Booms. If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred 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. Wow. The clearing House of Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere back at the Audio Dojo for a spicy, hot Carolina Reaper edition of The Fifth Hour with Ben

Maller and Danny ge Radio. We are in the air everywhere. Indeed, the magic of podcasting in unlike radio, which booms out to the heavens. The podcast is available anywhere, anytime you want. Everywhere you get your podcast, you can hear this and we are on demand everywhere on the iHeartRadio app wherever you get your podcast, and Danny A Saturday Extravaganza is on tap. We are ready to kick it off right now. Yeah,

let's do this. And Ben, I just want to address the rumors that I earned over two hundred and fifty dollars yesterday from selling some of my Gmail votes, and that is incorrect. It was only two hundred and forty nine dollars. Yeah, well, Alf, the alien of Pinter short changed you a dollar. And it's a bad job by Alf. Shame on you, Shame on you. Alf. Come on, do better next time. Alf. So on this podcast, we've got double Mint, that's normal, hanging with Monet what you're doing,

and Pop goes to culture. That's a lot of content for a lazy Saturday podcast. I would say that's way too much content. Discretion is advised. I mean, it's unbelievable how we squeeze all that in day. We might have to time shift half of this to Sunday for ratings purposes. Only. For ratings purposes only, we'll be spinning our wheels, is what we'll be doing. Speaking of that, we will now move forward in the broadcast. And we had a very very very very busy start to last week on the

terrestrial radio show. If you were listening, you heard the magic in the old Fox Sports Radio studio. We have not moved to the new studio. I'm a skeptic on that. And the main old studio always hectic, you know, and you know when you start back at work after a couple of days off during the overnight show, we have a day and a half off. We work on Friday and then we're off the rest of Friday, but we

sleep most of Friday. We're off on Saturday, but then Sunday's workday, so it's really like a day and a half off. It's not two full days. It's a day and half. So it's it's a blessing and a curse because you're off Friday night and Saturday night, but you gotta work Sunday, and so it's hold it. So coming back from the weekend, it's kind of hectic and all that getting back up to speed. And this night was different than all other nights because we had a Greyhound

bus terminal. It was a beehive on the show. It reminded me of that old commercial from the back of the Day, double mint Gum, double your Pleasure, double your Fun. First, we had planned a excursion with Mason, the Millennial, the legendary Mason. You met Mason at the mallord b good young guy works for Tesla and he wanted to stop by. He had emailed me, he had reached out, and you know, I'm doing the show. It's hybrid. Some of the time,

I'm in the main studio. A lot of the times I'm in the in the mobile Mallar studio, the home studio and so. But if if you're going to be in town and you want to hang out out, I can certainly adjust my schedule. And so Mason was like, Hey, I'm gonna be there, like to stop buying, and I was like, okay, cool, and so he reached out. He was going to a concert in the hood in Inglewood and he lives in the Bay Area. A good guy,

big fantasy show. So I'm going to the studio to hay because Mason's gonna show up near the end of the show. And I was excited to see him and meet him again and all this stuff. But I got a I got a message right before the show started saying, Hey, are you in studio? And I was like, yah, yeah, I'm in studio. And it was from Jay Scoop, the legendary Jay Scoop. Oh was he visiting from Tea Town? Yeah, he was in town and the gladiator known as Jay Scoop, and he said he was passing through La. He was

in town to record some stuff. As he continues the musical career, and he wanted to stop buying say hello, and I was like, of course, the man almost died in December. Of course I'm gonna let Jay Scoop come hang out. So it was really cool to hang out with him. And Jay Scoop's been such a great part

of the show and helped us out. He put together that Seattle meet and greet back in twenty nineteen, right before COVID a debonair a debonair member of the Malabusha, Jay Scoop, So I hung out with him for the first about the first maybe of the second hour, and then he got out of there. And then the very approachable, very friendly Mason the Millennial Show. So that was cool. And Mason's a bit of a social butterfly like I'm not,

but you know, Mason's a people person. Now, did Mason find our friend Helmet Man outside of the concert in Inglewood? He did not report back to me that he did see Helmet Man. But I promise you Helmet Man is at every event at the Daanium in Inglewood, is outside well dressed, well groomed, as always right as the greatest set up in the world. There, I fell asleep and

speaking a debonair. You can't get more charismatic than than that guy, right, I mean my and he's completely oblivious to the fact that he called the show pretty much every week for like five six years. I'm actually on the live air. And then he moved and completely forgot about the show, just completely moved on to something else. So I guess you could say that's normal for him, right, Danny, you could say that's normal for helmet man, but not for most other people. Yeah, he is a special member

of the militia. Yeah, he's got a simpatico delivery he does. That's a good word, sympotico. I like that word. Somebody owes you five dollars. I don't use that word very much. Sympotico. It's good. It's a pleasant guy, is a pleasant guy. We like people like that. We don't. We'd rather hang out with people that are that are friendly and who wouldn't some douchebag who wants that. Did any of your guests bring you some fat sALS? No? And that did

piss me off. As you know, Danny, we had the rule, if you're gonna visit, the price of admission you got to buy us off with food. Yes, that's been a long time entry fee. Yeah. The problem is this a we're all on these fughasy diets, right so we do this in a minute fast Even Eddie's on this nonsense.

And I love fat sALS. It's very tough to recreate it if you if you don't eat it right away, like any food, if you don't eat it right away fat Seals, that fat Texas barbecue and you try to reheat it, it is not an enjoyable meal, you know what I'm saying. It's I mean, you can put it in the oven and it'll be okay, but it's not. It doesn't have the same razmatazz as if you have it right away. Not to belabor the point, but I think I've made it. It's kind of like eating any

any fast food. I've got to eat it within You got about a twenty five thirty minute window to eat fast food. If you don't eat it right away, you're done. It sucks, it blows, it's terrible garbage, garbage. Well, then just smaller orders, like you guys could split a Fat Seals sandwich. Oh but if I'm doing inter minute fasting, I can't even eat anything. I can just drink water. That's the problem. Don't shake your head at me. Not

dare you? How dare you shake at my Michigassi? Here was great, great fat seals history on the show, and you guys are just shameful right now. Well you were there for the cakes also though. That was unreal. God that now that was overboard. We were getting designer cakes for like every other week. At one point, even job of the Hut would have been like, Okay, that's too much, dude. It was insane. It was absolutely nuts. And these were like designer luxury cakes like these were like thousand dollars

cakes that we were getting every week. We remember the chuck the Condor one. We had a camel. I remember we talked about Adrian Peterson had a camel at his birthday party, and so I was like, I want a camel and we had a camel cake. I still have your camel drop, I want a camel. That was crazy, man. That also cake pops pizza almost every week, lots of pizza bets and lots of listeners would send pizza in for whatever celebration happened to be going on that week

for the show. I don't think I've ever eaten that much Domino's pizza in my life. Yeah, we knew every nuance from the Domino's pizza menu, and the Domino's delivery guy was on a first name basis. We'd let the guy come in, he'd hang out with us, you know, he'd have the pizzas. We'd let him kind of chill out in the studio, and it was like we were like buddies, we're hanging out. Why not? What the hell er? Exactly? So turning the page on that Dan He turning the

page and that was normal back then. But is that normal now? Right? You know? And it's funny because this kind of ties into your buddy Jay Scoop, who you were just talking about. He moved to northern California, right, Yes, yes, he's back in Colin Kaepernick's old stomping ground. That's right. And that's also where my mom stays, and I drove up this past weekend to visit her. Now, I also wanted to be halfway between my family who live in the Bay Area, so I found the night Aist hotel

in Stockton, California. And Stockton is known as a nice vacation city. It's underrated. You look at all the travel websites. That's some of the finest hotels in the world. They do the surveys every year. Yeah yeah, And of course this didn't happen until the famous mayor Michael Tubbs took over and cleaned up the city. I'm talking about the seventy ninth mayor of Stockton, California, who was featured on

HBO and other big channels across the country. Because of mister Tubbs, there are now the four Seasons there, there is a Grand High, there's a ritz I believe. Yeah, I didn't know which fancy hotel to choose from in Stockton. Yeah, but I've been to a minor league hockey game in Stockton at their sports arena, really pretty arena right on the harbor. There's a hotel adjacent. Teams stay at the hotel. It's about it's about twenty stories high, really nice looking hotel. Yeah.

So I found a good rate. Even though my Tenderni is really picky when it comes to hotels, I thought to myself, well, she's gonna really love this place. Get to Stockton, And as soon as we drive into the city, the first thing you see at the first stoplight that we're at is a building that's boarded up, always a good indicator that you're in a good part of town. Yeah, and it looked like this used to be an amazing restaurant, but now it had wood covering all of its windows.

She looked at me and she said, this place looks abandoned. That is kind of hate. Well, it's just the ambiance of the town. It's it's it's you know, it's an old rustic It's a rustic look, is what it is now. Mind you. Stockton as a special place in my heart. This was the first radio market where I had my first professional radio gig. First time I ever got a paycheck for blabbing and talking on the microphone was in Stockton, California.

Did a live broadcast there one time in front of the black Angus and it's the Chevy Impaula came scooting by, and the guys inside the impaula showed me a gun. Well, much like John Morant down the line, you know, you just want to sometimes you want to share. It's like it's like an elementary school, right, you bring things in to share with the class. Yeah, I felt like because I was holding a microphone and the dude in the car.

He was showing me what he was holding. Yeah, so I felt like it was like a sign of respect, Like he was like, yeah, you're holding the steel, I'm holding the steel. Yeah. Come on, we're all friends here. Look at this. It's like the Old West. It's like a saloon in the Old West. So I have this

connection with Stockton since I was a kid. You know, I spent half my life in La the other half up in the Bay in the Stockton area, and so I you know, this was the first time, by the way, that I got to take my TINDERRONI to that area. She's gonna meet my mom the next day. We're gonna have breakfast. So I'm thinking, well, what are we going to do tonight in the Stockton area. But first I gotta get checked into the hotel. So now we see this boarded up restaurant. She tells me this looks abandoned.

I told her, no, no, no, that's normal. We go down the main drag and right in front of city Hall, I need to take a left to get to the waterfront for the hotel. As we are passing City Hall, there is a dude ben in broad daylight who is watering the city's lawn. I know they've got a lot of rain, but the drought you've got you gotta help out man, organic water, come on God's water. Now. Thank god.

He had his back turned to us, but we could see the spray, yeah, onto the grass, and my girl said, oh my god, it is that guy doing what I think he's doing. And I was like, just look straight ahead,

we're going to the waterfront. So now, in fairness, have you let your wife know that at the Fox Sports Radio studios on multiple occasions, there have been homeless people that have gotten up on the what do you call that, the planter in front of Fox Sports Radio, Yeah, and not realizing that the glass there's actually people behind it. The windows they have taken care of their bids right on the right there. Yeah, exactly what it looked like, but from a different vantage point in a car. Yeah.

Now we get to the waterfront and I'm like, this is nice. I see the nice arena, I see the nice hotel. But there are two guys they must have been the guards working for the hotel, both of them standing outside of the hotel holding forties in brown paper bags. Oh okay yeah, and I'm like, wow, they left their security guards drink on the job. It's pretty cool. Listen, it's it's part of the uniform, right, yeah. Yeah. Were

they smoking anything? Also, they have any Yeah. At this point, we just wanted to get in and get our bags to the room. So we go inside. My girl has to use the bathroom, and we both look at something that I don't normally see at any hotel. You know how there's usually a concierge desk. Yeah, yeah, sure. At this hotel, they turned the concierge area into a security station. Oh. Of course, this reminds me of the hotel I stay I was checked in at in Phoenix and we left.

That's what this reminds me of. In really big letters across the desk and said security, and I was just shaking my head, like, oh man, well, at least they have security. Um, did you see anyone walking out with a wife beater on and any of that? No? No, But as I was bringing our bags up to the room on the second floor, there was a dude in the elevator smoking a blunt smoke. Okay, there you go, come on, like, okay, a lot of places in California

don't allow you to smoke. So it's a smoke friendly hotel. Okay, perfect. Now I'm really hungry, and I tell my girl. I'm like, I'm gonna go find us a snack. You stay here at the hotel, take a shower, relax. I'm gonna go get us something to eat. Yeah. I am driving down March Lane and right next to me, Ben, there was a drag race going on. These two dudes aren't going for it. Drag race seen each other. It was fast

and the Furious twelve. It was awesome, all right. So I got a free show on my way to the Togo sandwich shop and this jive turkey comes up to me and he says, man, I like your Dodger's hat, but you're in the Bay Area. You need to pay a giant's fee. Get away from me. San Francisco's that way. You need to go get a fee out of your giant's owner. You guys suck. Yeah, And then he pushed you right between the eyes right there. You know, he didn't know I don't look like the friendliest dude, so

he left me alone. I mean, Biga, let alone. I got you, all right, So I get back to the fancy hotel. I told my girl I said, okay, you got three options. A minor league basketball game happening at the Arena tonight, there's a Sacramento Kings game a half hour up the road, or we can go towards my mom's town and see a movie. She said, well, well, which direction is the least violent? You say, none of the above. So we went to the cowtown and I took her to see Cocaine Bear Bunch of Hookers on Cocaine.

It was actually better than we expected. It was a pretty good movie. It's a nice little town called Mantica. All was well, all was right in the world. Everything turned out okay. But when we got out of there, I told my girl, I was like, well, look at I didn't realize there was that shaine of hotel here. The next time we come back, we'll stay there. And she said, no, no, no, no, next time, have your mom come down here and I'll pay for Disneyland for her.

Oh that's great. Oh man, do they still have they used to have a mir League team? He called the ports that still yeah, they still there. There's the Stockton Ports and the Modesto Nuts. I remember the stock In Ports back back in the day. So was it awkward. Your mom had not met you're married, You've got a a spawn on the way, and your mom had not approved of this. Is this was this awkward for you? No, it was not awkward. My mom is a fan of

my life right now. She just had never met her in person yet, and we wanted her to go to the wedding really bad, but she could not take the long flight to Hawaii, so that's why we had to drive to her. And before my girl gets too big with the pregnancy, I was like, we better make our way up north. That's a smart move. Sure, yeah, yeah, now where you know? You weren't nervous at all, because when I introduced my now wife to my mom, I

was like, I like threw up. I was so nervous, Like I needed my mom's I needed my mom's approval. But you're at the point where you've already gone down the road, so it's like, you know, you're it's a little different. I was just dating at the time, so for me, it was like a deal, and I think it would have been more nerve wracking if it was just somebody I was dating. My mom is very religious, always has been. To her. If you're just dating someone

or living with them. You're living in sin So I'm on the up and up right now because I actually got hitched. You're you're you're legal. Everything's good. You know, your Bible approved Jesus hanging with money. So you were driving, you drove to to your old stopping grounds to see family. Well, my wife she wanted to get out of town. We get this new malamobile and she wanted to go on a road trip. Oh, tell her about Stockton. Yeah, I'll recommend that. You know, my wife loves thaying at hotels

like that, as your wife does. She's like, we need to go somewhere. We need to go to Vegas, bas Vegas, Baby Vegas. And then I was like okay, And then she wanted me to see if I, you know, I know some people in Vegas. I might be able to get a deal on a hotel. So I reached out to one of the guys that I dealt with in the past to you know, could hook you up. And I send a nice email, said, hey, I'm gonna be in town, you know whatever. Didn't even bother right back.

The guy didn't right back. I haven't talked to him since COVID, so maybe he's upset with me. So that was that was that total. The guy didn't get back to me. So then I say, well, we didn't want to go to Vegas because it's expensive and whatever, so we made a run for the border. We decided to stop in San Diego for the little one day sojourn to my old stomping grounds with San Diego. And every time we go to San Diego, I always point out that's the building I started in radio right over there.

Well that's all right. Next year, off at sea World Drive, five South SeaWorld Drive. You make a right and a left and it's this building that's right across from the California Highway Patrol station, which we were always pissed about because we worked there. We couldn't beat out of the lot because literally right across the street were HP. So it was. But anyway, we went to San Diego and we stopped at Old Town. You've been there, right, you go in San Diego. That's a tourist trap. Oh yeah, yeah,

that's great, And so parking was a boondoggle. Had a nice authentic Mexican you know me at that restaurant there, and then headed to bout Ball Park. I had not been to ballpark, and I was a kid. I didn't go there when I worked there. I just go to pottery games or Charger games. I didn't go to bout balla park. But that's where all the museums are in San Diego. And it was a freak show. I mean they had every base cupboard, the Gods squad was out,

and then some you had one booth over here. There was a ten Aska Christian that was the first one, which is fine. Then it was Asking Atheist, then it was Aska Muslim and it was just like they all had their own They were all recruiting every even the non religions we recruiting. I did not see ask a Jew. I did not did not I could have helped. I could have put my own booth up. I'm a bad Jew, but I could have put that up. That was called Alexa. Yeah there you go, Oh dare you? But it's a

missed opportunity, a missed opportunity. But we we didn't have a lot of time. By the time we got to Balboa Park, it was kind of later in the day, and all these freaking museums closed early. Why on, somebody explained to me, why does a museum have to close at five o'clock. Why can't it be open to eight o'clock? Why five o'clock? Why not six o'clock, seven o'clock, maybe nine o'clock? Why why do they keep bankers hours at museums? Can you explain that to me? Danny, you're smarter than me.

Can you explain why museums have to close at five o'clock? Everybody knows Ben that when it gets dark outside, museums come alive. Oh, that's true. I did see that. That That was a good movie. Yea, Robins A couple of those movies, yea, if you why, I saw the first one. So we went to the SDMA, the San Diego Museum Art, and I was hanging with Monet, Claude Monet and someone I've goofed on many times. I said, it's like a Monee. It looks great from a distance and you get close,

you get closer and you're like, ooh. But they had Monet's, they had Picasso's, Salvador Dolli Batisse. And I don't think my wife appreciated some of my commentary, Danny, because I'm not a big art museum guy. That was more for her she's more to this than I am. But I was like, I'll be a good sport, I'll be a

team player. Why not? And so we we did our thing, and some of the paintings I would I told my wife, I said, I think if I went to like Michael's or Joanne's and bought some paint and gave it to my four year old nephew and told him on a blank canvas to paint, that he would do a very similar job to what I'm looking at in the art museum that is a million dollars masterpiece. And I don't think she appreciated that. And anyway, that was it was fun. We went to the gas gas lamp district in San Diego.

That was also crazy, and there were long waits to eat and I didn't see Poppy or anyone I know. But the art thing, it reminds me of that great quote anything and everything can be art. It's true, anything can be art. I could I could say right now this podcast is art. It's art. If you say it's art, it's art. Yeah. And a lot of it's just marketing. I've determined a lot of what makes art popular is just a certain percentage of rich people who think it's

like the intellectual crowd. I'm not an intellectual. I talk about sports. You just need a really good manager like suld Night. Oh yeah, what's what's he? What's he doing these days? Do we know what he's up to? Is he's listening to our podcast Behind Bars. He's on an extended vacation at the Great Bar Hotel. Is that right? Yeah? What ug? There? You go? All right, So that was my trip to to Sandy. Also, my favorite art quote is from Andy Warhol, who said an artist is somebody

who produces things that people don't need to have. That's about right. That's much like sports talk radio or podcasting. Wait a second, though, when I visited you for your Halloween party at the mallor Mansion, you had some art up on the walls. Well, that was not my doing, and I did dresses Bob Ross, the greatest painter of all right, all right, what you're doing? What you're doing?

Portion of the show. Now, we've asked people to send in comments on what they're doing, and our friend Jennifer from Richmond, Virginia writes in she says I am late to the what You're Doing party? She says, I love to listen to the fifth dollar Pods. When I am Jennifer says lifting weights about this wonder woman doing Aaron laying in the tanning bed, Hello, Giggy and cooking dinner. So she says, thanks all you guys do and we

thank you. Jennifer, that's kind of cool. You think she's got a tanning bed in her house or she goes to like a tanning bed somewhere out in the city, probably a tanning salon. Those things are expensive, aren't they have the tank? Yeah, those things are pricey. Plus they probably break all the time. Be a pain, a pain in the behind, for sure. We'll do a few. Pop goes the culture and stories and that means, ohio, all right, thank you, ah hi, we'll do a couple. Did you

see this story? You might guys might have talked about this on Caveno and Rich. There was a couple that sued is Snorkeling Company. Oh yeah, yeah. They allegedly were abandoned in the middle of the ocean. They almost drowned. Yeah, that is crazy the story. The New York Post had it the other day. And the water became turbulent and all that stuff, and that is have you you've been on these things, right, these snorkeling I was in Hawaii. Yeah, I've been on snorkeling boats twice now. And that's why

reading the story gave me anxiety. That water is pretty rough sometimes, and so when you fight your way back to the boat, you have a sigh of relief, like, oh, thank god, I'm back on the boat. It's fun while you're snorkeling, but it takes everything out of you to fight that choppy water. So imagine the boat leaving and you being stuck in that choppy water. How does that happen?

This happened in Hawaii. It happened near Maui. I've I was snorkeling near Kawaie, the the great coast there forgetting the name of it, but that beautiful coast in Hawaii, which is just wonderful. But yeah, they's having a Maui in September of twenty twenty one, Like, don't you do a headcount? Don't you say, all right, everyone, everyone that is in our foxhole is going to be in our foxhole.

When they blamed it on people moving around during the head count on the boat, they said that they couldn't get everyone to sit still okay, do the head count again? Then, yeah, you gotta make sure on that. Oh yeah, you talk about negligence. They're gonna win some money, right, Yeah, I don't know. Well, yeah, it's normally to win a lot of money, you gotta have permanent damage. Do they have permanent damage? Oh? I guess if they're scarred to ever

get back in the water. Maybe, Yeah, another pop goes the culture story. Study finds that making daylight saving time permanent, which is supposed to happen. I guess it's not official. We're supposed to change the clocks in April, and if everything goes right, that'll be the last time we change the clocks. I think, yeah, that's what I read too. Yeah. But this new study claims that by doing that. This

is from the journal Current Biology this week. They claim they predict that keeping year round daylight savings time will reduce the amount of time that rush hour traffic takes place during darkness, which makes sense. That would prevent thirty three deaths and two thousand injuries, and would save about one point two billion dollars in collision costs. Do you buy that? I think that's bullshit. I'm not a numbers guy. But that doesn't seem to add up. Yeah, one point

two billion. How do they know it's exactly thirty three people that will be saved? Why is it not thirty five people or forty people? Why is it only thirty three? Why you gotta be so skeptical. I'm just saying, man, I'm just I'm just put that out. Here's one right out of a horror movie. Football sized self cloning monster goldfish. Do you see this one taking over Canadian lakes by the thousands, by the thousands. How the hell did this happen? Well,

the fish. The fish rank third in both countries, behind dogs and cats as the most popular household pet. The goldfish, I guess, just fish in general, but people regularly will abandon their pets and in this case fish, and so these monster goldfish have been popping up because when the goldfish outgrows the tank, the owner dumps it in the pond or the lake and flushing them down the toilet, which I guess makes them stronger. Anyway, a CBC is reporting that these monster goldfish are the size of an

NFL football. Yeah. Yeah, Thousands of large invasive goldfish have multiplied in bodies of water around the province there in Canada and the goldfish. Wow, they can release fifty thousand eggs at one time. They do this three times a summer, so you can do the math on that. Who needs a koi pond? Like, check out my fat ass goldfish? Check this out. The female goldfish do not even need the male to reproduce. They can do it on their own. I'm a female goldfish, hear me, swim, I'm a woman,

hear me raw. Wow. Yeah, the females do not need us male goldfish. They have a special process that's got a funny typical name. But the female will get the sperm from different kinds of minnow and to start the egg developing. And what a ho h man? How about that? I guess like you matter so useless. We don't need you, male goldfish. Screw you, We'll do it our own. You lose it. Uh. And they went doing it on their own. Uh. There was one as one other one. I wanted to

get to um trying to trying to find it. There's a few things that that popped up here, all right, how about this one? These stories pop up every every so often and we all just kind of like, look at this and say, ah, that's uh, that's bull pucky. That's bullpucky. Uh. This is another one of these weight loss ones. It says edible flowers from West Africa maybe a natural weight loss supplement. I don't know these weight

loss things. You know how many these things I've read over the years, and they're all bullshit because people are still gaining weight and doing their thing. Here's another one. Cars could be powered by baking powder, while planes could run on fertilizer by the end of the decade, by twenty thirty. That sounds like a bunch of fertilizer. That's fertilizer, right. This comes out of the guy that is a chemistry

professor at the University of Oxford in England. He predicts that sodium will become the dominant battery type for cars, ammonia found and fertilizer could be used to power airlines. Yeah. You imagine being on a plane and you're like, we gotta go back. We need more fertilizers so we can fly. Yeah. I got one for you. A big band. What's that? If you grew up in southern California, or even if you just ever visited Southern California, you knew Cal Worthington

in his famous commercials. That's right, Worthington family sold their very last dealership, marking an end of an era. And of course it was go see cow, go see caw, go see caw. But as little kids, what did we think they were saying? It was something a little different, something a little let's see cow put the cow exactly. And you know the story I heard that that started as a gag that Cal Worthington did that to goof on a another car dealer, that he started paying it

to people that aren't familiar with this. So Cal Worthington was a local car dealership in LA in Long Beach, I believe, but they had a bunch of dealerships by the time they got going. And so Cal would show up in this oversized cowboy hat, Cal Worthington, and he'd have like a lion or a bear or a dog or whatever, like crazy exotic animals, and he would do the commercial like he'd just pretend like he wasn't scared for his life, and he'd have a brown bear right

next to him. Yeah, almost like the animal tamer that would bring different animals to the tonight show. Yeah, yeah, and they were so over the top. In fact, if you want to, if you want to check them out, a lot of those commercials are on YouTube. You can type in cal Worthington and they'll come up and you can check him out. It was it was crazy, but that isn't the end of an era. I mean that was a big part of television when everyone was watching

the same eight channels. Yeah, pretty crazy. There. We've outlived cal Worthington and his dog spot, right, and his dog spot. Yeah, and the joke was his dog spot might be a lion, it might be an alligator, it might be a bear. Come see my dogs. Right, Good times in the hood, good memories, doing nostalgia, nostalgia.
