Speaker 1: Kabooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.

Speaker 1: you can hear this podcast. This is a spinoff of
Speaker 1: the Overnight Show. You hear Danny G during the week
Speaker 1: on Covino and Rich and both The Ben Mahler Show
Speaker 1: and Covino and Vich proudly heard on the iHeart Network
Speaker 1: sports radio of course, but the iHeart Podcast network where
Speaker 1: you hear this show available wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1: A global audience, so they tell me, a global audience.
Speaker 1: We did have a good night of global calls. I
Speaker 1: think it was Thursday. We had the first hour. We
Speaker 1: had a call from Jerusalem and a call from the
Speaker 1: Auto Bonn in Germany, so that was kind of cool.
Speaker 1: Well a little bit of this, a little bit of that,
Speaker 1: so that was neat. And then of course we went
Speaker 1: from those calls to a guy in West Covina, so
Speaker 1: you know, what the heck, what the heck?
Speaker 3: I would love to drive on the Autobond sometime.
Speaker 1: This guy, Butch, he's from the States, but he lives
Speaker 1: he's a contractor. He lives overseas with his family, and
Speaker 1: he loves to call the show from the Autobhn. He
Speaker 1: gets like a big kick out of it. He thinks
Speaker 1: it's like the coolest thing in the world. And I
Speaker 1: don't disagree. I don't disagree. It's kind of cool that
Speaker 1: he calls up and tell stories and he goes to
Speaker 1: all these different European countries, so he likes to to
Speaker 1: check in and it's like his own taskport when he
Speaker 1: calls in from these different places. Oh, before I forget,
Speaker 1: By the way, this is the final Saturday before the
Speaker 1: Mauther meet and greet is one week from today. Today
Speaker 1: is the thirteenth of May, May twentieth, so a week
Speaker 1: from today five pm to nine pm, it'll be on
Speaker 1: like Donkey Kong at the Mermaid Inn. And Events Center
Speaker 1: in Moundsview, Minnesota. I have never been to Mounds Yew, Minnesota.
Speaker 1: I have no idea what I'm getting myself into, but
Speaker 1: this place looks really cool and they've got all kinds
Speaker 1: of entertainment. They get an arcade, bowling, axe throwing, and
Speaker 1: my fat ass will be there. Doc Mike's driving in
Speaker 1: from Chicago. We've got the Minnesota contingent. We've got listeners
Speaker 1: that have rsvp'ed from Iowa, from Wisconsin. There's rumors we've
Speaker 1: got possibly from Maryland, Florida, California. It's gonna be crazy,
Speaker 1: Dan and I cannot wait to get there and hang
Speaker 1: out with everybody and then travel around and see Minnesota
Speaker 1: and the sites and sounds and all. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: a fun weekend. But a week from today I will
Speaker 1: be hanging out there again. Mermaid's in an event Center,
Speaker 1: Mermaid in No S Mermaid and Event Center, twenty two
Speaker 1: hundred Mounds View Boulevard in beautiful Mounds View, Minnesota. I
Speaker 1: don't know that anyone famous came from Moundsview, Minnesota, but
Speaker 1: that's where it is.
Speaker 3: This is even going to have a family reunion barbecue
Speaker 3: feel because there's T shirts involved.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, there are not available anymore. If you missed
Speaker 1: out on that, you snooze, you'll lose. Unfortunately, there was
Speaker 1: a limited edition shirt which should arrive just before the
Speaker 1: meet and greet. They have not been sent out yet,
Speaker 1: I understand, but they are going to be sent out
Speaker 1: and assuming the United States Postal Service does their job
Speaker 1: and depending on where you are, you should get the
Speaker 1: shirt if you ordered one in time for the meet
Speaker 1: and greet. Knock on wood and we might do another
Speaker 1: shirt people want. I'll talk to the people see if
Speaker 1: they like that. We might do something else malard themed
Speaker 1: for the summer. So who knew that?
Speaker 4: No, I gotta do some Fifth Hour podcast shirts.
Speaker 1: That's a great idea. I think we should do that. Also,
Speaker 1: we can do a Daddy g radio shirt. Would you
Speaker 1: wear a shirt with your name on it? That's the question.
Speaker 1: It's an awkward thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe your name, not your face, not your photo,
Speaker 3: that would be awkward.
Speaker 1: That's definitely a no. No, you cannot wear your photo.
Speaker 1: That's a party foul. That's like naming, giving yourself a nickname,
Speaker 1: which the only person that successfully gave themselves a nickname?
Speaker 1: You know it is right? No, Tobi Tobi brought it.
Speaker 1: Kobe called himself the Black Mamba. He came up with
Speaker 1: a nickname. Gotcha is nobody? You can't come up with
Speaker 1: your own nickname, Kobe could anybody on the Clippers is
Speaker 1: half of what Kobe Bryant is edited audios? What that is?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 1: I have all these nicknames, Danny g. But I didn't
Speaker 1: come up with them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you molded a lot of them, though I.
Speaker 1: Did not know. I did not These came from different
Speaker 1: people who happened to be fans of the show that said, hey,
Speaker 1: you know what you are. Most of them came from
Speaker 1: this guy, Richard the racehorse from Detroit, who I don't
Speaker 1: even know if he's still around, but he hasn't called
Speaker 1: the show in a while. But I didn't give myself
Speaker 1: the nickname the spinmaster of misinformation or the bannering Broadcaster.
Speaker 1: I didn't say you know what you are? You're the
Speaker 1: Beethoven of bs so the curmudget commentary. I didn't do
Speaker 1: any of those things, dany Gy. I didn't say, hey,
Speaker 1: you're the Chasm of Sarka. Let's move on, the Czar
Speaker 1: of Zanny, the dark Knight of weak Night sports Radio,
Speaker 1: the Mogul of mischief, Benny the Brazen, the King of Zing,
Speaker 1: money Ball Mallor, Benny the Bopper, the Facetious Fox. They
Speaker 1: didn't say, you know what you are? The Sultan of insulting, No,
Speaker 1: the Shaman of shot in freude.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna eat my peanut butter toast right.
Speaker 1: Now, Jumping Jack of Wisecrack, Insight of Overnight Medicine, Man Mallard,
Speaker 1: I'm getting choked up. This is so great. Nay Bob
Speaker 1: of Negativity, Sage of Outrage, Pinnacle of cynical, no Prince
Speaker 1: and Preposterous, Professor Propaganda, his arf hy probably and the
Speaker 1: mad Hatter of sports chatter.
Speaker 4: That's some good jelly.
Speaker 1: That's only half of my my nicknames. I could do
Speaker 1: the other half if you want, but I'm not. You
Speaker 1: know I'm not. I'll save you from that. I'll save
Speaker 1: you from that. Oh yes. On this podcast, the one
Speaker 1: you are listening to right now, we've got cash Back, Benny,
Speaker 1: life Hack of the Week, Bone Booth, Box Office, blast Off, Backscratcher,
Speaker 1: and Scientifical. That is a lot of stuff. That is
Speaker 1: a lot of different stuff. So we'll start with a
Speaker 1: life hack. We're gonna call it cash back Benny. So
Speaker 1: in a previous episode of this podcast, which may or
Speaker 1: may not have been the previous podcast that we did,
Speaker 1: I told the story of how the Malor mansion needed
Speaker 1: new insurance and that cost me my all of my
Speaker 1: liquid money, all of my travel fun money gone zero, zippo,
Speaker 1: it's all, none of it's left. And because I had
Speaker 1: to spend it, seventy five hundred dollars on electrical work
Speaker 1: for the house, so I can't go to Maine, can't
Speaker 1: go see my brother in New York, you know, the
Speaker 1: whole thing. But my wife's like, hey, I need to
Speaker 1: get I want to get a new like an air conditioner.
Speaker 1: We don't have really the money. I want to get
Speaker 1: an air conditioner for the house for the summer it's
Speaker 1: gonna get hot. We have kind of an older air conditioner,
Speaker 1: like we use the We use the room air conditioners
Speaker 1: because it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the
Speaker 1: actual air conditioner for the house. Because that's a nightmare.
Speaker 1: So whatever room you're in, you just turned the air
Speaker 1: conditioner on. But the main room which we sleep in,
Speaker 1: the air conditions kind of it's a little so, so
Speaker 1: we need another one. This is a room missing it,
Speaker 1: so whatever, But we didn't have the money. So I
Speaker 1: remember and my wife reminded me of a life hack.
Speaker 1: It called me cash back Benny. So she wants this
Speaker 1: big air room air conditioner. We got no money, so
Speaker 1: what do we do? We dipped in Danny g to
Speaker 1: the rainy day fund and I was able to come
Speaker 1: up with enough money by doing something that I would
Speaker 1: have done anyway, and paid me and I had forgotten
Speaker 1: about it. But it was adding money by the day.
Speaker 1: And the answer is Bing, Danny, do you know what
Speaker 1: that means? Bing is the answer. Do you realize what
Speaker 1: that is?
Speaker 4: No? All right?
Speaker 1: So you know how everyone uses Google? Mm hmm, that's
Speaker 1: like the premium search engine. I don't use Google. I
Speaker 1: don't google things. I use Bing. So I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1: So my older brother told me about this. So Bing.
Speaker 1: If you sign up for a Bing account and you
Speaker 1: just log in and then you forget about it, they
Speaker 1: will pay you for like when you search on Bing,
Speaker 1: they will give you credit and then after a certain
Speaker 1: amount of time, you get these points and you can
Speaker 1: then cash them in for Amazon gift cards. There's a
Speaker 1: bunch of other things you can cash them in for.
Speaker 4: So the way, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and you, Danny, because you work in our business. Here.
Speaker 1: The main reason I use search insines a lot. I'm
Speaker 1: looking for different things to kind of enhance monologues or
Speaker 1: enhance the show. I'm always searching for crap.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Plus one of your main addictions, how about.
Speaker 1: Yeah? So so anyways hello, yeah. So whether it's naughty
Speaker 1: or nice, it doesn't matter. And so over the last
Speaker 1: couple of years, I'd forgotten about It's one of these things.
Speaker 1: You said it and forget it. And I had, and
Speaker 1: I'm not exaggerating hundreds and hundreds of dollars in Amazon
Speaker 1: money that was just sitting there that I didn't even know.
Speaker 1: And I did nothing other than what I normally would
Speaker 1: have done for my job. And the reason I don't
Speaker 1: have a problem with this is so whether they're tracking
Speaker 1: where you search. Don't you think all of the search
Speaker 1: engines track, So it's not like if you go on Google,
Speaker 1: they're not tracking what you're doing. Of course, they're tracking
Speaker 1: what you're doing. That's what they all these internet companies.
Speaker 1: It's like you are the product. The only as that
Speaker 1: old line goes, the only companies that call their customers
Speaker 1: users are drugs and the Internet. That's it. You're right
Speaker 1: user of the Internet, you are the product. And so
Speaker 1: I have no problem with it, and I do recommend
Speaker 1: it Danny, because it's especially now Bing's got that AI
Speaker 1: thing on it. They're ahead of Google and the AI
Speaker 1: for now. But this paid You know how expensive air
Speaker 1: conditioners are. This thing paid for like eighty five percent
Speaker 1: of the air conditioners. So and I don't I'm not
Speaker 1: getting money from being I don't work for Bing. I
Speaker 1: don't even really think Bing's all that great. But I
Speaker 1: don't think it's much different than Google. And if you've
Speaker 1: got to search the internet, if you have a job,
Speaker 1: you have to search for stuff a lot like I
Speaker 1: have or Danny has. I mean, why not Danny's free money?
Speaker 4: What You've got to sign up for an account?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I got a I got a bogus well
Speaker 1: not bogus, I just got a dummy email which I
Speaker 1: don't check. And then I that's that's where, and I
Speaker 1: completely forgot about it. And it just adds up. You
Speaker 1: get points every single day you can you can log
Speaker 1: in on your phone and you can get some more
Speaker 1: more points and all that. So it's a it's an
Speaker 1: easy thing to do. And it's called Microsoft Awards. When
Speaker 1: you log into to bing and there's all kinds and
Speaker 1: again I don't know, I'm not getting paid. It's not
Speaker 1: a commercial. Sounds like a commercial. I just I really,
Speaker 1: I think it's a great thing because you can, you know,
Speaker 1: you can get free money out of stuff. And when
Speaker 1: you when you spend seven grand on electrical work and
Speaker 1: then you're run an out of money and you want
Speaker 1: to buy something, you can get cash back essentially, So
Speaker 1: it's a it's a good thing to do.
Speaker 4: So I like it. I like it.
Speaker 3: You know, I have one small virus in this laptop
Speaker 3: and it automatically makes me go to bing because of it,
Speaker 3: So it's already directing me that way thanks to a virus.
Speaker 3: So you're dealing with a company that puts viruses in computers.
Speaker 4: But at least they pay you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go, and they have like they have
Speaker 1: like I used Amazon, but they have Starbucks money, you
Speaker 1: can get gift cards, you can get Burger King, Domino's, Walmart, Target,
Speaker 1: the Dunkin Donut. I mean, there's all big companies are
Speaker 1: on there. So it's uh. I chose Amazon because I
Speaker 1: needed what I needed, but there's a bunch of other
Speaker 1: stuff on there anyway, So if you want to do it,
Speaker 1: it's a life hack. Free money might as well. I
Speaker 1: always love free money. What the heck, And into the
Speaker 1: phone booth we go, Danny, We got to go to
Speaker 1: the phone booth. That's what we do.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 3: As you know firsthand, the new studios have had some
Speaker 3: ups and downs. They look very beautiful, but technically there's
Speaker 3: still some smaller issues that they've.
Speaker 4: Been ironing out.
Speaker 3: As we like to say, and we said on that
Speaker 3: special podcast where we were reminiscing about all the greatest
Speaker 3: moments in the old Fox Sports Radio Network studios. One
Speaker 3: thing that your old producer, wrong Button Bob constantly has
Speaker 3: been bothering the engineers about is he needs a hotline number.
Speaker 3: Where's the hot line? I need hotline numbers. I need
Speaker 3: a warm line, and I need a hotline because every
Speaker 3: hour on the odd couple he has a guest that
Speaker 3: will call him on the hot line or he calls
Speaker 3: them on that number. When we first moved into Rush
Speaker 3: Limbaugh's old studio, the phone system did not have a
Speaker 3: warm line or a hot line, so we were having
Speaker 3: to call guests off the regular phone number off of
Speaker 3: one of the regular lines, and you know that could
Speaker 3: be a little hairy, let's say, And here's proof of that.
Speaker 3: So after Covino and Rich is over, I'm doing post production.
Speaker 3: I'm also in the kitchen heating something up in the
Speaker 3: microwave for a snack, and I walk into the main
Speaker 3: studio to grab my backpack. Ron Button Bob actually wasn't
Speaker 3: there that day. I don't want to say the producer's
Speaker 3: name because I don't want to bust his chops because
Speaker 3: this experience looked like it scarred him.
Speaker 4: Let's say his name. It rhymes with Reathan.
Speaker 3: He was filling in for wrong Button Bob, and he
Speaker 3: dialed up NBA great Gilbert Arenas as the guest.
Speaker 4: Okay, there's another edit.
Speaker 3: Bay guy in the studio and he tells Reathan and
Speaker 3: he tells Alex the engineer on that shift, Oh, man,
Speaker 3: I loved Gilbert Arenas when he was playing. They're having
Speaker 3: like this little small talk about Gilbert Arenas, and he's like,
Speaker 3: did he bring a gun into the locker room? And
Speaker 3: there they were kind of like, you know, they were
Speaker 3: going down memory lane. As Chris Brussard and Rob Parker
Speaker 3: on the air are introing Gilbert Arenas. So he's got
Speaker 3: him punched up on the phone, and Chris gives him
Speaker 3: this big introduction. As Chris is rambling off Gilbert's resume,
Speaker 3: you hear him on the phone and he's getting ready
Speaker 3: to talk, and Chris Broussard says, Gilbert Arenas, welcome into
Speaker 3: the couple. And there's a pause one beat, and then
Speaker 3: the voice says, this is not Gilbert Arenas. Uh oh,
Speaker 3: and Chris Phersard says, it is not.
Speaker 1: Always the Optimist, always the Optimist.
Speaker 3: It was one of their regular callers who was on
Speaker 3: hold on one of the regular lines, and so poor
Speaker 3: Reathan punched up the wrong line. Because you know, those
Speaker 3: studio lines are all black buttons. They all kind of
Speaker 3: look the same right now. They weren't even labeled last week.
Speaker 3: So he just hit the one above the one he
Speaker 3: was supposed to push. A listener who was hearing in
Speaker 3: his handset this big introduction and then he says this
Speaker 3: is not Gilbert, and we're dying laughing and producer filling
Speaker 3: in for wrong button Bob. He looked pale. He did
Speaker 3: not he wasn't amused. He didn't think it was a
Speaker 3: funny moment the way we did. Alex immediately turned it
Speaker 3: into a drop. Not on the air, but off the air.
Speaker 3: During commercial breaks, you'll hear Alex playing this is not
Speaker 3: Gilbert Renus.
Speaker 1: That is great. That is not the first time that
Speaker 1: has happened. We were in the early days of Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, the very very early days. We were Steve Mason,
Speaker 1: who's at the ESPN station in La Mason and Ireland.
Speaker 1: But Mason was doing a show on a Saturday night
Speaker 1: and he thought he was talking to Jim Bowden, who
Speaker 1: was the general manager of the Cincinnati Reds at the time.
Speaker 1: This goes way back, like this is like a million
Speaker 1: years ago, and Jim Boden Bowden rather was the GM
Speaker 1: of the Reds. But Jim Boden, you know, Jim Boden
Speaker 1: was much much different, much different story. He was the
Speaker 1: guy from I think it was called Ball four, you
Speaker 1: know it. It was the book about remember the wife swapping.
Speaker 4: Oh I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, so the producer put him
Speaker 1: on and Mason thought he was interviewing the Reds general manager,
Speaker 1: and he was not. He was interviewing the guy Jim
Speaker 1: Boughten from Baalton. But Jim Bowten realized that he the
Speaker 1: guy interviewing him, didn't realize who he was talking to.
Speaker 1: So when Mason was asking Bouten about, you know, Ken
Speaker 1: Griffy Junior and what's going on because he wasn't playing
Speaker 1: well for the Reds, and Jim Bound's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna trade him. He's not, He's not doing that.
Speaker 1: It was hilarious. It was so it was so great
Speaker 1: and we were all I was in the studio, We're like, whoa,
Speaker 1: that was breaking news. The wildest, wildest crazy thing. I
Speaker 1: think Jim Boughten actually died a few years ago, but
Speaker 1: he had a great sense of humor. Man, he just
Speaker 1: went with it and he's like, Okay, this guy does
Speaker 1: not know who he's talking to, so I am just
Speaker 1: going to get the craziest dans. And he was so
Speaker 1: smart about it. As I remember it, maybe I got
Speaker 1: it wrong, but as I remember it in the time
Speaker 1: looking back, like he started out kind of like serious,
Speaker 1: like he was, they weren't outrageous, and then when when
Speaker 1: he kept getting asked questions, he just kept giving more
Speaker 1: outrageous answers, like he's getting he got more crazier and
Speaker 1: crazier and crazier, and it was It was just wonderful.
Speaker 1: And Jim Boughten also created something Danny the real Gym,
Speaker 1: not Jim Bowden, who else? He did actually end up
Speaker 1: working at Fox Sports Radio, which is which is kind
Speaker 1: of crazy. Later on he was one of our baseball
Speaker 1: and analysts. I did some shows with him.
Speaker 4: Is a good dude.
Speaker 1: But but Jim Boughten, Uh, he he created something that
Speaker 1: was a big part of little league and youth baseball.
Speaker 1: If you're around my age when you wanted to mimic
Speaker 1: baseball players, Danny, did you ever have and maybe you
Speaker 1: didn't have this, but it was a big part of
Speaker 1: my life Big League two? Did you ever?
Speaker 4: Of course?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was so good and for all of us
Speaker 1: who are around that age are heroes in baseball. You
Speaker 1: could not watch a baseball game without a giant golf
Speaker 1: ball in the in the in the mouth and uh,
Speaker 1: tobacco being spit all over the field.
Speaker 3: Yes, it looked like a tobacco pouch. The gum inside
Speaker 3: was in strands and you would just take a big
Speaker 3: handful of it and chuck it in your mouth, and yeah, man,
Speaker 3: it it was. It was a big part of our
Speaker 3: childhood with baseball.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you thought you thought you were like the boss man.
Speaker 1: You were like, you know, this is like a starter
Speaker 1: kit to chewing tobacco. You're ready to go. Nowadays, of
Speaker 1: course people would get very up Sode. You should not
Speaker 1: be showing that to children. What's wrong with your Shame
Speaker 1: on you. But it was a pretty pretty smart, pretty
Speaker 1: smart idea a bunch of people. There were like three
Speaker 1: or four people, but Jim Boughten was part of that. Anyway.
Speaker 1: I did not expect to go down Jim bouton highway
Speaker 1: when we talked about Gilbert Arenas. But are they going
Speaker 1: to put a hot line in or two hot lines?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: So I want to say this past Wednesday or Thursday,
Speaker 3: the hot line and warm line numbers were added to
Speaker 3: the phone system.
Speaker 1: Oh so, so the same numbers we had in the
Speaker 1: other place are wrong.
Speaker 4: Button.
Speaker 3: I was trying to figure that out the other day.
Speaker 3: But I do know that two numbers were installed to
Speaker 3: that new phone system. But it's funny. It would be
Speaker 3: like it. It would be the equivalent to you doing
Speaker 3: this huge build up to welcome in lamar odom onto
Speaker 3: your show. Former Clipper, former laker lamar otum and then
Speaker 3: Dick and Dayton's voice comes on and this isn't lamar.
Speaker 1: Well what I was doing local radio years ago. We
Speaker 1: had a caller this and I don't even know who
Speaker 1: it was, and I don't know We had this Lee Clein,
Speaker 1: who we've had on you you know, your Battle Royale
Speaker 1: there would lead back in the day. But Lee did
Speaker 1: a show after me and Dave Smith, and we had
Speaker 1: a caller that called up and we were promoting like
Speaker 1: Lee Clein's coming up when we get done, and this
Speaker 1: guy in this like thick you know Mexican accent, says,
Speaker 1: who the hell is Lee Kleine. It was the funniest
Speaker 1: that as a drop. It was so funny, the timing
Speaker 1: that guy nailed it. Comedy genius, whoever that guy was,
Speaker 1: it was hilarious. Well, when you find out what the
Speaker 1: inside numbers are, let me know, Danny, so I can
Speaker 1: adjust my And not that we give out the hotline
Speaker 1: very often, but sometimes I'll have people call in and
Speaker 1: there is no number other than the call in the
Speaker 1: regular on air number to call. So yeah, it would
Speaker 1: be nice if they passed that number out to people
Speaker 1: so they would have the inside number. I liked it.
Speaker 1: It's taken several weeks for them to get around to
Speaker 1: that though. That's good. You think that might have been
Speaker 1: something you might want to be right away, But what
Speaker 1: do I know? I know nothing.
Speaker 3: It was funny because wrong Button Bob was asking for
Speaker 3: it so often that this past Monday or Tuesday when
Speaker 3: he asked the engineer, are we going to get the
Speaker 3: hotline yet? And the engineer said, every time you asked
Speaker 3: for it, it's going to be two days longer.
Speaker 1: That sounds about right. That sounds about right. We'll waiting
Speaker 1: for that, but we have something else. We're ready for
Speaker 1: the box office. Blast off it blast off. If you
Speaker 1: ask for it, they will come. Danny g We had
Speaker 1: many people that sent in movie ideas. You had told
Speaker 1: the story last week. As the school year winds down,
Speaker 1: you were planning on having a wonderful, glorious movie event
Speaker 1: at the school. You're gonna have a movie day at
Speaker 1: the school. We're all the kiddos.
Speaker 3: I get to play one movie each morning, so I
Speaker 3: need five amazing movies that we really appreciate that I
Speaker 3: want to pass on to these middle school students.
Speaker 1: All right, So Kyrie, who's in O case?
Speaker 4: You.
Speaker 1: Now, he says, these are movies from when he was
Speaker 1: a kid. He's thirty two years old, so he said,
Speaker 1: a little younger than us, Actually a lot younger, but anyway, whatever,
Speaker 1: So Kyrie is our guy. We love Kyrie, big fan
Speaker 1: of the show. So Kyrie says, here are the movies
Speaker 1: that that from his childhood that were important for him.
Speaker 1: James and the Giant Peach. Okay, Matilda, All Dogs Go
Speaker 1: to Heaven, Oliver and Company, those are the ones.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 1: Uh. Mike from Fullerton said he had a few suggestions
Speaker 1: for you. He wrote in he says, how about either
Speaker 1: the Sandlot or the original Space Jam with MJ and
Speaker 1: that other bum who me?
Speaker 4: Sandlot's a good idea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he said, if you want something a little
Speaker 1: less sporty, you should go with the Great misdoubt Fire.
Speaker 1: Now what do these have to do? These have to
Speaker 1: be what'd you say, PG? Is that what you?
Speaker 4: I think?
Speaker 3: Misdoubt Fire wouldn't pass the sniff test nowadays? How sensitive
Speaker 3: people are?
Speaker 1: Oh well, he says, he says, I doubt it'll be
Speaker 1: the first time any of the kids have seen a
Speaker 1: man pretending to be a woman. Wow, Okay, but yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a Big the Big Drag movie back in
Speaker 1: the in the day. Well, I guess, uh, Steve writes
Speaker 1: and he's his home alone. But isn't that kind of
Speaker 1: an obvious one? Do you really need Steve to write?
Speaker 1: And I mean no disrespect to Steve, but.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like the kids have all seen Home
Speaker 3: Alone during the Christmas season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think you need to. I don't think
Speaker 1: you need to go down that road. Mike. Oh you
Speaker 1: know what, I actually like this one a lot. I
Speaker 1: don't know what the rating is, though, I thought this
Speaker 1: was a great movie. What about Bob? Remember that movie?
Speaker 1: What about Bob?
Speaker 4: I do remember that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Would that not fly? What was the rating on that?
Speaker 3: I don't know. Yeah, that might be for adults. I
Speaker 3: mean we saw as kids and liked it. I don't
Speaker 3: know if kids nowadays would appreciate it.
Speaker 1: It was pretty funny though, but maybe not. The kids
Speaker 1: today have the they have technology and see let me
Speaker 1: type of interest to see what it is? See what
Speaker 1: about Bob?

Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't see the rating on it.
Speaker 1: I don't either. How do they not have the rating?
Speaker 1: Doctor Leo Marvin Richard drives. I think that'd be all right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: toss it out. I don't know. I liked it. I
Speaker 1: thought it was good. I think it'd be okay. What
Speaker 1: else do we have here on the box office blast off?
Speaker 1: I thought we mentioned this one last week from from Mark.
Speaker 1: He says, groundhog Day. But that didn't we I thought
Speaker 1: that came up last.

Speaker 1: with it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, with John Candy. No, No, it's it's silly. It's

Speaker 3: to be fast paced and preferably silly.
Speaker 4: For these kids.
Speaker 1: Gotcha, gotcha?
Speaker 4: All right, that's why I'm going.
Speaker 3: To start off with the Goonies on the final Monday
Speaker 3: of school.
Speaker 1: That would be a good one.
Speaker 4: They'll like that.
Speaker 1: They should like the Goonies in the Postally they have
Speaker 1: phones shuffle do it? Why didn't they put that on
Speaker 1: the TikTok? They could have put the you know, the
Speaker 1: monster on the TikTok. What's up with that? I don't understand.
Speaker 1: They would have gone viral. You know, other toddles the
Speaker 1: backscratcher segment. Danny G. Right, now you scratch our back,
Speaker 1: we scratch yours. And this week, did we get three reviews?
Speaker 1: Two reviews or no reviews?
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say two reviews.
Speaker 1: Danny G. You are overly optimistic. We pitched a shutout.
Speaker 1: We pitched a shutout, which is disappointing, because I'll tell
Speaker 1: you why if you go to the Apple podcast page.
Speaker 1: We have been trying to get to four hundred. We
Speaker 1: like round numbers, a nice big round number. We are
Speaker 1: still two reviews away from the magic where at three
Speaker 1: ninety eight. We need to get to four hundred, So
Speaker 1: you could be number three ninety nine and then somebody
Speaker 1: else will be number four hundred or vice versa, and
Speaker 1: then we'll get to that round number and then we
Speaker 1: can keep going to five hundred. But my math tells me, Danny,
Speaker 1: we have to get to four hundred before we get
Speaker 1: to five hundred. There's no way to get to five
Speaker 1: hundred without getting to four hundred.
Speaker 3: So yeah, and if I remember correctly, we targeted the
Speaker 3: month of June to get there, So come on, let's go.
Speaker 4: We gotta get it done this month.
Speaker 1: You only have a you know, a few months is
Speaker 1: flying by times flying by. Can't slow it down. Won't
Speaker 1: slow it down even if we wanted to slow it down.
Speaker 4: You gotta beat the baby. We need these reviews before
Speaker 4: her water breaks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how disappointed would Danny G's sun be if that
Speaker 1: his dad did not get the four hundred reviews on
Speaker 1: the podcast. I'm embarrassed. You want to embarrass Danny ge
Speaker 1: and his kids? I mean, kid's gonna be be proud
Speaker 1: of him. You want you anyway? All right, So if
Speaker 1: you want to do that, it's in the description on
Speaker 1: this podcast. But go to the podcast page for Apple
Speaker 1: Apple dot com. It's podcast dot Apple dot com search
Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour with Ben. You can also, while you're
Speaker 1: at it, give a review to the Ben Maler Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Let's Get Scientifical. What do you say, DANNYJ. You want
Speaker 1: to get scientifical.
Speaker 4: Let's do it right.
Speaker 1: We'll get scientifical right now. These are some science stories
Speaker 1: that cut my attention. Science related stories. You don't often
Speaker 1: think of Windy's when you think of science, the fast
Speaker 1: food place with the square burgers and the chicken. But
Speaker 1: ten up, there's a science story, Let's get scientifical coming
Speaker 1: from Windy's. They have announced they will soon deploy drive
Speaker 1: through chat bots. The chat bots AI at the drive through,
Speaker 1: So when you want the frosty and the nuggets and
Speaker 1: the large fry, you will be talking to AI. That
Speaker 1: is going to be the new thing here.
Speaker 3: And Windy, Who's going to be at the cast register
Speaker 3: at the first window.
Speaker 1: That's a good question. That's a good question. But they
Speaker 1: say that the Windy drive through Wendy's drive throughs in
Speaker 1: the United States in the coming month. The decision has
Speaker 1: been made by corporate because of a labor shortage at
Speaker 1: Windy's and the first test location where chatbots will be
Speaker 1: deployed is Windy's in Columbus, Columbus, Ohio. That is the home,
Speaker 1: the birthplace of Windy's, and the CEO says AI chatbots
Speaker 1: are a huge opportunity for us to deliver a truly
Speaker 1: a differential, faster and frictionless experience to our customers, which
Speaker 1: is to say, let me, let me use like seven
Speaker 1: big words and then all sound really smart and people
Speaker 1: will love it.
Speaker 4: And what the hell frictionless?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't even know what that sounds like.
Speaker 4: That guy's sex life.
Speaker 1: Hello. Wendy's collaborated with Google to create customized, the customized
Speaker 1: chat box, and the language model. I don't know, eh,
Speaker 1: there you go. They say that the chat box will
Speaker 1: have a female voice. It has been programmed to understand
Speaker 1: requested items that aren't phrased exactly as they appear on
Speaker 1: the menu.
Speaker 3: Wouldn't it be great if it sounded like Tammy and Montana, Yeah,
Speaker 3: salt become or Genie come on in man?
Speaker 1: Hey? Yeah, Hey, can I get a milkshake?
Speaker 4: You know, have you heard about redheads?
Speaker 1: I don't want to frosty, I want a milkshake. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right. So that's first scientifical story. Here's an interesting
Speaker 1: story from Dubai. A lot of people who love the
Speaker 1: ocean are freaking out. They're saying, what's going on to
Speaker 1: the ocean? All the reefs are going away and all
Speaker 1: this stuff. So an artificial reef is being built in
Speaker 1: Dubai that will have one billion chorls, one billion corals.
Speaker 1: They are they're going big. I've never been d Dubaio,
Speaker 1: Like they never get there, but they do go big,
Speaker 1: seventy seven square miles. They're calling it a floating living
Speaker 1: lab that is being built, complete with the billion corals,
Speaker 1: a luxury eco lodge. So there's you can stay at
Speaker 1: this thing. So, oh, here's why they're doing That's why they're.
Speaker 4: Doing it, Danny the resort.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's like it's man made. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: all these fish there, and so we'll put all this coral.
Speaker 1: We're gonna make all this you know, coral, and then
Speaker 1: people will want to come there because there'll be all
Speaker 1: these exotic fish and it's a luxury resort.
Speaker 3: How about some mechanical sharks while they're at it, that'd
Speaker 3: be cool. And then you could rent the remote control
Speaker 3: boxes to people. Yeah, why not have a joystick and
Speaker 3: you could chase people in the water with your shark.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh, here's the people at Hyundai have created. Ah,
Speaker 1: there's a there's a video going around. I saw this
Speaker 1: this week. It's a science story. An electric car that
Speaker 1: is able to drive sideways. Yeah, they're working on the
Speaker 1: tech on this that would let anyone parallel park. So
Speaker 1: the company has added motors to all four wheels, allowing
Speaker 1: them to turn sideways. Man, Okay, so you can turn
Speaker 1: wheels ninety degrees and they call it the crab walk.
Speaker 1: You can do the crab walk. Okay, I don't know
Speaker 1: how long that's going to take to get to the market.
Speaker 1: But what the hell you ever wondered what human meat
Speaker 1: tastes like? Danny, what you know you're not going full
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Dahmer on you know the road, You get a
Speaker 1: little flesh. You've met, all you've eaten, all the human
Speaker 1: flesh you want, which is none like you.
Speaker 4: I like my meat cooked medium, Well.
Speaker 1: Yes, cut that meat. This is let's get scientifical scientists
Speaker 1: have discovered, or they claim they know, what human meat
Speaker 1: tastes like, and they have revealed the different flavors of
Speaker 1: the human meat. They say eating part an influence. Of
Speaker 1: course it's an influencer. Ate her meniscus, she had it
Speaker 1: removed during surgery, and so she ate her meniscus and
Speaker 1: she said it, well, she she ate part of her
Speaker 1: own knee in a spaghetti. So she put it in
Speaker 1: a little spaghetti and she said it was like flavors flavorless.
Speaker 1: There you go. Somebody else compared it to veal in
Speaker 1: the story, So there you go. I think I'm aout
Speaker 1: right although I do bite my fingernails sometimes when I
Speaker 1: get nervous, which is kind of like human not human flesh.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so this one's sent in by our friend
Speaker 1: Alf the Alien Opineer says scientists that discovered a new
Speaker 1: species of blind snake in a Brazilian river that looks
Speaker 1: just like part of the human anatomy. This is the
Speaker 1: second or third consecutive week we've had one of these stories.
Speaker 1: He's long. Everywhere. Every week there's one of these stories.
Speaker 1: I guess there's only so many things that there's so
Speaker 1: many shapes out there on the planet Earth, and so
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that look like junk, and
Speaker 1: this would be another one. So I'm gonna add that
Speaker 1: to the list. A blind snake in a Brazilian river
Speaker 1: looking like you're junk. So well, maybe maybe not you're junk,
Speaker 1: but maybe somebody else's depending on your junk. It's really up.
Speaker 1: You'd have to be the the person that knows what
Speaker 1: you what you look like there. So there is that.
Speaker 1: I will get out on that. Anything you want to
Speaker 1: promote Danny on a Saturday Saturday, Saturday Saturday.

Speaker 1: one listens to. We do not want to be that
Speaker 1: type of podcast.
