  Speaker 3: as we hang out together on this Sunday, the final
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Sunday of the NFL.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: We had a couple of games on Saturday and the
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: full card. Today we have the mail Bag coming up.

  Speaker 1: That's Real Fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Would that
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: being said, ohio al, please get me in the mood.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: It's in this mail bag. Very good. These are actual
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: letters by actual listeners. We have not done the mail
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Bag in a couple of weeks, and we are back
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: at it here today. So the first one up from
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Andy from South Carolina Wrights and he says, hey, Ben,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Are you mourning that this is the last Sunday of
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the NFL regular season? Which is what I just said, Andy,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: but you're not listening because it's a podcast. No, to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: answer to the question, I am not mourning that this
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: is the last Sunday of the NFL regular season. I
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: have been around a couple of years, and while we
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: love the NFL, it's exceptional for business, it's absolutely fantastic
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and all of that, the silly season is also exceptionally
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: good and often often just as good, just as good
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: because you have the I'm sorry to phrase it, in
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the offseason. No one really loses, right. People think that
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: they might their team might be losing, but there's always
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: this cock eyed optimism which has always been mind blowing
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to me. So No, and the NFL regular season ends today.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: We have the playoffs, which are fun, right, We like
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. Those are always good. There'll be some breath
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: taking moments in the playoffs, electrifying games, and there'll be
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of bad games as we navigate our way
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: through the playoffs, and some of the takes that we've
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: had all year will be validated, which is always fun
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: hot take validation, and then we'll slide into the coaching
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: mary go round the coaching carousel, as we like to
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: call it, and then the NFL combine, and then certain events,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: these pillars of the NFL offseason. So we'll be okay, Andy,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: we'll be fine. And the good news about this being
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the last Sunday in the NFL, you don't have to
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: watch the Raiders play or the Jets play, not that
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: we watch them play anyway any reasonable person, though any
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: reasonable person would say, well, it's good not to have
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: to watch, even by chance stumbling onto a Raiders or
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Jets gime. So but thanks for your concern, Andy, I
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: appreciate that now there are people that do what I
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: do for a living that are not on the same page.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: That they will not know what to do with themselves
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: once the NFL winds down, and they'll be scrambling and
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: trying to adjust and all of that. But we don't
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: have that problem. We don't. Next up on the mail
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: bag is Jade, a wingman from just outside Knoxville, Tennessee.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: He says it was a bummer hearing that Big Sexy
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: about Big Sexy on the fifth hour, he said, but
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that you told the story as it was
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: from before my time as a listener. JT says. The
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: last several years have brought many great losses to the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Valord Militia, and you are right, Overnight radio is different.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: JT says. The reason it's a militia is because we
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: kind of have a bind together, even if we are
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: all from different backgrounds and places. Yeah, that's the magic
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: of it, right, We all kind of come together. We
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: have one common goal, which is trying to stay awake
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: at night and maybe even talk from sports. So the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: email continues from JT. So that being said, what else
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: in your life gives you fulfillment like the time you
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: spend talking into the microphone, be it live radio or
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: a podcast, JT says, For me, even though I spend
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: so many hours behind the wheel of a truck, I
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: love to get out on my Harley and take on
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the open road, this time taking in God's beauty and
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: enjoying the fresh air. That's wonderful. There you go, and
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: he says he he says, a great Sunday. Look forward
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to listening to the live show when you return from
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: a well deserved break. That's our buddy, JT. The wingman
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: who's been to a bunch of Mallard meet and greets
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: over the years. Hopefully we'll run into JT at some
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: point here in twenty twenty six, with tentative plans to
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: have several big Mallard meet and greets all over the place,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: depending on a few other things, but some of these
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: will definitely happen, And whether all of them happen, my
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: guess is based on past experience. Probably not, because people
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: flake and things happen and whatnot. But we will get
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: out and about and hang out with you, hopefully JT
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: and some of the other guys. As far as what
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: gives me fulfillment in my time, I don't know if
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: there's any one thing. I spend so much of my
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: time JT preparing for the radio show or podcasts or
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: things like that, so I don't have too much free time.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I've had a lot of free time the last couple
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: of weeks because of limited work, although I've still been
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: doing Benny Versus the Penny, which is a labor of love,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: more so this year than in years past. Benny Versus
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the Penny on YouTube you can still watch that. For
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the final Sunday of the NFL regular season, we'll be
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: back for the playoffs next week. But I enjoyed looking
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and traveling around. I don't get out on the road
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: and drive just to drive. I don't have a Harley.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not a Harley guy. JT the Wingman. But I
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: do like traveling and seeing new places, and spend a
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: lot of time in the last couple weeks catching up
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: with some family. So that's been a lot of fun
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and it gives me some level of fulfillment. Ferg Dog
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: writes in from the winter wonderland of Fullerton. He says,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: happy New Year, Ben and Danny G. This email might
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: seem a little familiar, but last time I sent it,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Danny G accidentally nuked the podcast, So just act like
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: it's the first time you're reading it all. I will
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: pretend that I have not seen this email, and hopefully
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: this one will actually make the podcast. We'll see stay
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: tuned developing hot dot dot dot. Ferg Doog says, you
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: were not wrong, Ben, when you go on vacation, I
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: go on vacation. The second I hear and sitting in
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: for Big Ben in the intro, I immediately turn off
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the radio. I don't even stick around long enough to
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: find out who's filling in, Ferg Dog says, like you
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: always say, the most valuable thing people have is their time.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: It's not my money, it's your time. He said, h
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: this is not money, it's your time. And I choose
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: not to spend my free time listening to blank blank
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: blank blank. I hope you understand you are free to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: do what you want. For a dog, you are free.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Although I do think I still get credit, although it's
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: kind of weird over the holidays, if people are listening. However,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I would imagine that if the numbers go down when
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not there, that's not a bad thing, meaning that
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the company knows the value of the person that normally
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: hosts the show. But I have no idea how all
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: that works, he says. Have you guys heard about this company? Heleon,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: they're great. I get all my Flintstone vitamins from them.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Do you take a daily vitamin or do you think
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: they're a total scam? Says Ferg Dog. Well, even if
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: they don't work the way they're exactly designed vitamins. I
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: know the placebo effect is a big thing. That there
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: are certain vitamins that I take on a semi regular basis.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: But if you want me to go on a long
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: rant about vitamins. This is not going to happen right now,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: not today. Maybe next week or the week after. It
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: could happen, but not right now, Lucky Tony writes. In
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: on the mail bag, he says, Hey, Ben and Danny
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: g He says, if me going to blank blank on
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Veronica Leal, I guess that that must be like a
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: porn star, right. Can someone help the Bears win it all?
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: He says. He says, if blah blah blah blah blah,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I will take one for the team. Go Bears. And
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: he says, what does twenty twenty six have in common
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: with twenty twenty five? Lucky Tony ass He says, David
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Veasse can eat a plate of blank? All right, very nice,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: you're one of my favorite Lucky Tony. Happy New Year
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: to you, Lucky Tony, outstanding, wonderful. Next up, mail bag, Eddie,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: not that Eddie, not Eddie from Charlotte, not the guy
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: that used to work on the show, Eddie from Tampa, writes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: and he says. Scientists have claimed a new dark matter
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: theory that could explain the existence of a hidden universe.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: It says, Ben, can you please give me some insight
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: on this. That's from Eddie in Tampa. So I read
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the story. I wonder how much of this is bull
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: crap and how much of this is legit. But the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: story said that dark matter, which is a invisible substance
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: that makes up for five to six of the universe.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: But until now scientists assumed it was created during the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Big Bang, but they have now theorized it could have
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: very well followed days after the universe again, so like
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: there's a second there were two big bangs, bang bang
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: like that, you know. And this is a going to
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: a University of Texas Austin physicist, So Eddie, the key
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: part of this is theorized theorized. That's like me giving
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: an opinion. This is a theory on what may or
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: may not have happened, the new dark big Bang theory
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: and all that. And I continue to go by my
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: theory that there is a whole lot of other stuff
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: out there, a lot of things out there. Now. My
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: belief is a lot of these critters and creatures that
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: are flying in the sky at night, and these unidentified
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: flying objects are things that are living deep in the oceans.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: That's been my theory, My recent theory. I've had that
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: for the last couple of years, actually longer than that,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: longer than that. So there you go. Do they have
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: to remake Eddie The Big Bang theory to the Two
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Big Bangs? Sounds like a movie that Lucky Tony would
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: watch in his spare of time, The two Big Bang,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: And Lucky Tony's like, well, I'll watch that as long
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: as the Bears win the Super Bowl. Reggie from Detroit
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: writes in Good to Hear From Reggie, a regular email
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: contributor to this podcast. Reggie says, boys, welcome to twenty
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: twenty six. I wanted to get your thoughts on no
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Stradamus and his big predictions for the new year. That's
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: from Reggie from Motown. I did see this story, Reggie,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: although much like the previous story from Eddie the guy
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: from Tampa who sent a story from a professor or
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: a psychia psychiatrist, a physicist, there we go, dummy, a
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: physicist from the University of Texas talking about two Big Bangs.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: It was that theorized, which is a bit of a
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: weasel word, theorized. Well, this story, Reggie about Nostradamus, not
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: nostro genus. He lives in Seattle, but no Damas, and
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: it says that even though Nostru Damis is known as
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the prophet of doom, that he never explicity explicitly wrote
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: predictions for the year twenty twenty six, which is amusing.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: This is in the now full disclosure. Reggie sent me
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: a story which is from the New York Post, and
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Reggie sent me the story and he explained that these
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: are the big headline here is you know, Nostra Damas
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: writes predictions for the year twenty twenty six. However, it
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: says in the fine print, if I'm reading this properly
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: and it is rather early while we're recording this podcast,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: it says that Nostradamis never explicitly wrote predictions for twenty
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: twenty six. However, however, a cousin of but however true
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: believers in the bat blank which means bat shit, they
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: looked to the number twenty six and they saw the
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: following disasters. So this is again much like the previous story.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: This is a theory, a theory Reggie that says we
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: are going to have rivers of blood, plagues of bees,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: and death by lightning. Ooh, do do do do do
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: do do do Do Do do do do do do
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: do Yes. Well, they call them the prophet of doom.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Are we gonna have rivers of blood? I'm gonna go know.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Will there be a river that is dyed red? Eh? Yeah?
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Likely around February according to my crystal ball, right around
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the time that we have fun, fun fun in Valentine's Day.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: A plague of bees. I'm sure at some point there'll
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: be a bunch of bees that attack someone and they
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: will die this year because of bees. Death by lightning. Yes,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: people will die. They will be hit by lightning. Someone
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: probably already has been hit by lightning and died. My
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: grandfather was hit by lightning. He lived, though he didn't die.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: He lived a long life and made it all the
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: way to the age of ninety and then that was that.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: But he did get hit by lightning. Kevin from La
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: rights in and says exciting news. Ben, I know you
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: like UFOs. I'd like to hear you host Coast to
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Coast sometime for George Norie. Well from your lips to
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: God's Ears, Kevin, I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: but I wouldn't do it. If they asked me, I
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: would do it. I would love to sit in and
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: talk about extraterrestrials and chemtrails and the underworld and all that. Anyway,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Kevin wanted to get our thoughts on an Air Force
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: nuclear specialist claiming that Donald Trump could release bombshell UFO
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: pictures soon. This guy named Jean, a national security expert,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: and well, I says former ex Air Force nuclear protection
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: specialist said that the public may at the very least
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: be given enough to satisfy the collective. Itch is the
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: way the story was written here. So first of all, Kevin,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: thank you of thinking of me when you think of
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: UFOs or unidentified flying objects whatever I mean, whatever they're
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: calling UFOs these days. Donald Trump was president for four years.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: He then took a four year break for the weekend
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: at Bernie's Experience in the White House, and now he's
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: back and he's heading into another year and so far
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: nothing And as I understand it, based on watching a
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: bunch of documentaries and reading some stories on the dark web,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: that not only Trump, these photos have been around. Let's
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: put it that with these photos of whatever that stuff is,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: whatever those things are, has been around since at least
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the nineteen forties and so Trump had access to all
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: that stuff and didn't release it. So I am a
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: bit skeptical, a bit skeptical that we're gonna see any
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: any real photographs. And plus with the age of AI,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: good luck everyone. So well, that's just AI. And the
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: same theme continues Kevin, as we had with Reggie from
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Detroit and Eddie Getty's in Tampa. Those guys sent stories.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: There's a weasel word right here. It's a fun game.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I should I should just do a podcast, spot the
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: weasel word? Where's the weasel? Pop goes the weasel? Well
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: in this one, Kevin could is the weasel word? Could?
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I could get a daytime show in twenty twenty six
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: and make legitimate money. I could do that. I'm not,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: but I could. I could wake up one morning, get
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: a phone call from some corporate muckety muck and say, hey,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: we want you to go to the Dreda. So I
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: don't want to go to the day ship, all right,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: we'll pay you what coward's making. Okay, I'm there, sign
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: me up. I'll change my entire schedule around Rob from
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the six one nine. For those who don't know that,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Sundaye go beautiful Sunday A go, Rob writes, and he
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: says from my old radio stomping rounds, he says, Ben,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I was reading this week about a castle that was
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: uncovered in France under a hotel, and it made me wonder,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: what do you think is under the Malor Mansion? From
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: your radio friend Rob in the six to one nine. Well,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: thank you, Rob, appreciate that. And so what do I
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: think is under the Malor Mansion? I'm going to go
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: out and a limb here and say, a lot of dirt,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of dirt, and if you dig all the
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: way down, you'll find a willy mammoth. And then if
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: you keep digging, you'll get to the core of the
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: earth and there'll be a lot of heat, so we
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: are told. Although I still get emails every once in
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: a while from the Hollow Earth Society. So it is possible,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Rob from the six to one to nine, it is
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: possible that if you go down far enough, there's a
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: whole world in the middle of the planet little knowme,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: people that live there and live their lives and all that. Now,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: as far as the story Rober was referencing, this is
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: kind of cool. So there was a fourteenth century castle
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: that was discovered in the middle of a town, which
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: is not like a small town, it's a decent sized
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: town in France. It was situated under the courtyard of
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: a hotel. The six hundred and forty year old castle.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Think about that has been confirmed as the Chateau de Hermin.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: It was built in the thirteen eighties. Think about that
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: for a second, by John six the Conquer, John six,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: the Conquer. Between these spring in autumn of last year, they
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: say that the archaeologist, the excavation people carried out an
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: excavation by the National Institute of Preventative Archaeological Research. That's
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: a mouthful in rap is what they're called in rap
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: And they uncovered it. So my question, and I did
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: not read the whole story, maybe it's in here rob
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: and if somebody knows the answer is like, how does
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: that stuff happen? Like how does that much dirt? Did
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: they just bury the castles back in the like the
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: fifteen hundreds they say, all right, we're done with this castle,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: let's just put a bunch of dirt on top of it.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Or did land just move around that much? Was there
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: massive earthquakes or something like? How does that much dirt
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: get on top of a chateau. I'd love to know that.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I guess I could go down a rabbit hole and
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: figure it out myself, but it's more fun just to
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: have you do the work for me. It is crazy, though,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: And then what do you do with it? Do they
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: just leave it and then have like a doorway where
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: you can go down and check out the chateau of
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: John six the Conqueror. Good nicknames? Good nicknames they had
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: back in the thirteen hundreds, John six the conquer I wonder, though,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: did they call them by those names or are those
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: names that were given to them long after their death?
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Did you have to address John six the Conqueror? Please
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: hello John six the Conqueror. Could you call them John?
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know. A guy named Dallas writes in on
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: the mailbag on the fifth hour. Dallas is from Ohio,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: which is rather odd because he's named Dallas. Anyway, he says, hey, guys,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: I know Danny's a big fan of these I'm assuming
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: you are too as well, Ben, but they're dead. He's
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: talking about leggings story here says sales overall are dropping
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: for the leggings very popular with the ladies. Lulu Man
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: laid off one hundred and fifty people in June, I say,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: for a variety of reasons. However, these sales of leggings
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: have gone down to the point now according to this
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: story that Dallas sent that if you're spotted wearing leggings,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: that you're considered a boomer. So Dallas is Ben and Danny,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: are you mourning the loss of these leggings? Well, Dallas,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: first of all, boots on the ground, traveling around, going
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: around to different locations. This story is bull pucky. Bull
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Pucky is what I don't buy it. I don't buy it.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Lulu Man, the overpriced clothing store. Have they laid off people?
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: It's possible, possible people aren't spending the money on their product.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: In terms of seeing leggings, I see them all over
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: the place. I don't what has replaced the legging because
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: when I go out, I notice it's hard not to notice.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: In certain locations there's a lot of people wearing leggings.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: So I don't buy it, at least not where I am.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Maybe in Ohio or Arkansas or Kentucky or Tennessee. I
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: don't I'm not there. I just know based on my experience.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: This is seems like total nonsense. That's what it sounds
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: like to me. All right. Next up, Louis from k
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: C rights in and he says, it's a new year, Ben,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: and that means new names. Are you on board with
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: the TikTok name game? All right? So Louis sends, there's
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of words. Louis, there's too many words. Just
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: sum it up in a couple of sentences. My man,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: let me skim through this, blah blah. So this story
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: claims that, according to a baby naming website, the young
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: young people in their twenties having kids are dumping the traditional.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: Names like Mike and Dave and I don't know, Samantha
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: or Cindy or whatever names you think are normal names,
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: and they're choosing names that sound magical, mythical, nostalgic, or
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: from TikTok.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: They're using big words, mixing together romancey, ancient epics, pop
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: star lore and all kinds of nonsense. I mean, there's
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of big words here that I don't know
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: how to say. I don't know how to say. So
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: they say there's two waves of names they have noticed here,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: and some of the names are Emery's cassion Aslan Ambrose.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I feel like I've heard that before, Ali Staire. You've
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: got names that are also popping up from let's see here.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: You've got Coda, kaya Jinu, I don't, I don't know
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. You know, you called the name a kid,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: and then you hope the kid likes the name, and
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: if not, they'll change the name and they'll call them
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: they'll be called by nicknames. But I will tell you
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: it's a curse to put on a kid. When you
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: give a kid a name that is not a standard name,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: that's got a weird spelling, it becomes a huge issue
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: in school, you know. You know what I'm saying. Louis
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: you feel me on that. Yeah, Like you know, because
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I don't say it, I don't spell it, you know.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: And then also when you go on vacation with the
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: family and you try to get one of those do
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: they still have those little license plates or the key
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: chains with your name on it? And then you're like, hey,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: can I can I get a key chain with my
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: name on it when I go to Disney World? Well, no, no,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: you can't, because you've got like extra vowels in there,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: and there's extra thing Ama Jigs and the dew Hickeys
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: and all that. They don't have that. So okay, Adam
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: from Viva Las Vegas. Adam writes in he says, Ben
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: and Danny, I know it's this is not a sporty podcast,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: he says, but I had a sports question. So what
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: is your take on the Micah Parsons versus Jerry Jones battle?
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: All right, so I did see this, Adam. I'm not
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: completely blocked off from the sporting world, and we'll be
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: back tonight doing the radio show live for the first
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: time in twenty twenty six. And so Micah Parsons was
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: laughing because Matt eber Flews, the defensive coordinator at least
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: for today of the Dallas Cowboys, made some comment about
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: how one of the reasons I'm paraphrasing this, Adam, So
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: I know I'm not getting exactly right, but as I
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: understand it, Michah Parsons was goofing on Matt Eberflus, who
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: made it seem like, well, if I only had Michael Parsons,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys defense would have been much better this year.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Blah blah blah, blah blah. And then Parsons came out
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: and says, you want me to feel bad, and then
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: he said Jerry Jones slandered his name to the Cowboys
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: media and national media for months, and then he went
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: on and said a bunch of other stuff. So now,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, I believe he confirmed this on one of
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: his radio shows that he does this week, this past week.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that Jerry confirmed this, and Jerry's excited.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys play their final game of the season today
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: and that means that tomorrow they become the top story again.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: That it's no longer about the games, It's about will
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Jerry keep Dak Prescott, Will Jerry fire this guy? Well,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: you keep the coaching staff and all that stuff. But
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: in terms of Michael Parsons, yeah, I mean that's how
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: all of this works. I learned this years ago with
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees. Whenever
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: they got rid of a popular player, they would always
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: conveniently leak stories trashing the player. And this goes back many,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: many many years and the Dallas Cowboys. All these teams
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: do the same playbook. You have a popular player, why
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: would you get rid of a popular player? The fan
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: base loved Micah Parsons. He loved playing video games and
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: doing cheesy podcasts with the fan base, and so like
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: you get rid of that guy. He's been productive, although
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: a stat bandito, as we have pointed out on the
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: radio show, if you're gonna get rid of a guy
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: like that, you have to I ans some stories to
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: make it look a little little shady, and so they
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: all do it. Everyone is doing it, Timothy from Boca.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: But I don't feel bad for Micah Parsons. He wanted
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: to get the bag. He got the bag. Now he's
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: got to live in northern Wisconsin. I hope he enjoys
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: visiting with my brother eating cheese curts. Timothy from Boca
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: writes in another sporty question, says, my Dolphins have hired
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Troy Aikman as a consultant to try to find their
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: new general manager, Ben and Danny. Should I trust Troy Aikman?
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: All right? So, Timothy, my response is this is one
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: of the great empty gigs of all time. I've worked
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: in radio and broadcasting my entire adult life, and every
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: once in a while I will get an email from
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: a consultant or I'll get dragged into a meeting with
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: a consultant. Now it doesn't happen very much anymore, so
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'm allowed to just unload. I want
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: to be a consultant. It is like the job that
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard had where he didn't have to do anything
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: and he's got paid a bunch of money to talk
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: about green stuff. It's a no show job. It's a
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: no show job. There's no price to pay. It's like
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: consultant comes in like treeatman comes ins. All right, I'm
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: gonna interview candidates. I would assume talk to people, recommend
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: people for the dolphin job, Timothy, and then he'll hire
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: the the boob. Some boob comes in there. I'll hire
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: that person and then it's like, okay, that's that's fine.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: And then the person sucks and Aikman's back on Monday
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Night football and there's no accountability. There's none of that's
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: I'd love to be a consultant. It would be great.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Sign me up for that. You'll pay me a lot
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: of money and I'll give you advice. I give advice anyway.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: I get paid, not tons of money, but I get
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: paid enough. I'll take a big check and I'll be
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: your consultant. What a gig that is. Mike from so
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Cal Right saying on the mail bag questions, thank you guys.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: If you want to send questions in for a future
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: edition of the mail Bag, you can do that real
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: fifth hour at gmail dot com. That's real fifth hour
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: at gmail dot com. And Mike says, Ben, I voted
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: for you as the national sportscaster there. I did a
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: write in ballot. Unfortunately, Sean McDonough won the award. How
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: come you never win these things? Well, congratulations to Sean
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: McDonough for winning the award. I saw him call the
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: which game was that? Old miss? And Georgia Georgia saw that. Well,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: the reason, Mike, is that I don't win these things
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: is I don't really think about them. I don't know
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: about them, and I'm not part of the cabal of
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: sports media. You have the haves and the have nots.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: You've got the cool kids and the non cool kids,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: and typically it's the same five to ten people that
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: win these awards. They just rotate it. They just rotate it,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: and that's how that goes. That's how that goes. So
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Kirby from Phoenix Rights and I was actually in Phoenix
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: I talked about that the other day on the podcast
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Kirby from Phoenix Rights and it says, Ben, have you
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: you have some let me do that over. Kirby says, Ben,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: you have said you have issues sleeping? Will you be
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: turning to micro dosing. So this is a term that
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: seems to be becoming very popular recently, micro dosing. This
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: is according to Kirby here says microdosing psychedelics improves the
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: quality of sleep. Small amounts of psychedelics could assist individuals
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: sleeping and creating a healthier lifestyle. Yeah, sure, sure, Kirby.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: I'll talk to my doctor Jed who fled. I'll get
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: him to send me some stuff or hollering James and
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: I'll be I'll be good to go on that. I
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: want to thank who else cash JJ from the Bay
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: And there's a few other emails we did not have
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: time to get to. However, I got things to do.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: I gotta watch football today and then be back in
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: the Magic Radio Box tonight for a little radio fun.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: We'll be here all week on the radio show eleven

• 33:34
  Speaker 1: the East. Four hours of live talk radio. The good,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: the Bad, the ugly this, that and the other thing.

  Speaker 1: We got you covered, a full retrospective on the NFL
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: regular season coming to an end, and we'll get you
• 33:49
