Speaker 1: Kabbooms.
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 Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the a emyway. You have stumbled onto The Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour with Ben Mallor and Danny G. We are fired
Speaker 1: up to have you locked in on this podcast. Danny,
Speaker 1: a brand spanking new weekend right here in the middle
Speaker 1: of the month of September, week number two of the
Speaker 1: NFL season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you called it right. You've had the Raiders
Speaker 3: over the dirty Broncos, over the dirty Donkeys, I'll call
Speaker 3: them after those two late hits, and man, what a
Speaker 3: nice way to start the season with Jimmy G.
Speaker 1: And I started Week two last night. I know you
Speaker 1: don't care about the Minnesota Vikings, but a back door push,
Speaker 1: a back door push. The Vikings scored a touchdown with
Speaker 1: a less than two minutes. I believe you go on
Speaker 1: the clock and they ended up pushing the point spread
Speaker 1: in that game last night with the Philadelphia Eagles in
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football. On this podcast, we've got the Malor
Speaker 1: report Card of record, Gummy Bonus Benny, and maybe Scientifical Danny.
Speaker 1: We might get to all of that content, or conceivably none.
Speaker 3: Of it or half of it. That's the way it
Speaker 3: usually rolls.
Speaker 1: Hey, Exactly. I always have these big plans, and then
Speaker 1: I realized, well, no, we don't have a way of
Speaker 1: getting to everything, but we're gonna start with this. So
Speaker 1: we are headed into week number two of Benny Versus
Speaker 1: the Penny. We made our maiden voyage last week. Hopefully
Speaker 1: you had a chance to watch it. Big thanks to
Speaker 1: you if you did watch the show. And these are
Speaker 1: uncharted waters for me, and some of you have been
Speaker 1: sending questions. We have the mailbag on Sundays, so we'll
Speaker 1: go over some of some of those questions. But people
Speaker 1: have been asking interesting things about how this all all works.
Speaker 1: And as you might know, if you've been with me
Speaker 1: a long time, you know, years ago I went back
Speaker 1: to Connecticut every week we were We're not every every week,
Speaker 1: every every month, I did a week in Connecticut for
Speaker 1: about a year and I was on the NBC Sports Network,
Speaker 1: which no longer exists, that one out of business. I
Speaker 1: was a contributor to the sports talk show that they had,
Speaker 1: which kind of makes some sense, but I was just
Speaker 1: a bit player, and we had people on that show
Speaker 1: that have that that had decorated careers. Adrian Wojanowski was
Speaker 1: the basketball insider on that show. We had the late
Speaker 1: Darryl Hamilton who played with the Milwaukee Brewers. Jeremy Ronick
Speaker 1: was on there quite a bit, and some other random
Speaker 1: hockey people. But this experience Benny versus the Penny, which
Speaker 1: is just getting going right now in week number two,
Speaker 1: which begins tonight on certain cable chances. So this has
Speaker 1: been completely foreign to me and all the fluff that
Speaker 1: comes with this kind of thing. Dan, It's a whole
Speaker 1: new world. I'm used to do an overnight radio where
Speaker 1: no one even knows I'm there. There is very little promotion,
Speaker 1: there is no budget those kind of things.
Speaker 3: By here, like fifteen Ben mallor promos every afternoon when
Speaker 3: I'm in the studio area.
Speaker 1: But just in general, I don't think you're gonna see
Speaker 1: the side of a bus or billboard or anything like that.
Speaker 1: So it's a whole different operation which has kind of
Speaker 1: kind of been been crazy and stuff and got to
Speaker 1: get used to a lot of the things that are involved.
Speaker 1: There's only once a week, so it's not like it's
Speaker 1: an everyday situation. But it's always about the quality of
Speaker 1: the product, don't we always say that, Danny's the quality
Speaker 1: of the product. You gotta have a good product.
Speaker 3: Can I give you my first two takeaways from watching?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Sure.
Speaker 3: First, I love how you're on the Lakers channel.
Speaker 1: I know I saw that. Yeah, yeah, that is.
Speaker 3: Some sweet karma right there.
Speaker 1: Well, not only that, Danny, they have no other programming apparently,
Speaker 1: because that show, The Benny Versus the Penny was on
Speaker 1: in La like every three hours they were playing. The
Speaker 1: show was insane.
Speaker 3: The Lakers off season show handed off to you, so
Speaker 3: they love you. Here you are slandering the Lakers sweet
Speaker 3: organization all these years, and they're the up right now.
Speaker 1: Listen, Danny, as you know, I'm not gonna I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna bow down and genuflect. They made a wise programming decision, Danny.
Speaker 1: I will give the Lakers credit. I'm sure they had
Speaker 1: nothing to do with this, but they made a wise
Speaker 1: programming decision to put the show on. Now, the real
Speaker 1: test is going to be once the basketball season gets going,
Speaker 1: which I think is like in a couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: they're gonna have basketball and uh and then see people
Speaker 1: will actually be watching that channel once that happens, and
Speaker 1: so then the audience will will be massive, Danny, It'll
Speaker 1: be a huge, huge audience. But but no, we have
Speaker 1: the whole point the quality of the product, right, as
Speaker 1: long as the product's good, that's all you can do.
Speaker 1: You want it to stay on store shelves and you
Speaker 1: don't want it to go stale and all that. But
Speaker 1: we got Danny the first Malor report card on.
Speaker 3: Bab Okay, before you get to that, only I'm one
Speaker 3: other little takeaway. Okay, all right, my god, Looney couldn't
Speaker 3: can top wait to speak, Looney chomping at the bit.
Speaker 3: He interrupted you before you could even introduce him. And
Speaker 3: then I wasn't a fan of your introduction because you
Speaker 3: said the penny has never had a voice before, which
Speaker 3: made me feel like the two seasons I did on
Speaker 3: the podcast here never existed.
Speaker 1: Well, I think you misheard that. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I said exactly that. I'd have to go back and
Speaker 1: watch Sep and all that. The Voice of the Penny. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know it was a diva with you and is
Speaker 1: even more of a diva now with with Looney.
Speaker 3: Did they include that on your report card?
Speaker 1: Well, you know, we can't get into the nitty gritty.
Speaker 1: I'm giving you just a kind of a general sense here.
Speaker 1: So I had no idea to expect. My nightmare, Danny,
Speaker 1: was that no one watched. We only lasted one week,
Speaker 1: and that would be boy, that would be a nightmare.
Speaker 1: The good news we have made it to week two.
Speaker 1: And so I only have the numbers from the Boston
Speaker 1: market because that's the home station of Benny Versus the Penny,
Speaker 1: and that's where all the people I deal with kind
Speaker 1: of regularly mostly are in in Boston. There's one gentleman
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia and some other people in New York, but
Speaker 1: the people I mainly deal with are in Boston. So
Speaker 1: in the Commonwealth, and since that's where the show's produced,
Speaker 1: they have the numbers. They have all that because it
Speaker 1: comes out of NBC Sports Boston. And were the ratings
Speaker 1: up or down or all around on a week one
Speaker 1: of Benny Versus Anyway, The mal report card indicates that
Speaker 1: they were up, up, and away, Danny, So we did
Speaker 1: pretty well there. We got a really good number. The
Speaker 1: show debuted during a Red Sox game in Boston against
Speaker 1: the Red Sox game that was on Nessen And thanks
Speaker 1: to Alf the Alien, Opiner and Moving Man, Matt and
Speaker 1: all the other guys in Boston, they're fans of the show,
Speaker 1: the radio show, and they found a way to watch
Speaker 1: the TV show. We did pretty well with the first run.
Speaker 1: But more importantly, Danny, I am told that we even
Speaker 1: had a bigger audience when they rebroadcast Benny Versus The
Speaker 1: Penny a few hours later. We even had more people listening,
Speaker 1: which bodes well, which is a good sign. I doesn't
Speaker 1: mean anything. I mean the long term, who cares. But
Speaker 1: it's good because that could be word of mouth, advertising, curiosity.
Speaker 1: The big test is going to be every single week
Speaker 1: adding more eyeballs and all that stuff. But yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's uncontrollable, Danny. On this end, it's not you can
Speaker 1: just do this and then if people like it, that's great,
Speaker 1: But you can't really do anything else other than that.
Speaker 1: You can't really worry about well, I guess you could worry.
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm in an alternate universe. The Lakers
Speaker 3: present Ben Maller, who's number one in Boston.
Speaker 1: Well, I know we were number one, but we did.
Speaker 1: They were happy and uh so yeah, just keep the
Speaker 1: keep the good vibrations rolling right, keep the good vibrations.
Speaker 1: The You got to have a little bit of moxie, gumption, perseverance, uh,
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. I think so, and I look
Speaker 1: forward to seeing. I want to see how the show does.
Speaker 1: And see we are in Chicago. I know at least
Speaker 1: we had. My cousin in Chicago is watching, so I
Speaker 1: know we had that. And I have heard from a
Speaker 1: couple of people in Philadelphia that we're watching. So so
Speaker 1: that's good. So we'll see what comes to this now. Uh,
Speaker 1: imagine my surprise, Danny, when a couple of weeks ago
Speaker 1: I got an email from NBC. I think it was
Speaker 1: actually last week. So I click it open, and this
Speaker 1: is from an account that I had not really dealt with,
Speaker 1: and it said, now that you have been hired, now
Speaker 1: that you have been put on the payroll over there,
Speaker 1: that you have to take care of some things. Now.
Speaker 1: As you know, Danny, I do not check the work
Speaker 1: email at iHeart, which is my main home. I don't
Speaker 1: really check the work email at all Disneyland for years.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I do want to thank you.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it'll come up at some point. But you
Speaker 1: did reach out to me about an event and I
Speaker 1: was unable to attend. But I do appreciate that you
Speaker 1: did reach out about said events. So sorry, I open
Speaker 1: this email.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: The reason I get these emails is because they're the
Speaker 1: email that they have on file is my main personal
Speaker 1: email address, so they just send everything there. I told
Speaker 1: him this says, that's it, that's my email. I'm not
Speaker 1: you know whatever, and they were like, I don't, we
Speaker 1: don't care, you know, send the stuff to you your email.
Speaker 1: So this is the gummy situation, the famous doublemint gum,
Speaker 1: double your pleasure, double your fun. So I got the
Speaker 1: email that I had to do workplace training.
Speaker 3: Boo, yeah, like the sexual harassment videos and all that.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes exactly, except unlike our training which is
Speaker 1: now mostly just all online, just have to watch the
Speaker 1: videos online, this was in person, so I had to
Speaker 1: go down to Universal Studios.
Speaker 3: They like, take your hand and show you what body
Speaker 3: part not to mail.
Speaker 1: They give you a doll and say, where did they
Speaker 1: hurt you? No? But but no, there was like training
Speaker 1: like with like a person big shot. I don't know
Speaker 1: big shot, just somebody that does a class. And so
Speaker 1: they had certain times and I picked the latest one
Speaker 1: I could go to. The problem was from where I
Speaker 1: live in the north Woods, there was no good time
Speaker 1: to get to the universal lot. So it took a
Speaker 1: fair amount. I mean, it essentially took three hours to
Speaker 1: do a one hour class. So that really sucked. And
Speaker 1: I am now because of my iHeart training and now
Speaker 1: this other stuff that I've done this week, I consider
Speaker 1: myself a Rhodes Scholar when it comes to human resources
Speaker 1: training at major media corporation. So I am two for two.
Speaker 1: My big takeaway, though, here's the big takeaway on this
Speaker 1: is that all you really need to know and I
Speaker 1: thought this before, but I've gotten confirmation. All you really
Speaker 1: need to know you learned in kindergarten. Like I'm looking
Speaker 1: at this like the class that I took, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: and these are all like cubicle people. These are not
Speaker 1: people like us, Danny, that work in the in the
Speaker 1: broadcast world. These are these are people that have, like
Speaker 1: you know, regular nine to five gigs. This happened to
Speaker 1: work over there, and so I'm surrounded by these people
Speaker 1: and the class is going on and all that. But
Speaker 1: it's really just like stuff you learned in kindergarten. The
Speaker 1: world would be much better if people as adults just
Speaker 1: followed the basic rules that we learned as kids when
Speaker 1: you started kindergarten, Like keep your hands to yourself. I
Speaker 1: think that's mainly what that training was about, right, Danny.
Speaker 1: Just keep your hands to yourself.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: You should probably share some stuff, but not your fans.
Speaker 3: Keep your fingers out of your nose.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, clean up after yourself, don't take stuff that's
Speaker 1: not yours. Wash your hands right as you said, flush
Speaker 1: the toilet was a big one. And and what's when
Speaker 1: you're a kid to balance things you have to have.
Speaker 1: You have to balance schoolwork, play and I guess learning.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess that would be the work
Speaker 1: when you're a kid, So something along those lines. But yeah,
Speaker 1: So that was the the big training. And then skid
Speaker 1: daddle off to Chavez Ravine. But I got there a
Speaker 1: little late, so I didn't get my good seat. I
Speaker 1: usually I get there early. I get a really good seat.
Speaker 1: I am such a radio loser. And I didn't get
Speaker 1: there early, so I did not have a glorious seat,
Speaker 1: which is, you know whatever, it's fine, crap happens, right.
Speaker 3: What are you going to do?
Speaker 1: And then continuing on with this line of thinking, I
Speaker 1: did have one other note, this being the Friday edition
Speaker 1: of The Fifth Hour, I will be making a bonus appearance, Danny,
Speaker 1: in a pathetic attempt to try to get more people
Speaker 1: to watch this Benny versus the Penny TV show. I
Speaker 1: am scheduled later today. I'll should be on tonight in Boston.
Speaker 1: I think this show airs at six o'clock in the
Speaker 1: Boston market. If you have direct TV you can watch
Speaker 1: that as well. And I'm scheduled to go on a
Speaker 1: show called The Weekly Spread. Now I don't know much
Speaker 1: about the show. It's got Tom Giles hosts the show,
Speaker 1: and it's a gambling show. So it's kind of like
Speaker 1: the show that I do.
Speaker 3: Boy, when you said the title of the show, I
Speaker 3: thought it was something else.
Speaker 1: Well, it depends what websites you're looking at, Danny. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but no, So I'm gonna go on there and it's
Speaker 1: gonna be really quick. It's like a five minute pop
Speaker 1: and I'll go on there and I'll just try to
Speaker 1: mention Benny versus the penny as many times as I
Speaker 1: can possibly mention. That's the goal, Just try over and over.
Speaker 1: I'll try to like every sentence. Instead Danny of mentioning
Speaker 1: like just stopping with the period, I will just go
Speaker 1: into okay, and I'll have more on that on Benny
Speaker 1: versus the penny, like that kind of thing, like just
Speaker 1: over the top.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Like Ben, what do you expect in week
Speaker 3: two for the NFL? And you'll say, well, it's funny
Speaker 3: you asked because on Benny versus the penny.
Speaker 1: Exactly that's the plan. So we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 1: But I'm looking forward to that and any promotion. You know, Dan,
Speaker 1: I am willing to do anything. I will sit on
Speaker 1: a billboard whatever you want. I'll go in a hot
Speaker 1: air balloon, all of that stuff for quality promotion. Last
Speaker 1: week I bought a dog and I needed an emotion.
Speaker 1: It's all about the quality of the promotion.
Speaker 3: Will'd be like rod Tidwell, will you ride a camel
Speaker 3: in a TV commercial?
Speaker 1: If you say show me the body? If I say that,
Speaker 1: and then you show me the money, and I want
Speaker 1: a camel. Dare you, What a time to be alive, Danny,
Speaker 1: What a time to be alive? A wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, glorious. Now,
Speaker 1: speaking of glorious, it's all about the science, Dand it's
Speaker 1: not the sweet science, the actual science. So we have
Speaker 1: to get cy and difficult. What do you say, si?
Speaker 3: Science?
Speaker 1: All right, So these are some random science stories that
Speaker 1: I have uncovered, and we have uncovered from scouring the
Speaker 1: dark web.
Speaker 3: Oh, please tell me we're going to talk about the
Speaker 3: alien mummies.
Speaker 1: Uh? Oh, you want to go to Mexico. We can
Speaker 1: start with that if you want. Yeah, we go, We
Speaker 1: go to Mexico. And yeah, yeah, we've talked a lot.
Speaker 1: There's so many stories every week about extraterrestrials and what's
Speaker 1: going on, and so the story if you didn't hear
Speaker 1: about it, by chance, maybe you didn't catch up with it.
Speaker 1: This week, coming out of Mexico, a mysterious corpse went
Speaker 1: on display and scientists were trying to figure out what
Speaker 1: was going on, whether or not these are extraterrestrials there supposedly.
Speaker 1: I read the story. It said, non human alien corpses
Speaker 1: dating back one thousand years found in Peru have big eyes. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so I'm looking at the photo here. They've got very
Speaker 1: they look like they're fun size, they got very small bodies.
Speaker 3: On our podcast, we have said that pretty much the
Speaker 3: movie Men in Black is real, and these little guys
Speaker 3: remind me of the alien that was inside the head
Speaker 3: of that person that opened up.
Speaker 1: Remember, yes, I do. Yeah, that's not that's not bad.
Speaker 1: So these things have a supply. I mean based on
Speaker 1: the picture. They have three fingered hands, they have this
Speaker 1: weird skull. You know what they look like to me,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get some Reese's pieces, Danny g and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna get my bicycle and put a little
Speaker 1: basket in the front and get a get a towel
Speaker 1: or a plank gate, and I'm gonna I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: hang out with e T is what I'm I'm gonna.
Speaker 1: Obviously they're not as.
Speaker 3: What's that there were little e T wind up toys?
Speaker 1: Yeah, was at its height exactly.
Speaker 3: You're right. They kind of look like that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And so they're they're claiming the story says these mummified specimens.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: They they went into detail. They said they had in
Speaker 1: their in their stomach. How how can they, Danny, how
Speaker 1: can they tell it's been supposedly a thousand years give
Speaker 1: this is even real?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: Who knows? But they claim that they in their stomachs,
Speaker 1: they they found the remains of rare metals and eggs
Speaker 1: in their internal cavities. What, yeah, it doesn't it doesn't
Speaker 1: It look like it's made out of clay too kind
Speaker 1: of you.
Speaker 3: Know, I guess because they're mummified.
Speaker 1: Oh is that that would be why? I guess?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And it does to me. The face looks like et
Speaker 1: what if e T was also a real move based
Speaker 1: on a real story, and the creature that they used
Speaker 1: was actually just a copy of a real alien. Now
Speaker 1: that would be cool.
Speaker 3: Could be? Remember the famous story of Drew Barrymore because
Speaker 3: she was what a kindergartener at the time, and when
Speaker 3: she was filming that movie, she thought that the little
Speaker 3: alien was real?
Speaker 1: Wow? How old was she? She was a little kid
Speaker 1: right when that was going on.
Speaker 3: She was like, I think she was four or five?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, if you're four or five, yeah, I
Speaker 1: got you. They said these were found they were in
Speaker 1: the city city in Peru in twenty seventeen, so they
Speaker 1: had X rays and found the eggs in the in
Speaker 1: the stomach and I so I assume this came up
Speaker 1: on Cavino and Rich. Yes, you guys probably talked about
Speaker 1: this this week, a.
Speaker 3: Little bit of alien talks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always good to go with the alien talk
Speaker 1: there and so like what is like, I didn't see
Speaker 1: the rest of the story. Like, so they showed the bodies,
Speaker 1: the photo went around. They had some experts talk like,
Speaker 1: is that it the story ends right there? That's all.
Speaker 3: Wait, by the way, I just looked it up. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Drew Barrymore was seven. Now that's too old.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're seven. You're you're not.
Speaker 3: Summary I thought I remember thinking she was younger than that.
Speaker 3: Seven And you think that little plastic guy that you're
Speaker 3: doing the scene with is real? Get out of here.
Speaker 1: Come on, unless you unless you lived in a shoe
Speaker 1: box or something like that, you know, down by the.
Speaker 3: River seven years old. You and I were already placing bets.
Speaker 1: We were all over it at age seven, man, we
Speaker 1: were running around the neighborhood, the whole thing going on.
Speaker 1: So now dam uh, you know, talking about the alien stuff.
Speaker 1: Do you think we could pull off a scam if
Speaker 1: we went to some far away country and we dressed
Speaker 1: up like scientists and we put some papers together that
Speaker 1: looked like they were from academia that world. And we
Speaker 1: had some like prop people, some Hollywood prop people, because
Speaker 1: they're not making movies right now because everyone's on strike.
Speaker 1: We hired them and they made something kind of similar
Speaker 1: to what they had in Mexico, but we'll crank it
Speaker 1: up a couple of notches, was some color detail, and
Speaker 1: like the whole bit would be that these aliens, they're
Speaker 1: from somewhere far far away in the cosmos. We don't
Speaker 1: know where, but they don't the bodies when they die,
Speaker 1: don't you know how the human body kind of falls
Speaker 1: apart and you know you're rot, but they don't rot,
Speaker 1: So the materials are all the same from even though
Speaker 1: they're not living. And then we can have like a
Speaker 1: really cool looking alien thing. But if we sell it,
Speaker 1: I think, I mean that could work, right, We could
Speaker 1: pull that off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, with all this alien news we've seen
Speaker 3: the past couple of years, especially, nobody would bat an eye.
Speaker 3: Everybody acts like this is all just normal news. Now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, everyone's just worried about the next story, so they
Speaker 1: don't pay attention. But I did see NASA had that
Speaker 1: news conference yesterday on Thursday, and they are like, well,
Speaker 1: we have no proof of anything, but we might not
Speaker 1: be alone. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw that they think there's life on some
Speaker 3: it's like in between some star K two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and NASA says it cannot rule out that alien
Speaker 1: technology also is operating in the Earth's atmosphere. So they
Speaker 1: said they talked out of both sides of their mouth. Dan,
Speaker 1: from what I read, they on one side, they're like,
Speaker 1: you have no evidence, no direct evidence. But to me,
Speaker 1: the math on this is rather as we talked about
Speaker 1: this on the fifth hour, Danny like, did you you
Speaker 1: know sometimes late at night, if you go outside the
Speaker 1: city lights and you go out into the desert or
Speaker 1: where we live in California, you go out away from
Speaker 1: the big cities and you look up to the sky.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's impossible to think that there's
Speaker 1: nothing else out there.
Speaker 3: Here's the headline. Web telescope detect possible signs of life
Speaker 3: on distance planet, located about one hundred and twenty light
Speaker 3: years from Earth in the constellation Leo K two eighteen
Speaker 3: B lies within the habital zone to a nearby star.
Speaker 1: So is this one of those things? There there is life,
Speaker 1: but we will never be able to get to that place, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you find it, but we'll never.
Speaker 3: Be able to get there. But it's light years away.
Speaker 3: I guess we would have to communicate with them through radio.
Speaker 1: Yes, we'll do. We'll send a Why I can't even
Speaker 1: send a podcast, We'll have to send to the satellite
Speaker 1: stream far far out.
Speaker 3: George, nowhere you do a podcast? Yeah?
Speaker 1: George. George is a multi media man. He does everything podcast.
Speaker 1: He's got his own like Coast to Coast network, which
Speaker 1: I'm jealous of. They have like a club I think
Speaker 1: they have. I was listening to Coast to Coast. I
Speaker 1: listen sometimes because they replay the show out here where
Speaker 1: we are on KFI and LA so I listen sometimes.
Speaker 1: And they had like a Coast the Coast club where
Speaker 1: people signed up. I think you pay a couple of
Speaker 1: bucks a month. That's next level, next level. So that's
Speaker 1: kind of cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I looked it up. It says Beyond Belief with
Speaker 3: George Nori four hundred plus episodes.
Speaker 1: Ooh nice, you know we love George. George, George, George,
Speaker 1: George George. This has got to be wonderful for those we.
Speaker 3: Got to get him back on with everything that's happened
Speaker 3: since he was a guest. I would love to talk
Speaker 3: with you again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I'll have to try to schedule something with
Speaker 1: the great George norri An icon of the Late Night
Speaker 1: I love that. What else do we have in scientifical Well,
Speaker 1: here's something to look forward to, Danny, when our bodies
Speaker 1: start disintegrating in a few years we get older. They
Speaker 1: have successfully had a pig kidney transplanted into a human.
Speaker 1: It lasted for two months. That is a brand new
Speaker 1: record and they always put the world could in these stories.
Speaker 1: But this could be a breakthrough for future organ donations.
Speaker 1: So you can get like a kidney from a pig.
Speaker 1: Now what I would like to do is get like
Speaker 1: some strength from a bear. Wouldn't that be cool?
Speaker 2: Or a lion.
Speaker 1: If you're gonna if you're going to take body parts
Speaker 1: and organs and things from different creatures, don't you want
Speaker 1: to go at the very top? Uh, the pig is
Speaker 1: not at the top of the food chain. Wouldn't you
Speaker 1: want to go higher up on the food chain? I would.
Speaker 3: I would like my stomach switched out for a grizzly stomach.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they any anything, right, the grizzlies. Let's go
Speaker 1: for it.
Speaker 3: Shout down, man, no, no more acid reflux.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's that's that's a fair point. Yeah, well I
Speaker 1: can get a nice flowing head of hair from I
Speaker 1: guess uh, well the lion, right, the lion has the
Speaker 1: great the mame. It would be the way to go. There,
Speaker 1: the last one we'll get out on this for scientifical
Speaker 1: red fire ants, one of the most invasive speecies species
Speaker 1: out there has stormed Europe. And I love the quote
Speaker 1: in this story, and the quote is we knew this
Speaker 1: day would come. It's like storming the beaches of Normandy.
Speaker 1: We knew this day would come, is the money quote there.
Speaker 1: And it's great. And they've established at least eighty eight
Speaker 1: nest across twelve acres of land in a city in
Speaker 1: the city of Syracuse in Sicily. Who knew there was
Speaker 1: a town called Syracuse in Sicily. You think they have
Speaker 1: orange men there? Maybe I have no idea. So there
Speaker 1: you go. They're freaking out in Sicily because of fire ants.
Speaker 1: The scientists are like, man, I'm looking at these little buggers, dude.
Speaker 3: Those fire ants are no joke. In rialto California, when
Speaker 3: we were little kids, me and my older brother, we
Speaker 3: would take tomato worms and we would feed them to
Speaker 3: the ant hills and those red fire ants. O. Man,
Speaker 3: they were gangster watching them take over a worm and
Speaker 3: pull it down the hole.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I've never experienced the fire ant. But it says
Speaker 1: they have a very painful sting.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Is there a non painful sting? It says they inflict
Speaker 1: when they feel threatened.
Speaker 3: It feels like a beasting.
Speaker 1: They say it occasionally can lead to anaphylactic shock. So
Speaker 1: oh that's good. Yeah, there you go. And I'm looking
Speaker 1: at a map here of where these buggers are supposed
Speaker 1: to go around Europe, which is you know, I don't
Speaker 1: I'm not in Europe. We have people that I love.
Speaker 1: The charts on this they've got well, by twenty fifty,
Speaker 1: all of Europe is pretty much going to be covered
Speaker 1: in fire ants. And it's great. They're analyzing. They've already
Speaker 1: analyzed wind patterns DNA tests on the Sicilian queen ant
Speaker 1: and they determined that the pest likely came from either
Speaker 1: the United States or China. US or China. Oh wow.
Speaker 1: It says there are less than one hundred known fire
Speaker 1: ant colonies in Italy, but scientists are warning that the
Speaker 1: spread will be rapid and right by the seaports there
Speaker 1: all that, so, all right, something to look forward to
Speaker 1: her for our friends that listen in Europe, we'll get
Speaker 1: out on that. It's Friday, Danny. Let you do your thing.
Speaker 1: Promote what do you got coming up today? Covino and
