Kutbooms.

If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to clearinghouse of
hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
(00:23):
with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
In the air everywhere, The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Maller and Danny g Radio. You have stumbled on to
the mail bag. That's right now. I do have something
I want to get to before we get to the
actual mail bag with Ohio Al and all the magic
and all that. As we are hanging out on one
(00:49):
of the final Sundays before real football, not the final
Sunday before real football. But we still have some time
to go. But here we go. This weekend has been
Week two. Well, there was that first game Chargers played in,
(01:10):
but that doesn't count. So Week two and the next
week's Week three, and then there's no games the thirtieth
and thirty first, and then the season begin on September fourth, right,
Cowboys and Eagles. Then the Chargers played and I think
they played the Chiefs in Brazil? Is that right?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Don't you think it should be a national holiday in
the US of A?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Oh? It kind of is. I mean, we you know,
people don't really pay attention at work. There were worried
about the parlays and all that stuff. So we have
that to look forward to. And on this we got
the mailback. I did want to start with this. I'd
mentioned this on the Friday podcast and I didn't get
to it yesterday. Bet job by me, but a little
left right center of the universe, Danny, I wanted to
(01:54):
tell this tale story time on the Fifth Hour podcast.
So there are You've been to some of the parties
over the years, Danny them, And we've got the ugly
Sweater party we do every year. But there are dinner parties,
and then there are Mallard dinner parties, the kind that
start with twenty seven burgers and end up with a
dice game somewhere in the middle and feature five kids
(02:18):
learning the fundamental You gotta start them young, the fundamentals
of gambling faster. They know gambling now more than they
know long division. The kids. Okay, so I'd mentioned I
took some time off, well the week prior because my
brother showed up from the East coast, and so we
(02:39):
had By the time this thing happened, we had eleven
people crammed into the to the Malor mansion. Me, my wife,
my brother, you know, his wife, his kids, my cousin.
I have one cousin that lives locally and her kids.
We had. We had a full We had a full house. Right.
We are pretty much a roade band of underage wild
cards there. And the food, as always is abundant. We
(03:03):
had I was making the burgers there and all that stuff.
Uh and and so we had that going. We had chips,
we had hot dogs, we had it was like a
Vegas buffet, you know, chips flowing like the Colorado River.
Manja manja. You know, my wife's got some Italian blood,
so manja manja. And you didn't eat until you were
(03:24):
you full. You ate until you were emotionally complete. And
then came the game. And this is why this is
the part I want to talk about. So left right center.
I've talked about this game before. I love this freaking game.
Mindless fun three dice, three fake dollars or real dollars,
if you're you know you want to go there one
family wide descent into competitive gambling madness. And uh, you
(03:47):
know you said, well, fake money whatever, it's durable fake money.
But Danny, let me tell you something. When you put
three fake bucks in front of a nine year old
child and tell them they can win all the fake
they have no concept.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Right, That's why the board gay Monopoly has been so
popular for so many years.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, like one of the kids, I'm pretty sure this
kid thought he was the Wolf of Wall Street playing
the game right, because he had to fake money. And
it was funny because one of the one of the
little girls that was playing my cousin's daughter, she was
very skeptical and you could tell she had been raised properly.
(04:27):
So I of course announced to everyone as our kids
get around the table do a little gambling. So this
little girl, what a sweetheart. She's a I don't gamble,
that's wrong. You shouldn't gamble, right, And so she didn't
want to take part. She walked away, right, She's okay,
all right, fine, whatever, you don't have to get And
so we played a game and then my thing, Danny,
(04:50):
whoever won the game, I actually gave real money to
I had a extra money, I tossed some money their way.
So once she found out there was real money, the
little girl all of a sudden her opinion on gambling
changed and she came back and she sit down, She's like,
all right, here we go. And so it was great.
(05:10):
You know. It's like, you know, they went from asking
if they could trade their chips for M and ms
or whatever, and then all of a sudden they're calculating
the odds on each dice roll like some kind of
m I T blackjack thing or something like that. And
so the dice a flying left right center. You lose
a buck, you gain a buck, You scream at your
cousin for rolling three dots and ruining your empire. It's
(05:33):
it is kind of like monopoly, right without the board, Danny.
It's like monopoly. It's craps without the pit boss. It's
it's capitalism at its purest form. It's it ends up chaotic, loud,
and it's it's mindless, which I love. You don't have
to think about it. It's so simple. There's no real
strategy to it. And at one point, my uh my,
my my neph my nephew, or I guess I call
(05:56):
my nephews. My cousin rolled like three centers in a row,
and you know, everyone you know going crazy and all
that stuff. It's like it's like a game winning shot
or a walk off hit and it it was really
a lot of fun. And yet it was fake money.
As I said, there was some real money as I
gave out. But we are responsible adults, Danny. We we
(06:18):
we don't gamble with real cash unless we occasionally do.
But it would be illegal to do that with real
cash with kids, right. But the stakes we had pride,
there was honor. There was a little bit of a
bounty at the end that was paid out, and it
was it was just wonderful and we had a great time.
Everyone ate well and had a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
And and when these kids get to be twenty one,
I think we know where they're going to be celebrating
their birthdays.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yeah, I really it is important. I don't know about
you with the kids and stuff, Like I I have
fond memories when I would go to family reunions and
I had one of my cousins gave me like the
first beer I ever had, you know, those kind of
things like I think those are the experiences that you remember.
I don't remember a lot of stuff other than those
kind of weird, standout experiences anyway. All right, enough of that,
(07:07):
let's get to the reason you're here. The mail bag,
and that means Ohio Al. It's all right, thank you
(07:29):
very much, O. Hi the great ohio Al.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
There.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
We love the man, very talented musician. I will meet
him at some point when we do the Ohio Meet
and greet. Let's see who's up first. Dave Dave from Seattle,
beautiful city, Seattle, love it, love it. I've only been
there when the weather's good anyway. Dave says, Hey, Ben,
please tell Danny g to save this one for animal Thunderdome.
I know that Clay will love it, so I love that.
(07:53):
The first message I got Danny is a message for
you to pass on to Clay. He says, there's a
warning out. This is from Dave. He sent me a
news story. A Frankenstein rabbit with tentacles sprouting from their
heads have invaded parts of the US. Do not touch them.
They've been multiple spotted in Fort Collins, Colorado. Grotesque horned
(08:18):
creatures with black tentacle like gross sprouting from their faces
sightings are on the rise with this. This wouldn't make
animal Thunderdome. This is just about a weird Oh I'm
looking at a holy crap.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Okay, there's a story going around Ben about an army
of robot rabbits that they deployed in Florida to fight pythons.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Oh is that right? I'm sending you a photo, Danny
of right.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah, send that. So when you were first saying that,
I thought maybe that's what the story was.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Oh no, no, this is uh that doesn't that look like?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Uh, let me see, I gotta see this one.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah, it's uh it looks like some kind of rash
or fungus is growing on the on the head of
the rabbit. Uh. If it can, it should be in
your uh your f Oh what yeah, it says. These
Frankenstein rabbits have mainly been seen in Colorado. Researchers noted
that the cottontail rabbits throughout the Midwest could become infected.
(09:19):
It's say, it's a rare box.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
It looks like spores on HBO Max. The last of us,
the people that got infected, they grew spores out of
their face, and that's what that looks like.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
It looks like when I was a kid, we had
a lot of eucalyptus trees and every once in a
while they get a fungus on it, and it kind
of looked like that. It's pretty pretty gnarly.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
That is freaky.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
But you're is is that an Animal Thunderdome story? Though
it's not about fighting animal, it's about you know, fungus fighting.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
It would probably get an honorable mention and it's not
something I would like focus on for a whole segment.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Okay, I got you, I got you? And uh is
are you preparing CoA for Animal Thunderdome when that show
starts when he's thirty years old? Are you getting there?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yeah, let's go baby twenty five.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
It's gonna happen, Baby, it is gonna happen. Yes, absolutely,
all right? What is next year? Barry from South Carolina? Yo, Yo,
Mob Benny and Danny Gee. He says, So I'm not
trying to go to the third rail, my man. But
you know what that means, Danny? But yeah, he says,
(10:30):
I've been noticing that Lorena contributes and jumps in often
on discussions, and Roberto and Eddie also chipped in often
when they were on the show. Conversely, it seems like
Coop never says anything except for when he plays the games.
Why doesn't Coop chime in more? Is he smoking a
ball during the show? That's from Barry and I couldn't
(10:50):
answer that. Barry, I have no idea. It would help
us out if he would be more engaged. He's just not.
He's not really engaged in the show. A lot know
what's going on. I do know since Eddie left, and
you know, he didn't leave on his own accord, they
whacked him. But since Eddie left in November, I have
noticed Danny that by the end of the show, my
(11:13):
voice is like shredded chicken. My vocal cords are like
shredded chicken. Doing the four hours with mostly just me
talking for four hours. So it literally at the end
of the show and I feel bad. My wife's like, hey,
she wants to talk to me after the show. She
works overnights at the police station, so like, I want
to call me up, and I'm like, I can't talk
to you. I have to I have to be quiet
(11:35):
literally for like.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Two you're like a singer on voice rest exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I mean, it's it's wild and it's but I don't
know what to tell you, Barry. I mean, he's you know,
I just I'm just happy when Coop shows up before
the show starts.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Anny, I know what part of it is. What's that
I know this from being in that studio with Coop
during your show. He hated it when any of our
voices were al along with yours when you were talking
about something topical in sports, because he was trying to
isolate it during the show to then send it to
Veto and the guys to make a promo.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Out of Oh, okay, I'm looking for the pros.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
That's not the whole thing, but that's part of it
is that he used to be like, nobody say anything.
I want Ben's take on this, because he was trying
to get that work done during the show. Gotcha, Yeah,
I know.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Plomo's that air all the time. Freddy from Ohio. I
don't know where. It's rather a large state, Freddie, he
does not say his Saison from Ohio says, hey, Ben
and Danny g here's another question about the show. Danny says,
how come every time some caller takes a shot at Lorena,
we get a bunch of fans on social media, creating chaos.
He says, well, Freddy, listen, what do you want me
(12:52):
to do? I have worked with women on Karen Ka,
Miranda Marino, some other women along the way, and I
have no problem. I work with anybody. I don't care.
But one thing about women, Danny I've noticed is it's
it's girl power. It's like a double edged sword with
women on sports radio. And Lorraine has experienced this because
(13:14):
you have some guys who, no matter what she does,
will defend her and her honor because she's a woman.
And then there's other guys that are like, I hate
all women who are on sports radio, and so I'm
going to try to tear her down.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Women in talk radio are very polarizing.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, some people, no matter what she does, people love her.
And then there's other people no matter what she says,
she could solve cancer, and people will be like fuck her.
You know. So it's like this weird it's this weird
thing is always every woman I've worked with, it's the
same thing. You know. I was just trying to do
a good show. I don't care who I mean. I
want to work with people that are engaged and want
to be part of it and all that stuff, and yeah,
(13:56):
but it is interesting, Freddie, I don't know what to Yeah,
don't know what else to say.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Let somebody personally offends you and says their name on
the air while they're doing it. Just be nice to
the whole crew.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah, just be nice to people. It's not you know,
it's not that big. And now we do have a
Big Lou from the LBC road in and Glue. He's
on number two. I love Glue. I love Big Lou.
Big Lou's great, good people. He's been to the studio
a few times. Love him. Big fan of the show.
He's always support us. He works at the dreaded day
shift and he always tries to go to these mallor
(14:30):
meet and greets. He was supposed to go to Vancouver.
He missed his flight. He's gonna be in Vason. We
will be doing a mallor meet and greet this coming Saturday.
Today is Sunday, so we got it through a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday and boom Saturday. It's gonna it's on. It is on,
like don't get gong and if you missed it, and
(14:50):
I probably should have mentioned this on Friday, and Saturdays podcast.
But the Mallar Meet Greets coming up this Saturday, that
is the twenty third of of August, from three o'clock
till five o'clock. It's at the same venue we were
at last year. Our buddy Slug the hostess with the moss.
You can get the Steakout Bar and Grill. The Steakout
(15:11):
Bar and Grill forty eight hundred South Maryland Park. We
it's right near the UNLV campus and right there, right
there near UNLV at least till five will prob be
there longer than that. It's gonna be upstairs. Steak Out
Bar and Grills really cool. There'll be a special menu
with malor themed food items just for that day. There'll
be a stage there, a little stage, guys can do
(15:33):
some karaoke, and we're just gonna have a good time.
We hangout, have fun, tell stories. I'll be there, Coop
will be there, Loreno will be there. I did invite Eddie. Obviously,
it's a little awkward because he's not on the show.
I'd said, hey, if you want to come promote the
podcast you're doing, we'd love to have you. I don't
think he'll be able to make it, but we would
love to see you there. I bring this up because
Big Lou reached out to me from the LBC. He says,
(15:56):
any Malad militia members who are attending the upcoming Vegas
meet and greet and are interested in and attending the
u n l V game it's early afternoon on that Saturday,
holler back. He says. He wanted me to mention that
on on this podcast. So now, how do how do you?
Big Lou didn't say how you want me to contact
(16:17):
these people? So I can. I don't think you want
me to give out your email address?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
And uh, anyway, so Big Lou, do you want me
to give Big Lou's Twitter handle?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Maybe? Yeah, yeah, if you if you can find it,
I don't have it in front of me.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
If you can, yeah, I'll get it right now.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Big Lou's a big support of the show, and good
dude loves hockey, which is you know, he's not perfect.
He's not perfect because he loves hockey and the u
n W is playing like Idaho State or something like that.
I believe something along those lines on Saturday afternoon. It's
a one.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Yeah, I have his handle?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Okay, what is this? Is this is on social media,
So contact Big Lou if you want to go. You
want to see a little unw football and then go
over with the you know, fans of the show. Go ahead,
Danny was it?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Yeah, this is on X, which will always be Twitter
to us. Yeah, at e I G underscore l u
U at e I G underscore l u U.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Okay, So that's Big Lou and you know, good guy.
You get together some of the fans and we'll you
guys can come over the little pregame. Some of the
boys like the pregame and then make your way over
to the to the venue and well we'll hang out.
And the reason we're doing it in the afternoon is
because we want you to go to Vegas on Friday
and we want you to stay out all night and
(17:34):
do bad things, and then we want you to recover
by three o'clock and then go out again at that
night and do more bad things. Reggie from Detroit writes
and says, Ben, when can we get some details on
where to watch Benny Versus the Penny twenty twenty five?
Since the peacock dropped the ball, Reggie says, have you
got a backup plan? Well, Reggie I'm not ready to
(17:57):
announce the backup plan we are f there's a couple
of things that are going on, and the way I'll
answer this, and also Danny, the way I'll answer this,
we will both get the reference because we're old. Do
you remember Indiana Jones, the Indiana Jones movie franchise, the
Originals back in the day.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
How can we forget that?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
One of my favorite scenes in that Remember the scene
it was the first Indiana Jones movie when someone asked
Indy what he's going to do next, and he replied,
I don't know. I'm making it up as we go along,
right Like there's something like that, I don't know. I'm
making this up as I go not that I'm making
it up. We do have some tentative outlines of what
(18:39):
we're planning on doing. There is a wild card that
could change things dramatically that I'm not going to talk
about publicly here other than just some stuff that's in
the works that if things break right and it's like
the Hail Mary pass in the back of the end
zone and you win the game. I'm not expecting that
to happen. But the reasons I'm not announcing anything is
(19:01):
because that's still a possibility, so I'll let you know, Reggie.
As you know, also, Danny, I am not afraid to
promote things. I am not afraid to just end up
going crazy and promoting stuff. So well, not at all.
You'll let you know. Conspiracy theory Carl Right, since says, Hey, bandon, Danny,
I enjoy the podcast. While I am drinking my coffee,
(19:26):
he says, I know this isn't coast to coast, but
you know what that means. He wants to talk coast
to coast. Do you believe the entire universe is connected?
He sent story, Danny. He says scientists are baffled after
spotting the eye of Sourn in deep space. He sent
this story conspiracy theory Carl I, who did not say
(19:49):
where he's from. I don't know where he's listening, but
he says the Eye of Soren is an integral part
of the Lord of the Rings series, and he says
experts have d tilled a similarly terrifying vision in real life.
It says the uh, this is from deep space and
I don't know this. I'm gonna send you this story, Danny.
(20:10):
It looks to me like, uh, well, first of all
the photo that's in the story. It kind of looks
like when a woman's pregnant and early on in the
pregnancy and you kind of look at the you know,
the little thing that's gonna be a baby, but it's not.
It's pretty small and you can't really make it out.
It kind of looks like that. But this is like patternicity.
(20:33):
This thing is you know scientists fire talking about an ultrasound.
It's an ultra yeah, exactly, ultrasound. So me let me
click on this. I'm gonna copy and paste this in.
I'm gonna send this and can be on your phone.
It's it's sending there's a thing circling right now, and
then it's been doo.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Doom, doom, doom, doom, doom boom, like to alert all
the affiliates down the line that Ben Maller is texting
something right now.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Yes, but not mine. This came from conspiracy. You're at Carl,
so it's not it's not mine. This is from Carl.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
That looks like like a neon milky way.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Okay, yeah, yeah, for sure. I don't know that the
eye of souron is it's again patternicity.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Would you rather get lost in the middle of the
sea or the middle of space.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I'd go I'd go ocean. What about you?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
You'd go water? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Go water. I could because I can tread water. I
feel like I know how to tread water. Preto no ox.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Yeah, I'm not as confident in my swimming skills, So
I think I would choose space. You would, okay, Yeah,
I'd like to look down on everyone for once.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Wouldn't it be if even in space and you're looking
back at Earth and you thought that is everything, that
little like plant, that's everything in humanity is right there?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Yeah, a little marble.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Your mind explode and like, I don't know, it's uh,
it's crazy anyway, that's conspiracy theory. Carl Marcus in nolence,
all right, sin, He says, guys, there's a story out
this week that said, uh, they want to make toothpaste
(22:16):
from human hair. They say it could repair damage teeth
better than fluoride based products. Are you guys on board?
So from from Marcus, I really haven't thought much about it. Danny,
would you run out and buy a toothpaste made of
human hair?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
So what did it have to be from a blonde?
Because my teeth are yellow?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Yeah, that's a good it's a good point. I don't
know what do you want me? What am I supposed
to do with that? Come on, Marcus, I don't know.
My wife will probably buy it. She'll hear it on
some podcasts somewhere. This is gonna make your teeth butter,
and you're gonna live, you know, seven years longer.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
You know.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
It's like, fine, whatever, let's see Joe from New York, right,
since here's another yet, Danny, this is just people sending
me animal stories for your stupid animal thunderdome, which is
not even a thing yet, because it's you're waiting on class.
Just a Brooklyn somebody in Brooklyn, I guess this is
(23:19):
not This is not Uncle Uncle Moe because Uncle Moe's
in Jersey now, he says, Brooklyn. Or maybe it's Marcel.
Someone in Brooklyn pled guilty to trying to smuggle eight
hundred and fifty protected turtles worth one point four million
dollars million dollars. Guy in Brooklyn plug guilty, and Joe
(23:42):
sent the story here. He was attempting to export more
than two hundred twenty parcels condading around eight hundred fifty
Eastern box turtles three toed box turtles to Hong Kong
turtles smuggling. He labeled the turtles as plastic animal toys.
Turns out they weren't. Blah blah blah. This this actually
(24:03):
happened a couple years ago, but the he's just been
it's worked its way through the legal system with one
point four million.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I mean, speaking of smuggling turtles, there's a story about
a woman who tried to get past TSA with two turtles.
She stuck them in.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Her bra I like turtles, Wow, was she? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:22):
And one in one of the turtles got smothered to death.
Oh that's not it's that dumb bitch.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Yeah, all right, Well, this guy is going to be
sentenced on December twenty thirty. The max penalty on this
is five years in prison, three years of supervise, supervise released,
and a fine of up to two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars or twice the gain or loss from the
illegal activity. He also agreed to abandon any property.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
So they are the closest thing we have left to dinosaurs.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Yeah, although I I know people say alligators or like
whatever to.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Me that if, but alligators don't like us.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
No, they know they're not they're not big fans of
what we do here. What else do we have here?
It's the mail bag. Blah blah blah blah blah. Uh
kJ from San Jose, he says, yes, I know the
way to San Jose, says Benny, and no Penny. But
Danny g He says, Ben, I know you like to bet.
Will you be betting on the Robot Fight Club? So
(25:30):
I actually mentioned this the other night on the radio, Danny,
we brought this up. So there's a startup in the
Bay Area. I guess kJ must have missed that part
of the show. Anyway, there's a startup in the Bay
Area and in San Francisco. They're creating a new sport
in which robots, robots piloted remotely by people, will battle
(25:56):
inside cages. The sport would mix a little bit of
martial arts, pro wrestling and the tech world and also anime.
And they're gonna, you know, intermingle and all that stuff.
And they say it's going to be the next they're
claiming they're the promoters the next. Ufc Uh says that one.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
We've heard that before.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
A guy walks around and he has full swords. You
can feel the pounding on the ground. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
This sounds like something we heard about Danny in the
nineteen eighties. You know, we're gonna have robots fighting robots
and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
I we did have that TV show for a for
a while, the Robot Wars. Remember, Yes, yeah, I do,
I do.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Yeah, you know this is this is like next level.
This is gonna they say it's gonna be fully mainstream
once people can really feel this and see, it'll be
fully mainstream. How do you bet on that? Wouldn't that
be easy to rig? All all boxing and MMA stuff's
easy to rig because.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
You're this was well in. Robots have become far more advanced. Now.
Did you see the footage of that robot that was
just walking down the street in Detroit?
Speaker 1 (27:05):
No, I don't think I saw it.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
No, if you google robot walking in Detroit, it's freaky looking.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Oh, here we go. I found this is a human
sized robot strolling down Detroit seven mile.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Yeah, I'm looking at it. Oh, imagine if that's what
they have right now, imagine what's gonna be like in
five years.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Yeah, it's a humanoid. Two of these in the boxing
ring pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Yeah, Hey, if you can bet on it, I'm in.
If you can bet on it, I why not? What
the hell go for it? So that's my philosophy, although
I'd like to have inside information on which bot has
the more advanced technology and all that. All right, we'll
get out on that note. I will be back tonight.
I know I missed the Friday show. I was away
(27:58):
the rare and appropriate trip away. I'll be back. You
guys have had a crazy schedule with Covino and Rich.
What's the schedule like this week? Are you guys filling in?
You back to the normal schedule? What's going on?
Speaker 3 (28:11):
As far as I know, we're back to the regular schedule,
But there's some moving parts still going on because, as
you know, everybody's scrambling around to get their final last
days off.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yeah, for sure, man, you get to those days and
once the NFL season starts, you got it. I need you,
my man would need you to be there. Come on,
ma man.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Locked in, Yeah, laser focus, locked in. No days off
once the NFL season, Yeah, once the regular season starts.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Days all right, have a wonderful rest of your weekend
here you rest of your Sunday but I'll be back
to night eleven o'clock Pacific on this Sunday, two am
in the morning, early Monday on the East Coast, and
we'll have four hours of Red Eye nine nonsense on
the Ben Malor Show. So we'll talk to you then
and see you then by Asta pasta.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Gotta murder, I gotta go.
Kutbooms.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to clearinghouse of
hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
(00:23):
with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
In the air everywhere, The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Maller and Danny g Radio. You have stumbled on to
the mail bag. That's right now. I do have something
I want to get to before we get to the
actual mail bag with Ohio Al and all the magic
and all that. As we are hanging out on one
(00:49):
of the final Sundays before real football, not the final
Sunday before real football. But we still have some time
to go. But here we go. This weekend has been
Week two. Well, there was that first game Chargers played in,
(01:10):
but that doesn't count. So Week two and the next
week's Week three, and then there's no games the thirtieth
and thirty first, and then the season begin on September fourth, right,
Cowboys and Eagles. Then the Chargers played and I think
they played the Chiefs in Brazil? Is that right?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Don't you think it should be a national holiday in
the US of A?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Oh? It kind of is. I mean, we you know,
people don't really pay attention at work. There were worried
about the parlays and all that stuff. So we have
that to look forward to. And on this we got
the mailback. I did want to start with this. I'd
mentioned this on the Friday podcast and I didn't get
to it yesterday. Bet job by me, but a little
left right center of the universe, Danny, I wanted to
(01:54):
tell this tale story time on the Fifth Hour podcast.
So there are You've been to some of the parties
over the years, Danny them, And we've got the ugly
Sweater party we do every year. But there are dinner parties,
and then there are Mallard dinner parties, the kind that
start with twenty seven burgers and end up with a
dice game somewhere in the middle and feature five kids
(02:18):
learning the fundamental You gotta start them young, the fundamentals
of gambling faster. They know gambling now more than they
know long division. The kids. Okay, so I'd mentioned I
took some time off, well the week prior because my
brother showed up from the East coast, and so we
(02:39):
had By the time this thing happened, we had eleven
people crammed into the to the Malor mansion. Me, my wife,
my brother, you know, his wife, his kids, my cousin.
I have one cousin that lives locally and her kids.
We had. We had a full We had a full house. Right.
We are pretty much a roade band of underage wild
cards there. And the food, as always is abundant. We
(03:03):
had I was making the burgers there and all that stuff.
Uh and and so we had that going. We had chips,
we had hot dogs, we had it was like a
Vegas buffet, you know, chips flowing like the Colorado River.
Manja manja. You know, my wife's got some Italian blood,
so manja manja. And you didn't eat until you were
(03:24):
you full. You ate until you were emotionally complete. And
then came the game. And this is why this is
the part I want to talk about. So left right center.
I've talked about this game before. I love this freaking game.
Mindless fun three dice, three fake dollars or real dollars,
if you're you know you want to go there one
family wide descent into competitive gambling madness. And uh, you
(03:47):
know you said, well, fake money whatever, it's durable fake money.
But Danny, let me tell you something. When you put
three fake bucks in front of a nine year old
child and tell them they can win all the fake
they have no concept.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Right, That's why the board gay Monopoly has been so
popular for so many years.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, like one of the kids, I'm pretty sure this
kid thought he was the Wolf of Wall Street playing
the game right, because he had to fake money. And
it was funny because one of the one of the
little girls that was playing my cousin's daughter, she was
very skeptical and you could tell she had been raised properly.
(04:27):
So I of course announced to everyone as our kids
get around the table do a little gambling. So this
little girl, what a sweetheart. She's a I don't gamble,
that's wrong. You shouldn't gamble, right, And so she didn't
want to take part. She walked away, right, She's okay,
all right, fine, whatever, you don't have to get And
so we played a game and then my thing, Danny,
(04:50):
whoever won the game, I actually gave real money to
I had a extra money, I tossed some money their way.
So once she found out there was real money, the
little girl all of a sudden her opinion on gambling
changed and she came back and she sit down, She's like,
all right, here we go. And so it was great.
(05:10):
You know. It's like, you know, they went from asking
if they could trade their chips for M and ms
or whatever, and then all of a sudden they're calculating
the odds on each dice roll like some kind of
m I T blackjack thing or something like that. And
so the dice a flying left right center. You lose
a buck, you gain a buck, You scream at your
cousin for rolling three dots and ruining your empire. It's
(05:33):
it is kind of like monopoly, right without the board, Danny.
It's like monopoly. It's craps without the pit boss. It's
it's capitalism at its purest form. It's it ends up chaotic, loud,
and it's it's mindless, which I love. You don't have
to think about it. It's so simple. There's no real
strategy to it. And at one point, my uh my,
my my neph my nephew, or I guess I call
(05:56):
my nephews. My cousin rolled like three centers in a row,
and you know, everyone you know going crazy and all
that stuff. It's like it's like a game winning shot
or a walk off hit and it it was really
a lot of fun. And yet it was fake money.
As I said, there was some real money as I
gave out. But we are responsible adults, Danny. We we
(06:18):
we don't gamble with real cash unless we occasionally do.
But it would be illegal to do that with real
cash with kids, right. But the stakes we had pride,
there was honor. There was a little bit of a
bounty at the end that was paid out, and it
was it was just wonderful and we had a great time.
Everyone ate well and had a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
And and when these kids get to be twenty one,
I think we know where they're going to be celebrating
their birthdays.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yeah, I really it is important. I don't know about
you with the kids and stuff, Like I I have
fond memories when I would go to family reunions and
I had one of my cousins gave me like the
first beer I ever had, you know, those kind of
things like I think those are the experiences that you remember.
I don't remember a lot of stuff other than those
kind of weird, standout experiences anyway. All right, enough of that,
(07:07):
let's get to the reason you're here. The mail bag,
and that means Ohio Al. It's all right, thank you
(07:29):
very much, O. Hi the great ohio Al.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
There.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
We love the man, very talented musician. I will meet
him at some point when we do the Ohio Meet
and greet. Let's see who's up first. Dave Dave from Seattle,
beautiful city, Seattle, love it, love it. I've only been
there when the weather's good anyway. Dave says, Hey, Ben,
please tell Danny g to save this one for animal Thunderdome.
I know that Clay will love it, so I love that.
(07:53):
The first message I got Danny is a message for
you to pass on to Clay. He says, there's a
warning out. This is from Dave. He sent me a
news story. A Frankenstein rabbit with tentacles sprouting from their
heads have invaded parts of the US. Do not touch them.
They've been multiple spotted in Fort Collins, Colorado. Grotesque horned
(08:18):
creatures with black tentacle like gross sprouting from their faces
sightings are on the rise with this. This wouldn't make
animal Thunderdome. This is just about a weird Oh I'm
looking at a holy crap.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Okay, there's a story going around Ben about an army
of robot rabbits that they deployed in Florida to fight pythons.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Oh is that right? I'm sending you a photo, Danny
of right.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah, send that. So when you were first saying that,
I thought maybe that's what the story was.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Oh no, no, this is uh that doesn't that look like?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Uh, let me see, I gotta see this one.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah, it's uh it looks like some kind of rash
or fungus is growing on the on the head of
the rabbit. Uh. If it can, it should be in
your uh your f Oh what yeah, it says. These
Frankenstein rabbits have mainly been seen in Colorado. Researchers noted
that the cottontail rabbits throughout the Midwest could become infected.
(09:19):
It's say, it's a rare box.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
It looks like spores on HBO Max. The last of us,
the people that got infected, they grew spores out of
their face, and that's what that looks like.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
It looks like when I was a kid, we had
a lot of eucalyptus trees and every once in a
while they get a fungus on it, and it kind
of looked like that. It's pretty pretty gnarly.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
That is freaky.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
But you're is is that an Animal Thunderdome story? Though
it's not about fighting animal, it's about you know, fungus fighting.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
It would probably get an honorable mention and it's not
something I would like focus on for a whole segment.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Okay, I got you, I got you? And uh is
are you preparing CoA for Animal Thunderdome when that show
starts when he's thirty years old? Are you getting there?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yeah, let's go baby twenty five.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
It's gonna happen, Baby, it is gonna happen. Yes, absolutely,
all right? What is next year? Barry from South Carolina? Yo, Yo,
Mob Benny and Danny Gee. He says, So I'm not
trying to go to the third rail, my man. But
you know what that means, Danny? But yeah, he says,
(10:30):
I've been noticing that Lorena contributes and jumps in often
on discussions, and Roberto and Eddie also chipped in often
when they were on the show. Conversely, it seems like
Coop never says anything except for when he plays the games.
Why doesn't Coop chime in more? Is he smoking a
ball during the show? That's from Barry and I couldn't
(10:50):
answer that. Barry, I have no idea. It would help
us out if he would be more engaged. He's just not.
He's not really engaged in the show. A lot know
what's going on. I do know since Eddie left, and
you know, he didn't leave on his own accord, they
whacked him. But since Eddie left in November, I have
noticed Danny that by the end of the show, my
(11:13):
voice is like shredded chicken. My vocal cords are like
shredded chicken. Doing the four hours with mostly just me
talking for four hours. So it literally at the end
of the show and I feel bad. My wife's like, hey,
she wants to talk to me after the show. She
works overnights at the police station, so like, I want
to call me up, and I'm like, I can't talk
to you. I have to I have to be quiet
(11:35):
literally for like.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Two you're like a singer on voice rest exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I mean, it's it's wild and it's but I don't
know what to tell you, Barry. I mean, he's you know,
I just I'm just happy when Coop shows up before
the show starts.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Anny, I know what part of it is. What's that
I know this from being in that studio with Coop
during your show. He hated it when any of our
voices were al along with yours when you were talking
about something topical in sports, because he was trying to
isolate it during the show to then send it to
Veto and the guys to make a promo.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Out of Oh, okay, I'm looking for the pros.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
That's not the whole thing, but that's part of it
is that he used to be like, nobody say anything.
I want Ben's take on this, because he was trying
to get that work done during the show. Gotcha, Yeah,
I know.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Plomo's that air all the time. Freddy from Ohio. I
don't know where. It's rather a large state, Freddie, he
does not say his Saison from Ohio says, hey, Ben
and Danny g here's another question about the show. Danny says,
how come every time some caller takes a shot at Lorena,
we get a bunch of fans on social media, creating chaos.
He says, well, Freddy, listen, what do you want me
(12:52):
to do? I have worked with women on Karen Ka,
Miranda Marino, some other women along the way, and I
have no problem. I work with anybody. I don't care.
But one thing about women, Danny I've noticed is it's
it's girl power. It's like a double edged sword with
women on sports radio. And Lorraine has experienced this because
(13:14):
you have some guys who, no matter what she does,
will defend her and her honor because she's a woman.
And then there's other guys that are like, I hate
all women who are on sports radio, and so I'm
going to try to tear her down.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Women in talk radio are very polarizing.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, some people, no matter what she does, people love her.
And then there's other people no matter what she says,
she could solve cancer, and people will be like fuck her.
You know. So it's like this weird it's this weird
thing is always every woman I've worked with, it's the
same thing. You know. I was just trying to do
a good show. I don't care who I mean. I
want to work with people that are engaged and want
to be part of it and all that stuff, and yeah,
(13:56):
but it is interesting, Freddie, I don't know what to Yeah,
don't know what else to say.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Let somebody personally offends you and says their name on
the air while they're doing it. Just be nice to
the whole crew.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah, just be nice to people. It's not you know,
it's not that big. And now we do have a
Big Lou from the LBC road in and Glue. He's
on number two. I love Glue. I love Big Lou.
Big Lou's great, good people. He's been to the studio
a few times. Love him. Big fan of the show.
He's always support us. He works at the dreaded day
shift and he always tries to go to these mallor
(14:30):
meet and greets. He was supposed to go to Vancouver.
He missed his flight. He's gonna be in Vason. We
will be doing a mallor meet and greet this coming Saturday.
Today is Sunday, so we got it through a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday and boom Saturday. It's gonna it's on. It is on,
like don't get gong and if you missed it, and
(14:50):
I probably should have mentioned this on Friday, and Saturdays podcast.
But the Mallar Meet Greets coming up this Saturday, that
is the twenty third of of August, from three o'clock
till five o'clock. It's at the same venue we were
at last year. Our buddy Slug the hostess with the moss.
You can get the Steakout Bar and Grill. The Steakout
(15:11):
Bar and Grill forty eight hundred South Maryland Park. We
it's right near the UNLV campus and right there, right
there near UNLV at least till five will prob be
there longer than that. It's gonna be upstairs. Steak Out
Bar and Grills really cool. There'll be a special menu
with malor themed food items just for that day. There'll
be a stage there, a little stage, guys can do
(15:33):
some karaoke, and we're just gonna have a good time.
We hangout, have fun, tell stories. I'll be there, Coop
will be there, Loreno will be there. I did invite Eddie. Obviously,
it's a little awkward because he's not on the show.
I'd said, hey, if you want to come promote the
podcast you're doing, we'd love to have you. I don't
think he'll be able to make it, but we would
love to see you there. I bring this up because
Big Lou reached out to me from the LBC. He says,
(15:56):
any Malad militia members who are attending the upcoming Vegas
meet and greet and are interested in and attending the
u n l V game it's early afternoon on that Saturday,
holler back. He says. He wanted me to mention that
on on this podcast. So now, how do how do you?
Big Lou didn't say how you want me to contact
(16:17):
these people? So I can. I don't think you want
me to give out your email address?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
And uh, anyway, so Big Lou, do you want me
to give Big Lou's Twitter handle?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Maybe? Yeah, yeah, if you if you can find it,
I don't have it in front of me.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
If you can, yeah, I'll get it right now.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Big Lou's a big support of the show, and good
dude loves hockey, which is you know, he's not perfect.
He's not perfect because he loves hockey and the u
n W is playing like Idaho State or something like that.
I believe something along those lines on Saturday afternoon. It's
a one.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Yeah, I have his handle?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Okay, what is this? Is this is on social media,
So contact Big Lou if you want to go. You
want to see a little unw football and then go
over with the you know, fans of the show. Go ahead,
Danny was it?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Yeah, this is on X, which will always be Twitter
to us. Yeah, at e I G underscore l u
U at e I G underscore l u U.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Okay, So that's Big Lou and you know, good guy.
You get together some of the fans and we'll you
guys can come over the little pregame. Some of the
boys like the pregame and then make your way over
to the to the venue and well we'll hang out.
And the reason we're doing it in the afternoon is
because we want you to go to Vegas on Friday
and we want you to stay out all night and
(17:34):
do bad things, and then we want you to recover
by three o'clock and then go out again at that
night and do more bad things. Reggie from Detroit writes
and says, Ben, when can we get some details on
where to watch Benny Versus the Penny twenty twenty five?
Since the peacock dropped the ball, Reggie says, have you
got a backup plan? Well, Reggie I'm not ready to
(17:57):
announce the backup plan we are f there's a couple
of things that are going on, and the way I'll
answer this, and also Danny, the way I'll answer this,
we will both get the reference because we're old. Do
you remember Indiana Jones, the Indiana Jones movie franchise, the
Originals back in the day.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
How can we forget that?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
One of my favorite scenes in that Remember the scene
it was the first Indiana Jones movie when someone asked
Indy what he's going to do next, and he replied,
I don't know. I'm making it up as we go along,
right Like there's something like that, I don't know. I'm
making this up as I go not that I'm making
it up. We do have some tentative outlines of what
(18:39):
we're planning on doing. There is a wild card that
could change things dramatically that I'm not going to talk
about publicly here other than just some stuff that's in
the works that if things break right and it's like
the Hail Mary pass in the back of the end
zone and you win the game. I'm not expecting that
to happen. But the reasons I'm not announcing anything is
(19:01):
because that's still a possibility, so I'll let you know, Reggie.
As you know, also, Danny, I am not afraid to
promote things. I am not afraid to just end up
going crazy and promoting stuff. So well, not at all.
You'll let you know. Conspiracy theory Carl Right, since says, Hey, bandon, Danny,
I enjoy the podcast. While I am drinking my coffee,
(19:26):
he says, I know this isn't coast to coast, but
you know what that means. He wants to talk coast
to coast. Do you believe the entire universe is connected?
He sent story, Danny. He says scientists are baffled after
spotting the eye of Sourn in deep space. He sent
this story conspiracy theory Carl I, who did not say
(19:49):
where he's from. I don't know where he's listening, but
he says the Eye of Soren is an integral part
of the Lord of the Rings series, and he says
experts have d tilled a similarly terrifying vision in real life.
It says the uh, this is from deep space and
I don't know this. I'm gonna send you this story, Danny.
(20:10):
It looks to me like, uh, well, first of all
the photo that's in the story. It kind of looks
like when a woman's pregnant and early on in the
pregnancy and you kind of look at the you know,
the little thing that's gonna be a baby, but it's not.
It's pretty small and you can't really make it out.
It kind of looks like that. But this is like patternicity.
(20:33):
This thing is you know scientists fire talking about an ultrasound.
It's an ultra yeah, exactly, ultrasound. So me let me
click on this. I'm gonna copy and paste this in.
I'm gonna send this and can be on your phone.
It's it's sending there's a thing circling right now, and
then it's been doo.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Doom, doom, doom, doom, doom boom, like to alert all
the affiliates down the line that Ben Maller is texting
something right now.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Yes, but not mine. This came from conspiracy. You're at Carl,
so it's not it's not mine. This is from Carl.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
That looks like like a neon milky way.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Okay, yeah, yeah, for sure. I don't know that the
eye of souron is it's again patternicity.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Would you rather get lost in the middle of the
sea or the middle of space.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I'd go I'd go ocean. What about you?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
You'd go water? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Go water. I could because I can tread water. I
feel like I know how to tread water. Preto no ox.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Yeah, I'm not as confident in my swimming skills, So
I think I would choose space. You would, okay, Yeah,
I'd like to look down on everyone for once.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Wouldn't it be if even in space and you're looking
back at Earth and you thought that is everything, that
little like plant, that's everything in humanity is right there?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Yeah, a little marble.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Your mind explode and like, I don't know, it's uh,
it's crazy anyway, that's conspiracy theory. Carl Marcus in nolence,
all right, sin, He says, guys, there's a story out
this week that said, uh, they want to make toothpaste
(22:16):
from human hair. They say it could repair damage teeth
better than fluoride based products. Are you guys on board?
So from from Marcus, I really haven't thought much about it. Danny,
would you run out and buy a toothpaste made of
human hair?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
So what did it have to be from a blonde?
Because my teeth are yellow?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Yeah, that's a good it's a good point. I don't
know what do you want me? What am I supposed
to do with that? Come on, Marcus, I don't know.
My wife will probably buy it. She'll hear it on
some podcasts somewhere. This is gonna make your teeth butter,
and you're gonna live, you know, seven years longer.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
You know.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
It's like, fine, whatever, let's see Joe from New York, right,
since here's another yet, Danny, this is just people sending
me animal stories for your stupid animal thunderdome, which is
not even a thing yet, because it's you're waiting on class.
Just a Brooklyn somebody in Brooklyn, I guess this is
(23:19):
not This is not Uncle Uncle Moe because Uncle Moe's
in Jersey now, he says, Brooklyn. Or maybe it's Marcel.
Someone in Brooklyn pled guilty to trying to smuggle eight
hundred and fifty protected turtles worth one point four million
dollars million dollars. Guy in Brooklyn plug guilty, and Joe
(23:42):
sent the story here. He was attempting to export more
than two hundred twenty parcels condading around eight hundred fifty
Eastern box turtles three toed box turtles to Hong Kong
turtles smuggling. He labeled the turtles as plastic animal toys.
Turns out they weren't. Blah blah blah. This this actually
(24:03):
happened a couple years ago, but the he's just been
it's worked its way through the legal system with one
point four million.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I mean, speaking of smuggling turtles, there's a story about
a woman who tried to get past TSA with two turtles.
She stuck them in.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Her bra I like turtles, Wow, was she? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:22):
And one in one of the turtles got smothered to death.
Oh that's not it's that dumb bitch.

sentenced on December twenty thirty. The max penalty on this
is five years in prison, three years of supervise, supervise released,
and a fine of up to two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars or twice the gain or loss from the

whatever to.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Me that if, but alligators don't like us.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
No, they know they're not they're not big fans of

It's the mail bag. Blah blah blah blah blah. Uh
kJ from San Jose, he says, yes, I know the
way to San Jose, says Benny, and no Penny. But
Danny g He says, Ben, I know you like to bet.
Will you be betting on the Robot Fight Club? So
(25:30):
I actually mentioned this the other night on the radio, Danny,
we brought this up. So there's a startup in the
Bay Area. I guess kJ must have missed that part
of the show. Anyway, there's a startup in the Bay
Area and in San Francisco. They're creating a new sport
in which robots, robots piloted remotely by people, will battle
(25:56):
inside cages. The sport would mix a little bit of
martial arts, pro wrestling and the tech world and also anime.
And they're gonna, you know, intermingle and all that stuff.
And they say it's going to be the next they're
claiming they're the promoters the next. Ufc Uh says that one.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
We've heard that before.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
A guy walks around and he has full swords. You
can feel the pounding on the ground. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
This sounds like something we heard about Danny in the
nineteen eighties. You know, we're gonna have robots fighting robots
and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
I we did have that TV show for a for
a while, the Robot Wars. Remember, Yes, yeah, I do,
I do.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Yeah, you know this is this is like next level.
This is gonna they say it's gonna be fully mainstream
once people can really feel this and see, it'll be
fully mainstream. How do you bet on that? Wouldn't that
be easy to rig? All all boxing and MMA stuff's
easy to rig because.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
You're this was well in. Robots have become far more advanced. Now.
Did you see the footage of that robot that was
just walking down the street in Detroit?
Speaker 1 (27:05):
No, I don't think I saw it.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
No, if you google robot walking in Detroit, it's freaky looking.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Oh, here we go. I found this is a human
sized robot strolling down Detroit seven mile.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Yeah, I'm looking at it. Oh, imagine if that's what
they have right now, imagine what's gonna be like in
five years.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Yeah, it's a humanoid. Two of these in the boxing
ring pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Yeah, Hey, if you can bet on it, I'm in.
If you can bet on it, I why not? What
the hell go for it? So that's my philosophy, although
I'd like to have inside information on which bot has
the more advanced technology and all that. All right, we'll
get out on that note. I will be back tonight.
I know I missed the Friday show. I was away
(27:58):
the rare and appropriate trip away. I'll be back. You
guys have had a crazy schedule with Covino and Rich.
What's the schedule like this week? Are you guys filling in?
You back to the normal schedule? What's going on?
Speaker 3 (28:11):
As far as I know, we're back to the regular schedule,
But there's some moving parts still going on because, as
you know, everybody's scrambling around to get their final last
days off.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yeah, for sure, man, you get to those days and
once the NFL season starts, you got it. I need you,
my man would need you to be there. Come on,
