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: It's a 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. Welcome into the podcast dojo. We
Speaker 1: are not gasping for air. No, and I have intermittent
Speaker 1: chest pain, and I a shortness to breadland.
Speaker 3: I dare you.
Speaker 1: We do this every single day of the weekend twice
Speaker 1: on Sunday, actually twice on Fridays. Well, eight days a week,
Speaker 1: eight days a week. Holy crap on a cracker. It
Speaker 1: is the Fifth Hour with Ben Mallor and Danny g
Speaker 1: Radio and a very happy college football Saturday as Dion
Speaker 1: Sanders and Colorado take on Oregon later today. And I
Speaker 1: was told by Iowa Sam this week that the biggest
Speaker 1: game to watch is Iowa and penn State. But I'm
Speaker 1: not from Iowa or Pennsylvania, So for me, I'd like
Speaker 1: to see Iowa do well because of Iowa Sam, But
Speaker 1: Danny G. I don't really have any any skin in
Speaker 1: the game.
Speaker 3: Penn State has a really good running game, so look
Speaker 3: for two hundred yards on the ground.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you have LeVar Arrington who went mister Penn
Speaker 1: State right it works at our and used to work
Speaker 1: with him and works at our place and all that.
Speaker 1: So anyway, it's a college football kind of a Saturday.
Speaker 1: On this podcast, we have Beach House Benny, Sound from
Speaker 1: Above Sounds Swim Bob. What could that be a higher power?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: We have Backscratcher, Pop goes the Culture. We'll mix that
Speaker 1: with some scientifical stories as well, and that will fill
Speaker 1: up the all you can listen to Buffet, the all
Speaker 1: you can listen to Buffet. So we'll start with this
Speaker 1: this being Saturday, The Life of Malley, Life of Danny G.
Speaker 1: Last weekend yet again day I'm becoming an old guy, Danny.
Speaker 1: I don't know how that happened.
Speaker 3: When did this start?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I am so worn out by
Speaker 1: my week now that when I get to the finish
Speaker 1: line on Friday, I hunker down and I just have
Speaker 1: to spend like a couple of days just recovering from
Speaker 1: from my week here. So I'm hoping this will not
Speaker 1: continue the entire NFL season. I think we've got a
Speaker 1: pretty good routine now and so it should get easier.
Speaker 1: It will not be swirling around like a whirling dervish.
Speaker 1: I would hope by the time we get to Halloween,
Speaker 1: for example. But at this point it is pretty crazy.
Speaker 1: At the radio show five days a week, and then
Speaker 1: I have to prepare for that, this podcast, which we love,
Speaker 1: and now the TV show. So my weekend, Danny, is
Speaker 1: pretty much dedicated to relaxing, keeping a low profile. My
Speaker 1: wife pretty annoyed that I don't talk much on the weekend,
Speaker 1: but then I point out I have an archive, and
Speaker 1: you likely do the same thing, Danny with your situation.
Speaker 1: I was like, I have an archive of four hours
Speaker 1: a night of audio of me talking for four hours
Speaker 1: a night. I have another three hours of the podcast
Speaker 1: and another half an hour of the TV show. So boom,
Speaker 1: that's it. I've met my quota. We're good. So I
Speaker 1: pretty quiet. And this past weekend, though, it was kind
Speaker 1: of cool because I was trying to, you know, kind
Speaker 1: of chill out, get my mojo back and be loud
Speaker 1: and proud when we get back on the microphones. So
Speaker 1: this past weekend, my sister in law invited us to her, well,
Speaker 1: not her, her family and actually it's not even her family,
Speaker 1: it's her husband's family has like this beach cottage. Her
Speaker 1: husband's family, her my brother in law's grandfather bought property
Speaker 1: right on the beach in Sunset Beach. Are you familiar
Speaker 1: with Sunset Beach? I don't know if you're familiar with that. No,
Speaker 1: it's kind of in between. In fact, it is in between.
Speaker 1: It's near Huntington and Seal Beach, kind of like in
Speaker 1: northern Orange County. It's called Sunset Beach. It's actually pretty
Speaker 1: cool because there's parking. It's free parking, and there's a
Speaker 1: bunch of houses but you can park for free, and
Speaker 1: they've got they got a pretty good setup. So anyway,
Speaker 1: the family owned owns this house, and so they invited
Speaker 1: us all to hang out and have.
Speaker 3: A beach day.
Speaker 1: And it's literally right on the ocean. Like the house,
Speaker 1: the windows are on the sand. They've got a patio
Speaker 1: that goes out to the sand on the beach. And so,
Speaker 1: I know whatever, we were there bonding and I got
Speaker 1: to play uncle Benny again because my niece and nephew
Speaker 1: were there hanging out with them a little bit and
Speaker 1: the snot nosed kids that they are, and uh, and
Speaker 1: I was beach house Benny. I didn't say much. I
Speaker 1: had a great time. They also had some other people
Speaker 1: there that were kind of strangers, kind of strangers, so
Speaker 1: that made a little awkward. They had their kids. So
Speaker 1: then I escaped Danny and I just started walking on
Speaker 1: the beach. I went on a long walk on the beach.
Speaker 1: And unlike the beach I normally go to this beach
Speaker 1: instead of Sunset Beach.
Speaker 3: You should call it.
Speaker 1: It should be called the black Tar Beach racist because
Speaker 1: there's a tons of tons of oil and it's so
Speaker 1: it's such a beautiful each and there's like oil all
Speaker 1: over it, you know, it's it's really depressing, really is.
Speaker 1: And there were some weird birds. I don't know, birds
Speaker 1: I'd never seen before, probably because the oil that were
Speaker 1: weird stuff and all that. But that was my my weekend.
Speaker 1: I was beach house Benny, is what I was hanging out,
Speaker 1: chilling all that.
Speaker 3: And now, when you were walking down that beach by yourself,
Speaker 3: were you pondering the meaning of life.
Speaker 1: I was trying to keep the oil. I was trying
Speaker 1: to like it was like an obstacle course, Danny. Where
Speaker 1: there was pot, there were spots of oil. So so
Speaker 1: to answer your question, no, I was so focused on
Speaker 1: I don't want to step on the oil because you
Speaker 1: get oil on your foot.
Speaker 3: That's a problem, right, you can'teah in that toe socket.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I got bad toes. Well it actually probably
Speaker 1: would be okay because the next if somebody says, what's
Speaker 1: wrong with your toe? So I just got oil on.
Speaker 3: It wrong, that's all.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Danny and I did not. I did not hear
Speaker 1: any sounds from above.
Speaker 3: I did not.
Speaker 1: I was hoping I would hear from sounds from above,
Speaker 1: but it did not happen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I told you last weekend that my WIFEI and
Speaker 3: I were on our way to Oxnard Shores ox Snored, California,
Speaker 3: of course, the home of the Dallas Cowboys training camp
Speaker 3: each off season. Jerry Jones loves the nightlife there, especially
Speaker 3: the spearmint Rhino and ox start Ian thought we would
Speaker 3: take CoA on his first road trip. CoA Bryant got
Speaker 3: his road gear ready. That just meant bottles packed away
Speaker 3: and he was screaming a little bit of the back
Speaker 3: of the car until the sun got covered with some clouds,
Speaker 3: and then we realized Beny was crying because the sun
Speaker 3: was in his eyes. I think we need some baby
Speaker 3: sunglasses because once the sun was covered, he was just
Speaker 3: looking out the window at everything. He loved the ride.
Speaker 3: He didn't fall asleep, No, he was awake the whole
Speaker 3: damn time. It was like a forty five minute drive
Speaker 3: up the coast. We get to the sand there, we
Speaker 3: check into the hotel and we walk in and it
Speaker 3: smells like cigarette smoke, right burnie wah wah, So already
Speaker 3: strike one against this place. It smelled like cigarette smoke
Speaker 3: mixed with lysol. Oh that's great. Yeah, good job cleaning crew.
Speaker 1: Haven't they banned smoking from hotels for how many years?
Speaker 1: Like gazillion years? This has been a long time, right,
Speaker 1: especially in California here.
Speaker 3: What are you still doing smoking cigarettes?
Speaker 1: It's a bad habit, but you know, you know, you
Speaker 1: gotta try to smoke.
Speaker 3: Man, switch to chew, get some big league chew or
Speaker 3: something in your pocket. We opened up the windows. We
Speaker 3: didn't want to call the front desk and make a
Speaker 3: stink or anything like that. We had a little bit
Speaker 3: of a view of the ocean from our balcony. It
Speaker 3: was nice, you know, after being stuck inside at home
Speaker 3: for six straight weeks with a newborn, it was really
Speaker 3: nice to get some fresh air, smell the ocean, and
Speaker 3: just hear the waves crash. There's nothing like hearing the waves. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's the problem. Though. We heard more than waves. We
Speaker 3: get into the evening time and right above us there
Speaker 3: was like a scraping sound and it was almost like
Speaker 3: the sound of marble being scraped across a wooden floor.
Speaker 3: We're like, what the hell is going on up there? Ben?
Speaker 3: This lasted for three more hours. It literally sounded like
Speaker 3: the people above us were moving furniture around.
Speaker 1: In a hotel. Hotel, why would you be moving furniture around?
Speaker 1: And that makes no sense.
Speaker 3: The only thing we could think of was the next
Speaker 3: day when we woke up, there were some kids running
Speaker 3: around around the hallway, running up and down the stairs too,
Speaker 3: and we're like, if you think those kids were like
Speaker 3: dragging the chairs around the kitchen area, it was obnoxious.
Speaker 3: It really sounded like people were moving into an apartment.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you've ever had the experience at
Speaker 3: a hotel where the people above you are very noisy,
Speaker 3: but this was next level furniture moving.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it hasn't happened off and I in Vegas. I
Speaker 1: had that one time. And I the worst hotel experience
Speaker 1: I had. I had a room at a hotel in
Speaker 1: Connecticut where it was right near the elevator shaft, you know,
Speaker 1: and there was like a thin wall and I was
Speaker 1: trying to sleep during the day and that elevator every
Speaker 1: couple of minutes would go up and down. So it
Speaker 1: was a pain in the ash. So that I don't
Speaker 1: think I've had exactly what you were going through. So
Speaker 1: what what happened next?
Speaker 3: That's a good point because sometimes you'll get a room
Speaker 3: also right next to the ice machine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's another on the ice machine.
Speaker 3: Yeah that sucks. So finally my chick was like, okay,
Speaker 3: I've had enough. And when she says those words, it's like,
Speaker 3: uh oh, it's on. Yeah. She called the front desk,
Speaker 3: and this is exactly how she sounded. She's like, yes,
Speaker 3: you know, I've been trying to just let it go,
Speaker 3: but for the past three hours it sounds like the
Speaker 3: people above us are moving furniture. Felt bad for the
Speaker 3: desk clerk at that moment and like, yes, furniture, like
Speaker 3: dragging it, and she said yes, directly above us. A
Speaker 3: few minutes later, we heard a knock on the door
Speaker 3: up there, so I was like, okay, well they went
Speaker 3: to the room to talk to the people, but there
Speaker 3: was also a baby crying, and I told her, you
Speaker 3: know what, I hope they don't call the front desk
Speaker 3: complaining about a screaming baby directly below them. Oh my good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all that is. Yeah, that's the payback, right,
Speaker 1: that's what was that famous family battle of Hatfields and
Speaker 1: the McCoy's right back and forth and all that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna drag furniture. All right, we'll let you
Speaker 3: hear Coha's lungs.
Speaker 1: We're gonna crank this up a couple of notches.
Speaker 3: Yeah. She was holding them up like lion king to
Speaker 3: get them closer to the ceiling.
Speaker 1: That's funny. So so what ended up happened very.
Speaker 3: Much like your schedule. Once I hit the wall, yeah,
Speaker 3: and I did, I just couldn't stay awake anymore. It
Speaker 3: was such a long work week. When I woke up,
Speaker 3: the two of them were collapsed on the bed, sleeping,
Speaker 3: and so the fun was over for that night. We
Speaker 3: woke up, had a good day there by the beach,
Speaker 3: and took CoA out to the sand. We were able
Speaker 3: to watch the sunset there that night, which was awesome.
Speaker 3: Had some good Asae bulls.
Speaker 1: I've never had. That's like fish, right, it's like gonna.
Speaker 3: Not It's almost like a frozen yogurt. They put fruit
Speaker 3: on top of the bowl.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's a fruit bowl. It's not.
Speaker 3: I thought it was. Yeah, yeah, it's a fruit pol oh.
Speaker 1: Okay, I thought it was fish for some reason.
Speaker 3: No, it's a healthy bowl. Yeah, I know right, I'm like,
Speaker 3: where's the bread, where's the meat?
Speaker 1: Yeah, where's the beef? Where's the beef? Please?
Speaker 3: My god? But you know what they're ben And I
Speaker 3: think I've mentioned this on the podcast before. If you
Speaker 3: are ever driving through Ventura County or even the Santa Clarita,
Speaker 3: California area, where you know you've done a meat and
Speaker 3: greet there, Yeah, there is Topper's Pizza. Before we left
Speaker 3: the area, we had to order a medium pie. They're
Speaker 3: pepperoni and olive pizza. I don't know how they make
Speaker 3: this thing, but it is one of the most delicious
Speaker 3: pizzas I've ever eaten in my life. They're only located
Speaker 3: in Ventura County and Santa Clarita, Valencia right there on
Speaker 3: Magic Mountain Parkway. It so if you're ever in those areas,
Speaker 3: definitely look up Toppers and get the pepperoni and black olives.
Speaker 1: I've never heard of Topper's pizza, but I end up
Speaker 1: in that area at least a couple of times a year,
Speaker 1: so I'll have to try to remember that. And if
Speaker 1: I'm not fasting, I'll get like a slice and I'll
Speaker 1: give it a shot. See. That's the next thing we
Speaker 1: can do Danny on the podcast.
Speaker 3: Is we can just do food reviews. What right? Yeah,
Speaker 3: I've ever done that before?
Speaker 1: Oh you know, well, how about this? No one definitely
Speaker 1: has done this. We'll just do pizza reviews. I'll just
Speaker 1: go I'll go to different pizza places and I'll take
Speaker 1: one bite and then i'll give my review.
Speaker 3: How about that one bite? As you eat three bites?
Speaker 1: That's right? Yeah, And then I'll have it be recorded
Speaker 1: and then i'll throw the I'll throw the box down
Speaker 1: after I get done.
Speaker 3: How about that? Good idea?
Speaker 1: Bad idea?
Speaker 3: I have another idea for us, Ben. We could take
Speaker 3: your ask Ben segment from the week and turn it
Speaker 3: into a segment for the podcast.
Speaker 1: I would never do that, Danny. I run a tight ship,
Speaker 1: as you know here, and I practice what I preach,
Speaker 1: and I would never take a bit that is on
Speaker 1: the radio show and then throw it on the podcast
Speaker 1: because that would be irresponsible. No, I'm a backscratcher, and
Speaker 1: we have a deal on this podcast. If you scratch
Speaker 1: our back, we will scratch your back. So let's get
Speaker 1: to the backscratcher. These are actual people, actual human beings,
Speaker 1: that figured out how to write a review for this
Speaker 1: podcast on the Apple podcast Pasi. Now you're probably saying,
Speaker 1: who gives a crap about the Apple podcast page, And
Speaker 1: normally I would agree, But we're just cogs in the
Speaker 1: wheel here at Iheartslash and Fox Sports Radio and the
Speaker 1: whole thing. You're the cluster of audio goodness. We're just
Speaker 1: part of it. And the bosses who get paid a
Speaker 1: lot of money, they like to see the reviews on
Speaker 1: the Apple podcas page for some reason, they think that's
Speaker 1: a big deal. So we're like, okay, we'll see if
Speaker 1: we can get people to write reviews. Why not, what
Speaker 1: the hell and get off our ass. Leave us alone,
Speaker 1: and so it's been been pretty good. And this week, Danny,
Speaker 1: did we get one, two or four reviews?
Speaker 3: Wow, I'm gonna say we got two?
Speaker 1: All right, survey says, you, Danny, are correct. You gotta ride.
Speaker 1: I believeable.
Speaker 3: I always nail this game.
Speaker 1: You're pretty good at the game. You don't cheat, right,
Speaker 1: You're not like Eddie, you don't cheat.
Speaker 3: I actually sometimes I'll look at our overall score, but
Speaker 3: I purposely don't read the reviews because I know we're
Speaker 3: going to do that on the podcast. My lips have
Speaker 3: been on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So here are the reviews. We have two this week.
Speaker 1: First one is from James in Arkansas. He says, still
Speaker 1: podcasting question Mark. I am shocked. He says that a
Speaker 1: big time TV star still has time for the little
Speaker 1: people who listen to the radio and podcasts. It's right, James, absolutely, man.
Speaker 1: I got my publicist, I got my team of people
Speaker 1: around me. It's unbelievable. It's a funhouse of mirrors when
Speaker 1: you're in television anyway. He says, although you don't care
Speaker 1: for college football, I listen to the Friday and Saturday
Speaker 1: podcast when I'm driving three hours to Oxford, Mississippi. To
Speaker 1: see the Rebels play. Lane Kiffin says, Hello, that is
Speaker 1: from James in Arkansas. So, James, there is this misnomer
Speaker 1: that I hate college football. I do not hate college football.
Speaker 1: In fact, I, just like all the other sheep, have
Speaker 1: watched Dion Sanders in Colorado play a couple of times
Speaker 1: this year. I watched every one of their games. I
Speaker 1: watched them play a couple of times. I've seen the
Speaker 1: USC Trojans play on television. I've watched the Ohio State
Speaker 1: play not very well by their standards. I've seen a
Speaker 1: little bit of Michigan about Alabama. I've watched some college football.
Speaker 1: I do. It just doesn't really fit into the Overnight show.
Speaker 1: And so you guys get old set like you don't
Speaker 1: do college football. But I will tell you and James,
Speaker 1: if you listen to the show, you know this already.
Speaker 1: I'm just reminding you that on the show I have
Speaker 1: worked in Dion Sanders' name pretty much every day. Aren't
Speaker 1: we contractually obligated to do an obligatory reference to Dion
Speaker 1: Sanders at this point, Danny, I think we are.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And if you mentioned his Blender sunglasses deal, they
Speaker 3: will mail you a free pair of his sunglasses.
Speaker 1: What percentage is Dion getting from that.
Speaker 3: They gave them cash up front, they gave them one
Speaker 3: point two million dollars, but in the first week of
Speaker 3: selling those sunglasses they made five million dollar.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's I don't know who's behind that, but that's brilliant.
Speaker 1: They don't look that good to me. But hey, it's
Speaker 1: not my thing, it's not my style marketing. Yeah, in Colorado,
Speaker 1: this is this is like the rising from the ashes.
Speaker 1: It's the phoenix rising from the ashes. That what Dion
Speaker 1: Sanders has been able to do. We'll see if by
Speaker 1: the end of today, Danny that story still has the
Speaker 1: same gusto. With Oregon and Colorado matching up this afternoon
Speaker 1: slash evening, depending on where you are located. Next up
Speaker 1: on the backscratcher, we have p One Walnut, who gives
Speaker 1: us five stars and says, what can I say two
Speaker 1: radio legends. Ben Maller brings the noise, he brings the comedy.
Speaker 1: I mean he's a Clipper fan. Wow, that's not funny.
Speaker 1: I should have edited that out. And he says, puts
Speaker 1: his spin on topics worth debating, and he does it
Speaker 1: with no better cohort. On the fifth hour than Danny
Speaker 1: G or should I say Danny G Radio or better yet,
Speaker 1: Danny G. Congratulations. The message continues. He says, these guys
Speaker 1: give you what you need in a quick hour and
Speaker 1: get you caught up on what's happening in sports and
Speaker 1: the world around sports. I am a long time listener
Speaker 1: to Malor on the radio, work schedule, change things, But
Speaker 1: I am recommitting to the Mala Militia as a podcast listener.
Speaker 1: Join the militia. You owe it to you and the
Speaker 1: United States yourself in the United States. God bless America
Speaker 1: and God bless Ben Malor, he says, hurry and download now.
Speaker 1: They have a special offer right now, usually one hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety nine dollars and ninety nine cents a year.
Speaker 1: You can subscribe for life for a total of zero
Speaker 1: point zero zero.
Speaker 3: What a deal.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. I like that, Walnut. That's like those
Speaker 1: infomercial Yeah, back in the day, I love those infomercials. Man.
Speaker 3: That was my jam. And if you act now, we'll
Speaker 3: send you a second podcast for free.
Speaker 1: You just have to pay for shipping and we'll take
Speaker 1: care of all that. And then there were a couple
Speaker 1: of ghosts. Now we tried I've told the story before.
Speaker 1: We tried to get Rompo Pie on the podcast. He
Speaker 1: agreed to do the podcast, and then he found out
Speaker 1: who we were and said, no, he's dead now. But
Speaker 1: then there's also Billy Mays, and I loved his podcast
Speaker 1: because all of his podcasts they were Hi, Billy May's here,
Speaker 1: and I'm selling so and so the fastest, easiest way
Speaker 1: to solve your problem, guaranteed or it right now? You
Speaker 1: know it was the same script, right, Are you tired
Speaker 1: of having bed bugs? Do you wish that bed bugs
Speaker 1: would go away?
Speaker 3: Hi?
Speaker 1: Billy Mays here, you know that'll.
Speaker 3: So good, so so good.
Speaker 1: Anyway, this continues. PS. If Malard happens to read this, well,
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm much too important now, Walnut. I'm a
Speaker 1: TV guy. I can't be reading these stupid trivial reviews
Speaker 1: on a podcast page. Anyway, says and Malor happens to
Speaker 1: read this, my contributions to the og Malor Show over
Speaker 1: the years. We're submitting the joke that got the Hey
Speaker 1: drop from Cooper Loop in twenty seventeen. Oh that was great,
Speaker 1: I remember that. Hey, that was so good, Danny remember that.
Speaker 3: Oh God, of course I used that drop often.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we gotta pass that on to Iowa Sam. He says,
Speaker 1: I of course have the email correspondence framed and hanging,
Speaker 1: and my goal was to have you say the hey,
Speaker 1: but you and your comedic genius had Coop read it
Speaker 1: and Cooper fell for it. The email with you has
Speaker 1: been valued at over seventeen thousand dollars. Walnut says, I
Speaker 1: also submitted a listeners song in February of twenty seventeen,
Speaker 1: a parody of opp by Naughty by Nature, and it
Speaker 1: got played on the air. I have the voice memo
Speaker 1: still on my phone from the six times it took
Speaker 1: me to nail it. And he says, I'm still in
Speaker 1: legal battles with the copyright lawyers with that fiasco, so
Speaker 1: I'd rather not say anymore. That is from p One Walnut,
Speaker 1: who says that is my new nickname. He's trying to
Speaker 1: keep the lawyers from finding him.
Speaker 3: So thank you Walnut, Thank you D's Nuts. Yeah, there
Speaker 3: you go.
Speaker 1: Let's get to pop goes the culture. Here we go,
Speaker 1: job John, Thank you, Ohioal. And these are some interesting
Speaker 1: stories we found as we circumvent the dark web.
Speaker 3: If you will do a few of these.
Speaker 1: And we've got some science stories, we kind of mix
Speaker 1: them together. Maybe we'll save some of this for the
Speaker 1: mailbag on Sunday. But I was fascinated Danny by this
Speaker 1: story out of Venezuela. So they took eleven thousand cops
Speaker 1: and raided this notorious jail where all these crazy, you know,
Speaker 1: criminals of Venezuela have been residing. Now, the criminals years
Speaker 1: ago overtook the jail and they've been running the jail
Speaker 1: themselves for a while, and so the Venezuelan officials raided it.
Speaker 1: They sent eleven thousand police officers into this jail, and
Speaker 1: when they got inside the jail, they found, among other things,
Speaker 1: a zoo, a casino, a nightclub, a pool, and a
Speaker 1: grocery store. Foh drizzle that. Yeah, this is better than Goodfellas.
Speaker 1: This is like next level.
Speaker 3: Those are all the things they're planning to build around
Speaker 3: so far.
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much they already have a zoo there, depending
Speaker 1: on which street you turned out, but it's some of
Speaker 1: those neighborhoods around so far. My god, unbelievable. Anyway, criminal
Speaker 1: criminal gang in Venezuela there, and they've been roaming free
Speaker 1: for years. Why would you ever leave jail. If you
Speaker 1: have a zoo, a casino, a nightclub, a pool, a supermarket,
Speaker 1: what more do you need?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 1: Pretty crazy? So next up we have Krabby. This went
Speaker 1: viral this week. A tourist was charged nearly a thousand
Speaker 1: dollars at a Singapore restaurant when they ordered crab, and
Speaker 1: this woman was complaining. She complained to a newspaper in Japan.
Speaker 1: She was in a travel group. They went to this
Speaker 1: seafood restaurant in Singapore and the waiter recommended that they
Speaker 1: get the Alaskan King Chili crab dish. The waiter said, boy,
Speaker 1: that's the way to go, and so, not really knowing
Speaker 1: what else to get, she got the Alaskan King Chili
Speaker 1: Crab dish, the signature dish at this restaurant. She was
Speaker 1: told it was thirty dollars in Singapore dollars, but not
Speaker 1: that it was the price per one hundred grams. That's
Speaker 1: what she says. Anyway, long story short, this travel group
Speaker 1: they ended up getting seven point seven pounds of signature
Speaker 1: Alaskan King Chili crab, and that meant it cost over
Speaker 1: nine hundred dollars in Singapore dollars, almost one thousand and
Speaker 1: about seven than one hundred dollars in US uh and
Speaker 1: so they She then called the police and said, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not paying for this, and so they had to
Speaker 1: they'd a broker a deal with the with the police.
Speaker 1: That's why you should not ask the waiter what should
Speaker 1: I order, because because if I'm the waiter, I'm telling
Speaker 1: you the most expensive thing on the menu. I'm not
Speaker 1: telling you the least expensive thing. I'm telling you the
Speaker 1: most expensive thing, because that's gonna trickle down to me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. I hate it too when you say you
Speaker 3: ask them between two dishes, they always pick the one
Speaker 3: that's more expensive.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. Yeah, can you tell my wife that?
Speaker 1: Because my wife will do that Sometimes I don't know
Speaker 1: what to pick. I'm thinking between this and this, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, why not just ask me because I
Speaker 1: know how this is gonna work. It's gonna be the
Speaker 1: most expensive thing. I'm gonna get bent over the table.
Speaker 1: I know how this works. Okay, that's the reality. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I'm moving on pop goos the culture. Here's another story
Speaker 1: that went viral. A New York Times columnist posted a
Speaker 1: photo of his dinner at Newark Liberty International Airport, beautiful Newark,
Speaker 1: New Jersey. It's actually not in Newark, New Jersey. It's
Speaker 1: in what I remember at the time I was in.
Speaker 1: I was just at Newark earlier this year. I forget
Speaker 1: the name of it though, it's like it's got a
Speaker 1: female name. Anyway, the guy complained it was a burger
Speaker 1: and fries and a drink. He said, seventy eight dollars.
Speaker 1: And so internet investigators started like digging into this, and
Speaker 1: how could a burger and fries and a drink cost
Speaker 1: seventy eight dollars.
Speaker 3: At the Newark airport?
Speaker 1: Makes no sense? And they determined and people were kind
Speaker 1: of kicking around. They looked at all the restaurants at
Speaker 1: the Newark Airport. They figured out which one the guy
Speaker 1: ate at, and it turns out that his cheeseburger was
Speaker 1: accompanied by not only fries, but a double whiskey, and
Speaker 1: it was eighty percent of the guy's bar tab was alcohol.
Speaker 1: But he made it seem like it was just a
Speaker 1: burger and fries that cost in almost eighty eighty bucks.
Speaker 1: So people were just killing this guy.
Speaker 3: I'm not a numbers guy, but that doesn't seem to
Speaker 3: add up.
Speaker 1: At the town Elizabeth, oh Yeah, that's right, Elizabeth. That's it, Elizabeth,
Speaker 1: New Jersey. That is where Newer Airport is. Which when
Speaker 1: I was there, Danny, I thought I was in an
Speaker 1: episode of the Sopranos. Drive in New Jersey on that
Speaker 1: Jersey Turnpike, You're like, I'm in the Soprano. I'm in
Speaker 1: the Sopranos. I've arrived. Well, here's something that I have
Speaker 1: not fallen into the trap for. There's a new survey
Speaker 1: out that says most Americans leave an excessive guilt tip
Speaker 1: when paying digitally. You know how, they give you that
Speaker 1: thing you got to fill out the tip, and they
Speaker 1: give you options you can fill out percentage of the tip.
Speaker 3: And all that so annoying. I hate that so much.
Speaker 1: Nearly seventy five percent of Americans are leaving excessively high
Speaker 1: tips when prompted digitally on devices like those tablets they'll
Speaker 1: give you at the restaurant or the smart card readers,
Speaker 1: as opposed to an old fashioned dollar or two dropped
Speaker 1: into a counter jar. And they say seventy three percent
Speaker 1: of respondent said that they leave eleven percent gratuity at
Speaker 1: minimum when prompted by a cyber device, and sixty five
Speaker 1: percent admitted to giving more in those scenarios as opposed
Speaker 1: to just when they leave cash, and they say that
Speaker 1: one third of Americans said they feel pressure to pay
Speaker 1: it forward, a phenomena commonly referred to as guilt tipping.
Speaker 1: I'm happy to report to any I'm not a guilt tipper.
Speaker 1: In fact, I am turned off if you're not giving
Speaker 1: me a service where you're not doing anything for me,
Speaker 1: I'm not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've talked about this on the podcast before. I'm
Speaker 3: hoping that a little bit of the tip is going
Speaker 3: to go back to the kitchen. That's what I want.
Speaker 3: I don't want my tip to go to the person
Speaker 3: at the cash register, where that's all they're doing. And
Speaker 3: you didn't help me in any way. In fact, you
Speaker 3: were kind of rude to me. So why am I
Speaker 3: going to give you money? I want my money to
Speaker 3: go back to the kitchen. But obviously they can't guarantee that.
Speaker 3: I'm sure some places divvy it up evenly. There's probably
Speaker 3: some places that do not. It's horrible when they make
Speaker 3: you feel when they put you on the spot like that,
Speaker 3: and what are you going to do? So I always
Speaker 3: hit other because on the other you can just give
Speaker 3: them a dollar or two dollars, especially if they didn't
Speaker 3: do anything extra for you. Forget that percentage though, like
Speaker 3: you're not going to hit twenty percent the cast register.
Speaker 3: A person doesn't deserve that.
Speaker 1: And do not tip on takeout. Do not tip on takeout.
Speaker 1: I don't do it for society in general. Just don't
Speaker 1: just say no. Here's a study that says gen Z
Speaker 1: Danny does not want to They do not want to
Speaker 1: eat if it means they have to put their phones down.
Speaker 1: That they literally according to this study, nationwide study of
Speaker 1: gen zs and millennials about their attachment to their cell phones,
Speaker 1: and sixty six percent said that they admit to staring
Speaker 1: at their phones while cooking, which is not really surprising,
Speaker 1: but they said that it does lead to some issues
Speaker 1: and whatnot, but they don't want to put their phones in.
Speaker 1: But of course I talked to a friend of mine
Speaker 1: about this and they were like, well, it's not just cooking.
Speaker 1: People don't want to put their phones down for anything, right,
Speaker 1: It's just they're always on their phone. So it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter like any scenario you could come up with, they
Speaker 1: don't want to put their phone down because that's that's
Speaker 1: what they're doing. They're just on the phone. There's zombies.
Speaker 3: You know what your average screen time is?
Speaker 1: Oh man, on my phone or on my my computer
Speaker 1: cell phone? Do you want me to go to it
Speaker 1: right now?
Speaker 3: Let me see here at your screen time on the
Speaker 3: air a few weeks back with Covino and Rich and
Speaker 3: it was mind blowing. I think Rich was eight and
Speaker 3: a half hours and Coveno was like eight hours and
Speaker 3: forty five minutes. It's just that's what they average per day.
Speaker 3: It's crazy. I looked mine up. I seemed like a
Speaker 3: normal human being compared to them. Mine was three hours
Speaker 3: and forty five minutes.
Speaker 1: Okay, so mine my average daily screen time is six
Speaker 1: hours on my cell phone, six hours and forty two minutes. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's that's yeah. I'm not woj or shams or anything
Speaker 1: like that, but that's pretty good.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: My computer, that's a whole different animal that I don't
Speaker 1: want to look at that because that's I'm on there
Speaker 1: all day. I'm on there all day, I'm on there
Speaker 1: all night.
Speaker 3: I don't even want to look mostly with like sponsors
Speaker 3: and things like that for the radio show. So you know,
Speaker 3: I'm not surfing Instagram and booty pages the way Rich
Speaker 3: Davis is.
Speaker 1: So that's the difference, not that there's anything wrong with that.
Speaker 1: I mean those by those booty models need to make
Speaker 1: a living.
Speaker 3: They do.
Speaker 1: They have to make a living. No, you should have
Speaker 1: the nervous farts. O. New York City woman is suing
Speaker 1: Starbucks for five million dollars over fruitless fruit drinks. And

Speaker 1: They used to sell it at Costco. I don't know

Speaker 1: very well at Costco because people go to Costco they
Speaker 1: want unhealthy. They don't want health.
Speaker 3: They want a big freaking hot dog.
