WEBVTT - The Fifth Hour: "Parental Advisory" Mail Bag 0:00:00.800 --> 0:00:05.560 Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a 0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:09.240 week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.560 of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:15.560 treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the 0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:19.680 rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:23.520 hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:32.560 with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:37.720 the podcast do Joe is open for business. The on 0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:42.280 air light is flashing. I'm actually on the live air. 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:48.400 It's the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny g 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:56.600 Radio who because listen, five hours a day not enough. 0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:59.480 That's actually four hours today, four hours. It seems like 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:01.600 five hour, but it's four I don't even know how 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.320 long I'm on the radio, Danny, it's four hours a night. 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:08.560 It's not trigonometry. It seems like five hours, but it's 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.880 four hours a night. With how late you run the 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.920 clock at the network, it is five hours. Well, I 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:22.760 use the clock as a tool. I don't believe in 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:28.800 the clock being a hardline clock. Okay, Brandon Daley. It's 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.080 like the spirit of the law or the letter of 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.080 the law. I think the clock is a spirit of 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:34.959 the law and not the letter of the law. You're 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.240 like Nathaniel Hackett. You need a special advisor for the clock. 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:40.760 I want you to know that I run the two 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.479 minute drill better than anybody. I can jam more stuff 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:47.160 in a two minute segment than anyone else. My right 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.920 hand was getting a workout. That is true. I'll give 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.720 you that. I'll be like, we did all that in 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:57.520 two minutes now. Unfortunately, not everyone that I have worked 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.480 with over the years enjoys the speed ray seeing through 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:02.800 a segment. They do not like that, and that does 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:06.800 become a problem. But anyway, let's get on with the show. 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.200 We've got a big old mail bag here, so let's 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:13.120 strike up the band. Ohio, al do your thing, Ohio all. 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:30.840 It's bag alright, very nice and these are actual letters 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.919 by actual listeners. Danny G I love the mail bag. 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.359 It's one of my favorite things that I do during 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:39.560 the week, answering listening questions. And this is a totally 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:44.000 unique feature. There's nothing else quite like this. Yeah, it's 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.200 so unique. You do it twice a week. No no, no, no, no, 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:50.720 no no no, that's incorrect. That is a terrestrial radio bit. 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:54.519 That's podcasting is cool, Danny. We're cool doing the podcast 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.960 anything on radio. I mean, come on, it's radio. But 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:04.360 the podcasting, that's where all the hipsters are at right here, right, Yeah, 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.399 they don't make movies about radio anymore, but they make 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.120 movies about podcasting. Let me tell you that right now. 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.280 They love their podcast all right. Anyway, let's get to it. 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:20.240 Here and the first email, I got mail, Yeah, I 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:25.919 got mail. Yea. This comes from Ulysses in parts unknown. 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:29.160 He says, Ben and or Danny, g please see the 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:34.200 attached new proposal for the mail bag jingle. He says 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.600 he wants us to play this on on the areas. 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:41.240 I guess he's upset with Ohio. Al well, we got 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.600 a battle. We have a jingle battle, Danny. Are you 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:50.120 prepared to hear ulysses version of a jingle? He says here, Well, 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.200 I'm gonna read this last part after we play it. 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.360 I want you to hear it. And then you're a 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:58.280 professional DJ. You've been in radio for years, you know audio, Danny, 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.120 so you're the perfect guy to judge. But here is 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:04.680 Ulysses and his version of what he would like us 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:09.200 to play the mail jingle mail back here It is 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:18.360 what's in the back, what's in the back? Back back, 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.640 Let's end the back, let's end your back, then back 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:32.000 sil back. Yeah your thought? Uh, what's next? In the 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:37.440 mail bag? Ulyss? He says it took heat, says it 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:40.359 took a guy thirty minutes with no musical skills me 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:49.920 to make maybe the chicken. Wait, that took three minutes 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.880 or thirty minutes? He said, thirty minutes, he said, I'm 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.080 reading the email right here. He says, he took a 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:58.640 guy thirty minutes with no musical skills. What did he 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:02.920 do with the other twenty seven minutes? Yeah, you didn't 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.480 need to tell us you have no musical skills. I'm 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:07.960 terrible at music, but I believe I could have done 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.280 just as well. Thanks for the effort, Ulystens. You get 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:13.240 a little gold star for the effort, and never do 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:17.680 that again, Never ever do that again. It's so good 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.400 that I want to use it next week and the 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:24.920 week after that, the week after that. Oh man, oh man, 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.599 oh man. All right, let's get to the real mail. 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:32.400 Back here we go. Mike from Fullerton writes, and he says, hey, guys, 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:35.520 if Jeff Saturday decides to fill his staff with the 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.400 Colts with a bunch of TV and radio personalities. Would 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.920 either of you be interested in the job or would 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.679 you hold out for a better team than the Colts 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:48.479 that signed Mike from Fullerton? Danny, you're about to get married, 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.040 you just get you got a big time show you're 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.719 working on during the week year. Would you would you 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.320 go to the Colts? Well? Yeah, because I think the 0:05:55.360 --> 0:06:00.640 Colts have decent ownership and a good general manager. They've 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:05.600 had issues obviously with free agent signings and things like that, 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:10.240 but overall, good fan base, good stadium. You can turn 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.480 that sucker around and then you'd be a hero there 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:16.680 in Indianapolis. You go to the Colts even if they blow. 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.279 You go to the Colts because life's all about the 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.440 stories you pick up along the way. Can you imagine 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.640 the stories we would get Danny from being an assistant 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:28.080 coach for Saturday with the Colts who play on Sunday, 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:32.320 uh And how how crazy that would be? Absolutely? I 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.719 did my radio hit in Kansas City this week and 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.600 we were talking about Jeff Saturday, and I was like, 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.559 he ought to just put a dream team of TV 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:44.320 and radio people together, like hire Stephen as his defensive coinator. 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:46.680 You don't want to make an enemy out of me, 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:51.080 Skip Bayless. As an offensive coordinator. Colin Coward can coach 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.919 the special teams. You just hire all these guys, like 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.279 all these blowhards that are on TV and radio and 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.720 just see what they can do. Why not? That would 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:03.960 be awesome, be be so good. Florio could be picking coach. 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.279 Yeah yeah, Floria would be. He'd be in charge of 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.400 yeah yeah, the punter and the none no, the person 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.760 the long snapper. He's in charge of the long snapper 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:16.080 or the person that runs out to take the t 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.840 off the field. That guy, Uh, that's what he does 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:23.280 there and he the crowd goes wild. Oh yeah, yeah, 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:27.480 that's diarrhea. All right. Next, this is the actual mail 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:34.320 bag come back. It's from now Caol Barry in Nashville says, 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.880 yo yo, mob Benny being a big time star that 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:41.200 you guys are. Have you ever had folks come up 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.600 to you when you were out in public and ask 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.800 for a picture or an autograph? And if so, is 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:51.640 this frightening or flattering? It has not happened that often. 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:55.640 It does happen every once in a while. It happened 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:59.640 in the days way before Twitter. It's happened a little 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:01.440 bit more because people see what we look like now 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:05.560 because of the videos the company makes and things like that. Uh, 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:08.480 And it's it's never been frightening. I've never been frightened 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:12.760 by it. I don't think I've always been flattered. I 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:16.200 have had people come to me, usually it's like Staples 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.520 I used to be Staples Center or Dodger Stadium, some 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.840 sports venue, because that's you know, that's our meat and potatoes. 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.960 Danny is sports and so. But I did have somebody 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.160 come up to me Tito's Tacos, which was pretty cool. 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:31.000 This this taco shop in Culver City, and they recognized 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.839 me from the radio, and so that was that was 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.960 kind of neat. But I've never it's never been where 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:38.920 I've been like like scared. Some of the people have 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:42.280 been very interesting and and I'll say that, but I 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.120 don't like scared would be the way. I'm a pretty 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.280 big guy. I think I can kind of protect myself 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:48.679 for the most part. So I'm not really frightened by 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:52.000 too much. And it's it's nice that someone thinks you're 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:53.840 cool enough they want to get a picture with you, 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.920 or the the autograph thing. What about you, Danny you've 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.600 worked in radio a long time, have you been recognized? 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:04.160 And about Uh, well, the late nineties to about two 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:08.800 thousand three, I had that really nice run at k 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:12.200 C a q SO doing morning drive, especially for that 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.080 hip hop R and B radio station. I was like 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.280 their version of Big Boy at Power one oh six. 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.160 Back in the day. It was like, you know, a 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.320 lot of pictures and stuff like that, especially when you 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.160 were out at remote. And the one thing that was 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:31.719 embarrassing though, is we had like Body Solutions and m 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:35.160 D Weight Control as sponsors that we had to read 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.400 during morning drive. Right. So, I remember one time I'm 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:43.040 sitting in port Waynini, California, at Carls Jr. And I'm 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.520 about to take a huge bite out of a Western 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:49.880 Bacon cheeseburger and I hear somebody from behind me say 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:56.640 that m D Weight Controls coming in handy. Huh. So 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:02.160 as many autographs and picture that occurred, I also had 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.880 a lot of moments like that where people were watching 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.720 you for all the wrong reasons. Yeah. Well, I did 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:12.160 the Body Shaper Body Solutions commercials. We were number two 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.560 in the market in l A. The only show that 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.280 sold more of that was Howard Stern, who was the 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.200 number one show in the market. We were not the 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.840 number one show in the market, but we did very 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:24.840 well with that. And I had the same thing Danny, 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.480 and I was really I was like I was as fat. 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:29.520 I was a double wide trailer when I was doing 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:35.040 this and I was not losing weight. And people would 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.040 come up to me at remote as well, you're doing 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:39.120 the commercials, you said you're losing weight. You look as 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:43.000 fat as ever. You know that kind of like it 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:47.280 was so embarrassing. And that Body Solutions, you remember one 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:51.800 teaspoon before bed and it does all the work. Oh yeah, 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:57.439 it was. Yeah. But the gimmick and I can we 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:59.280 say it now the statue of limitations is run out. 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.840 I think we can say it. Sales staff made us 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:03.800 do it. No, no, we didn't want to do it, 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:05.480 but they told us to do it. And the whole 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:10.120 gimmick was don't eat three hours before bed. And then 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:13.000 it was essentially it caused you this ship. It gave 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:16.360 you the Mona Zuma's revenge. And then so you first 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:17.960 of all, if you don't eat three hours before bed, 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.640 you're gonna lose weight anyone, right, I mean that they 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.440 tell you don't eat before bed your stomachs. So a 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.600 lot of people eat right before better they'll get a snack. 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:27.839 And that's just people like to eat whatever. And I 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:29.760 was the same way up until a few years back 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:32.079 when I stopped. But but if you don't eat three 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:33.720 hours before bed, you're gonna lose weight. And then they 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.520 whatever you ate, they'll have you shipped out. And so 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.960 there you go. That's that's how that work. Remember, for 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.920 a little while, they're fat blockers were all the rage, 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.680 and that's what m D Wake Control did. I would 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:50.400 take the fat blockers with with my meal and then 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.840 based on what the meal was, all this orange oil 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:57.640 would come out of your orifice is and it was 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:00.120 so nasty that it made you not want to ever 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.800 eat a slice of pizza because then you really had 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:08.160 an orange oil spill. Yeah, I have that obstacle since 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:09.760 my goal bladder went out. I guess I have my 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:13.040 own natural fat blocker because I have what if I 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:14.760 if I go too long with the fast and I 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:18.440 because my gall bladder it does kind of look that 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:23.640 that direction. But we're talking about ship Verry asked about 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:27.200 about autographs and pictures. We're talking about taking a dump 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:33.680 and the fat blockers and all this the beauty of 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:38.920 the men an all connected. Yeah, it's the hip bones 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:46.360 connected to Yeah, you know that whole thing, the bone song. Yeah, exactly, man, 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.520 all right, Next up, Jet who fled? This is the 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:51.760 real jet who fled, not to be confused with the 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.360 fake jet who fled. This is the authentic jet who fled. 0:12:55.000 --> 0:13:00.880 And he writes, he says, guys, what percentage of people 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:05.439 in in your life are you comfortable talking politics and 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:12.040 religion with? Now that's a great question. I don't talk 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:16.920 religion with pretty much anybody, uh In in in the 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:23.600 circle politics I have. I have a group of people 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.800 who are aligned with my beliefs politically, who we we 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.960 text and things like that. Then I have a group 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:34.160 of people who are on the extreme on the other side, 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.920 and then I'll we'll go back and forth and bust 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:40.400 each other's chops some of those people. But I but oh, 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:45.319 that's your scientology group chat. Yeah exactly, uh so. But 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:46.840 but no, I mean, for the most part, I don't 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:48.800 just like with my regular friends. I mean, do we 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:52.440 talk about politics. No, we don't talk about politics. We 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:54.920 don't talk about religion because I learned not to talk 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.560 about politics and not to talk about religion. Uh, and 0:13:57.600 --> 0:13:59.760 these are these are taboo subjects, and so yet I 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:04.960 don't usually do that, um, just to avoid the because 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:06.640 you don't know where people sit on that. And then 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.839 if you if they if they're really hardcore into politics 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:12.080 and I'm not like people think I'm hard I'm not hardcore, 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.800 and apolitics, I'm interested. As I've gotten older, I've gotten 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.720 more interested in politics, but I'm I think the whole 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.120 world's fucked it politically, so I don't really spend that 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.960 much time worried about it. Uh. And then the religious stuff, yeah, yeah, 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:25.680 you'll have thoughts, and so as you get older, you 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:27.320 think more about that, you know, and you wonder what's 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.200 going on and all that, But I don't. I don't 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.960 obsess about any of that stuff. What about you, Danny. 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.240 I never thought I would ever talk about any of 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:37.200 that on the radio until I met this man named 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:43.520 Clay Travis. And Clay could turn any conversation political talk, 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.400 and there would be mornings where behind the scenes we'd 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.920 be saying, please don't come to us, Please don't come 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.160 to us, Please don't come to the crew, please please 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.240 please don't ask the crew what we think about this, 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:56.920 and then he would stop and he'd say, let me 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:05.080 go to the crew. What say you guys boxing man boxing? Yeah? Yeah, 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.400 And you know, a lot of the times I disagreed 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.360 with him, which made for a good conversation. There were 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:13.160 other times I agreed with them, you know, back and forth. 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:16.720 But he liked that because he would always say, am 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.800 I nuts? Am I nuts? Here? Yeah? Actually in this 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.800 case you are nuts. But yeah, most of the time, Ben, 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.560 You're right. In the world that we work in, you 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.520 don't talk about religion, especially not on the air, and 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:33.560 you don't talk about politics. Yeah, exactly, And people generally, 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:35.840 I know, Clay did his thing and he worked out well. 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.480 He got the Russia limbob job Russia's share, which is 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:43.880 an amazing compliment to the Clay. But usually people tune in. 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:45.600 They don't want to hear any of that, you know, 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:48.080 to what we do. They want to hear us breakdown 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:51.880 how fed up the astros are something like that, or 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:55.320 talk football for the most part. Jed also says, do 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:58.880 you think merging the machine emerging with machines, brain ships, 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.960 et cetera is a why his idea, as well as 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:08.720 the prolification of all things AI, Well, anything can be 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:11.200 good or bad. Yeah, that's I think, like you look 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:14.480 at like nuclear weapons. They were designed to be good 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.640 right in theory, they were good. Now they can be 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:21.080 used terribly wrong, and depends who's in charge of said 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:27.600 nuclear weapons. But I think it is amazing the technology 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:30.320 that is right around the corner where there are people 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.000 right now that are paralyzed, there are people that are blind, 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.479 there are people that have all these these lifetime illnesses 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:41.360 that with the proper micro chip will be able to 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.480 see or be able to walk again. I think that 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:47.200 is amazing. And how how are we to stop that 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:50.800 from happening? How are we to say that can happen now? 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:55.240 At the same time, that technology can be used for 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:59.200 really bad But does the good outweigh the bad? And 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:02.040 I think the good does outweigh the bad. And that 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:05.119 and then we're all getting older, and the idea that 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:08.400 certain things could cause us to live a better life, 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:10.800 a better quality of life, have us live longer. I 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:15.399 think that's a wonderful thing. And as far as the AI, 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:20.240 I'm not I'm not spooked out by it. I think 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.359 the balance has to be I'd much rather deal with 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:26.480 the human being than than Ai. But I do know 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:28.240 when I go to the grocery store, I like doing 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.000 the self checkout thing or whatever. My side. I don't 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:31.680 think that's a I but I like doing my own 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:35.480 thing and all that. Uh. And then he says, lastly, 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:37.639 most importantly, will the Seminoles beat the Gators in a 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:41.919 couple of weeks? Yes, for you, I hope that that happens. Danny. 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:45.639 What were you at on brain chips? You pro brain ship, 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:49.320 anti brain chip? Yeah, I'm with you. If it helps 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:53.359 people with ailments, that's awesome. Now, I can't think of 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:54.840 the name of the show. I think it was a 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:59.120 Netflix show where if you had an issue with your 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.399 body or body part, they would turn that part of 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:06.440 your body into a robot to keep you alive. So 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:12.359 everybody walking around had certain degrees of electronics. Now I 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:15.520 like that, Ben, because my lower back has been barking lately, 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:18.400 and if they could just take out my lower back 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:22.600 and put robotics there, dude, I'd be set. I'd go 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:25.879 play nerve football again. So you've got your lower back, 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:28.400 I've got my right knee, which is all screwed up. 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.480 We're doing pretty well over here, Danny, doing good. Right, 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.520 life's good. Well, the good thing if when you go 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:36.560 to Hawaii here just stay in the water, you you 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:39.880 won't feel any pain. Your back will feel great. And dude, 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:43.320 I'm gonna lay out on that warm sand, stretch out 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.239 as far as I can stretch, and lay in that 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:50.119 position for hours. Now, are you guys gonna unplug? What's 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:53.480 the plan here? Are you gonna be locked in your phones? 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:56.160 You're gonna leave those behind? Like? Are you gonna limit 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:57.840 that a couple of hours a day or an hour 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:00.960 a day? Like, what's the deal? Good question. We haven't 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:05.800 talked about that yet. Suggestions, Well, my wife will laugh 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:07.840 if she hears this, because she says, you're always on 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:10.200 your phone, you know, and all that. But we had 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:13.199 in part of Hawaii we had no cell reception, so 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:15.399 we couldn't be on our phones, which was kind of cool, 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:19.840 and I think would if you could limit it to 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:21.440 you know, maybe at the end of the day you 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:23.280 check your phone to see what's going on in the world. 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:24.440 I think that would be the way to do it, 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:27.199 because just you're laying in the beach, you're swimming with 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:29.439 sea turtles, you're doing that kind of stuff. Do you 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:32.160 really want to worry about what's some douche bag on 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:34.040 on the internet talking about you know what I mean. 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:36.359 I mean, I think we're gonna have to carry the 0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:39.680 phones with us to communicate with family members who are 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:43.520 also there on the island, so kind of us Miswaukee talkies, 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:47.800 Twitter and Facebook and all that. I'm definitely gonna unplug 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:51.960 from that sort of social media. I think, Yeah, you've 0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:55.119 got to enjoy the place you live in the moment. 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:57.200 You gotta live in the moment, all right. Next one 0:19:57.240 --> 0:20:01.320 from Joe and Darcy in Florida, and the email writes, 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:03.840 Joe and Darcy right in, I only email you a 0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:05.880 few times a year, so I have to make this 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:09.000 one count. This has been bothering me for a while, 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:11.600 and I have had a theory for a while about 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:13.920 one of America's most beloved game shows, and I can 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:17.720 no longer keep my theory to myself. And Shoe and 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:20.919 Darcy right, I believe Pat say Jack might be the 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:25.160 original Marty Berg. It's an Ozark reference. Let me explain. 0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:29.479 He says, the average trip that they give away once 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:33.880 a show almost always has a value of eight thousand dollars. 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:37.240 It doesn't matter whether the trip is skiing in Vermont 0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:40.120 or going to a place like Mexico or Costa Ric. 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:45.359 Joe writes, I have been fortunate enough to to in life, 0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:47.879 he says, to have stayed in some of the very places, 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:52.040 and the math makes no sense. Wheel of fortune flies 0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:56.320 people coach not first class. On the high end, the 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:59.800 cost maybe his five dollars a ticket for two people 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:04.240 thousand dollars total. That leaves seven thousand dollars for food 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:09.199 and hotel. The hotels I've stayed in that are often 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:12.760 featured have rooms that might approach three hundred dollars a night, 0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:16.320 but often they are less than that. Assuming the high 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:21.880 end there, that leaves about fifty dollars after the hotel 0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:24.480 is dealt with. That got Joe went deep, man, He 0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:29.159 went deep, He says, Is it possible Joe and Darcy right? 0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:33.240 Is it possible that Vanna and Pat have been laundering 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:37.760 money in plain site? This could explain why Chuck Woolerine 0:21:38.000 --> 0:21:40.960 had to be removed in the early eighties. I admit 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:44.159 it might sound crazy, and I came up with this 0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:50.680 when drinking with Coda the Cat and everyone knows Coda sucks. Uh. 0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:54.199 This does not change that the This does not change that. 0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:57.840 The math, no matter how you work, it does not 0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:01.080 add up. You also have to assume that we all 0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:05.639 get some sort of corporate frequent user deal that makes 0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:10.080 the discrepancy in money even more glaring. What do you think? 0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:13.919 Have I blown the lid off a major scandal? The 0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:16.440 email rights from Joe and Darcy in Florida? Is it 0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:22.240 worthy of an investigation documentary? And will crime Lord say 0:22:22.320 --> 0:22:27.400 Jack seek vengeance on me? Please let me know again, 0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:30.199 Signed Joe and Darcy in Florida. Well, that is an 0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:33.160 unexpected email, Joe and Darcy. I've actually met pat Cy 0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:36.120 Jack a few times. He's got the greatest life, Danny 0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:42.520 pat Say Jack. He lives in the Washington, D c. Area. 0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:46.000 I think he lives in Maryland. He flies out to 0:22:46.119 --> 0:22:51.040 California like three or four times a year. And when 0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:56.879 he flies out, they film like fifty episodes a Wheel 0:22:56.880 --> 0:22:58.840 of Fortune in a week or something like that. It's 0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:02.040 a ridiculous number. And then he flies back and that's it, 0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:08.160 and and all that the game show prizes? Do they 0:23:08.240 --> 0:23:10.879 do the dollar amount for tax reasons? Is there a 0:23:10.920 --> 0:23:13.560 reason that it's always around eight thousand dollars? You think 0:23:13.600 --> 0:23:16.720 Danny's there's some kind of tax loophole. Could that be 0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:19.879 why the numbers always around the same for those prize packages. 0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:23.240 I never thought I would research something like this, but 0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:25.879 now he's piqued our interest to the point where I'm 0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:29.280 actually gonna start googling this to find out what the 0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:31.199 hell is up with that. And I would like to 0:23:31.240 --> 0:23:34.480
