Kubbooms.
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 in the.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
A Andreewaere back at it, a brand spanking new edition
of the Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny g.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
We thank you for joining us on our weekend adventure.
This is a companion podcast. Danny, we keep people company.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
It's quite the companion because last weekend, every time I
was about to go out to the Strip or Fremont
Street and get in trouble, I was like, none, No,
let me turn on the Fifth Hour podcast and work
on that sucker.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah clearly, see yeah, you know, don't go out there
and take part in the human cesspool, the jellyfish that
are swimming around on Freemont Street. But that's my favorite. See,
that's my spot. Though I liked, I like freemonths p.
I'm sure You'll have plenty of stories this weekend about
your your Vegas sojourn. But on this podcast, the Friday
(01:25):
Podcast as we like to call it, or you can
listen whenever you want. But the malor Polooza post game,
we paid big money for this, Danny g. We have
the exclusive post game from the most important night of
overnight sports radio during the month of July, the malor
Poloosa Never Heard of Them, which was a stunning show.
(01:47):
We'll go over all the details. Nobody else has this
content that you're about to hear. You will not hear
this on anyone else. ESPN wishes they had at CBS, NBC,
but only here on the fifth hour we hear that
we have a bit of diplomacy the phrase of the week,
and we will get side typical. We can get scientifical
(02:09):
as well. But we begin with what was a magical,
magical night, a festival of audio goodness, as we welcomed
the great Unwashed. And I've said for many years we've
done this talent show we called the Malard Palooza. Now
we've done it for a long time, and I've always
(02:29):
pointed out a listen, a lot of people that are
kind of hidden that are up late because they can't
sleep or they're working or whatever brings them to the
to the radio show. And these people need to be
celebrated because they got talent. And that's not puffery and
all that we've heard it. We've heard it over the years.
(02:50):
We've we've had people that have been very good. And
so this is the one night of the year where
we wax poetic and allow allow well regular peoples call
a show to do their thing. And this year we
had a bunch of acts. I was a little concerned
though if you listened to the show, we had some
(03:11):
confusion about the actual date. Cooper Loop was away the
week before, so we had a couple of dates we
were looking at. I was very worried it wasn't gonna
work out because when we went on the air on
Sunday night in the Monday, we only had two acts.
That's not enough acts. You need more than to act.
(03:33):
So there was a bit of panic at the Audio
dojo as we were we were trying to figure out, like,
are we gonna get enough people to do this? Has
this kind of played out? You know, you're always worried
about that because we only do it once a year.
And the greatest one of these things we ever did was,
and I can be effusive in my praise because it
(03:53):
was amazing, was during COVID because nobody had anything to do,
and nobody had and if you have jobs, nobody was working.
People were just sitting around and board out of their mind,
pulling their hair out.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
The vaccine gave people superpowers.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yes, yes, clearly outstanding abilities, uh to do all kinds
of things. And so that was a very impressive, very
impressive Malard Palooza. And we've done it every year since.
We take one night usually around the All Star week
in baseball, because that is the primo spot on the
calendar to do something like this, and we let it,
(04:36):
let it flow, and it was it was great. We
ended up having a ton of acts. In fact, we
actually didn't even have time, as it turned out, for
everyone that wanted to be part of it. We ran
out of slots. And here's how it went. On the acts.
We started with Matt, who began the festivities from from Nashville. Now,
(04:59):
Matt had a very very unique act on the show,
and it was controversial because Eddie did not appreciate the
gift that this man had and Cooper Loop and the
you know, Chris was in that night running the board.
And these guys did not quite grasp the magic that
we were listening to now was not a perfect performance.
(05:23):
But this cat Matt who ended up in the top four,
he did the nose trumpet. He sounded like he was
playing the trumpet with his nose. What an amazing gift,
What a gift. And we were lucky to hear that.
We had Mitchell called in. We had a couple guys
(05:43):
named Mitchell. Mitchell at Ohio. We had Pam. Now this
is an interesting story, Danny. So Pam called us up
from Seattle. She's never called the show before. And she
played the viola, not the violin, No no, no old,
and she let me tell you something. All right, I'm
(06:03):
gonna go Mary Poppins. I'm gonna go Mary pop ups
on hers. She was super califragilistic, xbiali dosies. She was amazing.
It was superb and we were like show. She played
the baseball like kind of sound you'd hear at the
the organ the baseball game. Obviously it was not an organ,
but that song you hear at baseball games to fire
(06:23):
up the crowd.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Yeah, it was cool.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
We had Chris Do I think, oh Chris, Oh Mitchell,
I think I go out to the original Mitchell was
I think the guitar guy. And then Chris and some
of the guys were offended because he played the guitar
and he just did it on his phone. We had
a guy named Chris who did comedy, no key card guy.
We had the Boston Burper. That's a big time act,
(06:47):
the Boston Burper. This guy burped the entire mallord oath. Yeah,
and and people said, I got some criticism, Danny because
people said I overrated. I built up this guy two
months and I think I undervalued the Boston Burper. That
is a superpower. That is more of a superpower than
(07:07):
iron Man has. Iron Man just wears a suit. This
guy has the god given ability to burp on command.
And that was superior. It was just awesome. So Boston Burper.
We had Kathy and Madison. She submitted an act. We
love Kathy. Michael was in this Dick and Dayton without
(07:31):
any musical instrument. The Dixter got up there and did
his thing. Part of the Mallard Paloosa.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Did he go acapella?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
You know the thing that Dick does, and he's got
this technique despite the fact that he's in multiple bands.
It's fascinating because he will start out singing the song
perfectly and then at some point, and we're not sure why,
he just starts mumbling. He mumbles some of the lyrics
(08:03):
and it's fascinating. And I'm pretty confident Danny that Dick
and Dayton has not heard any of the podcasts that
we do. Dick is old school. He is terrestrial radio.
I imagine he has like a one that takes like
three double A batteries. He's such an anomaly, like he's
(08:23):
stuck back in time and I love him, but I'm
almost positive he's never heard the podcast because that would
be a departure from what he knows, right, and he's
nobody wants to leave their comfort zone and all that,
so he pretty much bear hugs.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
The radio. Oh, he's definitely a transistor radio boy.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah. Yeah, and AM radio, not FM radio. Am radio
because that's what was the first radio, is am radio,
and then the FM came and now it's all streaming
and digital and all that. But I'm guessing the dixter
bumps heads with the FM dial because there's a lot
of musical He's a sports guy. Although many sports stations
(09:05):
around the country, not in LA, but many sports stations
are now on FM and all on the stream and
and all that. So we had Dick and Dayton. Who
else did we have? We had Ohio Al, the man
from this podcast who's done so so many wonderful things
for this podcast, and he really packed a wallap ohio
(09:26):
Al a wonderful tune about the show. He made references
to so many great callers on the show. That was
a lot of fun. We had Mitchell in Ohio who
tried stand up comedy.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
I'm sure that went well.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yeah, I did not go well. Michael also, I believe
did stand up come He was I think Pennsylvania want
to say, I'm trying to remember at the time I had,
but he was. He was pretty good. It's very difficult
to do stand up comedy. It's very hard because you
have no we don't react, and you have nobody, you know,
(10:00):
nobody that's really playing along with you. We ow no
key card guy. I think he did the malor battle
cry like a like a boot camp you know in
boot camp when you're marching, you know those military movies
where you yeah, you have to chant. He did that.
That was good. Mitchell and Ohios he said he did comedy.
That was a disaster. Marcel and Brooklyn closed it out
(10:22):
the Mallard Palooza and Marcel really nailed it. He absolutely
nailed it there. Marcell was awesome. What yeah, Marcell was great.
I don't know, he just started singing. You know, he's
doing his thing.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
This isn't that the number one station anymore?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Is It's?
Speaker 5 (10:40):
It was good. I thought that was good.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
So the winner of the vote, the studio vote, those
of us that were judges, we had Jay Scoop and
more on that in a minute. The studio vote, the
top three on the studio vote we had Ohio. Al
came in in third place, so he got the bronze medal.
The silver medal went to Pam from Seattle to Viola,
(11:06):
And the winner of the studio vote was the Boston Burper.
He did not get a perfect score. Did not get
a perfect score, but the Boston Burper got a forty
seven and a half out of a possible fifty. That's
pretty damn good.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
This sounds like the scoring of the Slam dunk competition.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah no, no, no, no, no, this was this one
not now. There were some shenanigans with Chris totally screwed
over Marcel because Marcell doesn't know who Chris is, and
so Chris was offended by that and docked him, gave him,
I believe a zero on that. So that was that
(11:50):
was ourwas so and we had the vote of the public.
You know what, who won that based on the Twitter
And we had the top four up there, and Marcel
would have been in the top four if he had
not gotten is there He needed a two. If he'd
gotten a two from Chris, he would have been there.
And then as a surprise, Danny, the day after the
(12:10):
mal Or palooza, Blair in Maine called up and he
was all upset, right, he was. He was a glass
house of emotion. He was bouncing around. And there was
a bit of controversy in the show, a little bit
of a hullabaloo because Blair said I'm not I'm not
(12:30):
worried about Marcel while going on a rant making a
commotion about Marcel. So they continue their great rivalry as
that goes on. Those two guys, Boy, what a kerfluffle
they have had a side by side on this, so
that was that was interesting. We had random We had
(12:51):
some people who stand up. Tony from the Bay Area
just did stand up. These are not professionalis and inca terror.
I love n because he was not the judge this year.
Jay Scoop was, but Inka Tereara's like, it's a lot
easier to do the talent show when you're not actually
being judged, which is a fair point. These guys just
(13:11):
called up. They kept doing acts. We had some scratch
off sing a little bit. It was interesting. It was
like a trying to grab power, trying to take over
the airwaves the day after.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
So definitely have the most talented listeners in all of radio.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Well you can't compete with a burper, a nose trumpet.
I mean, we had legitimate music from Pam and Seattle.
So it was a magical night all the way around
and thanks to everyone that participated. We'll do it again
next year, same time, same batstation. Hopefully if you missed
out this year, you can do something next year. But
(13:50):
I've learned over the years most people do not plan
for months for this. Some people do, but most people
just if they happen to be listening and they have something,
they'll just go for it. We had multiple big names
in studio this week, Danny, we had listeners. Now that
COVID's long gone, we're able to have people back in
the audio dojo. And it started out with Rod, the
(14:14):
ambassador of Bakersfield, who you've met. Yeah, Rod's good people.
He blessed us with an appearance. He and his lovely
wife drove down from Baker's Field, which is about one
hundred miles as the crow flies from.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
His drunk friend wasn't with him this time.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
No, no, I did bust his chops about that. Yeah, Yeah,
he did bust his chops about that. Yeah. He famously
drove down with this drunk dude and we had We
had to get Rod to the lead because we were
worried the guy was going to break stuff.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Not good.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
So I caught up with Rob. We had outseeen Rod.
Rod had some little medical maladies, not little, they were
kind of big, and he explained everything. But he's back,
he's working, he's doing his thing. Life's back to normal,
which is wild considering how sick Rod was. And then
later in the week had jayscoop on the malor palooza. I,
as we mentioned, we changed it up. Inca Terror has
(15:06):
been the judge for years from New York, the classically
trained pianist from New York, well not originally from New York,
but living there in upstate New York, and he's been
part of the pianist Well, well, you know whatever, I
don't I don't tell you call it. Is that what
you call it? What you call it? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Thing? Yeah, he said, pianist, I said, pianist.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah. Well, you know you're FCC.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
Is going to shut us down either way.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I don't have to worry about that. I think we're good. Yeah,
So Jay Scoop filled in stepped in this year. Jayscoop
gave me the gift of Ukrainian money. I have never
touched Ukrainian money. I now own two hundred dollars or
whatever they call their money there in Ukraine, a gift
of Jay Scoop. We figured out that two hundred dollars
(15:57):
in Ukrainian money is worth five dollars in US money.
So you'll be a baller if you go to the Ukraine.
Of course, you'll also have to deal with missiles coming
over your head and landing on you. Speaking of that,
Jayscoop is going back to the Ukraine on the day
(16:18):
of the MLB trade deadline August. First. He's gonna do planes, trains,
and automobiles. There are no direct flights to Ukraine because
there's a war going on, so the airlines don't want
to fly into a war zone, and so Jayscoop's got
to go into that demilitarized zone. And he explained kind
of how he gets there, Danny, but he'll he'll fly
(16:41):
to a country near the Ukraine. He'll then take a
train and then finally I think he will take a
car to cross over into that country. And he said
that most of the time he's planning on being in Kiev,
which is the big city there, or Kiev, I guess
they call it now now. But he would not go
(17:02):
into a lot of details. He's not fighting for Ukraine,
but he is running missions, you know, bringing supplies out
to the to the military people that are fighting the Russians.
So we wish Jay Scoop a lot of fun. It
was great to meet him in Big Lou or not Meat,
I already met him, but Big Lou from the LBC.
What can Lou do for you? Big Lou stop by.
(17:26):
That was pretty cool to catch up with Big Lou.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Well did he bring fat cells?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, but I'm upset with Cooper Loop. Let me tell
you something. Okay, So, as you know, I'm doing this
intermittent fasting, so I don't eat. I eat once a day.
I try not to eat at night, you know whatever.
So listeners come by, and there's been a tradition with
the people that show up that if you come by,
you got to bring bring some right, usually food, pretty easy,
(17:54):
that's the price to get in if you want to
see the radio station and on it. So Rod brought
fat cells and Coop asked if I wanted fat seals,
and I said no, that's very very nice of Rod,
the Ambassador Vegas Field. But I'm doing my diet. I'm okay.
So then Big Lou came in like a couple nights later.
I was like, hey, Big Louz, I got food and
(18:16):
all that. I got some food. Coop didn't even ask,
he just assumed that I did not want fat cells. Hey,
it's not right. That's that is a faux pas by
the Kooper Loop. So you know, I tried to use
some diplomacy and all that I tried to be polite
and I was like, you know, listen, here's you know,
(18:38):
here's the deal. But even though I'm doing this ridiculous,
fugazy diet, I want Coop to be a mensch, and
a mensch was like, hey, do you want a sandwich?
Because maybe I would fall off the wagon. Maybe I
would say, Okay, I'll take that sandwich because I love
the fat cell sandwich. I'll eat the sandwich. I'll be
happy with the sandwich, and then i'll fast after the sandwich.
(19:00):
But I was not given that opportunity, so that that
rubbed me the wrong way. The phrase of the week
the phrase, oh wait, this is an actual phrase. We
tell you about the origin of the phrase that is
in the lexicon. And the phrase of the week this
week is butter him up. You ever talk a version
(19:20):
of that, I'm gonna butter that person up.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
You know, like you go into it, You're gonna the wheel.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Exactly, You're go into it. You're trying to flatter someone, right,
That's how you'd say, you butter them up. You're gonna
butter their popcorn.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
So I use this from time to time. I think
most people do. They're trying to get a job, you're
trying to win a you know, date and all that.
You know, you know, try to butter the other person up.
And so this actually goes back this fascinating the term
butter him up or butter her up goes back to
ancient India. Who knew, as Vic the Brick would say,
(19:55):
So it goes back to ancient India. There's a a
customary re religious act in ancient India, and here's what
it involves. So devotees would try to I was the
way I'm sure they would ask for forgiveness or ask
for a favor from their gods. The gods were statues.
(20:17):
They had statues the gods. The gods aren't actually there
because they just had the statue. So they would throw
balls of butter at the statues of their gods in
ancient India. And that was meant as a way to
ask the gods for forgiveness if they fucked up excuse
my language, excuse my French, or asked for a favor
(20:39):
if they needed something. So it's throwing actual butter at
statues of ancient gods. You think they still do that
in India.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
I don't know. But butter makes everything better.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
When in doubt, throw butter out.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
That's the one. I mean.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
You think about the best restaurants we like, and it's
because they butter everything up.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yeah, Butter's wonderful. You can butter your biscuits, you can
butter your you know anything.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I make pizza, garlic twists. You can put little butter
on that. It just the flavor. I'm baking cookies all
the time. Obviously butter a big part of that. But
you can't go wrong with the butter. You cannot go
wrong with butter. Time Now for a brief, brief trip
into the scientifical world, and that means our guy Ohio
(21:37):
au silence. So these are some science stories that we've
(21:57):
uncovered from the week, and we determined in honor of
that old show I used to love it, Penn and Teller,
these old comedians did a TV show and it was
bullshit was the name of the show. You had to
figure out what is real and what is you know
bs and here we go. So can you hear it?
Scientists have proven that people can hear silence for the
(22:23):
first time, you have a sound of silence and all that. Yeah,
a new study found that our brains actively process silence itself,
and people also thought one continuous silence was longer than
two separate ones. So somewhere that old Simon and Garfuckle
(22:49):
tune right, that's back back in the front burner now.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
So I have a pair of wireless that have noise canceling,
and when I turn that sucker up to ten, it's
a beautiful sound of nothing.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, I do like going in. One thing I like
about going into the radio station is not the long drive,
not the burning of gas, none of that. Not the
vagrants that I have to walk past to get to
the building in La none of that. But when I
come in there, I usually get there about an hour
(23:27):
before the show, so I can kind of do some
last minute things because there's games going on. And I'll
go into the old studio and it is so quiet
in there. There's no noise, and I love it. I
absolutely love it. It's so good. I can just sit
in there and I can concentrate. There's nothing messing with
me at all, no sounds, nothing.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
The only thing you can hear in there is cockroaches
rubbing their legs together.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Well, yeah, and if a skunk ever gets in the air, conditioning.
The air conditioning vents are right above that room, and
so that means we would just be completely carpetbaged who
ever is in there with that. But scienceists have proven
you can't hear the sound of science. This one seems
kind of obvious from the science world, but it says that,
and this is important for you, Danny. You got a
(24:16):
little fella pop it out here in a few minutes
a few days. And they say that playing board games
can make your child perform better in school. So buy
a bunch of old school board games and when your
kid's old enough, there and they say games based on
numbers like Monopoly and things like that can actually it's
(24:38):
been proven that they help math. Isn't this kind of
obvious though? Do you really need to study? Do you
need a bunch of scientists to get together and make
a big deal. But I don't know.
Speaker 5 (24:47):
I played at all.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
It was one of the reasons my mom would throw
all the board games down in front of us and say,
get off your stupid Nintendo and play a board game.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Yeah. I played a bunch of board games, but that's
because that you know, we're around the same age, Danny.
We didn't really have and once the Nintendo things started,
and then you got that one, the duck Hunt game
with the oh yeah, wow, that's my duck. That was
that was great.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
That was good.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
But we played Monopoly, Shoots and Ladders, we played Clue,
we play house Trap, but I played that Hungry Hungry Hippo.
That was kind of cool. Operation all the big ones,
all the big games back in the day, and spoiler alert,
I sucked at math, but I played those games. I
(25:37):
use a version of math, I call it malord math,
which which I like. Well, here's a fun story from
the science world and the environmental wackos. As the late
Rush Limbaugh would say, it would have a He would
have a field day with this if he was still around.
So there is new research out there says having a
fish tank is as bad for the environment as wait
(25:59):
for it, driving what. Yeah. Yeah, they're claiming that having
you know, a couple of goldfish and all that. They
say that that is the problem. Keeping a tank of fish,
you know, tropical fish or whatever, contributes as much greenhouse
(26:21):
gas as driving thousands of miles in a car on
a motorbike a car or motorbike. According to a study
this was done by some fed up university named Cardiff
University Water Research Institute in the UK, and they claim
that they're in the In the United Kingdom, there's four
(26:43):
million households that own a pet fish, and it's estimated
seventy percent of those that keep fish have a tropical
freshwater aquarium, which of course is killing the world. Oh
my god, everything we do, Dan, he's killing the world.
Have you noticed that? Have you noticed the trend? There?
A shortness to.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Breadth and pain in my left arm and my left shoulder.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
And I'll say, hell, I say, Coop, make sure this
guy gets some some medical attention.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Coop.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yeah, So they say, accorded to estimates depending on the
size and the running conditions, on average, a tropical aquarium
produces an estimated eighty five point three kg of CO
two per year. They say that if you do the
math on that, it's the same as traveling three thousand,
four hundred and eighty three miles on a motorcycle. Is
(27:40):
the is the claim. So there you go. I never
had a fish thing. I well, I'd not sure I
had a goldfish, but these coldfish lasted like a couple
of days and that was it. He had to flush them,
give them the burial at sea, and flush them out
down the toilet and all that.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
How does that work? Ben?
Speaker 4 (27:56):
If you were to take a motorcycle that many thousands
of mine files, you'd be taking your pollution on the
road literally. But if you have a stationary tank, is
that just polluting your little area.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
The reason this story doesn't make sense is because it's bullshit.
That's why it's bullshit. That's why the story doesn't make sense.
There's a bunch of space stories. I don't know how
many is we want to get into. But scientists claim
they've discovered a giant heat emitting radioactive object buried on
the Moon. You want to explain that one, Danny buried
(28:32):
on the Moon, Yes, buried on the Moon. They don't
believe it came from the US Space Mission. They didn't
bury any radioactive stuff on the Moon.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
This definitely came from a crew from Mars who we
have yet to meet.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
But hopefully they do not turn us into As a
congress person said this week, UFOs have the technology to
turn us into charcoal briquettes. Yeah, that's that's uplifting, thank you.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Yes, finally we met some other life form and they
take out flame throwers.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yes, and we're we're in a barbecue. On that train
of thought, a new discovery suggesting in the science world
that there could that's a weasel word, could be alien
life on Venus. Yeah. This is the coining of research
conducted by Royal Astronomical Society, and they revealed the presence
(29:34):
of FOSSi Fossiphena believe it is in the atmosphere and Venus. Anyway,
they put all this crap together and they a new
study here here this year claims that they believe there
could be goblins alien life on Venus. Wouldn't that be
(29:58):
something if all these creatures that supposedly are visiting the
planet are actually just from a few planets over, and
they're not from far far away out you know, deep
in deep space. They're just right next to us.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Yeah, we just did we We didn't lift the most
obvious rock right next to us.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Yeah. Yeah. What if you like the moon? You know that?
I mean I saw a twilight zone when I was
a kid. My dad just loved the toilets O Bay recipes.
But they had like the backside of the moone like
we've only visited one part of them. With the backside.
That's where all the action is, you know, that's where
all the the people live or whatever they're called.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Well, you know, we sanitize the spacecraft that we send
to Mars because forever we've known that that planet has
the best conditions for life to be on the planet.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
So it's interesting. I've not heard this about Venus before.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Yeah, it just came out this last week. We'll get
out on this. The latest creature from hell in Australia.
Did you guys talk about this on Cavino and Rich Danny.
There was a footage from Australia went viral on TikTok
eleven million views allegedly. I think most of those are bots,
but a lot of views supposedly. And this thing looks
(31:16):
like a hybrid between how would I describe it. It's
got like some qualities of a lobster mixed with a scorpion.
It's wild. I never seen any nobody had ever seen
anything like this before. And so this was in Western Australia.
(31:36):
So I want to know if our friend Ozzie was
had ever seen one of these things, if he knows
what we're talking about. So it's got like wings and
it looks like it's got a stinger. It's stabbed in
the video clip, it stabbed the air. It's got a
sharp tail, like I said, it's got like a hybrid
(31:59):
of a stick and a scorpion. And people are trying
to figure out what a was. So they finally found out.
According to an entomologist from Western Australia, they said, this
is a walking stick insect. And they said that it's
actually not venomous, even though it looks like the stuff
(32:22):
you had nightmares about when you were eight years old.
They say that it's not venomous and that the reason
no one's ever seen it before is because it's so
good at camouflaging. It's like a chameleon. It blends into
its environment so people don't see them. And they're out
in Western Australia where Ozzie Wahz and like five other
(32:42):
people live, and they say that despite all the video
clip and all the dancing and all that these things
ten inches long, they say that they they are not
venomous as I said, they're they're tremendous at camouflage and
that this is just a technique that they use, this
this dance routine. It's a defense mechanism to ward off
(33:05):
potential predators.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
So well, it's not venomous, what's the purpose of it?
Speaker 4 (33:13):
If I ever get to meet God, I'm going to
take out my old school Al Davis projector. Yeah, and
I'm going to go through certain species like this and
ask him what was the point of this one?
Speaker 5 (33:24):
How about that one? What's the point of this one
right here?
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Yeah? Well, why do alligators have such short little, you know, legs,
but they have the massive mouth and the teeth and
all that.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Yeah, you're just trying to give us a chance?
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Yeah, what's that about? Have you seen this thing? By
the way to anyhow? You want me to send you
the clip?
Speaker 5 (33:43):
All right?
Speaker 1 (33:43):
I mean, let me quick on this here s it's
on the Evil TikTok. Are you on? You're not a
TikTok we're too old? Yeah, no, no, we don't do
the TikTok. Oh, they deleted the page.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Actually, we appreciate you being a custom since twenty fifteen.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Yes, operators are standing by. We'll get to your call
as soon as possible. So I sent the link. It
should be delivered here and just scroll down and there's
a little video clip. It's not very long. It's been
viewed eleven point seven million times at this point. The
Creature from Hell, The Creature from Hell. See here you
(34:27):
got Oh, I found that. I actually found the direct link.
If you want, I can send it to this just
worked here. It's just oh and I'm looking at it
right now. Yeah. Yeah, doesn't that look like something out
of a like.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
A Yeah, but.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
They need to put a quarter or a penny next
to it so we have, you know, perspective.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
How big is that thing?
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Big enough? Yeah, it's hard. It is hard to tell
from that how big it is. But you can click on.
Oh wait, all, I think I cicked the wrong and
see that's the link of it. That's the sound of
it there. Yeah, anyway, we'll get out on that. It
is Friday, Dandy, a day of rest for me after
doing the overnight show. You have work to be done today,
(35:09):
do you not? You have things to do today?
Speaker 5 (35:12):
I am off because Covino and rich are off today.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Oh they are. Oh so when they're off, you're you
don't have to work? Huh?
Speaker 4 (35:20):
Well yeah, that's a pipe dream, because they're off next
Tuesday and Wednesday, and I'm working those days.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
So no Tuesday, Wednesday, you never supposed to take Tuesday
and Wednesday. You just take Monday and Friday. You don't
take Tuesday and Wednesday.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
Well they're off Monday too, but I'm taking that one off.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Oh you are taking Monday. Yeah, it's next week a holiday?
Is there some kind of a no?
Speaker 5 (35:43):
This is this is the weekday, the five days.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
They broke it up in between two weeks, but these
were their summer days off.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Ah, so they they missed the mark a little bit
because next week you have the franchise tag deadline day
to sign con on Monday, and then Tuesday NFL training camp.
How about that? NFL training camp begins for some teams
on Tuesday. I believe Tuesday. That's why they do the
franchise take deadline. But you know that's just guys getting
hurt at training camp. We'll get out, have a wonderful
(36:14):
day today. We got a full week in a podcast.
Wait to hear the story never before told story Life
of mallor life of Danny. I know, Danny, You've got
some great stories you're gonna tell from Vegas, right, Some
things that happened there last weekend.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
A bunch of hookers in cocaine.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Oh yeah, that and Jerry West I think I don't
know anyway, and Chuck the Condor have a wonderful rest
of your day. We'll talk to you next time.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
See you tomorrow later. Skater gotta murder, I gotta go.
Kubbooms.
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 in the.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
A Andreewaere back at it, a brand spanking new edition
of the Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny g.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
We thank you for joining us on our weekend adventure.
This is a companion podcast. Danny, we keep people company.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
It's quite the companion because last weekend, every time I
was about to go out to the Strip or Fremont
Street and get in trouble, I was like, none, No,
let me turn on the Fifth Hour podcast and work
on that sucker.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah clearly, see yeah, you know, don't go out there
and take part in the human cesspool, the jellyfish that
are swimming around on Freemont Street. But that's my favorite. See,
that's my spot. Though I liked, I like freemonths p.
I'm sure You'll have plenty of stories this weekend about
your your Vegas sojourn. But on this podcast, the Friday
(01:25):
Podcast as we like to call it, or you can
listen whenever you want. But the malor Polooza post game,
we paid big money for this, Danny g. We have
the exclusive post game from the most important night of
overnight sports radio during the month of July, the malor
Poloosa Never Heard of Them, which was a stunning show.
(01:47):
We'll go over all the details. Nobody else has this
content that you're about to hear. You will not hear
this on anyone else. ESPN wishes they had at CBS, NBC,
but only here on the fifth hour we hear that
we have a bit of diplomacy the phrase of the week,
and we will get side typical. We can get scientifical
(02:09):
as well. But we begin with what was a magical,
magical night, a festival of audio goodness, as we welcomed
the great Unwashed. And I've said for many years we've
done this talent show we called the Malard Palooza. Now
we've done it for a long time, and I've always
(02:29):
pointed out a listen, a lot of people that are
kind of hidden that are up late because they can't
sleep or they're working or whatever brings them to the
to the radio show. And these people need to be
celebrated because they got talent. And that's not puffery and
all that we've heard it. We've heard it over the years.
(02:50):
We've we've had people that have been very good. And
so this is the one night of the year where
we wax poetic and allow allow well regular peoples call
a show to do their thing. And this year we
had a bunch of acts. I was a little concerned
though if you listened to the show, we had some
(03:11):
confusion about the actual date. Cooper Loop was away the
week before, so we had a couple of dates we
were looking at. I was very worried it wasn't gonna
work out because when we went on the air on
Sunday night in the Monday, we only had two acts.
That's not enough acts. You need more than to act.
(03:33):
So there was a bit of panic at the Audio
dojo as we were we were trying to figure out, like,
are we gonna get enough people to do this? Has
this kind of played out? You know, you're always worried
about that because we only do it once a year.
And the greatest one of these things we ever did was,
and I can be effusive in my praise because it
(03:53):
was amazing, was during COVID because nobody had anything to do,
and nobody had and if you have jobs, nobody was working.
People were just sitting around and board out of their mind,
pulling their hair out.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
The vaccine gave people superpowers.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yes, yes, clearly outstanding abilities, uh to do all kinds
of things. And so that was a very impressive, very
impressive Malard Palooza. And we've done it every year since.
We take one night usually around the All Star week
in baseball, because that is the primo spot on the
calendar to do something like this, and we let it,
(04:36):
let it flow, and it was it was great. We
ended up having a ton of acts. In fact, we
actually didn't even have time, as it turned out, for
everyone that wanted to be part of it. We ran
out of slots. And here's how it went. On the acts.
We started with Matt, who began the festivities from from Nashville. Now,
(04:59):
Matt had a very very unique act on the show,
and it was controversial because Eddie did not appreciate the
gift that this man had and Cooper Loop and the
you know, Chris was in that night running the board.
And these guys did not quite grasp the magic that
we were listening to now was not a perfect performance.
(05:23):
But this cat Matt who ended up in the top four,
he did the nose trumpet. He sounded like he was
playing the trumpet with his nose. What an amazing gift,
What a gift. And we were lucky to hear that.
We had Mitchell called in. We had a couple guys
(05:43):
named Mitchell. Mitchell at Ohio. We had Pam. Now this
is an interesting story, Danny. So Pam called us up
from Seattle. She's never called the show before. And she
played the viola, not the violin, No no, no old,
and she let me tell you something. All right, I'm
(06:03):
gonna go Mary Poppins. I'm gonna go Mary pop ups
on hers. She was super califragilistic, xbiali dosies. She was amazing.
It was superb and we were like show. She played
the baseball like kind of sound you'd hear at the
the organ the baseball game. Obviously it was not an organ,
but that song you hear at baseball games to fire
(06:23):
up the crowd.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Yeah, it was cool.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
We had Chris Do I think, oh Chris, Oh Mitchell,
I think I go out to the original Mitchell was
I think the guitar guy. And then Chris and some
of the guys were offended because he played the guitar
and he just did it on his phone. We had
a guy named Chris who did comedy, no key card guy.
We had the Boston Burper. That's a big time act,
(06:47):
the Boston Burper. This guy burped the entire mallord oath. Yeah,
and and people said, I got some criticism, Danny because
people said I overrated. I built up this guy two
months and I think I undervalued the Boston Burper. That
is a superpower. That is more of a superpower than
(07:07):
iron Man has. Iron Man just wears a suit. This
guy has the god given ability to burp on command.
And that was superior. It was just awesome. So Boston Burper.
We had Kathy and Madison. She submitted an act. We
love Kathy. Michael was in this Dick and Dayton without
(07:31):
any musical instrument. The Dixter got up there and did
his thing. Part of the Mallard Paloosa.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Did he go acapella?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
You know the thing that Dick does, and he's got
this technique despite the fact that he's in multiple bands.
It's fascinating because he will start out singing the song
perfectly and then at some point, and we're not sure why,
he just starts mumbling. He mumbles some of the lyrics
(08:03):
and it's fascinating. And I'm pretty confident Danny that Dick
and Dayton has not heard any of the podcasts that
we do. Dick is old school. He is terrestrial radio.
I imagine he has like a one that takes like
three double A batteries. He's such an anomaly, like he's
(08:23):
stuck back in time and I love him, but I'm
almost positive he's never heard the podcast because that would
be a departure from what he knows, right, and he's
nobody wants to leave their comfort zone and all that,
so he pretty much bear hugs.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
The radio. Oh, he's definitely a transistor radio boy.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah. Yeah, and AM radio, not FM radio. Am radio
because that's what was the first radio, is am radio,
and then the FM came and now it's all streaming
and digital and all that. But I'm guessing the dixter
bumps heads with the FM dial because there's a lot
of musical He's a sports guy. Although many sports stations
(09:05):
around the country, not in LA, but many sports stations
are now on FM and all on the stream and
and all that. So we had Dick and Dayton. Who
else did we have? We had Ohio Al, the man
from this podcast who's done so so many wonderful things
for this podcast, and he really packed a wallap ohio
(09:26):
Al a wonderful tune about the show. He made references
to so many great callers on the show. That was
a lot of fun. We had Mitchell in Ohio who
tried stand up comedy.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
I'm sure that went well.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yeah, I did not go well. Michael also, I believe
did stand up come He was I think Pennsylvania want
to say, I'm trying to remember at the time I had,
but he was. He was pretty good. It's very difficult
to do stand up comedy. It's very hard because you
have no we don't react, and you have nobody, you know,
(10:00):
nobody that's really playing along with you. We ow no
key card guy. I think he did the malor battle
cry like a like a boot camp you know in
boot camp when you're marching, you know those military movies
where you yeah, you have to chant. He did that.
That was good. Mitchell and Ohios he said he did comedy.
That was a disaster. Marcel and Brooklyn closed it out
(10:22):
the Mallard Palooza and Marcel really nailed it. He absolutely
nailed it there. Marcell was awesome. What yeah, Marcell was great.
I don't know, he just started singing. You know, he's
doing his thing.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
This isn't that the number one station anymore?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Is It's?
Speaker 5 (10:40):
It was good. I thought that was good.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
So the winner of the vote, the studio vote, those
of us that were judges, we had Jay Scoop and
more on that in a minute. The studio vote, the
top three on the studio vote we had Ohio. Al
came in in third place, so he got the bronze medal.
The silver medal went to Pam from Seattle to Viola,
(11:06):
And the winner of the studio vote was the Boston Burper.
He did not get a perfect score. Did not get
a perfect score, but the Boston Burper got a forty
seven and a half out of a possible fifty. That's
pretty damn good.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
This sounds like the scoring of the Slam dunk competition.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah no, no, no, no, no, this was this one
not now. There were some shenanigans with Chris totally screwed
over Marcel because Marcell doesn't know who Chris is, and
so Chris was offended by that and docked him, gave him,
I believe a zero on that. So that was that
(11:50):
was ourwas so and we had the vote of the public.
You know what, who won that based on the Twitter
And we had the top four up there, and Marcel
would have been in the top four if he had
not gotten is there He needed a two. If he'd
gotten a two from Chris, he would have been there.
And then as a surprise, Danny, the day after the
(12:10):
mal Or palooza, Blair in Maine called up and he
was all upset, right, he was. He was a glass
house of emotion. He was bouncing around. And there was
a bit of controversy in the show, a little bit
of a hullabaloo because Blair said I'm not I'm not
(12:30):
worried about Marcel while going on a rant making a
commotion about Marcel. So they continue their great rivalry as
that goes on. Those two guys, Boy, what a kerfluffle
they have had a side by side on this, so
that was that was interesting. We had random We had
(12:51):
some people who stand up. Tony from the Bay Area
just did stand up. These are not professionalis and inca terror.
I love n because he was not the judge this year.
Jay Scoop was, but Inka Tereara's like, it's a lot
easier to do the talent show when you're not actually
being judged, which is a fair point. These guys just
(13:11):
called up. They kept doing acts. We had some scratch
off sing a little bit. It was interesting. It was
like a trying to grab power, trying to take over
the airwaves the day after.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
So definitely have the most talented listeners in all of radio.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Well you can't compete with a burper, a nose trumpet.
I mean, we had legitimate music from Pam and Seattle.
So it was a magical night all the way around
and thanks to everyone that participated. We'll do it again
next year, same time, same batstation. Hopefully if you missed
out this year, you can do something next year. But
(13:50):
I've learned over the years most people do not plan
for months for this. Some people do, but most people
just if they happen to be listening and they have something,
they'll just go for it. We had multiple big names
in studio this week, Danny, we had listeners. Now that
COVID's long gone, we're able to have people back in
the audio dojo. And it started out with Rod, the
(14:14):
ambassador of Bakersfield, who you've met. Yeah, Rod's good people.
He blessed us with an appearance. He and his lovely
wife drove down from Baker's Field, which is about one
hundred miles as the crow flies from.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
His drunk friend wasn't with him this time.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
No, no, I did bust his chops about that. Yeah, Yeah,
he did bust his chops about that. Yeah. He famously
drove down with this drunk dude and we had We
had to get Rod to the lead because we were
worried the guy was going to break stuff.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Not good.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
So I caught up with Rob. We had outseeen Rod.
Rod had some little medical maladies, not little, they were
kind of big, and he explained everything. But he's back,
he's working, he's doing his thing. Life's back to normal,
which is wild considering how sick Rod was. And then
later in the week had jayscoop on the malor palooza. I,
as we mentioned, we changed it up. Inca Terror has
(15:06):
been the judge for years from New York, the classically
trained pianist from New York, well not originally from New York,
but living there in upstate New York, and he's been
part of the pianist Well, well, you know whatever, I
don't I don't tell you call it. Is that what
you call it? What you call it? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Thing? Yeah, he said, pianist, I said, pianist.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah. Well, you know you're FCC.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
Is going to shut us down either way.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I don't have to worry about that. I think we're good. Yeah,
So Jay Scoop filled in stepped in this year. Jayscoop
gave me the gift of Ukrainian money. I have never
touched Ukrainian money. I now own two hundred dollars or
whatever they call their money there in Ukraine, a gift
of Jay Scoop. We figured out that two hundred dollars
(15:57):
in Ukrainian money is worth five dollars in US money.
So you'll be a baller if you go to the Ukraine.
Of course, you'll also have to deal with missiles coming
over your head and landing on you. Speaking of that,
Jayscoop is going back to the Ukraine on the day
(16:18):
of the MLB trade deadline August. First. He's gonna do planes, trains,
and automobiles. There are no direct flights to Ukraine because
there's a war going on, so the airlines don't want
to fly into a war zone, and so Jayscoop's got
to go into that demilitarized zone. And he explained kind
of how he gets there, Danny, but he'll he'll fly
(16:41):
to a country near the Ukraine. He'll then take a
train and then finally I think he will take a
car to cross over into that country. And he said
that most of the time he's planning on being in Kiev,
which is the big city there, or Kiev, I guess
they call it now now. But he would not go
(17:02):
into a lot of details. He's not fighting for Ukraine,
but he is running missions, you know, bringing supplies out
to the to the military people that are fighting the Russians.
So we wish Jay Scoop a lot of fun. It
was great to meet him in Big Lou or not Meat,
I already met him, but Big Lou from the LBC.
What can Lou do for you? Big Lou stop by.
(17:26):
That was pretty cool to catch up with Big Lou.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Well did he bring fat cells?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, but I'm upset with Cooper Loop. Let me tell
you something. Okay, So, as you know, I'm doing this
intermittent fasting, so I don't eat. I eat once a day.
I try not to eat at night, you know whatever.
So listeners come by, and there's been a tradition with
the people that show up that if you come by,
you got to bring bring some right, usually food, pretty easy,
(17:54):
that's the price to get in if you want to
see the radio station and on it. So Rod brought
fat cells and Coop asked if I wanted fat seals,
and I said no, that's very very nice of Rod,
the Ambassador Vegas Field. But I'm doing my diet. I'm okay.
So then Big Lou came in like a couple nights later.
I was like, hey, Big Louz, I got food and
(18:16):
all that. I got some food. Coop didn't even ask,
he just assumed that I did not want fat cells. Hey,
it's not right. That's that is a faux pas by
the Kooper Loop. So you know, I tried to use
some diplomacy and all that I tried to be polite
and I was like, you know, listen, here's you know,
(18:38):
here's the deal. But even though I'm doing this ridiculous,
fugazy diet, I want Coop to be a mensch, and
a mensch was like, hey, do you want a sandwich?
Because maybe I would fall off the wagon. Maybe I
would say, Okay, I'll take that sandwich because I love
the fat cell sandwich. I'll eat the sandwich. I'll be
happy with the sandwich, and then i'll fast after the sandwich.
(19:00):
But I was not given that opportunity, so that that
rubbed me the wrong way. The phrase of the week
the phrase, oh wait, this is an actual phrase. We
tell you about the origin of the phrase that is
in the lexicon. And the phrase of the week this
week is butter him up. You ever talk a version
(19:20):
of that, I'm gonna butter that person up.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
You know, like you go into it, You're gonna the wheel.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Exactly, You're go into it. You're trying to flatter someone, right,
That's how you'd say, you butter them up. You're gonna
butter their popcorn.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
So I use this from time to time. I think
most people do. They're trying to get a job, you're
trying to win a you know, date and all that.
You know, you know, try to butter the other person up.
And so this actually goes back this fascinating the term
butter him up or butter her up goes back to
ancient India. Who knew, as Vic the Brick would say,
(19:55):
So it goes back to ancient India. There's a a
customary re religious act in ancient India, and here's what
it involves. So devotees would try to I was the
way I'm sure they would ask for forgiveness or ask
for a favor from their gods. The gods were statues.
(20:17):
They had statues the gods. The gods aren't actually there
because they just had the statue. So they would throw
balls of butter at the statues of their gods in
ancient India. And that was meant as a way to
ask the gods for forgiveness if they fucked up excuse
my language, excuse my French, or asked for a favor
(20:39):
if they needed something. So it's throwing actual butter at
statues of ancient gods. You think they still do that
in India.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
I don't know. But butter makes everything better.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
When in doubt, throw butter out.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
That's the one. I mean.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
You think about the best restaurants we like, and it's
because they butter everything up.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yeah, Butter's wonderful. You can butter your biscuits, you can
butter your you know anything.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I make pizza, garlic twists. You can put little butter
on that. It just the flavor. I'm baking cookies all
the time. Obviously butter a big part of that. But
you can't go wrong with the butter. You cannot go
wrong with butter. Time Now for a brief, brief trip
into the scientifical world, and that means our guy Ohio
(21:37):
au silence. So these are some science stories that we've
(21:57):
uncovered from the week, and we determined in honor of
that old show I used to love it, Penn and Teller,
these old comedians did a TV show and it was
bullshit was the name of the show. You had to
figure out what is real and what is you know
bs and here we go. So can you hear it?
Scientists have proven that people can hear silence for the
(22:23):
first time, you have a sound of silence and all that. Yeah,
a new study found that our brains actively process silence itself,
and people also thought one continuous silence was longer than
two separate ones. So somewhere that old Simon and Garfuckle
(22:49):
tune right, that's back back in the front burner now.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
So I have a pair of wireless that have noise canceling,
and when I turn that sucker up to ten, it's
a beautiful sound of nothing.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, I do like going in. One thing I like
about going into the radio station is not the long drive,
not the burning of gas, none of that. Not the
vagrants that I have to walk past to get to
the building in La none of that. But when I
come in there, I usually get there about an hour
(23:27):
before the show, so I can kind of do some
last minute things because there's games going on. And I'll
go into the old studio and it is so quiet
in there. There's no noise, and I love it. I
absolutely love it. It's so good. I can just sit
in there and I can concentrate. There's nothing messing with
me at all, no sounds, nothing.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
The only thing you can hear in there is cockroaches
rubbing their legs together.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Well, yeah, and if a skunk ever gets in the air, conditioning.
The air conditioning vents are right above that room, and
so that means we would just be completely carpetbaged who
ever is in there with that. But scienceists have proven
you can't hear the sound of science. This one seems
kind of obvious from the science world, but it says that,
and this is important for you, Danny. You got a
(24:16):
little fella pop it out here in a few minutes
a few days. And they say that playing board games
can make your child perform better in school. So buy
a bunch of old school board games and when your
kid's old enough, there and they say games based on
numbers like Monopoly and things like that can actually it's
(24:38):
been proven that they help math. Isn't this kind of
obvious though? Do you really need to study? Do you
need a bunch of scientists to get together and make
a big deal. But I don't know.
Speaker 5 (24:47):
I played at all.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
It was one of the reasons my mom would throw
all the board games down in front of us and say,
get off your stupid Nintendo and play a board game.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Yeah. I played a bunch of board games, but that's
because that you know, we're around the same age, Danny.
We didn't really have and once the Nintendo things started,
and then you got that one, the duck Hunt game
with the oh yeah, wow, that's my duck. That was
that was great.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
That was good.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
But we played Monopoly, Shoots and Ladders, we played Clue,
we play house Trap, but I played that Hungry Hungry Hippo.
That was kind of cool. Operation all the big ones,
all the big games back in the day, and spoiler alert,
I sucked at math, but I played those games. I
(25:37):
use a version of math, I call it malord math,
which which I like. Well, here's a fun story from
the science world and the environmental wackos. As the late
Rush Limbaugh would say, it would have a He would
have a field day with this if he was still around.
So there is new research out there says having a
fish tank is as bad for the environment as wait
(25:59):
for it, driving what. Yeah. Yeah, they're claiming that having
you know, a couple of goldfish and all that. They
say that that is the problem. Keeping a tank of fish,
you know, tropical fish or whatever, contributes as much greenhouse
(26:21):
gas as driving thousands of miles in a car on
a motorbike a car or motorbike. According to a study
this was done by some fed up university named Cardiff
University Water Research Institute in the UK, and they claim
that they're in the In the United Kingdom, there's four
(26:43):
million households that own a pet fish, and it's estimated
seventy percent of those that keep fish have a tropical
freshwater aquarium, which of course is killing the world. Oh
my god, everything we do, Dan, he's killing the world.
Have you noticed that? Have you noticed the trend? There?
A shortness to.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Breadth and pain in my left arm and my left shoulder.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
And I'll say, hell, I say, Coop, make sure this
guy gets some some medical attention.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Coop.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yeah, So they say, accorded to estimates depending on the
size and the running conditions, on average, a tropical aquarium
produces an estimated eighty five point three kg of CO
two per year. They say that if you do the
math on that, it's the same as traveling three thousand,
four hundred and eighty three miles on a motorcycle. Is
(27:40):
the is the claim. So there you go. I never
had a fish thing. I well, I'd not sure I
had a goldfish, but these coldfish lasted like a couple
of days and that was it. He had to flush them,
give them the burial at sea, and flush them out
down the toilet and all that.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
How does that work? Ben?
Speaker 4 (27:56):
If you were to take a motorcycle that many thousands
of mine files, you'd be taking your pollution on the
road literally. But if you have a stationary tank, is
that just polluting your little area.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
The reason this story doesn't make sense is because it's bullshit.
That's why it's bullshit. That's why the story doesn't make sense.
There's a bunch of space stories. I don't know how
many is we want to get into. But scientists claim
they've discovered a giant heat emitting radioactive object buried on
the Moon. You want to explain that one, Danny buried
(28:32):
on the Moon, Yes, buried on the Moon. They don't
believe it came from the US Space Mission. They didn't
bury any radioactive stuff on the Moon.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
This definitely came from a crew from Mars who we
have yet to meet.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
But hopefully they do not turn us into As a
congress person said this week, UFOs have the technology to
turn us into charcoal briquettes. Yeah, that's that's uplifting, thank you.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Yes, finally we met some other life form and they
take out flame throwers.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yes, and we're we're in a barbecue. On that train
of thought, a new discovery suggesting in the science world
that there could that's a weasel word, could be alien
life on Venus. Yeah. This is the coining of research
conducted by Royal Astronomical Society, and they revealed the presence
(29:34):
of FOSSi Fossiphena believe it is in the atmosphere and Venus. Anyway,
they put all this crap together and they a new
study here here this year claims that they believe there
could be goblins alien life on Venus. Wouldn't that be
(29:58):
something if all these creatures that supposedly are visiting the
planet are actually just from a few planets over, and
they're not from far far away out you know, deep
in deep space. They're just right next to us.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Yeah, we just did we We didn't lift the most
obvious rock right next to us.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Yeah. Yeah. What if you like the moon? You know that?
I mean I saw a twilight zone when I was
a kid. My dad just loved the toilets O Bay recipes.
But they had like the backside of the moone like
we've only visited one part of them. With the backside.
That's where all the action is, you know, that's where
all the the people live or whatever they're called.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Well, you know, we sanitize the spacecraft that we send
to Mars because forever we've known that that planet has
the best conditions for life to be on the planet.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
So it's interesting. I've not heard this about Venus before.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Yeah, it just came out this last week. We'll get
out on this. The latest creature from hell in Australia.
Did you guys talk about this on Cavino and Rich Danny.
There was a footage from Australia went viral on TikTok
eleven million views allegedly. I think most of those are bots,
but a lot of views supposedly. And this thing looks
(31:16):
like a hybrid between how would I describe it. It's
got like some qualities of a lobster mixed with a scorpion.
It's wild. I never seen any nobody had ever seen
anything like this before. And so this was in Western Australia.
(31:36):
So I want to know if our friend Ozzie was
had ever seen one of these things, if he knows
what we're talking about. So it's got like wings and
it looks like it's got a stinger. It's stabbed in
the video clip, it stabbed the air. It's got a
sharp tail, like I said, it's got like a hybrid
(31:59):
of a stick and a scorpion. And people are trying
to figure out what a was. So they finally found out.
According to an entomologist from Western Australia, they said, this
is a walking stick insect. And they said that it's
actually not venomous, even though it looks like the stuff
(32:22):
you had nightmares about when you were eight years old.
They say that it's not venomous and that the reason
no one's ever seen it before is because it's so
good at camouflaging. It's like a chameleon. It blends into
its environment so people don't see them. And they're out
in Western Australia where Ozzie Wahz and like five other
(32:42):
people live, and they say that despite all the video
clip and all the dancing and all that these things
ten inches long, they say that they they are not
venomous as I said, they're they're tremendous at camouflage and
that this is just a technique that they use, this
this dance routine. It's a defense mechanism to ward off
(33:05):
potential predators.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
So well, it's not venomous, what's the purpose of it?
Speaker 4 (33:13):
If I ever get to meet God, I'm going to
take out my old school Al Davis projector. Yeah, and
I'm going to go through certain species like this and
ask him what was the point of this one?
Speaker 5 (33:24):
How about that one? What's the point of this one
right here?
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Yeah? Well, why do alligators have such short little, you know, legs,
but they have the massive mouth and the teeth and
all that.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Yeah, you're just trying to give us a chance?
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Yeah, what's that about? Have you seen this thing? By
the way to anyhow? You want me to send you
the clip?
Speaker 5 (33:43):
All right?
Speaker 1 (33:43):
I mean, let me quick on this here s it's
on the Evil TikTok. Are you on? You're not a
TikTok we're too old? Yeah, no, no, we don't do
the TikTok. Oh, they deleted the page.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Actually, we appreciate you being a custom since twenty fifteen.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Yes, operators are standing by. We'll get to your call
as soon as possible. So I sent the link. It
should be delivered here and just scroll down and there's
a little video clip. It's not very long. It's been
viewed eleven point seven million times at this point. The
Creature from Hell, The Creature from Hell. See here you
(34:27):
got Oh, I found that. I actually found the direct link.
If you want, I can send it to this just
worked here. It's just oh and I'm looking at it
right now. Yeah. Yeah, doesn't that look like something out
of a like.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
A Yeah, but.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
They need to put a quarter or a penny next
to it so we have, you know, perspective.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
How big is that thing?
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Big enough? Yeah, it's hard. It is hard to tell
from that how big it is. But you can click on.
Oh wait, all, I think I cicked the wrong and
see that's the link of it. That's the sound of
it there. Yeah, anyway, we'll get out on that. It
is Friday, Dandy, a day of rest for me after
doing the overnight show. You have work to be done today,
(35:09):
do you not? You have things to do today?
Speaker 5 (35:12):
I am off because Covino and rich are off today.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Oh they are. Oh so when they're off, you're you
don't have to work? Huh?
Speaker 4 (35:20):
Well yeah, that's a pipe dream, because they're off next
Tuesday and Wednesday, and I'm working those days.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
So no Tuesday, Wednesday, you never supposed to take Tuesday
and Wednesday. You just take Monday and Friday. You don't
take Tuesday and Wednesday.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
Well they're off Monday too, but I'm taking that one off.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Oh you are taking Monday. Yeah, it's next week a holiday?
Is there some kind of a no?
Speaker 5 (35:43):
This is this is the weekday, the five days.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
They broke it up in between two weeks, but these
were their summer days off.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Ah, so they they missed the mark a little bit
because next week you have the franchise tag deadline day
to sign con on Monday, and then Tuesday NFL training camp.
How about that? NFL training camp begins for some teams
on Tuesday. I believe Tuesday. That's why they do the
franchise take deadline. But you know that's just guys getting
hurt at training camp. We'll get out, have a wonderful
(36:14):
day today. We got a full week in a podcast.
Wait to hear the story never before told story Life
of mallor life of Danny. I know, Danny, You've got
some great stories you're gonna tell from Vegas, right, Some
things that happened there last weekend.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
A bunch of hookers in cocaine.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Oh yeah, that and Jerry West I think I don't
know anyway, and Chuck the Condor have a wonderful rest
of your day. We'll talk to you next time.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
See you tomorrow later. Skater gotta murder, I gotta go.
