  Speaker 2: which is so popular. How popular is it? It is
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: so popular that we try to span the globe and
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: bring in many different members of the Maller Militia. I
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: have noticed since we started doing this, that it is
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: very difficult to... It's like herding sheep. It's very difficult
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: to get you all together and answer your phone and
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: all that. So on this mailbag, why don't we spin
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: the Malheur Militia Wheel of Legends. We'll spin the Wheel
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: of Malheur Militia Legends on this 18th day of October.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Big money, big money, no whammy. Stop! Look at that
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: right there. I can hear him moving around. Well, actually,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: before we introduce him, Ohio Al, get me in the mood,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Ohio Al.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: It's in the bag. Ben's Mailbag.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Hey, Ben. There he is right there. That's Weed Man Hippie. Wee!
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, boy. Let's do it. Well, it's good to know
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: that your phone still sounds terrible, Weedman. But you do,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I will give you credit, you and Robbie the Mariner
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: fan always answer your phone. So congratulations on that. Tremendous
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: job as we have a full card. Well, almost a
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: full card of NFL football news. Today, including the early game,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: another one of those European matchups the NFL loves. They
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: can't get enough of playing games in Europe. They love it.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Game in London, which, depending on when you're listening to this,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: may or may not. Well, we got the Jaguars and
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: the Texans. Do you know what cities they're from, the
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Jaguars and the Texans? Jacksonville and Texas. Well, no, but
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: what city in Texas? What city do you think a
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: team called the Texans would be from? Yes, the Austin Texans. Well, close,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: you know, or Houston. You know, it's all... It's all
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the same. Have you spent much time in the state
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: of Texas, Weedman? You have never been... Not even the airport?
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: You never stopped in the.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Now, here's an interesting question. Does that count? Like, I've
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: traveled a lot. I usually go West Coast, East Coast. However,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I do consider, if I stop at an airport, I
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: consider that visiting. I know it's not a real visit,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: but I kind of consider myself visiting that. You know
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying? Because if something happened at the airport,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: that would be where I met my demise or whatever, right?
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Anyway, you don't seem impressed by that. We'll move on.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: And these are actual questions by actual listeners. If you'd
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: like to contribute to a future mailbag, you can send
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: questions in care of realfifthouratgmail.com. That's realfifthouratgmail.com. And we do
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: thank you. We have a good group. When we started
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the podcast many years ago, it was a lot of
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: begging for people. I'd post on Facebook and different social
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: media saying, I need questions. I don't have to do
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: that anymore. So I'm proud of you. We've reached a point.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: The Goldilocks zone, Weedman. Where now, I just give out
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the email once, I mention it on the radio show,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: and if you mention it, they will write in. So realfifthouratgmail.com. Again, realfifthouratgmail.com.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: First one up is Jimmy from Merino Valley. I bet
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: you a Weedman has no idea. My friend Billy. You
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: don't know where... Moreno Valley is, Weedman, do you? No idea.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: You're not very up on the geography. Where do you
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: think Moreno Valley is? I don't know. It's actually in California.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: It's not that far away from Los Angeles. And Jimmy
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: writes in, he's in Marino Valley. He says, I've listened
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: to you since the third shift weekends. If not before then,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I can't remember for sure. I have not called in
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: to a Fox Sports Radio show since Bob Golick had
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: a show on Saturday evenings. Wow. That's a long time.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: That's almost, man, that's 20 plus years ago. Crazy. But
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Jimmy says, I have sent a few e-mails saying, used
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: to frequent the text line years ago and occasionally interact
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: on X. It is sort of ironic, Jimmy says, that
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I was thinking about a few old callers and how
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I really liked their calls. I still wanted to hear
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: them because it's been a long time. And then Lance,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the world's worst bus driver, called in. And then the
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: next day, Mark, the full name guy, called in. And
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Jimmy says, I cannot listen to every second. Perhaps I missed.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: some of them earlier this year. So my question, this
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: is from Jimmy. My question is with all the various
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: callers who used to be frequent callers that have disappeared,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: who would you most like to hear from one more time?
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: You have more than 20 years of callers to consider.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: That's from Jimmy. Jimmy in Marino Valley. Well, the one
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I can't get to call in. She's dead, but Jeannie
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: in Medford was wonderful. Do you remember Jeannie Weedman? I
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: don't know. Okay. You've been calling for so long. It's
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: all a blur at this point. It's just all a blur.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Jeannie was great. Jimmy Ray from Tampa Bay was an
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: all-time wonderful contributor. Jihadist John in Michigan was a big
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: part of the show.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: He had to stop calling himself that when we had
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: one of the wars in the Middle East that we
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: have every couple years because they were calling, you know, jihadists.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: He got in trouble for that. What else? I'm trying
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: to think. You love Bozo the Clown. Yeah, you love
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: those guys. What else? Well, Real Talk stopped calling, called
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: in again around the presidential election, then vanished. So he
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: was interesting. I mean, there's a bunch. We had some
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: good callers. Credit Card Gordon from Ottawa was an all-time
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: great caller to the show. There have been a lot.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: There have been a lot of people that have helped
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: make the show. There's Pete in Pittsburgh, the Bread Man.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of good guys. Reggie from Detroit writes in.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: My guy, Reggie. This guy, Weed Man, this guy never
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: misses a free. Well, I shouldn't say never. He almost
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: never misses a mailbag. He sends questions in early in
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the week. He listens. He does not call the show.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Reggie does not call the show. I don't think he's
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: ever called the show. Does Helmet Man call anymore? I
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: haven't heard Helmet Man. I did open up a Malheur
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Bureau of Investigations into Helmet Man. Unfortunately, I reached a
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: dead end. So Helmet Man lives in Southern California. Haven't
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: heard from him in a couple months. So he's he's
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: on Facebook. So I tried to reach out. His Facebook
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: page is not working, which doesn't mean much. I mean,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: you have a Facebook page. Yours doesn't work.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: We've been. I know that's what I'm saying. So it's
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: possible you guys all can't forget or you can't remember
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: your passwords. So it's possible Helmet Man lost his. And
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: then I tried calling him. I had a number, believe
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: it or not, for Helmet Man. So I tried calling him.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: The number was not in service, which, again, is troubling. However,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: he has an Obama phone, and I think you guys
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: have to switch that out, or he switches it out.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: So I've not been able to track down. I do
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: have Helmet Man's real name. He has a very generic name.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: So I've been unable to track him down. I'm hoping
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I'll run into him at one of the games I
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: go to or he'll call in randomly. The thing about
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Helmet Man, I'm pretty confident that if he does call
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: in Weed Man, he'll just pretend like nothing happened. He'll
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: just be, hey, Ben, what do you think of the Orioles?
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: You know, something like that. Yeah, yeah, that's usually what happens.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: So anyway, la, la, la, la. Oh, Reggie, I don't
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: think I even got to the question. Did I get
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: to the question? I don't know if I did. Reggie said,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: how awkward was that chat with Big Daddy about him
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: missing the fifth hour mailbag? That was very awkward, Reggie.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: That was cringeworthy. That was want to get out of
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: the headphones and the microphone, go away. So Weed Man,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: I know you were not listening, but this guy Big Daddy,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: he lives in Memphis. and he really yeah he really
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: well that's not his real name i don't think his
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: mom named a big daddy but he he's known as
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: big daddy and so he wanted to be part of
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: the mailbag and this is a couple weeks ago. He
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: gave me his number. So I tried calling him again.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: And no answer. Went right to voicemail. I'm like, what
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: the hell? So I ripped him a little bit, right?
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I goofed on him. And he's like, oh, you're trying
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: to call me the day my mom died. Wow. That's awkward, right?
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: That's terrible. It's worse for him than me, but it's
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: not ideal when you're doing a bit on the radio.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: I'm doing a bit about how this guy doesn't answer
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: his phone. And then he had a great excuse. He
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: had a great excuse. Also, Reggie says, what happened to
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Jerome and Charleston? I liked his calls when you guys
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: would get into it. That's from Reggie. I don't know
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: what happened to Jerome. I did yell at him one time,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: and I don't think he liked it. He always called
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: up and tried to bully. He tried to bully me,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: and I usually just ignored it, whatever. And then so
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: one time I pushed back, because I know he's just
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: full of crap. I love Jerome, but he's full of crap.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: So then I challenged him and yelled at him, and
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: he hasn't called since. Too bad. Yeah, he was a
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: good caller. He always complained about how much money people make. He's, oh,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: you make too much money and all this stuff, which
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: to me, Weed Man is just like a loser mentality
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: because who cares how much somebody else makes? You make
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: the money. You go out and find a way to
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: get the money. That's my position. So I guess we're
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: 0 for 2. Reggie, well, not 0 for 2. Big Daddy,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: he will be on. He will be on at some
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: point once things get calm there. I know it's a
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: very difficult time. When you lose a parent. Jerome in Charleston.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know if we'll hear from Jerome again. But
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: if we do, I'm sure he'll be complaining about Pat
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: McAfee or somebody making a lot of money. Shane from
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Dallas writes in. He says, hey, Ben, ask Weedman. This
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: is great. Now, Shane did not know that Weedman would
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: be on this podcast. And here he is. He says,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: ask Weedman if he'd sign up for this. So, Weedman,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: here's the question. This is perfect. I'm glad you're here, Weedman.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I said the people at Pringles. Pringles. You like Pringles? Yeah, sure.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: All right. I say people at Pringles are celebrating Halloween
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: by giving one fan the chance to win a custom
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: urn shaped like the iconic chip can along with 200
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: years worth of free Pringles. The catch is, Weed Man,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: you have to agree to be buried in a Pringles can. Now, the...
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: What's that, Weebin? What? I don't have records of everyone
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: that's died. I don't know, but... The promotion is called
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Once You Drop. It's the Once You Drop campaign, which
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: asks fans to prove their love for Pringles by pledging
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: to have their ashes buried in one of the cans. Wow.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: The promotion launched this past Tuesday, and it does. Here's
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: where it gets interesting. It does take inspiration. It was
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: inspired from a real-life story of a man who invented
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: the Pringles can whose ashes... were buried in his, I guess,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: in the can there. They put them in the can. Well,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: how else would you fit into a Pringles can? How
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: exactly would that work? Anyway, the urn is made from
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: precious metal, features removable lid, personalized engraving, and a design
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: modeled after the familiar Pringles container. The winner will also
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: receive 200 years worth of Pringles, which the company says
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: can be passed down to someone of their choosing after
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: their death. Well, there you go, Weed Man. So you
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: get Pringles for the rest of your life. And your son,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: who's very successful, right? Your child weed man? Lawyer? Is
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: he a lawyer? I believe he is a lawyer. Michael.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: And he went to Georgetown? Harvard. Oh, I thought he
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: went to Georgetown for some reason. He went to Harvard. Okay.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Look at that. And they say the apple doesn't fall
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: far from the tree weed. Look at you. Ha ha ha!
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, here's the problem, man. You have to
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: go to the Pringles website to sign up. And that's
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: always a problem because you don't have email. All right.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Next up, Shane. Oh, we did the Shane one. That
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: was Shane from Dallas, that question. Ian from SoCal. Says, hey, Mala. Ian,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: you're not from Boston. Don't say, hey, Mala. What are you,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Wayne from Southie? Anyway, he says, have you ever found
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: any crazy things while you've been digging around the Mala mansion?
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Ian brings this up. So check this out. This is
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: a wild story, Weedman. I saw this the other day.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: So a dude is working outside his home. He lives
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: in Egypt. So he's working outside his home. He's in Egypt.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: And he stumbled across this ancient stone. And that, you know,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: in Egypt, when you start digging, you see something like
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: a stone. You're like, well, wait a minute. There must
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: be something. Yeah. So that led to archaeologists coming to
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: his property and They found the remains of a 28-foot-tall
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: statue of a legendary pharaoh on this guy's property. Wow.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: This guy was living on top of a 28-foot-tall statue
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: of a pharaoh right there below him. Giant. Giant statue.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Isn't that crazy?
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: 28 feet.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Wow. That's a big statue. But that's not even the
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: craziest part. This thing is from over 3,000 years ago. Wow, really? Now,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: I go to this place called Sequoia National Park. They
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: have these giant trees, Weed Man. And those trees are
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: like 2,000 years old. This statue is 3,000 years old. Wow.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: So the team of Experts uncovered fragments of two enormous
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: royal statues, including the one that we talked about there.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: That's crazy. Now, there was another thing I remember a
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: while back. There was a six-year-old boy that found a
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: 1,300-year-old sword during a school field trip in Norway. That's
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: pretty crazy, too, right? I think the only thing I've
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: found is stray dog poo on my property at home.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: That's about it. Not much going on with that. Sorry
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: to disappoint you, Ian. No 28-foot tall statues of legendary pharaohs.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Ramses II was the name of the Leo from Chicago
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: writes in, love Chicago, great city, need to go more often.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Leo says, hey, Ben, I know you like weird food stuff.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: You haven't done foodie fun as often recently. Leo says,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Chips Ahoy and Heinz have teamed up. In China, they've
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: released a limited edition new flavored cookie. And he says,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: yes or no. I'm going to ask you, Weed Man,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: yes or no. This is only available in China. Chips
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Ahoy and Heinz teaming up for the limited edition tomato
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: sweet chili sauce flavored cookies. You're out on that. That
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: does not sound good. I would argue that's it is odd.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: The taste buds that. taste buds in the Western world,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: like our world are much different than taste buds in
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: the Middle East or in China. It is, it is
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: a strange thing. I think. Yeah. Well, it's the, always
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: the right mix of sweetness and salt and fat. And
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: that's really what you're looking for. They call it the
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: bliss point. We'd man, they call it. And if you
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: reach the bliss point, you have the proper amount of salt, sugar,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: and fat. it becomes addictive. And I've talked about this
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: in the past, but these food companies spend millions of
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: dollars to try to have in the lab, the scientists,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: they hire them to try to figure out the bliss
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: point where people cannot stop eating potato chips or cookies.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: And a lot of these products, it's diminishing returns because
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: eventually people get tired of them. And if you can
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: find a way to addict people with over-the-counter stuff, It's great.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: But that does not sound good to me, Leo. Spicy
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: tomato chili flavor. All right. Lewis from Denver writes in.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: He says, look at that. We've been very polite. We've been,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: he says, you see the time capsule in the sea.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Here's another one of these effed up. So this is
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: just like the one that was sent in by what's
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: his name? Ian. This one's from Lewis. I don't think
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: they know each other. And Lewis said there was a
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: time capsule that was found recently at the bottom of
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: the sea. It's the world's oldest shipwreck. How old do
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: you think the world's oldest shipwreck would be, Weedman? 300 years. Weedman,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: we just did a story about a pharaoh statue that
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: is 3,000 years old. According to experts, the world's oldest shipwreck,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: which was recently discovered, sank 4,700 years ago.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: 4,700 years. Years ago, Weed Man. How do you know that?
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: I know. It does sound like bull crap, doesn't it?
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, how does anyone know that? Nobody can know that. Yeah,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: they're guessing, right? Yeah, that's the point. Let's do some
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: malware math on the fly, Weed Man. You want to
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: do that? All right, so 47... It's not 47. So
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: it's 4,700 years. Now, the average... A generation is 25 years.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: so how many generations were all right hold on let's
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: see here uh by the way this was discovered off
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: the coast of turkey according to lewis right oh my
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: god so that means while this thing was at the
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: bottom of the sea 188 generations of people have wow
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: come on isn't that nuts That's 188 people that were
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: born and at least got to the age of 25.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Isn't that crazy? There's no way they could know that. Well, no,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: I'm saying we know. Oh, yeah, they don't know. I
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: tend to agree. They claim that this, well, here's what
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: they say. They say they thought it sunk between 2600 B.C.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: and 2400 B.C. They can't know that either. They say
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: it's around the same time the Great Pyramid of Giza
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: was being built. So they're building the Great Pyramid, and
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: then this is going on. So what was in the ship?
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Was it a bunch of gold? Do you think there
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: was a bunch of gold bars in the ship? No, no, no, no.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: The ship had a wooden hull, which, of course, is
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: long gone because the ocean, the saltwater, decayed all that. However,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: divers uncovered... The cargo of the ship, they claim that
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: it was, they believe the vessel was a trading ship
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: and it was carrying goods to other, obviously other countries.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: So they had olive oil and a bunch of supplies.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: They uncovered these like pots, these clay pots and whatnot.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: It was carrying things like olive oil and possibly wine
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: across the Eastern Mediterranean. So nothing real values. Yeah, yeah.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: That's always, you always hear these, because that's probably why
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: it didn't get a lot of attention. Because if it
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: was gold, it'd be like, oh my God, we got
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: all this gold from 4,700 years ago. But instead, it's
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: just a couple of things of olive oil and wine,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: so who the hell cares? That wine's intact. Can you
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: imagine wine from, people love wine from, like, long ago.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: I bet you that's too old, though, 4,700 years ago, right?
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: That's a little too old. All right. Tony from Philly
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: writes in on the mailbag on this Sunday. He said, Hey,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: he's in Philly. You've been to Philly weed, man. You
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: live in New York, right? You went down to Philly.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: I bet. Yes. All right. Do you like Philly? I
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: feel like you're just saying that you didn't actually go there.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: I feel like you've never been there. What's going on?
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: What's the truth here? Oh, you did. You did. Okay.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: All right. Yeah. Wasn't that supposed to be a temporary
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: statue and then it became a permanent statue? Yeah. I've
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: been to Philly, but I never went to the statue.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: That's a bad job by me. I got to go
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: back to Philly just to go to the statue. Anyway,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Tony says, Hey Ben, I know you like being the judge,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: jury and executioner. What kind of punishment should these punk
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: kids get in France? All right. So this is, this
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: I'm glad Tony, I'm glad you sent this in. So
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: this is a great story we've been in. So I'm
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: sure when you were a teenager, you were a troublemaker, right?
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: We're all troublemakers when we're kids, right? Now, I'm not
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: sure if this is teenagers or not. However, there was
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: a group of hackers who they think may be teenagers,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: a group of hackers who were able to hack into
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: a supermarket, like the air conditioning and the heating and
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: all that, their system. And so these hackers... They turned
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: the supermarket fridges up to 122 degrees. They turned it
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: into a heater. So that means hundreds of grocery stores
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: in France who were hit by this cyber attack yeah
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: they had to throw away all the food they had
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: to dump the entire like all the freezer food all
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: the refrigerator food so Tony I think the only proper
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: thing to do Tony would be to take them in
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and give them a
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: lifeboat one paddle drop them into the ocean and say
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: boys if you can get back you're fine if not
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: enjoy the yeah what a douche move man come on
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: that's not right Next up on the mailbag, Hudson from
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: New Hampshire. Shouldn't Hudson be from New Jersey? Anyway, Hudson says,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I listened to you on the sports hub in Boston
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: on my way to work. I have never called in.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: I have never emailed in. This is my first email.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: You should be honored. Oh, man. Are we honored, Weed Man,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: that Hudson changed? Sure. All right. Very nice. I feel
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: like this is more a story for you. He says
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Subway is giving away 5,000 free subs for sharing your
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: worst lunch story. All right, so have you had any?
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: I bet you've had some bad lunch stories. You could
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: come up with a humdinger of a story. Do you understand?
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: You could come up with a humdinger of a story. Anyway,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: the promotion, which I guess began, I think it's still
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: going on. It invited people in America to share disappointing
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: meals they've had at other restaurants in exchange for a
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: chance to win a $ 15 Subway gift card. $ 15. That'll
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: get you like one sandwich, won't it? Yeah. All right. Anyway,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: the giveaway comes after Subway commissioned a survey. Subway commissioned
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: survey found that 66% of American adults sometimes regret their
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: lunch purchase and complaints ranging from expensive meals to foods
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: that leave them hungry, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Yeah,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: I've had some. We all had bad meals. I. There
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: was a chicken restaurant. There still is across the street
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: from Fox Sports Radio. I ate some Mexican chicken there.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Got food poisoning. That was unfortunate. You ever had food poisoning? Yeah,
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: I eat the runs. It comes out both ends, Weed Man.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Back door and front door. Yeah, not good. Mario. So,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Weed Man, you're not interested because it's only $ 15, right?
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: It's not worth your time. Mario. I love that about you.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Mario from L.A. writes in. Mario. He says, hey, Ben
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: and whoever, would you pay extra for In-N-Out to be
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: delivered to your home? Yes. Have you had In-N-Out burger, Weedman? Yes. Really?
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Where did you have it? Because it's only on the
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: West Coast.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, Ben.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Oh, Ben.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: I'm drinking something in Miami. No, there's no In-N-Out. I
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: don't think there's In-N-Out in Miami. In-N-Out is a– they
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: are going east. I think they're in Tennessee now and Texas.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: They used to only be in California, Oregon, and Washington,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: and Arizona, and Nevada, the western part of the U.S.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: So anyway, here's the story from Mario. He says In-N-Out,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: they refuse to sign up for delivery apps, you know,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: like Uber Eats. So they don't allow those businesses to
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: do business with them. So there's apparently a black market
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: delivery situation where people who are so horny for In-N-Out
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Burger Weed Man are paying $ 50 extra on top of
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: just for the delivery because the chain In-N-Out refuses to
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: use Uber Eats and DoorDash and all that and Grubhub
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: and they just won't use it. And so some drivers...
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: I'm like, Hey, I'm going to charge you an extra 50.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Now I got to tell you a little side hustle.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: I would consider doing that during the day. I would consider. Yeah,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: I would. You're laughing at me, but I'd be like,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: you know what? I think I could do that. You know,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: a couple hours, three to five. Like if I did
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: like two hours, I did four orders. That's an extra $ 200.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: That's that's for $ 50 charge. That's that's great. That's great.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Those are going to take 50 hours for delivery. Well,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: people that are too lazy. I agree with you, Edmund.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: You're older than me. I'm getting older. The thing that
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: blows me away is how many people who are younger
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: than us do not mind spending ridiculous amounts of money
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: on Uber Eats and DoorDash to get food. I mean,
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: I guess if you have the money, then it's no
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: big deal if you're rich. But it's like, they already
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: have a way to pick up the food with being lazy.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: It's called the drive-thru. If you drive in, the food
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: is in the drive-thru. Uber Eats are next-level lazy. Now,
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: I'm happy because we have a lot of people overnight,
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Weed Man, a lot of people that listen who are
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: delivering food. DoorDash and Uber Eats and all that stuff, Grubhub.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: So I'm glad that those things are out there. It
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: just blows me away that people are so frivolous. And
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: you're that interested in a double-double and all that with
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: fries that you're willing to spend an extra $ 50 surcharge
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: on top of the food. It's crazy.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: It's wild. All right. Let's see here. Here's another foodie.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: A lot of foodie stories this week. Foodie Nick from
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: New York writes in. He says, Ben, it's finally happening.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: And he says, are you excited that Chick-fil-A has announced
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: a new spicy sauce after a 10-year wait? Wow. 10-year wait.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Have you ever had Chick-fil-A, Weed Man? No. You have not. Interesting.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Spicy Chick-fil-A sauce, a spice-filled version of the brand's signature condiment.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: And diehard fans have been hearing about this for many, many,
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: many years. It was originally, I guess, released way back,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: like 20 years ago, and then it went away, and
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: then I guess they're bringing it back. It'll be available
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: starting next month, November 16th, in both standard dipping cups
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: and 8-ounce freeze bottles at all restaurants. There you go.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Never had the Chick-fil-A. Interesting. That's odd. All right. NASA
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Bob writes in from who knows where. He didn't say where.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: It's NASA Bob. He says, hey, Ben, I know you
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: believe there's things at the bottom of the ocean. Did
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: you see what this NASA astronaut said this week? And
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: I feel like I've seen this story before. I don't
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: know if this is a new story from NASA Bob.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: So anyway, former NASA astronaut Charles Duke claims that UFOs
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: are demons masquerading as angels. And this guy's 91 years old.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: And he's... I believe he's saying this is part of the...
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: it's in the Bible. He thinks this is out of
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: the Bible. These are creatures from the Bible. He said,
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: the Lord says what we're seeing is real, but the
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: devil can't appear as an angel of light, the Bible says.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: There you go. I don't know about that. I'm not
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: on board. Not on board with that. If that's what
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: you think, I'm going with these things live at the
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: bottom of the ocean weed, man. That's what I'm going with.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: They live at the bottom of the ocean. Benny, this
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: is Benny. This guy didn't sign his name. Oh, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Tom from Bucktown. Do aliens come from the bottom of
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: the ocean? Yes, yes. I believe they are either they're
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: from the bottom of the ocean or they are visiting
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: and they have bases at the bottom of the ocean.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: If you were visiting our world, Weed Man. How do
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: you breathe in the world? They're aliens. They don't live.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: They don't operate like us. Then why can't they just
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: come from outer space? Well, I'm saying they likely did
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: come from outer space, but if you look at Earth
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: from thousands of miles away, it is mostly... Network. Exactly.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: So when you go into water and you could hide
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: out and the animal, what are they going to get
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: attacked by sharks? Most of the animals in the ocean
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: just kind of ignore you. Don't they? They don't really bop.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Like the blue whales are massive, but they don't really, uh, they, everyone.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Every once in a while by accident, they'll top, they'll
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: top a boat over, you know, a boat will top over. Uh,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: all right. Benny from Buck. Where the hell's Bucktown? I
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: don't even know what that is. That is that even
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: a thing? Let me check here. Hold on a second.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Maybe he's just joking. I don't know. It didn't start
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: with an F. It started with a B. That does
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: sound like Pennsylvania. Let me see here. Oh, you know what?
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: How about this? There's Bucktown, Chicago and Bucktownship, Pennsylvania. Good
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: job by you, Weedman. Unbelievable. I don't know whether Tom's
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: from Chicago or I'm going to guess Pennsylvania. I feel
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: like Buck Township is more famous than Bucktown. That's just me. Anyway,
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: he says there are a group of adults spending ridiculous
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: amounts of money to look like they're American girl dolls. Ben,
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: I need to get your take on this. Long time listener.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: That's from Tom in Bucktown. Yeah, these stories have been
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: around for a while. They're not new, but it's usually
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: like middle-aged women that have something off a little bit,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: Weed Man. And this one woman that I think Tom's
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: talking about, I saw the story the other day, she
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: has spent over $ 10, 000 on toys and accessories. It's pretty wild, man.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: At least the one... No, no, to dress like the doll.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: So they look exactly like the doll. Some of these
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: people have had plastic surgery. That's the one, the Barbie girls,
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: the ones that want to look like Barbie. I think,
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: and I'm not sure, Tom, I didn't see the whole story.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: I think this is more about women who get exactly
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: the same outfit for their American Girl doll. And it's
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: kind of odd because they're in their 40s and they
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: want to look just like the doll. So it's a
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: little awkward. You know what I'm saying? Vance, we'll get
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: out on this. Vance from Florida writes in. It's kind
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: of a big state. I don't know whether you're near Weedman, Vance,
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: or you're up north. Anyway, Vance says, do you think
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Travis Kelsey can dig his way out of the doghouse?
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: And apparently, Weedman, these Swifties are mad at Travis Kelsey
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: because he liked Shane Gillis' monologue on Saturday Night Live.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: I guess Gillis did a monologue some of the feminists
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: are upset about. And Travis Kelsey liked it. Vance, A,
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know whether those are real Swifties or fake Swifties.
• 36:11
