Kabooms.
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 sol fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
In the penthouse.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Wow to clearinghouse of hot takes, break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
In the air andvery way. The Fifth Hour with me,
Ben Maller and Danny G Radio and a happy, happy
football Sunday here early in the morning, on this fourteenth
day of September, as we have NFL football all day
(00:51):
and little mailbag action here with myself and the great
did any G Radio kickoff the day? Now we say
the kickoff off the day and then I'll get email
from people. You know, Ben, I listened to the Fifth
Hour podcast on Wednesday. I don't listen on Sunday morning.
I'm watching football on Sundays. Okay, that's fine, but we
record the podcast orally. So that's why we say that
(01:13):
is well, you shouldn't say that. Why should we not
say that? I don't I don't know. Should we make
this more Evergreen Danny, Are we too specific about when.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
We're doing this now? I like the way it goes,
and listeners that I've spoken to like the way that
we do it. So I think it's so in your face.
Why change something that's been working for years exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I can't believe how long this podcast has been on,
By the way, I thought this thing would last like
a year and then that's it.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
It's a nice timeline too, for the three days, because
even me, when I listen back to make sure everything
is technically sound, I like the fact that I know
where I'm at through the three day weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yeah. Yeah, so there you go. So your hater, screw you,
That's what I'm saying. And today's National eat a Hogy Day,
so make sure to.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Eat a hogy. Yeah. That's funny too, because that's something
that our grandparents said a lot. Right, you guys, you
want to go to the park and get some hogies
and bring them there with us and do a picnic.
We well, we would always look the younger people in
the family. We would always look at each other and
like hogies.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Now there is a I fell down this again. I
fall down these rabbit holes because I like Where does
the term HOGI come from?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Right?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
We know the term right? I mean, there's no unless
I fell down the wrong rabbit, Like, there's no real.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Point of origin.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Like the sandwiches were made for lunches during World War
One that era, and they were like Italian immigrants worked
at One of the theories is they worked at the hall.
It's a place called the hog Island Shipyard. And the
original name Hogies was actually Hoggies and it was it
(03:03):
became Hogies. That's one theory. There's another theory that there
was a restaurant call I forget the name, it was
in England and then the sandwiches were donated by a
deli owner from Philadelphia. I mean, there's a there's no
consensus on where the term hogy came. I don't know
(03:23):
why I'm even saying this, but it's national. Itatahogy Day
Hogies as they're known today. They believe they came from
the Philadelphia area about one hundred years ago. About one
hundred years ago, and the name has has been changed
over the years. I guess it was originally spelled a
little differently. But enough of that. The mailbag, Ohio, al,
(03:45):
can you get me in the mood ohio al form
the mailbag please.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
It's.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
All right, thank you for that. Now, first up is
Scott from Florida. Hello Scott, he says, Hey, Ben and Danny,
it sounds like you print these emails out and read
them off the old school paper. I only mentioned this
because I did forget to sign my email last week,
which you read, thank you. But I always assumed you
(04:23):
just read them off the computer screen, so no need
to sign, he says, since my name is right there, Well.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Ben rips them off the ap wire.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. What I use is I have a typewriter.
I retype them. Danny, I don't have a printer, a typewriter,
and I just typed them up. And this is it
takes a long time, and I know, so we generally
encourage you to put your name and city and even
if like you're a regular Scott, and I appreciate you
because you've been loyal and you send a lot of
email over the time that you've been listening to the podcast,
(04:55):
and so it's pretty cool. Just I'm usually putting the
together at the last minute. I'm normally somewhat tired, so
needless to say, it just helps the process. I don't
actually normally print them out. I don't. But what I
do is I clip them, copy them and paste them
into one big file that has all the mail, so
(05:19):
I can just kind of go through it quickly. That way,
I don't have to open eight million emails and I
just kind of go through. So I'll copy what you
wrote and then put it in a in a big
file and that's it. Anyway, Scott says, I'm forty six,
and though I worked in the Dark Ages, I thought
I worked in the Dark Ages. He says, But that's
some pretty classic stuff, he said. No, I don't use
(05:40):
paper anyway. Do you do you print them out?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I don't print them out, No, he says.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Ps.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
My son, Carter says, Hi, and ask me why the
other radio guys always talk about the Yankees And Carter
is six years old. Any advice on how to have
the talk about East Coast bias with him at a
young age? Yeah, sure, Scott. We'll just tell young Carter
that so many people in the media are from New
(06:08):
York and they grew up talking about only New York
sports teams.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
There's your friend Bruno.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
That's right, because they because they grew up. They grew
up watching New York teams. And there's also it's not
so much East coastpies. It's it's, as I like to say, broadcasting,
not narrow casting, where we generally end up talking about
the Yankees, the Cowboys, the Lakers because they have huge followings,
(06:40):
and we are doing broadcasting, we're not doing narrow casting.
And I get ripped a lot Danny and you Scott
as well, because I'll do a monologue, I'll mention the
Jacksonville Jaguars in a monologue. We're all all rant about
the Texas Rangers or the Royals, and I like, what
are you doing those teams? You should not be like
(07:00):
some people get so offendive. We talk about teams that
are not at the very top of the mountain when
it comes to popularity in sports. And I've never I'm
interested by all the teams for the most part, but
I part of the job is you do have to
appeal to a broad audience. So that's one of the reasons.
And then also most of the media companies are headquartered
(07:21):
in New York, and like we said, the guys grow
up fans in New York teams and every radio station.
I've been in radio, the radio business. I can't believe
how long it's been. It's been a long been a
long time, and everywhere I've worked, from my first gig
in San Diego to filling jobs in all over the country.
I've done filling gigs in Boston and Denver, Seattle, other Portland, Oregon, everywhere.
(07:44):
I've even done filling jobs. There's always a Jets fan.
There's always a Mets fan. There's always a Knicks fan. Yeah,
everyone in those places.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
When you talk Jags on your overnight, this is what
I do. Oh my.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Wah.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Yeah, that was Holler and James back in the day.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
He's not as prime anyway. He's okay now as a snorer.
I'd also appreciate it if he stopped calling up saying, hey,
I've been I'm in my birthday suit. I'd also appreciate that.
Next up on the mail bag, ferg Dog in Fullerton
writes in these are actual letters by actual listeners. If
you'd like to send a letter in for a future
mail bag, you can do that right now. You can
(08:27):
do that later. But if you forget, if you don't
do it now, you'll probably forget. You'll probably forget. But
if you would like to send a message in make
sure put name and city Scott in Florida, name and city.
Put that in there and then send it to Ben Mahler.
All right, No, that's the wrong email oters. I was
(08:49):
going to give out the wrong email out.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
You said it with your chest out too.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, a real fifth hour, all letters, no numbers, real
fifth hour at gmail dot com. That's a real fifth
hour at gmail dot com. Freg Dog and Fullerton Right,
since its hello, Ben and Danny g I'm sure you
both were thrilled that football was back, and I'm most
excited to be back as well live read season. He's
(09:13):
very excited about that. Yeah, it's a big time if
you're a fan of the live reads. A lot of
live reies now. Fregduck says, I'm worried about your voice though, Ben,
with all the live reads and no Eddie, you barely
have any time to rest your vocal cords all show. However,
I have a solution. What do you think about breaking
out the dance floor and playing bumper music.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
In the middle of every hour.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
If you don't like that idea, just play a few
minutes of hollering. James snoring, or let Marcel and Brooklyn
try his hand at the update kill that you gotta
do something to protect your voice.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Ben.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
That's from Freg Duggy.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
This is wild. We just played Holler and James snoring.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I know, we just did.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Like the timing. This it's it's like some kind of
it's it's all everything's programmed, Danny. It's all a simulation.
It's all part of the simulation. Uh So, thank you
for that. For I'm glad you're worried about my my voice.
It's actually done better lately. I'm not sure why. It
was really tough. I had a kind of a sinus
(10:19):
thing that was causing the issues for a while. And
get out of phlegm, and I felt like I was
playing defense for the Philadelphia Eagles. We'll be playing the
Kansas City Chiefs later today in one of the big
matchups in the NFL. And uh so, yeah, And and
no Raider game for you today, Danny's are you gonna
watch the NFL?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Are you gonna know?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Raiders? So they don't play till tomorrow night, right playing
on Monday.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Of course, I'm gonna watch the NFL. I paid for
the Sunday ticket and damn it. I'm gonna get every
penny's worth out of my money.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
All right, I got you.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
No, I love. I love watching all teams, not just mine. Okay,
all right, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Watch that Chiefs Eagles game. You'll be a fly Eagles.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Yeah, let's go Eagle.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Vigtrry all right. Next up, Alf from the Big Eie.
It's New England's Great State Fair. Greetings gentlemen. Then, now
that Benny versus the Penny is back on YouTube, does
this mean that you are up for a great New
England food tour courtesy of the Alfmobile. Absolutely, Alf, I
(11:22):
can live through you and I there's a lot of
wonderful food in the New England States, and I've only
scratched the surface. As you know, Alf, I've been to
Boston many times, but I usually end up eating Italian
food on the North End because that's what I like.
And there's a few other restaurants sprinkled around there that
I'll enjoy it. But if you know places, yes, Alf,
(11:46):
we can send us photos and let us know how much.
Make sure you put the prices in there, let us
know how much everything is.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Absolutely, did you hear al michaels On Thursday night talk
about the Parsons Texas Roadhouse thing.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
No I missed that.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Take a listener real quick.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Here.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
We're talking to Parshes the other day. You know, it's
one thing to get acclimated to the play on the field,
he said, what about off the field?
Speaker 3 (12:10):
He said, Well, they gave me a big truck.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
I got an Airbnb, and I'm eating a Texas Roadhouse.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
He told us he weighs two forty eight.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Once he get to two forty, I said, he going
to get into Texas Roadhouse.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Better find a vegan place. He called.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Because he is he talking about like in Appleton or
in Green Bay?
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Like, yeah, yeah, there's a Texas Roadhouse there. I guess
that's where he's been going for every meal since he arrived.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
You got to go to Appleton because that's where the
action is. You know, there's like three restaurants in Appleton.
There's only one in Green Bay, but there's three restaurants
over in Appleton, So there's a there's actually a pretty
good brewery in Appleton and the Appleton I have a
hat here.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
When I went with my brother, I got a hack.
I can't I can't wait to cross that off my
bucket list. I've been wanting to go to Lamb for
a while.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Hey, you want to stay at my brother's house. Yeah,
I'll use his Lufa exactly. Steve from the Bay rites
and he says, Ben and Danny, is this new Apple
headphone thing exciting or is this more alien technology? Apparently
(13:23):
Apple's got new headphones out, Danny that can translate, according
to Steve here foreign languages in real time. That sounds amazing.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
WHOA, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
That sounds Steve says, they did this in Star Trek
back and they really like it's a Star Trek communicator
or something like that. Well, Steve, first of all, this
is the first I'm hearing about it. Bad job by me. Secondly, yes,
at some point the wife wants to drag me to
a bunch of countries where they don't speak English, which
I'm okay with. But I'm a little scared because I
(13:55):
only speak English. So if I had those headphones, I
can go down to my and have a conversation with somebody,
I go to Beijing, knock yourself out wherever. That would
open up the whole world if.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
It actually works. Those language teaching companies hate this. Oh,
you're right, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Rosetta Stone, They're like,
screw you Apple. Yeah, it says Apple just announced Live
translation for AirPods Pro three, powered by Apple Intelligence. It
translates live conversations directly in your air starting with English, French, German, Portuguese,
(14:30):
and Spanish.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Okay, so it doesn't have Russian, Chinese would be really
that's a tough Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
I guess they're going to add other languages.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Yeah. Oh that's great though. I mean that right you uh,
you've done any international traveling, Danny, I have ever. No,
I've never done that either. So I'm concerned, like what
if I go somewhere nobody, I can't talk to anybody,
Like what do I do?
Speaker 4 (14:53):
By the time you and I get to travel like that,
it'll be in a flying car and we'll have these
air pods in Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Well, speaking of that, Orlando that's his name, not his city.
He did not say where he's from. Bad job by him,
Orlando writes in He says he enjoys the podcast. This
is the first time he's ever written to a podcast. Well,
thank you. You always remember your first time. You will
remember this for many many years to come. Anyway, he says,
(15:24):
the new crash proof plane is in development? Are we
never going to have plane crashes again? And then he
sent me a link here to this is I guess
an A. I don't think this is legit. By the way, Orlando,
it's AI. The plane is supposed to use the AI here.
(15:45):
Danny's got huge air bags. When the engine is failing,
the air bags are activated.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
That doesn't sound real, all right?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
And plus if the engine fails, how would the air
bags be activated because the engine is not working?
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Have you seen the photo on this? Holy crap, this
is hilarious.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
No, I'm googling it right now. I want to know.
I want to see who did this AI.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
This is hilarious. So it's got It looks like the
Staypuff Marshmallow plane and it triggers fast deploying airbags at
the nose, belly, and tail of the plane. What if
it lands not? What if it knows dives head first?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
You know, let me I can. I can send this
over you and I see you listening or live coverage.
It is the fifth hour podcast live on tape, and
there's the the plane. I don't think that's gonna if
that thing lands crashes from thirty thousand feet or whatever
in the sky.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
I don't think that's gonna it's gonna matter much. I'm
reading something here from the New York Post. It says
engineers unveil a Bonker's prototype for crash proof plane following
Air India disaster. Says that Project Rebirth is the first
AI powered crash survival system. Reads the description of the
(17:14):
Pillowy protective measure on the site. It deploys smart air bags,
impact absorbing fluids, and reverse thrust mid air, turning fatal
crashes into survivable landings. Oh yeah, I'm looking at the
picture right now. Looks like a cartoonist did it right.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
It does not look good.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
It's like a ball sack on top and bottom of
the plane.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
According to the story Orlando sent me, it's got keV lar.
That's keV lar. That the thing that looks like the airbag.
I guess it is. It's air and foam. They claim
inner layer has some other craft. I don't know what
that is, but supposed.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
To be a So this is AI engineered. They want
to try to you a prototype like this. Okay, yeah,
so it is not Actually it's not a thing. I
got you.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Thank you for that.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Orlando.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
I appreciate that. Who's next on the mailbag?
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Rick?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Right Sin also did not say his name. What was
going on with you idiots? Is it that hard to
say where you're from? Is it that difficult to say
where you're from? Rick says, Hey, not to go full
coast to coast on you guys. But NASA this week
claimed that they have clear signs of life on Mars.
(18:37):
Does this interest you, guys? Of course it does, Rick.
What human being would not be interested in that? And
they they claim NASA's they were going to deliver some
monumental news about Mars. They had an announcement this week.
What do you think they found? They said? I guess
(18:57):
the sciences are excited, says, this is a new story.
Sciences are excited because the rock on Mars might contain
bio signatures, which are chemical clues that could hint of
ancient microble life on Mars. Okay, so they're trying to
find martial I mean, okay, that's fine. Do you think
(19:20):
NASA's is gonna randomly announced Danny on like, I don't know,
Wednesday or Thursday. Hey, by the way, we found some goblins.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
How many years would it take to travel to Mars.
If you're going that far, you're gonna find another life form.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
I would hope I would hope he finds them. Anyway,
let's see what is next. Reggie from Detroit. Hello Reggie,
he says, Hey, Bndon Danny. I saw some of you
guys were upset that you did not talk about Charlie
Kirk being murdered on the show. How did you handle
handle that? Says Reggie. Obviously we don't live in a bubble, right, Dan,
(19:57):
we were aware. I don't know how Covino and Rich
in the other shows handle it. But my theory, and
I don't always follow this, but my general theory is
that we do specialization. We sell cheeseburgers. We don't sell pizza.
We sell cheeseburgers what we do here, and if you
want pizza, you can find pizza. If you want cheeseburgers,
(20:18):
you come to us. It's kind of like the in
and Out philosophy. Reggie and I've talked about this as well.
But for those that are new to the show, like
In and Out had the mantra, let's just do one
thing and we're going to do it really well, that's it,
and there when they opened up over in the San
Gabriel Valley in La Here in Baldwin Park, they had
three items in and out, had three items on their menu.
(20:39):
They had burgers, fries, and shakes. And that was back
probably like the nineteen forties or something like that. And here,
all these years later, they still only have three items
that they have on their menu, like three main items, burgers, fries,
and shakes. So that's you know, that's it. And plus
I don't know that I don't know that I need
to add anything to the compost. Add I think it's
(21:01):
you know, horrible anytime somebody and murdered.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
That's what I was gonna say, was that you had
the not luxury, but the time slot you're on. Everybody's
kind of already reacted to it in the media. When
C and R were on that afternoon, it was breaking
news that he was pronounced dead. So the guys had
to react to it. And they didn't spend the whole
show talking about it, but their opening segment they discussed
(21:28):
it a little bit and they said sports provides unity
and healing, and so we'll try to have some fun
and you know, move forward with today. And I think
that's kind of the best way to handle it when
you're in the moment.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Yeah, for sure. I was not a consumer of I
guess he was a big political commentator. I didn't i'd
heard the name. I guess he had been on some
of the Joe Rogan or something. I don't know, but
I whatever. It's a sad situation.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
And you've seen in the following days how it's become
divisive with people going back and forth at each other.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Oh yeah, everything is divisive. You know. There were what
I saw when I was looking at the story because
like everyone else, I mean, the thing that I would
like to complain about, the main complaint is I I
don't know about you, daddy, but I had no less
than three people, unsolicited, unsolicited, send me the video of
(22:24):
the murder. I didn't know what I was clicking. The
first time I thought, I thought it was Ai. I said,
what is that? And then it's all around the same
time when the thing, I guess popped up on social media.
And I don't know about you, but I don't When
I was a kid, remember those you were you around
(22:45):
my age, Remember those videos like faces of Death or
something like that course showed, Yeah, those those were those
were like contraband. When I was in junior high school
and high school, people would pass those around. Oh you
see that guy, you know getting kicked over by the
train or whatever.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
But I didn't really.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I was never into that stuff. Like I don't want
to see that. I'm good, you know, I've seen as
many people die as I want to see die. That's it.
I don't need to see that, and certainly not that way.
And they like, who does it? At least say hey,
don't click on this if you know you don't want
to see you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Like, I don't.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
It annoyed me, that bothered me. So anyway, Stand from Harrisburg,
PA writes in he says, I know you guys have
talked about this on the podcast in the past. It
just happened again. I want to see if Danny can
use this for animal Thunderdome. There is when is that
animal thing happening? Danny's any update on that? Probably not right.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
The latest update is that the contract for this thing
has been on Clay's desk for four weeks. I don't
know what is going on from there. This is just
going to be in a holding pattern forever. So we've
joked in the past that it's just endlessly going to
continue with no resolve, and it sure looks like it's
headed that way. CoA. Bryant g is going to be
(24:03):
the host of this thing with Clay's fifteen year old
coming up in about ten years.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah, that's that's gonna happen. Well, anyway, sent this story.
I guess it's more for you than me. A guy
in his estate there in Pennsylvania has spoken out after
their emotional support alligator has been banned from Walmart.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Yeah I saw this, Oh you did?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Okay, so you're already aware of that. Okay, Uh, how
does one have an emotional support?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Like?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
How do people allow that to happen? You know what
I mean? I guess it's a little alligant, right, It's
like a baby alligator, but it's still an allegant.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Yeah, it's a cute little walllygator.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
What are you doing? And don't those things? But don't
those things grow?
Speaker 3 (24:45):
What do you do?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
You can only have it till it gets to a
certain size and then you got to get rid of it.
Is that how that works?
Speaker 4 (24:50):
I think there's some that stay little Oh really okay.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Wasn't the guy like he's in he's an older he's
older than us. The guy that has that, that's like,
what are you doing? Man? How do you get one
of those? By the way, what is there? Is there
a website alligators dot com?
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Do you remember the Wally Gator cartoon when we were
kids and we saw reruns of.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Oh yeah, yeah, I remember that vaguely and back in
the day for sure. Anyway, I don't you saw the story, Danny,
so you know, I don't.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
What do you want me?
Speaker 1 (25:27):
I'm amazed that somebody would want to have an emotional
support alligator. And how does the alligator actually support you?
Because it doesn't eat you, So it's supporting you. Is
that what that is? It doesn't eat you? So that's
a good thing, yes, man?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
All right.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Next up, Paul from La La land rights In says
he lives mid Wilster. I used to live near there.
I used to live in Park Librea massive apartment complex,
which is not far from what's kind of in that corridor,
the Wilson Corridor over there. If you're familiar with La anyway,
Paul writes in says, Hey, Ben, I know you guys,
I know you're a gamb but I don't know about
(26:03):
Danny g Have you ever gotten so far on the
whole you thought about doing what this this guy did?
And then he sent me a link from Twitter and
the link says that a passenger was arrested for jumping
overboard off a cruise ship. Now, why did he jump
(26:24):
overboard off a cruise ship? According to the story that
Paul sent me, this is that Actually I didn't see.
This is actually pretty funny. So apparently this guy Dan,
according to this story, lost sixteen thousand dollars gambling on
the boat and he thought, rather than pay the sixteen
(26:46):
thousand dollars, he would just jump over the outside and
swim away on the Royal Caribbean boat.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
And that was it. That is.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
That's like big balls from Vegas is what that is?
That is Wow, jeez, this happened? What has happened? September seventh,
US Customs and Border Protection officials were conducting the screening
and the man in question was hauled out of the
water by an accomplice and there he was quickly able
(27:23):
to track him down in Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico. Ho,
don't you usually die when you fall off a cruise ship?
Like that's Those things are massive. Those are like skyscrapers
and the sea. I I remember when I was visiting
my brother a couple of years back in the York.
(27:44):
We were over in Brooklyn and they had like I guess,
it goes from New York down to Florida. And as I,
if you fall, that you're done. That's it. Forget about
not being able to be found out in the in
the ocean. Anyway, We'll get out on that.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
You're gonna end on a death story.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Huh well, you know, listen, we got to appeal to
all people, Danny, and some people love death. There's the
ghouls out there, they love that stuff.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Enjoy the NFL games today.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Yeah, looking forward to it. And that Chiefs Eagles games.
That's a humdinger of a game. Looking forward to that.
And not a great Sunday night game tonight. I'm not
gonna you know, Vikings and Falcons doesn't do a lot
for me. But the Chiefs and the Chiefs and the Eagles,
that definitely does something for me.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
And go Raiders on Monday night. Hello, Hello, hello.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
The Raiders, the Raiders.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Can you hear me? Hello?
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Yeah, now I can. Yeah, you came back I'm back.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
The gremlins are attacking Danny. We're being attacked by the gremlins.
The gremlins are attacking us, Danny, g radio.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
You better jump in your car and drive over to
Sherman Oaks. I'll get you on the telephone while you're.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
I'll do that.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
I'll be I'll be there, Yeah, I'll be there here
in three days. With the traffic, I'll be there in
three days.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
We'll have Eddie Garcia fill in right now, little taste.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yes, well, we'll have Eddie, and then we'll have.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
We'll have Coop.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
We'll have Coop do the updates. Yeah, later, skater, But
I I want to mount it.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Asta fasta is it?
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Is it spaghetti? When we feed Aicini? I don't care.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
I'm leaving.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Goodbye, gotta murder, I gotta go.
Kabooms.
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 sol fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
In the penthouse.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Wow to clearinghouse of hot takes, break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
In the air andvery way. The Fifth Hour with me,
Ben Maller and Danny G Radio and a happy, happy
football Sunday here early in the morning, on this fourteenth
day of September, as we have NFL football all day
(00:51):
and little mailbag action here with myself and the great
did any G Radio kickoff the day? Now we say
the kickoff off the day and then I'll get email
from people. You know, Ben, I listened to the Fifth
Hour podcast on Wednesday. I don't listen on Sunday morning.
I'm watching football on Sundays. Okay, that's fine, but we
record the podcast orally. So that's why we say that
(01:13):
is well, you shouldn't say that. Why should we not
say that? I don't I don't know. Should we make
this more Evergreen Danny, Are we too specific about when.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
We're doing this now? I like the way it goes,
and listeners that I've spoken to like the way that
we do it. So I think it's so in your face.
Why change something that's been working for years exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I can't believe how long this podcast has been on,
By the way, I thought this thing would last like
a year and then that's it.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
It's a nice timeline too, for the three days, because
even me, when I listen back to make sure everything
is technically sound, I like the fact that I know
where I'm at through the three day weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yeah. Yeah, so there you go. So your hater, screw you,
That's what I'm saying. And today's National eat a Hogy Day,
so make sure to.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Eat a hogy. Yeah. That's funny too, because that's something
that our grandparents said a lot. Right, you guys, you
want to go to the park and get some hogies
and bring them there with us and do a picnic.
We well, we would always look the younger people in
the family. We would always look at each other and
like hogies.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Now there is a I fell down this again. I
fall down these rabbit holes because I like Where does
the term HOGI come from?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Right?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
We know the term right? I mean, there's no unless
I fell down the wrong rabbit, Like, there's no real.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Point of origin.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Like the sandwiches were made for lunches during World War
One that era, and they were like Italian immigrants worked
at One of the theories is they worked at the hall.
It's a place called the hog Island Shipyard. And the
original name Hogies was actually Hoggies and it was it
(03:03):
became Hogies. That's one theory. There's another theory that there
was a restaurant call I forget the name, it was
in England and then the sandwiches were donated by a
deli owner from Philadelphia. I mean, there's a there's no
consensus on where the term hogy came. I don't know
(03:23):
why I'm even saying this, but it's national. Itatahogy Day
Hogies as they're known today. They believe they came from
the Philadelphia area about one hundred years ago. About one
hundred years ago, and the name has has been changed
over the years. I guess it was originally spelled a
little differently. But enough of that. The mailbag, Ohio, al,
(03:45):
can you get me in the mood ohio al form
the mailbag please.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
It's.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
All right, thank you for that. Now, first up is
Scott from Florida. Hello Scott, he says, Hey, Ben and Danny,
it sounds like you print these emails out and read
them off the old school paper. I only mentioned this
because I did forget to sign my email last week,
which you read, thank you. But I always assumed you
(04:23):
just read them off the computer screen, so no need
to sign, he says, since my name is right there, Well.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Ben rips them off the ap wire.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. What I use is I have a typewriter.
I retype them. Danny, I don't have a printer, a typewriter,
and I just typed them up. And this is it
takes a long time, and I know, so we generally
encourage you to put your name and city and even
if like you're a regular Scott, and I appreciate you
because you've been loyal and you send a lot of
email over the time that you've been listening to the podcast,
(04:55):
and so it's pretty cool. Just I'm usually putting the
together at the last minute. I'm normally somewhat tired, so
needless to say, it just helps the process. I don't
actually normally print them out. I don't. But what I
do is I clip them, copy them and paste them
into one big file that has all the mail, so
(05:19):
I can just kind of go through it quickly. That way,
I don't have to open eight million emails and I
just kind of go through. So I'll copy what you
wrote and then put it in a in a big
file and that's it. Anyway, Scott says, I'm forty six,
and though I worked in the Dark Ages, I thought
I worked in the Dark Ages. He says, But that's
some pretty classic stuff, he said. No, I don't use
(05:40):
paper anyway. Do you do you print them out?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I don't print them out, No, he says.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Ps.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
My son, Carter says, Hi, and ask me why the
other radio guys always talk about the Yankees And Carter
is six years old. Any advice on how to have
the talk about East Coast bias with him at a
young age? Yeah, sure, Scott. We'll just tell young Carter
that so many people in the media are from New
(06:08):
York and they grew up talking about only New York
sports teams.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
There's your friend Bruno.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
That's right, because they because they grew up. They grew
up watching New York teams. And there's also it's not
so much East coastpies. It's it's, as I like to say, broadcasting,
not narrow casting, where we generally end up talking about
the Yankees, the Cowboys, the Lakers because they have huge followings,
(06:40):
and we are doing broadcasting, we're not doing narrow casting.
And I get ripped a lot Danny and you Scott
as well, because I'll do a monologue, I'll mention the
Jacksonville Jaguars in a monologue. We're all all rant about
the Texas Rangers or the Royals, and I like, what
are you doing those teams? You should not be like
(07:00):
some people get so offendive. We talk about teams that
are not at the very top of the mountain when
it comes to popularity in sports. And I've never I'm
interested by all the teams for the most part, but
I part of the job is you do have to
appeal to a broad audience. So that's one of the reasons.
And then also most of the media companies are headquartered
(07:21):
in New York, and like we said, the guys grow
up fans in New York teams and every radio station.
I've been in radio, the radio business. I can't believe
how long it's been. It's been a long been a
long time, and everywhere I've worked, from my first gig
in San Diego to filling jobs in all over the country.
I've done filling gigs in Boston and Denver, Seattle, other Portland, Oregon, everywhere.
(07:44):
I've even done filling jobs. There's always a Jets fan.
There's always a Mets fan. There's always a Knicks fan. Yeah,
everyone in those places.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
When you talk Jags on your overnight, this is what
I do. Oh my.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Wah.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Yeah, that was Holler and James back in the day.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
He's not as prime anyway. He's okay now as a snorer.
I'd also appreciate it if he stopped calling up saying, hey,
I've been I'm in my birthday suit. I'd also appreciate that.
Next up on the mail bag, ferg Dog in Fullerton
writes in these are actual letters by actual listeners. If
you'd like to send a letter in for a future
mail bag, you can do that right now. You can
(08:27):
do that later. But if you forget, if you don't
do it now, you'll probably forget. You'll probably forget. But
if you would like to send a message in make
sure put name and city Scott in Florida, name and city.
Put that in there and then send it to Ben Mahler.
All right, No, that's the wrong email oters. I was
(08:49):
going to give out the wrong email out.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
You said it with your chest out too.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, a real fifth hour, all letters, no numbers, real
fifth hour at gmail dot com. That's a real fifth
hour at gmail dot com. Freg Dog and Fullerton Right,
since its hello, Ben and Danny g I'm sure you
both were thrilled that football was back, and I'm most
excited to be back as well live read season. He's
(09:13):
very excited about that. Yeah, it's a big time if
you're a fan of the live reads. A lot of
live reies now. Fregduck says, I'm worried about your voice though, Ben,
with all the live reads and no Eddie, you barely
have any time to rest your vocal cords all show. However,
I have a solution. What do you think about breaking
out the dance floor and playing bumper music.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
In the middle of every hour.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
If you don't like that idea, just play a few
minutes of hollering. James snoring, or let Marcel and Brooklyn
try his hand at the update kill that you gotta
do something to protect your voice.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Ben.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
That's from Freg Duggy.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
This is wild. We just played Holler and James snoring.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I know, we just did.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Like the timing. This it's it's like some kind of
it's it's all everything's programmed, Danny. It's all a simulation.
It's all part of the simulation. Uh So, thank you
for that. For I'm glad you're worried about my my voice.
It's actually done better lately. I'm not sure why. It
was really tough. I had a kind of a sinus
(10:19):
thing that was causing the issues for a while. And
get out of phlegm, and I felt like I was
playing defense for the Philadelphia Eagles. We'll be playing the
Kansas City Chiefs later today in one of the big
matchups in the NFL. And uh so, yeah, And and
no Raider game for you today, Danny's are you gonna
watch the NFL?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Are you gonna know?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Raiders? So they don't play till tomorrow night, right playing
on Monday.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Of course, I'm gonna watch the NFL. I paid for
the Sunday ticket and damn it. I'm gonna get every
penny's worth out of my money.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
All right, I got you.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
No, I love. I love watching all teams, not just mine. Okay,
all right, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Watch that Chiefs Eagles game. You'll be a fly Eagles.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Yeah, let's go Eagle.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Vigtrry all right. Next up, Alf from the Big Eie.
It's New England's Great State Fair. Greetings gentlemen. Then, now
that Benny versus the Penny is back on YouTube, does
this mean that you are up for a great New
England food tour courtesy of the Alfmobile. Absolutely, Alf, I
(11:22):
can live through you and I there's a lot of
wonderful food in the New England States, and I've only
scratched the surface. As you know, Alf, I've been to
Boston many times, but I usually end up eating Italian
food on the North End because that's what I like.
And there's a few other restaurants sprinkled around there that
I'll enjoy it. But if you know places, yes, Alf,
(11:46):
we can send us photos and let us know how much.
Make sure you put the prices in there, let us
know how much everything is.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Absolutely, did you hear al michaels On Thursday night talk
about the Parsons Texas Roadhouse thing.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
No I missed that.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Take a listener real quick.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Here.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
We're talking to Parshes the other day. You know, it's
one thing to get acclimated to the play on the field,
he said, what about off the field?
Speaker 3 (12:10):
He said, Well, they gave me a big truck.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
I got an Airbnb, and I'm eating a Texas Roadhouse.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
He told us he weighs two forty eight.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Once he get to two forty, I said, he going
to get into Texas Roadhouse.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Better find a vegan place. He called.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Because he is he talking about like in Appleton or
in Green Bay?
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Like, yeah, yeah, there's a Texas Roadhouse there. I guess
that's where he's been going for every meal since he arrived.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
You got to go to Appleton because that's where the
action is. You know, there's like three restaurants in Appleton.
There's only one in Green Bay, but there's three restaurants
over in Appleton, So there's a there's actually a pretty
good brewery in Appleton and the Appleton I have a
hat here.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
When I went with my brother, I got a hack.
I can't I can't wait to cross that off my
bucket list. I've been wanting to go to Lamb for
a while.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Hey, you want to stay at my brother's house. Yeah,
I'll use his Lufa exactly. Steve from the Bay rites
and he says, Ben and Danny, is this new Apple
headphone thing exciting or is this more alien technology? Apparently
(13:23):
Apple's got new headphones out, Danny that can translate, according
to Steve here foreign languages in real time. That sounds amazing.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
WHOA, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
That sounds Steve says, they did this in Star Trek
back and they really like it's a Star Trek communicator
or something like that. Well, Steve, first of all, this
is the first I'm hearing about it. Bad job by me. Secondly, yes,
at some point the wife wants to drag me to
a bunch of countries where they don't speak English, which
I'm okay with. But I'm a little scared because I
(13:55):
only speak English. So if I had those headphones, I
can go down to my and have a conversation with somebody,
I go to Beijing, knock yourself out wherever. That would
open up the whole world if.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
It actually works. Those language teaching companies hate this. Oh,
you're right, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Rosetta Stone, They're like,
screw you Apple. Yeah, it says Apple just announced Live
translation for AirPods Pro three, powered by Apple Intelligence. It
translates live conversations directly in your air starting with English, French, German, Portuguese,
(14:30):
and Spanish.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Okay, so it doesn't have Russian, Chinese would be really
that's a tough Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
I guess they're going to add other languages.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Yeah. Oh that's great though. I mean that right you uh,
you've done any international traveling, Danny, I have ever. No,
I've never done that either. So I'm concerned, like what
if I go somewhere nobody, I can't talk to anybody,
Like what do I do?
Speaker 4 (14:53):
By the time you and I get to travel like that,
it'll be in a flying car and we'll have these
air pods in Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Well, speaking of that, Orlando that's his name, not his city.
He did not say where he's from. Bad job by him,
Orlando writes in He says he enjoys the podcast. This
is the first time he's ever written to a podcast. Well,
thank you. You always remember your first time. You will
remember this for many many years to come. Anyway, he says,
(15:24):
the new crash proof plane is in development? Are we
never going to have plane crashes again? And then he
sent me a link here to this is I guess
an A. I don't think this is legit. By the way, Orlando,
it's AI. The plane is supposed to use the AI here.
(15:45):
Danny's got huge air bags. When the engine is failing,
the air bags are activated.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
That doesn't sound real, all right?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
And plus if the engine fails, how would the air
bags be activated because the engine is not working?
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Have you seen the photo on this? Holy crap, this
is hilarious.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
No, I'm googling it right now. I want to know.
I want to see who did this AI.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
This is hilarious. So it's got It looks like the
Staypuff Marshmallow plane and it triggers fast deploying airbags at
the nose, belly, and tail of the plane. What if
it lands not? What if it knows dives head first?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
You know, let me I can. I can send this
over you and I see you listening or live coverage.
It is the fifth hour podcast live on tape, and
there's the the plane. I don't think that's gonna if
that thing lands crashes from thirty thousand feet or whatever
in the sky.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
I don't think that's gonna it's gonna matter much. I'm
reading something here from the New York Post. It says
engineers unveil a Bonker's prototype for crash proof plane following
Air India disaster. Says that Project Rebirth is the first
AI powered crash survival system. Reads the description of the
(17:14):
Pillowy protective measure on the site. It deploys smart air bags,
impact absorbing fluids, and reverse thrust mid air, turning fatal
crashes into survivable landings. Oh yeah, I'm looking at the
picture right now. Looks like a cartoonist did it right.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
It does not look good.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
It's like a ball sack on top and bottom of
the plane.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
According to the story Orlando sent me, it's got keV lar.
That's keV lar. That the thing that looks like the airbag.
I guess it is. It's air and foam. They claim
inner layer has some other craft. I don't know what
that is, but supposed.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
To be a So this is AI engineered. They want
to try to you a prototype like this. Okay, yeah,
so it is not Actually it's not a thing. I
got you.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Thank you for that.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Orlando.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
I appreciate that. Who's next on the mailbag?
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Rick?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Right Sin also did not say his name. What was
going on with you idiots? Is it that hard to
say where you're from? Is it that difficult to say
where you're from? Rick says, Hey, not to go full
coast to coast on you guys. But NASA this week
claimed that they have clear signs of life on Mars.
(18:37):
Does this interest you, guys? Of course it does, Rick.
What human being would not be interested in that? And
they they claim NASA's they were going to deliver some
monumental news about Mars. They had an announcement this week.
What do you think they found? They said? I guess
(18:57):
the sciences are excited, says, this is a new story.
Sciences are excited because the rock on Mars might contain
bio signatures, which are chemical clues that could hint of
ancient microble life on Mars. Okay, so they're trying to
find martial I mean, okay, that's fine. Do you think
(19:20):
NASA's is gonna randomly announced Danny on like, I don't know,
Wednesday or Thursday. Hey, by the way, we found some goblins.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
How many years would it take to travel to Mars.
If you're going that far, you're gonna find another life form.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
I would hope I would hope he finds them. Anyway,
let's see what is next. Reggie from Detroit. Hello Reggie,
he says, Hey, Bndon Danny. I saw some of you
guys were upset that you did not talk about Charlie
Kirk being murdered on the show. How did you handle
handle that? Says Reggie. Obviously we don't live in a bubble, right, Dan,
(19:57):
we were aware. I don't know how Covino and Rich
in the other shows handle it. But my theory, and
I don't always follow this, but my general theory is
that we do specialization. We sell cheeseburgers. We don't sell pizza.
We sell cheeseburgers what we do here, and if you
want pizza, you can find pizza. If you want cheeseburgers,
(20:18):
you come to us. It's kind of like the in
and Out philosophy. Reggie and I've talked about this as well.
But for those that are new to the show, like
In and Out had the mantra, let's just do one
thing and we're going to do it really well, that's it,
and there when they opened up over in the San
Gabriel Valley in La Here in Baldwin Park, they had
three items in and out, had three items on their menu.
(20:39):
They had burgers, fries, and shakes. And that was back
probably like the nineteen forties or something like that. And here,
all these years later, they still only have three items
that they have on their menu, like three main items, burgers, fries,
and shakes. So that's you know, that's it. And plus
I don't know that I don't know that I need
to add anything to the compost. Add I think it's
(21:01):
you know, horrible anytime somebody and murdered.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
That's what I was gonna say, was that you had
the not luxury, but the time slot you're on. Everybody's
kind of already reacted to it in the media. When
C and R were on that afternoon, it was breaking
news that he was pronounced dead. So the guys had
to react to it. And they didn't spend the whole
show talking about it, but their opening segment they discussed
(21:28):
it a little bit and they said sports provides unity
and healing, and so we'll try to have some fun
and you know, move forward with today. And I think
that's kind of the best way to handle it when
you're in the moment.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Yeah, for sure. I was not a consumer of I
guess he was a big political commentator. I didn't i'd
heard the name. I guess he had been on some
of the Joe Rogan or something. I don't know, but
I whatever. It's a sad situation.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
And you've seen in the following days how it's become
divisive with people going back and forth at each other.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Oh yeah, everything is divisive. You know. There were what
I saw when I was looking at the story because
like everyone else, I mean, the thing that I would
like to complain about, the main complaint is I I
don't know about you, daddy, but I had no less
than three people, unsolicited, unsolicited, send me the video of
(22:24):
the murder. I didn't know what I was clicking. The
first time I thought, I thought it was Ai. I said,
what is that? And then it's all around the same
time when the thing, I guess popped up on social media.
And I don't know about you, but I don't When
I was a kid, remember those you were you around
(22:45):
my age, Remember those videos like faces of Death or
something like that course showed, Yeah, those those were those
were like contraband. When I was in junior high school
and high school, people would pass those around. Oh you
see that guy, you know getting kicked over by the
train or whatever.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
But I didn't really.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I was never into that stuff. Like I don't want
to see that. I'm good, you know, I've seen as
many people die as I want to see die. That's it.
I don't need to see that, and certainly not that way.
And they like, who does it? At least say hey,
don't click on this if you know you don't want
to see you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Like, I don't.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
It annoyed me, that bothered me. So anyway, Stand from Harrisburg,
PA writes in he says, I know you guys have
talked about this on the podcast in the past. It
just happened again. I want to see if Danny can
use this for animal Thunderdome. There is when is that
animal thing happening? Danny's any update on that? Probably not right.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
The latest update is that the contract for this thing
has been on Clay's desk for four weeks. I don't
know what is going on from there. This is just
going to be in a holding pattern forever. So we've
joked in the past that it's just endlessly going to
continue with no resolve, and it sure looks like it's
headed that way. CoA. Bryant g is going to be
(24:03):
the host of this thing with Clay's fifteen year old
coming up in about ten years.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah, that's that's gonna happen. Well, anyway, sent this story.
I guess it's more for you than me. A guy
in his estate there in Pennsylvania has spoken out after
their emotional support alligator has been banned from Walmart.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Yeah I saw this, Oh you did?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Okay, so you're already aware of that. Okay, Uh, how
does one have an emotional support?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Like?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
How do people allow that to happen? You know what
I mean? I guess it's a little alligant, right, It's
like a baby alligator, but it's still an allegant.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Yeah, it's a cute little walllygator.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
What are you doing? And don't those things? But don't
those things grow?
Speaker 3 (24:45):
What do you do?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
You can only have it till it gets to a
certain size and then you got to get rid of it.
Is that how that works?
Speaker 4 (24:50):
I think there's some that stay little Oh really okay.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Wasn't the guy like he's in he's an older he's
older than us. The guy that has that, that's like,
what are you doing? Man? How do you get one
of those? By the way, what is there? Is there
a website alligators dot com?
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Do you remember the Wally Gator cartoon when we were
kids and we saw reruns of.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Oh yeah, yeah, I remember that vaguely and back in
the day for sure. Anyway, I don't you saw the story, Danny,
so you know, I don't.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
What do you want me?
Speaker 1 (25:27):
I'm amazed that somebody would want to have an emotional
support alligator. And how does the alligator actually support you?
Because it doesn't eat you, So it's supporting you. Is
that what that is? It doesn't eat you? So that's
a good thing, yes, man?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
All right.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Next up, Paul from La La land rights In says
he lives mid Wilster. I used to live near there.
I used to live in Park Librea massive apartment complex,
which is not far from what's kind of in that corridor,
the Wilson Corridor over there. If you're familiar with La anyway,
Paul writes in says, Hey, Ben, I know you guys,
I know you're a gamb but I don't know about
(26:03):
Danny g Have you ever gotten so far on the
whole you thought about doing what this this guy did?
And then he sent me a link from Twitter and
the link says that a passenger was arrested for jumping
overboard off a cruise ship. Now, why did he jump
(26:24):
overboard off a cruise ship? According to the story that
Paul sent me, this is that Actually I didn't see.
This is actually pretty funny. So apparently this guy Dan,
according to this story, lost sixteen thousand dollars gambling on
the boat and he thought, rather than pay the sixteen
(26:46):
thousand dollars, he would just jump over the outside and
swim away on the Royal Caribbean boat.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
And that was it. That is.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
That's like big balls from Vegas is what that is?
That is Wow, jeez, this happened? What has happened? September seventh,
US Customs and Border Protection officials were conducting the screening
and the man in question was hauled out of the
water by an accomplice and there he was quickly able
(27:23):
to track him down in Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico. Ho,
don't you usually die when you fall off a cruise ship?
Like that's Those things are massive. Those are like skyscrapers
and the sea. I I remember when I was visiting
my brother a couple of years back in the York.
(27:44):
We were over in Brooklyn and they had like I guess,
it goes from New York down to Florida. And as I,
if you fall, that you're done. That's it. Forget about
not being able to be found out in the in
the ocean. Anyway, We'll get out on that.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
You're gonna end on a death story.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Huh well, you know, listen, we got to appeal to
all people, Danny, and some people love death. There's the
ghouls out there, they love that stuff.
Speaker 4 (28:11):

That's a humdinger of a game. Looking forward to that.
And not a great Sunday night game tonight. I'm not

for me. But the Chiefs and the Chiefs and the Eagles,
that definitely does something for me.
