  Speaker 1: Kabooms.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with me Ben
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Mahler and you know who you are. We are united
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: together on the Secret Menu podcast. The Fifth Hour podcast
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Today is the twenty sixth
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: day of June. Just did four hours of talk radio
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: unless we didn't. No, we did, and we're back at
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: it in the podcast dojo. Today is day one seventy
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: seven of the year. This twenty six day of June.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: There are one hundred and eighty eight days left. We
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: are near the end of the twenty second week of
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the year. On this podcast, we have Bogy Benny, the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: phrase of the week, and some foody fun and we'll
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: begin with this. So it has happened. I'd like to
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: alert all of the affiliates there are none because it's
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: a podcast. It has happened that magical time of the year.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about, Alf the Alien Opiner,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and Fergdog and malardprop Guy and even Big Lou who's
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: on number two my annual pilgrimage to the golf course. Now,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: before anyone gets carried away here and I'm talking about you,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: was I teeing it up at St Andrews in Scotland?
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Did I take the beam me Up Scottie Star Trek
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: device to get over to Sant Andrews in Scotland? Please?
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Did I somehow receive an invitation to Augusta National Not
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: unless they started admitting people whose handicap is measured by
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the emotional damage left behind. How about Pebble Beach, that
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: spectacular public course overlooking the Pacific Ocean in northern California.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Come on, have you completely lost your mind? No, of
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: course not now. At my wife's request, the social planner
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: in the house, and we're already off to a great
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: start when any sentence begins with my wife's request. So
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: we went out on a double date. Now, yeah, double
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: date go out to These are things that married people do.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: And so we went out with my cousin who lives
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: in the area and love her to death. And then
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: her husband, who's a good dude. And so my cousin, Shoshana,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: and the husband Bruno, and so we went on a
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: double date. We stopped by Holy Molly, Yes, Holy Moley,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: which sounds less like a golf course. It doesn't sound
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: like Pebble Beach or Saint Andrews or anything like that. No, no,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: it didn't do any of that. It sounds not like
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: a golf course, more like something Batman used to say
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: in the original Batman TV show with Robin and accidentally
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: driving the Batmobile into a tree. So yeah, it was
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: not TPC, Sawgrass, Bethpage, Black, Pinehurst. Forget about all those courses.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: This is my major championship. Holy Moley, miniature golf with cocktails,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the whole razzle, dazzle, all that, and that is the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: language of love. Now. It's funny because Brie, who was
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: on the mailbag last week and helps produce the show,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: not a fan of miniature golf, not a fan of
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: going out to the putt putt golf course. However, I
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: believe that brig could get behind this particular golf course.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Their slogan is forget nearly everything you've ever known about
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: traditional mini golf, and I don't know about you. That's easy,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: that's easy peasy. I've forgotten nearly everything about regular golf too.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I'm reminded four times a year when the majors come
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: around and we talk about that, and often what ends
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: up happening lately is it's all about the masters, and
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: even the other majors take a backseat to the Masters.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: It's just the way it is. So that's the way
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to do it. Holy Moly is not really a golf course, obviously.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: It's a cocktail bar with a restaurant and they have
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the High Jinks hotel you can stay at, and so
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: it's like a cocktail bar where somebody accidentally spilled eighteen
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: or actually it was twenty seven miniature golf holes across
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: this giant building and they put different there's food items
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and bars and it was in charge for a mission.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Of course, every hole has a theme. That's what you
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: do in miniature golf, right, there's a lot of flashing
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: lights and thingam a jigs and do hickeys and what
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: you muld call it. Every hole, every hole it looks
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: like It was designed by someone who said, what if
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Disney imagineers had less supervision and more alcohol, what would
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: that look like? You get the usual one holes a dinosaur,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: You've got pirates over here, a volcano. There's giant MOUs
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: trying to eat your golf ball. Tiger Wood spent twenty
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: five years mastering places like Augusta. He never, ever, though,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: had to read a putt while a plastic t rex
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: judged him. Tyer never had to do that, not on
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the PGA tour. Now people say golf test physical skills,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: mental toughness. People that play golf love to brag about that.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I find that all adorable. Try connecting with the golf
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: ball with full concentration while your wife and cousin and
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: people who are around you are holding Margarita's and different
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: cocktails in one hand and they are filming your backswing
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: with the other, knowing that one bad swing means you
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: are going to spend eternity as someone's TikTok content, which
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: doesn't bother me. I'm not on TikTok. I have my TikTok. People.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: You got to have a guy. I have my TikTok
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: guy that will send me videos alf does a lot
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: of that, and I've got some other people in my
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: world that will send me random TikTok videos. Cell Phones
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: have become oxygen in the world. We know that nobody
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: breathe without one, and I love seeing the videos. There'll
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: be people fighting at a cruise, waiting to get on
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: a cruise, and then of course there's seventeen different camera
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: angles of everyone holding up their phones, not actually trying
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to stop whatever civil unrest is going on. Every golfer
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: is now exactly one terrible swing away from becoming a
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: YouTube blooper. And believe you me, all right, I gave
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the internet several opportunities. I do not believe I made
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the cut, even though I should have the place. This place,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Holy Moly, has a bar called Caddy Shack, and they
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: even have at the Hygienks Hotel. There's a Speak Easy
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: that you have to access through on a photo booth.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: You go sit in a photo booth, they take your
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: photo and then that allows you to enter they'll speak Easy,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: which is dangerous. Like all this alcohol, golf already convinces
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: people they can accomplish impossible things. I'm not that golf guy.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not I don't hate golf. I just I don't
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: have enough time. I don't have enough money to golf
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: too much. If I had time and money, I would
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: spend more of that golfing. You toss in the cocktails.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Now everyone's thinking when you throw the right mix of
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: alcohol in there, that they're Bryson d Chambeau because they
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: got the perfect setup. The appetizers, you got, the drinks.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: The confidence, of course arrives after the drinks. The scorecard,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: forget about it. Forget about it. Some buddy long ago
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: once said that golf is a leisurely walked across a
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: beautifully manicured park. Well that's real golf. This is not
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: real golf. This is indoor. It's an obstacle course designed
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: by people who lost a bet. Every hole is a
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: trick question, every obstacle, Every obstacle has an attitude. The
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: wind mill, that's the big one. When you're part of
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: this world, this ecosystem, miniature golf, The wind mill is smug.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: The volcano kind of like Lebron James Aaron Rodgers, very passive, aggressive.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: The volcano. The pirate ship. Now, the pirate ship enjoys
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: watching grown adults. You know, people from their twenties all
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the way up till fifties and sixties, where beyond question
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: every life decision that brought them there, and somehow the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: clown's mouth at the putt put golf thing always judging.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: You'd think miniature golf would be more relaxing. It's indoors,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: there's food, there's alcohol, there's not the horse gestapo running around.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: You're not allowed to be out here. You don't have
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the right number of clubs in your bag. Okay, I
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: got the right number of clubs. Well, you're still not
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: allowed out here because you're wearing shorts and we're not
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: allowed to wear shorts. Okay. So anyway, you think this
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: would be better and more relaxing, you're wrong. The pressure
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: is real. You miss a four foot putt and everyone laughs.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: You miss a two foot putt, someone reaches for their phone.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: As we said, you four putt through the clown's mouth.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: You begin pricing homes in another state. You just do,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and still that competitive fire remains in your belly. And
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know why. I don't know why. I golf
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: approximately once every presidential administration. So congratulations, President Trump, this
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: will be the one time I golf. Although I guess
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I'm still eligible to go to an old school golf course.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: And yet somehow I am a to convince myself that
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: this is the year where it all clicks together, This
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: is the year where instead of Bogie Benny, we become
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Birdie Benny. And I've still got it right, whatever it is,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: and apparently it is. Finishing second. I got the silver medal,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: one stroke behind Bruno. Congratulations to Bruno. He is now
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the Scottie Scheffler of novelty golf mixed with alcohol. He'll
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: probably demand apparent appearance fees going forward when we get
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: together for the holidays. However, here's the important part. I
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: did end up tearing down my cousin Shoshana and my wife.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I was able to throne them. There should be some
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: kind of asterisk for that hunk of metal that Bruno
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: won me finishing in second place, unlike Rob Manford the
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: gutlass spineless Commission, who would not do that for the
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: cheating assssholes. It's a podcast, I can say that. Don't
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: have to pause now. Both of them, my wife and
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: my cousin devoted considerable amounts of time and much more
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: attention to the alcohol situation, not necessarily the Caddyshack bar.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: There where people walking around, women walking around, offering shots
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: of alcohol and whatnot, and so the strategy for them
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: appeared to be putt, sip, laugh, make fun of the husband,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: and repeat. Now mine was different. I would miss a putt,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I would complain. I would then have a conniption fit.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: I would then overanalyze what I was doing wrong, and
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: then repeat. Now I will say this, I absolutely dominated
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the windmill, and you can say, well, there's a matter
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: you didn't win. Okay, that wind mill is gonna remember
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: me next time I go back there. That wind mill
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: is gonna say, oh this guy, watch out, that's my
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: green jacket. Okay. Some people love golf. They play it
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: all the time. They conquer amen corner. I conquered rotating plywood.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Hey you got your resume. I got my resume. You
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: say tomato, I say tomato. And that's fine, all right,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: we share the same dream. Now. The thing I love
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: about miniature golf is how real it is. I realized
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I just said that after talking about a windmill made
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: out of plywood. I'm just juxtaposing miniature golf compared to
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: real golf. I've been golfing with friends of mine that
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: are heart o golf people, the kind of people that
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: go to a golf store and spend a fortune on
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the latest technology involving the driver, this special putter that's
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: got magic pixie dust on it and all that. And
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: so I've lived that life a little bit, granted, very rarely.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Every once in a while, someone who's got a lot
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: of money, a lot of free time, and access to
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: golf courses, who may or may not admit to being
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: a fan of the Overnight Show will email me and say, hey, Ben,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I really like the show, and you know this kind
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: of thing, and I'd like to go golfing with you. Now,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: golf is during the day. Miniature golf can be played
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: at night or anywhere. You don't really play golf at night.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: It's a daytime activity. The reason, though, is you juxtapose
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: miniature golf putt putt golf, as I like to call it,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: and real golf is nobody at the pitch and putt
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: is discussing ball speeder. In this case, Holy moly, they
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: don't really care about launch angle. I've yet to hear
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: anyone at a miniature golf course about analytics. I have
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: not seen that and when I see that, I'll stop going. No,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: one says, well, if you examine my expected putting percentage. No,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: you hit the ball into a fake volcano. You laugh
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: a little bit, you have another drink or some more food.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: You move on, which is quite frankly healthier than regular golf.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: It just as regular golf convinces people they're one lesson
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: away with a PGA pro from going on the PGA tour,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: many at your golf reminds every man, woman and child
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: that your one bad bounce away from losing to an
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: eight year old child wearing crocs eating Dino nuggets. It's
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: all about perspective, and that's what Holy Moldy provides. And
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I hope this place makes it. I've never heard of
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: this place before my wife found out about it, and
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I hope they stay in business for a long time.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: It's a really good business model. It's kind of like
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the miniature golf version of going out to the driving
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: range with all the booze and the restaurant and the
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: whole thing. It's the same concept. It's just a miniature
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: golf thing. And don't forget about the brisket fries. I
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: do if you ever go to holy moly. The brisket
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: fries and those little chicken crunchy things also outstanding. So
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: just to put the ball on this, yes, I lost
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: by one frickin' shot. The record book will forever show
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: that myand the husband of my cousin, Bruno, is a champion. History,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: it has been said, is written by the winners. However,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: podcasting is written by the losers, or in this case,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: spoken by the losers. Deep inside, though, even though history
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: is written by the winners, deep inside, I know something
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: they do. When the pressure mounted, when the lights were
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: the brightest, when destiny called, I stared that windmill directly
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: in the face. I said, ixnay on the windmill A
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: and the windmill blinked first. So I consider myself a
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: win a winter chicken dinner. Meanwhile, time now for the
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: phrase of the week. That's right, the phrase of the
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: week in honor on this Friday, in honor of my
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: annual golf adventure, which I just spent way too long
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: talking about. This week's phrase is holy mollie. Yeah, holy moly.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Now it's spelled a little different the golf thing than
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: the real holy moly. Holy moly, a classic phrase in
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: English and it goes way way back, way way back,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: and it is a substitute. The term holy Moly is
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: a substitute for back in the old days. In the
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: old they would say Holy Moses or Holy God or
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Holy Christ. And it's a way to express shock and
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: surprise and amazement or disbelief without the sacred name being sullied.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: And so the origins on this it was from the
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: eighteen hundred, so it's been a minute. The exact origin
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: is not known, like who's the first person to say this? However,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: those pesky little linguists, they agree that it began being
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: used sometime in the eighteen nineties. It is a euphanism
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: created again to soften the expression Holy Christ or Holy
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: God or something like that. The molly part of this
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: right does not have any kind of independent meaning in
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: the phrase. It is just a playful rhyme that sounds good. Now.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: The thing that really led this expression to become mainstream,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: believe it or not, was not the Internet, because there
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: was no Internet in the eighteen nineties. Yet, big dummy,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the expression exploded, we are told because of Captain Marvel.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Through Captain Marvel Shazam, the comics there beginning in the
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: nineteen forties, so about fifty years after the phrase started
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: being used. This is where Billy Batson frequently exclaimed holy
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: moly became even more ingrained in pop culture. And then
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: in the nineteen sixties, Batman and Robin Well, mainly Robin
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: on Batman had these over the top holy exclamations and
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: they became legendar holy guaca mole. Batman was all the
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: spin off of holy moly. Now, it is interesting to note,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: if you look back at Greek mythology, the word moley
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: is a magical herb that goes way way, way, way,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: way way back. Despite the the coincidence, those that study
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: language overwhelmingly agree, not that anyone knows anything, that this
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: mythical herb had nothing to do with the expression holy moly,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: nothing at all. And that's it. Now there's a bunch
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: of spin offs of holy moley. There's holy Moses, holy smoke,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: holy cow. This broadcaster long gone now has been dead
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: for almost thirty years, and he was a Cubs broadcaster
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: and a Cardinals broadcaster named Harry Carey, and his catchphrase
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: was holy Cow. He wrote several books, one of them
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: called Holy Cow. You could go Holy mackerel. There was
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: a broadcaster and other dead broadcasters. I just mentioned dead broadcasters.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Bill King, the longtime voice of the Athletics, the old
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Oakland Athletics before Rob Manford allowed the team to leave
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: the Oakland Athletics. Also you've got the Raiders, and his
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: famous call was holy Toledo, but you can go home,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Holy Macaroni, Holy mackerell. It's really wonderful and it has
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: lasted the test of time. You do the math on this,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: So eighteen nineties, all of the nineteen hundreds were now
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: into twenty twenty six, So if my math is correct,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: we are approaching almost one hundred and fifty years. We're
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: not that far away from one hundred and fifty years
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: of this phrase, this expression, which is still still a
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: thing easy to say. It's rhythmic, which is great. I
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: love rhythmic things. It's my tribute to Brian Wheeler, another
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: unfortunately broadcaster that's passed away that I knew in real life.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Brian Wheeler, the voice of the Trailblazer. Is one of
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the reasons I say Boom Shaka Laca, not because of
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: the video game. That is a catchphrase that Brian Wheeler
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: had when he was doing the play by play for
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: the Trailblazer, so as a tribute to Brian, who was
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: a friend of mine in real life, used to go
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: on this radio show, I give you the boom, Shaka
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Laca and all that. But there you go, Holy mollly
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: that is the phrase all the week and enduring phrase
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: that has stood the test of time. And just the
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: MOLDI part just a fun rhyme. What's a fun rhyme?
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: And much like my golf game, it doesn't have to
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: make perfect sense to be entertaining. That's just the reality
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: of the situation. Time Now for some food e fun?
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: How right for food e fun? It's foody fun. Yeah,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: that's right. Well that's the bit. It's foody fun. We

• 23:53
  Speaker 1: believe there's any more than that. Those are the items
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: on the two fifty menu at Sonic. I know you'll
• 24:00

• 28:22
  Speaker 1: So enjoy that. I wonder how much you get paid.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: I would love to do a food situation where we
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: put my name on some stuff. Now we have that
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: in Kansas City, and we have that in Denver. So
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: those are some places that I'm always open. There was
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: some chatter about a Mallar Hogy, a Mallard Hogy, and
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: I thought it would be kind of funny, the Mallard
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: fluffer nutter. Wouldn't that be great? Now there is a
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: major mogul and I will not say the name, who
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: is in the sandwich business. And I met this gentleman
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: several years ago, and he is a member of the
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Malord Militia. I met him at the Super Bowl radio row.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: He came up. He came up to me and said hello.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: We had actually I think I might have been introduced
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: to him, but whatever the case, we had a nice
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: conversation and he was like a legitimate fan of the show.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: He used to listen years ago, and he runs a
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: big sandwich chain. And there were some conversations about a
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Mallorar sandwich there were, and I was asked even like
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: what kind of sandwich would you want, And like, most
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: of the things I want are already take, like a
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: nice barbecue sandwich, a nice barbecue sandwich. However, the fluffer
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: nutter has not been taken, and that seems like a
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: sandwich that we could get and go more mainstream. The
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Mallard fluffer nutter sounds kind of dirty sound, and I would.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: I think it would be great. Who says no? Why not?
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: All right, on that note, have a great rest of
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: your Friday, whatever you're up to. We will have new
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: podcasts obviously all weekend. That's what we do on these parts,

• 30:06
  Speaker 1: enough you want to get your message here. We got
• 30:08
