Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kabbooms.
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 soul fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
In the air. Everywhere you have stumbled upon, not by accident,
The Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny g Radio.
It is impossible to stumble onto a podcast. That's the
one difference between the radio and podcasting. But however you
(00:49):
have stumbled upon the show. We thank you for that.
We appreciate it, and we are here every weekend Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. We are yapping away for the Fifth Hour,
which is a spin off of the Overnight show. We've
been doing this. I've been doing this for several years.
Danny's been with me for a while now, and it's
(01:10):
available worldwide on the iHeartRadio app and on demand whenever
you want it, whenever you need it, and a lot
of people listen the day the podcast is released, but
we do have people that are stragglers that will download
the podcast on Monday or Tuesday, and so it's not
(01:30):
really an evergreen Pogress Danny this thing. It's not like it.
You can listen to a podcast like this three months
from now.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I don't think, well some people do.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I mean, I think that's the one good thing about
not talking too much sports, because that will get dated
really quick. It's like how none of us DVR as
we used to call it sports, because once it's passed
and you've seen highlights and all that, are you really
going to sit back and watch it over again.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yeah, although I did during the pandemic, I because there
were no sports, so I would watch random, old old
games on YouTube, but only if I didn't know the score.
If I knew the score, I would not watch. But
I was watching Monday night baseball games with Howard Cosell,
speaking of sport. I'd watch that and random NFL games
(02:24):
and you name it. So I was. I was into
that brief so.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
It was fine, Well, this should be an exciting weekend.
Besides your podcast, I'm going to have another podcast to
do a special one on Saturday, because this is early
Friday morning right now. A little later I head to
the airport with Covino and Rich because we have two
special shows coming out of Vegas for the big Davis
(02:48):
Garcia fight.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Oh that means free trip to Vegas is what that means?
The promoters paying for you to go to Vegas. I
used to get that back in the day. They used
to send me to that I've not been paid to
go to. Those are the best trips. The free trip
to Vegas by a boxing promoter to promote a fight.
That is the way to go. I didn't know they
still did that. I thought they got rid of that.
I thought because of budget restraints they got rid of that.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
I think it's a past relationship because Covino and Rich
used to cover all the big fights for Sirius xm
oh okay, something from their past that they're now revisiting.
But for me, it is going to be somewhat work
because you should see all the gear, all the electronics
that I need to carry to the airport.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Just drive, man, Just drive, you know, to fly to Vegas.
Fly so close. I always drive every time I drive.
Now I regret it. In fact, I do have at
some point this week and maybe on the Saturday podcast,
I will tell my my latest sojourn to Sin City,
and I will actually I'll have to give you some
(03:56):
advice this weekend to help you out, because I did
pick up a few things. I've learned a few things
and all that. But on the Friday podcast, we've got
Malor Merch. It's happening. If only Billy Mays was alive,
Safari Kingdom, which is unlike anything you've ever heard before,
and pop goes the culture and we're going to get
(04:18):
right into it. So very exciting news. We are less
than a month away from the Midwestern Malor Meet and
greet in Minneapolis. That's in Minnesota. I mean, we're trying
to lock down the actual venue. That has been a
whole different situation as we've tried to square away exactly
where we were going to go. The first venue we
(04:39):
were looking at, it fell through because of a scheduling
staff for the date that we're planning on doing this,
which is May the twentieth in the Greater Minnesota, Minneapolis
or Saint Paul area adjacent So that fell through, but
the Malor Merch has not fallen through. We are live
(05:02):
in honor of the mal or meet and greet in Minnesota.
We have a T shirt that is available for super
fans of the show. We're going to find out how
many super fans we have that are willing to pony
up a couple of bucks for the shirt. So it's
a mixed bag here. I had sent something out on
social media on Instagram and Facebook, and I was trying
(05:24):
to get a pulse of the people. Like. We had
a couple of different options we were looking at. I
was like, which one do you like better? And originally
my plan was gonna say I was gonna charge the
talking to the T shirt people. It was like thirty
dollars a shirt, and so that was my original plan.
And then the T shirt people explained to me that
(05:44):
with inflation and the item in question, that was not realistic,
that it needed to be forty dollars, and I said, well,
that's too much. I'm not going to put forty dollars
on It's ridiculous. And so we reached the compromise at
thirty five dollars, which is not much better, but it
is a little bit better than the forty. So that's
(06:04):
where we are. Plus shipping and handling in the continental
United States a nonother reason for this, as I was told,
is it's a limited edition. Now. Normally, if you make
a T shirt and I haven't done one of these
at least a decade, I think it's been over I
think it's been like twelve years since we put a
shirt out last time. And it was a much easier
(06:24):
process the last time we did it. So no more
twenty dollars shirts, my man, mob maya, the world's changed,
mom myam. I was like, okay, I didn't realize I
haven't bought T shirts in a while. I didn't realize
the inflation. But anyway, so last time I did it
was much cheaper item. People still complained, so I'm sure
they'll complain now, but the world's much different. And so
(06:45):
for the five W's and an H, the five ws
in H the who, well, that would be the Ben
Maller merchandise. The what that's a T shirt? It is
only available for the Malord Meet and Greet. Do you
have to attend the Malor Meet and greed to be
able to purchase this? No, you don't. I'm not sure
why you would want one if you don't go to it.
(07:07):
But what the hell.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
I've seen lots of comments online from your listeners saying
I'm still gonna buy one and I'm not even gonna
be there.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Well, that's very cool. So it's a T shirt. It's
purple with gold writing, a great homage to a certain
professional sports team in that particular.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
It looks very Mary Tyler Moore.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Where can you purchase it? Here's the big thing. Listen closely.
The internet only. It's only available on the internet. The photo.
If you want to see what it looks like, you
can go to my Instagram or Facebook page. It's got
the silhouette of the state of Minnesota on it, and
it's got the name of the show, and then Malard
meet and greet, and so when is this now? That
(07:54):
here's the other important part. The deadline to buy one
of these is Monday. This coming Monday, obviously, when the
weekend comes to an end here, so that would be
let me do my computer like math on that. That
is the twenty third, So it's April twenty third at
six pm Eastern time, three pm Pacific. Now, the goal
(08:14):
is to get these things done and turn them around
and send them out to you so you have them
before the meet and greet. That's the goal, but there's
production time, shipping time and all that. So we're efforting that. Now,
why are we doing this. We're doing this with the
Malor merchandise because I have been sporadically, Danny sporadically being
(08:40):
asked by fans of the show. They're like, hey, I
really like to get some merchandise and you know, support
the show, whatever and so. And people had seen some
of the stuff that we made in the past and
they're like, hey, why can't I get some of that?
How the way you need to order these shirts, there's
an email address that has been set up only for
mal merchandise go figure. It's malor Meerch at gmail dot com.
(09:04):
So M A L L E R me E r
cch malormerch at gmail dot com. That's the only email
address accepting orders. They will be electronic orders on Venmo PayPal.
We'll give you the information. Just email that and explain,
like what shirt you want. If you want one shirt
(09:25):
and it's a small or a medium, or a large,
or an XL or two X. If you need bigger
than that. I know I was much bigger than that
back in the day. I will try to work something out.
I think that might cost a little bit more, but
I don't know. So I wish believed. Were you an
infomercial guy back in the day, Danny, Did you like
(09:45):
the infomercials?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Not really?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
The only ones that I would kind of get hypnotized
by were the Blades.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
You like the Blades? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
I like the Blades. Other than that, I turned the channel.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I love the way they could convince you to buy
all the shit you didn't really need. I was fascinated
by it, like I would watch it. I was a kid,
like why would a kid want to watch infomercials? But
I fell in love with infomercials. We almost had Ron
Pole Peel, who's dead now. We almost he's not available.
We almost had him on the podcast. Ron was he'd
agreed to do it, and then he decided the very
(10:20):
last minute we didn't have big enough names on the podcast,
so he bailed on the podcast. I was bummed out
about that, but it's all right. He spent time with
his grandkids. He's dead now, so good for him.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
But I also Brian Billick, category.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Brian Billy Brian Billock exactly. Also Billy Mays, now Billy
Mays was the guy that had the.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Beat from that movie Major League.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
That's a different that's a different guy. That's Will the
Great Willy Mayson. But this is Billy Hayes, Billy Mays,
rather Billy Mays, and he was great because he died.
He put like shoe polished on his beard, and his
infomercials were so ridiculous. It was like, Hi, Billy Mays here,
if he was doing a malar t shirt commercial, this
(11:05):
is my take, Danny. No one else has this content.
We're the only podcast that has this content. So here's
how I think that would go. So if Billy Mays
was doing a commercial for this, he'd say, Hi, Billy
May's here with Malor merchandise endorsed by me, Billy Mays.
The fastest easiest way to solve your lack of show
merchandise is to get one of these Malor Merchandise shirts
guaranteed order right now, something like that.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Yeah, and he'd have to put the twenty twenty three
spin on it. Not available on.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Amazon exactly, not available stores only available via Malormerch at
gmail dot com. Again Malur merch m A L L
E R me E r c ch at gmail dot com.
And I've been already asked by people, So are you
gonna make any other stuff? Well, it really depends if
people are interested in this. If we sell, I guess
with a certain amount to make it worth our time,
(11:56):
we will certainly be open to adding some other items.
And right now, wow, this is the only thing we have,
so is it possible we'll add stuff down the line. Sure,
and I'd love to do more of these meet and greets.
But people have asked about hats. I'm a big hat
guy since my hair went away, so why not, although
it would be weird wearing a hat with my name
on it. So we'll see what we can come up with.
But this is the only item we have right now.
(12:17):
I can't guarantee anything else. So if you're interested in it,
if you're going to attend the meet and greet, if
you've rsvp'ed or planning on rsvping, it would be great.
Malord Meerch at gmail dot com. The shirts are purple.
They get the silhouette. I want to see what they
look like on Instagram or Facebook. Check that out and
thank you in advance, thank you, thank you, thank you
(12:37):
in advance. If you get one of these and we're
not making any money on this, So it's other people
are we're not. Of course, isn't that the way of
the world? Danny?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Pretty much?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Yeah, pretty much? Boy, that would be great if I
got rich off that.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
I mean, all you'd have to do is put a
ten dollars surcharge on that to go to the Ben
Mallar Lunch Foundation.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
It sounds like a wonderful idea if I had only
thought of that earlier, only thought of that earlier. So
that is the malur merch. We have the Safari Kingdom Danny,
which is back yet again, and that means, Ohio.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
It's time for Ben Mallards Safari Kingdom.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
With Danny g Radio and decease and desist from Clay Travis.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Oh please. Clay is a big fan of this. If
you only knew about it, he would be a massive fan. Clay,
he's a very busy man. Though he's a very busy man.
What is going on so on Safari Kingdom? These are
animal related stories. This is nothing like Animal Thunderdome, which
is going to be an amazing podcast starting when.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
I don't know when is it going to start?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
The eighth day of the week, the thirty second day
of the month, the three hundred and sixty seventh day
of the year, you will hear animal Funderdome.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
That's going to I was told early February. Now we
are spoiler alert.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
We are going to be moving into our brand new studios,
which we'll have more about on the Saturday podcast. But
that took how many extra months in executive talk?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Yeah, three for five, six.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Six months, at least at least six.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
So I guess add six months on to February one,
and that's the start date for the Animal Thunderdome.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I'm sure that'll solve it.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Well. Smart Kingdom is already underway, and good news. Monkeys
are smarter than humans in one way. In one way,
monkeys are smarter than humans. How is that you say?
When it comes to magic sleight of hand? Say what.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
They can make their nuts disappear? Well?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Coit your new study out of the UK, the United Kingdom,
They have the term in that the primates. There's no
fooling most primates when they see the sleight of hand trick.
The reason they lack opposable thumbs. So the report says
the French drop, which is a sleight of hand trick
(15:19):
always the French the French drop, as it's called, where
the object seems to vanish into thin air. In reality,
the small object is discreetly taken from one hand by
the hidden thumb of the other hand. And the monkeys
that lacked opposable thumbs saw through the deception and so
they were able to figure out exactly what was going on,
(15:41):
but humans do not. So there's a win for the
monkeys and not the band, not that old band, the monkeys. No, no, no,
Well here's something out of a horror film and Safari Kingdom.
Scientists have discovered a creepy creature with not one, not two,
not three, not four, not five, not six? How about
(16:02):
twenty four eyes? Twenty four eyes? Where can you find this?
It was discovered in Hong Kong in a pond in
Hong Kong.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
That's where the eyes are also a delicacy.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yes, you can buy that for dinner. It's a new
species of box jellyfish that has been found in this
random pond. That jellyfish has twenty four eyes that are
separated into six groups around the bell. So you can
imagine why would a jellyfish need twenty four eyes? Is
(16:43):
there a reason you think they say that the got
a transparent body.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
To fight off three octopus.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
It measures less than one inch and they have three
long tentacles on this on this thing. It it was
in a body of water at my Pole Reserve m
a i Po reserve and a new species. And looking
at a photo of it, it doesn't look all that creepy.
(17:15):
It doesn't look all all that like weird, you know,
like it's just a transparent jellyfish. It's it's hard to tell.
I think I sent you the right link on that.
I don't know you. I clicked your link, so you
can check that out if I sent the right one.
If not, I sent you some other wild link. I
don't know, but it's from a science report and you
(17:36):
can can check that out. What else do we have
on the Safari Kingdom?
Speaker 3 (17:43):
You sent me looks like you were researching female tops.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I guess I sent you the wrong one.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I guess. I guess you're going to do ben malor
merch for female lingerie.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yeah, that's the who goofed. I've got to know. We
try that again.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Here?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
See this now, I coicked the right button. They said
there would be no clicking on the podcast. Click on
the podcast. That's a bad job. Well check that out
when you get it. And while you're looking at that,
here's one. An extremely rare albino dolphin has been spotted
in Africa. They think this could be the first time
(18:21):
ever they have spotted the albino dolphin. How excited Like
the white whale, the albino bottlenose calf was swimming around
two hundred other dolphins and it was spotted on by
a couple on their wedding day.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Now, I've seen albina stories about albino lobsters. Yeah, yeah,
it made the news before. I've never seen a dolphin.
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Would you like to see what an albino dolphin looks like?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Yeah, yeah, make sure you send the right link, though,
I don't send you the porn link.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
And I'm looking at the jellyfish. That is awesome.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yeah, but it doesn't look that scary though, right, it.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Looks it doesn't look scary, but yeah, pretty cool to
see an ultra venomous new jellyfish.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
All right, So, the the white racist the albino dolphin.
Does he get picked on by other dolphins or do
you think the albino dolphin's okay with Everyone's good with
the in the dolphin community.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Oh, they probably think he's a badass.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
You he's like the cool. Do you think they even
notice it? You think it's a it's pretty pretty cool.
You see the photo of all the pod of dolphins. Yeah,
and in the backs the yeah, the the albino dolphins
kind of hanging out, chilling, having a grand old time.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
There.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
What else do we have on these safari can you
want a lot of stories here to choose from. But
here's an odd one. A choking panda life saved by
breeder who performed the Heimlick maneuver on a panda? Would
(20:05):
you do that to save a panda? Would you give
the heimlick? You would? Really?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Yeah, I'll do that all right?
Speaker 1 (20:14):
But if your business was was panda's. So I thought,
I thought the Heimlich maneuver didn't necessarily work. I guess
it does work? Is that? I guess it does.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
I used that maneuver on a choking second grader a
couple of years ago, and he spit out a gram cracker.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Okay, so it does. It does work? Well. A giant
panda has been saved by its breeder. This happened in China,
performed the Heimlich maneuver. And this according to some video
that was posted on the TikTok of the Chinese version
of TikTok, which is I don't know how to d
(20:55):
o U y I N Are you familiar with that?
I've never heard of that, but I'm sure ribboning. So
the panda was trying to eat a carrot and it
went down the wrong pipe, and so the worker there
rushed over and did perform the heim Lick maneuver. The
giant panda got a carrot stuck while eating, the breeder
(21:17):
rescued it using the time test that Heimlich methodist comes
to us from the Asia Wire. I don't even know
what the hell that is, but I'm sure it's fascinating.
And so this guy lifted the bear weighs almost five
hundred pounds, shook it back and forth until it spit
the the carrot out.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
So, yeah, in the first aid classes for school, they
teach you how to do that Heimlich on a fat person.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
And well, this is a is a big that's a
fat that's a well fed bear, Danny, this is well fed,
well fed panda bear. They're having a fine time.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
It would appear fuck and forth, back and forth.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Do you want a third rail story in Safari Kingdom?
Or should we avoid the third rail?
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Go for it?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
All right? This is very exciting that d e I. Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion has now entered the animal world. Dogs
dogs hell say what? Yes, they're trying to make sure
dogs are woke. And I thought this was a story
(22:30):
from like the Babylon b or the Onion or something
like that, but it is. It is not. The Wolkesters
have entered veterinarian schools, Danny, and they are trying to
spread their dogma diversity, equity and inclusion, their ideology to
(22:52):
your dogs. I didn't know this was necessary, but it
turns out that, according to new research, the trainers training
of veterinarians, so the people that are teaching the veterinarians
who will take care of your pets. There was a
(23:14):
whistleblower that said that this is going on. So there
was an investigation done by the New York Post and
they thought this was fake. They thought, now, this is
just somebody pulling our chain. But they checked it out
and sure enough, this is a thing. This is a thing.
(23:35):
And some of their nonsense here they say that pit
bulls people who don't like pit bulls. Are if you
say you're not a fan of pit bulls, it's racial bias.
That's one of the things here. Yeah, they say it's
(23:55):
also there's too many white people that are veterinarians. That's
big problem. I didn't realize this was a problem, but
apparently it is, and so they're worried about that. And yeah,
eight of the top eleven veterinarian schools now have a
CRT Critical Race Theory or DEI curriculum of training. Eight
(24:18):
of the eleven three have school wide mandatory training. So
all right, there you go. It's the third rail. That's
a third rail. Even your daughter. Man, Well, here's something
that's going to upset the science community, and it's in
Safari Kingdom. There are now species that are living on
(24:40):
the Great Pacific garbage Patch. You know, that big thing
out of the Pacific that floats around. It's just plastic
like then I plastic. And they told us that we're
all going to die because of this, and it's terrible
and all that. Well, you know, stuff's going to grow anywhere.
And they said that they are actually species that are
living on They found their home in the middle of
(25:02):
the Pacific there are mussels, oysters and other crustaceans that
are living, They're reproducing. They're having little crustacean families and
little oyster families and mussel families living out there in
the middle of the ocean. And they've found the mussels,
the oysters, the crustaceans, all that and more just living
(25:23):
their lives on this huge plastic mass in the middle
of the ocean. Is it possible that this thing, which
is said to be sixty six hundred and twenty thousand
square miles, three times the size of France, the Great
Pacific Garbage Patch, that this is actually somehow helping certain
things grow. It's halfway between Hawaii and California.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Is it stationary, No, it moves around.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
It's filled with plastic bottles, microplastics, fishing gear, and other
shit people have thrown in the ocean. And you were
just in Hawaii. You got married in Hawaii. When I
was in Hawaii years ago, I remember walking around the
beach in Kawai and there were little pieces of plastic
shit that had washed ashore and they had like Chinese
(26:13):
riding on them and stuff. But they looked like they
had come all the way from yeah, from Asia, and
it was pretty wild. But I think we thought that
had because we were there not long after that tsunami,
Remember the tsunami that had hit that terrible thing that
took out a whole town, and we thought maybe it
(26:33):
was from that. But do they people? Are people just
throwing crap in the ocean.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
I hate people who litter.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
It's the pet peeve when I see people throw garbage
out their car window.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yeah, that's that's not cool, man. And I was like,
come on, especially you're driving around like the thing that
always kills me. Gas station boom, when you're pumping out,
that's the time to throw away the trash.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Yeah, you have a little trash bag in your car,
and then as soon as you part to get gas,
throw that ship away in the trash can there at
the gas station.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Exactly. My My move, Danny is I'll go pay for
the gas with the credit card, start the pump, and
while the gas is pumping boom. Then why I'm multitasking
and I set the thing automatic, and then I go
on and I do my deal. I get rid of
all the trash in the car. And that's usually the
way I.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Look at that. We just did a P S. A
on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
We're giving back to the community.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
That's what we're doing.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
We're giving back. We have a little time for pop
goes the Culture, and we have another song. We have
a song for everything, don't.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
We Yeah, I'm sure do.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Thank you, Ohio, what a talent to mand that, Ohio,
ail is, thank you for that? And Pop Goes to Culture.
We'll just do a few of these. There's a couple
that stand out well. Guinness World Records has stopped recognizing
this record because they say it's too dangerous. What record
is that, Danny? What do you think the record is
(28:18):
that it's too dangerous that they have stopped keeping track up.
They're no longer recognizing this record because they say it
is just not.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Safe eating those triangle chips.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Yes, unless that is nice. The record for longest time
to stay awake is no longer allowed. There's a guy
named Robert McDonald who went how long you think this
(28:54):
guy went without sleeping?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Oh I heard about this radio station promotion.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
That didn't drink as much water as you possible. Oh
my god, I could possibly go wrong.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
It could possibly go wrong in Sacramento, California with that promotion.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Helladez, I want to say the.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Week, Well, how about longer than that. This dude stayed
away in nineteen eighty six. This is how long the
record's been held. He went four hundred and fifty three
hours and forty minutes, almost nineteen days.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
What the hell?
Speaker 1 (29:34):
How do you do that without sleeping? And so that
that's the record.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
I'm sure he wasn't sleeping with his eyes open.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
I wasn't there. I was not I was not there.
But this guy nearly nineteen days without getting any kind
of shut eye. And so he did it. And now
the Guinness people are like, yeah, this is not a
good idea, it is not a ida. And so some
(30:03):
guy who stayed awake for eleven days, he talked about
all the problems that he had and the health problems,
and so as a result, the people of Guinness have said, yeah,
we're good, we're good, and we're all right. And so
they had done studies on this back in the sixties
(30:25):
about they tested how the brain would react if you're
sleep deprived, and so they've done some studies on this.
It does not go well. So unfortunately, if you want
to set there, I would like to set a Guinness
World record. I actually thought about doing that as a
radio bit because I thought that'd be a cheesy radio bit.
Why not. I love cheesy radio bits. And then I
(30:47):
contacted the Guinness people and they said, sure, we'd love
to do that. That's a great idea. I was going
to set a record for most calls taken on a show.
And then they informed me that they would be happy
to send a representative about and here's how much it
would cost. And they wanted me to pay for it,
and I said, well, I thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
I'm good you pay for the application and you also
pay for them to come out and make sure that
you broke the record.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah, like, I'm okay. Well, here's a story that brings
a flashback in pop goes the culture. Do you know
who Rosy Ruiz is? Are you familiar with Rosie Ruiz?
Speaker 3 (31:22):
The Ruiz.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
She's the woman that cheated at the Boston Marathon.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
Oh okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
She took a subway to the closer to the finish
line and it.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Was a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Yeah, she passed away. But it's a great story. It's
a wonderful story. And she cheated at the freaking Boston
Marathon and got away with it. For a little bit
until people realized what was going on. Well, a similar
story has happened in London. A Scottish ultra marathoner has
been disqualified from a race for using a car in
(31:57):
the middle of the race. The person's apologized. This happened
earlier this week. They blamed jet lag and miscommunication. It's
a chick, it's a woman. Yet these women cheating at
these rests. There's a big problem with you, ladies. How
dare you women cheat at these events?
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Danny?
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (32:16):
She need to start calling your game shows.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
She well, that's Eddie Eddie, yea eddie. Anyway. She said
that it was all because of jet lag and miscommunication.
She broke the rules. She accepted an award for finishing
in third place, so she took a car and didn't
even win the race. How do you do that? You're
cheating you don't even win the race, the woman. The
woman is facing disciplinary action from UK Athletics. She traveled
(32:41):
two point five miles in a car during a race
from Manchester to Liverpool in northwest England. This happened earlier
in April. She's a forty seven year old woman. She
told the BBC that her leg began to feel a
little sore about half halfway through the race. It's a
(33:03):
fifty mile ultra marathon, and so she she felt a
little tired. During the middle of the thing, her leg
wasn't feeling good. So she she saw a friend, this
dude who she knew, and the guy gave her a
ride to the next checkpoint. She said she was going
to tell the marshal at the next checkpoint that she
was pulling out of the race, and she said she
(33:25):
had agreed and all that, and then and then the marshal,
I guess, tried to convince her that you'll hate yourself
if you stop. So she's like, okay, I'll keep going
in a non competitive way. And she never told anyone
that she had taken a car. And so that's what
that's the story she's telling.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
It's like the job you and your wife had in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Oh well, yeah, yeah, we were given the lyft to
the to the people. What well actually prompt about it?
Not Vegas, much different, much different. Well, here's a wanna
get away type of story. A flat earther spent twenty
thousand dollars on a DIY experiment to prove that the
(34:09):
planet was flat, and his experiment actually proved the planet
is round. And the guy blew twenty thousand dollars on
this doubt. Yeah, hook, goofed, I have got to know
so a flat earth? Are spent twenty grand on this experiment,
which accidentally proved the planet around. He was in the
(34:32):
middle of filming for a Netflix documentary titled Behind the
Curve when he realized he had wasted all of this money.
He was trying to disprove the mass of research led
by NASA, and so he spent all this money. And
the test involved using a camera to film through two
(34:55):
holes with a person standing on the other side and
shining a torch back at the the camera. Uh, and
it proved the Earth is actually actually thirty or twenty
thousand dollars on that. What a debacle, What a debacle.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
And Kyrie will reimburse them.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Yeah, Kyrie will take care of that, no problem. And
the last one here a German magazine facing a lawsuit
Danny why they published fake quotes of f one legend
Michael Schumacher? How is this a pop culture story? These
were AI generated quotes. There was an AI interview, now Rogan,
(35:40):
that would be a German magazine who published this. Since
Schumacher's accident, the family has not allowed people to get
close to him. Access limited to the closest of people.
And he's he's in really he's been in really bad
shape for a long time. Right, And that the Michael
Schumacher Schumacher story, right, And yeah, so this Cherman Weekly
(36:05):
magazine produced all these fake quotes and they published the article.
It was an AI generated interview. And now there's a
lawyers are involved.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
We'll see, we'll see what happens with that. Anything. You
want to promote Friday in Vegas today, Danny. You're in
Vegas today?
Speaker 4 (36:23):
Yes, yeah, So a couple hours after we get wrapped
up here, gonna fly into Vegas and do the Friday
afternoon Covino and Rich show Live Baby Live from Vegas.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
I am impressed that you were able to get a studio.
I was not able to get a studio in Vegas.
I was told it was impossible ho.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Me bring it remotely from a casino.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Well, I couldn't even do that. They were they couldn't
even find a casino to allow me to do that.
So but I'm happy for it. I'm happy because I
was supposed to do the show last week from Vegas
and I had it was on schedule, and I was
as I was leaving out the door to go to Vegas,
I was informed by the way the studio thing fell apart.
So that was unfortunately, But anyway, I have a great
(37:09):
rest of your Friday. Got a couple more podcasts this
weekend Saturday and Sunday, and we will catch you next time.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Later, Skater got a murder. I gotta go
Kabbooms.
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 soul fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
In the air. Everywhere you have stumbled upon, not by accident,
The Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny g Radio.
It is impossible to stumble onto a podcast. That's the
one difference between the radio and podcasting. But however you
(00:49):
have stumbled upon the show. We thank you for that.
We appreciate it, and we are here every weekend Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. We are yapping away for the Fifth Hour,
which is a spin off of the Overnight show. We've
been doing this. I've been doing this for several years.
Danny's been with me for a while now, and it's
(01:10):
available worldwide on the iHeartRadio app and on demand whenever
you want it, whenever you need it, and a lot
of people listen the day the podcast is released, but
we do have people that are stragglers that will download
the podcast on Monday or Tuesday, and so it's not
(01:30):
really an evergreen Pogress Danny this thing. It's not like it.
You can listen to a podcast like this three months
from now.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I don't think, well some people do.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I mean, I think that's the one good thing about
not talking too much sports, because that will get dated
really quick. It's like how none of us DVR as
we used to call it sports, because once it's passed
and you've seen highlights and all that, are you really
going to sit back and watch it over again.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yeah, although I did during the pandemic, I because there
were no sports, so I would watch random, old old
games on YouTube, but only if I didn't know the score.
If I knew the score, I would not watch. But
I was watching Monday night baseball games with Howard Cosell,
speaking of sport. I'd watch that and random NFL games
(02:24):
and you name it. So I was. I was into
that brief so.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
It was fine, Well, this should be an exciting weekend.
Besides your podcast, I'm going to have another podcast to
do a special one on Saturday, because this is early
Friday morning right now. A little later I head to
the airport with Covino and Rich because we have two
special shows coming out of Vegas for the big Davis
(02:48):
Garcia fight.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Oh that means free trip to Vegas is what that means?
The promoters paying for you to go to Vegas. I
used to get that back in the day. They used
to send me to that I've not been paid to
go to. Those are the best trips. The free trip
to Vegas by a boxing promoter to promote a fight.
That is the way to go. I didn't know they
still did that. I thought they got rid of that.
I thought because of budget restraints they got rid of that.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
I think it's a past relationship because Covino and Rich
used to cover all the big fights for Sirius xm
oh okay, something from their past that they're now revisiting.
But for me, it is going to be somewhat work
because you should see all the gear, all the electronics
that I need to carry to the airport.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Just drive, man, Just drive, you know, to fly to Vegas.
Fly so close. I always drive every time I drive.
Now I regret it. In fact, I do have at
some point this week and maybe on the Saturday podcast,
I will tell my my latest sojourn to Sin City,
and I will actually I'll have to give you some
(03:56):
advice this weekend to help you out, because I did
pick up a few things. I've learned a few things
and all that. But on the Friday podcast, we've got
Malor Merch. It's happening. If only Billy Mays was alive,
Safari Kingdom, which is unlike anything you've ever heard before,
and pop goes the culture and we're going to get
(04:18):
right into it. So very exciting news. We are less
than a month away from the Midwestern Malor Meet and
greet in Minneapolis. That's in Minnesota. I mean, we're trying
to lock down the actual venue. That has been a
whole different situation as we've tried to square away exactly
where we were going to go. The first venue we
(04:39):
were looking at, it fell through because of a scheduling
staff for the date that we're planning on doing this,
which is May the twentieth in the Greater Minnesota, Minneapolis
or Saint Paul area adjacent So that fell through, but
the Malor Merch has not fallen through. We are live
(05:02):
in honor of the mal or meet and greet in Minnesota.
We have a T shirt that is available for super
fans of the show. We're going to find out how
many super fans we have that are willing to pony
up a couple of bucks for the shirt. So it's
a mixed bag here. I had sent something out on
social media on Instagram and Facebook, and I was trying
(05:24):
to get a pulse of the people. Like. We had
a couple of different options we were looking at. I
was like, which one do you like better? And originally
my plan was gonna say I was gonna charge the
talking to the T shirt people. It was like thirty
dollars a shirt, and so that was my original plan.
And then the T shirt people explained to me that
(05:44):
with inflation and the item in question, that was not realistic,
that it needed to be forty dollars, and I said, well,
that's too much. I'm not going to put forty dollars
on It's ridiculous. And so we reached the compromise at
thirty five dollars, which is not much better, but it
is a little bit better than the forty. So that's
(06:04):
where we are. Plus shipping and handling in the continental
United States a nonother reason for this, as I was told,
is it's a limited edition. Now. Normally, if you make
a T shirt and I haven't done one of these
at least a decade, I think it's been over I
think it's been like twelve years since we put a
shirt out last time. And it was a much easier
(06:24):
process the last time we did it. So no more
twenty dollars shirts, my man, mob maya, the world's changed,
mom myam. I was like, okay, I didn't realize I
haven't bought T shirts in a while. I didn't realize
the inflation. But anyway, so last time I did it
was much cheaper item. People still complained, so I'm sure
they'll complain now, but the world's much different. And so
(06:45):
for the five W's and an H, the five ws
in H the who, well, that would be the Ben
Maller merchandise. The what that's a T shirt? It is
only available for the Malord Meet and Greet. Do you
have to attend the Malor Meet and greed to be
able to purchase this? No, you don't. I'm not sure
why you would want one if you don't go to it.
(07:07):
But what the hell.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
I've seen lots of comments online from your listeners saying
I'm still gonna buy one and I'm not even gonna
be there.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Well, that's very cool. So it's a T shirt. It's
purple with gold writing, a great homage to a certain
professional sports team in that particular.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
It looks very Mary Tyler Moore.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Where can you purchase it? Here's the big thing. Listen closely.
The internet only. It's only available on the internet. The photo.
If you want to see what it looks like, you
can go to my Instagram or Facebook page. It's got
the silhouette of the state of Minnesota on it, and
it's got the name of the show, and then Malard
meet and greet, and so when is this now? That
(07:54):
here's the other important part. The deadline to buy one
of these is Monday. This coming Monday, obviously, when the
weekend comes to an end here, so that would be
let me do my computer like math on that. That
is the twenty third, So it's April twenty third at
six pm Eastern time, three pm Pacific. Now, the goal
(08:14):
is to get these things done and turn them around
and send them out to you so you have them
before the meet and greet. That's the goal, but there's
production time, shipping time and all that. So we're efforting that. Now,
why are we doing this. We're doing this with the
Malor merchandise because I have been sporadically, Danny sporadically being
(08:40):
asked by fans of the show. They're like, hey, I
really like to get some merchandise and you know, support
the show, whatever and so. And people had seen some
of the stuff that we made in the past and
they're like, hey, why can't I get some of that?
How the way you need to order these shirts, there's
an email address that has been set up only for
mal merchandise go figure. It's malor Meerch at gmail dot com.
(09:04):
So M A L L E R me E r
cch malormerch at gmail dot com. That's the only email
address accepting orders. They will be electronic orders on Venmo PayPal.
We'll give you the information. Just email that and explain,
like what shirt you want. If you want one shirt
(09:25):
and it's a small or a medium, or a large,
or an XL or two X. If you need bigger
than that. I know I was much bigger than that
back in the day. I will try to work something out.
I think that might cost a little bit more, but
I don't know. So I wish believed. Were you an
infomercial guy back in the day, Danny, Did you like
(09:45):
the infomercials?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Not really?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
The only ones that I would kind of get hypnotized
by were the Blades.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
You like the Blades? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
I like the Blades. Other than that, I turned the channel.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I love the way they could convince you to buy
all the shit you didn't really need. I was fascinated
by it, like I would watch it. I was a kid,
like why would a kid want to watch infomercials? But
I fell in love with infomercials. We almost had Ron
Pole Peel, who's dead now. We almost he's not available.
We almost had him on the podcast. Ron was he'd
agreed to do it, and then he decided the very
(10:20):
last minute we didn't have big enough names on the podcast,
so he bailed on the podcast. I was bummed out
about that, but it's all right. He spent time with
his grandkids. He's dead now, so good for him.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
But I also Brian Billick, category.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Brian Billy Brian Billock exactly. Also Billy Mays, now Billy
Mays was the guy that had the.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Beat from that movie Major League.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
That's a different that's a different guy. That's Will the
Great Willy Mayson. But this is Billy Hayes, Billy Mays,
rather Billy Mays, and he was great because he died.
He put like shoe polished on his beard, and his
infomercials were so ridiculous. It was like, Hi, Billy Mays here,
if he was doing a malar t shirt commercial, this
(11:05):
is my take, Danny. No one else has this content.
We're the only podcast that has this content. So here's
how I think that would go. So if Billy Mays
was doing a commercial for this, he'd say, Hi, Billy
May's here with Malor merchandise endorsed by me, Billy Mays.
The fastest easiest way to solve your lack of show
merchandise is to get one of these Malor Merchandise shirts
guaranteed order right now, something like that.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Yeah, and he'd have to put the twenty twenty three
spin on it. Not available on.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Amazon exactly, not available stores only available via Malormerch at
gmail dot com. Again Malur merch m A L L
E R me E r c ch at gmail dot com.
And I've been already asked by people, So are you
gonna make any other stuff? Well, it really depends if
people are interested in this. If we sell, I guess
with a certain amount to make it worth our time,
(11:56):
we will certainly be open to adding some other items.
And right now, wow, this is the only thing we have,
so is it possible we'll add stuff down the line. Sure,
and I'd love to do more of these meet and greets.
But people have asked about hats. I'm a big hat
guy since my hair went away, so why not, although
it would be weird wearing a hat with my name
on it. So we'll see what we can come up with.
But this is the only item we have right now.
(12:17):
I can't guarantee anything else. So if you're interested in it,
if you're going to attend the meet and greet, if
you've rsvp'ed or planning on rsvping, it would be great.
Malord Meerch at gmail dot com. The shirts are purple.
They get the silhouette. I want to see what they
look like on Instagram or Facebook. Check that out and
thank you in advance, thank you, thank you, thank you
(12:37):
in advance. If you get one of these and we're
not making any money on this, So it's other people
are we're not. Of course, isn't that the way of
the world? Danny?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Pretty much?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Yeah, pretty much? Boy, that would be great if I
got rich off that.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
I mean, all you'd have to do is put a
ten dollars surcharge on that to go to the Ben
Mallar Lunch Foundation.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
It sounds like a wonderful idea if I had only
thought of that earlier, only thought of that earlier. So
that is the malur merch. We have the Safari Kingdom Danny,
which is back yet again, and that means, Ohio.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
It's time for Ben Mallards Safari Kingdom.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
With Danny g Radio and decease and desist from Clay Travis.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Oh please. Clay is a big fan of this. If
you only knew about it, he would be a massive fan. Clay,
he's a very busy man. Though he's a very busy man.
What is going on so on Safari Kingdom? These are
animal related stories. This is nothing like Animal Thunderdome, which
is going to be an amazing podcast starting when.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
I don't know when is it going to start?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
The eighth day of the week, the thirty second day
of the month, the three hundred and sixty seventh day
of the year, you will hear animal Funderdome.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
That's going to I was told early February. Now we
are spoiler alert.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
We are going to be moving into our brand new studios,
which we'll have more about on the Saturday podcast. But
that took how many extra months in executive talk?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Yeah, three for five, six.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Six months, at least at least six.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
So I guess add six months on to February one,
and that's the start date for the Animal Thunderdome.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I'm sure that'll solve it.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Well. Smart Kingdom is already underway, and good news. Monkeys
are smarter than humans in one way. In one way,
monkeys are smarter than humans. How is that you say?
When it comes to magic sleight of hand? Say what.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
They can make their nuts disappear? Well?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Coit your new study out of the UK, the United Kingdom,
They have the term in that the primates. There's no
fooling most primates when they see the sleight of hand trick.
The reason they lack opposable thumbs. So the report says
the French drop, which is a sleight of hand trick
(15:19):
always the French the French drop, as it's called, where
the object seems to vanish into thin air. In reality,
the small object is discreetly taken from one hand by
the hidden thumb of the other hand. And the monkeys
that lacked opposable thumbs saw through the deception and so
they were able to figure out exactly what was going on,
(15:41):
but humans do not. So there's a win for the
monkeys and not the band, not that old band, the monkeys. No, no, no,
Well here's something out of a horror film and Safari Kingdom.
Scientists have discovered a creepy creature with not one, not two,
not three, not four, not five, not six? How about
(16:02):
twenty four eyes? Twenty four eyes? Where can you find this?
It was discovered in Hong Kong in a pond in
Hong Kong.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
That's where the eyes are also a delicacy.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yes, you can buy that for dinner. It's a new
species of box jellyfish that has been found in this
random pond. That jellyfish has twenty four eyes that are
separated into six groups around the bell. So you can
imagine why would a jellyfish need twenty four eyes? Is
(16:43):
there a reason you think they say that the got
a transparent body.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
To fight off three octopus.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
It measures less than one inch and they have three
long tentacles on this on this thing. It it was
in a body of water at my Pole Reserve m
a i Po reserve and a new species. And looking
at a photo of it, it doesn't look all that creepy.
(17:15):
It doesn't look all all that like weird, you know,
like it's just a transparent jellyfish. It's it's hard to tell.
I think I sent you the right link on that.
I don't know you. I clicked your link, so you
can check that out if I sent the right one.
If not, I sent you some other wild link. I
don't know, but it's from a science report and you
(17:36):
can can check that out. What else do we have
on the Safari Kingdom?
Speaker 3 (17:43):
You sent me looks like you were researching female tops.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I guess I sent you the wrong one.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I guess. I guess you're going to do ben malor
merch for female lingerie.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yeah, that's the who goofed. I've got to know. We
try that again.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Here?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
See this now, I coicked the right button. They said
there would be no clicking on the podcast. Click on
the podcast. That's a bad job. Well check that out
when you get it. And while you're looking at that,
here's one. An extremely rare albino dolphin has been spotted
in Africa. They think this could be the first time
(18:21):
ever they have spotted the albino dolphin. How excited Like
the white whale, the albino bottlenose calf was swimming around
two hundred other dolphins and it was spotted on by
a couple on their wedding day.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Now, I've seen albina stories about albino lobsters. Yeah, yeah,
it made the news before. I've never seen a dolphin.
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Would you like to see what an albino dolphin looks like?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Yeah, yeah, make sure you send the right link, though,
I don't send you the porn link.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
And I'm looking at the jellyfish. That is awesome.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yeah, but it doesn't look that scary though, right, it.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Looks it doesn't look scary, but yeah, pretty cool to
see an ultra venomous new jellyfish.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
All right, So, the the white racist the albino dolphin.
Does he get picked on by other dolphins or do
you think the albino dolphin's okay with Everyone's good with
the in the dolphin community.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Oh, they probably think he's a badass.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
You he's like the cool. Do you think they even
notice it? You think it's a it's pretty pretty cool.
You see the photo of all the pod of dolphins. Yeah,
and in the backs the yeah, the the albino dolphins
kind of hanging out, chilling, having a grand old time.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
There.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
What else do we have on these safari can you
want a lot of stories here to choose from. But
here's an odd one. A choking panda life saved by
breeder who performed the Heimlick maneuver on a panda? Would
(20:05):
you do that to save a panda? Would you give
the heimlick? You would? Really?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Yeah, I'll do that all right?
Speaker 1 (20:14):
But if your business was was panda's. So I thought,
I thought the Heimlich maneuver didn't necessarily work. I guess
it does work? Is that? I guess it does.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
I used that maneuver on a choking second grader a
couple of years ago, and he spit out a gram cracker.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Okay, so it does. It does work? Well. A giant
panda has been saved by its breeder. This happened in China,
performed the Heimlich maneuver. And this according to some video
that was posted on the TikTok of the Chinese version
of TikTok, which is I don't know how to d
(20:55):
o U y I N Are you familiar with that?
I've never heard of that, but I'm sure ribboning. So
the panda was trying to eat a carrot and it
went down the wrong pipe, and so the worker there
rushed over and did perform the heim Lick maneuver. The
giant panda got a carrot stuck while eating, the breeder
(21:17):
rescued it using the time test that Heimlich methodist comes
to us from the Asia Wire. I don't even know
what the hell that is, but I'm sure it's fascinating.
And so this guy lifted the bear weighs almost five
hundred pounds, shook it back and forth until it spit
the the carrot out.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
So, yeah, in the first aid classes for school, they
teach you how to do that Heimlich on a fat person.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
And well, this is a is a big that's a
fat that's a well fed bear, Danny, this is well fed,
well fed panda bear. They're having a fine time.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
It would appear fuck and forth, back and forth.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Do you want a third rail story in Safari Kingdom?
Or should we avoid the third rail?
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Go for it?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
All right? This is very exciting that d e I. Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion has now entered the animal world. Dogs
dogs hell say what? Yes, they're trying to make sure
dogs are woke. And I thought this was a story
(22:30):
from like the Babylon b or the Onion or something
like that, but it is. It is not. The Wolkesters
have entered veterinarian schools, Danny, and they are trying to
spread their dogma diversity, equity and inclusion, their ideology to
(22:52):
your dogs. I didn't know this was necessary, but it
turns out that, according to new research, the trainers training
of veterinarians, so the people that are teaching the veterinarians
who will take care of your pets. There was a
(23:14):
whistleblower that said that this is going on. So there
was an investigation done by the New York Post and
they thought this was fake. They thought, now, this is
just somebody pulling our chain. But they checked it out
and sure enough, this is a thing. This is a thing.
(23:35):
And some of their nonsense here they say that pit
bulls people who don't like pit bulls. Are if you
say you're not a fan of pit bulls, it's racial bias.
That's one of the things here. Yeah, they say it's
(23:55):
also there's too many white people that are veterinarians. That's
big problem. I didn't realize this was a problem, but
apparently it is, and so they're worried about that. And yeah,
eight of the top eleven veterinarian schools now have a
CRT Critical Race Theory or DEI curriculum of training. Eight
(24:18):
of the eleven three have school wide mandatory training. So
all right, there you go. It's the third rail. That's
a third rail. Even your daughter. Man, Well, here's something
that's going to upset the science community, and it's in
Safari Kingdom. There are now species that are living on
(24:40):
the Great Pacific garbage Patch. You know, that big thing
out of the Pacific that floats around. It's just plastic
like then I plastic. And they told us that we're
all going to die because of this, and it's terrible
and all that. Well, you know, stuff's going to grow anywhere.
And they said that they are actually species that are
living on They found their home in the middle of
(25:02):
the Pacific there are mussels, oysters and other crustaceans that
are living, They're reproducing. They're having little crustacean families and
little oyster families and mussel families living out there in
the middle of the ocean. And they've found the mussels,
the oysters, the crustaceans, all that and more just living
(25:23):
their lives on this huge plastic mass in the middle
of the ocean. Is it possible that this thing, which
is said to be sixty six hundred and twenty thousand
square miles, three times the size of France, the Great
Pacific Garbage Patch, that this is actually somehow helping certain
things grow. It's halfway between Hawaii and California.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Is it stationary, No, it moves around.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
It's filled with plastic bottles, microplastics, fishing gear, and other
shit people have thrown in the ocean. And you were
just in Hawaii. You got married in Hawaii. When I
was in Hawaii years ago, I remember walking around the
beach in Kawai and there were little pieces of plastic
shit that had washed ashore and they had like Chinese
(26:13):
riding on them and stuff. But they looked like they
had come all the way from yeah, from Asia, and
it was pretty wild. But I think we thought that
had because we were there not long after that tsunami,
Remember the tsunami that had hit that terrible thing that
took out a whole town, and we thought maybe it
(26:33):
was from that. But do they people? Are people just
throwing crap in the ocean.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
I hate people who litter.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
It's the pet peeve when I see people throw garbage
out their car window.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yeah, that's that's not cool, man. And I was like,
come on, especially you're driving around like the thing that
always kills me. Gas station boom, when you're pumping out,
that's the time to throw away the trash.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Yeah, you have a little trash bag in your car,
and then as soon as you part to get gas,
throw that ship away in the trash can there at
the gas station.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Exactly. My My move, Danny is I'll go pay for
the gas with the credit card, start the pump, and
while the gas is pumping boom. Then why I'm multitasking
and I set the thing automatic, and then I go
on and I do my deal. I get rid of
all the trash in the car. And that's usually the
way I.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Look at that. We just did a P S. A
on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
We're giving back to the community.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
That's what we're doing.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
We're giving back. We have a little time for pop
goes the Culture, and we have another song. We have
a song for everything, don't.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
We Yeah, I'm sure do.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Thank you, Ohio, what a talent to mand that, Ohio,
ail is, thank you for that? And Pop Goes to Culture.
We'll just do a few of these. There's a couple
that stand out well. Guinness World Records has stopped recognizing
this record because they say it's too dangerous. What record
is that, Danny? What do you think the record is
(28:18):
that it's too dangerous that they have stopped keeping track up.
They're no longer recognizing this record because they say it
is just not.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Safe eating those triangle chips.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Yes, unless that is nice. The record for longest time
to stay awake is no longer allowed. There's a guy
named Robert McDonald who went how long you think this
(28:54):
guy went without sleeping?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Oh I heard about this radio station promotion.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
That didn't drink as much water as you possible. Oh
my god, I could possibly go wrong.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
It could possibly go wrong in Sacramento, California with that promotion.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Helladez, I want to say the.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Week, Well, how about longer than that. This dude stayed
away in nineteen eighty six. This is how long the
record's been held. He went four hundred and fifty three
hours and forty minutes, almost nineteen days.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
What the hell?
Speaker 1 (29:34):
How do you do that without sleeping? And so that
that's the record.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
I'm sure he wasn't sleeping with his eyes open.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
I wasn't there. I was not I was not there.
But this guy nearly nineteen days without getting any kind
of shut eye. And so he did it. And now
the Guinness people are like, yeah, this is not a
good idea, it is not a ida. And so some
(30:03):
guy who stayed awake for eleven days, he talked about
all the problems that he had and the health problems,
and so as a result, the people of Guinness have said, yeah,
we're good, we're good, and we're all right. And so
they had done studies on this back in the sixties
(30:25):
about they tested how the brain would react if you're
sleep deprived, and so they've done some studies on this.
It does not go well. So unfortunately, if you want
to set there, I would like to set a Guinness
World record. I actually thought about doing that as a
radio bit because I thought that'd be a cheesy radio bit.
Why not. I love cheesy radio bits. And then I
(30:47):
contacted the Guinness people and they said, sure, we'd love
to do that. That's a great idea. I was going
to set a record for most calls taken on a show.
And then they informed me that they would be happy
to send a representative about and here's how much it
would cost. And they wanted me to pay for it,
and I said, well, I thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
I'm good you pay for the application and you also
pay for them to come out and make sure that
you broke the record.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah, like, I'm okay. Well, here's a story that brings
a flashback in pop goes the culture. Do you know
who Rosy Ruiz is? Are you familiar with Rosie Ruiz?
Speaker 3 (31:22):
The Ruiz.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
She's the woman that cheated at the Boston Marathon.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
Oh okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
She took a subway to the closer to the finish
line and it.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Was a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Yeah, she passed away. But it's a great story. It's
a wonderful story. And she cheated at the freaking Boston
Marathon and got away with it. For a little bit
until people realized what was going on. Well, a similar
story has happened in London. A Scottish ultra marathoner has
been disqualified from a race for using a car in
(31:57):
the middle of the race. The person's apologized. This happened
earlier this week. They blamed jet lag and miscommunication. It's
a chick, it's a woman. Yet these women cheating at
these rests. There's a big problem with you, ladies. How
dare you women cheat at these events?
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Danny?
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (32:16):
She need to start calling your game shows.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
She well, that's Eddie Eddie, yea eddie. Anyway. She said
that it was all because of jet lag and miscommunication.
She broke the rules. She accepted an award for finishing
in third place, so she took a car and didn't
even win the race. How do you do that? You're
cheating you don't even win the race, the woman. The
woman is facing disciplinary action from UK Athletics. She traveled
(32:41):
two point five miles in a car during a race
from Manchester to Liverpool in northwest England. This happened earlier
in April. She's a forty seven year old woman. She
told the BBC that her leg began to feel a
little sore about half halfway through the race. It's a
(33:03):
fifty mile ultra marathon, and so she she felt a
little tired. During the middle of the thing, her leg
wasn't feeling good. So she she saw a friend, this
dude who she knew, and the guy gave her a
ride to the next checkpoint. She said she was going
to tell the marshal at the next checkpoint that she
was pulling out of the race, and she said she
(33:25):
had agreed and all that, and then and then the marshal,
I guess, tried to convince her that you'll hate yourself
if you stop. So she's like, okay, I'll keep going
in a non competitive way. And she never told anyone
that she had taken a car. And so that's what
that's the story she's telling.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
It's like the job you and your wife had in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Oh well, yeah, yeah, we were given the lyft to
the to the people. What well actually prompt about it?
Not Vegas, much different, much different. Well, here's a wanna
get away type of story. A flat earther spent twenty
thousand dollars on a DIY experiment to prove that the
(34:09):
planet was flat, and his experiment actually proved the planet
is round. And the guy blew twenty thousand dollars on
this doubt. Yeah, hook, goofed, I have got to know
so a flat earth? Are spent twenty grand on this experiment,
which accidentally proved the planet around. He was in the
(34:32):
middle of filming for a Netflix documentary titled Behind the
Curve when he realized he had wasted all of this money.
He was trying to disprove the mass of research led
by NASA, and so he spent all this money. And
the test involved using a camera to film through two
(34:55):
holes with a person standing on the other side and
shining a torch back at the the camera. Uh, and
it proved the Earth is actually actually thirty or twenty
thousand dollars on that. What a debacle, What a debacle.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
And Kyrie will reimburse them.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Yeah, Kyrie will take care of that, no problem. And
the last one here a German magazine facing a lawsuit
Danny why they published fake quotes of f one legend
Michael Schumacher? How is this a pop culture story? These
were AI generated quotes. There was an AI interview, now Rogan,
(35:40):
that would be a German magazine who published this. Since
Schumacher's accident, the family has not allowed people to get
close to him. Access limited to the closest of people.
And he's he's in really he's been in really bad
shape for a long time. Right, And that the Michael
Schumacher Schumacher story, right, And yeah, so this Cherman Weekly
(36:05):
magazine produced all these fake quotes and they published the article.
It was an AI generated interview. And now there's a
lawyers are involved.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
We'll see, we'll see what happens with that. Anything. You
want to promote Friday in Vegas today, Danny. You're in
Vegas today?
Speaker 4 (36:23):
Yes, yeah, So a couple hours after we get wrapped
up here, gonna fly into Vegas and do the Friday
afternoon Covino and Rich show Live Baby Live from Vegas.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
I am impressed that you were able to get a studio.
I was not able to get a studio in Vegas.
I was told it was impossible ho.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Me bring it remotely from a casino.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Well, I couldn't even do that. They were they couldn't
even find a casino to allow me to do that.
So but I'm happy for it. I'm happy because I
was supposed to do the show last week from Vegas
and I had it was on schedule, and I was
as I was leaving out the door to go to Vegas,
I was informed by the way the studio thing fell apart.
So that was unfortunately, But anyway, I have a great
(37:09):
rest of your Friday. Got a couple more podcasts this
weekend Saturday and Sunday, and we will catch you next time.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Later, Skater got a murder. I gotta go
