Speaker 1: Kutbooms.
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 cutter 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 3: In the air everywhere, The Fifth Hour with Me Ben Maller,
0:34
Speaker 3: Happy Friday. Danny will be back with us at some
0:37
Speaker 3: point over the weekend. But we are together on this
0:40
Speaker 3: ninth day of May, a day to celebrate the ABC's
0:45
Speaker 3: and in some cases the one two threes, because today,
0:49
Speaker 3: you know, we love these dopey holidays. Today is Alphabet
0:53
Speaker 3: Magnet Day, and yeah, I don't know why we need
0:57
Speaker 3: a day for that. I did find a fun fact
1:00
Speaker 3: on this though, as we begin the Fifth Hour podcast,
1:03
Speaker 3: which means you are a super p one. It is
1:07
Speaker 3: documented if you're listening to this podcast, which you are
1:11
Speaker 3: right now, you are a higher level fan of the show. Right,
1:15
Speaker 3: there's the regular radio listener. There's different layers to the cake.
1:20
Speaker 3: Right when you have the show you have people that
1:23
Speaker 3: listen because they listen to the radio at that time,
1:26
Speaker 3: and there are people that listen to Fox Sports Radio.
1:29
Speaker 3: I happen to be on Fox Sports Radio at night,
1:31
Speaker 3: so they'll listen to that. There are people that will
1:36
Speaker 3: tune in randomly and just scan around the different apps
1:40
Speaker 3: to find something to listen to. They're not big fans,
1:43
Speaker 3: but there's just background noise, which just background noise. And
1:46
Speaker 3: then there's the p one because the podcast, as you know,
1:50
Speaker 3: you have to actually put some effort in to get
1:53
Speaker 3: the podcasts. You have to subscribe to the podcast, you
1:56
Speaker 3: have to download the apps and all that crap. So
2:00
Speaker 3: as I jabber away, there's some effort in that. So
2:02
Speaker 3: you're a higher level listener just by downloading the podcast
2:06
Speaker 3: and listening every weekend. As we keep you posted on
2:09
Speaker 3: the nonsense. But as I was dabbling in alphabet magnet day,
2:14
Speaker 3: I came across a fun fact. And I know Alf
2:16
Speaker 3: loves fun facts and Ferg Dog and mister nice Guy
2:20
Speaker 3: and all these other knuckleheads, So the fun fact here
2:23
Speaker 3: for you. I was unaware of this. The original magnet.
2:28
Speaker 3: The origins of magnets go all the way back for
2:32
Speaker 3: thousands of years they estimate over twenty five one hundred
2:36
Speaker 3: years ago. The earliest records of magnet state back to
2:41
Speaker 3: ancient China and India. So we're going back a minute now.
2:47
Speaker 3: The early refrigerator magnet that started in the mid twentieth century.
2:53
Speaker 3: They were the add on a little extra spice, if
2:56
Speaker 3: you will, But it wasn't until nineteen seventy two when
3:01
Speaker 3: Fisher Price debuted the first alphabet refrigerator magnet was released
3:07
Speaker 3: by Fisher Price and immediately became a sensation of disco
3:12
Speaker 3: Nation in the nineteen seventies and has continued on and on,
3:17
Speaker 3: and even though technologies obviously a lot better now than
3:20
Speaker 3: it was in the nineteen seventies, it continues and modern
3:26
Speaker 3: society has allowed the alphabet magnet to continue. And even
3:32
Speaker 3: though Fisher Price released the hard plastic magnet letters and
3:37
Speaker 3: all that, if you look, they don't really there's no origin.
3:42
Speaker 3: It's unknown the first letters who created them, Like, they
3:49
Speaker 3: were created sometime in the nineteen sixties by the space industry,
3:54
Speaker 3: and they used them to track. There were tracking purposes,
3:59
Speaker 3: and then they were commercialized, as I said, in the
4:01
Speaker 3: nineteen seventies, early nineteen seventies. So I think that's enough
4:04
Speaker 3: on Alphabet Magnets. On this pod, the Big Friday Podcast,
4:09
Speaker 3: to kick off the weekend of for Volity after a
4:13
Speaker 3: long overnight show with just one NBA Playoff game last night,
4:17
Speaker 3: the Golden State without Steph Curry Warriors taking on the
4:21
Speaker 3: Minnesota Timberwolves. So on this pod, we've got the Malard Mystery,
4:26
Speaker 3: the Power Flex, some foodie fun, and the word of
4:30
Speaker 3: the week. And we begin with a bit of a
4:34
Speaker 3: malard mystery, a bit a wee bit of a malard mystery.
4:38
Speaker 3: So we're gonna go back a couple of days. If
4:39
Speaker 3: you listen to the overnight show live or hear the podcast,
4:44
Speaker 3: you heard something on the Thursday show that was a
4:51
Speaker 3: bit on the spectrum, the wack a Doodle caller Alert
4:55
Speaker 3: of the week, wacka Doodle, wack of doodle, whack a doodle. Now,
4:58
Speaker 3: we have some interesting characters that call the show. We
5:01
Speaker 3: have some people that are really good callers. We have
5:03
Speaker 3: some people that jump into the fray that don't know
5:05
Speaker 3: what they're doing. We have people that call up that
5:08
Speaker 3: think they're engineering some kind of massive movement migration of humanity.
5:14
Speaker 3: I mean, there's all kinds of characters that call the show.
5:19
Speaker 3: So the wacka duoler caller alert. Let's go back to Thursday.
5:22
Speaker 3: On the hot top time Machine, Ron from Rochester calls.
5:26
Speaker 3: I remember Ron from Rochester. Now I immediately started a
5:29
Speaker 3: call by wondering is he from Rochester, Minnesota or is
5:32
Speaker 3: he from the Flower city of Rochester, New York. Well,
5:35
Speaker 3: it turns out Ron is from he claimed, And you
5:37
Speaker 3: can say anything you want. We're not going back and
5:40
Speaker 3: through the secrets of the interweb and looking you up.
5:44
Speaker 3: So Ron said he's from Rochester, New York, and he
5:47
Speaker 3: had not talked to me before. I don't recall him
5:50
Speaker 3: saying he'd called before. I don't remember talking to him,
5:52
Speaker 3: and I usually remember these things. So it was your
5:55
Speaker 3: standard sports talk radio call unless it was Unless it wasn't.
5:59
Speaker 3: You can go back and hear the podcas cast and
6:00
Speaker 3: ripped that band aid off again. So he was telling
6:03
Speaker 3: me this whole rap. He liked the show, he said,
6:05
Speaker 3: he quoted me about one of the lines that I use.
6:08
Speaker 1: And then he said he worked in Manhattan for years.
6:11
Speaker 3: He was in advertising with McDonald's, and he gave some
6:15
Speaker 3: details on that. I'm interested in what people are doing
6:19
Speaker 3: as long as they're not lying I like to hear
6:21
Speaker 3: people's stories. I think it's interesting what you did in
6:24
Speaker 3: your life or what you're doing in your life.
6:26
Speaker 1: And I like to hear those stories. Got to make
6:29
Speaker 1: them somewhat entertaining.
6:30
Speaker 3: Now this guy did, Ron made him pretty good, made
6:33
Speaker 3: the story pretty good. So he claimed he worked a
6:35
Speaker 3: McDonald's Manhattan advertising and he had a bunch of women
6:39
Speaker 3: that worked with him. I don't know why he included that,
6:41
Speaker 3: but anyway, he claims that in nineteen eighty nine.
6:48
Speaker 1: He was responsible for McDonald's.
6:51
Speaker 3: I guess the way I interpreted is I understand the
6:54
Speaker 3: story looking back, I haven't heard again, But the way
6:56
Speaker 3: I understood it is like he's like, hey, I'm responsible
6:58
Speaker 3: for assume putting the advertising on WFN, which was the
7:04
Speaker 3: first all sports twenty four hour day sports station, which
7:07
Speaker 3: was not even all sports twenty four hours a day
7:08
Speaker 3: because they had don Imus the Iman in the morning
7:12
Speaker 3: and a bunch of jingles throughout the day and sports talk.
7:16
Speaker 3: And so this guy Ron's like, hey, yeah, yeah, I
7:18
Speaker 3: saved sports radio.
7:19
Speaker 1: I saved WFN eighty nine.
7:22
Speaker 3: And he then takes credit for Chris Russo and Mike Francessa,
7:26
Speaker 3: Mike and the Mad Dog, one of the most famous
7:29
Speaker 3: sports radio shows out there, local sports radio shows.
7:32
Speaker 1: So that aside, it was odd, it was odd.
7:38
Speaker 3: The thing that really moved the needle for me was
7:41
Speaker 3: the communication issues. There was a lot of pausing, awkward
7:46
Speaker 3: pausing that took place. You're not supposed to get that.
7:50
Speaker 3: You're not supposed to get the awkward pausing you do
7:52
Speaker 3: that in television. They have this thing called the IFB,
7:55
Speaker 3: which is a earpiece that's connected.
7:58
Speaker 1: There's the delay.
8:00
Speaker 3: If you're doing a satellite hookup and it messes with
8:04
Speaker 3: whatever technology, there's a couple of seconds and it's off
8:08
Speaker 3: a little bit, and it's.
8:09
Speaker 1: Just very odd. You have to get used to it.
8:12
Speaker 1: So fine, but that's not radio.
8:15
Speaker 3: And so every time I was saying something there was
8:18
Speaker 3: this pecular pecurear.
8:20
Speaker 1: I can't even say the word peculiar, easy for me
8:23
Speaker 1: to say.
8:24
Speaker 3: Uh, there was this odd there was this odd pause
8:31
Speaker 3: and anyway, it just sounded sounded bzarre.
8:34
Speaker 1: And then as the call continued, I was like, wait
8:37
Speaker 1: a minute, am I getting punked here? Is Is this
8:40
Speaker 1: a real human being? I said, Well, sounds kind of real,
8:43
Speaker 1: but I don't know. We live in weird times.
8:46
Speaker 3: I'm not sure and then I was like, well, maybe
8:49
Speaker 3: it's some kind of AI voice generated thing where someone's
8:52
Speaker 3: calling up and they're like busting my balls and they're
8:55
Speaker 3: typing words in and they're they're using this fake AI voice,
8:59
Speaker 3: and so the time is off a little bit because
9:01
Speaker 3: they have to type everything in and they takes a
9:03
Speaker 3: little time.
9:04
Speaker 1: They're footing around with it, and then you know, that's
9:07
Speaker 1: how it went. So I was like, all right, well,
9:10
Speaker 1: maybe maybe that's the case. Maybe that's the case.
9:14
Speaker 3: And then the other options were, this is a lizard
9:17
Speaker 3: person that we're dealing with, a lizard person here, some
9:20
Speaker 3: kind of sub reptilian person that that is called in
9:26
Speaker 3: from some other planet and you know, capable of doing
9:32
Speaker 3: amazingly crazy things because they're reptilian reptoids and that's possible.
9:39
Speaker 3: Or maybe they were the Grays, the stereotypically, you know,
9:42
Speaker 3: small gray skinned aliens with large eyes, and back in
9:47
Speaker 3: the day they were abducting cows and gutting them and
9:51
Speaker 3: taking humans, and it's a distinct alien race that's been around,
9:56
Speaker 3: or I mean, there's a bunch there's a bunch of
9:58
Speaker 3: different supposed legends and all that, but it was one
10:02
Speaker 3: of those bizarre, odd duc situations.
10:06
Speaker 1: No, it's not the craziest call I've ever taken. It
10:08
Speaker 1: was just interesting.
10:09
Speaker 3: It broke up the rut the nine to five, which
10:13
Speaker 3: is nine pm to five am or six am, depending
10:16
Speaker 3: on what time zone you're in.
10:17
Speaker 1: And all that.
10:18
Speaker 3: So it's interesting now the call that I still reference
10:22
Speaker 3: as the gold standard.
10:24
Speaker 1: For what are we doing here? What is going on?
10:28
Speaker 1: I don't get it. That would go back.
10:32
Speaker 3: God, I think it's been over ten years now. Right
10:36
Speaker 3: around ten years the Los Angeles Clippers were in a scandal.
10:42
Speaker 3: This isn't the Lob City Days, kind of to the
10:44
Speaker 3: end of the Lob City Days.
10:47
Speaker 1: So the Clippers are involved in the scandal.
10:49
Speaker 3: TMZ has some audio of the owner of the team,
10:53
Speaker 3: Donald Sterling, who's saying some offensive things things people upset,
11:02
Speaker 3: and so that story is going on.
11:04
Speaker 1: The NBA is trying to figure.
11:06
Speaker 3: Out what to do there is he's been suspended and
11:09
Speaker 3: they're trying to figure out what's going on.
11:11
Speaker 1: But there's this weird area where.
11:13
Speaker 3: You can't really get rid of an owner because they
11:16
Speaker 3: owned the team and they're part of the cartel. And
11:19
Speaker 3: so this was a big story. As you might imagine.
11:22
Speaker 3: At the time, we talked about it pretty much NonStop.
11:24
Speaker 3: It was the number one story going on at that time,
11:29
Speaker 3: so fine, I did some monologues about it. It hit
11:32
Speaker 3: close to home. Didn't want to cross any wires here,
11:35
Speaker 3: but at the time, you know, I was a clipper
11:37
Speaker 3: guy and I still liked the clips, and this became
11:41
Speaker 3: an issue that was a big part of the show.
11:45
Speaker 3: So one night during the week, I was doing a
11:48
Speaker 3: monologue about Donald Surling and what the NBA is going
11:51
Speaker 3: to do, and what kind of rules they have, and
11:53
Speaker 3: what Adam Silver is going to hand how he's going
11:55
Speaker 3: to handle it, and I was going through the whole thing.
11:58
Speaker 3: We go to the phones and there's a caller. Now
12:02
Speaker 3: the caller was not named Donald. The caller claimed to
12:05
Speaker 3: be from Palm Springs, the California Desert, and it seemed
12:12
Speaker 3: like there was something else going on below the surface.
12:14
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what, but during that entire episode, the
12:18
Speaker 3: entire episode.
12:19
Speaker 1: Where I'm Mallor of the Motormouth and I'm doing my thing.
12:24
Speaker 3: The voice of this guy sounded very very familiar, very familiar.
12:34
Speaker 3: And the only call that we took that entire time
12:38
Speaker 3: that defended Donald Sterling was this guy from Palm Desert,
12:42
Speaker 3: and we went back and listened to some audio of
12:47
Speaker 3: Donald Sterling, who had been the Clipper's owner, and it
12:50
Speaker 3: sounded identical, almost like the same person.
12:56
Speaker 1: So we never got this verified.
12:59
Speaker 3: How would you very And only the people that were
13:03
Speaker 3: listening that night know what I'm talking about.
13:07
Speaker 1: Otherwise it's like, yeah, getting Deadley Squad from me.
13:10
Speaker 3: I don't know that call whatever, But we're pretty sure
13:14
Speaker 3: that was the Donald. We think that called up in
13:18
Speaker 3: the middle of the scandal to defend himself because the
13:22
Speaker 3: caller took shots at the La Times, which at that
13:25
Speaker 3: time people were still reading the La Times and they
13:27
Speaker 3: were making a big deal about this, and.
13:29
Speaker 1: So it was it was up.
13:32
Speaker 3: We were on the station was the Clipper station at
13:35
Speaker 3: the time, so the Clipper games were being played on
13:37
Speaker 3: the station, and just like everything was together, and it's
13:40
Speaker 3: like it made sense that Sterling Donald Sterling.
13:45
Speaker 1: There's a theory in an alternative reality, maybe the reality we're.
13:48
Speaker 3: In now, maybe not, that Donald was listening to the
13:53
Speaker 3: show and heard the monologue and wanted to defend Donald Sterling,
13:57
Speaker 3: so he made up some name and said he was
14:00
Speaker 3: in Palm Springs. And that was the only time we
14:03
Speaker 3: ever talked to that caller. That caller went away and
14:07
Speaker 3: that was that. So the that was a mystery the
14:12
Speaker 3: guy ron from Rochester. I don't know whether it was
14:15
Speaker 3: reptilian person or the Grays or just an AI or
14:19
Speaker 3: a real person that was just having a really bad day.
14:23
Speaker 1: I have no idea, but the whole thing.
14:26
Speaker 3: Give that some stink eye, if you will, now turning
14:29
Speaker 3: the page on that as we bloviate here on the
14:33
Speaker 3: Fifth Hour podcast, I want to turn the page. And
14:36
Speaker 3: this is something I don't normally talk about. Somebody sent
14:38
Speaker 3: me this audio and I wanted to share with you.
14:40
Speaker 3: So there was an interview done recently that got a
14:44
Speaker 3: little traction enough where it reached back to me.
14:47
Speaker 1: The interview was with this guy, Harold hal put Off.
14:52
Speaker 3: I believe it is his name, how put Off. And
14:54
Speaker 3: this guy is a physicist and he's really he's eighty
15:01
Speaker 3: eight years old. He'll be eighty nine next month, as
15:06
Speaker 3: a PhD from Stanford University. And his specialty in his
15:11
Speaker 3: life he's older now quantum physics, laser physics, alternative energy technologies.
15:19
Speaker 3: This guy co founded the Stanford Research Institute, one of
15:24
Speaker 3: the more famous institutions of higher learning academia. But they
15:32
Speaker 3: were involved in some really next level stuff. The Stanford
15:37
Speaker 3: Research Institute was where remote viewing began. They had a
15:44
Speaker 3: began there, but they had a remote viewing program in
15:46
Speaker 3: the nineteen seventies which was funded paid for by the CIA. Hello, yeah,
15:53
Speaker 3: so the CIA paid for it and they investigated the
15:57
Speaker 3: phenomena of being able to remote view. They also export
16:03
Speaker 3: and that has been verified that that is a thing,
16:06
Speaker 3: like it's it's wild, and the way it's been described
16:11
Speaker 3: is that anyone can do it, much like basketball or
16:16
Speaker 3: baseball or any of these sports, assuming you're in decent health,
16:20
Speaker 3: you have all your faculties, you can play the sports,
16:22
Speaker 3: just some are better.
16:23
Speaker 1: Than others, which is wild that we have that superpower to.
16:29
Speaker 3: Predict the future or to look back at past defense,
16:34
Speaker 3: which a lot of people for years said that's bullshoy,
16:38
Speaker 3: and then it's like, well, no, there's something to it.
16:40
Speaker 3: There's something to it, which is which is anyway? So
16:44
Speaker 3: why am I talking about? How put off? What am
16:47
Speaker 3: I doing here? I'm just sending this up because he
16:50
Speaker 3: was involved in the UFO research and had some pretty
16:56
Speaker 3: high clearance because of his work with the CIA. So
17:00
Speaker 3: somebody some of this clip, I guess Joe Rogan he's
17:02
Speaker 3: got a little fledgling podcast. I hope you can someday
17:05
Speaker 3: get to the level of the Fifth Hour podcast.
17:07
Speaker 1: Good luck, Joe.
17:08
Speaker 3: So somebody some of this clip one of my radio
17:10
Speaker 3: friends and said you got to hear this.
17:12
Speaker 1: I mean, this is unbelievable.
17:14
Speaker 3: I said, yeah, yeah, whatever, you know what, I'm fine.
17:18
Speaker 3: So it was Joining Rogan's podcast. It aired like eight
17:23
Speaker 3: days ago.
17:24
Speaker 1: I just got it the.
17:25
Speaker 3: Other day, and they had this physicist that I just
17:29
Speaker 3: set up. I gave you a little background, hal Tav
17:33
Speaker 3: and they discussed a sample that was connected with the
17:38
Speaker 3: infamous nineteen forty seven Roswell New Mexico alien spacecraft crash, which.
17:46
Speaker 1: Changed the world.
17:48
Speaker 3: Right, trainers the world not only because you can go
17:52
Speaker 3: out to New Mexico and they have the Alien Hotel,
17:55
Speaker 3: they have the Alien Gift Shop, they have the goblins
17:58
Speaker 3: over here and the critters. We're there from outer space.
18:01
Speaker 1: And all that. Not that, but supposely some technology came
18:05
Speaker 1: out of it.
18:05
Speaker 3: Anyway, get to the point, please, So this goes all
18:08
Speaker 3: the way back to nineteen forty seven, nineteen forty seven.
18:13
Speaker 3: Now to put in perspective how crazy this is. Nineteen
18:16
Speaker 3: forty seven, how put off was eleven years old.
18:21
Speaker 1: Eleven years old.
18:22
Speaker 3: I believe a ten or eleven, depending on what time
18:25
Speaker 3: what part of the calendar of the Roswell thing crashed.
18:28
Speaker 1: And so he told this story with Rogan.
18:31
Speaker 3: He said that there was a guy from the army
18:35
Speaker 3: who claimed that their grandfather was involved in the collection
18:40
Speaker 3: of the debris from the Roswell spacecraft that crashed.
18:44
Speaker 1: Right there in the middle of nowhere in New Mexico.
18:47
Speaker 3: So this guy's grandfather was out there in the desert
18:51
Speaker 3: and he was collecting different stuff. And so then how says, Yeah,
18:57
Speaker 3: the person sent that material to late night radio talk
19:04
Speaker 3: show host Art Bell, known as the host of Coast
19:09
Speaker 3: to Coast, the host with the most us on the
19:11
Speaker 3: Coast to Coast, the great Art Bell allegend, allegend. And
19:17
Speaker 3: Art Bell then passed that on that little piece of
19:20
Speaker 3: the Roswell spacecraft to someone who's I know from my
19:25
Speaker 3: years back when I used to listen to Coast to
19:27
Speaker 3: Coast was on there a lot, and I guess she's
19:29
Speaker 3: still around. Linda Moulton Howell is still on there, I believe.
19:33
Speaker 3: And so she then took it. She's an investigative journalist,
19:36
Speaker 3: and she took it to get analyzed. But the reason
19:39
Speaker 3: I'm bringing this up is put up claim the sample
19:43
Speaker 3: contained titanium and bismuth. It was examined for the for
19:49
Speaker 3: the composite and different ingredients from the from the origins
19:54
Speaker 3: of it and all that to eat, and they said
19:56
Speaker 3: that it didn't conclusively prove extraterrestrial origins. However, however, they
20:07
Speaker 3: claimed that the construction method. The construction method was beyond
20:12
Speaker 3: current human technology at the time and even to this day,
20:17
Speaker 3: you cannot recreate what that was. And it makes sense
20:23
Speaker 3: not to go full alien talk guy, but it would
20:27
Speaker 3: make sense that anything that.
20:30
Speaker 1: We have.
20:32
Speaker 3: In our world will likely be available in other worlds
20:36
Speaker 3: because it's all space stuff and we're just a collective
20:40
Speaker 3: of crap that crashed into this planet.
20:43
Speaker 1: And if the world started all at the same time,
20:49
Speaker 1: and who knows what's.
20:50
Speaker 3: Real and what's not, but if it was like a
20:52
Speaker 3: big bang, which used to be the theory, then everything's
20:54
Speaker 3: all connected and all that stuff. So I just love
20:59
Speaker 3: the powerflow that the way the story was told by
21:04
Speaker 3: this guy, how like that was a real crash, that
21:08
Speaker 3: was aliens that crashed down in Roswell and the first
21:13
Speaker 3: person outside of the government to have.
21:17
Speaker 1: A little clip. A little piece of that was Art.
21:23
Speaker 3: Bell, and I got to meet Art Bell early on
21:26
Speaker 3: in my career at the Premiere then it was the
21:28
Speaker 3: Premiere Radio Networks met him and he was at the
21:34
Speaker 3: Beverly Hills. I think it was the Beverly Hills Hilton.
21:38
Speaker 3: I think I forget one of the Beverly Hills Hotels.
21:41
Speaker 3: We had a big company Christmas party, which was just wonderful.
21:47
Speaker 1: He said, these.
21:48
Speaker 3: Massive gallop parties. We've talked about those from time to time.
21:50
Speaker 3: They stopped doing that years ago because they're expensive. But
21:55
Speaker 3: we had a great time and they flew in all
21:56
Speaker 3: the big hosts at that time, and it was like
21:59
Speaker 3: Jim Rome, doctor Laura, Art Bell, I think Matt Drudge
22:05
Speaker 3: was also doing stuff. And there was that guy that
22:10
Speaker 3: gives financial advice. I'm forgetting his name, very popular talk shows.
22:16
Speaker 3: I believe he was there as well, if I remember correctly. Anyway,
22:18
Speaker 3: they were all there and I met Arts at that time.
22:21
Speaker 3: He had passed away, but he was a recluse. Famously,
22:24
Speaker 3: years ago we did my wife's work. Baker to Vegas
22:29
Speaker 3: was out there helping out the law enforcement people. They
22:32
Speaker 3: do this run from Baker California to Vegas, and there's
22:35
Speaker 3: police from all over the country that go there to
22:39
Speaker 3: be part of that event. So we were helping out
22:41
Speaker 3: one year, and our portion we had to drive through
22:45
Speaker 3: Perump from Vegas. We had to drive out through Parump
22:48
Speaker 3: out into the California Desert, and so I was in
22:52
Speaker 3: the land where Art Bell did his show, The Kingdom
22:55
Speaker 3: of Nie, which is Ni County, Nevada. That's why he
22:59
Speaker 3: called it the Kingdom of Nine, which I thought was
23:03
Speaker 3: the coolest thing. When I found out what that was,
23:05
Speaker 3: I was like.
23:05
Speaker 1: Wow, that's pretty neat. That's brilliant.
23:08
Speaker 3: He's announcing to the world where he's broadcasting from what
23:10
Speaker 3: he called it a kingdom.
23:12
Speaker 1: That's deep. Well it's actually not that deep.
23:14
Speaker 3: But at the time, you know, being a radio nerd,
23:17
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, man, that's pretty cool.
23:18
Speaker 1: Dude, that's pretty neat. But Perump.
23:23
Speaker 3: Not a lot going on in Prompt That's where prostitution
23:26
Speaker 3: is legal. It's not legal in Vegas, it's not legal
23:30
Speaker 3: in Paradise, Nevada. It's legal in Perumpt, Nevada.
23:33
Speaker 1: And man Alive.
23:35
Speaker 3: There's not much else other than whorehouses in Perumpt, Nevada,
23:40
Speaker 3: and I tried to find the art Belt statue because
23:44
Speaker 3: there is supposedly a statue in this little.
23:46
Speaker 1: Park, and we didn't have a lot of time and
23:49
Speaker 1: I could not track it down.
23:51
Speaker 3: So at some point somewhere along the way, I will
23:55
Speaker 3: get back to perump and sit on my rump and
24:00
Speaker 3: take a look at that time for some foody fun.
24:05
Speaker 3: We haven't done this in a while, so I was
24:07
Speaker 3: some foody fun. Now some new items or some discount items.
24:10
Speaker 3: Wendy's has launched the three dollars Son of Baconator deal
24:17
Speaker 3: limited time, So if you're a big Baconator fan, the
24:21
Speaker 3: son of a Baconator can be yours. Cracker Barrel big
24:24
Speaker 3: news for Dick and Dayton and somebody like Dick.

Speaker 1: No, I don't know, maybe Spacoli can let him know.
24:30
Speaker 3: So Cracker Barrel welcome back Campfire meals after a seven
24:39
Speaker 3: year break. So we're going back to what twenty What
24:42
Speaker 3: is that? Twenty eighteen? I believe the math on that
24:46
Speaker 3: is right, twenty eighteen. Yeah, that's about right.
24:48
Speaker 1: I'm not a numbers guy, but that doesn't seem to
24:50
Speaker 1: add up. I haven't been to Cracker Barrel in a while.
24:55
Speaker 1: Hit and miss.
24:56
Speaker 3: My experience with the Cracker Barrel Hitt and Miss Kentucky
24:59
Speaker 3: Fried Chicken better than owned by their gangster name. KFC
25:03
Speaker 3: is offering online only new.
25:06
Speaker 1: Digital exclusive deal.
25:08
Speaker 3: I guess they've They've branded a new app, a new website.
25:14
Speaker 1: I believe I read that anyway.
25:16
Speaker 3: It's a five dollars for five ten d's five tender
25:21
Speaker 3: deal five dollars at KFC, but it's on the app.
25:25
Speaker 3: McDonald's has launched new mccrispy strips.
25:30
Speaker 1: And creamy Chili Dip.
25:33
Speaker 3: I'm good when I want chicken fingers, I'm going to canes,
25:35
Speaker 3: raising canes, caniac combo.
25:39
Speaker 1: I'm okay. This I thought was interesting.
25:42
Speaker 3: Wendy's has started in select markets selling what item in
25:50
Speaker 3: the grocery store?
25:51
Speaker 1: What item are these selling? Winnies? Well, that would.
25:53
Speaker 3: Be beef patties, those square beef patties. Yeah, this just
26:01
Speaker 3: started a few days ago. Those square patties are available
26:05
Speaker 3: to select grocery stores now right now, it's only in
26:08
Speaker 3: two markets right now.
26:11
Speaker 1: It's it.
26:11
Speaker 3: There's two places, the Windy's Columbus, Ohio and Denver. So
26:20
Speaker 3: you Denver, Colorado, if you're in den We had a
26:22
Speaker 3: lot of listeners in Denver we have Fair Mountain, Columbus.
26:24
Speaker 3: So you can pick up the square patties at your
26:26
Speaker 3: local King Supers.
26:30
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is or Kroger. Yeah, it's
26:32
Speaker 1: a four.
26:33
Speaker 3: Pack, one pound package four ounce beef square patties, just like.
26:39
Speaker 1: The Wendy's burger, the same thing.
26:42
Speaker 3: And so if it does well, as I read the story,
26:46
Speaker 3: they have said that it is just a test product
26:50
Speaker 3: and if people actually buy this crap, I'm kidding. If
26:53
Speaker 3: they buy the beef at Wendy's, the test market in
26:58
Speaker 3: Columbus and Denver, then it will come to a.
27:01
Speaker 1: Grocery store near you. So you have to buy a
27:05
Speaker 1: lot of us.
27:05
Speaker 3: I would think if you're in Columbus or Denver, you
27:08
Speaker 3: get a little side hustle and buy a bunch of
27:11
Speaker 3: those things and put them on on the on the
27:13
Speaker 3: eBay and the other side where you can sell stuff.
27:16
Speaker 3: Becau wouldn't people pay for that? It's a unique item.
27:18
Speaker 3: It's not available everywhere. It's a test item. And why
27:21
Speaker 3: did they put it in Peoria. It's a bad job
27:23
Speaker 3: by them. Shame on them. This is the way it's
27:28
Speaker 3: been in America for how long. If you want to
27:32
Speaker 3: test something out, you go We talked about this on
27:35
Speaker 3: the podcast. You go to Peoria, every Man, Woman, and
27:42
Speaker 3: Child knows that is where you head to play it
27:47
Speaker 3: play in Peoria, you know, somehow that's the heartland of
27:51
Speaker 3: mainstream America, and that's how you gauge whether or not
27:56
Speaker 3: something is going to work.
27:57
Speaker 1: I know in politics they do it.
27:59
Speaker 3: That's a big thing in the political world and the
28:04
Speaker 3: test market. That actually goes back all the way to
28:06
Speaker 3: the vaudevillian days, which has.
28:09
Speaker 1: Been been a while.
28:11
Speaker 3: It's been a while, and they said they have all
28:13
Speaker 3: the different demographics there at that time.
28:16
Speaker 1: Now I do.
28:18
Speaker 3: I think I'm right that Wendy's headquarters, at least they
28:21
Speaker 3: were as a few years ago, were in Columbus, Allow
28:23
Speaker 3: So that's likely why they're doing Columbus.
28:25
Speaker 1: But why Denver? Is there a Windy's Denver connection? Who knows?
28:30
Speaker 1: I don't know.
28:31
Speaker 3: One last foody item as we do foody fun Bar
28:35
Speaker 3: Louwie Bar Lowie twenty five dollars burger pass. Now what
28:40
Speaker 3: do you get for twenty five dollars at Bar Louis?
28:42
Speaker 3: You get a free burger and for the entire year,
28:47
Speaker 3: nine to ninety five burgers all year. Is that worth it?
28:51
Speaker 3: So you get the free burger, you get the ten
28:53
Speaker 3: dollars burger. So one burger at Barr Louis. Let's say
28:57
Speaker 3: that's ten dollars. That was probably more, so that kits
29:00
Speaker 3: it down to fifteen. So what is the bet on this?
29:02
Speaker 3: The bet is that you're gonna go in there and
29:04
Speaker 3: buy a lot of ten dollars burgers. They're making a
29:06
Speaker 3: little money on that. But then you're gonna buy some cocktails,
29:09
Speaker 3: You're gonna buy some some fries, some side dishes, and
29:12
Speaker 3: that's where they're gonna make their money. That's gotta be
29:15
Speaker 3: a all right time. Now for the word all the work,
29:20
Speaker 3: the word all the week, and the word of the
29:23
Speaker 3: week this week is eves drop, as in your eves dropping.
29:28
Speaker 1: In as you are doing your whatever you're doing. I
29:31
Speaker 1: don't know what you got going on. I don't know.
29:32
Speaker 3: Maybe you're working, who knows, maybe you're off work like me,
29:35
Speaker 3: I worked overnight last night. Anyway, the term eavesdrop as
29:39
Speaker 3: you're eaves dropping in on the podcast or you eves drop.
29:42
Speaker 1: In on the radio show during the week.
29:45
Speaker 3: So question for the esteem panel, which you were part of,
29:47
Speaker 3: where did it originate? Let's get into it. So a
29:53
Speaker 3: The word evesdrop originates from Old English and Middle English.
29:57
Speaker 3: How about that now, It does obviously derived from the
30:01
Speaker 3: term eve's which is that overhang on the roof of
30:07
Speaker 3: the Old English homes and still to this day. So
30:11
Speaker 3: the eve's part of it is the overhang on the
30:16
Speaker 3: edge of the roof, and the word drop in the
30:19
Speaker 3: context relates to the idea of water dripping from the
30:22
Speaker 3: eves eve's drop so b In the earliest usage, an
30:30
Speaker 3: evesdropper was someone who stood under the eves of a
30:35
Speaker 3: house to secretly spy to listen to conversations inside, as
30:42
Speaker 3: the dripping water from the roof would conceal they were there,
30:48
Speaker 3: they were in stealth mode, So thus the term was
30:53
Speaker 3: created evesdrop and final part of this. By the fifteenth
30:56
Speaker 3: century the term involved obviously over time to to mean
31:01
Speaker 3: someone who just secretly listens to private conversations regardless of location,
31:06
Speaker 3: and around the seventeenth century it became the act of
31:11
Speaker 3: secretly listening listening.
31:13
Speaker 1: But the original term evesdrop is.
31:17
Speaker 3: Literal from people in Old the Old England back in
31:23
Speaker 3: the day that would stand under the eve while the
31:28
Speaker 3: water dropped down and they would spy on neighbors conversations because.
31:34
Speaker 1: You see, there was no social media. Everyone like the
31:37
Speaker 1: listen spy and all that stuff.
31:39
Speaker 3: Well, we'll get out on that. We got new pods
31:41
Speaker 3: all weekend long. And we still have that Mallar meet
31:44
