  Speaker 1: Kaboobs.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow, it's a clearinghouse
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: of hot takes. Break free for something special. The Fifth
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with me, Ben
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Mallor and a happy fifth of July, which is not
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: a holiday. It's the day after the holiday, and it's
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a Sunday, so it's weird. Hate when holidays fall on
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the weekend. It sucks Yesterday obviously the fourth of July.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: So let's get right to it. Ohio, AL get me
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: in the mood, Ohio, Aw, it's in this bag the
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: main the myth legend. Now I've not heard from Ohio
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Al whether or not he is teamed up with my
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: pal Dick and Dayton to travel around Ohio to go
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: to different bars, restaurants and have hooton nannies from all
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the way up north in Toledo and Cleveland, all the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: way down to the border with Kentucky and just knock
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: it out. I've not heard hopefully that'll happen. That would
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: be awesome. They'd sell the place out everywhere they went. Anyway,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: it is an email back and joining us now a
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: rare and appropriate appearance, even on a holiday weekend. We
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: had to pay extra an appearance fee. We welcome in
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: from Fox Sports Radio, our friend Rihann. Hello, Brianna, Hi Man.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Happy fifth of July.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Yes, Happy fifth is jail. No, No, it does not. Although,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: as we talked about on the Saturday podcast, it is
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: arbitrary that they picked the fourth of July. It could
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: have been all the way from July second, when they
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: first decided to go forward with this. The vote was
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: on July fourth, but it could have been any day
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: between July second and early August. Because, as we pointed out,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: when the country known as America was formed, they didn't
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: have social media, they did not have radio television. So
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: people news travels slowly. News travels now. It travels too fast, way.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Too fast, way too fast, and it gets lost. The
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: truth gets lost because of how fast it travels.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Well. It travels so fast that by the time you
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: get the news, you're onto the next thing. You're bored.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: You're like, well, that's okay. So somebody like this week
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the big story people were like freaking out over people
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: climbing the top of the Empire State Building right in
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: New York.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the little proposal he thing.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: What did they put on the little It wasn't.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: That like a Jimmy Hendrix quote or something like that.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: It was a fire. I don't know, I just.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Maybe you know, I'm just kidding Jimmy Hendricks.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: But that like that, that was like a big deal
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: for a few hours and then you move on to
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: something else. It just showed you how wonderful the security
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: is on the at the Empire State Building that people
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: could climb all the way to the very top of
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the Empire.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: State Building and nobody had caught them.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And then can you come down? Please? Can
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: you come down? I also love the fact today's July fifth,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: it is built. There's actually holidays today were you're not
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: good holidays? We have build a scarecrow Day. Yes, yeah,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: that's a thing. Apparently the first Sunday in July build
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: a scarecrow. You have National Apple Turnover Day, which is
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: like you could pick any Day. Why would today be
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the National Apple turn To Day? It's Apple International Bikini
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Day today, okay, appropriately and work a Holics Day.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: So ooh that's fun You like a workaholic, right, you
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: like to worry? Yeah, unfortunately it's a bad bad it's
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: not the best thing.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: But National Bikini Day, that's funny.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: That is today after the fourth of July. Do you
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: think they put it on the on the fourth of July?
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: And it could be like a dual holiday because chicks
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: are in bikini come fourth or whatever.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: It counts of the bikini nowadays?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah? What what does count as bikini?
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know what is the any kind of covering
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: that's more than like five inches, anything that covers any
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: kind of part of your body.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: I think it is the bikini now.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Two pieces, right, it's gotta be two piece, two pieces,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: all right? What else do Let's say, Reggie in Detroit
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: he got this one in just before the cutoff, Bree,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: good timing by Reggie and detroit'says, many did you did
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: your boy make an excuse for not setting a glisy
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: record at the at the hot Dog uating counts He's
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: not about Joey Chessnut, who we've had on this podcast
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: in years past, multiple times. I have Joy's number. He's
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: not the nicest lad in the world. I've called him
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: and he's what you're doing, Oh very good. Even though
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I had I had him booked, it was very odd. Anyway,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: he did defend his title at the hot dog eating
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: contest in Brooklyn. He did not set a new record,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: as Reggie is pointing out, and he dominated is. The
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: next closest hot dog contestant was Patrick Bertoletti, this other
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: competitive eater who ate fifty one so sixty six to
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: fifty fifteen hot dog advantage, hot dog and bun in
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: ten minutes. Now, A bunch of the people were complaining,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: as Reggie's pointing out here for and I did not
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: see this live. I saw a clip on the YouTube,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: so I did not watch it live. It's much too
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: early brief for me to get up.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: And I can't now, absolutely not now.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I mean I work overnight. This thing started at the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: crack of dawn for me, right in the middle of
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: my night. Anyway, So the hot dog eating contest on
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Coney Island there in Brooklyn, and the heat was the thing.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: It was near one hundred degrees here. I thirty eight
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: celsius for our friends in Europe, and then you know,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: everyone's sweating and all that. Joey chest and I saw
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the clip. He was covered in sweat, and then they
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: asked him. They said, well, Joey, you didn't set the record.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: His record, by the way, seventy six dogs and buns.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Tell me you're not supress free. This man in twenty
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: twenty one he ate seventy six hot dog and buns
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: in ten minutes. Is that not impressive?
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Come on sure, why not?
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: I just think, like, so, what was he supposed to
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: go seventy seven to hit the record.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: So his record was seventy six, like ten years ago.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Right, you're saying, no, it was five years twenty.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Two, five years ago, okay, okay, So then sixty six.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Was yesterday, yes, yes, yes, on the fourth day he
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: did sixty six. Anyway, there's a quote that Reggie sent
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: me here and it was post competition, and Chessu, when
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: asked about the heat being a factor, said, I'm not
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: going to get into it looking for an excuse, but yeah,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: it slowed me down. So as Reggie know, and bree
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: in my lexicon when you hear the word but everything
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: before the word but is a lie. Total, it's total, right,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: we all know that. You know that too, right when
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: somebody's giving you you know this, this happened, here's why.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: But but so, yes, Reggie, that would count. When Chestnut said,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to get into looking for an excuse,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: but that means he wanted to make an excuse and
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: all you know, he said it slowed him down and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: all that, and.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I just when did you retire? That? When can you retire?
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Well? I was going to bring that up because Joey
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Chestnuts in his early forties. Now, I think, let me
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: see Joey Chestnut. I'm gonna do a quick such he's
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: got to be in his early forties or mid forties
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: at this he's been doing this forever. Joey Chestnut, here,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: quick this thing and a jig and then this magic
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: internet thing will show me. He is forty two, so.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: He's Oh my god, he's young.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he can go on for another ten years
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: at least at least ten years, if not long. The
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: great thing about eating you have to do it. If
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: you don't do it, you don't. If you don't eat,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: it's all over. And I just love the fact that
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Joey Chestnut who was living in San Jose went to
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: San Jose State University. He relocated to Indianapolis because there's
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: most of the eating competitions. He lives in like a
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: suburb of Indianapolis. Most of the eating contests are on
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the East coast, so he was spending so much time
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: flying from the West coast to the East coast. He's like, well,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: this will go to Indiana because that's kind of close
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: to everything where the eating competitions are. And this is
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: how he makes his living. He's got every major record,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: every major record, eighteen time Mustard Belt champ, nine time
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: rib eating champion, He's a six time chicken wing eating champion.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: He won that Wing Bowl which was in Philadela. I mean,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: this guy's got every record. This is the most decorated
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: athlete we've ever had, and he's in our time. Brie,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: this is amazing.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: If you had to be the world record and you
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: could eat any food and you know that you would win.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: At it, and you're like, I'm gonna I think ribs.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Like when you just said ribs, oh my, I'm like,
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: oh my god, I would I could train with ribs
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: and I would do that would be ribs.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: I would love to do that. It would be your food.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: You have the baby back, baby back, baby back.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Ribs, Honey romans for a life.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Somehow that didn't work. They went out the night so
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: sad like six left. Well, I'm a chicken finger guy,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: pure and pure.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: All there you go.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: My buddy Nico took me to the Holy Land in Vancouver. There. Well,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I know the Holy Land technically is in Montreal, but
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: in Vancouver the poutine Canadian poutine can't go wrong with that.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: So there's there's a lot there. Mister h from Parts
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Unknown rights and he says, ben, I saw in China
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: they're spraying water from rooftops to cool people off during
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the summer. How soon before this becomes a thing in
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the US. So I saw this the other day. Did
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: you see this? Breathe as there's now viral? You didn't
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: batcha you? So there's a viral video in And you know,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I can probably only name two or three cities in China,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and there's like other cities that are bigger than anything
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I've ever been to that are also in China. And
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: this is one of those cities. I don't know the name.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: How to pronounce it anyway. So it got really it's
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: really hot, and so they installed in the skyscraper apartment
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: buildings in this part of China, they put these giant
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: hoses and they're doing evaporative cooling.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Rooftop missing systems found it.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, high pressure nozzle spray, wow, roplets go down. And
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: so the thing is it has to be and I
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: was reading about this, mister H. So it has to
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: be hot enough where the things evaporated. It's not hot enough,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: then it just it's like rain. It just drops down
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't change. It's apparently so hot there. How
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: hot is it that this is the thing. But to
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: answer mister H's question, I do not see this coming
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: to America because here's why. The amount of billboard lawyers
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: in America. If you tried to in sell it, people say, well, no,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: you're not allowed to put water things on my building.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: You can't do that. That's number one people complain about that,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the hoa thing. Then number two people would also, uh,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: there'd be lawsuits because like one day it wouldn't be
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: hot enough, they'd turn on the water and then somebody
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: would slip the old slip and fall or they break
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: ahead exactly, and then so there'd be lawsuits. And I
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: don't think they have billboard lawyers in China? Do they?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Do they have? Have you been in China? Have you?
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: I have not been in China. A better call, Saul.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: The China Edition would be a great show. I'm sure.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: It's great if you drive across southern California. What I
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: like to do is it just counts Sweet James billboards.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: That's what I like to do. There's a famous Sweet
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: James who I've met, by the way, I met Sweet
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: James years ago, and I see his billboards all over there,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and so those and then what are the other we have?
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: We used to have Super Lawyer, Superwoman.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: She's oh j and Romi.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Oh she's still, but she changed her slogan. She's no
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: longer Superwoman. So it's unfortunate. Jacob av Morami and we
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: had him, Yeah, I've had him on Uh. I love
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: the motorcycle billboard guy. I forget. It's not as many billboards.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: He's got like an eagle on the billboard and he
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: specializes in motorcycle access like it's what every Yeah, on
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the on the five, there's seven consecutive all of them
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: from different it's outstanding. So anyway, yeah, so I don't listen,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: that's cool technology that it works. They figured out a
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: way to cool people down. I remember the old days
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: they used to open up the fire hydrants in New
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: York and let the kids run around get soaked in
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: the water.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Which was They already kind of have.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: That for produce, like with the stores, like you know
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: the like the little the little myths that comes on the.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Produce on the bell, peppers and stuff on the bell. Yeah.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: And then at the Mirage, remember when stick Free and
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: Roy was were like it was like a thing back
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: in bag was it the barrage?
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And then so whenever you'd go like inside that.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Little like uh like plant that planetarium but basically like
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: where the animals were, there was myst coming down already
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: because like the Wi me Vegas, I think they would
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: like really benefit from something like that, but I feel
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: like they've already had something like that before.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Small smart.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Are you saying, Breethe that the Chinese ripped off Sigfried
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: and Roy? Is that what you're saying?
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: That is exactly what I'm saying.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: I was saying the Mirage back in the day in
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: the early nineties that specific.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Time, or the tiger decided it was hungry.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: And the yeah, I think that was sope.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: And then they had dolphins there at the Mirage too,
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: because I used to live in Vegas around that time,
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: so I would go. I would go see the tigers
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: and the dolphins and everything.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: So I remember the myst coming down.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: That's a brief fun fact. Did you go to school
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: in Vegas?
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Or did you you went to kindergarten in Vegas?
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Odd, I got you? All right? Cool, all right, Ferg
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Dog in Fullerton writes, and he says, hello, Ben and
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: whomever else is that? That's pretty sale, Brianna. He's famous anyway.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: With the show going dark for all most of the
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: week this past week, I did what any sane person
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: would do, Ferg says. In that situation, I dialed up
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the way back machine to listen to classic episodes from
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen March seventh. To be exact, as per usual,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: your takes age like a fine wine, Ferg Dog says.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: You discussed Andrew Boget breaking his tibia in his CAB's debut.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I remember that they traded for him and that didn't
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: go well. The Raiders moving to Vegas and Christian mccaffery's
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: draft potential. But those stories aren't what I'm here to
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: talk about. Berg says, no, this very long email, he says, No,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: what I want to talk about is you and Robert
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: in Brooklyn getting robbed in Mallard's Mountain of Money. Robert
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: and I don't even remember that the game ended in
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: controversy and with no referee there to make a final decision.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Some listeners might still be left wondering who actually won. Yes,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: very a number of people concerned about the March seventh,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen episode of Show Anyway says you're up against
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Danny G. Remember him? I barely remember. I don't know
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: what happened to Danny He sold out to the day
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Shift Anyway, who flailed so badly in the first round?
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Ferk says he had to go to the bullpen for
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the second round. Now, I noticed two immediate red flags
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: with this game, Ferk Duck says, First, in the second round,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: you correctly pointed out Danny G's partner didn't get his
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: final answer in before the buzzer, which of course all
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the Bennettes disagreed with. And secondly, he says, I noticed
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: some foul play by whoever controls the buzzer. Danny G
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: got a full forty five seconds for his final round,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: but you only got forty two seconds. The Bennettes clearly
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: conspired against you to rig the game. So my final
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: ruling is Danny G is disqualified and you and Robert
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: in Brooklyn are officially declared the winners. Congratulations. Spent another
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: w for the all time game show when thank you
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Ferg Dog for doing that. See Brie, this is what
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: I don't have to do this work. Fergduck went back
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: to the archive, to the way back machine, and he
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: listened to I think that's as far back as he
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: goes twenty seventeen, because anything before that you don't want
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: to listen to. And that's been nine years. Holy crap,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: over nine years. Crazy, it's still there. But thank you
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: for Dock. I will text Danny G that he got
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: caught retroactively. The statute of limitations is not It does
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: not end for game show controversies.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: Oh no, especially not. No.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Jim from Pennsylvania writes in he says, hey, Ben, are
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: you excited about the possibility of the cyborg cockroach? And
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: then but this is bull crap because Jim sent me
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the story. So researchers, this is the kind of thing
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: that we're paying our money for. They built a wearable
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: diving suit that lets a cock a roach breathe and
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: move underwater for up to three hours. It says. Without
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the suit, who knew this? Cockroaches would suffocate in about
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: two minutes? Oh so you just I thought cockroaches could
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: survive nuclear bombs, although that we heard that's a myth. However,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: they suffocate in water, so you just have to pour
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: water on a cockroach, that's it. Who knew anyway? The
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: suit is chemical oxygen. It's a chemical oxygen generator closes
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the gap. Blah blah blah. So they headline on this
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: is bull crap. Breath They say, cyborg cockroaches. How do
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: you gets? How do you get a cockroach to put
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: on a wet suit? You know what I mean? Like
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: not that big and you don't really want to touch them?
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: How many? And don't they have like a ton of legs?
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Like don't you have to?
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: Like, Okay, I've seen you, obviously, you and I work
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: in the same place. I've seen crackroaches face up, they're
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: dead by the time we see them, obviously, but they're
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: all around our lovely Spot sports radio station. But I
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: couldn't imagine trying to squeeze, Like, how are you going
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: to get them?
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Number one, They're going to try to crawl away.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: Then if you try to put something on them, I
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: feel like they would just explode or become mush like
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: ew ew.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I agree. And I have seen multiple generations of cockroaches
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: working at Fox because those cockroaches begin with Denny's. Denny's, yes, Denny's,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: and you figure, we did the math on how long
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: a cockroach lives for and we determined that we're on
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: like three or four generation. I mean, they don't live
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: that long. They're not really bothered in there. Every once
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: in a while, this is the greatest tussle. So the
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: company will hire somebody or the building will hire somebody
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: to come in and fumigate the building to get rid
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: of the cockroaches. And that lasts for about two days
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: and then they're right back and all that stuff. But
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: the cockroach and there's multiple generations here, going back to
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: the original Denny's in that building.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: So yeah, why do they die face up?
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Okay? Because like when you see the dead ones. I
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: always see them like face up, like dead. So I'm like,
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: how did you die?
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Good question? Yeah, and they all seem to die. I've
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: noticed there are two spots where you see them on
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: that metal going into the old studio. I've seen yeah, yeah, everyone,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: So I'll be one in the hallway. Yeah. They do
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: end up on their back. They do, and I don't.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: Know why, Like, how does that happen?
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I have to look that up, Google that or ai
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: it or something like that. It must be a I'll
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: do a.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Book report next time for our next mail bag about
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: how cockroaches die.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Right, make sure to sign your name on it. Gary
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Kimch State New York says, Ben, are you a nep
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: O baby? Did your daddy help you get into radio?
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: He sent me this because of James Dolan, who I
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: guess this week while I was away Breed James Dolan
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: passed the New York Rangers ownership to his kid, who
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: is thirty two. Quinton is the guy's name, and he
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: will now run the New York Rangers NHL team. Yes, Gary,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: my I was an Epple baby. My dad was a
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Ham radio operator, so that's that's why I got into radio.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: This is because of a of course, Ham radio nothing
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: at all like commercial radio. And my dad should have
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: been an influencer, then I could have become an influencer,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: but that didn't exist when he was alive, so there
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: was no such thing there. So congratulations to the New
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: York Rangers. What could possibly go wrong with Quintin Dolan
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: thirty two years old running the New York Rangers. I'm
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: sure that'll that'll go up. That reminds me of a
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: story that when I was doing stuff years ago with
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers, and you know, back when it was a
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: mom and pop shop and the family owned the team,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: the O'Malley family, the second generation of the O'Malley's, and
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I was a radio freeloader in the back and I
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: was only hanging out always hang out with like an
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: interns because they would sit in the back row near
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: the radio guys. And there was this one kid that
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: didn't have like the full name on his credential thing.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know, but he hung out
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: with He's like one of the boys, you know, we
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: tell jokes the whole thing, and it was it was fun.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: And then near the end of the season, when the
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: internship was about to end and all that, and I
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: was gonna go do whatever I was doing. After that,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: it was revealed that that was Peter O'Malley's kid that
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: was interning. Oh yeah, I didn't know, but he was cool.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: He was like, he was like one of the one
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: of the cool, you know, just a regular guys and
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: we didn't know anything. He's we'd bust balls and chops
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: and all that, and you know, he was like, you know,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Peter O'Malley's still alive. A bottle how about that. Peter
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: is eighties, late eighties at this point, got to be
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: his late eighties. But yeah, his kid was an intern
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: to learn how to run the team and all that,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: and I think I think he ended up the kid
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: ended up running some minor league baseball. I don't know
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: what ever happened to him. I think he went into
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: the family business, and like I know, Peter O'Malley's his
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: one of his was his nephew or something and ended
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: up running the Potters before he died. So anyway, I
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: don't know, I just popped into my head, Brie. It's
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: a non sequitor, but.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Okay, other than like the bust family that's like the
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: ultimate NEPO children.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, there's some sports Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Giants.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there you go, there's.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: The Raiders Mark Davis. That greatness rate is Alf from
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: the Highways and Byways rights, And he says, Dear Benjamin
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: and special guest, what's the deal with people who ride
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: shotgun with their feet on the dashboard? Am I just
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: an old fart who is not as limber as some people?
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Am I the guy on his porch who's yelling at
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: people get off my lawn now, you kids? Am I
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: the only one who thinks about what happens when this
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: car crashes and the airbags come out and this person
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: gets folded into like a pretzel. I happened to be
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: in the Duncan drive through, Alf says, from his humble
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: abode in between Worcester and Springfield. He says, I happen
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: to be in the Duncan drive through the other day.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I know you're surprised and noticed a guy who had
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: taken this to another level. His left foot was on
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: the dash while driving. Uh what is the world coming to? Sincerely,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: one foot in the grave, Alf, So, Alf's upset with
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: people that put their feet up while.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: They're I've never put my feet up on the dashboard ever, ever, ever, ever,
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: passenger seat No, I've.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Never done that. I don't. I don't get it either.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: I think that's done. I mean, like, you know, how
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: much like space do you really need? You're just like driving.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: I've put my seat back.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: Like the other way, so I like lay down, But like,
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: I've never like put my feet up like that, unless,
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: like I was in a parked car.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's what it is.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: If I'm in a parked car and I'm kind of
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: just relaxing, I've done that before, and like.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's weird. Do you see people a lot doing
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: that driving?
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't see him driving doing that.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: I like, like you see passengers like what they're like.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: I mean you are just, you know, away on like
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: a malar vacation. So like when you were on the freeway,
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: did you see people driving?
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I have. I have seen it, and I must say
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: it's usually women. I gotta tell you that's so true.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, yes, passenger princesses. Yes, that is so true.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I don't see a lot of dudes doing it. It's
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: mostly women. Seat back feed up that's usually how that goes?
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: All right? So good luck, Alf, good luck on that.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: I'm on your side.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Alf.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: I'm one hundred percent on your side. I think it's done.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: I have a chick.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: There you go, one hundred percent. I love that Alf
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: is at the point now where because I'm the same
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: way like certain things just like what are you doing?
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Like just take like the person that gets in that
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: has to change lanes right in front of you and
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: then slows down, Like, what's the point? Oh, that's always
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: been annoying. That's thee outback John and Joanna in the
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: sen Gabriel Valley where I was. I told the story
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: yesterday the other day, Big Ben and special guest that
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: would be bri Brianna Merrow is her name. Ben. You
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: warned us that you were taking a rare and appropriate
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: few days off this week, but I slipped it slipped
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: my mind and was caught a little off guard when
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I heard Brian Know's voice. I like Brian Know, and
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I'm glad it shows him to fill in for you
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: on your much deserved time away. Our question for the
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: mail bag are The question is how much feedback do
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: you get from the Malad militia on whether they liked
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: or disliked the filling host. Why was the worst filling
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: host of all time? Arnie Spaniard from Outback John Well.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I love Arnie. I've known Arnie for many, many years.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Arnie was not the worst. People actually liked Arnie. Arnie
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: just couldn't handle the Mallard militia and it was very awkward.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: And once you show and this is true of anything
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: in life, certainly in radio, if you show a sign
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: of weakness as a talk show host, you will be
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: eating alive. And Arnie was eating alive and it was
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: a feeding frenzy. The other problem is Arnie lives in Connecticut.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I believe now he was in Yes, he was in
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: New Hampshire, but no, no, not New Hampshire, was in Vermont.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Because I visited. I visited Arnie's home in Vermonty. I
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: went to I got the tour of his old home
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: in Vermont was it was beautiful.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Did you bring back stirrup?
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: I did? We brought back to the that's all they have, Yeah,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: that's all they have ice cream. They have Ben and
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Jerry's ice Cream headquartered in Burlington, Vermont. And you go
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: a few hours up there's Montreal. We were going to
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: go to Montreal, didn't have time, didn't have to anyway. Arnie,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Arnie would still fill in. He's just he's too old
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: to stay up that way. He can't. He can't stay
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: up that way. It's unfortunate. And I do get a
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: lot of crap John and Joanna and everyone's got their favorite.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Some people love Brian know, some don't like him. Some
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: people love Bernie, some people hate Bernie. Chris Plank has
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: his fans, people don't like him. You can't win, like
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Mark and Reno sent me this long message. He said,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I miss you when you were gone, and then he
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: you know, I can't listen to this. I can't listen
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: to that, you know, the whole thing, and so yeah,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: and I have no control. There's a subset of people
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: breathe that think that I choose who fills in for me. No, nothing,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not Jim Roome, who you know famously for years,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Jim would pick the worst possible fill in the host
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: because he didn't want anyone to upstay Jim. And I
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: don't mind. I'm happy that people feeling. It's not the
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: easiest thing. I've been told by management over the years
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: that our show the overnight show is the hardest one
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: because like there's not a lot of interaction on the
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: daytime shows. I hate to say, but they're just kind
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: of talking and no one's really interacting with most of them,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: like Dan Patrick and Coward and those type things. So
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: when people fill in, it doesn't really change anything because
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: they're not getting much feedback from the listeners. Like overnight shows,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: pretty much all we do is have interaction and monologues
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: and things like that, and so people complain and whatnot.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: All right, let's keep it going. On the mailbag, I
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: mentioned Mark and Reno. He did have a complaint. This
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: one is from Stan in Parts Unknown Love When people
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: say parts unknown or he didn't say that, he just
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: didn't put a name. Stan sounds like an old guy's name,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: doesn't it. You don't hear anything, right, you don't hear
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: anyone under the age of what do you think sixty names? Stan?
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Is that that's short for Stanley? Right? I think I haven't.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: I don't think I'm actually I don't. I've never met
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: as Stan or a Stanley. But yeah, I'm too young, right, Yeah,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: that's fine.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, So your name is Brianna, but short bri right,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: you call people call what we call you Brie.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like the cheese.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: And my name is Benjamin, but I go by Ben.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: People say Benny. How did like Robert become Dick? Have
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: you noticed like that? That always fascinates me?
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Richard?
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Or Richard is dick too?
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Robert they called Dick. It's very odd. I
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: don't anyway, Stan, He says, Ben, are you're planning a
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: trip to Thailand? And he then sent this clip of
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: I assume you've seen this, but maybe not. There's a
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: bakery in Pataya? Is that how you said? In Thailand?
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: They have a viral treat for customers, a pastry. What
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: is this here? I do not speak pie, so I'm
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: not going to be good at this, but it translates.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: I'll just say it, Bri, cover your ears. Name of
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: the pastry translates to pubic hair. And anyway, it does
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: look like that this is from a cafe in Thailand.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: There's a the pastry chef there that also works as
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: a baking instructor consultant at other area bakeries. The recipe
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: is closely guarded. However, it does appear to have hair,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: a hair like topping and it's on fresh cream, and
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at it.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: Dark seaweed to add a savory salty contrast to sweet pastry.
• 30:23

  Speaker 1: looking at it.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't eat that if I would rather starve to
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: death than ever consume that over my dead body. What
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: are we doing here? Like the asteroid needs to come,
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: We all need to go. We cannot be doing this.
• 30:47

• 30:49
  Speaker 1: next week?
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: You're not gonna No, no, that won't be a staty

  Speaker 1: F No, drop that in there. I see what you
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: did there? All right? Thank you said? I have no
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: trips to Thailand planned? Uh No, I have you ever
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: been to Thailand, Bri, You you have not.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: If you remember that, this was probably like six or
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: seven years ago too, you had that. It was like,
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it was a bet or something,
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: or you had to eat oyster rocky Mountain oysters.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a clip that was
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: during the pandemic the c Yeah, oh.
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, yeah, so six seven years ago, I would
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: rather eat a Rocky Mountain oyster so the rest of
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: my life than ever eat that chroissant.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: My god, bree trust me, you don't do not eat
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Rocky Mountain oysters. Don't discussing all right, George from Chicago
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: rights in the Windy Well he's near Chicago. Uh, he says, Ben,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: who do you think smarter your dog, Moxie or a draft?
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: And he said this because apparently this week this is
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: another story that was bouncing around. I did see this, George.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: So there were four drafts at a zoo in Barcelona
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: and they did math and and drafts can solve basic
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: math problems. How about that?
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: I can see that.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Moxie does not do math. Moxie just kind of
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: lays there. And I don't think Breeze met Maxie. I
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: don't think you were. You didn't come to the last party,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: so I don't know that we had Maxi the year before.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: So anyway, uh, yeah, Moxie can't do math. He just
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: lays there.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: She doesn't have time for math. There's like other things
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: that require more.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Of her time. So I just think math is not
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: one of them.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Sleeping and eating are.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: The Yeah, those are the priorities of life.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: If that that's like, if that's all you need to
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: worry about, why would you want to do anything else?
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, exactly, Quaang from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam Rights,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: and he says guaranteed human. He says the move to
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: the Miami Heat would save an extra fourteen million dollars
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: in Yannis Adenta Kumbo's pocket if he signs an extension,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: according to what Quang found on the internet, thanks to
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Florida's favorable tax environment. He says, if Fox Sports offer
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: to relocate you to Florida and your family was completely
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: on board, what would you do with the extra money
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: you'd keep by avoiding a state income tax of up
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: to thirteen point three percent? He says, also been I
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: hate to say it, but you know what that means.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: But he doesn't hate to say it. I think Ask
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: a weed Man may have run its course. It might
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: be time to rebrand it Ask Lisa, because she often
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: seems to know more about Billy than Billy knows about himself.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Just my opinion, but I think it could make for
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: an even more entertaining segment. That's Quang from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: He says, Florida. I like, listen, I've over the years,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: I've had opportunities to relocate. Of course, most of the
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: jobs I've been offered have been in high tax states
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: on the East Coast. I have not been offered a
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: job in Florida. I consider it. Yes, would I move, No,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I would. I would not. My wife has a good
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: job and she doesn't want to relocate the Florida. So
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: don't you all retire? To my guy, Tony Bruno, he's
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: retired in Florida, living his life there on the east Philadelphia.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, he's lived in Florida for another years time.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Nice, He's I want to say near Fort Myers. I'm
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: not sure he's in. It's on the east coast or
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: the west coast of Florida, you know, neither Golf America
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: or Mexico whatever they're calling it these days. So right
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: over there. But yeah, so that'd be great to save
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't save fourteen million, but to save a lot
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: of money. It drives me nuts. The taxes in California
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: just drive me insane. But you know, it's unfortunately it is,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: and ask a weed Man. We'll see how it goes.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: The thing that kills me is when I gave weed
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Man his own segment Ask a weed Man, and I say, hey,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: do you have any opening thoughts? And he almost never
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: does other than like the same, you know, let's all
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: love each other or something like that, but like you
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: should come up with a an opening statement. I feel
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: like you should have an opening statement ready to go.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: But he does not. He just answers questions people a man,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Mostly ask him what his favorite weed is.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: They ask him where you know how many times you've
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: been arrested? It's it's the same questions every week. He's fascinating, though.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: And the great thing about weed Man is you could
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: ask him the most offensive question and he'll still answer,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: and he'll smile. He's like the happiest guy. Tark from Flagstaff,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Arizona says Ben and mystery guest. I hope it's Bree.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: If not, you can ask her opinion next time you
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: see her. What good news, Tark? It is bringing me.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: The woman is here and he's he wants to get Europe.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: He wanted to meet me, in my opinion, but you're here,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: so I'll ask you this woman is contemplating. Apparently this
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: was in the New York Post the other day. A
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: woman contemplating dumping her boyfriend because he has too many chips.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: She says she's developed the ick for him, three bags
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: of chips. They've been dating for seven months. She says,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: he's does everything else great, kind, good job, pays for her,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, treats her well. However, they went on
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: a trip together and he ate three bags a day.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: They call him. In Europe, they call him crisps, they
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: call them. And then she complained, also they were not
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: sophisticated chips. What the what is a sophisticated to you? Anyway?
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: I can't Apparently they're called space raiders chips. Those I
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: don't think are I've never seen those?
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: Are they the cheese ones? The space balls? Maybe? Maybe
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: maybe they're like cheese and covered their.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Their corn wheat sheepe like Martian heads. Okay, I've never
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: seen those.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: Okay, And so she wants to break up with him, yes,
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: because he and he also I guess, doesn't eat the
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: they want on.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: A trip and he just ate at McDonald's or whatever.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: They were in some countries somewhere and they he just
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: kept eating McDonald's.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: So all right, you me, oh, I don't like that part.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: You're representing all women, bree here is that reason enough?
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: This is a good guy, all right, Payser takes care
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: of her, got a good job, you know, treats are well,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: just likes eating space raiders and monster much. Is that
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: reason to say.
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: Bible, No, there has to be compromise. He needs to
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: go to announce like one bag or one and a
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: half bag and that would be okay, and then maybe
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: not do the McDonald's things.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: There has to be compromise. It is hard out here
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: for single people.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: So he's like eighty five percent good, you cannot dump
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: him for the fifteen percent.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: This is what's wrong with our society.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: We always think there's something better out there, and it's
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: like we should just be if like there's somebody that
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: we're compatible with, like an eighty five percent, like you
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: could deal with a fifteen percent chips.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: That's stupid. I don't know. I think that's so dumb,
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: like you.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: And this is my thing, Like I blame Sina, I
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: blame I blame the childhood fairy tales.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: Like everything has to be all the princesses. What are
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: we doing?
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: What I'm saying, But like everything, everything has to be perfect,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: you know, and like nothing's perfect right as you just
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: laid out, Bri, like you you want if it's over
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: whatever your threshold sixty five, seventy eighty percent, whatever it
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: might be. Like, but I feel like there's a lot
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: of people that like it's got to be perfect or
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: it's not worth it. Like no, nothing, no.
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: Just perfect, Nothing's perfect, That's what I'm saying.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: No, what I blame Absolutely she's done.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: What else do we have? We got a bunch more
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: limited time, so uh, let's see a couple more boo.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: I got some Fourth of July stuff. It's the day
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: after the fourth of July, so I don't know that
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: we want to go down some of that. Walker sent
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: a question about rats being genetically modified to avoid poison.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: He says, are you impressed? Sure? That isn't wild? How
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: that works? Like they just because if you die by poison,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: how to the next generation? How do they realize to adjust?
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Brek, Like, if they're dead,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: they died by rat poison, so how would they learn?
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: How would the next generations figure out to change their genetics.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: To avoid it, Like, so's to sense it and recognize
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: it and avoid it.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: See it's weird. Why are we caring about cockroaches and rats?
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: These are the questions I get, Bri. You can, you
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: can solicit what you want. I just I give out
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: the email. It's a real fifth hour at gmail dot com.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: Real not the questions just like science, like why are
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: we caring about rats and cockroaches?
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: Like I'm just upset at science.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: This is well, this is actually a problem in New
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: York where they're more mice and rats than people, And
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: it says sixty nine percent of the house mice in
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: the study carry the gene that is specifically confirmed to
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: help them survive blood thinning rodent poison. So this is
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: the problem that's trying to kill the rats, and now
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: the rats have adjusted to the poison. So now they
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: have to come up with other ways to kill the
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: rats than what they've been using, although it doesn't seem
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: like what they've been using has worked anyway. So there
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: is that l L LA. Let's see anything else. Carl
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: from Wooster I won if I met Carl, says Ben.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Is this a bad look for Mike Rabel, and this
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: is from the The Big Wedding this weekend Breed. Did
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: did you get into the Taylor Swift in Travis Kelsey wedding?
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Were you all about that action that officially happened?
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: Huh? I know now I saw that it was real.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: I thought it was like a fake thing.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: I thought they were going to like psych everyone out
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: and get married in like Rhode Island or something for la.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: So I can't believe that happened.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Adam Sandler was there. He was the person officiated. So anyway,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: like Rabel was there with his wife, which obviously that's
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: a story they playing with the other chick. Anyway, Rabel's
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: getting killed apparently according to Carl, because he there was
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: video of him and his wife getting into one of
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: those SUVs, the black SUVs, and he got in before
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: his wife.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: Before her. Yeah, it was like it was so awkward.
• 41:27

• 41:35
  Speaker 3: it was like it was ugly. That was gross. He's gross.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe she wanted to get out last
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: you know or you know. Sometimes I don't have no idea.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: I don't Usually they weren't even walking together. They weren't
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: even walking together.
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: It was like he was she was like three or
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: four feet behind him.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: It was weird.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: I wonder why they were not.
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: Well, you're going to be out in public, don't you
• 42:01
