• 2:41
  Speaker 1: These are actual letters by actual listeners, and you can
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: send a message in. It will not make this edition
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: of the mail bag because we're doing the mail bag
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: and it's a podcast, so you have to send it
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: in in advance. You can send it whenever. Just put
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: put mail bag in the headline. It's Real fifth Hour
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: at GMA, Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. We
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: have had a great variety the last seven to eight
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: by more than that, I'd say seven or eight months,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: but it has really been over a year. We have
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of people that will we have our regulars,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and we have people that just occasionally will send emails.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: So it's been great. I remember when we started the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: podcast many years ago, we had to pathetically beg people
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: to send questions in. Fortunately, we've got a big enough
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: audience we don't have to do that. So enough of
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: that again, Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com, Real
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: fifth Hour at gmail dot com. First up is Freddie
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: from Chicago, who writes and he says, hey, Benny. He
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: didn't know you were here, Mike, so he didn't say
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: your name, Mike the Leperta, and he said, Hey, Benny,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: this is Freddie from Chicago. I called your show in
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: two thousand and three, and I want you to know
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: it's the only call I've ever made to a radio show.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I just rediscovered your show recently and I was impressed
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to hear you're still at Fox. Have they given you
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: a gold watch? And what happened? Doc Mike? Yeah, no, No,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: they almost fired me when Mike the Leprechaun showed up
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: twelve hours early. That almost happened. Uh No, there's no
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: goal watch. I don't even think they know I work
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: at the company, and technically I wouldn't be eligible for
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: a goal watch because I was whacked by the company.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I was decommissioned in nine, seventeen years ago. I had
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: worked at the company nine years prior to that, so
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I've been at the company for twenty six years. At
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. However, they did get rid of me
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: in nine and Doc Mike doesn't really call the show
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: much anymore, Freddy, he's semi retired from calling. Every once
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: in a while, Doc will show up and call I
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: did invite him to Cincinnati. He said he was going
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to try to make it. He could not make it.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: So I have not seen Doc in sometime. But he's
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: still alive as far as I know, and he's still
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: doing his thing. And then he says, also, Freddy says, also,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: don't you work on Ventor Boulevard? And I do? And
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: then he points out that Ventur Boulevard, which is you
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: You've been there, Mike the Leprechaun, right, you were there
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: when you've.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Been lovely, lovely hot summer day, lovely, lovely weather.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: It says. Ventura Boulevard in the San Fernando Valley rank
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: number one in a new survey of US roads most
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: associated with low level hostile driving behaviors, including tailgating, blocking, merges,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: break checking, and excessive honking. So, according to Yes to this,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: this is the top the top street for a holes.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I thought this would be in like Boston or something
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Oh jeez, it's then. There was a big piloup yesterday
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: at Los Angeles on the West Ever, the highway is
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: four h five. Did you see the two chases?
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: There? Accidents every day, it's it's the ad it's wild.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: It's like the Autobahn around this speed.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: This is a speed chase, a cop chase, a cop
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: chasing after two guys.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I didn't see that. I have seen so many wild
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: things driving at night. I will tell you, though, Mike
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: de Leprechaun and you Freddy, that the thing about Ventura Boulevard,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: there's two different Ventura Boulevards. There's the daytime Ventura Boulevard,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: which is everything that was described in this story, which
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: includes tailgating, people not allowing you to merge, break checking,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of honking, a lot of middle fingers, all
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: that stuff. So that's the daytime, passive, aggressive Vctura Boulevard.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: At night, it's a whole different world because you've got
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: these goblins that come out at night. You also have
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: up in bell Air, which is right above at least
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: our part of Ventura Boulevard where our studios are in
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Sherman Oaks, and up the hill is bell Air where
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: all the rich people live, and at night they come
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: down with all these exotic cars and it's like speed racer.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: They're zooming around the different you know, down Vinceur Bovart
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and all the side streets there and so you're risking
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: your life whether you go during the day for at night.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: But Freddy, I'm happy that you found the show again.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: That's a long time, twenty three years. That's that's a
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: whole generation. That's a kid being born and then getting out,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: going to college, and possibly getting out of college.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: So then, does does Freddy know that the Chicago Bears
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: are moving to Illinois? Oh no, they're not, Freddy, does
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Doc Mike. He's from Chicago, right.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Mister Chicago, Well, they're moving to Indiana. They're in Illinois
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: right now. They're moving to India.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Oh yea, yeah, sorry, you're right, they're moving right across
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: the border. Now Mike Town is framing him, not Farmington
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: like you described it. But it's the same thing. Downtown daytime,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: all the rich Brazilians drive around, especially in the summer weather,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: with these loud, loud cars, trying to avoid homeless people,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: and if you missed the green light by half a second,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: your boom you have blownouts. And God forbid if they
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: ever let you merge.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: As far as the Bears, it sucks the Bears are
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: leaving downtown Chicago. Not that downtown Chicago's great. There are
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: some really bad parts, although most of the problems in
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Chicago are on the South Side. I have family. I'm
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: upset because Mike the Leprechaun. My cousins live right near
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: There was a race track where they were going to
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: build the stadium for the Bears in suburban Chicago, and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: my cousin's husband is a big Bears fan and he
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: was very excited about the idea the Bears would be
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: playing in their backyard. Instead, they moved across just just
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: across state lines there in Indiana. But it's the same.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: It's people are making a big deal about it. It's
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: kind of like, well, the Patriots playing Foxboro. They don't
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: play in Boston, and I know they're called the Boston
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Patriots anymore, but they playing in Foxboro, which is a
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: bit of a drive, right. It's traffic, and it's out
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: in the state.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: And it's about an hour it could be depending on
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: traffic and hour. But the thing about but the Bears
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: is they're the only franchise in the NFL that's not
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: owned by a big group. They didn't own their own
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: stadium basically, so it was always unleased. This is a
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Soldier field, correct, Yeah, so they were shopping it out
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: and they got a much better offer, a much better
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: stadium orobously, but the thing about Soldier, I have a
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: cousin who lives in Chicago. I love their In fact,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: my cousin is Pope Leo. But that's okay, that's beside
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: the point.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Can you get the Pope on?
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Can you maybe next time?
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: All right, let's see cinnamon Roll. Gary from Pittsburgh met
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: him at the Big Ohio meet and greet we did
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: there while she's in Newport, Kentucky. Technically just before we
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: went to Boston hang out with Mike the Leprechaun and
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the crowd there. He says, ben I got an email
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the other day from MGM about an all inclusive package
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: midweek at the ex Caliber is three hundred and thirty
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: dollars for two nights with six meals, two show tickets,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: and best of all, free parking and no resort fees.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: There are restaurants at other MGM casinos to choose from
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: as well. Maybe they are finally coming around to bring
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the little guy back. That's from Gary in what city?
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Is that?
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Vegas? In Vegas?
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Vega's. So that's so cheap you couldn't even get
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: a hotel in Boston for one night for that price.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Not to mind meals yeah.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: No, no, that seems like a good deal, and they
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: got to do something they like. This is we're at
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: a breaking point for Vegas. They have not done well
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years. They have price gouge. The
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: greed has become a huge problem there in Vegas. I
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: love Vegas, and I believe Vegas will come back. They
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: will figure it out. The first thing I would do
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: is get rid of paid parking. As Dana White pointed out,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: you're going there. You know you're gonna lose money when
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: you go to Vegas. Very few people win money gambling.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: You know you're gonna lose money. So you go in
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: there and the first thing they do is they jack you.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: They picked your pocket for thirty five bucks to park.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: We'll screw you. Yeah, I'll put that money in a
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: slot machine or I'll put it on a parlay or
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: something like that. But leave me alone.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: But if you have to ballet park, it's probably doubled
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: that right.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: It's terrible. It is so bad.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: But the thing about so I like going to Vegas.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I love going to the sphere. I was at the
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: first night of the opening with YouTube or the opening acts.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: So I've never been to. I've been in spirit, I've
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: been have.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: You heard have you heard about it?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: At least i've seen it. Yeah, I've seen it out.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I've been by it. It looks awesome on the outside.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I've never just the inside.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I've never been inside. So I'm saying i've never been inside.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Wow.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I know a few people have climbed it. I know
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: that in trouble climbing it.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: So, thanks for those cinnamon rolls again here I ate
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: those my birthday. I didn't I was working, so I
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: didn't have cake. I ate one of your cinnamon rolls.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I heated it up in the air fryer, and that
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: was my dessert on my birthday. Al from the saw
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Mins writes, and he says, Ben and special guest, which
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: is the Leprechaun, Michael Leprecaun? Is there anything more sensitive
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: than a store bought hot dog bun? I can't tell
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: you how many times I've opened up a bun that's
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: either been cut too deep it breaks apart, or not
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: cut ing off so it's hard to stick the hot
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: dog in.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: He says, sorry for the week question I've been working
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: a bit of overtime this week, if you know what
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I mean. And then he points out free for dog.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I need every benny vote I can get double duty.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah all right, yeah, So where the heck? I know
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: fer Dog is going to come back. I know that
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: he has alto Pine looking looking out for him. But
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: the thing about the hot dog bun is, I'm gonna
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: blame Rich from Bajas he's a blame Blame him for
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: the hot dog, and blame my friend Crazy Joe from Chicago,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: my neighbor, for he works in that kind of business too.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: But anyway, so the hot dog bund, that's kind of
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: a it's a half a hot dog bund or a
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: quarter of a hot dog bun. It's it doesn't it
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: doesn't you need that perfectly started. Actually, what you need
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: to do is get a nice fresh baked out of
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: the oven roll and you cut it yourself and you
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: make the size you up.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, obviously that would be better to do that
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: without question. I have noticed there are certain grocery stores
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: you go to. They have the fresh there's some fresher
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: ones they cost a little more. And the problem is, like,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: how many hot dogs are you gonna eat. You know,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: they give you too many buns and they don't give
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: you enough buns. It depends, you know. So it's one
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: of those weird things with the hot dog bun thing.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Alf you are forgiven for the week question. Although I
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: don't think that's actually a bad question.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: That was one of life changing questions right there. The
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: most important question, by the way. Costco. I was at
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: BJ today, But Costco is the same thing pretty much.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: They sell gas forty five cents cheaper than anybody in
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: America because they can afford it, because everyone's going to
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: go in and buy that Rotissey chicken at the very
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: very very back corner and spend one hundred bucks walking
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: back there. So that's their that's their business model.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I've only bought gas at Costco unless I'm traveling.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I have for years podcasts, and here in California it's pricey. Yes,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: it's expensive in the Boston area. In California though, it's.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Well, in Boston's about down to four point thirty now,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: and I know in California is probably about five ors something.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: In the files, right, Costco's in the five eighties. Last
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I went and got gass and then and everywhere else
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: is over six dollars?
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Can I do a quick poem? This is well, this
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: is why Bej's rich. Send me. It's just a funny
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: story about Lorena. This is how she spends her day.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: She wakes up with a Charlie Horse. She spends the
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: day with Arthur itAIS, Arthur writis, she dines with will power,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: and she goes to bed with bed. Okay, wow, wow, yeah, classic.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: You had bits planned. I had no idea that Mike
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: the Leprecaunt had bits. Kevin and Temecula writes, And you
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: know where Temechula is, Mike the leprekhn nock.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Is it something that you get new here? Isn't it here?
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: It's in San Diego? No, it's it's just he says Ben.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: President Trump was asked this week about NBA Final tickets
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: going for eight thousand dollars. He said, that's the way
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: life goes. They can watch it on television. Are you
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: offended by this? Ben?
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not offended, but I don't care. Listen, I'm
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: not gonna pay eight thousand dollars. I would even consider
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: paying eight thousand dollars to go to anything. There's nothing
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: in life that I would convince would spend eight thousand
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: dollars on uh And it's a party for the one percenters.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: It's always been that way in modern times. So you know,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I get it. You'd like to hear the president say, oh,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I want everyone to do it, and not everyone can
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: an NBA Finals game, nor should everyone attend an NBA
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Finals game. And quite frankly, I got to tell you,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: it's a better experience watching at home. The food's cheaper,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: you can eat as much as you want, you know.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: To me, it's just a better experience at home. Anyway,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I've been to a billion NBA not a billion. I've
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: been to a lot of NBA games for about twenty
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: years of my life. I went to eighty plus. Actually
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I was about one hundred with the playoffs back when
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Shaq and Kobe were playing. So I've done that life.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: I've been to those big games. I've been to NBA
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Finals games, so I've done it. It's great, it's wonderful.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I'm over it. And if I didn't do it, I'd
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: be okay with it too.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: So I should have mentioned when I was in Los
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Angeles to that whole week, I had a car I
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: picked it up two miles away from my hotel, parked
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: at the hotel, and as you said, I had to
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: pay so much to park that I actually ended up
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: hiring a taxi for me, a private taxi for the week,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: and that was cheaper than parking.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Is that true? Wow, that's crazy.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: That is I drove it total four miles in one week.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: It's bad. Yeah at our building. Now we obviously have
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: parking at the Premiere Network studios. But if you don't
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: have parking, I think they charge.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: It was forty five bucks.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, a day to a generic office building, a
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: skyscraper on Ventura Boulevard. They charged forty five dollars. That
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: You've got to be kidding me.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: The lifeguard, not the lifeguard, the security guard. He Oh
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: my god, you.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Didn't really like you. I don't think. I don't think
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: your friend I didn't.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Hit off hit it off on a good note with him,
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Let's put it that way.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he must have a problem with people from Boston.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Tony in Philadelphia rights in or he says, outside Philadelphia,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: he says, He says, Ben. The question has been answered.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: It was all over the internet this week. Should you
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: sleep naked or in paja. The scientists have now checked
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: in on this. Did you see this, michael Leprecaun.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: I absolutely did. Yes, I follow NPR news, I do.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: This was on the news.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Is Tony sent this from the Daily Mail, not NPR.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: But they said that the scientists recommend you sleep with
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: pajamas on. They said it's more hygienic to sleep with pajamas.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I guess you that makes sense in case you have
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: a fart.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Well not just in case you have a partner one.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know. We've talked about this on the show.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: One of the most amazing things I've learned doing the
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: show when it comes to the farting, it's it's next level.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Do you know the fart.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Stats number two.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Human's fart twice as much as originally thought. There was
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: a study downe by the University of Maryland the do
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: you remember the number, michael leprekhn Do you remember how I.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Day or pre night? I mean, I think it's about
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: forty you're.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Not You're a little over, but not that much. Thirty
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: two times a day.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so you lost the game.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: A lot of them are silent.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: A lot of them going back to the NBA games,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: in the World Cup. I can't. I don't understand how
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Marcel is able to go to Game three at Madison
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Square Garden.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: He's not going to game three. What do you talking?
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: He said he was, He said he certainly was.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Full of pooh pooh. He doesn't leave his home in Brooklyn.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: He's staying there five hours a day, not twenty four
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: to twenty five hours a day. So there you go.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: So yeah, Tony, I don't I don't listen. It is long.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I think the story here, Tony is if you Tony
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: and Philly who sent this message, as long as you
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: wash your your sheets and you don't.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: He who almost wore He almost said a swear er, Ben.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: My God, but never to there might be kids listening.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I would never do. I didn't a while. I blame guys.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Kids are my kids are happily in bed. Thank you God.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Good Mitch from all high all rights in He says, Ben,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: which story is more outrageous? And then he sent me
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: two stories. I love this, the either or stories when
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: people send these in Michael lebrecun So. The story one
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: is a scientist in Michigan is pushing to create ticks
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: that will spread red meat allergies, so people will not
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: eat meat. He wants everyone to be an evil vegan
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: or vegetarian or whatever. And so this is a thing
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: apparently which some are calling biological terrorism. This guy from
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Western Michigan University. I believe that's the university, and it's
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: not Ben.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: That's kind of that's half wrong, because it's half right
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: but half wrong. The tick makes you allergic to eating meat,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: that's what.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: He well, yeah, that's what you want, he said. It
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: would It would those infected with or engineered to carry
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: alpha gal syndrome as through tick bites, causing victims to
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: suffer allergic gy when eating red meat, work or lamb dairy,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: all those products. And that was the story number one. Storing.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Number two from Mitch in Ohio was that Google plans
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: to release sixty four million, sixty four million bacteria infected
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: mosquitos in California and in Florida. You're laughing, how dare you?
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: What?
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Why you claim that they say these are good bugs
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: and they're going to be carrying like a bacteria called
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I don't even know, I don't even know how pronounced
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: that word. But essentially this will take out the bad
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: mosquitoes because mosquitoes are the deadliest creature.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: We have more people die from mosquito bites than any
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: other thing in the whole world. And Jimmy kimmeloson now too,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Jimmy camel Ison. But that's fine anyway. So what's the
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: point of your two stories?
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Well, which one was more rageous and the one? Well,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I don't. First of all, the guy from Western Michigan
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: that was he wrote some paper that's not actually happening.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: The Google thing is actually happening, like they're actually doing
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: this if it hasn't been approved yet. They're asking for
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: federal approval for thirty two million modified mosquitos, the good bugs.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: And so when the infected males mate with the wild females,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: the females will still lay eggs, but the eggs will
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: fail to develop and hatch, gradually reducing the population of
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: mosquitos over generations, et cetera.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: I thought this was a family show. So, Ben, if.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that, you know what I'm gonna say,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: the Google things more. Even though that seems like a
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: good idea, you know, something's gonna go wrong and they're
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna miscalculate something and they're gonna actually end
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: up causing more deadly mosquitoes. So I'm going with this
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: because not like the first one's gonna happen. So that's
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: bullsh that's bull A said.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Somebody's holding up a dead raccoon. Here on, Jimmy Kimmel, I.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Don't know what you want me to do with that.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I please Ferg Dog And oh look at this. We
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: got a jail jail house email from Ferg Doog Fullerton
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: City Jail. He says, Ben and friend of the show
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: who probably reported me? Is that true, Michael Lebercon, did
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: you report?
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: No? But I have a question for Fergie. If he
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: was in jail and trying to escape, would he use
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: w D forty or duct tape? Which would that would
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: be my choice if I gave him one of those
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: two things, I guess I would use the w D forty,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: But anyway, I didn't put him in jail.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, he can't answer. He's not actually here. Yeah, he said,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I missed the cutoff last week, but I believe this
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: is the evergreen story. It's still relevant, so I'm gonna
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: run with it back. Similar to a game you played
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: with Coop recently. I want you to take the Kathy
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Hockeley challenge, New York's brilliant governor challenge Trump to name
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: the starting lineup of the Knicks in nineteen ninety three
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: championship team. I know you weren't even born yet in
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: ninety three, but if you call yourself a sports fan,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: you should be able to name at least one player
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: from the last great Knicks squad. He says. Also, ps,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: do you have any good lawyers?
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Sure, Patrick Ewing, it comes to mind he was bought
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: in Cambridge.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: And see here's the thing, Ferd Dog's wrong. It's ninety seven, right,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: ninety seven.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Ninety nine, party like it's nineteen ninety nine.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: And Ewing did not he was on the Knicks in
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: ninety nine. He did not play for the Knicks. He
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: was injured in the NBA finals. So I believe Alan
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Houston Latrell Spree. Well, is that right? I think those
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: guys that's right.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, A good memory about Ben? How do you remember everything?
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I don't remember everything. I don't like.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: You do have an amazing job of names and voices.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: It's pretty astonishing.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Sucking up that's how you got on the mail bag.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Ryan from Shrewsbury writes in He says, now Ryan came
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: out to the event. Mike del leper Khan, you probably
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: met Ryan and yeah.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah I did. Of course
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: he was. He's lovely guy, very nice, very humble, kind
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: of humble guy.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, very down to earth guy. I wish he is.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize he was going to leave right away.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I would have spent more time with him. That happened.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: That was his choice.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, he was busy. They had like crap they had
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: to do, you know, adult adult stuff they had to do.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: And I don't think Ryan, much like myself, is very
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: He's an introvert, so to be in a social environment
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: like that is a nightmare. Ryan said, I to go home.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: He wanted to go home and fart in the bed.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Yes, everyone needs to fight in the bed, says Ben
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: and mystery guest Mike theh Leprechaun. I don't know if
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: you are aware, but I am a big fight fan.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: My question is are you a fight fan? Many big
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: fights this summer. Connor McGregor came back in July and
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: we have the Freedom two fifty next week. What are
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: your thoughts on UFC fighting on the White House lawn.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: That is from Ryan again in Shrewsbury. So Ryan, I'm
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: older than you, obviously. I grew up with huge boxing matches.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: I love the big boxing match. I was lucky enough
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: to go to several in Vegas back when boxing still
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: ruled the world. I watched Mike Tyson fight Cover the
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Tyson fight, Vander Holyfield, Oscar de la Hoya, that era
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: of boxing. Have tremendous memories of the fight game, and
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: these big boxing promoters Don King and Bob Aram bigger
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: than life. I just I love that. I'm not much
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: of a UFC fan. I am planning on watching the
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: event at the White House just because of the whole spectacle,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: whole thing, and it's just I'll get into it. One
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: of my actually two of my good friends are huge
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: UFC fans, and they get very upset with me when
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I say I'm not really into the UFC. They said,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: what do you do? Sports? Should you should be part
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: of us? It's a sport, you know, and all that.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: I'm like, Eh, have you.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Ever heard of a guy called Barry mcglighan. I have not, Okay,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: But anyway, so regarding the two fifty, Donald Trump should
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: invite putin and have a good wrestling match to two
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: of them. That would be that would be quite a sight.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: And whoever wins gets to control the world.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, and then they should invite the Chinese guy next.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the all I can have a they can have
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: a steelcage match.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: And Connor McGregor is a piece of trash because he's
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: he ran for president. He was good about ten years ago.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: All he's doing that was living on his reputation and
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: womanizing all that.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's had a lot of made a lot of
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: money doing.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: That, a lot of drama, a lot of drama.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: And arrested a few times.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Right, Oh God Jesus, Yes, who.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Has Reggie from Detroit writes and hello, Reggie, says Benny,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: are you making the trip back to see your brother
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: and go into the garden? No, Reggie, you see you
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: see that this can't be true, right, There's no way.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: So the there was a story recently that said the
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift Travis Kelsey wedding is going to take place
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden in midtown Manhattan, right over Penn Station.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: That can't be real, right, There's no way. No, I
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: don't believe that it's.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Seventy six percent certain it's going to be well, seventy
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: six percent is high odds. It's going to be in
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: New York. It was going to be Rhode Island, and
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: then it was going to be Jersey, but now it's
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: somewhere in New York.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I I yeah, come on please, oh yeah yeah
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah. Uh man. All right, let's see what else
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: do we have? Yeah, I'm not going. Are you going,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Michael lepprecunt, you're going to?
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: I didn't get an invice.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: No, if it's at the garden, they'll have tickets twenty five.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Oh. Oh, that's stupid. You're going to pay to go
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: to a wedding. That's ridiculous. That's not going to happen.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Alex from paper Town Rights and I don't know where
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: that is, He says, Ben, are you preparing for the
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: big storm? Have you bought toilet paper? And have you
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: bought bottled water? And then they I guess there's a
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: story going around that the they're calling it a super LUPO.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Satellite images showing large areas of the Atlantic Ocean five
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: percent hotter than usual, climate change event imminent. No, it's not.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: First of all, it happens every fact, every yes, And
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: that's the only time La gets any rain is when
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: there's al Nino. Like, it doesn't rain in La unless
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: there's al Nino, and then we get tons of rain,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: which is good and bad because it's good because we
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: need the rain, and it's bad because the rain goes
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: everywhere and there's more.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Acts landslides, landslides and fire slides and.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: There's no fires because there's rain, which is good. But
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: then after the al Nino, because it rains so much,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: the trees grow up, you know, tall, and then then
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: we have the fires. So it's wonderful.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: You can win. But the thing about what the heck
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: was I really Okay? I forgot I lost my turn talk,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: which is rare, but I'll come back to it. No, no, no,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Paperville you said paper Town. Yeah, it's actually next to
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Pencilville in California, Penncilville and Papertown jokes.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Are you like Dorko the comedian?
• 30:14

  Speaker 1: These guys disappear. I'm telling you, these guys call for
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: a while and then, uh, what's that guy from New York? Well,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Steven Manhattan calls every once in a while. The other
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: guy though from.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Joe, Darcel, Marcel.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Joe Dog from Long Island, that guy.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: But the thing about Dorko or even Marcel, or maybe
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Blind Scotts, they only have really one act and they
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: have to keep repeating the same thing over and over
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: and over again. But when you're a Leprecaun, you have
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: a variety. You can sing and dance, and you can
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: tell a Joe can. You can go with the flow,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: which is important in life. You have to be able
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: to go with the floe.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: All right, now, do you need you need a moment
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: to kind of, you know, stretch your you're gonna pull
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: a muscle here. You're patting yourself on the back so much.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: No, I already pulled a muscle today, so I don't
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: need a lot of a muscle pulse. I was gardening there.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Our Quang from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. Rights in guaranteed
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: human he says, big big man. Whatever happened to the
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: phrase of the work, He says, mine is done is
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: better than perfect, meaning progress often comes from finishing and learning,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: not from waiting until something is flawless. A complete project,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: post workout or idea usually creates more value than one
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: that stays unfinished in pursuit of perfection.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's aboutful right there.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: No, it is true, like, and that's something I need
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: to work on quaying because like it's I forget what
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: it's called. There's a phrase for it, and I don't
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: have any in front of me right now, but.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: It's called the grass is always greener on the other side.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: That is not it. That is definitely not it. No,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: the phrase is something to do with if you have
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: eight hours to get something done, you'll take all eight hours.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: If yes, four hours to get something done, you'll take
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: four hours. So whatever. You don't need to spend as
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: much time doing stuff as you do.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: There's a big construction job over here today. It's a
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: historical building. But they had a particular side of the
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: building to paint and they had all day to do
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: it and they actually were done by one o'clock and
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: they were they left it was ninety degrees, So good
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: for them.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Well, that's great. The problem get paid? Oh yeah, the
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: issue is like with government. It's one of the reasons
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: that the taxes never go down, Like the stuff could
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: get done quicker. However, then they'd get less money, like
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: the contract, the vendors, the government people would get paid.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: So things take all. It's like a lawyer, right, billable hours.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, per diem, exact per diem.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: As far as the phrase of the week, playing, it's
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: an add on items. It's like food. I get guys
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: upset because I don't do foody fun all the time,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: you know, and all that stuff. And these are add
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: on items. And I do love words and phrases. I'm
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: definitely a fan of that. Anyway says try it this week.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Pick one thing you've been delaying until it isn't ready yet,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: or because it isn't ready yet, focus on getting it
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: done rather than making it perfect.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: I do make a list, Ben every day. You stole
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: my list. And by the way, you stole my paper, well,
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: you toss it over the side. So if you want
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: to if you want a job to get done, ask
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: a busy man.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: There you go. Mike in Florida writes in that's a
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: big state. Mike. You might want to say, we're in Florida.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: I've never been.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: You've never been to Florida. That is a fact that possible.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but it's true.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I've been to Florida many times. I'm not in a
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: long time. I used to Rodgers, had I lie not?
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I've been to Miami. I've been to Vero Beach, all
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: up and down that coast called.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Did you meet did you meet Weed Man? Ever?
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: No, I've never met. I've been through where else I've been.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: I've been to Tampa. I've not been to the Tampa area.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Did you meet Tom Brady? Oh? No, he retired. Anyway,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: here's something about saying there's a famous NASA guy. He said,
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: how there's a book called how Not to Shake Hands
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: with an Alien? Do you know why? Because the thing
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: you think you're grabbing as his hand is actually his
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: private parts? He oh, oh yo yea.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: That you must be reading my mind.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Mike, I am.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: I have TSP Mike from Florida. Right, so, he says,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: shocking twist after America's top exorcist claims UFOs are actually demon.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: So can you believe that? Ben? I just did it again?
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: I do read minds?
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: You did? Yeah? Well, I'll have to talk to Joe
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: the ghost Hunter. I met him, Joe. Maybe Joe the
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Ghost Hunter can help us and all that he says,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you when they could have a news conference
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: at the White House and say all right, there are
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: UFOs and they could line them up and you could
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: have all the different aliens from the different movies lined
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: up in a row and say here they are. And
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: a certain percentage of people are going to say that
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: that's not true.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: But ben every single alien stereotype. They all have humanoid bodies,
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: they have a head, they have two hands, and two legs.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: That is very condescending aliens, is it?
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: What if? That's my theory? We talked about this, I
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: think with Robbie the Mariner fan last week on the
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: mail bag. If I remember correctly, what if the alien
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: movies over the years from Hollywood were based on real
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: aliens like that's they used, like legitimate aliens that the
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: government's been in contact with about that?
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: What if the aliens were the ones making the movie
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: and manipulating the world.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it's the same concept. Yeah, same concept. Now,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: speaking of that, speaking of small supposedly there are not one,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: not two, not three, but four different kinds of alien
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: species that have been in contact with humanity. The Grays,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: those are the ones that have the big head, the
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: big eyes, and the small bodies. You know what I'm
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: talking about. The giant Yeah. The Reptilians, which are tall,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: scaled and they're shape shifters.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Is that kind of like et almost a little bit.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady? The Nordics, which are tall, blowing, human looking, peaceful,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: peaceful types. And then they also have the insectoids. Oh boy,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: these are the ones that don't look like him. It's
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: multi limbed, hive mind. And uh so that those are the.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Four supposedly are any of them green?
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: M Well, the grays aren't reptilians. I don't know.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would imagine. So that's why I have an
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: insight to this, because leprecauns are green, and we do
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: have a anyway, enough about lepragon, but by what can
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: I comment? That the Red Sox beat the Yankees tonight finally,
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: and Bomby was terrible again Bomby and bomb I'm gonna
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: call him Bambi.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: All right? Moving on Vic from Texas Rights and he says,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: are you worried about the screwworm? He says, yeah, I
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: found this is a thing here, michael Leprecaun flesh eating parasite. Yeah,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: Texas victims a lot. I've detected for the first time
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: in sixty years across the Mexican border into Texas. Yep.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: So the parasite commonly called a NWS New World screwworm.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: They lay hundreds of larvae in the wound of animals
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: and humans, which hatch within hours and consume their victims tissue. Wow.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: That's and the.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: People who are most at risk are the farm workers
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: because obviously it's on a farm if you have a cow,
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: so the cow is vulnerable and the farmers are very vulnerable.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: It's a real thing.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, all right, Uh, that's scary stuff. I will use
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: that on the show though. I'm gonna I'm gonna make
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: a note michel Leprechaun and Thick from Texas the screwworm,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna say, hey, we're gonna put a screwworm
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: on them, and then that that'll be I'll use that line.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: I'll have mister Irrigation call in and figure it out.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: Mister irrigation.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's your point, mister irrigation to have an answer.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: In Houston. Richard from Arizona better known. I guess his dick,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: although he didn't say that here. He says, hey Ben,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: scientists made sour dough bread using yeast collected from Azzi
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: the iceman's mummified body, and they say that the bread
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: came out really good.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter where you get the moisture from, as
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: long as the moisture.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: The iceman's mummified body. This guy died. I guess he
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: was discovered by German hikers back in nineteen ninety one,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: and scientists have found signs of life in the five thousand,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: three hundred year.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Old mummy, Mummy, Mammy, Mammy.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: By way that point, Richard said, would you eat bread
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: made out of a mummified body?
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: That would be an honor, wouldn't it. That's where they're
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: trying to go to the south pole of the moon,
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: because there's liquid water frozen London.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Well, that wouldn't make you a cannibal if you ate
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: bread made from a mummy, would it? Because it's not.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: It's just as you said, it's the yeast.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know, cannibal like.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Dahmer.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Carl from Texas writes in he says, hey man, and
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: whoever does Dan Marino deserve the heat that he's getting
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: after signing a MAGA hat and hanging out with Ted
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: Cruz at the White House. So I didn't see this, Carl,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: I guess you sent me a link to a story
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: here where Marino's getting killed. Listen. Uh my position, I've
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: said it a million times. I'll say it a million more.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Social media is not real. It's it's all the matrix.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: It's all a mind trick and all this other nonsense
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: and all that. I think most people don't really care.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: My experience going out Michael Leprechaun and meeting fans of
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: the show, many of them are very into politics. Yeah,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: yet I think the rank and file just trying to
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: get through life, just trying to get through the day.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: It's like Thanksgiving. Don't talk about politics, don't talk about religion.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: And the thing that's happening in Washington this summer with everything.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump can't even have famous artists come to perform.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: He's going to perform himself. He said, I'm not a
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: Trump fan, but Den Marino, Den Marina should know better.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: Oh he's a big boy. He doesn't need that money he.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Wants Who cares it's his life. If he wants to
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: hang out, he can hang out. Stephen from Chicago says
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Ben and Mystery friend Bear's quarterback Caleb Williams is being
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: slammed because of the cover of Madden, which apparently he's
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: wearing nail polish. Uh so, there you go, he's Stephen says,
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: did do you think they did this intention? The people
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: that made the video game? He a sports well obviously,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: I mean the Caleb Williams. That's what he's known for.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Like he where's nail polish? So like, if you're gonna
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: put Caleb Williams on the cover of a video game,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: going to have nail polish, That's kind of how that works.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: It's not really shocking that he has it. If you
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: didn't want that, you wouldn't have put him on the cover.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: So that's that. I don't it's you know, the game
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: sells pretty much the same. I don't think it really
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: matters who's on the cover. Uh So you know he needs.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: You know what he needs. He needs a Hugh Hefner
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: robe and a pair of slippers as well.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Great idea. Last one, Last one Michael lepreca on Last
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: one from Mike from Appleton that's in Wisconsin, says Ben.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: Here's another story about Trump. You guys are sending me
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of Trump related stories here. What's up with that?
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Trying to get me in trouble. Mike says Donald Trump
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: was mocked he because he did not recognize former Brown's
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: offensive lineman and Hall of Famer Joe Thomas. And an
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: event here in Wisconsin. Trump said, Hey, the guy that's
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: a good looking guy or whatever something like that, and says,
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: but I don't know who he is anyway, Mike says
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: he wanted to know, would you recognize would you recognize
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas? No? Hell, No, I would not ride Joe Thomas.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: He's an offensive lineman. He played for some of the
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: worst NFL teams of all time, So no, I would
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: How would I? Possibly he's not wearing his helmet, he's
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: a former player. Although Joe Thomas did give us one
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: of the all time great quotes, one of the outstanding quotes,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: when he was talking about playing offensive line for the Browns.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: He said, it's offensive lineman. We consider ourselves mushrooms because
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: we get thrown into the corner of a dark room
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: and people pile poop on us. And then expect us
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: to grow, which is a wonderful quote, just a wonderful quote.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: But no, I know who. You know, he's gonna know
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: who Joe Thomas is, Like, seriously, what are we doing here?
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: On that note?
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: That's a very good scientific reference. You know what he is?
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: He is a fun guy.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: There you go, Joe Thomas, fun guy. We'll get out
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: on that note. I will be back tonight and all
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: week on the Amazing Riveting Ben Malors Show. No days
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: off this week, and I'm sure we'll have many conversations
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: with Mike the Leprechaun who was on the mail Bag
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: and if you'd like to recommend someone for a future
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: mail bag someone on the show. I did reach out
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: to Weedman Hippie to try to see if he wanted
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: to do it. He is unable to work out the
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: technical part of it. He is completely clueless on how
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: to do anything involving tech. So therefore he is out.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: We don't have him on the show. There are some
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: other people we're looking at. If you would like to
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: recommend someone though for the mail bag, you want to
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: hear more of a caller to the show or someone
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: on social media. Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: That's real fifth Hour at gmail dot com the Leprechaun.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Thank you for your time, sir.

  Speaker 2: My pleasure. I'm ready for the Mallard Paloozer.
