Speaker 1 (00:00):
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 cutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
In the air everywhere back at as we kick off
the weekend fun here on the Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
And Danny g Radio. It is a dog eat dog world,
but not on this podcast. No, they very mellow podcast.
Danny and people have been asking me about your your
son to be born to be named later and all that.
And as of the conversation we're having now, you do

(01:00):
have an update, but not a major update. Is that correct?
Would that be accurate, Danny, that there's an update but
not a major update.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Yeah, the baby is in position. I repeat, the baby
is in position, but he has not dropped yet.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
At any moment, you could run away from the podcast
microphones Danny and today, Yes, that it could happen.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
If you hear a lady screaming at the top of
her lungs behind me. Then you know that something's going on.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
All right, Well, that's exciting, And do you have it
all mapped out and everything that's going to happen. Once
that takes place, you get it all planned out, right,
nothing will go wrong, Everything will be great, it's all
lined up.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
Yes, last weekend we had a false alarm and I
was able to practice the route to the hospital or
route depending on where you're from.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Right, And.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
Let's just say that I made NASCAR record breaking time
to the Kaiser Permanente. You know, it was a little stressful,
but weaving in and out of traffic. If that didn't
make the baby pop out, I don't know what will.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
So how what's the timeline? I've never been in that sitution, Like,
what is the timeline from the time that the baby
decides that's going to pop out there to how fast
you've got to get to the to the hospital.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Well, it depends because from the time the water breaks
to the time he decides to slip and slide. You know,
every woman is different, and every every childbirth is different
based on the position of the kid, how many kids
the woman has had before and at variables.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
There's a lot of variables. Yeah, I gotcha. All right, Well,
you'll keep us posted. You'll have quite the story to tell.
On this Friday podcast. We've got Space Invaders, the Phrase
of the Week, and Animal Kingdom, but I wanted to
start with the Space Invaders day. I have not talked
about this story too much on the radio show because

(03:22):
it's a sports show, and we talk about sports, and
we talk about all these things too, But it really
hasn't come up that much on the show, not as
much as I was hoping for. And that's probably a
bad job by me. But I did have a boss
years ago in the radio business who said, you know,
you can talk about anything you want even though you're
doing a sports show. Just kind of bring it through

(03:45):
the sports window. So and we've done that from time
to time. But the story that's been going on this
week in Congress that the United States has been concealing
a program that they've had for allmost one hundred years
that retrieves and reverse engineers UFOs. We knew this was coming, Danny,

(04:11):
and it happened earlier this week has been going on.
I actually have some audio that I wanted to play
and this Air Force intelligence officer former, because if he
was still in the Air Force, he wouldn't be doing this.
But he's the guy that testified at the beginning of

(04:32):
this thing. His name is David Grosh. I believeounce his name.
He's a retired major from the Air Force. And this
is a guy I think he popped up on Joe
Rogan's show. I think if I remember, that's where he
popped up first. Possibly maybe not, maybe I'm wrong on that,
but anyway, the US House Oversight Committee, they got together

(04:55):
there and this guy testified in front of them and
talked about UFOs and alls. But there was one part
in particular. There's a lot of interesting things in this,
but there's one part. I want to play this and
then we'll react to it. But there is a member
of Congress, Anna Paulina Luna. I have no idea who

(05:17):
that is. Apparently she is from Florida, and she asked
what we say, Danny in the business. She asked the
question that led to the money quote right SoundBite, and
so I wanted to play that part of it. It's
a little clip. So this is the Honorable Anna Paulina
Luna who asked David Grush why he uses the term

(05:43):
non human intelligence. That was part of this. And then
they go into some other stuff. But let's let's go
to the audio tape here. Hopefully this will work. Embrace
presents the ballgame test. That's not it. Braces are striking
out with the Yeah, all right, here we go.

Speaker 5 (06:04):
If you believe we have crashed craft stated earlier, do
we have the bodies of the pilots who piloted this craft?
As I've stated publicly already in my News Nation interview,
biologics came with some of these recoveries.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
Yeah, were they I guess human or non human?

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Biologics non human?

Speaker 5 (06:24):
And that was the assessment of people wh's recknowledge on
the program I talk to that are currently still on
the program.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
And Boom goes to Dynamite. That is the money SoundBite there.
As they went back and forth and Little Green Man,
there's a lot that is not known because even though
this guy, David Grush, was allowed to speak, he was
not allowed to say everything. So it's it's an evolving

(06:51):
story here, this mysterious what is these mysterious aircraft and
objects and what is going on here? But this was
a by part in situation where Democrats and Republicans and
it's a national security matter and all that, But the
gist of it is it's an open secret in the military.

(07:13):
And they had a couple of pilots at one in particular,
I saw that this guy, as a whistleblower, said that
they see the pilots in the Air Force in the
on the aircraft, they see unidentified objects all the time.
They have near mis account and mis encounters with they call.
One of the guys called it a dark, dark gray

(07:34):
cube inside of a clear spear. They called it. So
it's just well to me, the most amazing part of
this is that most people don't seem to care. It's
I was wondering when I was a kid, you know,
playing video games. My dad was really into space. He
would have loved this stuff if he was still around,

(07:56):
Like what goes on? And as I always like, what
would happen if they actually said, hey, we got some
and this is close. They're not saying, hey, we definitely
have it. This is just a guy who's very well respected,
by the way, this former Air Force intelligence officer who testified,
who's very well respected. But what is next day? That's
what I want to like what happens next year, what

(08:17):
goes on next in this space invader's story. And you
know if they did say, Okay, we're gonna come clean here,
what would that do to the to the world right now? Nothing,
but what would that do to like so many factions,
so many parts of life. It's it's an inches. It's

(08:38):
fascinating to me, this story fascinating.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
And can I point out the power of podcasting? You're right,
this all started on the Joe Rogan experience. So this
groosey guy from podcast to Congress.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, yeah, And now the Pentagon denied this guy's claim
of a cover up, of course they did. And what
if that movie Men in Black was real? Danny? What
if that was actually like, like.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
We've actually said on this podcast before that we think
Men in Black is the way it really is.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, what the heck? Why not? But
there was a spokesperson for the Pentagon, the Department Defense Department,
that said that investigators have not discovered any verifiable information
to substantiate claims that any program regarding the possession of
reverse engineering of extra traverstitual materials have existed in the

(09:39):
past or exist currently. Said the State isn't that the
first rule of fight club though, the first rule of
fight clubs, you're not allowed to talk about what's going on.
Isn't that how that works? I think exactly. Yeah, well,
it's a fascinating story and I'm not sure what happens next.
I guess there's more posturing, and you also have to

(10:03):
keep an eye on it. If it completely goes away,
like if it just completely vanishes, then does that mean
somebody said, hey, you can't do this because you know X,
Y and Z is going to happen. We're not allowed
to release this and.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
I'll tell you what happens next. iPhone fifteen.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, well, that's been my hypothesis for years that the
iPhone is alien technology, and so so much of the
stuff we use, like all of the advanced technology. You
look at the advancements that have been made in the
last hundred years compared to one hundred years before that,
it's insane to the membrane. It is absolute insane to

(10:44):
the memory. Time.

Speaker 6 (10:46):
Now for the phrase of the week, the phrase of
the week, the phrase of the week, Yes, and the
phrase this week is crossing the rubicon.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
This was by request, Danny. We had a request for
the crossing the rubicon phrase. This comes from our friend
Pierre who wrote in and Pierre, you said, why not
with a little question mark there. So I use this
phrase cube right. Oh, no, no, I use this a lot.
The word rubicon is a fun word to say. That's

(11:17):
the main reason I use it a lot. It's a
fun word to say, the rubicon, crossing the rubicon, so
it it means a synonym for passing the rubicon or
crossing the rubicon is passing a point of no return, right,
And this actually goes back to forty nine BC, and

(11:39):
it involves Caesar's palace as in Joyous Caesar, legendary figure.
So the meaning comes from the history of Joyous Caesar
crossing the river Rubicon. And you know, it sounds intimidating
the rubicon from what I've read from some of the

(12:02):
history stuff that I read about this, because I'm a
bit of a loser. So I read a little bit.
And it's not really much of a river. It's more
of a stream, but it's called the river Rubicon. So
this goes back to January. So the weather's not great
January of forty nine BC, and according to the law
of the Roman Republic, the Roman Empire. Any provincial governor

(12:27):
leading their troops across that border, which was the Rubicon
River or the River Rubicon, back into Italy would be
declared a public enemy. So Julius Caesar, by crossing the Rubicon,
it was an act of war and there was no
going back. And so that is why that phrase, when

(12:50):
I say crossing the Rubicon, there's no returning. You've crossed over,
and that's it. It's funny. One of the the streets
I go down occasionally, not far away from where I
live here in the North Woods, there is a street
named Rubicon, and every time I go down that street, Danny,

(13:10):
I have the same joke. I tell my wife I
were crossing the Rubicon. We are now crossing right there,
because it's right above, right near the light there. And
that is how that is how we operate. But that
is the phrase of the week, crossing the Rubicon. And
now let's get in to a spicy hot edition of

(13:33):
The Animal Kingdom, which is nothing like nothing like the
Animal Thunderdome, nothing like that at all.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
You've never received a cease and assist letter from one
Clay Travis.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
No, No, that would never happen. But let's get to it.
That means, ohioa, it's time for Ben Mallards. It's a
fire Kingdom with Danny g Radio. All right, how's that going?
By the way, Danny, have we gotten the lawyers involved

(14:05):
with you and iHeart and the show, the podcast? And
is that anything happened?

Speaker 4 (14:11):
In a prediction here?

Speaker 1 (14:13):
All right?

Speaker 4 (14:14):
The baby will arrive before the Animal Thunderdome podcast begins.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Oh, that is a bold statement. Will the kid be
the kid to be named later be driving before the
said podcast begins? That is to be determined. Okay, to
be determined. These are some of the animal stories that
we have, you know, avdo yes, some of the animal

(14:43):
stars we've dug up. So this pops up every year
or two. What is the deadliest animal in the world?
The deadliest animal in the world, but yet very few
people are actually afraid of this animal. Do you know
what the deadliest animal in the world is in the world?

Speaker 4 (15:04):
Maybe some sort of basic snake.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Well, according to our World in data dot Org, they
claim that of all the different creatures and critters on
the planet, the alligator, the hippo, the python, all of
the different animals that roam planet Earth, that we know of, right,
we know of. There's likely some things we don't know

(15:29):
too much about. In fact, we'll talk about that more
coming up here in a couple of minutes. But they
estimate that there are over two million animal species non human.
But there are an estimated five to ten million species
including those that have been undiscovered, So this is as

(15:51):
many as ten million different species. But there's about two
million animal species. But according to a study from Utah
State Universe the Department of Wildlife Resources, they say that
over forty seven thousand people annually in the United States
needed medical attention after being attacked or bitten by wildlife.

(16:13):
But the most dangerous animal in the world, the deadliest
of them all, killing an estimated seven hundred and fifty
thousand to one million humans every single year, The greatest
killing machine among any of these critters and creatures on
the planet.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
It's got to be something small, right, yeah, the mosquitito.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah. They estimate there are up to
up tows weasel terminology. They say one hundred and ten
trillion mosquitos on the planet, and they often carry lethal
diseases like malaria, the West Nile virus, the Zeka virus,
there are sixteen thousand mosquitos on the planet for every

(16:58):
one person. Yeah, but they like certain types of blood
type like I am very popular. Mosquitoes think I'm hot,
I think I'm sexy, and they love my blood. They
love my blood. According to the Center for Disease Control
and Prevention, four hundred and thirty five thousand people died

(17:19):
from malaria in twenty seventeen h and the disease threatens
almost half the world's population. There you go.

Speaker 4 (17:29):
So remember when we were kids, we were kind of
scared because there was no answer about whether or not
a mosquito could carry HIV. Yes, kids would always ask
that question.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah, well that and the whole tick thing because you
can get lime lime disease.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
One of my cousins she got lime disease.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
That famous Bay Area DJ JV was suffering from lime
disease and unfortunately took his own life because he could
didn't deal with the symptoms of it.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yeah, it sucks, it's it's terrible. But and it's named
after a place in Connecticut, if I remember correctly, I
read this a couple of years ago, that lime disease
is not it's named because of the place I want
to say. I think it wasn't Connecticut, somewhere in the northeast.
Might have been in New York where they kind of

(18:22):
first found it, if I remember, correctly discovered what it was,
what was doing it, and so that's why it's called
what it is. Safari. Can we go to La Joya,
beautiful La Joya my old stomping rounds in San Diego.
It has happened again, Danny, for the second time in
a couple of years, video of sea lions charging. Its

(18:46):
just a bunch of dudes and chicks on the beach
there and that, yeah, that cove and La Joya. Man,
they were like, you are in our territory, U assholes,
get out of here. Yep. And it was great. Happened
last weekend. And yeah, if you're around a sea lion,
you don't want to be too close, right, I mean

(19:08):
it was funny. The lifeguard. I loved the lifeguards, like
you you please give the large male sea lion plenty
of room.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
There's a Duke's restaurant right near that cove. Oh you're
familiar with Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, I've been. I've been to that duke Yeah, yeah, yes, so.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
My girl she loves I mean pre pregnancy, to bring
the kiddos there, have a lunch at Dukes and then
walk down and watch the sea lions. But yeah, you
always see some idiots getting way too close to them.
And this video was great because they meant business man,
they were going to smack some people around.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Now, in fairness, that's that's a lot of clout, Danny,
when you take a photo with a sea lion on
on social media, like, they really loved you on there, right,
they can't get enough of you. If you take a
photo with a sea lion behind you, it's the way
to go. Yeah, it's just hilarious. And this, you know,
this happens everyone so often. The great thing now is

(20:07):
everything's recorded.

Speaker 4 (20:08):
So would you be cooler on social media if you
had a picture with a tiger or a sea lion?

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Oh tiger, yeah, because even though they're called sea lions.

Speaker 4 (20:20):
But the tiger pictures are mostly fake. They say like
they tranquilize the big cats and then the girl poses
next to it.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Oh yeah, that's cheating.

Speaker 4 (20:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
How about with an alligator? Nice big gator. Remember there's
a was it in the Philippines or somewhere was it?
They would have alligators as pets tried domesticate the alligator.
I forget. I read this online and they were like
photos of these There was their pet alligator like sleep

(20:53):
next to the alligator, Like what kind of nonsense is that?
I mean, man, well, this is kind of the Safari
Kingdom type story here. It involves the sound that killer
whales make and the study that this is great. This

(21:14):
is how to get attention for a study. It comes
out of Denmark and they say killer whales and dolphins
use a vocal technique that may have you think of
other celebrities. According to researchers in Denmark, the marine animals
produce low sounds by elongating syllables. The phenomena is known

(21:39):
as vocal fraud, and it says This study says that
while the mammals use these tones to hunt, they're also
common in American English and are often associated with celebrities
like Kim Kardashian and Katie Perry. So researchers from the
University of Southern Denmark identified the the vocal technique in

(22:02):
orcas and dolphins, and they demonstrated that they utilize a
nasal source to produce different levels of sound, just like
human beings. Just like human beings. And they compared them
to Kim Kardashian and Katie Perry. And that is how
you get your study if you are the University of

(22:23):
Southern Denmark to be read on a random American podcast.
That is the technique you need to use, Danny right there,
That is it.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
Both singers are famous for their blowholes.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Hello, hello here until Thursday. Kim Kardashian, let me tell
you that's how she she became famous. So a bugs life,
A bugs life for me in Japan the comeback of
certain foods that involved things like silkworm, shashimi, cricket curry, yeah,

(23:00):
and a bunch of other bugs. So there are read
stories about this that there's some people that think that
the oligarchy of the world, the New World Order, wants
us all to eat bugs. I would like us to
eat bugs. And I'm looking at the photo here and
I think I would rather drown than eat the food. Here.

(23:28):
I'll send you a photo of said said food. But yeah,
these are these climate change people that are like, well,
you can't eat the cows, you gotta eat the bugs.
You gotta go with the bugs. Even though the Western
culture does not encourage the eating of the bugs, although
we do eat bugs anyway. As we talked about in

(23:49):
a previous episode of the podcast Danny Wright, the food
people allow a certain percentage of bugs to be in
our food.

Speaker 4 (23:56):
Yeah, but those are ground up.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Yeah, this is yeah, right? You known to eat some grasshoppers,
some wasps? No, yeah, that's nasty. Yeah. The story says, grasshoppers, silkworms,
and wasp are traditionally eaten in landlocked regions where meat
and fish are scarce, but the practice picked up because

(24:23):
of food shortages during way back after World War two
in Japan. And so there you go, get some nice
crickets on top of your Is that corn looks like
corn with? Oh boy, I don't even know that.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
I was all excited to get a cinnamon roll later
today too, isn't it. You're coming on fast today after
seeing this?

Speaker 1 (24:48):
That is not good? Well, here we go. Dog owners
very exciting here. Now I have a dog. One in
four dog owners do not always clean up their dog poop.
I think it's higher than that. On Safari King, I
think it's higher than that, Danny.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
The people around me seem to all carry the little
bags because we have one of those where you can
grab a free bag.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
I guess it depends on the neighborhood, would be the
way you do it. When I was in New York
visiting my brother, I saw a lot of dog dog
poo around here. Where I live now, there's not too much,
and there's a lot of people with dogs. There's a
lot of people that love wandering around the neighborhoods with
their dogs. But they said that twenty eight percent who

(25:41):
commit the dog walking sin of not cleaning up, one
in three confess to doing it frequently. They say, so, yeah,
that's at least it's dog poo and not like San
Francisco with human pooh, or La for that matter, certain
parts of downtown Los Angeles with that nonsense. So that's

(26:08):
the good news on that. Anyway. I think we'll get
out on that to anything else you want to promote
here on this Friday as we head into the weekend.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
I am going to be in having Fun with Covino
and Rich for the Friday afternoon show two to four
pm on the West Side. That's five to seven pm
in New York City as the Guys broadcast from Vegas
without me. Oh, I'm on baby Watch, which means I
am not allowed to go near casinos right now.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Well, they're like regulars in Vegas, man, They're there all
the time. Man, look at they like these They talk
a lot of fighting on the air.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
Coveno is a huge fight fan, boxing and MMA and
all that is a big deal with them on the show.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
What fight is? I don't even know what fight I
usually it has to be a pretty big fight to
get my atten.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
It's two youngsters. But what they're saying is these two
guys are like the next Tagler and hearns who aerospence.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Okay, she supposed to.

Speaker 4 (27:12):
Be a really good fight.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
All right, Well, very good. I hope they enjoyed it,
and you probably like, get this kid out so I
can get back to Vegas and and all that.

Speaker 4 (27:21):
Right, exactly bad. I'm like, I want to see Spencer Crawford,
come on, get your ass out of the womb.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Exactly all right. Well we'll be hot. I am. I
got nothing going on today. I got nothing. I'm gonna
save my voice. I will not talk. That will be that.
But we will have another podcast tomorrow. So that is
what I have. Have a wonderful rest of your day
to day. Thank you for listening. Subscribing and all that,
and we will catch you next time.

Speaker 4 (27:51):
Austa pasta got a murder. I gotta go.
