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 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 Mallard starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
In the air everywhere you have found your way to
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny g Radio
as we chop away on the weekend, Danny every single day,
no days off, well, there will be some days off,
but no days off from the podcast, Danny, as we're
(00:50):
here hanging out, kicking off the festivities this weekend.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah. I can't believe that we're already smack dab in
the middle of the summer, and in just a few
weeks there's gonna be a baby crying in the background
of this podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
That's right, we are closing in on the big day here.
This is near the end of June, right, this is
the big Is this the last weekend in the month
of June. I don't know the math. I guess it's
the next to last. I guess next weekend we go
into July, right, so this is the next last. This
is the last full weekend if my math is correct,
(01:26):
in the month of June. So when's the big day?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
What are we looking at here? Late July early August
something like that, Right.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
When the baby's being born. I'm gonna be broadcasting Live
with Covino and Rich from Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Oh you'll you'll be leaving. That's good, You'll be hanging out.
Why stop at Vegas? You go to the East coast,
go to Atlantic City further away. What the heck?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Anyway, on this podcast we have bingo, card whale watching
and scientifical and whatever else pops up. We'll get to
that as well, but I wanted to start with this now,
you know, do different things on the Friday podcast and
the Saturday podcast Get the Mailbag on Sunday. But the
(02:13):
kickoff the festivities a story that I was very surprised
by it with a plot twist. So one of the
perks of doing the overnight show as we don't have
to deal with too many inconveniences that the normal people
that work the dreaded day shift have to deal with.
For example, I see my boss maybe once a year,
(02:38):
if that. There have been years I've got an entire
year without seeing my boss face to face. So that's
a good thing, right, A lot of people want to
issue you boss. I get along with my bosses, but
it's better I don't see them. And one of the
other things is that doing the night show, I don't
have to worry about about traffic. Right, there's not of traffic.
(03:02):
People during the day have traffic. The only time I
have traffic is if there's like road work or something
like that, or there's a big accident. And so anyway,
earlier this week I hopped in the Malamobile for my
standard trip in, as the company has mandated that I
enter the studio a few days a week. God forbid,
(03:25):
I do the show from my home studio, so I
drive in there a few days a week. Standard trip
in from the north Woods to the hard scrabble streets
of Sherman Oaks right there in the San Fernando Valley,
very wealthy neighborhood in Los Angeles. A lot of rich
people live up on those hills and they come down
(03:47):
to the ground floor do their shopping and they hang
out in that area. So when I drive in, it's
like a steeplechase. I'm dodging speed racers. Everyone thinks they're
in Fast and the Furious seven hundred and forty three, right,
I mean, everyone's trying to you know, it's like the Autobond,
but it's not. And then you've got vagrants, You've got
(04:07):
people that are spaced out on drugs, and all of
that stuff. All of that stuff everything you could possibly
want if you were writing a horror movie or a
biblical story that is a horror movie. It's like a
modern day Sodom and Gomorrah raining down sulfur and buildings
being destroyed and people and vegetation all stuff. I may
(04:31):
have puffed up this story a little bit. So why
was this other night different than all other nights? What
was different about that night? So when I turned on
the GPS in the north Woods, God in the Mountain
of Bill turned on the GPS, my commute it said
would take about twenty five minutes longer. So I thought
at the time, in my head, I thought, well, I
(04:52):
was convinced there must have been a glitch. There must
be a problem here. With the GPS. So what I
did is I closed the app. I said, you know, oh,
that's gonna fix it and pretend this didn't happen. To
close the app, I'm going to reopen the app. And
I typed in the address and uh chasam as a
guy would say from Philadelphia who used to call the show.
(05:14):
This time it said thirty minutes. Thirty minutes longer than
my normal commute. So I figured in my head, I say,
you know, there must be an accident somewhere. But that's okay,
that's all right. So I start driving. You clear up,
I get on the road. It's not gonna be that bad.
I get on the roads. Fine. Surprise, surprise, surprise. It
(05:34):
actually got much worse, and I ended up playing a
game that I don't often play. I usually only play
this game. It's a reserved for the daytime. I played
freeway Bingo?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
How often?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Now, Danny, you don't have a lot of options where
you live to play freeway bingo. There's pretty much one
freeway kind of right there. There's like one or two, right.
You don't have a lot of options.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Yeah, not a lot. I have an emergency backup freeway,
which is the eight the one Koop takes out of
Seem Valley. What is that? The one to eighteen and that, Yeah,
and that wraps around an extra half hour to get
to work. So that's an emergency only freeway.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah, so I from the north Woods. I am very
far away. I might as well be in Guam, I
think where I am in the north Woods, So I
have a lot of options. There are many highways between
where I am and the Sherman Oaks compound of Fox
Sports Radio. And so I got in the cars. You
(06:33):
know what, I'll just play freeway bingo and that's fine.
So I ended up traversing most of the highways and
byways between the north Woods and Treman Oaks. I ended
up taking seven different freeways. What yeah, seven to get
to the mothership of Fox Sports Radio. And so was
(06:56):
there an accident, Yes, there was an accident. Was it
a terrible accident? No, it was not the kind of
accident that should have caused the problem. But by the
time I got to work, the commute took almost it
was between thirty five and forty minutes extra. So it's
almost an extra hour to get to the studio. And
so now, as Paul Harvey would say for the rest
(07:21):
of the story. Now, it was not until the next day.
Then I did some research and I found out a
mole gave me some information. Why did that commute on
a random Sunday night in the Monday morning take seven
freeways and almost forty minutes extra of drive time? Do
(07:46):
you know what was happening, Danny, g to cause that
traffic brew? Haha?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
The Clippers had just wrapped up a championship parade.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Well, it was not a Clipper parade, but it was
in many ways a parade. Very funny, Danny, very funny.
It was in many ways a parade. There was a
rough patch of traffic because I was told that many
of the roads were closed because of a motorcade. What
(08:20):
kind of motorcade? It seems the Vice President Kamala Harris,
who was visiting southern California and for some reason, she
was out driving about when I was on my way
to visit Fox Sports Radio and the vice president's motorcade.
(08:42):
I guess they must have had a force field. Were
they driving through an asteroid belt? Danny, I don't know that.
God forbid you drive among the commoners because your royalty.
I thought we didn't have royalty in the United States,
but I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Maybe we do. So she definitely went on an in
and out run late that night.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I must have must maybe she went to get a
sandwich at Fat sALS or something. I don't know, but
she was definitely not inconvenienced by the great Unwashed, and
so that is why it took forever. It wasn't an accident.
There was an accident, but that wasn't why it caused
the problem. It was simply a motorcade, which is another
(09:26):
reason to be very happy that we do not live
in Washington, DC. Those people must be agonized all the time.
In fact, we have people that listen to this podcast
justin in DC. We've got a couple others in the
DC area, and it must be a freaking nightmare. RW
You never know, because it's not only the president and
(09:46):
the vice president. You've got a bunch of diplomats. Everyone
thinks they're important in Washington. What a shit show that
must be.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
How many police do you think we're involved in that?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I have no idea. I have no idea. You see
the motor case. I wish I had seen the motor kid.
If I had seen the motorcade. That would have made
me feel better. It's like, okay, there's a presidential motor kake.
I remember when as a kid, I was growing up
in Orange County and we were surrounded by two military bases,
and every once in a while, when I was a child,
(10:18):
Air Force one would land at the El Toro Marine
Base and it would no longer exists, and every once
in a while my mom would take us kids out
to see the Air Force one. Right, so we'd show
up and it was always like a big deal. You know.
We couldn't get anywhere close to the airport the runway,
but we saw it from a distance, and so that
(10:40):
was always kind of neat. But I was spitting mad, Danny.
I was pissed off. You gotta be kidding me. I've
not gone to my Bengo cart at night in a
long time, but I had to do it there now
turning the page from that, so I would like to
pivot away. This is another story that does relate as
(11:01):
it's story time on the fifth hour, So this one
does relate to a group of very interesting characters at
at Fox Sports Radio. And these are people, Danny, that
I don't think you have to deal with because you
worked during the day the nighttime security guards at FSR. Yeah,
(11:23):
it's it's it's craziness.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Yeah, I only see parking attendance now, I don't see
any security. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
So we have a security guard. There's a desk right
in the main building and the guy sits there or whatever.
It's changed over the years. Right now, I consider the
period of time we're in right now the Goldilock zone
for the security and here's why. So when I'm leaving
in the middle of the night in LA and I'm
(11:55):
leaving the studios, there the reason it's the Goldilock zone,
I walk by the guard and this is my night
nightly ritual. There's no other way for me to get
to the to the molainmobile other than walking right past
the security guards. So it's it's very difficult, Danny for
me to convey what I have witnessed over the last
few months. The sense of security, the sense of safeness,
(12:19):
comfort that I get when I walk by that security desk.
The people that are there to protect the building, to
protect the people in the building from danger from harm's way,
just outstanding. So the overnight security guard has a habit.
It's kind of his thing here where at night, right
(12:42):
when i'm he must he must time this right when
I walk out of the building. This guy is sawing
logs and it's become a hobby of mine. So I
started this as a gag. I've started taking photos, Danny,
(13:04):
of the security guard, and it really is like whale watch.
You know, I'm not listen. I'm fat. I've always been fat,
I'll always be fat. But you have to understand when
you're fat. You know, some things just don't look particularly good.
You know, some things not think. I'm going to send
you a photo, Danny, and see which one I want
(13:25):
to send you. There's a couple of different versions of
the photo I want, and I don't send this too
many people. There's a couple of people I know that
host radio shows back East, and it's kind of become
our things. It's artistic. I've been told that these photographs
should be in a museum somewhere, that they're that good,
(13:47):
that this is like an Andy Warhol painting, like a
you know, any great photographer, who is the great photographer
from back in the old days that used to take
photos of people and food. I forget the name of
the photographer. I don't. I don't call, but it was.
It was a long time ago, all right, I'll say
you this one. This is the most recent one, and
(14:07):
this is not the greatest work of art that we've had,
but it kind of gives you an idea to kind
of capture the moment here of what we're dealing with.
And this is the as I'm walking to my car,
and this is kind of a side angle.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
It looks like a polar bear twisting in the night.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah, he's uh, he's really going for it. And so
he's getting paid to sleep, and and good for him.
The the other one, which I can't apparently find the
other one, he's fully leaned back in his chair, so
the the belly is like right right up there. I mean,
it's just it's just outstanding. And so I have a
whole collection of those photos and he's just in dreamland.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
It looks like an old John Candy movie.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah, yeah it was, or Paul bart Mallcop. But this
guy's like much bigger than much bigger than that. But yeah,
it was pretty pretty good. So the other thing I've
noticed too, So when I show up, there's a different
security guard, and I've been getting there a couple hours
before the show, because it just logistically works out better.
(15:20):
I can kind of finish up. I go into that
old studio and it's completely quiet, away from everyone. I'm quarantined.
I'm on my own little island. Although people do come
in there and harass me, but anyway, so that's kind
of everything. So I get there and the guy that
used to be the overnight security guard who I think
(15:41):
you know, Danny, the guy that was in the comic books. Oh, yeah,
of course yeah, And he'd make weird comments to you
about your ring being some kind of superhero ring or
something like that, and very nice guy. I like to
get But this guy, see the other security guard just
sleeps while working. This guy actually takes this job seriously, right,
(16:02):
so he follows the protocol. And there's a hot yoga
studio in the building. We're in the I Art building,
and so in the Ihart building, random times should go
getting out of the hot yoga and if I get
there early, the night yoga class people are getting out.
So I see the security guard and he always says hello.
(16:23):
He's very nice, and I say hello to him. And
I'm usually in a hurry because I have to finish
something up. So I see the security guard the other
night and he is he's like a rancher shepherding cattle
out of the parking garage. There's all these women that
are that are there cofitsing there, They're talking, they're schmoozing
(16:47):
in the parking lot, and I'm like, I went up
to I said, what do you what are you?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
You're going up these people. You're trying to get him
a leave? What do you do? So you know what
he told me. He said that he gets a lot
of people who spend too long in the parking lot
and the gym only validates for two hours. And he's like,
these women will be talking for half an hour in
the parking lot and they'll have to pay for their parking,
and then they come and complain to him. So he's
(17:15):
decided to be proactive, Danny and try to shew the
people out of the parking garage because I guess he
gets in trouble if he has to validate. He's not
supposed to validate the parking for them or whatever. You know,
they've charged so much for parking in that building.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
It's insane And it's totally ironic because This dude won't
shut up. If he corners you, he'll blab about something
unimportant for a half hour himself.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Oh yeah, he will hold you down, and he will
give all kinds of weird movie references and stuff. But
he's like, he's really the good guy and all that.
He's a nice guy. But you're right, there is no
such thing as a short conversation. It does not exist.
There is no such thing as a short conversation with
(18:01):
that particular he's one.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Of those guys. When you exit stage left and you
try to make your escape, he's still talking, so you
hear his voice trailing off.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah, and there's no good way to get out of
that kind of conversation. I've tried, I've tried to be polite.
I gotta go, But you're right, he will still go.
He will drone on and on. He's like the energizer
bunny he is. And I don't think he walks around
the building anymore. The rumor, I don't know, he didn't
tell me this. The rumor I heard from somebody else
is they actually asked the security guards not to walk
(18:35):
around the building because they didn't want to get sued
for harassing the homeless people. Oh, speaking of that, I
forgot as a caveat to the whale who was sleeping
there at the security post. So that night I took
that photo. Danny perfect sums up the night complete. So
I take the photo. I get in the malamobile. I'm
(18:58):
in the car, I'm leaving. I go out of the
garage and make the right turn to leave. There's a
security gate. And as I'm leaving the security gate on
the right hand side. You've probably seen this a bunch
of times, Danny. You know where the there's kind of
a cut in and there's a security it's not even security,
it's a fire gate, fire door thing, fire escape. Yeah, yeah,
(19:22):
it's a little cutout. So hand to god, I'm not
lying here. So I saw the security guard sleep and
I get in the car. I'm going out. I clicked
my card key to get out of the parking garage.
And as I'm pulling out of the garage and I
see that little indentation the fire escape. There's two chaps
(19:43):
that are sitting in there, and I don't know exactly
what they were doing, but one was holding what appeared
to be a needle, yes, putting it towards his arm.
I did not stay there to see the conclusion of that.
I can only imagine what.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
They're probably just giving each other flu shots.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Oh sure, maybe it was the COVID vaccine. I don't know,
but yes, So that was my image as I was
leaving the garage. You've got to be joking.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
There's no oh man, as my grandma would say, rest
in peace. This country has gone to hell in a handbasket.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Oh my god. I was like, you gotta be kidding me. Man,
I'm like, what are we doing here? And they were
as happy as to be. I mean, I was only
I drove by them for like, you know, fifteen seconds,
but from what I could see, they seemed very happy.
They weren't bothered that I was driving by. I don't
think they even noticed that I was there. I think
they were in some kind of drunken or probably not drunken,
but some kind of enhanced state. And so they were
(20:42):
they were, they were really happy. And so that was
my night the other night. What a night it was,
What a night it was. So we have to get
side and typical, Danny, are you ready to get scientifical?
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Weird science?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
And that means io.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Ow I don't think he has an intro for scientifical.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
No, you gotta get on that ohioow bat job by
you bat y'ab by me. All right, let's get to
scientifical right now. In my head, everything has some kind
of musical accompaniment dans, so just play along, just play along.
So this is a story that could have been in
the Safari Kingdom, But of course it is not, because
we're not doing that this week. But scientists say that kingaroos,
(21:32):
here's another story about kangaroos. Every week we've got a
kangaroo story. Scientists are not claiming that kangaroos did not
always hoppity hop how about that wow honic animal of Australia.
They think at one point walked on two legs. Of course,
(21:53):
this would be millions of years ago. Extinct kangaroo species
related to those that are alive today, according to scientists
that have researched their remains, most likely walked upright. Scientists
reviewing the fossils of kangaroos the relatives of the modern kangaroo.
(22:14):
This goes back twenty five million years, they claim, and
they say they likely does that mean at some point
human beings could be like kangaroos and hop and have
that amazing energy. And why do you think the kangaroos
started hopping? What's up with that? Was that a survival technique?
(22:37):
Was that because they were trying to go quicker and
to have legs as strong as a kangaroo?
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Man?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Those things are are? They just naturally must be like that? Right?
Do you ever fall into a rabbit hole where you
watch kangaroos fighting on youtubet tonight? Some people like the
kangaroos fighting with people, But the kangaroo kangaroo battle, that's
(23:05):
an even matchup. What do they fight over? They must
fight over women?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Right?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Is that all animals fight over women? Is that why?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
I assume that's what they were boxing over.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, it's like the rams running into each other.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
To try to get try to pick it on a
loose football.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Exactly. Well, here's good news. If you do not like rats.
This is big news, especially in New York. More on that,
I think we'll save that for Saturday's podcast. But catching rats,
you get away from me. We are told this is
about to get a lot easier. Scientists claim they have
discovered a chemical that makes rodents less wary The wiley
(23:50):
rodents who are very good at evading capture sciences, found
a pheromone which they can't. They claim calms the rats.
I guess you put the rats in a like a
sleep state and it calms them down and it's much easier.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
So kind of like when you smoke out a beehive.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Look, the rats are all high here,
and these compounds, when released from the rats, it calms
into the in the wild, calms the rats. You know
what they should do. They should close the New York
City subway system, Danny, and for two days just pump
the pheromones into the New York City subway system. That
(24:34):
would be a solution to the wild vermin that are
all over all over New York.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Rats would match all of the kids nowadays on their
phones and devices a bunch of zombies.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah, and the zombie apocalypse. I heard
our friend from the Morning Show, LeVar Arrington, was complained
as he coaches young football players, and he pretty much
laid out that all young football players are essentially zombies
at this point, the vast majority of them, because they
just grew up watching YouTube or playing video games, and
(25:13):
so they're just like in a zombie state, which is disappointing,
but not not all that surprising.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Put your damn phone down for a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Yeah, are we sounding like our parents? I think right,
isn't that.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Get out there? Plus they told us put your beeper away.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yeah, stop watching TV and get outside and live in
the real world. Okay, Well, here's an interesting thing. It
says that by the year twenty one hundred. I love
these predictions on the future. This is a science story.
They claim based on what the evolution of home workers.
(25:55):
They said, experts have an idea of what homeworkers will
look like by the US two thousand. They claim that
home people that work at home will have hunchbacks, they'll
have dark, swollen eyes, and their hands will be clawlike
by which year twenty one hundred, so seventy years from now,
(26:18):
potentually a little more in that. This is done by
the University of Leeds And they said that because so
many people have decided to not go back to work
and they're working from home and all that, that this
is all going to happen. And I am calling bullshit
on this one. I'm calling bullshit on this, but they
(26:42):
the drawings are quite quite scare of what this would
would look like. It shows a woman sitting on her
bed with a laptop and she's got like a dog
bowl and some snacks and a drink, and yeah, I'm
gonna go No, I'm gonna say that that's not going
(27:03):
to happen. But what do I know? And what else
do we have on scientific How about this one? This
is another good story along the same train of thought.
Here are ten tech breakthroughs that are predicted, yes, predicted,
to change our lives this century, this century. Do you
(27:24):
see this?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
No? But flying automobiles better be on the list.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
People would need flying automobiles if they just stay at
home and they become hunchbacks with eyes, they wouldn't need
any of that. They'd be like, hey, I'm good, I
don't need anything here. I'm good to go knock me out.
So these predictions are fun, I do. I would like
to say the prediction stories are even better when you
go back into the archive and go back one hundred
(27:59):
years from today or two hundred years and when people
predicted what the world would be like. It's great. But
there's another story out. This is from a consulting website
and they have issued all these things that they believe
will be part of the world within one hundred years.
(28:21):
They say that people will wear are contact lenses and
what is that said? You will no longer need a smartphone.
You will use an AR technology, which is AI contact
lenses to display the information that is on your phone today.
(28:46):
That you will just put these contact lenses in and
your daily use all your daily things, everything you need.
You'll scan the internet, You'll have everything, and you'll all
just use your eye. That's it.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
In my eyes. That doesn't sound und comfortable at all.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Well, then you're up shit creek without a paddle. Danny Apps,
I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
If I have an iPad, we'll be able to be like,
look at that dude, he's old school.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Yeah, look at that. Look at that boomer. Look at
that guy. Right, I'll have to change it up from boomer.
Another prediction, they say that AI will enable us to
be telepathic. Yeah, oh yeah, According to a doctor at
the Institute of Analytics, artificial intelligence will Artificial intelligence will
(29:32):
enable machines to peer inside our minds and will make
humans telepath. That mind reading will no longer just be
in science fiction. They claim, I don't I don't want that.
I don't want somebody reading my mind. I do not
(29:52):
Do you want that? Who wants that? Does anyone want that?
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Well, if what you're surfing on in your case being
through your eyeballs, they'll now go into your brain and
know what commercials to play in your eyes.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Yeah, that's just what I need. That's just well, here's
something that I do support. They predict that within the
next century that human beings will have an AI butler.
That'd be good, right, A servant, an AI servant to
help you prepare. It says it will help you prepare meals,
(30:32):
help you with workouts, and put your work schedule together
and all that stuff. How would AI help you make dinner?
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I guess step by step the voice would walk you
through a recipe.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
They say sometimes between twenty sometimes between twenty thirty and
twenty fifty, we will see intelligent personal assistance that can
solve complex tasks. Complex task can Yes, I guess they
wouldn't actually able to make Yeah, they just as you said, Dany,
they'd be advised. But don't we already have that. They'd
be advising we have, we have YouTube they advise us
how to alexa.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
But if you could choose the voice, I would want
Gordon Ramsey while I'm in the kitchen, you.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Idiot, that'd be good. I'd like that guy Bangham. You know, yeah,
what's again? Merrill? Is that guy? The guy Meryl the chef?
You know?
Speaker 3 (31:27):
Oh yeah, Bangham.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Some other predictions, people will swallow digital pills to pre
diagnose illness. Don't they already have that? They can put
a camera inside you, right, can't they do that with
some things? That's that's right out of the matrix. The
prediction says that people would be able to swallow a
digital pill with iningestible sensors, and then they will be
(31:55):
able to be pre warned on possible medical conditions that
could be coming up down the line.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Yeah, Well, here's one right out of the terminator. They
say that people will replace body parts with robotics. I
don't know. You think that's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
I don't know about that. Say you die, they can
bring you back in the part of your body that's wrecked.
They just make that part robotic, so you'd be half man,
half machine.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
They claim they can claim whatever they want, right, it's
a claim. They say that by the twenty sixties, so
about forty years.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
We will not We just got to hang on then, Ben,
We'll never die.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
There you go, man, we'll be good. We just got
to make it another forty years. They say we won't
be just living longer, but we'll be in better health
than ever before. But they also say the technology, the
fields of robotics and human augmentation, that instead of the
natural aging and all that, that'll all be eliminated. Okay,
(33:04):
thank god, wonderful, can't wait. I think we'll leave it.
There's a bunch of other things here, but I think
those are something the bigger ones. I love, Biggie, and
that'll be the way to go. Although they did say
Wall Street's can be completely screwed here because AI will
be able to predict the stocks going up. So if
(33:28):
everyone knows which stocks are going to go up, wouldn't
then that destroy Wall Street? If everyone knows everyone has
insider information.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
And boom goes to dynamite.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah, anyway, all right, we'll get out on that. It
is Friday, Danny, anything you would like to promote here
on a glorious Friday in June, the twenty third day
of the month.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Here still working, You finished your on airshift. That's right, man,
I'm going to go into the studios this afternoon for
a fun Friday show with Covino and Rich two to
four pm on the West Coast five to seven pm
in New York City.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
So check that out. And thank you for downloading this podcast.
Hopefully you subscribe to all the other podcasts, most importantly
the Ben Malor Show podcast for me and Danny's on
with Covino and Rich as well, and have a wonderful
rest of your day. We have big podcast fun to
come on Saturday and then the mail Bag on Sunday,
(34:34):
and we will catch you then later.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Skater Tod, what's your second pop?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
The Wizzards
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 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 Mallard starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
In the air everywhere you have found your way to
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny g Radio
as we chop away on the weekend, Danny every single day,
no days off, well, there will be some days off,
but no days off from the podcast, Danny, as we're
(00:50):
here hanging out, kicking off the festivities this weekend.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah. I can't believe that we're already smack dab in
the middle of the summer, and in just a few
weeks there's gonna be a baby crying in the background
of this podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
That's right, we are closing in on the big day here.
This is near the end of June, right, this is
the big Is this the last weekend in the month
of June. I don't know the math. I guess it's
the next to last. I guess next weekend we go
into July, right, so this is the next last. This
is the last full weekend if my math is correct,
(01:26):
in the month of June. So when's the big day?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
What are we looking at here? Late July early August
something like that, Right.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
When the baby's being born. I'm gonna be broadcasting Live
with Covino and Rich from Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Oh you'll you'll be leaving. That's good, You'll be hanging out.
Why stop at Vegas? You go to the East coast,
go to Atlantic City further away. What the heck?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Anyway, on this podcast we have bingo, card whale watching
and scientifical and whatever else pops up. We'll get to
that as well, but I wanted to start with this now,
you know, do different things on the Friday podcast and
the Saturday podcast Get the Mailbag on Sunday. But the
(02:13):
kickoff the festivities a story that I was very surprised
by it with a plot twist. So one of the
perks of doing the overnight show as we don't have
to deal with too many inconveniences that the normal people
that work the dreaded day shift have to deal with.
For example, I see my boss maybe once a year,
(02:38):
if that. There have been years I've got an entire
year without seeing my boss face to face. So that's
a good thing, right, A lot of people want to
issue you boss. I get along with my bosses, but
it's better I don't see them. And one of the
other things is that doing the night show, I don't
have to worry about about traffic. Right, there's not of traffic.
(03:02):
People during the day have traffic. The only time I
have traffic is if there's like road work or something
like that, or there's a big accident. And so anyway,
earlier this week I hopped in the Malamobile for my
standard trip in, as the company has mandated that I
enter the studio a few days a week. God forbid,
(03:25):
I do the show from my home studio, so I
drive in there a few days a week. Standard trip
in from the north Woods to the hard scrabble streets
of Sherman Oaks right there in the San Fernando Valley,
very wealthy neighborhood in Los Angeles. A lot of rich
people live up on those hills and they come down
(03:47):
to the ground floor do their shopping and they hang
out in that area. So when I drive in, it's
like a steeplechase. I'm dodging speed racers. Everyone thinks they're
in Fast and the Furious seven hundred and forty three, right,
I mean, everyone's trying to you know, it's like the Autobond,
but it's not. And then you've got vagrants, You've got
(04:07):
people that are spaced out on drugs, and all of
that stuff. All of that stuff everything you could possibly
want if you were writing a horror movie or a
biblical story that is a horror movie. It's like a
modern day Sodom and Gomorrah raining down sulfur and buildings
being destroyed and people and vegetation all stuff. I may
(04:31):
have puffed up this story a little bit. So why
was this other night different than all other nights? What
was different about that night? So when I turned on
the GPS in the north Woods, God in the Mountain
of Bill turned on the GPS, my commute it said
would take about twenty five minutes longer. So I thought
at the time, in my head, I thought, well, I
(04:52):
was convinced there must have been a glitch. There must
be a problem here. With the GPS. So what I
did is I closed the app. I said, you know, oh,
that's gonna fix it and pretend this didn't happen. To
close the app, I'm going to reopen the app. And
I typed in the address and uh chasam as a
guy would say from Philadelphia who used to call the show.
(05:14):
This time it said thirty minutes. Thirty minutes longer than
my normal commute. So I figured in my head, I say,
you know, there must be an accident somewhere. But that's okay,
that's all right. So I start driving. You clear up,
I get on the road. It's not gonna be that bad.
I get on the roads. Fine. Surprise, surprise, surprise. It
(05:34):
actually got much worse, and I ended up playing a
game that I don't often play. I usually only play
this game. It's a reserved for the daytime. I played
freeway Bingo?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
How often?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Now, Danny, you don't have a lot of options where
you live to play freeway bingo. There's pretty much one
freeway kind of right there. There's like one or two, right.
You don't have a lot of options.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Yeah, not a lot. I have an emergency backup freeway,
which is the eight the one Koop takes out of
Seem Valley. What is that? The one to eighteen and that, Yeah,
and that wraps around an extra half hour to get
to work. So that's an emergency only freeway.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah, so I from the north Woods. I am very
far away. I might as well be in Guam, I
think where I am in the north Woods, So I
have a lot of options. There are many highways between
where I am and the Sherman Oaks compound of Fox
Sports Radio. And so I got in the cars. You
(06:33):
know what, I'll just play freeway bingo and that's fine.
So I ended up traversing most of the highways and
byways between the north Woods and Treman Oaks. I ended
up taking seven different freeways. What yeah, seven to get
to the mothership of Fox Sports Radio. And so was
(06:56):
there an accident, Yes, there was an accident. Was it
a terrible accident? No, it was not the kind of
accident that should have caused the problem. But by the
time I got to work, the commute took almost it
was between thirty five and forty minutes extra. So it's
almost an extra hour to get to the studio. And
so now, as Paul Harvey would say for the rest
(07:21):
of the story. Now, it was not until the next day.
Then I did some research and I found out a
mole gave me some information. Why did that commute on
a random Sunday night in the Monday morning take seven
freeways and almost forty minutes extra of drive time? Do
(07:46):
you know what was happening, Danny, g to cause that
traffic brew? Haha?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
The Clippers had just wrapped up a championship parade.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Well, it was not a Clipper parade, but it was
in many ways a parade. Very funny, Danny, very funny.
It was in many ways a parade. There was a
rough patch of traffic because I was told that many
of the roads were closed because of a motorcade. What
(08:20):
kind of motorcade? It seems the Vice President Kamala Harris,
who was visiting southern California and for some reason, she
was out driving about when I was on my way
to visit Fox Sports Radio and the vice president's motorcade.
(08:42):
I guess they must have had a force field. Were
they driving through an asteroid belt? Danny, I don't know that.
God forbid you drive among the commoners because your royalty.
I thought we didn't have royalty in the United States,
but I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Maybe we do. So she definitely went on an in
and out run late that night.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I must have must maybe she went to get a
sandwich at Fat sALS or something. I don't know, but
she was definitely not inconvenienced by the great Unwashed, and
so that is why it took forever. It wasn't an accident.
There was an accident, but that wasn't why it caused
the problem. It was simply a motorcade, which is another
(09:26):
reason to be very happy that we do not live
in Washington, DC. Those people must be agonized all the time.
In fact, we have people that listen to this podcast
justin in DC. We've got a couple others in the
DC area, and it must be a freaking nightmare. RW
You never know, because it's not only the president and
(09:46):
the vice president. You've got a bunch of diplomats. Everyone
thinks they're important in Washington. What a shit show that
must be.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
How many police do you think we're involved in that?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I have no idea. I have no idea. You see
the motor case. I wish I had seen the motor kid.
If I had seen the motorcade. That would have made
me feel better. It's like, okay, there's a presidential motor kake.
I remember when as a kid, I was growing up
in Orange County and we were surrounded by two military bases,
and every once in a while, when I was a child,
(10:18):
Air Force one would land at the El Toro Marine
Base and it would no longer exists, and every once
in a while my mom would take us kids out
to see the Air Force one. Right, so we'd show
up and it was always like a big deal. You know.
We couldn't get anywhere close to the airport the runway,
but we saw it from a distance, and so that
(10:40):
was always kind of neat. But I was spitting mad, Danny.
I was pissed off. You gotta be kidding me. I've
not gone to my Bengo cart at night in a
long time, but I had to do it there now
turning the page from that, so I would like to
pivot away. This is another story that does relate as
(11:01):
it's story time on the fifth hour, So this one
does relate to a group of very interesting characters at
at Fox Sports Radio. And these are people, Danny, that
I don't think you have to deal with because you
worked during the day the nighttime security guards at FSR. Yeah,
(11:23):
it's it's it's craziness.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Yeah, I only see parking attendance now, I don't see
any security. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
So we have a security guard. There's a desk right
in the main building and the guy sits there or whatever.
It's changed over the years. Right now, I consider the
period of time we're in right now the Goldilock zone
for the security and here's why. So when I'm leaving
in the middle of the night in LA and I'm
(11:55):
leaving the studios, there the reason it's the Goldilock zone,
I walk by the guard and this is my night
nightly ritual. There's no other way for me to get
to the to the molainmobile other than walking right past
the security guards. So it's it's very difficult, Danny for
me to convey what I have witnessed over the last
few months. The sense of security, the sense of safeness,
(12:19):
comfort that I get when I walk by that security desk.
The people that are there to protect the building, to
protect the people in the building from danger from harm's way,
just outstanding. So the overnight security guard has a habit.
It's kind of his thing here where at night, right
(12:42):
when i'm he must he must time this right when
I walk out of the building. This guy is sawing
logs and it's become a hobby of mine. So I
started this as a gag. I've started taking photos, Danny,
(13:04):
of the security guard, and it really is like whale watch.
You know, I'm not listen. I'm fat. I've always been fat,
I'll always be fat. But you have to understand when
you're fat. You know, some things just don't look particularly good.
You know, some things not think. I'm going to send
you a photo, Danny, and see which one I want
(13:25):
to send you. There's a couple of different versions of
the photo I want, and I don't send this too
many people. There's a couple of people I know that
host radio shows back East, and it's kind of become
our things. It's artistic. I've been told that these photographs
should be in a museum somewhere, that they're that good,
(13:47):
that this is like an Andy Warhol painting, like a
you know, any great photographer, who is the great photographer
from back in the old days that used to take
photos of people and food. I forget the name of
the photographer. I don't. I don't call, but it was.
It was a long time ago, all right, I'll say
you this one. This is the most recent one, and
(14:07):
this is not the greatest work of art that we've had,
but it kind of gives you an idea to kind
of capture the moment here of what we're dealing with.
And this is the as I'm walking to my car,
and this is kind of a side angle.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
It looks like a polar bear twisting in the night.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah, he's uh, he's really going for it. And so
he's getting paid to sleep, and and good for him.
The the other one, which I can't apparently find the
other one, he's fully leaned back in his chair, so
the the belly is like right right up there. I mean,
it's just it's just outstanding. And so I have a
whole collection of those photos and he's just in dreamland.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
It looks like an old John Candy movie.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah, yeah it was, or Paul bart Mallcop. But this
guy's like much bigger than much bigger than that. But yeah,
it was pretty pretty good. So the other thing I've
noticed too, So when I show up, there's a different
security guard, and I've been getting there a couple hours
before the show, because it just logistically works out better.
(15:20):
I can kind of finish up. I go into that
old studio and it's completely quiet, away from everyone. I'm quarantined.
I'm on my own little island. Although people do come
in there and harass me, but anyway, so that's kind
of everything. So I get there and the guy that
used to be the overnight security guard who I think
(15:41):
you know, Danny, the guy that was in the comic books. Oh, yeah,
of course yeah, And he'd make weird comments to you
about your ring being some kind of superhero ring or
something like that, and very nice guy. I like to
get But this guy, see the other security guard just
sleeps while working. This guy actually takes this job seriously, right,
(16:02):
so he follows the protocol. And there's a hot yoga
studio in the building. We're in the I Art building,
and so in the Ihart building, random times should go
getting out of the hot yoga and if I get
there early, the night yoga class people are getting out.
So I see the security guard and he always says hello.
(16:23):
He's very nice, and I say hello to him. And
I'm usually in a hurry because I have to finish
something up. So I see the security guard the other
night and he is he's like a rancher shepherding cattle
out of the parking garage. There's all these women that
are that are there cofitsing there, They're talking, they're schmoozing
(16:47):
in the parking lot, and I'm like, I went up
to I said, what do you what are you?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
You're going up these people. You're trying to get him
a leave? What do you do? So you know what
he told me. He said that he gets a lot
of people who spend too long in the parking lot
and the gym only validates for two hours. And he's like,
these women will be talking for half an hour in
the parking lot and they'll have to pay for their parking,
and then they come and complain to him. So he's
(17:15):
decided to be proactive, Danny and try to shew the
people out of the parking garage because I guess he
gets in trouble if he has to validate. He's not
supposed to validate the parking for them or whatever. You know,
they've charged so much for parking in that building.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
It's insane And it's totally ironic because This dude won't
shut up. If he corners you, he'll blab about something
unimportant for a half hour himself.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Oh yeah, he will hold you down, and he will
give all kinds of weird movie references and stuff. But
he's like, he's really the good guy and all that.
He's a nice guy. But you're right, there is no
such thing as a short conversation. It does not exist.
There is no such thing as a short conversation with
(18:01):
that particular he's one.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Of those guys. When you exit stage left and you
try to make your escape, he's still talking, so you
hear his voice trailing off.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah, and there's no good way to get out of
that kind of conversation. I've tried, I've tried to be polite.
I gotta go, But you're right, he will still go.
He will drone on and on. He's like the energizer
bunny he is. And I don't think he walks around
the building anymore. The rumor, I don't know, he didn't
tell me this. The rumor I heard from somebody else
is they actually asked the security guards not to walk
(18:35):
around the building because they didn't want to get sued
for harassing the homeless people. Oh, speaking of that, I
forgot as a caveat to the whale who was sleeping
there at the security post. So that night I took
that photo. Danny perfect sums up the night complete. So
I take the photo. I get in the malamobile. I'm
(18:58):
in the car, I'm leaving. I go out of the
garage and make the right turn to leave. There's a
security gate. And as I'm leaving the security gate on
the right hand side. You've probably seen this a bunch
of times, Danny. You know where the there's kind of
a cut in and there's a security it's not even security,
it's a fire gate, fire door thing, fire escape. Yeah, yeah,
(19:22):
it's a little cutout. So hand to god, I'm not
lying here. So I saw the security guard sleep and
I get in the car. I'm going out. I clicked
my card key to get out of the parking garage.
And as I'm pulling out of the garage and I
see that little indentation the fire escape. There's two chaps
(19:43):
that are sitting in there, and I don't know exactly
what they were doing, but one was holding what appeared
to be a needle, yes, putting it towards his arm.
I did not stay there to see the conclusion of that.
I can only imagine what.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
They're probably just giving each other flu shots.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Oh sure, maybe it was the COVID vaccine. I don't know,
but yes, So that was my image as I was
leaving the garage. You've got to be joking.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
There's no oh man, as my grandma would say, rest
in peace. This country has gone to hell in a handbasket.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Oh my god. I was like, you gotta be kidding me. Man,
I'm like, what are we doing here? And they were
as happy as to be. I mean, I was only
I drove by them for like, you know, fifteen seconds,
but from what I could see, they seemed very happy.
They weren't bothered that I was driving by. I don't
think they even noticed that I was there. I think
they were in some kind of drunken or probably not drunken,
but some kind of enhanced state. And so they were
(20:42):
they were, they were really happy. And so that was
my night the other night. What a night it was,
What a night it was. So we have to get
side and typical, Danny, are you ready to get scientifical?
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Weird science?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
And that means io.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Ow I don't think he has an intro for scientifical.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
No, you gotta get on that ohioow bat job by
you bat y'ab by me. All right, let's get to
scientifical right now. In my head, everything has some kind
of musical accompaniment dans, so just play along, just play along.
So this is a story that could have been in
the Safari Kingdom, But of course it is not, because
we're not doing that this week. But scientists say that kingaroos,
(21:32):
here's another story about kangaroos. Every week we've got a
kangaroo story. Scientists are not claiming that kangaroos did not
always hoppity hop how about that wow honic animal of Australia.
They think at one point walked on two legs. Of course,
(21:53):
this would be millions of years ago. Extinct kangaroo species
related to those that are alive today, according to scientists
that have researched their remains, most likely walked upright. Scientists
reviewing the fossils of kangaroos the relatives of the modern kangaroo.
(22:14):
This goes back twenty five million years, they claim, and
they say they likely does that mean at some point
human beings could be like kangaroos and hop and have
that amazing energy. And why do you think the kangaroos
started hopping? What's up with that? Was that a survival technique?
(22:37):
Was that because they were trying to go quicker and
to have legs as strong as a kangaroo?
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Man?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Those things are are? They just naturally must be like that? Right?
Do you ever fall into a rabbit hole where you
watch kangaroos fighting on youtubet tonight? Some people like the
kangaroos fighting with people, But the kangaroo kangaroo battle, that's
(23:05):
an even matchup. What do they fight over? They must
fight over women?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Right?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Is that all animals fight over women? Is that why?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
I assume that's what they were boxing over.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, it's like the rams running into each other.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
To try to get try to pick it on a
loose football.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Exactly. Well, here's good news. If you do not like rats.
This is big news, especially in New York. More on that,
I think we'll save that for Saturday's podcast. But catching rats,
you get away from me. We are told this is
about to get a lot easier. Scientists claim they have
discovered a chemical that makes rodents less wary The wiley
(23:50):
rodents who are very good at evading capture sciences, found
a pheromone which they can't. They claim calms the rats.
I guess you put the rats in a like a
sleep state and it calms them down and it's much easier.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
So kind of like when you smoke out a beehive.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Look, the rats are all high here,
and these compounds, when released from the rats, it calms
into the in the wild, calms the rats. You know
what they should do. They should close the New York
City subway system, Danny, and for two days just pump
the pheromones into the New York City subway system. That
(24:34):
would be a solution to the wild vermin that are
all over all over New York.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Rats would match all of the kids nowadays on their
phones and devices a bunch of zombies.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah, and the zombie apocalypse. I heard
our friend from the Morning Show, LeVar Arrington, was complained
as he coaches young football players, and he pretty much
laid out that all young football players are essentially zombies
at this point, the vast majority of them, because they
just grew up watching YouTube or playing video games, and
(25:13):
so they're just like in a zombie state, which is disappointing,
but not not all that surprising.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Put your damn phone down for a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Yeah, are we sounding like our parents? I think right,
isn't that.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Get out there? Plus they told us put your beeper away.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yeah, stop watching TV and get outside and live in
the real world. Okay, Well, here's an interesting thing. It
says that by the year twenty one hundred. I love
these predictions on the future. This is a science story.
They claim based on what the evolution of home workers.
(25:55):
They said, experts have an idea of what homeworkers will
look like by the US two thousand. They claim that
home people that work at home will have hunchbacks, they'll
have dark, swollen eyes, and their hands will be clawlike
by which year twenty one hundred, so seventy years from now,
(26:18):
potentually a little more in that. This is done by
the University of Leeds And they said that because so
many people have decided to not go back to work
and they're working from home and all that, that this
is all going to happen. And I am calling bullshit
on this one. I'm calling bullshit on this, but they
(26:42):
the drawings are quite quite scare of what this would
would look like. It shows a woman sitting on her
bed with a laptop and she's got like a dog
bowl and some snacks and a drink, and yeah, I'm
gonna go No, I'm gonna say that that's not going
(27:03):
to happen. But what do I know? And what else
do we have on scientific How about this one? This
is another good story along the same train of thought.
Here are ten tech breakthroughs that are predicted, yes, predicted,
to change our lives this century, this century. Do you
(27:24):
see this?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
No? But flying automobiles better be on the list.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
People would need flying automobiles if they just stay at
home and they become hunchbacks with eyes, they wouldn't need
any of that. They'd be like, hey, I'm good, I
don't need anything here. I'm good to go knock me out.
So these predictions are fun, I do. I would like
to say the prediction stories are even better when you
go back into the archive and go back one hundred
(27:59):
years from today or two hundred years and when people
predicted what the world would be like. It's great. But
there's another story out. This is from a consulting website
and they have issued all these things that they believe
will be part of the world within one hundred years.
(28:21):
They say that people will wear are contact lenses and
what is that said? You will no longer need a smartphone.
You will use an AR technology, which is AI contact
lenses to display the information that is on your phone today.
(28:46):
That you will just put these contact lenses in and
your daily use all your daily things, everything you need.
You'll scan the internet, You'll have everything, and you'll all
just use your eye. That's it.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
In my eyes. That doesn't sound und comfortable at all.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Well, then you're up shit creek without a paddle. Danny Apps,
I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
If I have an iPad, we'll be able to be like,
look at that dude, he's old school.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Yeah, look at that. Look at that boomer. Look at
that guy. Right, I'll have to change it up from boomer.
Another prediction, they say that AI will enable us to
be telepathic. Yeah, oh yeah, According to a doctor at
the Institute of Analytics, artificial intelligence will Artificial intelligence will
(29:32):
enable machines to peer inside our minds and will make
humans telepath. That mind reading will no longer just be
in science fiction. They claim, I don't I don't want that.
I don't want somebody reading my mind. I do not
(29:52):
Do you want that? Who wants that? Does anyone want that?
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Well, if what you're surfing on in your case being
through your eyeballs, they'll now go into your brain and
know what commercials to play in your eyes.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Yeah, that's just what I need. That's just well, here's
something that I do support. They predict that within the
next century that human beings will have an AI butler.
That'd be good, right, A servant, an AI servant to
help you prepare. It says it will help you prepare meals,
(30:32):
help you with workouts, and put your work schedule together
and all that stuff. How would AI help you make dinner?
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I guess step by step the voice would walk you
through a recipe.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
They say sometimes between twenty sometimes between twenty thirty and
twenty fifty, we will see intelligent personal assistance that can
solve complex tasks. Complex task can Yes, I guess they
wouldn't actually able to make Yeah, they just as you said, Dany,
they'd be advised. But don't we already have that. They'd
be advising we have, we have YouTube they advise us
how to alexa.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
But if you could choose the voice, I would want
Gordon Ramsey while I'm in the kitchen, you.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Idiot, that'd be good. I'd like that guy Bangham. You know, yeah,
what's again? Merrill? Is that guy? The guy Meryl the chef?
You know?
Speaker 3 (31:27):
Oh yeah, Bangham.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Some other predictions, people will swallow digital pills to pre
diagnose illness. Don't they already have that? They can put
a camera inside you, right, can't they do that with
some things? That's that's right out of the matrix. The
prediction says that people would be able to swallow a
digital pill with iningestible sensors, and then they will be
(31:55):
able to be pre warned on possible medical conditions that
could be coming up down the line.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Yeah, Well, here's one right out of the terminator. They
say that people will replace body parts with robotics. I
don't know. You think that's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
I don't know about that. Say you die, they can
bring you back in the part of your body that's wrecked.
They just make that part robotic, so you'd be half man,
half machine.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
They claim they can claim whatever they want, right, it's
a claim. They say that by the twenty sixties, so
about forty years.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
We will not We just got to hang on then, Ben,
We'll never die.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
There you go, man, we'll be good. We just got
to make it another forty years. They say we won't
be just living longer, but we'll be in better health
than ever before. But they also say the technology, the
fields of robotics and human augmentation, that instead of the
natural aging and all that, that'll all be eliminated. Okay,
(33:04):
thank god, wonderful, can't wait. I think we'll leave it.
There's a bunch of other things here, but I think
those are something the bigger ones. I love, Biggie, and
that'll be the way to go. Although they did say
Wall Street's can be completely screwed here because AI will
be able to predict the stocks going up. So if
(33:28):
everyone knows which stocks are going to go up, wouldn't
then that destroy Wall Street? If everyone knows everyone has
insider information.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
And boom goes to dynamite.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah, anyway, all right, we'll get out on that. It
is Friday, Danny, anything you would like to promote here
on a glorious Friday in June, the twenty third day
of the month.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Here still working, You finished your on airshift. That's right, man,
I'm going to go into the studios this afternoon for
a fun Friday show with Covino and Rich two to
four pm on the West Coast five to seven pm
