Speaker 1: a names dropper like you. I don't. I don't go
Speaker 1: around I need it. I'm on a first name basis
Speaker 1: with Kevin O'Connell, so I don't have to say his
Speaker 1: last name. I know that's over your head here because
Speaker 1: you you want to brag about how you hang out
Speaker 1: with the low people and the totem ball and all
Speaker 1: that stuff, because that's a big thing. If you're west
Speaker 1: of the four oh five, you're up across your high
Speaker 1: society and all that. But I leave in a world
Speaker 1: with the common person, and so for me, it's not
Speaker 1: that big deal. I just used their first name. But

Speaker 1: talking about what's going on. I loved it. Great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: talking old stories, it's great. Yeah, that's awesome. I don't know.
Speaker 1: You know this. People love stories, guests, people love stories.
Speaker 1: If you open up a restaurant, the first thing they
Speaker 1: tell you when you open up a restaurant is you've
Speaker 1: gotta have a good backstory. You gotta have a good backstory.
Speaker 1: I go to Raising Kanes, right named after a dog, uh,
Speaker 1: and so they have If you go to Raising Kanes,
Speaker 1: any almost any locations will have a sign up telling
Speaker 1: the story of Raising Kanes. Now, I just want the
Speaker 1: chicken fingers. I don't need the backstory. But a lot
Speaker 1: of people love the backstory and so we gave a
Speaker 1: bunch of backstories. So people are welling for well informed, right,
Speaker 1: and they they're knowledgeable about that, and people enjoy that.
Speaker 1: It's fine. Old man radio is fine every once in
Speaker 1: a while. It's not old man old man radio. It's
Speaker 1: not old man radio because you're illiterate things. Is what
Speaker 1: I understand exactly what it is. Old man radio basically
Speaker 1: insinuates that you guys just old guys talking about the
Speaker 1: glory days and not what's relevant and contemporary. It's fine. Well,
Speaker 1: here's the problem you have, okay. He first of all,
Speaker 1: you've never had any glory days. You have nothing to
Speaker 1: talk about. It means righter days are in front of me.
Speaker 1: Then that's great. Well you think that, or you just
Speaker 1: don't have any in your in your holster there, it
Speaker 1: could be the problem. Listen, all I need is one
Speaker 1: silver bullet. That's all I need is one. Yeah. He
Speaker 1: keeps saying that I try to get you that job
Speaker 1: in China, go to China. So listen, when I come
Speaker 1: to you for a career advice, you can go back
Speaker 1: to Tom Looney for real estate advice. How about that?
Speaker 1: You know here I am I help you, and you
Speaker 1: grumble plane. Let's go through the laundry list of how
Speaker 1: you've provided me throughout the years, and you condemn me
Speaker 1: and what I did. I didn't have to give you
Speaker 1: advice here. I did not have to help you out.
Speaker 1: You came to a professional, all right, and I gave
Speaker 1: you the information you requested and instead I instead of
Speaker 1: a thank you, I get a bit session from you. Alright,
Speaker 1: So pooch paradise. Now it is story time on the
Speaker 1: Benmouth Show, and I gasconsin. Nobody wants a old guy
Speaker 1: radio telling stories. This is a fresh story, a global exclusive,
Speaker 1: global exclusive. Nobody else has this. So the other night,
Speaker 1: me and the family are driving home from celebrating my
Speaker 1: brother's birthday. My brother has been in town helping us out.
Speaker 1: You know, my father unfortunately, surprisingly unexpectedly passed away at
Speaker 1: the beginning of one and so we've had a lot
Speaker 1: to take care of and my brother has been out here,
Speaker 1: has been great. He's been able to work remotely because
Speaker 1: of the COVID stuff, so he's been in California helping
Speaker 1: me out. And my younger brother was unable to make
Speaker 1: it from Wisconsin. So my brother knew or has been
Speaker 1: out here. So we were celebrating the birthday with him,
Speaker 1: and you know, it's unfortunate because he couldn't be with
Speaker 1: his family. So but I am family, So I think
Speaker 1: I think I still qualify as family even though we
Speaker 1: don't you know, we don't live in the same times
Speaker 1: on it all that. So anyway, I'm coming back home
Speaker 1: from celebrating my brother's birthday. We turned the corner to
Speaker 1: almost home. We turned the corner onto the street the
Speaker 1: Mallard Mansions on uh, and as I'm turning, we noticed
Speaker 1: this large beast. It looked like a wolf wandering around
Speaker 1: the streets there. And I was like, that's kind of weird.
Speaker 1: And it was like dazed and confused, like it had
Speaker 1: smoked too much weed or something like that, or had
Speaker 1: too many pops. So I'm like, okay, everyone, shway, you
Speaker 1: see a creature out there here, Especially working the late
Speaker 1: night shift coming home, you see all kinds of critters
Speaker 1: and things like that. So I anythink any of it? Uh,
Speaker 1: And my my wife like immediately know. So I I
Speaker 1: drive the Mallard wibile into the driveway. I parked the car,
Speaker 1: my wife and springs into action. Now this was we
Speaker 1: mentioned the weather. This was a chilly, soa count night.
Speaker 1: It was down into the thirties. But my wife she
Speaker 1: sprints like she's in the Olympics into the cul de
Speaker 1: Sac area there to try to find said creature because
Speaker 1: the creature looked like it was sick. Next thing I know,
Speaker 1: next thing I know, we have this. It turned out
Speaker 1: to be an old canine that is now being housed
Speaker 1: in the backyard of the Mallard mansion. So this old
Speaker 1: mongrel who was walking slowly, completely out of sorts and
Speaker 1: all that. And now, mind you, while this is going on,
Speaker 1: I am prepping for the show, like I'm I'm doing
Speaker 1: my copious research, trying to put the show together and
Speaker 1: figure out what I want to talk about and what
Speaker 1: I want to yap about and these dopey monologues and
Speaker 1: all this and jotting down some bullet points and so well,
Speaker 1: all that's going on, Uh, my wife's in the backyard. Now,
Speaker 1: my wife, this is this is where it gets even better.
Speaker 1: I mentioned pooch Paradise. So the wife feeling bad because
Speaker 1: it was so cold, So a hand to God here,
Speaker 1: she decided. First of all, she put out one of
Speaker 1: the you know those portable space heaters. You know, I
Speaker 1: was saying, yeah, the little box, you plug them in whatever.
Speaker 1: So we have a few of those because we don't
Speaker 1: sometimes we want to turn on the heater. We just
Speaker 1: have a room we want to heat, and most people
Speaker 1: have that, I think. And so we had one of
Speaker 1: those heaters and she decided, you know what, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get an extension court. She goes out and she gets
Speaker 1: the extension court somewhere. I don't know where she got
Speaker 1: it from. She then proceeds to open up the door
Speaker 1: a little bit, put this heater in the backyard so
Speaker 1: the mutt could stay warm. She of course gave the
Speaker 1: food and water to the to the dog and that
Speaker 1: whole thing. And it was she was getting upset because
Speaker 1: the dog was not laying near the heater because apparently
Speaker 1: the dog didn't give a crap and wasn't cold. This
Speaker 1: seemed like it was cold, and so it was all
Speaker 1: for not. Now, the reason the dog had to stay
Speaker 1: in the backyard guest gun is because we had not
Speaker 1: only it was Pooh Paradise, but it was all most
Speaker 1: uh pooch octagon because Bella, the Mallard dog, Bella was
Speaker 1: having none of this. And so we had a lot
Speaker 1: of drama because we had to close off the doggie
Speaker 1: door where Bella. You know, it gets busy in the
Speaker 1: backyard pooh, and you know what. And so because this
Speaker 1: this old hound would have one bite, it wouldn't even
Speaker 1: been an appetizer for Bella. Uh if if the dog
Speaker 1: had eaten Bella rather and so, anyway, my wife to
Speaker 1: advance the story kind of the final part of this,
Speaker 1: the the wife posted on there's a neighborhood page. I
Speaker 1: don't know what where this is. What platform is I
Speaker 1: don't it's on Facebook or something like that, but it's
Speaker 1: a you know, the community the streets around where I live.
Speaker 1: They have a community where they post different things about
Speaker 1: crime or whatever is going on in the neighborhood and stuff.
Speaker 1: So anyway, she's on there a lot. She's engaged. I'm not.
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I don't know anybody around here.
Speaker 1: And uh so the story had an happy ending. She
Speaker 1: was able to track down the dog's owner and reunite
Speaker 1: the owner and the dog. It was an older woman
Speaker 1: who was apparently I wasn't there when the dog was returned,
Speaker 1: but it was very excited and the dog, you'd say,
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe seven eight blocks away from where
Speaker 1: we are. But it's you know, it's a weird The
Speaker 1: grid around here is crazy because there's a lot of
Speaker 1: dead end streets and things like that. So, uh so
Speaker 1: there you go. So if you need dog boarding, the
Speaker 1: Mallard Mansion will allow you to keep your dog overnight
Speaker 1: if you want. Now, this is good karma, though, gas
Speaker 1: gun because um, I think it was in December. I
Speaker 1: think it was either November or December last year. Uh,
Speaker 1: Bella escaped right, flew the coop, went a wall and
Speaker 1: got away, and we told the story on the podcast.
Speaker 1: But Bella was returned by a neighbor who saw Bella
Speaker 1: and then drove around and try to find the owner
Speaker 1: of Bella. So yeah, so it had So it's it's
Speaker 1: it's like karma, you know, you scratch my pay it forward, right,
Speaker 1: they paid it forward. We paid it forward so the
Speaker 1: universe can continue. It's good. It's my my pooch paradise. Now.
Speaker 1: Uh you had what is this day of broken glass?
Speaker 1: What is that all about? What happened with that? So
Speaker 1: I had. I had a bit of a catastrophe a
Speaker 1: few days ago. I um as you know, I'd love
Speaker 1: to Uh I left a one and dine a little bit.
Speaker 1: And uh, I take great pride in my cooking. And
Speaker 1: this is something even though it's headlined A day of
Speaker 1: broken Glass, this is going to turn into a story
Speaker 1: about how great you want. Well, this is alarming. This
Speaker 1: is alarming because I don't know. Well, okay, so when
Speaker 1: you usually set up on Sundays during the NFL season
Speaker 1: and you're usually making your pizza, like you have you
Speaker 1: have your your line of sight where you go from
Speaker 1: point A to point and b right like you go,
Speaker 1: you go what dough, sauce, cheese, Pepperoni's or something like
Speaker 1: that combination. Right, well, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do what
Speaker 1: I do. My move here is I have the dough
Speaker 1: and I kind of spread that out. I make the
Speaker 1: pizza from scratch or all buy dough and then make
Speaker 1: it that way. But either way, you know, you go.
Speaker 1: You go the dough first to put the you what
Speaker 1: I like to do is put garlic powder on the dough,
Speaker 1: and then I put the tomato sauce, and then I
Speaker 1: put more garlic powder and some other like Italian season
Speaker 1: and things like that on the on the tomato sauce,
Speaker 1: and then I go to the cheese. Does you want
Speaker 1: the full. You don't want the full, But does the
Speaker 1: powder make it less sticky? Uh? It just adds an
Speaker 1: extra kick to the garlic, is what it does. So
Speaker 1: it's it's you put garlic powder in Italian season? Man?
Speaker 1: Is that good? I was curious. No, I do have
Speaker 1: to put on the pizza tray. I have to put
Speaker 1: a little oil down just so it doesn't stick. Because yeah,
Speaker 1: that is boy, there's nothing more frustrating than you make
Speaker 1: a delicious pizza and then you try to you can't
Speaker 1: get it off. Yeah, it's just horrible. But anyway, So
Speaker 1: I do the tomato, then put the cheese on top.
Speaker 1: Then I put the toppings. Depending on the mood, I'm
Speaker 1: at do like a turkey pepperoni because I'm healthy, or
Speaker 1: I'll put you know, usually bell peppers and garlic, roasted garlic,
Speaker 1: an onion, And man, is that great? That the greatest
Speaker 1: pizza we'll see? I bring that up because of this.
Speaker 1: A couple of days ago, I was making dinner for
Speaker 1: the fam, and um I decided to do chicken. I
Speaker 1: was doing chicken and vegetables the whole nine yards, But
Speaker 1: for the chicken, I usually let it sit for like
Speaker 1: thirty minutes. And then I'll start marinating everything and spicing
Speaker 1: it all up. But I did that. I have like
Speaker 1: my protocol, and I had this this pan that I
Speaker 1: was gonna put everything in, and so I oiled it up,
Speaker 1: turn on the oven, preheated it for wasnt four seventy
Speaker 1: five I think it was. I was ready to go.
Speaker 1: Chicken was ready to be put in. There was like
Speaker 1: probably ten eleven breasts that I put into the pan,
Speaker 1: put it into the oven, set the timer for like minute,
Speaker 1: and um during the cooking, I'll take it out halfway
Speaker 1: through and then just flip all the chicken breasts over.
Speaker 1: Always do that. This is a lot of chicken. How
Speaker 1: many people are you serving here? A large amount of breast? Yeah,
Speaker 1: there was like five of us. Okay, so so each
Speaker 1: person is going to eat to at least two pieces
Speaker 1: of chicken probably under that scenario. Yeah. And so I
Speaker 1: took a phone call in the middle of cooking, and
Speaker 1: it wasn't gonna take me that long. And all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, like I heard a couple of beepings. So
Speaker 1: I thought it was the timer going off on the oven.
Speaker 1: I go to the oven and it's not the case.
Speaker 1: Like there were smoke coming out of the oven, and
Speaker 1: I thought, what the funk is this? So Ben, I
Speaker 1: opened up the oven and the pan that I was
Speaker 1: I had all the chicken breast in exploded. What it
Speaker 1: fucking exploded? Yeah, I was. I looked. I looked at
Speaker 1: the pane. I was like, how do it? How does
Speaker 1: it pan? Was it like a gag pan that somebody
Speaker 1: gave you as a no, no, guess god, it's going
Speaker 1: to explode. It's It's a pan that I've used on
Speaker 1: on many of occasions for chicken, for steak, for vegetables.
Speaker 1: I mean, you name it, I've I've cooked on it
Speaker 1: and I've always set the temperature anywhere from and have
Speaker 1: never had the issue, like never once. And I opened
Speaker 1: why was this night different than all other nights? Guests?
Speaker 1: I have no f an idea? And the chicken looked amazing.
Speaker 1: The worst part is it smelled good and it was
Speaker 1: still cooking so like it was cooing. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: some photographic evidence here, Wow, that is a It sucked.
Speaker 1: You still eat the chicken because I would have considered.
Speaker 1: I did consider it, but I was like, oh man,
Speaker 1: what's the risk reward? Can't do that? You can't do
Speaker 1: that to me the fact if you hear a little
Speaker 1: crunch when you bite it, you might want to spit
Speaker 1: that out. You might want to spit that out a
Speaker 1: little glass teeth action. Well, that's a lot of chicken
Speaker 1: to go to waist there. You haven't defeated to the
Speaker 1: dog or something like that. I had to throw it away, man,
Speaker 1: to throw that panaway, you should have fully cooked it
Speaker 1: and then given it to you know, an animals. We'll see.
Speaker 1: I I when I checked the timer, it was pretty
Speaker 1: damn close to being done. Wow. Yeah, really disappointing. That's
Speaker 1: like the first it's like the first catastrophe they've had
Speaker 1: cooking in a long time. That's no, you had to
Speaker 1: let it cool down thereby we set the vacuum out,
Speaker 1: and having vacuum up all the glass, had to scrape
Speaker 1: it out. Yeah, to get scrape it out a little
Speaker 1: broom and get that sucker out because the shards of
Speaker 1: glass we were pretty thick. So I got those out
Speaker 1: right away. But everything else is small and able to
Speaker 1: salvage the the oven, so I pressed on. I mean,
Speaker 1: I had another batch of chicken that I made and
Speaker 1: actually uh grilled a different way, and it was all good,
Speaker 1: but yeah, it was, it was. It sucked. I was
Speaker 1: contemplating sending you a picture of it when it happened,
Speaker 1: but I thought i'd get nothing but hawes and hawes
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe the picture too on social media.
Speaker 1: So you made you made a wise decision waiting. You
Speaker 1: made a wise decision waiting to do that, because I
Speaker 1: would have killed you. I would have killed you. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not to nitpick, but you might want to clean your
Speaker 1: oven too. There's some I did. I just on the
Speaker 1: front of it there it looks uh that's because of
Speaker 1: the explosion. And I thought you just left it like that.
Speaker 1: I thought you just a pig looking at the at
Speaker 1: the photo here. Yeah, No, I mean because I I
Speaker 1: layered the pan pretty well with oil and um and
Speaker 1: a sheet and then the same thing with the chicken breasts,
Speaker 1: and yeah, I was ready to go, man, and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, just really disappointing. That's crazy. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: I'm glad have you recovered from that? Is everything You're
Speaker 1: gonna You're not cook anymore. But I can't cook you
Speaker 1: sing my my freaking explode here. No, I just I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know how I fucked up
Speaker 1: with that oven and the temperature in the pan, especially
Speaker 1: when I've used it on the regular. I'm sure someone's
Speaker 1: gonna I'm sure someone's gonna listen to this and I
Speaker 1: actually listen to the words I said and start bitching
Speaker 1: me on Twitter about it. But well, that's why Twitter exists,
Speaker 1: for people to complain. That's the reason, the very reason.
Speaker 1: It's uh, they're absolutely all right. So I have a
Speaker 1: story as well, another story metal shoes. So yeah, again
Speaker 1: this is called my life. Um, you know the reason
Speaker 1: we had to stop doing Benny versus the Penny is
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully we can do it next week for
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. But you know, my pretty much all
Speaker 1: my free time has been spent literally and figuratively helping
Speaker 1: take care of my father's estate. So it's, uh, there's
Speaker 1: a lot to do, but mainly the house is the
Speaker 1: big thing. And he lived by himself after my mom
Speaker 1: passed away, uh in and so um, pretty much all
Speaker 1: my mom's it's it's almost like both parents at the
Speaker 1: same piome all my mom stuff. I'm going through that
Speaker 1: because he just left it didn't didn't get rid of
Speaker 1: pretty much anything, and so it's like, uh, it's pretty overwhelming.
Speaker 1: So my brother has been helping out with why it's
Speaker 1: been great. The family has been very supportive and all that,
Speaker 1: which is wonderful. But uh, you know, that's my That's
Speaker 1: pretty much all I do. I do radio during the week,
Speaker 1: which I love. I keep my mind off everything through
Speaker 1: the show, focused on that. Last weekend, I noticed I
Speaker 1: was moving some stuff, getting rid of some stuff, donating
Speaker 1: stuff um that my dad. My dad had left, and
Speaker 1: I noticed my shoe felt a little different, alright, So
Speaker 1: at first I kind of ignored this, and then I
Speaker 1: gave a a quick glance at the old clod hopper there,
Speaker 1: and first of all, I didn't notice anything visually odd,
Speaker 1: so I kept walking on it, but it still felt
Speaker 1: a little out of sorts. So I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on whatever, But I I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I just looked just nothing there. It mus be my imagination.
Speaker 1: So this was last weekend, and then on Tuesday I
Speaker 1: got I opped on the treadmill and I kind of
Speaker 1: heard this clank sound that and I really heard it,
Speaker 1: and uh, and when I was working out, So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna send you a photo here, guess gan, Uh, let
Speaker 1: me see there and check that out. Um, so I'm
Speaker 1: I'm doing and I at that point I stopped. I
Speaker 1: turned the the shoe over, the soul of the shoe
Speaker 1: and uh, yeah, let me let me send you another photo.
Speaker 1: You honest, I don't see if you can see that good? Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I turned the shoe over to examine. Into my amazement,
Speaker 1: I found a large metal screw wedged into my shoe,
Speaker 1: right into the soul of my shoe. It's about a
Speaker 1: quarter inch, yeah, and for some reason I couldn't feel it.
Speaker 1: But it was far. It was just barely far enough
Speaker 1: away where I couldn't It didn't actually like the top
Speaker 1: of the screw didn't end up hitting my foot. But
Speaker 1: I needed pliers. I sent you another photo. I needed
Speaker 1: pliers in order to twist the thread of the screw
Speaker 1: out of my shoe. And uh, unreal. Uh, Now I
Speaker 1: have kept I have it's right on my it's in
Speaker 1: the studio actually here that I did the show from
Speaker 1: the studio. I've kept a little piece of metal as
Speaker 1: a reminder of how lucky I was that this did
Speaker 1: not completely screw me over. But is that wild? Look
Speaker 1: that thing? But the weird the weird part about it
Speaker 1: is it looks perfectly screwed in. Yes, yes, how does
Speaker 1: that happen? Like I stepped on it? Did I twist
Speaker 1: my foot when I stepped on it to make sure
Speaker 1: it went all the way in. It's unreal. The idea
Speaker 1: that you could actually do that but not puncture your
Speaker 1: foot is amazing. Yeah, yeah, it's It's insane, is what
Speaker 1: it is. But that that's what happened. So that was
Speaker 1: my my metal shoes there. I've stepped on nails and
Speaker 1: stuff before, but not a screw. I don't think that.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever the first life ex my
Speaker 1: first virgin territory with a screw. I sounded bad, but
Speaker 1: but no, I uh it was all it was hot.
Speaker 1: So there you go. The metal shoes just another day
Speaker 1: in the life living. See, now I'm gonna get stories
Speaker 1: from guys that have real jobs, like working factories. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I stepped on a chainsaw at one time,
Speaker 1: and you know all those all those type of stories. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but those cats that step on nails like they step
Speaker 1: on legit nails that are probably like inches long. That
Speaker 1: uh yeah, not one inch. So all right, so we're
Speaker 1: at a crossroads here, We're at a fork in the
