Speaker 1

Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere and another pipe and a hot edition of the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny G Radio back in the podcast

dojo for round number two. Danny G of the weekend Extravaganza every single day, every single day, I follow the coat of the West. You must take pride in your work in all's finish what you start, among other things. And so we're doing that right now, even though some of us might be bumbling and stumbling and all that stuff. But no, no, we're good to go today. Yes, yeah, let's go. We're like Ox. We're carrying a heavy load. Ben. My lower back has been barking at me the past

couple of days. Yeah, we're doing the dirty work, is what we're doing. We're doing the donkey work. I want a camel. Just a couple of donkeys. That's it. Just a couple of donkeys, all right. So on this edition the fifth Hour, please continue to give us five stars. We will check in later with the backscratcher segment. We've got Goofy, the Future Leaders, malfeasance, and if we have time, we'll have some scientifical nonsense as well. But we begin with this. It's been a rather hectic week in these

parts The Life of Mallard and Danny g Podcast. That's how We roll here. We mentioned this last week on the podcast, The Mallard Mansion invasion underway. Cousins visiting from near and far. And these are people that I grew up with, and then they moved away. I wasn't that old they had moved away, but I was a little kid.

I hung out with him like all the time. I used to live right down the street from the the house that I grew up in, and and we were like little snot nose punk kids and stuff, and and so they're really more like brothers and sisters rather than than cousins. They astonded on California from New York, Denver, Phoenix. They've scattered all over the country, for like a quasi family reunion, which is mostly about them. It really wasn't about about me, and it was great to see everyone.

I should check that. It was great to see most of my my cousins. I had at a very awkward a story which I'm I'm debating whether or not to get into on the on the podcast. It's probably against my best judgment to do it, so I'll probably do it anything, but I'll get to that in a sect. So so anyway, all these cousins came in and I was very excited to everybody. And last Friday was the

first day everyone had assembled. So we went whale watching, which is a California thing that you can't go whale watching in Phoenix or in Colorado, so we, you know, went out when California do what California do. So we went will watching, which is actually false advertising. You rarely see whales, you always see dolphins, so why don't they just call it dolphin watching? Danny, I don't get it seriously. So we actually saw hundreds of dolphins off the Newport

code was beautiful. Not a single whale in that big blue ocean. I didn't see any whales, but that was like Friday afternoon. My cousins from Colorado there, my uh my one cousin, his wife, and then there air kids. They actually got stuck overseas during COVID. They were on vacation and the airport shut down and they were stuck. I think it was in Ireland for like six months. They were. They had they had an airbnb and they just had to stay there because they couldn't leave the country.

It was unlocked up. Yeah. But but anyway, so I saw him hung out with that was great lot of fun. And my sister in law was also long and she brought her kids, and so I got uncle Benny got suckered into. They had a gift shop on the boat, so I had to I had to buy like a three dollar plastic whale thing. That is the only whale we saw. So I feel like, as an uncle, you have to spoil the kids, Like that's the job of an uncle to spoil the kids with all kinds of

nonsense and all that. So we did that and then Friday night, As the Life of Mallard continues, Danny, we had a big welcome to, you know, back to California and a big kind of party. My wife had planned at the Mallard mansion and so it was great at a good turn out. Some of her family was there, My cousins were there, their kids. So it was a madhouse all right. The kids were running around and the house almost burned down. One of the kids, this three

year old kid, Hudson. This kid is the Tasmanian devil, this kid, and he went into the the kitchen. We were out in the back talking. All the adults were in the back and some of the kids. They had like a gang of kids that took over the house. And this little three year old kid, like I was turning on the stove and boom, goes to dynamite. Yeah, it's experimenting with with fire and uh and and we had to we had to tell him not to do that. That's probably not a good idea because uh, you know, burn,

baby burn and all that. So we got that under control and um now was when we stayed there pretty late. Had a little fire pit thing going on. So that was cool. And then on Saturday we decided we have a lot of time. They were they were Disneyland, and I considered going to Disneyland, Danny g and then I saw how much it costs to go to Disneyland, and I said, well, maybe I'll go another time. You didn't want to set money on fire, exactly exactly, and so I said, go on, I have a good time with

your kids. Kids will go wildy, they love Disney and all I said, well, well, we're gonna go to the beach, right, because what could go wrong going to the beach. You go to Disney and we'll go to beach. We'll meet you for dinner. So we went over to the beach and drove around for half an hour trying to find a parking place, and we just decided finally that that

we gave up. That was it, and we we never actually did go to the beach because it was so packed that there were more people trying to find parking then there were actually anywhere close to parking spaces. It was a complete nightmare. And well, I wish I could stop it, but I did stop. Actually I went back and I left so wrong, No, I did. I left and then I went back to the to that. So anyway, we met my cousins at Downtown Disney, but uh my, there was confusion with this yere so only my Colorado

cousins went to hang out with us. We went to Downtown Disney where it's right near Disneyland. There. You you've been to Downtown Disney right then you have a great place to hang out. Did you go to the Lego Store? I did. Yeah. You walk right past the Lego Star when you park, and you you walk around there and they've got these giant Lego things in. There's a bunch

of restaurants and whatnot. It's pretty cool. It's got the Disney vibe, but you don't have to spend any more than like ten bucks on parking in order to enjoy that, like the vibe of it and stuff like that. And you're so close, it's like being against the pearly gates, but you're not in heaven. And uh, because they they have that mono rail station. You take the mono rail to Disneyland and then you can keep walking and there's Disneyland in California in advention and all that. So we're

gonna meet them for dinner. The restaurant we wanted to eat that had a ninety minute wait, oh no, ninety minute wait to eat some pasta, and that seemed a little outrageous. So we went to another place that didn't have a long wait, and but again only my cousins from from Colorado, UH. The ones from Arizona and UH in New York did not did not make it, and UM, so then we hung out with them, had a good time whatever, it went back UH then the fast forward day.

So I'll tell the part of story I probably should not tell. But I don't think any of these people listen to podcast. So I'm gonna ask you a question. Did I make a mistake? Was the problem on me? Or is the problem on my my cousins? So my cousins from New York, I had not seen her in many years, and so a very busy schedule with the radio show. The only times I was available we're Friday, Saturday, and then on Thursday. So those three days were the

time I was available. So Friday she said they were too tired from from traveling to UH to make the the shin dig. Saturday, we were at Downtown disney Is supposed to meet them, and they said they could not be inconvenience to come out of the park and hang out with it because they were having too much of too much of a good time. And then on the Thursday, my cousin. She said that she would meet with us, but she wanted us to go to her hotel even

though she has a rental car. Who me, Yeah, So I I processed all this, and I said, you know, these people don't really want to hang out with us. So I said, we're good as I believe. I said, what are we trying to meet the pope here? Uh? Is what I said? And so am I the bad guy on that? Danny g Or? Are are they the bad people on that? Like? I mean, if people really want to hang out with you, family or not, then they make an effort to hang out with you. That's

what I'm saying. Okay, see, good you're because that's my point. Like I wasn't on vacation. This was their vacation. I get it. You're on vacation. You want to do your thing and all that stuff, and that's fine. Yeah, I know. But at the same time, I only have a couple of like a day and a half off from from this radio stuff where I'm not NonStop doing it, and so I made sure to make myself available on both

those days, and then I added a bonus day. So I'm like, okay, I'm like I feel like I'm doing everything I can to make this as convenient as possible. And I just got the vibe from my am. So I didn't even see them, you know, there, I here for a week from from New York, and they were so so uh selfish with you know, I don't know if that's the right word, but they were so one of their own thing. They didn't didn't make any time to to hang out, which is which is disappointing. So

they didn't even at your Mallard mansion. Now, no, no, they said they were so so tired. I guess they Yeah, that was the Friday thing. But downtown Disney, we were like right there. It takes like, you know, ten minutes to take the monorail to get out, eat some food, and go back. It was just a goofy set of set of events. But I never really experienced anything like this in my life where a relative had traveled to literally like right down the street. I met all the

other all the other cousins. In fact, some of them stayed. My cousins from Arizona stayed at the house, so I met everybody. It was great to see them, and there my my buddy and my cousin, Danny's kid was here and hanging out, little kid, and so it was. It was wonderful, but it was very odd. Yeah, what does this cousin have against you? I don't know what I did. I yeah, I mean I thought it was like very

common in We aviided into a party. We we went right to where they were and just apparently didn't want to see us. I guess I must have done something. I don't know. I'm not sure what I did. I it's uh, yeah, did you get a text on their way out of town saying okay, sorry we didn't get to meet up. No, No, that's the weird thing, Like there were no texts. They were like middle people communicating like other cousins were communicating between us, Like they never

reached out at at all. So you definitely offended somebody. Yeah, I don't really know what I did. I haven't seen them in years, so I'm I'm not sure. But so that was that was weird. That was the first time I can recall someone traveling thousands of miles being right down the street meeting with all of their brothers and sisters but not them. Ben. I have had family come down from northern California, go to Disneyland, and I find

out about it a couple of weeks later. Yeah, well, yeah, you're not the only one where people are kind of inconvenience because when they're paying for Disneyland, they're all in. They want Disneyland to get their money's worth. Yeah. No, it's an obscene amount of money to go to Disneyland. I don't know how the people that run disney sleep at night, but good for them. Knock yourself out and all that. You might want to lower the prices a bit here, uh, and take the advice of our former president.

Don't be rude. Just don't be rude. So moving on from that, it's all about the future. See we're old news mean you Danny g wor old news now, But it's all about the next generation. It's all about the future leaders, the people that will take over when we passed the baton, right, the ones that are right now little kids, but eventually they'll be angry, middle aged people and they'll be leaders of the world. Yeah, Ben, it's been a couple of weeks since I checked in from

Science Room three at Summer School. Lots of cool projects. The kids have been great. The adults, but uh yeah, the kids make it worth going in. And then at the same time, I've been picking up all these fill in shifts at the network, so running NonStop. A couple of days ago, I'm in the classroom and I have one teacher's aid in there who helps out with the kids, and she's great. She goes to San Diego State. She's been in there when the year olds are in the class.

I've had second through fifth most of the time. So they're like, yeah, we're gonna have the teens in your class for class three, and I'm like, all right, that's cool. So I had to make up some lesson plans that suited the older kids. Was going great. Making the kids laugh. They're getting more jokes than the little ones, because obviously second through fifth grade some of the jokes go right over their head. Teenagers are laughing, they're having fun in

the class. And then towards the end of class Ben, when we're cleaning up the science project, she takes over and she does trivia and she's like, all right, it's time for Cassie Trivia. And the kids are like, yeah, let's do trivia, and she asked the kids raise your hand, don't part out the answer. Her first trivia question, what was the first state in America? Oh? Okay, and did the kids get it right? Did they? And shoot up? First kid answers Detroit. Oh boy, oh boy, all right,

and so we're off to a good start. Then she asked which animal has the hardest skull? And this girl shoots her hand up and she answers, my brother. At least that one was a joke. Okay. Then she asked, and I made notes here afterwards because I was just sitting in the back at my desk laughing. She asked what causes most of the power outages each year? And a girl in the back raise your hand and answered mountain lions. Oh, well, that is a big problem. Mountain lions.

Well they do is they eat the power lions and somehow they don't die. It doesn't make any sense. You'd think they die from eating the puck, but no, it's just a snack. And then they knocked a power out for the rest of us dummies. It's crazy. I hate to report this, but the kid who answered Detroit and the kid who answered mountain lions, they were both dead serious and thought they had the right answer. Well in

defense of the kid that said Detroit. One of my favorite stories about an old NBA player Benoitt Benjamin Bennoit Benjamin when he was playing in the NBA. He had left the NBA. This is the old NBA player from the eighties and the early in the nineties. I think he played till two thou anyway, he had gone to Europe to play. And uh, Lee Klein, who you know? Lee knew Benoit and we we were all talking. Actually Lee was talking to Benoit, and but Lee asked him,

he said, Hey, what countries did you play it? He? Uh, he named Paris, uh is what he named, and he named two other cities in Europe that he Again the question was what country did you play in? And he named named cities. And then the other part of that, which was greatly actually brought me over for this. But Nooy asked us if we knew any teams that needed a center, And I thought that was an interesting thing.

I I don't believe that happens anymore. Do you think that modern NBA players will ask a couple of random radio people, hey, do you know anybody who might want to hire a basketball player a center? And the and and all that. Uh, but it's it is h as far as the kids think, Like, how many kids know Delaware was the first date? Right, the first day known as the first date and all that, and they don't they still learn that stuff and that they must not. Right,

that's like kind of random trivia stuff. When you do trivia, you become trivial. That's a Tom loud Y. There is this thing called US history and it is taught in most schools. Um, apparently these kids need a brush up on that class. Yeah, those two answers scared me. Those are our future leaders of America. Yes, and they will be congress people, you name it, local politicians and we'll all have a ringside seat as we get over. And by the way, the answer was squirrel for the animal

that causes most of the power outages. Yeah, those squirrels are trouble man. At the Mallard Mansion, the old Mallard mansion. I am convinced we had squirrels in the addict of the house running around. Either that or there was a

poltergeist malfeasans over here. So I had big plans, big plans, uh to tweak the home studio which I'm broadcasting from right now over the last week, and the way this came, I mean Mike cartoon bubble above my head, a big cartoon bubble, and I was like, you know, I should upgrade this thing. I've done this for a couple of years from the home studio, and so the way this works,

imagine if you will. I have on the left side a terrestrial radio setup and that's the equipment that hooks me up to Fox Sports Radio the mothers, and on that side I built that for w E I years ago, and so I have a lot of thing of the jigs and what your McCall it's and all kinds of things on the left side that makes me sound all neat and pretty and all that. So on the right side, I don't want to say it's bare bones, but in comparison, it's the podcast side. And so I was like, you know,

I want to upgrade this loople. So I said, I'm gonna get a few toys and I'm gonna play around with this. And I figured you can never go wrong with more jets and gizmos. Danny right went in doubt, throw some more gadgets and gizmos out. Why not? These things aren't that expensive. There's little things to make you sound better and all that. So I I'm always trying to find things that can improve the quality of any of this nonsense that we do. So I decided to get a new mic filter and a mic arm, a

convenient mic arm for the podcast. I have one for the other side. Let's see, these are relatively minor things that in my head the cartoon bubble would help the efficiency the quality of the product, and they were cost effective because these things didn't cost that much. So the microphone arm, the mic arm was just a convenience move, and I was just tired of holding the microphone. So the first world problem. So I decided to spend a few bucks. I got a mic arm to hold the microphone.

I got a filter that I had read about. It was pretty good, smooth out the quality of the broadcast bestly plans of mice men and guess back, no popping peas exactly. So these do hickeys arrive and I had a lot going on as family in town, so I was unable to open them right away. So I finally get around to opening these these things, and then all boxed up and all that, So I get the scissors out under the box taking things apart. So I put the mic arm up, and I think you can tell

Danny because you can see me. But the mic arm literally and figuratively was such a turd. As I was putting it up, it fell apart in my hands. As I was setting the thing up. Was it made out of legos? I mean it looked like it was solid, but it wasn't solid. I guess somehow they screw maybe I screwed it up, but it was not working like the thing. I twisted the thing in the middle and the whole thing came apart, and there were what I was crazy, something like, oh, I that's that's gonna be returned.

So then I'm like, let me put the mic filter and you know, I'll hook it up with my mixer. Well, okay, so I hook it up. I went out and bought some cables and all that, and it turns out that the thing I got is not compatible with the mixer that I have because there's a voltage issue. I never factored that in. I didn't think of that as a variable that I need to worry about, but it was. So it turned out to be a total case of

mouth feasance. So then to make matters worse, as I mentioned, I also had gone out and I had purchased some new cables to put all this stuff together. So now I gotta return the cables. So now I gotta I gotta go back, and I gotta return everything. And uh man, oh man, oh man. I was so so pisty again the best laid plans of mice men and podcasters. So I still plan on upgrading. I'm gonna buy another mic arm, Danny,

so I'll see if that. I'll spend a little bit more and see if you get more bang for your bucket all that. But I am disappointed because it was supposed to be all set up for this podcast, and it was a Murphy's law situation. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. I thought there was a hidden camera somewhere if you could have seen the look on my face, Danny, when I was like, Oh, come on, I've been radio long time. I can set up a mic arm. What's the big deal you you put this

thing connected? Big deal, No big deal, no problem at all. And as I'm putting it up, I'm struggling. I start twisting some things and then the thing just comes. It's like putty in my hands, brutal. I think we've all been there with Amazon where we try to save a few bucks and we get the one that's twenty seven

instead of and then it's a piece of rapping. It waste your time and you have to return it and you're like, damn it, I should have just got the one, And that's what you wind up doing in the end, And when you're over three the way you were, I've had that happen as well. Then all of a sudden, you have three Amazon packages in your car that you're like, oh, I gotta return that. I'm gonna do it tomorrow, and

you're lugging this crap around. The Last time I had three returns for Amazon, it took me two weeks to get that stuff to the ups store. Well, yeah, that's the concern, right, You're like, well, am I gonna forget about this? And we do have some listeners. We got one of our big fans in Arkansas is I guarantee he's the guy sent me the razorback and he's going to get this item, one of these items. He runs a clearance warehouse where they sell all of the return

items from Walmart. So someone's gonna get really lucky. They're gonna get a broken mic arm that I had in the studio here. The other thing will work fine if you have the right equipment. I had the wrong equipment. I thought I had the right equipment. And so all of this stuff will end at a Amazon return store for pennies on the dollar. Amazon not allowed to resell products that they have sent out. Think how much more?

I don't understand that, right I? I I think if somebody returns, if it has it's not broken, and just we'll sell it again. You can sell it at a discount. But they just get rid of all that stuff and they sell it by the truckload two people who charge like five bucks per item or ten bucks per item and all that. Yeah, I guess I got some money. Here, we have the back scratcher. Are you ready for the backscratch? Let's go? All right? This is our weekly tip of

the on air light to the most loyal minions. Thanks a ton, and we do this once a weekend on Saturdays. Are actual listeners of the podcast, the Fifth Hour podcast on the Apple podcast page. The thing that management checks out. So we will go to the Apple podcast page and this week number one number only one, but that's fine. One a week we'll take that. We'd like to Two would be good, Three would blow the doors off. We

got three that would be amazed. The review five stars headline fifth hour is number one, says great content every weekend. What's the story on Friday's song? Going into the last segment, so he's asking me about the radios funky music, Sleepy Jane, weekends made for fun. That's from George in Champa Bay, Florida. So all he's talking about the freestyle classic Lookout Weekend. Yes, that's a song that you found, Danny, that people love. It's one of those songs that not a lot of

people know about. When they hear it, they go bajeebras, They're like, oh, that's cool, and it feels like the weekend is starting every time you hear that song. Yeah, and it's an old song. How old is the song? Well, how many years are we going back? I believe it's from the late eighties. Okay, so it's a it's over thirty years old. Yeah, over thirty years old and did not get a lot of playback when it came out.

I would think it's I didn't hear it. I don't remember hearing it back in the eighties, So I mean if you were like a one oh six km e L listener or a old school Power one oh six listener in the late eighties, you might have heard it. Okay, Uh what was his name doing morning drive? He was on the TV show chairs. Oh Thomas? Umh Jay Thomas Thomas. Yes,

Jay Thomas, radio guy, Jay Thomas. I'm J Thomas in the boarding was back in the it was actually mid eighties for that song lookout Weekend And yeah, you would have heard Jay Thomas in the morning on Power one of six L A is that guy still around? Jay Thomas? That's he unfortunately passed away? Did he did? He did? What did he pass away up? I want to say cancer? Yeah, all right. He was a good guy. I met him back in the day at a radio convention. Oh yeah, yeah.

He made an appearance at a radio convention back in the day and was one of the keynote speakers. Um yeah, he I'm looking him up right now. He passed away. In seen. He was an American actor, comedian in radio personnel. He was heard on New York airways from seventy six to seventy nine on X and later on rhythmic HR station k t U and in l A beginning in nineteen six on our one oh six, where he hosted

the top rated morning show until yeah. And he's the definition of a real broadcaster, like a radio guy and hey day a radio and he had the big pipes and the whole thing and the goofy radio bits and all that. He was a nice guy. All right. Well, I didn't realize he passed away. As if the last five years or so have all it's been a haze. It has been, But to be fair, I do not usually read the departure section on the internet. We used to tease this guy. Uh. He was the morning host

on our AM station in Ventura. They played like Frank Sinatra music, Uh huh. And we would see him reading the obituaries every day in the paper and we're like, less, what are you doing? And he and he would look at us with a straight face and he'd say, I'm seeing how many listeners I lost yesterday. That's good. I like it. It's a good line. I have to steal that one. Let's said solid material. Well, I don't need to read the o bits because cowboy John Brad does.

He's he's always the guy that tells us when somebody died the day they died, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Speaking of Cowboy, he said this week he's going to enter the talent show The Mallard Paluza. Oh I heard about this. Mallard Paluza is coming up this week. It is Wednesday, in the Thursday, the day after the All Star Game, the most important night of the summer, not the Major League Baseball All Star Game, The Mallard Pellos A talent show.

A lot of controversy with Jay Scoop announcing he's retiring from the Talent Show. People blown away by that did not see it shocked as shocking is really more shocking than Tom Brady because Tom Brady retired. You figured he's at the appropriate age and Jay Scoop is not doing a dance with death or anything like that. He's still in his prime. And but he just decided to shut her down. And he said he wanted other people to have an opportunity. But I am hearing rumors that he

may change his mind. I don't know if that's true or not, but there are people saying things that he might walk back that retirement at the last minute, but I do not know. I do not know. So we have Ohio Al, the guy that makes the jingle for this Fifth Hour mailbag on Sunday. Kathy and Madison has signed up Rachel Amana below. A lot of the big music acts of the past, other than Ohio Out, have yet to sign up. Mr PC in Michigan says he's out,

mentioned Jay Scoop is out. I've not heard from raz Quit, the band now called ras Acoustic on Twitter, so we'll see him. We always get last minute people. I have not heard from the Boston Burper, whether the Boston Purple will be back. I don't know if the Pigs Squealer from Kansas will be in this year. I don't know, but we'll find out. So it should be an interesting, interesting week, Danny with the talent show the main event

right near the middle of the week. Now, Kathy usually serenades you, so for the talent shows are just more of the same. Yeah, Well, Cathy's the Hey Mona woman. She gave us the great Hey Mona and all that. So she's she did send a song in where she lives. She's not able to perform live, but she said she did do a song for us and she wanted everyone

to hear it. And so we'll see what happens with that and people getting various a. Blind Scott's planning on doing stand up comedy Poppy Picking with Poppy, who everyone hates. A lot of regular callers hate Poppy because he's got his own segment now and he's there. He's gonna do a monologue Plastered Paul. I do not believe will be part of this, but if he did take part in this, he'd be the Archie Bunker. He'd do like racist stuff. After that verbal Octagon, I feel like Blind Scott should

do a one man band routine. Yeah, I think I told him that the other day. I said, you should mimic the Rainforest Cafe. You ever been to the Rainforest Cafe where you just do a bunch of weird animal sounds like you're out in the jungle, And that's what

he did in the Octagon. He just started making weird odd sounds, like different animals you'd see, like if you were Tarzan and you were out in a jungle and you had your machete and you were swinging from vines and you had a rope and that's how that would go. That was the highlight of that octagon. It was just ridiculous. Like he's sitting by himself, he's got his dog Dylan with him, and he just starts doing all kinds of wild sound effects. It was. It was nuts a little

time for let's get scientifical. Let's get scientifical. These are actual science stories, and we say is this real? Is this bullshit? And it's a tribute to that old show on Showtime. Penn and Teller had a show by that name, and so the first story from him, let's get scientific. What comes out of the farming world. We have a lot of listeners who farm in Kansas and Nebraska and Iowa who listened to us, and they spend a lot of their time on attractors and whatnot, living the farming life.

So now when I fly from West coast to East coast, I occasionally we'll look down and we probably all do this over what they call flyover country, and all you can see is nothing but film fields of different crops right right, a lot of wheat whatever it might be well, soon those fields will look much different, Danny. They there were The story from the science world here says that we could be seeing soon multi eye colored fields of

the future in farming. They're testing this actually in England. Now, what do you think the purpose is of having multi colored fields in the future of farming? What do you think this would be, Danny? So that you could do more murals of Tupac, Biggie and Kobe's face. Oh you've seen this story before, You've No, I've seen the murals. Yeah, yeah, the murals are not the reasons that the reason why no. Um. They claim that they're testing this out. They're calling it

cameo cropping. Okay, it's a test run. This This seems like bull bullpucky to me. But the science community believes that using spectacularly bright multicolored fields is a technique. It's called camel cropping. As I said, it's undergoing trials right now in the UK. It's being used to confuse pests. And so what they do is the soil is dried red, blue, green or whatever color to hide emerging like sugar beet

crops from disease and whatnot. And so they claim that they think the pests have there been such a problem here and because all the environmental people have banned so many pesticides from from farming, that the bugs are just taking over, and so they think that this will be a way to keep the bugs at bay. That sounds like malooney to me, that's what that sounds like. I'm going Bologney. Don't know. If you see the new Jurassic Park film, there's these huge locusts on steroids. Yeah, they

were killing the farmlands across the country. It could happen, Ben, that movie was based on a true story. Yeah, I'm scared. I'm shaking. I'm shaking right now, Danny, I need my medicine. So I mentioned I saw dolphins. I was out whale watching, so a bunch of dolphins and science. They love the dolphins, they claim. Now there's a new story out that says, according to do a research paper, that dolphins are so cultured. How cultured are they that they even enjoy listening to

Beethoven and Bach? I don't know, but this m it seems a lotte. They seem like sports radio fans to me, I think they listened to overnight sports radio because I'm not sure, if you're familiar with this, Danny. The dolphin does not have a bed. There's no bed in the ocean. So the dolphins always gonna be moved, and at night they gotta be moving. What better way to listen enjoy the night in the ocean than listen to some marginal

overnight sports radio. Yeah, the soothing sounds of the Mallard militia. Damn right, all right, A milky sea has been caught on camera for the first time ever. Danny, it's not exciting now I saw this story. Yeah, that's the first time ever the Indian ocean. Now, this has been a legend that has been passed from generation to generation. There's stories of surface of the ocean turning completely white, and it's been passed down for hundreds of years, but nobody

had ever actually taken photos of it. And now they have. Now, now they have, they claim this is all bacteria. The milky sea caused by luminous bacteria. They are communicating with each other and they triggered a glowing response. Just everything's right. The sweet spot is reached. The white sea went for thirty nine thousand square miles. But it's the first time

I ever captured on camera. I wish we could show you the photo, but the crew used images with a smartphone and a go pro and they captured it all right there in the Indian Sea. And it's pretty wild to think that this thing has been this has going on for as long as the oceans have been around. I assume people have talked about it, sailors have talked about it, and only recently did we actually get photos

of this. Pretty crazy, Yeah, it is. And you know, we have a crazy looking sea right here in southern California, the Salton Sea, oh, which is going away. Yeah have

you seen that? Yeah, they're digging up all kinds of old World War two things and whatnot, and not that World War two was was there, but they tested a lot of the vehicles and whatnot, right, and that it's really creepy, and there's tons of homes that are boarded up, and the stars movie stars used to vacation there back in the fifties and sixties and then all the fish started dying and there was all this corrosion and god,

it's really gross now. But if you've ever been there, it's one of those places where you're like, oh my god, I could afford property here. Yeah, and they imagine the people that bought houses there, and then they they realized, well, wait a minute, no one can actually live here. You cant Actually, you're not supposed to go in the water here, You're supposed to stay away. This is not good. This is not good for human consumption. And uh yeah, that's uh,

that's a problem. Alright, last one real quick. Let's get scientifical. And you know how there's like a big hurricane and they named them, the Weather Service named them, right, yeah, Well, a group of scientists have have decided that we need to do that for heat waves, that they should do the same thing. They claim that this will better alert people. Oh man, Shirley is gonna be one hot bitch. Yeah.

So they claim that this will help people because I guess people don't realize when it's gonna be hot unless you put a name on it, you know, Hattie Helen or you know, smoking the Smoke Show, Sarah, you know, whatever it might be. So I think we're good. I don't know that we need to have name. Are there so many more heat waves than there are hurricanes? You know what I'm saying? That's lame? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just dumb anyway, all right, we gotta get out of

here any to promote Danny and Andy. All Saturday, a wonderful, glorious day here, the sixteenth day of the month of July. I will be sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the one oh one Freeway on my way to the beautiful FSR Studios and even more beautiful Sherman Oaks, California, unless it's not the most beautiful city in southern California. And it's gonna be just Jeff Schwartz and Steve Hartman show, So Hartman and Schwartz, and then after that it's gonna

be the from Salam and Brian No show. May the Schwartz be with you? I'm in command. Sure well, they will be with you or he will be. All right, we'll get out of here. Have a great rest your Saturday mail bag on Sunday. We will talk to you then later. Skater, Hey, all right, so you realize you're like the only guy left that uses that technology. Yeah, what do you think about the oil? That is a classic line, helmet man, We just got a new drop
