Speaker 1: Kabbooms.
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. A very happy Friday to you.
Speaker 1: We are recording this podcast live on tape. I have
Speaker 1: been maut dany g Radio. This is the seventeenth day
Speaker 1: of the month of November, the final Friday before Thanksgiving,
Speaker 1: a time where sports talk radio takes a turn to
Speaker 1: the wild side and you get a lot of evergreen
Speaker 1: sports RADI Danny G is the Man, the Myth, the
Speaker 1: Legend has introduced. Hello Danny, good.
Speaker 3: Morning, Good morning.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's finally the time of year in southern California
Speaker 4: where it's a little harder to get out of bed
Speaker 4: because it's cold in the morning.
Speaker 3: You've got to get a jacket on.
Speaker 4: It's weird, right, like you got to start looking at
Speaker 4: your jacket collection.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's so cow cool, but I do as a
Speaker 1: day sleeper. I love it because I can actually sleep
Speaker 1: and I don't wake up when like usually in the summer,
Speaker 1: when it's hot one o'clock, I can't really get past
Speaker 1: one o'clock because it's too But it's been cooler and
Speaker 1: that's nice, especially have some rain. In fact, there's supposed
Speaker 1: to be rain this weekend here in La. Never rains
Speaker 1: in La. They made a movie it never rains in La.
Speaker 1: But that's a lie, that's not true. We have the
Speaker 1: Cubana surprise. We've got that. Also the idiom of the week,
Speaker 1: which is not to be confused with the phrase of
Speaker 1: the week, of the word of the week. This is
Speaker 1: a different This is the idiom of the week, which
Speaker 1: is much more exotic, Danny, much more exotic than that.
Speaker 1: I love words. We both love words. We like you
Speaker 1: in enhancing our vocabulary or learning some phrases that we
Speaker 1: already use where they came from. Things like that. We
Speaker 1: also have foody fun on a Friday, But as always,
Speaker 1: we begin with shameless promotion, as the TV show has
Speaker 1: still not been canceled, shockingly, which means people are actually
Speaker 1: watching it, which is good. But we need more people
Speaker 1: to watch it. Penny Versus the Penny was over at
Speaker 1: Universal Studios in Hollywood there, which I guess isn't actually
Speaker 1: in Hollywood. I don't know where it is. Where is
Speaker 1: Universal Studios in Universal City?
Speaker 3: Is that where it is? Universal City?
Speaker 1: Do they name the city after Universal Studios? Is that
Speaker 1: why it's called Universal City? Yes? Oh, all right. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I was over there hanging out, had a great time.
Speaker 1: It's always fun going in there doing the TV show.
Speaker 1: So we go Benny Versus the Penny, and it is
Speaker 1: in the bag. It's been sent out on the satellite
Speaker 1: to the different TV stations, so it'll start airing later today.
Speaker 1: And if you've watched Benny Versus the Penny, thank you.
Speaker 1: Watch again. If you haven't, check it out. We were
Speaker 1: on everywhere from Boston to LA It's on satellite TV,
Speaker 1: direct TV, Fubo TV. If you don't live in a
Speaker 1: market that has an affiliate, you can get it on
Speaker 1: the direct TV hook up obviously. But things are going good.
Speaker 1: We're getting loosening up a little bit. I can't get
Speaker 1: Tom to unbutton Tom Looney to unbutton his shirt, but
Speaker 1: we are getting deeper in the fun zone. Happy days
Speaker 1: are here again and the people that work on the
Speaker 1: shore are getting a little annoyed Because I've done a
Speaker 1: little better recently, I still have not had that breakthrough week.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: We did Benny Versus the Penny last year here on
Speaker 1: the podcast Danny, and there were a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: where I just absolutely killed it, where I was like seven, eight,
Speaker 1: nine games above five hundred. Haven't had one of those yet.
Speaker 1: I need, desperately, Danny, one of those. So if you
Speaker 1: can somehow mess with the gambling gods, that would really help.
Speaker 1: That would really help. Like I if I ended up,
Speaker 1: you know, going like nine and three or something like that,
Speaker 1: or nine and four, whereas like five games above five hundred,
Speaker 1: I would be happy with that. But even better, I'm
Speaker 1: all four.
Speaker 4: Maybe you can accidentally food poison looney one week, just
Speaker 4: for one week, nothing too serious. Button my top button
Speaker 4: like a cholo and you'll in. And if it's a
Speaker 4: cholo penny, you'll win.
Speaker 1: Racist. Yeah, I've told the tim said, listen, we're on television.
Speaker 1: You don't have to wear the funny shirts. It's okay.
Speaker 1: You don't have to be who's that guy on TNT,
Speaker 1: the NBA guy.
Speaker 3: What was his name?
Speaker 1: He died years ago, but he used to wear the
Speaker 1: funny outfits. Craig gig Seger. Yes, Segur was great, and
Speaker 1: I Seger did it. He knew that he would get
Speaker 1: all the attention. I actually talked him a few So
Speaker 1: he'd show up to Staples Center and he'd have regular
Speaker 1: clothes on, and then about half an hour before the
Speaker 1: broadcast he'd go into the in the dressing room there
Speaker 1: and come out like Bozo the clown for the TV thing.
Speaker 1: And the players loved it and he got a lot
Speaker 1: of attention for it and all that. So I know
Speaker 1: our people do it. Vic the Brick, who I've known
Speaker 1: for years. Vic would dress like a total clown. Yeah, attention,
Speaker 1: But I've told Tom, listen, you don't need to button
Speaker 1: the top button. Who does that?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Nobody does that? Who does the top button? You don't
Speaker 1: need the top button? No, that's that's it. Look weird.
Speaker 1: You look like you're all uh, you know, you're all
Speaker 1: up tight or something like that with the button all
Speaker 1: the way like that. Anyway, So the show, if you've
Speaker 1: now watched thirty minutes Benny Versus the Penny, we were
Speaker 1: doing like ninety minutes on the podcast, and I was
Speaker 1: doing a solid hour on the radio, so we're down
Speaker 1: to thirty minutes and it airs all over the place. Now,
Speaker 1: the Celtics play tonight the Raptors, so that means we
Speaker 1: get bumped to late night in Boston, which is good
Speaker 1: because I have no notice, and if you guys go
Speaker 1: out to bars and stuff, I'm getting a little collection
Speaker 1: of like photographs of people taking photos at like sports
Speaker 1: bars that have the show on, because I'm a nerd
Speaker 1: like that. But tonight, after the Celtics game in the
Speaker 1: Boston market, which is the place the show is produced
Speaker 1: from on NBC Sports Boston, Benny Versus The Penny at
Speaker 1: eleven PM and eleven thirty PM, so back to back airings,
Speaker 1: so if you tune in late at eleven, it'll just
Speaker 1: air again. At eleven thirty. We're on in Philadelphia after
Speaker 1: the the six Ers Hawks game and something called Bird's Huddle,
Speaker 1: which I'm told is a Philadelphia Eagles theme show at
Speaker 1: eleven thirty, So we're gonna take down Danny g Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 1: Is he still doing that late I've not watched late
Speaker 1: night TVs in years, but I assume Kimmel's still doing it.
Speaker 1: Who else does fallon. Is he doing a late night show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's still those same goofballs. I saw it commercial
Speaker 4: recently for Jimmy Kimmel's, so that tells me he's still around.
Speaker 1: The old sports guy k Rock in La.
Speaker 3: Back we knew him as a radio dude.
Speaker 1: That's right, just a regular radio guy. Now he's mister
Speaker 1: Hollywood there. He's in all the Hollywood causes and all that.
Speaker 1: And so tonight Chicago, ten pm for Beny Versus the Penny,

Speaker 1: Sports Bay Area, we'll be on there a couple of times,
Speaker 1: and also NBC Sports California, which is the home of
Speaker 1: the Sacramento Kings. So we'll be on at eight pm
Speaker 1: and then re airing late night like one thirty am
Speaker 1: on Saturday morning, and then on Saturday proper back on
Speaker 1: the Lakers station, Spectrum Sports Night.
Speaker 4: Yeah, starting at six am'll look at the schedule right now,
Speaker 4: after a Laker replay at six am in the morning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, first airs at six, but we'll be on at three,
Speaker 1: which is a more reasonable hour, and then if you're
Speaker 1: up late at eleven.
Speaker 3: You're more like morning cartoons.
Speaker 1: I'm not a big Laker guy, but g I Joe.
Speaker 1: Remember the old morning cartoons they had GI Joe, you
Speaker 1: had he Man, you had really good stuff, good cartoons
Speaker 1: on Saturday morning. But yeah, so we'll be on all
Speaker 1: day there. And not a big Laker guy, but they
Speaker 1: have a really good cable channel. I am such a
Speaker 1: radio loser, been a big fan of their cable channel recently.
Speaker 1: And then on Sunday we'll be on SNY New York,
Speaker 1: the Big Apple there. We've got our own time slot
Speaker 1: every Sunday, I think every Sunday this football season, we've
Speaker 1: been on at eleven thirty am. That is our slot,
Speaker 1: which is good. So you can watch that if you're
Speaker 1: in the New York area, you watch that, and then
Speaker 1: that kind of leads into the NFL pregame shows and
Speaker 1: you can watch those and then you're good to go.
Speaker 1: It's all you need. And there's a bunch of other showings.
Speaker 1: I don't have time to go through all the TV listings,
Speaker 1: as you like to say, Danny, just check your local
Speaker 1: cable TV listings because it does air other plays. But
Speaker 1: these are the ones I know, I know you can
Speaker 1: get it at these these times today and tomorrow and
Speaker 1: all that. So last weekend, as we turned the pace,
Speaker 1: last weekend was a rather eventful weekend, which is good
Speaker 1: content for the pod. And you know the only reason
Speaker 1: I leave my house, Danny, is so we have new
Speaker 1: things to talk about on this podcast. Otherwise I would
Speaker 1: just stay at my house and I would not go anywhere.
Speaker 1: That would be it. I just wouldn't leave. So Friday
Speaker 1: night I was a social butterfly. Either that or I
Speaker 1: was taken hostage by my wife. Destination Lo Discarga. Have
Speaker 1: you ever been to load Discargo, Danny, No, It sounds
Speaker 1: like a golf course. Sounds like a golf course, not
Speaker 1: a golf course. Not a golf course. This was at night.
Speaker 1: It is a Cuban speak easy Cuban speakeasy. It's on
Speaker 1: Northwestern Avenue in the heart of La. Do they shove
Speaker 1: a cigar in your mouth as you enter? They do
Speaker 1: have a cigar bar. It's a Latin jazz club. They
Speaker 1: have live music, dancing, dining, very chic elegance. So the
Speaker 1: wife liked it. There's a dress code. I hate dress codes.
Speaker 1: There was a dress code.
Speaker 3: What did you do?
Speaker 1: I put on my put on my church clothes, in
Speaker 1: my synagogue clothes. I was upscale attire. Only I should
Speaker 1: have just worn the I should have worn the TV outfit.
Speaker 1: That would have been funny uniform I wear every week.
Speaker 3: But you're dressed as baller Benny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is a speakeasy. Now are you and
Speaker 1: the wife fans of the speakeasy? I should just ask
Speaker 1: your wife.
Speaker 3: If she likes the speakeasy setup. We've never been to
Speaker 3: one before.
Speaker 1: No, what about Capos in Vegas? You ever been to
Speaker 1: Capos in Vegas? You've never been?
Speaker 4: Huh, I've never been on the West Coast. I had
Speaker 4: a record company executive take me to one in New
Speaker 4: York one time when I was there for a radio convention.
Speaker 4: But as far as going to one with the wife
Speaker 4: even never, we've never been.
Speaker 1: Oh, when your son's a little older and you're able
Speaker 1: to leave and go do things, you should you should go.
Speaker 1: There's some It's not really my jam. She liked, My
Speaker 1: wife likes him. So we Capos is this Italian restaurant
Speaker 1: in Vegas. And the actually NBC on Sunday, the Raider
Speaker 1: Sunday Night game, they showed Capos. I was like shocked.
Speaker 1: I was like Wow, it's like a random speakeasy in
Speaker 1: a mall. Not a mall, but it's like an outdoor
Speaker 1: mall type thing. And it's in the parking lot. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, that's kind of kind of crazy. But
Speaker 1: this lot of Scarga plays, I got the dress code
Speaker 1: all that. There's a hidden doors to speak easy, there's
Speaker 1: a you know, it's a Raman cigar bar. They claim
Speaker 1: it's very reminiscent of Little Havanna, But I don't know.
Speaker 1: Have you been to Havana?
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 1: I have no idea. But when you think of me, Danny,
Speaker 1: you think of that rumba or the cha cha cha, right,
Speaker 1: those are things that you think of when you think
Speaker 1: of me dancing. But this was this was actually a
Speaker 1: special event. So one of the officers that my wife,
Speaker 1: she's a nine one one operator, So one of the
Speaker 1: officers she works with was celebrating his birthday and so
Speaker 1: a bunch of his friends and people from work, you know,
Speaker 1: nobody from my circle, and they planned this big night out.
Speaker 1: And so, as I said, I got all dressed up.
Speaker 1: You know, I hate doing that. But whatever went to
Speaker 1: this grand club, big bar. You go in, you walk upstairs,
Speaker 1: you go through like this hidden door, and then you
Speaker 1: go downstairs and the speakeasy thing and you have randomly,
Speaker 1: you have a live band, but you have Cuban burlesque
Speaker 1: dancers in lingerie shaking their you know whatever their mama
Speaker 1: gave them.
Speaker 3: Okay, this place sounds promising.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so that's like random. Like you're just like
Speaker 1: having a drink and you look up and there's like
Speaker 1: a woman shaking your boobs. You know, it's right there.
Speaker 1: And uh so, since we had a big group, the
Speaker 1: wife and the people that were celebrating this guy's birthday
Speaker 1: bought a table. So now we're sitting, you know, at
Speaker 1: the club, Danny, I'm not a club guy, but at
Speaker 1: the club that's VIP, right, that's big y.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Bottle bottle service, Yes, we had bottle service. So rolled
Speaker 1: out the red carpet and you know, dancing the samba,
Speaker 1: enjoying that salt of flavor and all that, and the
Speaker 1: man of honor was not there. We were like, where
Speaker 1: where is this guy? And so my wife's like, he
Speaker 1: starts texting the guy, and then a couple of other
Speaker 1: people are texting and trying to call them and get
Speaker 1: a hold of him, and and and nobody answers, right,
Speaker 1: so we're like, oh, that's kind of you know, you
Speaker 1: go to the club, you don't want to get there
Speaker 1: too early. There's I've learned the lingo like you don't
Speaker 1: want to get there too early. There's like a fine
Speaker 1: line when you want to get So so we got
Speaker 1: there a little too early. But then you're like, you
Speaker 1: want to be the person that shows up at like
Speaker 1: ten or eleven, you know, goes laid into the night.
Speaker 1: And so she's texting and calling this guy is his
Speaker 1: birthday party? And he didn't answer. So we soon got
Speaker 1: a Cubana surprise, Danny, and as Paul Harvey would say,
Speaker 1: you know what the news is. But now you're about
Speaker 1: to get the rest of the story. So it turns out,
Speaker 1: after several text messages and phone calls, we never got
Speaker 1: a hold of the person we went out to celebrate
Speaker 1: whose birthday it was. You see, now the rest of
Speaker 1: the story. This gentleman laid down after a very long
Speaker 1: day for a short nap. He visited dream Town and
Speaker 1: did not return until the club had already been closed.
Speaker 1: So we all got to enjoy a nice night out
Speaker 1: at a Cuban speakeasy without Danny the Star the show,
Speaker 1: which I would say is the oddest birthday party I
Speaker 1: have attended. I've heard of the phrase he'd be late
Speaker 1: to your own funeral. I've never heard don't even show
Speaker 1: up to your own birthday party. That we should make
Speaker 1: that a phrase. We can make that at an idiom.
Speaker 4: Good timing for this story, because I just read the
Speaker 4: other day a little thing about how Walt Disney, on
Speaker 4: opening day of the park, his head engineer was trying
Speaker 4: to fix the power on one of the rides, I
Speaker 4: think the Toad ride or something like that. They thought
Speaker 4: the power cable had been cut. He tells Walt, don't worry,
Speaker 4: I'll go over there and figure it out. So he
Speaker 4: goes over to the ride and it turns out somebody
Speaker 4: had just unplugged something, so.
Speaker 3: It was an easy fix. He plugs it in.
Speaker 4: Walt Disney thinks he's busy with this big job, you know,
Speaker 4: putting wires back together, so he goes behind the Toad
Speaker 4: ride and falls asleep for hours. He missed the opening
Speaker 4: of the park because it's sleeping behind the ride.
Speaker 1: Oh that's great, Well, I wish I could sleep like that.
Speaker 1: I'm jealous of people that have the sleep. Do you
Speaker 1: have the sleep I don't have the sleep power. I'm
Speaker 1: lacking the sleep power.
Speaker 4: My chick says, you can sleep anywhere if you're tired. Yeah,
Speaker 4: if I'm tired enough, I can knock out as long
Speaker 4: as I have like a pillow or a jacket or
Speaker 4: something to lay my head on. If there's a lot
Speaker 4: of noise and stuff around me, it doesn't really bother
Speaker 4: me all that much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like my week lately because of the TV stuff,
Speaker 1: Like early in the week, I do okay. Like on
Speaker 1: the weekends, I obviously get enough sleep, and then Monday
Speaker 1: and Tuesday are pretty good. But starting Wednesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Speaker 1: and Friday total shit show, total shit show. And so
Speaker 1: it's like three days a week is really really nasty
Speaker 1: in the sleep department. But yeah, you win, some lose
Speaker 1: something really quick.
Speaker 4: Did this guy like see pictures of the party that
Speaker 4: would suck? Right, you're finally awake and you look at
Speaker 4: pictures of everyone having a great time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we thought he was dead. We're happy he's
Speaker 1: breathing again, so we we were concerned about that. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he was you know, I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know that he felt that terrible about it. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you had you got to sleep, you gotta sleep,
Speaker 1: I guess. And that's it. And he passed out, and
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's done that before. He's going
Speaker 1: to retire soon, so I was like, I told my wife,
Speaker 1: are we having a big retirement party. He's not gonna
Speaker 1: show up to that either. You know. It's like, come
Speaker 1: on time now for the idiom of the week, which
Speaker 1: is not to be confused and with the phrase of
Speaker 1: the week, that's a totally different bit or the word.
Speaker 3: Of the week.
Speaker 1: This this is only the idiom of the week, that's
Speaker 1: all it is. This is like the sports car of words.
Speaker 1: This is this is big, all right. This is a
Speaker 1: massive thing idiom of the week, and we're very excited
Speaker 1: to have it. We're gonna get a big sponsor. I
Speaker 1: know they're working on that right now. A lot of
Speaker 1: live commercials, a lot of live commercials. I know that's coming.
Speaker 1: So the idiom of the week is stiff upper lip.
Speaker 1: You ever heard that you got to keep a stiff
Speaker 1: upper lip, right, which is of course, yeah, way to
Speaker 1: be brave or you know, in the face of the
Speaker 1: crap that happens in everyone's life.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: See, you get a couple of bad breaks. Things don't
Speaker 1: go your way, whether it's medical or work or relationship.
Speaker 3: Whatever might.
Speaker 1: So you got to control yourself. You can't get upset.
Speaker 1: You gotta be firm, you gotta be locked in and
Speaker 1: all that. And so it's stiff upper lip. It's been around.
Speaker 1: So where does the phrase come from? The idiom of
Speaker 1: the week. The phrase stiff upper lip has been traced
Speaker 1: all the way back to ancient Greece, to the Spartans.
Speaker 1: I better let sparty know the Spartans. And so the
Speaker 1: cult of discipline self sacrifice was an inspiration. It was
Speaker 1: an inspiration to the English public school system and the Stoics,
Speaker 1: and those ideas were adopted by the Romans, and the
Speaker 1: concept reached England in the fifteen nineties. We're going way
Speaker 1: way back. The phrase became symbolic of the British people,
Speaker 1: and really it was more for the students in the
Speaker 1: fifteen nineties there during the Victorian era. I like those
Speaker 1: Victorian style homes. I like those. My favorite thre are
Speaker 1: the craftsmen homes. I love those craftsmen so they're really
Speaker 1: really good. But then I get depressed because those were
Speaker 1: built with the wood from the Great Redwood Forest of California.
Speaker 1: They chopped down to build those houses, and I get
Speaker 1: bummed out because I love going to the giant forest
Speaker 1: in Sequoia. And anyway, get back to the point police,
Speaker 1: So stiff upper lip goes of all the way back
Speaker 1: to ancient Greece. It also continued on through England in
Speaker 1: the fifteen nineties and the phrase the week stiff upper lip.
Speaker 1: I guess it was immortalized.
Speaker 3: You said phrase or did I say.
Speaker 1: Phrase of the week? Goofed? I've got to know idiom
Speaker 1: of the week. It was also part of a famous
Speaker 1: poem which I will not attempt to pronounce because why
Speaker 1: would I pronounce that? Just no way to pronounce that properly.
Speaker 1: We all got to eat big time of the year,
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving a holiday built around food, and you might go
Speaker 1: out and eat. You don't just have to eat turkey.
Speaker 1: There's other things like you eat, you can eat, so
Speaker 1: we have foody fun. The hits just keep coming on
Speaker 1: the podcast, They just keep coming. Foody fun under the sun.
Speaker 1: As we head into thanks Giving.
Speaker 4: We have you checked your inbox. I can't believe that
Speaker 4: dude hasn't made an intro for us yet.
Speaker 1: I did not see I did not see anything this week.
Speaker 1: I think you scared all the music guys away, Danny
Speaker 1: when you scolded our friend from Richmond.
Speaker 3: I think you didn't them.
Speaker 4: I was just having fun because of time constraints, I know,
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 1: So we we've done thanks ye, I've done Thanksgiving shows
Speaker 1: over the years, and I'm always fascinated by the guys
Speaker 1: that go out to get a bite to eat on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: You know, that's to me, that's to day. You know,
Speaker 1: you stay home, but some people like to go out
Speaker 1: and have their Thanksgiving meal out and about right, That's
Speaker 1: the thing.
Speaker 4: We've actually been considering going out this year because it's
Speaker 4: hard for you know, the wife to be in the
Speaker 4: kitchen with the baby right now.
Speaker 1: For sure, Yeah in your situation, totally get it. But
Speaker 1: some people who don't have a kid just want to
Speaker 1: you know, they're just lazy exactly. So I have as
Speaker 1: a public service announcement, which we do not have have
Speaker 1: to do because this is a podcast. I only have
Speaker 1: to do that on the radio. But here we have
Speaker 1: a list of but not a list, it's more of
Speaker 1: a big board of restaurant chains that are going to
Speaker 1: be open on Thanksgiving Day. Now, I remember back when
Speaker 1: I was single and had nothing going on. I was
Speaker 1: working radio, and I had to eat on Christmas and Thanksgiving,
Speaker 1: and oftentimes it was very difficult. I found the hardest
Speaker 1: day to eat Christmas Eve, hardest day to find food.
Speaker 1: Christmas there'll be some things open, usually Chinese restaurants, and
Speaker 1: then Thanksgiving was hit and miss. But here I'll give you.

Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 3: One million dollars?
Speaker 1: Gotta be right, man, That thing got so much airplay
Speaker 1: on radio and also obviously television, but you know, doing
Speaker 1: sports radio in the late nineties, it was on non stop, right.
Speaker 1: We had we had a sponsor. I ate so much,
Speaker 1: so much chilies we were doing. We were doing an
Speaker 1: event on the top of the Capitol Records Building, the
Speaker 1: famous Capitol Records Building in Hollywood, and the sponsor was Chili's.
Speaker 1: And I think what they did is they just got
Speaker 1: free food as part of the deal, you know, because
Speaker 1: they cut the they give them like free spots or whatever.
Speaker 1: But we had so much chilies. It was wild man.
Speaker 1: We were sitting on the top of the Capitol Records
Speaker 1: Building eating like we were going through the entire menu,
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what we wanted.
Speaker 4: You were shoving those southwesternrolls into your mouth.
Speaker 1: It was It was wild man. And so anyway, baby
Speaker 1: Back Rip jingle is nostalgia. You can't go wrong with nostalgia.
Speaker 1: You can't you can't go wrong. People love it, loved
Speaker 1: the nostalgie. We have new items. Let's see if any
Speaker 1: of these hit your palette. Danny Danny's has put French
Speaker 1: toast several different French toast dishes on their permanent menu.
Speaker 1: I know you're concerned about that, but they're going all
Speaker 1: in on the French toast. Carls Junior has rolled out
Speaker 1: a new guacamole bacon burger. I don't know if I
Speaker 1: need that. I do like this. Taco Bells got rolled
Speaker 1: chicken tacos, which I used to call those tiketos back
Speaker 1: in the day. Those are pretty good. They've also got
Speaker 1: their five dollars cravings Back Cravings Box Back. Jack in
Speaker 1: the Box is testing new crispy chicken wings with three varieties.
Speaker 1: They say, yeah, not a fan of the Jack and
Speaker 1: Jack in the Box wings.
Speaker 4: I don't think any fast food places could do a
Speaker 4: good job with wings.
Speaker 1: Just you don't just put them in the deep fryer
Speaker 1: and that's it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he'd been sitting around all day frying fries and
Speaker 4: other crap.
Speaker 3: Probably not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, speaking of that, actually this has popped up.
Speaker 1: I've known about this for years, but not everyone knows
Speaker 1: these things. The McDonald's hack has gone viral again on
Speaker 1: how to get fresh piping hot fries. Don't mean you
Speaker 1: know this right, Danny. You're a seasoned veteran of McDonald's.
Speaker 1: But the trick is you go into McDonald's and you
Speaker 1: say Hey, I want my fries with no salt, So
Speaker 1: now they have to make the fries with no salt.
Speaker 1: But then you ask for salt packets and you end
Speaker 1: up spending ten minutes pouring salt over your fries. At
Speaker 1: least they're fresh. At least they're fresh. So there is.
Speaker 4: That what I've done before. It's been a while because
Speaker 4: those fries will kill you. But when my wife was
Speaker 4: first pregnant, she was craving those to make sure they
Speaker 4: were fresh. I asked, can I please get a batch
Speaker 4: that's lightly salted?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Okay, there you go.
Speaker 3: That's kay.
Speaker 4: So that yeah, then you don't have to spend all
Speaker 4: that time with the packets.
Speaker 1: It's a good move. It's a solid move. Do you
Speaker 1: like those nacho fries from Taco Bell. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you're you're not.
Speaker 4: A big not a big fan. I like what they
Speaker 4: dip in. I'm not a big fan of the coating.
Speaker 4: It's too thick, too thick.
Speaker 1: Well, they people apparently love these things, and they have
Speaker 1: launched a subscription. Now that's like next level. You should
Speaker 1: just go directly to the fat Farm. If you're getting
Speaker 1: the Taco Bell subscription to nacho fries, I think, But
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're into this, we teach their own.
Speaker 1: It is a new Nacho Fry Lover's Pass and it
Speaker 1: just became available a few days ago. So the way
Speaker 1: this the way this.
Speaker 4: Works for fat asses man for ten dollars, ten dollars
Speaker 4: the fat Ass Pass exactly for ten dollars for reard members.
Speaker 4: With this program, members have access to a regular nacho
Speaker 4: fry order every day for thirty consecutive days, or through
Speaker 4: December fourth, so you can get your fries there. How
Speaker 4: much your nacho fries? Are they a couple of bucks?
Speaker 4: How much is a regular nacho for I don't know.
Speaker 3: That's probably like four to five dollars now.
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Well ten bucks. Then that's actually a good deal. You
Speaker 1: don't have to do the thirty day thing. But I
Speaker 1: don't know, I feel just like weird. I'm back again.
Speaker 1: I'd like yeah, I like that. It says what else?
Speaker 1: Talk about the interest the grilled cheese nacho fries. Oh,
Speaker 1: here we go, the new iteration. You're right, Danny, look
Speaker 1: at you? For nine Yeah, so all you have to
Speaker 1: do is go twice and I assume for the ten dollars,
Speaker 1: it's got to be more than ten bucks, right, that
Speaker 1: can't be. They'd lose their ass on that. Oh, they
Speaker 1: must assume you're gonna buy some other stuff. Maybe that's it.
Speaker 4: They think you're just yeah, exactly, You're not just gonna
Speaker 4: get the one item.
Speaker 1: I would get the one item. I'd be like, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm good, give me the small bag, I want the fries.
Speaker 1: I'm good to go. Thank you very much, thank you.
Speaker 4: Remember this is a fat ass pass, so you need
Speaker 4: a lot more items than just the one.
Speaker 1: That is a fair point, and we'll get out on
Speaker 1: foody fun on this. The good people that Hershey's from Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: Where do you know what record was set? What sports
Speaker 1: record was set in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Hmm, see here, Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Speaker 1: Chamberlain holding up the paper that said one hundred. Yeah
Speaker 1: that in nineteen sixty two. The game was played in Hershey, Pennsylvania,
Speaker 1: Hershey Park Arena.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's where the magic happened. I assume that's
Speaker 1: been torn down long long ago, but not in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: It's like when I think when Kareem set the scoring
Speaker 1: record of which has been broken by Lebron, didn't he
Speaker 1: do that in Las Vegas against the Utah Jazz. I
Speaker 1: want to say he did random factoids because the Jazz
Speaker 1: used to play games in Vegas for some reason. I
