Speaker 1: Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of
Speaker 1: Hot takes break Free for something Special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller starts right now in the a Everywhere.
Speaker 1: The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard and Danny g Radio. Yes,
Speaker 1: so happy that you have chosen to spend some time
Speaker 1: with us. We thank you, and you know what I'd
Speaker 1: like to do Danny one of these these weeks. How
Speaker 1: do you consume the podcast? I know some guys have
Speaker 1: let me know that they listen to the podcast on
Speaker 1: Monday or Tuesday while they're working, Like I've heard that
Speaker 1: from certain people. I've heard other people say that they
Speaker 1: listen to it very early in the morning on Saturday
Speaker 1: while they're they're doing crap around the house, doing the
Speaker 1: adult adult ing stuff that you don't like to do.
Speaker 1: But I'm curious, like what are people doing while they're
Speaker 1: consuming the podcast. I'm wondering, like, what what is the
Speaker 1: number one activity are people on the treadmill. Are they
Speaker 1: working out? Like? What's going on? What? What? What content
Speaker 1: are you are you doing? What are you doing in
Speaker 1: your world while we're barking away here? Now, that is
Speaker 1: a good question. My better half would always download it
Speaker 1: on Monday as she was driving to work back and forth.
Speaker 1: I would always download it to check it as I
Speaker 1: drove to the network for my Saturday shift, to make
Speaker 1: sure everything loaded okay for all the listeners. In my mind,
Speaker 1: a lot of people use it in their car because
Speaker 1: we've talked about the magic of podcasting before, and if
Speaker 1: you have a good forty minute podcast and you have
Speaker 1: a half d that thirty minutes goes by so fast
Speaker 1: when you're listening to a podcast, a good one, Yes,
Speaker 1: that is true. I also like when I'm working out
Speaker 1: what I call working out, which is just really walking.
Speaker 1: My right hand was getting a workout, you know. When
Speaker 1: I'm doing that, I like to have a good, good
Speaker 1: show to listen to because it does make the time
Speaker 1: fly by. It's this weird phenomena where you can speed
Speaker 1: up the spacetime continuum if you have good audio content.
Speaker 1: But let us know if you want to reach out
Speaker 1: to us, we have the mail bag on the Sunday Podcast.
Speaker 1: But if you want to send an email, we have
Speaker 1: a special email address that's only for this show, that
Speaker 1: is not for any of the other shows that we
Speaker 1: are all a part of, and you can send in
Speaker 1: an email care of Real Fifth Hour at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1: It's all letters, no numbers, Real fifth spell out the
Speaker 1: word fiveth Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. And
Speaker 1: instead of putting mail bag in there, just put you
Speaker 1: know what I'm doing something like that and let us know.
Speaker 1: And next Saturday, depending on how many we get, Danny,
Speaker 1: we can find out what the people are doing, the
Speaker 1: pulse of the people, so we'll have that too to
Speaker 1: look forward to on this edition of The Fifth Hour, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, I just realized nobody else might care
Speaker 1: what other people are doing while they're listening to Pockets,
Speaker 1: but I'm curious, So it for you. Yeah, We've got
Speaker 1: you won't get a lemon. Just like Rihanna House guests,
Speaker 1: Pop goes to the culture Backscratcher. We got a lot
Speaker 1: of things to get to and limited amount of time,
Speaker 1: so let's get to it right now. So we kick
Speaker 1: off The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallory and Danny g
Speaker 1: after a wonderful trip, which we gave on a travelog
Speaker 1: on the Friday podcast. We got back to La La Land,
Speaker 1: myself and the wife. We got back on Saturday night.
Speaker 1: You pick up an hour. One of the cool things
Speaker 1: about the time difference between Mountain time and Pacific time
Speaker 1: is you leave Phoenix when you fly to l A.
Speaker 1: And I usually drive, so this is new to me.
Speaker 1: I know, I don't think I've drew. I've flown to
Speaker 1: Phoenix in like twenty something years. But when you fly
Speaker 1: back and the time is different, you obviously you take
Speaker 1: off at like six thirty and you land at six thirty,
Speaker 1: so it's like you've picked up the It's wonderful you
Speaker 1: picked up the hour. It's great. You go up and
Speaker 1: it's like, it's ridiculous how short a flight it is,
Speaker 1: but a wonderful time. We talked all about that on
Speaker 1: the Friday podcast. And then you get back, you get
Speaker 1: in the car and now there was something I left
Speaker 1: out of the podcast on Saturday. That's a bad job
Speaker 1: by me, bunch of hookers and cocaine. All right, So
Speaker 1: you can come back in my haste to travel around
Speaker 1: and do all the different things and try to soaked
Speaker 1: as much of the NFL Super Bowl Week experience as
Speaker 1: I could. At one point, let's just say I did
Speaker 1: not get a lot of sleep, Danny. I was sleep
Speaker 1: to pride, and I don't get a lot of sleep anyway.
Speaker 1: Normally I get four to five hours of sleep at
Speaker 1: night during the week, and I probably got over those
Speaker 1: three days because of having to get up early for
Speaker 1: the flight and then just working a lot, not being
Speaker 1: able to sleep in the crappy hotel. I maybe got
Speaker 1: three hours total. So this is not good. And uh.
Speaker 1: We parked the car at the airport, so I had
Speaker 1: the car key, and after we got done doing the
Speaker 1: podcasting and the radio show with Rob Parker, I reached
Speaker 1: to the pocket that was on my jacket that I
Speaker 1: remember putting the car key in, and there's no car key.
Speaker 1: Oh no, yeah, And I'm like, so I'm going through
Speaker 1: my my pants and then I'm like in my head,
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I put the jacket down at radio row.
Speaker 1: Maybe the jacket it fell out of the jacket. So
Speaker 1: my wife's like, call call wrong Button Bob. Maybe Bob
Speaker 1: will find So I call wrong Button Bob. I'm like, hey, Bob,
Speaker 1: you know I called him. There's a problem whatever, and
Speaker 1: you can you look around for the car key and
Speaker 1: he says, sure, no problem. So he's he's going around,
Speaker 1: he's looking, and then he gets back and he says, uh,
Speaker 1: I didn't find anything. So now I'm like, oh, holy
Speaker 1: holy shit balls. You know, I don't have the key.
Speaker 1: I don't know where it is. So my wife's like, oh,
Speaker 1: you probably just misplaced that you left in the hotel room.
Speaker 1: Nothing to worry about. And we had already left Radio
Speaker 1: Row and I'm like, well, no, we should probably go back.
Speaker 1: I I maybe he didn't look the right way, you know.
Speaker 1: My head, I'm like, I can find it, you know.
Speaker 1: She told she talked me out of it because we
Speaker 1: had we had these plans to go to the super
Speaker 1: Bowl party and it was really the only night we
Speaker 1: had to do anything. So I was like, all right, fine,
Speaker 1: you know or whatever. So I looked through everything. I
Speaker 1: looked through my bag, I looked through my my cluck.
Speaker 1: We got back to the hotel room. I'm going through
Speaker 1: the suitcase. I'll just carry on. I didn't bring that
Speaker 1: much stuff because it was only a couple of days.
Speaker 1: So I'm going through everything. I can't find that g
Speaker 1: D key. I can't find this thing anyway, made it
Speaker 1: hard for you to concentrate on the strippers with Rob
Speaker 1: Parker exactly. Man, I remember this is nice. It ain't
Speaker 1: Magic City, but it nice. But but no, so so
Speaker 1: like I'm piste off. I'm like, oh crap. So my
Speaker 1: wife's like, don't worry. We have a backup key, my
Speaker 1: father in law. She calls her dad. She's like, father
Speaker 1: in law, go pick up the key and he'll help
Speaker 1: us out and then we have nothing to worry about.
Speaker 1: So I was like, all right, fine. Um, So we
Speaker 1: went out, we did a thing. We uh. We came
Speaker 1: back to the hotel, got some sleep, and then as
Speaker 1: I get up to go out, my wife wanted to
Speaker 1: get coffee. So I was like, I'll go for a
Speaker 1: walk with her. And as we're wandering around, I reached
Speaker 1: the upper pocket in my jacket and there's the key.
Speaker 1: I don't know where it had been. I had touched
Speaker 1: every pocket, I had gone through every pocket. I felt
Speaker 1: like I was in an episode of the Twilight Zone.
Speaker 1: It's like where was it? Because I know, and my
Speaker 1: wife thinks I was just so tired that I just,
Speaker 1: you know, in in my haze, I didn't see it.
Speaker 1: I feel the key. Wow, oh my, oh my god, Yes,
Speaker 1: I was. I was. I was dazed and confused, is
Speaker 1: what I was. I was disheveled. Anyway, So we get
Speaker 1: to the airport after the short flight and and now
Speaker 1: have the key. So I canceled my father in law,
Speaker 1: UH and very nice to get to the UH, get
Speaker 1: to the car, getting the Malamobile, go home. And then
Speaker 1: the next day, Super Bowl Sunday, my wife's out running
Speaker 1: an errand and I'm making p and some Super Bowl
Speaker 1: food and I get this text it happened again. I'm like,
Speaker 1: all crap. And it turns out the Mallowmobile, yet again,
Speaker 1: Danny has gone snap, crackle, pop, light show, dashboard popping,
Speaker 1: engine failure, engine failure. So for the fourth time since
Speaker 1: last summer, at least the fourth time since last summer,
Speaker 1: my wife had to call the tow truck and take
Speaker 1: the car to the repair shop on Super Bowl Sunday.
Speaker 1: And now it turns out that that particular car is
Speaker 1: literally on its deathbed. Danny that we took it to
Speaker 1: the repair shop, the place that fixed it or we
Speaker 1: thought fixed it the last couple of times, and they
Speaker 1: said the quotea famous boxer no Moss they tossed in
Speaker 1: the sponge here, Danny. They don't know how to fix it.
Speaker 1: They don't know what the fun is wrong with it.
Speaker 1: They thought they knew they're getting the same messages they
Speaker 1: got before, even though they fixed the problem. So it
Speaker 1: can't be the problem that it fixed before because they
Speaker 1: put a new part in. So they told us to
Speaker 1: take you to the dealer. So the car is being
Speaker 1: transported to the dealer the Malan Wibile. Meanwhile, we only
Speaker 1: have one car at the Mallard mansion, so I'm pretty
Speaker 1: much under house arrest at this point because my wife
Speaker 1: she's unable to work remotely. I'm able to work remotely,
Speaker 1: so I'm pretty much stuck here around the clock, which
Speaker 1: I don't mean. I'm fine. It's great that we have
Speaker 1: this um So I've been unable to go into the
Speaker 1: main studio in Sherman Oaks because I my wife needs
Speaker 1: the car to help save people's lives doing the nine
Speaker 1: one one thing that she does, and so we thought
Speaker 1: that was probably more of a priority. Intermittent chest pains
Speaker 1: and I shortness. Top it turns out, you know, you
Speaker 1: won't get a lemon Well the car. It turns out
Speaker 1: it is a lemon. And now now we have to
Speaker 1: figure out what we want to do as far as
Speaker 1: getting another car, and that means the dreaded car payment,
Speaker 1: because it's hard for me to imagine that anyone's going
Speaker 1: to give us any money for a car that won't drive.
Speaker 1: And why wouldn't we spend more money fixing it when
Speaker 1: we could just spend that money and directed towards a car.
Speaker 1: So we're we're gonna have to go and and that's
Speaker 1: actually what I'll be doing today on on this Saturday,
Speaker 1: is car shop. So good luck. And it's not like
Speaker 1: it used to be. Like it used to be you
Speaker 1: could haggle and get a better deal, Yeah, not anymore.
Speaker 1: Now it's pretty much whatever it is, that's the deal.
Speaker 1: You get what you get and that's it. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, that's what it is. Uh. And then based
Speaker 1: on your down payment, that's what your monthly payment is.
Speaker 1: And a lot of the banks right now are not
Speaker 1: offering good interest rates to even customers that have you know,
Speaker 1: nice credit. The banks are all looking for extra dough
Speaker 1: right now as well. So I went through this just
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago myself. Not fun, but it's necessary. Unfortunately. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that sucks. I'm I'm piste off. And then we're like debating.
Speaker 1: We were starting to think about cars, and I'm sure
Speaker 1: we'll talk more about this next week because it will
Speaker 1: be you get a hot rod this time, Ben, something
Speaker 1: I'd like, Well, you know, I could I could be
Speaker 1: on a motorcycle. I could be the fat guy on
Speaker 1: the motorcycle. You'll get good gas mileage, you know, and
Speaker 1: all that you could drive in between lanes. And I
Speaker 1: was like, any my wife's throwing out all these different
Speaker 1: ideas on cars that get great gas mileage. But they're
Speaker 1: not really designed for big people. You know that they're
Speaker 1: not designed for tall people. They're designed for little people.
Speaker 1: So there's that problem and we'll see what happens. But
Speaker 1: the Mallamobile, it appears that we will have a nice
Speaker 1: burial in a Junkyard near you that it has met.
Speaker 1: It's de miz a lot of miles, a lot of
Speaker 1: road trips, a lot of good memories in that car.
Speaker 1: The car has bit the dust. It would appear, barring
Speaker 1: some kind of hail marry situation that is unforeseen at
Speaker 1: this moment, that car is on life support. It's carmageddon
Speaker 1: for that car because of your legs, your long legs.
Speaker 1: You need an e V that's like a crossover like
Speaker 1: those new Ford Mustang's. Yeah, yeah, you know, it needs
Speaker 1: to be at least the size of a Porsche Cayenne.
Speaker 1: But then I'm like thinking if I get a hybrid
Speaker 1: or an electric type of car, something along those lines,
Speaker 1: like how many miles is that really gonna lie as?
Speaker 1: I want something that's gonna go two hundred fifty thousand
Speaker 1: miles is what I want. And that's an ugly Toyota.
Speaker 1: I don't know that I want that though, Like how
Speaker 1: many miles? My wife's like, get a Prius. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't fit a Prius. But how many miles to
Speaker 1: cars like that get? I'm curious. I want to know
Speaker 1: from the pulse of the people here who have cars
Speaker 1: like that, Like I wonder what's the best bang for
Speaker 1: your buck? If you can recommend something, send me an
Speaker 1: email and put cars in the headlines there Real Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour at gmail dot com or Ben Mallard's show at
Speaker 1: gmail dot com. It's just like Rihanna at the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Dandy g just like Rihanna. Yeah, And what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna send you the program from a few nights ago.
Speaker 1: All right, that way you can look at what we
Speaker 1: had had to sit through at a gymnasium for our
Speaker 1: twelve year old. If you are regular to the Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour podcast, you hear Chloe's laugh often, so you know
Speaker 1: who that is and she's part of choir. Alright, so
Speaker 1: I sent you the uh the song lineup right now
Speaker 1: that we had to suffer through. Okay, that's a lot
Speaker 1: of words and funny songs, twenty songs. I am high
Speaker 1: tailing it with my post production for CNR. On Wednesday night,
Speaker 1: I get into bumper to bumper traffic to come home
Speaker 1: and the concert quote unquote concert started at six thirty pm.
Speaker 1: I make it home at six like yeah, and my
Speaker 1: Tenderoni is very surprised because she knows it's really hard
Speaker 1: to get home through all that traffic. And I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: I can't miss Chloe's opening song because you look at
Speaker 1: this thing and unfortunately her performance part is the opening
Speaker 1: song and the closing song You're screwed. And she's laughing saying,
Speaker 1: you guys are gonna be stuck there for two hours
Speaker 1: and she's doing this. I'm looking at it, what is it?
Speaker 1: I'm still Standing that one right there, and then they
Speaker 1: open with Elton John's famous I'm Still Standing, which also
Speaker 1: got popular again from one of those cartoon movies, Sing Too,
Speaker 1: and then she's part of the closer, which is Disney
Speaker 1: Dreams to Share. It's a lot of Disney songs, and
Speaker 1: then right in the middle is a song from a
Speaker 1: lot of Morrisset ironic from her Jagged Little Pill that
Speaker 1: and there's a Randy Newman song in there. Well, I
Speaker 1: guess that's a yeah. But it was just odd because
Speaker 1: like all these Disney classics and then a lot of
Speaker 1: more a set, so there wasn't a lot of rhyme
Speaker 1: or reason. They were calling it like a Disney night,
Speaker 1: but it was like a weird Disney night. There were
Speaker 1: too many songs. There were too many kids up there
Speaker 1: doing duets. The duets were not a hit because one
Speaker 1: kid could sing and the other one couldn't, and so
Speaker 1: they kind of washed each other out. Me and the
Speaker 1: wifey were sitting all the way in the back and
Speaker 1: we're being really bad parents because we're cracking up laughing
Speaker 1: most of the time because some of the vocals were
Speaker 1: so out of tune. The pitch was off it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a note for me, dog. And this was the
Speaker 1: Gong Show. They would have been gonged off the stage,
Speaker 1: a hook would have come out. Sandman would have been
Speaker 1: dancing pulling the kid off the stage. All right, Chloe,
Speaker 1: Now yeah, I don't know how much she likes choir class,
Speaker 1: but Ben, let's just say the way, Rihanna got a
Speaker 1: lot of crap because she wasn't moving very well. Great.
Speaker 1: It was a pregnancy announcement with her belly sticking out,
Speaker 1: so I think a lot of people gave her a past.
Speaker 1: They're like, well, you know, she is pregnant, so how
Speaker 1: do you expect her to be dancing. But some people
Speaker 1: were like, well, still, you gotta you gotta come with it.
Speaker 1: That's the halftime of the Super Bowl. I heard that
Speaker 1: Cavino and rich right, they promo. I heard they were.
Speaker 1: They were like, it's a super Bowl. You gotta you know,
Speaker 1: you gotta present yourself. This is a big deal. Really
Speaker 1: looked like if you paid attention to the show, she
Speaker 1: lip SYNCD and not very well to all the songs
Speaker 1: until the end of her performance, where they turned her
Speaker 1: mike on live for the last two songs. You can
Speaker 1: really cut it up. How is this going to turn
Speaker 1: out for Chloe? Especially that closing song. We're suffering through
Speaker 1: the middle seventeen eighteen songs, laughing at most of them.
Speaker 1: There were a couple of kids that really killed it. Well,
Speaker 1: that's about where it should be, right exist difficulty didn't
Speaker 1: have real music ability. That's within where it should be.
Speaker 1: I would say three out of fifty probably not that bad.
Speaker 1: How much did they charge for this? Did they charge
Speaker 1: to get in? It was a good deal. It was
Speaker 1: person first drink, free, free donut at the end of
Speaker 1: the night. It was free. Oh that's good because some
Speaker 1: of the school stuff around where I'm at they like
Speaker 1: charge money for it. I'm like, what the hell are
Speaker 1: you doing? Yeah, I like the sporting events here where
Speaker 1: I live. It's ridiculous how much they charge. So I
Speaker 1: guess they kind of they got to kind of make
Speaker 1: it up with freebes like this. Now, Chloe, she does
Speaker 1: the first performance, the first song, and her dad is
Speaker 1: there in attendance as well, and he leaves. Chloe is
Speaker 1: making his face, She's looking at us, She's looking at
Speaker 1: her dad leaving, and we're all laughing because we told
Speaker 1: her afterwards, we said, you suck so bad your dad
Speaker 1: left performance. Now they get to the final Disney Dreams
Speaker 1: to Share and we're like, all right, well, this is
Speaker 1: where Chloe is gonna shine at the end of this
Speaker 1: big performance where we had to sit for an hour
Speaker 1: and a half, ninety minutes of my life, I will
Speaker 1: not get back ever. And close up there Ben with
Speaker 1: with she's an alto. Okay, so she's up there with
Speaker 1: the sopranos, the baritones, not moving. She has a sullen
Speaker 1: look on her face, and she is only mouthing like
Speaker 1: every fourth word, oh boy. And now videotaping this because
Speaker 1: I want to show her afterwards, so I get a
Speaker 1: close up. The most animated she was is when it
Speaker 1: was over. That last song ended. Now the applause were
Speaker 1: glorious because all the parents realized it was over. Thank God, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: This concert is over, and the choir teacher is now
Speaker 1: handing out donuts to all of the kids that performed. Ben.
Speaker 1: She was jumping up and down dancing as she was
Speaker 1: in the line to get a donut, and I swear
Speaker 1: to God, her brother tells her, too bad, you don't
Speaker 1: love choir as much as you love donuts. That's see
Speaker 1: I would be just like Chloe. I'd be like, all right, man,
Speaker 1: we're good. Now it's donut time. I I totally get it. Man,
Speaker 1: there's nothing better than a good donut. Did she get
Speaker 1: the favorite donut? And it was quite the experience. I
Speaker 1: think the next time there is a concert, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be stuck in traffic. Yeah. Well, and got one of
Speaker 1: the oven there, and so you you can master all
Speaker 1: these things, Danny. By the time the next kid pops
Speaker 1: out there, boom, done this boy, we have coming. He
Speaker 1: is not gonna do choir. No, I've heard the worst
Speaker 1: I've never been part of, but I've heard the worst
Speaker 1: is track and field that goes on for hours, track
Speaker 1: and field, and it's a bunch of different events, and
Speaker 1: if you're out there to see your kid, you know,
Speaker 1: it's just a nightmare, just a freaking night I've never
Speaker 1: done track and field, so I don't know, but I've
Speaker 1: heard that's the worst. So we've got the house guest now,
Speaker 1: So am I this this week? I'm gonna be quiet, Danny,
Speaker 1: because I they're they're just down the hall from the
Speaker 1: studio here, the podcast studio I'm in. I didn't realize
Speaker 1: you got guts. Yeah. Well, my my brother in law
Speaker 1: and his fiance are staying with us here in the
Speaker 1: north Woods. They are house shopping right now. They're looking
Speaker 1: for houses, not at this hour, not that, not what
Speaker 1: we're doing the podcast. But as a result, I've noticed
Speaker 1: that this last week, not only did I not have
Speaker 1: an automobile to go anywhere because the mallamobile has been
Speaker 1: down for the count as we talked about earlier in
Speaker 1: the podcast, but because I have a certain routine, I've
Speaker 1: a much been locked up. I've got cabin fever a
Speaker 1: little bit. I've been locked up in the studio where
Speaker 1: I do the show from because that's where i've been
Speaker 1: prepping for the show. I usually would prep elsewhere, but
Speaker 1: I need need no distractions. I don't need anyone yap
Speaker 1: or anything like that, so so I've had to kind
Speaker 1: of stay off in the corner here, and I need
Speaker 1: laser like focused Danny. I haven't had a lot of
Speaker 1: laser like focus. So I've been hunkering and bunkering in
Speaker 1: place because I feel like that's the plight thing. The
Speaker 1: other thing about you know, the house guest thing. Uh,
Speaker 1: A lot more dishes. I've noticed a lot more dishes,
Speaker 1: so I'm the dishwasher, so I've had to spend more
Speaker 1: time doing that. Do you have enough bathrooms? That's the
Speaker 1: one thing I don't like. I feel awkward sharing bathrooms
Speaker 1: with people. Yeah, we have a decent amount of bathrooms.
Speaker 1: The problem is the one I would normally use is
Speaker 1: kind of they've kind of overtaken the bathroom, so I
Speaker 1: feel like it's it is kind of weird to go
Speaker 1: in there when they're because we've kind of given them
Speaker 1: that bathroom. So then I have to walk past that bathroom,
Speaker 1: I gotta walk down the hall in a door, I
Speaker 1: gotta go up another hall to get to the other bathroom.
Speaker 1: So it's not to live in a mansion. Well, it
Speaker 1: is the Mallard mansion, as you know. All right, we
Speaker 1: have backscratcher. Are you excited for some backscratcher? Tell me
Speaker 1: you are very excited? Yes? Do it? How many do
Speaker 1: we have that? What's the options this week? Do we
Speaker 1: have one? Two or four? One? Two or four? Dan?
Speaker 1: You don't usually go up to four? Yeah? Yeah, I'm digging.
Speaker 1: You're pulling our chain there, So I'm gonna say too, well, Danny, uh,
Speaker 1: you got it right? How dare you how do you
Speaker 1: get it right? The first one is let's see who
Speaker 1: do we have. We have your fee Me from Chicago,
Speaker 1: mean your fee Me. This guy's a big fan, he says,
Speaker 1: how I Ben, how are you? Is what he says
Speaker 1: in the headline. That's a great quote of Andrea. These
Speaker 1: sports astrologists, he says, I try to catch the pot
Speaker 1: every weekend. I enjoy hearing about the live your lives
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny G. I give this pot an a
Speaker 1: plus with a side deep dish pizza hashtag mallar milicias.
Speaker 1: So that's five stars. Good job by you, Phoebe. Next up,
Speaker 1: we have our buddy Cliff in Nashville, he says, always entertaining.
Speaker 1: I love the real Fifth Hour, never boring, always interesting.
Speaker 1: It's a great listen. Do you're Ben and Danny G
Speaker 1: share their life experiences. I will miss Benny versus the petty.

Speaker 1: bouncing off the walls. Either that or you'll be feeling
Speaker 1: so old that you need There's also there's also that
Speaker 1: possibility well AI is amongst us and bad news for
Speaker 1: celebrities like Joe Rogan. There was a video that was
Speaker 1: made by a company to promote a sexual enhancement drug
Speaker 1: that had Joe Rogan talking to one of his guests
Speaker 1: on his podcast about the drug. It turns out it
Speaker 1: was a deep fake. Joe Rogan never did it. But
Speaker 1: this thing has been bouncing around the Internet and people
Speaker 1: have no idea. It sounds it is the voice of
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan, and it's wild and this it's illegal to do,
Speaker 1: but they're claiming the experts there's really no way to
Speaker 1: stop it. Once it happens, you can then kind of
Speaker 1: control it a little bit, but the internet is so
Speaker 1: tough to to have guard rails up. So celebrities concerned
Speaker 1: about that. They they've also said, we've talked about this
Speaker 1: in the past, Danny, that this will lead to like porno,
Speaker 1: they'll be uh deep fake porno with celebrities that we
Speaker 1: have to look forward to. Gigy. What else do we
Speaker 1: have here? Let's see your page down, page down on
Speaker 1: pop goes the culture. All right, so this this is
Speaker 1: a story that troubles me. Now it does involve porn.
Speaker 1: Uh so my right hand was getting a workout. Is
Speaker 1: now the first we talked about this also Louisiana last month,
Speaker 1: Remember we talked about Louisiana. Yeah, well they became the
Speaker 1: first date to require an I D for residents to
Speaker 1: access porno online. Right, Well, we have an update since then,
Speaker 1: seven other states have said that's a great fucking idea.
Speaker 1: And according to a website that tracks this stuff, a
Speaker 1: Free Speech Coalition, there are seven other states that have
Speaker 1: introduced similar laws and laws that are positibly in the
Speaker 1: pass within the next couple of months. That means, if
Speaker 1: you want to watch porno, you gotta sign up, you
Speaker 1: gotta have your i D. Those states are Florida, Kansas,
Speaker 1: South Dakota is on their West Virginia. So a lot
Speaker 1: of Bible Belt Arkansas, Mississippi, the Deep South, and Virginia.
Speaker 1: They say that Arkansas, Mississippi, and Virginia are the closest
Speaker 1: to passing the law. And some of these things could
Speaker 1: take place in June or July. That's wild to me.
Speaker 1: You know, that's gonna lead to Danny's a lot, a
Speaker 1: lot of VPNs, because that's the way you get around it. Right,
Speaker 1: You got a VPN. You don't have to worry about it. Yeah,
