He's the last remnants 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.480 of the old Republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:15.480 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.600 rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:40.440 Maller and Danny G Radio a Glorious NFL Week fifteen. 0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:45.320 As we are recording this early in the morning on Sunday, 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:50.280 the fourteenth day of December, and let the games begin, 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:54.640 Danny G. We will see Philip Rivers play quarterback for 0:00:54.720 --> 0:01:00.000 the Indianapolis Colts later today in Seattle at age forty four. 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:03.360 And I said this week on the radio show, I 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:05.040 want to get your take on this, Danny, because I said, 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.480 all these people, ah, the Philip Rivers Hall of Fame 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.920 is his induction is going to be delayed. He's not 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.600 a Hall of Fame quarterback, none of my book. He's 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:15.759 not a Hall of Fame quarterback. 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:18.560 He sure feels like a Derek Bartzite to. 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:21.319 Me, exactly exactly. He's not a great He was a 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:25.240 terrible big game quarterback, never an All Pro. He was 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:28.360 a stat compiler. Listen, he hadn't made a ton of money, 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.959 had a good career, But you don't put everybody in 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:32.600 the Hall of Fame. 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:33.199 You don't. 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.280 You don't have to put everyone in the Hall of Fame. 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:39.800 In very clutch situations, he would throw the ball directly 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:40.920 to the other team. 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:43.800 Yeah, no, I that's what I'm saying. He just didn't 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.800 play one big games, played a long time, never was 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:51.640 a first or second team All Pro. Usually the baseline 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.400 for a Hall of Fame career, you got to be 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:55.480 an All Pro at least one time. You got to 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:59.160 be an MVP if you're you know, in that conversation, 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.440 he was always and I think I said this in 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:06.080 the monologue we did this week or last week Rivers, 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:10.919 like every year was the fourth or fifth rated quarterback 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:14.400 in the end, there was always like Drew Brees, Tom Brady, 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:18.960 Peyton Manning or someone else would be in there. His 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.079 entire run in the NFL. Anyway, So it's like he's 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.839 not really sacrificing the Hall of Fame because he's he's 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.040 not going to get it now. If something crazy happens 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.680 and the Colts do some ridiculous thing, then that would 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.520 actually enhance his Hall of Fame career if he actually 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:36.359 won a bunch of playoff games and was the reason 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:42.200 that they won. Don't hold your breath, don't. Yeah, And anyway, well, 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.520 that's fine. I'll be watching that. Also the the ram 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.520 that's a big game Rams and Lions today at Sofi 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.240 or Sofa Stadium as Helmet Man likes to call it. 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:55.960 So we'll check that out. And you're Raiders, Danny. What 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:57.880 can be said about the Raiders. It hasn't already been 0:02:57.880 --> 0:02:58.760 said about the Raiders. 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.000 You know, I don't don't think that any Pickett is 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:05.280 anything for the Eagles to worry too much about. Although 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.600 those two drives, even though they were at the end 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.360 of the game, but I was there, Broncos were not 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.440 trying to let him score. Those two drives from Kenny 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:19.160 Pickett were better than Geno Smith's entire season. Helloy, Oh, 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:23.840 it's true though, Like he escaped the pocket, he didn't 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:25.519 go down and take stupid sacks. 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:26.720 He threw the ball away. 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.519 He looked like an NFL quarterback compared to your boy, Gino. 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.160 My boy. Yes, me and Gino go way back. 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:35.920 You guys have history. 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.720 We do have a history together. Yeah yeah, Hey, hey, 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.240 I saw the Eagles. I was at the Eagle Charger game, 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.600 and they suck. Okay. The fact that the Chargers didn't 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.760 blow the Eagles out had to go to overtime is 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.200 one of the great mysteries of the Western world. Okay. 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.720 The Eagles turned the ball over, Yeah, five times, and 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:54.560 they twice. I saw it for the first time ever. 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.000 Jalen Hurts turned the ball over twice on the same 0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.680 play threw an intercept. Chargers still should have lost that game. 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.600 I mean, I was surprised Hurt's got them that far 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.520 down the field before his fifth turnover. 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.160 Don't say anything bad about Justin Herbert. You're not allowed 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.560 to criticize Justin Herbert. Do not criticize Justin Herbert. 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:13.360 Do not do it. 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:16.280 Oh my god, hey, ohio wow, can you get me 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:19.320 in the mood for the mail bag? Ohioo please, it's. 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:26.640 This bag. 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:35.600 See, that's how we do it. That is how we 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.359 get it done here on a on a Sunday. So 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.560 let's these are actual questions by actually listening to Doff. 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:42.839 You want to send a question in for a future 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.400 edition of the mail Bag as the year winds down, 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:49.479 Send it care of Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.680 Jot that down Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. No, 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:57.480 no numbers, all letters, Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.600 Name in city, name and city, name and city if 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.480 you want edit. If not, we'll just bust your balls. 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:05.120 And who wants that? All right? First up is Reggie 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.920 from Detroit, who sends an email. I says, hey, Ben 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.920 and Danny. Ben, it's almost the worst time of the year, 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:14.320 he says, for fans of sports radio, please let the 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:20.720 malin Militia know your holiday schedule. Thanks Reggie, Well, I 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:24.479 don't know. Let's put away. I know some of my 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:27.360 holiday schedule. I will be working the entire week this week. 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.760 I'll be on tonight and all week. I have been 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:35.080 requested by the company to use some of my alloted time. 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.520 As you know, I work pretty much every holiday during 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.920 the year, and since I've been at the company for 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.000 a long time, Danny, I've been grandfathered into these things 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.720 called comp days. When you work a holiday, they give 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.359 you like an extra day because they I think I 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.800 think they do that because they know I almost never 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.800 use them, so I am going to use some at 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.080 the end of the year, try to reset the buttons 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.120 a little bit. I think we'll still do the podcast 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.159 because it's a podcast, can do whatever you want, and 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.520 so I think we'll still do that, Reggie. But I 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.200 will the full week this week, and I think we'll 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.800 do a partial week the week after, and then that'll 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:13.000 probably be it until we come back after twenty twenty six. 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.320 So that's my schedule, Dan, Are you taking any time 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:16.720 off from at the end of the year. 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:17.960 Here, not a lot. 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:22.480 I'm going to mirror CNRS schedule Christmas Eve for the 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.760 Dan Patrick Show, and then right after Christmas a couple 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:29.280 of more days in for Dan Patrick. So whatever we 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.559 have off from the afternoon show is because we're working 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:32.760 on the morning shift. 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:37.320 Gotcha, gotcha? All right? Well, i'll let you know next weekend, Reggie. 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.479 I'll make sure because I know Alf has been busting 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.560 my chops. A lot of these guys, Nanny, Alf and Fergdog. 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:48.279 If I'm not working, they sleep, they don't stay up 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:52.440 at nights, very odd. I appreciate their loyalty. They're fine men. Yeah, 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:56.520 tastes like a touchdown in your mouth. I guess so 0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:01.200 Kevin in Kansas, right Sinces, dear men, and Danny. I 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:02.560 have a betting question for you. 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:02.839 Ben. 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.360 If the line is at minus six and a half 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.520 at the time, you do Benny versus the penny. But 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.320 when I watched the line is now minus six, what 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.840 strategy should I be using? Thanks for help. That's from 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:19.520 Kevin in Kansas. It depends Kevin. Yeah, that's not a 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:22.840 huge difference. The big difference is three, three and a 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.640 half seven seven and a half. That's a big deal. 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:27.760 Six and six and a half is not that big 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:31.400 a deal. It really isn't in the big picture. The 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:34.880 key numbers are three and seven, and if you don't 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:36.840 want to if it's three and a half. The hardest 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.120 line over the years has been three and a half. 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.480 You think, who cares about a half point? But when 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.360 it's three and a half, it's usually three, And at 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:46.880 seven and a half, you know it's usually you know, 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:48.600 seven seven and a half's a big one too. 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.400 So what if Pete Carroll is coaching in the game. 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:55.120 I love Pete. I saw Portnoy over there at barstool. 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.840 Wanted Pete Carroll murdered or whatever. I was like, I 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:01.040 wanted to get Peter Rays. I was like, I had 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:04.440 the Raiders. That was great coaching by Pete Cavin Hug. 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:06.480 You know what's underrated. 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:12.560 I saw thousands of sad Broncos fans leave Allegiant Stadium. 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:16.320 They actually won the game, but they lost their bets. 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:20.080 They were all boothooing into the parking lot. It was great, 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:20.960 that's awesome. 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.120 Well, yeah, the Broncos. There was tons of money. It's 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.440 just like free money. The Raiders suck and the Broncos 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.600 are good, and yeah, that's uh. 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.200 I was I loved it. Broncos fans suck it. 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.440 Well, that was Pete doing the old college thing. You know, Danny, 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.600 you know this in college football, you really need to 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.600 cover the spread because the alumni bet on that. And 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.160 if you cover the spread, now you need to win obviously. 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:47.480 But as we like to say on Benny Versus the Penny, 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:50.719 which is still available on YouTube at Benny Vspenny, you 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:53.520 can watch this week's episode on Benny Versus the Penny. 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:55.839 But we pointed out, it's like, hey, good teams win, 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.600 great teams cover the spread. So the Raiders last week 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:00.360 were a great team. They didn't win. But they were 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.720 a great team because they covered the spread and people 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.960 losing their minds at Pete Carroll. Dave in Jersey writes 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:10.360 in and says, hey, Ben and Danny, g did you 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.280 see what happened to Taylor Swift? This fits right in, Ben, 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:17.720 with what you had talked about in a previous fifth Hour. 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:22.560 I actually didn't see this, dev I guess Danny, he 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.360 sent me a story here says Taylor Swift branded a 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:32.760 Nazi in a coordinated online attack. Okay, says pop star 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:37.040 Taylor Swift facing an organized attempt to brand her a Nazi, 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:43.000 she launched her latest album. But the experts tracking the 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:48.839 attack to accounts it was a targeted campaign. So Dave, 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:50.960 I did not see this story. I am not surprised 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:55.319 by this. I have often pointed out that the greatest hustle, 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.880 as I like to call it, is the online world 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:02.560 and things. This I mean, it is truly the matrix 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:05.240 Danny that you can It can make it appear like 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.560 there's thousands of people that think Taylor Swift is a Nazi, 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.920 when it's really just a group in Maldova that have 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:16.440 a bunch of bots that just attack and it's it's 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:20.160 rather scary. The power of that. And you know it's 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:22.880 the Remember when I was in school and I was 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.560 reading actually I was reading a book about infomercials and 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.240 they were talking about and it's really for anything but 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.760 sales in general, and the perception people have when it's 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:36.640 that group mob mentality, when they think everyone's going one direction. 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:40.440 Some people join into that that wouldn't normally join into 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:43.199 that because they're like, everyone's do it. Do it. It's 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.880 kind of like if you open a restaurant, Danny and 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.720 and you want to get people kind of buzzed up. 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:52.560 You have people there looking like they're eating right, maybe 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.040 they're friends and family, but other people will then show up, Oh, 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.959 this place is popular. Or the greatest example of that, 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.360 we talked about that on the fifth out or the 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:04.840 shopping cart in I think it was Oklahoma City. When 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.400 they debuted shopping carts or buggies or whatever they're called. 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:12.199 People then want to use them because it was very masculine. 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:14.959 It was masculine for the men and the women didn't 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:17.320 want to use them either, And so what they did 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.320 is they hired really hot women and really hot men 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.720 to walk seriously, to walk around the store with the 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:25.360 cart and they oh. 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:29.120 Extra, so I buy, yeah extras. Remember it's the old 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.520 joke about the Bass Lake fishing derby. There would be 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.760 that same boat that would keep passing bias and the 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.679 two guys were holding up the supposed fish that they 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:39.520 caught in the lake. 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:41.720 Yeah, oh yeah, I remember that. Yeah. Yeah. You just 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:43.280 still do that every year, right, you and the family. 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.760 Yeah, and it's a bunch of bullshit. They did not 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:47.400 pull those fish out of that lake. 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:52.840 That's great, Thank you, Dave. Next up is Scott from Florida. 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:57.120 He says, hey, Ben and Danny. As a champion for 0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:01.240 radio and also a champion of radio, is there anything 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:04.760 that is broadcast over the radio that makes you instantly 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:08.800 reach to change the channel or turn it off. That 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:13.000 is from Scott in Florida. So Scott, I, as I 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.120 pointed out, I try to do my own thing. I 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:19.200 love radio, I love all broadcasting. It's been my entire 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.480 adult life. I hope to do it the rest of 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:23.840 my time here, and I have a great time with it. 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:28.000 But I try not to listen to a lot of 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:30.920 really any sports. I mean, occasionally all listen to something. 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:34.280 I'm gonna say never, okay, But I really don't. I 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.000 want to do my own thing. And I know even 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:39.160 if I I'm listening and I'd be like, I'm not 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.480 gonna live. I'm not gonna take any from everybody, but 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.720 just by osmosis, you know what I mean, Danny. Sometimes 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:45.440 you hear something and then it just kind of comes 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.959 out of you. So if I don't listen to it, 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:51.360 it's hard for me to copy something that someone else 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.440 is doing if I'm not hearing it. But just in general, Scott, 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:58.640 if I'll hear occasionally like on Local I'm not gonna 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.079 name anybody because I know some of these people, but 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:04.400 Local LA Radio. When I know a team deserves to 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:07.480 be just fricking destroyed and they're just kissing their ass, 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:10.160 that drives me nuts. I can't handle that. I mean, 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.400 I just yeah, because I know they're on the take, 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.600 meaning they you know, they're connected to some I just 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.840 that stuff drives me nuts because that's not how I 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.760 do it, and I'm annoyed by that. But other than that, 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:23.800 I you know, it's fine. Everyone's got their own act. 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:25.840 I don't you know, I might people hate me. I 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:29.640 don't really get whatever. Each each to their own and 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:32.360 that would that would really be the only thing that 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:37.199 kind of gets under my my skin when you're clearly sugarcoating, 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.280 and a lot of that's just like postgame stuff on 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:43.439 postgame shows where they're you know, they're not necessarily employed 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.440 by the team, but they have to cover. 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:48.720 For the team mandated content. 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:54.840 Exactly exactly. Next up, boy, this person did not send 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.440 their name, will call them douchebag. I no, I don't 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.319 just even put his name, just put his email. I'm 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:04.000 not going to give that out. It's an AOL account, 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:07.360 so it's probably an old person. I'm kidding. No, I'm not. 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:12.520 Ben Benny and Daddy g Hey, Ben, do you think 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.440 President Trump needs to take a class from Tom Looney 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.840 on how to handle the penny? Then he sent me 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:22.840 a clip here from the Army Navy game as President 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:27.520 Trump stunning. The headline on this is stunning inability to 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:35.200 flip a coin worst in history. And there's even there's 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:40.080 a link. Your boy, Klay Travis Trump did the impossible. 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:42.080 He flipped the coin without it flipping. 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:48.640 The penny was made in China, China. 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.000 You know I didn't see this. Whoever, I don't know 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.520 your name. You didn't sign your name, but I did 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:58.840 watch the second half of the Army Navy game on sibbios. 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.640 I did not the coin flip. My friend, the Great 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:05.880 Sports with Coleman Baltimore Media Mogul was there and he 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.480 got their way before the President to try to avoid 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.800 the security. He was sending me photos from the Army 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:15.440 Navy game. I did not see the coin toss in 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:19.320 real time. That is that is great. I don't know 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.000 what do you want to say? It's I think flipping 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:25.280 a coin would not be that difficult, But I don't know. 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:27.080 I mean, just got a lot going on. The president. Man, 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:28.160 come on, he's seventy nine. 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:28.520 What do you want? 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.280 What do you want him to do? But yeah, I 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:32.520 don't know what else I can add to that. It 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.080 was pretty I saw the clip. It was not the 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:36.720 greatest coin flip I've ever seen. 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:36.960 It. 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:40.360 Not great. So anyway, that's your buddy. 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:46.600 It was a historic coin flip, very very very memorable. 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:52.320 Exactly, Steve writes in from Parts Unknown. Another one didn't 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:57.800 sign their city. Steve says, hey, Ben and Danny, you guys, 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.440 you guys anywhere near this? And then he's sent me 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:06.480 a link to Death Valley National Park big headline here 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.240 Steve found this story. This says an ancient lake that 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:13.240 disappeared from a California National park more than one hundred 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:18.080 thousand years ago has dramatically returned because of record breaking rainfall. 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:22.200 A massive ice lake roughly one hundred miles long six 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:26.440 hundred feet deep, dried up between one hundred and twenty 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.400 eight thousand and one hundred and eighty six thousand years ago. 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.520 That says, here's the climate warmed, and it's in the 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:38.560 present day national or Death Valley National Park, and. 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.120 It's the exact opposite of what's going on with the 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:44.640 Colorado River. I just saw an article yesterday where a 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:49.240 guy walked across the Colorado River because it's so shallow 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:50.720 right now in parts of it. 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:55.560 That's not ideal. That's not ideal. The National Park Service 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:59.520 revealing the area had its wettest fall season on record 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:02.960 and the rare return of the body of water. So 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.720 I did not see this, Steve. I have driven through 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.640 Death Valley many times on my way to Lost Wadges, Nevada. 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:13.720 I have not stopped in Death Valley. But this is 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:16.640 always the argument, right, Danny. The argument is people get 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:18.359 all freaked out that one of the great hustles of 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:21.240 our time is the climate change hustle, because we only 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:25.520 have a very limited amount of data on weather as 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:27.600 far as we can trace it as humans, you know, 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:31.000 keeping trager stuff. So the planet's obviously been around for 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:34.440 a lot longer than us, and so who knows the 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.479 cycles of the planet and all that stuff. So there 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:41.040 have been books written about how what a great scam 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.960 that a lot of that stuff is. So, but thank 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:47.600 you Steve for that that story Andy from this is 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.520 the mail bag here. By the way, Andy from South 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:52.280 Carolina rights and I wonder if I met Andy at 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:54.320 the mal Or meet and greet we did there in Charleston. 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:55.359 I don't know. 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:58.679 He doesn't say, and I don't remember. I don't remember him. Anyway, 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:02.240 it says I've been and Dani, uh you guys okay 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:04.119 with this? And then he sent me, uh, send me 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:10.639 a story here, Danny of cats now taking ozempik, a 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:17.720 solution to terminal feline illnesses. They're giving now cats ozempa. 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:21.240 Wow, I might want to look into this because our cat, 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:24.080 we have a cat and a dog, my cat Mac. 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:28.520 He has a heart murmur. Oh got, he's got a 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:30.000 little bit of heart disease. Going on. 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:33.760 So when he sleeps, you should hear her. It sounds 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:34.880 like he has sleep apnea. 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.200 Sounds like hollering James, Yes. 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:41.879 Pretty much. So he needs to lose weight. I might 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:43.120 want to look into this, all. 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:44.760 Right, I'll send you. I'll send you the story here. 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:47.480 I wonder, can you imagine how much that costs? 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.320 Oh boy, yeah, that was gonna say, will my insurance 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:50.720 cover it? 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:53.320 Uh yeah, sure, Well just you get there for me. 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:54.480 I swear it's for me. 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:56.960 You get the ozempic and then just try to figure 0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:59.359 out just don't give the you know, the too much 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:02.560 that says a med's company and then named it. This 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:06.120 pharmaceutic company announced that first clinical child, dubbed me ow 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:11.600 one for Feline blah blah blah, was a success. So 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:13.840 there you go, send out a press release. I sent 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:18.440 you the story there, so who knows. Now, I got Moxie. 0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:21.680 Moxie's a big fat English bulldog and uh yeah, we 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.320 don't want to give epic. Moxi's okay, just sleeps twenty 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.560 hours a day, so I don't think Moxie moves around 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:30.199 enough to get into that. But thank you Andy. If 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:32.840 people have the money, I'm sure it's not cheap. Knock 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:33.480 yourself out. 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:37.880 My vet told me that she could recommend a heart specialist. 0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:40.480 Oh goody, I. 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:44.520 Said, yeah, let me get right on top of that. Wow. 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:50.960 Uh, let's see you. Tony from the Bay Area says, hey, Danny, 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:55.439 are you ready to move the family borough? And then 0:19:55.480 --> 0:20:00.400 he sent a story here a town in it Italy. 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:09.080 Danny is offering thirty thousand dollars to move Italian town 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:13.480 with wine cheese. They've got a bunch of vacant villas 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:16.720 and they offer people that move into the there thirty 0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:21.520 thousand dollars to move in this town in Italy.

Of course, 0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:30.720 I'm sure the taxes will each year. You know what 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:33.679 where is this? Let's see here Tuscany. How about that? 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:37.879 The Hills of Tuscany, small medieval town and the Hills 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:42.840 of Tuscany giving out financial incentives. I'm not even going 0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:45.800 to try to pronounce this. I don't speak the native 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:52.800 tongue there, and I will butcher it. Village offering twenty 0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:55.600 three four hundred dollars to anyone who's willing to buy 0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:57.679 and live in one of their vacant houses, plus an 0:20:57.680 --> 0:21:03.160 extra seven thousand dollars towards expenses like heating and transportation. 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:08.080 It's look at about an hour south of Florence, and 0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:11.840 they've expanded this and the plan. The plan is to 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:14.919 help cover half of the first two years of rent 0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:17.720 for new renters who move in by early twenty twenty six. 0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:22.360 There you go town Nice found, once home to three 0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:28.000 thousand residents, today's population less than a thousand. Wow. They 0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:29.639 say they have about one hundred to four hundred and 0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:33.400 fifty homes that are are vacant. 0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:36.480 So I would do it. Man. 0:21:36.520 --> 0:21:39.639 After radio, I would definitely go to the homeland my 0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:44.960 dad's side of the family. They're from Altavilla Milisea in Sicily. 0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:48.240 In fact, I have cousins that own a wine bar 0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:51.879
