Speaker 1: Kabooms.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: Wow.

8

Speaker 1: audio content every single day, never before heard audio content

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: on this the twenty seventh day now of the month

16
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: of January. And what's going on today is not a

17
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: good day for holidays, those goofy holidays. There there was

18
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: one holiday though, that caught my attention today on this Saturday.

19
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: It is Thomas Crapper Day. Danny, that's a that's a

20
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: wonderful story. I love the word crap and we can

21
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: thank Thomas Crapper for the word crap. What if the

22
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 1: guy that invented the modern toilet, well, I guess he wasn't.

23
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: He actually wasn't the guy that invented the toilet. He

24
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: perfected it. He didn't invent it, but he perfected it.

25
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: But he's the guy we know as the guy from

26
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: the toilet.

27
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 3: He finished off the dodoo pie.

28
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: He flushed it down, is what he did. Yeah, this

29
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: is the the death anniversary of this guy who was

30
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: a plumber in England and a businessman, Thomas Crapper, who

31
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: was not the guy that invented the toilet. Misconception that

32
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: is common. That's the Mandela effect that people believe. If

33
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: everyone believes that you invented something, you invented it. But

34
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: he promoted it, he fixed it up and all that.

35
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: And the original flush toilet it was okay, but Crapper

36
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: added he added a little more razmatazz to the toilet

37
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: and he saved water by adding in that ballcock.

38
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,119
Speaker 4: Danny, you know, I'm not sure you can say that

39
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 4: due to FCC regulations.

40
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: On podcast They don't give a crap about podcasts. See craps,

41
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: I said crap, Thomas Crapper, And anyways, design saved a

42
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: bunch of water and all that, and uh, it is

43
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: a day to celebrate Thomas crapper and the wonderful Crapper

44
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: day and that is this is wonderful, his name becoming

45
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: synonymous with shit, which is just just wonderful, just great.

46
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: And his device. I mean, he's been dead for a

47
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: long time, but that's still that's still the go to toilet,

48
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: although they have they've added to that with the spray spray,

49
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: the sprit sprits toilet. You know where they get the

50
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: water the duvet. Is that what they call it? I

51
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: think that's what they do. Is that what they call it? Yeah?

52
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, those things are scary.

53
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: Eh. My wife added him, and I gotta tell you,

54
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,839
Speaker 1: once you cross over to the dark side, Danny, once

55
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: you cross over the rubicon to the water and the toilet,

56
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: it's the way to go because you save money on

57
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: the toilet paper. You don't use much toilet paper. It's much.

58
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: I think it's much more hygienic. But if you had

59
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: told me fifteen years ago or ten years ago that

60
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: I would be at the age i'm at now using that,

61
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: I would say no way. But here we are. So

62
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: this our Saturday podcast, I'm want to begin with a

63
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: store worry of supersonic fast pain. Now, as you know,

64
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: Danny and you listening tho that hanging out here doing

65
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: the radio show, and get the TV show, which is

66
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: gonna be aired again today all over the place. Check

67
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: your local cable listings distributed by NBC Benny Versus The Penny,

68
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: Benny Versus the Penny. I'd love for you to check

69
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: that out. That would be really cool. So nonetheless, Danny,

70
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: one of the things I've been doing a lot of,

71
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: and it's just kind of my Michigas, is fasting, not

72
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: eating for a day and then eating. And lately I've

73
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: tried to extend things out a little bit. We're getting

74
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: close to the end of Benny Versus the Penny. We

75
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: had one more episode, but I know that I don't

76
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: look great on TV. I realized that, and I'm so paranoid.

77
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, how can I help myself out?

78
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: So I'm like, if I don't eat before the show

79
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: for like a day, I'm in good shape. And then

80
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: lately I've been extending it out even further. And this week,

81
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: this past week here, I took things to the next level.

82
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: Had a seventy four hour fast.

83
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 3: I thought you're going to say you laid in a

84
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 3: tanning bed.

85
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: That's Tom Looney. Actually, yeah, if you have not seen

86
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: Benny Versus the Penny this weekend, let me know in

87
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: the comments section on the pod on the review when

88
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: you give us the five stars, let us know. Let

89
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: me know what you think of Looney and what he

90
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: wore on television this weekend. It's quite quite the look.

91
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: Quite the look there, and I think what he wore

92
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: is either from nineteen ninety one or nineteen eighty nine,

93
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure you'd have to be the judge

94
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: of that. I know it's not from any time past

95
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: the year two thousand. So get to the point. So

96
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: I'm doing this this whole fast michig gos right, I

97
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: got this thing going on. So I go. I fast

98
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: for seventy four day and I from my eat on

99
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: Monday afternoon and then I don't eat Tuesday, I don't

100
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: eat Wednesday, and I don't eat until late in the

101
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: day on Thursday because we tape the TV show on Thursday.

102
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: So I wait till after that. I usually take a nap,

103
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: a couple hour nap, and then I'll eat. So fine, whatever,

104
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: it's my thing. It's not your thing, it's my thing, Okay,

105
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: So I know when I fast for more than a

106
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: couple of days that my body when I eat, it

107
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: reacts where you end up having some issues because you

108
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: lose certain fluids right away because your body's used to

109
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: not all of a sudden not having food. Then it

110
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: gets food. And I don't know the science behind it.

111
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: You might know the science, maybe you're you listening know

112
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: more about that than me. And I don't know exactly

113
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: the inner workings, but all I know, and I think

114
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: it's a combination with not having a gallbladder. I think

115
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: that's part of the issue. I don't know. This happens

116
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: to people that fast normally who have their gall bladder,

117
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: but I don't have mine. Mine got chopped out of

118
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: me several years back, so I don't have it. So

119
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: this when I start eating, it kind of goes through

120
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: me anyway, not to get to gravic. But I know exactly,

121
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: So I know, Danny that I've got about an hour.

122
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: I've got about an hour, and then after that things

123
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: are gonna go bad. I'm gonna have to run to

124
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: the crapper. I don't have to run to the crapper

125
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: with Thomas Crapper, So I know that. But then the

126
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: other thing that happens once I do that, Once I

127
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom real quick yet, but usually within

128
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: an hour, sometimes thirty minutes, usually within an hour, about

129
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: an hour, I go take care of business. And we

130
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: all do every day. We're supposed to do it every day.

131
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: So then the next thing that happens is I start

132
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: getting cramps, like muscle cramps and my legs sometimes my

133
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: arms are using my legs because of the fluids that

134
00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: I've lost and all that, and it's it's like really bad,

135
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: like it's really I mean, it's really nasty. And this week,

136
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: because I did a little extra, I went seventy four

137
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: hours and then ate a decent sized meal. It it

138
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: became became a problem. So I'm kind of squirming. I'm

139
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: getting ready for the overnight show on Thursday night, and

140
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: this starts hitting me muscle cramps, and I'm like, oh crap,

141
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: you know, I said his name again and I'm all

142
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: all messed up, and so I text the wife. I'm like, hey,

143
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: can you get me one of that? We got these packets.

144
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know what I think I've

145
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: talked about these things on the show. Maybe not, but

146
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: they're a hydration packets. Have you seen these things they

147
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: have my Costco in different stores. Yeah, those before, yeah, yeah,

148
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 1: yeah exactly. So it's like it's like drinking one of

149
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: them is like drinking eight cups of water.

150
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 3: They taste kind of nasty though, Yeah.

151
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: They got a weird taste. There's different flavors. You can

152
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 1: buy a big bag at Costco. That's what we got

153
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: our bag at Costco. So fine, I've got these things.

154
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: So you need to consume a lot of water very

155
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: quickly to get your body kind of back regulated to

156
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: stop the muscle cramps. So I had pro I'd been

157
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: proactive because I know how this works. I've been doing

158
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: this a while. I think I'm over three consecutive years

159
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: of fasting now, not this long yusually, but it's over

160
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: a thousand a thousand something days, which I think is

161
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: three years anyway, whatever, So I preemptively took one of

162
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: these hydration packets, thinking that once I had to go

163
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: take care of business and i'd lose all these fluid,

164
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have cramps. Well, I had cramps, and I

165
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: text the wife. I was like, Hey, can you bring

166
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: me one of these hydration things? I'm kind of in

167
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: bad shape. The studio and she wasn't home, she was

168
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: out running some errands. I had to sit there, Danny.

169
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: I couldn't I couldn't even stand up. The muscle pain

170
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: with my legs was that bad. And I just had

171
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: to take it, you know, I just had to take

172
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: the agony, the supersonic fast pain. Just had to deal

173
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: deal with it. And it was, oh my god, it

174
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: was very agonizing. And then eventually it kind of it

175
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: slowed down, and then I went and got one of

176
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: the hydration packets, and after that it wasn't too bad.

177
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: But it was you know, it was it Arkansas basketball

178
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: back in the day, in the nineties they had the

179
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: was it forty minutes of whatever? Remember they had the

180
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: thing forty minutes a hell or whatever. This is about

181
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: like ten minutes of agony, a pure, pure agony.

182
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 4: Does it kind of feel like the leg cramp in

183
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 4: the middle of the night because you stretch your leg

184
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 4: too hard.

185
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 3: Have you ever had that where it balls up?

186
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 2: No?

187
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've had exactly that.

188
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 3: Okay, man, that's excruciating pain.

189
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty bad. This was This was one of

190
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: the worst ones I've had so but it's a good

191
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: thing because I'll eat I eat good this weekend. I

192
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: ate pretty well yesterday, and I'll have some good meals today,

193
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: and then once Monday comes around, I'll stop eating again.

194
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 4: So now did you scream? For ten minutes there was

195
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 4: a murder happening.

196
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: I was like, I was thinking this might be the

197
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: way I die. It's just going to keep going up

198
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: my body. I'm like, this is the worst thing in

199
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: the world. I mean, oh so bad and oh my god,

200
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 1: but I live to do another podcast. So actually two

201
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: podcasts is our second one since that, since that happened.

202
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: What about your world day? What is what is wild and.

203
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 3: Wacky in our exciting lives of broadcasting?

204
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: Ben?

205
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 4: The big happening for me this past week was that

206
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 4: the water bottle shipment arrived. Yay. Now, I know everybody

207
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 4: thinks that this is probably because of the pink Stanley

208
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 4: cup craze. How people were beating each other up inside

209
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 4: Target to get one of these stupid Stanley cups.

210
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 2: Fans lining up at Target stores before sunrise just to

211
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: snag one.

212
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, there've been people stealing them and yeah.

213
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah.

214
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 4: And our daughter out of nowhere, she asked her mom,

215
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 4: She's like, can you buy me one of those pink Stanley's.

216
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 4: My wife told her, I'll buy you a Flanneley. You

217
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 4: ain't getting us Stanley. She's like, what's a Flanley and

218
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 4: she said, a fake Stanley. That's what you're going to get.

219
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 4: And it's funny because all of us, you know, old

220
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 4: enough to remember Stanley. We think of our parents or

221
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 4: our grandparents with those old coffee canisters.

222
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure, you know. And isn't there a Stanley?

223
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: What am I thinking of? Like not construction, but like, yeah,

224
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: something I remember seeing like the Stanley tape measures and

225
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: things like that.

226
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's that's what we think of. We think

227
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 4: of like construction.

228
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 3: Cry.

229
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: I think I'm like going to home depot or something

230
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: and seeing that. Yeah, these are limited edition pink cops, right,

231
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: that's why they're right.

232
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, And you know, it's it's really popular to have

233
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 4: your own big cup that you carry around and you

234
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 4: fill it with ice and water. It also can keep

235
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 4: things hot for a long time. We had last year

236
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 4: about August, I had to start thinking forward about the

237
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 4: little promotions budget that we have in the daytime because

238
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 4: we don't have guests, which I like our boss at

239
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 4: the network said, you can either have your little budget

240
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 4: for you know, famous people to come on your show

241
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 4: and we pay them, or you can use that for

242
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 4: your Nerve footballs.

243
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 3: And I said, boom, Nerve footballs all day.

244
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 1: Sure.

245
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 4: Once we got to about August, I was on my

246
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 4: last big box of Nerve footballs for Covino and Rich,

247
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 4: so I had to start thinking. I saw a spot

248
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 4: our video producer sitting in the studio that day and

249
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 4: he had a serious XM. Covino and Rich water bottle,

250
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 4: and I thought to myself, I know what I'll do.

251
00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 4: Take that idea, slap Fox Sports Radio on it, and

252
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 4: I'll get, you know, a shipment of these water bottles

253
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 4: in Okay, before this whole Stanley craze. But you know,

254
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 4: we didn't have the budget until the new year. A

255
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 4: couple days ago, I get an email from our office

256
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 4: manager upstairs saying, you got a shipment of six boxes.

257
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 3: Once in the box, we were excited.

258
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 4: We rip open the first box and there's the brand

259
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 4: new Swiggy is the brand stainless steel water bottles. They

260
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 4: came out really nice, like a metallic blue color. Obviously,

261
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 4: I wasn't able to order as many of these as

262
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 4: I ordered footballs because they cost more to make. Yeah,

263
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 4: then I made an error, and you know, I'm glad.

264
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 4: It was kind of like a good error. But I thought, well,

265
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 4: I should give everybody, and I have one for you.

266
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 4: By the way, I thought I should give everybody on

267
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 4: the staff.

268
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 3: One of these things.

269
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's cool.

270
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 4: I start passing them out and I'm doing an inventory

271
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 4: list to tape onto the box, and quickly been within

272
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 4: a day, I've already passed out twenty five of these suckers.

273
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 4: Because there's a lot of damn people working in our building.

274
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: Oh man, so you should work. If you work at night,

275
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: there's no one there, so you don't have to worry

276
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: about you got crickets.

277
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 3: In the daytime. I'm I'm you know.

278
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 4: I had to give them to the editors because they

279
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 4: had seen me give it to the update anchor who

280
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 4: saw me give it to the guy that does our production.

281
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 4: His production assistant came in, so I had to give

282
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 4: him one. And so by the time that first box

283
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 4: was open, I emptied the first box and Covino and

284
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 4: Rich were kind of looking at me because they saw

285
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 4: me going back and forth to the box, and I

286
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 4: was like, oh shit, I think I opened up a

287
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 4: box of worms here.

288
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: Oh man, so you are these just for the people

289
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: on the building. Are you going to give these the listeners.

290
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 4: The same way we did the Nerve footballs for our

291
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 4: trivia on Mondays and Tuesdays. Okay, and also some podcast

292
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 4: reviews here and there. Probably average give being one away

293
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 4: per week to a listener.

294
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: Okay, well that'd be a great thing to get. It'd

295
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: be pretty much, well you can actually use the damn thing.

296
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 3: Giving them out to the staff.

297
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 4: I got to finish that, and I was thinking, shit,

298
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 4: this is almost gonna cut my inventory in half.

299
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: Wow. But yeah, but you're you're giving people that work

300
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: that you're helping morale at Fox Sports Radio, Dame.

301
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 4: Everybody's reaction to this was so good that I thought, shit,

302
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 4: I should have just saved these all the year and

303
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 4: given them out as Christmas gifts.

304
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: It would have been better than the Christmas gift I

305
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: got from the company. So that would have been been

306
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: that I'm ripping anybody. I'm just I'm just saying, you know,

307
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: it would have been better than nothing. You know, it

308
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: would have been nice. Uh So, speaking of it, I

309
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: saw that Target is firing their the people at work

310
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: who've been Apparently they've these uh, these pink Stanley cups. Uh.

311
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: These things are so popular that people have been people

312
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: that work at Target. When the shipman comes in, they

313
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: they end up buying like all of them before they

314
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: go on the shelves, and uh so.

315
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 3: That way they could sell them on the secondary market.

316
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone seems to be obsessed with this cup.

317
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're a bunch of creeps.

318
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: It's tough, you know, but if you're working at Target,

319
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: you're not making that much money. But you shouldn't be.

320
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: You can't be doing that.

321
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 3: There probably needs to be a limit on how many

322
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 3: each employee can can snag away from the public.

323
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, you fired time out for the metaphor of the week.

324
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 3: Yes, the metaphor of the week.

325
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: Yes, the metaphor.

326
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 3: Man, you're going deep with this segment.

327
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: What the hell? Why not? So the metaphor of the

328
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: week here is the Elephant in the Room. Now, I've

329
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: changed this up over the years. I like to say

330
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: kmodo Dragon in the Room, which is a spin off

331
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: of the Elephant in the Room. And I was It's like,

332
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this the other day during the week,

333
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: and I'm like, hey, you know, I use this a

334
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: lot in monologues and just in my regular dialogue, my lexicon,

335
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: I use that phrase a lot. And I'm I'm a

336
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: fan of metaphors. I love metaphors. I think we all do.

337
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: That's how we communicate, right, It's a wonderful thing that

338
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: we as human beings have come up with these metaphors.

339
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 1: We say things that are completely opposite of what we mean,

340
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: but we all understand what we're saying. So the origin

341
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: story of the phrase elephant in the room goes back

342
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: to the eighteen hundreds. It goes back to the early

343
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds. It was a fable written by I even

344
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: Preedloth I believe is how you say his name. It

345
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: was called and it still is, the Inquisitive Man. Now.

346
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: The fable tells the story of a man who goes

347
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: to a museum and he notices all sorts of tiny things,

348
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: but he does not does not realize the elephant at

349
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: the museum. And that phrase became a you know, a

350
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: regular phrase in people's lexicons over years and different contexts

351
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: and whatnot. It was first recorded use, the first recorded

352
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: use of it in the kind of the modern way.

353
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: It was in the New York Times many many years back,

354
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 1: and it said financing schools have become a problem about

355
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: equal to having an elephant in the living room. It's

356
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: so big you just can't ignore it. And the phrase

357
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: went into general use much earlier than that New York

358
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: Times story. There was a story in a publication in

359
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: Britain from nineteen fifteen, but it was out there in

360
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: the eighteen early eighteen hundreds, and it's been mimicked in

361
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: all kinds of different cultures and languages. They have a

362
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: version of the elephant in the room, So I thought

363
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: that was that was interesting. It started with a fable

364
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: from Ivan kreedlof Krylov in eighteen fourteen. I don't think

365
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: he'll get upset with me, Eddie. I call you Eddie. Danny.

366
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: Oh my god, there's a Freudian sliff. I don't think

367
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: he'll get upset with me, Danny. How about shut up

368
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,719
Speaker 1: if if I mispronounced the guy's name, because why not?

369
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 4: It's yeah, you didn't call him by the wrong first name,

370
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 4: and he's dead anyway. So I don't think I like

371
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 4: that metaphor because kind of like our breaking news sounder

372
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 4: at the network, whenever a conversation starts with Okay, let's

373
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 4: address the elephant in the room. Gets everybody's attention because

374
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 4: something good is coming after that.

375
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, saran, And sometimes it's not good though you say elephant.

376
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: Usually you start out with a I like to compliment sandwich. Right, Well,

377
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: let's get together. You guys are doing really good. By

378
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: the way. Your ratings suck, but I think, yeah, you

379
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: were in a nice shirt today. You know, it's like

380
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: that kind of me.

381
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 3: But anyway, let's let's address the elephant in the room. Yes,

382
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 3: we're changing format.

383
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: You're all fired, but no, you're not all fired.

384
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 3: Wink wink.

385
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: Yes, at least we don't work in the newspaper business.

386
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that. Danny, my god, I got friends

387
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: that work in that world that is that is not good.

388
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: That is not good. Pop goes the culture is good.

389
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: So that means our buddy, oh hi oh ow Ohio

390
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: Wow John John Pop, thank you, Ohio. A little pop

391
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: culture mixed that in to the the fun. Pop goes

392
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: the culture. There's a new video that has made the

393
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: rounds on the interweb that claims that it has ninety

394
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: two percent accuracy. It shows what the world looks like

395
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: through various animal eyes have you seen this. It's it's

396
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: bouncing around here. Maybe, I don't know. You think this

397
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 1: is legit? How do they know? They claim they know,

398
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: but how you don't know unless you're a dog or

399
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: a cow what they see.

400
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is kind of like have you ever seen

401
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 4: where they show supposedly what it looks like when a

402
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 4: newborn is looking at people.

403
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, that kind of foggy kind of that can be.

404
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, like it's not clear yet and it's all the

405
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 4: colors aren't there and all of that. But I want

406
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 4: to know how they got to that conclusion.

407
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, I don't. You don't know. You have

408
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: no idea to me. It's like bull junk is what

409
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: it is? What it's being a bull junk. I thought

410
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: this was satire when I saw it, I thought, well,

411
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: this can't be when you get animal Thunderdome going. Is

412
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: that happening? By the way, this year animal Thunderdome is that.

413
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 4: It is going to happen by January twenty twenty five.

414
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure, I'm sure, yes, yes, absolutely so. This is

415
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: from a professor of philosophy at Rowan University in New

416
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: Jersey who has written a paper claiming that animals should

417
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: be allowed to vote.

418
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

419
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, the philosophy professor, he outlined his idea for a

420
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: voting system for animals and he he says, don't use

421
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: the word pet. Say animal rights. This guy who's an

422
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: animal rights active says, do not use the word pet.

423
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: So it's these people are How do these people live

424
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: amongst us? Danny? Seriously, how do they live amongst us?

425
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: I'd love to know, Like, how many how many psychedelic

426
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: drugs is one have to do to get to the

427
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: point where I think a dog should be able to vote?

428
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: Last week I bought a dog and I needed an emotion.

429
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,479
Speaker 4: Seriously, here's one that would have problems getting up to

430
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 4: go vote. They couldn't get to the poles right now, Ben,

431
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 4: did you see what's going on with the gators in

432
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 4: North Carolina?

433
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: No, what's going on with them?

434
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 4: So there's been photos and videos shared in North Carolina.

435
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 4: Alligators are frozen because temperatures dip just enough for the

436
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 4: surface to freeze. Alligators are seen there with just the

437
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 4: tips of their noses sticking up through the water while

438
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 4: the rest of their bodies are frozen underneath. They're dead,

439
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 4: They're alive. That's why their nose is sticking up to

440
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 4: give them air. So what happens is they literally fall out.

441
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: Really so they're like bears, hype bears going down but

442
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: they're wow.

443
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

444
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 4: Instead of hibernation, it's called brumation. It's it's like hibernation,

445
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 4: but alligators enter into this frozen state when the water freezes,

446
00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 4: their metabolic rate slows down and they become lethard. According

447
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 4: to the South Carolina Aquarium, Once they enter that period,

448
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 4: they don't eat, but they continue to drink to avoid dehydration.

449
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 4: It lasts for about four to five months, depending on

450
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 4: how long the water temperature remains cold.

451
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: That's wild. I didn't know anything about that. Now.

452
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 4: My question is, does any dope go up and start

453
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 4: punching their nose?

454
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: What would happen if you did? Yeah, because there's oh man,

455
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: that's pretty wild. Not I have not seen that. I

456
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: know it does get cold and part of South Carolina.

457
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: I've seen videos of golf courses with giant gators walking

458
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: around golf courses in South South Carolina. Where do the

459
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: gators stop? Is it South Carolina? Is that the end

460
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: of it? In North Carolina? Where's the point and why

461
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: do they not go any further is it because of

462
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: the weather. I don't know.

463
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 3: I will have to look that up.

464
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 4: See that's a question Clay would have asked me if

465
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 4: I read this on the animal Thunderdome, which is why?

466
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 4: And I know he throws a lot of curveballs. Ben

467
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 4: So normally, when I have a story like this, I

468
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 4: have to do my due diligence ahead of time, and

469
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 4: like I get the most commonly asked questions about that

470
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 4: story written on a sheet of paper.

471
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 3: That way, I can sound like somewhat of a brainiac.

472
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: Oh, the smartest gather the room, the smartest.

473
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 4: Well, I don't got to worry about that till January

474
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 4: of twenty five, though, I think twenty twenty six would

475
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 4: be a good year for that.

476
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: You want to take a guess how many robo calls

477
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: are made in America each year? Scammers? Take a guess.

478
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 4: Oh, man, it's got to be something like ten million.

479
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: Much much more than that. Now, the US population in

480
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, the US population here our twenty twenty four.

481
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: Now we're in the new year. The population in the

482
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 1: United States is what are we looking at? Three hundred

483
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: and thirty something million. I think I'm right on that,

484
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: right around. We'll give or take maybe closer to three

485
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: hundred and forty mine now because people having babies again,

486
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: so whatever, it's three hundred and thirty three hundred and

487
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: forty million people. The claim is that Americans have received

488
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: seventy eight billion what robo calls in the last you know,

489
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: each year they get seventy eight million billion on average,

490
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: according to a newport And it's funny how this works.

491
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: Like the politicians have done a few things to try

492
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: to stop robo calls, but not much. It's like token gestures.

493
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: But now they're starting to pay attention. Now why are

494
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: they starting to pay attention? Because there was a story

495
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: that's been going on. This is an election year here

496
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: in the US, and an AI clone voice of President

497
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: Biden was used on robo calls urging New Hampshire Democrats

498
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: not to vote in the primary. And so now all

499
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: of a sudden, they're like, wait a minute, this could

500
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: affect the election. So does anyone get a robo call

501
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: and say, Okay, I better not vote because I got

502
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: a robot call? Who does that? Are there people that stupid?

503
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: I guess the answer is yes. But Americans lose sixty

504
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 1: five billion every year from phone scammers.

505
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 3: That is nuts damn So.

506
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: Seventy eight billion robo calls leads to sixty five billion

507
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: in lost money by Americans. That means the scam that's

508
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: got to be one of the easiest hustles to get right.

509
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: Because there was a documentary and I forget the name

510
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: of it. I don't know what we talked about it

511
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: on the podcast or not. It was an HBO documentary.

512
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: I believe it was HBO about the police associations that

513
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: were bogus that would call people up for donations, and

514
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: it was kind of that thing. It was like the

515
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: same although they were actually people. They had call centers,

516
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: but it was scamming people out of money on the phone.

517
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: And I think that stuff became automated. But that is

518
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,479
Speaker 1: that is a bananas star almost as bananas as that

519
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: AI Taylor Swift porn.

520
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 4: Danny, which is yeah, I know, I have seen those photos.

521
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: They say that the on X over twenty two million

522
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: views of Taylor Swift made up different clips and whatnot

523
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: on on social and they were asking the question, will

524
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: anyone actually be prosecuted, like what would the crime be?

525
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: Like what would you get in trouble for? It's AI.

526
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: It's not real, it's AI. And if you went to court,

527
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: what would the defense be, it's art or something like that,

528
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: or how would you I don't know how that would work.

529
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a defense you'd come up with that

530
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: might get you out of that, but who who knows?

531
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: And we have a follow up to the George Carlin story.

532
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: We talked about this AI generated comedy special.

533
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 3: Oh, that's right. His daughter was in the news about that.

534
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: Well, there has the George Carlin estate has sued the

535
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: creators of the AI generated Comedy Special. How long does

536
00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: that a state? Thing? Last Carlin died a number of

537
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: years ago. Is there in a state of babe ruth?

538
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: That probably is?

539
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 3: I would guess as long as they have living relatives.

540
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: Okay, they've sued the creators of the AI generated Comedy

541
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: Special and this is a supposedly one of those turning

542
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: point lawsuits, his key lawsuit over AI and celebrities. And

543
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,719
Speaker 1: the daughter Kelly Carlin said, we have to draw a

544
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: line in the same and she said, George Carlin, the

545
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: special title George Carlin, I'm glad I'm dead was the

546
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: thing I didn't know and I saw I heard a

547
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: little clip, but I didn't see the thing.

548
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 3: So did Carlin make a shit a ton of money?

549
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 2: Ben?

550
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 4: I would think that he was really at his peak

551
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 4: when well, I guess he was one of the heavyweights.

552
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 4: But I'm interested to know what his net worth was

553
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 4: when he passed.

554
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know the answer. He did do very

555
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: well as he got older. His career kind of flamed

556
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: out for a while and then came back as he

557
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: got older, and he had a bunch of HBO comedy

558
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: specialisies I'm sure pay a lot of money.

559
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 3: It says he was worth ten million at the time

560
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 3: of his death, all right, So.

561
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: I think what we're going to do here? And when

562
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: did he die? It was a long time, alright, ten years.

563
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's see when did he die? Two thousand and eight?

564
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 4: I spen that long, yeah, it says, though not as

565
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 4: high as some other famous comedians, his wealth was a

566
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 4: testament to his enduring popularity and success in the industry.

567
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: All right, so two thousand and eight, Right, you said

568
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: that ten million. I'm turning to our trusty friend, Danny

569
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: the inflation calculator. Oh, I love this thing, and we'll

570
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: go sit the year to twenty twenty four we'll go

571
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: back sixteen years. Okay, so that ten million, if he

572
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: was worth ten million when he died, that's worth fourteen

573
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: fourteen million dollars in today's month. So it's not I

574
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: guess millionaire. But yeah, you're doing pretty well, doing pretty well.

575
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: How about that? Just in sixteen years, it's gone up

576
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: forty one percent.

577
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 4: I'm sure family has spent some of that money in

578
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 4: those years.

579
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: You think by Nick Nacks.

580
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 3: A couple of trips to Hawaii probably.

581
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: I give or take. Yeah, all right, we'll get out

582
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: anything that going on today. It's Saturday. There any no

583
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: NFL games today because that's tomorrow with the championship games

584
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: and all that. So anything going on with you.

585
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a day of rest and probably get my

586
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 4: butt into the garage and see if I can continue

587
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 4: to organize. Man, you think I've been waiting a long

588
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 4: time for the Animal Thunderdome, I've been waiting even longer

589
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 4: to have an organized garage.

590
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it'll get organized. If it's like it's like

591
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: the Malor Mansion, our garage, we'll organize it and then

592
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: six months later we'll have to organize it again because

593
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: it's a freaking, freaking nightmare. It's a disaster. How's little

594
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: g doing? By the way, haven't gotten a little g

595
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: update on how you kids.

596
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 4: CoA is doing good today, But a couple of days

597
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 4: ago that was not the case. Ben he had his

598
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 4: very first allergic reaction to something.

599
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: Oh what is he allergic to? I want to know.

600
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 4: He's allergic to some lavender softener that my wife he

601
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 4: was using on our laundry.

602
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah, because.

603
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 4: She was holding him up against her sweater which was

604
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 4: washed in this new softener, and half his face swelled

605
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 4: up and broke out.

606
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 3: They're the vice. Poor guy.

607
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 4: He got almost what looked like an eye infection, so

608
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 4: we had to rush down and get some baby benadrill.

609
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 4: A couple hours later, the swelling went down, and finally

610
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 4: a day later, all the redness went away. Man, all right, Yeah,

611
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 4: it's scary because you know, we had a backtrack like

612
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 4: what did we feed him?

613
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 3: What did he eat?

614
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 4: Because he's been trying out new food. My wife gave

615
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 4: him some mashed up sweet potatoes that they sell for babies,

616
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 4: and he spit it out. He spit it on her

617
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 4: solid I'm not a fan of this vibe.

618
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 3: Like you suck as parents you suck.

619
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,440
