Today we have the mail Bag coming up. 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:50.600 If you would like to send a letter in to 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:52.559 a future edition of the mail Bag, you can do 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:56.080 that care of Real Fifth Hour at gmail dot com. 0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.760 That's Real Fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Would that 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:04.000 being said, ohio al, please get me in the mood. 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:20.040 It's in this mail bag. Very good. These are actual 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.039 letters by actual listeners. We have not done the mail 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:25.839 Bag in a couple of weeks, and we are back 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.919 at it here today. So the first one up from 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:33.080 Andy from South Carolina Wrights and he says, hey, Ben, 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:38.640 Are you mourning that this is the last Sunday of 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:42.120 the NFL regular season? Which is what I just said, Andy, 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.959 but you're not listening because it's a podcast. No, to 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.960 answer to the question, I am not mourning that this 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:53.880 is the last Sunday of the NFL regular season. I 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:57.240 have been around a couple of years, and while we 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:01.400 love the NFL, it's exceptional for business, it's absolutely fantastic 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:09.200 and all of that, the silly season is also exceptionally 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:14.280 good and often often just as good, just as good 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:20.240 because you have the I'm sorry to phrase it, in 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:25.480 the offseason. No one really loses, right. People think that 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:28.080 they might their team might be losing, but there's always 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:32.480 this cock eyed optimism which has always been mind blowing 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.919 to me. So No, and the NFL regular season ends today. 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.640 We have the playoffs, which are fun, right, We like 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.519 the playoffs. Those are always good. There'll be some breath 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:46.400 taking moments in the playoffs, electrifying games, and there'll be 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.519 a lot of bad games as we navigate our way 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.519 through the playoffs, and some of the takes that we've 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:55.960 had all year will be validated, which is always fun 0:02:56.240 --> 0:03:01.240 hot take validation, and then we'll slide into the coaching 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.760 mary go round the coaching carousel, as we like to 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:08.919 call it, and then the NFL combine, and then certain events, 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:14.440 these pillars of the NFL offseason. So we'll be okay, Andy, 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.359 we'll be fine. And the good news about this being 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.640 the last Sunday in the NFL, you don't have to 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.560 watch the Raiders play or the Jets play, not that 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:26.639 we watch them play anyway any reasonable person, though any 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:28.920 reasonable person would say, well, it's good not to have 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:33.200 to watch, even by chance stumbling onto a Raiders or 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:36.520 Jets gime. So but thanks for your concern, Andy, I 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:40.040 appreciate that now there are people that do what I 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.240 do for a living that are not on the same page. 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.600 That they will not know what to do with themselves 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:51.960 once the NFL winds down, and they'll be scrambling and 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:55.920 trying to adjust and all of that. But we don't 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.680 have that problem. We don't. Next up on the mail 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:05.240 bag is Jade, a wingman from just outside Knoxville, Tennessee. 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.880 He says it was a bummer hearing that Big Sexy 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:13.240 about Big Sexy on the fifth hour, he said, but 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:16.200 I'm glad that you told the story as it was 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:19.280 from before my time as a listener. JT says. The 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.720 last several years have brought many great losses to the 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:26.600 Valord Militia, and you are right, Overnight radio is different. 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:31.719 JT says. The reason it's a militia is because we 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:36.360 kind of have a bind together, even if we are 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.960 all from different backgrounds and places. Yeah, that's the magic 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:40.400 of it, right, We all kind of come together. We 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.760 have one common goal, which is trying to stay awake 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:48.279 at night and maybe even talk from sports. So the 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.560 email continues from JT. So that being said, what else 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:55.240 in your life gives you fulfillment like the time you 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:59.000 spend talking into the microphone, be it live radio or 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:02.440 a podcast, JT says, For me, even though I spend 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.520 so many hours behind the wheel of a truck, I 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.479 love to get out on my Harley and take on 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:13.599 the open road, this time taking in God's beauty and 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:19.000 enjoying the fresh air. That's wonderful. There you go, and 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:21.599 he says he he says, a great Sunday. Look forward 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:25.920 to listening to the live show when you return from 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:29.279 a well deserved break. That's our buddy, JT. The wingman 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.160 who's been to a bunch of Mallard meet and greets 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.159 over the years. Hopefully we'll run into JT at some 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:38.240 point here in twenty twenty six, with tentative plans to 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.520 have several big Mallard meet and greets all over the place, 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.960 depending on a few other things, but some of these 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.560 will definitely happen, And whether all of them happen, my 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:53.520 guess is based on past experience. Probably not, because people 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.560 flake and things happen and whatnot. But we will get 0:05:56.560 --> 0:06:00.720 out and about and hang out with you, hopefully JT 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:02.440 and some of the other guys. As far as what 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:06.720 gives me fulfillment in my time, I don't know if 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:10.800 there's any one thing. I spend so much of my 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:15.400 time JT preparing for the radio show or podcasts or 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.800 things like that, so I don't have too much free time. 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:19.440 I've had a lot of free time the last couple 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:23.480 of weeks because of limited work, although I've still been 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.440 doing Benny Versus the Penny, which is a labor of love, 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.400 more so this year than in years past. Benny Versus 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.359 the Penny on YouTube you can still watch that. For 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:36.320 the final Sunday of the NFL regular season, we'll be 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:41.160 back for the playoffs next week. But I enjoyed looking 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.960 and traveling around. I don't get out on the road 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.400 and drive just to drive. I don't have a Harley. 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:51.599 I'm not a Harley guy. JT the Wingman. But I 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.640 do like traveling and seeing new places, and spend a 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:56.240 lot of time in the last couple weeks catching up 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:57.960 with some family. So that's been a lot of fun 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:03.359 and it gives me some level of fulfillment. Ferg Dog 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:06.720 writes in from the winter wonderland of Fullerton. He says, 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:10.680 happy New Year, Ben and Danny G. This email might 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.640 seem a little familiar, but last time I sent it, 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:19.240 Danny G accidentally nuked the podcast, So just act like 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.960 it's the first time you're reading it all. I will 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.080 pretend that I have not seen this email, and hopefully 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:29.040 this one will actually make the podcast. We'll see stay 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:33.520 tuned developing hot dot dot dot. Ferg Doog says, you 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.360 were not wrong, Ben, when you go on vacation, I 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.600 go on vacation. The second I hear and sitting in 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:43.440 for Big Ben in the intro, I immediately turn off 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:47.040 the radio. I don't even stick around long enough to 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:50.920 find out who's filling in, Ferg Dog says, like you 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.920 always say, the most valuable thing people have is their time. 0:07:55.680 --> 0:08:00.480 It's not my money, it's your time. He said, h 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:03.520 this is not money, it's your time. And I choose 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:07.120 not to spend my free time listening to blank blank 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:11.200 blank blank. I hope you understand you are free to 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.559 do what you want. For a dog, you are free. 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:17.240 Although I do think I still get credit, although it's 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:21.760 kind of weird over the holidays, if people are listening. However, 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.680 I would imagine that if the numbers go down when 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.160 I'm not there, that's not a bad thing, meaning that 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.400 the company knows the value of the person that normally 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.439 hosts the show. But I have no idea how all 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:36.840 that works, he says. Have you guys heard about this company? Heleon, 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:41.400 they're great. I get all my Flintstone vitamins from them. 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.280 Do you take a daily vitamin or do you think 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:51.120 they're a total scam? Says Ferg Dog. Well, even if 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:55.320 they don't work the way they're exactly designed vitamins. I 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:59.319 know the placebo effect is a big thing. That there 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:04.040 are certain vitamins that I take on a semi regular basis. 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:06.000 But if you want me to go on a long 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:10.960 rant about vitamins. This is not going to happen right now, 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.600 not today. Maybe next week or the week after. It 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.960 could happen, but not right now, Lucky Tony writes. In 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:20.600 on the mail bag, he says, Hey, Ben and Danny 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:25.640 g He says, if me going to blank blank on 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:28.760 Veronica Leal, I guess that that must be like a 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:32.800 porn star, right. Can someone help the Bears win it all? 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:36.680 He says. He says, if blah blah blah blah blah, 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:40.320 I will take one for the team. Go Bears. And 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.600 he says, what does twenty twenty six have in common 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.760 with twenty twenty five? Lucky Tony ass He says, David 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.960 Veasse can eat a plate of blank? All right, very nice, 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.959 you're one of my favorite Lucky Tony. Happy New Year 0:09:55.000 --> 0:10:01.440 to you, Lucky Tony, outstanding, wonderful. Next up, mail bag, Eddie, 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.920 not that Eddie, not Eddie from Charlotte, not the guy 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:08.040 that used to work on the show, Eddie from Tampa, writes, 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:12.440 and he says. Scientists have claimed a new dark matter 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:16.480 theory that could explain the existence of a hidden universe. 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.960 It says, Ben, can you please give me some insight 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:26.800 on this. That's from Eddie in Tampa. So I read 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:28.800 the story. I wonder how much of this is bull 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:32.400 crap and how much of this is legit. But the 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:36.880 story said that dark matter, which is a invisible substance 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:40.160 that makes up for five to six of the universe. 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.440 But until now scientists assumed it was created during the 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:48.640 Big Bang, but they have now theorized it could have 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:52.520 very well followed days after the universe again, so like 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:58.160 there's a second there were two big bangs, bang bang 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:00.280 like that, you know. And this is a going to 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:06.240 a University of Texas Austin physicist, So Eddie, the key 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:10.840 part of this is theorized theorized. That's like me giving 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.480 an opinion. This is a theory on what may or 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:18.640 may not have happened, the new dark big Bang theory 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:22.200 and all that. And I continue to go by my 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:26.040 theory that there is a whole lot of other stuff 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:29.439 out there, a lot of things out there. Now. My 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.160 belief is a lot of these critters and creatures that 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:37.319 are flying in the sky at night, and these unidentified 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.840 flying objects are things that are living deep in the oceans. 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:43.480 That's been my theory, My recent theory. I've had that 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:46.320 for the last couple of years, actually longer than that, 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:49.280 longer than that. So there you go. Do they have 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:52.880 to remake Eddie The Big Bang theory to the Two 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:57.320 Big Bangs? Sounds like a movie that Lucky Tony would 0:11:57.400 --> 0:11:59.920 watch in his spare of time, The two Big Bang, 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:02.920 And Lucky Tony's like, well, I'll watch that as long 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:06.280 as the Bears win the Super Bowl. Reggie from Detroit 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:10.920 writes in Good to Hear From Reggie, a regular email 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:15.000 contributor to this podcast. Reggie says, boys, welcome to twenty 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:19.319 twenty six. I wanted to get your thoughts on no 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:23.760 Stradamus and his big predictions for the new year. That's 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:31.360 from Reggie from Motown. I did see this story, Reggie, 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:35.280 although much like the previous story from Eddie the guy 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:40.280 from Tampa who sent a story from a professor or 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:44.839 a psychia psychiatrist, a physicist, there we go, dummy, a 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.480 physicist from the University of Texas talking about two Big Bangs. 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.080 It was that theorized, which is a bit of a 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:57.679 weasel word, theorized. Well, this story, Reggie about Nostradamus, not 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:01.080 nostro genus. He lives in Seattle, but no Damas, and 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:05.959 it says that even though Nostru Damis is known as 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:13.320 the prophet of doom, that he never explicity explicitly wrote 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:17.680 predictions for the year twenty twenty six, which is amusing. 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:22.040 This is in the now full disclosure. Reggie sent me 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:27.600 a story which is from the New York Post, and 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:33.480 Reggie sent me the story and he explained that these 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:37.040 are the big headline here is you know, Nostra Damas 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:41.800 writes predictions for the year twenty twenty six. However, it 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:44.319 says in the fine print, if I'm reading this properly 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:47.559 and it is rather early while we're recording this podcast, 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:54.560 it says that Nostradamis never explicitly wrote predictions for twenty 0:13:54.600 --> 0:14:00.960 twenty six. However, however, a cousin of but however true 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:08.000 believers in the bat blank which means bat shit, they 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:11.360 looked to the number twenty six and they saw the 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:15.559 following disasters. So this is again much like the previous story. 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:19.120 This is a theory, a theory Reggie that says we 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:23.320 are going to have rivers of blood, plagues of bees, 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:28.320 and death by lightning. Ooh, do do do do do 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:29.840 do do do Do Do do do do do do 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.400 do Yes. Well, they call them the prophet of doom. 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:36.440 Are we gonna have rivers of blood? I'm gonna go know. 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.360 Will there be a river that is dyed red? Eh? Yeah? 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:43.080 Likely around February according to my crystal ball, right around 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:48.720 the time that we have fun, fun fun in Valentine's Day. 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.360 A plague of bees. I'm sure at some point there'll 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:54.240 be a bunch of bees that attack someone and they 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:58.080 will die this year because of bees. Death by lightning. Yes, 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:00.640 people will die. They will be hit by lightning. Someone 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:03.720 probably already has been hit by lightning and died. My 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.960 grandfather was hit by lightning. He lived, though he didn't die. 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:09.720 He lived a long life and made it all the 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:11.600 way to the age of ninety and then that was that. 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:15.240 But he did get hit by lightning. Kevin from La 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:20.080 rights in and says exciting news. Ben, I know you 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:23.640 like UFOs. I'd like to hear you host Coast to 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:27.120 Coast sometime for George Norie. Well from your lips to 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.640 God's Ears, Kevin, I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen, 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:31.360 but I wouldn't do it. If they asked me, I 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:33.720 would do it. I would love to sit in and 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:40.680 talk about extraterrestrials and chemtrails and the underworld and all that. Anyway, 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:44.640 Kevin wanted to get our thoughts on an Air Force 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:52.960 nuclear specialist claiming that Donald Trump could release bombshell UFO 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:58.520 pictures soon. This guy named Jean, a national security expert, 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:02.640 and well, I says former ex Air Force nuclear protection 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:07.200 specialist said that the public may at the very least 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:12.480 be given enough to satisfy the collective. Itch is the 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:16.440 way the story was written here. So first of all, Kevin, 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.120 thank you of thinking of me when you think of 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:24.160 UFOs or unidentified flying objects whatever I mean, whatever they're 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:30.360 calling UFOs these days. Donald Trump was president for four years. 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:34.320 He then took a four year break for the weekend 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:37.040 at Bernie's Experience in the White House, and now he's 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:40.920 back and he's heading into another year and so far 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:45.560 nothing And as I understand it, based on watching a 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:49.440 bunch of documentaries and reading some stories on the dark web, 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:53.520 that not only Trump, these photos have been around. Let's 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:56.640 put it that with these photos of whatever that stuff is, 0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:01.000 whatever those things are, has been around since at least 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:04.720 the nineteen forties and so Trump had access to all 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:07.959 that stuff and didn't release it. So I am a 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:11.560 bit skeptical, a bit skeptical that we're gonna see any 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:14.440 any real photographs. And plus with the age of AI, 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:20.160 good luck everyone. So well, that's just AI. And the 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:25.360 same theme continues Kevin, as we had with Reggie from 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:29.240 Detroit and Eddie Getty's in Tampa. Those guys sent stories. 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:32.040 There's a weasel word right here. It's a fun game. 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:34.359 I should I should just do a podcast, spot the 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:38.840 weasel word? Where's the weasel? Pop goes the weasel? Well 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:43.280 in this one, Kevin could is the weasel word? Could? 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:47.639 I could get a daytime show in twenty twenty six 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:52.280 and make legitimate money. I could do that. I'm not, 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:55.439 but I could. I could wake up one morning, get 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.600 a phone call from some corporate muckety muck and say, hey, 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:00.560 we want you to go to the Dreda. So I 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:02.000 don't want to go to the day ship, all right, 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:05.359 we'll pay you what coward's making. Okay, I'm there, sign 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:08.680 me up. I'll change my entire schedule around Rob from 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:10.320 the six one nine. For those who don't know that, 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:14.600 Sundaye go beautiful Sunday A go, Rob writes, and he 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:18.080 says from my old radio stomping rounds, he says, Ben, 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:23.679 I was reading this week about a castle that was 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:27.440 uncovered in France under a hotel, and it made me wonder, 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:31.880 what do you think is under the Malor Mansion? From 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:35.880 your radio friend Rob in the six to one nine. Well, 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:40.199 thank you, Rob, appreciate that. And so what do I 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.400 think is under the Malor Mansion? I'm going to go 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:46.159 out and a limb here and say, a lot of dirt, 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:48.439 a lot of dirt, and if you dig all the 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:52.160 way down, you'll find a willy mammoth. And then if 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:54.240 you keep digging, you'll get to the core of the 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:57.040 earth and there'll be a lot of heat, so we 0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:00.399 are told. Although I still get emails every once in 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:04.200 a while from the Hollow Earth Society. So it is possible, 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:07.240 Rob from the six to one to nine, it is 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:10.800 possible that if you go down far enough, there's a 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:15.320 whole world in the middle of the planet little knowme, 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:20.440 people that live there and live their lives and all that. Now, 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:22.639 as far as the story Rober was referencing, this is 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.880 kind of cool. So there was a fourteenth century castle 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:31.440 that was discovered in the middle of a town, which 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:33.480 is not like a small town, it's a decent sized 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:39.080 town in France. It was situated under the courtyard of 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.720 a hotel. The six hundred and forty year old castle. 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:49.120 Think about that has been confirmed as the Chateau de Hermin. 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:53.199 It was built in the thirteen eighties. Think about that 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:58.159 for a second, by John six the Conquer, John six, 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:03.040 the Conquer. Between these spring in autumn of last year, they 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:09.800 say that the archaeologist, the excavation people carried out an 0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:16.520 excavation by the National Institute of Preventative Archaeological Research. That's 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:19.200 a mouthful in rap is what they're called in rap 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:23.320 And they uncovered it. So my question, and I did 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:25.480 not read the whole story, maybe it's in here rob 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.600 and if somebody knows the answer is like, how does 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:32.000 that stuff happen? Like how does that much dirt? Did 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:34.480 they just bury the castles back in the like the 0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:36.800 fifteen hundreds they say, all right, we're done with this castle, 0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:39.040 let's just put a bunch of dirt on top of it. 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:43.320 Or did land just move around that much? Was there 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:46.719 massive earthquakes or something like? How does that much dirt 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:52.600 get on top of a chateau. I'd love to know that. 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:56.320 I guess I could go down a rabbit hole and 0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:58.720 figure it out myself, but it's more fun just to 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:01.520 have you do the work for me. It is crazy, though, 0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:02.920 And then what do you do with it? Do they 0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:06.840 just leave it and then have like a doorway where 0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:09.760 you can go down and check out the chateau of 0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:15.120 John six the Conqueror. Good nicknames? Good nicknames they had 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:19.800 back in the thirteen hundreds, John six the conquer I wonder, though, 0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:23.399 did they call them by those names or are those 0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:26.160 names that were given to them long after their death? 0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:31.160 Did you have to address John six the Conqueror? Please 0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:34.720 hello John six the Conqueror. Could you call them John? 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:38.639 I don't know. A guy named Dallas writes in on 0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:42.720 the mailbag on the fifth hour. Dallas is from Ohio, 0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:46.560 which is rather odd because he's named Dallas. Anyway, he says, hey, guys, 0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:51.160 I know Danny's a big fan of these I'm assuming 0:21:51.200 --> 0:21:54.480 you are too as well, Ben, but they're dead. He's 0:21:54.480 --> 0:22:00.880 talking about leggings story here says sales overall are dropping 0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:08.160 for the leggings very popular with the ladies. Lulu Man 0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:12.720 laid off one hundred and fifty people in June, I say, 0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:16.640 for a variety of reasons. However, these sales of leggings 0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:19.760 have gone down to the point now according to this 0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:23.679 story that Dallas sent that if you're spotted wearing leggings, 0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:28.600 that you're considered a boomer. So Dallas is Ben and Danny, 0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:33.040 are you mourning the loss of these leggings? Well, Dallas, 0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:37.480 first of all, boots on the ground, traveling around, going 0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:43.720 around to different locations. This story is bull pucky. Bull 0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:46.520 Pucky is what I don't buy it. I don't buy it. 0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:52.960 Lulu Man, the overpriced clothing store. Have they laid off people? 0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:56.640 It's possible, possible people aren't spending the money on their product. 0:22:56.920 --> 0:23:00.680 In terms of seeing leggings, I see them all over 0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:04.320 the place. I don't what has replaced the legging because 0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:06.960 when I go out, I notice it's hard not to notice. 0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:10.080 In certain locations there's a lot of people wearing leggings. 0:23:10.680 --> 0:23:13.760 So I don't buy it, at least not where I am. 0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:18.600 Maybe in Ohio or Arkansas or Kentucky or Tennessee. I 0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:22.400 don't I'm not there. I just know based on my experience. 0:23:22.760 --> 0:23:26.240 This is seems like total nonsense. That's what it sounds 0:23:26.280 --> 0:23:30.119 like to me. All right. Next up, Louis from k 0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:37.200 C rights in and he says, it's a new year, Ben, 0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:42.560 and that means new names. Are you on board with 0:23:42.800 --> 0:23:50.280 the TikTok name game? All right? So Louis sends, there's 0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:53.720 a lot of words. Louis, there's too many words. Just 0:23:53.800 --> 0:23:55.879 sum it up in a couple of sentences. My man, 0:23:57.080 --> 0:24:01.760 let me skim through this, blah blah. So this story 0:24:01.880 --> 0:24:09.359 claims that, according to a baby naming website, the young 0:24:09.800 --> 0:24:16.240 young people in their twenties having kids are dumping the traditional. 0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:21.920 Names like Mike and Dave and I don't know, Samantha 0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:26.159 or Cindy or whatever names you think are normal names, 0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:32.760 and they're choosing names that sound magical, mythical, nostalgic, or 0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:34.000 from TikTok. 0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:44.879 They're using big words, mixing together romancey, ancient epics, pop 0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:48.840 star lore and all kinds of nonsense. I mean, there's 0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:50.439 a lot of big words here that I don't know 0:24:50.440 --> 0:24:53.760 how to say. I don't know how to say. So 0:24:53.800 --> 0:24:57.399 they say there's two waves of names they have noticed here, 0:24:58.600 --> 0:25:07.879 and some of the names are Emery's cassion Aslan Ambrose. 0:25:08.160 --> 0:25:13.280 I feel like I've heard that before, Ali Staire. You've 0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:19.800 got names that are also popping up from let's see here. 0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:27.600 You've got Coda, kaya Jinu, I don't, I don't know 0:25:27.880 --> 0:25:31.320 whatever it is. You know, you called the name a kid, 0:25:31.320 --> 0:25:32.840 and then you hope the kid likes the name, and 0:25:32.880 --> 0:25:34.840 if not, they'll change the name and they'll call them 0:25:35.440 --> 0:25:38.080 they'll be called by nicknames. But I will tell you 0:25:38.720 --> 0:25:40.480 it's a curse to put on a kid. When you 0:25:40.520 --> 0:25:45.320 give a kid a name that is not a standard name, 0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:48.640 that's got a weird spelling, it becomes a huge issue 0:25:49.800 --> 0:25:52.639 in school, you know. You know what I'm saying. Louis 0:25:52.640 --> 0:25:54.960 you feel me on that. Yeah, Like you know, because 0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:58.199 I don't say it, I don't spell it, you know. 0:25:58.600 --> 0:26:01.080 And then also when you go on vacation with the 0:26:01.080 --> 0:26:02.679 family and you try to get one of those do 0:26:02.760 --> 0:26:04.800 they still have those little license plates or the key 0:26:04.920 --> 0:26:07.640 chains with your name on it? And then you're like, hey, 0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:09.919 can I can I get a key chain with my 0:26:10.000 --> 0:26:12.560 name on it when I go to Disney World? Well, no, no, 0:26:12.640 --> 0:26:15.320
