Speaker 1: Kabooms. If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred
Speaker 1: minutes a week was enough, think again. He's the last
Speaker 1: remnants of the old republic a sole fashion of fairness.
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow. The Clearinghouse
Speaker 1: of Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere.

Speaker 1: We are here to entertain the masses, all seven of
Speaker 1: you who download the podcast religiously every week. Danny G.
Speaker 1: It is our mission, it is our life's purpose, to
Speaker 1: provide marginal audio content, and damn it, we're gonna do
Speaker 1: it every week. Danny. Hey, that's seven and a half. Ben.
Speaker 1: Because my mom forces her little shit su to listen
Speaker 1: in the living room while she plays the podcast. He
Speaker 1: counts as a half. Let me tell you something, your mom.
Speaker 1: All moms are great unless they're not. But I'm a
Speaker 1: fan of moms. You. I support my mother mission rest
Speaker 1: in people. She had three dogs that listen to every
Speaker 1: one of my show, earf every one of the shows
Speaker 1: I ever did. I had three extra dogs that listen,
Speaker 1: and she told every other dog in the neighborhood about
Speaker 1: her son's radio show. She was very proud of her
Speaker 1: son's a little radio show. So anyway, on this edition,
Speaker 1: the fifth hour, we've got one of my favorite stories,
Speaker 1: the influencer, Snowball in Paradise, losing the inheritance. What you're
Speaker 1: doing backscratcher. But wait, there's more. We've got Pop goes
Speaker 1: the culture scientifically, and whatever we don't get to today,
Speaker 1: we can always get to on the Sunday podcast. So
Speaker 1: we'll try to get to as much of that as
Speaker 1: we can. But we begin with this, and it's really
Speaker 1: sums up my existence in social media now. There are
Speaker 1: big companies that advise people who are quasi celebrities. Foe celebt,
Speaker 1: I'm a foe selebt, I'm a real celebrit I'm a
Speaker 1: foe selebt. And so they advise these people on how
Speaker 1: to handle social media and how to have power and
Speaker 1: things like that, and they tell you you should have
Speaker 1: one name on every platform. On Instagram, on Twitter, Facebook, TikTok,
Speaker 1: that's your brand. One name. I have a name for Facebook.
Speaker 1: I have a different name for Twitter. I have a
Speaker 1: different name for Instagram. Every one of these platforms there's
Speaker 1: a different name. So I get this message on my
Speaker 1: phone from my Instagram page and this kind of caught
Speaker 1: my attention, Danny, so I said, and I clicked on it,
Speaker 1: and I got I got a look. Side of my
Speaker 1: eyes kind of puffed up a little bit, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna read this. I'm holding my phone. I'm gonna read
Speaker 1: this verbatim, Danny. So it says, hey, there, we love
Speaker 1: your profile so much and we want you to try
Speaker 1: our products for free. Oh yeah, I'm in. If it's free,
Speaker 1: it's for me. And then it says just message us
Speaker 1: at blank and then it has the name of the
Speaker 1: account to message and we'll send you some free samples,
Speaker 1: and it says don't miss out. These spots are limited.
Speaker 1: So I'm excited. I'm like, what am I gonna get?
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll get a shirt, maybe I'll get ahead, maybe
Speaker 1: I'll get a jet, you know, something pretty cool. So, Danny,
Speaker 1: I'm now going to send you the link. Because I
Speaker 1: clicked on the link. I was excited. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go shopping and I don't have to pay
Speaker 1: for anything. So here is the link. I am now
Speaker 1: an influencer and I can now I can now pick
Speaker 1: out any item on this particular page and then I
Speaker 1: will be able to wear said item. Uh, this is
Speaker 1: this is very exciting. Uh, Danny, I think you'll agree
Speaker 1: when you click on that there. That really sums up
Speaker 1: my head. Instagram models wearing little outfits. Yeah, there's a
Speaker 1: there's a bikini model over here that, there's a I
Speaker 1: don't know what that one holding, a lot of women
Speaker 1: holding purses. There's a lot to send you. That little
Speaker 1: purple top that that girls were yeah, the crop top
Speaker 1: or the yellow one. Oh man, I was so pissed.
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, you look good in that green bra.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, here we are. I'm all excited.
Speaker 1: I'm getting some stuff and it's like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's it's these weird glasses and crap like that. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, it's a little top with her boob sticking
Speaker 1: out in there. It's like a bandanna design for the
Speaker 1: little crop top. Yeah, that I'll look good in that, right,
Speaker 1: that was your left arm. That'll show my girlish figure.
Speaker 1: So for a moment, Danny, I was an influencer for
Speaker 1: a moment, For a very brief moment, I had influencer powers,
Speaker 1: and I thought, man, I finally arrived. Finally I've arrived.
Speaker 1: I can get some swag and I'm an ambassador for
Speaker 1: this company. And then it's it's like all like female stuff.
Speaker 1: What did it feel like being a Jenner? For just
Speaker 1: a moment, I was excited. Man, I was like, I
Speaker 1: was gonna text my wife and I was, hey, we've
Speaker 1: made it. We've met the family's made it, and uh no,
Speaker 1: I like it says it says inspired by today's youth,
Speaker 1: unique eye wear, vintage with style. It says on this site.
Speaker 1: And so how the fuck did they end up standing?
Speaker 1: I know it's all probably a computer or a robot
Speaker 1: or something like, but how will I end up on
Speaker 1: that list? We're like, I know, we'll send this jackass
Speaker 1: a link, and how does that happen. Anyway, it happened,
Speaker 1: So we'll move on from that. Now, these snowball in
Speaker 1: Paradise twas a winter wonderland in southern California. And this
Speaker 1: is a story that has never been told. I didn't
Speaker 1: talk about this on the podcast on the radio show.
Speaker 1: I saved it for the podcast. So where the snow
Speaker 1: meets the ocean, it never rains in La. It's not
Speaker 1: supposed to snow, for God's sakes. And so let me
Speaker 1: let me prefer this Danny by saying that it was
Speaker 1: not snowing in the north Woods. And last weekend, my
Speaker 1: plan was to have a lazy, rainy day at the
Speaker 1: Mallard match. You know, one of those days. You stay home,
Speaker 1: you wear your pajamas, you watch TV, you eat, you
Speaker 1: cook food you already have, you know, go you don't
Speaker 1: leave the house. That was my plan. And as the
Speaker 1: old line goes, if you want to make God laugh,
Speaker 1: tell them about your plans. So I'm sleeping at eight am.
Speaker 1: The power goes out. How do I know the power
Speaker 1: went out at eight am? So I'm sleeping. I'm not
Speaker 1: awake at eight am on a Saturday. I'm sleeping. And
Speaker 1: I always have white noise in the background. I have
Speaker 1: a fan, or I have summer I have the AC
Speaker 1: going the room air conditioner. Otherwise I can't sleep right,
Speaker 1: I cannot sleep. I need to have some some background.
Speaker 1: So I was awoken when that noise vanished at eight
Speaker 1: in the morning, and I tried to go back to sleep,
Speaker 1: but I knew right the power had gone out, and
Speaker 1: all as I tried to get back to sleep, and
Speaker 1: then after about thirty minutes of tossing and turning and
Speaker 1: you know what am I doing, I said, Oh, screw it.
Speaker 1: I got up and I went to the gym and
Speaker 1: I spent like two hours on the treadmill because I
Speaker 1: had nothing else. So then I got a text. I said,
Speaker 1: my wife said, hey, the power company says that the
Speaker 1: service that they're figuring out the problem is, but the
Speaker 1: service will not be on until the nighttime. So it's
Speaker 1: like at this point, it's probably ten thirty eleven in
Speaker 1: the morning. And I came home and they said they
Speaker 1: were sending a crew out fix the problem. So around
Speaker 1: around that time, my mother in law informed my life
Speaker 1: that it was snowing on the freeway where she lives
Speaker 1: in her neck of the woods near she lives kind
Speaker 1: of close to my sister in law. So we made
Speaker 1: a decision since we why would we stay at home.
Speaker 1: Was cold and rainy, and the power was out. We
Speaker 1: couldn't use the refrigerator. We couldn't you know all that.
Speaker 1: So we made a decision to make a run out too.
Speaker 1: I could be Uncle Benny, right, make a day of it.
Speaker 1: Getting the mallamobile, headed head to the area. The snow
Speaker 1: was falling, which, by the way, for those of you
Speaker 1: in southern California, right off the two ten freeway, it
Speaker 1: was a winter wonderland kind of past Glendora, Sandemas past
Speaker 1: that area, and so it was it was. And so
Speaker 1: we got out there and my mother in law said,
Speaker 1: this is where it's snowing. We get out there on
Speaker 1: the freeway, no snow, It was raining, there was no snow,
Speaker 1: So we decided to get off. I decided, oh, let's
Speaker 1: get off the freeway. And I got off the freeway
Speaker 1: and I turned left and I went four blocks kind
Speaker 1: of towards the mountains, and boom, it was a snow utopia.
Speaker 1: It was awesome. It really was a winter wonderland and
Speaker 1: it felt like I was back and I'd been in
Speaker 1: the snow and New York or Boston or Connecticut, you
Speaker 1: know one of those places. It was beautiful. It was
Speaker 1: snowball and paradise. There used to be a sports not
Speaker 1: a sports anchor. Was a news anchor in La named
Speaker 1: Jerry Dumpy, and he said his famous line was from
Speaker 1: the desert to the sea to all of southern California.
Speaker 1: It's a good evening, an old school newscaster. And you
Speaker 1: could add from the surf to the slopes, right because
Speaker 1: it was crazy. And and you had the photo which
Speaker 1: I didn't take a picture of it. I hadn't posted,
Speaker 1: but these you know, those Spanish style houses with the
Speaker 1: the uh, the like kind of orange brick on the
Speaker 1: on the you know what I'm talking about. Yeahs covered
Speaker 1: in snow. And it was like the craziest thing covered
Speaker 1: in snow. And so we had a brief snowball fight
Speaker 1: and loved it. Wonderful time. And then we just kind
Speaker 1: of mosied around, went to bass Pro shops, wandered around
Speaker 1: that ginormous store, ate some donuts at that legendary donut
Speaker 1: place out there, donut Man, and then I hung out.
Speaker 1: I hung out with my niece and nephew. Awesome little
Speaker 1: kids and the and they lived kind of in bear country,
Speaker 1: and my nephew was playing the Floor's Lava. Great game,
Speaker 1: wonderful game and nothing great when we were when I
Speaker 1: was a kid, we had like the ocean, there were sharks.
Speaker 1: We pretended it was like sharks, not so much the
Speaker 1: floor's lava, but it was like there was like ocean
Speaker 1: filled with evil sharks. But I had a fun day.
Speaker 1: We turned to the Mallor mansion and by the time
Speaker 1: we got back, the power was on there. So it
Speaker 1: was a happy, happy time. And the good news that
Speaker 1: there's no losing of the inheritance, there's none. Danny, Well,
Speaker 1: this is a snow story also that ties into yours,
Speaker 1: because there are parts of California where maybe they've gotten
Speaker 1: some snow from time to time, but not this amount
Speaker 1: of snow, not where you need a snow plow just
Speaker 1: to go to the grocery store. My dad, he's not
Speaker 1: part of the Garadeli Empire because he got out of
Speaker 1: high school. He decided to go his own direction. So
Speaker 1: for years he has co owned and operated a construction
Speaker 1: company and it's taken him to places like Denver, where
Speaker 1: he was part of the construction crew on the Broncos
Speaker 1: latest stadiums. He also built some homes in Colorado Springs
Speaker 1: and then most famously built some home with his partner
Speaker 1: in bass Lake, right outside of Yosemite. He stood there
Speaker 1: like a prospector ben on this land in bass Lake
Speaker 1: that's some big wig, some rich guy owned, and he's
Speaker 1: helping to build this guy a lake home. And he
Speaker 1: told himself, someday, I'm going to come back to bass
Speaker 1: Lake here and build my own house. And that's what
Speaker 1: he did. About a decade now, he's been living there
Speaker 1: on the lake. Still works part time for the construction company,
Speaker 1: just as a supervisor, you know, because he's done with
Speaker 1: the holding the hammer himself. So I'm going to send
Speaker 1: you some before and after pictures. He built himself a
Speaker 1: nice little home there on the lake, all right, and
Speaker 1: you'll see the pictures. The last time I visited, I
Speaker 1: took some pictures of his front deck. Okay, I'm clicking
Speaker 1: this here. Yeah, beautiful, beautiful, big trees and right in
Speaker 1: the middle of the forest it feels like yeah, and
Speaker 1: literally cross over the street and you are a hundred
Speaker 1: feet away from Bass Lake from the water, and they've
Speaker 1: gotten snow from time to time. But he has been
Speaker 1: snowed in with my step mom for ten straight days now.
Speaker 1: And look at the Look at how much snow has
Speaker 1: fallen there. This looks like buffalo. That looks like the
Speaker 1: That looks like a lake effect blizzard you would see
Speaker 1: outside a Bill's game. It does. That's a while. It's
Speaker 1: so bad that the neighbor to the left had their
Speaker 1: roof cave in. Oh no, the neighbor to the right,
Speaker 1: the guy was trying to light his furnace and it
Speaker 1: exploded in his face. There's face burned, his hair, his face,
Speaker 1: his eyebrows off. Oh my gosh, there's been no snowplow action.
Speaker 1: They have been stuck there, trapped like rats. Finally they
Speaker 1: have enough food, or they had enough food, or were
Speaker 1: they prepared, or they knew that they were going to
Speaker 1: have a bad storm for a couple of days. They
Speaker 1: had no idea that it was going to be this bad,
Speaker 1: that the snow was gonna come down like this and
Speaker 1: collapse roofs there in their neighborhood. Everybody's been freaking out
Speaker 1: there because they can't even go into town to get supplies.
Speaker 1: As he stands outside his house there, the snow is
Speaker 1: coming up to his chest. Wow, that's crazy. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So finally a couple of days ago they were able
Speaker 1: to for a couple of hours with shovels dig their
Speaker 1: truck out of it and they were able to at
Speaker 1: least drive to the town over and they are now
Speaker 1: in a hotel. All right, Well, that's do they have
Speaker 1: an a frame like if you don't have an a
Speaker 1: frame roof, like I was hearing that some of these
Speaker 1: places in the mountains around San Berardino County, the houses
Speaker 1: that don't have an a frame roof, as you talked
Speaker 1: about that guy, the snow sits there and will collapse
Speaker 1: the roof. Yeah, that you need to have that triangle
Speaker 1: shaped roof or else you're screwed. You know, it's a
Speaker 1: great future career. Let's he a roofer in an area
Speaker 1: like that. You are going to be a hot demand.
Speaker 1: You know what we should have done as a hustle though,
Speaker 1: get a snowblower. He blew me off at a hotel
Speaker 1: near lax How dare you and go up there? And
Speaker 1: we would have made so much money? How if much
Speaker 1: money people would have paid. There was somebody going through
Speaker 1: the neighborhoods there selling gas in propane, sure, charging triple
Speaker 1: the price, making a boatload of money, and he bought
Speaker 1: some pails of gas from the guy. That was the
Speaker 1: only resource he was able to get from somebody to
Speaker 1: keep his generator running. Wow, price couching the American way, right,
Speaker 1: that's what happens. It's like when there's an earthquake in
Speaker 1: the hotels, all of a sudden getting a lot more expensive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: does look like Buffalo. I'll have to tweet that out
Speaker 1: at Danny G Radio. Yeah, it looks like something I've
Speaker 1: seen at a tailgate outside of Bill's game, where you're like,
Speaker 1: what the hell is that? I don't get it? Speaking
Speaker 1: of the what what what you're doing? And I had
Speaker 1: a few more stragglers. I can now say the word
Speaker 1: that that have told us what they do. First, Mike
Speaker 1: from Fullerton says, I was brushing my teeth and floshing flossing.
Speaker 1: When you asked what people were doing at the start
Speaker 1: of Saturday's pot, I mainly yell at Alexa to play
Speaker 1: the fifth hour while I'm doing monotonous things on the
Speaker 1: weekend like working out, shaving, et cetera. So that's from
Speaker 1: Mike in Flerton. I didn't realize that the show would
Speaker 1: play if you just ask Alexa, you just yell at
Speaker 1: Alexa and then it'll play the fifth hour. That's pretty cool, dude.
Speaker 1: Alexa can do anything I say, Alexa, do the splits, Hey, Alexa,
Speaker 1: send me some money, Alexa, twerk, shake that moody. Come
Speaker 1: on pimping, get your tims on Kevin in Kansas, he
Speaker 1: writes into the very popular what You're doing segment, he says,
Speaker 1: while he's listening to the Fifth Hour, he is jogging
Speaker 1: or mowing yards seasonally, say is my favorite podcast to
Speaker 1: work too. Well. Thank you God bless you, Kevin. And
Speaker 1: you've been great over the years, sending us questions pretty
Speaker 1: much every week religiously. In fact, it's at the point now, Kevin,
Speaker 1: if you don't send a question in, we feel like
Speaker 1: we need to do a wellness check on you to
Speaker 1: make sure everything's okay. We're at that We're at that
Speaker 1: point in the relationship. That's where we are in the relationship,
Speaker 1: and that's just just the way it is. So the backscratcher, Danny,
Speaker 1: and before we get to the backstratcher, if you would
Speaker 1: like to send in if you have not yet done it,
Speaker 1: and you're late to the party, send in what you're doing.
Speaker 1: We'll still mix those in if we get some some
Speaker 1: good ones, ben it. Send me an email, Real fifth
Speaker 1: hour at gmail dot com, Real fifth Hour at gmail
Speaker 1: dot com, all letters, no numbers, Real fifth Hour at
Speaker 1: gmail dot com, and just put what you're doing and
Speaker 1: explain what you're doing and we'll read it on there.
Speaker 1: So the backscratcher, the goal is to get to four hundred, Danny.
Speaker 1: The goal. We've got to get to four hundred by
Speaker 1: the end of the year. That is a nominal goal.
Speaker 1: You said by the summer. I said by the end
Speaker 1: of year. You said by the summer. And these are
Speaker 1: the Apple podcast reviews that Bannon's talking about. So this week, Danny,
Speaker 1: did we get one, two, four? Well, no, no reviews.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, dosts. Yeah the answer Danny boom right there.
Speaker 1: Four we had four reviews. Right, this is big. Well,
Speaker 1: this is cool. So this puts us over the three
Speaker 1: eighty mark. Where three eighty one, so we only need
Speaker 1: nineteen more reviews. But let's get to the nice reviews
Speaker 1: right now from fellow listeners, men, women, and children. In
Speaker 1: the backscratcher segment, you scratch our back, we'll scratch your back,
Speaker 1: we'll give you a weekly tip of the on air light.
Speaker 1: Here to the loyal supporters of the podcast on that
Speaker 1: Apple podcast page. Now, why do we obsess about the
Speaker 1: Apple podcast page Because we have corporate overlords that do
Speaker 1: love that page for whatever reason, they think that is
Speaker 1: the end all be all, And we are fighting the
Speaker 1: good fight against other podcasts that have bots and and
Speaker 1: pay for reviews. We don't do it. We have no
Speaker 1: budget when it comes to that kind of thing. The
Speaker 1: first review, though, comes from Melissa in Rocky Mount, Virginia.
Speaker 1: She writes in love the show, she says, I've been
Speaker 1: authorized by Brigadier General Jason and Rocky Mount leave a
Speaker 1: five star review. Thanks for keeping my husband entertained while
Speaker 1: he is at work and on the weekends. I have
Speaker 1: also come to love your show. I can listen when
Speaker 1: I can listen you rock Well, that's very nice. Look
Speaker 1: at that. See that that right there is a wonderful
Speaker 1: wife because she know she's maybe not a big fan
Speaker 1: of the show, but she supports her husband and she
Speaker 1: knows that the legend that is Jason and Rocky Mount
Speaker 1: Virginia has been a big supporter of the show for
Speaker 1: years and that's awesome. So and also, Melissa, thank your
Speaker 1: husband because he did send he's a hat benefactor. He
Speaker 1: sent me a hat from the local Salem Red Sox team.
Speaker 1: It's in my rotation. So it's very good. Happy husband
Speaker 1: would blow jobs, happy life. That's absolutely great. Every woman
Speaker 1: knows that. All right, James and Arkansas, Right City says,
Speaker 1: just trying to help you, help you to reach your
Speaker 1: goal for reviews. Well, thank you, James. I have a
Speaker 1: side job driving cars in between dealerships and delivering cars
Speaker 1: purchased off the dealership website. Sorry, you two had to
Speaker 1: buy in this market. The little windows stickers added by
Speaker 1: the dealership have market adjustment two to four thousand dollars
Speaker 1: above sticker. Oh man, yeah, I got stuck with that.
Speaker 1: I enjoy listening driving down the highway. That's James in Arkansas.
Speaker 1: God bless you, James. That is an interesting job. So
Speaker 1: I assume you'd drive. I would assume James, and he's
Speaker 1: not there to answer this, Danny, but I would assume this.
Speaker 1: The way this works is you'd have some kind of
Speaker 1: tow truck or something like that. You'd drop the car
Speaker 1: off and then that's it. Right, You're done you'd drive
Speaker 1: back and that how that would work? Yeah, I would
Speaker 1: think kind of bobbies. Next up, it says a headline,
Speaker 1: wonderful pair. This is from b nine zero two one zero.
Speaker 1: So it's just a fine wine pairs nicely with an
Speaker 1: interesting stinky cheesee, just like a fine wine pairs nicely
Speaker 1: with a interesting stinky cheese. That's a funny Danny G
Speaker 1: pairs nicely with Ben Maller, and the fifth Hour pairs
Speaker 1: nicely with the Ben Mallers Show. So glad the two
Speaker 1: of you put forth the extra time to make weekend
Speaker 1: content that makes me tuned into Fox Sports Radio and
Speaker 1: not have to seek out another station. Never disappointed, Love it,
Speaker 1: Keep it up. That's from the nine O two one
Speaker 1: oh no name. Just that's what it said last one
Speaker 1: on the backscratcher. These are actual reviews by actual listeners
Speaker 1: on the Apple podcast page. And if you like this
Speaker 1: and you want to be part of it next week, Boom,
Speaker 1: you can be part of it. Cliff in Nashville, he's
Speaker 1: a regular supporter of our content. Cliff in Nashville says
Speaker 1: this podcast is great for your mind and body. He
Speaker 1: says walking for exercise is better with Ben Long walks
Speaker 1: are boring. That is true. That is kind of boring.

Speaker 1: and Danny you do too, Right, this is great Apple
Speaker 1: podcast page help us out. Yeah, thank you to all
Speaker 1: four of you. That's really nice to take some time
Speaker 1: out of your day to make those reviews. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: do appreciate it. And we're not kidding. Some people think
Speaker 1: we're kidding. I trust I promise you we are not kidding. No,
Speaker 1: we are bean counters at the company that sift through
Speaker 1: all the reviews. Yeah, and this is a product of iHeartMedia.
Speaker 1: And as you know, Danny, they love their podcast like
Speaker 1: they are. I don't want to speak for the company,
Speaker 1: but I feel like they're more into the podcast stuff
Speaker 1: than the radio stuff at this point. They love podcast
Speaker 1: They changed their name. It's not iHeartRadio, it's iHeart Media.
Speaker 1: And a big part of media is podcasting. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: they they're the largest podcaster. We're competing with like a
Speaker 1: gazillion podcast. There are other companies that sign up for
Speaker 1: ihearts just to have their podcasts put out there. So
Speaker 1: at least for podcasting, we work for the right company. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're doing okay in that department. Pop goes the culture.
Speaker 1: Let's give it up for Ohio, ow Ohio our body.
Speaker 1: Pop goes the culture. All right, so we'll do a
Speaker 1: few of these, Danny, and this one comes out of
Speaker 1: the tech world. Pop goes the culture. Is it true
Speaker 1: that a poll has gone full woke? I think they
Speaker 1: were already woke. But a new feature they have added
Speaker 1: that slows charging down on your phone when clean energy
Speaker 1: isn't used. Did you see this? No? Yeah? And now,
Speaker 1: of course iPhone users are claiming that Apple is actually
Speaker 1: trying to trick them into upgrading by quietly slowing the
Speaker 1: charging down. That explains why my phone has been moving
Speaker 1: so slow, because everything's dirty over here, Daddy, dirt, dirty dirty,
Speaker 1: you're dirty devil. Yeah, Apple quietly releasing a feature that
Speaker 1: determines if and when an iPhone charges. The feature slows
Speaker 1: down the process when quote sustainable close quote electricity is unavailable,
Speaker 1: and people believe many people now believing that Apple has
Speaker 1: quietly added this trick to get them to buy new phones.
Speaker 1: And there's a bit of an uproar that is going on,
Speaker 1: and they want to sell thousand dollars phones. What the
Speaker 1: fuck is clean energy charging? Anyway? What does that even mean?
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I don't I don't get that.
Speaker 1: I mean, I plug my phone in. That's whatever power
Speaker 1: I have. I have. Now the good news, And this
Speaker 1: is as a public service, Danny. If you do happen
Speaker 1: to have an iPhone on your iPhone, if you tap
Speaker 1: on settings, these settings, I'm want to do this right
Speaker 1: now because I've not actually done this. So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get my iPhone out. I'm want to say here, all right,
Speaker 1: I got mine out. Two settings all right? If you
Speaker 1: tap battery, followed by battery, health and charging. So, by
Speaker 1: the way, mine says, I averaged fifteen point five hours
Speaker 1: a day on my phone? Is that bad? Oh? Man?
Speaker 1: Let me see how many hours exactly? I don't know
Speaker 1: how many hours? Oh screen the screen time? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a lot. Uh oh what I said? All right,
Speaker 1: So you battery, let's see tap on battery, follow battery
Speaker 1: to health, battery health and charging, all right, and then
Speaker 1: you tap on the toggle button next to clean Energy Charging. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you turn that feature on or off. I guess
Speaker 1: you would want to turn it off. It says, if
Speaker 1: your region iPhone will try to reduce the iPhone, try
Speaker 1: to reduce your carbon footprint. Oh my god, carbon footprint,
Speaker 1: carbon footprint, to buy selectively charging when lower cable emission
Speaker 1: electricity is available iPhone. Blah blah blah. So I assume
Speaker 1: you have to turn that off, right, turn it off? Okay,
Speaker 1: turning it off? Yeah, it was automatically on. It says
Speaker 1: clean energy charging helps reduce carbon footprint. Turn off until tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Turn off or cancel? Turn off, bitch, beach, turn it off.
Speaker 1: There you go. Screw you, all right? Look at that.
Speaker 1: That's a PSA on popcast. Big tech. Take that, big
Speaker 1: tech and your little tricks. We're helping people out here.
Speaker 1: We're helping them push back against the footprint. All right.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize we were going to go down that road.
Speaker 1: Here's an odd one. There's a glitch in the matrix,
Speaker 1: if you will, that a bird has been filmed motionless
Speaker 1: in midair. How is this possible, Danny G? How is
Speaker 1: this possible? Yeah? Now, this has happened before in twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: a year we'd all like to forget. There was a
Speaker 1: camera hovering motionless in midair. A bird was caught by camera,
Speaker 1: I should say, hovering in Gallop, New Mexico. Nobody could
Speaker 1: figure it out. People tried to explain what was going on.
Speaker 1: They thought it was a fake. They thought it was
Speaker 1: some kind of photoshop thing. So here we are in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, and oops, it happened again. A mystery
Speaker 1: unfolding in British Columbia, oh A man capturing a video
Speaker 1: of a bird floating in the air motions. The footage
Speaker 1: shows a colored bird in the sky with nothing attached
Speaker 1: to it. It happened about one pm. This happened back
Speaker 1: to February eighteenth near a secondary school and the man says,
Speaker 1: that's a dead bird and it's just floating in the air,
Speaker 1: no strings, no nothing. And during the video, the man
Speaker 1: moves around to show there's nothing attached the bird, nor
Speaker 1: as it perched on anything. He zooms in on the
Speaker 1: life like bird, which seems to be swaying slightly with
Speaker 1: the wind, but does not flinch or moved. Uh, man, weird,
Speaker 1: that is pretty crazy. I don't I don't know what's
Speaker 1: going on with that? But it's a wacky world out there,
Speaker 1: my man. It's a wacky, wacky world, is what it is.
Speaker 1: Speaking of wacky world, you guys talk about on your
Speaker 1: show with the Boys, did you talk about that Madonna
Speaker 1: is now dating one of her children's trainers, thirty five
Speaker 1: years her junior. No at that? Yeah, Madonna, she's sixty
Speaker 1: four years old and she is romancing someone named Josh Popper.
Speaker 1: I don't know who that is. He's twenty nine years old.
Speaker 1: Who twenty nine years old? Wow? And so yeah, there
Speaker 1: you go, the New York City trainer. And according to
Speaker 1: the tabloids, and they're never wrong, the Queen of is
Speaker 1: dating a twenty nine years man. The story she must
Speaker 1: have late at night in bed if you asked her, like, hey,
Speaker 1: tell me about your dating life in your twenties and thirties,
Speaker 1: Imagine the story she has. I mean, from Tupac to
Speaker 1: Warren Beatty. Yeah, she's seen and done at all. Literally,
Speaker 1: But what could they possibly have in common other than
Speaker 1: the obvious? You know what I'm saying? What menopause is
Speaker 1: he pre med? What does he know about menopause? When
Speaker 1: this guy's hooking up with the queen of pop. You
Speaker 1: think he's going like a Vergin. You think he's like,
Speaker 1: you know, thinking some old madonnaitons from back in the
Speaker 1: day and alive. All right, Well, how about this lawyer.
Speaker 1: This is quite the story. A Florida lawyer arrested for
Speaker 1: spending his clients settlement money on drugs and only fans.
Speaker 1: This guy, this guy was going, I was going for it.
Speaker 1: Forty four year old attorney facing charges of money laundering,
Speaker 1: grand theft for defrauding sixteen clients. He's this guy stole
Speaker 1: more than eight hundred thousand dollars and he blew the
Speaker 1: money on drugs and and only fans. Sounds like a
Speaker 1: good weekend. The only fans thing is fascinating to me
Speaker 1: that the amount of dudes that is sending money into this,
Speaker 1: it blows my mind. It is the modern peep show, right.
Speaker 1: We remember when we were younger, Danny back, they had
Speaker 1: before the internet porn, they had peep shows. In New York.
Speaker 1: Used to be a bunch of those. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: all peep shows, nudes, nudes, nudes, girls, girls, girls, all
Speaker 1: that stuff, and that all went away. They cleaned up
Speaker 1: time Score Disney bought all that. But it's the same concept, right,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's like big peep show, at least for
Speaker 1: these women that do this, and that's crazy. His bank
Speaker 1: record show. He spent thirty thousand dollars on the website
Speaker 1: only fans thousand dollars A man, Old man, old man.
Speaker 1: He spent almost four thousand dollars on PayPal, twenty four
Speaker 1: thousand dollars on uber. Pretty pretty wild. Here's something we
Speaker 1: can look forward to in advertising on pop gills the culture.
Speaker 1: Rick Flair is going to be the face of cannabis
Speaker 1: products for a rectile dysfunction. Whoa yeah, he is partnering
Speaker 1: with Mike Tyson's Weed company, a new line of products.
Speaker 1: So you do a little weed and your your standard
Speaker 1: attention boys from Rick Flair Spinal You might have have
Speaker 1: to use that on the Covino and Rich tribute. You
Speaker 1: gonna have to add that to the well. Rick Flair
Speaker 1: is like, hey, listen, you know, I don't know how
Speaker 1: many years I have left here, and I might as
Speaker 1: well get as much money as I possibly can, and
Speaker 1: I can, I can pass on this inheritance, this massive
Speaker 1: amount of money. I mean, what is he seventy He's
Speaker 1: seventy four So, but he's a wrestler, So in wrestling years,
Speaker 1: that's like one hundred and fourteen, isn't it. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: wrestlers have traditionally not not been around. We don't want
Speaker 1: to jinx him, but I've been around that long, all right.
Speaker 1: Last one in pop goes the culture. Ford is patenting
Speaker 1: self driving, a car technology that will repossess itself if
Speaker 1: the owner fails to keep up with payments. So like,
Speaker 1: you don't pay your car and Ford, we'll just it's
Speaker 1: a self driving thing. You'll just repossess the car. The
Speaker 1: owner point the way on yeah, and it gets my
Speaker 1: lying car eyes. But yeah, they presented this this technology.
Speaker 1: I'll have your payment on tooth day. This is gonna
Speaker 1: be bad news for the repo guys that listen to
Speaker 1: the show overnight that repossess cars while they're driving around.
Speaker 1: But yeah. The story claims that the technology is so
Speaker 1: advanced Apple getting the patent on this that the car
Speaker 1: will repossess itself. The computer tells the car to drive
Speaker 1: back to the show room if payments payments aren't made.
Speaker 1: I also said there's a version of this. If the
Speaker 1: car is determined to be too beaten up, they will
Speaker 1: drive the car will drive itself to like a Junkyard
Speaker 1: or a place where they can, you know, just scrap
Speaker 1: the car. Yeah, here you go. So if you're planning
Speaker 1: on not paying for your car payments, you probably should
Speaker 1: not get afford I would think that's the lesson. That
Speaker 1: would be the obvious lesson. And as far as the scientifical,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a lot of time for let's get scientifical.
Speaker 1: There were a couple of stories that that popped up
Speaker 1: that I wanted to yap about and get to. And
Speaker 1: here's one that says humans could have wings, tentacles, or
Speaker 1: an extra arm in the next few decades. What which
Speaker 1: of those would you like to have? Wings, tentacles, or
Speaker 1: an extra arm. Well, as you know, because your right
Speaker 1: hand is always getting a workout. I know, I knew
Speaker 1: you were gonna do. My right hand was getting a workout.
Speaker 1: I hear, well, Ben, I happened already have an extra arm.
Speaker 1: My nickname in high school was tripod Man. That was
Speaker 1: my nickname. Yeah, I mean, that would be cool to
Speaker 1: have four arms, tentacles though, that would be kind of neat,
Speaker 1: but the wings actually being able to fly. Just think, Danny,
Speaker 1: your kids, how are people going to have wings? Is
Speaker 1: this gonna be surgery? Experts have already designed a third
Speaker 1: thumb controlled by foot movements that they believe the device
Speaker 1: is a step forward more dramatic additions to the body.
Speaker 1: They talked about wings, tentacles, and extra arms could be
Speaker 1: a reality in the next few decades. They are talking
Speaker 1: about human augmentation. This sounds out of a horror movie.
Speaker 1: Isn't this what Frankenstein was all about? I think, wow, yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: I could tell somebody that I see myself as a
Speaker 1: hornet and I am transitioning to being a hornet, and
Speaker 1: that's why I'm having surgery to have some wings put on.
Speaker 1: But we live in the year twenty twenty three. Well,
Speaker 1: if you identify as a hornet, Danny, damn it, you're
Speaker 1: a hornet and that's all the matters. It doesn't matter
Speaker 1: if you have the hornet parts. You're a hornet and
Speaker 1: that's all you need right there, boom, just to inventory
Speaker 1: and just say it, say it is anyway. Researchers have designed,
Speaker 1: as we said, a third thumb controlled by foot movements,
Speaker 1: which allow the weaker or the wearer rather to unscrew
Speaker 1: a bottle peel a banana or thread a needle using
Speaker 1: just one hand. Yeah, did they have a drawing of
Speaker 1: a what a human would look like with with wings?
Speaker 1: I need a new drop from you saying my right
Speaker 1: hand was threading a needle. Yeah, there you go, gonna
Speaker 1: add that, add that to the mix. Wow, that's uh,
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. There you go. This this wing thing
Speaker 1: looks like it's like a bat. This person's like a
Speaker 1: bat with this, these these giant wings em standing on
Speaker 1: a cliff. And yeah, well, if you that's not that
Speaker 1: long though, that seems like way too soon. That seems
Speaker 1: like a few decades. That's a generation is two and
Speaker 1: a half decades. Two and a a half decades, so that
Speaker 1: would be a generation from now. I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say a hard no on that one. I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: hard no on that one. Scientists are trying to use
Speaker 1: lab grown mini brains to create powerful biocomputers. This, what
Speaker 1: could go wrong with that? Danny, Holy crap, that's any brains.
Speaker 1: So they're using balls, Yes, exactly. They decided the big
Speaker 1: testicles they're using it says. For years now, scientists have
Speaker 1: been raising ethical concerns about the creation of lab grown
Speaker 1: mini brains. At the same time, other scientists are plowing
Speaker 1: full steam ahead creating these brains, these mini brains, trying
Speaker 1: to find ways to put them to good use. And
Speaker 1: as the story goes, a group of rogue scientists have
Speaker 1: They've developed something called organinoid intelligence, and they shared their
Speaker 1: research in one of the science journals, and essentially they
Speaker 1: want to use the lab grown mini brains as biological
Speaker 1: hardware for new biocomputers. It'scording to live live science. One
Speaker 1: of the scientists for John Hopkins University spoke about this.
Speaker 1: He said, while silicone based computers are certainly better with numbers,
Speaker 1: brains are better at learning. I'm good on that. I
Speaker 1: don't need that. I think we're all right, all right.
Speaker 1: Last one in scientifical. Let's get scientifical. The common flu
Speaker 1: which many of people, maybe even you, are suffering from
Speaker 1: right now now, science claims it they have originated from
Speaker 1: a fish six hundred million years ago. We can blame
Speaker 1: a damn fish. Another reason you should not eat seafood.
Speaker 1: You can blame a fish. Danny g how dare that fish?
Speaker 1: Why did they think it's from a fish? I'm glad
Speaker 1: you asked, Danny, So let's go into the meat of
Speaker 1: the story. So all these science stories, they all have
Speaker 1: something in common. They either have the word could may
Speaker 1: possibly Yeah, they all throw that in there. But the
Speaker 1: virus found in Sturgeon resembles the ancestor of all known
Speaker 1: forms of human infecting influenza. Scientists believe the flu originated
Speaker 1: from an ancient fish six hundred million years ago. The
Speaker 1: team found an influenza related virus in the intestines of
Speaker 1: a start. It was goddamn Sturgeon's danny to hear them.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get out on that. Anything you want
Speaker 1: to promote, we have the mailbag on Sunday, I will
Speaker 1: promote that. Anything else you want to sell, advertised, promote, scream, shout,
Speaker 1: yell about nothing here, just big thank you for downloading
Speaker 1: these three podcasts this weekend. All right, have a great
Speaker 1: rest of your day, and don't forget mailbag coming up tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We will catch you next time. Asta pasta bo Felician
