Speaker 1: Kubbooms.
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 sol 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 Everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me big
Speaker 1: Man and Danny g Radio. It is our Sunday Sunday
Speaker 1: Sunday podcast. The final day we've been ado to the
Speaker 1: month of June. It is June thirtieth, as my wife's
Speaker 1: birthday carnival continues. This is the main event, Danny. Today
Speaker 1: is actually my wife's.
Speaker 3: Birthday, the actual birthday.
Speaker 1: Yes, we've already had a two weekends of birthday celebrations,
Speaker 1: but this is the crowning moment here today. And it
Speaker 1: is also it is Social Media Day today, Danny, so
Speaker 1: please celebrate appropriately on social media, which is the continuation
Speaker 1: of modern communication from the telephone, fax machine and now
Speaker 1: social media. And at last report, Danny, the average consumer
Speaker 1: spends one hundred and forty four minutes every single day
Speaker 1: on the socials one hundred and forty four minutes a
Speaker 1: day of their life every day on the social lid.
Speaker 3: What was that stat we had on the podcast about
Speaker 3: how many times we pick up and check our phone?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't It was in the hundreds, right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: people are checking. They figure that out. It's like it's
Speaker 1: like the casino. You go back because you want to
Speaker 1: get that hit of dopamine because people are reacting to
Speaker 1: what you posted. They're liking your pictures, they support your comment,
Speaker 1: or they respond on and so you keep going back.
Speaker 3: Right, our wives are messaging us we need to talk.
Speaker 1: Hey, yikes, yeah, we need to have a little talk.
Speaker 1: So the social media, the first social network was created
Speaker 1: in the nineties. The first super computer was in the
Speaker 1: nineteen forties. It was the size of a blimp. But
Speaker 1: in the late nineties, the first social network was created.
Speaker 1: I always think of the first social media as America Online.
Speaker 1: That's what I think of when I think of the
Speaker 1: first social media.
Speaker 3: But you know what I think of Willie Wonka and
Speaker 3: the Chocolate Factory, the original one. Remember when they go
Speaker 3: to the computer to try to figure out where the
Speaker 3: Golden tickets are hid. I am now telling the computer
Speaker 3: exactly what you can do with a lifetime supply of
Speaker 3: chocolate with the spinning reels. Yeah, yeah, that's that's what
Speaker 3: our grandparents thought a computer was.
Speaker 1: You know what you get in you get it old
Speaker 1: take it, you get a golden take.
Speaker 3: You get nothing. You lose good dayser.
Speaker 1: You get nothing, and you will be happy that you
Speaker 1: get nothing at all. Yeah. The the community. It's like
Speaker 1: cell phones. I saw I was on speaking of social media,
Speaker 1: I was on Instagram putting something on there the other
Speaker 1: day and this thing popped up. It got on my
Speaker 1: algorithm and it was a commercial for the first cell phones.
Speaker 1: This goes back to the late this maybe mid eighties
Speaker 1: to buy it radio shack and it was thirteen hundred
Speaker 1: dollars and it was seemed outrageous. Thirteen hundred dollars. Now
Speaker 1: today the cell phone and iPhone, when you if you
Speaker 1: depending on what you get, it's actually not that far
Speaker 1: away from thirteen hundred dollars. But back then that was
Speaker 1: a ridiculous amount of money. With inflation, it would be
Speaker 1: like four thousand dollars or something like that. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: in today's money. And they were like phone books, they
Speaker 1: were bricks, they were big burly things, the original cell
Speaker 1: phones and not. But as far as social media, Facebook
Speaker 1: went live, created by well, created by a couple of
Speaker 1: twins and stole them by Mark Zuckerberg according to the
Speaker 1: Internet and two thousand and four. Twitter started a few
Speaker 1: years after that or now it's x and then years
Speaker 1: after that, TikTok came around. I'm oldings remember my Space
Speaker 1: when that was a thing. YouTube was created in twenty
Speaker 1: five so that was that was a big, a big deal.
Speaker 1: So we have National Social Media Day today, get on
Speaker 1: the Twitter, and then in March we have National Day
Speaker 1: of Unplugging, or people for twenty four hours are supposed
Speaker 1: to turn their phones off. Now, three point five billion
Speaker 1: people use social media. Sixty eight percent of the US
Speaker 1: population used Facebook, and the average per day on social
Speaker 1: media about about three out one hundred and forty four
Speaker 1: minutes every every single day. Five hundred million. That's the
Speaker 1: number of people using Instagram stories each day. Sixty billion
Speaker 1: on the WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. And I got all
Speaker 1: kinds of stats and numbers and all that.
Speaker 3: There's so sevy crazy number about how many people are
Speaker 3: on Facebook. Because a few days ago, nobody was talking
Speaker 3: about the debate on Facebook.
Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah, yeah, Well there really is no debate
Speaker 1: because it's one of those things if you liked something before,
Speaker 1: you're still gonna like it, and you're just going to
Speaker 1: attack the other other side. So it's like it's a
Speaker 1: futile event.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And like you hate seeing your aunt arguing with
Speaker 3: a stranger or one of your friends about politics, Like,
Speaker 3: get off of Facebook. Now.
Speaker 1: It's funny because I forget where I was, but I
Speaker 1: was having a conversation with a friend. His wife was there.
Speaker 1: We were talking about somebody that we both knew from
Speaker 1: years ago who had been on some panel during the
Speaker 1: Trump administration. He was on some advisory panel for President Trump,
Speaker 1: and just mentioning that name. I got a guffaw the
Speaker 1: shock from the person's wife, like, oh you mentioned Trump's name.
Speaker 1: It's like oh, I was like, well what am I?
Speaker 1: What am I supposed to not mention the name? I mean,
Speaker 1: it was just very, very hard. But we have the
Speaker 1: mail bag, Danny, are you ready for the mail bag?
Speaker 3: I know Trump is ready? Oh did I say his name?
Speaker 3: Trump is ready?
Speaker 1: I really don't know what he said at the end
Speaker 1: of this, and I don't think he knows what he
Speaker 1: said either. Third rail. Mo man, that's a third rail.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to drug test you, third rail.
Speaker 3: My man, my man, you just made the overall rating
Speaker 3: go down by one point.
Speaker 1: My man, my man, it's broadcasting, not narrow casting. What's
Speaker 1: wrong with you? All right, let's get to it. Ohiou,
Speaker 1: it's tona, thank you, ohio. Wow. These are actual letters
Speaker 1: from actual listeners the show. If you would like to
Speaker 1: join the mail bag fund, send me a message Real
Speaker 1: fifth hour at gmail dot com. That's Real fifth Hour
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com, and you can play along on
Speaker 1: the mail bag. We may read your question. Make sure
Speaker 1: you put your name first and your city. The perfect
Speaker 1: email message would be you know Mike from Chicago. Boom,
Speaker 1: here's the question. Sometimes what I get is no name,
Speaker 1: and then I have to just go by the email
Speaker 1: and you don't say what or you'll say your name
Speaker 1: and you won't tell me where you're friend. I'll just
Speaker 1: say from parts unknown. If you don't include your name,
Speaker 1: Dom who is in he says Fort Lauderdale adjacent? Hey,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny, I love your guys shows, respectively. Question
Speaker 1: for you, Ben, what happens behind the scenes when a
Speaker 1: caller curses on your show. I heard it a couple
Speaker 1: of times this past week. Well, thank you, Dom for
Speaker 1: listening and paying attention when people say bad words on
Speaker 1: the show.
Speaker 3: First, we all scream and wring our hands.
Speaker 1: What is supposed to happen, Dom, is you don't hear
Speaker 1: people cursing on the show. That is what is supposed
Speaker 1: to happen. Because we have these giant game show buzzers
Speaker 1: that are in front of us that we're supposed to
Speaker 1: press if somebody says a knotty word and all that.
Speaker 1: But every once in a while one slips past the goaltender,
Speaker 1: and normally what happens is there's a lot of finger pointing.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of denials, there's a lot of it
Speaker 1: ain't my fault, it's that guy's fault. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of shoulder shrugs that take place. Uh, it's it's it's all.
Speaker 1: We had one this week, and to me, this is
Speaker 1: if you get in trouble for saying the S word.
Speaker 1: Come on, really, are people really getting in trouble Danny's
Speaker 1: saying the S word?
Speaker 3: It is so outdated that one word, especially, and you know,
Speaker 3: I had a general manager come to my programming office
Speaker 3: one day and he's like, you know, this morning a
Speaker 3: shit an shi T He said he was a weenie.
Speaker 3: He's like an s h I T slipped out over
Speaker 3: on the air with one of your callers and I said, no, no, no.
Speaker 3: His dog was next to him and he said, sit,
Speaker 3: I don't think he bought it.
Speaker 2: Uh No.
Speaker 1: Well, the good news dom is the time we are on.
Speaker 1: I am the captain of the Safe Harbor. There is
Speaker 1: a provision. There's no such thing in the FCC. Oh,
Speaker 1: I've done my FCC training. I have done my FCC training.
Speaker 1: Not this year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, forward forward forward exactly, but arrow forward.
Speaker 1: But they have all these rules that US broadcasters are
Speaker 1: supposed to follow, the obscene, indecent and profane broadcast rules
Speaker 1: with the FCC.
Speaker 3: And you never skip forward in those videos, right.
Speaker 1: No, I am an honest employee who But Save Harbor
Speaker 1: means that when you're on late at night like we are,
Speaker 1: when normally kids and church going women are not listening,
Speaker 1: you are then able to have a little more leeway
Speaker 1: with the language that takes takes place on the radio.
Speaker 1: So we're we have a little more leeway. Now, Save
Speaker 1: Harbor is from ten pm to six am, and those
Speaker 1: are the hours during which broadcasts like those that we do,
Speaker 1: commercial broadcasting transmits. You can transmit material deemed indecent for
Speaker 1: for the kids, for the kids, because it's the safe
Speaker 1: armor and that that was established by We talked about
Speaker 1: this actually on this show, the Supreme Court versus Supreme
Speaker 1: Court case FCC versus pacifica broadcasting company, and the FCC
Speaker 1: guardian is the guardian of the on air broadcast and
Speaker 1: all that. People don't understand though. Some cable television not
Speaker 1: guarded by FCC rules, so it's different on cable television
Speaker 1: than over the air television. And podcasting is not governed
Speaker 1: by FC FCC rules. I'll bet you someday these Weasley
Speaker 1: politicians try to try to put podcasting under that umbrella.
Speaker 3: All of US podcasters would come together and march against them.
Speaker 1: Oh man, all, oh, they'd be outraged. They all, all
Speaker 1: the influencers would have their their videos right there at
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill. Thank you. Dom Ozzie Waz writes in from
Speaker 1: Western Australia, it's says my mates Big Ben and Microphone
Speaker 1: Throttler Danny g A quick fun fact about Australia.
Speaker 3: The microphone throttler.
Speaker 1: Ozzi Was lives out in Western Australia. He says, you
Speaker 1: can fly from Perth to Melbourne faster than you can
Speaker 1: fly from one end of Western Australia to the other. Well,
Speaker 1: that is kind of cool. Australia is a wild place
Speaker 1: to me. All the animals, the kangaroos, the weird, deadly animals.
Speaker 1: Is more deadly critters and creatures there than anywhere else,
Speaker 1: he says. Let me get to my question, Ozzie Was writes.
Speaker 1: He says, is there is? We have a direct flight,
Speaker 1: he says, from Perth, Australia to London, and that takes
Speaker 1: about sixteen to eighteen hours to go from Perth to London. Wow,
Speaker 1: he says, So would you rather take a direct flight
Speaker 1: or have a stopover for a couple of hours and
Speaker 1: take the journey longer? That is from Ozzie Was. So
Speaker 1: I'm not a great person to ask. Ozzie Was, and
Speaker 1: this My longest trips on a plane are from the
Speaker 1: West coast of the US to Hawaii, which is like
Speaker 1: a five hour flight, or from the West coast to
Speaker 1: the east coast of the US like Boston, New York, Miami.
Speaker 1: Those type places, and that also on the way there
Speaker 1: it's like a four and a half hour flight. On
Speaker 1: the way back it is a five and a half
Speaker 1: hour flight. So it's the longest I'm on a plane's
Speaker 1: like five and a half maybe six hours, unless there's
Speaker 1: mechanical issues of the plane. That's about it. So if
Speaker 1: you could figure out a way, Ozzie was to stop
Speaker 1: in a third country, like to go from Perth and
Speaker 1: let's say there's another country halfway to London, and then
Speaker 1: if you could actually spend like a couple of days
Speaker 1: checking that out, if you had the time, I think
Speaker 1: that would be cool. But to just stop, I don't
Speaker 1: know that i'd want to do that. If I get
Speaker 1: on the plane, I'll take I'll take a sleeping pill
Speaker 1: or whatever, and then i'll get up when I have
Speaker 1: to get up and go and do my thing.
Speaker 3: What about you, Danny sleeping pills. I'd need some Anna
Speaker 3: Nicole Smith's strength pills. To be on a flight longer
Speaker 3: than five and a half hour.
Speaker 1: You need that. Michael Jackson set up then back of
Speaker 1: a day.
Speaker 3: I'm like you, My longest flight's probably been six hours,
Speaker 3: right around the five and a half mark. I had
Speaker 3: a lot of anxiety. I wanted my feet down on
Speaker 3: solid ground. So yeah, I couldn't answer that either, because
Speaker 3: I don't think I could do a seven hour flight.
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, people who fly overseas, I
Speaker 3: don't get it unless they have some drugs or alcohol
Speaker 3: or both in their system.
Speaker 1: I'm on drugs right now. Man. Not looking forward to
Speaker 1: at some point in the next few years, I am
Speaker 1: going to be dragged across the Atlantic to Europe. I
Speaker 1: know it's gonna happen, so I have to repare myself.
Speaker 1: I know I'll have a good time when I get
Speaker 1: to Europe. I think it'll be great, and I'm excited
Speaker 1: about seeing places I've not been to and learning about
Speaker 1: different cultures and things that I've seen on television and
Speaker 1: the Internet and all that. But the concept of going there,
Speaker 1: I am not looking.
Speaker 3: I'd rather take a boat, the way my Garadelli relatives
Speaker 3: got here in the first place.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just go. What's on the boat?
Speaker 2: Natcho's the lemonheads my dad's boat. You won't got down floats.
Speaker 1: Get on the boat, all right. Ryan from Shrewsbury writes
Speaker 1: in In Massachusetts. He says, Ben and Danny, I try
Speaker 1: to send you guys an email every week, but college
Speaker 1: and me rescuing a puppy, it has been hectic, he says,
Speaker 1: with that in his life, my question this week is
Speaker 1: my mom works on the twelfth floor in a Wooster,
Speaker 1: mass hospital, and this week, if she looks down the window,
Speaker 1: out the window there they are filming the new season
Speaker 1: of The Walking Dead. But that it's super fun for me,
Speaker 1: Ryan says, because I live in a small town in Massachusetts,
Speaker 1: so seeing these big stars is wicked cool. Just to
Speaker 1: prove he's actually from the Commonwealth. Since you guys live
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, have you ever stumbled upon a film
Speaker 1: set Some of my favorite shows based in southern California
Speaker 1: Sons of Anarchy, Mayan's MC, and Snowfall, He says, I
Speaker 1: don't know if those ring a bell to you. Yes,
Speaker 1: Sons of Anarchy does those other ones. It's a constant
Speaker 1: thing here, Ryan, around LA. When I lived in I
Speaker 1: lived in Hollywood for a while, which is not as
Speaker 1: sexy as it sounds. It's not. It's actually pretty nasty.
Speaker 1: And then I lived in Lincoln Heights in LA and
Speaker 1: I would see people shooting films all the time, and movies.
Speaker 1: I actually lived right across in Lincoln Heights on Avenue
Speaker 1: twenty six, there's a little hidden movie studio, small studio,
Speaker 1: but a film like Star Trek. Some episodes of Star
Speaker 1: Trek they had a couple of they had like New
Speaker 1: York street scenes kind of there, like grizzly back lot
Speaker 1: type things. Yeah, and so there and been lucky enough.
Speaker 1: I worked at Universal Studios. We did our TV show
Speaker 1: last year from Universal Studios, so that was cool. And
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio when Fox Sports Radio started Danny, we
Speaker 1: had studios on the Fox lot and we had free reign.
Speaker 1: I have so many fun memories of my early years
Speaker 1: at Fox Sports Radio. I was not good at radio,
Speaker 1: but we had studios in on the Fox lot, and
Speaker 1: so sometimes we'd go to Sherman Oaks, where we still
Speaker 1: have studios, and other times we'd go to the Fox
Speaker 1: lot and we had free rein. We had a access
Speaker 1: pass ryan to the Fox lot and we'd go all
Speaker 1: over the Fox lot and I would take friends that
Speaker 1: would come in out of town and we'd just walk
Speaker 1: around the New York skyline, the cutouts of the buildings
Speaker 1: and the different sets that they had back on the
Speaker 1: Fox lot. And you know why that all ended Danny,
Speaker 1: you know when that came to.
Speaker 3: An ed, you guys brought some of the Sherman Oaks
Speaker 3: cockroaches to their lot.
Speaker 1: Close September eleventh, September eleventh, twenty oh one. I was
Speaker 1: actually at the Fox lot that day and that was
Speaker 1: the end of it.
Speaker 3: Wow, they took all your passes away.
Speaker 1: Well, they just cut off the axis. You had to
Speaker 1: stay in the building where the Fox Sports headquarters were,
Speaker 1: where the Fox building was. You could not go else
Speaker 1: on elsewhere on the LOTOO. And I still remember they
Speaker 1: had a obstacle course, a zigzag to get into the lot.
Speaker 1: To go to the security get you had to go
Speaker 1: through all these cones and it was wild. But that
Speaker 1: was the end of it. But Danny, we see these things, right,
Speaker 1: these movie shoots all over the place.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Back in my hip hop programming radio programming days,
Speaker 3: I was invited to several video shoots for rappers. So
Speaker 3: it was like a pool scene with all these big
Speaker 3: booties all over the place. Look at herbet alas and
Speaker 3: alcohol all over the place, and catering trucks and producers
Speaker 3: and runners and the whole thing. It was cool to
Speaker 3: see how it all worked from behind the scenes. And
Speaker 3: then when I lived on Hollywood Beach, which is Oxnard
Speaker 3: Shores in the nineties, when they were still filming Melrose
Speaker 3: Place at the end of that show's run. There was
Speaker 3: a character on the show, doctor Michael Mancini, and his
Speaker 3: beach house that they would always show the outside and
Speaker 3: the inside of in different scenes. The beach house was
Speaker 3: right across the street from me, so whenever there were
Speaker 3: a lot of cars on the street and trucks and
Speaker 3: I saw the catering truck, I'm like, oh, they're filming
Speaker 3: Melrose Place again. So anytime they had a scene at
Speaker 3: doctor Mancini's house, it was on my block.
Speaker 1: That's awesome.
Speaker 3: I even went to the catering truck and pretended like
Speaker 3: I was working on the set one time. True story.
Speaker 1: Now come on, that's craft Services, Danny right.
Speaker 3: Crafts Services, And I remember getting some really good try tip.
Speaker 1: Is that right? That's cool. Uh. I've seen this a
Speaker 1: few times driving on the on the highways around here
Speaker 1: and sometimes just around the streets of LA when they're
Speaker 1: doing a car scene but the cars on like a flatbed.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, you know what I mean, and somebody's like
Speaker 1: pulling the car. It's not they're not actually driving the car.
Speaker 1: And then they have a camera in front, they have
Speaker 1: a camera on the side, and you'll be driving on
Speaker 1: the freeway and they'll be they'll be actors in the
Speaker 1: car and they're recording whatever, but they're not actually driving
Speaker 1: the car. They're pretending to drive the car, and they
Speaker 1: have light lighting people. It's a whole hole to do
Speaker 1: as you would imagine it would be. And you got
Speaker 1: the follow crew, you get the people ahead the whole thing.
Speaker 1: And so anyway, thank you, thank you, Ryan. Next up Cincinnati,

Speaker 1: that was the pr director for the Clippers who was
Speaker 1: a friend of mine. He's not with the Clippers anymore,
Speaker 1: but he had that what is still wrong with the clippers.
Speaker 1: A guy named Rob, great guy, and he was the
Speaker 1: head of pr for the clips for years and so
Speaker 1: he suffered from that and eventually just stopped wearing the
Speaker 1: wigs and all that just went for it.
Speaker 3: Says it's an inherited condition that leads to someone having
Speaker 3: very light skin, hair and eyes.
Speaker 1: I also had the late Mark Smith from the old

Speaker 1: of fireworks where they the whole sky is lit up.
Speaker 1: That's what I want.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean when they go off around the
Speaker 3: clock for weeks at a time, that's overboard. But when
Speaker 3: it's one day of the year. In fact, a couple
Speaker 3: of years ago, I took my better half to Redondo Beach,
Speaker 3: got a hotel that was right across the street from
Speaker 3: where the city was shooting the fireworks off. So we
Speaker 3: got to see the blast off, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: the flames and the smoke and everything. At the point
Speaker 3: of takeoff. We got to see the fireworks. It was amazing.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. That's great. No, I love big fires My
Speaker 1: mom My mom was a big fireworks fan. She would
Speaker 1: she would always go to Disneyland, but not actually in
Speaker 1: the park. She'd park across the street from Disneyland. She
Speaker 1: knew the parking lot. You park at and you get
Speaker 1: you get the Disneyland fireworks show without having to pay
Speaker 1: for Disneyland.
Speaker 3: Way back in the day, I had a girlfriend who
Speaker 3: did that same move hotel in Anaheim for the Fourth
Speaker 3: of July so that we could sit in the hot
Speaker 3: tub and watch the fireworks from across the Street.
Speaker 1: Nice.
Speaker 3: Those are money saving women, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know for sure. All. I thank you our
Speaker 1: friend Mike who loves Fullerton. He should be the mayor
Speaker 1: of Fullerton. Mike the mayor of Fullerton. Alf from the
Speaker 1: portals d in the Atlantic, right, since says Ben, based
Speaker 1: on your recent comments on the Fifth Hour about that
Speaker 1: and on the live air, when can we expect your
Speaker 1: new conspiracy alien hollow flat Earth podcast aful person beside it?
Speaker 1: You never know, Alf, you never know. I used to
Speaker 1: listen to Art Bell. I was a big Coast to
Speaker 1: Coast fan back back in the day, and I loved it.
Speaker 1: And I met George no Oy. We've had George on
Speaker 1: this podcast. By George, I could certainly talk about hob
Speaker 1: goblins and shape shifters and keemtrails. I can do that.
Speaker 1: I can break it down. I can talk about ozone
Speaker 1: layer issues and uh, what else do they talk about.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think other topics on Coast. I don't
Speaker 1: know every whack a doodle thing you could possibly come
Speaker 1: up with. I'm all for it. Every paranormal topic. I'd
Speaker 1: love to fill in on Coast to Coast if the
Speaker 1: company would let me. I think that would be a
Speaker 1: lot of fun.
Speaker 3: One of your topics was going to be Land of
Speaker 3: the Lost, that secret world underneath the ocean.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, that's my theory. Danny, that's your jumper. There's
Speaker 1: a subculture of beings that are not humanoid, and they're
Speaker 1: not anything we know of, and they live at the
Speaker 1: very bottom of the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans and
Speaker 1: the other oceans of the world. And they come out
Speaker 1: of these portals and they fly up and they are
Speaker 1: studying us. We are the aliens to them. They all
Speaker 1: disappear back into the ocean. Yep, that's their home. It's
Speaker 1: like the bat cave, except it's ocean cave that they
Speaker 1: go into. Kevin and Kansas right, since sys dear Ben
Speaker 1: and Danny g your current self can travel back in
Speaker 1: time and give your teenage self some good life advice,
Speaker 1: Kevin says, what would you tell your teen self? He's
Speaker 1: thanks for always working here for the listeners. Well, thank
Speaker 1: you for listening, Kevin. Yeah, we've gotten this kind of
Speaker 1: a question before. I would just tell my team self,
Speaker 1: don't don't panic. Everything will be okay. You can figure
Speaker 1: things out in broadcasting, because I was I was worried.
Speaker 1: It wasn't gonna work out, and I would have to
Speaker 1: get a real job and just calm down, take.
Speaker 3: Take a deep breath. I would be my teen self
Speaker 3: to invest in Amazon and Apple. That would also be
Speaker 3: good advice. That would be better advice than the advice
Speaker 3: I would give, which is just calm down. Yes, do that,
Speaker 3: And make sure when weed becomes legal you get a
Speaker 3: license to sell weed right away.
Speaker 1: Yes, that would also be something I would tell my
Speaker 1: teen self. At some point it'll become legal, get in
Speaker 1: on that and you're good to go.
Speaker 3: And don't bet on the Falcons to beat the Patriots.
Speaker 1: Yeah, never never do that. That would be that would
Speaker 1: be a sake. And also if Tennessee plays Buffalo in
Speaker 1: a playoff game, make sure you avoid betting on the
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills to win the game on the money line.
Speaker 1: Make sure you avoid doing that because there'll be an
Speaker 1: illegal forward pass by Kevin Dyson to Frank White check
Speaker 1: and that'll really screw you up.
Speaker 3: The Lob City Clips are not gonna win a trophy, and.
Speaker 1: The Lakers are going to become so pathetic they're going
Speaker 1: to hire a podcaster as their coach and draft a
Speaker 1: guy that averaged less than five points a game because
Speaker 1: his daddy plays for the team.
Speaker 3: And they're gonna win four more championships. And by the
Speaker 3: time you're an adult.
Speaker 1: And then they no, they have not won four championship.
Speaker 1: They have not won anything since Jerry Buss died. Go
Speaker 1: non zero. I love that the Lakers. How dare you? Nick?
Speaker 1: And wisconstant we'll get out on this. Nick in wisconsiou
Speaker 1: says I would buy some radio show or podcast shirts. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you, Nick. I have been talking to some people
Speaker 1: about some malor merch. I might have something which, if
Speaker 1: this happens, if this happens, would be affordable for everybody shirt.
Speaker 1: And I will not say because I don't want to
Speaker 1: get people's hopes up in case it doesn't happen. But
Speaker 1: I'm working on something, and if it does happen, of
Speaker 1: course we'll promote it on this podcast, and it'll be
Speaker 1: a little some small because people can plain the shirts
Speaker 1: are really expensive now to make the shirts, and you know,
Speaker 1: I have people do this dan these items and so
Speaker 1: they have to make money on them and it caught
Speaker 1: the production. So it's expensive and people complain they're too expense.
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to get an item that's affordable that's
Speaker 1: got the name of the show on it that we
Speaker 1: can have everyone have access to. So we'll see what
Speaker 1: happens with that. Nick. Anyway, Now, Nick says, I have
Speaker 1: been behind and listening to this podcast last couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: but as I send this, I have been binge listening
Speaker 1: all day as I clean, and I would like to
Speaker 1: defend myself. I Nick says, I helped you with the
Speaker 1: axe throwing. It was Kyle from Denver who put out
Speaker 1: that video. Now this was at the Mermaid they had
Speaker 1: an axe throwing event. I was dragged into this and
Speaker 1: there was some out of context video that was put
Speaker 1: up to make me look bad.
Speaker 3: Made your first pitch in Bakersfield look like a superstar performance.
Speaker 3: Dare you?
Speaker 1: Anyway? Nick says, on to my question, would you rather
Speaker 1: get one free tank of gas per month or one
Speaker 1: free meal from your favorite restaurant once every other week? Remember,
Speaker 1: he says, I stood up for you or with you there, Ben,
Speaker 1: that's from Nick. So I would go with the gas.
Speaker 1: I would go with the gas, although depending on what
Speaker 1: restaurant you go to, it could be more value to
Speaker 1: go to the restaurant in terms of how expensive food is.
Speaker 1: These days, but gas if you had a free tank
Speaker 1: of gas. It's only once a month though.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we both have to commute into the studio. Yes,
Speaker 3: so I think the gas would be more valuable for
Speaker 3: both of us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would take the gas. I would take the guess,
Speaker 1: and I like eating. I'm really becoming old, Danny. I
Speaker 1: enjoy eating at home now more often than I do
Speaker 1: going to restaurants. I'm at that point in my life
Speaker 1: where I like to cook and just eat home cooked
Speaker 1: meals and I can get whatever I want, get larger portions,
Speaker 1: save a little money, make the Babegan nosh. I like
Speaker 1: all that. Yeah, I like all that. So but we'll
Speaker 1: get out on that. Have a wonderful rest of your Sunday.
Speaker 1: I'll be back tonight hanging out with you on the radio.
Speaker 1: We have a full week of shows. I know some
Speaker 1: people are off this week because of the July fourth holiday,
