
Speaker 1: and I watched a couple of selections, and I guess
Speaker 1: the draft was in in Los Angeles. I wonder if
Speaker 1: Eddie went. Maybe Eddie went to the draft. I don't know.
Speaker 1: But they had this thing called the NHL Draft House,
Speaker 1: which is I mean, it was just forced awkward, cringe worthy.
Speaker 1: It was a boone doggle, a boone doggle where even
Speaker 1: people that like hockey, like, I'm casual with hockey, right,
Speaker 1: I like the Stanley Cup Final. I'll watch a game
Speaker 1: every now and again, but I don't watch too much hockey.
Speaker 1: I don't. I used to cover hockey and I was
Speaker 1: there every night and I enjoyed it. People were very
Speaker 1: nice to me. But I've moved on. So they had
Speaker 1: this thing called the Draft House where they did interviews
Speaker 1: and it was on zoom and it just was way
Speaker 1: way to too cringe worthy.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: So the draft was at the some place in LA
Speaker 1: and you had Gary Bettman, you had the broadcasters, and
Speaker 1: then you had several of the top players like they
Speaker 1: had draft. So then then a player was in the
Speaker 1: When when a player was there, and a lot of
Speaker 1: them were, he would go on stage and do a
Speaker 1: zoom interview with members of the new team's front office.
Speaker 1: And in theory it's like, oh, this is great. We're
Speaker 1: going to take you behind the scenes and see how
Speaker 1: everything works in execution. My god, it's like, don't ever,
Speaker 1: don't ever do that again. And so apparently it started awkward.
Speaker 1: I didn't see the beginning of it, and I tuned in.
Speaker 1: I said, oh, yeah, you're right. I text back, I said,
Speaker 1: all right, you're you're correct that. I mean, there were
Speaker 1: technical issues, but watch and McCall it wasn't work and
Speaker 1: the thing of ajig didn't work, so there were issues
Speaker 1: on that, and then just the just really unnecessary, really
Speaker 1: really unnecessary. So you tried something new, it didn't work.
Speaker 1: We'll just pretend it didn't happen and change it up.
Speaker 1: My goodness, Yeah, what else? Toda s all right? Ron
Speaker 1: Washington another baseball story. He's out, Well, he's not out
Speaker 1: as Angels manager. Does anyone think Ron Washington's gonna return
Speaker 1: as Angel manager? Everyone in baseball loves the guy. The
Speaker 1: baseball writers can't say enough good things about him. He's
Speaker 1: a great storyteller. People in baseball love him. Ron Washington
Speaker 1: had been the Angels manager. He had some kind of
Speaker 1: health problem. He took a leave of absence this week
Speaker 1: and now the Angels have announced he will not be
Speaker 1: returning that that's it. He's done for this year and
Speaker 1: he will be Gonzo Gonzo Gonzo Gonzo for the rest
Speaker 1: of the year and at age seventy three, will he
Speaker 1: be back on this podcast though. Getting into the meat
Speaker 1: of the matter, we have the Military Education Silence, Thumper Sherlock, Pizza,
Speaker 1: and the phrase of the week. We'll begin with this now.
Speaker 1: A heartfelt thank you to every man, woman and child
Speaker 1: that reached out a lot of great feedback. I told
Speaker 1: my story last week about my son who's gone to
Speaker 1: boot camp and now out of boot camp and joined
Speaker 1: the United States Marines, and I always knew we had
Speaker 1: a lot of military families and ex military veterans and
Speaker 1: active military that were fans of the show and part
Speaker 1: of our group, you know, the malad militia, but you
Speaker 1: don't really know until you know you tell this story.
Speaker 1: And so many people reached out, from military guys, gals,
Speaker 1: people that are fans of Fox Sports Radio that listen
Speaker 1: to the Overnight. I heard from people that used to
Speaker 1: work the day shift, or it used to work the
Speaker 1: night shift, they're now on the day shift, the dreaded
Speaker 1: day shift, and they heard the podcast, and they were
Speaker 1: very excited about that, and so that whole mantra, once
Speaker 1: a marine, always a marine, it does run strong, and
Speaker 1: I did not right back there. When I apologize, I
Speaker 1: get overwhelmed. I get so many messages from Blind Scott
Speaker 1: and a couple of other people that I just give up.
Speaker 1: I know I shouldn't do that, but if you saw
Speaker 1: the volume of mail that I email, it's impossible to
Speaker 1: serve through everything. So I usually start out writing back
Speaker 1: to a few people and then I just say that's it.
Speaker 1: I can't do it. So I hope you will take
Speaker 1: what I'm about to say as a heartfelt tip of
Speaker 1: the headphones, a thank you to you if you did
Speaker 1: reach out to me. I did get your messages, I
Speaker 1: did read them. It was great to hear your story.
Speaker 1: So many of you shared your story, whether you were
Speaker 1: in the Marines years ago, as some hardy veterans who
Speaker 1: were in Vietnam. We had some of those guys called
Speaker 1: the show. Wayne from Missouri, for example, got on the
Speaker 1: air this week who was in Vietnam and told the
Speaker 1: story and I didn't even hear it because my headphones malfunctioned.
Speaker 1: Alf pointed out, Hey, that guy his drill sergeant was
Speaker 1: the guy from you know, Full Metal Jacket or whatever
Speaker 1: they get the guy the famous, most famous drill sergeant
Speaker 1: of all time. So that was cool. Wayne from Missouri
Speaker 1: and several others emailed me and you know, retired guys
Speaker 1: that can't sleep because you got you know whatever, insomnia
Speaker 1: or medical problems, and you listened to the show, and
Speaker 1: so you told me about your experience. Some of you
Speaker 1: guys were not on the Marines, who were in the
Speaker 1: army and other branches of the military, but it was
Speaker 1: wonderful to hear your stories. And some of you guys
Speaker 1: who also have kids in the military, and you were
Speaker 1: telling me how the Marine Corps in particular helped, you know,
Speaker 1: shape the life of your kids. Some of you your
Speaker 1: life as well. I'll give you an example. Some of
Speaker 1: I want to think Dale and Charleston. He sent a
Speaker 1: nice note Mountain Mark, fan of the show. He says,
Speaker 1: congrats on your young man completing book camp. He says,
Speaker 1: what is his mos My son was a radio repairman.
Speaker 1: That's cool, got a great job in tech when he
Speaker 1: got out. The Marines have been a big part of
Speaker 1: his maturation process. Now we have a daughter in law
Speaker 1: and two beautiful grandchildren. That's great, Mazeltov, congratulations mos. Now
Speaker 1: this is military jargon, something I did not know until
Speaker 1: until my guy Patrick joined the Marines, a military occupational specialty.
Speaker 1: And Patrick is going to be back at Camp Pendleton.
Speaker 1: His MOS is infantry. So the infantry is the ground forces,
Speaker 1: and they are you know, we all kind of know,
Speaker 1: even if you're not a military person, what that means.
Speaker 1: You locate, destroy the enemy wherever, anywhere you name it.
Speaker 1: And so by land, by sea, the Marines do it
Speaker 1: all and hopefully will not be needed right all. We
Speaker 1: want a strong military. We don't want to have to
Speaker 1: actually use the military until it's the last option. But
Speaker 1: he is there if the United States Marine Corps need him.
Speaker 1: And from everything I've been told, the infantry is the
Speaker 1: backbone of the Marines, and so he will be right
Speaker 1: in the middle of everything. My military education has been
Speaker 1: ie open. Now, when I grew up, I grew up.
Speaker 1: I'm not from a military family. I did grow up
Speaker 1: surrounded by military brats. I grew up literally in between
Speaker 1: two military bases. I think I told the story last
Speaker 1: last week. When I was a child, there was the
Speaker 1: Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, and then there was
Speaker 1: one in Tustin, which in Orange County, and I was
Speaker 1: literally grew up in the city in between both of them.
Speaker 1: So when I went to school, a lot of my
Speaker 1: classmates were in the military, and I told the story
Speaker 1: about how every once in a while we get to
Speaker 1: go on base and it was like a big deal
Speaker 1: because everything was cheaper because you didn't have to pay
Speaker 1: taxes and we'd buy a crap ton of candy and
Speaker 1: other stuff like that on the base and you felt
Speaker 1: like you were like rich and all that stuff. So
Speaker 1: my military education, though since this has happened recently, I
Speaker 1: had no idea give you a couple examples, okay, and
Speaker 1: I admit I'm naive to it. I had no idea
Speaker 1: that the Marines had to buy their uniforms like it
Speaker 1: comes out of your paycheck. I just assumed the position that, hey,
Speaker 1: you're working for the government, the government's got the money,
Speaker 1: they'll buy you the uniforms. I wonder if it's always
Speaker 1: been like that. I didn't really dig into it too deep,
Speaker 1: but I know for my son, he had to buy
Speaker 1: his uniforms and they take it out of the paycheck. Also,
Speaker 1: I thought, while you're in training, they would pay for
Speaker 1: your food, and no, that's not the case. They have
Speaker 1: to pay for your food while you're you're working. I
Speaker 1: was really surprised by that. I know, with the size
Speaker 1: of the military budget, and I know that when you're
Speaker 1: in the Marines, you're not getting a lot of money
Speaker 1: or any branch in the military. You're not getting rich
Speaker 1: in the military. So I just assumed that one of
Speaker 1: the perks would be, Hey, you're in the military, so
Speaker 1: we'll give you your gear that you're going to use
Speaker 1: for us will take care of it, and then I
Speaker 1: will also take care of your food, at least part
Speaker 1: of your food. But I'm told that is not the case.
Speaker 1: So which is wild. I mean, I'm all for a
Speaker 1: strong military and the I think I looked it up.
Speaker 1: The Department of Defense their military budget in the fiscal
Speaker 1: year twenty twenty five, which we're in right now, eight
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty billion, and they can't even buy the
Speaker 1: like the uniforms. That is wild. It's sixteen percent of
Speaker 1: total federal spending according to the Internet in the United States,
Speaker 1: and that is I know this. I know there's a
Speaker 1: lot of people in the military and the army and
Speaker 1: the Navy and the Air Force and the Space Force
Speaker 1: and the Coast Guard and all that stuff. But man,
Speaker 1: I mean, you think the US spends I think the
Speaker 1: stat I've seen this a few places, so I think
Speaker 1: it's true. If I'm wrong, you can correct me, and
Speaker 1: I know you will. But the US spends more on
Speaker 1: defense than any other country, more than the next ten
Speaker 1: nations combined. So it is extreme. So hey, you live
Speaker 1: and learn, and I didn't know that was the case.
Speaker 1: It is. You got to buy your own, your own stuff.
Speaker 1: So turning the page on that, we did have a
Speaker 1: beach day yesterday. Whether it was great here in California,
Speaker 1: we don't have the heat dome. It's hot, but it's
Speaker 1: not the heat dome. So myself, the wife, the kid,
Speaker 1: kids on some leave time before he goes back, as
Speaker 1: we mentioned, go back to Camp Pendleton, and so we
Speaker 1: went to the beach, had a little family bonding there
Speaker 1: break after boot camp. And so we arrived at the
Speaker 1: beach in SoCal here in Newport, and we had a
Speaker 1: welcoming committee that was there for us. They were all
Speaker 1: about it. Baby. They welcomed us with open arms, and
Speaker 1: not that we wanted this welcome. We were greeted by
Speaker 1: street evangelists, better known by their gangster name the God Squad.
Speaker 1: That's right, the God Squad. Now let me point out
Speaker 1: for those of you in the back of the room
Speaker 1: that we appreciate whatever your religious beliefs are I do.
Speaker 1: We have very happy that everyone bonds. We have one
Speaker 1: common goal on the overnight. Whether you're non religious, whether
Speaker 1: you're atheist, whatever your background is super religious, you do
Speaker 1: you right, live and let live. Generally speaking, the rule
Speaker 1: is just don't you don't have to shove anything down
Speaker 1: my throat or somebody else's throat. You believe what you
Speaker 1: want to believe, and we'll all take care of ourselves
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. So anyway, I arrived at the beach.
Speaker 1: We arrived at the beach, and we were greeted by
Speaker 1: a street evangelist also known as a Jackwagon who was
Speaker 1: out in front. Now the beach is packed, you know,
Speaker 1: it's summer. Kids are out of school, and this God
Speaker 1: Squad guy is out there just next lets evangelizing. We're talking.
Speaker 1: Let me paint the picture for a blind listeners. So
Speaker 1: imagine a like a two by four, but it goes
Speaker 1: up like eight feet in the sky and it's got
Speaker 1: signs from ground all the way up to eight feet
Speaker 1: in the sky and it's you know, repent here. That
Speaker 1: whole thing is repent Jesus, this, that and the other thing.
Speaker 1: It was about eight ten feet tall in the air.
Speaker 1: And if that was not enough, which it wasn't, but wait,
Speaker 1: there's more. The guy had a bullhorn, so that seemed
Speaker 1: to be the problem. That seemed to be the problem.
Speaker 1: If you just hold the sign up, I'm like, there's
Speaker 1: much you can do. But this guy who greeted us
Speaker 1: there the welcoming Committee at the beach, he was he
Speaker 1: was thumping, thumping the Bible. He had the bullhorn and
Speaker 1: shouting his version of the Gospel. And it was going
Speaker 1: well until it didn't go well. And now for the
Speaker 1: rest of the story, well, it was going all right
Speaker 1: until the men in blue arrived and it seems that
Speaker 1: he violated some kind of city code. I didn't get
Speaker 1: into the nitty gritty. I'm not sure exactly what the
Speaker 1: conversation was. All I know is that there were three
Speaker 1: members of law enforcement who had a chit chat with
Speaker 1: this guy from the street evangelist community. He stopped shouting
Speaker 1: and his boorn he carried the sign to his car,
Speaker 1: and he and his friend there were encouraged to move along.
Speaker 1: Move along, now, move along. All the joy of relative
Speaker 1: peace and quiet as you sit there and watch the water,
Speaker 1: the beautiful sky, bright blue sky, the water, the mighty
Speaker 1: Pacific Ocean there, the better ocean. Can we all agree
Speaker 1: on that, like the Atlantic Ocean takes a backseat to
Speaker 1: the Pacific, and it's not really all that close. It's
Speaker 1: not if you do a side by side breakdown, Pacific
Speaker 1: on one side, Atlantic on the other. I've been fortunate and
Speaker 1: I've been to both. Obviously, the Pacific a lot more
Speaker 1: because where I live. But the answer is Pacific and
Speaker 1: any other answer completely completely unacceptable. One thousand percent, one
Speaker 1: thousand percent. All right, turning the page on Hot Ocean
Speaker 1: Talk and we move on to the Great Pizza Caper.
Speaker 1: So let's go back in the hot tub time machine.
Speaker 1: We will go back to the end of the work week,
Speaker 1: the last night of the original Recupe podcast and bar
Speaker 1: working away. They're doing the overnight show. No, I did
Speaker 1: go into the mothership. I went into the mothership. I
Speaker 1: was told there was a time sensitive package that was
Speaker 1: there that was sent in by listener Perito, who was
Speaker 1: a big fan of the show and he wanted us
Speaker 1: to have the gift of Deep Dish Chicago pizza. Now
Speaker 1: I love Chicago pizza, and this was very nice. Had
Speaker 1: it overnighted from the Pizza Place in Chicago, one of
Speaker 1: the famous pizza chains in Chicago, and had it delivered
Speaker 1: to the Mothership. And so there were a couple of
Speaker 1: pies there. As I was told of this, there was
Speaker 1: one for Lorena and one one for me. So there
Speaker 1: were two pies. So I drove in far, far in
Speaker 1: from the north Woods, not normally a night I'm in.
Speaker 1: I was able to move my schedule around and work
Speaker 1: it all out. So I arrived at the studio and
Speaker 1: there there they were. There were the two pizza pies,
Speaker 1: and so I did the show and then they were
Speaker 1: in the freezer. And then on the way out, I
Speaker 1: asked Loraine, I said, well, which one do you want?
Speaker 1: I'm not really picky, and I mean my wife will
Speaker 1: probably end up consuming it, and people at the house
Speaker 1: will consume it. So I said, which one do you want?
Speaker 1: And she said, you know, I don't really care either,
Speaker 1: but I'll take the She said, I'll take the pepperoni.
Speaker 1: I said, okay, fine, you can have the pepperone, no problem.
Speaker 1: So I did the show, packed up my stuff, shot
Speaker 1: the crap with LeVar Arrington and Jonas Knox before their
Speaker 1: show started. For like three minutes we just talked. We
Speaker 1: solve all the world's problems in that three minutes. And
Speaker 1: then I went down the hall and grabbed I opened
Speaker 1: the freezer, I grabbed the pizza and that's it, and
Speaker 1: headed to the malormobile for the long drive back to
Speaker 1: the to the north Woods. So fine, I wake up
Speaker 1: and there are all these messages from Lorena. She's really
Speaker 1: like upset, like what happened? Why would you take the pizza?
Speaker 1: I was my pizza? And she's like and so I
Speaker 1: was like, what is this about? So she thought I
Speaker 1: had taken both pizzas, but I only took one pizza
Speaker 1: because we had a deal. She got the pep I
Speaker 1: got the other one. That's it. So somebody apparently took
Speaker 1: the other pizza because it wasn't there. She said she
Speaker 1: could not find it. It was not in the freezer.
Speaker 1: She thought I had taken it by mistake. I did not.
Speaker 1: I only took one pizza. So now we're trying to
Speaker 1: figure out, well, she's really trying to figure out, like
Speaker 1: where's the other pie? And there's a skeleton crew. You know,
Speaker 1: hardly anyone works in the building, and they can't even
Speaker 1: have live updates overnight, so it's hardly anyone there. And
Speaker 1: it's only a few people, so we're not sure. We
Speaker 1: don't know who took the pizza. Where the pizza went.
Speaker 1: I thought it may have still been in there, but
Speaker 1: just in a different part of the freezer. But Lorraine
Speaker 1: is like na, na, no, she said, it's not there.
Speaker 1: She's had multiple people. Look, she wants to go to
Speaker 1: the cameras, to the security cameras in the kitchen to
Speaker 1: find out who did it. And so, and I did offer.
Speaker 1: I said, listen, I like the pizza. I will give
Speaker 1: you the other pizza. I don't mind, it's not that
Speaker 1: big a deal. But she did not did not respond
Speaker 1: to that, so I'm not sure exactly where that went. Again,
Speaker 1: there's only a few people in the building. There are
Speaker 1: some employees that straddle in from another part of the
Speaker 1: building because there's one vending machine which is on our floor,
Speaker 1: which is I guess the better vending machine. So sometimes
Speaker 1: guys will walk through to go to the vending machine.
Speaker 1: But that would be pretty ballsy just to go into
Speaker 1: the freezer and grab a pizza like that. Like, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's a tough I mean, that is not not
Speaker 1: a solid move, especially when there's a camera that is
Speaker 1: on top of you. It's like, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: I guess they didn't notice that it's a police state
Speaker 1: in that building. Their cameras all over. You are always
Speaker 1: on camera when you're in that building. Now to the
Speaker 1: phrase of the week. That's right, the phrase of the week.
Speaker 1: And this was sent in by who is it sent
Speaker 1: in by? Let's see page down, John in Dallas, Texas. Right,
Speaker 1: So he says, Ben, I don't know if this would
Speaker 1: be considered a word or phrase, but I was wondering.
Speaker 1: John says, if you could please give us the lowdown
Speaker 1: on how boo became an expression of discontent. By the way,
Speaker 1: a well placed boot drop always works well on your show.
Speaker 1: Boomoo from John in Dallas. Well, John, your wish is
Speaker 1: my command. Your wish is my command. And it is
Speaker 1: interesting to note that the almighty, all powerful, all encompassing,
Speaker 1: omnipresent boo a single syllable that has been around for
Speaker 1: so long. I did not realize this that that expression
Speaker 1: goes back to the fifteenth century wowie kauzawie. The roots
Speaker 1: of boo. They have been booing entertainers and athletes and
Speaker 1: politicians since the fifteenth century. Now, in the fifteenth century,
Speaker 1: boo was just a loud, startling noise, something you would
Speaker 1: shout to scare someone or to let them know you
Speaker 1: were there. And it's believed the term boo has Scottish
Speaker 1: or even Greek origins with ties to a words meaning
Speaker 1: to cry aloud or roar and all that. So the
Speaker 1: word goes back to the fifteenth century. But by the
Speaker 1: eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, boo had evolved into a weapon.
Speaker 1: It had been weaponized. The boo suddenly had magical powers,
Speaker 1: and the boo became something of a hammer. I'm going
Speaker 1: to drop the hammer on you, right, I'm going to
Speaker 1: boo you. So it goes way back and they claim
Speaker 1: that in the eighteenth nineteenth centuries that's when it really
Speaker 1: got going. But the opera goers in Parma, Italy, that
Speaker 1: is the legend. People talk about the bronx chier and
Speaker 1: the booing of Yankee fans or fans in Philadelphia or Boston.
Speaker 1: But the opera go in Parma, Italy, where Parmersiana comes from,
Speaker 1: were notorious for booing, and also in London. The theater
