  Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

  Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to the Clearinghouse

  Speaker 1: Maller and Danny G Radio. It's Saturday, hanging out with you.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: It's the twenty fourth day of May. We are back
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: at it, slaving away on the weekend, the hot microphones
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: in the pods studio, ready to bloviate all day long.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Well actually like maybe the next thirty forty minutes. Who
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: knows how long this will be. But Dany, we were
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: back at it and last night. How about those New
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: York Knicks home court advantage? Baby, the Knicks are They're
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: not gonna lose back to back games at home, Danny G.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: No way. The Indiana Pacers cannot win back to back
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: games at Madison Square Garden, the world's most famous arena.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Unless yeah, yikes, as you would say. They vomited all
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: over themselves, rode.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: The vomit commet. They sucked at a time you cannot suck.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: It was a tie game going to the fourth court.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: They were tied at eighty one, and then in the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter, did not get her done. Did not get
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: her done by the skin on their chinny chinchin the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Knicks blow it. And so the Pacers, oh my god,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: they have a choke hold. They have an absolute choke hold.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: I see what you did there on this series.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Here, and how about the Pacers the winning last night.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: They're so good on the road in these playoffs, and
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: the Knicks are three and five at home in the playoffs.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: No, I know they're gotta losing regular Tyrese Haliburton. In
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the first half, I was flipping back and forth because
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I may or may not have had some bets on
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the on the on the baseball, but I'm watching the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: basketball and he was horrific. Every time I flipped over,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: he was missing a shot or not making the right pass,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and it was it was not not good. He's one
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: of seven at halftime. Now, one of those at the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: end was just like a throwaway three point shot. Uh,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you know, to try to beat the buzzer, but still
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: he was. He was terrible in the first half. And
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: then Indiana to win a game with Halliburton, who's been
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: their guy. Not all that great, but it's it's legend
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and as long as this guy plays, he will always
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: be associated with Marcel and Brooklyn. Pascal Sea cum Uh
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Pascal Siakam was outstanding, uh for the for the Pacers
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: obviously me led led thirty nine point twenty three of
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: them in the first half.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, and doesn't see it come look like he's fifty
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: years old.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: That is still one of the greatest things I've ever had. Yeah,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: he's a little older, but you know, one of the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: greatest soundbites ever. And so there you go. And there's
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: not like one person to blame per se for the Knicks.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: You could say Jalen Brunson. He did have ten points
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Ah, those last couple of threes he shot up were
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: ugly looking.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And there was that inbounds play where he got
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: called for the foul I.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Think it was, but the taste holding that jersey.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I mean there were a couple of things there.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: But the Knicks did not have a lead in the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: fourth court. There were no lead changes. It was tied
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: once obviously the start of the quarter, but there were
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: no lead changes. And so Indiana, I have no skin
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: in the game. I liked I like the way the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Pacers are playing, So whatever, that's.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: What I feel like. You know, Brunson that first three
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: he chucked up at the end of the game, felt
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: like he really rushed that shot because he thought they
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: were going to foul him.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, the thing about the Pacers, though, watching the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: way they play, it's like they didn't have that Andrew
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Nemhart didn't go crazy, Nate Smith didn't really none of
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: those secondary guys. It was Siakam. And then the other
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: thing that stood out with the Pacers is the fact
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: that they they just they don't do anything terribly on offense.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like they're good in every phase, just
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: about it. It's pretty crazy anyway. So that's the basketball.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: How about the Yankees last night losing to the Colorado Rockies. Wow,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: how much money do you think the sports book on
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the low information fan that saw all those stories written
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: about how the Rockies and they are the Rockies off
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to the worst fifty game start in the history of
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: professional baseball and the mighty New York Yankees came into
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Coors Field on a random Friday night in May last night,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: and how about that. The Yankees go down and Aaron
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Judge hit a home run and the Yankees still lose.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: That's the ninth win of the year for the Rockies.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: We're on the holiday weekend. Normally, this big holiday weekend,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Monday is always the day where you're supposed to look
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: at the baseball standings, and that's like the first major
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: point in the baseball season where you're like, are you good,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: are you bad? Are you a contender? Are you a pretender?
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Like all that stuff, and you know, it's just one random,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: random day. There was some weird stuff though, like the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Red Sox we're actually trailing after five innings to the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Orioles and ended up winning nineteen to five in their
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: game at Filway. So there was some some wacky stuff
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: that took place. And on this pod, as we hang
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: out together, we're just you know, kind of see what's
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: going on in the world and whatnot. We have. Later on,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: we'll have the very popular phrase of the week, the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: phrase of the week that'll be coming up a little
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: bit later tomorrow. We've got the mail bag, don't I

  Speaker 1: or this coming weekend, I guess, And so there's no
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: game in Vancouver. So we have nothing else planned at

  Speaker 1: this point. It's getting late in the game, so if
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: anything else happens, we will we will let you know.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: We will let you know what's going on with that. Anyway,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Later on we will discuss more from the science world,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: because we haven't done much science.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, we haven't done scientifical in a while.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we've not done that in a while.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Also, a pickleball fight that has gone viral and I
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: actually texted the clip to you. So as we get
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: through this plot, I'd like you to take a look
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: at this hilarious video and before the show is over,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I'll let everybody know where they can go look at it.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you old pick a ball. I saw. The Belichick
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: story took another turn yesterday as Jordaan Hudson sent out
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: a message calling Pablo Torres reporting defamatory, but then she
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: deleted the post. I'm a little confused by that, Like
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: you can't really delete anything on social media. It's once
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: it's o And.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: I'm so sick of that couple. They're the new Travis
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Kelcey Taylor Swift to me because every single date. Huh dude,
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: there's a thing about Jordan every day.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah no, I hey, listen every day because People magazine.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: It's a People magazine story. It's like tabloids. Yes, it's
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: getting it's getting traction.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: The name of his boat one ring plus eight or whatever.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Which is the ultimate like the Bill Belichick's the new
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: definition of whipped. If like you're putting a what a
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: cheerleading championship ring from a Division five school in Maine
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: up against the Super Bowls and all that. I mean,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: my god, uh, I just I just like when people
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: de lead stuff on social media thinking well, no one
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: else see that, and then it's like in on all
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the websites they have the screenshot, like People Magazine and
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: all that, and so it's just I get it. I
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: get a kick out of that. It does seem like also,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, I saw this yesterday. Aaron Rodgers. I guess
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: is he's still playing this weird game. But he heina
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: confirmed indirectly that he's going to play for the Steelers,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: although he did it in your passive aggressive way that
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: he often does. Rogers was speaking at some event in Austin.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: He's been in Austin. He was on the Rogan podcast.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know who listens to that, but he's He
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: was hanging out at a public event in Austin and
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: some kid, always the kids, some kid asked if there
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: was any chance that he could sign with the Chicago Bears,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: which is completely reasonable. The Bears went out and got
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams. That's completely reasonable. That they would they would
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: add they would add Aaron Rodgers after that anyway, Rogers,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: he said, no, he told the kid, but I believe
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: there's a team that might play in Chicago this year,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: a road trip. He says. I love Chicago, though, he said,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: way more than they love me. Great relationship, all that stuff.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: So immediately we all went to the Steelers schedule and
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: ding Ning Ning ning Ning. If you look at the
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: steel schedule, they are on the road against the Bears
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: in week twelve, November twenty third. So wow. Now Rogers
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: claimed this week that the reason he has not signed
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: is because he's got sick people in his world. They
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: have like the cancer and all that stuff. And I
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: still believe my conspiracy that a big part of this
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: is he got killed, absolutely killed last year when he
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: was with the Jets, and he went to Egypt and
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: missed some practice. And so I figure, like, if he
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: doesn't sign with the Steelers, nobody can say, hey, you're
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: bad job by you for missing this or missing that.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: So as long as he waits, we're almost into June.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Though this is the last our last Saturday, right, I was,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I guess our second to last set. Wait, when is
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: June first? Is it next Saturday? I don't even know
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: his next weekend?
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I'm looking on my calendar right now. Yeah,
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: next Saturday is the thirty first.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, So next Sunday? Okay. So we're heading into the
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: last the last week in the month of May and
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: then training camps in July. Mid July uses when training
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: camp starts, so we're really not that far. We're far off.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: What's the cutoff date? June fifteenth or something like that
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: for the Steelers with Aaron Rodgers, we will find out.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: We have enjoyed the spit the phrase of the week,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: and why don't we get to this story about the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: brew haha involving the pickle right now?
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Ben, click on that. Our homie, Clay Travis switeted
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: this out yesterday.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: All right, Alumni Association Clay Travis.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah at Clay Travis. He says, I can't stop watching this.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Leading with the high kick was bold, but bro, the
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: running punch is the real star here. And his co
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: host on The Limbaugh Show, Buck Sexton, has this video
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: of these guys who were fighting during a pickleball game.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: After watching this video, I feel like Mike Tyson sexist
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: to say, kicking like little girls sexist. But they look
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: like they didn't even horse around with their siblings. I mean,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: one guy, you'll see he throws a running punch and
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: misses and falls flat on his face and rolls on
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: his belly. The other guy does this weird kind of
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: kick where, man, you need to see this video. It's hilarious.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: I watched it, but the one probably ten times in
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: a row.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: The guy with the green kind of the green shirt.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: There he's holding. There, he's holding the racket he did hit.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: He swung once with the racket. The guy in the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: blue shirt should have kept his racket. You don't drop
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: your weapon.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: When you're going to I was gonna say, this is
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: why the NFL doesn't let you take your helmet off.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, well we had that. We what was his
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: name for, Miles Garrett? Remember he went forward try to
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: throw the help Yeah yeah, back.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: In the Remember famously was it Lyle Alzado who used
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: his helmet as a weapon back in the day. Got
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: the matter. The only male dominance in this video, whatsoever,
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: is the guy swinging his racket to hit the other
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: guy the blue The guy in the blue shirt on
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: the ground. This is the kind of wimpy fight you
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: would expect from pickleball players.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was it. I wonder what they were fighting
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: about that, Like, what what do you think the fight
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: origin was? Was it a bet? Did they have a bet?
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Did somebody violate one of these sacred rules of pickleball? No?
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: I bet you it was something really silly, like a
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: ball being in or out.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've never played pickaball. Have you attempted pick a ball?
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm old enough to play pickle ball. I'm
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: of the age I should want to be into pickleball.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Now I don't want to be into pickle ball. I
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: have no interest in pickleball. I'm annoyed when I go
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: by the park and see people playing pickleball. It's it's
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: in where I live. There's some tennis courts and one
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: of them has been turned into a pickleball court. So
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the whole thing annoying for me. But have you attempted
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the pickle ball to any of you gone out with
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: the wife and had a nice night of pickleball?
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we have a tennis court that's not too far.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: A few years ago, when it first was like the
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: thing to try out took our kids up there and
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: they had their pickleball rackets and a few pickleballs, and
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: we tried it out. It's just like ghetto tennis. There
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: you go.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: What happened? Remember a couple of years ago there were
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: stories about athletes buying pickleball teams. It was gonna be.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Well that worked out? Well?
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, like whatever happened. Like they were all these
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: stories that so and so is buying a pickle ball team,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: and these are gonna be like the next big thing
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: is pickleball? Did I miss that? Is it already over?
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's over.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: This video is so embarrassing.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, all right, moving on from that, some
• 15:55

  Speaker 1: you know, the Life and Times of Malor and Danny
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: g Radio. And this past weekend did not leave the
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: house other than to go to dinner with a with
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: a friend of mine who like a late birthday dinner
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: type thing. But my buddy, he was upset because he said,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: you go here where you want for dinner. Now, we
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: don't eat a lot. We don't eat out a lot
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: these days. Been cooking a lot. Like enjoy cooking, so
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: would rather just eat at home. It's cheaper, you can
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: make whatever you want, and what's around in the kitchen.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: So my buddies like, go anywhere we want to. So
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: this this Italian place that I like, and I'm a
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: big fan of the fetichini alfredo, and so I was say,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I want to go. This Italian place is really good,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: and he's like, no, that's you should go to a steakhouse.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: And he was Danny. The guy was busting my balls,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: saying that I made a poor decision because he was
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: going to buy dinner and I should have gone to
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: a steakhouse. But I wanted Italian. I didn't want a steak.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: And if I wanted a steak, I could have gotten
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: a steak at the you know, the Italian restaurant had steak.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: But I didn't want steak. I wanted the fetichini alfredo.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: That's what I want. I cooked mine the proper way,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: butterfly cut, and then I cook it well done. That
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: me and Rob Parker enjoy our steak the same way.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: And there's something. It's not a waste. The customer is
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: always right. That's the proper way to enjoy a steak.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: But the point is, I didn't want a steak. I
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: wanted pasta. And why would you invite me to a
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: birthday dinner and then bust my balls because I didn't
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: pick the right restaurant. You know what I believe it is.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I think he wanted steak and he assumed, since it's
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: a birthday meal, that he would we would go to
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: a steakhouse, and that I screwed up his plans because
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I ended up choosing an Italian restaurant. But he really
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: wanted a steak. So it's really more about him, not
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: about me. That's my theory. It's my my gambling buddy
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Hunter who give me a hard time. It's ridiculous, absolutely pathetic.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: What did he order off the menu that uh he ordered?
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I had the fetichin the alfredo with
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the UH, and then I had I had the it
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: is where I had a combo chicken parm fetichi in
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: the alfredo, So I had the chicken from the chicken
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: parm and then I had the fetichine alfredo. He had.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: It was some kind of meat dish, but it wasn't
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: a steak. I forget, and then we had.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: The you don't even know. So this sounds like it
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: went back to all about being about you.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Well I didn't. I don't care what other people eat.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I don't judge. See, this is the problem. And there's
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: a lot of people that judge, Like you know, some
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: people and I'm not gonna name names here, but sometimes
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: like if I ordered a steak a certain way, there's
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: some people that are criticized the way I order a steak,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, why would anyone do that because
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: it's my steak. They're not eating the steak. It's my steak.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: It's what I want, you know what. You would give
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: me a hard touch of well, you know, ruin a
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: steak well done, And I'm like, no, no, no, I
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: just I don't worry about what you eat. You can go.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I don't care. If my friend eats dog food, I
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: don't care. I'm not eating it. I'm not going to
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: take anything off his plate. He can have the freaking
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: dog food. Knock yourself out, you know, chow chow pow wow.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm just saying I'm just I'm putting
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: that out now. One thing I did make last weekend,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: which is rare. I think I've bet it one other
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: time and it is truly without a doubt. And I
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: can say this from the bottom of my heart as
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: having eaten it last week. Enjoy the spit. Enjoy the spit.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: The culinary journey continues and we return to a favorite
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: on the whole menu which we've only made one other time,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: some delicious chicken shwarma. Very exciting and you've not had
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I think has everyone had chicken shwarma at this point?
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Should we do? We need to tell people what that is.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I feel like people should know what that is. But
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: it's very popular in the Middle East, right It's like
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: a street food in places like Turkey and Israel and
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Iraq and place like that, and anyway, it's not that
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: hard to make. It just takes a long time. You
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: get to get a spit. My wife got one on
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: like the Amazon, and so we got that. The traditionally
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: it's you know, it's just you spice the meat and
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: you stack it, and the key part is to cut
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: it the right way. You gotta cut it thin cut
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: slice shaved off meat and you just mix together a
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: bunch of garlic and spices and a bunch of lemon
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: and some olive oil. And it takes a couple hours
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: to make in a traditional oven. And the good thing
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: is there's always a lot of extra. And I don't
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: normally eat leftover as Danny, as you know, I'm not
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: a leftover guy. I don't believe in leftovers. However, this
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: is the exception of the rule.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: This in pizza, I will eat because the flavor settles
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: in on this.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really outstanding. So that's good. You know, probably
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: make more of it at some point this weekend, so
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: we'll we'll see what happens with that. But that was
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: the big culinary event of the weekend last weekend. Very exciting.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I'm also proud of the magic box that
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I have that I'm able to watch all these games
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: with on the TV. I've told you about the magic box.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: You've chosen, You've chosen to avoid the magic box. But
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I've gotten so much use out of the magic box, Danny,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: that the magic box I had, I had to change
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: the batteries on the remote control because the magic box
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: has been getting a extreme workout. My right hand has
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: been getting a workout flipping channels on the magic box,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: which is a good sign. That means that the magic
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: box is being used the proper amount. In fact, I'm
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: gonna have to eat the Costco later today to buy
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: more batteries for the magic box. I am such a
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: radio loser. Put that in your pipe and smoke. The
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: phrase of the week time now for the phrase all
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: the week. So the phrase of the week this week
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: is something everyone in radio dreads, silence. Silence is gold Man.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah that I still have nightmares about dead air on
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: the network.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you. We get dead air on
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: the network feed every hour for ten seconds before the
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: top of the hour, there's dead air. And if I'm
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: in the studio sitting there, I immediately like, what is
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: going on? Why is there nothing there? And I know
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: exactly when the dead air is going to come. But anyway,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: the phrase silence is golden is a proverb, and obviously
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: it means, you know, keep quiet. That can be a
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: good thing, that's valuable. Quiet is valuable, it is good,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: and that speaking occasionally in certain situations will cause more
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: more harm right unnecessarily. And I was surprised when I
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: found out the phrase silence is golden. It goes back
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: to ancient times FN. Why the people that study this
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff say that ancient Egyptians walk like good
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Egyptian Ancient Egyptians they looked at the text as early
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: as four thousand years ago and they determined that this
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: phrase was used in ancient times. They went back to
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: in Egypt, one of the great philosophers of the time
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: said that silence is more profitable than abundance of speech.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: There was a medieval proverb speech is silver, but silence
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: is golden was another version of this that has been
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: twisted around now. In the earliest English use of the
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: exact phrase silence is golden someone named Thomas Carlisle in
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: eighteen thirty one, so that's a couple hundred years ago,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: and he used that as a wise old saying. So
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: if it's a wise old saying in eighteen thirty one,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: then it's a really wise old, old old saying at
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: this point. And so silence is golden. That goes all
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: the way back to ancient times and the Egyptians medieval
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: time passed through. There's been different versions in Egyptian, Arabic,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: European and whatnot. And the modern form. The modern form
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: going back to the nineteenth century, and it's alive and well.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: The phrase of the week, silence is golden four thousand
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: years ago. That a while four thousand year ago, raise
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: and we are still using it today, which is, yeah.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: It ain't golden. If you cause silence on six hundred affiliates.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Uh well, you might get a call. You might might
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: get a phone. Although I have noticed that there's any
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: kind of glitches with the Gremlins. What they do is
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: they'll just put music on and so you'll just get
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: some some nice music there, and it's the it's the
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: way to go. Absolutely. Uh well, I was gonna do
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: some science stuff, but I think we're think I think
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: we're okay, Dan, I think we're you know, maybe do tomorrow.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: We could start before the mail bag tomorrow. We can
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: do some scientifical.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: All right, very good. We'll have a wonderful rest of
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: your Saturday. I'd say enjoy the basketball.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: But I you know, Danny, I what it is in Minnesota.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: So don't you think the Tea Wolves will look a
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: little bit different.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: It's a bad matchup. They just don't match up well
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: with Oklahoma City. They just this should be a sweep.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: It's the NBA, so it will likely not be a sweep.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: But it's don't say that I don't want to sweep
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: in the semi finals. We are.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: We're dangerously close, Danny, to the Indiana Pacers and the
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma City Thunder in the final that we'll watch no
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: matter what because we're sporty people. But holy crap, they
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: are not going to get any average people, any casuals
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: are not going to be watching the NBA finals, which
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: ain't my problem. It's not your problem. We don't work
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: for the NBA. That's an NBA problem. That's not our problem. Okay,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: but holy canoli, man, we are that close. Just a
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: couple more wins by the Thunder and the Pacers after
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: that game last night, and it is on like Nightmere City.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll get out having a wonderful day. We'll
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: talk to you tomorrow with a mailbag later.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Excavator, my flation
