  Speaker 3: Yeah, this has been in the can in the we

  Speaker 3: call it the bank, the audio bank.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: We actually did this two years ago.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: We don't even know what's going on anyway.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Ohio. You still think the Clippers are lob city shut?
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: How dare you?
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I'm going back. I'm going to Ken Norman. I'm going
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: old school clippers. I'm going I'm going back to Gary Grant.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I'm going old like nineties clippers is what I'm doing,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: all right? Or eighties maybe even eighties are here? We
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: go mail bag time, mail back, mail back, mail bag.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: It's this bag.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I first went up.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Is from our buddy Kwang from he says Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: He signed his emails like that anyway, Big Ben and
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Danny g did you hear about the radar study that
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: reveals a vast subterranean complex beneath the Pyramid of Giza?
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: And he says how deep it is? And uh in
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: uh deeper than something I've never heard of in Dubai.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: I guess it's a big building in Dubai. How is
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: this possible? Quang says, I did see the story. Has
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: it been verified? There were some people skeptical of whether
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: or not that's true or not, whether the story was
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: accurate or not. But there there must be some amazing
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: mysteries of the old world. And I'm not like shocked
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: that there might be some other I think there's things
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: in the oceans that we have no idea these, These
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: are a TikTok things that are flying out of the ocean.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: I think there's like some species, whether they are from
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: here originally or they're from somewhere else, that live in
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: the bottom of the ocean.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I totally buy that.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's outrageous to think there might be some. Now,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: if there is another like sub part of the planet.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine if those people were right, the Hollow
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Earth people that send me emails? Do you imagine, Danny,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: if there's actually a hollow Earth and there's some kind
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: of like gremlins and creatures living in the middle of
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: the Earth, and they were right, the Hollow Earth people,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: and we all goofed on them all those years.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Man, check this out. This popped up this past week
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: as well. The James Webb Space Telescope has detective methane
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of exoplanet K two
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: eighteen B, which is located one hundred and twenty light
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: years from Earth. These findings suggest the planet could be
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: inhabited with life. It says the detection indicates active chemical
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: processes and the possibility of environments conducive for life. Further
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: observations are planned to explore these prospects. So they think
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: there's aliens on this planet.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's wild.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: There's like an equal person beside it and another one inside,
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: and it has big guys.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: They're looking at us coast to coast. It's like that
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: famous quote. I think it was somebody named Arthur Clark
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: who said there are two possibilities that exist. Either we
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: are alone in the universe or we are not. Both
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: are equally terrifying when you think about the reality. I
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: don't think I think to think that somehow this is
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: just it's so crazy when you get out of the
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: city lights and you go out and look out to
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: the heavens and you see how many stars there are,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: and you think there's planets all around those like, there's
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: probably tons of life out there far far away, and
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: the issue is whether or not we can get to
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: those people they can get to us, And yeah, I buy. Also,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Quang says, what happened to the backscratcher segment on the
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Fifth Hour podcast.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: That is a great point, Danny. We have not done
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the backscratcher.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: We pretty much gave off because we were getting a
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: few and we got to a round number and then
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: after that we kind of like we just kind of
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: stopped doing it. We should bring that back the reviews
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: on the podcast, and I know I've been trying to
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: promote the pod on the Overnight Show and mixing that in.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: In fact, we just got one a few days ago.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: How about this, I'm looking right now on the Apple podcast.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Are you going to do an impromptu backscratcher feature?
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I think we should do that right now? Here we
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: go Backscratcher.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: That was the intro, the old intro. Remember Backscratcher I
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: made I mean I made that up. There was no introd,
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: nothing through Way Nick.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Through Way Nick wrote in this week, he says, I
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: call myself a PC listener podcast. I'm on the dreaded
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: day shift, but love the sleep pattern. I started listening
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: to the Ben Mather Show live just before his nine vacation.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: That's that's why there was a six month, twenty six
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: day vacation and got hooked upon his return.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: And here I am the fifth hour.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: I chase that with a fifth five hour energy, says
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: says our guy through Away. Nick. Well, thank you, Nick,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: very kind I appreciate that. That was the first review,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: by the way that we got in like three months.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: It had been it had been a minute, Dan, it
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: had been a while, but we stopped mentioning it. So
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: when we stopped mentioning, mentioning the review thing. But that
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: does help us out, not that we we're up to
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: where we had four forty something for forty one. I
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: think it is on the podcast review thing, so we're
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: nine away from another round number kind of around number
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: four fifty.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Now. Has our overall rating recovered yet from you and
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: gascon talking politics?
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Ah? Yes, yes, we had Gascon put on the entire
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: five news lineup when I was doing the podcast, and
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: the pod.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Od ratings did not do very well.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: But we are back up to a four point nine
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: and so that's pretty good, right. We can't go much
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: higher than that. We're not gonn gonna get a five.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: We're never gonna get a five. And yeah, that was
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: that was right? That was It was like when was
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: that COVID I don't know when that was that was.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: It might have been the COVID time you put on. Yeah,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: we just put these guys on. They were fine. I
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: didn't have a problem with it, but many of you did,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: so you let me know you complained and and all that,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: but that does help us out. We did forget about
• 8:36

• 9:54
  Speaker 3: On the mailbag, Ben and Dan, this is Nate from Dallas,
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: it says, guys on then there was an earthquake in
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: southern California this week. I saw this clip on Instagram
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: of the elephants at the San Diego Zoo and I thought,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: of you guys, what do you guys do during the earthquake? So, Nate,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: have you seen this video?
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys bight talked about it. The elephants at.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: The San Diego Zoo during the earthquake, they formed an
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: alert circle. This is wild, dude, this is the animal
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Kingdom at its finest right here.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Yes, man, if Clay Travis was doing the Animal Thunderdome
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: podcast with me, we would have covered this. And I
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: got one of those stupid alerts on my phone that
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: there was an incoming earthquake, and it's said to drop
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: cover and get ready for an earthquake, And so I
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: put CoA in the middle of the living room and
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: I'm waiting, and I'm waiting, and nothing happens. It was
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: a false alarm. For how far up north I am
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: compared to San Diego.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I actually did wake up because of it.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: I was sleeping during the earthquake, and my wife woke
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: me up and said, hey, having an earthquake, and she
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: was worried that stuff was gonna fall from the ceiling,
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: and I was like, dude.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: The anxiety of getting one of those phone alerts before
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: the earthquake actually hits. They have spent years trying to
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: get this to where there's some sort of you know,
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: ramp for us to like be ready, whether it's ten seconds.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: I read something that what they're hoping is they can
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: give people at least twenty seconds. That's a dream, I think.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: But there's been big earthquakes here. There are bigger earthquakes
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: in southern California where we had like five seconds before
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: the earthquake actually happened. So all that does for you
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: is maybe gets you away from, you know, where a
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: mirror is hanging up in your room or something like that.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: Maybe you can at least get to a part of
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: the house where something's not going to crush you to
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: your death.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was initially these You go, right, I always
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: go to the earthquake website they have, I think most
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: people do these days, and you go, all, right, well,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: how big an earth was that?
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: It was that big? You know? Was it was it
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: a you know seven?
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: No, and they always go big.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: It was originally like a six, right, and then it
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: went down to like a five or something like that.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: This week there was a five point six earthquake in Indonesia.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: There was a four point nine. Where was that in Tonga? Uh,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: the Galapagos Islands had a five point and these are
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: there's like four's and fives quite a bit. In Chile
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: this week there was a five point six magnitude earthquake.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I didn't.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: I was awake because I got woken up and then
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: my phone obviously like everyone else, but we did not
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: form the alert circle like the elephants nate.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: So just shows you how amazing the animal kingdom early is.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: That's great, that's awesome, so sweet, all them just Hey, we.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Got to look out for each other.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: All right, let's everyone get in a circle here, let's
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: protect all right, Steve from Tampa, Right, since it's Ben
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: and Dania, I enjoyed Benny's Basketball injury Bingo this week.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: How much research did you actually do before you made
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: your picks? So we brought this back. Then it's Benny.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: I said we're gonna do this last week on the podcast.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: I forgot, and then our buddy from San Francisco called
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: up to remind me, and so then I was gonna
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: do it, and then I did it like the next day,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: and Tony from the Bay reminded me. So it's it's
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Benny's Basketball injury Bingo or NBA injury Bingo and all
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: that stuff. So what I did, Steve, this was pretty
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Obviously we're only picking five players, so you know, at
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: the very top, you got to get Kawhi Leondard.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: That guy is the og.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: He is the Otani of injury in the playoffs, so
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: you want to get him. And then I just tried
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: to pick as many older players as I could get,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Like I didn't get my hands on Lebron, but Lebron's
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: it would be a good one. So, yeah, we brought
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: that back. Anybody on the Clippers is half of what
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Kobe Bryant is.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was out of context audio.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Mike from Wisconsin writes and he says he I been
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: in and Danny, do you think that Elon Musk actually
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: bought Twitter not to save free speech but to find chicks.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: That's from Mike He's and then I guess there was
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: this story going around. I guess he's been hitting up
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: random women on X to have his babies.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Is that? Yeah? But he pays, well.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: How much does he pay?
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Do we know how much he pays?
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I'll have one of his babies. How much does he pay?
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: There's a report from one of his past baby's mama's
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: let me let me look it up to give you
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: the number.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: There was a story.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: This reminds me of a very famous boxer who was
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: a big star in the nineties when I started in
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: sports radio, and he had a habit of knocking up
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: random women who loved loved his boxing, and he had
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: a stand. He had a standard fee, but he would
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: actually pay the women to not have the baby. He
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: didn't pay them to have the baby, he paid them
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: not to have the baby. And he had like a
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: going rate. There was like a standard boilerplate contract that
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: his people had worked up to not have.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk was like, I want you to app.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Here's the story I was thinking of. Elon Musk offered
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: Ashley Saint Clair fifteen million dollars to keep quiet about
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: the son he had with her.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Oh but she didn't keep quiet.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: It says fifteen she. It says, how would you do that?
• 15:30

  Speaker 3: I know you like to talk about ways to make
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: more money. Have you thought about getting into art smuggling?
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Or not excuse me, ant smuggling. It looks like art,
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: but ant smuggling. And then he.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Sent me a story. Here apparently Danny in.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Kenya there was a massive bust of lucrative ant smuggling,
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: like the kind of pests in your backyard and all that.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: According to the story, this was an international ant smuggling ring.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Authorities valued a Belgian man's stash of ants around seven thousand,
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: seven hundred dollars. There was another stash that was found, however,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: the queen ants. They wanted per ant one hundred and
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: thirty one to two hundred twenty six dollars for a
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: single ant. Okay, well, okay, all right now, so if
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: you have, but you can't get that many queen ants,
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: can you, right? Queen ann is the that's the gold
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: standard ants. Those are hard to find. But if you
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: could find let me do the math on that. Let's
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: say you can get your hands out of Kenya. You
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: can get your hands on We'll do like four hundred
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: and twenty five ants, and then you sell them for
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: two hundred twenty five dollars.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: You would end up with.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Almost one hundred thousand dollars. Okay, in ants, we're not
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: talking about We're not talking about cockroaches. We're not in

  Speaker 4: I like to do it.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: I'd like to do it once a month at least.

  Speaker 3: I got some good feedback from people that like, oh,
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: you should do that more. You should.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I feel like we do it too much. It cheapens it.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: It is like this weird sweet spot where you want
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: to do it just the right amount of time, not
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: too much.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: And it's like you always say, rare and appropriate, Yeah.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Rare inappropriate, verre inappropriate. So but it was fun. People
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: are so nice on Newby nine and it's great to
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: hear some new voices and there's no schmucks. Everyone's polite
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: and the big fans and they tell these stories about
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: how they listened a long time and it's good.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: It's good for the ego.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: So we should do it more, Reggie, I don't know
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: why we don't. Well, we'll try to do it at
• 21:16

• 23:43
