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 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 1: In the air everywhere, And a happy Saturday to you.
Speaker 1: It is the fourteenth day of December, and you have
Speaker 1: snumbled onto the Fifth Hour with me, Ben Mahler and
Speaker 1: Danny g Radio and we have a home inger, a
Speaker 1: hum inger of a story for you. So, Danny, you're
Speaker 1: never supposed to know how they make the hot dogs,
Speaker 1: right they say that, don't. You're not supposed to know
Speaker 1: how they make the hot dogs. But on this day
Speaker 1: here we need to go behind the microphone. So both
Speaker 1: of us are very busy. We have first world jobs,
Speaker 1: first world problems, right, dannyway, We're both very lucky we
Speaker 1: were able to survive and radio and broadcasting and stuff.
Speaker 1: So and this podcast is a labor of love, right,
Speaker 1: we do it get paid a lot of money for this.
Speaker 1: It's just, you know, we do it because we like it.
Speaker 1: It's fun and.
Speaker 3: I'm actually on an internship pretty much.
Speaker 1: And so so anyway, we do it for fun and
Speaker 1: we have a good time. And fortunately we built up
Speaker 1: a pretty good following and you guys have been great
Speaker 1: and you listen to the podcast every weekend while you,
Speaker 1: according to the feedback we get while you do your
Speaker 1: your honeydeist or you're just hanging out at the house
Speaker 1: whatever you might be doing. So great. So we recorded
Speaker 1: a very odd hour for us. And I've been doing
Speaker 1: this podcast. Oh god, I don't even know, man, it's
Speaker 1: been like, how many years has this been with you?
Speaker 3: I mean it's been three and a half with me
Speaker 3: and I did it.
Speaker 1: With guess it's probably been almost six or seven years.
Speaker 1: I've been doing this Podcast's been a long time. Well,
Speaker 1: it's probably been six years. I think it was like,
Speaker 1: I think it's like three and three or something like that.
Speaker 2: I'm not a numbers guy, but that doesn't seem to
Speaker 2: add up no matter.
Speaker 1: So, for the first time in the history of the
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour podcast, we had done the podcast, as they say,
Speaker 1: the hay was in the barn. We had done the
Speaker 1: work and all that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we signed off. Thanks, we'll see it for the
Speaker 4: mail bag. Saturday was in the can as they say.
Speaker 1: Later skater. And then I sent ua message with three
Speaker 1: letters in it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought you were a Mets fan. Suddenly it
Speaker 4: said OMG.
Speaker 1: Because I went to save the file for the podcast,
Speaker 1: because we record the podcast, yes, and then you add
Speaker 1: bells and whistles to a Danny and magic touch on
Speaker 1: it put some extra secret sauce in there and all that.
Speaker 1: So so I went to save the file and there
Speaker 1: was no file to save. You got crickets. That is
Speaker 1: all we got files. I thought, well, I know I'm tired,
Speaker 1: but I'm we just did an entire episode of the podcast,
Speaker 1: like there must be a file, Like it's got to
Speaker 1: be a glitch. And so I said, uh, I said omg.
Speaker 1: And then and then I sent you some other other
Speaker 1: messages like I I Yeah.
Speaker 4: So we sat there and talked to each other for
Speaker 4: forty minutes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was a really good show.
Speaker 4: Oh dude, memorable. I think it was probably in our
Speaker 4: top ten of all time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we'll likely win as some kind of podcasting award.
Speaker 1: Will likely win as some kind of podcast.
Speaker 3: I'm God because he's the only one who heard it.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, well, they do say that radio is a
Speaker 1: disposable form of entertainment, but podcasting is not supposed to
Speaker 1: be that, right because everything's recorded and saved and replayed
Speaker 1: and all that. Holy crap on a cracker. All right, Well, well,
Speaker 1: I guess we know what we're gonna be talking about today,
Speaker 1: Danny on this podcast.
Speaker 3: Let me guess what the national day is.
Speaker 1: You want to give it, you want to give it
Speaker 1: a shot, Danny, Yeah, Oh my goodness, holy crap.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And for anyone that doesn't think this is live on
Speaker 4: the day I release it to the masses, it is
Speaker 4: four am right now on this Saturday morning.
Speaker 1: Yes, uh wait, what are we doing anyway on this podcast, Dady,
Speaker 1: We've got Dean Martin little clickbait. Back that bus up.
Speaker 1: See on this podcast, I'll say it properly, back back
Speaker 1: bass bus up? All right? This is shame. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: we'll have the frames all the week, but we begin
Speaker 1: with this. So last night, one of the reasons that
Speaker 1: I'm I'm still trying, Danny, my darnedest, to try to
Speaker 1: warm up, Try to warm up. I feel like I
Speaker 1: spent the night in Siberia last night. It was that day,
Speaker 1: that day, different than all other days. It was a
Speaker 1: little Dean Martin action. Baby, it's cold outside. I was
Speaker 1: Santa Claus. I played Santa Claus last night and spent
Speaker 1: my time, my time once a year, four hours strapped
Speaker 1: to the back. I dressed up as Santa Claus, and
Speaker 1: I sat on the back of a fire truck and
Speaker 1: they drove me around and I waved at people back
Speaker 1: and forth, up and down the street, all kinds of streets,
Speaker 1: rich people, poor people, every kind of person. And it
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun. But I left Nanny. I
Speaker 1: left as Santa Claus, and I came back as frosty
Speaker 1: as the snowman. I mean you talk about blue balls,
Speaker 1: My balls were ice. I mean it was man, was it?
Speaker 1: It was California cold. I love her balls. It was
Speaker 1: California cold. Now. I took all the appropriate steps, all
Speaker 1: the appropriate steps INNY. I had several layers of clothing on.
Speaker 1: I had some some hand warmer things I had. But
Speaker 1: the handwarmers keep the palm of your hand warm. They
Speaker 1: don't keep your fingers.
Speaker 3: How were they in your butt? Crack?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 1: That was my butt felt great, But no, no, I had.
Speaker 1: I had them strategically placed on my my shirt, so
Speaker 1: I had some. I guess those are body warmer as
Speaker 1: they call them. But I had my one of my back.
Speaker 1: The one on the back really worked well. One on
Speaker 1: the chest didn't work that well. And but I had
Speaker 1: these little Santa gloves, these white Santa gloves, and they
Speaker 1: didn't do any of the socks I wore, i'd wol socks.
Speaker 1: My brother who's lived in New York for years, he
Speaker 1: said the most important thing was cool wol socks. He said,
Speaker 1: that's the forget everything else, wol socks. That's what you
Speaker 1: need to keep you warm.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I agree, because your feet really if your feet are cold,
Speaker 4: you can get sick pretty easily.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So it was, uh, it was The wolf socks
Speaker 1: were good. The only thing that really froze was my fingers.
Speaker 1: That was really bad. Those who needs fingers My right
Speaker 1: hand was getting a workout. But it was. It was nice,
Speaker 1: it was fun, wonderful. We had we all had a
Speaker 1: good time. Well, I don't know if everyone had a
Speaker 1: good time. I had a good time seeing the kids smiling.
Speaker 1: I didn't even see that many kids smiling because full
Speaker 1: disclosure on the and I'm gonna send out some photos
Speaker 1: later today. I think later today, who know, I don't
Speaker 1: even know. I remember.
Speaker 3: If not, you're going to be asleep, let's be honest,
Speaker 3: sleeping most of the day.
Speaker 1: But but I'll be sending out some photos at some
Speaker 1: point this weekend of the Santa experience. And I had
Speaker 1: I believe the term is stage lighting, where the light
Speaker 1: was on me. So I was sitting on the back
Speaker 1: of a fire truck waving at people, and I had
Speaker 1: four lights. I had two behind me, two in front
Speaker 1: of me.
Speaker 3: Santa the cellout, suddenly you're on TikTok.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So uh so it was great for
Speaker 1: people who were taking photos of Santa. They had a
Speaker 1: nice clear shot. But Santa, you.
Speaker 3: Sound like the Ricky Henderson of Santa's right now, by
Speaker 3: the way. I know, I know.
Speaker 1: It's like being on stage in front of one hundred
Speaker 1: thousand people and you don't know they're out there because
Speaker 1: you can't see them because of the lighting. Whether there
Speaker 1: weren't one hundred thousand people, there were a few people.
Speaker 1: And I would like to point out I say this
Speaker 1: every year. The city I've been asked not to name
Speaker 1: the city that I do this in for reasons I
Speaker 1: can't get into here. But the city that I do
Speaker 1: this in, there are some really really rich people that
Speaker 1: live in this city, like in the hills, and I
Speaker 1: end up waving at them driving up these one road
Speaker 1: winding roads around the mountaintops.
Speaker 3: To go U.
Speaker 1: Crenshaw to these mansions. Yeah, exactly. You know, it's comptent,
Speaker 1: and so making that trip up. And as you the
Speaker 1: further you get up, the more money the houses are,
Speaker 1: the fewer people that come out. Like in the city,
Speaker 1: people come out. A lot of people now will just
Speaker 1: open their front door and wave a lot of that
Speaker 1: because it's cold and they don't want to go outside.
Speaker 1: And then the further we get up, the more the
Speaker 1: property values, the fewer the amount of people that come out.
Speaker 3: Why is that they think they're too good for you?
Speaker 1: I tend to think there's a causation correlation situation. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, maybe not, but either way, there
Speaker 1: were I.
Speaker 3: Don't need juice in. I bought all my own gifts
Speaker 3: through my accountant.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm my own Santa Man exactly. I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't need you and your little sant outfit.
Speaker 3: I'm a self made Santa.
Speaker 1: So onlike years past, I did not see as many
Speaker 1: people there were. I'm told there were many people. I'd
Speaker 1: kind of blocked my I use my hand to block
Speaker 1: the light so I could see the people. Had to
Speaker 1: use my hand to block the light to see the people.
Speaker 1: So there was a good, a good turnout. I didn't
Speaker 1: see that many of them. And then I got back
Speaker 1: to the to the police station where I changed out
Speaker 1: of my Santa suit. But before I did that, though,
Speaker 1: my niece and my nephew came over. They lived not
Speaker 1: far away from that town. And my my sweet niece,
Speaker 1: beautiful young girl, and she she says, yeah, Uncle Benny,
Speaker 1: were you Santa Claus on that fire truck? I said, no,
Speaker 1: I would never do that. I would never hit on
Speaker 1: a fire truck. Are you kidding me? Come on? And uh,
Speaker 1: it was. It was quite cute and amusing. And my
Speaker 1: my nephew didn't really care about any of it. He
Speaker 1: was just kind of had a goofy face and then
Speaker 1: that whole thing. So, but it was a lot of
Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 1: It was a good time and the only issue was
Speaker 1: getting off the fire truck. Then, and you probably heard
Speaker 1: about this maybe in another life, but I was very
Speaker 1: concerned about calling. I'm a rather large human being and
Speaker 1: I'm not as nimble as I used to be back
Speaker 1: when I was Benny the ballerina in my younger It
Speaker 1: would have been no problem the gymnastic part of my life,
Speaker 1: but that's in the past. So I sat at the
Speaker 1: edge of the side. Actually it was the back of
Speaker 1: the fire truck. I sat at the end of it,
Speaker 1: and I was contemplating, what do I do here? What's
Speaker 1: the move? What is the move to get off the
Speaker 1: fire truck? And I waited. I was going to do
Speaker 1: it on my own, and I thought, well, in my head,
Speaker 1: I fell, I slipped and then I went broke my
Speaker 1: left arm in three places. And it became clickbait, and
Speaker 1: then it was a big problem. I am such a
Speaker 1: radio loser.
Speaker 4: Aggregating Is that the big word you guys used on
Speaker 4: your website.
Speaker 1: Yes, Aggregation is the word. You're taking a story and
Speaker 1: you're getting you're getting listeners or viewers based on that.
Speaker 4: And you're adding to it. If you had broken bones,
Speaker 4: then that's not clickbait. I would have wanted to see that.
Speaker 4: But some clickbait I've been dealing with over the past
Speaker 4: couple of days. Now you're going to love this because
Speaker 4: you are intertwined into the story. Flashback to last weekend's podcast.
Speaker 4: All right, I did something that no Fifth Hour podcast
Speaker 4: listeners should ever do.
Speaker 1: What's that?
Speaker 3: I took advice from Ben Maller.
Speaker 1: How dare you? How dare you? Now?
Speaker 4: Actually it started out good because we were talking Mike
Speaker 4: Tyson and his PR people, one in New York, one
Speaker 4: in Vegas there with him, and your advice was, don't
Speaker 4: go with their question sheet. Just stay true to what
Speaker 4: Covino and Rich want to ask them and screw the
Speaker 4: PR people.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think my advice was you tell them you're going
Speaker 1: to do exactly what they want you to do, and
Speaker 1: then do whatever you want.
Speaker 4: Yes, Monday afternoon, I go in for the pre show
Speaker 4: meeting and I show them the questions, and I said,
Speaker 4: you do not read these questions. You ask him your
Speaker 4: own questions. He's a big boy, you know, he's done
Speaker 4: a lot of interviews. He can deflect it termed a
Speaker 4: bob and weave.
Speaker 1: I think that's the term. He can bob and weave.
Speaker 4: Yeah, interview goes great, it's a zoom interview. Even better.
Speaker 4: The guys can see his response and his interactions.
Speaker 1: People have some mic bites together, some edibles, no sweet cheeks,
Speaker 1: Mike sweet Mike sweet cheeks. And then the tagline is
Speaker 1: everybody's eating them. I'm trying to get in on that, Mike.
Speaker 4: Everything's going great. Then they ask him about the fight
Speaker 4: with Jake Paul. Covino says, what was Paul's power like?
Speaker 4: And Mike said, I don't remember. I don't really remember
Speaker 4: much of the fight. He says, I remember the first round,
Speaker 4: coming back after the first round, and then him bowing. Well, Ben,
Speaker 4: what do you think the national outlets have picked up
Speaker 4: on in the past few days.
Speaker 1: Let's see here. I'm gonna go with the last part
Speaker 1: for a thousand.
Speaker 4: The headline from New York Post dot com Mike Tyson
Speaker 4: makes terrifying Jake paulfight revelation. Then the headline from People
Speaker 4: dot com, Mike Tyson says he doesn't remember much of
Speaker 4: Jake Paul fight.
Speaker 3: Don't know what the hell happened.
Speaker 4: Both of these articles, Benny, they're alluding to the fact
Speaker 4: that maybe he has early dementia. It started out where
Speaker 4: the PR people loved the interview, even the fact that
Speaker 4: they asked that question about his butt cheeks. Mike Laught
Speaker 4: had fun with it. After the interview was over, they
Speaker 4: sent an email to me saying it was great. It
Speaker 4: was awesome. He had fun, and I was like, you
Speaker 4: know what, I did the right thing. It all worked out.
Speaker 4: But now and if you google Mike Tyson on your
Speaker 4: device in front of you, yeah, I'm sure you could
Speaker 4: see that this has now spun out of control where
Speaker 4: people are making a big deal about this one clickbait piece.
Speaker 4: And when he said I don't remember all of it
Speaker 4: to me at the time, when I was watching this
Speaker 4: interview live in the studio, it felt like he was
Speaker 4: deflecting a little bit, like what you predicted, Yeah.
Speaker 1: If you don't want to answer it. It's like what
Speaker 1: coaches do after football games. Well, I gotta watch the tape,
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta go walk. I gotta go back
Speaker 1: and watch the tape. And I don't want to talk
Speaker 1: about it until I watched the DAVE because they know,
Speaker 1: like a few days later, nobody cares in this case,
Speaker 1: like I don't remember, you know whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he admitted that he hasn't watched it back.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, here's the Hindu Times. I always get my news.
Speaker 1: From the Hindu Times, Mike Tyson makes shocking admission about
Speaker 1: Jake Paul fight. I don't remember the baddest man on
Speaker 1: the planet, says us. Here's another one from some boxing website.
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson blanked out during Jake Paul fight. Uh, there's
Speaker 1: a click on that thing. There's a British publication. Tyson
Speaker 1: makes worrying admission reveals injuries after losing Jake Paul boxing fight.
Speaker 1: Oh there's a bunch of these stories. Yeah, he was
Speaker 1: just there to get paid. He got his money and
Speaker 1: all that. But the whole aggregation game, and I did
Speaker 1: that for a long time when I ran my website,
Speaker 1: which was a gossip website. It was aggregating the news.
Speaker 1: And it's really the modern aggregation. Not that I didn't
Speaker 1: partake in this, because I certainly did some of it
Speaker 1: back in the day. But it's like playing the children's
Speaker 1: game Telephone, where you internationally pop it's called it's called
Speaker 1: other places, different names, but you just start out, you
Speaker 1: tell one person in the room, you whisper something person
Speaker 1: to person, and then it changes and then at the
Speaker 1: end you compare with the final messages to what the
Speaker 1: original messages and it's never the same and aggregations the
Speaker 1: same thing. It's like you have to add a little
Speaker 1: extra garlic, a little pepper, maybe chienne pepper on top
Speaker 1: of the story, and so it changes it. You want
Speaker 1: to put your own spin on it, and then it
Speaker 1: changes it enough and by the time it gets repackaged
Speaker 1: like the New York you said it, I think you
Speaker 1: told me the New York Post was the one that
Speaker 1: really it kind of blew up from the New York Post. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they have a worldwide audience and they have their spind
Speaker 1: on it, and then people have to make it. They
Speaker 1: can't say it's word for word from the New York Post,
Speaker 1: so then they have to draw their own addition onto
Speaker 1: the story. And then it's it's like legos. You keep
Speaker 1: adding legos, it changes the design or whatever. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying changes.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, benmallard dot com is back because I blame you
Speaker 4: for his pr people now being pissed about this.
Speaker 3: Hey, this publicity.
Speaker 1: Tell you something. Somebody. I believe in the magic Christian
Speaker 1: that you know, everyone's got a price. If somebody wants
Speaker 1: to write me a big enough check, I will absolutely
Speaker 1: bring back Benmallard dot com bring that back. Of course
Speaker 1: it would take a lot of money.
Speaker 4: I feel like you would spend an hour typing out
Speaker 4: a story and then you wouldn't save it on your computer.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. So back that
Speaker 1: bus up, Back that bus up. We flashed back to
Speaker 1: last weekend, the Mallard Ugly Sweater Party, A fine shin
Speaker 1: dig the party.
Speaker 3: I can't wait to find out about this.
Speaker 1: You've never heard about this, Danny. So twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: Ugly Sweater party, and update we're about We're about an
Speaker 1: hour into the party. About an hour into the party,
Speaker 1: things were going well. It was a typical ugly sweater party.
Speaker 1: There was a nice crowd, a mix of my radio people,
Speaker 1: a couple of my wife's co workers, some family were
Speaker 1: there and they were eating their Kirkland brand pizza. And
Speaker 1: I had made hundreds, hundreds of cookies. Not I had
Speaker 1: chocolate chip, a lot of chocolate chip. There were oatmeal
Speaker 1: raisin my wife likes oatmeal raisin. I had a lot
Speaker 1: of those. We had gingerbread cookies, which I added, these
Speaker 1: are soft gingerbread, not to be confused with the traditional gingerbread,
Speaker 1: which are not soft. So I had that I made
Speaker 1: some homemade brownies and I want to thank your family,
Speaker 1: Danny gear Deeli brownies. I used the geara Deli brownie,
Speaker 1: so I made those easy to make. So we had
Speaker 1: all that ready to go and we put all that
Speaker 1: together and it was it was fine, and had all
Speaker 1: the food out, had some cake as well, and people
Speaker 1: were eating. And about an hour hour and a half
Speaker 1: into the party, all of a sudden, somebody's knocking on
Speaker 1: the door, ringing the doorbell, and I wasn't near the
Speaker 1: front door. Somebody opens the door and somebody had backed
Speaker 1: that bus up and Danny, hand to god here. It
Speaker 1: was like a conga line. It reminded me of Deebo
Speaker 1: Samuel coming out to take the field for the forty
Speaker 1: nine ers where he's got the boom box, you know,
Speaker 1: he's doing that thing and all the bump box, the
Speaker 1: bump box. Yeah. So this the door opens and it
Speaker 1: is a stampede of my wife's co workers that had
Speaker 1: gotten a party bus to come to the malard Ugly
Speaker 1: Sweater party. And immediately the crowd double. We went from
Speaker 1: five people to about seventy people give or take.
Speaker 3: Was like cops gone wild.
Speaker 1: Oh it was not. I mean, listen, they don't have
Speaker 1: a good time. The cops know I have a good time.
Speaker 1: So they were going crazy. It's getting loud, and I
Speaker 1: want you to know, Danny, I made it all the
Speaker 1: way through high school, college. I've I'm not a big
Speaker 1: party guys. You know, I'm an introvert. But I have
Speaker 1: been to parties. I have been to parties. I've been
Speaker 1: to some crazy parties, not many, but some. But my
Speaker 1: entire life when I was age appropriate to go to parties,
Speaker 1: not once was I ever at a party where the
Speaker 1: cops got called to shut the party down. The twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four Ugly Sweater Party. Somebody called the cops. Some
Speaker 1: some Karen knarked on us and called the cops, and
Speaker 1: so they showed up at the house. And let me
Speaker 1: tell you something, Danny, if you ever find yourself in
Speaker 1: a city situation in your life where you have the
Speaker 1: police show up and you're at your place because the
Speaker 1: party's too loud, may you be lucky enough to have
Speaker 1: police answer the door.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because they called the cops on the cops exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Because the party. I mean, there were some radio people.
Speaker 1: I invited a bunch of people, you know, some showed up,
Speaker 1: some didn't whatever, but the bulk of the party, the
Speaker 1: whole party bus was my wife's co workers and she
Speaker 1: works at a police station, so it was all cops
Speaker 1: and so it was all I was not near the
Speaker 1: front door. I saw from a distance, I observed and
Speaker 1: like the cop that showed up the check on us
Speaker 1: by the time he opened the door. They all speak
Speaker 1: the same language, Danny, So it's like they had the
Speaker 1: Rosetta stone on how to talk to a cop. And
Speaker 1: so the guy was like smiling and laughing and having
Speaker 1: a good time and all that stuff.
Speaker 4: So they made him a plate of brownies and cookies
Speaker 4: whatever he wants and and so so, yeah, that was
Speaker 4: pretty cool.
Speaker 1: That was That was pretty cool. So I can say
Speaker 1: that the Ugly Sweater party was the cresiest of all
Speaker 1: time because never before we've had a lot of these things.
Speaker 1: Never before has somebody ratted us out and call the
Speaker 1: police and so, and I'm not going to say that
Speaker 1: it was it was Ferg Dog that did it or alf.
Speaker 1: I don't think those guys would have done it, but
Speaker 1: I don't know who did. Somebody did. I have no idea.
Speaker 1: Got a murder, All right, let's get to the word
Speaker 1: of the week. Are you ready for the word a week?
Speaker 3: The replay of the word of.
Speaker 1: The week, well, really more of a phrase of the week.
Speaker 1: But this is from Becky from Nebraska. I don't know
Speaker 1: where in Nebraska, but as I like to say, Danny,
Speaker 1: there's only three cities in Nebraska that she could possibly live,
Speaker 1: and everything else is just farmland. Anyway, Becky rights, she's
Speaker 1: I know, it's like I've heard that before too, blow
Speaker 1: your own trumpet, which is Becky said she heard me
Speaker 1: mention this this week on a monologu, which is true.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't mention blow your own trumpet in
Speaker 1: a reference to I think I I if I remember correctly,
Speaker 1: we're talking about Wan Soo's opening news conference with the Mets,
Speaker 1: and I know that's exciting here and and the Mets
Speaker 1: not only get Juan Soto, they get the baby that
Speaker 1: will be born later in Juan Soto's belly. But but anyway,
Speaker 1: I talked about how it's just unlikable and just like
Speaker 1: the whole vibe I got it was just like I
Speaker 1: hate got the athletes that are that arrogant just rubbed.
Speaker 3: Me the wrong way. Yeah, arrogant and entitled exactly.
Speaker 1: That's just there are people that think that's great and
Speaker 1: good for you. And I know him in the minority,
Speaker 1: but like Blake Snell, Juan Soto, Machado, Carlos correct, guys
Speaker 1: like that just really really bothered me anyway. So I
Speaker 1: said something like Juan Soda, I think the tease on
Speaker 1: the in the monologue was he's part of the New
Speaker 1: York Philharmonic Orchestra, He's the one blowing his own trumpet.
