We do 15 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: have the mailbag. We'll get to that in a couple 16 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: of minutes. It is National Camera Day today, which means 17 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: I fell down the proverbial rabbit hole with amazing factoids, shocking, 18 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: mind blowing factoids about the camera. I am such a 19 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: radio loser. For example, is it true that the ancient 20 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: optics were invented the basis for the camera four hundred BC? 21 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: That the Chinese? The Chinese provided the earliest known written record, 22 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: written record of their exploration of the camera or pinhole 23 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: imagery now wasn't until the eighteen hundreds, eighteen twenty five, 24 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: so exactly you do the math on this, it's twenty 25 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: twenty five, so that would be two hundred years ago 26 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: the first image was printed. A French scientist invented the heliograph, 27 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: a print that requid required eight hours of light exposure 28 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: eight hours of light exposure to create and soon faded away. 29 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: And then within fifteen years, less than fifteen years after that, 30 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: eighteen thirty nine, the forerunner of filming was born as 31 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: a gentleman in France was the first person to commercially 32 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: successfully photograph, use that process of photography to create a 33 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: permanent image on a metal plate. So that was in 34 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: eighteen thirty nine, and then you advance a couple of 35 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: years later, another gentleman patented the calotype process, the first 36 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: negative positive process at the time, which made it possible 37 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 1: to reproduce multiple copies of pictures. And over time you 38 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: think about the evolution of the camera and where we 39 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: have gotten where everyone has their own camera. But it 40 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: was in the eighteen eighties George Eastman invented the first 41 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: flexible photographic film and that follow up with another first 42 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: in eighteen eighty eight when he patented the Kodak role 43 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: film camera, and Kodak became one of the biggest companies 44 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: in America. When I was a kid, Kodak was dominating. 45 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: And if you're under the age of like forty, you 46 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: probably no idea like Kodak. What the hell's Koda? I mean, 47 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: you've heard the Kodak moment, but like, what is it? 48 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: The first mass marketed camera went on sale in nineteen hundred, 49 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: and then there was every couple of years there was 50 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: a big, a big thing. The Wright brothers invented the 51 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: airplane and then that created aerial photography, making it available 52 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: to the military. Sorry, I was in nineteen oh three. 53 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: You can advance it. Nineteen thirty five that Guy Eastman 54 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: introduced the Coda Chrome the first and they claimed the 55 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: best color transparency film nineteen thirty five. And then you know, 56 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: every couple of years there was a big announcement, and 57 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: it was up until the nineteen seventies when digital seventies 58 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,799 Speaker 1: of the nineties, digital started taking over in the eighties 59 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: and the nineties. The first camera phone was in two thousand, 60 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: built into a camera, though very few people had it 61 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: and Kodak, which had dominated and again one of the 62 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: biggest companies in America, they stopped making film cameras over 63 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: twenty years ago. Twenty four was when they said ixnay 64 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: on the film may were good. And I guess they're 65 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: still around, but barely around, right, barely barely around. So 66 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: that is it. In a nutshell, it is National Camera Day, 67 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: so more than eight hundred years, all the way back 68 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: eight hundred years. Uh. And dark chamber And even when 69 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: I was in junior high school, you old had we 70 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: had a class that it was an elective you could 71 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: sign up for, and it was processing film, going into 72 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: a dark room, putting the film under the end in 73 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: the water and taking it and creating the image. Uh. 74 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: And you don't have to obviously don't have to do 75 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: that anymore. But in a split second you have what 76 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: used to be movie quality film on your on your phone. 77 00:05:54,680 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it is wacky, wacky, wacky. In wheeling away 78 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: from that, before we get to the mail bag, we 79 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: have the two for one weekly special at the Malor 80 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: Mad House.

Now, this is a name that we 144 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: get quite often. He's a big fan of the show, 145 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 1: although he's never called the show not this show. Or 146 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: the radio show Reggie from Detroit. Reggie says Ben and Danny. 147 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: He says, I hope your weekend is going well. I 148 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: really enjoyed hearing from Dick in Dayton. He sounds in 149 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: a he sounds like he's in a bad mood. Reggie says, 150 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: he's not that happy with his living situation. Hopefully you'll 151 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: be able to get to Ohio and cheer him up. 152 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: As for my question, Reggie says, I know you guys 153 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: are not soccer fans, However, do you have any hot 154 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: takes on Ronaldo and his deal in Saudi Arabia?

So, first of all, 157 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: let's start with Dick and Dayton. And he's one of 158 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: my favorite people. You know that if you listen to 159 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: the Overnight show. I am a huge fan of Dick 160 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 1: from Dayton. He has provided so many great drops. Then 161 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: I'm relatively confident he does not even realize how funny 162 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: he is. Dick from Dayton and he's just a treasure. 163 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: He's been calling me for god at least twenty years. 164 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: We've had a radio relationship. Caller host and he called 165 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: me when I was working on Thanksgiving probably twenty years ago, 166 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: and a sweet, fun guy. He was going to get 167 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dinner by himself in Dayton, Ohio, and he was 168 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: bragging he paid five dollars for Thanksgiving dinner. And he's 169 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: called me ever since. He calls me once or twice 170 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: a week, and I would love to get there. I'm 171 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: efforting to get there, Reggie. That is the plan. Some 172 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: of you reached out, I need a venue for the 173 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: meet and greet. Based on the feedback that we're getting, 174 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: a lot of you are like, hey, he should come 175 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: to southern southern Ohio. I don't know, like Cincinnati, Dixon 176 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: in Dayton obviously, and he can't really leave there, so 177 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,719 Speaker 1: I might just have to go to Dayton. I might 178 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: just say, effitt and I'll just go to Dayton. And 179 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: if I have to pick Dick in Dayton up in 180 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: an uber or something, well we'll make it happen. But 181 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: as far as the other part of that, I did 182 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: see the Ronaldo contract. I read the Sun, which is 183 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: a tabloid in London. I don't read it. I scan 184 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: it and this thing up. So Ronaldo and you can 185 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, Reggie. As I understand it, 186 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: Ronaldo is going to earn two hundred and forty three 187 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 1: million dollars per year on his new deal. You talk 188 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: about getting some of that Saudi oil money. He will 189 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: be paid four point seven million dollars per week. But wait, 190 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: there's more. He also gets an ownership stake in the team, 191 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: and he's got performance bonuses in there as well. He'll 192 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: get was it ten grand per goal? That's that's ten 193 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: extra thousand. That's like a startup fee for a tech company. 194 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: Ten thousand dollars he'll get oh no, wait, one hundred. 195 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: I say one, one hundred and ten grand. I said ten, No, 196 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 1: one hundred and ten grand, My god, ten grand. He 197 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: wouldn't even get out of bed. One hundred and ten 198 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: per goal, Now that is more like a tech startup. 199 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: He'll get fifty five thousand per assist. So whether he 200 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: passes for a goal or scores a goal. Man. Now, 201 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: my friend Nico, who's got his son who's a soccer prodigy. 202 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: Now Nico, please remember me, Nico when your son ends 203 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: up getting that Ronaldo money from Saudi Arabia. Holy crap. 204 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: But wait, there's more. So, Reggie, the story says that 205 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: essentially Ronaldo has been given not only the two hundred 206 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: forty three million dollars, but he's been given an entourage 207 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: like he's the president, which includes chef's gardeners, private security 208 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: around the clock. And does he get a new pair 209 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: of underwear every day like Floyd Mayweather. My got two 210 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: hundred and forty three million, and he gets a thirty 211 00:14:55,760 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: three percent ownership stake in the club. He'll he'll get 212 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: up to twenty five million dollars in team incentives and 213 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: as we mentioned, sixteen full time staff members for Ronaldo. Man, 214 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: they have so much money because of you and I 215 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: buying gas in Saudi Arabia. My god, that can you imagine. 216 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: I was like, ah, yeah, we'll pay. We're gonna pay Ronaldo. 217 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: We'll give them two hundred and forty three million dollars. Wow, 218 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: that is next level. Is obviously obviously what it is. 219 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: And if they start I remember we talked about this 220 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: when there was some Middle East money that went into golf, 221 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: and if they wanted to there's so much money, you 222 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: know a couple of these countries, you know, the Saudi 223 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: Wellness Fund, We talked about that. How much money they 224 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: have they could destroy if they wanted to the NFL, 225 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: the NBA, and Major League Baseball. If they woke up 226 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: and got to bug up their ass and said, we 227 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: just want to take down the NFL, they would be 228 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: able to do that within a year. They have so 229 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: much money that they would just cherry pick Patrick Mahomes 230 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: and they'd get Josh Allen and the top coaches, Sean 231 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: McVay and all these other guys whoever they wanted, because 232 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: you could pay them all one hundred million or two 233 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: hundred million per year and they would still not It 234 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't even make a dent in how much money they have, 235 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: all right. Next up on the mailbag, we have Hwang, 236 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: who writes us from Vietnam. He says, Big Man and 237 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: Daddy g Radio. A woodpecker's tongue loops around its head, 238 00:16:55,040 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: helping to protect its brain from the force of repeated pecking. Says, 239 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: are the rumors true that are you smarter than a 240 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: tech queen? The bit was canceled due to the lack 241 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: this lack of protection. Wow, well, Quang, the bit is 242 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: on hiatus right now. It has not officially officially been canceled. 243 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: It just was not up to the standard, Like I know, 244 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of standards on the show. 245 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: It just wasn't good. The people that were calling to 246 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: play were not good. Lorena, I love her, but she 247 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: didn't take it seriously and it just wasn't good radio. 248 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: And so why would we do it? Why would we 249 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 1: continue to do it if the quality was just not there? 250 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: It makes no sense now, Tommy. Since he Tommy writes, 251 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: and he says, greeting's Big Ben, Benny the Brazen and 252 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: Danny g Money, he says, quote, I agree with you, 253 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: smarter than the FSR Tech Queen game was not going well. However, 254 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: since he Tommy writes it in I think it should 255 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: be retooled instead of shell. If I may touch up 256 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: your work. Just to Tad sir, here we go, Tommy says, 257 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: consider changing the rules. Alternate picking the category. Lorena and 258 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: the challenger must say their first name and answer the 259 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: question alone like the other games. Says, allowing contestants and 260 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: Lorena to piggyback their answers doesn't work and makes the 261 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: game easier and longer. Please consider don't let my legacy end. Benny. 262 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 1: Much love and a little skyline to you both. Well, 263 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: there you go Daniel skyline chilly. So this is where 264 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: you play the fart sound effects right here? Yep, that's 265 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: about right, all right? So that was Tommy. Listen, Tommy, 266 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: I'm not as I told Kwang, and I'll repeat it 267 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 1: if you weren't paying attention two seconds ago. At this point, 268 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 1: the game is on pause. Will I consider bringing the 269 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: game back at some point? Sure, I'll consider bringing the 270 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: game back. I want to say we can come up 271 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 1: with something else. I want to try some other things 272 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: and see I've had some bits floating around in my 273 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: head that we haven't done, So we'll see where that goes. 274 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: Ferg Dog in Fullerton that Winter Wonderland writes, and he says, 275 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 1: simpify Ben and Danny g. In response to Alf's question 276 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 1: from last week, I don't think there's anything wrong with 277 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: listening to a throwaway podcast on two times the speed, 278 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: like The Herd or the Puck Podcast. But if you're 279 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: listening to a good podcast like The Fifth Hour or 280 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: The Animal Thunderdome, you shouldn't alter it in any way. 281 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: You wouldn't listen to a classic song at two times 282 00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: the speed, would you? Question Mark? He says, what's your 283 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: guy's least favorite ride at Disneyland. For me, it is 284 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: the Haunted Mansion. I went on it once and I 285 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: had nightmares for weeks. Never again, never again. So for 286 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: a dog my least favorite ride at Disneyland, let's see, 287 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: I guess I would go Space Mountain. I think I'm 288 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 1: too tall. I'm too big a guy now. I used 289 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: to go on it when I was a kid, and 290 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: I've heard stories that people if you're a little too 291 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 1: tall there, like there have been people that have been 292 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,439 Speaker 1: hurt on it, and I don't think that'll happen anymore. 293 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: There's enough people that ride it that doesn't really do 294 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 1: much for me, And I'm trying to think, like I 295 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 1: usually just avoid the rides I don't like. I don't 296 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: bother to go on them. So if they don't look 297 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: interesting to me, unless I'm being forced to go on 298 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: them because I'm with my niece or nephew or something 299 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: like that, I'm like, eh, I'm good. I'm not I'm 300 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: not going to be partaking if it doesn't look good, 301 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: because the most important thing we have is our time. 302 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, I go Space Mountain. I'm trying to think 303 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: what other rides are like, pretty lame? I guess the 304 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: the submarine ride. I think they still have that. I 305 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: think they changed the name of it though I used 306 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 1: to like Splash Mountain. They change that. But you get soaked, 307 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: so I'm not not going on that. My wife hates it. 308 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: She's can't ah, you get so wet. It's discussing anyway. 309 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: Paul from Oregon rights and says, Ben and Danny, you 310 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: guys calling your travel agent about the big travel news 311 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: this week. And Paul says that North Korea Kim Jong 312 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: un has opened a new beach resort. Okay, I don't 313 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: think we're allowed. Uh yeah, that'd be a tough one. 314 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: Although I have been sent by some of you idiots 315 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: travel blogs on YouTube of people that have gone to 316 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 1: North Korea, Like they're a lot if you're like British. 317 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 1: I mean they allow some people to go. And I'm 318 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: guessing they don't show you the whole picture. They only 319 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 1: show you a part of the picture, if you know 320 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: what I mean. Yeah, that's I'm good on that. I 321 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: saw some of the photos. Look looks fine. I don't 322 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: think the food's that good. Frankie from Philadelphia Adjacent Frankie 323 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 1: says he says, hey, bandon Danny. You guys proud of 324 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,719 Speaker 1: your baby talk. I think this is more for Danny 325 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: than for me. But Danny is not here. And Frankie says, 326 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: this story he found this week is that baby talk 327 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: is believed to be the reason humans are the only 328 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: speaking species on Earth baby talk. And he sent me 329 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: a story here. According to the story, and I don't 330 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 1: know where Frankie got this from. He says, human infants 331 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: receive up to four hundred up to a weasel term, 332 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: up to four hundred times more direct vocal communication then 333 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: baby bontabos, and nearly seventy times more than baby chimpanzees. 334 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: The suggestion is that talkative parenting is unique among the 335 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 1: great apes. So the human beings talking and they say 336 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: that well, background chatter around the children infants similar across humans, 337 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 1: chimps and all the other ape species. It is only 338 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: only the human caregiver that is focused on speech directly 339 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: at the baby, and so that helps encourage learning. But 340 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: here's the thing. Obviously, Frankie is like, yeah, we do that, 341 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 1: but are you You're born doing that right, because some 342 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: human beings didn't start out with me. Somewhere along the 343 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: way the first humans, I do the math on that 344 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: they didn't you know, where did they come from? Etc? 345 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: Evolution all that. Those are some deep conversations, but the 346 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: early kids were their parents talking right away like how 347 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: did that work? I don't know, but thank you, Frankie, 348 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: and I'm sure Danny he'll address that at a later date. 349 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: For baby Ka. Joe from New York, New York, right Sin, 350 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: He says, Ben, since you have talked about your spitting 351 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,479 Speaker 1: loogie fascination on the show, I thought you'd appreciate this story. 352 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,880 Speaker 1: Have a great day, enjoy the radio show and the podcast. 353 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: You better not stop doing either. That is from Joe 354 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 1: in New York. And Joe sent a story about what 355 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: to do with flem and he wrote this like Shakespeare, 356 00:24:54,520 --> 00:25:00,719 Speaker 1: he wrote, to spit or to swallow flem. So I 357 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: read the story, Joe, and it's pretty funny because the 358 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: story concluded going it's a very worthy story, and it 359 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: concluded you're fine doing either either you spit that big 360 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: wad of mucissi flem out or you swallow it back 361 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: into your stomach. The story says spitting can help some 362 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: people feel better, especially if their cough is associated with 363 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: thick flem. That's causing distress. But for most healthy people 364 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: there is no need to force a cough or spit 365 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: out flem. Swallowing flem is completely safe. Okay. Now, one 366 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 1: thing about this story, Joe, My favorite part is that 367 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: if you go back to the eighteen twenties, so a 368 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 1: couple hundred years ago, there was a French physician who 369 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,199 Speaker 1: invented the guy that invented the stepiscope, and in his 370 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: office he had a spitting pot, he said, a spinning 371 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: pot he considered an essential part of the bedroom apparatus. 372 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 1: So not only his office, but like in the bedroom, 373 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: near the bed, you had to have a thing just 374 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: to spit flem into. How do you like that? Put 375 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: that in your pipe and smoke it. Carl from Vegas 376 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 1: rights and Carl says, Hey, Ben and Danny, I enjoy 377 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: the mail bag.

That's real fifth hour at gmail dot com. 382 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: All all letters, no numbers, Carl says, is this guy 383 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 1: the cowboy John brad of magic? So he sent me 384 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 1: a story here. A magician was on the Today Show 385 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 1: this week and has memori every zip code in America, 386 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: every single zip code in America. This guy has has 387 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: gotten his head. So Carl a couple things. Number one, number, 388 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: one number. It's obvious this guy has some kind of 389 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: photographic memory, right, certain people have that. I don't have that. 390 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: I'm assuming you don't have that, right, otherwise you wouldn't 391 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: have sent this in, Carl, So we don't have that. 392 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: Number two. Yeah. The beauty of Cowboy John Brad is 393 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: he does not own a computer, he does not have 394 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: a smartphone, he does not have any of that stuff. 395 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 1: But yet he remembers everything, like every day of his 396 00:27:55,520 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: life he remembers. And he started to call the show again. 397 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 1: And so I don't know particularly, I didn't see the 398 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: segment with the guy that knows every zip code in America. 399 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: I didn't see it. However, it doesn't really like shock 400 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 1: me because if you have that ability, I get it. 401 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: I totally get it. Tony in the Bay Area rights in. 402 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: He says, did Jinks May's ask for my five five 403 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: five number? Not yet, Tony, We'll let you know, And 404 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: he says, Danny g I'm guessing you have judged many 405 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: verbal octagons. He says, I was wrongly disqualified recently, and 406 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: I want your decision if I won by the vowel 407 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: being thrown in after me saying a cross between William 408 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: Shatner and David Vassey is what my dick looks like. Wow. Well, unfortunately, 409 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,719 Speaker 1: Tony Danny's not here to answer your questions. I'm sure 410 00:28:55,720 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: he's laughing right now as he listens to it. Ryan 411 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: from Shrewsbury, mass writes and he says, big Ben and 412 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: Danny g Since it seems like you're a tacco expert, Ben, 413 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: can you please settle the great debate between me and 414 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: my wife? Absolutely, we will do that, Ryan, He says, 415 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: I like hardshell tacos and she is more of a 416 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: soft shell taco fan. Oh which is better in your 417 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: professional opinion? Well, Ryan, first of all, these are the 418 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: kind of questions that are perfect, absolutely perfect for the 419 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: male back. So thank you for that. We appreciate that. Now, 420 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: with all due respects, I'm sure your wife doesn't listen 421 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: to this podcast. She could not be more wrong with 422 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: her love of soft shell tacos. That is a bad answer. 423 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: That is a party foul. There is only one excit answer. 424 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: There is no great taco debate the taco and I 425 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: know because you're living in southern California. It's essentially northern 426 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: Mexico right where we live here in southern California. There's 427 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: a great Mexican food. It's it's wonderful. Oh, there's no question. 428 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: Love it, love it, love it, love it, love it, 429 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: love it, love it. The acceptable answer tacos Dorado's tacos dorados. 430 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: That's the answer. And there are some tacos snobs out 431 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: there and these a holes. It's like the people that 432 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: get upset that that are low low IQ people, the 433 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: dumb of the dumb. I can't believe you like your 434 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: steak butterfly cut, well done. Heah, yikes. Yes, it's my steak, 435 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: you schmuck. I'm gonna eat it the way I want it. 436 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: You lose it, and. 437 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 3: I'm not going to complain because there's blood dripping off 438 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 3: your pink climey discussing steak. 439 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: I don't care how you meet your steak. But it's 440 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: the same brain, Rod, It's the same brain, Rod, Ryan. 441 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: And it's unfortunate to hear your wife has it the 442 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: soft taco Illuminati. That's what I call. They're like an illuminati. Okay, 443 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: they are assholes, I said it. Ah, give me tacos dorado, 444 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: the gringo taco, which, oh, by the way, if you know, 445 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: the history of Mexico is as authentic as it gets. Now, 446 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: it's not everywhere in Mexico, but if you look at 447 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 1: the northern parts of Mexico, like Sonora, Mexico, Chihuahua. I 448 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: mean there's some other towns too. I don't I can't 449 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,959 Speaker 1: forge of the name of them, but there's there's several 450 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: northern outposts, several northern outposts in Mexico where the local 451 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: taco is tacos dorado. So don't do not back down. Ryan. 452 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: The soft taco is more like a burrito. It's not 453 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: a taco. The proper taco is crunch it's fried. It's wonderful, 454 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: and don't forget when you're having Mexican food. Ryan, the 455 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: crunchy gringo taco, the cousin of the gringo taco, also wonderful. 456 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 1: The taketofact last night for dinner, homemade crunchy tacos, gringo tacos, 457 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: the tacos dorado and taketos from scratch. We made them 458 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: from a scratch, and we've mastered that menu item. We've 459 00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: mastered that menu item. It's just absolutely great. Alf writes 460 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: in the Alien Opiner from Columbia Pictures. He says, I 461 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: figured there's no better way to put a ball on 462 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: three Stooges a week on the Ben Mathers Show than 463 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: to give you a bunch of fun facts about our 464 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: favorite trio. So hit the music, all right, So Alf 465 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: sent me, we won't do all of these Alves. I mean, 466 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: let me pick and choose some of these the Three Stooges. 467 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,959 Speaker 1: The Three Stooges lineup was not always the same. There 468 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: were six different Stooges from nineteen twenty two to nineteen seventy. Wow, 469 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: you talk about a run. Holy, that's forty eight years 470 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: of I mean a little bit younger than I am 471 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 1: right now. That is wild Curly's hair. His shaved head 472 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 1: was not natural. He cut his hair short because he 473 00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: thought it looked funnier. What else? The physical comedy was real. 474 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: The actors often were injured while filming on set. Larry 475 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 1: Fine broke a finger during a stunt. There you go. 476 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: The Stooges were among the first American comedians to satirize 477 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: Hitler and make fun of the Nazis, so they did 478 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:24,720 Speaker 1: that in their first film, Women Haters, was a musical 479 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: comedy with rhyming dialogue and jokes. I was in nineteen 480 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: nineteen thirty four. The ipoke inventor Shemp Howard credited with 481 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: inventing the three Stooges ipoke, which is when you think Stooges, 482 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 1: that's one of the first things you think of. Curly's 483 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: signature sounds U U and woo woo woo woo woo 484 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,479 Speaker 1: first appeared in Women Haters, though the woo woo woo 485 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:55,280 Speaker 1: woo woo was borrowed from another comedian. And the most 486 00:34:55,440 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: amazing fun fact of them all is that they were unaway. 487 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: They were unaware that they were popular.
