He's the last remnants 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.520 of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.520 treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:17.520 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:18.360 Wow. 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.320 The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special. 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:30.720 The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:34.000 In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with me, Ben 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:37.880 Mahler and Danny g Radio, who is producing this podcast. 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:43.320 We are with you again. The audio Sweatshop does not stop. 0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:46.519 Just finished a few minutes ago, the Overnight Show. I 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:50.120 took a brief, well deserved, well deserved time out and 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:54.480 then right back in, right back into the fun. Here 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:58.800 we are in the podcast studio, the remote podcast studio. 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:04.800 A week from Black Friday. Oh yeah, very exciting. On 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:10.480 this podcast we have the Malar Kitchen Diaries, Bias Babies, 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:15.000 the phrase of the Week, and an added bonus, an 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:19.479 old friend returning. We'll explain what that is. Time permitting. 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:23.920 Time permitting on this podcast, but begin you and I 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:30.600 together with the Malar Kitchen Diaries. There's something about the kitchen. 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:35.320 It's in every home, the kitchen, but it's something that 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.360 feels like a there's something there that feels like a stage. 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.720 Now I'm not talking about the Food Network something like that. 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:49.000 More like a one man Shakespearean tragedy, at least when 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:55.680 I'm involved starring yours truly, And yet again another example 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.680 of me questioning some of the choices I've made in 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:03.680 my life. I have learned often, and I share these 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:07.480 stories with you when bodily things go wrong because of 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:10.880 medical conditions or whatever. But when I get into the 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:15.440 kitchen and I get my hands dirty, sometimes they are 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:21.320 dirty with blood, blood blood blood. That is the malarculinary 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:26.400 institute of learning. From a strict tuition policy, you are 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:32.120 going to pay in pain, oh the agony. And I 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.799 don't know whether you cook or not. I'm I don't know. 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:37.880 I've heard from people that do. I've heard from people. 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.280 I eat TV dinners, I eat frozen food. I got 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.320 an air fryer. That's all I need. But there's that 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:49.799 moment in every kitchen, right before you slice, sear, or 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:53.600 flame something, where, at least for me, I hear the 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:58.160 Anthony Bourdaine voice, the late Great Anthony Bourdain voice like 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:04.680 a ghost haunting you. It's over your shoulder. And in 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:09.919 the Anthony Bourdain voice, I hear the whisper good food 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.840 is all about risk, and when it does come to 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:19.200 the Malar Culinary Institute, the risk level is somewhere between 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:24.919 Evil Knievel jumping the Grand Canyon and deciding I'm gonna 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:28.040 make my password for all of my banking information and 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.720 my life savings. I'm going to make my password password 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.840 one two three ABC is what my password is going 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:39.160 to be. Now, this is not cooking. This is full 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:43.920 contact food preparation, and I'm going to prove that to 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:47.640 you right here on this podcast. So we approach this 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:53.080 with adrenaline, heartburn, medication, and the understanding that in any 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:57.840 moment in the kitchen this could become an episode of Dateline. 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.560 You don't want to be on an episode of Dateline. Now, 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:06.120 all of this Michigas started out innocently enough in a 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:10.080 land far far away, unless it actually happened just a 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:15.520 couple of miles away. But this was a chance, a 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:19.960 way to honor my dearly departed mother and her epic 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.440 legacy that she left behind. Is the baker and the 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:26.039 family food maker. And all that. Now. Originally, if you've 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:29.080 been following the podcast, you know that this was something 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.919 that started with cookies. And I'd like to thank the 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:36.560 people that Crumble Cookies who have been price scouging for years. 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:38.880 Over there. My god, it's just a little bit of 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.520 dough and some chocolate chips. What are you doing? And 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:45.680 they're great. I love Crumble cookies. They're outrageously priced, and 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:51.120 so I made a knockof version. The wife had gotten 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:56.000 me some Crumble cookies and I really liked them, and 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.559 then she told you, She told me how much they cost, 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:00.760 and she tried to high that from me, and then 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:03.479 I found it and I said, oh my god. So 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.719 I'll just make some ripoff versions of my favorite Crumble cookies. 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:11.280 And so that was the baby step, if you will, 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:16.760 into the domestic Benny Bliss domestic Bliss there. However, it 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:20.160 did not stop there. Like any gateway drug, the chocolate 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:24.799 chip cookie led to other cookies, and then that led 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.719 to the Mallard what I call the crack Cocaine menu 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.320 at the Malar Mansion, which I've talked about a lot. 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:35.800 My favorite foods, the smash burger on the griddle, grilled onions, peppers, 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:41.160 all that welded to the griddle like it's owed it's 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.479 owed you money or something like that. The Philly cheese 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:47.719 steak that could end up solving world peace and causing 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:52.040 everyone to have heart disease at the same time. Double daily, 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:55.560 double daily double. Then there's the Mallard Pizza, which briefly 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.680 was Eddie Restaurant. I hope that guy Johnny Oh's listening 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.359 in Grand app It's Michigan. We briefly had the Mallard pizza, 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:07.839 which is garlic onion, bell pepper, generous helpings of garlic onion, 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:12.159 bell pepper. It was the Mona Lisa of garlic, onion 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:16.280 and bell pepper. And then the crunchy gringo taco. May 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:19.880 my friend Alex Long departed rest in peace. There the 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:27.920 crunchy gringo taco that would make any reasonable nutritionist openly weep. 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.680 All right, And so in the last I'm not sure 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.920 how long it's been been, about six months, maybe a year. 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:41.719 Time flies. So entering the kitchen has been swarma that 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:46.680 came into the picture, that beautiful Mediterranean marble, the spinning 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:52.599 pillar of poultry perfection, chicken shwarma. Truth be told, it 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:57.960 has become a Saturday night ritual in the Malor mansion. Well, 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:01.560 what a life. I watched some college football, maybe a 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:06.360 crappy NBA game. I got that going on. The marinade 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:11.720 that sleeps overnight. I talk overnight. This thing sleeps. So 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:13.800 you get the chicken ready, you pound the chicken a 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.560 little bit, you get everything ready, all the spices and 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:20.800 all that stuff, and the marinade, and it just sits 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:22.440 there in the fridge and sleeps like it's at a 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:26.440 four star hotel. And that's it, and wake up and 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:29.480 you're on your way. Sometimes I do it overnight, two 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.080 or three hours in the oven. You rotate every thirty 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.880 minutes or so, like it's auditioning for dancing with the stars. 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:39.320 And finally, in order to get chicken shwarma. It's one 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.800 thing to put the chicken on the spit, but you've 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:45.200 got to slice it, you gotta shave it. You've got 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:49.280 to present the shwarma the way that it deserves to 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.880 be presented, like our brothers and sisters in the Middle East. 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:56.080 So this is where you get your testosterone juices going. 0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:01.440 And that is also where the quantum leap took place. 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.840 There was a metamorphosis in the malar kitchen, when Benny 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:09.840 the Baker became Benny the butcher. You see the new 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:13.600 chicken shwarma toy that I decided to get in a 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:18.760 moment of I don't know what I was thinking. I 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:24.360 got this chicken schwarma restaurant style buzz saw. I don't 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:28.000 know any other way to say it. And I bought 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:31.920 it in a moment of culinary confidence that was unwarranted 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:36.920 on the Amazon. I found it, wife bought it, got it, 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:42.880 and I'm happy to report that I nearly turned my 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:48.000 left thumb into a side dish. Would you like some 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.920 thumb with your schwarma? No, I'm good. I could just 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.560 take some rice, but we have a nice chunk of 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.160 a thumb. Would you like that with some sauce? No, 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.280 I don't want that with some sauce. So the blaze 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.720 of the circular kitchen saw the shwarma as it was 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:08.840 described on Amazon shwarma buzz saw. I said, easy to assemble, 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.720 easy to clean, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:13.880 So I pluged this thing in. I'd opened the box. 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.280 I plugged this thing in. I put the blade. There 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:19.640 was an extra blade. I put it in and as 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:23.640 I was futzing around trying to figure out how exactly 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:33.520 the Shwarma buzzsaw worked, somehow, some way, my left hand 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:37.480 that got in the way, and it was I didn't 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:41.000 even notice at the time. This thing was so fricking power. 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.080 I didn't even notice. And then I looked on the 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.439 inside but not the back of my knuckle. I don't 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:48.040 know what the inside thing is. You know, whether you 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.440 bend your thumb and the part where it bends forward, 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:57.680 and it looked like a fighter jet had buzzed by 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:03.240 the tower. It was fast, it was violent. My thumb 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.280 felt a little off. And then I looked at it. 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:10.520 I said, whoa, I had the precision of a neurosurgeon 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.920 with some anger issues. It was. It was a gusher. 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:17.720 And as this is going on, I'm putting my hand 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:21.440 under the sink trying to wash whatever is there away. 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.440 So the wife calls me. Now, normally, you know, you 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:28.560 pick up I picked up. Crisis going on. She's like, hey, 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.199 how's your new toy. How's your new toy? I said, Oh, 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.680 it's great. The gadget's going very well. Here. It's a 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:39.760 great little toy. There just just absolutely wonderful. And without 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.160 missing a beat, I said that, and I said it's great. 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:43.800 And I said, well, I just had one little thing, 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.760 I said, little paper cut. And why did I say that? 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.760 I said that because I know how my wife's brain 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.040 is wired. If I had said, well, I think I 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.920 might have just cut the half of my thumb off 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.840 on my left hand. Oh my god, it would have 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:02.240 been pan at the disco and all that stuff. And 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.000 if I just say a paper cutses, Oh, you get 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.720 paper cuts all the time, and you say that because 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:11.760 sometimes survival is about not telling the truth immediately. You 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:13.839 just got to give the truth adventures, but you don't 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:15.679 get right of it. So I hung up, and I 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:20.240 immediately thought, man, do I need stitches like this? I 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.640 probably should get some stitches. I should have signed a 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:28.679 waiver before opening up this monstrosity, and at least now 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.880 I was able to stop the bleeding. I put some 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:38.040 a lot of pressure bandages, and I likely could have 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:40.680 used maybe three or four stitches on my thumb, but 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:42.760 that would have caused a whole other set of issues 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:46.360 and all that stuff, and so I avoided that. I 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.440 should have signed some kind of waiver before again opening 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:52.040 this at least now, though I am the proud owner 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:58.479 of what I call symmetrical scars, the daily double of scars, 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:00.800 because I did. I'm not to tell the story on 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:05.080 the previous podcast, but about a week prior, I was 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:08.480 the soux chef at the Malar Mansion. I was cutting 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:13.160 onions at the Malor Mansion, chopping them up right, Chopping onions, 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.720 something that I do a lot, and I don't tell 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.080 anyone I eat a lot of onions. I don't like 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:24.000 vegetables other than onion, bell, pepper, and garlic. And that's it. 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:29.599 And so my right pointer finger, my right hand, was 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:34.480 getting a workout. How dare you My right pointer finger 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:40.480 nearly severed while chopping onions, nearly severed while chopping onions. 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:46.040 And so this week the left thumb sliced from the 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:51.680 Schwarma buzz saw. And now I'm one dice garlic clove 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:56.640 away from joining the witness protection program. You know it's 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:58.920 going to be bad when your hands starts looking like 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:02.640 they were coached by your hands. Both of them. They 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:06.840 were coached by Nathaniel Hackett. Remember Nathaniel Hackett, the numb 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:10.320 nuts who coached the Broncos. Yeah, so this Swarma Buzzsaw. 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.800 I've got good news for Ferg Dog and Alf and 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.280 mister nice Guy and some of the other big fans. 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.920 So this Shwarma Buzsaw will be coming to an Amazon 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:27.120 return bin near you with an added bonus. An added bonus, 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:31.160 you can get the malar hemoglobin as I left. I 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.280 think I washed it off, but there's some DNA I'm 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.000 sure still on there. Now, what's next in the malar kitchen? 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.400 You asked, Well, I'm glad you asked. The plan is 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.760 with Black Friday coming up next week, to buy a 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:49.840 custom sharpened for war and ready for battle shwarma knife. Now. Sure, 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:53.400 I might lose the arm. I might lose the arm. 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:56.920 It also might make the greatest fifth hour podcast of 0:13:56.960 --> 0:14:01.920 my life. Because the reality is King with Ben Mahler. 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.040 That would be me talking to the third person. Is 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:08.640 not for the fan of heart. There's no Michelin star. 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:11.200 The only star I have is the star of a 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.200 band aid, a Johnson and Johnson band aid, the owner 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.200 of the Jets. Maybe a little barbecue sauce off the side. 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:21.240 So there's that now. I promise you that this podcast 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:26.840 in about two or three months. Hank in Tokyo he's 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.560 jotting down notes right now, and he's like, how can 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:33.920 I weaponize this? How can I weaponize malor slicing his 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:37.800 thumb and almost cutting it off. And I'll wait four 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:39.800 months and I'll bring this up when Malou does a 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:41.920 monologue about the Chiefs, because I like the chiefs and 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:43.840 he's gonna rip the chiefs and I'm gonna go sit 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:48.080 by that and another Anthony Bourdain. I want to bookend 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:51.160 this with Anthony Bourdain, the great celebrity chef. He was 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.680 right as well. He said the way you make an 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:57.320 omelet reveals your character. Right, he said that what he 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:00.600 should have said is the way you slice swarma reveals 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:06.440 your morality. And that's it or mortality. I think I 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:10.680 said morality mortality. Oh boy, it's early, and yet every 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:15.320 every Saturday and this has been going on. I lace 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:18.920 up the apron. I'm like a prize fighter. It's Benny 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:26.080 the Mallard time Maller in the kitchen. It's three hours 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:30.640 of verbal boxing, because that's the deal. That's the deal 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.200 in the kitchen is the deal in sports radio. You 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:36.360 sharpen the blade, you take the risk, and you pray 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:40.160 that you still have your thumb Comeunday. Keep in mind 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:43.160 this food I make on Saturday, I make a lot 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.920 of chicken, a bunch of chicken, stack it up as 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:50.880 far as far as we go, and that's my food Monday, 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:56.240 Tuesday and Wednesday, so three days of food. My wife 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.520 also eats that while she's at work. And then I'll 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:01.800 make some rice and don't tell anybody that I'm eating 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.880 somewhat healthy because I'll also have some cookies or something 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:08.080 I make, so it's not that healthy anyway. So the 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:11.480 plan is, you know, I'm gonna get that knife eventually 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:14.080 and some other stuff and I'll be good to go. 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:18.440 And yeah, I'll get the marinade and all that. And 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.040 I'm sure that the knife wants my social Security number, 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:25.360 so I'll give it that. So there you go, turning 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:25.760 the page. 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:25.960 Though. 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:31.800 We had a viral exchange between a social media user 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:35.720 and the Grock AI chat bot that took place the 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:39.840 other day, and this has been going around. It took 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:46.520 over the micro blogging world by storm by storm. In 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:54.680 a now deleted post created by the AI Grock device, 0:16:55.320 --> 0:17:01.640 there was a comment comparing Lebron James and Elon Musk 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:08.880 now rolling Stone, which justin points out as a liberal 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:14.399 rag Justin and Cincinnati. So they had the story, this 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:16.960 thing's been bouncing around. I just happened to see it there. 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:21.639 Somebody sent me a link to it, and it was asked. 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:26.040 The GROC was asked how Elon Musk stacks up against 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:31.880 Lebron James, and Grock responded by acknowledging originally that Lebron 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:36.560 dominates in raw athleticism and basketball prowess and all this stuff, 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.119 and he's a genetic freak and blah blah blah the 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:44.520 chat bock chet bot and then made a claim which 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:49.800 has gone viral. That said, but Elon edges out in 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:56.120 holistic fitness sustaining eighty to one hour weeks across SpaceX 0:17:56.200 --> 0:18:03.480 Tesla neuralink demands relentless physical and mental grit that outlast 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:11.000 seasonal peaks lot there. So Elon has since broken into 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.840 commentary on this. He talked about it, He refuted the 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:20.600 rather insane to the membrane claims, the outlandish claims about this, 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:26.480 and Elon then penned on the micro blogging site x 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:30.360 formerly known to Twitter, he said, earlier today, Grock was 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:37.879 unfortunately manipulated by adversarial prompting into saying absurdly positive things 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:41.520 about me. For the record, I am a fat retard, 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:48.359 said Elon. Elon Musk. Okay. Groc has also made similar 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:54.280 responses with over the top praise for Elon Musk. In fact, 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:58.280 there's some examples here that I read that he picked 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:03.719 Elon Musk over pay and manning for the nineteen ninety 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:07.600 eight NFL draft. Also claimed that the millionaire could fight 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:13.439 the former heavyweight chippieid of the world Iron Mike Tyson. 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:19.560 So these AI conversations have since sparked conversation and rayak 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:23.960 shan across all social media platforms, going on and on 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.040 and on and on and on, and people are freaking out. 0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:30.720 There's always people freaking out. There was one dude who's 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:35.119 like at Cornell and he gave a statement saying, these tweets, 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:39.760 while they're mostly amusing, r a reminder of a serious matter. 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:45.639 There is no such thing as unbiased AI. Okay, an 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:49.720 unbiased AI tool. So the question with a number of people, again, 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:51.920 this is the matrix, So take it for what it's worth. 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:54.199 Who knows if these people are actually freaking out or not. 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:57.800 But for the purposes of this part of the Fifth 0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:01.320 Hour podcast, Let's just assume position that some people are 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:05.760 freaking out because an AI chatbot said Elon Musk. Well, 0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:10.360 they would take Elon Musk edging out over Lebron James 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:14.240 in a matchup. So there are people that are a 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:16.919 little annoyed BYuT this is this a big deal, a 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:20.720 little deal, or no deal? So after a minutes long 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:25.960 Mallard deliberation, I have determined this is a harmless deal. 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:31.960 Of course, AI is not unbiased. I love that there 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:35.840 are people who are freaked out. Oh my god, I 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:42.000 can't believe the AI is not unbiased. What a nightmare. 0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:45.760 And I'm like, really, like, you live in the same 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:50.520 world I live in. You raised by a bunch of wolves, 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:54.760 but not timberwolves because you'd be a loser. Humans are 0:20:54.800 --> 0:21:00.359 not unbiased, every man, woman, and child. You get to 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:05.440 a certain age, including the Dali Lama and the late 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:11.040 great Mother Teresa. Bias is not some glitch in the system. 0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:18.280 It is absolutely baked into every one of us. I 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:22.280 am bias. You are biased, right, It's part of the 0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:27.760 human condition. Every lens we look through every sound that 0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:32.000 we hear. If you're blind, like Stevie Meatballs or incod 0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:35.360 terror blind, Scott or any of the guys that are 0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:38.960 in the blind Mob of we have the top blind 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:44.840 fighting squadron of any radio show. You think about the 0:21:44.880 --> 0:21:48.760 heavy hitters that we've got mentioned some of them there, Stevie, 0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:54.400 Meatballs again, Blind Scott Inkad Terror, Emmett the Blind Seahawk fan, 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:59.840 our buddy in Bakersfield, Andrew in Bakersfield part of that group. 0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:03.240 And so you look at all that, it's like they 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:07.639 could hear sounds and but they're biased, right their brihs 0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:10.760 because of this. It's all based on your upbringing, your 0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:16.520 situation in life, the way your parents taught you, culture education, 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:22.520 even little accidents along the way, like the time that 0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:25.760 I had an issue coming back from from dinner in 0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:29.399 the car and uh, you know it just that helped 0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:31.560 shape who I am. But think of it like this, 0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:36.000 I like, think of it like a fingerprint. No two 0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:38.840 are the same, but everyone has one, right they don't 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:41.840 know fingerprints are the same, but everyone's gone. Your world 0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:46.520 view is unique, and it's still a print that shapes 0:22:46.560 --> 0:22:50.119 how you grasp reality. What is reality? I don't know 0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:53.440 what reality is? What is reality? And so you see 0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:55.840 the game different. It's like it's like home field advantage 0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:58.600 versus going on the road. Some people and athletes love. 0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:00.679 Some guys love going on the road, shutting people up. 0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:02.600 Other people like, no, I want to stay I want 0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:04.199 to stay home. I want to have my bed, I 0:23:04.200 --> 0:23:06.680 want to have everything like that, And they can handle 0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:10.840 the whole environment. They have problems with the people cheering 0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:12.840 against them, and they don't like the different stadiums and 0:23:12.880 --> 0:23:15.320 the rituals and all that stuff and so, but that's 0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:19.119 based on perception, and so you get a bunch of 0:23:19.200 --> 0:23:22.600 information that that becomes who you are. It's like people 0:23:22.600 --> 0:23:25.720 talk about cloning, and yeah, you could have the same 0:23:25.840 --> 0:23:29.800 genetic makeup, you make a clone like Tom Brady's dog. 0:23:30.040 --> 0:23:33.200 The issue is that that'll never be the same because 0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:38.920 what makes you you, as I learned from from Doctor Seuss, 0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:42.240 is that every place you've been and everything you've done, 0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:46.880 and every in my case, every monologue about the Cowboys 0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:51.040 or the Dodgers or the usual suspects, it's all in 0:23:51.080 --> 0:23:57.200 the catalog. And a recreation will not have that same 0:23:57.960 --> 0:24:01.639 life experience. And there's a world where Elon Musk, for example, 0:24:01.800 --> 0:24:03.440 use him as an example, there's a world where Elon 0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:07.919 Musk does not become the most powerful business mogul in 0:24:07.960 --> 0:24:11.399 the world, worth trillions of dollars. That there's a world 0:24:11.440 --> 0:24:16.600 where he ends up as a janitor and he ends 0:24:16.680 --> 0:24:19.879 up in the Janitorial Olympics that we are going to 0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:22.480 do the housekeeping Olympics that we talked about in last 0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:26.480 week's episode of The Fifth Hour podcast. There's also a 0:24:26.480 --> 0:24:30.159 world where Lebron James never ends up playing basketball and 0:24:30.280 --> 0:24:33.360 doesn't play sports at all, and just ends up becoming 0:24:33.440 --> 0:24:39.760 some kind of middle manager at a Applebee's in Akron, Ohio. 0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:45.040 And there's his life, and that's it. And so the 0:24:45.160 --> 0:24:48.119 paradox is that even when people try to be objective, 0:24:49.160 --> 0:24:52.800 they're still choosing what is important to them as relevant. 0:24:53.640 --> 0:24:55.560 That's the same that people have a media biased And 0:24:56.000 --> 0:24:58.159 I love how certain people are we're not biased it, 0:24:58.320 --> 0:25:02.080 you are. Everyone's biased right now. Some people just own 0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:05.360 it and wear it and they're like, oh, yeah, we're biased. Yeah, absolutely, 0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:08.280 come on now, we're biased. And then other people are like, 0:25:08.359 --> 0:25:11.679 oh we are fair, and no, you're all right. Meanwhile, 0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:16.440 time for the phrase of the week. The phrase of 0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:19.720 the week. The phrase of the week this week, as 0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:23.600 submitted by Scott in Florida formerly in California, but he 0:25:24.320 --> 0:25:27.240 left the People's Republic of California for the Free State 0:25:27.359 --> 0:25:30.480 of Florida. So Scott writes, and he says the phrase 0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:34.600 social butterfly. I want to know about social butterfly. So 0:25:34.680 --> 0:25:36.560 that is the phrase of the week's social butterfly. So 0:25:36.640 --> 0:25:40.960 this originated ittle research on this. And you know, from 0:25:41.040 --> 0:25:47.120 the metaphor of a butterfly flitting from flower to flower, 0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:50.280 I guess that was a metaphor that was used popularly 0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:53.439 back in the day. And this thing goes back. It 0:25:53.440 --> 0:25:58.359 became popular social butterfly in the late nineteenth and early 0:25:58.480 --> 0:26:05.640 twentieth centuries. It was a way to describe fashionable, outgoing individuals. 0:26:06.119 --> 0:26:09.359 You said, oh, that's a social butterfly. And just like 0:26:09.720 --> 0:26:13.760 a butterfly moving very gracefully from bloom to bloom, a 0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:18.680 social butterfly as someone who rather obviously just from one 0:26:18.760 --> 0:26:23.200 conversation to a different part of the party and goes 0:26:23.240 --> 0:26:26.840 to a different group of people and is bouncing around. Now, 0:26:26.840 --> 0:26:32.159 the idiom began appearing in English around the late eighteen hundreds, 0:26:32.680 --> 0:26:35.680 so about the time Major League baseball became a thing. 0:26:35.880 --> 0:26:39.119 In the late eighteen hundreds and early nineteen hundreds, often 0:26:39.320 --> 0:26:45.040 in society comes describing women who attended multiple balls, dinners 0:26:45.160 --> 0:26:50.760 or charity events. Now, originally, originally this was a derogatory phrase. 0:26:51.320 --> 0:26:54.480 Oh my god, I can't use it. It was derogatory. 0:26:54.640 --> 0:26:56.600 You can use it, you can use it's okay, I'm 0:26:56.640 --> 0:26:59.119 going to be the pass on that. But originally it 0:26:59.240 --> 0:27:04.560
