Again, I 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:49.040 haven't had it in a long time. 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:51.800 That is really good.

You still think the Clippers are lob city shut? 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:32.640 How dare you? 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.200 I'm going back. I'm going to Ken Norman.

Or eighties maybe even eighties are here? We 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.200 go mail bag time, mail back, mail back, mail bag. 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:54.360 It's this bag. 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:01.320 I first went up. 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:05.919 Is from our buddy Kwang from he says Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.880 He signed his emails like that anyway, Big Ben and 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.639 Danny g did you hear about the radar study that 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:17.240 reveals a vast subterranean complex beneath the Pyramid of Giza? 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:21.240 And he says how deep it is? And uh in 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:25.000 uh deeper than something I've never heard of in Dubai. 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.680 I guess it's a big building in Dubai. How is 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:33.560 this possible? Quang says, I did see the story. Has 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:37.480 it been verified? There were some people skeptical of whether 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.080 or not that's true or not, whether the story was 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:44.119 accurate or not. But there there must be some amazing 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:52.000 mysteries of the old world. And I'm not like shocked 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.280 that there might be some other I think there's things 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.760 in the oceans that we have no idea these, These 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.120 are a TikTok things that are flying out of the ocean. 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:02.800 I think there's like some species, whether they are from 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:05.080 here originally or they're from somewhere else, that live in 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:06.080 the bottom of the ocean. 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:07.160 I totally buy that. 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.320 I don't think it's outrageous to think there might be some. Now, 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.600 if there is another like sub part of the planet. 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.800 Can you imagine if those people were right, the Hollow 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.200 Earth people that send me emails? Do you imagine, Danny, 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.560 if there's actually a hollow Earth and there's some kind 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.240 of like gremlins and creatures living in the middle of 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.440 the Earth, and they were right, the Hollow Earth people, 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.520 and we all goofed on them all those years. 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:32.120 Man, check this out. This popped up this past week 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:37.200 as well. The James Webb Space Telescope has detective methane 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:42.320 and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of exoplanet K two 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.600 eighteen B, which is located one hundred and twenty light 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:49.960 years from Earth. These findings suggest the planet could be 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:56.360 inhabited with life. It says the detection indicates active chemical 0:04:56.440 --> 0:05:01.200 processes and the possibility of environments conducive for life. Further 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:06.560 observations are planned to explore these prospects. So they think 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:08.440 there's aliens on this planet. 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:10.440 Oh, that's wild. 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:14.719 There's like an equal person beside it and another one inside, 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:15.520 and it has big guys. 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:20.600 They're looking at us coast to coast. It's like that 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:25.479 famous quote. I think it was somebody named Arthur Clark 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.719 who said there are two possibilities that exist. Either we 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.320 are alone in the universe or we are not. Both 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:36.120 are equally terrifying when you think about the reality. I 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.719 don't think I think to think that somehow this is 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:42.479 just it's so crazy when you get out of the 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.240 city lights and you go out and look out to 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.280 the heavens and you see how many stars there are, 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:49.320 and you think there's planets all around those like, there's 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.800 probably tons of life out there far far away, and 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:54.560 the issue is whether or not we can get to 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:59.279 those people they can get to us, And yeah, I buy. Also, 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.760 Quang says, what happened to the backscratcher segment on the 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:03.840 Fifth Hour podcast. 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:05.880 That is a great point, Danny. We have not done 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:06.839 the backscratcher. 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.479 We pretty much gave off because we were getting a 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.240 few and we got to a round number and then 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.200 after that we kind of like we just kind of 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:19.680 stopped doing it. We should bring that back the reviews 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:21.880 on the podcast, and I know I've been trying to 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:28.279 promote the pod on the Overnight Show and mixing that in. 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:31.280 In fact, we just got one a few days ago. 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:34.159 How about this, I'm looking right now on the Apple podcast. 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:37.200 Are you going to do an impromptu backscratcher feature? 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:39.760 I think we should do that right now? Here we 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:41.919 go Backscratcher. 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.680 That was the intro, the old intro. Remember Backscratcher I 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:49.160 made I mean I made that up. There was no introd, 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.479 nothing through Way Nick. 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:53.960 Through Way Nick wrote in this week, he says, I 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:58.320 call myself a PC listener podcast. I'm on the dreaded 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:02.000 day shift, but love the sleep pattern. I started listening 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:07.360 to the Ben Mather Show live just before his nine vacation. 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.240 That's that's why there was a six month, twenty six 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:12.480 day vacation and got hooked upon his return. 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.800 And here I am the fifth hour. 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:19.280 I chase that with a fifth five hour energy, says 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.560 says our guy through Away. Nick. Well, thank you, Nick, 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.200 very kind I appreciate that. That was the first review, 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.640 by the way that we got in like three months. 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:34.200 It had been it had been a minute, Dan, it 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.160 had been a while, but we stopped mentioning it. So 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:39.400 when we stopped mentioning, mentioning the review thing. But that 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:41.840 does help us out, not that we we're up to 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:44.920 where we had four forty something for forty one. I 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:47.880 think it is on the podcast review thing, so we're 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.480 nine away from another round number kind of around number 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:51.120 four fifty. 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.480 Now. Has our overall rating recovered yet from you and 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:56.360 gascon talking politics? 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.760 Ah? Yes, yes, we had Gascon put on the entire 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.920 five news lineup when I was doing the podcast, and 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:04.360 the pod. 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:06.160 Od ratings did not do very well. 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.400 But we are back up to a four point nine 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:10.840 and so that's pretty good, right. We can't go much 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:12.560 higher than that. We're not gonn gonna get a five. 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:17.480 We're never gonna get a five. And yeah, that was 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.040 that was right? That was It was like when was 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:21.720 that COVID I don't know when that was that was. 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.840 It might have been the COVID time you put on. Yeah, 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.560 we just put these guys on. They were fine. I 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:29.520 didn't have a problem with it, but many of you did, 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:34.000 so you let me know you complained and and all that, 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.040 but that does help us out.

I saw this clip on Instagram 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:10.160 of the elephants at the San Diego Zoo and I thought, 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:13.400 of you guys, what do you guys do during the earthquake? So, Nate, 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:14.319 have you seen this video? 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:17.120 I'm sure you guys bight talked about it. The elephants at. 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:20.280 The San Diego Zoo during the earthquake, they formed an 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.600 alert circle. This is wild, dude, this is the animal 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:25.280 Kingdom at its finest right here. 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:29.960 Yes, man, if Clay Travis was doing the Animal Thunderdome 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.800 podcast with me, we would have covered this. And I 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:35.840 got one of those stupid alerts on my phone that 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:39.360 there was an incoming earthquake, and it's said to drop 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:43.040 cover and get ready for an earthquake, And so I 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:44.680 put CoA in the middle of the living room and 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:48.080 I'm waiting, and I'm waiting, and nothing happens. It was 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.080 a false alarm. For how far up north I am 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:52.840 compared to San Diego. 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.560 I actually did wake up because of it. 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.200 I was sleeping during the earthquake, and my wife woke 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.680 me up and said, hey, having an earthquake, and she 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.880 was worried that stuff was gonna fall from the ceiling, 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:06.880 and I was like, dude. 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.760 The anxiety of getting one of those phone alerts before 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:15.160 the earthquake actually hits. They have spent years trying to 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:19.679 get this to where there's some sort of you know, 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:23.839 ramp for us to like be ready, whether it's ten seconds. 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.959 I read something that what they're hoping is they can 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.880 give people at least twenty seconds. That's a dream, I think. 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:33.679 But there's been big earthquakes here. There are bigger earthquakes 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:37.280 in southern California where we had like five seconds before 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:41.680 the earthquake actually happened. So all that does for you 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.200 is maybe gets you away from, you know, where a 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:47.080 mirror is hanging up in your room or something like that. 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:48.599 Maybe you can at least get to a part of 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:50.880 the house where something's not going to crush you to 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:51.400 your death. 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:55.480 Yeah, that was initially these You go, right, I always 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.920 go to the earthquake website they have, I think most 0:11:57.960 --> 0:11:59.400 people do these days, and you go, all, right, well, 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:00.520 how big an earth was that? 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:00.760 You know? 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:02.480 It was that big? You know? Was it was it 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:04.040 a you know seven? 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.120 No, and they always go big. 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.120 It was originally like a six, right, and then it 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.000 went down to like a five or something like that. 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:14.120 This week there was a five point six earthquake in Indonesia. 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:20.559 There was a four point nine. Where was that in Tonga? Uh, 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.040 the Galapagos Islands had a five point and these are 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:28.880 there's like four's and fives quite a bit. In Chile 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:34.040 this week there was a five point six magnitude earthquake. 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:34.840 But yeah, I didn't. 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:38.640 I was awake because I got woken up and then 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:40.800 my phone obviously like everyone else, but we did not 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.520 form the alert circle like the elephants nate. 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:47.520 So just shows you how amazing the animal kingdom early is. 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.560 That's great, that's awesome, so sweet, all them just Hey, we. 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:52.680 Got to look out for each other. 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.360 All right, let's everyone get in a circle here, let's 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:59.199 protect all right, Steve from Tampa, Right, since it's Ben 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:04.200 and Dania, I enjoyed Benny's Basketball injury Bingo this week. 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.720 How much research did you actually do before you made 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.280 your picks? So we brought this back. Then it's Benny. 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.320 I said we're gonna do this last week on the podcast. 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:15.480 I forgot, and then our buddy from San Francisco called 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:17.000 up to remind me, and so then I was gonna 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:18.560 do it, and then I did it like the next day, 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:22.600 and Tony from the Bay reminded me. So it's it's 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:27.760 Benny's Basketball injury Bingo or NBA injury Bingo and all 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:31.360 that stuff. So what I did, Steve, this was pretty 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:34.880 Obviously we're only picking five players, so you know, at 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:36.680 the very top, you got to get Kawhi Leondard. 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:38.600 That guy is the og. 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:45.160 He is the Otani of injury in the playoffs, so 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.080 you want to get him. And then I just tried 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.120 to pick as many older players as I could get, 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.440 Like I didn't get my hands on Lebron, but Lebron's 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:55.320 it would be a good one. So, yeah, we brought 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:59.040 that back. Anybody on the Clippers is half of what 0:13:59.120 --> 0:13:59.960 Kobe Bryant is. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.440 Yeah, I was out of context audio. 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.760 Mike from Wisconsin writes and he says he I been 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.760 in and Danny, do you think that Elon Musk actually 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:12.840 bought Twitter not to save free speech but to find chicks. 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:15.439 That's from Mike He's and then I guess there was 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.160 this story going around. I guess he's been hitting up 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:20.200 random women on X to have his babies. 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.840 Is that? Yeah? But he pays, well. 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:24.720 How much does he pay? 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:25.840 Do we know how much he pays? 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:27.960 I'll have one of his babies. How much does he pay? 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.160 There's a report from one of his past baby's mama's 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:32.960 let me let me look it up to give you 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:33.440 the number. 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:34.960 There was a story. 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:39.320 This reminds me of a very famous boxer who was 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.520 a big star in the nineties when I started in 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:49.480 sports radio, and he had a habit of knocking up 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:54.480 random women who loved loved his boxing, and he had 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.440 a stand. He had a standard fee, but he would 0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:00.080 actually pay the women to not have the baby. He 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.280 didn't pay them to have the baby, he paid them 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.880 not to have the baby. And he had like a 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:10.200 going rate. There was like a standard boilerplate contract that 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:12.520 his people had worked up to not have. 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:14.720 Elon Musk was like, I want you to app. 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:18.760 Here's the story I was thinking of. Elon Musk offered 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:23.600 Ashley Saint Clair fifteen million dollars to keep quiet about 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:24.800 the son he had with her. 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:26.840 Oh but she didn't keep quiet. 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.160 It says fifteen she. It says, how would you do that? 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:34.480 It says. Elon Musk allegedly offered Ashley Saint Claire fifteen 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.280 million to stay quiet about giving birth to their son, 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:42.360 his thirteenth baby, before she shared the news publicly in February. 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:44.520 He said, I'll give you one hundred thousand dollars a 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:47.480 month if you stay quiet about the child. According to 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:50.160 an interview published by The Wall Street Journal. 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:54.040 Okay, that seems like a reasonable offer to stay quiet. 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:56.600 But she needed the attention. I guess right she wanted 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:57.760 to did she like. 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:00.680 Really, that seems like a good deal. 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:02.960 To me A hundred. I imagine getting one hundred thousand 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.440 a month and you don't have to do anything. 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.119 I don't think my dad has paid one hundred dollars 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.720 in my first eighteen years of my life. 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:14.480 Yeah, I mean it's it's not so anyway, all right, 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.920 So Mike, I I don't. Yeah, listen, good for Elon Musk. 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:20.640 He's got the money. And well, these guys, they gets 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:22.760 so much money, they just can do weird crap. You 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.560 got so much money. It's like, uh, the guy from 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:29.200 Amazon's just sending random celebrities to space because he can 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:32.120 like the ultimate fu, you know, to send rich, famous 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:32.840 people to space. 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.480 Yeah, and then they'll and then they'll act like they 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:39.280 accomplished something awesome. They didn't go to NASA to train 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.800 all female crew going up to space, and they were 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:46.800 prancing around like they did something amazing. What's the training 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:48.720 at NASA normally? Do you know how many years it 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:49.600 is to go to space? 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:52.200 Many many years? You got to pass all these not 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:54.320 just the physical but the academic stuff. 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.240 Yes, in the in the in the mental strength. It 0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:00.240 takes right and yeah, and these chicks just go up 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:04.240 there because they have money in their famous Yeah. 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:07.040 That's the way the world. It's They go out to 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:09.600 eat when I of this stuff in my younger days 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:11.720 with baseball players who were well known, and we go 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:13.240 out to eat and they never had to pay for 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:15.520 their food I'm like, what the you know, I gotta 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.760 pay for them, but like these are people can afford 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:19.320 to pay for their food. I was like, no, no, 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:20.400 you tell you. 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:22.000 Know, you don't pay at my restaurant, you know. 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:22.879 I was like, well why not? 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:26.960 Anyway, it was very uh and then the term vomit commet. 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:28.840 That is a that is a space term. 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:31.560 They the astronauts when they're training to go to space, 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:34.000 they put them on the vomit commet. They fly them 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:37.639 up zero gravity. And so that's where the term vomit 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.080 commet comes from. It's an actual thing that they do 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.400 at NASA. Well, we have some NASA people from retired 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:46.640 NASA people that listen, so they can send a nice email. 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:48.400 And if you want to send. 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:50.520 An email about anything, whether it's something we're talking about 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:52.600 now or something we should talk about, you can send 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:55.560 the email Real fifth hour at gmail dot com. That's 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:59.480 Real fifth hour at gmail dot com. Podcast p one 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:07.040 Jeff from Boston adjacent. He says, Okay, that could be anywhere. 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:10.040 That could be another state. He says, hey, Ben and Danny, 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:11.959 I know you like to talk about ways to make 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:14.960 more money. Have you thought about getting into art smuggling? 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:19.040 Or not excuse me, ant smuggling. It looks like art, 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:21.560 but ant smuggling. And then he. 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:26.720 Sent me a story. Here apparently Danny in. 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:34.960 Kenya there was a massive bust of lucrative ant smuggling, 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:37.800 like the kind of pests in your backyard and all that. 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:46.320 According to the story, this was an international ant smuggling ring. 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:52.920 Authorities valued a Belgian man's stash of ants around seven thousand, 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:59.200 seven hundred dollars. There was another stash that was found, however, 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:04.400 the queen ants. They wanted per ant one hundred and 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:07.800 thirty one to two hundred twenty six dollars for a 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:13.960 single ant. Okay, well, okay, all right now, so if 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:17.760 you have, but you can't get that many queen ants, 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:21.440 can you, right? Queen ann is the that's the gold 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:24.439 standard ants. Those are hard to find. But if you 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:26.840 could find let me do the math on that. Let's 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:29.159 say you can get your hands out of Kenya. You 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:32.560 can get your hands on We'll do like four hundred 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:38.439 and twenty five ants, and then you sell them for 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:41.040 two hundred twenty five dollars. 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:42.960 You would end up with. 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:51.800 Almost one hundred thousand dollars. Okay, in ants, we're not 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:55.359 talking about We're not talking about cockroaches. We're not in 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:58.280 here talking about we're not talking about alligance. 0:19:58.400 --> 0:19:59.640 We're talking about ants. 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:03.480 That's pretty good, But how do you get that many 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:05.840 the queen ants? Man, I don't know about that. 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:11.920 Not the game you're talking about practice one of the. 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:14.159 Great nights in sports Stark radio history. 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:17.440 That night, the night after that, during the NBA playoffs, 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:20.680 Reggie in Detroit writes in it says, they've been Danny 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:23.159 enjoyed the pot as always. A Newby Night was a 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:26.439 wonderful listen this week, Ben, how come you don't do 0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:32.240 it more often? Says Reggie. Usually I forget. That's usually 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:34.080 why I plan on doing it often. 0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:34.679 I like to do it. 0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:36.600 I'd like to do it once a month at least. 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:40.679 I got some good feedback from people that like, oh, 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:41.800
