He's the last remnants 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:12.440 of the old Republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:15.440 treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:17.440 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. 0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:18.320 Wow. 0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:22.240 The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special. 0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:29.400 The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in. 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:34.840 The air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben Mahler 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:38.479 and Danny g Radio A Happy Sunday to you, the 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:43.920 last Fifth Hour podcast for the month of June. Yeah, 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:47.880 we're almost into July, and that means NFL training camp 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:49.559 will open up in a couple of days. We do 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.440 have the mailbag. We'll get to that in a couple 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:56.880 of minutes. It is National Camera Day today, which means 0:00:57.080 --> 0:01:03.600 I fell down the proverbial rabbit hole with amazing factoids, shocking, 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:08.400 mind blowing factoids about the camera. I am such a 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:15.880 radio loser. For example, is it true that the ancient 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:23.480 optics were invented the basis for the camera four hundred BC? 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:31.200 That the Chinese? The Chinese provided the earliest known written record, 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:37.880 written record of their exploration of the camera or pinhole 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:45.240 imagery now wasn't until the eighteen hundreds, eighteen twenty five, 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:49.480 so exactly you do the math on this, it's twenty 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:51.840 twenty five, so that would be two hundred years ago 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:58.400 the first image was printed. A French scientist invented the heliograph, 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:02.880 a print that requid required eight hours of light exposure 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:08.200 eight hours of light exposure to create and soon faded away. 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:12.760 And then within fifteen years, less than fifteen years after that, 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:19.000 eighteen thirty nine, the forerunner of filming was born as 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:25.519 a gentleman in France was the first person to commercially 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:31.680 successfully photograph, use that process of photography to create a 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:35.919 permanent image on a metal plate. So that was in 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:39.440 eighteen thirty nine, and then you advance a couple of 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:45.680 years later, another gentleman patented the calotype process, the first 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:51.840 negative positive process at the time, which made it possible 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:57.360 to reproduce multiple copies of pictures. And over time you 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:01.960 think about the evolution of the camera and where we 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.800 have gotten where everyone has their own camera. But it 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:09.799 was in the eighteen eighties George Eastman invented the first 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:16.519 flexible photographic film and that follow up with another first 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:22.400 in eighteen eighty eight when he patented the Kodak role 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:27.320 film camera, and Kodak became one of the biggest companies 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:31.280 in America. When I was a kid, Kodak was dominating. 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.640 And if you're under the age of like forty, you 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:37.920 probably no idea like Kodak. What the hell's Koda? I mean, 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.240 you've heard the Kodak moment, but like, what is it? 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:46.360 The first mass marketed camera went on sale in nineteen hundred, 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:49.120 and then there was every couple of years there was 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:52.480 a big, a big thing. The Wright brothers invented the 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:59.240 airplane and then that created aerial photography, making it available 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.560 to the military. Sorry, I was in nineteen oh three. 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:07.280 You can advance it. Nineteen thirty five that Guy Eastman 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:12.920 introduced the Coda Chrome the first and they claimed the 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:20.160 best color transparency film nineteen thirty five. And then you know, 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.680 every couple of years there was a big announcement, and 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:28.719 it was up until the nineteen seventies when digital seventies 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.799 of the nineties, digital started taking over in the eighties 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:35.920 and the nineties. The first camera phone was in two thousand, 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.880 built into a camera, though very few people had it 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:44.960 and Kodak, which had dominated and again one of the 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:50.440 biggest companies in America, they stopped making film cameras over 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:55.920 twenty years ago. Twenty four was when they said ixnay 0:04:56.240 --> 0:05:00.599 on the film may were good. And I guess they're 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:06.640 still around, but barely around, right, barely barely around. So 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:10.960 that is it. In a nutshell, it is National Camera Day, 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:16.320 so more than eight hundred years, all the way back 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:21.560 eight hundred years. Uh. And dark chamber And even when 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:27.200 I was in junior high school, you old had we 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:31.480 had a class that it was an elective you could 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:35.120 sign up for, and it was processing film, going into 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.040 a dark room, putting the film under the end in 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:43.440 the water and taking it and creating the image. Uh. 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:45.800 And you don't have to obviously don't have to do 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:49.479 that anymore. But in a split second you have what 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:54.480 used to be movie quality film on your on your phone. 0:05:54.680 --> 0:06:01.520 I mean, it is wacky, wacky, wacky. In wheeling away 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.560 from that, before we get to the mail bag, we 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:08.960 have the two for one weekly special at the Malor 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:13.159 Mad House. That's right, a two for one weekly special 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:18.160 at the Malor Mad House. And you get first DIBs 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:21.480 on this because you are a legit p one listening 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:25.360 to the fifth hour podcast on a Sunday or whenever 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.120 you end up listening to this, and you will have 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:32.839 an advantage. Those other mere peons will not have. The 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:36.960 people that only listen to the overnight show, we will not 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.560 know this.

I will 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:56.440 be off the radio Monday and Tuesday, so you will 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.479 not hear my voice Monday and Tuesday. Have something I 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.000 have to take care on that night, so I cannot 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:06.160 attend the radio show. But then I will be back 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:08.880 to normal the rest of the week. So four nights 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.920 of overnight talk radio.

I'll be forced to talk 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:20.200 about the Lakers, but I'd much rather talk about the Clippers. 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:24.080 The Rams you can ram it all day, you can 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:29.040 ram it all night, and the Chargers as well.

I will be on tonight Monday into Tuesday. 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:42.920 No radio show for me, but then to make up 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.680 for that, I will do six extra hours of talk 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:51.800 radio spread out over two days.

Come on, ohio Al. 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:40.520 Hit that button right there, Danny G it's all right, 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:42.839 all right, Thank you very much, ohio Al. These are 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:46.760 actual letters by actual listeners to the Overnight Show during 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:51.360 the week and this fifth hour podcast. You have made time. 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:55.440 You've taken time out of your schedule to write an email. 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:59.040 I know it doesn't take that long, but you've taken 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.120 a little bit of time to contact me. We do 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:04.240 thank you for doing that. And yet again we have 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:06.640 some new names here that have not popped up in 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.839 the past, which means the podcast is growing, that it's 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:13.640 in safe hands. And so I know we both appreciate 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:17.400 Danny's not here on the mic this weekend, but we 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.640 both we do appreciate the fact that you are taking 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:25.840 time out and adding content, burning up the audio dance floor, 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:28.200 if you will. Now, this is a name that we 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.720 get quite often. He's a big fan of the show, 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:33.680 although he's never called the show not this show. Or 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:38.360 the radio show Reggie from Detroit. Reggie says Ben and Danny. 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.120 He says, I hope your weekend is going well. I 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:47.240 really enjoyed hearing from Dick in Dayton. He sounds in 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.720 a he sounds like he's in a bad mood. Reggie says, 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.760 he's not that happy with his living situation. Hopefully you'll 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:54.760 be able to get to Ohio and cheer him up. 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.960 As for my question, Reggie says, I know you guys 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.680 are not soccer fans, However, do you have any hot 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:09.760 takes on Ronaldo and his deal in Saudi Arabia? All right, 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.920 so obviously Danny cannot answer this because he's out here, 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.920 but I will answer this Reggie. So, first of all, 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:19.920 let's start with Dick and Dayton. And he's one of 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.480 my favorite people. You know that if you listen to 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:26.720 the Overnight show. I am a huge fan of Dick 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:30.199 from Dayton. He has provided so many great drops. Then 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:34.200 I'm relatively confident he does not even realize how funny 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.960 he is. Dick from Dayton and he's just a treasure. 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:42.280 He's been calling me for god at least twenty years. 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:47.800 We've had a radio relationship. Caller host and he called 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:53.080 me when I was working on Thanksgiving probably twenty years ago, 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:58.800 and a sweet, fun guy. He was going to get 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:04.080 Thanksgiving dinner by himself in Dayton, Ohio, and he was 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:09.040 bragging he paid five dollars for Thanksgiving dinner. And he's 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.040 called me ever since. He calls me once or twice 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:14.640 a week, and I would love to get there. I'm 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:18.560 efforting to get there, Reggie. That is the plan. Some 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.400 of you reached out, I need a venue for the 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:25.120 meet and greet. Based on the feedback that we're getting, 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:26.880 a lot of you are like, hey, he should come 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:33.120 to southern southern Ohio. I don't know, like Cincinnati, Dixon 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.680 in Dayton obviously, and he can't really leave there, so 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.719 I might just have to go to Dayton. I might 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.640 just say, effitt and I'll just go to Dayton. And 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.880 if I have to pick Dick in Dayton up in 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.200 an uber or something, well we'll make it happen. But 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:51.120 as far as the other part of that, I did 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:55.680 see the Ronaldo contract. I read the Sun, which is 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:58.520 a tabloid in London. I don't read it. I scan 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:02.800 it and this thing up. So Ronaldo and you can 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.199 correct me if I'm wrong, Reggie. As I understand it, 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:09.320 Ronaldo is going to earn two hundred and forty three 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:13.959 million dollars per year on his new deal. You talk 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:18.440 about getting some of that Saudi oil money. He will 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:23.480 be paid four point seven million dollars per week. But wait, 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:27.360 there's more. He also gets an ownership stake in the team, 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:32.800 and he's got performance bonuses in there as well. He'll 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:39.800 get was it ten grand per goal? That's that's ten 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:44.240 extra thousand. That's like a startup fee for a tech company. 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:48.760 Ten thousand dollars he'll get oh no, wait, one hundred. 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:52.760 I say one, one hundred and ten grand. I said ten, No, 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:56.559 one hundred and ten grand, My god, ten grand. He 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.800 wouldn't even get out of bed. One hundred and ten 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:03.560 per goal, Now that is more like a tech startup. 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:08.800 He'll get fifty five thousand per assist. So whether he 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:14.160 passes for a goal or scores a goal. Man. Now, 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:18.400 my friend Nico, who's got his son who's a soccer prodigy. 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:23.160 Now Nico, please remember me, Nico when your son ends 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:28.040 up getting that Ronaldo money from Saudi Arabia. Holy crap. 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:33.400 But wait, there's more. So, Reggie, the story says that 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:36.600 essentially Ronaldo has been given not only the two hundred 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:40.200 forty three million dollars, but he's been given an entourage 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:46.600 like he's the president, which includes chef's gardeners, private security 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:50.240 around the clock. And does he get a new pair 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.560 of underwear every day like Floyd Mayweather. My got two 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:55.680 hundred and forty three million, and he gets a thirty 0:14:55.760 --> 0:15:02.680 three percent ownership stake in the club. He'll he'll get 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:07.520 up to twenty five million dollars in team incentives and 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:15.680 as we mentioned, sixteen full time staff members for Ronaldo. Man, 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:19.680 they have so much money because of you and I 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:25.000 buying gas in Saudi Arabia. My god, that can you imagine. 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:28.000 I was like, ah, yeah, we'll pay. We're gonna pay Ronaldo. 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:33.160 We'll give them two hundred and forty three million dollars. Wow, 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:39.520 that is next level. Is obviously obviously what it is. 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:41.880 And if they start I remember we talked about this 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:46.720 when there was some Middle East money that went into golf, 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:51.600 and if they wanted to there's so much money, you 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:53.880 know a couple of these countries, you know, the Saudi 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:57.840 Wellness Fund, We talked about that. How much money they 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:02.360 have they could destroy if they wanted to the NFL, 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.960 the NBA, and Major League Baseball. If they woke up 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:09.200 and got to bug up their ass and said, we 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:13.200 just want to take down the NFL, they would be 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:16.280 able to do that within a year. They have so 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:20.200 much money that they would just cherry pick Patrick Mahomes 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:25.680 and they'd get Josh Allen and the top coaches, Sean 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:29.880 McVay and all these other guys whoever they wanted, because 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:33.600 you could pay them all one hundred million or two 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:37.600 hundred million per year and they would still not It 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:40.760 wouldn't even make a dent in how much money they have, 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:45.080 all right. Next up on the mailbag, we have Hwang, 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.720 who writes us from Vietnam. He says, Big Man and 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:54.480 Daddy g Radio. A woodpecker's tongue loops around its head, 0:16:55.040 --> 0:17:00.240 helping to protect its brain from the force of repeated pecking. Says, 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:04.160 are the rumors true that are you smarter than a 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:08.520 tech queen? The bit was canceled due to the lack 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:14.399 this lack of protection. Wow, well, Quang, the bit is 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:18.000 on hiatus right now. It has not officially officially been canceled. 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:21.520 It just was not up to the standard, Like I know, 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:23.600 I don't have a lot of standards on the show. 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:26.800 It just wasn't good. The people that were calling to 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:29.040 play were not good. Lorena, I love her, but she 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:34.080 didn't take it seriously and it just wasn't good radio. 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:36.760 And so why would we do it? Why would we 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:40.440 continue to do it if the quality was just not there? 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:46.320 It makes no sense now, Tommy. Since he Tommy writes, 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:49.440 and he says, greeting's Big Ben, Benny the Brazen and 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:53.760 Danny g Money, he says, quote, I agree with you, 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.960 smarter than the FSR Tech Queen game was not going well. However, 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:01.720 since he Tommy writes it in I think it should 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:05.680 be retooled instead of shell. If I may touch up 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:09.760 your work. Just to Tad sir, here we go, Tommy says, 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:15.800 consider changing the rules. Alternate picking the category. Lorena and 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:19.399 the challenger must say their first name and answer the 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:24.800 question alone like the other games. Says, allowing contestants and 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:29.720 Lorena to piggyback their answers doesn't work and makes the 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:36.520 game easier and longer. Please consider don't let my legacy end. Benny. 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:43.159 Much love and a little skyline to you both. Well, 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:46.600 there you go Daniel skyline chilly. So this is where 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:49.840 you play the fart sound effects right here? Yep, that's 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:53.440 about right, all right? So that was Tommy. Listen, Tommy, 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:57.840 I'm not as I told Kwang, and I'll repeat it 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:02.679 if you weren't paying attention two seconds ago. At this point, 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:05.879 the game is on pause. Will I consider bringing the 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:09.240 game back at some point? Sure, I'll consider bringing the 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:12.280 game back. I want to say we can come up 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:14.119 with something else. I want to try some other things 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:16.800 and see I've had some bits floating around in my 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:19.560 head that we haven't done, So we'll see where that goes. 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:23.960 Ferg Dog in Fullerton that Winter Wonderland writes, and he says, 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:30.360 simpify Ben and Danny g. In response to Alf's question 0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:35.439 from last week, I don't think there's anything wrong with 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:40.280 listening to a throwaway podcast on two times the speed, 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:44.040 like The Herd or the Puck Podcast. But if you're 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:48.480 listening to a good podcast like The Fifth Hour or 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:52.680 The Animal Thunderdome, you shouldn't alter it in any way. 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:56.119 You wouldn't listen to a classic song at two times 0:19:56.160 --> 0:20:00.480 the speed, would you? Question Mark? He says, what's your 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:04.760 guy's least favorite ride at Disneyland. For me, it is 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:08.119 the Haunted Mansion. I went on it once and I 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:15.320 had nightmares for weeks. Never again, never again. So for 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:21.160 a dog my least favorite ride at Disneyland, let's see, 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:23.320 I guess I would go Space Mountain. I think I'm 0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:26.120 too tall. I'm too big a guy now. I used 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:28.000 to go on it when I was a kid, and 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:30.240 I've heard stories that people if you're a little too 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:32.639 tall there, like there have been people that have been 0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:34.439 hurt on it, and I don't think that'll happen anymore. 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:37.159 There's enough people that ride it that doesn't really do 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:39.399 much for me, And I'm trying to think, like I 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:43.360 usually just avoid the rides I don't like. I don't 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:46.760 bother to go on them. So if they don't look 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:49.080 interesting to me, unless I'm being forced to go on 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:51.440 them because I'm with my niece or nephew or something 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:55.240 like that, I'm like, eh, I'm good. I'm not I'm 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:58.480 not going to be partaking if it doesn't look good, 0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:01.440 because the most important thing we have is our time. 0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:06.200 But yeah, I go Space Mountain. I'm trying to think 0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:09.359 what other rides are like, pretty lame? I guess the 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:12.960 the submarine ride. I think they still have that. I 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:16.000 think they changed the name of it though I used 0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:20.120 to like Splash Mountain. They change that. But you get soaked, 0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:24.240 so I'm not not going on that. My wife hates it. 0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:27.320 She's can't ah, you get so wet. It's discussing anyway. 0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:31.480 Paul from Oregon rights and says, Ben and Danny, you 0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:35.240 guys calling your travel agent about the big travel news 0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:41.240 this week. And Paul says that North Korea Kim Jong 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:46.400 un has opened a new beach resort. Okay, I don't 0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:50.080 think we're allowed. Uh yeah, that'd be a tough one. 0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:53.480 Although I have been sent by some of you idiots 0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:58.280 travel blogs on YouTube of people that have gone to 0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:01.400 North Korea, Like they're a lot if you're like British. 0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:04.880 I mean they allow some people to go. And I'm 0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:06.879 guessing they don't show you the whole picture. They only 0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:09.199 show you a part of the picture, if you know 0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:13.639 what I mean. Yeah, that's I'm good on that. I 0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:17.400 saw some of the photos. Look looks fine. I don't 0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:23.560 think the food's that good. Frankie from Philadelphia Adjacent Frankie 0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:28.399 says he says, hey, bandon Danny. You guys proud of 0:22:28.400 --> 0:22:30.719 your baby talk. I think this is more for Danny 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:36.359 than for me. But Danny is not here. And Frankie says, 0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:39.840 this story he found this week is that baby talk 0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:43.600 is believed to be the reason humans are the only 0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:49.000 speaking species on Earth baby talk. And he sent me 0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:51.560 a story here. According to the story, and I don't 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:54.160 know where Frankie got this from. He says, human infants 0:22:54.800 --> 0:22:57.520 receive up to four hundred up to a weasel term, 0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:02.320 up to four hundred times more direct vocal communication then 0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:08.760 baby bontabos, and nearly seventy times more than baby chimpanzees. 0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:17.280 The suggestion is that talkative parenting is unique among the 0:23:17.320 --> 0:23:21.640 great apes. So the human beings talking and they say 0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:27.520 that well, background chatter around the children infants similar across humans, 0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:32.880 chimps and all the other ape species. It is only 0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:39.480 only the human caregiver that is focused on speech directly 0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:46.480 at the baby, and so that helps encourage learning. But 0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:49.720 here's the thing. Obviously, Frankie is like, yeah, we do that, 0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:53.439 but are you You're born doing that right, because some 0:23:53.840 --> 0:23:58.159 human beings didn't start out with me. Somewhere along the 0:23:58.160 --> 0:24:01.120 way the first humans, I do the math on that 0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:04.040 they didn't you know, where did they come from? Etc? 0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:08.040 Evolution all that. Those are some deep conversations, but the 0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:12.000 early kids were their parents talking right away like how 0:24:12.000 --> 0:24:16.680 did that work? I don't know, but thank you, Frankie, 0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:20.800 and I'm sure Danny he'll address that at a later date. 0:24:21.280 --> 0:24:26.760 For baby Ka. Joe from New York, New York, right Sin, 0:24:26.880 --> 0:24:30.000 He says, Ben, since you have talked about your spitting 0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:33.479 loogie fascination on the show, I thought you'd appreciate this story. 0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:38.880 Have a great day, enjoy the radio show and the podcast. 0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:42.680 You better not stop doing either. That is from Joe 0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:47.880 in New York. And Joe sent a story about what 0:24:47.920 --> 0:24:53.280 to do with flem and he wrote this like Shakespeare, 0:24:54.520 --> 0:25:00.719 he wrote, to spit or to swallow flem. So I 0:25:00.760 --> 0:25:03.520 read the story, Joe, and it's pretty funny because the 0:25:03.560 --> 0:25:08.159 story concluded going it's a very worthy story, and it 0:25:08.240 --> 0:25:12.560 concluded you're fine doing either either you spit that big 0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:18.160 wad of mucissi flem out or you swallow it back 0:25:18.160 --> 0:25:22.760 into your stomach. The story says spitting can help some 0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:25.760 people feel better, especially if their cough is associated with 0:25:26.280 --> 0:25:30.520 thick flem. That's causing distress. But for most healthy people 0:25:31.040 --> 0:25:34.080 there is no need to force a cough or spit 0:25:34.160 --> 0:25:40.960 out flem. Swallowing flem is completely safe. Okay. Now, one 0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:43.640 thing about this story, Joe, My favorite part is that 0:25:43.760 --> 0:25:46.359 if you go back to the eighteen twenties, so a 0:25:46.359 --> 0:25:53.159 couple hundred years ago, there was a French physician who 0:25:53.320 --> 0:25:57.199 invented the guy that invented the stepiscope, and in his 0:25:57.400 --> 0:26:04.080 office he had a spitting pot, he said, a spinning 0:26:04.119 --> 0:26:09.320 pot he considered an essential part of the bedroom apparatus. 0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:13.160 So not only his office, but like in the bedroom, 0:26:13.240 --> 0:26:15.119 near the bed, you had to have a thing just 0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:18.680 to spit flem into. How do you like that? Put 0:26:18.680 --> 0:26:25.200 that in your pipe and smoke it. Carl from Vegas 0:26:25.280 --> 0:26:28.639 rights and Carl says, Hey, Ben and Danny, I enjoy 0:26:28.720 --> 0:26:31.840 the mail bag. I thought this would be good for you. Okay, 0:26:31.920 --> 0:26:34.359 thank you. That's all we need. Send me more, guys, 0:26:34.400 --> 0:26:36.200 if you see stuff that you think we would be 0:26:36.240 --> 0:26:40.320 good for the show. It's real fifth hour at gmail 0:26:40.359 --> 0:26:43.160 dot com. That's real fifth hour at gmail dot com. 0:26:43.280 --> 0:26:48.000 All all letters, no numbers, Carl says, is this guy 0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:53.679 the cowboy John brad of magic? So he sent me 0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:57.440 a story here. A magician was on the Today Show 0:26:57.480 --> 0:27:04.159 this week and has memori every zip code in America, 0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:09.760 every single zip code in America. This guy has has 0:27:09.840 --> 0:27:17.560 gotten his head. So Carl a couple things. Number one, number, 0:27:17.560 --> 0:27:22.159 one number. It's obvious this guy has some kind of 0:27:22.240 --> 0:27:28.600 photographic memory, right, certain people have that. I don't have that. 0:27:29.000 --> 0:27:32.359 I'm assuming you don't have that, right, otherwise you wouldn't 0:27:32.359 --> 0:27:36.040 have sent this in, Carl, So we don't have that. 0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:43.080 Number two. Yeah. The beauty of Cowboy John Brad is 0:27:43.119 --> 0:27:46.760 he does not own a computer, he does not have 0:27:47.840 --> 0:27:50.960 a smartphone, he does not have any of that stuff. 0:27:50.960 --> 0:27:55.439 But yet he remembers everything, like every day of his 0:27:55.520 --> 0:28:00.280 life he remembers. And he started to call the show again. 0:28:00.400 --> 0:28:04.919 And so I don't know particularly, I didn't see the 0:28:04.960 --> 0:28:09.240 segment with the guy that knows every zip code in America. 0:28:09.440 --> 0:28:13.920 I didn't see it. However, it doesn't really like shock 0:28:14.000 --> 0:28:17.680 me because if you have that ability, I get it. 0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:20.760
