I used 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:42.199 to call him Alex the Vegan. I might have to 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:46.120 call him something else. Give me a Ben from outer space. 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:49.239 You're like a goblin or something like that. I don't know. 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:53.559 You're amazing. I'm still trying to recover from yesterday's podcast. 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:56.840 I'm sure I'll get a lot of blowback from the 0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:59.160 Malard militia on that. What of that? 0:00:59.280 --> 0:00:59.480 Man? 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.400 What were you you're doing on that podcast? Let them 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.800 I loved it. That was great, Thank you, Bren. Yeah, 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:06.840 we know what on that road. 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:08.640 We should find a new nickname because I remember, and 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:10.800 unfortunately I know that we did this because of your 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:12.920 health condition. But I called you big gall bladder. And 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:15.399 I loved the same for it because it's great, you know. 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:17.839 I just love how we taken something that was life 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.920 threatening but turned into something almost enlightening and like fun 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:23.080 because it changed a lot of your health perspectives and everything. 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:25.479 We got to think of something cool, like otherworldly ty. 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:27.280 Shirt or something. I don't know, we'll find something, all right. 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.479 If anybody has the suggestion, send that into the mail bag, 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.759 which is what we're going to start here in a second, 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:37.119 and you can contact this on the mail bag every 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.600 Sunday as long as we have this podcast, and we 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:41.120 do it on Sundays, we have the mail bag, you 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:44.240 can send it Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com, 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:48.880 Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com and send your 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.840 name if you want credit on the show, and we'll 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:56.040 read some of these random questions. We haven't open Ohio. Aw, 0:01:56.480 --> 0:02:12.400 so we need to start this properly. Yes, it's all right, 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:15.440 Thank you the great Ohio. AL appreciate that as always. 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:20.440 So these are actual emails, some actual listeners to the show. 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:23.560 And I was debated there was I had like three 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.600 or four that were of the conspiracy theory kind of email. 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.760 I thought, well, when I originally put this together back 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.560 on Friday, I was like, well, I probably won't use 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.880 these because you know, you're more like the vegan guy 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.119 and all that. But but after yesterday's podcast, I think 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:44.200 that it's required that we go down this road. I 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:47.800 think that we have to go down this road, and 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:52.440 so we will. Mike writes in and he said, guys, 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.320 I want to know what you guys thought of a 0:02:55.480 --> 0:03:02.800 Simpsons episode being pulled from television after President Trump's assassination 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.760 attempt because it paralleled the incident. What do you guys 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.640 think about that? Well, I don't know anything about this, Alex, 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:13.960 this particular story, but my initial thought is the Simpsons 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:15.600 has been on the air for like thirty years, right, 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:20.679 at least thirty years. Oh, they've they've just thrown so yeah, 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.160 you're right, probably closer to forty years. Maybe it is 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:26.520 forty years. But they've put so many different episodes together, 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:30.679 so many different things that have taken place there that 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:35.200 people there is a thing called patternicity, yes, where people 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.960 look for patterns and things that aren't synchronicity, Yes, related 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.440 and all that stuff. So I know that's the case, 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:45.160 but it is wild over the years, how many things 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:49.400 that The Simpsons has put out there that have turned out. 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:52.920 To too many be very similar to real life. So well, see, 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:54.520 I've kind of looked into this a lot. And the 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.480 Matthew Groining guy that's like the creator of it and everything, 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.000 he trips me out because there's been interviews of him 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.880 where he's asked pretty blatantly about future predictions or just 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:07.720 kind of it's called like you're basically trying to lower 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:11.680 the sense of shock factor, right, So there's a term 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:13.400 for it where you put in front of people it'll 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.360 come back to me. But they basically said that The 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:18.480 Simpsons was created originally to be a fun show, a 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.680 cartoon for families to enjoy, but since it's fame and 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:25.200 it's following got so massive desensitized there, they wanted to 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:29.440 use it to not only desensitize, but to predictively program 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:33.520 individuals into what's coming because of mass belief and just 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.480 basically creating a lifestyle behind it that it brings it 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.640 to life. So per example, there's a thing called the 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:42.680 Mendela effect, and so Mendela back in the day, there 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.440 was this huge thing where everybody woke up and called 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:47.720 the news station and was like, what happened to Mandela? 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:48.400 What happened to him. 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:50.920 We heard he died, like I heard he got shot everything, 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:52.800 And the news station's freaking out. They're like, we don't 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.160 know anything. So they're looking into it that Mendela was fine, 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.239 he was just at home. But there was so many people, 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.400 it was like hundreds, if not thousands, that all had 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.720 the same quote unquote of him dying, and so they 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.680 all woke up and specifically said they remember it happening, 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.760 but they can't explain it. So to me, I have 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:11.839 this theory that The Simpsons is almost like that, but 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:15.680 more of a futuristic side, where they're predictively programming you 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.359 into telling you, in a sense, what is to come. 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:20.679 And so there was like this one scene I'll remember 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.080 that you're referencing with Trump where he's like going down 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.880 an escalator. Oh he's waving, dude, and there's like this 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:29.120 kid holding a sign and the same freaking thing plays 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.280 out scene for scene, and it's like, dude, is it 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:33.760 just telling us what's to come? Are they showing us 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.159 what they'll make? I don't know the specifics, but to me, 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.520 in an eternalized conversation, it really seems to me that 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.520 there is some kind of validity there of maybe either 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:46.040 they're predicting, showing or creating, because I do believe in 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:50.120 the Boogeyman concept, Ben, or sitting in something so long 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.640 and you believe it so much, Bloody Mary, bloody Mary, 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.440 bloody Mary. You almost believe it's real because your mind 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.480 gives it so much life. That's why I always say, 0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.520 be careful what you say. You could give it life, 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:02.520 would doubt, Ben, there is something there with the Simpsons. 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:04.880 And I even know this all references how you said 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.200 they pulled an episode. There's a big show on HBO 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.680 called The Boys. Have you heard of it? I have none, Okay, 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.600 So it's a superhero show. And basically they just released 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.760 a statement saying for the season finale, something along what 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.320 happened to Trump happens in the season finale. So they 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:22.240 just want to let everybody know it's all satire. It's 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.760 it's just a show. It's not real or show. It's 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.040 just wild. How so many things correlate. And I still 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:29.440 will say this, Ben, I don't know if you've touched 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.360 on it on the show. I don't think that was 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:33.240 real at all. The whole thing that happened with Trump. 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.680 I think it was set up, It was a plot. Everything, 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.159 it was just it just doesn't seem real. Oh, Ben, 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.560 how I'll just tell you this, who are the last 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:42.839 two presidents to get shot at? Are they still alive? 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:45.880 I'll just rest my case. It just doesn't seem because 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.240 he's raising his fist and he's standing there like a martyr, 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.479 like they just really want this guy to be the guy. 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.440 I feel they're trying anything to make him that dude. 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:57.440 Well, if it was so, you think that Trump people shot, No, 0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:59.760 I think it's deeper. I think the people who are 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.560 in this, like the ones who choose presidents and stuff, 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.040 I think they really want everybody to get behind him. 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.479 That's why they chose Biden, made him just k in 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:09.679 front of us. I think it's because where the world 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:13.280 is going, Ben, they need somebody quote unquote crazy that'll 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.280 do all this. That's why the Supreme Court passed that 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.560 crap that literally makes him a king. Now he doesn't 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.000 have to like there's no repercussions for shit he can do. 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.560 It's just fucking wild how they're setting everything up to 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.240 basically have it to where shit can pop off once 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.480 he gets into office and everybody will back him and 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.600 say like you know trauma is like, dude, I don't know, 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.080 just from what I've seen listen to and see just 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:34.760 heard from in front of us and went back and 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:36.920 watched it. I don't know, Ben, Like, how do you 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.240 set all that up and missed? Like, I don't know, dude, 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.560 it's just it's too weird. The play out, how he 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.000 showed himself secret Service reaction, people in the crowd. 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:47.200 It just seemed like a scene to me. I don't know, personally, 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.040 I can't prove it. Of course it was a scene. Yeah, 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:52.280 like I I'll leave that. He'll be on your own 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:54.360 ar on that. I will. That's fine, that's why. And 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.840 I'm not going there. But you mentioned the Mandela effective. 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.280 I have used a lot over the years. It's a 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.800 similar concept. There was this movie back in the nineteen 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.480 sixties called The Man that Shot Liberty Van Yes, Yes, 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:09.000 And the line in that was when the legend becomes 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:10.880 the fact, you print the legend right. And it's the 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.400 same a concept. When enough people believe something, you go 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.680 with this like the tinker Bell effect is another way 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.520 to say that, right, that if people believe that fairies 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.200 are real, fairies are real, right, I mean, if enough 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.800 people put force into it. I mean even history Ben, 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:28.040 who's his story? How do we know everything's real? We don't, 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:33.880 all right, Next up on the mail bag, Well, this 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.000 is right in your wheelhouse. And I wasn't going to 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:39.880 use this one, but this is from Dave in southern California. 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:42.880 He says, Hey guys, he said hi Danny, but he 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:44.800 didn't know you were here. But this is better for 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:49.120 you than Danny Alex. He says, UCLA is going to 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:52.800 be they're trying to build a plant filled rooftop garden. 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:56.319 He said, he read this this week. Okay, design specifically 0:08:56.400 --> 0:09:02.400 for psychedelic assisted therapy sessions at UCLA. Okay, would you 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.680 guys be interested in this? Now? This was for me 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:07.920 and Danny, not for you. It sounds like you've already 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:11.360 taken part in some of these psychedelic assistant therapy sessions. 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:15.720 Yes, and you enjoyed your time doing thousand percent. I 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:18.480 think personally, not only this is a great idea, but 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.360 there's been studies done now that are actually clinically done, 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:25.960 studies with backing from majors colleges and actually different type 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.000 of big known like I think even what is it 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.559 called Kaiser's getting on this, but they're testing on people 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.520 with like schizophrenia, they're testing on people with PTSD, they're 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.840 testing with people with multiple personality disorders. Like there's so 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.680 many things that they're testing these on. It's almost like 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.640 it's opening some part of the cerebral in our brains 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.960 that's letting us be more interjecting and opening to different 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:48.480 things or healing certain things. So to me, I think 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.240 it's the same concept of marijuana. I know, marijuana was 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.640 illegalized and all that stuff because you know, the black 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:55.480 man's gonna write people, but they like try to do 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:57.080 this whole thing, because if you go back then, it 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.320 was just because of the paper industry was scared of 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:00.839 hemp could have taken over. 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.000 It's cheaper, it's more durable, et cetera. 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:04.880 They were terrified of it, and they didn't like how 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.160 the stoners in the seventies and sixties were fighting back 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.120 about like why are we numb? Like where are we 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:11.559 just peace and love? They hated that crap. So to me, 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:13.840 I think this is the same concept that since it 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.360 has so much benefits to opening up people's minds and 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:19.440 healing and having these abilities, people are scared of it. 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.200 And that's why the whole merit. The narrative behind has 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.480 been so negative because we didn't know any better. So 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.720 I truly believe, just like marijuana, it has healing effects, 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:30.200 but it is a double edged sword. Ben everything is. 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.079 You can eat too much, you could drink too much water. 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:34.400 I just believe if you do it for healing purposes 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.240 and it's used in a clinical setting or a very 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.440 safe setting, or something that people can be protected by 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:42.880 or watch or observed kind of like a DD like 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.400 a designated driver for people drinking, I think it can 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:47.640 be a very enlightening experience if you're open to it, 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.000 and something that could heal you and kind of kill 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.120 your ego to think better of yourself. So I'm all 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:53.160 for it, dude, I love it. 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.400 Yeah, well, I I don't know that I love it. 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:58.640 I would like to see if there's ways. We have 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:01.000 so many people that listen to our Overnight show that 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:03.640 have a lot of veterans that were in the military. Yes, 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:07.640 have really serious problems from stuff they saw that no 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:11.520 human beings should see in battle, and they're they're really 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.360 in tough shape and they can't sleep, they don't live 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:18.480 normal lives. If there's some kind of magic mushroom that 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:20.920 you could take, and that's what they're doing, like clinical trials. 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:24.559 I'm totally for that. The problem, obviously, there's really no 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:26.599 way to get around this is you go to places 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:30.680 like La and San Francisco where there are people who 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:34.920 are using psychedelic drugs walking around like it's a zombie 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:40.040 apocalypse bobeah, And that's the that's what people think of 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:43.840 when they think of those drugs. They think of going 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:48.160 to San Francisco and you're wandering around and you're like, well, 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.960 wait a minute, here is what is going on. Zombie 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:57.920 apocalypse movie. Here, this is the Tenderloin district and everyone's 0:11:57.920 --> 0:11:59.719 walking around like they don't know where they are, who 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:01.640 they are. Yeah, they're fried. I get you. 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:03.959 And like, there's a big thing now that's called microdosing 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.080 where people will take like a gram or less every 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:08.680 single day for a week and live an entire week 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.360 basically on a low dosage of a psychedelic adventure. And 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:12.640 so I've seen that. 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:13.160 I get it. 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.360 And it's just like alcohol though, ben like people can 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:19.199 drink every day. There's alcoholics and they're function functioning alcoholics. 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.720 I see it with the same concept. But to me, 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:23.760 I think it's all again about the direction and the 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:25.760 focus and what you're using it for. So a lot 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:27.600 of veterans and people who have been through some really 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.680 mind altering and depleting and just disastrous things where you 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:32.640 literally can't get it out of your head. What if 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.800 it's possible to take something in a controlled environment where 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.160 it makes you face these demons and have this better 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.720 innerstanding of it to move forward from it that you 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.920 were incapable of before. I think that's something at least 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:47.079 of interest or investment to help people live better lives. Dude, Like, 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.240 That's what I'm about. But again, Ben, you are right, 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:50.920 it doesn't matter what we do. There's always going to 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.720 people who harass it or overuse it or abuse it. 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.439 I do know that, But I just think the positivities 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:58.200 to it and the things that can help are so 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.360 much more invested. And it just comes down to people 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:02.160 being mature, Ben, like, just no one to do it. 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.160 Don't drink every day. Maybe have it at like a 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.360 wedding or something like, don't trip out on trooms every day, 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:08.480 get together with good people, go to Joshua Tree and 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.439 do it and just experience something, you know, like it's 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:11.960 just it's simple to me, you know, I don't think 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.440 it has that crazy go out to the woods. 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:17.800 All right. Next on the mail bag, we have Reggie. 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:19.520 He did not say worries from I think Reggie's the 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.080 guy from Detroit that's emailed us a few times. Reggie 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:25.559 with questions. He says, Ben, I know you love Costco. 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:30.040 They are now selling emergency food kids that have a 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:34.760 twenty five year shelf life. And is this something that 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.160 you would be interested in when you go to costcom? 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:45.040 So Reggie, I, A, I've never heard of that. Be Ah, 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:52.280 I don't know. He says. They have alex, they have pasta, alfredo, teriaki, rice, 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:56.240 other food dishes that you can make up to one 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.000 hundred and fifty servings. Well, what happened? Here's my thing? 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.760 Reggie's like, what happens when you get to you need 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:03.120 serving one fifty one? 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:03.559 What do you? 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:07.199 What do you do? Then say that's it? We're done? Yes, 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:11.560 I don't. Are you a doomsday pepper guy? You're not. 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.400 So you do not go down there. No, because this 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.600 is simple, Ben. If the entire society the grid crashes, 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.480 no one's surviving. Nobody knows how to forest, Nobody knows 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:23.000 how to forage. Nobody has like farming a nobody's prepared 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.200 for it, dude, And especially in cities and where we live, 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:28.080 we're all theft like it's there's no way to survive that. 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:29.680 And if you want a hermit and live in your 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.200 house for years, to say, how does that sound fun? 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.040 How is that enjoyable? If you're not prepared living off 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.000 grid already and have your own land that's ten twenty 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:40.640 miles away from all of society, you're not gonna survive. 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.560 And if you try to, it's not gonna be like 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.640 these fun movies, like a quiet place or a zombiepot. 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:47.520 It's not gonna be fun. You're gonna be in hell. 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.160 It's gonna be terrifying. Everybody's gonna lose their shit. There's 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:52.920 no civil anymore. It's gonna dude. It's just preparing for 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.920 that kind of stuff. It's just a propaganda of selling 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:58.120 you shit you're not gonna use, because trust me, when 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.520 shit pops off like that, Ben, you're not to survive. 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:02.280 You're not even gonna get to one hundred and fifty. 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.200 Like you said, it's impossible. You don't know how to 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.520 clean water. You don't know how to prepare yourself from 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:08.960 radiation client. Like, dude, I just say, if you're gonna 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.080 be like somebody like that Ben, you better do all 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:12.760 of it right. Like, I don't want to see you 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:14.640 tip your toes in the radium. Oh yeah, I worked there, 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:16.000 you know, on the weekends. But I'm gonna be a 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:17.880 coast to coast hot. You better live and breathe it 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:19.720 every day, you know what I'm saying. Like, I think 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:21.880 it's just such a stupid concept. And if you're not 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:25.560 really doing all of it, don't waste your time. Although, Reggie, 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:29.360 from what you describe here, like one hundred dollars for 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:31.360 one hundred and fifty meals. If it's not bad, You're 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:32.200 luck is not bad. 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:36.360 It's not I mean, forget waiting for an emergency. I mean, 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:40.600 that's that's a pretty good value, right. I don't think 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:42.680 it tastes very good. I don't know. Maybe it tastes fine, 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.080 But these are these meals probably where you just had water, 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.040 I would guess, r yes, yes, So what if there's 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:48.960 no water? What if there's no clean water? You go? 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.520 How do you make your pasta alfredo? If there's no water? 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.360 What are you supposed to do no idea. I want 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:59.600 my pasta Alfredo. What's wrong with you? Come on, I 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:04.360 need my Terryoki Rice. Shame on you. I'm just telling you. Ben. 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:06.360 I'm on TikTok a bunch and I see all these 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:09.000 doomed Today pressers. They're like, you need to have this generator, 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.880 you need to have this book. Nobody's gonna survive. Okay, 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:15.040 stop it stop just you're not prepared. Okay, Like stop, 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:16.280 all right, there you go. 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.920 What is next? It's the mail bag, Alex. We're doing 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.680 coast to coast audition weekend here on the show. I 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:27.360 think we're doing damn good on this. Ryan from Shrewsbury 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.560 in mass writes in in the Commonwealth says, Hello, gentlemen, 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:33.400 I'm trying to become a regular emailer to the show. 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.440 I've sent emails before, but this is the first email 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:41.480 as an engaged man. Wow, congratulatives. Congratulations Ryan. He says, 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.120 I proposed back on July fourth, and it was a 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:48.400 perfect day in time to propose, and I'm I'm very 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:51.720 excited for the future. See that's a smart move, because 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:54.840 you'll never July fourth, You'll never forget. You don't have 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.400 to work unless you're work in radio, and then you 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.560 might be forced to work. Yeah, exactly, But if you 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:02.360 have a real job outside of the business, you don't 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:04.160 have to worry about that, and so you don't work 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:06.400 on the fourth July. You know what it is? Every year, 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:09.560 it's always like a big event, and so that's wonderful. 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:11.800 My niece was actually born on the fourth of July, 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:14.600 so she'll never have to go to school on her birthday. 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:17.200 A little kid. She's eight years old, but she'll never 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:21.040 have to go to school on her birthday. And Ryan said, 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:23.199 very excited about the future. My question is, how do 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:25.280 you guys think. Who do you guys think is the 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:28.880 greatest TV character of all time? I personally think it's 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:35.719 Tony Tony Sperano or Sporrano. Soprano soprano. I'm confusing him 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:41.320 with the Dolphins, he says, Tony Soprano or Walter White. 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:45.199 He says, very close. Second, Wow, that's going to Ryan. Well, 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.880 I'm old school. I love like mcgiver. Back in the day, 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.160 I thought mcgiver could fix everything with a Swiss army 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:52.400 knife and some duct tape. I thought that was pretty cool. 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.359 Homer Simpson, Yes, very relatable to a lot of people. 0:17:56.400 --> 0:18:01.679 Homer Simpson, Right, what about you? Do you consume boo entertainment? 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:04.120 Alex Is. I don't feel like you consume a lot 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:06.280 of the entertainment. I don't think this is really in 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:07.800 your wheelhouse. Is that correct? 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:11.480 Well, you are correct as to now, this present me 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:14.760 does not consist of movies, television, any of that stuff. 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:17.600 I've been very inner growth of inderstanding my own thoughts 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:19.679 and stuff. Right, but I will tell you through my 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:22.840 escapade of entertainment watching when I was younger, high school, college, 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:25.760 et cetera. I'm such a LOYALISTIL kind of like mold 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.760 this question. I love so many of Jim Carrey's roles, 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:31.280 Like I mean, you can go through any of them, 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:34.280 from The Mask or from ace Ventura or even when 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:38.080 he plays what's the one where he's in the Truman Show. Like, 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:41.720 he has such an interesting ability to become these characters 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:44.320 that are so engaging to me because it shows the 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:47.920 ability of depth of being everything right, like no holding back. 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:50.320 He's like one of a kind like Robin Williams to me. 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:53.080 So those type of actors and the roles they play, 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:55.560 they're so iconic to me. I feel like there's just 0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:58.160 something that can't be done again, if that makes sense, 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:00.560 And there's so many people who try to emulate it. 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.080 It's insane to me. But I think that that's the 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:04.520 best way to answer it, because I can't think of 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:08.320 a specific character that really just stands the test of time. 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:10.560 For me, that's just that above the rest. 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:15.000 Right, are you? Like you're talking about the the remakes 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.840 of these old like Indiana Jones they've yeah made with 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:21.879 different characters, or Star Wars. Right. I watched the first 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:24.880 three episodes of Star Wars and then I haven't seen 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:27.680 any of them since they're terrible. Now, don't waste your time. 0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:28.359 That's it. 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:30.600
