Speaker 1: Kutbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: It's a clearinghouse of hot takes. Break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air Ayway. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Speaker 1: Maller and Danny g Radio and a Happy Sunday due
Speaker 1: it's National Brownie Day today. It's a recovery day after
Speaker 1: the malar ugly sweater party that took place last night.
Speaker 1: What a shindig yet again, we'll I want to as
Speaker 1: we like to say, and I know Terry and England
Speaker 1: specifically loves this when we do this on Sunday, Danny,
Speaker 1: Terry always gets excited when we point out when we
Speaker 1: have a big event on a Saturday. What we like
Speaker 1: to do here on the Fifth Hour podcast is let
Speaker 1: it breathe. Right, you always say, Danny, let it breathe
Speaker 1: kind of thoughts and all that, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3: It has nothing to do with the timing of the
Speaker 3: podcast or anything like that. Oh, we don't record this
Speaker 3: a week ago, you know what I mean? Like otherwise, Ben,
Speaker 3: how how would you even know it was passover if
Speaker 3: we recorded this two weeks ago?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: No idea, no idea, you know. And it was a
Speaker 1: of course that was a metaphorical passover on yesterday, it.
Speaker 3: Was, but it was I heard it was a drug
Speaker 3: fueled party. Maybe a third criminals, and then half of
Speaker 3: the crowd there was like pd. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, as somebody pointed out, you know, it's tough when
Speaker 1: you invite radio people because most people on radio have
Speaker 1: a you know, criminal history, and then you have police
Speaker 1: who are there.
Speaker 3: But yeah, your wife at one of your party, she said,
Speaker 3: how could you guys smoke back here? Do you know
Speaker 3: how many laws officers are here?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well the good thing is police officers usually when
Speaker 1: they're not on duty, very very chill, very they like
Speaker 1: to have I like to have a good time. They're
Speaker 1: pretty pretty relaxed. Today is National Lard Day, So if
Speaker 1: you enjoy some pig fat, I.
Speaker 3: Feel like you just made that up.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, Every December eighth is National lard Day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like real okay, so real lard because My
Speaker 3: mom used to tell my stepdad, would you get off
Speaker 3: your lard ass?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, you know, I know, yeah for sure,
Speaker 1: but no, it's actually a pig fat has been a
Speaker 1: staple going back, you know, many many years. Bad publicity,
Speaker 1: of course for pig fat led to the introduction of
Speaker 1: vegetables shortening Howard Stern's old PD pig fat. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's uh, that's great. I love that. Lard over butter, Lard,
Speaker 1: a cheaper substitute, became a popular became a popular as
Speaker 1: butter in the nineteenth century, but in the early nineteen hundreds,
Speaker 1: negative publicity. Demand slowed down for lard following the release
Speaker 1: of Upton Sinclair's novel The Jungle, which generated bad publicity
Speaker 1: for the product. Nineteen oh seven, Lard without pig fat,
Speaker 1: a German chemist, introduced especially concocted product that led to
Speaker 1: the invention of crisco. So then that I mean, I
Speaker 1: give you all kinds of lard facts. It's all about lard.
Speaker 1: It's also national It's National Brownie Day today and I
Speaker 1: did make some brownies for the malar Ugly Sweater Party.
Speaker 1: The brownie from the Palmer House Hotel in eighteen ninety three,
Speaker 1: the Great Bertha Palmer, prominent Chicago socialite, husband owned the hotel,
Speaker 1: and they were futzing around there in that kitchen and
Speaker 1: they ended up coming up with the brownie. Just think
Speaker 1: if you were around before eighteen ninety three and you
Speaker 1: you had not had the delicious brownie, but the Palmer
Speaker 1: House brownie legend. They should have kept that under wraps there.
Speaker 1: And then the Brownie Scouts, the Girl Scout Brownie group,
Speaker 1: they were originally called the Rosebuzz. That was in nineteen.
Speaker 1: I mean, I got I gotta full of fuck, you know.
Speaker 1: Let's get to the mail bag. Let's get to thetail bag.
Speaker 3: Here we go, let's go, Ohio, get off your lard butt.
Speaker 3: It's bag.

Speaker 1: own big board.
Speaker 3: So he's pro bono producing.
Speaker 1: He's helping you out, Dan. He says, Danny got Brian Billick.
Speaker 1: This list should be a piece of cake. Number five.
Speaker 1: Number five, He says, number five is Bernie Fortello, but
Speaker 1: I think he means Bernie Fratto.
Speaker 3: Bernie Frato. He wants Bernie on number four.
Speaker 1: For Chris Myers, my old partner, Chris Myers form the
Speaker 1: NFL on Fox.
Speaker 3: Oh, he kids, because he cares.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can guarantee you, Marcus, we're gonna have Chris
Speaker 1: Myers on this podcast. In fact, the holidays are coming up, Danny,
Speaker 1: so you know, do some interview podcasts.
Speaker 3: Well, Ben, thank you for having me on number three.
Speaker 1: I can guarantee you Chris Miles to come on because
Speaker 1: he's pimping a book, so I will guarante that will
Speaker 1: come on number three. The pe Petrose Papa Dakas that
Speaker 1: is Petros is you know?
Speaker 3: Ye, I go back with Pee. I used to dial
Speaker 3: him up every week to be on Klay Travis's show.
Speaker 1: You had. I knew Petrols when he played running back
Speaker 1: or full back at USC and they were terrible, and
Speaker 1: we had him on as a guest when he was
Speaker 1: playing in college at SC, so I've I've known him
Speaker 1: since those days. And Petro's very kind over the day.
Speaker 1: I know him much better than Matt money Smith. I
Speaker 1: know Matt a little bit, but I don't know him
Speaker 1: that Petros. I have his number.
Speaker 3: We yeah once a while, dude, that guy's good on
Speaker 3: the radio in the afternoon with Petros, but he's one
Speaker 3: of the worst play by play guys in the whole league.
Speaker 1: All right, that was not helpful. Chargers number two, number
Speaker 1: number number two. It is from Marcus and san Antonio's
Speaker 1: is not a list, it's a big board and he
Speaker 1: wants us to break it all down here. These are
Speaker 1: people he wants to have on and a number two
Speaker 1: Clay Travis Clay. Would you think Clay would do this?
Speaker 1: You think Clay?
Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, he probably would.
Speaker 1: All right, I'd love to have Clay. I want to
Speaker 1: know what it's like to be in that world, like
Speaker 1: to go from sports guy to political guy and have
Speaker 1: to deal with all the political bullshit that you have
Speaker 1: to deal with.
Speaker 3: The problem with getting him to do an interview is
Speaker 3: he's distracted a lot with everything going on around him. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so I feel like it would be like an eighteen
Speaker 3: minute interview. And then remember who did you talk to?
Speaker 3: Where they had to go because they were in the car.
Speaker 1: It was that rams uh Jackie Slater.
Speaker 3: Yes, remember how the Slater interview ended?
Speaker 1: What in the world.
Speaker 3: He's like, Ben, They're telling me I got to get
Speaker 3: out of the car now, And it was so awkward
Speaker 3: the ending of that. I feel like maybe Clay would
Speaker 3: get cut off like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we put on for a few minutes. If
Speaker 1: you if, well, we should get him on at some point.
Speaker 1: I'd love to find out, because that's that's wild.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: He you talk about big time jobs and you know,
Speaker 1: I mean he worked with Clay for a while, but
Speaker 1: to replace Rush Limbaugh, Holy crap. I mean that is
Speaker 1: he was the biggest star in radio for thirty years,
Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh.
Speaker 3: And yeah, yeah, we stood outside of his La studio
Speaker 3: like little kids. Yeah, you were trying to get his pen.
Speaker 1: I did get him. I did get his pen. I
Speaker 1: have a pen in my collection. But yeah, I told
Speaker 1: the I was telling the rain of the story of
Speaker 1: the and I think I said this on the air.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I talk a lot Danny, as you know, so I
Speaker 1: don't know if it was on the air or off
Speaker 1: the air, who knows. But we were having a conversation
Speaker 1: about when limb Ball came out to do the show
Speaker 1: and how he was such a big deal. He only
Speaker 1: did the show from LA a week or two a year,
Speaker 1: but he has own studio, and they'd send out memos
Speaker 1: at premiere, like you got to dress up. Rush is
Speaker 1: gonna be here. You know, everyone clean up. They'd always
Speaker 1: make sure it was nice and all that.
Speaker 3: Rush body guard security.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but then Rush would get dropped off from a
Speaker 1: limo and he'd walk in smoking a cigar. Didn't really care,
Speaker 1: you know, you just want to do a show and
Speaker 1: get tell out of there. It was as I remember it, Yeah, it.
Speaker 3: Was crazy because I did drugs with him in the
Speaker 3: FSR bat.
Speaker 1: Well, who hasn't you know? That's anyway and number one,
Speaker 1: number one Marcus and san Antonio. He says, in no
Speaker 1: way is this a list. This is his own big board,
Speaker 1: he says, toe knee brew. No, the great Tony Bruno.
Speaker 1: It's an outrage.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we've had Tony on a.
Speaker 3: Couple of times. Yeah, yeah, been there, done that.
Speaker 1: Tony will absolutely come back. I love Tony. Tony was
Speaker 1: one of my heroes in radio when I was younger,
Speaker 1: and he's living the great life there in Florida. So yeah,
Speaker 1: of this, definitely we can get Bernie, Chris Myers. I
Speaker 1: think Petros would do it. Timing would be a problem
Speaker 1: on that because of our schedules trying to get a
Speaker 1: time to have him do the pod. Clay that's up
Speaker 1: to you, Danny, if you can see if Clay will
Speaker 1: do it. And Tony, I definitely. You know, Tony's a
Speaker 1: buddy of mine, so I could definitely get Tony. So
Speaker 1: I think we could do all five of them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a doable list. We just need all questions preapproved, Like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta Bernie Fratto's good to a man that we send
Speaker 1: a list of questions.
Speaker 3: Yes, Bernie Fratto's personal PR director is gonna have to
Speaker 3: uh okay everything oh man.
Speaker 1: Uh And Marcus says, I'll never forget waking up to
Speaker 1: Tony Bruno doing play by play on nine to eleven.
Speaker 1: If you can only get one, get Tony on here
Speaker 1: so we can hear a great conversation between the uh,
Speaker 1: he says, a couple of Hall of famers. We're very
Speaker 1: kind of you to say, not a Hall of Famer
Speaker 1: Tony is though. I think Tony's in Loby, Happy Honick,
Speaker 1: and merry Christmas. Call Marcus in San Antonio. Thank you, Marcus,
Speaker 1: and we will effort that. We'll have to figure out
Speaker 1: we'll have to time out the schedule, Danny. So the
Speaker 1: weekends that we don't want to do the live will
Speaker 1: do the they call that. They call them bank shows.
Speaker 1: Isn't that what they call them bank shows? When you
Speaker 1: do an interview earlier in the weeks, like a bank show.
Speaker 3: The producers in the hallway, they're like, it's in the can.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. So we'll have plan that we
Speaker 1: get Christmas and we've gotten New Year's and so those
Speaker 1: weeks that were probably not going to be all that
Speaker 1: interested in coming in here, we'll just line up Bernie
Speaker 1: and Myers and Petros and Clay and Tony and all that.
Speaker 3: Will conference call all of them and it will be
Speaker 3: the party line from hell.
Speaker 1: Oh what a nightmare that would be? All right. Next
Speaker 1: up on the Mailbag, ALF from the Sunshine State Rights
Speaker 1: and he says, Hey, Ben and Danny, since you've been
Speaker 1: met up with your former podcast partner recently, can you
Speaker 1: confirm the rumor that he recently moved in with former
Speaker 1: Mailbag contributors Helen and Stu in Florida. From ALF, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened to Helen Stue.
Speaker 3: I don't think they're with us any longer.
Speaker 1: At the same time, though, they both checked out at
Speaker 1: the same time.
Speaker 3: Well, when you're connected at the hip like that, one
Speaker 3: usually goes and one follows pretty quickly shortly after.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I hope not. I hope I'm wrong, But it was
Speaker 3: weird how they just completely disappeared all of a sudden.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it's easier my experience doing the podcast on
Speaker 1: the radio show. When there's power couples that listen to
Speaker 1: the show man and woman, there's two reasons they stopped listening.
Speaker 1: One is their dead, the other is they get divorced.
Speaker 1: Remember we had the couple in Kentucky that sent the
Speaker 1: North Kentucky hat I got.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do remember them. Yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 1: They broke up. They got divorced. That's why they stopped listening,
Speaker 1: because they was they listened together to the show, and
Speaker 1: then when they got divorced, they wanted nothing to do
Speaker 1: with each other because they you know, they got divorced,
Speaker 1: and so they do.
Speaker 3: Do you think you're in the divorce papers like with
Speaker 3: the attorneys at the table?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Probably yes, who gets custody of mallor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the the Hilltop or what was it call the
Speaker 1: team Northern Kentucky or something like that hill I think
Speaker 1: it was Hilltopp or something.
Speaker 3: I forget.
Speaker 1: It's a funny hat. Though it's cool at Mike snowed
Speaker 1: in and Fullerton writes and says, hey, Ben and Danny g.
Speaker 1: Winter hasn't started yet, but it sure feels it came earlier.
Speaker 1: In Fullerton, Burr. It's too cold to be outdoors for long.
Speaker 1: So the past the time, I've just been drinking hot cocoa,
Speaker 1: playing Monopoly and listening to your fine podcast. Have you
Speaker 1: guys ever been snowed in before? And have you ever
Speaker 1: finished the game of Monopoly? It's not easy, believe me,
Speaker 1: says Mike uh snowed No, I've never been snowed in.
Speaker 1: I've been a kid. I went on a camping trip
Speaker 1: when I was in junior high school. It was snow
Speaker 1: it was pretty cool.
Speaker 3: We didn't get snowed in.
Speaker 1: Uh. I've been in snow several times over the years,
Speaker 1: but usually in cities, and you're not snowed in when
Speaker 1: you're in a city. So no, And I don't remember
Speaker 1: ever finishing a Monopoly game. Usually what Monopoly just decided
Speaker 1: to stop at some point and you just give up.
Speaker 1: That's usually how that works. What about you, Danny, ever
Speaker 1: snowed in anywhere? No?
Speaker 3: I met that player snowed in who plays for the
Speaker 3: Raiders defense.
Speaker 1: Hey, no, No, I thought that was That was the
Speaker 1: guy in Russia. That's remember the snowed whistle guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that guy. No.
Speaker 3: The closest I've ever come to freezing to death. I
Speaker 3: spent a weekend up in Big Bear. As you know,
Speaker 3: it gets super cold and snow's a lot there. I
Speaker 3: couldn't find an uber. I had no idea that ubers
Speaker 3: and lyfts were almost non existent in that little town.
Speaker 3: So I went to like this cool little bar that
Speaker 3: had live music, and I stayed till like one thirty
Speaker 3: in the morning, paid my tab and then tried to
Speaker 3: get an uber and there was nothing. So I had
Speaker 3: to walk all the way back to the little cabin
Speaker 3: I had, and I almost froze to death. You killed it.
Speaker 1: I had. My coldest night was in Stanford, Connecticut. I
Speaker 1: was doing stuff at NBC and I was standing at
Speaker 1: a hotel. It was like four blocks right, so I
Speaker 1: said it was It was in the wintertime, and it
Speaker 1: was I know, it was cold, and all you know,
Speaker 1: I'd flown in from La I was there. I'd go
Speaker 1: out for like a week and then come back. I
Speaker 1: did one week a month. So I was there, it
Speaker 1: was winter, it was cold, whatever, and I was going
Speaker 1: to meet some of the guys that work on the
Speaker 1: show over at Bobby Bobby V's Bobby Valentine's restaurant over
Speaker 1: there in Kennetic. So I looked on my phone. I
Speaker 1: could get a taxi or an uber or whatever they had,
Speaker 1: or I could just walk. This probably goes back to
Speaker 1: many twenty eleven, twenty twelve, so it's been a while.
Speaker 1: But anyway, I'm walking and it wasn't that bad walking there,
Speaker 1: but on the way back, oh my god, it was
Speaker 1: so cold. My hand. I couldn't feel my hands. My
Speaker 1: nose was all like red. No, it was so terrible.
Speaker 3: It is a scary feeling when you're walking and you
Speaker 3: start losing feeling in your hands. And I remember slipping.
Speaker 1: On black ice racist.
Speaker 3: I couldn't find my footing and I thought to myself,
Speaker 3: how the hell do people do this for an entire season?
Speaker 1: That's well, you don't go out much, I guess. Ryan
Speaker 1: Sea writes in from the Commonwealth. He says, hey, Ben
Speaker 1: and Danny sucks to hear that masshole Mickey, I'll hear
Speaker 1: about mass Will mackeyrit May he rest in peace. Guys.
Speaker 1: If you don't know, I am in Shrewsbury, mass which
Speaker 1: is in Worcester County, so the Malor meet and greet.
Speaker 1: I am in for Polar Park from my doorstep up
Speaker 1: is seven minutes away. Also, I'm trying to get my
Speaker 1: intern internship with the Wooster wo Socks or the Worcester
Speaker 1: Red Sox, take your preference. When is this potentially happened?
Speaker 1: He says, that's much love that is from Ryan. So yeah, Ryan,
Speaker 1: this is somebody that Massel Mickey before he died, was
Speaker 1: he was going to make happen We've had another listener
Speaker 1: who has picked up the ball on this, but it's
Speaker 1: really dependent on the TV show it gets picked up
Speaker 1: for season three. We do the show out of Boston,
Speaker 1: so I will be there usually late July early August,
Speaker 1: and it's just dependent on that. If they pick up
Speaker 1: season three of the TV show, then I'll be back
Speaker 1: there filming stuff for the TV show and meeting with
Speaker 1: those people, and then I'll have a couple extra days
Speaker 1: to play around with and I'd like to enjoy it
Speaker 1: in New England. I love that area, and so I
Speaker 1: will let you guys know, and we'll hopefully be able
Speaker 1: to plan an event if the Woo Socks are in.
Speaker 1: If they're in the Woo Woo Socks, that would be
Speaker 1: a lot of fun I'd have.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got to get some sort of little tribute
Speaker 3: there at the stadium for Masshole Mickey.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. Great dude with big supporter of ours obviously,
Speaker 1: and a guy that's trying to live his life. Man,
Speaker 1: just stay out help problem. And I'm not sure exactly
Speaker 1: what led to the accident it was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was no Hey, Benny, even if one of
Speaker 3: our Mallard Militia members spray paints his name on the stadium.
Speaker 3: That would be awesome. Not that we.
Speaker 1: Recommend vandalism, but if it were to happen, No, it's yeah.
Speaker 3: If it's very tastefully done and you duct Tapa banana
Speaker 3: next to it.
Speaker 1: It's hard. Yeah, both millions of dollars. Yeah, Kevin in
Speaker 1: Kansas rights in. He says, Dear Ben and Danny g.
Speaker 1: Both of you live busy lives and you both have
Speaker 1: pets as medias stars with your full schedule. How nice
Speaker 1: is that media stars, big star? Right, you're chasing your
Speaker 1: kid around?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: Do you have neighbors, friends, sitters come in and check
Speaker 1: on your animals? Us from Kevin, we have a couple
Speaker 1: of people that will watch the the the animal that
Speaker 1: the dogs. We have two and they need to be
Speaker 1: fed obviously twice a day, and they're there are they're
Speaker 1: high maintenance, high maintenance. So we'll we'll have somebody that
Speaker 1: will stay and hang out of the house. We've actually
Speaker 1: had the handyman who has We're probably not going to
Speaker 1: do that anymore, Nanny, for obvious reasons. The handyman likely
Speaker 1: watching the dogs anymore. Based based on the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks with the dropping of the paint and the
Speaker 1: forty five minutes driving around to try to find a
Speaker 1: dog that were actually at the house, So that will
Speaker 1: likely not happen. But yeah, yeah, Kevin, one of my
Speaker 1: one of my wife's cousins, who's he's in college, you know,
Speaker 1: seems like a normal dude, so we'll likely have him
Speaker 1: watch the watch pets, I would think. But Danny, well,
Speaker 1: you've got a whole stable of kiddos over there to kill.
Speaker 3: Well, but they're not all here anymore. So when we go,
Speaker 3: if nobody's available to come by, we don't have to
Speaker 3: worry too much about it. Ben, because miles ahead of
Speaker 3: Kim Kardashian, I had robots way before Kim. Did I
Speaker 3: have a robot cat food feeder. I have a robot
Speaker 3: water fountain. Boom goes the dynamite. Boom, Yeah, boom goes
Speaker 3: the cat food that was on sale at Target for
Speaker 3: seven ninety nine.
Speaker 1: As long as the power does not go out at
Speaker 1: the house and the internet does not go out.
Speaker 3: All oh, it has a backup. Yeah, the robot even
Speaker 3: if the power goes off, it stays on.
Speaker 1: Nice from South Carolina for now, where you moving, Barry?
Speaker 1: You're moving again?
Speaker 3: Berry?
Speaker 1: Come on man, where are you going now? Now? Remember
Speaker 1: he was in Nashville?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember.
Speaker 1: And then I met Barry, very nice gentlemen. I met
Speaker 1: him at the Mount Meet and Greet in Charleston, and
Speaker 1: he said, for now, I wonder where he's wonderho he's
Speaker 1: going anyway? Yo yo, Ma Benny. He says, Hey, would
Speaker 1: you consider doing a segment on one of your last
Speaker 1: shows of the year in tribute to the many callers
Speaker 1: and show contributors that you have lost this year? Maybe
Speaker 1: put together some of their calls posts they're famous for.
Speaker 1: It seems like this year we've lost more than I recall. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I actually was having I was having a conversation was
Speaker 1: very depressing. There's another listener that's near his demise here
Speaker 1: that I don't want to talk about right now, But
Speaker 1: I says, it's like I'm not in hospice, but yet
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like I am in some ways
Speaker 1: because so many people who get older and are kind
Speaker 1: of near the end they find our show. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of people that are in hospitals that find the
Speaker 1: show and they really like it, and I love that
Speaker 1: they like it. They want to be part of it.
Speaker 1: And then I get to know them and then they
Speaker 1: die quickly. It seems like it's uh yeah, it's been
Speaker 1: a tough year for for that for sure. And you know,
Speaker 1: you go back and people that contributed to this pot
Speaker 1: just massle Mickey was not sick. Well he was sick,
Speaker 1: but he we don't know if that's why, you know,
Speaker 1: he ended up, you know, leaving us. But Calligan, Tim
Speaker 1: and Michigan. We lost him. He passed away and there
Speaker 1: have been a couple others this year that have that
Speaker 1: have met their demise. So it's it's depressing and it
Speaker 1: is sad, sad stuff.
Speaker 3: And that sounds like a sad show too. It would
Speaker 3: be like what they do at the Oscars. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: oh in Memoriam. Is that how they say it?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but isn't it one of those things?
Speaker 1: It's like, then they'll in Memoriam, and then if they don't,
Speaker 1: if they don't put everyone in there, it's a prop
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like it's sleep yeah.
Speaker 3: No, you're right. And then when it says in Memoriam
Speaker 3: really big on the screen that only lasts for what
Speaker 3: four or five minutes on the shows. So can you
Speaker 3: imagine a you know, a thirty five to forty minute podcast.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking here on YouTube. There's a whole YouTube
Speaker 1: A genre. Is that the term in memoriam as people
Speaker 1: that died nineteen seventy four, seventy nine. There's the Emmy
Speaker 1: Awards ones there, nineteen seventy nine faces famous faces we lost. Well,
Speaker 1: that'd be depressing, I guess, right, But I eventually we're
Speaker 1: all going to be up on there at some point
Speaker 1: right in our own little world. We're all, aren't we
Speaker 1: all celebrities. We're starring in our own movie, all of us, right,
Speaker 1: and that how life works, yeah, movie, and then your
Speaker 1: movie ends, and then somebody else has their movie and
Speaker 1: all that. All right, Well, but yeah we will. We'll
Speaker 1: mention those that passed this year and the probably, i'd say,
Speaker 1: in the next next few, a few days, a few

Speaker 1: Thunderdome podcast was going to happen, and in December of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, he said it was going to happen

Speaker 1: a while. Who should bring that back? Anyway? The real
Speaker 1: Ryan from Boise writes is is hey, Ben and Danny.
Speaker 1: I saw this and I thought of your podcast. Scientists
Speaker 1: in China have created a camouflage material to make people invisible.
Speaker 1: Are you going to get into my startup? To Rob Banks?
Speaker 1: The real Ryan? So I did see this? Did you
Speaker 1: see the story the other day? This week? Danny? There
Speaker 1: was a story out. This company in China has come
Speaker 1: up with. It's not it's the headlines misleading on that Ryan,
Speaker 1: you probably know that. But it's it's a new type
Speaker 1: of camouflage and supposedly it's it's much more effective than
Speaker 1: the old camouflage. And it's like it's a trick, Dandy, see,
Speaker 1: it's a trick on the human eye from what I read. Oh, okay, Well,
Speaker 1: if you could be invisible, think of the amount of debauchery,
Speaker 1: the crime you could commit. So yeah, that would but
Speaker 1: you know, hey, it's I saw the photos and stuff.
Speaker 1: It's it's cool, but not not invisible in the sense
Speaker 1: like cartoon invisible JJ he says, from Central Ohio. So
Speaker 1: it must be near Dick and Dayton there in central House,
Speaker 1: says Ben and Danny. Doctors in China. Doctors in China,
Speaker 1: they found a woman that had live worms growing under
Speaker 1: her eyelids. How is this possible? And then and then
Speaker 1: he he says that he says that they think it's
Speaker 1: from from the woman's cats. They think that there's some
Speaker 1: kind of did.
Speaker 3: She sleep on the cats and use them as pillows?
Speaker 1: I have no I don't know anything. Do you know
Speaker 1: anything about this?
Speaker 3: No? That is nasty though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have heard that that cat. Who there's something
Speaker 1: that comes out of a cat's ass that is really
Speaker 1: powerful and can change human activity. You have a cat.
Speaker 1: You talked about it, Danny. We just talked about it
Speaker 1: with you. We go out of here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, thank god. He's healthy. He's never he's never
Speaker 3: been outdoor, so he's always been inside. He's uh. He
Speaker 3: passed his exams at the vet with flying colors. He's
Speaker 3: always been a really, really healthy cat. But for people
Speaker 3: who have outdoor animals, I'm not envious because you deal
Speaker 3: with all those worms and all that stuff, fleas and ticks. No,
Speaker 3: thank you.
Speaker 1: What is I'm trying to I heard this the other day.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm trying to remember the name of it.
Speaker 1: There's some kind of parasite or something like that involving
Speaker 1: cat pooh or something.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I have heard him pooping in his
Speaker 3: litter box. He does have a powerful rare end.
Speaker 1: I bet he does. All right, last one, last one?
Speaker 1: Are you ready for the last one? Danny? The last
Speaker 1: male bag question of the week on this Sunday.
Speaker 3: Here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. Carl and Pennsylvania why does Cooper Rush
Speaker 1: do that too? By the way, it just must be
Speaker 1: a Mike McCarthy thing. He must be like, this is
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do this, that's what tech does. So
Speaker 1: you're gonna do it. You're not, but you're gonna be
Speaker 1: like so here we go like a dak thing. It
Speaker 1: was weird when I heard their backup to it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Carl and Pennsylvania resident says Ben and Danny liked the podcast.
Speaker 1: Are you guys worried since big celebrities and you say
Speaker 1: outrageous things about being debanked if you say something wrong?
Speaker 3: Oh? So I saw this.
Speaker 1: This was from the Joe Rogan podcast the other day.
Speaker 1: I guess Carl's referencing this. Investor guy Mark Andresen, did
Speaker 1: you hear about this? He told the story about how
Speaker 1: the the Joe Biden administration has been debanking political opponents. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I heard this. Actually, somebody sent me the clip
Speaker 1: from that. It was on the Joe Rogan podcast, And
Speaker 1: it's pretty nutso right that you could be say something
Speaker 1: wrong or have the wrong position. I guess they did
Speaker 1: a lot of it to the government to protect the
Speaker 1: If I remember hearing what I heard properly, Mark Andresen,
Speaker 1: who was fascinating in this clip that I saw. He
Speaker 1: talked about how to protect the banking industry. They were
Speaker 1: worried about the people that run the banking industry, who
Speaker 1: are in bed with the government, were worried about crypto
Speaker 1: taking over people's money, and then the banking industry would
Speaker 1: be useless because crypto would replace the banking industry. People
Speaker 1: will put their money into crypto, and so therefore the
Speaker 1: crypto companies were being debanked, and he claimed it was
Speaker 1: at the behest of the Biden administration. And then also
Speaker 1: people that were like in the weed business. I had
Speaker 1: heard about that years ago. If you ran a weed business,
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to use the banking system, and that's
Speaker 1: the government, that's the Biden I guess Biden administration now.
Speaker 1: But this has been going on way before Biden. And
Speaker 1: this guy said that it was like thirty or something
Speaker 1: people crypto companies that were debanked, and that means their
Speaker 1: accounts were closed, they couldn't create new accounts and all that.
Speaker 1: But I have not had that happen.
Speaker 3: Carl.
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone can about my take about the
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions enough.
Speaker 3: So yeah, but this may happen to Hawktua girl.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hawk TOA is after this last week for HAWKTOA
Speaker 1: and Alive And Hey, if you don't need the bank,
Speaker 1: just put your money in like a pillowcase. Isn't that
Speaker 1: what people used to do back in the day, or
Speaker 1: you know, in a mattress or something like that. Anyway,
Speaker 1: have a great rest of your day. Still time to
Speaker 1: see Beni Versus the Penny. If you hear this podcast
Speaker 1: when it first pops up in the morning, they kill
Speaker 1: the show. Well, it's on Peacock for a couple extra days,
Speaker 1: but outside of that on the TV broadcast, I think
Speaker 1: it airs a few more times to day before kickoff
Speaker 1: and then that's it. I'll be back tonight for more
Speaker 1: of the fun of the regular radio show and then Danny,
Speaker 1: what are you here? Going to anything? When I back
Speaker 1: with Covino and Rich regular week?
Speaker 3: Yeah, back to Covino and Rich on Monday afternoon two
Speaker 3: to four pm on the West Side. Don't forget two
Speaker 3: twenty pm. The real Mike Tyson is going to join
Speaker 3: the show live, right.
Speaker 1: And if he doesn't, and if he doesn't show up,
Speaker 1: then you'll read the questions he didn't want to answer,

Speaker 3: I'm gonna totally use your advice on that. So I
Speaker 3: can't wait to see how that all plays out Monday afternoon.
Speaker 3: That's five to seven pm in Newark, New Jersey.
Speaker 1: Well, the other thing you could do, Danny is be like, hey, Mike,

Speaker 1: were told not to, so we're not going to ask
Speaker 1: you that.
Speaker 3: Quy. I did do the question, but you're still asking
Speaker 3: it anyway.
