  Speaker 3: the US of A?
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Oh? It kind of is. I mean, we you know,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: people don't really pay attention at work. There were worried
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: about the parlays and all that stuff. So we have
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: that to look forward to. And on this we got
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the mailback. I did want to start with this. I'd
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: mentioned this on the Friday podcast and I didn't get
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: to it yesterday. Bet job by me, but a little
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: left right center of the universe, Danny, I wanted to
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: tell this tale story time on the Fifth Hour podcast.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: So there are You've been to some of the parties
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: over the years, Danny them, And we've got the ugly
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Sweater party we do every year. But there are dinner parties,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and then there are Mallard dinner parties, the kind that
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: start with twenty seven burgers and end up with a
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: dice game somewhere in the middle and feature five kids
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: learning the fundamental You gotta start them young, the fundamentals
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: of gambling faster. They know gambling now more than they
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: know long division. The kids. Okay, so I'd mentioned I
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: took some time off, well the week prior because my
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: brother showed up from the East coast, and so we
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: had By the time this thing happened, we had eleven
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: people crammed into the to the Malor mansion. Me, my wife,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: my brother, you know, his wife, his kids, my cousin.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I have one cousin that lives locally and her kids.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: We had. We had a full We had a full house. Right.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: We are pretty much a roade band of underage wild
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: cards there. And the food, as always is abundant. We
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: had I was making the burgers there and all that stuff.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Uh and and so we had that going. We had chips,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: we had hot dogs, we had it was like a
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Vegas buffet, you know, chips flowing like the Colorado River.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Manja manja. You know, my wife's got some Italian blood,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: so manja manja. And you didn't eat until you were
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: you full. You ate until you were emotionally complete. And
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: then came the game. And this is why this is
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the part I want to talk about. So left right center.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I've talked about this game before. I love this freaking game.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Mindless fun three dice, three fake dollars or real dollars,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: if you're you know you want to go there one
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: family wide descent into competitive gambling madness. And uh, you
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: know you said, well, fake money whatever, it's durable fake money.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: But Danny, let me tell you something. When you put
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: three fake bucks in front of a nine year old
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: child and tell them they can win all the fake
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: they have no concept.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Right, That's why the board gay Monopoly has been so
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: popular for so many years.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like one of the kids, I'm pretty sure this
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: kid thought he was the Wolf of Wall Street playing
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the game right, because he had to fake money. And
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: it was funny because one of the one of the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: little girls that was playing my cousin's daughter, she was
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: very skeptical and you could tell she had been raised properly.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: So I of course announced to everyone as our kids
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: get around the table do a little gambling. So this
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: little girl, what a sweetheart. She's a I don't gamble,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: that's wrong. You shouldn't gamble, right, And so she didn't
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: want to take part. She walked away, right, She's okay,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: all right, fine, whatever, you don't have to get And
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: so we played a game and then my thing, Danny,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: whoever won the game, I actually gave real money to
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I had a extra money, I tossed some money their way.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: So once she found out there was real money, the
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: little girl all of a sudden her opinion on gambling
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: changed and she came back and she sit down, She's like,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: all right, here we go. And so it was great.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: You know. It's like, you know, they went from asking
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: if they could trade their chips for M and ms
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: or whatever, and then all of a sudden they're calculating
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the odds on each dice roll like some kind of
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: m I T blackjack thing or something like that. And
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: so the dice a flying left right center. You lose
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a buck, you gain a buck, You scream at your
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: cousin for rolling three dots and ruining your empire. It's
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: it is kind of like monopoly, right without the board, Danny.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: It's like monopoly. It's craps without the pit boss. It's
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: it's capitalism at its purest form. It's it ends up chaotic, loud,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and it's it's mindless, which I love. You don't have
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to think about it. It's so simple. There's no real
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: strategy to it. And at one point, my uh my,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: my my neph my nephew, or I guess I call
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: my nephews. My cousin rolled like three centers in a row,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: and you know, everyone you know going crazy and all
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: that stuff. It's like it's like a game winning shot
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: or a walk off hit and it it was really
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun. And yet it was fake money.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: As I said, there was some real money as I
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: gave out. But we are responsible adults, Danny. We we
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: we don't gamble with real cash unless we occasionally do.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: But it would be illegal to do that with real
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: cash with kids, right. But the stakes we had pride,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: there was honor. There was a little bit of a
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: bounty at the end that was paid out, and it
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: was it was just wonderful and we had a great time.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Everyone ate well and had a lot of fun.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: And and when these kids get to be twenty one,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: I think we know where they're going to be celebrating
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: their birthdays.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I really it is important. I don't know about
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you with the kids and stuff, Like I I have
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: fond memories when I would go to family reunions and
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I had one of my cousins gave me like the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: first beer I ever had, you know, those kind of
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: things like I think those are the experiences that you remember.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I don't remember a lot of stuff other than those
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: kind of weird, standout experiences anyway. All right, enough of that,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: let's get to the reason you're here. The mail bag,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and that means Ohio Al. It's all right, thank you
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: very much, O. Hi the great ohio Al.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: There.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: We love the man, very talented musician. I will meet
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: him at some point when we do the Ohio Meet
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and greet. Let's see who's up first. Dave Dave from Seattle,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: beautiful city, Seattle, love it, love it. I've only been
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: there when the weather's good anyway. Dave says, Hey, Ben,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: please tell Danny g to save this one for animal Thunderdome.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I know that Clay will love it, so I love that.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: The first message I got Danny is a message for
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: you to pass on to Clay. He says, there's a
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: warning out. This is from Dave. He sent me a
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: news story. A Frankenstein rabbit with tentacles sprouting from their
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: heads have invaded parts of the US. Do not touch them.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: They've been multiple spotted in Fort Collins, Colorado. Grotesque horned
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: creatures with black tentacle like gross sprouting from their faces
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: sightings are on the rise with this. This wouldn't make
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: animal Thunderdome. This is just about a weird Oh I'm
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: looking at a holy crap.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Okay, there's a story going around Ben about an army
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: of robot rabbits that they deployed in Florida to fight pythons.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Oh is that right? I'm sending you a photo, Danny
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: of right.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, send that. So when you were first saying that,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: I thought maybe that's what the story was.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, this is uh that doesn't that look like?
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Uh, let me see, I gotta see this one.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh it looks like some kind of rash
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: or fungus is growing on the on the head of
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the rabbit. Uh. If it can, it should be in
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: your uh your f Oh what yeah, it says. These
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Frankenstein rabbits have mainly been seen in Colorado. Researchers noted
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: that the cottontail rabbits throughout the Midwest could become infected.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: It's say, it's a rare box.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: It looks like spores on HBO Max. The last of us,
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: the people that got infected, they grew spores out of
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: their face, and that's what that looks like.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: It looks like when I was a kid, we had
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of eucalyptus trees and every once in a
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: while they get a fungus on it, and it kind
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: of looked like that. It's pretty pretty gnarly.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: That is freaky.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: But you're is is that an Animal Thunderdome story? Though
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: it's not about fighting animal, it's about you know, fungus fighting.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: It would probably get an honorable mention and it's not
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: something I would like focus on for a whole segment.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, I got you, I got you? And uh is
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: are you preparing CoA for Animal Thunderdome when that show
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: starts when he's thirty years old? Are you getting there?
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go baby twenty five.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: It's gonna happen, Baby, it is gonna happen. Yes, absolutely,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: all right? What is next year? Barry from South Carolina? Yo, Yo,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Mob Benny and Danny Gee. He says, So I'm not
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: trying to go to the third rail, my man. But
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: you know what that means, Danny? But yeah, he says,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I've been noticing that Lorena contributes and jumps in often
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: on discussions, and Roberto and Eddie also chipped in often
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: when they were on the show. Conversely, it seems like
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Coop never says anything except for when he plays the games.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Why doesn't Coop chime in more? Is he smoking a
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: ball during the show? That's from Barry and I couldn't
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: answer that. Barry, I have no idea. It would help
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: us out if he would be more engaged. He's just not.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: He's not really engaged in the show. A lot know
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: what's going on. I do know since Eddie left, and
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: you know, he didn't leave on his own accord, they
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: whacked him. But since Eddie left in November, I have
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: noticed Danny that by the end of the show, my
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: voice is like shredded chicken. My vocal cords are like
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: shredded chicken. Doing the four hours with mostly just me
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: talking for four hours. So it literally at the end
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: of the show and I feel bad. My wife's like, hey,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: she wants to talk to me after the show. She
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: works overnights at the police station, so like, I want
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: to call me up, and I'm like, I can't talk
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: to you. I have to I have to be quiet
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: literally for like.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Two you're like a singer on voice rest exactly.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's wild and it's but I don't
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: know what to tell you, Barry. I mean, he's you know,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I just I'm just happy when Coop shows up before
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: the show starts.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Anny, I know what part of it is. What's that
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: I know this from being in that studio with Coop
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: during your show. He hated it when any of our
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: voices were al along with yours when you were talking
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: about something topical in sports, because he was trying to
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: isolate it during the show to then send it to
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Veto and the guys to make a promo.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Out of Oh, okay, I'm looking for the pros.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: That's not the whole thing, but that's part of it
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: is that he used to be like, nobody say anything.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: I want Ben's take on this, because he was trying
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: to get that work done during the show. Gotcha, Yeah,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Plomo's that air all the time. Freddy from Ohio. I
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: don't know where. It's rather a large state, Freddie, he
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: does not say his Saison from Ohio says, hey, Ben
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and Danny g here's another question about the show. Danny says,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: how come every time some caller takes a shot at Lorena,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: we get a bunch of fans on social media, creating chaos.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: He says, well, Freddy, listen, what do you want me
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: to do? I have worked with women on Karen Ka,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Miranda Marino, some other women along the way, and I
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: have no problem. I work with anybody. I don't care.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: But one thing about women, Danny I've noticed is it's
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: it's girl power. It's like a double edged sword with
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: women on sports radio. And Lorraine has experienced this because
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: you have some guys who, no matter what she does,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: will defend her and her honor because she's a woman.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: And then there's other guys that are like, I hate
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: all women who are on sports radio, and so I'm
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: going to try to tear her down.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Women in talk radio are very polarizing.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, some people, no matter what she does, people love her.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: And then there's other people no matter what she says,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: she could solve cancer, and people will be like fuck her.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: You know. So it's like this weird it's this weird
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: thing is always every woman I've worked with, it's the
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: same thing. You know. I was just trying to do
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: a good show. I don't care who I mean. I
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: want to work with people that are engaged and want
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: to be part of it and all that stuff, and yeah,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: but it is interesting, Freddie, I don't know what to Yeah,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: don't know what else to say.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Let somebody personally offends you and says their name on
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: the air while they're doing it. Just be nice to
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: the whole crew.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just be nice to people. It's not you know,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: it's not that big. And now we do have a
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Big Lou from the LBC road in and Glue. He's
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: on number two. I love Glue. I love Big Lou.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Big Lou's great, good people. He's been to the studio
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: a few times. Love him. Big fan of the show.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: He's always support us. He works at the dreaded day
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: shift and he always tries to go to these mallor
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: meet and greets. He was supposed to go to Vancouver.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: He missed his flight. He's gonna be in Vason. We
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: will be doing a mallor meet and greet this coming Saturday.
• 14:38

• 18:01
  Speaker 1: of things that are going on, and the way I'll
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: answer this, and also Danny, the way I'll answer this,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: we will both get the reference because we're old. Do

  Speaker 1: One of my favorite scenes in that Remember the scene
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: it was the first Indiana Jones movie when someone asked
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Indy what he's going to do next, and he replied,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm making it up as we go along,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: right Like there's something like that, I don't know. I'm
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: making this up as I go not that I'm making
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: it up. We do have some tentative outlines of what
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: we're planning on doing. There is a wild card that
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: could change things dramatically that I'm not going to talk
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: about publicly here other than just some stuff that's in
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: the works that if things break right and it's like
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: the Hail Mary pass in the back of the end
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: zone and you win the game. I'm not expecting that
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: to happen. But the reasons I'm not announcing anything is
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: because that's still a possibility, so I'll let you know, Reggie.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: As you know, also, Danny, I am not afraid to
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: promote things. I am not afraid to just end up
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: going crazy and promoting stuff. So well, not at all.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: You'll let you know. Conspiracy theory Carl Right, since says, Hey, bandon, Danny,

• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know this. I'm gonna send you this story, Danny.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: It looks to me like, uh, well, first of all
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: the photo that's in the story. It kind of looks
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: like when a woman's pregnant and early on in the

  Speaker 1: pregnancy and you kind of look at the you know,
• 20:24

• 20:27
  Speaker 1: It's pretty small and you can't really make it out.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: It kind of looks like that. But this is like patternicity.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: This thing is you know scientists fire talking about an ultrasound.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: It's an ultra yeah, exactly, ultrasound. So me let me
• 20:39

• 21:09
  Speaker 1: eye of souron is it's again patternicity.

  Speaker 3: a while, the Robot Wars. Remember, Yes, yeah, I do,
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: I do.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know this is this is like next level.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: This is gonna they say it's gonna be fully mainstream
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: once people can really feel this and see, it'll be
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: fully mainstream. How do you bet on that? Wouldn't that
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: be easy to rig? All all boxing and MMA stuff's
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: easy to rig because.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: You're this was well in. Robots have become far more advanced. Now.
