WEBVTT - The Fifth Hour: "Hit the Panic Button" Mail Bag 0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:01.480 Kabooms. 0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:05.400 If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.160 a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.480 of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.520 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:17.480 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 --> 0:00:29.360 The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:36.879 In the a Everywhere and a Happy Football Sunday. It 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:40.879 is week eleven of the NFL. It actually started the 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:45.880 other day on Thursday with Joe Burrow's wrist getting all 0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:49.760 clunky and all that with that Ravens and Bengals game. 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:53.600 But we had a full slate of football action. The 0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:57.000 Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny g were here 0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:02.080 every single weekend. You hear me late at night recording 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.880 my podcast in the middle of the night, the Ben 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.360 Maler Show on radio, and then Danny G's on during 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.039 the day with Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:15.120 And we joined forces and we go together like mac 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:19.400 and cheese on the weekends and all that. And you 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.720 might be eating mac and cheese this week. Thanksgiving. Neal 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:26.839 who knows. But today on this Sunday podcast, you were correct, Danny. 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:30.480 I was so flustered by you bringing up animal thunderdome 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:34.280 possibly coming back that I failed the listener. I did 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:39.800 not get to the phrase of the week. I did 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:41.560 not get to the phrase of the week. Does a 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.920 bad job by me? Bad job by me? Danny G 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:46.200 I knew it. 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.840 I called it as sure as I was of that, 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.960 and CoA not being afraid of the water. He was 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:56.120 like a little fish yesterday afternoon, Ben. 0:01:56.120 --> 0:02:04.240 A little fishy. That's good. So we have a phrase 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:09.720 of the week, scientifical. We're gonna get scientifical and mailbag 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:13.119 mailbag as well. So here we go, phrase of the week. 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:15.160 Are you ready for the phrase of the week? 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.320 Phrase of the week. 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.880 Here is the phrase, which is not to be confused. 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:23.480 Phrase of the week. Not to be confused with the 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.640 idiom of the week, which we did back on Friday. 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:29.600 But the phrase of the week. Hit the panic button. Now, 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.560 I use this phrase all the time, Danny. I use 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:38.840 this probably once every other day for an athlete choking yeah, 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:41.880 or for a team or a coach. Oh, they hit 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:42.800 the panic button. 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.480 I heard you use this when you were talking about 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:46.760 James Harden recently. 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.320 Yeah, yeah, I have. I used it with Harden. So 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:53.800 it's obviously reacting poorly to a situation. You hit the 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:59.080 panic button, being caught off guard, uh, doing something without 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:04.440 really thinking it through, making bad decisions in a situation 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:07.960 that's hit the panic button. I think most of us 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.399 know what that means. But the origin I was fascinated 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.720 by the origin of this word, so that's why, or 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:14.520 this phrase rather so, that's why it is the phrase 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:18.560 of Louis. So the origin of the of the phrase 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:23.720 hit the panic button goes back to World War Two, 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.079 so it's not that old a phrase. This ain't going 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.400 back to ancient times like we had the Idiom of 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.080 the Week that went back to ancient Greece. This only 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:34.200 goes back to World War Two, and it is a 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:39.240 reference to the B seventeen and the B twenty four bombers. 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:41.640 Now the B seventeen much more famous than the B 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:44.480 twenty four. Am I correct on that. I'm not a 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.760 military guy, but it seems like the B seventeen to 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:51.920 B twenty four you don't hear a lot about anyway. Yeah, yeah, 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.680 I don't know. I'm sure there's someone listening that's really 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:57.640 up on their military history. Par I could tell us 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.080 the way this phrase originated. It hit the panic Button. 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.760 World War two B seventeen B twenty four bombers, they 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:10.040 had bell systems, actual bells that would ring in the 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:15.720 cockpit in the event of a catastrophe about to happen, right, 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:19.000 meaning that there's damage or whatever. And we assigned they'd 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:22.760 ring bells to signal to the crew to jump ship. 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:27.520 So they would literally be like bells ringing. And you know, 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:29.800 people are, well, what does that have to do with 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.960 the actual panic button, because you know it's bells. It's 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.760 not that Well, if you go to nineteen fifty five, 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:40.160 after World War Two, nineteen fifty five, there was a 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.240 guy that came up with a glossary of air force 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:49.760 slang from pilots at Bergstrom Air Force Base in Austin, Texas. 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:54.320 And this is for the academic journal American Speech. It 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.600 is still in print to this day under the headline 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:02.160 hit the Panic Button this book, the guy wrote, there 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.560 is a switch called the panic button in the cockpit 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:10.040 of a jet craft which Jennison's objects, including extra fuel tanks, 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:15.280 in order to lighten the plane conditions under which this 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:21.400 switch is used, are usually quite desperate and continuing to read, 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.440 it says, in case of power failure, for example, when 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:30.000 all the prescribed remedial processes failed, the pilot might, in desperation, 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:35.120 push everything that's out and pull everything that's in in 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:40.360 the hopes that he might actually do something help. Thus 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:46.000 the phrase panic button was born. So since that was 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.520 published in nineteen fifty five, that has been a phrase 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:54.279 that we use. And by the way, from what we're told, 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:58.880 it has now been standard. That's standard. There's actually a 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:03.560 panic button in military aircraft, the United States military aircraft. 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:05.800 I've never been in, well, I should say never. I 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.200 was a kid, I used to go to the open 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:09.600 house of the marine base and go through all the 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.520 planes and all that in the helicopters, but as far 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.080 as I know, you know, as an adult, I've not 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:19.000 been in military aircraft. So they do have a standard 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:23.280 piece of equipment that is known as the panic button. 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.160 So yess, very cool. 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:27.760 That is pretty neat. It doesn't go back so nobody 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.640 before that, but maybe they said panic button, but it 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:34.360 didn't didn't really resonate. So phrase the week again, panic 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:40.040 button hit the panic butt O. Yes, yeah, well there 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.040 you go hit the panic button. Next up, we have 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:47.080 moving on as we flip the script here and we 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:52.480 will get scientifical. We're gonna get cy and typical. Why 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:54.640 why not? What the heck? 0:06:55.080 --> 0:07:22.520 And we'll get to that's right, come on, ohiol. 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:15.640 Science, All right, thank you. 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:17.280 Now I'm gonna help you out, dandy. Do you have 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:18.760 an iPhone? You have an iPhone? Right? 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.720 Of course I'm not some Android sucker. 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:25.560 Yeah, so there's a hack that some dope came up 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:31.320 with on TikTok. This guy claims unlimited cell phone battery life, 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.760 which is, you know, that's a lie, but you can 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:37.440 improve your cell phone battery life. And I actually did this, 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:43.480 and I gotta tell you, pretty pretty simple. I'm not 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:45.520 that right when it comes to technology and all that 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:49.960 pretty simple, and I believe it worked, although I haven't 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:51.640 had it on long enough to know for sure if 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.560 it works. But the way this works is you selectively 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.400 dim your screen. But you don't do it the regular way. 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:01.400 You have to go to the iPhone set. You then 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:05.720 go to iPhone settings, you click on accessibility. You then 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:11.320 go to the display and tech size and you switch 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:16.080 on the reduced white point option. So that's the see 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:17.080 there's a little switch. 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.320 It says reduced transparency. 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:25.120 No, it's it says reduce white point. Let me let 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.480 me go do it right now, show you because I 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.040 did this earlier. So you click. 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:33.280 Oh, I see it, reduce white point to the bottom. 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.160 Yeah, so you click on that and then you can 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.440 adjust it. If you want better battery life, you would 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:41.400 make it dinner now. The only problem is if you 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:43.880 go outside or something like that and you're in the sunlight, 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.680 it might become a problem. But if you reduce it 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.600 a little bit, it'll it'll. 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.800 Help out, got it. Oh that's cool? 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:56.240 Yeah? Yeah, So I did that the other day right there, 0:08:56.480 --> 0:09:00.000 and there's a little hack. We'll see how good it goes. 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.680 So if you're concerned about battery life, and there's that 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:05.719 little slider Danny, you see you there, you can go 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:07.880 all the way down and see how dim you want 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:10.679 your phone to be, and it would reduce the whites 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:15.839 on your screen. And so far, so good, so cool. 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:20.160 First story from let's get scientifical. Uh here, let me 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.880 ask you this, how much how much weight do you 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:26.560 believe the average American is going to gain over the 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:29.440 next month with Thanksgiving Christmas? 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:32.839 I would guess eight pounds. 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:37.679 Did you see this story, Danny, it's oh it's exactly 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:38.480 eight pounds. 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.880 Wow, No, I swear I did not see this. 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.960 Yeah. Now, are you still going to stick to your diet? 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.640 What's your what's your plan here? I am yeah. Yeah. 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:51.200 In fact, people have left suits already on the counter 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:53.880 at FSR and I did not partake. 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:57.040 That's good, that's good discipline. You gotta have it. You 0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:00.240 gotta have it. You know. It takes like thirty sixty 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.200 I think it's sixty days, and then once that's a 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.400 new habit. Once you do like sixty days, you're good 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.680 to go after that. But three quarters of Americans are 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:13.240 planning to enjoy a festivus of epic proportions. According to 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:19.160 a new survey, seventy two percent of Americans want to 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:23.040 make the most of the end of twenty twenty three, 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:28.960 and most people the diet. Screw the diet. They're writing 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.959 off the end of the year, and they do estimate 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:38.320 in the holiday season, you're gonna get eight pounds. Expect 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.000 to get eight pounds every now, you Danny, because you're 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:43.640 on your diet, but eight pounds heavier. In twenty twenty two, 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.520 it was five and a half pounds, So we're getting it. 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.840 We're getting even deeper into the food here in twenty 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.240 twenty three. But I'm gonna I'm gonna stick to my 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:56.840 fasting and all that. I'm not you know, if you're 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:59.480 wondering what I'm doing. I mean, I'll eat decently. We 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.880 don't make turkey on Thanksgiving, so at least I don't 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.560 think we're making turkey. And I gotta do the TV 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:07.880 show and all that anyway, So I got a busy week, 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:09.679 so I'll figure out. I mean, I'll eat it. I'm 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:14.000 gonna eat well, but probably not go crazy. What else 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:17.760 do we have here? Oh? Very thankful people in the 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:21.400 United States? The average American? How many times a year, 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.400 Danny is the average American say thank you? According to 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:28.840 a new scientifical study in it, per year, how many 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:32.880 times do you say thank you? Wow, go your groucery, 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:34.240 somebody leaves the door open for you? 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.800 Yeah, oh man, I would I would guess a couple 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:39.280 thousand times in a year. 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:44.160 You're almost exactly right again, two two hundred times per 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:45.120 year on average. 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.560 Damn, I'm hot, right now, take me to Vegas instead 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:48.400 of Palm Springs. 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.120 Iron Man, you want to keep going here, you want 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:54.080 to keep going. I don't know if I have any 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:58.040 more questions like this, but yeah, they estimate the study 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.560 said two two hundred times a year. Now, there are 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:02.200 some people that are less, there are some people that 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.040 are more. There's some people that say thank you for everything. 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:06.080 There's other people say thank you for nothing. So it 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:10.320 obviously depends. Well, here's good news, Danny. Life expectancy is dropping. 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:14.559 American men dying six years earlier than women. So we're 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:16.920 gonna drop dead sooner than our wives, Dandy. That's exciting. 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:19.080 This is not good news. 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.920 Oh not good Hey, speaking of that, did you guys 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:23.920 on Kovino and Rich did you talk about the Dana 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:26.120 White story this week. That's a wild story where he 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.400 lost a bunch. He went on a fast, like a 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.080 water fast. Did you see that? 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:31.640 Yeah, he got all ripped up. 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:35.480 He went on an eighty something hour fast because he 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:37.199 went to some doctor that said he was going to 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:44.120 die in ten years. So that jump started his mission, 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.800 his mission for health. That was that was pretty wild. 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.319 I'm right there, man. I gotta make Coha's high school graduation. 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:53.360 You gotta go well on, you gotta beat the wedding. 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.240 The whole thing and all that, and you don't have 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.560 to pay for it. Is that custom still in effect 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:02.120 with the bride's family has to pay for the wedding. 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:03.960 Is that how that works? I don't know. 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.040 That doesn't sound very twenty twenty three of you. 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.559 Yeah, I don't know. I thought that was the way 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.640 it was. Well, just have him get have him a 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:15.280 lope when he gets older, and then you're saving the money. 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:16.880 Yeah, that sounds like a good plan. 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:20.199 Yeah. What else do we have here? See, you're doing science. 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:22.600 I think a scholarship too, that would be good. 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.959 Yeah. Are you thinking more football? Maybe raiders? You're thinking 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:28.240 you're gonna be a big guy like offensive line. 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:30.160 Are we thinking he's going to be a big I'm 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.960 thinking tight end or linebacker. 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.319 That'd be good. How about a pass rushing defensive end. 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:37.640 Yeah, that'll work. 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:43.800 He's gonna be like the next Robert Spulane, babe. 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.800 All right, what do we have here? How about this 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:52.400 years ago corner research scientists are saying that the days 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.319 were back in the early days of eurse history, at 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:58.480 one point, the days were nineteen hours long. That's it, 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.760 nineteen hours instead of the twenty four so instead of 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.720 the yeah, nineteen. You think, does that mean the days 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:08.200 will keep getting like someday twenty six hours in a 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.280 day or twenty seven hours in a day? Or is 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.600 it how my entire life has been twenty four? Right, 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.960 we've all been twenty five. But how does that work? 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:17.800 I'm not sure. I don't know. 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:20.960 You should be trying to shorten the workday, not make 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:21.480 it longer. 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:27.160 Yeah, that is that is true. Afternoon crash. Average person 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:33.000 hits the wall at blank time. You want to test 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:34.280 your luck again? What time? 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:41.160 Yeah? Most people hit the wall at three pm. 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:46.280 Oh, you are so close again day to thirty six. 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:48.160 Oh wow, you're off. 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.840 By twenty four minutes. That's pretty good. Now. I do 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.480 not hit the wall at two thirty six because I'm sleeping. 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:56.360 Usually I'm just getting up around two thirty six in 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.400 the afternue, so I usually don't. I don't really worry 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:00.440 about that. I don't have to I have to worry 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:02.800 about that. Well, here's another one of these science stories 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:04.840 where I roll my eyes at it and I'm like, ah, 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:10.200 this is probably nonsense. But noisy water oceans will be 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:14.640 five times louder by the year twenty one hundred five 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:16.480 times louder according to it. 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.160 Oh, I love hearing the sound of the ocean. 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:21.960 Does that mean we won't have to go on YouTube 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.280 to watch those videos of the waves? We'll just hear 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:26.359 them naturally? El natural? 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.800 Yeah, I have Lebron's calm app in my phone. 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:33.920 Oh is that right? Oh? Me nice? Yeah? All right, 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.200 all right, we got the mail bag. 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:36.440 Now. 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:38.360 I know we did this other stuff, but the mailbag 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.760 is the star of the show. That's the main event. 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:42.840 The mail bag. People love the mailbag and they also 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.200 love the jingle. So let's get to the jingle. It's 0:15:51.600 --> 0:16:02.000 this bag, thank you very much. First one on the mailbag. 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.440 These are actual letters by actual listeners. You do not 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:08.280 have to wait. You do not have to wait for 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.960 me to put a message out on social media. You 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:13.160 can just send these in anytime you want. Ben Maler 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:18.480 show on Facebook, but Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:22.120 Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Just make sure 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:24.200 that you have the Fifth Hour and the headlines and 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:27.480 we may read your question on the air. First one 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.680 from Mike in Fullerton's is Happy Thanksgiving, Ben and Danny G. 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.000 Have you guys been watching the best show on TV, 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:39.040 The Golden Bachelor. The finale is right around the corner, 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.640 and I'd like to hear who you guys think Jerry 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:44.840 should give the final rose to, and then he names 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:50.680 Leslie and Teresa. I guess I have not not seen 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.280 a second of the Golden Match. I've heard people talk 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:57.360 about it, but I got a lot of plates I'm spinning, 0:16:57.480 --> 0:16:59.680 So that's not one of the plates I've been spinning. 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:02.040 Have you gotten into that. 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:05.240 I'll give you the cheat code out of two of them. 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:10.080 Leslie is probably better looking, a little younger, slightly younger. 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:15.320 And the other gal that made the other girl who 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:19.000 made the final two. It was funny the other night 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:23.439 during the second to last episode, my wife, he said 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:25.160 she is boring. 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:29.840 Leslie's for the wind. 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:33.960 Yeah, he mentioned the other girl's name. What's her name, Teresa? 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.760 I believe, Yeah, she's like, she's so boring. 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:37.760 And she told me. 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.439 You notice they don't do two hour episodes of The 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:42.679 Golden Bachelor because it would be so boring. 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:48.360 Yeah, that's funny. They should do just a half hour 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:51.720 like Benny Versus Band half hour TV show. If I 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:53.960 could get a daily half hour TV show, that'd be 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:55.680 the easiest job in the world. 0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:58.920 You're not wrong, because the problem with the Golden Bachelor 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:05.480 is he's too nice, He's there's not a ton of drama. 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:09.200 You know, obviously you got more mature people on this show. 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:12.199 You don't have the twenty two year old, you know, 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:16.040 cat fighting with the twenty one year old. And also 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:19.359 the dates are boring. They're not skydiving, they're not doing 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:24.520 all these crazy dates. Instead, they're going wine tasting, and 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:28.359 so my chick was like, this is so boring, and 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:31.480 that's been the sentiment of a lot of people. I 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:34.399 guess they still have enough ratings to where they're going 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:36.760 to do it again because they've been running commercials saying 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:39.359 if you want to be the next Golden Bachelor or 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:42.280 a contestant, to turn your stuff in, and they give 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:44.600 the website, so they're going to do it again. 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:46.560 How old do you have to be to be the 0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:47.160 Golden Batch? 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:51.720 Sixty five and up something like that. Okay, he's seventy two. 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:55.240 I want to say, Jerry, Jerry is his name is 0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:55.880 seventy two? 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:59.800 Jerry? Sure? Yeah. Mike also says how important do you 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:03.679 think it is for cranberry sauce to be served with 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:08.560 Thanksgiving dinner? Yeah? Well, I'm not eating a traditional Thanksgiving 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:11.560 I do love cranberry you know what. I like the 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:16.160 Trader Joe's has that cranberry orange thing like this. Yeah, yes, 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:20.040 that's really good. I could just eat that. I'd be happy. 0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:23.640 That's really good. Shane and Seattle whites and says Ben 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:28.880 and Danny gene love the podcast. Is this Poppy band legit? 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:34.359 Is it a bit on the show? Yeah? So Danny, 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:37.360 this guy Poppy had called for a while from San 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:42.040 Diego and we gave him a bit on the show. 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:44.879 He likes to handicap. He's terrible at picking games, so 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:47.199 we gave him a bit on the show, and it 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:52.720 was picking with the chicken and farmer in Michigan loaned 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:56.440 us Abigail with chicken, and then the bit was Poppy 0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:59.280 pix a game and then Abigail picks a game and 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:02.359 who can pick more winters? So we did it on 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:02.760 the air. 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:04.959 Instead of a penny, it's a chicken. 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:07.080 Yeah, it's like the spin off, you know, because I 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:08.840 can't do it any versus the penn anymore because it's 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:10.520 the TV shows, I can't really do it on the radio. 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:15.720 So so anyway, so Poppy's like, okay, we got we'll 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:17.320 do it, and so we did it, and it was 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:20.199 fine whatever. It was cool seeing Abigail with chicken. And 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:23.200 then we find out by my Mallard militia foot soldiers, 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:26.359 my boot's on the ground, that Poppy's ripping the bit off, 0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:31.400 doing it on his own social media, making a mockery 0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:33.760 of the radio show. So I was like, all right, 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:36.080 well we're done with We're done with this, and then 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:38.080 you go do your own thing. I don't need this. 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:40.440 But I still allowed him to call in, and then 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:42.720 he kept spinning at the show. He was like, he 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:46.160 was disrespecting the show. If Poppy was a good caller, 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:49.399 I'd be like, okay, he's a good caller, we'll let 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:51.840 him crap on the show. But he's a terrible caller, 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:54.840 and he was crapping on the show. So I was like, 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:56.639 I don't really need that. They don't pay me to 0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:59.520 deal with idiots like this, so we banned him. Now 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:03.879 is the permanent I don't know right now. As of today, 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:06.919 he's not allowed back on the show. If somehow he 0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:10.280 reaches out and Jenya flex and admits that he has 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:12.800 been a terrible caller and will change his ways, I 0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:15.600 would be open to at some point after a certain 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:22.399 sentence of punishment allow him to come back if he 0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:25.560 is going into the octagon and battles it out with 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:28.480 some people. So Shane, to answer your question, it is real. 0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:33.600 I don't hate Poppy. I met him. He was a 0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:36.960 nice gentleman when I met him. It's not personal. But 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:39.760 I just don't have time for people to call the show. 0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:42.000 And you know, this is my life's work. I don't 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:44.240 have time for people to ship on the show. It's 0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:46.879 what I do. So that's it, you know. 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:50.439 Oh, I better scrap the YouTube show plans that I 0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:52.639 had for Danny versus the Nanny. 0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:56.840 I think that's got me picking a game. 0:21:56.680 --> 0:21:59.280 In our hot young nanny for cod picking a game, 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:02.000 wear hardly any clothes. 0:22:02.200 --> 0:22:04.600 See I When I heard Danny versus the Nanny, I 0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:07.000 thought that was like out in Chatsworth. You would be 0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:10.000 filming that out there. I thought it was a show 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:16.560 or a refined audience. I thought, but uh, thank you, Mike, 0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:19.600 and Rochester writes and he says, Ben and Danny g 0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:22.760 I wanted to get your guy. Oh this is a 0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:27.960 sporty question. Is this is a sporty question? He says, Uh, Ben, 0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:32.400
