  Speaker 3: is shut off the work email. So I feel like
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: it's not important to have the work email because that's
• 1:42

• 2:37
  Speaker 3: lot rights in on the mail bag. He says, I'd
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: like to piggyback off Brent's question about Buffy the Vampire Slayers.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Cancelation from last week. Yeah, that was a great question.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I'm so uh, why did NBC Sports Boston cancel Benny
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Versus the Penny For that matter, why the f did
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: NBC cancel Alf? Well, Alf, that should still be on
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: because you have you need more material, Alf the alien
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: O Punter. We had Benny Versus the Penny had a sponsor.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: I'll tell exactly what happened.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: I don't care.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: It's been a year.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: We had a sponsor lined up ready to go. You
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: got to sell the soap, as John Sterling said, and
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: the sponsor bailed out at the eleventh hour, right before
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: we were going to go into production for the season.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: So I was assuming I was.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Getting prepared to travel to Boston to do record some
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: stuff for Benny Versus the Penny, and then they bailed
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: out and we didn't have enough time to give another sponsors.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: So that's why you fired.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: I had nothing to do with the audience or anything
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: like that or the ratings that the show was doing fine,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: but we had an advertiser and they bailed out, So
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: that's why the show ended up getting canceled. Hopefully we'll
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: bring it back, but who knows, maybe it'll pop up
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: somewhere else.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: So that is that Kevin in Kansas?
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Since this, dear Ben and Danny, G, I know that
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: the annual bridge coast a bridge cost here. I completely
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: screwed this up, Kevin, I completely screwed up the beginning
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: your email, he says, I know that the Animal bridge
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: costs California a lot of money as regular drivers in
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: that area. Can you tell me if the animals are
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: putting it to use, has it been worth the money?
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Do predators just wait at either end to prey on
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: the lesser creatures? We curious listeners await your opinion. Well,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: this is much closer to you, Danny. I don't drive
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: that way very often, so you drip either all the time.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Have you seen a lot of like elephants and drafts
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: and rhinos crossing the bridge?
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: I mean it might as well be a damn Safari.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: They Noah's Ark. They're all lined up to go into
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the arc, right.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, TMZ should get their people movers over there and
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: just do like a Safari slash Hollywood tour.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: No, first off, it's not completed. It's not finished. They
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: ran out of money, so they had to go to
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: the state of California to get an additional twenty million dollars.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: This thing is not going to be done until next year.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Next And yeah, as you said, it raised the price right,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: the price through the roof and all that, and the animals.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: Well over one hundred million dollars now with a stupid bridge.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that is absolutely wonderful. Yes, money, well spent nothing
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: else to spend that money on it. But it's a
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: privately fun and it's okay, great.

• 13:00
  Speaker 4: walks into the other room, he drops an elbow on me.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: So it didn't work. We just didn't get to watch
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: as much wrestling as everybody else.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, we had the same We had the same situation.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Me and my older brother were watching my younger brother.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: My parents never went out.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: They I was very.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Didn't want to leave us kids alone, didn't trust us kids.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: They finally they got it in their head that it
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: was okay for them to go out and have a
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: nice meal together and a nice day, and so they
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: left us all there. And of course, by about half
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: an hour after they left, we had my younger brother
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: jumping off the top of the sofa like it was
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: the top ring top rope and broke his arm.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: So are you saying that's what my mom was trying
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: to avoid?
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well I didn't. It kind of ruined my parents
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: state night and they had to go to the emergency.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: My brother as art.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: But it was a really great move in my defense, Danny.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, he really did fly off the top rope.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: It just land was a little bit of a problem.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: The jumping off was next level. But thanks to outback
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: John and Joanna for continuing to listen support the show.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Reggie from Detroit writes in on the mail bag. He says, Hey, Ben,
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: did you see the latest on your AI guy or
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: not AI? He says, the bots? The bots? I did
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: not see this Reggie, but I thank you for giving
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: me the latest on this. So this guy in North Carolina,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: We've talked about it on this podcast, Danny. He used
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: AI to create songs and increase the amount of people
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: used bots to then download the song and listen to
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: the song. And this guy illegally earned over eight million
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: dollars in royalties off fake music and bots. And he
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: just had the computer shooting out everything and made eight
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: million before he got caught. He used advanced AI that
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: anyone who is computer savvy can use. And this is
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: what I'm talking about. Then this is my this is
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: my michig os, I admit it.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: Ben Is he genius or diabolical?
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: How about both?
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: And he's got like the most generic name according to
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: the story, his name is Michael Smith.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: How many guys are named Michael Smith?
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: AI generated his name, I know code.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Of the Department of Justice.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: The guy was able to produce with AI hundreds of
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: thousands of songs which automated bots would stream billions of
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: times billions obviously, well you know, forever they calculated a
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: corner to the Department of Justice that this guy he
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: could utilized the bots accounts to produce about six hundred
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: and sixty one thousand streams daily. That's over half a
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: million streams daily one dude in some town in North Carolina,
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: and one point during the charge time period he earned
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: one point two million dollars in royalty annually. This guy
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: was making a million two now, isn't it wouldn't that
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: be kind of the kind of thing you do for
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: a few months, stop and then maybe down the line
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: you bring it back.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Or something like that. But this guy couldn't couldn't stop.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Apparently, if I read the story right, he just kept
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: going and going and going and going.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Eventually he got uncovered and all that.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: But this is the argument that the guy Smith of
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: coord is this happened last regisim of the story.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: Here.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: Smith pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: wire fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of five years
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: in prison. He also agreed to pay back over eight
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: million dollars.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: In money.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: But damn well, if he's got to do five years
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: of hard time, maybe it's not hard time, but if
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: he's still five years locked up, at least let him
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: keep a million.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: How they're gonna get everything back?
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: Right, And it says up to five years maximum sentence
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: five years, which means I don't know this guy's that can.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he has a criminal record or not.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: He's not gonna get that. What's next.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Let's go to Scott from Florida on the mail back.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Scott is a regular p one working in the overnight
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: shift in the Sunshine State. He says, Ben and Danny
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: g now that you Ben, he's now that you have
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: had close persons in our interactions with both Dave Chappelle
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: and Rush Limbaugh. Which conspiracy theory do you think is
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: most likely to be true about them? Dave Chappelle was
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: replaced by a body double or Rush Limbaugh was Jim
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Morrison from the.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: Doors saw him on the street and two at that time,
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: you and I saw Rush Limbaugh in the hallway. He
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: had two bodyguards and a guitar case.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: You know, I gotta protect the legend. You have to
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: protect the legend. That is what you have to do.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: There, it was either his golden mic in the guitar
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: case or a guitar because he was Jim Morrison.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Well, there you go. It's possible that was the case.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I like the conspiracy theories from Scott, though
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: that's good. That's maybe Rush is still alive somewhere and
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: doing you could bring Rush back.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Have an AI version of Rush. I don't know that
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: you want to do that.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: Ye did you hear about AI Colin?
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, created a super Colin, so he'll just keep doing
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: the show forever on AI. Right, Magic, You're you gonna
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: do that? Dan Patrick? Just having a Dan Patrick AI.

• 19:43
  Speaker 3: be a John R. Wooden Award voter? He says, that's
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: the first question. So years ago, I was a kid
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: and there was a sportscaster at Channel five in LA
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: named Ed Arnold. And Ed was a friend of mine.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: He's a very nice man, very polite, cool guy, and
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: you know, good dude. Knew that he wanted to help
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: out the younger generation of sportscasters. And I was one
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: of the young punks at the time. And Ed was
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: in charge of the John R. Wooden Award. And he said, Ben,
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: I want you to have a vote. And I said,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: you're full of blankety blank blank. He said, no, no,
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: I really want you to have a vote. And I
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: said okay.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: And he says, as long as you keep voting every year,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: you'll have a vote.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: As long as you're in the media. I said, okay,
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: I'm in. I almost missed it a couple of times.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: I forgot a few times, and I needed Eddie to
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: help me out on that. But it was Ed Arnold
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: who just passed away not that long ago, and Ed
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: was the man that gave me.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: The opportunity to vote for the John R.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Wooden Award, which I'm very grateful for and it's one
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: of the cool things that I get to do and
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: have one of a handful of people that actually are
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: like media types basketball types.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Get the vote? Who else to have any?
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Old?
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Andy writes in he says, howdy, gentlemen, you mentioned Tommy's

  Speaker 3: I don't eat fish, so I don't eat dog or
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: anything like that.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: We pretty much just eat what we like.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: And then we're trying to find stuff that we like
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: together that we'll eat.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: And that's that's that. I don't like a lot of
• 22:32

  Speaker 4: What about you, Danny, Brenda and I line up really
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: well when it comes to food.

  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no food that's divisive between us.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Tastes like a touchdown in your mouth.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: The only thing I will say is she is grossed
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: out if I eat a bowl of cereal because she
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: hates milk, whereas you call it milk. That's it, though.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: That's the only thing that bothers her that I like,
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: and she doesn't.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah, she my watch just complains about any
• 23:07

  Speaker 1: I'm married.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: My wife wants to dress up. She that's the main
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: issues the mistophonia. Like anything, I gus, what are you.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Chewing like that? Far as I was just eating, that's it.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Michael and Tulsa writes.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: In uh, he says, uh, one of the greatest ancient
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: philosophers in human history. This guy from China, China, according
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: to Google Ai blah blah blah blah blah.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Says, depending on your dollar, he did a pronunciation.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: He's the father of some ancient Chinese philosophy.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Was there something answer her question here? Oh? Yeah about
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: the lizard thing? Yeah, he says.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: It brought a huge smile on my face when you
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: said you thought about what is a lizard thinking? I'm
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: glad the lizard was able to escape the Malor mansion
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: without being harmed nor eaten by Moxie. Well, Moxie's too
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: lazy to eat it, Michael, Come on, I mean Moxie
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: didn't even notice it.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: She just laid there by the way.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Ben, there are people in South America and other parts
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: of the world who allow lizards to stay in their
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: home twenty four to seven because lizards are awesome creatures
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: and they'll eat the damn bugs like cockcroaches, but they
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: can't bite, and they are tremendous insect eaters.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: So there you go.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: Perhaps you could bring an iguana into the Fox Sports
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: radio studios to eat the giant cockroaches. That's for Michael.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: That by management. Danny get pet iguana in there.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: That. Yeah, that's a great idea.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I'll put the Fox logo on it. It'll be it'll
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: be good.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: Why not? Uh? It used to be the Gico studios,
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: remember do you remember?
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for a long time ocually.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: Ico Gecko in there.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: It was the Auto Zone Studios for a while when
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: we first started, and then it was Geico, and then
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: it was tire Rack and now it's just kind of whatever.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Fred from Anaheim, right, sin, he says, Been and Danny.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: The TNA studios, Now that's right.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: How can AI wash dishes and cook? And he sent
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: me a story here that door Dash is paying door
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: dashers to do their own household chores to train AI robots.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: So they're they're getting robots that'll do your dish. I
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: don't mind doing the dishes. Why would you want to
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: when you need a robot? You want to hire a robot,
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Danny do your dish.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: And cook.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: Dishes? No, but vacuuming, dusting, like deep cleaning. I'm all
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: for a robot getting busy, which.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Is ironic because you kind of sound like a robot
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: at times during this podcast.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: So it does work out very well.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Racist, you're the robotic Gee, So these people at door
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Dash are teaching the robots to essentially take their jobs.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: It's akin to the NFL when you're supposed to groom
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: the next quarterback. While you're messing that up. You're kind
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: of screwing that up. Mike from Toledo rights in. He
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: says Ben, how could the United States Postal Service have
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: lost already one point three billion dollars this year?
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Who's running the postal Service?
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: Well, you've certainly emailed the right place, Mike, to complain
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: about the United States Postal Service.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: I have no idea.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know these governments operations. No one in the
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: real world. If you had a business that was losing
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: one point three billion, which I guess is what they've
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: already used lost according to you, Mike, people would lose
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: their job, There would be investigations, they would go out
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: of business.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: In this world, you don't have to worry about it.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: In the in the.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Political world, the federal government world, you don't have to
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: worry about it. They say that they may have to
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: halt mail delivery in twenty twenty seven. Something tells me
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: they're not going to halt mail delivery in twenty twenty seven.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know what do you want to
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: do with that?
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: What else are we were still going to get Furman's mail.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: The great Andy Furman, who did send me an email
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: the other day, not snail mail, but an email. And
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: he did the old fashioned way where he put everydy
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: everyone's email address in there.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: So it's like a hundred people's email. You know what
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about.
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a lot. That is as like our og
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: Twitter users on the Avalor Show, who would put their
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: phone number in as their profile name.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, the guy from Minnisoda he wanted to smokes out. Yeah,
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: cell phone number a name on the man. That's a
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: tough one. All right, I think we'll get out I
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: mean this some other ones, but we'll save it for
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: another time. If you want to send a mail into
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: the fifth hour mail bag, you can do that real
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: fifth hour.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: At gmail dot com.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: That's real fifth hour at gmail dot com.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: And that's it.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: I will be on tonight regular time, should be on
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: all week, barring some kind.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Of unforeseen situation.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: I will be on there behind the microphones, breaking down
• 28:56
