20
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: Because my mom forces her little shit su to listen

21
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,440

00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: counts as a half. Let me tell you something, your mom.

23
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: All moms are great unless they're not. But I'm a

24
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: fan of moms. You. I support my mother mission rest

25
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: in people. She had three dogs that listen to every

26
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: one of my show, earf every one of the shows

27
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: I ever did. I had three extra dogs that listen,

28
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: and she told every other dog in the neighborhood about

29
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: her son's radio show. She was very proud of her

30
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: son's a little radio show. So anyway, on this edition,

31
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: the fifth hour, we've got one of my favorite stories,

32
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: the influencer, Snowball in Paradise, losing the inheritance. What you're

33
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: doing backscratcher. But wait, there's more. We've got Pop goes

34
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: the culture scientifically, and whatever we don't get to today,

35
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: we can always get to on the Sunday podcast. So

36
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: we'll try to get to as much of that as

37
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: we can. But we begin with this, and it's really

38
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: sums up my existence in social media now. There are

39
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: big companies that advise people who are quasi celebrities. Foe celebt,

40
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: I'm a foe selebt, I'm a real celebrit I'm a

41
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: foe selebt. And so they advise these people on how

42
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: to handle social media and how to have power and

43
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: things like that, and they tell you you should have

44
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: one name on every platform. On Instagram, on Twitter, Facebook, TikTok,

45
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: that's your brand. One name. I have a name for Facebook.

46
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: I have a different name for Twitter. I have a

47
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 1: different name for Instagram. Every one of these platforms there's

48
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: a different name. So I get this message on my

49
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: phone from my Instagram page and this kind of caught

50
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: my attention, Danny, so I said, and I clicked on it,

51
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: and I got I got a look. Side of my

Speaker 1: that was your left arm. That'll show my girlish figure.

87
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: So for a moment, Danny, I was an influencer for

88
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: a moment, For a very brief moment, I had influencer powers,

89
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: and I thought, man, I finally arrived. Finally I've arrived.

90
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: I can get some swag and I'm an ambassador for

91
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: this company. And then it's it's like all like female stuff.

92
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: What did it feel like being a Jenner? For just

93
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: a moment, I was excited. Man, I was like, I

94
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: was gonna text my wife and I was, hey, we've

95
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: made it. We've met the family's made it, and uh no,

96
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: I like it says it says inspired by today's youth,

97
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: unique eye wear, vintage with style. It says on this site.

98
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: And so how the fuck did they end up standing?

99
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: I know it's all probably a computer or a robot

100
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: or something like, but how will I end up on

101
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: that list? We're like, I know, we'll send this jackass

102
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: a link, and how does that happen. Anyway, it happened,

103
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: So we'll move on from that. Now, these snowball in

104
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: Paradise twas a winter wonderland in southern California. And this

105
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: is a story that has never been told. I didn't

106
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: talk about this on the podcast on the radio show.

107
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: I saved it for the podcast. So where the snow

108
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: meets the ocean, it never rains in La. It's not

109
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: supposed to snow, for God's sakes. And so let me

110
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: let me prefer this Danny by saying that it was

111
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: not snowing in the north Woods. And last weekend, my

112
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: plan was to have a lazy, rainy day at the

113
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: Mallard match. You know, one of those days. You stay home,

114
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: you wear your pajamas, you watch TV, you eat, you

115
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: cook food you already have, you know, go you don't

116
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: leave the house. That was my plan. And as the

117
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: old line goes, if you want to make God laugh,

118
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: tell them about your plans. So I'm sleeping at eight am.

119
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: The power goes out. How do I know the power

120
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: went out at eight am? So I'm sleeping. I'm not

121
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: awake at eight am on a Saturday. I'm sleeping. And

122
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: I always have white noise in the background. I have

123
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: a fan, or I have summer I have the AC

124
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: going the room air conditioner. Otherwise I can't sleep right,

125
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: I cannot sleep. I need to have some some background.

126
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: So I was awoken when that noise vanished at eight

127
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: in the morning, and I tried to go back to sleep,

128
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: but I knew right the power had gone out, and

129
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: all as I tried to get back to sleep, and

130
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: then after about thirty minutes of tossing and turning and

131
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: you know what am I doing, I said, Oh, screw it.

132
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: I got up and I went to the gym and

133
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 1: I spent like two hours on the treadmill because I

134
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: had nothing else. So then I got a text. I said,

135
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: my wife said, hey, the power company says that the

136
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: service that they're figuring out the problem is, but the

137
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: service will not be on until the nighttime. So it's

138
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: like at this point, it's probably ten thirty eleven in

139
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: the morning. And I came home and they said they

140
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: were sending a crew out fix the problem. So around

141
00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: around that time, my mother in law informed my life

142
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: that it was snowing on the freeway where she lives

143
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: in her neck of the woods near she lives kind

144
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: of close to my sister in law. So we made

145
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: a decision since we why would we stay at home.

146
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: Was cold and rainy, and the power was out. We

147
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: couldn't use the refrigerator. We couldn't you know all that.

148
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: So we made a decision to make a run out too.

149
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: I could be Uncle Benny, right, make a day of it.

150
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: Getting the mallamobile, headed head to the area. The snow

151
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: was falling, which, by the way, for those of you

152
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: in southern California, right off the two ten freeway, it

153
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: was a winter wonderland kind of past Glendora, Sandemas past

154
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: that area, and so it was it was. And so

155
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: we got out there and my mother in law said,

156
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: this is where it's snowing. We get out there on

157
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: the freeway, no snow, It was raining, there was no snow,

158
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: So we decided to get off. I decided, oh, let's

159
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: get off the freeway. And I got off the freeway

160
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: and I turned left and I went four blocks kind

161
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: of towards the mountains, and boom, it was a snow utopia.

162
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: It was awesome. It really was a winter wonderland and

163
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: it felt like I was back and I'd been in

164
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: the snow and New York or Boston or Connecticut, you

165
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: know one of those places. It was beautiful. It was

166
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: snowball and paradise. There used to be a sports not

167
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: a sports anchor. Was a news anchor in La named

168
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: Jerry Dumpy, and he said his famous line was from

169
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: the desert to the sea to all of southern California.

170
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: It's a good evening, an old school newscaster. And you

171
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: could add from the surf to the slopes, right because

172
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: it was crazy. And and you had the photo which

173
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: I didn't take a picture of it. I hadn't posted,

174
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: but these you know, those Spanish style houses with the

175
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: the uh, the like kind of orange brick on the

176
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: on the you know what I'm talking about. Yeahs covered

177
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: in snow. And it was like the craziest thing covered

178
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: in snow. And so we had a brief snowball fight

179
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: and loved it. Wonderful time. And then we just kind

180
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: of mosied around, went to bass Pro shops, wandered around

181
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: that ginormous store, ate some donuts at that legendary donut

182
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: place out there, donut Man, and then I hung out.

183
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: I hung out with my niece and nephew. Awesome little

184
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: kids and the and they lived kind of in bear country,

185
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: and my nephew was playing the Floor's Lava. Great game,

186
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: wonderful game and nothing great when we were when I

187
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: was a kid, we had like the ocean, there were sharks.

188
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: We pretended it was like sharks, not so much the

189
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: floor's lava, but it was like there was like ocean

190
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: filled with evil sharks. But I had a fun day.

191
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: We turned to the Mallor mansion and by the time

192
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: we got back, the power was on there. So it

193
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: was a happy, happy time. And the good news that

194
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: there's no losing of the inheritance, there's none. Danny, Well,

195
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: this is a snow story also that ties into yours,

196
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: because there are parts of California where maybe they've gotten

197
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: some snow from time to time, but not this amount

198
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: of snow, not where you need a snow plow just

199
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: to go to the grocery store. My dad, he's not

200
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: part of the Garadeli Empire because he got out of

201
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: high school. He decided to go his own direction. So

202
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: for years he has co owned and operated a construction

203
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: company and it's taken him to places like Denver, where

204
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: he was part of the construction crew on the Broncos

205
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: latest stadiums. He also built some homes in Colorado Springs

206
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: and then most famously built some home with his partner

207
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: in bass Lake, right outside of Yosemite. He stood there

208
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: like a prospector ben on this land in bass Lake

209
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: that's some big wig, some rich guy owned, and he's

210
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: helping to build this guy a lake home. And he

211
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: told himself, someday, I'm going to come back to bass

212
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: Lake here and build my own house. And that's what

213
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: he did. About a decade now, he's been living there

214
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: on the lake. Still works part time for the construction company,

215
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: just as a supervisor, you know, because he's done with

216
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: the holding the hammer himself. So I'm going to send

217
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: you some before and after pictures. He built himself a

218
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: nice little home there on the lake, all right, and

219
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: you'll see the pictures. The last time I visited, I

220
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: took some pictures of his front deck. Okay, I'm clicking

221
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: this here. Yeah, beautiful, beautiful, big trees and right in

222
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 1: the middle of the forest it feels like yeah, and

223
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: literally cross over the street and you are a hundred

224
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: feet away from Bass Lake from the water, and they've

225
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: gotten snow from time to time. But he has been

226
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: snowed in with my step mom for ten straight days now.

227
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: And look at the Look at how much snow has

228
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: fallen there. This looks like buffalo. That looks like the

229
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: That looks like a lake effect blizzard you would see

230
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: outside a Bill's game. It does. That's a while. It's

231
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: so bad that the neighbor to the left had their

232
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: roof cave in. Oh no, the neighbor to the right,

233
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: the guy was trying to light his furnace and it

234
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: exploded in his face. There's face burned, his hair, his face,

235
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: his eyebrows off. Oh my gosh, there's been no snowplow action.

236
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: They have been stuck there, trapped like rats. Finally they

237
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: have enough food, or they had enough food, or were

238
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: they prepared, or they knew that they were going to

239
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: have a bad storm for a couple of days. They

240
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: had no idea that it was going to be this bad,

241
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: that the snow was gonna come down like this and

242
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: collapse roofs there in their neighborhood. Everybody's been freaking out

243
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: there because they can't even go into town to get supplies.

244
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: As he stands outside his house there, the snow is

245
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: coming up to his chest. Wow, that's crazy. Yeah. Yeah.

246
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: So finally a couple of days ago they were able

247
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: to for a couple of hours with shovels dig their

248
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: truck out of it and they were able to at

249
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: least drive to the town over and they are now

250
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: in a hotel. All right, Well, that's do they have

251
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: an a frame like if you don't have an a

252
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: frame roof, like I was hearing that some of these

253
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: places in the mountains around San Berardino County, the houses

254
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: that don't have an a frame roof, as you talked

255
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: about that guy, the snow sits there and will collapse

256
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: the roof. Yeah, that you need to have that triangle

257
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: shaped roof or else you're screwed. You know, it's a

258
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: great future career. Let's he a roofer in an area

259
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: like that. You are going to be a hot demand.

260
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: You know what we should have done as a hustle though,

261
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: get a snowblower. He blew me off at a hotel

262
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: near lax How dare you and go up there? And

263
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: we would have made so much money? How if much

264
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: money people would have paid. There was somebody going through

265
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: the neighborhoods there selling gas in propane, sure, charging triple

266
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: the price, making a boatload of money, and he bought

267
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: some pails of gas from the guy. That was the

268
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: only resource he was able to get from somebody to

269
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: keep his generator running. Wow, price couching the American way, right,

270
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: that's what happens. It's like when there's an earthquake in

271
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: the hotels, all of a sudden getting a lot more expensive. Yeah,

272
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: does look like Buffalo. I'll have to tweet that out

273
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: at Danny G Radio. Yeah, it looks like something I've

274
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: seen at a tailgate outside of Bill's game, where you're like,

275
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: what the hell is that? I don't get it? Speaking

276
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: of the what what what you're doing? And I had

277
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: a few more stragglers. I can now say the word

278
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: that that have told us what they do. First, Mike

279
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: from Fullerton says, I was brushing my teeth and floshing flossing.

280
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: When you asked what people were doing at the start

281
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: of Saturday's pot, I mainly yell at Alexa to play

282
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: the fifth hour while I'm doing monotonous things on the

283
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: weekend like working out, shaving, et cetera. So that's from

284
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: Mike in Flerton. I didn't realize that the show would

285
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: play if you just ask Alexa, you just yell at

286
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: Alexa and then it'll play the fifth hour. That's pretty cool, dude.

287
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: Alexa can do anything I say, Alexa, do the splits, Hey, Alexa,

288
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: send me some money, Alexa, twerk, shake that moody. Come

289
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: on pimping, get your tims on Kevin in Kansas, he

Speaker 1: much every week religiously. In fact, it's at the point now, Kevin,

296
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,159

Speaker 1: The goal. We've got to get to four hundred by

312
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: the end of the year. That is a nominal goal.

313
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: You said by the summer. I said by the end

314
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,719
Speaker 1: of year. You said by the summer. And these are

315
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: the Apple podcast reviews that Bannon's talking about. So this week, Danny,

316
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: did we get one, two, four? Well, no, no reviews.

317
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, dosts. Yeah the answer Danny boom right there.

318
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: Four we had four reviews. Right, this is big. Well,

319
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: this is cool. So this puts us over the three

320
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: eighty mark. Where three eighty one, so we only need

321
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: nineteen more reviews. But let's get to the nice reviews

322
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: right now from fellow listeners, men, women, and children. In

323
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: the backscratcher segment, you scratch our back, we'll scratch your back,

324
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: we'll give you a weekly tip of the on air light.

325
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: Here to the loyal supporters of the podcast on that

326
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: Apple podcast page. Now, why do we obsess about the

327
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: Apple podcast page Because we have corporate overlords that do

328
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: love that page for whatever reason, they think that is

329
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: the end all be all, And we are fighting the

330
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: good fight against other podcasts that have bots and and

331
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: pay for reviews. We don't do it. We have no

332
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: budget when it comes to that kind of thing. The

333
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: first review, though, comes from Melissa in Rocky Mount, Virginia.

334
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,160

341
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,719
Speaker 1: wife because she know she's maybe not a big fan

342
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: of the show, but she supports her husband and she

343
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: knows that the legend that is Jason and Rocky Mount

344
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: Virginia has been a big supporter of the show for

345
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: years and that's awesome. So and also, Melissa, thank your

00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: sent me a hat from the local Salem Red Sox team.

348
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: It's in my rotation. So it's very good. Happy husband

349
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: would blow jobs, happy life. That's absolutely great. Every woman

350
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: knows that. All right, James and Arkansas, Right City says,

351
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: just trying to help you, help you to reach your

352
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: goal for reviews. Well, thank you, James. I have a

353
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: side job driving cars in between dealerships and delivering cars

354
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: purchased off the dealership website. Sorry, you two had to

355
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: buy in this market. The little windows stickers added by

356
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: the dealership have market adjustment two to four thousand dollars

357
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: above sticker. Oh man, yeah, I got stuck with that.

358
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,479
Speaker 1: I enjoy listening driving down the highway. That's James in Arkansas.

359
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: God bless you, James. That is an interesting job. So

360
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: I assume you'd drive. I would assume James, and he's

361
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: not there to answer this, Danny, but I would assume this.

362
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: The way this works is you'd have some kind of

363
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: tow truck or something like that. You'd drop the car

364
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: off and then that's it. Right, You're done you'd drive

365
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: back and that how that would work? Yeah, I would

366
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: think kind of bobbies. Next up, it says a headline,

367
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: wonderful pair. This is from b nine zero two one zero.

393
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: out of your day to make those reviews. Yeah, we

394
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: do appreciate it. And we're not kidding. Some people think

395
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 1: we're kidding. I trust I promise you we are not kidding. No,

396
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: we are bean counters at the company that sift through

397
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: all the reviews. Yeah, and this is a product of iHeartMedia.

398
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: And as you know, Danny, they love their podcast like

399
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,959
Speaker 1: they are. I don't want to speak for the company,

400
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: but I feel like they're more into the podcast stuff

401
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: than the radio stuff at this point. They love podcast

402
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: They changed their name. It's not iHeartRadio, it's iHeart Media.

403
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: And a big part of media is podcasting. Yeah, and

404
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: they they're the largest podcaster. We're competing with like a

405
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: gazillion podcast. There are other companies that sign up for

406
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: ihearts just to have their podcasts put out there. So

407
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: at least for podcasting, we work for the right company. Yeah,

408
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 1: we're doing okay in that department. Pop goes the culture.

409
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: Let's give it up for Ohio, ow Ohio our body.

410
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: Pop goes the culture. All right, so we'll do a

411
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: few of these, Danny, and this one comes out of

412
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: the tech world. Pop goes the culture. Is it true

413
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: that a poll has gone full woke? I think they

414
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 1: were already woke. But a new feature they have added

415
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: that slows charging down on your phone when clean energy

416
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: isn't used. Did you see this? No? Yeah? And now,

417
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: of course iPhone users are claiming that Apple is actually

418
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: trying to trick them into upgrading by quietly slowing the

419
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: charging down. That explains why my phone has been moving

420
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: so slow, because everything's dirty over here, Daddy, dirt, dirty dirty,

421
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,239
Speaker 1: you're dirty devil. Yeah, Apple quietly releasing a feature that

422
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: determines if and when an iPhone charges. The feature slows

423
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: down the process when quote sustainable close quote electricity is unavailable,

424
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,239
Speaker 1: and people believe many people now believing that Apple has

425
00:26:55,320 --> 00:27:01,719
Speaker 1: quietly added this trick to get them to buy new phones.

426
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: And there's a bit of an uproar that is going on,

427
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: and they want to sell thousand dollars phones. What the

428
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: fuck is clean energy charging? Anyway? What does that even mean?

429
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,719
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I don't I don't get that.

430
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I plug my phone in. That's whatever power

431
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: I have. I have. Now the good news, And this

432
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: is as a public service, Danny. If you do happen

433
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: to have an iPhone on your iPhone, if you tap

434
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 1: on settings, these settings, I'm want to do this right

435
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 1: now because I've not actually done this. So I'm gonna

436
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: get my iPhone out. I'm want to say here, all right,

437
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: I got mine out. Two settings all right? If you

438
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: tap battery, followed by battery, health and charging. So, by

439
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: the way, mine says, I averaged fifteen point five hours

440
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: a day on my phone? Is that bad? Oh? Man?

441
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: Let me see how many hours exactly? I don't know

442
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: how many hours? Oh screen the screen time? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

443
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,479
Speaker 1: that's a lot. Uh oh what I said? All right,

444
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: So you battery, let's see tap on battery, follow battery

445
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: to health, battery health and charging, all right, and then

446
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 1: you tap on the toggle button next to clean Energy Charging. Yeah,

447
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: and you turn that feature on or off. I guess

448
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: you would want to turn it off. It says, if

449
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: your region iPhone will try to reduce the iPhone, try

450
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: to reduce your carbon footprint. Oh my god, carbon footprint,

451
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 1: carbon footprint, to buy selectively charging when lower cable emission

452
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: electricity is available iPhone. Blah blah blah. So I assume

453
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: you have to turn that off, right, turn it off? Okay,

454
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: turning it off? Yeah, it was automatically on. It says

455
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: clean energy charging helps reduce carbon footprint. Turn off until tomorrow.

456
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: Turn off or cancel? Turn off, bitch, beach, turn it off.

457
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: There you go. Screw you, all right? Look at that.

458
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: That's a PSA on popcast. Big tech. Take that, big

459
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: tech and your little tricks. We're helping people out here.

460
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: We're helping them push back against the footprint. All right.

461
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: I didn't realize we were going to go down that road.

462
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: Here's an odd one. There's a glitch in the matrix,

463
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: if you will, that a bird has been filmed motionless

464
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: in midair. How is this possible, Danny G? How is

465
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: this possible? Yeah? Now, this has happened before in twenty twenty,

466
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: a year we'd all like to forget. There was a

467
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: camera hovering motionless in midair. A bird was caught by camera,

468
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: I should say, hovering in Gallop, New Mexico. Nobody could

469
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,959
Speaker 1: figure it out. People tried to explain what was going on.

470
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: They thought it was a fake. They thought it was

471
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: some kind of photoshop thing. So here we are in

472
00:29:55,560 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, and oops, it happened again. A mystery

473
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: unfolding in British Columbia, oh A man capturing a video

474
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: of a bird floating in the air motions. The footage

475
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: shows a colored bird in the sky with nothing attached

476
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: to it. It happened about one pm. This happened back

477
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: to February eighteenth near a secondary school and the man says,

478
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: that's a dead bird and it's just floating in the air,

479
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: no strings, no nothing. And during the video, the man

480
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: moves around to show there's nothing attached the bird, nor

481
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: as it perched on anything. He zooms in on the

482
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: life like bird, which seems to be swaying slightly with

483
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: the wind, but does not flinch or moved. Uh, man, weird,

484
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: that is pretty crazy. I don't I don't know what's

485
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: going on with that? But it's a wacky world out there,

486
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: my man. It's a wacky, wacky world, is what it is.

487
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: Speaking of wacky world, you guys talk about on your

488
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: show with the Boys, did you talk about that Madonna

489
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: is now dating one of her children's trainers, thirty five

490
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: years her junior. No at that? Yeah, Madonna, she's sixty

491
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: four years old and she is romancing someone named Josh Popper.

492
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: I don't know who that is. He's twenty nine years old.

493
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: Who twenty nine years old? Wow? And so yeah, there

494
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: you go, the New York City trainer. And according to

495
00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: the tabloids, and they're never wrong, the Queen of is

496
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: dating a twenty nine years man. The story she must

497
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: have late at night in bed if you asked her, like, hey,

498
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: tell me about your dating life in your twenties and thirties,

499
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: Imagine the story she has. I mean, from Tupac to

500
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: Warren Beatty. Yeah, she's seen and done at all. Literally,

501
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: But what could they possibly have in common other than

502
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: the obvious? You know what I'm saying? What menopause is

503
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: he pre med? What does he know about menopause? When

504
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: this guy's hooking up with the queen of pop. You

505
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: think he's going like a Vergin. You think he's like,

506
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: you know, thinking some old madonnaitons from back in the

507
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: day and alive. All right, Well, how about this lawyer.

508
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: This is quite the story. A Florida lawyer arrested for

509
00:32:54,720 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: spending his clients settlement money on drugs and only fans.

510
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: This guy, this guy was going, I was going for it.

511
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: Forty four year old attorney facing charges of money laundering,

512
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: grand theft for defrauding sixteen clients. He's this guy stole

513
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: more than eight hundred thousand dollars and he blew the

514
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: money on drugs and and only fans. Sounds like a

515
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: good weekend. The only fans thing is fascinating to me

516
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: that the amount of dudes that is sending money into this,

517
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: it blows my mind. It is the modern peep show, right.

518
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: We remember when we were younger, Danny back, they had

519
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: before the internet porn, they had peep shows. In New York.

520
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: Used to be a bunch of those. Yeah, it was

521
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: all peep shows, nudes, nudes, nudes, girls, girls, girls, all

522
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: that stuff, and that all went away. They cleaned up

523
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,479
Speaker 1: time Score Disney bought all that. But it's the same concept, right,

524
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: it's it's it's like big peep show, at least for

525
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: these women that do this, and that's crazy. His bank

526
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 1: record show. He spent thirty thousand dollars on the website

527
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: only fans thousand dollars A man, Old man, old man.

528
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: He spent almost four thousand dollars on PayPal, twenty four

529
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: thousand dollars on uber. Pretty pretty wild. Here's something we

530
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: can look forward to in advertising on pop gills the culture.

531
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: Rick Flair is going to be the face of cannabis

532
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: products for a rectile dysfunction. Whoa yeah, he is partnering

533
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: with Mike Tyson's Weed company, a new line of products.

00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,240
Speaker 1: So you do a little weed and your your standard

00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,240
Speaker 1: gonna have to add that to the well. Rick Flair

538
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: is like, hey, listen, you know, I don't know how

539
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: many years I have left here, and I might as

540
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: well get as much money as I possibly can, and

541
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: I can, I can pass on this inheritance, this massive

542
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: amount of money. I mean, what is he seventy He's

543
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: seventy four So, but he's a wrestler, So in wrestling years,

544
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: that's like one hundred and fourteen, isn't it. Yeah, Yeah,

545
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: wrestlers have traditionally not not been around. We don't want

546
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: to jinx him, but I've been around that long, all right.

547
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: Last one in pop goes the culture. Ford is patenting

548
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: self driving, a car technology that will repossess itself if

549
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 1: the owner fails to keep up with payments. So like,

550
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,919
Speaker 1: you don't pay your car and Ford, we'll just it's

551
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: a self driving thing. You'll just repossess the car. The

552
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: owner point the way on yeah, and it gets my

553
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:14,439
Speaker 1: lying car eyes. But yeah, they presented this this technology.

554
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: I'll have your payment on tooth day. This is gonna

555
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: be bad news for the repo guys that listen to

556
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: the show overnight that repossess cars while they're driving around.

557
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: But yeah. The story claims that the technology is so

558
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: advanced Apple getting the patent on this that the car

559
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: will repossess itself. The computer tells the car to drive

560
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: back to the show room if payments payments aren't made.

561
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: I also said there's a version of this. If the

562
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 1: car is determined to be too beaten up, they will

563
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: drive the car will drive itself to like a Junkyard

564
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: or a place where they can, you know, just scrap

565
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: the car. Yeah, here you go. So if you're planning

566
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: on not paying for your car payments, you probably should

567
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: not get afford I would think that's the lesson. That

568
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: would be the obvious lesson. And as far as the scientifical,

569
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a lot of time for let's get scientifical.

570
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: There were a couple of stories that that popped up

571
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: that I wanted to yap about and get to. And

572
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 1: here's one that says humans could have wings, tentacles, or

573
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: an extra arm in the next few decades. What which

574
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: of those would you like to have? Wings, tentacles, or

575
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: an extra arm. Well, as you know, because your right

576
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: hand is always getting a workout. I know, I knew

577
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: you were gonna do. My right hand was getting a workout.

578
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: I hear, well, Ben, I happened already have an extra arm.

579
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: My nickname in high school was tripod Man. That was

580
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: my nickname. Yeah, I mean, that would be cool to

581
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: have four arms, tentacles though, that would be kind of neat,

582
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: but the wings actually being able to fly. Just think, Danny,

583
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: your kids, how are people going to have wings? Is

584
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: this gonna be surgery? Experts have already designed a third

585
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: thumb controlled by foot movements that they believe the device

586
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: is a step forward more dramatic additions to the body.

587
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: They talked about wings, tentacles, and extra arms could be

588
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 1: a reality in the next few decades. They are talking

589
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,959
Speaker 1: about human augmentation. This sounds out of a horror movie.

590
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 1: Isn't this what Frankenstein was all about? I think, wow, yeah, Well,

591
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: I could tell somebody that I see myself as a

592
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: hornet and I am transitioning to being a hornet, and

593
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: that's why I'm having surgery to have some wings put on.

594
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: But we live in the year twenty twenty three. Well,

595
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: if you identify as a hornet, Danny, damn it, you're

596
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: a hornet and that's all the matters. It doesn't matter

597
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 1: if you have the hornet parts. You're a hornet and

598
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: that's all you need right there, boom, just to inventory

599
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: and just say it, say it is anyway. Researchers have designed,

600
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: as we said, a third thumb controlled by foot movements,

601
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: which allow the weaker or the wearer rather to unscrew

602
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: a bottle peel a banana or thread a needle using

603
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: just one hand. Yeah, did they have a drawing of

604
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 1: a what a human would look like with with wings?

605
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: I need a new drop from you saying my right

606
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 1: hand was threading a needle. Yeah, there you go, gonna

607
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 1: add that, add that to the mix. Wow, that's uh,

608
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. There you go. This this wing thing

609
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: looks like it's like a bat. This person's like a

610
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: bat with this, these these giant wings em standing on

611
00:39:56,040 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: a cliff. And yeah, well, if you that's not that

612
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: long though, that seems like way too soon. That seems

613
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: like a few decades. That's a generation is two and

614
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: a half decades. Two and a a half decades, so that

615
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: would be a generation from now. I'm gonna I'm gonna

616
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: say a hard no on that one. I'm gonna say

617
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: hard no on that one. Scientists are trying to use

618
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: lab grown mini brains to create powerful biocomputers. This, what

619
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 1: could go wrong with that? Danny, Holy crap, that's any brains.

620
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: So they're using balls, Yes, exactly. They decided the big

621
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: testicles they're using it says. For years now, scientists have

622
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: been raising ethical concerns about the creation of lab grown

623
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: mini brains. At the same time, other scientists are plowing

624
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 1: full steam ahead creating these brains, these mini brains, trying

625
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: to find ways to put them to good use. And

626
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: as the story goes, a group of rogue scientists have

627
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: They've developed something called organinoid intelligence, and they shared their

628
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: research in one of the science journals, and essentially they

629
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: want to use the lab grown mini brains as biological

630
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 1: hardware for new biocomputers. It'scording to live live science. One

631
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: of the scientists for John Hopkins University spoke about this.

632
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: He said, while silicone based computers are certainly better with numbers,

633
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: brains are better at learning. I'm good on that. I

634
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: don't need that. I think we're all right, all right.

635
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:54,919
Speaker 1: Last one in scientifical. Let's get scientifical. The common flu

636
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: which many of people, maybe even you, are suffering from

637
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,760
Speaker 1: right now now, science claims it they have originated from

638
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: a fish six hundred million years ago. We can blame

639
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: a damn fish. Another reason you should not eat seafood.

640
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: You can blame a fish. Danny g how dare that fish?

641
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: Why did they think it's from a fish? I'm glad

642
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: you asked, Danny, So let's go into the meat of

643
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: the story. So all these science stories, they all have

644
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: something in common. They either have the word could may

645
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: possibly Yeah, they all throw that in there. But the

646
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: virus found in Sturgeon resembles the ancestor of all known

647
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 1: forms of human infecting influenza. Scientists believe the flu originated

648
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 1: from an ancient fish six hundred million years ago. The

649
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: team found an influenza related virus in the intestines of

650
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: a start. It was goddamn Sturgeon's danny to hear them.

651
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get out on that. Anything you want

652
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: to promote, we have the mailbag on Sunday, I will

653
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: promote that. Anything else you want to sell, advertised, promote, scream, shout,

654
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: yell about nothing here, just big thank you for downloading

655
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: these three podcasts this weekend. All right, have a great

656
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: rest of your day, and don't forget mailbag coming up tomorrow.

657
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:31,280
Speaker 1: We will catch you next time. Asta pasta bo Felician
