Ka Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of the old republic a sole fashion of fairness. He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere. We are back at it on a Saturday. Big thanks to t Jay Reeves who checked in on the Friday

Pudd com with you panned bad noise. He spent two dollars on right there. It's a rip

off from another network, a different platform. Yes, yes, you guys had a big bromance over the weekend, you and t J. And then on Friday. It's amazing. Listen. You know some of us have friends in broadcasting. Some of us don't. T J. I go way back apparent by the type of people that get certain jobs at certain places. So yeah, I can fully agree with you on that

hanging out. We were catching up on the good old days at Fox Sports Radio, those days along behind and it was it was just wonderful to work alongside a professional NFL broadcaster and NFL broadcaster t J. Reeves, who's solid radio guy Tampa market for many many years there. He knows everybody, and and uh, it was just it was just wonderful. It was wonderful to not break bread because we actually didn't eat together because he didn't have time because he was working. But it was it was good.

And uh, saving the Buccaneer radio broadcast gas Gun confirmed by t J Reeves without my intervention. They're helping Gene Deckerhoff make his way to the broadcast booth. There would have been issues. There would have been issues, and who knows what would have taken place. So I'm waiting for the Buccaneers to send me some kind of certificate uh in the mail. We'll see if that happens or not. But I think I've deserved at it the very least.

So on this podcast, the Saturday Podcast, We've got Medicine Man Mallard, Power of the Podcast, and Storage Wars and whatever else you can toss in there. On top of that, guest on, do you have anything amazing to add this week to the podcast? Anything that will blow people away? No, but I do feel like I need uh, I need to re up on my request for mc attire. I feel like we need more from like the Buffalo Bulls or from like the akron Zips. Oh that is put

Northern Illinois Huskies, Central Michigan, Western Michigan. You used to bust my boss. It's different. It's different, like you get all these like benefits. You get all these like benefits. I need like some kind of kicked me down, like I needed I did something for for doing this right. I need like a little bit of like a um, I need a little bit of a tap on the backset, if you will. So you got all the good stuff like can't I ask for anything? No, no, no, no no,

se I would think, I don't ask for anything. Well, ship you don't, don't. What do I ask for? I don't give me an example of when I asked for something. Well, I didn't ask for anything either. I just said I felt like I need to have a reup on my mac attarre. That's all I said. You know, you got all bent out of shape, and as you you had a bone of contention with yours. Truly, here you were.

You're fuming over me being the hat benefactor, and you were upset by that, and there was bitterness and animosity, and you were very very annoyed that the fan of the podcast was very kind and knowing that I have chosen rather too rather than wearing no hat, I need to cover my head and so they've sent me many hats. I am the mad hatter of sports chatter and that

bothers you and you need vengeance. But now you change your I just uh, you know, we're into fall now officially, and it's football season, and so the mac brings us some kind of up and down football during the middle of the week. I feel like I need to upgrade my game on the attire. Bowling Green had a huge

upset last week against Minnesota. I feel like we need to be repping at least me a lot and proud and plus the plus those shirts that kind of fit me pretty well, form fitting um, accentuate certain body portions, you know, parts, and uh, I feel like I do the conference a good service. Yeah, well it's radio though they can't nobody can see what you're well. You know that.

That brings me to my next point is that I need a few more requests on online to uh you know, I mean, I gotta do a little something something on cameo. You know, I gotta have a couple of orders or Okay, now you're asking to anything else you'd like, Like, you know, I do need a new hat. This one does Dodger blue hat that I'm wearing. It's a little old, it's a little rusty, it's a little sweat logged. Um, I could use a hat from the mac washing. I don't want to wash a hat. I don't like washing hats.

What's of course you wash a hat that's how you keep it new and fresh and clean. It's not really my style. Now I have I have different If you look at my hat collection, I have different tiers of hat. Yeah, I have the the hat for moving, the hat that I use when I'm gonna get sweaty and grimy and all that. Those are typically the lower end hat. Then I have the mid your hat, which occasionally I can

get a little sweaty. The mid tier hat, I like the hat, but I'm willing to get a little dirty because I know I to wash the hat and I'm okay with it. And then I have what I call the top tier hat, which are the rare hats that are hard to get your hands on. And with those hats, I never wear them when there's a chance of sweat. In fact, if it goes over a certain temperature, those hats do not come out of the hat case. They stay there because those are the magical hats that I

want to keep pure and innocent. I want them to remain in their virgin state, and so I do not take those hats out at all. So I have That's what I have done. And so what you have there on your head, the Dodger hat, is a workman Dodger hat, and so that's that's that's a good Dodger hat. I have one that I actually would I regularly wear that. When I played in a media game at Dodger Stadium years ago, they the equipment guy the hats they had. They had these little cheap hats that button in the back,

and my head was too big. The hats wouldn't fit. So the the guy that works with the Dodgers that I've known for years, he went in the origin room at Dodger Stadium, pulled out a hat, the same hat the players are wearing, and so here I got an extra got size eight. Nobody on the team wears a size eight here. So I put it on and I that's that's my lucky hat. But it has gotten a little sweaty over the years. It's twenty years old or something like that. It's probably more than that now five

years old. But I still wear it all the time. It's my it's my workman Dodger hack, my good luck Dodger hack that I wear. And I'll wear that when they beat the Cardinals in the wild card game. They are white hot, man. I don't know when the hell they're gonna lose any games of significance, but maybe it's next week. We'll see. Well, maybe they've already lost. You never know that, guest Gun on the magic of podcasting, they might have already lost. And I say, games of significance,

you're listening. Skills suck, I say, guess on. The Cardinals have peaked too soon. That fail. They're getting all these wings in right now, and there will be heartache at the wild Card game, which I believe I will be in the tenants at, guest Gun, I believe I have been given the green light on that and will be

in the house in the hissy at. Chavez would be making my triumphant return to Dodger Stadium coming out of hiding to my first NFL game last week and since COVID, since COVID, and now I will make my way to Dodger Stadium here shortly. But the medicine man Mallard, let's get into it. Medicine man mouth. So I have I don't know how this happened. I've developed a little side hustle. I have my own cottage industry going on here. Now.

We we we already mentioned on the Friday podcast with the great T. J. Reeves, the fact that I had a role in saving the Buccaneer radio broadcast. I was making my way up to the press box where the Buccaneer booth was. I stumbled on Gene decker Off, the iconic voice of Florida's state. There's certain people that are in radio that just have the voice of God, and Gene Deckerhoff is one of those guys. And I I've never met Gene decker Off. Until then, I had never met him.

I didn't know what he looks like. I just happened to be in the elevator and he was in front of me, this old guy. And I, once I heard him talk to the operator the elevator, I said, wait a minute, I put two and two together, right os. This is this is Gene decker Off. This is the play by play guy for the Buccaneers. And uh, So I actually did something that's very out of characters, I said when I told the story. Originally, as an introvert, I do not engage in contact with people I don't know.

I don't do it. But this was different. This is Gene Deckerhoff, Gene f and decker Off. So I I introduced myself, and then I led him to the Bucks broadcast, both of course calling my friend T. J. Reeves to le him know that the eagle had landed or the in this case, the buccaneer had landed. So that's that's not really medicine, but out of the blue this week, guest Gun, this is a never before told story. I've

not told this on the radio. I have not even told you this off the off the air, off the podcast, off any of this stuff. So I get a text from a buddy of mine in Kansas City and says, hey, Ben, we got a little bit of an emergency here. I need your help. And I'm like, okay, what's going on? So the message is that one of the chiefs broadcasters, one of the Kansas City chiefs radio broadcasters, has come

down with laryngitis. This is early in the week, right, So I get this message and the guests is, I've listened to you a while. I know the the garlic therapy as you recommend. He needs something magical to get his voice back, otherwise he cannot do the game on Sunday against Philadelphia. Andy Reid trying to get that one win in Kansas City against his old team, the Eagles. Uh. And so if he can't get his voice back, he's not gonna be able to do the broadcast, obviously with laryngitis.

So my my buddy says, can you please give me the patented Mallard garlic therapy. And I immediately what I did is I pivoted stop what I was doing, guest gun, and I activated malartron, not voltron, malartron, and immediately sent what I do the point by point on what I do when I get a little bug in my throat, a little aryngitis. And we will not know until Sunday tomorrow whether or not this worked, if my trick worked, if even you know fully used it. But remember, garlic

is nature's antibiotic. It's the original antibiotic. It's old world. And this all started from an old DJ who passed this on to me, give it back, pass it on to the next generation. And and so we'll see if it works or not for this guy. But I gotta tell you, guest, I felt pretty proud to if this work two weeks in a row, both the teams in the Super Bowl from this past year, I will have had a role in saving their radio broadcast medicine man Mallard.

So what happens If it doesn't work, then we'll just pretend this didn't happen. It's only on the podcast. Nobody's listening. No, no, it's it's gonna work. I am very confident it will it will work. And for the I know what happens when I bring this up, I get a million people who are going to say, well, what is it? Let me know, GIMMU the details. We'll listen. I've given it out before. You should never take medical advice in any way from someone on the radio or the podcast. You

should always consult with a professional. But if you would like to know how I do it, I it's very simple. It's very simple. I take a clove of garlic, and a raw clove of garlic. I I sl obviously peel it, you slice it, and then you put one half on the right side of your mouth, one half on the left side of your mouth, and you suck on the juices like it's a hard candy, like a Jolly Roger and uh. And you typically try to do this before bed and when I wake up, but you can do

it whenever. Now it's gonna burn your gums and you can only handle it for so long. That garlic is so pungent it's gonna burn your gums. And I do that before bed, and usually what happens. The theory is that the garlic juices go through your your throat and just knocked that infection. Fight it all night while you're sleeping, and then when you wake up, you give it another dose. Now, no one's gonna want to be around you. If you have a significant net gather, You're not gonna want to

tongue kiss them because it's disgusting. Your your breath will be horrible. You you'll keep vampires away. But it has worked. I have not had to miss an assignment because of laryngitis. Uh. You know, if I've done this early on, once I start feeling a bugging my throat, it's worked every time. Now. Sometimes if you wait a little too long, there's an issue,

so you gotta get it early. But you get it early, I've never had a problem with I'm you know what I'm gonna do is tomorrow, when can't say does plays, I'm gonna save some audio, especially on big plays, and I'll see if there's a noticeable difference, like there's a noticeable difference from you now then there was ten fifteen years ago on the radio when you're nasally pinched in fat voice was was prominent on the radio to now

where it's at. So um, I'm gonna keep receipts, man, I'm gonna see if this thing actually comes to fruition and if your recipe for success stays true, because you know, can't say needs all the health they can get on and off the field. Now, there are a couple of plays here and there from being undefeated. There it's the way the ball bounces. Come on, you know, the way the ball you know what, There are a couple of

players away from actually being winless too. If you didn't recognize what that in that week one game against Kansas City. I know, typically you don't look at the entire game for the first four quarters, but against Kansas City, they played they played themselves. Was Cleveland browns Cleveland Brown, Kansas City. That's what you said, you screwed it. Well, it's the first time you've listened to anything I said last two three weeks. Congratulations, But yes they are. You know they're

looking up the Denver Broncos. So if someone had given me ten thousand dollars and said, Hey, put money on a team in the a f C U West. I might be more inclined to put money on the Vegas Raiders or the Denver Broncos. But you're hearing my promos there. I have no idea what you're talking about. Yeah, as I, as I pointed out this week on the promo thing,

you compare a Mallard promo and a Cowherd promo. Right Colin, He's out there hob nobbing with stand cronky at a till party in l A. And I am doing hypothetical bets hanging out with hot dog vendors. That's the difference right there. That is the difference when when I go out to a game, I'm looking to meet fans of the show. I'm not looking to hang out with the aristocrats. I don't know that world. I'm not in that world. I don't live west of the four oh five. I'm

not sure how Maybe you shouldn't elevate your game. Maybe you should up the anty on what you want in life? How about that? I don't want that. I don't I'm not interested in that. I've met rich people, have hung out with rich people before. They're nothing spectacular. They're they're rich. They're rich. It doesn't make them any better, Sure it does. It makes them better in the in the in the pocketbook, it makes them better in the wall. It makes them

better at what they invest in. Yeah. But the great thing is when they're dead. It's the reset button gets hit and oh boy, it's all over. You can't It's not like we're back in in the ancient times where you can build a big comb. Just go with you. You die. That's it. It's everything goes back. And so I don't care how big you know, how eyebrow pomp is, swarmy a hole you are, and how rich you are. It's audios, bye bye, uh all of that. Lucky for us,

this audio will live in infamy. Naa, naa, hey, good bye, as they say, back home, Audios muchachos to the money, so via Kondios. Well the Power of the Podcast guest on the Power of the Podcast. So we had complaints last week? Why well, I remember the thanks for you weren't listening quick on the uptake there, guests, and we remember I complained about it had an issue with the dishwasher. At the dishwasher blues, I think you meant. I think

you meant like complaints about the podcast. Oh yeah, people Chris called up and complaints that the audio qualities terrible. Essentially implied that you sabotage as the podcast when I talked to make you sound better. That that's your bag of tricks, according to Chris and Houston. Anyway, So just real quick, so I ranted and raved. I named names on the dishwasher. Got a new dishwasher to the Mallard mansion that I just moved into a few months ago,

and it had a massive dent in the roof. But because the contractor could not put it in right away, we did not examine the top of the dishwasher until a week to ten days after we got the dishwasher. Everyone went into see y a mode, cover your ass mode. That was the philosophy, and I named names. I named

home depot. There they blamed the delivery company. The delivery company said it was Gees fault, and I went on like a screaming fire breathing dragon and talked about how horrible the customer service was and how everyone was blaming everyone else, and well we now have an update guest on and a happy ending received an email from General Electric, a fine company, by the way, and I retract all of the negative things I said about g Also Home Deeper believe they had a role in that. Screw the

delivery company because their assholes. But General, General Electric and Home DEEPO. Good job by them. They did solid and they reviewed. They claimed they reviewed my case. I'm sure this podcast had nothing to do with it. Wink wink, not nod, but they announced they had had a change

of heart the power of the podcast. I am going with this, and it turns out in a few days here we will exchange the damaged, broken, mangled dishwasher with a giant dent on the top of it for the same model number, but one without a dent, brand new. Should be done in seven to ten business days. So that's that's the good news. Thank you to GE. That's

that's what a good company does. I hope that you just did it on your own without the podcast, but you should do it for everybody, not just goroofballs like me. But good job by you. That's a very expensive item and a lot of money for it shows up with the dent. You gotta do the good thing there, do a good mitzvah and they did, so I stand corrected on General Electric and I will go buy some GE stock right when the stock market opens up on Monday. That's what I'm gonna do. A lot of hoops, a

lot of hoops. You jump through. But the story has a happy ending. That's that's congratulations. I mean, that's that's that's a lot of money that obviously you're saving. And the headache, the disappointment, and uh yeah, I mean it's it's about damn time that they actually come back and make good with what they did not do red for you. Yeah, I needed so I thank that for that. I know

you're very concerned about my dishwasher. We're at the point now we we also have gotten finally, after all the time, the refrigerator, the main refrigerator, and the stove the oven has arrived. So we are that those installed in a few days also, and so that means I will no longer have to go to every fast food joint in in town. I can actually eat home cooked meals against something you really miss, the home cooked meal when you don't have one for six months. It's just terrible. It's terrible.

I don't mind eating now, but i'd rather eat at home, and before before I always wanted to eat out. But uh, you know, in recent years I've mostly eaten at home and only gone out once a once a week or once every two weeks. But lately I've had no no chance other than just to eat out all the time. It sucks. So yeah, I mean I would, I would imagine it certainly does. But that also means that that also means that now that things are done, I bet you you take that tomahawk out of your freezer and

cook it up. The tomahawk is a conversation piece. It's like a it's like a monet or a van Go. It's dead, it is, I know. But of course it was dead when you sent it. If it was alive, that would have been a problem. No hopes and the hopes and dreams that it was going to be consumed is dead. Deal way, I don't know about that. You know, you say that like it's a fatal complete that there's no there's no change on that there is. I mean,

there's the trust values not high. I might throw it in a duffel bag, and you know, next time we're at a social event, might pull it out of the duffel bag and and crooked. Maybe you should keep it as a weapon just in case something happens. Yeah, well, yeah, I do live in a very tough part of town

on the wrong side of the tracks. Where I live here is you know, it's basically on Earth, and so I could have it as a defense system and I could take down enemy combatants with that wonderful Tomahawks steak, which I'm sure we'll be delicious. Sure it'll be wonderful. And uh, well, why this is so uncomfortable when you were a person Again, it gives a gift. And once you give the gift, you've said it free. It's it's no longer yours to worry about. And yet you continue

to be very dramatic with these historyonics about about a gift. Well, because you don't understand that there's an investment involved. There's an investment in time and energy and thoughtfulness and money

and all those things rolled into one. Like you you don't buy You've never bought your wife a gift and thought like, oh, let me just pluck something out of Amazon, like you put time into it, you put your back into it, you put your thought, her feelings into it, and you think like I'm gonna get this for her because I know she would enjoy it. So there's like that energy you put into it. So you're comparing me to your wife. We have a married my wife. I mean, wow,

that's at that little but it was. It was sent to you two years ago for your birthday. Okay, So it's it's like a fine wine. And you have this nefarious intent, right, you're proving you were again a rogue actor here and sworn enemy of the Malla militia that you a gift and then demand constant prison. If I had eaten that steak, this thing would have been forgotten about right away, if I had eaten it the day it arrived at the Mallard mansion, and we wouldn't be

talking about it. So you should actually thank me. You should you should bow down at the altar here that what I have done is kept that gift alive for two years. Who the hell talks about a gift. It's not like you bought me a car or you know you you gave me a ten thousand dollar watch. You didn't, Yeah, but I didn't. I didn't buy you. I didn't buy you a bottle of wine. And I didn't buy you a baseball card that you know praises in value year after year. Either this is a depreciating asset. This is

the worst than buying a bode. No, no, not at all. It depreciates once you cook it. But until you cook it, it is in a time warp. It is in a it is in a state where it is not aging. It is staying the same. And as soon as I defrost that thing, and probably take a couple of months to defrosted, it's still frozen. But once I d frost that, man, is that gonna be good. It'll be wonderful and maybe I'll have have you over and you can eat it.

I'll have you about that. Hey, have you ever have you gone to a nice place and h and made a fuss about any kind of experience. I don't complain because I know what happens when you complain and I fit in your food, and it's it's just better. What I'll do is I'll just do the Aaron Rodgers passive aggressive thing where I'll I'll make snide comments and snicker

and complain to my wife. That's what I'll do. But I will not return something at a rest to front, for example, because I know what happens in the kitchen, and you don't want to eat the stuff that they put on your food. Even and even though they said, well, we don't do that, No, they do do that. They do. I I you see, I had asked because I did it, but I did it in a non aggressive manner. I went with some some buddies to a steakhouse on Saturday, and the experiences was not great for the amount of

money we spent. But I waited until Monday to actually send in a complaint. So I was kind of curious if he thought like something like that is okay or acceptable, because the server was okay, but he put us in an area where there's a lot of traffic, and so the guys I was with like we were getting bumped

into on several occasions. Bill On top of that, the dude never came around to check and see how our meal was, how our everything was until at the end of the dinner when we gave him obviously the tab and the tip. Yeah, And so I was I thought to myself, well, what the hell I like, First of all, my steak wasn't great. It was charred on the outside, like medium or rare on the inside. It wasn't good. We got charge for bread which we didn't ask for. Oh you can't charge for bread. That's and see, I

would never go to that restaurant again. I have a strong belief that restaurants must include the bread built into the cost, just like when I go to Italian restaurants, and steakhouses should give you a roll a dinner roll with with the meal. And Mexican restaurants have to include chips and salsa, and it's built into the cost of the food. And if you don't do that, if you charge extra, fuck you, I'm not going to your restaurant.

How about that? Right? I agree? I agree? So I made a big stink about it, and the manager called me back on Wednesday and said, hey, next time you come in, round of drinks for your friends and some dessert. I thought, Man, we spent over six hundred dollars on food and drink. You mus spent six How many people were at the meal, Uh, four guys. So we got two bottles of wine. Buddy buddy got lamb I got steak, another buddy got steak, and then the third guy got anoki,

and then we had a bunch of sides. Six d dollars on a what a random meal on a Sunday? Was this or a Saturday? No? It was Saturday. No, because because Chris, I'll let the cat out of the bag. But Chris Broussard had lost a bet to me, and the bet was Dallas was not going to make the playoffs last season. So he he paid up. He gave me a hundred fifty dollar gifts certificate to Mastrosh. So your names Gascon, and we'd like to alert all the

listeners on the podcast Guesscon is now naming names. So but you know, I go to that one in Beverly Hills or the one in Newport Beach whenever, like there's something good going on. And so the we were on the penthouse level, but where we were sitting sitting at we were in between the sliders where the doors open and closed to the penthouse balcony. So the servers and the bus boys were hitting like me and the other guy on several occasions. And then on top of that,

I was just like, man, my buddy ordered one. I didn't know why, but were you in Beverly Hills? Was just the Beverly Hills location? Which one? Yeah, yeah, those in Beverly Hills. Yeah, all right, hold on, sa let me look up the menu Beverly Hills Steakhouse Mastros. Yeah. But let let me let me tell you though. We went to a place called the called Wallis. After that it's like a it's like a winery slash bar. World was Chevy Chase there, No, but there was plenty of

women with pulled faces. If you get what I'm saying. It's Beverly Hills, man, that's how that town roll. A lot of work done. Dude, if you put if you brought a heat lamp in there, you would have melted away several hundred women in there. I'm looking at the dinner menu. Yeah, and see an appetizer. They have steak sheshimi for twenty eight dollars. Yeah, we got no appetizers. You did not get an appetizer, but you need actually

got red. They charged you for bread, so Texas five bucks for bread, and then a buddy got lamb big guy tuna tartar. Didn't do that. You didn't do that. Let's see you get SnO, you got NOOKI I'm looking at the an eight ouns steak for sixty That's where i got yeah, eights New York Strip stake sixteen ounces sixty nine dollars. Bone in Kansas City Strip eighteen ounces steak seventy dollars, and you got the eight ounces? Why did you get the only of the eight ounces? Why

don't you go big? This is a big night. You could have got a porter House two dollars. Yeah, my buddy got the Porterhouse. He said it was actually really good. Yeah, so screwed its bed job. But you got the which one? Did you get? The Wagu? Is that the one you got? I just gotta regular, I just gotta regular filet Oh my god? Did you see how much that is? The Wagu Tomahawk chop Snake River Farms? What the hell is

that is? That's supposed to be impressive? The Snake River Farms is actually the company that sent you the Tomahawks steak? You dildo? Yeah, I'm gonna be surprised when I play like Kobe beef it Tajima cattle is that? I don't know what that is? That is? It says minimum four ounds per order and it's two hundred and forty dollars? What is that? From a god's cattle? I mean, what what is that. I don't know. Man, that's wild, it's insane. Hold on a sick I'm looking at the side dishes.

Garlic mashed potatoes for fifteen dollars with the labster, the lobster mash, it was pretty good. You're lobster mash for forty dollars thirty nine dollars with lobster mash, mac and cheese. That's I'm sorry. Mean, I can't pay fifteen dollars for mashed potatoes because I know I've made mashed potatoes before and there's not fifteen dollars of work and this those are holy potatoes dollars. What the hell is going on a baked potato? Fourteen dollars for a baked potato? That's crazy?

What do you do? This is? I wouldn't I would walk out if I looked at those prices. I would not eat at a place like this. What is up with that? Yeah, it's a little disappointing. I'll tell you what you would have liked though. You're not a big dessert guy, though, are you? I like only a few desserts. But I don't see this's on the menu there there should be a butter cake. The uh there's butter cake

that they serve that they're just known for. It's butter cake served with a giant scoop of ice cream, vanilla ice cream and fruit on the side. It's really good. Um, that was probably the highlight of that dinner experience. I'm not gonna lie. The bread is actually phenomenal. But well, here's another strike against Maestro's. It says proper attire is required.

There's a dress code. Yeah, upscale dress code says here we do not allow beach wear, gim attire including sweatpants, sweatshirts or hoodies, athletic apparel, jerseys, hats, beanies, bandanas, ball caps, oversized or baggy clothing, tank tops, and sleeve The shirts are prohibited. So you can't wear ad in there. I can't wear a nice uh nice dress up hat. I'm not allowed to wear you know, you could probably you could, probably you could probably wear that. That means like more

of like a ball cap. Okay, no excessively revealing clothing will be What if a woman wants to show off for derri air, she can't do that. What's wrong with that? S Beeverly Hills. They spent a lot of my own boobs in Beverly Hills. They can't show that off now they show it off. So yeah, I guess going back to my original statement or a question, is it bad Is it bad form for me to actually call and file a complaint? No, because they're not gonna spit in

your food. Now. I will warn you the next time you go in, if you bring this up to the manager, they will know that you are the complaining party and then you are in stranger danger of getting a big fat loogie in your potatoes. What he did, he did call me and tell me to take down his numbers. So he said, the next time you come in, call me before you come in, and I'll set something up

for you. Wink wink not not. I don't know if it's like at that point and Good Fellows where Joe Pesci gets made and gets got in the back of the head. But all right, last thing, real quick. So we have storage Wars, Storage Wars, and Big Life accomplishment. Since we last did the podcast, I was able to close one of the three three storage units that I

have been renting since I believe back in April. Actually this one we got right after my pops passed away in February, we we got this unit and so we put a bunch of stuff in there since February and over the weekend. I spent all day on Saturday unloading a bunch of random stuff that we still have to go through brick by brick, inch by inch, and made approximately fifteen trips from the storage unit back to the Mallard mansion, you know, putting stuff up, picking stuff up,

moving it and all that stuff. Uh. And with the help of my friend and uh, we finished it off by renting one of those home Depot seventy five minute box truck rentals that you see for thirty bucks that and it was great. There was a few things I couldn't move. They wouldn't fit in the car. The beds. There were a couple of beds and a sofa, big sofa that we couldn't fit in the car. So I liked the seventy five minute rental because it's like a

NASCAR race. It's a mad dash. You're like speed racer trying to get it done before the time runs out, and they charge you a hell of a lot more for the rental. I had said, I will stop watching my my watch that where I have stopped watching, and so I set the timer and I'm like, okay, how much time you know? We I wanted to make one trip the bit the sofa was so big we had to do two trips and it was it was a painting behind. I went with a wife on that one.

And I still have two more storage units left to unload, but this should be done by some time in but at least one of them is out of the way, so I'm happy about. Yes, baby steps, baby steps. Anything else to can to promote here, guest, we gotta put the baby to bed on a Saturday podcast, anything at all? Anything?

I think the one thing I forgot to mention or like I didn't say it perfectly to open up, I wear a size large, so if we get any kind of mac attire, I'm a size large Ben Millier, I'm a size eight on the hat, size eight and the hat and two x tall. Though I need to talk because I'm lengthy on the build there, so that's that would be good. Anyway, Let's have a great rest of your They don't send us anything unless you want to have a great DAT day and we'll catch you on Sunday. Aloha
