WEBVTT - The Fifth Hour: "Back Off the Delay" Mail Bag 0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:01.480 Kabooms. 0:00:02.320 --> 0:00:05.400 If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.160 a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.480 of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.520 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:17.480 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:18.360 Wow. 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.320 The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special. 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:29.120 The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:29.800 the end. 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:36.239 Everywhere back at the podcast dojo, you have stumbled on 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:39.560 another fifth Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny G Radio 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:44.600 taking you through the weekend on this podcast, and we 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:48.479 have arrived at a very popular podcast, the mail Bag. 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:50.839 But it's not just the mail Bag, Danny G. We 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:53.720 have more content. As you hang out in Sin City, 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:56.920 we have more content than just the mail Bag because 0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:00.800 we also will have pop goes. The culture exciting is that. 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:05.360 Yeah, you can't just have cocaine. You can't just have hookers. 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:07.960 You have to have a bunch of hookers and cocaine. 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:09.680 A bunch of hookers and cocaine. 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:12.800 That's the Yeah, that's the line right there. You got it. 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:17.120 You gotta have it. That's a requirement, absolutely a requirement. 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.240 And thanks to everyone that took time out on the 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.880 mail bag. And it was a little slow. I posted 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.920 on the fourth of July for the mail bag, which 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:29.039 was risky because most people aren't on social media on 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.440 the fourth July, but I thought, well, we'll see, we'll 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.800 test it out. Total disaster. There were very few questions. 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:38.800 And then Alf the Alien old Piner he called the 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:42.880 Mala Militia. He called all the p ones, the brigadier 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:44.800 generals and the malle of Militia. He called them out 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.080 to send questions in. So we got a ton of 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.760 questions this week, which is great. Well, I want to 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:53.160 thank Alf, who's always there to answer the call. My man, 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:58.000 Alf the Alien Opiner outstanding. But we will have pop 0:01:58.040 --> 0:01:59.640 gos to the culture. I did want to mention there's 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.240 a new open which we will not be doing today, Danny, 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:03.400 but I did send it to you. 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:05.920 I already was bumping it in my car. 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:11.000 Yeah, we have a new scientifical jingle by request from 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:12.919 you last weekend. 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.560 I goofed around after it and I was turning the 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:19.200 reverb up on our voices up and down and just 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.160 goofing with ohio al and he was like, it's delay, 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:26.120 not reverb, and his new version of it is remix 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:30.040 is even more awesome than the original. So Ohio, aw, 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:31.799 we appreciate all the work you do. 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.760 Yes, we appreciate that. Although I guess we could play it. 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:36.000 I don't know do we want to play we're not 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:39.519 doing scientifical we could well, actually, you know what, I 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:41.480 got a couple of scientifical stories if you want. 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.960 Yeah, yeah, I'll play the remix right here, and then 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:59.880 you give us two stories science. 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:08.160 Okay, good job? Oh wow? Nice? As he said, it 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.000 was too heavy on the delay effect, not reverb in 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.000 the final mix. And so there you go. 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:14.960 This is this reverb. 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.680 Ohio, I wants to know, are you less dizzy? Now, Danny? 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:23.359 Are you less? You are? All right? Well, here we go. 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:28.160 These are scientifical stories. And how about this one. Harvard 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:31.920 scientists say the UFO that crashed in the ocean in 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:37.600 twenty fourteen appears to be artificial in origin. So they say, 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:41.760 this is coming from Harvard. This is another science related 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.800 story about UFOs. There's been a ton of these. There 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:50.080 was a story this week that a Republican congress person 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:54.480 said that UFOs may be ancient civilizations. Not a scientist, 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.480 though but this Harvard scientist has chimmed in on this, 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:03.160 and we've got government officials. It certainly is directing. Everything's 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:07.960 directing towards some big global announcement, and we'll see what happens. 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.440 Get your toilet paper and bottled water ready. So that 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:11.400 was the first science story. 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:15.120 The other one and by the way, then called web 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:15.880 an alien. 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.400 Oh well, Adam, Silver's an alien. So there's plenty of 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:23.360 aliens there. Now here's a fun story. This is from 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.560 the science world. According to the US Department of Agriculture, 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:31.240 the scientists there, the average person eats up to how 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:35.400 many flies, maggots and other bugs each year. 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:45.240 Ah, the fat boys are back. Oh man, I don't 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.280 even I don't don't think I want to know the 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:48.680 answer to this. 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:50.840 This is fascinating. And the only reason that we're doing 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:52.800 this is because, Ohio, I'll put a song in. Otherwise 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.039 I was I wasn't gonna get to this. But the 0:04:55.160 --> 0:05:02.080 average person eats up to one pound of flies and maggots. 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.080 I blame you for this, Ohio. 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:07.800 Well, I guess it's gonn We eat the maggots and 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:09.800 then when we die, they eat us. So that's a 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:14.280 wonderful thing. But they claim this is because fruits, vegetables, spices, 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:20.040 and most processed foods are legally permitted by the FDA 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:25.159 to contain very small levels of bug parts. But eat 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.240 every day. Most people eat three meals a day. I 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.520 eat one meal a day. But over the course of time, 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:34.680 you're eating all those bugs. And they did an analysis. 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:38.360 They said canned fruit juices can have a maggot for 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:42.400 every two hundred and fifty millimeters and ten grams. Wow, 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:45.360 a maggot for every two hundred and fifty millimeters. 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:49.000 Thanks, I'm for serving all that canned apple juice. 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.080 Yeah, I get that cranberry juice right now. Knock yourself 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:59.840 out on that that is standing And so okay. They 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:06.160 consumption of bugs. They say that in peanut butter they 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:10.040 allow twenty whole insects for every one hundred pound bag 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:17.119 of peanut butter. They say standard jar peanut butter often 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.320 has between three hundred five hundred grams. But you do 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:22.160 the math on that, the single jar peanut butter can 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:26.000 have around five rodent hairs one hundred and fifty insect 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:30.040 fragments and still be okay, get the green light. 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:32.120 Giving us way too much information? 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:37.599 Now, Wow, man. All right, I mean there's a no. 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:39.440 I got some other bug stories here if you want. 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:41.680 There was a guy there was an autopsy in for 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:45.800 a guy in Florida who died. He died after winning 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:50.400 a cockroach eating contest, and he was he choked to 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:51.480 death on cockroaches. 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:52.440 What a way to go out? 0:06:53.640 --> 0:07:00.680 I intermittent chest paint? Great? How'd you go out? Cockroaches? 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:05.919 And I choked on cockroach? Oh? So that's science. We have. 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:07.919 Pop goes the culture? Do we have that? Is that? 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:08.520 Ready to go? 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:22.440 Fire it up right now? John? John? 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:28.000 All right, they're very very good here, Pop goes the Culture. 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:30.760 So a lot of stories about Elon Musk and Mark 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:34.200 Zuckerberg this week, including Elon Musk threatening to sue Mark 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:38.920 Zuckerberg for ripping off Twitter with Threads, which is it's 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:43.000 not quite a perfect doppelganger of Twitter, but it's pretty close, 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:48.280 although they don't have the tweet deck. I actually message 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.200 Mark Zuckerberg. I'm sure he'll pay attention on threads, and 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.880 I said, listen, if you get a search engine like 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:56.760 Twitter has with tweet deck, which is going to go 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.560 to a paywall, if you can set that up, Mark, 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.040 I'm in I'm off Twitter. I'll just move over there. 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.360 And of course Eddie Garcia chimed in and said he's 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.119 he did the ultimate old guy thing to any Eddie 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.800 said that he's not going to any other social media said, 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:13.000 if Twitter dies, that's it. 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:14.120 I don't care. 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:17.920 I'm leaving. Goodbye attitude. 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:19.600 I thought you were going to say he put his 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.080 phone number as his handle. 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:23.760 Oh no, that's not what you are. Yeah, that's not 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.119 That's the all time gold standard for a Twitter story 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:30.560 from a listener. But Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:34.960 been offered to have their celebrity fight. You see this last. 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:36.679 Week at the coliseum? 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:41.920 Yeah, the in Rome And how many does that hold? 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:43.080 Do we know the seats on that? 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:43.720 I don't. 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.319 It's not really an active sports venue at this point. Right, 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.640 well dead, they'd have an all time high. I actually 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:56.079 I bring that up because the tourists who famously defaced 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.320 the coliseum wrote a letter. This is one of the 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:02.599 funniest letters I've ever seen. She remember the story. We 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.400 talked about it. I think on the podcast. This guy 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:09.240 went to the coliseum a tourist in Rome. This thing's 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:13.720 almost two thousand years old, and he drew the initials 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:20.720 of his girlfriend on the coliseum. Right, he used his 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:24.760 keys to etch his you know, love of his girlfriend. 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:26.920 But boy, that you talk about being whipped. Man, my god, 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.680 what are you doing anyway? You can't be doing that. 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:32.920 So the guy, how old do you think the guy was? 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:33.240 Eddie? 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.400 How do you think this guy was? I called you. 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.760 I call you Eddie. I just called you, Eddie. Why 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:39.680 do I call you Eddie? 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:43.319 You're I'm on threads. I signed up last Thursday. 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.520 I did too. I signed up myself. 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:48.440 I signed up and nice, I'll add you on there. 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.320 Yeah, it's fine, It's it's cool whatever. I'm into it. 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.400 I go with the peoples. I learned. Eddie didn't learn this. 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:57.160 But I believe you have to adapt. It's Darwinism. If 0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:00.040 you don't adapt, you die. Like Eddie, Eddie be the 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.400 I'm on AOL. I'm not going on anything. I'm on MySpace. 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.920 I'm not going to Facebook, you know, I mean, come on. 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:07.280 But anyway, so. 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:11.280 You're saying this guy scratched in his love for his girlfriend. 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.160 Yeah, like her initials a love note on the wall 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:15.720 of the coliseum. 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.199 Would what would be thirteen years old? 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.079 How about the opposite of that, how about thirty one 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:23.480 years old. I'm thirty one years old. 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:27.240 I think it was Herald from match Me Abroad. 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:32.000 His name is Ivan dit Matrof is his name. And 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:36.000 he wrote a letter of apology July fourth, which is 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.920 just July fourth in Rome. It was addressed to the 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.319 prosecutor's office because he's worried about's going to jail, the 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.760 mayor of Rome and all the other big executives there. 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:50.400 And a portion of the letter was published in the 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:55.720 daily newspaper in Rome, the daily there. And this guy claimed, 0:10:56.000 --> 0:11:01.280 this is outstanding. You talk about you talk about bullshit. 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:05.560 This guy claimed he had quote no idea. It was 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.920 so ancient. The Colisseum in Rome. 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:16.480 Hey, you have all those thousands and thousands of visitors 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:20.120 there with you because people want to see some brand 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:21.640 new shit that was just built. 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.320 It was actually built in nineteen eighty seven. It just 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.400 looks like it's old. It was built in ninety It's 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.520 like the hotels in Vegas. You had to say, there's 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:31.200 some of them make they look like they're old. So 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:37.000 that is just wonderful, just absolutely wonderful. Well, here's a story. 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.240 I think this was a movie on Popko's the culture, 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:41.920 but now it's reality. A guy in California has been 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:46.400 sentenced over six years in prison why he conducted a 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:51.560 Ponzi scheme involving horseshit or actually cowshit, excuse me, cowshit, 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:58.040 an eight point seven million dollar cow manure Ponzi scheme, 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:01.640 according to the US Attorney General's Office. And this guy's 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:05.880 go to jail for six years because of coalbanure. 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.440 Wow, do you know what is worse? Do you know 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:14.120 the answer to this? Does cowshit smell worse than horseshit? 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:19.120 I think it does. And here's why I've heard that 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:23.640 horseshit will just vanish. You don't necessarily have to pick 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.439 up horseshit because it'll shrink and it'll pretty much go away. 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:31.040 But when I've driven through your old stopping grounds kind 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.320 of in central California there, and I've gone up through 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:38.480 Fresno in that area, that is such a pungent smell 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:43.480 in the toilet bowl of California where all the food 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:44.080 is made. 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.439 You're not kidding. Because when my mom left San Jose 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:52.120 to buy property in the Modesto area, she was all 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:55.640 excited about how cheap the homes were, and me and 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:58.000 my older brother. We were in high school. We're like, Mom, 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:03.440 you know there's a reason why the whole are cheap, right, Dude, 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:06.080 Just driving into that area, it's like a wall of 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.880 cowshit smell knocks you on your ass. It is one 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:13.280 of the worst smells I've ever experienced. 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.040 It's Sarah, But you drive on the Interstate five through 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:20.120 California and you cannot leave your windows down. You will 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:23.439 be overwhelmed, Danny with that smell. 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:26.080 And it just is Yeah, what is that that? Harris Ranch? 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:28.839 Yeah, I think that's I think that's it. Yeah. 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:32.160 Yeah, when you get to the middle of the drive 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:35.120 to the Bay Area on the five freeway, you get 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:38.240 to Harris Ranch, and boy, let me tell you know 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:38.880 you're there. 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:42.400 So this guy is scammed. This guy got eight point 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.040 seven million dollars from investors. He claimed he could turn 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:50.320 cow manure into green energy, except he couldn't because in 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.520 theory the methane could then be taken out of the 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:57.000 manure then sold on the open market. Is green energy 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.040 and all that. But this guy, I guess, was just 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:03.520 a a scam artist. And he told investors they were 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:07.160 going to receive tax incentives and sixty six percent of 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.240 all net profits. Yeah, what's the old line, Dany, If 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:12.320 it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:13.240 Isn't that usually? 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:16.240 How that sounds too good to be true? It's probably 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:17.120 a cow patty. 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:21.200 Yeah, there's a few other I mean, we'll do one more. 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:23.120 I got to get the mail back. But pop goes 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:28.080 the culture from France, the president mccrn and Manuel mccron. 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:31.280 There was a riot in France over the last couple 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.440 of weeks. There was rioting. The Parisians are not happy, 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:39.840 and the president of France is blaming the rioting on 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.560 This is outstanding, Danny. This sounds like a throwback to 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:49.160 the nineteen eighties. Blaming it on video games. Oh god, yeah, Yeah, 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:51.960 he's blaming it on video games, and he's asking parents 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:54.280 to step in here. 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:58.200 Well, before this podcast, I played a video game on 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.040 my phone, So I think I need a glock right now. 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.160 You want to go out and destroy something? Is that 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:05.840 what you like to do. 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.560 I'm either gonna tip a car over or I'm gonna 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:12.400 shoot up an old abandoned house just for some target practice. 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.640 Yeah. Well, because you know I played Mario Brothers when 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:17.640 I was a kid. This guy's in his forties, what 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:21.680 are you doing? This guy Emmanuel Macron or whatever. The 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.400 guy's in his mid forties. You're not an old dude. 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:25.920 What do you do? You sound like an old man. 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:29.120 What's wrong with you? Your middle aged man? Shame on you. 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.200 Let's get to the mail bag.

Riespect as the old song went first up. 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:38.359 Mike in Fullerton writes and says, I Ben and Danygee, 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:42.560 I've noticed the Bennett lineup has been different nearly every 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.840 single night lately. I thought Steve Disigat did a pretty 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.840 bang up job this week. But I was wondering if 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:53.320 the lack of consistency has been challenging or if you've 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:57.000 been enjoying getting to work with such a variety of producers, 0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:01.400 board ops, update anchors besides the ones one whose initials 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:06.359 are k W. He says, and he also has a 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:10.520 bonus question. So, yeah, Mike, it's been very interesting. It's 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.480 like a whirlwind is I feel like the Tasmanian devil 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:16.560 when I go in there, and I like working with 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:18.440 different people. I think it's fun. It keeps me on 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:21.520 my toes and the great thing about working with the 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.040 different producers is you never know what's going to happen. 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:26.720 Like we had a night the other night. One of 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:28.960 our producers had no idea how to use the phone system. 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.600 He hung up on everyone. There was an echo on 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:35.400 the phones. That was interesting. The podcast has been quite 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:39.119 an adventure. I think the producers, Danny, they want to 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:43.520 make the listener work to enjoy the radio show podcast. 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:47.280 I remember those books that we used to want as kids, 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:50.960 whenever there was a book fair or what was that 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:53.480 stupid day called where they would deliver the books. 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:57.360 Yeah, yeah, the magazine. It was a fundraiser. You got 0:17:57.440 --> 0:17:59.760 the books, and the books were like lastic. 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.440 I think it was like it was a schoolastic book 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:06.240 fair and the rich kids had a whole box of 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:09.600 delivered to their desk, and your mom gave you enough 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:13.000 money to get two stupid books. And I would look 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:14.840 at all the rich kids and be like, screw you 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:16.080 little bastards. 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:18.800 Well remember too about those books. As I remember as 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:21.280 a child, I was so excited by the name of 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:25.119 the book, and they'd be like Baseball's Greatest Stars, you know, 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:28.320 and you'd get it and it was like twelve pages. 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:32.000 Oh yeah, like it would be older players from way back, 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:33.119 like it wasn't current. 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:36.440 Yeah yeah yeah, and you'd be like, what the hell, man? 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:40.760 I and the rich kids they got the book marks, 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:46.359 the stickers, all the crap in that schoolastic little brochure. 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:51.600 It was awesome. But back, let's see what was the 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:52.560 original question. 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:56.440 Well, the question was about you know, the different producers 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:57.040 I've worked with. 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:01.879 Yeah, oh yeah, what were these books? When we were kids? 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:05.320 You got to choose your own path. So it was like, 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:08.480 if you want the guy with a sword to run 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:13.080 towards the shining light, go to page twelve. It was 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:16.920 choose your own adventure. Your podcast last week was kind 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:20.720 of like that. I tuned into your podcast, Ben, and 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.879 I started on hour two. I went from hour two 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:26.199 to hour four, and I was like, this is awesome. 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:30.240 This is like Ben Mallard choose your own adventure audio style. 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:33.760 Yeah, it's just throwing stuff against the wall. And maybe 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:38.359 maybe our two is better. I don't know, but outstanding, 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:41.240 just outstanding. So that has been a lot of fun. 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:45.600 And also the different board ops. Some boardops play drops, 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:49.000 some don't play any drops. Some guys play drops. I like, 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:50.320 some guys plays drops. 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:50.680 I hate. 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:53.960 It's an adventure now, Mike says, Ben, did you enjoy 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:56.800 any New York pizza protests while you were in the 0:19:56.840 --> 0:19:59.800 Big Apple? I hope you threw pizza at the Mayor's 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:04.760 So I did see a guy got arrested for yeah, 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:07.879 for throwing pizza in Lower Manhattan. 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:08.080 There. 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:12.080 I ate a little bit of pizza from Joe's Pizza 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:14.720 and some places over in Brooklyn, but I did not 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:18.440 did not throw it. Pizza is a very valuable food. 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:20.480 I feel like you should not be throwing pizza. That's 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:22.440 a bad job by you if you throw pizza. Kevin 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:24.520 in Kansas Rights, It says dear Ben and Danny G. 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:28.600 You often talk about how much stuff you do and 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:32.520 buy in California. I imagine that everyone in your state 0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:35.520 must make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year just 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:37.879 to be able to live there. Well, that's quite the imagination. 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:40.639 Could you explain how you all managed to live in 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:44.640 California giving the given the finances of the Golden State. 0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:46.560 I've been in the Midwest all my life, so I 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:48.320 have no idea how you guys. 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:50.280 Manage. 0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:54.320 Yeah, uh, Danny, would you like to give a masterclass 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:57.399 on how expensive shit is in California and how you 0:20:58.200 --> 0:20:58.719 you survive? 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:02.840 You at your alarm clock for four forty five am, 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:07.600 wake your ass up quickly. In fifteen minutes, brush your teeth, 0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:10.720 put on deoda, and then get dressed. Go to job 0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:15.280 number one. Then after job number one, you eat maybe 0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:19.119 a granola bar or some top ramen, depending on how 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:21.800 much food budget you have for the month. Then you 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:24.840 go to job number two. Then after job number two 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:29.920 you come home quickly, take a shower and tell your wife, honey, 0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:31.800 I'll see you a little later. I'm going to job 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:35.440 number three. Oh my gosh. Yeah, that's how you make 0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:37.800 it in Los Angeles, California. 0:21:38.000 --> 0:21:40.320 And you know you're doing well. If you're ramen you're 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:43.080 able to put some garlic powder on the ramen. 0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:45.120 You know you've arrived. 0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:49.160 And if you can afford salt and pepper, you are rich. 0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:52.240 You are an aristocrat. The thing that kills me about 0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:54.520 California is when I go travel around other states, and 0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:57.240 just by leaving California, pretty much every other state other 0:21:57.320 --> 0:22:01.639 than some other states, some other big wackadoodle states like 0:22:01.840 --> 0:22:04.800 New York or Hawaii. But the gas is like a 0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:08.680 dollar cheaper a gallon and it's the same frickin gas. 0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:12.400 It just kills me. It just drives me insane. 0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:15.960 Now, the gas taxes have to be the number one 0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:19.639 complaint from US. At least help us out with gas. 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:22.920 Come on, man, there's no real rapid transit. You have 0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:26.040 to drive everywhere. And they're talking about making some of 0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:28.560 the roads where they charge you to drive at certain 0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:33.600 times on the highways in California, which is also just. 0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:36.200 Take your toll roads and shove them. 0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:39.760
