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 cutter 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 3: In the air everywhere, The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Speaker 3: Mahler and Danny g Radio And a happy Saturday to
Speaker 3: you as we continue our mark just the final Saturday
Speaker 3: show of twenty twenty fours.
Speaker 4: We bit a do to the year here Danny, We're
Speaker 4: back at it and old football later.
Speaker 1: Today is the NFL every day except yesterday.
Speaker 4: There is at NFL on Wednesday, NFL on Thursday, and
Speaker 4: then James today and obviously tomorrow and and Monday.
Speaker 1: Every single day. A little football for you.
Speaker 5: Too much for me because I just want to know
Speaker 5: when the draft is. Oh God, no, no, you don't know,
Speaker 5: but I don't know. I don't. I gotta thank you, Ben, because,
Speaker 5: like a lot of Raider fans, I was a little
Speaker 5: upset when the Raiders beat the hapless Jags. But then
Speaker 5: I heard you on your Overnight show, not only to
Speaker 5: Raider fans, but to Cowboy fans, saying, don't worry about
Speaker 5: the stupid draft, and so I haven't been. I haven't
Speaker 5: been worrying about it ever since I heard your monologue.
Speaker 1: That's why I did it.
Speaker 4: It's an act of public service to the community.
Speaker 1: It annoys me so much.
Speaker 4: I learned as a Clipper fan growing up when the
Speaker 4: Clippers were you know, I was a young guy and
Speaker 4: they were drafting in the top three seemingly every single year.
Speaker 5: What's wrong with your Clippers?
Speaker 4: And every year I got suckered in that this player
Speaker 4: was going to be great, that player is gonna be great,
Speaker 4: all this stuff and burned time after time. And if
Speaker 4: you're if you know what you're doing, you'll get a
Speaker 4: good player. It doesn't matter. You don't have to be
Speaker 4: drafting at the very top of the draft. Look at
Speaker 4: the Chicago Bears. The Bears are a great example. They thought.
Speaker 4: We had guys in Chicago on the Overnight show that
Speaker 4: we're telling me, oh my god, the Bears will arrived finally.
Speaker 1: At waited my entire life.
Speaker 4: I wasn't I was I wasn't even alive or I
Speaker 4: was a child when the Bears won in the eighties.
Speaker 4: And now they've got Caleb Williams. They loaded up the
Speaker 4: wide receiver room, the team is ready to go, and
Speaker 4: they suck and Kayla Williams has gone was it nine
Speaker 4: straight games without thrun interception? They've lost all nine games.
Speaker 4: He's not good. He's a garbage time player. And you know,
Speaker 4: down the board. But the Bears thought they because they
Speaker 4: got the number one pick, they and they hornswaggled Carolina
Speaker 4: the year before with Bryce Young, who's now Bryce Young's
Speaker 4: at least turned out to be average, which kayleb Williams
Speaker 4: is average. I think they have the same record, the
Speaker 4: Bears and the Panthers. But no, I've never been someone
Speaker 4: that buys into the dogma of the draft. And as
Speaker 4: you know, Nanny, we will spend once the Super Bowl
Speaker 4: ends in mid February, will have a little bit of
Speaker 4: free agency in the NFL, and then from that point
Speaker 4: until the end of April, it's all NFL Draft all
Speaker 4: the time.
Speaker 5: Yeah, something tells me that people would rather talk NFL
Speaker 5: Draft than the NBA. Right now, the NBA is brutal
Speaker 5: man oh me.
Speaker 4: It's not gonna it didn't break quick. So it's been
Speaker 4: several years coming to where we are right now. Anyway,
Speaker 4: on this edition of the Fifth Hour, we have the
Speaker 4: Cookie Monster returns moving like a sloth, clogged up, and
Speaker 4: the phrase of the week. All of that and more
Speaker 4: for the price of admission, which is absolutely nothing.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I can't believe we are working this weekend.
Speaker 1: I know, I know a bit is you do a
Speaker 1: show this weekend.
Speaker 4: But here we are radio troopers, yes, professionals, no time
Speaker 4: off other than the company mandate. You know, the company
Speaker 4: does mandate, dany we take a little time now and again,
Speaker 4: but other than that, they don't force us to do
Speaker 4: this podcast.
Speaker 1: This is an act of love.
Speaker 4: This is clearly that or we only get paid if
Speaker 4: we do the podcast.
Speaker 1: Either one of those things.
Speaker 4: So I want to be doing this last weekend prior
Speaker 4: to Christmas in the start of Hanukkah was the Malor
Speaker 4: Family Holiday Party, not to be confused with the Ugly
Speaker 4: Sweater Party, which is a totally separate, standalone event. This
Speaker 4: is only for family and select few friends that are
Speaker 4: invited to the Malor Family Party.
Speaker 5: This is when the really good Kirklnd brand liquor comes out.
Speaker 4: This is this is when all the liquor that didn't
Speaker 4: get consumed at the last party is put back out
Speaker 4: on the table.
Speaker 1: But the food has to be totally different. The food
Speaker 1: has to be totally diving.
Speaker 4: So the whole menu changes for the Malar family party
Speaker 4: and a lot of bake goods, a lot of bake goods,
Speaker 4: complete chaos. This is kids, my cousins, my nephews, my nieces.
Speaker 4: They're all hanging out and they expect a certain amount
Speaker 4: of junk food at the Malor family party. So we
Speaker 4: loaded up and I was baking. It was like a
Speaker 4: family convention of cookie monsters.
Speaker 1: Cookies I made. Let's see, I had the gingerbread cookies.
Speaker 4: We had oatmeal raisin, gluten free oatmeal raisin for the
Speaker 4: people in the family that are worried about the gluten,
Speaker 4: so I had gluten free oatmeal raisin. We had chocolate chip.
Speaker 4: We added to the menu this year something the cookie monster.
Speaker 4: We had chocolate chip, but eminem chocolate chip, which is
Speaker 4: another flavor, crank up a couple of notches.
Speaker 1: So we had that going.
Speaker 4: And then since it's the holidays, we had to make
Speaker 4: holiday chocolates. So I ended up making these chocolates for
Speaker 4: the Holly, had some Honoka chocolates, had some Christmas.
Speaker 1: Chocolates, a little bit of this, a little bit of that.
Speaker 1: Ended up going to bed.
Speaker 4: This is leading into the part of the parties on
Speaker 4: last Saturday, so a week ago, and I think I
Speaker 4: went to bed by the time the final batch well,
Speaker 4: and I made brownies too, made some and we used
Speaker 4: your family recipe, Danny.
Speaker 1: It was Geara Deelli Ghiaradeli brownies, which are ridiculous.
Speaker 5: Still reasonably priced, by the way, my grandpa made sure
Speaker 5: of it.
Speaker 4: Well, it's nice of you and the Ghiadelli family there
Speaker 4: to do that, and very simple to make and delicious.
Speaker 4: I just add a few extra chocolate chips and they're
Speaker 4: just just wonderful.
Speaker 1: So made that.
Speaker 4: By the time I got done, the final batch came
Speaker 4: out of the oven, probably six seven in the morning.
Speaker 4: So I was up all night slaving a to make
Speaker 4: cookie monster happy. And then the party happened and everyth
Speaker 4: looked great.
Speaker 1: We had all these food was all laid out.
Speaker 5: It was wonderful, but a lot of it.
Speaker 4: Didn't even get eaten, which really annoyed me. I was like, well,
Speaker 4: I could have gone to bed like four hours earlier.
Speaker 4: But it looked good. And as you know, Dany, it's
Speaker 4: all about presentation. It really is all about presentation. The
Speaker 4: presentation was there. The kids were happy. They all were
Speaker 4: high as a kite bouncing around, and we had a
Speaker 4: little cornhole action. The kids were playing corn hole, one
Speaker 4: of the great games of all time. Who corn Hole
Speaker 4: is the outdoor version of ski ball, which I dominated
Speaker 4: back in the day at Chuck e Cheese. I was
Speaker 4: the king of the ski ball at Chuck e Cheese.
Speaker 4: And I did go somewhat reason. I went to Dave
Speaker 4: and Busters and they have a couple of ski ball
Speaker 4: machines at the Dave and Busters near where we live,
Speaker 4: and so I went in there, did a little ski
Speaker 4: ball action and was great. But that we had the
Speaker 4: corn whole thing going on, and it was It was
Speaker 4: a lot of fun, so good times, a lot of trash.
Speaker 4: The cops were not called, unlike the mal or Ugly
Speaker 4: Sweater party. The cops were not called, probably because alf
Speaker 4: and Birddog were not there. If they had been there, Danny,
Speaker 4: the cops would have shown up. Yes, one hundred percent.
Speaker 4: But it was a good time had by all, and
Speaker 4: I got to try to cook a little less or
Speaker 4: bake a little less for these things. I always go
Speaker 4: over the top and people end up taking boxes of
Speaker 4: cookies home, which is fine, But the whole point was
Speaker 4: like cook for the party and baked for the party
Speaker 4: and all that. And and the day after the party
Speaker 4: was laying around. I was kind of moving like a
Speaker 4: sloth the day after the party, Danny, you.
Speaker 1: Know, I was kind of moving around really slowly the
Speaker 1: day after.
Speaker 5: I think a lot of people are sloth right now
Speaker 5: this part of the year. And then, you know, we
Speaker 5: talk about it with all the stupid New Year's resolutions.
Speaker 5: The gym is packed for a month and then and
Speaker 5: people continue to pay for months on end at these gyms,
Speaker 5: but they stopped going three weeks into the new year.
Speaker 1: It's a tradition, unlike unlike any other.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's everyone and you know, the new people at
Speaker 4: the gym because they get The women get all dulled
Speaker 4: up to go to the gym, right, they have all
Speaker 4: their new workout clothes and all that. Even the guys
Speaker 4: have the new workout clothes that their wives got them
Speaker 4: or whatever. And yeah, bybe, I would say, by Martin
Speaker 4: Luther King day at the latest. The new people, ninety
Speaker 4: five percent of them are gone. It's a great hustle.
Speaker 4: It's a great hustle by the gym.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you know what, Ben, I gotta do some
Speaker 5: cardio though I cut out most sugar from my diet.
Speaker 5: What's kind of taken over? Are carbs harb crazy? It's
Speaker 5: dead sack shit. Oh, I noticed it this past weekend.
Speaker 5: I told you how I took the family to San
Speaker 5: Diego to celebrate the holiday break. It was a fun time,
Speaker 5: setting time getting to the city of San Diego. Usually,
Speaker 5: what with traffic, it could be a four hour adventure.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Normally it's slow and then it picks up a little
Speaker 4: bit and then you get down to San Clemente. The
Speaker 4: Santa Nofree reacted the nuclear reactor and it's the.
Speaker 5: Two big boobs.
Speaker 1: Yeah. This gridlock, absolute gridlock.
Speaker 5: It didn't stop once. Got to San Diego in an
Speaker 5: hour and forty five minutes.
Speaker 1: Wow, that is awesome.
Speaker 5: Since I was a little kid, we've been going down
Speaker 5: to the San Diego Zoo and to visit that city.
Speaker 5: I have never made it to San Diego that fast before.
Speaker 5: What happened?
Speaker 1: Was it just the holiday people? Usually I'm a holiday,
Speaker 1: people still go to San Diego.
Speaker 5: We left in the morning and it was a couple
Speaker 5: of days before Christmas, so people just were not on
Speaker 5: the road, and it felt like COVID traffic.
Speaker 4: As we have talked about on this podcast. I love
Speaker 4: San Diego. I worked in San Diego. I have friends
Speaker 4: in San Diego. I don't go to San Diego because
Speaker 4: it takes too long to get to San Diego. And
Speaker 4: if I could get there quicker, and I live much
Speaker 4: further south than you do, Danny, much further south, Man,
Speaker 4: I would absolutely go to San Diego much more often,
Speaker 4: but I just not.
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's exactly what Brenda said. She was like, Man,
Speaker 5: if we could get here all the time like this,
Speaker 5: we'd come here way more often. The kids love Sea
Speaker 5: World because of the new roller coasters there, so we
Speaker 5: got to the park earlier than we expected. They ran
Speaker 5: around and got on roller coasters, and we took coded
Speaker 5: to all the exhibits and he saw the dolphins doing
Speaker 5: the tricks. You started by saying people are moving like
Speaker 5: sloths this time of the year. We actually saw the
Speaker 5: you have to pay a little extra to hold the sloth.
Speaker 5: It's like a sloth experience. But Brenda sniffed out where
Speaker 5: they keep the sloth hid it in the back, and
Speaker 5: so we go back there and she's freaking out and
Speaker 5: I'm looking at her and I'm like, yeah, I get
Speaker 5: why you like it, but because she has like a
Speaker 5: stuffed animal version. But they move in slow motion, I
Speaker 5: don't know for me and you, they're not that exciting,
Speaker 5: but I guess the girls think that they're cuddly.
Speaker 1: Well. Yeah.
Speaker 4: The other thing about that, though, too, Danny, is the
Speaker 4: the you mentioned the word, which is the number one
Speaker 4: word of the last couple of years in business.
Speaker 1: You can do anything you want if you put that
Speaker 1: word after what you're doing.
Speaker 4: The word is experience. Right, Yes, this was never when
Speaker 4: we were kids. It was never an experience. You were
Speaker 4: just doing stuff. But now it's an experience. And so yeah,
Speaker 4: I got to pay a little extra. It's like a
Speaker 4: little add on bonus, this attack on fee for the
Speaker 4: experience I live with the sloths. Mocky Bulldog is like
Speaker 4: a sloth. She's like a rhino sloth, moves very slowly,
Speaker 4: so lazy. She will not even turn her head when
Speaker 4: you walk into the room. Her eyes will follow you,
Speaker 4: but her face won't move because that's too much energy
Speaker 4: to move the face.
Speaker 5: But so the.
Speaker 4: Sloth experience and how old did they give you any
Speaker 4: kind of sloth fun facts like how old is sloths lived?
Speaker 5: No, because this little area where we went to see them,
Speaker 5: we weren't supposed to be back there.
Speaker 1: Once in the bond, you were trespassing.
Speaker 5: You were going to do it wasn't trespassing because we
Speaker 5: didn't like jump a fence or anything. But they don't
Speaker 5: advertise that the sloths are kept back there. There was
Speaker 5: two of them in this plexiglass enclosure. And what they
Speaker 5: do is when you pay a little extra for the
Speaker 5: sloth experience, they take you back there with somebody that
Speaker 5: works at the park and they let you hold it
Speaker 5: and take pictures with it and all that. So we
Speaker 5: didn't do that, but just seeing them, my wife was
Speaker 5: going crazy. Meanwhile, the kids are like, oh my god,
Speaker 5: look look back in this little private area there was
Speaker 5: a baby dolphin jumping up and down. Oh nice, So
Speaker 5: their minds were blown. They see a sloth and then
Speaker 5: they see a baby doll.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we saw.
Speaker 4: We were We went whale watching, which they have the
Speaker 4: whale watching in Southern California, which is really just dolphin washing.
Speaker 4: I've been whale watching probably sixteen times in my life.
Speaker 4: I've only seen a whale twice, but I've seen dolphins
Speaker 4: every time. But they I'm one of the dolphins that
Speaker 4: jumped up those spinner dolphins was like a little baby dolphin.
Speaker 1: It was awesome.
Speaker 5: That's got to be one of the coolest babies in
Speaker 5: the animal kingdom to see.
Speaker 4: They're pretty cool, they're pretty they're pretty awesome. And they
Speaker 4: were trying this little baby one was trying to put
Speaker 4: on a show, like spinning around because they're spinner dolphins
Speaker 4: and all that. But yeah, if you've never seen a
Speaker 4: baby dolphin, and like, that's an awesome experience, Danny, it's experience.
Speaker 5: Now to swim with a baby dolphin or the baby
Speaker 5: dolphin experience. I would pay for that. SeaWorld. They have
Speaker 5: definitely done a great job transitioning to the modern version
Speaker 5: that it is today. That was a lot of fun.
Speaker 5: And then the next day we went to the San
Speaker 5: Diego Zoo. The whole thing there and you'll laugh because
Speaker 5: this is also called the panda experience.
Speaker 1: What is the panda experience? You sit on a tree
Speaker 1: and eat like leaves, What is the panda.
Speaker 5: They put a panda costume on you, and they teach
Speaker 5: you kung fu nice. Some of us need less padding
Speaker 5: than others.
Speaker 4: Now, aren't all the pandas on loan from China? Like
Speaker 4: China owns the world panda market?
Speaker 5: Isn't that?
Speaker 4: I heard that a while back, that all isn't it
Speaker 4: pandas that are all controlled by China.
Speaker 5: I think you're right, and so that's another reason why
Speaker 5: this is such a big deal. There were hundreds of
Speaker 5: people Benny that were standing in the waiting line just
Speaker 5: to hopefully get a tour in there in the exhibit,
Speaker 5: because you need to make a reservation ahead of time
Speaker 5: to guarantee yourself the panda experience. That's how popular it
Speaker 5: is right now.
Speaker 1: Well not again, it's the experience part.
Speaker 4: It was just pandas, people wouldn't care, But the experience
Speaker 4: part is that's next level.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 5: I think if they just put the pandas out in
Speaker 5: the open, though, all hell would break loose because if
Speaker 5: you saw the amount of people I saw trying to
Speaker 5: get in there, clamoring to see these pandas, you would
Speaker 5: understand why you have to make a reservation for park safety.
Speaker 5: So we get to see the panda CoA got a
Speaker 5: kick just freaking out seeing this big panda bear and
Speaker 5: the size of this thing really surprised me. I mean,
Speaker 5: I didn't know what I was expecting. I've never seen
Speaker 5: one before. Really really amazing though, how much of the
Speaker 5: way that's a great question. We should look that up.
Speaker 1: Probably Are they the size of like a medium sized dog?
Speaker 1: Are they bigger than that?
Speaker 5: Let's see, I'm gonna look that up.
Speaker 4: Weight you listening to our live coverage this is the
Speaker 4: Fifth Hour podcast. Danny g right now is looking up
Speaker 4: fun facts about pandas, so you only get this content
Speaker 4: here on the Fifth Hour podcast. It is a we'd
Speaker 4: like to alert all the affiliates down.
Speaker 5: The line when they are fully grown, they are two
Speaker 5: hundred and eighty pounds.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, well they could be.
Speaker 5: They could say. They could be anywhere from one fifty
Speaker 5: to two eighty.
Speaker 4: Jadas says, pandas can climb as, hize thirteen thousand feet
Speaker 4: and are good swimmers.
Speaker 1: Wow, who knew about that? I had no idea the
Speaker 1: pandas are good swimmers either.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Male pandas sometimes relaxed by doing handstands against trees.
Speaker 5: Since a fifteen months old. They're ready to live independently.
Speaker 1: Oh nice, I know.
Speaker 5: I wish humans were like that.
Speaker 1: Co'd be ready to move out soon.
Speaker 4: Panda panda fur is worth between sixty thousand and one
Speaker 4: hundred thousand.
Speaker 1: On the black market. Racist is it bad? Though?
Speaker 4: The first thing that popped up when I type panda
Speaker 4: into my Internet search engine was Panda Express.
Speaker 1: That was the first thing that popped up.
Speaker 5: There, your reward points showed up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like you, Marcel and Brooklyn. Hey Marcela,
Speaker 4: you ever had Panda Express?
Speaker 1: Where do they serve there? Panda?
Speaker 5: You know, dummy? So after the panda experience, we worked
Speaker 5: up an appetite. I could have got a salad the
Speaker 5: little bar and grill there. Sure did I do that?
Speaker 5: Or did I get a big giant salted pretzel with
Speaker 5: melted cheese?
Speaker 1: I hope you did the right thing and got the
Speaker 1: salted pretzel.
Speaker 5: That's the way to go, you know I did. And
Speaker 5: then the problem was we had to walk up a
Speaker 5: steep hill to get to the polar Bear and Brenda's
Speaker 5: pushing Coha in his big stroller. He was giggling because
Speaker 5: she said, mom power, Oh there's no Qua pushed the
Speaker 5: stroller up as she was jogging uphill. I'm now in
Speaker 5: the back and I'm watching everybody ahead of me, and
Speaker 5: I'm like, this sucks, man, where's my dad power? Right now?
Speaker 5: I felt the melted cheese oozing through my pores.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and did you tell? Did you tell? Calls this on?
Speaker 4: Your Dad's just making sure everyone's okay. I'm kind of
Speaker 4: staying back, you know, I'm in the back. You're just
Speaker 4: make sure anything goes I was supervising. Yeah, yeah, you're supervising.
Speaker 4: You were, you were the ring of protection on the
Speaker 4: outside of you.
Speaker 5: Yeah. We got up to where the polar bears are
Speaker 5: and it was it was funny to see co It
Speaker 5: was like he was being lifted in a chariot. They
Speaker 5: didn't want to bother with unbuckling him and getting him
Speaker 5: out of the stroller because then he'd want to run
Speaker 5: around like.
Speaker 1: A wild Indian racist.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I don't think I can say wild Indian anymore.
Speaker 1: Has that been canceled?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I think so. I think so. Instead, the other
Speaker 5: kids picked up the chariot and held it up high
Speaker 5: so that he could have a bird's eye view of
Speaker 5: the polar bear. Polar Bear was like digging himself into
Speaker 5: the dirt, like trying to cool himself. Looked like he
Speaker 5: was humping the dirt.
Speaker 1: He got turned on in scared me. A little X
Speaker 1: rated dance from the polar Bear.
Speaker 5: Everybody was trying to figure out what this polar bear
Speaker 5: was doing in the dirt. Yeah, it was a good time, man.
Speaker 5: I got to see polar bear, the slough. What a weekend.
Speaker 5: The baby dolphin, the panda was amazing because that's something
Speaker 5: you normally don't get to see here in America.
Speaker 4: That's great. That sounds like just an awesome time. And Cole,
Speaker 4: you'll have to go back several times. But because Cole,
Speaker 4: you had that childhood amnesia, right, Cole, get a little.
Speaker 1: Older, forget all about it. So you got to take
Speaker 1: him back. But the good thing is to be like
Speaker 1: planted deep in his mind, like in the subconscious.
Speaker 5: And we've mentioned it before that we are lucky to
Speaker 5: live next to one of the country's best zoos.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: San Diego is awesome, awesome, awesome town, so awesome. They
Speaker 4: don't need professional sports, they don't.
Speaker 1: Right, they got everything.
Speaker 4: You got the weather, you got the beach, you got
Speaker 4: the zoo, you got world class museums in San Diego.
Speaker 1: It's wonderful.
Speaker 4: You know. DJ Spin gets upset because I got a
Speaker 4: little heated, remember during the Dodger matchup and my friends
Speaker 4: in San Diego, they have this weird situation with La
Speaker 4: where their relationship with La is people come down from
Speaker 4: LA to San Diego and spend a lot of money,
Speaker 4: go to their zoo and leave trash and all that stuff,
Speaker 4: and then head back to LA. They feel annoyed. Danny, right,
Speaker 4: there's this rivalry. But I've always had fun in Sandie
Speaker 4: and I would have. I tried to get a job
Speaker 4: down there when I first started on radio, and I
Speaker 4: ended up working in La instead and been in La
Speaker 4: La Radio ever ever since then. I am such a
Speaker 4: radio loser.
Speaker 1: What else do we have?
Speaker 4: There's a couple of other things I wanted to get
Speaker 4: to before we get out of here. I know, it's
Speaker 4: the holiday weekend. We have things to do and places
Speaker 4: to go and whatnot.
Speaker 1: Here well clogged up.
Speaker 4: So we did have the Malor family party, and there
Speaker 4: was a great mystery at the end of the Mallor
Speaker 4: family So we have this extra side bathroom which.
Speaker 1: Is only really used when.
Speaker 4: People stay at the house off to the side of
Speaker 4: the house, and it is only used usually.
Speaker 1: It's actually not far away from my remote studio where
Speaker 1: I do the show from.
Speaker 4: Occasionally i'll do the remote broadcast from the home studio,
Speaker 4: and so I have a set up and there's a
Speaker 4: bathroom and it's literally just a few feet away from
Speaker 4: where I do the studio work from. So it's great
Speaker 4: for me when I'm doing the studio. But other than that,
Speaker 4: I don't really stay in that part of the Malor mansion.
Speaker 4: I'm in other parts of the house. I don't really
Speaker 4: go down.
Speaker 1: There that much. And so after the Malor family.
Speaker 4: Party a couple days later, I was in the studio
Speaker 4: work on some stuff and I had to go to
Speaker 4: the powder.
Speaker 1: Room, as they say in Canada on HGTV.
Speaker 4: So I went to the powder room and I went
Speaker 4: to flush the toilet and somebody had clogged it up,
Speaker 4: but we don't know who. So I was in trying
Speaker 4: to investigate who could have because I don't have a problem.
Speaker 4: You clogged the toilet up. Maybe you had some very
Speaker 4: thick food or something like that or whatever you're but
Speaker 4: you should let if you can't unclogg it, you.
Speaker 1: Should let somebody know.
Speaker 4: It's bad etiquette, like like I've gone We've talked about
Speaker 4: I've gone to people's houses, you know, and you have
Speaker 4: a situation, but you can't leave the toilet clogged up.
Speaker 4: You've got to either unclog it yourself or at least
Speaker 4: let the person know saying I got a situation, Do
Speaker 4: you have a plunger? And there was a plunger, Danny,
Speaker 4: That's the thing about this. In that bathroom, there was
Speaker 4: a plunger right next to the toilet.
Speaker 5: See, that's what I was going to ask you, because
Speaker 5: you said, unclogg it yourself, but you got to have
Speaker 5: the proper tool.
Speaker 4: No, No, there was a there was a plunger, not
Speaker 4: a great plunger, but a serviceable plunger which was right
Speaker 4: next to the toilet, which would have certainly gotten the
Speaker 4: job done.
Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm like, I just wanted to quickly.
Speaker 4: Go to the bathroom and I had to get back
Speaker 4: to the studio and do some stuff, and so I
Speaker 4: ended up having to like unclog it.
Speaker 1: And it was one of the things. It had been
Speaker 1: clogged for probably a couple.
Speaker 4: Of days, because nobody had used that toilet in a
Speaker 4: couple of days, so it kind of set in there.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you know what I'm talking about,
Speaker 4: but it kind of set in it so it took
Speaker 4: some hearty uses of the plunger to unclog the toilet.
Speaker 4: Eventually it did get unstuffed. But that's how the surprise
Speaker 4: clogged toilet is something you do not well. Obviously, you
Speaker 4: don't expect it, and then when it happens, it's rather
Speaker 4: a pain in the ass.
Speaker 1: We have the phrase of the week. Are you ready
Speaker 1: for the phrase of the week?
Speaker 4: The phrase of the week? Our phrase the week is
Speaker 4: by request. Dan from Vay sent this one in. In
Speaker 4: the phrase of the week, a coach who listens to
Speaker 4: the fans ends up sitting with them.
Speaker 1: You ever heard this along the way, Danny every Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so I had heard this when I was a kid.
Speaker 4: I heard this from NFL executives. I've also heard this
Speaker 4: from NBA executives. Uh, the one, the guy that used
Speaker 4: to say it all the time.
Speaker 1: I was the guy's name. He was an executive with
Speaker 1: the Colts.
Speaker 4: He got into a verbal rhubarb during the NFL draft
Speaker 4: with mel Kiper.
Speaker 1: You know up time, remember this this famous incident? What
Speaker 1: was it gay? Was it Jim or not?
Speaker 4: Jim irsay was he worked for the Colts though Bill Polian.
Speaker 4: I think Bill Polian is what I'm thinking. Okay, So
Speaker 4: he used to say this all the time. And so
Speaker 4: this guy Dan and Vegas sent this in and this.
Speaker 1: Is actually a pretty good one. I've heard this before.
Speaker 4: I wonder who was the first person to say it,
Speaker 4: because you don't you don't know, you think you know.
Speaker 4: Whoever you heard it from first is the first person.
Speaker 4: So it's an old saying in sports that you know,
Speaker 4: coach or a general manager who listens to the fans
Speaker 4: ends up sitting with them, and that you're not supposed
Speaker 4: to pay attention, right because you have the inside information,
Speaker 4: you have the knowledge they don't. And the first person
Speaker 4: credited was saying this was an NFL coach in nineteen
Speaker 4: sixty seven, a guy that we probably don't know who
Speaker 4: this is now, by the name of Joe Gohartchik.
Speaker 1: I've heard the name Joe Kohartchik.
Speaker 4: He was the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles in
Speaker 4: nineteen sixty seven, and he's the first person credited with saying,
Speaker 4: if you listen to the fans, you'll find yourself sitting
Speaker 4: with them. He was the head coach at the University
Speaker 4: of San Francisco in the nineteen forties, he was at
Speaker 4: Notre Dame.
Speaker 1: He was the head coach at Notre Dame for a
Speaker 1: couple of years.
Speaker 4: Was a coach in the NFL for the Chicago Cardinals
Speaker 4: in the nineteen fifties, the Washington Redskins.
Speaker 1: I said it.
Speaker 4: I said it, the Washington Redskins, and also the Philadelphia
Speaker 4: Eagles had a terrible record.
Speaker 1: Maybe he should have listened to the fans, Danny.
Speaker 4: He was fifty eight eighty one and three as an
Speaker 4: NFL head coach, and yeah, not a great record. But
Speaker 4: he was the first person that is credited was saying
Speaker 4: a coach who listens to the fans ends up sitting
Speaker 4: with him.
Speaker 1: And so that is it.
Speaker 5: It's an old article here, by the way, it says
Speaker 5: Bill Pollian basically tells Colts fans to screw off.
Speaker 4: Well that's about rights, that's pretty much. But he was,
Speaker 4: he still is, he's still around. I think, yeah, complete schmuck.
Speaker 4: All right, we'll get out on that, Danny. We'll have
Speaker 4: another mail bag on Sunday, so another podcast to go
Speaker 4: and enjoy this weird time of the year between Christmas.
Speaker 1: And New Year's and well let me back at
