0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:05.400
<v Speaker 2>If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.160
<v Speaker 2>a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.480
<v Speaker 2>of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 2>treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 2>rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.280
<v Speaker 2>The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.

0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:30.640

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:40.240
<v Speaker 1>g Radio. Happy Sunday to you, the twenty eighth day

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:43.920
<v Speaker 1>of the month of July, the final Sunday of July,

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:49.760
<v Speaker 1>and a very important day today because later tonight this

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 1>night will be different than all other nights on the

0:00:52.400 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Overnight Show. It is the return of the Malor PALOOZAO.

0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.480
<v Speaker 3>Nice graphics on that. By the way, who did that?

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 1>My friend Jay actually did that. He put that together

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:10.959
<v Speaker 1>for him. Shout out to I want to thank Jay.

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>But the elephant standing on a ball not the kind

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:20.320
<v Speaker 1>of balls I like. So if you've never heard the

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:23.319
<v Speaker 1>Mallard Palooza, it is a stable. Normally we do it

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 1>on the All Star Break of baseball. But I was

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 1>out of town, so we couldn't do it then. And

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:29.840
<v Speaker 1>this is the This is the night, This is the night.

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:37.480
<v Speaker 1>It is a combination talent show, variety show, freak shows,

0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:41.680
<v Speaker 1>side show. It's if you're old enough. There used to

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 1>be this guy named David Letterman who was very popular

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:45.919
<v Speaker 1>on television when I was a kid. He did these things.

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 1>He did stupid ted tricks and stupid human tricks. Who

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>nice going CBS. Yeah, I don't I don't know what

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>happened to him, but this is a form of stupid

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 1>human tricks. It's like a circus side show. And we

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>have people that will call up and do poetry and

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>doing personations and sing and all that, and very excited

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.640
<v Speaker 1>about this. Inca Terror is going to be back as

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 1>one of our celebrity He is our main celebrity judge.

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>He's a classically trained musician from New York and we

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:24.799
<v Speaker 1>love Inka Terror. We get to see him. He will

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.079
<v Speaker 1>not be in studio we have had him in studio,

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 1>but he will be hanging out with us and we're

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna have a great time. And so it's kind of

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 1>like the demolition Derby of talent shows. Well, I don't

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>know if they will have a human torpedo or who knows,

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.640
<v Speaker 1>but that's tonight, so we're looking forward to it. Hopefully

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.679
<v Speaker 1>you'll enjoy it, but we'll be there. And if you

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>want to be in on that, you know you want

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 1>to lay on a bed of nails. That doesn't really

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:53.640
<v Speaker 1>work for radio? What else beer? Remember that the bee

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 1>bearding person that used to be big in the freak

0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:59.399
<v Speaker 1>shows back in the day, Like, these acts won't really work.

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Glass walking won't work, human blockhead probably not so much.

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Fire breathing wouldn't really work on radio. But anyway, we'll

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.400
<v Speaker 1>have all that coming up for you tonight on the

0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 1>mallor Palosa. We'll get to the mail back in a second.

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 1>There was a couple other stories we didn't get to

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>yesterday from pop Goes to culture, so I wanted to

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:19.359
<v Speaker 1>get to some of those, Danny, because there's some good

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>stuff this week, and I thought, well why not? Why not?

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:27.359
<v Speaker 1>This relates to last weekend with Alex the vegan who

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 1>went full conspiracy theory guy. The scientists have detected a

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 1>very odd source of electricity at the very bottom of

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 1>the ocean. Do do Do Do Do Do Do Do

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do do doo.

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 3>It was a family of tritons.

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>I consider myself a reasonable moment the kraken released the cracking. No,

0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 1>it's for a long time the belief men that organisms

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 1>like plants and algae have that they are producers, the

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 1>original producers of aucyen. Well, now researchers have discovered evidence

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 1>of a natural O two factory that needs neither the

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 1>sun nor the life forms to harness its power o MG.

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 1>The source is a chemical reaction taking place in rocks

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:33.800
<v Speaker 1>lying on the very bottom part the lightest of the

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:37.359
<v Speaker 1>sea floor, thousands of feet below the service there's no

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:41.719
<v Speaker 1>light there of the Pacific Ocean and releasing what the

0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 1>researchers have dubbed dark oxygen Man. These findings recently published

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 1>in a science journal, and it is destroying the long

0:04:54.920 --> 0:05:00.719
<v Speaker 1>standing belief, the assumption about how oxygen first came a

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 1>thing in the Earth's atmosphere, and the science community is

0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 1>saying this is gonna have drastic implications on the origins

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:13.200
<v Speaker 1>of life on the planet. But that one very bottom

0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.480
<v Speaker 1>of the Pacific because back to our conspiracy that the

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 1>UFOs were seeing were actually at the bottom of the ocean.

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 3>What a weekend man flying cars And now this.

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 1>These are crazy times. Man China detected water in samples

0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.919
<v Speaker 1>that collected from the moon. There's water on the moon.

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 3>The only crazier thing I've seen recently were the fake

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:38.839
<v Speaker 3>cans on Biden during that space Did you see that

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 3>the young hands with no ring I were saying that movie, Dave,

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.039
<v Speaker 3>remember where the real president of the USA was in

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.640
<v Speaker 3>a coma, so they had to look alike play the part.

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.719
<v Speaker 1>I get it, America, I'm tired. Let make al Pacino

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:55.719
<v Speaker 1>look like Timothy fucking shallow. Man X told me that

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.240
<v Speaker 1>he was dead. I read that on X the other day,

0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:00.160
<v Speaker 1>and then he showed up. But then the other thing

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I saw was he actually recorded that. Whoever did that

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>recorded it two hours earlier because his watch was set.

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:08.960
<v Speaker 1>They didn't change his watch. His watch was set two

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:10.119
<v Speaker 1>hours earlier at the White House.

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh so, lots of conspiracies.

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't know whatever the fuck that means. Well,

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I like this story. Amazon spent billions of dollars to

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.600
<v Speaker 1>put together Alexa. Do you use Alexa?

0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:25.760
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:29.800
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't either. But the whole point of it was, Hey,

0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.480
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna build this thing. And this is ten years ago.

0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:38.480
<v Speaker 1>They launched it, and they envisioned that the voice assist Alexa,

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:43.279
<v Speaker 1>which is a home device, would sell more products and

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 1>they would make so much money because people say, hey, Alexa,

0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.840
<v Speaker 1>buy me donuts or something, right, and they'd be okay. Well,

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 1>it turns out that this is according to the Wall

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Street Journal. I saw this the other day, the people

0:06:55.360 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 1>that actually use Alexa have mostly ended up using it

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:05.040
<v Speaker 1>to do simple tasks like check the time or sit

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:05.640
<v Speaker 1>an alarm.

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:07.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, turn the lights on or off.

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. And apparently this is freaking out the people that

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 1>work at Amazon because they spent billions of dollars thinking

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>they were going to get return on investment.

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 3>Oops.

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 1>And he said that this is from a source at Amazon.

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 1>When they first launched, they said, we were we give

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:27.680
<v Speaker 1>you the exact quote here because it's a good quote.

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I want to give you the exac quote. I don't

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 1>give you a fake quote. We worried. We've hired ten

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:36.640
<v Speaker 1>thousand people and we've built a smart timer. A senior,

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.760
<v Speaker 1>former senior Amazon employee said that that's all they did,

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:45.960
<v Speaker 1>and internal documents flame Amazon squandered tens of billions of

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 1>dollars on these devices.

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. This is like a stripper who only wants to

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 3>do missionary.

0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.560
<v Speaker 1>You're like, hey, I'm not getting my money's with But

0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:03.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventeen, twenty twenty one alone, Amazon lost more than

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:08.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty five billion on Alexa because people are just using

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:12.680
<v Speaker 1>it for the time. Oh, it's so great. Humans are

0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:16.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna human, Danny. Humans are humans are rather simple creatures.

0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 1>They're just gonna do what they normally do, right, That's

0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 1>just the way it goes. A couple of lab stories

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 1>that got my attention. Scientists have grown male genitalia in

0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 1>a lab. They've grown balls in a lab. Say what,

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 1>yeah about that? I was attracted to the giant metal cock.

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, you know I can grow to me. Male

0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.280
<v Speaker 1>fertility is in crisis, and unless we do something about it,

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 1>the human race is going to be a total mess.

0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 1>One expert has worn following the news that they have

0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:53.680
<v Speaker 1>grown male gendles in a lab, and they're of course

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:57.080
<v Speaker 1>worried this could make us, you know, obsolete, Danny, that

0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 1>we don't you know, women will not need are jump

0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 1>because they have this. Israeli scientists producing the gendles from

0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:10.440
<v Speaker 1>the cells extracted from mice. But the woman has said

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:12.840
<v Speaker 1>she hopes to be able to produce human versions within

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:20.440
<v Speaker 1>five years that could produce sperm. That's like, that's some

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 1>interesting moral ground there, right, Danny. If a pair of

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:32.559
<v Speaker 1>science generated testicles creates sperm and you're the kid of

0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:37.600
<v Speaker 1>that sperm, what are you? Oh boy, are you human?

0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean they say it's some human DNA, but how

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.760
<v Speaker 1>do you know. I'm sure there's some other stuff mixed

0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 1>in there, like hot dogs, right, so you can.

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 3>Be part weenie Weenie in the butt in the afternoon.

0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly, exactly. They've also grown brains in labs, so

0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:03.640
<v Speaker 1>they've got that going on. We are living in wild times.

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 1>They We've got the Jetson's Law in Minnesota flying cars,

0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:12.160
<v Speaker 1>We've got testicles being grown in a lab and brains

0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:17.440
<v Speaker 1>sciences growing brains in labs. Could they become conscious? It

0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 1>has no eyes, ears, nose, or mouth. Nothing's coming in

0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:29.240
<v Speaker 1>at this point, but stay tuned to lab grown brains.

0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 1>This is being done at the University of California at

0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Santa Barbara. A neuroscientist there is behind this and they

0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:44.840
<v Speaker 1>claim they have created a facsimile of the brain made

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 1>in labs there, and they say they aren't likely to

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:55.079
<v Speaker 1>achieve consciousness anytime soon. But you never know. Let's get

0:10:55.080 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 1>to the mail bag. It's thank you, ohio. Al appreciate

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 1>that these are actual email correspondence, so I'm actually listening

0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.880
<v Speaker 1>to actual listeners to the show. This one comes from Alf.

0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.240
<v Speaker 1>ALF dreaming of a Mallar meet and greet, writes, and

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.360
<v Speaker 1>he says, Hey, Ben, since you and the Bennetts are

0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:41.680
<v Speaker 1>so tight, who will be driving the Mallard shuttlebus to

0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Vegas for the meet and greet on Saturday? Or will

0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:52.000
<v Speaker 1>you be taking turns? Yeah? What's that old line about

0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:56.679
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen eighties Yankees? You remember? Remember the line there

0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.360
<v Speaker 1>about the Yankees back in the back in the day

0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:04.800
<v Speaker 1>they had was it twenty five players, twenty five taxicabs?

0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Believe that was it something like that.

0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.960
<v Speaker 3>Didn't Billy Martin die in a car accident? Well he

0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:14.600
<v Speaker 3>was I think drunk when Oh boy, So I feel

0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:18.240
<v Speaker 3>like Coop would be the most responsible driver, because, as

0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:21.040
<v Speaker 3>you know, when you smoke weed, it helps you concentrate

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 3>on the road.

0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay, is that true? I always says, don't smoke and drive.

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:29.679
<v Speaker 3>I thought he helped you concentrate.

0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.719
<v Speaker 1>Twenty five players twenty five cabs. It was about the

0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Yankees and the Red Sox. That line was used about

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the dysfunctional Red Sox and Yankees. There you go. Now

0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.679
<v Speaker 1>would be twenty five players, twenty five ubers. You'd have

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.920
<v Speaker 1>to get rid of the taxi cab thing because it's

0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:48.200
<v Speaker 1>an uber world. And Alf also says, after the Vegan

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:52.520
<v Speaker 1>burned down the studio last week, what conspiracy theory does

0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Danny G have his strongest opinion on, possibly the frozen

0:12:56.480 --> 0:13:02.680
<v Speaker 1>envelope during the NBA Draft. My favorite sports conspiracy theory off,

0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.960
<v Speaker 1>not that you asked me, is the cal Ripken lights

0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:06.880
<v Speaker 1>out in Baltimore.

0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh, the Kevin Costner game.

0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, he got to a fight Kevin Costner, I

0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 1>guess came came in and owed caught. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:19.560
<v Speaker 1>he caught Kevin Costner with his That actually played out

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:23.240
<v Speaker 1>on Fox Sports Radio. Kevin Costner called in the Fox

0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio years ago on the old Kylie and Boom

0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Show because they were talking about it. I've always believed

0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:33.280
<v Speaker 1>it because here's why I was covering baseball at the time,

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:37.600
<v Speaker 1>and that game got postponed because the power was out

0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:41.439
<v Speaker 1>at Camden Yards. Way back many years ago, cal was

0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.679
<v Speaker 1>on track to set the all time games played record.

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:45.480
<v Speaker 1>It was a very big record for baseball, and this

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.199
<v Speaker 1>was after the work strike in nineteen ninety four, the

0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:51.480
<v Speaker 1>labor strike, and so it's a very big deal. But

0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:55.760
<v Speaker 1>before the story came out the night the night this happened,

0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 1>I was covering a Dodger game and a buddy of

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.320
<v Speaker 1>mine came up to me. He says, hey, I just

0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 1>talked to somebody who knows Peter Angelos, right, and the

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:07.840
<v Speaker 1>guy told me. He said that something happened with with

0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Ripkin and Kevin Coster, and that they made sure that

0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 1>the game. Ripkin would not have played. He was too

0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 1>distraught from what happened, so he would not have played

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.440
<v Speaker 1>in the game that night, and it would have ended

0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 1>his streak. He was unable to play, not necessarily because

0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 1>he was hurt, but just because he was too messed

0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.520
<v Speaker 1>up in the head. And so as a result, the

0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Orioles made sure that the game was postponed. So they

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.720
<v Speaker 1>cooked up the power outage story. Yeah, what do you

0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:39.800
<v Speaker 1>think about the oil that I heard it before it

0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:43.200
<v Speaker 1>became a thing. So because of that, I'm like, okay,

0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:43.920
<v Speaker 1>I buy it.

0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.920
<v Speaker 3>And Ben, I know somebody who worked for the White

0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:50.240
<v Speaker 3>Sox back in the day. This guy swears up and

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:54.560
<v Speaker 3>down that Michael Jordan's first retirement was a secret suspension

0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:55.240
<v Speaker 3>for gambling.

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, no, I believe that too. Yeah, that it

0:14:57.880 --> 0:14:59.640
<v Speaker 1>was a double secret thing. They didn't want to they

0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't to ruin the legacy of Jordan. So David Stern

0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:04.920
<v Speaker 1>did a ma solid But David Stern was a hard ass.

0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:07.440
<v Speaker 1>And the old commissioner of the NBA actually have a

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:09.120
<v Speaker 1>great David Stern story that I don't have time to

0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:14.400
<v Speaker 1>get to right now. But Stern, he's like, all right, well,

0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:16.920
<v Speaker 1>you've been hanging out, you've been associating with gamblers, and

0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:20.280
<v Speaker 1>at that time that was very taboo, and Stern was

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.480
<v Speaker 1>a pretty straight laced guy. And so he's like, all right,

0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.720
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna go play for Jerry Reinstorf's minor league baseball

0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:28.080
<v Speaker 1>team and we'll put you in the White Sox spring

0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:31.880
<v Speaker 1>training and all that and chill out and then you

0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:35.160
<v Speaker 1>can come back after your suspension is over. And to no,

0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:38.120
<v Speaker 1>that's exactly what happened. So I buy that one, the

0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.600
<v Speaker 1>ewing frozen envelope. I buy that all. There's a lot

0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 1>of sports conspiracies that I that I'm all in on.

0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:47.120
<v Speaker 3>For yure think let's talk JFK. Now we did that

0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:47.600
<v Speaker 3>last week.

0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Mike in Fullerton writes, and he says, Hey, Ben, welcome

0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.160
<v Speaker 1>back to Danny g. First thing, first, you both owe

0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:59.280
<v Speaker 1>me an apology. I'm one of the thirty four percent

0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:02.960
<v Speaker 1>of people who needs a recipe to make toast, and

0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I didn't appreciate being called an idiot two weeks ago. Sorry,

0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm not an expert chef like Ben. Yeah, okay, he says,

0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:14.400
<v Speaker 1>do you guys, do you guys believe in the conspiracy?

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Here we go, get boy, do you guys?

0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.800
<v Speaker 3>Let me ask you first though, was this at least

0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:23.200
<v Speaker 3>for cinnamon toast? Because it was just it was just toast,

0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:27.160
<v Speaker 3>just regular old toast. Yeah, just toast, man, at least

0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:28.400
<v Speaker 3>you know cinnamon toast.

0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Come on? Do you do you butter the toast before?

0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 3>Or do you butter this cinnamon go on first?

0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Or what do you do? I don't know. Mike says,

0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:40.280
<v Speaker 1>do you guys believe in the conspiracy theory that birds

0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.880
<v Speaker 1>aren't real? And are actually just drones used to spy

0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:46.120
<v Speaker 1>on us. It sounds crazy to me, but my friend

0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Alex is convinced as true.

0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.160
<v Speaker 3>Jesus, when did this turn into the Coast to Coast

0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:52.400
<v Speaker 3>George podcast?

0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:54.960
<v Speaker 1>I said on one of the podcasts last week. I

0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:56.520
<v Speaker 1>think it was Saturday, I said, this is going to

0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:58.480
<v Speaker 1>be my demo tape to Coast to Coast when I

0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.920
<v Speaker 1>fill in for George Norri. It was like Coast to

0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Coast meets Alex Jones and Info Wars is what it was. Wild.

0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:13.600
<v Speaker 1>It was craziness. Thank you, Thank you. Mike Barry, I

0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 1>met very good guys South Carolina. He was at the

0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Charleston meet and greet we did a couple months back.

0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:21.800
<v Speaker 1>He says, Yo, yo ma, Benny. Listen to the Alex

0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:25.680
<v Speaker 1>version of the Fifth Hour. Wow, he is out there.

0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Some people think I'm nuts, but got me to thinking

0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:34.240
<v Speaker 1>after watching an Unsolved Mysteries episode on Netflix. Make sure

0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.280
<v Speaker 1>you watch my show, Barry. I'm on a show on

0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.199
<v Speaker 1>Netflix we talked about in a previous podcast here. I

0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:40.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't know I was on the show, but I am.

0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:48.320
<v Speaker 1>He says. They postulate that these skinwalkers, Locknest, Monster, Bigfoot, etc.

0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Are never found because the UFOs drop them off and

0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:55.440
<v Speaker 1>then come back in a few weeks and take them

0:17:55.480 --> 0:18:02.040
<v Speaker 1>back wherever they go. Barry says, I bet Alex is

0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:08.120
<v Speaker 1>all on board with that. What about you? Alien abduction

0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:10.400
<v Speaker 1>has fascinated people worldwide.

0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I like hearing, you know. That's why I listened

0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:17.439
<v Speaker 3>to George Norri. Sometimes there's at least ten minutes of

0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:20.480
<v Speaker 3>the week where I can listen to conspiracy theories. But

0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:22.920
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't listen to that every day. It would drive

0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:23.439
<v Speaker 3>me nuts.

0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm working with Nori's on, but I listened to

0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Coast to Coast on the weekend. Sometimes if I'm up late,

0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:32.119
<v Speaker 1>i'm driving around, I'll off Coast to Coast on or

0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:35.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, back in the day, you know, Alex Jones.

0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I'll see some videos online, not anymore really, but I'll

0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:42.600
<v Speaker 1>check it out. Whatever. Yeah, you gotta be you can't

0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:44.520
<v Speaker 1>just believe everything you hear, though, You've got to be

0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:48.920
<v Speaker 1>somewhat judgmental. Right, If you're gullible, it's a problem and

0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:51.359
<v Speaker 1>a lot of there's a lot of goble people, global people.

0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Ohio Al writes in not ohio Al, He's not gullible, No, no, no, no,

0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:00.320
<v Speaker 1>he's upset, He says, Benny, he wrote an all apps,

0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:05.280
<v Speaker 1>please do not invite that total idiot on your podcast again.

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:10.719
<v Speaker 1>I would much rather hear you bloviating by yourself and

0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:14.760
<v Speaker 1>get some nameless, faceless engineer to produce and upload the podcast. Wow,

0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:20.720
<v Speaker 1>undersea civilizations and chemtrail conspiracies are bad enough. By the way,

0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Ohio says, I'm an aerospace engineer specializing in combustion, and

0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:30.480
<v Speaker 1>water is one of the main byproducts of jet engine combustion.

0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:34.159
<v Speaker 1>So the trails you see behind every jet in the

0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:39.760
<v Speaker 1>sky merely condensed water droplets, i e. A cloud. Then,

0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:41.840
<v Speaker 1>he says, but when and then he rips tyshert here

0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:45.400
<v Speaker 1>calls him some names. When he claimed that Trump staged

0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:50.679
<v Speaker 1>the assassination, yeah, he went there. No, No, yeah, you

0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:56.040
<v Speaker 1>must I thought I was. I thought something weird, as

0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I told him a couple times, is everything okay? Or

0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:02.960
<v Speaker 1>but yeah? So anyway, Ohio says, when that blankety blank

0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:06.719
<v Speaker 1>ty shirt claimed that Trump staged the assassination attempt so

0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:09.280
<v Speaker 1>he could look good, what the f he wrote in

0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:12.560
<v Speaker 1>all caps? Did he also get the dead firemen to

0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:15.280
<v Speaker 1>volunteer to get killed by a stray bullet so Trump

0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:15.960
<v Speaker 1>could look good.

0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:17.120
<v Speaker 2>Stupid.

0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:20.560
<v Speaker 3>First thing I thought when I saw all the conspiracy

0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:24.080
<v Speaker 3>theorists all over social media that Saturday.

0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:24.800
<v Speaker 1>Stupid people.

0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:29.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's like, OK, if nobody had died, then I

0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:34.280
<v Speaker 3>could see conspiracy theorists coming out saying it was a stunt,

0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.680
<v Speaker 3>it was planned, it was set up, but somebody died

0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:39.680
<v Speaker 3>and then somebody got severely injured.

0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Right. Well, the other thing I know about President Trump

0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:46.560
<v Speaker 1>is and you've talked to him, Danny, so you're better

0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:48.360
<v Speaker 1>friends with him than I am. He didn't know who

0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:50.119
<v Speaker 1>I am, but you know you've talked to him on

0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:53.800
<v Speaker 1>the phone. Last question, did you tell my producer, Danny

0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:57.520
<v Speaker 1>g that he deserved a raise when you called last time? Absolutely?

0:20:57.560 --> 0:21:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I said, you got the president, but you really do. Yeah,

0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:01.680
<v Speaker 1>a great show and he's a nice guy.

0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:03.960
<v Speaker 2>But I said, you get the president of the phone,

0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:04.960
<v Speaker 2>you deserve a race.

0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:08.720
<v Speaker 1>I haven't done too many of these calls lately. Trump

0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 1>is not a good actor like they write these. I've

0:21:11.280 --> 0:21:13.520
<v Speaker 1>heard stories from people that have worked in that worked

0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:17.359
<v Speaker 1>with his administration. They'll write the speeches for him and

0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:20.480
<v Speaker 1>he'll in the middle of speech do improv. Yeah, he'll

0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:22.480
<v Speaker 1>go he'll he'll just go off.

0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Unted people that don't have a clue, they're incompetent.

0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he'll start out doing it and then he'll start

0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:32.919
<v Speaker 1>add limbing and adding his own thing. And so the

0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:35.880
<v Speaker 1>idea that Trump would follow a scripts like, Okay, we're

0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:38.640
<v Speaker 1>going to shoot the bullet and then you're not even

0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:41.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna get hit. Just make sure you hit this blood packet.

0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:42.840
<v Speaker 1>We'll put it behind your ear. No one will know

0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:44.879
<v Speaker 1>it's there. Hit it. It'll look like you're bleeding.

0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:47.400
<v Speaker 3>And then was there an air piece in and they're like, okay,

0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:50.320
<v Speaker 3>slightly tilt your head now, yeah, come.

0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:56.840
<v Speaker 1>On, I mean uh. Ohio then continues to rip the

0:21:56.960 --> 0:22:02.920
<v Speaker 1>blankety blank. He says, Tyshert gives California the rightfully earned

0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:06.320
<v Speaker 1>nicknamed Land of the Fruits and the Nuts. All right, wow,

0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:11.840
<v Speaker 1>no moss, he says, respectfully. Ohio, Al, calm down. I

0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:13.320
<v Speaker 1>love you, Al, you're a big part of this. We

0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:15.760
<v Speaker 1>think you're wonderful. We love I mean, play all your

0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:19.480
<v Speaker 1>stuff on this podcast on the radio show. But Alex

0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:21.680
<v Speaker 1>a good guy. He's a little out there, A little

0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:25.600
<v Speaker 1>out there. Yeah, he means well, he means well, he's

0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:27.080
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure he's a young guy. He's trying to

0:22:27.080 --> 0:22:28.560
<v Speaker 1>figure the way I look at Alex, he's a young

0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:30.440
<v Speaker 1>guy's trying to figure out what's real and what's fake

0:22:30.480 --> 0:22:32.760
<v Speaker 1>in the world. And he's gone off on some real

0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:34.000
<v Speaker 1>big tangents.

0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:36.000
<v Speaker 3>And just consider it audio variety.

0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's we don't want boring, right, you know when

0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:41.000
<v Speaker 1>you do a podcast, you don't want to be boring.

0:22:41.760 --> 0:22:43.200
<v Speaker 1>You want to you want to be good, you want

0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:46.080
<v Speaker 1>to be interesting. And we've gotten more I'll tell you this.

0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:50.040
<v Speaker 1>We've gotten more feedback from from Tyshirt being on the

0:22:50.080 --> 0:22:52.560
<v Speaker 1>podcast than a lot of the stuff that we normally do.

0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:55.520
<v Speaker 1>So maybe we should talk more about weird crap like that.

0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:56.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:22:56.960 --> 0:23:00.919
<v Speaker 3>The thing is, though, you can't fake crazy. I'm not

0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:04.560
<v Speaker 3>calling him crazy, but like crazy takes, you can't fake that,

0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:07.600
<v Speaker 3>and you can't do it every weekend because the act

0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:09.119
<v Speaker 3>would get old really quick.

0:23:09.960 --> 0:23:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for sure, for sure. Next up is Roman from Miami,

0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:19.000
<v Speaker 1>a Nubie Nubi nuby Doobi. He says, I'm a long

0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:21.399
<v Speaker 1>time listening to the Ben mal Show and the Fifth

0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Hour podcast. I also fit into the younger demo. Thank god. Yeah,

0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:31.199
<v Speaker 1>we need your Roman, We need your man. Get your

0:23:31.200 --> 0:23:33.879
<v Speaker 1>friends to listen, get them off the anime, Come on,

0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:36.240
<v Speaker 1>get them off the video games. He says, Ben, do

0:23:36.320 --> 0:23:39.159
<v Speaker 1>you have any financial tips that you can give to

0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:44.439
<v Speaker 1>your fellow penny pinchers. One I could find. One I

0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:46.879
<v Speaker 1>could think of is to never pay full price unless

0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:49.320
<v Speaker 1>you have to. Also, a friend of mine told me

0:23:49.359 --> 0:23:53.119
<v Speaker 1>that if you're trying to buy something from Walmart and

0:23:53.160 --> 0:23:56.000
<v Speaker 1>the package is damaged, and if you ask nicely enough,

0:23:56.000 --> 0:23:58.879
<v Speaker 1>they will let me give you a discount on the item,

0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:02.600
<v Speaker 1>coupon and apps often give discounts, which is why I

0:24:02.640 --> 0:24:06.640
<v Speaker 1>have every fast food app downloaded on my phone. Unfortunately

0:24:06.640 --> 0:24:10.840
<v Speaker 1>for me, though, he says, I have, I've saved an

0:24:10.880 --> 0:24:14.760
<v Speaker 1>okay amount. I find it hard to spend spend it

0:24:14.800 --> 0:24:19.760
<v Speaker 1>on things I enjoy, so roman a couple of things,

0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:23.000
<v Speaker 1>I would advise you to not ever buy a new car,

0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:26.760
<v Speaker 1>buy a pre owned car because the value of cars

0:24:26.760 --> 0:24:30.240
<v Speaker 1>goes down right away. I will never buy another new

0:24:30.280 --> 0:24:32.360
<v Speaker 1>car again. Even though I could probably afford to buy

0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:33.800
<v Speaker 1>a new car. Well, I don't know if I could.

0:24:33.800 --> 0:24:36.800
<v Speaker 1>These new cars are like seventy eighty thousand now, a

0:24:36.840 --> 0:24:38.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of them. I don't know that I could. But

0:24:39.000 --> 0:24:41.239
<v Speaker 1>pre owned cars the way to go on that, ye,

0:24:41.400 --> 0:24:43.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. If you assume you're driving and then

0:24:44.320 --> 0:24:48.440
<v Speaker 1>saving money, I would try to I would try to diversify.

0:24:48.480 --> 0:24:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you're if you're a young enough guy. What's

0:24:51.560 --> 0:24:52.919
<v Speaker 1>that thing when I was in high school? If you

0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:56.760
<v Speaker 1>invest it? Is it? What? What investment fund can you

0:24:56.840 --> 0:24:58.880
<v Speaker 1>invest in? If you if you keep putting money in,

0:24:59.320 --> 0:25:03.240
<v Speaker 1>by the time you're forty, you'll have like millions of dollars.

0:25:03.600 --> 0:25:06.040
<v Speaker 1>What is that called? I forget what the name of

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:06.280
<v Speaker 1>it is.

0:25:06.280 --> 0:25:09.280
<v Speaker 3>I'll have to Yeah, while you look that up, I'll

0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:12.600
<v Speaker 3>tell him about the twenty rule that my uncle always

0:25:12.720 --> 0:25:17.000
<v Speaker 3>raves about, the fifty to thirty twenty rule. It's fifty

0:25:17.040 --> 0:25:19.919
<v Speaker 3>percent of your money should go towards your needs, thirty

0:25:19.960 --> 0:25:23.119
<v Speaker 3>percent should go towards the things you want so you're wants,

0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:27.440
<v Speaker 3>and twenty percent towards savings. It's always a good rule

0:25:27.440 --> 0:25:30.520
<v Speaker 3>of thumb according to my uncle. But he does drive

0:25:30.560 --> 0:25:33.159
<v Speaker 3>a Bentley and he lives in the Silicon Valley, So

0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:35.960
<v Speaker 3>I do listen to him sometimes when he talks money.

0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that sounds that sounds good, but it says.

0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:41.240
<v Speaker 3>Fifty to thirty twenty.

0:25:41.880 --> 0:25:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Like, as a young person, if you can get into

0:25:45.800 --> 0:25:50.480
<v Speaker 1>a high yield savings account, and you're gonna have to

0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:53.600
<v Speaker 1>shop around. I think IRA. When I was younger, it

0:25:53.640 --> 0:25:58.000
<v Speaker 1>was IRA's. But there's other stuff now and now be

0:25:58.080 --> 0:26:01.479
<v Speaker 1>careful with I have use some of those. I use

0:26:01.560 --> 0:26:04.560
<v Speaker 1>one of the apps. I have a stock app, and

0:26:05.119 --> 0:26:07.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, you play around like a video game. You're

0:26:07.320 --> 0:26:09.719
<v Speaker 1>buying stock, right, You're gambling. Every day is gonna go up,

0:26:09.720 --> 0:26:13.360
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna go down. But I got burned the first

0:26:13.960 --> 0:26:19.560
<v Speaker 1>year I used the app because I didn't realize that

0:26:19.600 --> 0:26:22.040
<v Speaker 1>when you make money at the end of the year,

0:26:22.080 --> 0:26:26.520
<v Speaker 1>you have to pay capital gains tax. This was because

0:26:26.520 --> 0:26:28.679
<v Speaker 1>I never really messed around with the stock market, and

0:26:28.720 --> 0:26:31.399
<v Speaker 1>so I was like, holy crap, Like I made a

0:26:31.440 --> 0:26:33.840
<v Speaker 1>fair money money, but I got to pay it in taxes.

0:26:35.359 --> 0:26:39.679
<v Speaker 1>So that killed me. So after that I stopped. I

0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:42.080
<v Speaker 1>stopped playing. Now I still have some stocks. In fact,

0:26:42.080 --> 0:26:46.000
<v Speaker 1>here's the here's the kicker, all right, So I Roman I.

0:26:46.600 --> 0:26:49.879
<v Speaker 1>This is like probably three or four years ago, hearing COVID.

0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:51.800
<v Speaker 1>I was I was fudging around with these one of

0:26:51.840 --> 0:26:54.439
<v Speaker 1>these apps where you buy stock. So I bought some

0:26:54.520 --> 0:26:56.280
<v Speaker 1>stock and it was just you know, extra money. It

0:26:56.359 --> 0:26:58.120
<v Speaker 1>was like my gambling money. There was nothing to bet

0:26:58.160 --> 0:27:00.879
<v Speaker 1>on because there were no games, and COVID Danny there

0:27:00.880 --> 0:27:03.520
<v Speaker 1>were no games for like one hundred something days was

0:27:03.560 --> 0:27:03.960
<v Speaker 1>shut down.

0:27:04.000 --> 0:27:06.320
<v Speaker 3>So I got very strangely, our ratings went up at

0:27:06.320 --> 0:27:07.320
<v Speaker 3>a sports network.

0:27:08.080 --> 0:27:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we had the highest listenership we've ever had, which

0:27:10.960 --> 0:27:14.520
<v Speaker 1>makes no sense. So during that I started getting my

0:27:14.600 --> 0:27:20.240
<v Speaker 1>gambling fix on the stock market. And so during that time,

0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:24.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm doing my thing whatever. And then at

0:27:24.280 --> 0:27:26.640
<v Speaker 1>the end of the year, I send all the information

0:27:26.760 --> 0:27:31.959
<v Speaker 1>over to the person that does my taxes and they're like, well,

0:27:32.000 --> 0:27:34.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, you made this amount of money. Even though

0:27:34.280 --> 0:27:37.480
<v Speaker 1>you reinvested the money in other stocks, it doesn't matter.

0:27:38.480 --> 0:27:41.320
<v Speaker 1>You still got to pay taxes on it. It's called the

0:27:41.359 --> 0:27:43.800
<v Speaker 1>capitol capital games. I'm like, oh crap, what are you

0:27:43.840 --> 0:27:44.440
<v Speaker 1>talking about.

0:27:45.400 --> 0:27:49.520
<v Speaker 3>And so it is like a fantasy sports ben. If

0:27:49.560 --> 0:27:53.320
<v Speaker 3>you win over six hundred dollars, you owe taxes. And

0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:55.520
<v Speaker 3>so my older brother he used to use my account

0:27:55.680 --> 0:27:59.280
<v Speaker 3>and his because he had such an issue with sports gambling,

0:27:59.600 --> 0:28:01.639
<v Speaker 3>and then I had to pay tax and so did he.

0:28:02.200 --> 0:28:04.640
<v Speaker 3>It's crazy, right, I mean, you win that money, but yeah,

0:28:04.680 --> 0:28:07.040
<v Speaker 3>you're right, Uh, you got to pay the taxes on it.

0:28:07.359 --> 0:28:09.960
<v Speaker 1>So here's the odd thing about it. For Roman and

0:28:10.000 --> 0:28:13.240
<v Speaker 1>for you, Danny, So I stopped completely just because you

0:28:13.280 --> 0:28:16.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to pay the taxes. Well, I left exactly

0:28:16.080 --> 0:28:19.000
<v Speaker 1>because I'm a titwats. But I left the money the

0:28:19.040 --> 0:28:23.000
<v Speaker 1>stocks I owned, I left them in the account. So

0:28:23.200 --> 0:28:24.720
<v Speaker 1>every once in a while I'll go check and I

0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:30.000
<v Speaker 1>look the other day, without doing anything, without trading stocks,

0:28:30.000 --> 0:28:34.280
<v Speaker 1>without doing anything, the stocks I had have gone up

0:28:34.600 --> 0:28:39.440
<v Speaker 1>forty two percent. Since then, the value of the stocks

0:28:39.480 --> 0:28:40.440
<v Speaker 1>is going to forty two percent.

0:28:40.560 --> 0:28:43.920
<v Speaker 3>And by doing that's just because you left it alone,

0:28:44.280 --> 0:28:45.200
<v Speaker 3>by doing nothing.

0:28:46.000 --> 0:28:49.960
<v Speaker 1>By doing nothing, almost all of the stocks I got,

0:28:50.040 --> 0:28:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I bought a lot of stocks. Here's what I would

0:28:51.960 --> 0:28:54.920
<v Speaker 1>also recommend Roman. If you play the stock market, buy

0:28:55.040 --> 0:29:00.920
<v Speaker 1>stocks with dividends. I highly recommend dividends because then you're

0:29:01.160 --> 0:29:03.720
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna get a little bit of money every you know,

0:29:03.760 --> 0:29:06.080
<v Speaker 1>every four months or so, depending when they pay out

0:29:06.080 --> 0:29:08.360
<v Speaker 1>the dividends, you're gonna get a little bit of money.

0:29:08.840 --> 0:29:12.600
<v Speaker 3>And then that's us back to sports with the fantasy

0:29:12.720 --> 0:29:15.840
<v Speaker 3>you know where you could put your roster together each

0:29:15.880 --> 0:29:19.520
<v Speaker 3>weekend or whatever, Well, the same thing. If you set

0:29:19.520 --> 0:29:22.160
<v Speaker 3>it off your gut and then you leave your roster alone,

0:29:22.440 --> 0:29:24.960
<v Speaker 3>you'll win that weekend. Right, But what happens when you

0:29:25.000 --> 0:29:28.560
<v Speaker 3>tinker with it too much and you're done. You're done.

0:29:28.640 --> 0:29:31.000
<v Speaker 3>And the same thing with your stocks. You got that

0:29:31.040 --> 0:29:33.840
<v Speaker 3>forty two percent gain because you left it alone. You

0:29:33.880 --> 0:29:37.080
<v Speaker 3>didn't overthink it. Oh yeah, for sure, I guarantee you.

0:29:37.080 --> 0:29:38.840
<v Speaker 1>If I had been playing the stock market the way

0:29:38.880 --> 0:29:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I played it during COVID, I would have lost everything,

0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:44.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, I would have It's like, I'm the idiot

0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:47.240
<v Speaker 1>that bought doge coin when that was because that was

0:29:47.320 --> 0:29:49.240
<v Speaker 1>kind of during the COVID time, Like, oh, doge coin

0:29:49.320 --> 0:29:52.920
<v Speaker 1>to the moon. Doge coin, Let me let me see

0:29:52.960 --> 0:29:55.760
<v Speaker 1>what it's worth right now. Let me check you, because

0:29:55.760 --> 0:29:56.840
<v Speaker 1>I do I still own some.

0:29:56.960 --> 0:29:59.160
<v Speaker 3>Oh my brother sent me the app on that and

0:29:59.200 --> 0:30:01.400
<v Speaker 3>tried to talk me into it for weeks.

0:30:01.720 --> 0:30:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, doge coin is currently worth a half of one cent.

0:30:12.520 --> 0:30:15.560
<v Speaker 3>Ouch o.

0:30:16.320 --> 0:30:18.560
<v Speaker 1>But the good news is I own like three hundred

0:30:18.600 --> 0:30:21.680
<v Speaker 1>shares of it. So if it ever goes up, I'm

0:30:21.720 --> 0:30:24.520
<v Speaker 1>a maid man. I'm set man. If that doge coin

0:30:24.560 --> 0:30:26.320
<v Speaker 1>ever takes off, I will.

0:30:26.160 --> 0:30:30.080
<v Speaker 3>Be rich if that goes up. Forget Hawaii, We're talking Bora, bora.

0:30:29.960 --> 0:30:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, We're going We're going to the moon. Nick

0:30:33.240 --> 0:30:35.440
<v Speaker 1>and Wisconsin rights and he says, Hey, Ben and Danny g.

0:30:35.960 --> 0:30:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I've had some decent questions, but none good enough to

0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:41.520
<v Speaker 1>send the last couple of weeks. So the question is,

0:30:41.880 --> 0:30:44.840
<v Speaker 1>when you were a kid, did your parents ever make

0:30:44.880 --> 0:30:47.880
<v Speaker 1>you do a sport or activity that you hated? And

0:30:48.120 --> 0:30:54.640
<v Speaker 1>if so, what was it? Have a wonderful Sunday from

0:30:54.840 --> 0:30:59.720
<v Speaker 1>our buddy Nick in Wisconsin. So yeah, my mom directed

0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:01.720
<v Speaker 1>me to stuff, but she I'll give my mom credit

0:31:01.720 --> 0:31:03.760
<v Speaker 1>because once I really raised the ruckus after a while,

0:31:03.800 --> 0:31:06.880
<v Speaker 1>she normally say, all right, I didn't want to learn

0:31:06.880 --> 0:31:09.120
<v Speaker 1>how to play the piano. I didn't want to go

0:31:09.200 --> 0:31:13.719
<v Speaker 1>to uh, you know, Sunday school, you know, for the temple.

0:31:13.920 --> 0:31:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Didn't want to do that, but you know I did.

0:31:18.080 --> 0:31:20.320
<v Speaker 1>And then I complained enough and she she stopped. And

0:31:20.360 --> 0:31:22.719
<v Speaker 1>she wanted me to play sports, but I was into that,

0:31:23.760 --> 0:31:26.360
<v Speaker 1>so I did. And she always wanted me to try

0:31:26.360 --> 0:31:28.800
<v Speaker 1>different things. I wanted you to try stuff and see

0:31:28.800 --> 0:31:30.760
<v Speaker 1>if you like it or not. So that was always

0:31:30.800 --> 0:31:33.080
<v Speaker 1>how she would sell me. Danny's like, just give it

0:31:33.120 --> 0:31:35.760
<v Speaker 1>a shot, you might like it. Like, well, I don't

0:31:35.840 --> 0:31:38.120
<v Speaker 1>want it anyway, what about you?

0:31:38.200 --> 0:31:41.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, my mom was cool about not forcing stuff on us.

0:31:42.240 --> 0:31:45.720
<v Speaker 3>Religion she forced on us. But as far as sports

0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:49.160
<v Speaker 3>or activities, the one thing she had tennis rackets, and

0:31:49.200 --> 0:31:52.120
<v Speaker 3>she would take us to tennis courts or parks that

0:31:52.200 --> 0:31:54.440
<v Speaker 3>had tennis courts. That was a thing back in the day.

0:31:54.720 --> 0:31:58.320
<v Speaker 3>Now it's all pickleball. Now, it's all pickleball courts. Yeah,

0:31:58.320 --> 0:32:00.800
<v Speaker 3>But when we were kids, way back in the olden days,

0:32:01.040 --> 0:32:03.600
<v Speaker 3>it was tennis courts at parks, and she had a

0:32:03.640 --> 0:32:06.760
<v Speaker 3>couple of tennis rackets, and she wanted us to stand

0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:09.040
<v Speaker 3>there in volley and my older brother and I we

0:32:09.080 --> 0:32:11.080
<v Speaker 3>would do it for a little bit. But what we

0:32:11.200 --> 0:32:14.120
<v Speaker 3>liked more was like racquetball and butts up. We wanted

0:32:14.120 --> 0:32:15.600
<v Speaker 3>to hit the ball against the wall.

0:32:16.120 --> 0:32:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, racquetball, Yeah, in the racquetball court. Amazing. Awesome.

0:32:20.520 --> 0:32:22.160
<v Speaker 1>You ever played baseball with a racket ball?

0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:25.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we sure did. Those hard blue racketballs.

0:32:25.920 --> 0:32:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Awesome. You felt like you were in the big league.

0:32:28.000 --> 0:32:30.239
<v Speaker 3>Hell yeah, Although I fired that in And we had

0:32:30.240 --> 0:32:33.360
<v Speaker 3>a game called butts up where if somebody picked up

0:32:33.400 --> 0:32:36.400
<v Speaker 3>the ball you fumbled, threw the ball to the wall

0:32:36.440 --> 0:32:38.400
<v Speaker 3>and beat you there. Before you could touch the wall,

0:32:38.800 --> 0:32:40.880
<v Speaker 3>you had to stand up there and they got a

0:32:40.960 --> 0:32:47.240
<v Speaker 3>freeze shot, a pitch, a fastball, at your backside. That's awesome.

0:32:47.320 --> 0:32:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Did you ever I think we've talked about this in

0:32:49.400 --> 0:32:53.360
<v Speaker 1>a previous episode, but I also at one point we

0:32:53.520 --> 0:32:55.600
<v Speaker 1>were we were messing around me and my buddies in

0:32:55.640 --> 0:32:57.840
<v Speaker 1>the neighborhood, and we used to play baseball all the

0:32:57.880 --> 0:32:59.880
<v Speaker 1>time because we're big. You know, that's what we did.

0:33:00.160 --> 0:33:05.320
<v Speaker 1>And uh, you ever made contact sweet spot metal bat

0:33:05.400 --> 0:33:05.880
<v Speaker 1>golf ball?

0:33:06.280 --> 0:33:10.280
<v Speaker 3>Are you kidding? My old Ben, my older brother, would

0:33:10.280 --> 0:33:13.280
<v Speaker 3>take a bucket of golf balls with our aluminum bat

0:33:13.560 --> 0:33:16.840
<v Speaker 3>and he would pitch to himself and he had the

0:33:16.920 --> 0:33:20.200
<v Speaker 3>ball to the front of the college campus that was

0:33:20.360 --> 0:33:22.280
<v Speaker 3>five blocks away from our house.

0:33:22.720 --> 0:33:26.000
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing. You felt like Barry Bonds all routed up

0:33:26.040 --> 0:33:26.840
<v Speaker 1>back in the nineties.

0:33:26.840 --> 0:33:28.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh, he thought he was Babe Ruth.

0:33:28.760 --> 0:33:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Oh it's awesome. Now, I don't recommend it because

0:33:32.080 --> 0:33:34.240
<v Speaker 1>it's very dangerous. If you were hit. It's like somebody's

0:33:34.280 --> 0:33:36.000
<v Speaker 1>pitching the golf ball to you and you hit them,

0:33:36.040 --> 0:33:38.640
<v Speaker 1>you'll kill them. But if you assuming that that's not

0:33:38.680 --> 0:33:39.200
<v Speaker 1>an issue.

0:33:39.480 --> 0:33:42.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh man, I'm sure he hit some windshields that we

0:33:42.200 --> 0:33:43.360
<v Speaker 3>just didn't find out about.

0:33:43.720 --> 0:33:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Just feel like a boss, an absolute boss. Thank you.

0:33:47.640 --> 0:33:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Nick JJ from Milwaukee that's back to back. We're big

0:33:51.560 --> 0:33:55.840
<v Speaker 1>in Wisconsin, Danny, This podcast big in the dairy state.

0:33:56.200 --> 0:33:59.840
<v Speaker 1>W I the Badger's state anyway, JJ says, Hey, Ben

0:34:00.240 --> 0:34:03.400
<v Speaker 1>and Danny, I saw that crowd strike that shut down

0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:07.280
<v Speaker 1>the world offered ten dollars gift cards as an apology.

0:34:08.239 --> 0:34:13.879
<v Speaker 1>Is that a fair offer? Come on? JJ? Yeah? What

0:34:13.880 --> 0:34:17.160
<v Speaker 1>do you want to say? It's obviously absurd, But what

0:34:17.680 --> 0:34:19.480
<v Speaker 1>are they gonna do this? So many people were affected.

0:34:20.920 --> 0:34:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what they they could do. Braydon from

0:34:23.600 --> 0:34:25.840
<v Speaker 1>South Carolina writes, and he says, I have a conspiracy

0:34:25.880 --> 0:34:30.759
<v Speaker 1>theory that doctors actually are in the tank with dentists.

0:34:30.960 --> 0:34:36.760
<v Speaker 1>That is why they give children lollipops. You agree or disagree?

0:34:37.040 --> 0:34:38.760
<v Speaker 1>What do you think, Danny? You think there's a grand

0:34:38.760 --> 0:34:41.839
<v Speaker 1>conspiracy between doctors to help out that their friends who

0:34:41.880 --> 0:34:42.480
<v Speaker 1>are Dennis.

0:34:42.600 --> 0:34:45.120
<v Speaker 3>That might be the best conspiracy theory I've heard in

0:34:45.160 --> 0:34:45.920
<v Speaker 3>two weekends.

0:34:46.320 --> 0:34:48.360
<v Speaker 1>That sounds like something Ty Shirt would come up with you.

0:34:49.840 --> 0:34:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Mike in Kansas City writes in he says, guys, I

0:34:53.680 --> 0:34:55.920
<v Speaker 1>read that Earth is going to set records for the

0:34:55.960 --> 0:34:57.719
<v Speaker 1>hottest days ever recorded.

0:34:59.120 --> 0:35:02.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that happened last It already happened. Yeah, it happened

0:35:02.080 --> 0:35:04.240
<v Speaker 3>last Sunday and Monday back to back.

0:35:05.000 --> 0:35:10.759
<v Speaker 1>Are you Are you guys worried. No, it's the summer

0:35:11.120 --> 0:35:13.759
<v Speaker 1>and it's hot. Spending too much time in the sun

0:35:13.840 --> 0:35:16.480
<v Speaker 1>can lead to some pain, especially if you didn't wear

0:35:16.480 --> 0:35:20.720
<v Speaker 1>any sunscreen. I'll be worried when people start dying, hundreds

0:35:20.760 --> 0:35:23.080
<v Speaker 1>and thousands of people start dying, that I'll be worried.

0:35:23.080 --> 0:35:25.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm not worried because it's hot. It's like it gets

0:35:25.560 --> 0:35:28.640
<v Speaker 1>cold in the winter, it gets hot in the summer. Periods.

0:35:28.640 --> 0:35:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Stop not developing hot dot dot dot. I mean, that's

0:35:32.200 --> 0:35:32.799
<v Speaker 1>just the way it is.

0:35:33.120 --> 0:35:38.040
<v Speaker 3>Have you heard the conspiracy about otter pops? No, neither

0:35:38.080 --> 0:35:40.040
<v Speaker 3>of I okay.

0:35:40.120 --> 0:35:44.680
<v Speaker 1>There are actual otters. There's actually bright blue and red otters.

0:35:44.200 --> 0:35:46.640
<v Speaker 3>Otter feces in each pop dummy.

0:35:47.239 --> 0:35:50.239
<v Speaker 1>It's all related. It's all connected, all of it in

0:35:50.320 --> 0:35:56.680
<v Speaker 1>some weird way. Freddy from Vermont. That is the only

0:35:56.800 --> 0:35:58.560
<v Speaker 1>state in New England I have not been to. That's

0:35:58.600 --> 0:36:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the home of Arnie Spanier. Our colleague Arnie Spaniels is

0:36:03.280 --> 0:36:03.959
<v Speaker 1>good old Arnie.

0:36:04.080 --> 0:36:06.920
<v Speaker 3>He sends us maple syrup from there every Christmas.

0:36:07.080 --> 0:36:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm surprised that Arnie said. I've known Arnie for way

0:36:10.600 --> 0:36:13.360
<v Speaker 1>too long. But I'm surprised he was lived with in Chicago.

0:36:13.480 --> 0:36:15.480
<v Speaker 1>He's from La. He lived in La.

0:36:15.560 --> 0:36:19.120
<v Speaker 3>He says he went there for his son's hockey career,

0:36:20.320 --> 0:36:23.120
<v Speaker 3>and his son now teaches hockey. But now that his

0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:24.959
<v Speaker 3>son is older, you'd think he would move.

0:36:25.840 --> 0:36:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I guess he likes this a nice little New

0:36:28.480 --> 0:36:34.000
<v Speaker 1>England town and okay, good for you anyway. Freddy says

0:36:34.440 --> 0:36:36.640
<v Speaker 1>he heard this week that or he saw this week

0:36:36.640 --> 0:36:41.200
<v Speaker 1>that Tesla buyers are very upset with Elon Musk endorsing

0:36:41.280 --> 0:36:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump, and people are selling their Tesla's. Do you

0:36:44.680 --> 0:36:50.200
<v Speaker 1>believe this from Freddy?

0:36:50.400 --> 0:36:51.480
<v Speaker 3>It's a little extreme.

0:36:52.120 --> 0:36:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. No, people buy Tesla's because they think they're saving

0:36:56.600 --> 0:37:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the world environmentally, and whether Elon Uscus buddies with Trump

0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:04.560
<v Speaker 1>or not, if your goal is to save the world

0:37:04.600 --> 0:37:07.919
<v Speaker 1>and all that from from fossil fuels, even though I've

0:37:07.960 --> 0:37:10.520
<v Speaker 1>read a lot of stories that claim those cars are

0:37:10.520 --> 0:37:12.920
<v Speaker 1>not great for the environment. But if that's what you believe,

0:37:13.040 --> 0:37:16.520
<v Speaker 1>that's your dogma, then why would you care? You might

0:37:16.760 --> 0:37:19.640
<v Speaker 1>and I really think that there's like one percent of people,

0:37:19.800 --> 0:37:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Danny that don't go to a restaurant or don't listen

0:37:23.200 --> 0:37:26.080
<v Speaker 1>to a radio show because of someone's political beliefs, you

0:37:26.120 --> 0:37:28.200
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, Like you've got to be hardcore

0:37:28.360 --> 0:37:31.800
<v Speaker 1>right or left wing. Yeah, don't be that person. Okay.

0:37:32.040 --> 0:37:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I got friends of mine, you know, or obviously I

0:37:34.640 --> 0:37:37.799
<v Speaker 1>lean a different way, but they're very, very liberal or whatever.

0:37:37.880 --> 0:37:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm like whatever. I think they're idiots, but I I'm

0:37:40.719 --> 0:37:42.400
<v Speaker 1>friends with them, so you know, I don't agree with

0:37:42.400 --> 0:37:44.799
<v Speaker 1>their politics and they don't agree with my politics. But

0:37:44.800 --> 0:37:47.760
<v Speaker 1>that's how we grew up, right, Danny. Yeah, that's the way.

0:37:47.560 --> 0:37:50.120
<v Speaker 3>It used to be, is that you didn't talk religion

0:37:50.160 --> 0:37:53.359
<v Speaker 3>and politics at the dinner table, and you didn't base

0:37:53.480 --> 0:37:56.600
<v Speaker 3>your friends on that either. It's what they believe, it's

0:37:56.600 --> 0:38:00.000
<v Speaker 3>what you believe, and that doesn't come between you.

0:38:00.200 --> 0:38:02.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it doesn't matter. Like you vote for who you want,

0:38:02.800 --> 0:38:04.919
<v Speaker 1>I'll vote for who I want. We'll cross each other

0:38:04.960 --> 0:38:09.920
<v Speaker 1>out and then that's it. Dun Skis, goodbye, see you later,

0:38:10.800 --> 0:38:15.080
<v Speaker 1>good daiser. Yeah. I think that's that's enough.

0:38:15.120 --> 0:38:15.279
<v Speaker 2>Then.

0:38:15.280 --> 0:38:17.040
<v Speaker 3>I think it's a good way to end. One more

0:38:17.080 --> 0:38:18.600
<v Speaker 3>conspiracy from you though.

0:38:19.080 --> 0:38:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you want one more conspiracy, one more from you? Yeah?

0:38:22.800 --> 0:38:27.920
<v Speaker 1>All right? That the refrigerator in your kitchen, right, refrigerator

0:38:27.920 --> 0:38:32.080
<v Speaker 1>that you have in your kitchen. Yeah, is actually alien

0:38:32.160 --> 0:38:36.560
<v Speaker 1>technology and they're they they come down and they live.

0:38:36.800 --> 0:38:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Aliens will come down and rest. They like cold environments,

0:38:40.520 --> 0:38:42.840
<v Speaker 1>so they will they will suck into the back of

0:38:42.880 --> 0:38:46.600
<v Speaker 1>your refrigerator. They're very small aliens standing. Okay, they're very small.

0:38:46.920 --> 0:38:48.920
<v Speaker 1>They're they're kind of like the grays, but they're actually

0:38:49.520 --> 0:38:54.120
<v Speaker 1>like a green color. And they'll live and they'll nap

0:38:54.200 --> 0:38:56.480
<v Speaker 1>in the back of your frigerator because they need the cold.

0:38:59.239 --> 0:39:02.600
<v Speaker 1>What do you think, Yeah, I know.

0:39:02.840 --> 0:39:05.200
<v Speaker 3>I think the next time you should talk conspiracies is

0:39:05.239 --> 0:39:06.520
<v Speaker 3>when Alex fills in again.

0:39:07.120 --> 0:39:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Yet crickets.

0:39:09.840 --> 0:39:11.680
<v Speaker 3>Help burn the castle down again?

0:39:12.080 --> 0:39:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Yes, all right, we'll have a wonderful rescue day. Remember tonight,

0:40:03.440 --> 0:40:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Diggity Dog, The Mallard Paulooza twenty twenty fours. And I

0:40:08.520 --> 0:40:10.279

0:40:24.280 --> 0:40:27.760

0:40:27.800 --> 0:40:29.840
<v Speaker 3>an early draft of it, but looks like you have

0:40:29.880 --> 0:40:32.160
<v Speaker 3>an open spot for a harmonica player.

0:40:34.880 --> 0:40:37.719
<v Speaker 1>Well, we have marked the full name guy, but I

0:40:37.760 --> 0:40:40.279
<v Speaker 1>think he's boycotting the show right now. He's a harmonica guy.

0:40:40.400 --> 0:40:42.520
<v Speaker 1>And we've got Dick and Dayton who does the banjo.
