Speaker 1: It is bright and early as we are recording this
0:41
Speaker 1: live on tape, Live on tape, this edition of The
0:45
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour with Me Ben Mahler, and I want to
0:48
Speaker 1: point out we did have some glitches on the overnight
0:51
Speaker 1: show heading into this Friday morning the Gremlins attack. Bad
0:55
Speaker 1: job by then, but we survived the Gremlin attack and
0:58
Speaker 1: we have prosper in the podcast wing of the remote studio.
1:04
Speaker 1: Danny will join us over the course of the weekend.
1:08
Speaker 1: So the Gremlins knocked us out for about fifteen minutes,
1:12
Speaker 1: which is not that bad. I thought it would be
1:14
Speaker 1: worse than that. It was only about fifteen minutes, and
1:15
Speaker 1: then we came back today, twenty fifth day of April.
1:19
Speaker 1: It is National license Plate Day. Yeah, it's also Arbor Day.
1:26
Speaker 1: And I mean there's a bunch of like the National
1:28
Speaker 1: Arbor Day, it's a Hug a Plumber Day, National Telephone Day.
1:33
Speaker 1: The one that caught my attention is National license Plate Day. Yeah,
1:41
Speaker 1: it's a wonderful day. The first every here's a fun
1:44
Speaker 1: fact for alf the ALIENA Pinter the first ever issued
1:47
Speaker 1: license plate in the US nineteen o one. Prior to that,
1:52
Speaker 1: there was no official marking on any vehicle. Of course,
1:57
Speaker 1: there weren't a lot of cars out there. And with
2:00
Speaker 1: the passage of a law, the New York New York
2:06
Speaker 1: State became the first state to issue a license plate
2:09
Speaker 1: on vehicles, and then it came all the way across
2:13
Speaker 1: the country to the West Coast and all that. Today.
2:16
Speaker 1: You know how many registered vehicles there are in the
2:19
Speaker 1: United States? You want to take a guess, reveal answers
2:23
Speaker 1: or reveal answers. There's more than two hundred and fifty
2:25
Speaker 1: million registered vehicles in the United States. That seems about right.
2:31
Speaker 1: That seems about right. You know, some people have more
2:34
Speaker 1: than one and the whole thing at the time though
2:38
Speaker 1: they say, we're moving to the timeline. It's nineteen oh one.
2:41
Speaker 1: The governor of New York passed a law mandating that
2:45
Speaker 1: vehicles have license plates. In nineteen oh two, there were
2:50
Speaker 1: one thousand, five hundred and sixty six automobile owners registered
2:56
Speaker 1: with the state the vehicles the first year that the
3:00
Speaker 1: law pass so there was fifteen hundred and sixty six
3:03
Speaker 1: vehicles the first year. And then Massachusetts became the first
3:08
Speaker 1: state to distribute state issue license plates, so that was
3:12
Speaker 1: nineteen oh three, and over the years has been just NonStop,
3:17
Speaker 1: as you know. So there you go National License Plate
3:20
Speaker 1: Day on this pod. Right now here we go. What
3:25
Speaker 1: do we have today? We have the Malard mother Load,
3:28
Speaker 1: the Moulson Muscle, the Blue Porcelain Palace, and the Word
3:34
Speaker 1: of the Week. And we'll start out with this. So
3:38
Speaker 1: if you have listened to the Overnight Show, I have
3:40
Speaker 1: done several malar monologues about the big scandal involving Shannon
3:45
Speaker 1: Sharp and the Only Fans Model, and early on we
3:50
Speaker 1: did a malar monologue and indicated things were looking pretty
3:55
Speaker 1: good for Shannon Sharp. We did a second malar monologue
3:58
Speaker 1: things were not looking is good for Shannon Sharp, and
4:03
Speaker 1: I believe that's it. I don't think we did a
4:04
Speaker 1: third one because of the NFL Draft. I don't recall
4:08
Speaker 1: it's early. I've been up for a while, so I
4:11
Speaker 1: don't recall that I bring this up because randomly, I
4:16
Speaker 1: was going through some email. I was cleaning out some
4:19
Speaker 1: email on one of my accounts that I have, and
4:24
Speaker 1: I look and there's this message that I have, and
4:27
Speaker 1: I'm like, let me click on this. This doesn't look familiar.
4:31
Speaker 1: I thought it was spam. It was from a marketing
4:35
Speaker 1: PR company, and it turns out that I have ended
4:41
Speaker 1: up on an email chain from Lanny J. Davis and
4:48
Speaker 1: associates either his office or I'm not even sure if
4:53
Speaker 1: this came from him or it's the PR people. I'm
4:57
Speaker 1: not exactly sure who originally put me on the list.
5:00
Speaker 1: I know that my email because of this podcast, because
5:04
Speaker 1: of the Overnight show, it still gets a lot of traction.
5:06
Speaker 1: And in the past I had the website and I
5:11
Speaker 1: mentioned this on the radio show, and because of the website,
5:13
Speaker 1: I've gotten a fair amount of people that still send
5:18
Speaker 1: me stuff randomly, like hey, they try to pitch you
5:20
Speaker 1: on a guest And I used to write back to
5:24
Speaker 1: those things and then I kept getting blown off by
5:28
Speaker 1: the biggest names, like they'll send you an either so
5:30
Speaker 1: and so a former MVP of the NFL is available
5:34
Speaker 1: to do the podcast, and so you're right back and
5:35
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, yeah, well we'll do that. And then
5:37
Speaker 1: what they do is they do the bait and switch
5:39
Speaker 1: where they'll agree for the big name to go on
5:41
Speaker 1: the pod, and then right when you're about to do
5:44
Speaker 1: the pod, he couldn't make it, but we have, you know,
5:48
Speaker 1: Joe Jabinski who would like to come on. Who's the writer.
5:52
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't really want to talk to him.
5:53
Speaker 1: The only reason I was going to do this is
5:55
Speaker 1: to talk to the name I get some hits and
5:56
Speaker 1: so anyway, so the lawyer for Shannon Charp, I'm on
6:00
Speaker 1: this email chain. Again, I don't know if this came
6:03
Speaker 1: directly from them or their PR firm. So the email
6:07
Speaker 1: is a in case you missed it, and it gives
6:10
Speaker 1: details from this is a few days ago Shannon Sharp
6:13
Speaker 1: and his attempt he claims he's being blackmailed and all
6:16
Speaker 1: this and secretly recorded. So there's a link in this
6:20
Speaker 1: email to the news conference that the attorney for Shannon
6:24
Speaker 1: Sharp held, Like, okay, I don't really need to see that.
6:28
Speaker 1: But then below it are a bunch of attachments of
6:33
Speaker 1: all of the text messages between the Only Fans Booty
6:37
Speaker 1: Model and Shannon Sharp, and I'm like, wait a minute here,
6:42
Speaker 1: so I click it. I'm like, I have Shannon Sharp.
6:45
Speaker 1: I'm sure they've changed their number by now, but Shannon
6:47
Speaker 1: Sharp's number, the only Fans Booty Model phone number, by
6:54
Speaker 1: the way, both in the three to one oer area code.
6:56
Speaker 1: I just want to point that out, both in the
6:58
Speaker 1: in La West LA area code. So everything's right there,
7:03
Speaker 1: and I mean it does not leave anything to the imagination.
7:08
Speaker 1: Some of it has gotten I mean, although it's available,
7:11
Speaker 1: but not everything. I mean, the most benign stuff is
7:16
Speaker 1: in here. There's a lot of messages like from the
7:19
Speaker 1: Booty Model telling Shannon you better effing call me. Shannon.
7:23
Speaker 1: This is unacceptable, completely unacceptable. I answer my calls and
7:28
Speaker 1: all that stuff. I mean that it's a lot of that,
7:32
Speaker 1: and then they get into the graphic the back and forth.
7:35
Speaker 1: But there's even links to Shannon, like buying her stuff.
7:40
Speaker 1: I think that's the way I read it. I mean,
7:43
Speaker 1: it's hard to keep track. There's photos of her. It's
7:47
Speaker 1: it's pretty wild. Like it's crazy. It's thirty five pages
7:53
Speaker 1: on one link of and each page has multiple thousands altogether,
7:58
Speaker 1: there's thousands of text messages and it's a lot of
8:03
Speaker 1: A nine stuff, and then there's like a lot of
8:05
Speaker 1: graphics stuff. There's there's some that make it seem like
8:11
Speaker 1: Shannon Sharp's got nothing to worry about, you know where
8:15
Speaker 1: she says, you know, treat me like a blankety blank prostitute,
8:19
Speaker 1: do whatever you want, Like that was in a text
8:22
Speaker 1: it's on page two eighty six that was sent to
8:25
Speaker 1: me from her phone. And then there's the rebuttal from him.
8:29
Speaker 1: So who knows what's going to happen. I mean there's
8:31
Speaker 1: even money, like he would buy her stuff. And she
8:37
Speaker 1: says in one of the messages the only fans booty
8:40
Speaker 1: model that she kept track. She said, you didn't give
8:43
Speaker 1: me twenty five hundred two weeks ago. You gave me
8:46
Speaker 1: like back in March, she gave me twenty five hundred
8:49
Speaker 1: to three thousand. And I mean it's, you know, the
8:53
Speaker 1: whole thing, it's all played out right there. I mean,
8:55
Speaker 1: there's nothing, nothing missing at all. So this really was
9:01
Speaker 1: the malor mother Load. And I haven't even gone through
9:04
Speaker 1: all of it. I don't have enough time. I do
9:07
Speaker 1: not have enough time to go through everything. So I
9:11
Speaker 1: appreciate whoever added meat from the PR firm or from
9:14
Speaker 1: the attorney's office there that sent me the emails that
9:18
Speaker 1: have the text. But wow, wild quality reading. And I've
9:24
Speaker 1: had multiple people already reach out to me because I
9:26
Speaker 1: mentioned this on the radio show and they're like, Hey,
9:27
Speaker 1: can you send me that link. I'd like to get
9:29
Speaker 1: the copy of those text messages. I want to see
9:32
Speaker 1: what you're dealing with over there. Now turning the page
9:35
Speaker 1: on that a global exclusive. Now, I've mentioned multiple times
9:41
Speaker 1: we were going to Canada next month. We're going to Canada.
9:45
Speaker 1: Today's the twenty fifth, So so twenty fifth of April,

Speaker 1: just below British Columbia. There's a listener in Oregon, even Vegas,
13:54
Speaker 1: and I think that's all. I'd have to go back
13:59
Speaker 1: and check. But there were a fair amount of people
14:01
Speaker 1: that reached out saying, hey, what are you going to
14:03

14:33
Speaker 1: six and watch the games perfect and then we'll stay

Speaker 1: for several hours and have a grand time. And then
14:40
Speaker 1: there's another opportunity if you can't make the event on Thursday.
14:43
Speaker 1: On Saturday, I will be popping my cherry at my
14:47
Speaker 1: first ever professional soccer game. I've never been to a
14:50
Speaker 1: professional soccer game, and the first game I will go
14:54
Speaker 1: to is the Vancouver White Caps versus the Portland timm

Speaker 1: They're called the timber Wolves or something. I don't know, Timbers. Anyway,
15:03
Speaker 1: we'll be at that game and that is on that Saturday.
15:07
Speaker 1: The game starts at six point thirty, So if you're
15:11
Speaker 1: able to make that, we'll try to set up some
15:14
Speaker 1: point during the game where we can meet everyone, because
15:17
Speaker 1: I think we'll be hanging out in a special area
15:19
Speaker 1: at the stadium. I'm not sure I know, but I'm
15:22
Speaker 1: not allowed to say where we'll be hanging out. It's
15:24
Speaker 1: kind of a boogie place we'll be hanging out. But
15:26
Speaker 1: I do want to meet you. If you're not able
15:28
Speaker 1: to make the meet and greet and you're able to
15:29
Speaker 1: go to that, send me an email Ben Malorshow at
15:32
Speaker 1: gmail dot com. We'll try to set something up and
15:35
Speaker 1: let us know and we'll have a grand, grand, grand time.
15:40
Speaker 1: So those are the two dates. Friday, we're just cruising around,
15:44
Speaker 1: so you might see me on Friday. We're going to
15:47
Speaker 1: check out the city and go around and see everything
15:49
Speaker 1: and all the sites in Vancouver. I'm really excited about that.
15:53
Speaker 1: There's some beautiful parks there and just amazing. Some of
15:56
Speaker 1: the photos I looked at I cheated. I looked online.
15:59
Speaker 1: Look awesome and a lot of poutine. And I mentioned
16:02
Speaker 1: this on the radio show. I didn't pay it off.
16:05
Speaker 1: Bad job by me on my to do list. Not
16:10
Speaker 1: only is it to eat all the great poutine around Vancouver,
16:13
Speaker 1: I've got to get the Costco. And the reason I've
16:16
Speaker 1: got to get to Costco is you and Vancouver do
16:19
Speaker 1: things just a little bit better. I've looked in the
16:22
Speaker 1: Vancouver Costco chicken fingers poutine, chicken fingers poutine, that is
16:30
Speaker 1: advantage Canada. What do we have to Does it take
16:33
Speaker 1: an Act of Congress to demand that Costco give the
16:38
Speaker 1: American people what they have in Canada with the poutine
16:42
Speaker 1: and with the chicken strips. Come on, bad job by you. Anyway,
16:46
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see that, so looking forward to it again.
16:50
Speaker 1: If you've been listening in Vancouver, and I know a
16:51
Speaker 1: lot of you do to the podcast and the live
16:54
Speaker 1: radio show, come on down, say hello. Thursday May twenty ninth,
16:58
Speaker 1: Saturday May thirty first at the soccer game. But we
17:00
Speaker 1: beat the court side on Maine and I'll send all
17:03
Speaker 1: this stuff out on social media in the next couple
17:06
Speaker 1: of days. So we flipped the page on that, and
17:11
Speaker 1: we will bring our Mulson muscle. By the way, that's
17:13
Speaker 1: the whole thing. That's a Canadian joke. But the Blue
17:16
Speaker 1: Porcelain Palace, this was a story that we would have
17:19
Speaker 1: gotten to, we should have gotten to, but we didn't
17:23
Speaker 1: get to. From the Overnight show, we are attacked by
17:28
Speaker 1: the Gremlins last Night dateline. Blue Heaven on Earth, Blue
17:34
Speaker 1: Heaven on Earth, wild story. Now it's a baseball story.
17:37
Speaker 1: So it's like, well, you know, is it really that Well,
17:39
Speaker 1: So the Dodgers got the big whale, the big whale
17:44
Speaker 1: of the offseason, Roki Sazaki. Everyone wanted it, the Yankees,
17:50
Speaker 1: the Giants, the Rangers, and the Phillies. A bunch of
17:53
Speaker 1: teams wanted this guy, right, Dodgers got him. He's the
17:57
Speaker 1: new prodigy from Japan, and he got paid. He got paid.
18:03
Speaker 1: He was only able to sign with funds from the
18:06
Speaker 1: International Bonus Pool, and so a lot of teams wanted him.
18:12
Speaker 1: The Dodgers ended up winning the sweepstakes. And now we
18:15
Speaker 1: are hearing, as Paul Harvey would say, the rest of
18:21
Speaker 1: the story. That's right, the rest of the story. So
18:24
Speaker 1: it turns out that the Dodgers think one of the
18:29
Speaker 1: selling points was not just having other great Japanese players,
18:35
Speaker 1: it was that the Dodgers bended over to accommodate a
18:43
Speaker 1: very specific request that Sazaki had very unique request in
18:49
Speaker 1: order to play for the Dodgers. While they were on
18:52
Speaker 1: the prowl, while the Dodgers were doing the mating dance
18:56
Speaker 1: to try to get Roki Sazaki to sign on the
18:59
Speaker 1: Dodge a docu sign, they were making renovations to the
19:05
Speaker 1: to the clubhouse because you know, God forbid the players
19:07
Speaker 1: have to have to go in an old, stuffy clubhouse.
19:10
Speaker 1: So Dodgers are making renovations to the locker room and
19:17
Speaker 1: the president, longtime sports executive, stand cast and was chatting
19:25
Speaker 1: to Suzaki. He's like, oh yeah, we're gonna have all
19:27
Speaker 1: the amenities, you know. He's pumping his chest out, walking
19:30
Speaker 1: around like a rooster. Oh yeah, we got everything. We
19:33
Speaker 1: got everything you could want. The Dodgers suit said, and
19:39
Speaker 1: we're going to have this, We're going to have that.
19:41
Speaker 1: And Sazaki had one request. He said, are you the
19:47
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Dodgers going to have Japanese style toilets? And
19:53
Speaker 1: of course they weren't. They were not going to have it.
19:55
Speaker 1: Rather odd, very specific request, and turns out it was
20:04
Speaker 1: not not a joke. Now, Sozaki said, it sounded like
20:09
Speaker 1: a joke, but he said he was very serious. He
20:12
Speaker 1: said it was very important to him. It was pretty
20:14
Speaker 1: important to him to have the Japanese style toys. So,
20:17
Speaker 1: continuing the story here, so the Dodger executive asked if
20:22
Speaker 1: it would play a role in his decision, and he
20:25
Speaker 1: ended up taking the idea to another big shot at
20:30
Speaker 1: the Dodgers who was in the planning and development of
20:33
Speaker 1: the renovation, and that person said, well, what are we
20:37
Speaker 1: supposed to do? The renovations are already underway. Everything got
20:42
Speaker 1: to prove, you know, you do some renovations. You got
20:44
Speaker 1: to go through all the red tape with the politicians
20:47
Speaker 1: and the city planners and all that. So the other
20:50
Speaker 1: weasel there executive stand casted, said, what's kind of important.
20:54
Speaker 1: It's kind of important. So then there's a number, and
21:00
Speaker 1: I want to share the number with you because the
21:01
Speaker 1: number seems outrageous to me and I'm trying to get
21:03
Speaker 1: how they get that number. So they said that the
21:07
Speaker 1: decision to approve the Japanese Lou, if you will, the
21:15
Speaker 1: Japanese Lou, the throne added added one hundred million dollars
21:24
Speaker 1: to the clubhouse renovations. How on God's green Earth is
21:30
Speaker 1: that number possible? Seriously, that seems ridiculous. There's no way
21:37
Speaker 1: it can't be one hundred million dollars. I've tried to
21:40
Speaker 1: do the map. Now. I am a fan of the
21:42
Speaker 1: Japanese toilet. I like the badet. My name is Ben Mahler,
21:46
Speaker 1: and I like the badat I do. I was embarrassed.
21:50
Speaker 1: My wife got the the bidet for the toilets, and
21:54
Speaker 1: it was very odd at first. It's like, well, this
21:56
Speaker 1: is emasculating. But once you godet, you don't go back.
22:03
Speaker 1: It's the toilet with the water spray for you for
22:06
Speaker 1: your bottom side there, your posterior and if you're a lady,
22:10
Speaker 1: your little feminine parts there, and it's great, it's great,
22:14
Speaker 1: it's wonderful. In Japan, I guess they have heated seats,
22:17
Speaker 1: they have deodorizers and things like that, and I don't
22:19
Speaker 1: have that. I just have the basic. They've got a
22:22
Speaker 1: drying function or the warm dry and you don't need
22:27
Speaker 1: toilet paper and all that. They've got a massage thing,
22:30
Speaker 1: the pulsating water feature. So I was like, oh, how
22:34
Speaker 1: much does this cost the basic Like I think the
22:37
Speaker 1: company's tushy. I think that's the name of it. But
22:40
Speaker 1: the basic model is anywhere from like two hundred to
22:44
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars. Okay, the Dodgers aren't going to do
22:49
Speaker 1: a basic model, So I say, well, I looked it up.
22:50
Speaker 1: I was like, I fell down this rabbit hole. I
22:52
Speaker 1: was like, well, how much let's dose some matthew. How
22:57
Speaker 1: much would a high end Japanese toilet with the bidet cost?
23:03
Speaker 1: So like, well, high end is anywhere from one thousand
23:06
Speaker 1: dollars to a little bit over ten thousand dollars. I said,
23:10
Speaker 1: my god, that's a lot of money. So at ten
23:13
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, how many how many do you think they need?
23:16
Speaker 1: The Dodgers have a lot of but they don't have
23:18
Speaker 1: to have every toilet be a Japanese toilet. They can
23:22
Speaker 1: have a wing of Japanese toilets. So at ten thousand,
23:26
Speaker 1: let's say they put I don't know, we'll put what's
23:31
Speaker 1: the number, how about like eighteen, We'll put a random number,
23:34
Speaker 1: eighteen of these toilets put them in there. Well, you
23:37
Speaker 1: do the math, and that's one hundred and eighty thousand dollars.
23:41
Speaker 1: That's one hundred and eighty thousand dollars. That's a lot
23:44
Speaker 1: of money. If you're getting ten thousand dollars toilets at
23:47
Speaker 1: eighteen of them, that's a fair amount, but it's not
23:51
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars. Like, I don't know how you
23:54
Speaker 1: get one hundred million dollars. I don't know. That just
23:56
Speaker 1: seems like the most poppy cock answer possible, Like even
24:00
Speaker 1: the high end models are they've got remote controls, you
24:04
Speaker 1: can connect your phone to them, your iPhone, all that,
24:08
Speaker 1: and they've got all the functions. But still at ten
24:10
Speaker 1: thousand dollars or even a little more than that, you're
24:13
Speaker 1: not getting to one hundred million. And this request? Does
24:18
Speaker 1: this not sound the roy Key Sazaki request for the
24:23
Speaker 1: the blue Porcelain Palace? Does it not seem like those
24:28
Speaker 1: Rock and Roll backstage rider requests where Madonna wanted a
24:33
Speaker 1: brand new toilet set at every venue. The most famous
24:36
Speaker 1: one is Van Halen, who demanded a bowl of m
24:40
Speaker 1: and m's with the brown ones picked out right, No
24:44
Speaker 1: brown emin ms. Get rid of the brown m and ms,
24:47
Speaker 1: even though through I mean there's a bunch of those things.
24:50
Speaker 1: You know, certain people Christina Aguilera back in that they
24:53
Speaker 1: needed a police escort. David Hasselhoff demanded a life size
24:57
Speaker 1: cutout of himself and just you know, on and on
25:03
Speaker 1: and on and on and on. All right, number that time.
25:06
Speaker 1: Now for the word of the week. That's right, the
25:10
Speaker 1: word of the week, and we're going to go deep
25:14
Speaker 1: in our lexicon in honor of the big announcement, the
25:17
Speaker 1: details on the Great Malard Meet and Greet, the first
25:21
Speaker 1: one of twenty twenty five, the first one ever outside
25:24
Speaker 1: the United States in Canada, Ohada. And while we are
25:31
Speaker 1: trying to get our Mulson muscle, I thought I would
25:34
Speaker 1: honor our friends in Canada with a word that has
25:37
Speaker 1: been mocked on American television for some time, and it's
25:42
Speaker 1: the most Canadian word many Americans can think of. The
25:46
Speaker 1: word of the week is hoser. That's right, your hoser.
25:52
Speaker 1: So a hoser is a Canadian slang term. I think
25:55
Speaker 1: you probably knew that, and it's a very funny term.
26:00
Speaker 1: And in modern times, the times were in today as
26:04
Speaker 1: I understand now you're in Canada, and I could be
26:08
Speaker 1: completely full of doodo. This is my research. This is
26:12
Speaker 1: my research, and this is what I came up with.
26:14
Speaker 1: So the term hosers Canadian slang term, and in current
26:19
Speaker 1: times it means in somebody's little, clumsy, goofy, uncoordinated, unsophisticated, borish, bedraggled,
26:29
Speaker 1: all of those things. And it's typically a Canadian dude
26:34
Speaker 1: who enjoys three things, beer, hockey and relaxing. Beer hockey
26:42
Speaker 1: and relaxing. And it became pretty popular in the nineteen
26:49
Speaker 1: eighties because of Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas on The
26:55
Speaker 1: Great White North, which was a segment on SCTV. Can
27:00
Speaker 1: also be interpreted as an insult. If you want to
27:02
Speaker 1: take it as an insult, you're you're a loser, you know,
27:05
Speaker 1: how dare you? But from what I understand, like what
27:09
Speaker 1: I've seen, is like it's a term of endearment. It's like, ah,
27:13
Speaker 1: you're such a holser. It's kind of a fun thing
27:16
Speaker 1: and everyone smiles and all that stuff. Now, the part
27:19
Speaker 1: of this which I thought was the most interesting, and
27:22
Speaker 1: this is the part I did not know, I was
27:25
Speaker 1: unaware of, And it's one of those things the rest
27:28
Speaker 1: of the story. So the origins of the term hoser
27:35
Speaker 1: relate to the days long ago. This is I'm so
27:39
Speaker 1: far back. There was no zamboni, And we're going back
27:41
Speaker 1: to the Depression when times were tough, the era of
27:46
Speaker 1: the Depression, and the farmer, the down of the luck.
27:51
Speaker 1: Farmer would siphon gas with a hose. Literally, they were
27:58
Speaker 1: hosers there. They needed the gas, they siphoned it with
28:02
Speaker 1: their mouth through the hose, and thus became the term hoser.
28:07
Speaker 1: How many people do you think had to do that
28:11
Speaker 1: before they came up with the term hoser. I think
28:14
Speaker 1: of the number of people that had to be doing that.
28:18
Speaker 1: And the other origin, which is not this is like
28:22
Speaker 1: a more modern thing, but it still predates the zamboni.
28:26
Speaker 1: The losing team who lost the hockey match had to
28:30
Speaker 1: hose down the rink. They were hosers. They were the losers.
28:35
Speaker 1: They had the hose down the rink. So those are
28:38
Speaker 1: the two most common origins of the word hoser. So
28:46
Speaker 1: there it is. We'll put the baby to bed. We'll
28:48
Speaker 1: be watching random NBA playoff games tonight, and we'll have
28:54
Speaker 1: a new podcast obviously tomorrow, and I will be checking
28:57
Speaker 1: out the NFL Draft. Am I going to watch the
29:00
Speaker 1: NFL Draft. I'm going to be flipper. I'm gonna flip
29:03
Speaker 1: over to the draft. The Rams haven't made a bloody
29:07
Speaker 1: pick yet, which kind of annoys me. I do like
29:08
Speaker 1: the rams, and there's some players I'm curious about where
29:12
Speaker 1: they're going to get drafted and all that, and so
29:14
Speaker 1: we will take a look at that and the yap
29:17
Speaker 1: about the various players that are picked and Shoulder Sanders
29:22
Speaker 1: where he's going to get drafted today as an example.
29:26
Speaker 1: So all of that will break it down on the
29:29
Speaker 1: pod tomorrow. Some of that on the pod tomorrow. We
29:31
Speaker 1: don't do too much sports. But anyway, have a wonderful
29:36
Speaker 1: rest of your Friday. Thank you for listening to the podcast.
29:38
Speaker 1: Thank you for listening all week to the radio show.
