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 2: The clearing House of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.

Speaker 1: Danny G. So I've got the Burning Man, Serendipity, Coha's
Speaker 1: Thunderdome backscratcher, the phrase of the week, which is not
Speaker 1: to be confused with the idiom of the week or
Speaker 1: the word of the week. The phrase of the week,
Speaker 1: and also pop goes the culture. And we'll see how
Speaker 1: much of this we actually get to. I think we'll
Speaker 1: get to all of it. I'm confident, I'm Benny bright Side.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to all this, more like half of it,
Speaker 1: how dare you? So we're going to start with it.
Speaker 1: So I mentioned if you listen to the Friday Pod,
Speaker 1: then you know the story that I told about last weekend.
Speaker 1: My wife throughout a birthday party for one of the
Speaker 1: people she works with, and we went to this Q
Speaker 1: didn't speak easy cigar bar and high end dress code,
Speaker 1: all that real ritzy. Now you know about that, But
Speaker 1: I didn't tell all of the details because I have
Speaker 1: the postgame show right now. For example, after we got
Speaker 1: done at the club, we waited for the guy whose
Speaker 1: birthday it was. He never showed up, And then after
Speaker 1: that we took off and decided he you know, live
Speaker 1: a little bit. You only live once. You might as
Speaker 1: well enjoy life. So why don't we go out. I
Speaker 1: have some late night munchies, So we Did we go
Speaker 1: to Jack in the Box.
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Did we go to Carlos Junior, which is a good
Speaker 1: chain out here. No in and out Burger. No, we
Speaker 1: went big, went to Fat sALS sALS legendary spot in
Speaker 1: LA and elsewhere. But went to Fat Soles sandwich shop,
Speaker 1: the one on.
Speaker 4: Three thousand calories per sandwich.
Speaker 1: Yeah, even if you look at the menu, you it's
Speaker 1: like eight hundred calories. Just looking at the menus, eight
Speaker 1: hundred calories. So going there Fat Soles Highland in Hollywood
Speaker 1: and hey, hey, hey, Megan a sandwich over here? Uh
Speaker 1: and no gabba goool, No, goaba goool. Was consumed, but
Speaker 1: had the Fat Texas Barbecue, which is my go to sandwich.
Speaker 1: And then around around one in the morning we got done.
Speaker 1: And of course this happens a lot these days. You
Speaker 1: go to a place like that because it's people who
Speaker 1: are you college age, we're like old people. We become
Speaker 1: the old people, you know, going there, it's like, wow,
Speaker 1: what happened? But anyway, we left there, headed to the
Speaker 1: Malor Manches. So we're driving. If you're familiar with l A,
Speaker 1: I know most people that listen to this podcast are
Speaker 1: not in LA. So we're driving on the one on one,
Speaker 1: the historic one on one freeway right right, wrapping around
Speaker 1: downtown La. Coming from Fat Soles sandwich shop in Hollywood.
Speaker 1: So what drives late night. I've had no sleep, I'm
Speaker 1: heavily caffeinated, my belly is full. I just want to
Speaker 1: go home and lay down. So we're driving and there's
Speaker 1: no traffic or anything like that. There's nothing really going
Speaker 1: on other than the highway work from time to time.
Speaker 1: So off in the distance, my wife sees this massive fire,
Speaker 1: just humongous fire, and it was an inferno that lit
Speaker 1: up very dark sky. It's like almost one in the morning,
Speaker 1: you know, it's dark and all that. And so since
Speaker 1: she knows all these places to go to find out information,
Speaker 1: she goes to this I think it's like a special
Speaker 1: LA fire website. It's probably not even that special. So
Speaker 1: she goes to the La Los Angeles Fire Department website
Speaker 1: that she has access to. So she's looking trying to
Speaker 1: figure out where the fire is, and so she finds
Speaker 1: it because it's a massive fire, and then she starts
Speaker 1: kind of freaking. I don't know, bit She's like, wait
Speaker 1: a minute, so what was so crazy about that freak out?
Speaker 1: Like why did she freak out? Well, this was a
Speaker 1: we'll call it a burning man serendipity moment, because I'll
Speaker 1: give you a humdinger of a plot twist. This massive
Speaker 1: fire which became national news, the fire that we saw
Speaker 1: in the middle of the concrete jung. He there's millions
Speaker 1: of people in that. You're driving on the one to
Speaker 1: one around La, downtown La. The skyscrapers, you've got big businesses,
Speaker 1: you've got apartment buildings, you've got homes. It's like every
Speaker 1: other big city. And there's this massive fire. And she
Speaker 1: had looked where the fire was, and the fire is
Speaker 1: on the same street her father's business is on. My
Speaker 1: father in law, Oh, like, what are the odds? Right?
Speaker 1: He runs like a food storage place in downtown LA.
Speaker 1: It's right next to the ten Freeway, the busiest highway
Speaker 1: that portion in the country, or it's either one or
Speaker 1: in the top five. So she's like, this is I mean,
Speaker 1: his place might might have burned down. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know, it's the fire's massive. It's like, it's like ridiculous.
Speaker 1: And so we changed the GPS. Now we didn't know
Speaker 1: if his place had turned to ash. My father in law,
Speaker 1: so we drove, of course, like idiots. We drove towards
Speaker 1: the fire like a moth to a flame to try
Speaker 1: to to see if we could get near his place
Speaker 1: to see it make sure everything goes okay. So she's
Speaker 1: while I'm driving, she's calling to try to, you know,
Speaker 1: wake wake him up. He's sleep so we know he's
Speaker 1: not there and he's not getting up. He's not getting up.
Speaker 1: So we drove as close as we could get a
Speaker 1: couple of blocks away from the fire. Police have closed
Speaker 1: the street down. Everyone's making illegal U turns right because
Speaker 1: total shit show. And then there's people on bikes that
Speaker 1: are like it's like being a Disneyland watching the fireworks show.
Speaker 1: The fire was that intense. People were like out and
Speaker 1: about at one in the morning and just could not
Speaker 1: believe what they were looking at.
Speaker 4: Did you see a helmet man?
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was selling some shirts and some trash. But no,
Speaker 1: we were not able to get that close. But the
Speaker 1: story does have a well, not a happy ending for everybody,
Speaker 1: but for us. The LA Fire Department was able to
Speaker 1: save the warehouse that my father in law owns, but
Speaker 1: everything on the side burned. He did suffer some damage,
Speaker 1: but not as much as the Interstate ten at Alameda,
Speaker 1: which from what I read, will be closed for another month,
Speaker 1: and they're lucky. So the fire was literally under the
Speaker 1: freeway and burned so hot through the freeway that it
Speaker 1: through the highway. It burned all the way up and
Speaker 1: probably looked like it was like a thirteen story and
Speaker 1: maybe I'm exaggerating, but it seemed from a distance like
Speaker 1: it was like over thirteen stories in the air.
Speaker 4: I saw this on the news. Do they have any
Speaker 4: idea how this started?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there was a storage place. I don't know
Speaker 1: for sure, and don't take my word for it, but
Speaker 1: as I understand it, the hypothesis that I've been told
Speaker 1: from people who are down there is they were storing
Speaker 1: wooden planks that the city of La or the state
Speaker 1: of California had rented out the space under the freeway
Speaker 1: for storage. So they were storing wooden planks and some
Speaker 1: homeless people. Of course La is known for their homeless
Speaker 1: They were doing something futzing around, this is the theory,
Speaker 1: and whether they were trying to keep warm or not.
Speaker 1: I don't think it was that cold that night, but
Speaker 1: if I'm living outside, I might think it's that cold,
Speaker 1: But they think that that's what led the initial fire,
Speaker 1: and then it spread, it got out of control and
Speaker 1: just burn, baby burn, And now you're out. You're pretty
Speaker 1: far west. I don't think you've had to deal with
Speaker 1: like extra traffic. I had only one day. Actually it
Speaker 1: was actually back on Thursday. I was driving home. We
Speaker 1: were taping Benny versus the Penny, and I was driving
Speaker 1: and I had to go kind of through that intersection
Speaker 1: and that was a nightmare. But it's wild, man, of
Speaker 1: all the places for the fire to be on the
Speaker 1: same street that my father in law's businesses on, nuts
Speaker 1: and he had I talked to him and he had
Speaker 1: to have the insurance come down because there was some damage.
Speaker 1: But fortunately his building, his warehouse, reinforced concrete and like
Speaker 1: the most fireproof building you can have. It's like in
Speaker 1: the top two or three for fireproof buildings, and it
Speaker 1: actually worked. And for that thing not to burn down,
Speaker 1: considering how large the flames were and how that thing
Speaker 1: burned and burned and burned all night long, craziness, craziness.
Speaker 1: So good job by the fire department and all that.
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be a while before that that opens up.
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll build the thunderdome there for like Cola. Maybe
Speaker 1: like right under the freeway, they can build a thunder dome.
Speaker 1: That'd be cool.
Speaker 4: Well, they have the audience fire ready to bring the gas.
Speaker 4: I'm I'm at home the other day, midday doing pre
Speaker 4: production for Covino and Rich and Coco Melon is on
Speaker 4: in the background. Now, Ben, you don't have any little
Speaker 4: ones running around your your crib there. But have you
Speaker 4: ever heard of Coco Melon?
Speaker 1: Uh no, I've heard of Coco Beware, let me look
Speaker 1: up Coco Melon.
Speaker 4: Let me see Coco Melon.
Speaker 1: So YouTube person or something is this.
Speaker 4: They started this show on YouTube and now it's on Netflix.
Speaker 4: I'm going to send you a picture of CoA watching
Speaker 4: Coco Melon.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's see here my phone up here.
Speaker 4: Now CoA even has one of the characters of Coco
Speaker 4: Melon JJ, the big headed J, which you think Coco
Speaker 4: Melon might be because they have big heads. It's actually
Speaker 4: not how the creators came up with the name.
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean I'm looking. I'm hoping this up here.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's great. It looks very happy, Kul Yeah, satisfied,
Speaker 1: like this is a really good thing.
Speaker 4: This is it's one of the two things we can
Speaker 4: turn on the TV that he'll you know, that gets
Speaker 4: his sensory overload happening. Of course, you got to place
Speaker 4: them far enough away from the TV so he doesn't
Speaker 4: get cross eyed. But so you give them tummy time,
Speaker 4: or you turn their head the other way that they
Speaker 4: don't normally place their head to build up the strength
Speaker 4: in their neck so that he can, you know, move
Speaker 4: his Coco Melon the right way without having to wear
Speaker 4: a helmet later in life.
Speaker 1: That as much as you can.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, As he's watching Coco Melon and I'm surfing
Speaker 4: for stories for the guys for topics that day, my
Speaker 4: phone goes off and I'm thinking, all right, this time
Speaker 4: of the day, it's usually our boss or one of
Speaker 4: the guys from the show. Glance at my phone and
Speaker 4: it's one Clay T Travis. No Way, not usually a
Speaker 4: big deal, but it is right now because as you know,
Speaker 4: Clay is busy with multiple companies.
Speaker 1: And yeah, he's got out kick, he's got the Rush
Speaker 1: Limbaugh job right the show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Plus he's busy throwing down one million dollar bets
Speaker 4: to w NBA.
Speaker 1: Teams popping up on Fox and who's doing those and
Speaker 1: all this?
Speaker 4: Sure, exactly, it had been a few weeks since I
Speaker 4: saw Clay Travis text. So here's what it reads. And
Speaker 4: now you and I of course have an inside joke
Speaker 4: that by the time we get this Animal Thunderdome podcast going,
Speaker 4: CoA will be the one hosting it. Yeah.
Speaker 5: No, CoA is a grandchild will host it. Actually yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: I'll be long gone. It'll be coha gee, and it'll
Speaker 5: be Nash Travis. He's one of Clay's kids. So this
Speaker 5: text came in Tuesday Talk. It says I can be
Speaker 5: ready to go on Thunderdome soon.
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, that's right, that's great.
Speaker 4: I wrote back, awesome news. Yeah, and he wrote back nothing,
Speaker 4: what well? I mean because he he's a run texter.
Speaker 1: He'll he's a busy guy.
Speaker 4: I got you. Yeah, He'll send one text and that'll
Speaker 4: be it for a few weeks.
Speaker 1: So that sounds like a green light though, that sounds like, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I had been waiting for his contract to
Speaker 4: allow him to do more shows than he's doing right now.
Speaker 4: And so for him to say I can be ready
Speaker 4: to go on Thunderdome soon, I don't know does that mean?
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty four twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: Ah'm well, the way this is going, it had been
Speaker 1: going twenty twenty seven or twenty twenty eight, but I'm otimus. Now.
Speaker 1: Nothing seems to happen between Thanksgiving Christmas, right, so I'm
Speaker 1: guessing early January.
Speaker 4: That's what I was hoping for.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Now we're not going to lose you on
Speaker 1: this podcast.
Speaker 4: Oh no, this will be additional. He'll he'll do once
Speaker 4: a week with me with all the best animal stories.
Speaker 1: Oh, you gotta have some good animal sound effects and stuff,
Speaker 1: and that'd be good. Yeah, I would listen. I have
Speaker 1: drops from back in the day.
Speaker 4: We had certain drops from like Australian guys, from different
Speaker 4: stories we.
Speaker 1: Did, oh that ten cups again.
Speaker 4: I get all the old drops ready to go and
Speaker 4: look for some death like whenever somebody dies at the
Speaker 4: hand of an animal, Clay will text me that story.
Speaker 1: You gotta see this. You got to check this out.
Speaker 1: We've got death bye bye or something. I guess because
Speaker 1: I don't want to say that this podcast doesn't get promotion,
Speaker 1: but I think that Clay's will if you, Clay's part
Speaker 1: of that with you. I don't think Danny, you're gonna
Speaker 1: have to worry about downloads and promotions and things like that.
Speaker 1: I don't think you'll have to beg anyone to listen
Speaker 1: because that would all over the iHeart app and they
Speaker 1: will promote the hell out of that thing.
Speaker 4: Now, the flip side of that is when I hear
Speaker 4: from people, well.
Speaker 1: The people that hate Clay because it was politics, what
Speaker 1: is going on? That is kind of height.
Speaker 4: People love animal death people, human sharks, dinosaurs, dinosaurs. Well,
Speaker 4: there were some dinosaur stories, Ben, because remember when all
Speaker 4: that wooly mammoth stuff was going on.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there is actually one of those and my
Speaker 1: spin off of your show that I have on my
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll get to that on Sunday. There is a
Speaker 1: willy mammoth story. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So there'd be stuff like that, and I would always
Speaker 4: book guests who were like the leading expert on wooly
Speaker 4: mammoths and stuff like that, and it got really good
Speaker 4: reviews from people. Well, the kickback that I would get is, hey,
Speaker 4: Klay Travis, he's a douchebag. Clay sucks, Clay's a dick,
Speaker 4: He's an asshole. So that's the only thing about being
Speaker 4: on the air with Clay is that you got to
Speaker 4: deal with all the bullets that come flying your way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you're the man in the arena, right, You'll
Speaker 1: be with the man in the arena. So that's that's
Speaker 1: gonna happen. And but you know, the good thing is
Speaker 1: you know they're all assholes, but that's fine. And the
Speaker 1: difference with the podcast though, would be, like you have
Speaker 1: to it's not like radio where you kind of stumble
Speaker 1: on to a radio shower Clay's whif is play on
Speaker 1: my radio? Like you have to physically choose to click
Speaker 1: the button to download the podcast.
Speaker 4: That's a great point. It's gonna be his fans that
Speaker 4: click on there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, and I'm sure he's got, as you reference,
Speaker 1: plenty of trolls that will download it. It's like the
Speaker 1: old Howard Stern thing. I remember the when Stern was
Speaker 1: at his peak back in the day and he was
Speaker 1: like the baddest man on radio and before he became
Speaker 1: all woke and terrible and painful to listen to. But
Speaker 1: back in the old days when he was on, when
Speaker 1: he had his fastball Howard Stern, like they said the
Speaker 1: consultants said that people listen longer because they hated him.
Speaker 1: It was Stern effect. People who really hated Howard Stern
Speaker 1: would listen longer, and I'm telling you the same thing
Speaker 1: about me happens with Clay Travis. Like the people that
Speaker 1: like Clay, there's a plenty of people. I obviously got
Speaker 1: the biggest job in political radio, replacing Howard Stern, Replacing
Speaker 1: Howard Stern, replacing Rush Limbaugh, which is an amazing, amazing
Speaker 1: stage to be on. I mean, the greatest of all
Speaker 1: time in political radio, Rush Limbaugh, to replace him is insane.
Speaker 1: But the Stern thing, I'm sure there's people who listened
Speaker 1: to Clay because they get annoyed, and the people that
Speaker 1: like him might listen a little bit, but the people
Speaker 1: that really don't like him just so that they don't
Speaker 1: want to miss a chance to be upset at something
Speaker 1: he says. But I don't know how upset you could
Speaker 1: be when he's breaking down an alligator walking on a
Speaker 1: golf course in South Carolina or something like that. I
Speaker 1: did have since you brought this up. I did not
Speaker 1: plan on bringing this up. I was going to say
Speaker 1: this for for Sunday, but we can do it now.
Speaker 1: The animal stories and this is like, this is the
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, Danny, that you know we might have
Speaker 1: to retire Safari Kingdom because you'll be doing this on
Speaker 1: Animal Thunderdome, the extinction of the wooly mammoth by twenty
Speaker 1: twenty eight. How insane is that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a story that's been going on for
Speaker 4: a while because we did this story originally on the
Speaker 4: Animal Thunderdome because there were scientists trying to read a
Speaker 4: wooly mammoth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, scientists are working right how to create the wooly
Speaker 1: mammoth genome. If successful, they would use Asian elephants to
Speaker 1: surrogate mother, and the company plans to monetize some of
Speaker 1: the technologies that develops, they say, in the process. But
Speaker 1: the plan is colossal Biosciences their plan to combine DNA
Speaker 1: from ancient species with living Asian elephants to give birth
Speaker 1: to a half that would live on a tribal land,
Speaker 1: the wooly freaking mammoth.
Speaker 4: That is freaking awesome.
Speaker 1: The thing died out four thousand years ago. It's like
Speaker 1: freaking Jurassic Park is happening, Danny. Yeah, you know, assuming
Speaker 1: we don't meet our untimely demise, we'll be alive to
Speaker 1: see it. That's nuts. That is wild to me.
Speaker 4: Oh Man Animal Kingdom. Can you imagine the folks they're
Speaker 4: scrambling to get one of these onto their property.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the sandy coming down to the San Diego
Speaker 1: Zoo to see a willy mammoth or whatever. Nuts nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts,
Speaker 1: nuts nuts. Let's see what else I saw. The first
Speaker 1: ever known case of zombie deer disease has been confirmed.
Speaker 1: That's exciting. What is zombie deer disease? It was confirmed
Speaker 1: in Yellowstone National Park. That's why they're concerned. I've never
Speaker 1: been to Yosun. I'd love to go. I think would
Speaker 1: be cool. I want to go to all the national
Speaker 1: parks I can go to. But they they're warning that
Speaker 1: there's a fatal brain disease that makes animals drool and
Speaker 1: unafraid of humans. People in Wyoming are freaking out. They're like,
Speaker 1: what are we going to do here. It's a chronic
Speaker 1: wasting disease. It causes zombie like symptoms, so the animals
Speaker 1: are usually afraid of us human beings. According to the
Speaker 1: US Park US National Park Service, they've been warning people like, hey,
Speaker 1: you can't you can't have any contact with the animals
Speaker 1: because they'll they're not afraid of you and they'll run
Speaker 1: right at you. So that was in triggering. What else
Speaker 1: do you see animal kind of bug wise or whatever.
Speaker 1: There's nearly fifty new fast moving nocturnal spider species that
Speaker 1: have been discovered in Australia. There's all kinds of weird,
Speaker 1: Like are guys in Australia Ozzie Wahz and those guys
Speaker 1: that listen to the podcasts in Australia, You guys have
Speaker 1: some really wild crape. Seriously, it's nuts. It's like its
Speaker 1: own it's on Earth, but it's got its own thing.
Speaker 1: That is just a different level.
Speaker 4: How about this headline, Police trace calls for help back
Speaker 4: to a sad goat?
Speaker 1: Say what?
Speaker 4: In British Columbia authorities they responded to reports of a
Speaker 4: call for help and arrived to find the cries were
Speaker 4: actually originating from a sad goat. Officers say they responded
Speaker 4: to somebody repeatedly shouting help from a ravine, what's going
Speaker 4: on with?
Speaker 1: What's going on with Tom Brady? What is he?
Speaker 4: And the person who heard the calls was scared that
Speaker 4: a person had fallen off a cliff. They further investigated
Speaker 4: the situation and found out it was just a sad
Speaker 4: goat from the neighboring goat farm. The farmer's owner told
Speaker 4: officers that the goat was calling out for her babies.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a that's a good story.
Speaker 4: I'll bet your wife gets some calls like, oh yeah,
Speaker 4: nuts great, but she has the regular I have regular callers.
Speaker 1: He has regular callers. You imagine being a regular callers
Speaker 1: for the police every day.
Speaker 4: Oh, that's yeah. Obviously, the famous story of how Jeanie
Speaker 4: found on the show.
Speaker 1: That's right, the great Geniu Medfressory, the greatest caller in
Speaker 1: the history of talk radio.
Speaker 4: I can imagine weed man hippie calling nine to one one.
Speaker 1: Hey, I need some weed, Come help me my weed man.
Speaker 1: Sounds like Arnie Spaniard. But they're gonna evict me.
Speaker 4: I love you, Ben, They're gonna evict me.
Speaker 1: Oh he got evicted, Danny. He did get evicted, and
Speaker 1: I'm bummed out because he had some stuff from the
Speaker 1: show that got he had to leave behind because he
Speaker 1: had nowhere to go. So he's like he's living on
Speaker 1: the on the streets of Miami. But if you're gonna
Speaker 1: be homeless, that's a pretty good place to be. Miami
Speaker 1: is a pretty good it rains a lot. But you know,
Speaker 1: the weather's warm year round. You don't have to worry
Speaker 1: about really cold weather. The hurricanes are a bummer. But
Speaker 1: he's such a nut job. Will you with me? When
Speaker 1: weed Man called up there was a hurricane coming through
Speaker 1: Miami and this numb nuts went down to a lifeguard
Speaker 1: tower on the beach and was calling in while the
Speaker 1: hurricane was making landfall in Miami. Oh here, ben ibut,
Speaker 1: you know the lifeguard stand seventeen.
Speaker 4: I'm like, now, that's dedication right there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, something's gonna happen. I remember telling them, dude,
Speaker 1: something's gonna happen. They're gonna blame me. I didn't tell
Speaker 1: you to do this, but they're gonna blame me, you know.
Speaker 1: And I don't. I don't want to be responsible. I
Speaker 1: don't want to flood on my hands and all that. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we have the backscratcher.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: We had a good month of October and November has
Speaker 1: been absolute poopy. It's just been just been bad. So
Speaker 1: this week, Danny. This is where people post you, the
Speaker 1: listener post things on the Apple podcast page, and nice
Speaker 1: things usually nice thing, but you can say mean things.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean, I don't care. Do whatever
Speaker 1: you do, whatever you gotta do. But that's the that's
Speaker 1: the it works. You go on that Apple podcast page,
Speaker 1: you do your you do your business and all that.
Speaker 1: So this week, Danny, do we have zero reviews, one review,
Speaker 1: two reviews or five five reviews?
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say one.

Speaker 1: two reviews, which is great. This is the first we've
Speaker 1: had in the month of November, so thank you. Slowly
Speaker 1: they are trickling in again, which is good. Craigster wrote in.
