Speaker 1: Kabooms. If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred
Speaker 1: minutes a week was enough, think again. He's the last
Speaker 1: remnants of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness.
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow. The Clearinghouse
Speaker 1: of Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the air
Speaker 1: everywhere the audio dojo is open for business again. You
Speaker 1: have found the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny Gi.
Speaker 1: But you already knew that I was a little ahead
Speaker 1: of my time. Today is April fools Day, which is
Speaker 1: ironic because I became the fool by promoting April fools
Speaker 1: Day when it wasn't even April fools Day. But now
Speaker 1: I checked the calendar app on my phone. Today is
Speaker 1: the day. Today is the day, so I am correct.
Speaker 1: Today's the day, Dame man. It has been an awesome
Speaker 1: week into the weekend. Here Lakers are winning, Dodgers are winning, Clippers,
Speaker 1: the Raiders are going to dominate the NFL Draft. And
Speaker 1: are you going to go to the NFL Draft in
Speaker 1: late Aprils this month? In Kansas City, isn't it? Yes, Yes,
Speaker 1: the Heartland right there. How do you say? I like,
Speaker 1: how you say Kansas City? I quote the play by
Speaker 1: play guy for the Chiefs. It's Cansa City, your old producer,
Speaker 1: wrong button, Bob. But he told me, he said, Hey,
Speaker 1: if they want to send me there, I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: him that I can't go due to family obligations. He's like,
Speaker 1: send you instead. Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure that that'll
Speaker 1: that'll happen, of course. And then but anybody that goes
Speaker 1: to kans City, there's a rule. And I don't know
Speaker 1: if don Or Scott told you about this, but they
Speaker 1: told me that there's a rule. Anyone from the company,
Speaker 1: any from iHeart Fox Sports Radio that goes to Kansas City,
Speaker 1: they have to eat at the Landing the chicken fingers.
Speaker 1: They It's required, or else you've got to pay for
Speaker 1: your whole trip. So now, if you go to Kansas City,
Speaker 1: you gotta have the Ben Mallar chicken fingers at the Landing,
Speaker 1: which is in Liberty, Missouri, right next to it's actually
Speaker 1: near Arrowhead and where the Chiefs play and the Royals
Speaker 1: at their stadium. So there's that. But the the number
Speaker 1: one barbecue plays and I at all the big ones
Speaker 1: when I was in Kansas City years ago, and I
Speaker 1: gotta get back to Kansas City too. It's on my
Speaker 1: list of places I gotta go back and hang out.
Speaker 1: But it's a it's a cool place to visit. Good food,
Speaker 1: good people. But Kansas City they have this. It used
Speaker 1: to be called Oklahoma Joe's. It's now Kansas City Joes.
Speaker 1: It's at a gas station, so it's actually at a
Speaker 1: working gas station, and there is always a line out
Speaker 1: the door. It's like there we have Teitos tacos, where
Speaker 1: there's a line here in La Well, then that's their
Speaker 1: Teitos tacos. It's nuts and the z Man sandwich the
Speaker 1: single greatest thing I have ever had. I should put
Speaker 1: a word in here, food wise, in my mouth, in
Speaker 1: my belly, next thing I know. I just saw this
Speaker 1: white thing flying at my face and the ze Mans
Speaker 1: much amazing, amazing, so good taste like a touchdown in
Speaker 1: your mouth. Oh it was not. It was a game
Speaker 1: winning touchdown. It was a Grand Slam. It was. It
Speaker 1: was insane. So um. But anyway, so we got a
Speaker 1: lot of things to get to on the Saturday podcast,
Speaker 1: and we'll we'll get the partee started here with We've
Speaker 1: got a hunger strike, ending hunger strike ending, flashing lights
Speaker 1: backscratcher pop goes the culture and scientifically, and we will
Speaker 1: start with this. Every once in a while, a protest works, Danny.
Speaker 1: Every once in a while a protest, it's it's successful.
Speaker 1: It doesn't happen all the time. Right away, Are they
Speaker 1: going to lower the prices for our vending machine? No? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. But for the last year on the Overnight Show,
Speaker 1: I made several references on the on the show that's
Speaker 1: got my name on it, and it was get up,
Speaker 1: get down. There's a Mallard movement in this town. You know.
Speaker 1: It was that kind of thing, you know, no justice,
Speaker 1: no peace. It was hey, hey, ho ho, the Angel
Speaker 1: pr staff has to go, you know that whole thing.
Speaker 1: I was denied access media access to cover the Angels
Speaker 1: last season. Oh I remember you ranting about it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I went on a few rants and you know,
Speaker 1: what do we want credentials? When do we want them? Now?
Speaker 1: You know that kind of thing. I all, I have
Speaker 1: all the protest chance down, I know them more. Um So, anyway,
Speaker 1: this season I was asked by the great Leader Lap
Speaker 1: who takes care of a lot of that stuff. Lee's like, hey,
Speaker 1: do you need me to take care of anything? And
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, you know, let's let's see what's up
Speaker 1: in Anaheim. You know, let's see if they turned me
Speaker 1: down two years in a row, those Hey loosum And
Speaker 1: so he sent a request in and turn out the
Speaker 1: Angel said, Okay, you're good. I think shoe Hey did it.
Speaker 1: He's definitely a man of the people. That's a thing
Speaker 1: I don't understand because last night check maybe maybe he's
Speaker 1: been traded, and it's like, maybe that's the big story today.
Speaker 1: You know that he got traded on April Fool's Day.
Speaker 1: But Otani's selling team, the argument I was told was
Speaker 1: there's no room for you because of all the Japanese media,
Speaker 1: because of Shohei Otani, and there's hardly any room in
Speaker 1: the media area for the Angels because they got rid
Speaker 1: of all that years ago. And so I was like, okay, whatever.
Speaker 1: But the main reason I wanted to go out there
Speaker 1: last year in twenty twenty two is I had known
Speaker 1: Joe Madden when he was a coach with the Angels
Speaker 1: and he was back and I wanted to. I wanted
Speaker 1: to talk to Madden and catch up with him. He's
Speaker 1: long gone, but anyway, I'm back in the good graces
Speaker 1: of the Angels. So the protest worked. It was a
Speaker 1: bloodless activity, Danny. There was no blood that was drawn.
Speaker 1: It was It was not a full insurrection or a
Speaker 1: mutiny or anything like that. And I liked it better
Speaker 1: when you talked full on shit about the Angels. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'll still talk shit about the Angels, but I will
Speaker 1: not talk shit about their pr staff at all. Wonderful people.
Speaker 1: And uh now there is one complaint I have, not
Speaker 1: only for the Angels but the Dodgers. And this will
Speaker 1: likely be seen as petty and you listing will say, oh, Mallard,
Speaker 1: you're just being a tight wide, You're being a cheapass.
Speaker 1: So the other day I had a double header. I
Speaker 1: wanted to take care of a lot of this stuff.
Speaker 1: When you're in the in the media and you're lucky
Speaker 1: enough to go to these games, you have to pick
Speaker 1: up your credentials Otherwise if you don't pick them up
Speaker 1: in advance, it becomes a big, big shit show. So
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, I'll pick these up early,
Speaker 1: and I got up I only got a few hours
Speaker 1: to sleep. I think this was on Wednesday, you know,
Speaker 1: I think it was on Tuesday. I don't even know
Speaker 1: what day it was. It's back on Tuesday. So I
Speaker 1: got up early. I drove to Dodger Stadium and the
Speaker 1: Dodgers were not playing that day, and I picked up
Speaker 1: my my past and I asked the young lady in
Speaker 1: the pr booth, I said, can you can you give me?
Speaker 1: Is there a lanyard? And she kind of rudely said no,
Speaker 1: we don't provide lane And I said, okay, Well that's
Speaker 1: that's that's odd. I've been been here for twenty five
Speaker 1: years or whatever it is. I've never had a problem
Speaker 1: getting one from the Dodge. But I guess now you
Speaker 1: times are tough in these you know, economic times we
Speaker 1: live in, and so okay. So I then get back
Speaker 1: and I'm literally at Dodger Stadium for five minutes. I
Speaker 1: pull into the parking lot in the in the lot,
Speaker 1: it's uh, I figured what a lot. It was like
Speaker 1: a lot seven or something. I pull in, I'm out done,
Speaker 1: go down to Anai. Takes me an hour and a
Speaker 1: half to get the Anaheim from Dodger Stadium rush hour
Speaker 1: I'm surprised I got there that fast. So I go,
Speaker 1: Angels are actually playing the Dodgers in an exhibition, so whatever,
Speaker 1: I go up, say, hey, I'm so and so you
Speaker 1: know I'm here to pick up my pass. Who exactly?
Speaker 1: So you're the guy that ripped the shit out of us? Yeah? No,
Speaker 1: so I think I was the guy was totally cool whatever.
Speaker 1: It gave me the pass. So I said, okay, cool,
Speaker 1: Can I get a lanyard? No, we don't provide lanyards,
Speaker 1: So neither the Dodgers or the Angels will provide a lanyard.
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, these passes you have to wear it
Speaker 1: all time because of Major League Baseball security, you need
Speaker 1: a lanyard for the passes. So like, what the fuck
Speaker 1: is that? So then I tech my friend Bob Bob
Speaker 1: Fesco in Kansas City. I said, hey, Bob, there's apparently
Speaker 1: a Major League Baseball policy to not provide lanyards. And
Speaker 1: I was like, it was just it's it's a nuisance, Dan,
Speaker 1: It's an annoyance, right, It's one of those things in life.
Speaker 1: How hard is it to get a box of lanyards?
Speaker 1: So this is an inconvenience, and you know it's I
Speaker 1: realize it's insignificant. I get that. I'm not naive too.
Speaker 1: It's it's just a minor inconvenience, one of those small
Speaker 1: annoyances of life. So I understand that part of it.
Speaker 1: So I had text my friend Bob. I go on
Speaker 1: to show every every Thursday, we yap. And so about
Speaker 1: a half hour later, my friend Bob text me back.
Speaker 1: He says, I just picked up my Royals pass. I
Speaker 1: have a lanyard. The Royals provide a lanyard. So we
Speaker 1: have determined the Royals are more of a big League
Speaker 1: team than the Dodgers of the Angels. They're more the
Speaker 1: media friendly. And that is a full endorsement of the
Speaker 1: Royals because my friend Bob did not have that annoyance.
Speaker 1: He did not have that irritation. It's like a mosquito bite.
Speaker 1: He did not have that because the Royals, who fucking suck,
Speaker 1: took care of their report. So the Royals are on
Speaker 1: the road. No, no, the Royals are having their problems
Speaker 1: on the road. Royals having their problems on the road.
Speaker 1: I'm Ben Malick, Great, what did you do? Did you
Speaker 1: go back to your old stash of passes and find
Speaker 1: some lanyards that fit. I think that's probably what you did,
Speaker 1: because cheap to order new ones off of Amazon. No.
Speaker 1: But but Bob did tell me that Amazon has a
Speaker 1: good deal on Neil lanyards that if I wanted one,
Speaker 1: But yeah, I had, I had to go back. I
Speaker 1: have a box where I'd throw a lot of these
Speaker 1: things from years past, and so I think I took
Speaker 1: a acre pass when Kobe was on Shack. We're on
Speaker 1: the team, and I took the lanyard off that and
Speaker 1: repurpose it. Anybody on the Clippers is a half of
Speaker 1: what Kobe Bryant is, which is Okay, I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: is it really that hard? You're a multi billion dollar
Speaker 1: baseball team. You're giving an item out that needs a lanyard?
Speaker 1: Am I a dick? Yeah? Let me know and email
Speaker 1: me or post something on let me know if I'm
Speaker 1: a dick in dating. Okay, So I did all that.
Speaker 1: There were no flashing lights, but there are plenty of
Speaker 1: flashing lights out there in the world. Any plenty of
Speaker 1: flashing lights. I drove up to Oxnard, California last Saturday
Speaker 1: because I wanted to surprise my wife. He's oldest kid
Speaker 1: with a new stereo in his car. I am single
Speaker 1: handedly keeping FM and AM radio alive. Ben Good, we
Speaker 1: need that. Yeah. His first car is a two thousand
Speaker 1: and nine Corolla. He just started college. The radio inside
Speaker 1: his car, though, was a piece of crap. But he
Speaker 1: was nice enough to let me borrow his car. When
Speaker 1: I was in between car dealerships just a few months back.
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, you know, a nice gesture would
Speaker 1: be to put a little sound system in his car.
Speaker 1: So I took his car. So he thinks we're just
Speaker 1: taking it to the dealership to get the tires adjusted. Instead,
Speaker 1: I made an appointment with Best Spy and I drove
Speaker 1: it up there. I got a nice Sony stereo flat
Speaker 1: screen with some nice JBL speakers in the doors. Bloom.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, his sounds in the car are
Speaker 1: going to be legit boomy. How many miles are on me?
Speaker 1: I'm curious how many miles, oh Man on his Corolla?
Speaker 1: Two hundred and fourteen thousand miles. How many miles can
Speaker 1: those things go before they completely die? Three hundred thousand miles. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you take care of it and you get it maintenanced. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he still has a little bit of life. Left in it.
Speaker 1: But I'm figured, even though this car probably doesn't have
Speaker 1: very many years left, why not have some nicer speakers
Speaker 1: in there and Apple car Play, which is a must nowadays.
Speaker 1: If you don't have Apple car Play, I don't even
Speaker 1: know how you're alive right now. I don't have I
Speaker 1: don't have a Well, why is it so good? Do
Speaker 1: you connect it to your iPhone and everything is out
Speaker 1: of touch of the screen right in front of you,
Speaker 1: and everything is voice controlled, And it's just it's just
Speaker 1: super convenient for your music and everything else media, especially
Speaker 1: when you listen to podcasts while you drive and things
Speaker 1: like that. So now he has that capability, which is
Speaker 1: really nice. But I had to kill some time because
Speaker 1: I dropped the car off at the Best Buy installation bay.
Speaker 1: It's an eleven fifteen am appointment and the guy tells
Speaker 1: me gonna need to come back in about two and
Speaker 1: a half three hours. So I grab my backpack and
Speaker 1: I am on foot in Oxnard. Man, I'm walking down
Speaker 1: Rose Avenue. I used to live there back in the
Speaker 1: days to program radio in that area back in the day,
Speaker 1: so I know my way around that city. Um So
Speaker 1: the first thing I do is go score some drugs.
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. So you went and worked out where the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys work out. That's the training camp, home of
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboy. That's Jerry's world on the West coast.
Speaker 1: Come on, oh, you're not kiddy man. I there were
Speaker 1: some nights where I was inside the Spearmint Rhino with
Speaker 1: Emmett Smith, bunch of hookers and cocaine. So years later
Speaker 1: when I saw Emmett, we were like, hey, Spearmint Rhino
Speaker 1: at broadcast. Do you remember that? I do? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's why he was looking at me funny. When
Speaker 1: we saw him on Radio Row, He's like, I know
Speaker 1: you now, Danny Way, Just for the for the record,
Speaker 1: you were the job morant of your day. You party
Speaker 1: of like John Moran of the Memphis Christon. Yes, except
Speaker 1: it was a pellet gun I had in my waistband. Yes,
Speaker 1: and it was not fifty thousand large. It was monopoly money,
Speaker 1: but it was close and it was you had some
Speaker 1: Mickey Mouse dollars mixed in there, right. Yeah. Yeah. Now
Speaker 1: I had to figure out how to kill some time.
Speaker 1: I did have some work to do. Well, let me
Speaker 1: find a Starbucks. I can get onto their WiFi and
Speaker 1: you know, handle this business. I have left for editing.
Speaker 1: As I find the Starbucks band which is about two
Speaker 1: full blocks away from the best Buy, I noticed that
Speaker 1: there's a shiny Walmart in the corner, not just a Walmart,
Speaker 1: a shiny Walmart, and the parking lot is jam packed,
Speaker 1: and I was like, well, this must be a good Walmart.
Speaker 1: Now I don't know about you. Well I do know
Speaker 1: about you. You don't mind the lights inside Walmart, which
Speaker 1: bothered me and a lot of other people. You're like,
Speaker 1: my wife's the same way. I like a deal. I
Speaker 1: enjoy a deal, and you get the most bang for
Speaker 1: your bucket Walmart. And I also enjoy people watching, even
Speaker 1: though I'm an introvert and I don't really like talking
Speaker 1: to strangers. I like walking around and looking at the freaks.
Speaker 1: It's like I'm on Fremont Street in Vague or Atlantic City,
Speaker 1: or New Orleans or South Beach at a Walmart. It's amazing,
Speaker 1: and these people live amongst us, Danny, It's fascinating, and
Speaker 1: they likely look at me and say, look at that fatass.
Speaker 1: He lives amongst us. Also, we all have the same thought.
Speaker 1: We're like, Okay, these are these amazing Piet pull. How
Speaker 1: weird they look. It was great to see Pooh. You
Speaker 1: know there's been some weather phenomenon happening in our state
Speaker 1: over the past couple of months. This won't surprise you.
Speaker 1: The power went off. Oh yes, now waiting, it's kind
Speaker 1: of flickering, so it's the lights are flashing. I'm wondering
Speaker 1: if like a backup generation is gonna go on. Probably
Speaker 1: not the best place to be inside a ghetto fied
Speaker 1: Walmart with no lights on. That would not go so well, shit,
Speaker 1: are people gonna start looting this place? Yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you. Did people start grabbing shit?
Speaker 1: Because they do it when the lights are on. I
Speaker 1: can only imagine with the lights flickering and lights off
Speaker 1: and emergency lights, they would they would have a field day.
Speaker 1: The two minutes felt like ten minutes. Finally the lights
Speaker 1: come back on, but it's it's kind of like a
Speaker 1: dim light, so I'm guessing it was a backup generator.
Speaker 1: This is the first time I can actually spend a
Speaker 1: half hour inside a Walmart and not feel sick when
Speaker 1: I leave. Oh, come on, Danny, don't be a lightweight
Speaker 1: day and he's just lights? Who the hell cares come on.
Speaker 1: So I went to the baby section. I found an
Speaker 1: infant sized Dodger baby shirt, and that was my big
Speaker 1: purchase inside that Walmart. When I got to the front,
Speaker 1: the girl at the cash register, she said, I hope
Speaker 1: the lights come back on all the way because I
Speaker 1: think a couple of people already ran out at the
Speaker 1: front with some merchandise. Now, let the record show I'd
Speaker 1: paid for the baby Dodgers shirt that I got. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it was my probably my most favorite experience inside of
Speaker 1: Walmart so far in my life. Now, how much baby
Speaker 1: stuff have you purchased, Danny, Because you've got for those.
Speaker 1: I get email from people, give me an update. We're
Speaker 1: not get an update on the little Danny j We're
Speaker 1: not getting update on that. She is now twenty two
Speaker 1: weeks pregnant, so we're over the halfway mark. Okay, the
Speaker 1: baby is due at the very end of July, coming up.
Speaker 1: That's acts. It seems like far away, but it'll be
Speaker 1: here before you know it. Yeah, they always say think
Speaker 1: ahead when you buy the clothes because everybody gives you
Speaker 1: like the newborn clothes, the newborn clothes, but the baby
Speaker 1: grows out of those imediately, so you only need a
Speaker 1: few of those outfits. So everything I've been buying right
Speaker 1: now are outfits that are like eighteen months and older. Okay,
Speaker 1: how long do they stay in those? Untill about kindergarten?
Speaker 1: Baby Huey pret modern pregnancy, like there were times like
Speaker 1: women were pregnant sometimes and we still see these stories
Speaker 1: like they don't even know they're pregnant then like the
Speaker 1: kid will end up all right. I don't see how
Speaker 1: that is even possible not know that there's something swimming
Speaker 1: around inside your stomach, like the baby kicks and moves
Speaker 1: all the time. You'd have to be a retard. That
Speaker 1: was Danny g Radio. That was not me. I was daying. Okay,
Speaker 1: you'd have to, let me rephrase, You'd have to be
Speaker 1: very special to not know that there's something inside of
Speaker 1: you growing. Yeah, I would tend to agree with you.
Speaker 1: And maybe I'm wrong on this, But as I understand
Speaker 1: and my recollection Danny, is that many of the people,
Speaker 1: the ladies that have had this happen to them, let's
Speaker 1: just say they're a little disheveled. They don't necessarily take
Speaker 1: care of themselves, and they they've enjoyed a few hearty
Speaker 1: meals over the years. Okay, what do they think that
Speaker 1: that's gas inside their stomachs moving around and kicking them? Oh,
Speaker 1: I need some pepto. I just got kicked. They must
Speaker 1: have horrendous gas before they got pregnant. That's the only
Speaker 1: logical conclusion one could make that that's that's what happened.
Speaker 1: So yeah, because now we're at the stage where we
Speaker 1: can finally feel the baby's kick from the outside. So
Speaker 1: if I touch your stomach, I can feel the baby kick. Tibo,
Speaker 1: slap me around a little bit. You don't know you're
Speaker 1: getting kicked by a little baby inside of you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's pretty wild. I agree with you, all right. At
Speaker 1: turning the page show we got a little time less,
Speaker 1: so we got a lot to get to it a
Speaker 1: little time, which is amazing. I always think, oh, man,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna have enough stuff for the podcast, Danny,
Speaker 1: and then we always end up having too much stuff.
Speaker 1: Why is that, Danny? Why can't we not just have
Speaker 1: just enough stuff? Because one of the most interesting men
Speaker 1: in the world. Yeah, sure, all right, So the backscratcher,
Speaker 1: the backscratcher. You scratch our back, we scratch your back.
Speaker 1: We are happy to report Danny this week I hope
Speaker 1: you're ready. Get your nee pads ready, Danny, Are you ready?
Speaker 1: I'm ready. We are going to be scratching. No one's back,
Speaker 1: no one. We pitched a shutout, a perfect game, none,
Speaker 1: just in time for baseball season. Yeah. We are still
Speaker 1: eleven ratings away, eleven from a new round number that
Speaker 1: we've gotten a lot over the years, not as many
Speaker 1: as a lot of other podcasts, but we're only a
Speaker 1: weekend podcast, eleven away from four hundred. We can do it.
Speaker 1: We can do it. Pick it up. We need to
Speaker 1: help on this. The Apple podcast pages in the description,
Speaker 1: Danny and also Scott Shapiro, Don Martin give us a
Speaker 1: gold watch for four hundred. Nice, Yeah makes gold watches.
Speaker 1: Rob Parker told me that a gold watch unless he
Speaker 1: did Unless I made that up. Pop goes the culture,
Speaker 1: and that means ohio owoo, all right, thank you, ohio
Speaker 1: ow And here some crazy pop culture related stories. Remember
Speaker 1: that con artist that went viral because of a couple
Speaker 1: of documentaries, The Fire Festival, Billie McFarlane, Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: saw that. Yeah, The Fire Festival was a great documentary.
Speaker 1: So Billy McFarland went to jail and now he is
Speaker 1: back for nearly nineteen thousand dollars. Billy McFarlane is going
Speaker 1: to spill the tea in Germany. McFarland known as a
Speaker 1: con man who was able to swindle more than twenty
Speaker 1: six million dollars before he was even thirty years old,
Speaker 1: and he's going to be hanging out here. In the
Speaker 1: month of April, he'll be making an appearance at something
Speaker 1: called the Entrepreneur University Founder's Summit in Germany, and he
Speaker 1: intends to share his side of the fiasco and what
Speaker 1: happened there. He owes twenty six million dollars. You imagined
Speaker 1: owing twenty six million dollars. Man, I'm stressed out and
Speaker 1: I only owe a couple of thousand dollars to credit cards.
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. And the way this works, he's spilling his
Speaker 1: guts and all that. And he said the hotel, airfare
Speaker 1: and taxes will be paid. All that will be will
Speaker 1: be taken care of. For McFarlane, he'll end up out
Speaker 1: of the nineteen thousand, he'll end up keeping two thousand,
Speaker 1: three hundred for himself. He also has to pay seven thousand,
Speaker 1: four hundred ninety two dollars will go towards the twenty
Speaker 1: six million, So that'll go a long way to help
Speaker 1: out that. The people that are owed money, what do
Speaker 1: you what do they all get like a check in
Speaker 1: the mail for three cents. Yeah, it's like when you're
Speaker 1: part of those class action lawsuits and you end up
Speaker 1: getting like a dollar fifty or something like that and
Speaker 1: the lawyer ends up getting seven thousand dollars. Next up,
Speaker 1: Peter Pop goes the culture animal rights group PETE a
Speaker 1: second straight podcast Peter is part of. They are demanding
Speaker 1: the ban on a bunch of sporting terms that we use. Danny.
Speaker 1: They're say they're they're disrespectful sporting terms. Among them, they're
Speaker 1: all animals sporting terms. They include worm burner. They want
Speaker 1: that's a tennis term. I believe worm burner. They want
Speaker 1: to get rid of that. Uh, there's all a badminton
Speaker 1: players should never describe a shuttle hit hit out of
Speaker 1: play as a dead bird their offinitive up. Oh, I
Speaker 1: guess wormburner is a golf term. I thought it was
Speaker 1: a tenn term, So no worm burner. They also here's
Speaker 1: one that will warm you up. They want it was
Speaker 1: a shuttlecock one. The uh, well, the bad mitten one.
Speaker 1: They say players should never describe a shuttle cock hit
Speaker 1: out of play as a dead bird needs to be
Speaker 1: called dead cock. Well, yeah, you could say there goes
Speaker 1: the cock. You could say that cockadoodle. Du that's a drop. No,
Speaker 1: it's not, No, it is not. H And at tennis,
Speaker 1: the hot dog shot used by Roger Federer and others,
Speaker 1: where the balls hit between the player's legs, they called
Speaker 1: the hot dog shot. Peter says it should be called
Speaker 1: the vegan hot dog. Well, I'm not. I swear to God,
Speaker 1: i am not. This is an actual story. Uh. And
Speaker 1: they say that the bulls eye in darts this is
Speaker 1: an onion story. It is not, they say. They say
Speaker 1: the bulls eye and darts should be renamed, and they
Speaker 1: are worried that anyone thinks it refers to an actual bull. Yeah.
Speaker 1: This is the campaign from the People for the Ethical
Speaker 1: Treatment of Animals. Peter list of sporting terms they want overhauled.
Speaker 1: This is this is wonderful, this is so. This is
Speaker 1: why nobody takes them seriously. All right, this is why
Speaker 1: nobody takes seriously seriously ahead of a boat race. Just recently,
Speaker 1: Peter also wrote to a British rowing outfit calling for
Speaker 1: an end to the obscure rowing term catch a crab.
Speaker 1: They want that. They want that going away. Like when
Speaker 1: COVID and when we were on Southern California locked Down.
Speaker 1: We got that list of approved sports and badminton was
Speaker 1: on there, but tennis wasn't. It was so stupid. The
Speaker 1: whole list was dumb. That's what this reminds me of
Speaker 1: boxing terms that are on the list. Peter suggested they
Speaker 1: get rid of rabbit punches. You can't have a rabbit
Speaker 1: punch in boxing, and spinebreaker. They do not want spinebreaker
Speaker 1: to be final. You know, they want nothing to do
Speaker 1: with that. They said. Since throwing a rabbit punch is
Speaker 1: already banned in boxing and other fightings sports, why not
Speaker 1: retire the phrase? They claim? And I mean, this is
Speaker 1: so stupid. And there you go, Peter pet I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's on your list of allowed meats, but
Speaker 1: eat a dick. Well, it turns out that Twitter's boss,
Speaker 1: Elon Musk, is a full of dogshit, not literally, of course,
Speaker 1: but it's been revealed that Twitter actually does have a
Speaker 1: secret VIP list that Elon Musk has said he wants
Speaker 1: to treat everyone equal. Well, not so fast, my friend.
Speaker 1: It turns out that there is a cool kids club
Speaker 1: at Twitter. I wonder if Joe Rogan's on that. You
Speaker 1: think Joe Rogan made the cut. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: have no idea. But there is a VIP list. This
Speaker 1: report claims Twitter has this list. There's around thirty five
Speaker 1: VIP users. The tweets of these individs jewels get a
Speaker 1: boost from the algorithm if they drop. So it's the
Speaker 1: way to do it. I'd heard years ago from someone
Speaker 1: that a lot of certain sportscasters who worked at a
Speaker 1: fledgling cable network in Connecticut, Danny were put in to
Speaker 1: this wild and crazy algorithm where they ended up picking
Speaker 1: up three, four or five, six, seven hundred thousand followers
Speaker 1: automatically just having their name in this very special list.
Speaker 1: And so so many people that worked at this small
Speaker 1: cable outfit in Connecticut ended up with all these followers
Speaker 1: because they were in on Twitter early the company they
Speaker 1: worked for and they took care of them. Speaking of that,
Speaker 1: did you see that Elon Musk has passed Barack Obama?
Speaker 1: He is the most followed person on Twitter. Now, I
Speaker 1: wonder how that happened. Did you see how he he
Speaker 1: sent an email to all his employees saying you got
Speaker 1: to show up in person at your job now. He
Speaker 1: does not want people working from home anymore, no more.
Speaker 1: Good luck on that. Good luck on that. Although tech
Speaker 1: has cut back a lot, Facebook and the tech industry,
Speaker 1: it's no longer the boom times in tech. Now they've
Speaker 1: got to approve, they've got to pacify Wall Street. So
Speaker 1: good luck on that. I'm assuming Covino and rich on
Speaker 1: your show, Danny that you work on that they talked
Speaker 1: about the serial sperm donor did that come up in
Speaker 1: conversation this week? That didn't come up? No? Really, No, Oh,
Speaker 1: that's a wild story. This guy has fathered five hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty kids. Yeah, I read this story pretty creepy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: This guy's a musician. He's a Dutch musician and one
Speaker 1: of the all time great masturbaters of our time. He's
Speaker 1: a master and just a master better around five kids.
Speaker 1: He's forty one years old. He's donated sperm to at
Speaker 1: least thirteen clinics, including eleven in the Netherlands. He is blacklisted.
Speaker 1: He's been blacklisted for six years because he's he's fathered.
Speaker 1: According to the Times of London, he's fathered one hundred
Speaker 1: and two kids in the Netherlands and the guide he
Speaker 1: lives in Kenya. Now he lives in Kenya. But they're
Speaker 1: worried about incests because all these these kids are gonna
Speaker 1: grow up and then they're gonna have kids, and they're
Speaker 1: gonna start hooking up and they're not gonna realize they're
Speaker 1: hooking up with their brother or their sister or their
Speaker 1: half brother half sister. That's pretty pretty crazy, man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: makes it creepy. How many times do you think he's
Speaker 1: donated the U the tartar sauce to get to that
Speaker 1: level five hundred and fifty. How many you think you
Speaker 1: think he's gone three hundred times, two hundred times. I
Speaker 1: think he's only gone like fifteen times. Will you say
Speaker 1: to your new girlfriend, hey, baby, and it turns out
Speaker 1: she's your baby sister? Dude? Oh, there's day new Prediction
Speaker 1: on the Future Danny on Pop goes the culture New
Speaker 1: Prediction on the Future. It says experts have revealed that
Speaker 1: workplace is what they're gonna look like in twenty fifty,
Speaker 1: including holographic receptionist. So you're gonna go into a dentist
Speaker 1: office and there'll be a hologram. Welcome to the dentist's office.
Speaker 1: You're buying that that'side of like Star Star Wars or
Speaker 1: something like that, isn't it. It better be a hologram
Speaker 1: of the beautiful Aliah or somebody like that. Make it
Speaker 1: a singer or an actress that's passed away way too soon.
Speaker 1: That would be cool. Yeah, would you want to be
Speaker 1: a hologram? Danny? When you're gone? You could just live
Speaker 1: on forever as a hologram. Brought me up against the jukebox.
Speaker 1: When I die there you go. All right? They can
Speaker 1: copy my voice and just the Ben Maller Show could
Speaker 1: go on for thousands of years if they just have
Speaker 1: AI use my voice, and then we just keep doing
Speaker 1: the show and I won't be around, but there'll be
Speaker 1: an automatic version of me or an audio recreation of
Speaker 1: my voice. Our last one on pop goes to culture
Speaker 1: and we'll have to push We're never gonna get rid
Speaker 1: of you. We'll push back the scientifically. Why don't we
Speaker 1: do that on the Sunday podcast? Is that good for you?
Speaker 1: I think that Yeah, that works. I'll have a little
Speaker 1: time on Sunday before we get to the mail bag.
Speaker 1: So this comes from the art world. They have determined
Speaker 1: how famous painters back in the day we're able to
Speaker 1: create these works of art that and protect them from
Speaker 1: wrinkling in humidity. And they've determined that Leonardo da Vinci,
Speaker 1: among others, added something that we still have to this day.
Speaker 1: We still use these a lot in the kitchen. Added
Speaker 1: this to oil paintings. And the experts studied the effects
Speaker 1: of adding these this item, and it turns out the
Speaker 1: technique helped overcome issues with humidity, wrinkling and yellowing. That
Speaker 1: item danny egg yolks. So Leonardo da Vinci figured out
Speaker 1: that by adding egg yolks it would it would work.
Speaker 1: Wonders for the painting. That's that's wild, that's in the
Speaker 1: fifteen fifteen hundreds. What did he do? Did he put
Speaker 1: it on the brush, mix it in the paint, put
Speaker 1: it on the palette. I'm not sure exactly what he did.
Speaker 1: I don't think they know for sure what he did,
Speaker 1: but said adding egg yolk. Has found that it provided
Speaker 1: stiff paints with strong imposto, being able to layer it
Speaker 1: on thickly and prevented wrinkling on the surface. And try
Speaker 1: he discovered the water uptake from human environments such as
Speaker 1: where Da Vinci lived, can be suppressed with the egg
Speaker 1: proteins formed a they formed a thin layer around the
Speaker 1: particles of the paint pigment. So all right, crazy, I
Speaker 1: wonder how he figured that out. You think he figured
Speaker 1: it out on his own, or is it possible, Danny,
Speaker 1: that alien creatures helped him out. Doo doo doo doo
Speaker 1: doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.
Speaker 1: George Nori. Yeah, all right, let's get out, Danny. Anything
