  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 sol 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.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.

  Speaker 1: In the air everywhere, The Fifth Hour with Me Ben Mallor,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and we have arrived at the Sunday mail Bag. Woo. Now,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: as you know, Danny G said bye bye. He was
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: decommissioned from the podcast by his choice, not was forced
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: out or anything like that. So Danny G left the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: podcast and we are in the transition stage, which is
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: very popularly these days, trying to figure out what we're
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: gonna do, and eventually there will likely be someone who
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: will do the podcast with me on a weekly basis.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: But in the meantime, we're gonna have some fun because
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: really the last like five months, Danny really hasn't been
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: very available for the podcast. So he's been occasionally on
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the mail Bag or something like that, but hasn't been around,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: so I pretty much done it by myself for the
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: last several months. I like having someone with me on
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the mail bag to go back and forth, and so
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I thought, who better. We need someone with muscle, We
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: need someone with power, We need someone that intimidates everyone
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: else in the Malord Militia. This is a guy that
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: does not mess around. So we have gone to the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: higher rank of the Malad Militia. A senior brigadier general,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: a man who is beloved, who is a great character
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: in the show. People love to goof on him and
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: he loves to he loves to punch back. Give it
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: up for Robbie the Mariner fan.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Wait, what's going on?
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Welcome Robbie. Unbelievable. Look at that the biggest name. We
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: got the biggest name. And you know how upset Justin
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and Cincinnati is going to be and Rob the goat
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: man and all the Yeah.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: I know, yeah, I don't know if I'm the biggest name.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: But you could throw in, you know size joke so.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Well, you are part of the offensive line.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I left tackle. I'd prefer to be left tackle
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: because they get paid the most.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. I've met some some of the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: boys in Minnesota and Kansas City. We got a pretty
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: good offensive line, Robbie. Yeah, we would the Mallard Militia.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: If we put a football team, and you would obviously
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: be a senior member, you'd be like a captain of
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the football team. We would have like the greatest offensive line.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: We got some big boys. And I love it. Man.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I'm a big guy myself, so I love that, so
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I'll stay it big.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Greg and I love that's right. Chat pretty frequently. And yeah,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: he's he would be a hog Mulley in the line too.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: We got you. We gotta have my buddy in Kansas
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: City who works at a gun factory.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Makes I remember him. That's the most masculine.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Isn't that great?
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: What do you do bullets? What do you do? Uh? Yeah?
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Hey, that's a job that you'll have for life, unless
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: unless say I replace it. Actually everything, I mean the
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: job security I'm making balls is pretty good.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. If you're working for a defense company, you're in shape.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: You know, you got big time money and all that.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: All right, So in order to do the mailbag properly, Robbie,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: we need Ohio out to get us in the mood.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So get us in the mood.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: It's all right, let's get right to it now.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: These are actual questions by actual listeners. And as always,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I'm very grateful when we started the podcast, I don't
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: even know how many years ago, I had to beg
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: people on Facebook and we called Twitter at the time.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: We need questions, we need questions. Oh my god, we
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: need questions. And it was a paid every week. I
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: have not had to do that in forever, and I'm
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: very grateful that the podcast is doing well and you
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: guys more importantly are sending in questions. So otherwise we
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: just get rid of the mail bag. It's been great,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: so we're gonna try to rapid fire wrap it fire
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: mail Bag. Robbie, if you want to send a question
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: in for a future edition of the mail Bag, or
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: if you want to suggest someone to be in what
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: is the Robbie chair this week for the mail Bag?
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Real fifth Hour
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: at gmail dot com. Before we get to the mailbag, though,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: is it true, Robbie that you will be making a
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: rare and appropriate celebrity appearance later this month in the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: state of Ohio. Is that correct?
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, that is correct. The tickets are booked. Excited. There's
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: a couple of people that told me they're going from
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: also from House State, but I don't want to out
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: them in case they plans to change. But I'm very excited.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm fired up to it. I have gotten
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: some emails from people. As I always say, with these things,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of times people will say they're going to
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: be there and then life happens and they can't.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I was one of those those people once I
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: was dead, said I'm going to the San Bernardino meet
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: up and then something came up. So yeah, I've tried.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: It happens, I got I'm excited, and I'm still in
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the planning stages. I know we're what are we twenty
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: days away or whatever from this thing, and I'm still
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: in the planning stages. I'm thinking it should be earlier
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: in the in the like the midday. I'm thinking because
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Dick work Dick and Dayton is you know, he's an
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: older guy and he doesn't listen to the podcast so
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: we can say what we want. But the Dixter, I
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: think he's in his early eighties. I know, Wow, his
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: birthday is coming up. He has the same birth is
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Pete Rose.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Which is yes, I know, that's so perfect.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: He calls me every year on his birthday.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: And that was always a great dick because the Reds
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: they fire their manager about as often as you watch clothes,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: you know, and so you'd always ask, I believe you'd
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: always ask him who should be the manager. Either you'd
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: lead him into Saint Pete Rose or he would just
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: throw out Pete Rose until he died.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, well that and the Browns.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Who should be Bernie? Uh yeah, I want Bernie.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: I can't wait to meet him. That's gonna be great.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm hoping he'll perform. You know, he's a noted
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: music he said, that's some bumps. When he's tried to
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: sing on the show, it's not. Yeah.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well but even if he did it perfectly, no
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: one will remember it though, So there's.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: That exactly exactly. So I'm thinking like maybe a like
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: a three hour thing, maybe like midway through, like the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: ninety minute Mark Dixter gets up there on stage. Yes,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: and then I don't know, I'll run this by you, Robbie.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I'm and I don't I'm gonna throw this out. There's
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: nothing guaranteed. This might not happen at all, but I
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: think the Reds are in town that yep.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: I was actually gonna DM you about that. I was like,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: you know, the Reds play that evening. I was like,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: I'm trying the Reds. It's the underrated stadium. It's not
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: like fancy, but the sight lines are good. I've been
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: the many Reds games, so yeah, I'm never.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Do a red game. So yeah, I was saying, maybe
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: we do it midday and we can go over to
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the Reds at night. It can't be that expensive.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: No, I don't. I don't think. No, you know, tickets
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: any more expensive and relative, but in terms of like
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: anywhere else now, I'm not really I don't think.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: So. Yeah, I think you also buy him on the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: secondary market.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Game. It is a Saturday, so who knows. I think
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: who they playing.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Tigers are not bad. No, they have you know me.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: I like my prospects. So yeah, that McGonagall guy will
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: be interesting watch.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see, all right. Reggie from Detroit is
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: in the leadoff chair. He says, man, I was looking
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: for the fifth hour podcast sidekick job opening on the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: iHeart side. I could not find it. And then he says,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: he says, how much does it pay? What are the benefits?
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Does it have a four oh one k? Every funny, Reggie,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: very funny, You get amazing banter. You get paid literally peanuts,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: unsalted peanuts, Robbie, unsalted peanuts. And no, there's no job posting.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: It's I thought about looking just to see it because
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: but I was like, I doubt it.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: No, No, it's just a part time it's a part
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: time thing, and it's really a labor of love. Even
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: even a mayan. I get paid a little more, but
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: it's still a labor. If we listen, we would not
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: be on our third podcast Sidekick. If it paid, well,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: that's very good. People would not be leaving to go
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: work in an elementary school or whatever if that was.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: But thank you for your concern, Reggie. I appreciate that.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: And if you want anybody who you know, Robbie's obviously
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: here this week, but if you're if you're somebody we
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: know and you're a big support of the show and
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: all that. Uh, And I realized, Robbie, I just realized,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: you know, we have the power. Through the way we
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: record this, we could actually have like multiple guys on
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: you know, fans of the show on the mailbag.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: We can do like oh yeah, yeah, I've been on
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: like a group chat with a bunch of mona which
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: people once we did for Christmas one year, so that yeah. No,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: you can have a bunch of people on Zoom.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so we could totally do that, but thank you, Reggie.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Next up is this dude, this guy, this guy, this
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: guy did not sign his name. He says, Benny, I
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: know you've used to collect stuff. Is this a scam
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: or worth it? And then he sent me a link
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: here Robbie from Panini revealing the biggest FIFA World Cup
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: sticker album ever. Oh it says it could cost over
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: two thousand dollars to complete. I'm out, Robbie. You you
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: can do this, Robbie, I'm out. I'm not doing so.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: During the pandemic, I got in the cards and I
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: still kind of have that itch. But soccer isn't my thing.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: But I do know I forget which I read way
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: too many books, and I forget which when I read
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: those sticker books to the World Cup are actually internationally speaking,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: super super popular. So I bet you didn't make a
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: ton of money on that, But no, I'm I don't
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: know how people spend as much as they do on
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: those things.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole thing for me, and I'm obviously older
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: than you, but when I was a kid, it was like, hey,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: you you can spend a little bit on a pack
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: of cards and then you could like win the lottery.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: You know. Yeah, Now it's you have to spend a
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: lot just to win the lottery. It's there's no like,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: uh racks the richest story in the cards game, the
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: card game really anymore.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's it's the thing that drives me nuts. And
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I run into Mike Harmen every night. It's weird spend that.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Harmon's a huge collector, like a memorabilia stuff, and I've
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: got tons and tons of stuff, which is all like,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: you know, forty years old at this point. Pretty much.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: It's like sitting in my you know, secret location to
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the Mala Mansion, and I was like, well, maybe I'll
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: sell some of it, you know, I don't really look
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: at it, just kind of sitting there. And I had
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: some really good stuff when I was doing stuff with
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers. I got like autographed stuff, I got team equipment,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I got a lot of cool you know, cool crap.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: But Harmon is like, well, you got to get it.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: You gotta spend money to get it graded.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I don't know that I want to do
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: that because in the one thing, if they took a fee,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: but what they do is they the fee is sliding
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: based on how much they think you'll sell the card.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: It's such a racket. It's not like, okay, well grade
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: every one of your cards twenty five dollars a pop.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: It's like, well, if this card sells for over one K,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: then we're going to charge you more than if it's
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: sold for under one K. And it's yeah no.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I was like blown away. Wait, so I I want
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: to sell this stuff and I gotta hold I So
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I have to pay money just to okay.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just to potentially make money, and you don't know
• 11:54

  Speaker 1: Wizards April Fools prank. Why not. I did see it,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: and I'm amazed that a number of people And I
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: don't know how much of this is real. You know
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: how I feel about the Internet, Robbie.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Yes, the matrix matrix and I used to think that
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: was a boomer take. I'm completely with you on that.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: It's I bet you, like eighty percent of X is
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: either box or people that are pushing an artificial agenda.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like, I've you know, I have heard this to say,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I've heard some things from people that work in the
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: business that some of the manipulation and that's just in
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: like the media world. I can only yeah, politically and
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: it's got to be insane. But anyway, Yeah, I did
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: see the story, Hank. I've I've been around those bits.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: I've seen. I used to go cover the NBA all
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the time, and I saw them practicing those skits before
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: the game, like they'd go over it and so the like,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine people people think, well, I can't believe
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: this guy got suckered into you know, forty one, ten
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars. If you missed it, the Wizards on April Fools,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: they did a prank you know, take a half court shot.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: If you make it blindfolded, you'll win ten thousand. The
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: guy missed it. They said he won it easy and all.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: That was just a joke. But it's no different. Like
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I loved magic when I was a kid. I lived
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: near Disneyland growing up. We used to go to the
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I'd go to Disneyland and my mom would get so
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: upset because I didn't want to necessarily go on any rides.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: The first place I wanted to go is the magic shop.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I loved the magic job, and I've always loved magic.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: And then maybe fifteen years ago, so I was in
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Vegas at a magic show. We're sitting off to the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: right side, me and the wife. We're sitting off to
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: the right side and right near the emergency exit. And
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: midway through the show, the guy's on stage, the magician's performing,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: and somebody comes in out of emergency exit, oh no,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and sits in front of us. There were a couple
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: of open seats, sits in front of us. About five
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: minutes later, Robbie says, I need someone to come up
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: on stage. Randomly. Just happened to pull that guy who
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: just walked in five minutes earlier onto the stage to
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: do the trick. The guy went back, he sat down
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: in front of us, and then five minutes later, Robbie,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: what do you think the guy did? He walked out, Robbie,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: he out, he left. He was part of the gig.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: He was, he was in on the ruse. That's how
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: that went.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: I've heard that. Yeah, it s all that and then
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: angles like Dennis Miller was saying one time. I heard
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: him say something like he was at a pent sellar
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: and he let him backstage and it ruined it for
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: him because it's just all angles, like so I don't know.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I didn't know. No, it is, it's and
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I've read some books on this, and essentially what it
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: is is there are blind spots that we all have.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Things like there's it's very odd to think about this,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Like you think of all the great magicians in Houdini
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know Penn and tell I love a
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: huge pen and teller Fan and all that, like they're
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: like right in front of you, off it. You will
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: not even notice something right in front of you. It's
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: very odd. Uh. And the secret to magic is you
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: get your attention isn't focused on something you don't notice it. Essentially,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: that's I believe that's the it's it's a misdirection thing.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: So when your attention isn't focused on something, you don't
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: necessarily notice it. So your your eyes still receive all
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the visual input, but your brain does not process it.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: And that's really what magic. Magic is. But if you
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: can do it, like the close up magic these guys
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: do is amazing, Like yeah, it's you know, I know
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: it's a magic trick and all that. The up close
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: card tricks are just great.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: So to go off of the tangent, but how do
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: you feel about those like the Owes, the mentalists? Do
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: you consider that magic.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Or what's Yes, it's not really my uh uh he he.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: He was everywhere for like six months, like from every
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: show and everything. I haven't seen him, but yeah.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, did you see oh man. There was a great documentary,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: The Amazing Randy. It went a little off the ledge
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: in the middle of it, but I heard about it
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: is it's a pretty good documentary. I if you're into
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: magic and his whole thing. He was a magician who
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: spent his life trying to expose because he knew magicians
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: were con artists and there was this guy that used
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: to bend spoons way back in the day, and he
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: would go on late night TV when that was popular,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: and the amazing Randy was like, Hey, I'm gonna expose
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: this guy. It was, it was, it was interesting, then
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: went a little off the off the ledge in the
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: middle of it. Let's see out back John and Joanna
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: in SoCal right, and he says, this email is a
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: thank you to Danny g Radio. He entertained us so
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: much when he was on the show and for the
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: last year or so when we discovered the Fifth Hour podcast.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Understand that he has other things in his life that
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: he needs to tend to, but please tell him if
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: you can that outpack. John and Joanna loved appreciated his work.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Joanna loves ranch where I do not. Oh my god,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Oh Robbie, what's your position on ranch dressing? Robbie?
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: My position is I loved when you had to try
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: it because that do you remember why you had to
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: try ranch in studio on pariscope that one time? No?
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: What was what? I must have lost the bet? What
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: did Yeah?
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: You lost the bet with me? It was you were
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: convinced Kyler Murray wouldn't be a first round pick. Yes,
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: and this is like I want to see the season
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: was still going. It wasn't even both seasons, like, not
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: only will he the first first round pick, will be
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: the first overall pick. And it was a fat styles bet,
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: but the if I won, or you know, if Kyler
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: went first, you had to try the ranch. And yeah,
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: that was and that's when I finally realized. Is much
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: as GM say, oh, we don't look at media mock
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: drafts or we don't pay attention to what the media says,
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: the media completely brainwashes these gms who are idiots, and
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: they'll just fall for the Cinderella storyline and then draft
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: a guy who's like five seven and looks like a
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: video games first overall pick.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I would like to point out Rubbie that that take
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: that has aged well. I was right about Kyler.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: No, you were, you were? You were?
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: He's no good. I the moment I was convinced that
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: this guy is not cut out for the NFL. He
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: did an interview with Dan Patrick.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know why I remember that.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: He's like it was very awkward, like his dad. He
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: like checked his dad to talk. It was very easy.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I have when interviews go sideways I get, like,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: really that secondary embarrassment, and that was one of those
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: ones where I kept like muting and like, no, I
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: gotta hear what's gonna happen in the muting, No, I
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: gotta hear what's going to happen because it was so awkward.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, a lot of these guys and sports will
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: tell you it's a TV show, it's entertainment, and so
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I want the storyline. It's a good story. People get
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: excited about the story and as you figure it out.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that the Vikings GM, according to
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: what I read, was just picking players based on Pro
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Football Focus, which is outstanding.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean you have the Jets owner's son allegedly
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: picking him off Madden scores, So I guess that's a
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: step up.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: What a world? What a world?
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, heyway, Thanks to Outback John and Joanna and you guys.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I might have to get out to now.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Outback John. He runs like an outback, so I might
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: have to go out there and hit him up for
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: a blooming onion. I might have got there.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Take Anthony Le and Louisiana with.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: You, haillain all right, Joe from Magnolia Texas Rights into
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour podcast. He says, I was listening to
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the podcast of your show a few weeks ago. You
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: talked about the throwback broadcast of the NBA. Yeah, I
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: love that. You know, old guy TV old broadcast. It
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: was great. Jim Gray was on there. We just talked
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: to Jim at the Super Bowl. That was Anyway, says
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: it got me thinking, Joe says about something I've wondered
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: about for years. I think I can lay claim to
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: the invention of throwback uniforms. Once upon a time. Check
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: this out, Robbie, once upon a time back in the eighties.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I just loved the fact, he said once upon a time,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: because that's how all great stories start, once upon a time,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: long and long ago.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Exactly so.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Back in the eighties, he said, I was an equipment
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: manager for Eddie Garcia's old stopping grounds at Fresno State.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Look at that wow. In the nineteen eighty six eighty
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: seven season, Ron Adams took over as the head coach.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: It did not go very well during the first his
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: first season in eighty six, after losing many many games,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I asked him if he wanted to use the uniforms
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: they wore when they won the NIT Championship several years
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: prior that I had recently found stuffed in a cabinet.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Since there was nothing to lose, he went along with
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: it and they did win that game. Joe justays, this
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: got the rather wild eyed attention of your old buddy
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Vic the Brick. Jacob was the sports guy at KMPH
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Channel twenty six at Fresno at the time. Vic went
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: absolutely nuts about it, and he often did about almost anything. Anyway.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: My question is do you know of any previous use
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: of throwback uniforms? If not, do I have a legitimate
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: claim to the invention or should and should I seek
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: royelties Yes, Joe, hire a billboard lawyer, yes, and demand money.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: It's twenty twenty six. That's a great story, and it
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: really the thing I love about that story, Robbie, is
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: that is the I'm trying to think of the word here.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: That is the epitome of what it used to be like,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: where it was just like a everything was mom and pop.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I remember when I was a kid, the umpires sometimes
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: their uniforms wouldn't show up to the stadium because they
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: traveled obviously separately. They didn't travel with teams and so
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: they'd go out to like Big five s Boarding Goods
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: or something and buy buy shirts to wear for the
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: game or whatever. Or you know. I just love stories
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: like that, So why not and you can do it.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: You imagine today if a team will pick your sport.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Baseball, your Mariners, Robbie. Let's say the
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Mariners just randomly decided, all right, we're not gonna have
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: We're just gonna go buy some old nineteen eighty seven
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Mariner uniforms with the stripes down the side, and we're
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: just gonna wear those, and we're gonna buy them from
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: some gift shop. Like Major League Baseball marketing would lose
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: their mind, right, you can't do that. We have to
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: promote it, we have to, like okay, So it's just
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: it's obviously a different world. I love that.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Gotta do the manufactured leak and then the actual official
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: uniform reveal with the smoke and everything else.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta leak it on Reddit and then see
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: if it's good or not, and then it's probably too late.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: At that point, you still have to go with it.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: And yeah, that's I'll have Next time I talked to
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Vic the brick I'll have to run that by vix
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: se if he remembers that, Thank you, Joe. How about
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Joe in Magnolia, Texas? Is that where that there's some
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: show on HGTV. I think that it's filmed in Magnolia, Texas.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I believe anyway, it's Middle aged Life. Robbie. You'll be there,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: sa Ryan writes in he says, Hey, Ben, this is
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Ryan from Wooster. He says, I'm said said here about
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Danny g Leaving. However, I'm excited to see what the
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: future holds for the pod. My question this week, I
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: know you're a big fan of words. So are you
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: a wordle guy or are you into something else? I
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: have been doing wordle much more recently and was wondering
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: what your thoughts or what fun word games do you play? Yeah,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: so the only thing I'm really into I I futched
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: around with wordle and it really you know, it was fine.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I didn't hate it, it just did not become part
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: of my routine. And so I'm a big scrabble guy.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: I love scrabble. I've gotten pretty good at it. And
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: so that's and I used the scrabble app. Let's see
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: if I canna find it. It's called scrabble Go and
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I did this a while back and there were a
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: few guys that fans of the show that I would
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: play against unscramble and then I killed them so much
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: they quit so they couldn't handle it. I embarrassed them.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: But if you want to play, I am on there
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Scrabble Go. And I'm not getting paid to promote this.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: It's just my own michig. So you check it out.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: And my name is is Benny on there, so check
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: that out. And I have a Dodger cap on. So
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: if you want to play anyway, I look forward to
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: seeing you, Ryan says on the ninth, May ninth in Worcester. Yeah,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be at a WU Socks game, Robbie.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: Take lots of pictures. I want to see what that
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: looks like.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely will have a good time. And the
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: rumor is I am I may be throwing out the
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: first pitch at the.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: That that is a bucket list side of my doubt
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: we'll ever come true, but yeah, that would be.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: You're Robbie the Mariner fan. The man should have you. You
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: know you you supported them when they sucked, Robbie.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, did my uh my first ever tweet to your
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: show is when you and were you were still on
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: weekends and Sager was in with you, and I said,
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: the Mariners will win or will make the World Series
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: or make the playoffs within two years. And it took
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: roughly six years after that. And I remember just Tager
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: just bursting out laughing, and you started laughing too, and
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh that. Yeah.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Well, when I when I met you the first time,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Robbie in Seattle and I walked around downtown Seattle, was
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: by the the Mariners team shop. Yep.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: I remember I saw that that tweet came across, Like I.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Thought, this is the most depressing thing. Yes, but now
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: that you bore now they're good, See Robbie.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Let's hope it wasn't a one hit
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: wonder that scared me.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see. It's early in the season, you know.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, wait, forty games. I was the
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: baseball people, Yeah, wait forty games to figure out what
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: you have.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: You know, I always hated that. That's what's the one
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: thing I don't like about the Daughters is the way
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: they didn't take the regular season seriously at all. Now,
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: people are just gonna be like, oh, it's early. All
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: we have is today.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: You got it exactly? I can't. It tries me bonkers.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: That mindset is just ridiculous anyway.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: It's what's ruined the NBA.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: But sorry, you're absolutely right. I just saw the other day.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: I saw a stat percentage of star players that have
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: played in national televised games, and I think the number
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I read was like in the thirty percent. Oh my goodness,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: seventy percent of the stars seventy percent of the time
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the stars don't play Wow. JT. The Wingman from Let's
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: see here Severeville? Am I saying that? Right? He's gonna
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: keep correcting me here he's in near Knoxville.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: Oh. JT.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: The wing Ma, says Ben. Since the weather has really
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: improved in my neck of the woods, I have noticed
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of people have been out and about on bicycles.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: This has given me the itge to possibly buy one
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: for myself. They are really good for exercise and pretty
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: fun to write as well. I have a two part
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: question for you. When did you last ride a bicycle?
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: And do you still own a bicycle? Uh? Yeah, so
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: I probably about boy ten years ago. Maybe with the
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: kid and the wife. We went out and we were like, oh,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: we're gonna ride bicycles. That lasted about two weeks and
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: that was it and we gave that up. I still
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: have a bicycle if you can find it buried a
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: bunch of other bunch of other stuff. Now, Robbie, I
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: would think if you can get those electric bikes, I've
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: seen low rider electric bikes, have low rider electric bikes.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: How crazy is that?
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my answer is about ten years too.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: People always well I shouldn't say that, they shouldn't be surprised,
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: but yeah, I do know how to ride a bike,
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: and uh, yeah, it's been about ten years and I
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: think I still the framed tires probably all messed up.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: It's buried under stuff.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: So all right. Well the other thing too, about that
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: when you're a big guy like we are, Robbie, Yeah,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: it just had the basic bicycle seat. You have to
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: get to me, you have to get the wider seat.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Otherwise it's it's just a wedgie the whole time.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's like a torture device, like enhanced interrogation. Yes, exactly, exactly.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: So there are larger seats that you can get to
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: accommodate yes, a person of our size and my God anyway.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Kwang from Ho Chim in Vietnam rights in on the MIDI.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: He says, guaranteed human. He says the idea of introversion
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: and extroversion first came from a Swiss Swiss psychiatrist, Carl g.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Jung in the early nineteen hundreds. He believes some people
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: were energized by the external world extroverts, and other people
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: were energized by the internal world introverts. An extrovert is
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: someone who draws energy from being around people. They like
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: to be out and about, attending social events and engaging willers.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: An extrovert may be called a people person. An introvert
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: is someone who draws energy from a quick reflection. They're
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: happy spending time alone with one or two people they
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: feel close to often blah blah blah blah blah. Then
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: he says amberverts are in the middle. They may lean
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: towards extroverted or introvert behavior depending on the situation. So
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Quang says, with all that said, my question, are you
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: and m pervert? Ben? Yeah? I don't. I don't think
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I would rather be around one or two people. I'm
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: more comfortable in that environment everyone. So I think the
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: meet and Greece, I'm okay with that because it's it's
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: rare and appropriate. So Robbie rare and appropriate, I'm okay
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: with that. Yeah, and it's bouncing around it's I don't
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: I don't mind those. But if I did that every
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: every week, I would lose my mind.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've never I'm saying with you, I've never understood
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: the people that like actually want to host parties stuff.

  Speaker 1: H Yeah, well there you go. Uh. I can bring
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: back you know, I could rotate like I get listeners.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: I could bring back some old people that used to
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: work on the show. Like there's a lot of there's
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of wiggle room here. There's a lot of
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: wiggle room. Although I think the people I used to
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: work with robbyr gonna the man money, which is a problem.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no.
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: Budget, so that's the problem, or they would still be
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: working with you, you know exactly.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Alf from the Big Board Rights and says Benjamin, as
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: a purveyor of such sanctioned nicknames like Benny Bingo and
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Benny beat Down, can I get a rubber stamp on
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: the nickname Benny Brackets. Well, let's wait until. Let's wait
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: till after the game on Monday night, before we go
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Benny Brackett. Now, if this does turn out, well, absolutely,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: alf Benny brackets will be added. Benny Brackets will be added.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: So it's very, very exciting. What else do we have?
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: A Frank from Jersey rights in? He says, ben is
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: there an end to the madness? And he says, there's
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: a gas station in California. You're in Jersey. What do
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: you care about that? Frank? He says, A big sir
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: that is charging nearly ten dollars per gallon premium gas
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: costs nine at a place called It's Gorda Buy the Sea.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I've been to, big Sir. I don't remember Gorda by
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: the Sea. I must not stay in my memory, he says.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: The only reason it's nine ninety nine, it would be higher.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: But check this out right, the pumps only go up
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: tone digit old pumps only up to nine ninety nine.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: That is just from what I understand that Big Sir
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: is very remote. It's you get to it. There's not
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: a lot around there. So if you're the only gas station,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: you can charge whatever you want. You can charge whatever
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: the bleepity bleep, and so that's the way that is.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I I paid where was I somewhere out
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: in the desert on the way back from Vegas And
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: it was like close to seven dollars and wow, god,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: oh this is I usually just go to Costco and
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: it's not that bad compared to everything else. A Shane
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: from Dallas writes in says, Ben, I know you often
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: say you like to spend ninety minutes at parties because
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: that's what shows and movies are. Are you going to
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: have to adjust based on the story that came out
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: this week? And then he sent me a story here, Robbie,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: They said that feature films, all right, it's not your imagination.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Movies are longer. The runtime of average major release films
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: has ballooned. I know in recent years they say that
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Marvel movies are the main culprit here. So they came
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: back in the nineties and the early two thousands, films
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: were about one hundred and fourteen minutes. Oh no, they
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: were one hundred six menutxcuse me a hundred and six minutes,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: So that's yeah, that's what I say. Usually ninety minutes,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: so you can see the nineties, so it was a
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: little longer than that, but ninety minutes, and then one
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: hundred and six minutes, and then early two thousands one
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen minutes, and now they've added even more time,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: and they say that they've also expanded the trailers, the advertising,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: the movie theaters expanded to an average around twenty to
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: thirty minutes. So that's do the math on. That's that's
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: two and a half hours plus. Man.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: It was when movies that were pure action flicks, you know,
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: the ones that you could always like, oh, it's only
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: like a little over an hour, it'll be good time,
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: it'll be trashed, but it won't be too long. When
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: those started pushing two hours and forty five minutes, that
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: was when I was like, it's something going on here,
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: Like are they intentionally trying to bloat all these movies?
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's great, and I missed the days
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: where they had original movies.
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah that's a boomer take right right, Yeah, I know
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: but like they're remaking movies for the third or fourth time.
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: It's crazy because they don't want to take any risk,
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: you know, you have to, you don't want to put
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: their neck out there the studios, and plus they have
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: to appeal to a global audience. So if they make
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: like some of those those movies they made in the
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: in the seventies and the eighties, they could never make.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Today because people would lose their freaking mind to be like,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: oh my god, Ted from the Bay Area, we're going
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: a long Robbie. Look at they're having so much fun. Robbie, Yeah,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: that's great, all right, Ted for the Bayer, he says, Ben,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss Danny g However, I tune in for
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: your nonsense. Uh so I'm still here. Well, thank you, Ted, Uh,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: he says the tiger talk says Tiger Woods was Uh.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: I was obviously in trouble. He's going to rehab on
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: all this stuff. And then he he says, what do
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: you think of the story going around? This is I
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: guess a psychologist whom that now And Tiger Woods is
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: the symbol of this He's called the public symbol of
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: a broader American habit using explanation to delay accountability. Uh
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: is the way it's described, and there's some psychobabble jargon
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: and all this stuff, and so essentially to give you
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: the thumbnail version of this that when something bad happens
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: to a celebrity, the setback itself matters less than the
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: promise of it's going to be better. I'm gonna bounce
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: back from this. They like they have a permission slip.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: When I was a kid, we'd say that was a
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: bad decision, moron. Now it's well, he's going through some
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: tough times. It's a struggle.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I already saw I somehow got signed up for
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: like an athletic newsletter list and I'm trying to unsubscribe
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: to all those things. But anyway, it was, it was
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: they're already pivoting to like, well, what you did was bad,
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: But think of the redemption arch he's going to have
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: and how much he can teach younger people to you know,
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: not do what he's done for like time after time
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: after time. And it's disappointing because I was a huge
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: Tiger fan as a little kid. Back I remember I
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: was like one of my first fourth memories watching him
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: just destroy everyone winning by like eighteen strokes or something
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: at one of the majors.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: And yeah, it was a master's It was like Secretariat
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: of Golf.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, exactly that.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was insane, but yeah, that's you know, things change.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: I get it. It's uh, it's from this podcast and
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: from the radio show. There was one of our listeners
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: in Colorado. She works for the weather operation there in
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: Colorado and pointed out that a few years ago they
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: changed all the terms for storms. Oh yeah, people were
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: numb to them. So they made for social media. The
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: weather people made word. They made new phrases that caused
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: people to react. You know, they panicked.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: They Oh my god, yeah, just throw the word atmospheric here,
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: bomb there, you know, atmospheric river bomb, cyclone.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Bomb, oh, the bomb, the bomb dot com We still
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: we called that the jet stream back in the day,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Robert exactly. But that's not cool anymore. So you got
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: to change it up. And that's it. I'll do a
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: couple more here. I'm having a good time. Uh it's
• 38:37

• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, I know you can do it, man. Let me
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: tell you. It's the way to do it. I've been
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: fussing around with that, and you master it. The main
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: reason I've started cooking so much is because food's so expensive.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.

• 40:55
  Speaker 1: three cups of coffee on their ten day so and
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: they don't have refrigeration. I guess they don't have a
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: lot of options to the capabilities to keep the food
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: fresh and so every meal, you know, they the whole
• 41:12

• 41:30
  Speaker 1: Don't they have to pee into a tube or something
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: like that?
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: I heard there was a momentary panic that the the
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: toilet system wasn't working once they got to space. There
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: was actual concern they weren't have to like turn around
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: or however you want to phrase that, until they fixed.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: But they fixed the issue.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: So yeah, just call Roto Ruter and they'll be Craig

  Speaker 1: from cansa city home of the Ben mal or chicken figures. Robert,
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: you got to get the Kansas city.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: That is actually probably on my most wanted list of
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: cities in the US. It's probably like number three because
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: there's a military history museum there too. In the Negro
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: League Museum.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, and you gotta get the Royals
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: probably will be moving to a new stadium at some point. Yeah.
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: I've actually been to a Royals man, but it was
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: like I was five years old.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: It doesn't count. But Kansas City School great food. You
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: get the Mallard chicken fingers that you gotta have, the
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: z Man sandwich, my favorite barbecue sandwich, and lined up
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: at it used to be called Oklahoma Joe's, called Kansas
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: City Joe's. They have a World War One memorial in
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: downtown Kansas City.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: M hmm.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: If you're in the military history, I know your family's
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: a military family, so it's pretty cool. Uh yeah, it's not.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: A military family, just military. I guess straight. I don't
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: want to stolen. I don't want any stolen anything.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: You got a bunch of books there. I thought, I
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: don't know whatever you're.
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Well he does. Yeah, anyway, go.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: On, all right, anyway, Craig says, Ben, wasn't this a
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: horror movie when we were kids in the nineteen eighties,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: And he then he's got this biotech startup, wants to
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: grow headless human bodies scientific testing and organ farming.
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: So yeah that I mean, like ten years ago there
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: was a story of they made zombie ants at Oregon
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: State University, which is near me. And I always feel
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: like we're pushed. I mean, didn't we learn our lessons
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: with the coronavirus, you know, like maybe we don't need
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: to test on everything.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, uh yeah. I have a feeling Robbie that
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: this stuff's already going on in China and other places that.
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: Oh, I have no doubt that they they probably do
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: testing on the prison you know, the political prisoners in China. Yeah,
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: I don't. I've seen some articles that are pretty depressing
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: about what well they can do there.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Like a lot of the technology that comes out,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: I think that has been around for years and it's
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: just released to the public after many, many years. That's
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: just my mind.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: No, I hear you, Like, once it becomes platable to
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: the general society, stuff like yeah.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: Like the I'll give you example, there was that stealth bomber,
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: which is not I guess it's old now, but they
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: the people would see it every once while flying in
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: the desert out in Mexico or Nevada, and the government's like, oh,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: there's nothing here, and then eventually they announced it and oh, yeah,
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: we have we have this, you.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: Know, yeah, they did that with I believe Elon must
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: named those kids after the s R. Seventy one Stealth,
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: one of the stealth planes. So yeah, yeah, I got you.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: I always confirm it.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: Just later our last one, Robbie, last one, George from
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: El Paso. There's a great is it salso no, there's
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: a seasoning on El Paso seasoning Taco season anyway, Uh, George,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: hey say it says Ben, is this proof that we
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: have had interaction with aliens? And this comes from former
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: Congressman Matt Gates, Oh boy, who claimed that the government
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: briefed him top secret alien human hybrid program. Uh. And
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: this guy was he was supposed to Gates, you know,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: you know he's Robby. Yes, yeah, he's on the spectrum.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: But he was gonna be like Trump wanted to be
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: the attorney general.
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: Suppose he was very close to There is multiple universes
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: where he became the attorney general. Yeah.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: He says that he was informed by a member of
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: the United States military that the government was developing alien
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: human hybrids. The purpose of the program was to allow
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: officials to interact with extraterrestial beings. So that also sounds
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: like a movie.
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like body snatches or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: do agree with your take that if there are extra thresholds,
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: it's not that they're coming from space. It's most likely
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: that they're coming from the deep parts to see like
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: the Mariana Trench. I know I'm butchering the first sword
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: on that, but it's so much the ocean has never
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: been explored because you just can't sit anything down there.
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: It'll collapse under the pressure.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: So yeah, no, I think there's some wild stuff. You
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: look at those oceans. You've ever flown over the ocean, Robbie,
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: it's pretty wild, man, It's a whole they think of
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: all those things in the ocean. They have no idea.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: We're here, right, We're yeah for them? What are we?
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: All right? It's been fun. Thank you so much, Robbie.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you. Have anything you want to promote, Robbie,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: anything at all, anything you want to promote here.

  Speaker 1: I remember Ozzie Guy.
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: I remember, Yeah, he senses regards. He actually wants to
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: I'll talk you off there about it. But the United
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: States of Australia. We just kind of shoot the breeze
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: Sundays and we're going to be doing more stuff, hopefully
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: like comedy news stuff. But yeah, we do that every
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: Sunday at nine thirty am Eastern on YouTube.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: On YouTube, and you gotta sell it. It's the greatest
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: hybrid show between Australia and the United States. There's no
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: show that's it's you know what it is, Robbie. It's
