Speaker 1: Kabbooms.
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 soul 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 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the Aird e Rewhere you are locked in on
Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny g Because listen,
Speaker 1: five nights a week of overnight radio not enough. Danny,
Speaker 1: of course heard on Covino and Rich during the week
Speaker 1: here at Fox Sports Radio. But it is the weekend,
Speaker 1: it is Saturday. We had the first game of the
Speaker 1: World Series last night between the Rangers and the Diamondbacks,
Speaker 1: and Danny, I did want to mention I didn't get
Speaker 1: to this on yesterday's podcast, but with the World Series
Speaker 1: now underway, I had a smile from ear to ear,
Speaker 1: a Cheshire Cat smile. Yet another viral video my Malard
Speaker 1: monologue grading the World Series matchup and the level of
Speaker 1: vitriol from Texas Ranger fans and fans from Arizona. Just outstanding,
Speaker 1: just wonderful. Sucks, it's just wonderful because the pain, the agony.
Speaker 1: If you don't agree. If I was a Diamondback or
Speaker 1: a Ranger fan, I would give the World Series an
Speaker 1: A plus. But I'm not, and as an outsider, it's
Speaker 1: a terrible World Series. It's bad for baseball, and the
Speaker 1: ratings are going to be horrific. But I was so happy, Danny.
Speaker 1: Reading some of the comments here, this guy said, I
Speaker 1: sound like a muffin. That was pretty good.
Speaker 3: What a muffins sound like?
Speaker 1: Yes, I like me. Another person said, typical Boston winer.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize this in Boston. I had no idea.
Speaker 1: Go f yourself. It is so good. It is so great.
Speaker 1: You're just the Dodgers are in. Yeah it is, and uh,
Speaker 1: of course I'm right. It's a bad matchup. And you know,
Speaker 1: I'll watch. I watched last night, I'll watch today, and
Speaker 1: that's fine and all that, but it's just it gets
Speaker 1: it's so good, Danny. I gotta tell you wrong. By
Speaker 1: this podcast, we have what do we have on the
Speaker 1: agenda here? It's Saturday, this is the twenty eighth day
Speaker 1: of October. We've got ghostly Pretzels, the cold table, and
Speaker 1: pop goes the culture. Now, before we get into this, Danny,
Speaker 1: we need an all points bulletin to be sent out. Yes,
Speaker 1: the mobile out of the back cave, the backscratcher segment.
Speaker 1: We have not done one of these in a while
Speaker 1: because I'm looking at the podcast page here, Danny, and
Speaker 1: I'm going page down, page down, page down, and we
Speaker 1: have reached it. It's like a writer that has writer's block.
Speaker 1: We've reached podcast review block. Now, how can we fix that? Danny?
Speaker 1: What can we do to fix that? What do you think?
Speaker 1: Should we do a contest? Should we give something away?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: What can we do?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna have to involve prizes. Unfortunately, that's gonna
Speaker 3: have to come out of your pocket.
Speaker 1: No, No, I'm sure the company will I Heart will
Speaker 1: give us some money for the for the podcast, right
Speaker 1: and get some swag, right?
Speaker 3: No, sure, we'll give away some mallor mugs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we'll see, maybeybe, I'll come up with something.
Speaker 1: But you don't. You shouldn't need to be bribe. It's
Speaker 1: pretty simple. It helps us out keeps the podcast going.
Speaker 1: Apple podcast page right there, you can click on the
Speaker 1: buttons there's right in the middle.
Speaker 3: For Covino and Rich. To get our bribery balls, we
Speaker 3: had to sacrifice weekly paid guests. Now, I know you
Speaker 3: love paid guests, big Ben.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have a big budget. Well what we do
Speaker 1: is we buy, we buy the callers.
Speaker 3: And well here's here's the thing. I was given a
Speaker 3: small budget, not very big, but I was given a
Speaker 3: small budget in case I wanted, like an NFL expert
Speaker 3: or an MLB expert or NBA expert to come on
Speaker 3: once a week. Yeah, I said, I would rather take
Speaker 3: that small budget and buy a big box and nerve
Speaker 3: footballs to bribe people to give good podcast reviews. So
Speaker 3: it's give and take. You got to like give something
Speaker 3: to be able to get some promotional items.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well yeah, I mean we can come
Speaker 1: up with some swag fifth hour swag or something like that, or.
Speaker 3: You want to sacrifice from your live radio show.
Speaker 1: Iowa, Sam, we can sack I'm Sam and good.
Speaker 3: Later, Sam. Your hours just got cut in half. Some
Speaker 3: swag to give away for the fifth hour podcast.
Speaker 1: You're gone, gone, Gone, gone gone. Yeah, so help us
Speaker 1: out on that if you can Apple podcast page. That's
Speaker 1: something the company looks at hopefully they're not looking at
Speaker 1: it right now. And then I got a lot of
Speaker 1: email this week about the Sunday podcast. Are we gonna
Speaker 1: wait till Sunday to do the review on how many
Speaker 1: downloads we got last week? Or should we do it now?
Speaker 3: We'll do the reveal tomorrow morning.
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll do it on the Sunday podcast. So anyway,
Speaker 1: we begin with this. It is a yearly tradition at
Speaker 1: the Malor mansion every Halloween. Just before Halloween, Yeah, the
Speaker 1: wife throws together a special event for all the kiddos
Speaker 1: in the family. It is the Mallor Witches Dinner. Now,
Speaker 1: funny enough, no witches were harmed at the Witch's Dinner,
Speaker 1: but it's the social event of the year, Danny, and
Speaker 1: you got to be there. If you're not there, you
Speaker 1: get a Hecht's and you don't want to get a hex.
Speaker 1: So we had last weekend. We had my niece, nephew,
Speaker 1: We had several cousins, just a bunch of people hanging out.
Speaker 1: My sister in law was there and my brother in law,
Speaker 1: a couple of my other cousins, and we cooked up
Speaker 1: a spooky brew. We had our cauldron out because if
Speaker 1: you're a witch, you got to cook in a cauldron.
Speaker 1: So we cooked in the cauldron, and I opened the
Speaker 1: book of Spells. I had some rituals, we had magic instructions,
Speaker 1: all of that, and we were able to combine an
Speaker 1: old nineteen seventies band earth, wind, and fire. We put
Speaker 1: all that together, you know, the four elements earth, air, fire,
Speaker 1: and water. We put those out there. But I did
Speaker 1: go in the kitchen. I cooked, well, I didn't really cook.
Speaker 1: I melted chocolate. I was back as the chalkleteer. Haven't
Speaker 1: done that in a while. So we started futzing around
Speaker 1: with the chocolate, and it was white chocolate like that.
Speaker 1: Remember the basketball player for the Sacramento Kings years ago
Speaker 1: named white chocolate racist Jason Williams. So anyway, we melted
Speaker 1: the chocolate. I then took a stick of pretzels, like
Speaker 1: a pretzel stick. We dipped the pretzel into the chocolate,
Speaker 1: and then placed some little edible candy eyes on top
Speaker 1: of the pretzel. And it was a ghostly pretzel at
Speaker 1: that point. Delicious, those little mini eyeballs, and just great.
Speaker 1: I made sugar cookies and then I had to cut
Speaker 1: them into shapes like witches, bats, pumpkins, cats, you name it.
Speaker 3: I saw the picture of what you did with the
Speaker 3: oranges in the apple slices. That was really cool. The
Speaker 3: orange peeled with the apple slice at the top to
Speaker 3: make it look like a pumpkin.
Speaker 1: Yes, a little trick, and yeah, we went all out.
Speaker 1: We went all out on that. So it was really cool.
Speaker 1: Kids seem to have a good time. They just ate
Speaker 1: a bunch of candy. We had rice, crispy treats and
Speaker 1: some other stuff, different juices and whatnot. So they were
Speaker 1: seem to have a good time.
Speaker 3: By the end of this hooton Nanny as you call it. Yes, yes,
Speaker 3: the kids smacked up on sugar, running in circles, screaming.
Speaker 3: Of course.
Speaker 1: Then we had them all leave and they ran out,
Speaker 1: and that was it. Not our problem, not our problem,
Speaker 1: not my problem, somebody else problem. You got to deal
Speaker 1: with these kids. Kids are probably still awake. It's been
Speaker 1: a week. The kids are probably still awake. They're like
Speaker 1: it is, still on a sugar high, still going through
Speaker 1: their bloodstream as we speak. And so what happens, Dan
Speaker 1: is you just have to throw them down on a
Speaker 1: cold table. That is what you have to do.
Speaker 4: Just pop them down on a cold table. And then
Speaker 4: you're good, right, Yeah, oh that's what Kaiser does. So
Speaker 4: a couple days ago, CoA had his dreaded two month
Speaker 4: appointment at the doctor to get his shots, his first
Speaker 4: round of shots.
Speaker 2: Boo.
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about the kind Manty likes to drink
Speaker 3: right after her shift. I'm talking about the round of
Speaker 3: shots you don't want to get as a little kid,
Speaker 3: especially a little infant. This past Wednesday, we bring CooA
Speaker 3: to Kaiser and it's not a good situation right now. Ben.
Speaker 3: As you might have heard, they have a little strike
Speaker 3: going on with their healthcare workers.
Speaker 1: I'm a doctor.
Speaker 3: They're trying to get a twenty one percent wage hike.
Speaker 3: I was reading. We all, yeah, so we had to
Speaker 3: reschedule this appointment. The best of the best we're working.
Speaker 3: Unless that's not true. Some scabs were in there the
Speaker 3: whole time. I'm thinking, man, should we take them somewhere else? Like,
Speaker 3: I don't want to be in the middle of a
Speaker 3: strike when it comes to my kid and getting shots.
Speaker 3: Can you really trust scabs? This is like going to
Speaker 3: a football game when NFL players were striking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's a tough, but what are your options?
Speaker 1: You your Kaiser's you're medical, right, so you really don't
Speaker 1: have any other options, are you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's what co Is signed up to. So
Speaker 3: we were stuck keeping the appointment. We had a backup doctor,
Speaker 3: we had a backup nurse who was fumbling all over
Speaker 3: the place, and in little cold check up Room twelve
Speaker 3: we had CoA in there waiting to get his shots.
Speaker 3: Three needles. They do three shots into the thigh in.
Speaker 3: One of the vaccines is oral, so of course they
Speaker 3: do that first because they know the kid is going
Speaker 3: to be screaming. Yeah, so they give him the oral first.
Speaker 3: He's trying to spit that up and I'm like, good boy,
Speaker 3: spit it back out, get rid of that crap. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And that's what sucks about these vaccines too, Ben. Obviously,
Speaker 3: they got to poison your body with a little bit
Speaker 3: of the virus whatever virus there giving you the vaccine
Speaker 3: for that to poison you with a little bit of
Speaker 3: it so that your body knows how to fight it off.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, the good thing is, you know he's not
Speaker 1: gonna remember it, so it's a good thing, right.
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's the good part. The bad part is
Speaker 3: the two days following, are you crying. This nurse finally
Speaker 3: comes back into the room after the doctor does the update,
Speaker 3: and you'll be happy to know, cos in the ninety
Speaker 3: one percent tile in all of his health measurements. So
Speaker 3: he's a big boy. He's a future NFL linebacker for sure.
Speaker 3: The doctor said, this is the biggest baby at this
Speaker 3: age I've seen in a little while, so she was
Speaker 3: pretty impressed with his stats. Then she said the nurse
Speaker 3: will be in shortly to give him the shots. Waiting,
Speaker 3: and you're waiting and waiting. Ten minutes go by, fifteen
Speaker 3: minutes go by. My wife mutters, the strike, the stupid
Speaker 3: strike they're having. Yeah. Thirty minutes later, the nurse comes
Speaker 3: back in with an assortment of needles and liquid. She says, okay,
Speaker 3: take his onesie off, you hold his arms. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: hold his legs down now. This wantn't be that bad.
Speaker 3: If maybe they thought this through and had like an
Speaker 3: oversized stuffed Teddy bear to put the kid on. Yeah,
Speaker 3: maybe like a little person personal heater pointed towards the kid. No,
Speaker 3: these poor kids have to lay with just a little
Speaker 3: diaper on on this cold table. That's there's gotta be
Speaker 3: a better way, now, this is Obviously parents are laughing
Speaker 3: right now because they've dealt with this for years. This
Speaker 3: is my first experience with this. So I'm holding his
Speaker 3: arms and this lady's jabbing these needles into his baby thighs.
Speaker 3: He is screaming, blood curdling crying going on. And when
Speaker 3: the lady wrapped up, she's like, all right, he'll be
Speaker 3: okay in a couple of minutes. And she waltzed out
Speaker 3: of the room. And we have a baby who's as
Speaker 3: red as a turn up and is trying to catch
Speaker 3: his breath because he can't breathe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's looking at you and saying, what did
Speaker 1: you do?
Speaker 3: Exactly? Yeah, looking at me, and his mom like, why
Speaker 3: would you torture me like this?
Speaker 1: You're supposed to protect me. You put me in here,
Speaker 1: and what are you doing?
Speaker 3: Wow? That day, of course, he had a fever. We
Speaker 3: had to give him baby tile and all. They didn't
Speaker 3: do anything for this big guy. So he's crying because
Speaker 3: of the pain in his legs. He had an upset
Speaker 3: stomach because of that crap that they made him drink,
Speaker 3: not fun whatsoever. The day after day two is the
Speaker 3: worst day because that's when the pain and the legs
Speaker 3: really hurt. By day three, which was yesterday, he was
Speaker 3: feeling a little bit better.
Speaker 1: So yeah, he just put him in a hot tub,
Speaker 1: you know, and whatever.
Speaker 3: But Ben, we got to do this all over again
Speaker 3: on December sixth.
Speaker 1: Oh, how many more rounds are there's that?
Speaker 3: One more round or two more rounds of this?
Speaker 1: Two more rounds? Man?
Speaker 3: And I'm thinking, does it get easier as they get
Speaker 3: a little older, or do they hate you even more
Speaker 3: and look at you and disgust even more that you
Speaker 3: would let them be tortured like this.
Speaker 1: Now that you've done the first round, you can prepare,
Speaker 1: like what can you You can bring some toys or
Speaker 1: sign he's too little for that. I don't know what
Speaker 1: you be.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, yeah, I don't think. And now he's going
Speaker 3: to have a I think once he's in that little
Speaker 3: checkup room and on that table, he's going to remembers
Speaker 3: he's smart.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is why a lot of people don't like
Speaker 1: going to the doctor to that. Is it possible that
Speaker 1: that is related.
Speaker 3: Maybe this is why the nurses want to raise too,
Speaker 3: because I feel like the next time in there, he's
Speaker 3: going to kick that nurse in the Adams Apple.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe by the next time, the Kaiser thing will
Speaker 1: be settled and we'll actually have the people back and
Speaker 1: it'll be a much cleaner, smoother process.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we won't have Vince Evans working on him.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like the baseball strike players. Remember the
Speaker 1: night the nineteen ninety four spring training they had all
Speaker 1: the replacement players and all that.
Speaker 3: We'll be grew Garrymore by herself running the entire office.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my goodness. All right, we have pop goes the culture.
Speaker 1: We have a song, so we should probably play the song, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ohio Al did a pop pop for us, John.
Speaker 1: John Pop pop pop pop pop. Thank you the great
Speaker 1: Ohio Al. And first story. These are stories that we
Speaker 1: have uncovered from searching the dark web to give you
Speaker 1: the latest inside skinny on just random things that are interesting, like,
Speaker 1: for example, this has been making the rounds here the
Speaker 1: first ever Florida Man Games. This is big. You'll have
Speaker 1: events like a mullet contest and beer belly sumo wrestling.
Speaker 1: I'm all in for that. Put me in man flow.
Speaker 1: I gotta get Marlin's man to go to this or Gascon.
Speaker 1: He's a Florida Man now. And yeah, this is like
Speaker 1: the Redneck Olympics going on here. One guy in Florida
Speaker 1: has decided to honor the Florida Man reputation in Saint Augustine,
Speaker 1: Florida with the first ever Florida Man Games. This guy
Speaker 1: named Pete I said he wanted to give people an
Speaker 1: opportunity to live the Florida Man life for a day.
Speaker 1: And this is a great idea. I wish I had
Speaker 1: put the money behind. This is gonna make a ton
Speaker 1: of money. This is gonna be such a big money maker.
Speaker 1: It'll become a yearly thing. It'll be on television and
Speaker 1: they'll make money that way, and the Internet is gonna
Speaker 1: be viral the people participating in the games, The Florida
Speaker 1: Man Games competition will be held you twenty fourth. Participants
Speaker 1: will get a chance to take part in all kinds
Speaker 1: of activities, including a weaponized pool noodle mud duel now
Speaker 1: that sounds like fun essence will where goggles designed to
Speaker 1: simulate drunkenness and they'll go at it beer belly as mentioned,
Speaker 1: beer Belly Florida Sumo, where your stomach is the only
Speaker 1: weapon you're allowed to deploy. Okay, how about this Evading
Speaker 1: arrest obstacle course where you're going to be chased, they say,
Speaker 1: by real actual cops.
Speaker 3: You've got oh man Jed who fled needs to sign
Speaker 3: up for this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he'd be perfect for that. You know who wouldn't
Speaker 1: be perform that? Baker Mayfield, who is a Florida Man
Speaker 1: place for the Buccaneers who saw them play the other night.
Speaker 1: You have, yeah, a self obviously look in the mirror,
Speaker 1: mullet contest, et cetera. Are some other things here. Florida
Speaker 1: Man Games will also featured two former members of the
Speaker 1: American Gladiators cast Nitro and Ice.
Speaker 3: So they the two that haven't died from steroids.
Speaker 1: They dug up Nitro and Ice and they will be
Speaker 1: part of this. I gotta tell you, Danny, I'm in.
Speaker 1: I'm in thumbs up, thumbs up for the Florida Man Games.
Speaker 1: It's fun. You know what it reminds me of In
Speaker 1: Pasadena they had I don't know if they still have it,
Speaker 1: the Dude Do Parade. Remember have you ever heard of
Speaker 1: the Dude O Parade?
Speaker 3: Not heard of that?
Speaker 1: Okay, they used to. I don't know if they still
Speaker 1: have it, but they every every year and they'd have
Speaker 1: the Dude Dot Parade, which is like mock. It's kind
Speaker 1: of like mocking. It started out mocking the Rose Parade,
Speaker 1: which is yeah, it's like people goofing around and stuff.
Speaker 1: And I think it's been hijacked by certain groups over
Speaker 1: the recent years. But when I was a kid, just
Speaker 1: people dressing goofy and funny and walking down Colorado Boulevard
Speaker 1: or whatever. So having to find fine time, what is next?
Speaker 1: Goes the culture here. A list has popped up of
Speaker 1: twenty eight places women refuse to go on a first date.
Speaker 3: We covered this on Covino and Rich. It was popping
Speaker 3: up all over Facebook and Instagram, and right off the bat,
Speaker 3: number one is incorrect.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great restaurant. And I would not want
Speaker 1: a data woman that would not want to go to
Speaker 1: the number one restaurant on this list here, Cheesecake Factor.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: And I got into the comments immediately and said, you
Speaker 3: are a witch if you think there's something wrong with
Speaker 3: the cheesecake factory.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 3: And the bread alone that they serve you is worth
Speaker 3: the visit.
Speaker 1: I would argue the women that approve this list are
Speaker 1: women that will be probably single for a while. You know,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just saying you know what I mean, Danny, Yeah,
Speaker 1: go get another cat, don't do a lost cat magnet next. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like any fast food chain, Buffalo, pretty much every restaurant.
Speaker 1: These are only restaurants I go to when I was single. Well, church,
Speaker 1: icond of like, why would you take a date to church?
Speaker 1: That seems a little that seems a little much. Netflix
Speaker 1: and Chill basically was on air. No, no long drive,
Speaker 1: no sporting events. That's a bad list, man.
Speaker 3: Neew plenty of girls back in the day that would
Speaker 3: have loved to go to a sporting event as a date.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Well by the way house, your house is on there. Well,
Speaker 3: my wife she went to my house on our first date,
Speaker 3: so suck it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. And my first date we technically
Speaker 1: met at a movie theater, although we didn't actually see
Speaker 1: a movie because we couldn't figure the timing didn't work out,
Speaker 1: so we went. I think we went to one of
Speaker 1: the restaurants that is on the list. I closed it out,
Speaker 1: but I think we went to one of those restaurants.
Speaker 1: It was a chain bar diner type restaurant.
Speaker 3: Pat, you got her a chili dog?
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. I went to a waffle How about Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: That story is great. This week Russell Wilson renting out
Speaker 1: an entire waffle house for his wife because that's her
Speaker 1: favorite restaurant for her birthday. Baby, get some waffles. I
Speaker 1: have a great time. Sirah. There you go. He's lucky.
Speaker 1: There's waffle houses in Colorado. There are no waffle houses
Speaker 1: in California. They stop at Arizona. They did not bring
Speaker 1: the waffle house to where we are.
Speaker 3: Oh are you saying that's the deciding factor to sign
Speaker 3: with the Broncos.
Speaker 1: That and the fact he wanted to extort tons of
Speaker 1: money and stop playing good football. Humans will become immortal,
Speaker 1: but there is a catch, according to AI. The exclusive
Speaker 1: report from The Daily Star in London says the secrets
Speaker 1: to humans living forever could be they put the curve
Speaker 1: that could in there because you know that's weaselter could
Speaker 1: be unlocked at some point within the next seventy seven years.
Speaker 1: I guess we'll be dead if Google's artificial intelligence powered
Speaker 1: software is to be believed. So this is good news
Speaker 1: for your son, Danny, Your son CoA immortal can live forever.
Speaker 1: The claim comes from Google's artificial intelligence powered language model
Speaker 1: software called Barred. Never heard of it, but they go
Speaker 1: into some detail there and they say that within seventy
Speaker 1: seven years, of course everyone who is live now will
Speaker 1: either be really old or will be dead. So why
Speaker 1: not go eighty years. You can make predictions from eighty
Speaker 1: years because pretty much everybody will be gone. So yeah,
Speaker 1: just absolutely, just absolutely wonderful.
Speaker 3: I'm going to make sure to alphabetize all of our
Speaker 3: hot takes that way, when Koa is a mortal on
Speaker 3: the radio, he could be like, let's listen to a
Speaker 3: fifth hour podcast hot take from the year twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: And now a classic let's go back in the hot
Speaker 1: tub time machine to the year twenty twenty two, and
Speaker 1: here we go. Next up, we have I don't know
Speaker 1: if I buy this threads. The threads app already has
Speaker 1: one hundred million monthly users.
Speaker 3: Barbiton.
Speaker 1: I've stopped going on there. I have a Thread's account,
Speaker 1: but I don't really go on there anymore. Did I
Speaker 1: tried it for a while as or whatever. I'll need
Speaker 1: to go somewhere if Twitter starts charging everybody, but I'm
Speaker 1: not leaving Twitter yet. They haven't done that. I guess
Speaker 1: they're going to charge new people. I'm an old person,
Speaker 1: so I don't think that's gonna matter. But one hundred
Speaker 1: million monthly users and internet experts say that they are
Speaker 1: in position to pass Twitter by that they will absolutely
Speaker 1: destroy Elon's x. Actually what it's called now exis name
Speaker 1: was Twitter.
Speaker 3: I don't feel like it's user friendly. I feel like
Speaker 3: Twitter is more straightforward and easy to use, whereas Threads,
Speaker 3: you're looking at it and you're still sort of confused
Speaker 3: as to how they want this thing to work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got to tweak it, they got to update
Speaker 1: it and all that, and it's gotta there's gotta be
Speaker 1: ways you can look at stuff, where like Twitter had
Speaker 1: they used to have the tweet deck, which they don't
Speaker 1: have anymore, because you've gotta pay for it. So why
Speaker 1: would you pay for something? What is the first rule? Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the first rule of business, Danny,
Speaker 1: but it's probably the most important rule of business. If
Speaker 1: you charge people for something that was once free, people
Speaker 1: will no longer use it. It is a basic rule. Yeah,
Speaker 1: despite being the smartest man in the room, Elon Musk
Speaker 1: clearly did not pay attention to that rule. And this
Speaker 1: is the problem that the newspaper business had. The newspapers
Speaker 1: started giving their stuff away for free online and then
Speaker 1: they wanted to start charging. No one's going to pay
Speaker 1: for it, So what do you do? And it's problem.
Speaker 1: So if you start out, Hell, the Internet people want
Speaker 1: there are people that want the Internet, Yet you have
Speaker 1: to pay to go on the internet. Can't do it.
Speaker 1: I can't do it right.
Speaker 3: No way. Yeah, that'd be like if suddenly we said, hey,
Speaker 3: you know what, the fifth Hour, it's not for free anymore.
Speaker 3: Wherever you download your podcast, you're going to have to
Speaker 3: pay us six dollars and ninety nine cents a month.
Speaker 1: Heah, now for the right to download the pip And
Speaker 1: there are people that do that, for the right to
Speaker 1: download the podcast. Well, there are those pages. And I'm
Speaker 1: not totally opposed to it. What do they call where
Speaker 1: you have to donate money Patreon? Patreon? Yeah, Like I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be against that if I wasn't doing the radio show.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're paying me to do this, so why
Speaker 1: should I.
Speaker 3: No. I feel like Patreon is something that a guy
Speaker 3: like Howard Stern would have used way back in the
Speaker 3: day when he first started. He would have been like
Speaker 3: raw and uncut and for your six dollars a month,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go crazy on this platform. And I get that,
Speaker 3: but it would have started like that, like you said,
Speaker 3: it wouldn't have been something he did for a while
Speaker 3: and then been like, oh, I'm gonna spring this on
Speaker 3: you at the last minute. Now six dollars or you
Speaker 3: can't hear this any longer?
Speaker 1: Yeah, moving on? What do we have you here?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: How about this? You want to earn one hundred thousand dollars?
Speaker 1: Danny go to Oregon. An Oregon fisherman actually earns over
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars in bounties by removing unwanted species
Speaker 1: in the rivers. So the unwanted species found in the rivers.
Speaker 1: This guy has gotten over one hundred thousand dollars from
Speaker 1: doing so. Like, how long does does it actually take?
Speaker 3: Though? Who pays him? The state?
Speaker 1: Yes, this fisherman in Oregon, he has taking home a
Speaker 1: grand prize to remove thousands of problem fish throughout the rivers. Here,
Speaker 1: the anglers earned over one hundred and seven thousand, eight
Speaker 1: hundred bounties. He took part in the twenty twenty three
Speaker 1: Northern Pike Minnow Sport Reward program, and the guy caught
Speaker 1: this is crazy, almost eleven thousand Northern Pike minnows during
Speaker 1: the season from May through September. And because of that,
Speaker 1: the reward program this guy cashed in that is that
Speaker 1: is nuts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do they do with it? Is eleven thousand fish.
Speaker 1: I'm reading the store here at the second place. How
Speaker 1: about if you're in second place? Second place got nine thousand,
Speaker 1: seven hundred and eighty six, so they still made ninety
Speaker 1: so it's not like that's not too bad. But he's
Speaker 1: about ten thousand less than this guy took away. But man,
Speaker 1: the first twenty five in one season worth six dollars each.
Speaker 1: After twenty five they're worth eight dollars each, and after
Speaker 1: two hundred they're worth ten dollars each.
Speaker 3: And that's a cool That is a cool. Last job.
Speaker 3: When I leave, when I finally blow this popsicle stand
Speaker 3: and I say I'm retiring from radio, and people say,
Speaker 3: what are you going to do? I ain't gonna go
Speaker 3: be a campus supervisor. I'm not going to be a
Speaker 3: bus driver. I'm not going to be a superintendent or
Speaker 3: a principal or advice. No, I'm gonna be a damn
Speaker 3: angler And I'm going to get one hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 3: for sucking some pike out of the ocean.
Speaker 1: It's gotta be a great gig, right, although it must
Speaker 1: be stressful because if you're not catching stuff at that rate. Though,
Speaker 1: this guy must have he must have known the all
Speaker 1: the trick and all that. So the pike minnows have
Speaker 1: played an active role in the Columbia and Snake River
Speaker 1: systems in Oregon. They've been eating millions of salmon and
Speaker 1: steelhead juveniles, so all that there was protecting the salmon.
Speaker 3: Ah. There you go with the money. They know the
Speaker 3: money makers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes all the sense in the world. They
Speaker 1: The numbers are out from Mattel after the summer blockbuster
Speaker 1: movie of the Barbie Movie, and the claim has made
Speaker 1: that the Barbie sales went up fourteen percent. Mattel sales
Speaker 1: of Barbie four shouldn't have been more than that. That
Speaker 1: seems like it's not enough. I don't know that thing.
Speaker 3: I guess it's always been a good seller though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a fair point. And plus, the people that
Speaker 1: went to the Barbie movie most likely had already tons
Speaker 1: of Barbies, you know, right, so they probably had tons
Speaker 1: of them. So they didn't really need it and all that. Anyway,
Speaker 1: all right, we'll get out on that. It is Saturday, Saturday, Saturday,
Speaker 1: Saturday Fun Day today, and he plans Danny, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to think. Well, I got the TV show which is
