The Fifth Hour: Take That Big Tech

all weekend long, no days off. No, we are not practicing load management. We are not. We do not believe in injury prevention. At any time, at any time, our vocal cords could pop from overuse. We are not saving our voice for the postseason. We don't believe in that bullshit. We are here to entertain the masses, all seven of you who download the podcast religiously every week. Danny G. It is our mission, it is our life's purpose, to provide marginal audio content, and damn it, we're gonna do

it every week. Danny. Hey, that's seven and a half. Ben. Because my mom forces her little shit su to listen in the living room while she plays the podcast. He counts as a half. Let me tell you something, your mom. All moms are great unless they're not. But I'm a fan of moms. You. I support my mother mission rest in people. She had three dogs that listen to every one of my show, earf every one of the shows

I ever did. I had three extra dogs that listen, and she told every other dog in the neighborhood about her son's radio show. She was very proud of her son's a little radio show. So anyway, on this edition, the fifth hour, we've got one of my favorite stories, the influencer, Snowball in Paradise, losing the inheritance. What you're doing backscratcher. But wait, there's more. We've got Pop goes the culture scientifically, and whatever we don't get to today,

we can always get to on the Sunday podcast. So we'll try to get to as much of that as we can. But we begin with this, and it's really sums up my existence in social media now. There are big companies that advise people who are quasi celebrities. Foe celebt, I'm a foe selebt, I'm a real celebrit I'm a foe selebt. And so they advise these people on how to handle social media and how to have power and things like that, and they tell you you should have

one name on every platform. On Instagram, on Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, that's your brand. One name. I have a name for Facebook. I have a different name for Twitter. I have a different name for Instagram. Every one of these platforms there's a different name. So I get this message on my phone from my Instagram page and this kind of caught my attention, Danny, so I said, and I clicked on it, and I got I got a look. Side of my eyes kind of puffed up a little bit, and I'm

gonna read this. I'm holding my phone. I'm gonna read this verbatim, Danny. So it says, hey, there, we love your profile so much and we want you to try our products for free. Oh yeah, I'm in. If it's free, it's for me. And then it says just message us at blank and then it has the name of the account to message and we'll send you some free samples, and it says don't miss out. These spots are limited. So I'm excited. I'm like, what am I gonna get?

Maybe I'll get a shirt, maybe I'll get ahead, maybe I'll get a jet, you know, something pretty cool. So, Danny, I'm now going to send you the link. Because I clicked on the link. I was excited. I was like, I'm gonna go shopping and I don't have to pay for anything. So here is the link. I am now an influencer and I can now I can now pick out any item on this particular page and then I will be able to wear said item. Uh, this is this is very exciting. Uh, Danny, I think you'll agree

when you click on that there. That really sums up my head. Instagram models wearing little outfits. Yeah, there's a there's a bikini model over here that, there's a I don't know what that one holding, a lot of women holding purses. There's a lot to send you. That little purple top that that girls were yeah, the crop top or the yellow one. Oh man, I was so pissed. I was like, dude, you look good in that green bra. I'm like, you know, here we are. I'm all excited.

I'm getting some stuff and it's like, oh my god, it's it's these weird glasses and crap like that. Oh my god, it's a little top with her boob sticking out in there. It's like a bandanna design for the little crop top. Yeah, that I'll look good in that, right, that was your left arm. That'll show my girlish figure. So for a moment, Danny, I was an influencer for a moment, For a very brief moment, I had influencer powers, and I thought, man, I finally arrived. Finally I've arrived.

I can get some swag and I'm an ambassador for this company. And then it's it's like all like female stuff. What did it feel like being a Jenner? For just a moment, I was excited. Man, I was like, I was gonna text my wife and I was, hey, we've made it. We've met the family's made it, and uh no, I like it says it says inspired by today's youth, unique eye wear, vintage with style. It says on this site. And so how the fuck did they end up standing?

I know it's all probably a computer or a robot or something like, but how will I end up on that list? We're like, I know, we'll send this jackass a link, and how does that happen. Anyway, it happened, So we'll move on from that. Now, these snowball in Paradise twas a winter wonderland in southern California. And this is a story that has never been told. I didn't talk about this on the podcast on the radio show. I saved it for the podcast. So where the snow

meets the ocean, it never rains in La. It's not supposed to snow, for God's sakes. And so let me let me prefer this Danny by saying that it was not snowing in the north Woods. And last weekend, my plan was to have a lazy, rainy day at the Mallard match. You know, one of those days. You stay home, you wear your pajamas, you watch TV, you eat, you cook food you already have, you know, go you don't leave the house. That was my plan. And as the old line goes, if you want to make God laugh,

tell them about your plans. So I'm sleeping at eight am. The power goes out. How do I know the power went out at eight am? So I'm sleeping. I'm not awake at eight am on a Saturday. I'm sleeping. And I always have white noise in the background. I have a fan, or I have summer I have the AC going the room air conditioner. Otherwise I can't sleep right, I cannot sleep. I need to have some some background.

So I was awoken when that noise vanished at eight in the morning, and I tried to go back to sleep, but I knew right the power had gone out, and all as I tried to get back to sleep, and then after about thirty minutes of tossing and turning and you know what am I doing, I said, Oh, screw it. I got up and I went to the gym and I spent like two hours on the treadmill because I

had nothing else. So then I got a text. I said, my wife said, hey, the power company says that the service that they're figuring out the problem is, but the service will not be on until the nighttime. So it's like at this point, it's probably ten thirty eleven in the morning. And I came home and they said they

were sending a crew out fix the problem. So around around that time, my mother in law informed my life that it was snowing on the freeway where she lives in her neck of the woods near she lives kind of close to my sister in law. So we made a decision since we why would we stay at home. Was cold and rainy, and the power was out. We couldn't use the refrigerator. We couldn't you know all that. So we made a decision to make a run out too. I could be Uncle Benny, right, make a day of it.

Getting the mallamobile, headed head to the area. The snow was falling, which, by the way, for those of you in southern California, right off the two ten freeway, it was a winter wonderland kind of past Glendora, Sandemas past that area, and so it was it was. And so we got out there and my mother in law said, this is where it's snowing. We get out there on the freeway, no snow, It was raining, there was no snow, So we decided to get off. I decided, oh, let's

get off the freeway. And I got off the freeway and I turned left and I went four blocks kind of towards the mountains, and boom, it was a snow utopia. It was awesome. It really was a winter wonderland and it felt like I was back and I'd been in the snow and New York or Boston or Connecticut, you know one of those places. It was beautiful. It was snowball and paradise. There used to be a sports not

a sports anchor. Was a news anchor in La named Jerry Dumpy, and he said his famous line was from the desert to the sea to all of southern California. It's a good evening, an old school newscaster. And you could add from the surf to the slopes, right because it was crazy. And and you had the photo which I didn't take a picture of it. I hadn't posted, but these you know, those Spanish style houses with the the uh, the like kind of orange brick on the

on the you know what I'm talking about. Yeahs covered in snow. And it was like the craziest thing covered in snow. And so we had a brief snowball fight and loved it. Wonderful time. And then we just kind of mosied around, went to bass Pro shops, wandered around that ginormous store, ate some donuts at that legendary donut place out there, donut Man, and then I hung out. I hung out with my niece and nephew. Awesome little kids and the and they lived kind of in bear country,

and my nephew was playing the Floor's Lava. Great game, wonderful game and nothing great when we were when I was a kid, we had like the ocean, there were sharks. We pretended it was like sharks, not so much the floor's lava, but it was like there was like ocean filled with evil sharks. But I had a fun day. We turned to the Mallor mansion and by the time we got back, the power was on there. So it was a happy, happy time. And the good news that

there's no losing of the inheritance, there's none. Danny, Well, this is a snow story also that ties into yours, because there are parts of California where maybe they've gotten some snow from time to time, but not this amount of snow, not where you need a snow plow just to go to the grocery store. My dad, he's not part of the Garadeli Empire because he got out of

high school. He decided to go his own direction. So for years he has co owned and operated a construction company and it's taken him to places like Denver, where he was part of the construction crew on the Broncos latest stadiums. He also built some homes in Colorado Springs and then most famously built some home with his partner in bass Lake, right outside of Yosemite. He stood there like a prospector ben on this land in bass Lake that's some big wig, some rich guy owned, and he's

helping to build this guy a lake home. And he told himself, someday, I'm going to come back to bass Lake here and build my own house. And that's what he did. About a decade now, he's been living there on the lake. Still works part time for the construction company, just as a supervisor, you know, because he's done with the holding the hammer himself. So I'm going to send you some before and after pictures. He built himself a nice little home there on the lake, all right, and

you'll see the pictures. The last time I visited, I took some pictures of his front deck. Okay, I'm clicking this here. Yeah, beautiful, beautiful, big trees and right in the middle of the forest it feels like yeah, and literally cross over the street and you are a hundred feet away from Bass Lake from the water, and they've gotten snow from time to time. But he has been snowed in with my step mom for ten straight days now. And look at the Look at how much snow has

fallen there. This looks like buffalo. That looks like the That looks like a lake effect blizzard you would see outside a Bill's game. It does. That's a while. It's so bad that the neighbor to the left had their roof cave in. Oh no, the neighbor to the right, the guy was trying to light his furnace and it exploded in his face. There's face burned, his hair, his face, his eyebrows off. Oh my gosh, there's been no snowplow action.

They have been stuck there, trapped like rats. Finally they have enough food, or they had enough food, or were they prepared, or they knew that they were going to have a bad storm for a couple of days. They had no idea that it was going to be this bad, that the snow was gonna come down like this and collapse roofs there in their neighborhood. Everybody's been freaking out there because they can't even go into town to get supplies. As he stands outside his house there, the snow is

coming up to his chest. Wow, that's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. So finally a couple of days ago they were able to for a couple of hours with shovels dig their truck out of it and they were able to at least drive to the town over and they are now

in a hotel. All right, Well, that's do they have an a frame like if you don't have an a frame roof, like I was hearing that some of these places in the mountains around San Berardino County, the houses that don't have an a frame roof, as you talked about that guy, the snow sits there and will collapse the roof. Yeah, that you need to have that triangle shaped roof or else you're screwed. You know, it's a great future career. Let's he a roofer in an area

like that. You are going to be a hot demand. You know what we should have done as a hustle though, get a snowblower. He blew me off at a hotel near lax How dare you and go up there? And we would have made so much money? How if much money people would have paid. There was somebody going through the neighborhoods there selling gas in propane, sure, charging triple the price, making a boatload of money, and he bought

some pails of gas from the guy. That was the only resource he was able to get from somebody to keep his generator running. Wow, price couching the American way, right, that's what happens. It's like when there's an earthquake in the hotels, all of a sudden getting a lot more expensive. Yeah, does look like Buffalo. I'll have to tweet that out at Danny G Radio. Yeah, it looks like something I've seen at a tailgate outside of Bill's game, where you're like,

what the hell is that? I don't get it? Speaking of the what what what you're doing? And I had a few more stragglers. I can now say the word that that have told us what they do. First, Mike from Fullerton says, I was brushing my teeth and floshing flossing. When you asked what people were doing at the start of Saturday's pot, I mainly yell at Alexa to play the fifth hour while I'm doing monotonous things on the weekend like working out, shaving, et cetera. So that's from

Mike in Flerton. I didn't realize that the show would play if you just ask Alexa, you just yell at Alexa and then it'll play the fifth hour. That's pretty cool, dude. Alexa can do anything I say, Alexa, do the splits, Hey, Alexa,

send me some money, Alexa, twerk, shake that moody. Come on pimping, get your tims on Kevin in Kansas, he writes into the very popular what You're doing segment, he says, while he's listening to the Fifth Hour, he is jogging or mowing yards seasonally, say is my favorite podcast to work too. Well. Thank you God bless you, Kevin. And you've been great over the years, sending us questions pretty

much every week religiously. In fact, it's at the point now, Kevin, if you don't send a question in, we feel like we need to do a wellness check on you to make sure everything's okay. We're at that We're at that point in the relationship. That's where we are in the relationship, and that's just just the way it is. So the backscratcher, Danny, and before we get to the backstratcher, if you would like to send in if you have not yet done it, and you're late to the party, send in what you're doing.

We'll still mix those in if we get some some good ones, ben it. Send me an email, Real fifth hour at gmail dot com, Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com, all letters, no numbers, Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com, and just put what you're doing and explain what you're doing and we'll read it on there. So the backscratcher, the goal is to get to four hundred, Danny. The goal. We've got to get to four hundred by the end of the year. That is a nominal goal. You said by the summer. I said by the end

of year. You said by the summer. And these are the Apple podcast reviews that Bannon's talking about. So this week, Danny, did we get one, two, four? Well, no, no reviews. I'm gonna say, dosts. Yeah the answer Danny boom right there. Four we had four reviews. Right, this is big. Well, this is cool. So this puts us over the three eighty mark. Where three eighty one, so we only need nineteen more reviews. But let's get to the nice reviews

right now from fellow listeners, men, women, and children. In the backscratcher segment, you scratch our back, we'll scratch your back, we'll give you a weekly tip of the on air light. Here to the loyal supporters of the podcast on that

Apple podcast page. Now, why do we obsess about the Apple podcast page Because we have corporate overlords that do love that page for whatever reason, they think that is the end all be all, And we are fighting the good fight against other podcasts that have bots and and pay for reviews. We don't do it. We have no budget when it comes to that kind of thing. The first review, though, comes from Melissa in Rocky Mount, Virginia.

She writes in love the show, she says, I've been authorized by Brigadier General Jason and Rocky Mount leave a five star review. Thanks for keeping my husband entertained while he is at work and on the weekends. I have also come to love your show. I can listen when I can listen you rock Well, that's very nice. Look

at that. See that that right there is a wonderful wife because she know she's maybe not a big fan of the show, but she supports her husband and she knows that the legend that is Jason and Rocky Mount Virginia has been a big supporter of the show for years and that's awesome. So and also, Melissa, thank your husband because he did send he's a hat benefactor. He sent me a hat from the local Salem Red Sox team. It's in my rotation. So it's very good. Happy husband

would blow jobs, happy life. That's absolutely great. Every woman knows that. All right, James and Arkansas, Right City says, just trying to help you, help you to reach your goal for reviews. Well, thank you, James. I have a side job driving cars in between dealerships and delivering cars purchased off the dealership website. Sorry, you two had to buy in this market. The little windows stickers added by the dealership have market adjustment two to four thousand dollars

above sticker. Oh man, yeah, I got stuck with that. I enjoy listening driving down the highway. That's James in Arkansas. God bless you, James. That is an interesting job. So I assume you'd drive. I would assume James, and he's not there to answer this, Danny, but I would assume this. The way this works is you'd have some kind of tow truck or something like that. You'd drop the car off and then that's it. Right, You're done you'd drive back and that how that would work? Yeah, I would

think kind of bobbies. Next up, it says a headline, wonderful pair. This is from b nine zero two one zero. So it's just a fine wine pairs nicely with an interesting stinky cheesee, just like a fine wine pairs nicely with a interesting stinky cheese. That's a funny Danny G pairs nicely with Ben Maller, and the fifth Hour pairs nicely with the Ben Mallers Show. So glad the two of you put forth the extra time to make weekend content that makes me tuned into Fox Sports Radio and

not have to seek out another station. Never disappointed, Love it, Keep it up. That's from the nine O two one oh no name. Just that's what it said last one on the backscratcher. These are actual reviews by actual listeners on the Apple podcast page. And if you like this and you want to be part of it next week, Boom, you can be part of it. Cliff in Nashville, he's a regular supporter of our content. Cliff in Nashville says

this podcast is great for your mind and body. He says walking for exercise is better with Ben Long walks are boring. That is true. That is kind of boring. So he says, I planned them around this podcast. So entertaining with witty Ben and Danny g always interesting to hear the adventures and experiences these two have never born from Cliff in Nashville. So thank you, Cliff. I appreciate that, and Danny you do too, Right, this is great Apple podcast page help us out. Yeah, thank you to all

four of you. That's really nice to take some time out of your day to make those reviews. Yeah, we do appreciate it. And we're not kidding. Some people think we're kidding. I trust I promise you we are not kidding. No, we are bean counters at the company that sift through all the reviews. Yeah, and this is a product of iHeartMedia. And as you know, Danny, they love their podcast like they are. I don't want to speak for the company, but I feel like they're more into the podcast stuff

than the radio stuff at this point. They love podcast They changed their name. It's not iHeartRadio, it's iHeart Media. And a big part of media is podcasting. Yeah, and they they're the largest podcaster. We're competing with like a gazillion podcast. There are other companies that sign up for ihearts just to have their podcasts put out there. So at least for podcasting, we work for the right company. Yeah, we're doing okay in that department. Pop goes the culture.

Let's give it up for Ohio, ow Ohio our body. Pop goes the culture. All right, so we'll do a few of these, Danny, and this one comes out of the tech world. Pop goes the culture. Is it true that a poll has gone full woke? I think they were already woke. But a new feature they have added that slows charging down on your phone when clean energy

isn't used. Did you see this? No? Yeah? And now, of course iPhone users are claiming that Apple is actually trying to trick them into upgrading by quietly slowing the charging down. That explains why my phone has been moving so slow, because everything's dirty over here, Daddy, dirt, dirty dirty, you're dirty devil. Yeah, Apple quietly releasing a feature that

determines if and when an iPhone charges. The feature slows down the process when quote sustainable close quote electricity is unavailable, and people believe many people now believing that Apple has quietly added this trick to get them to buy new phones. And there's a bit of an uproar that is going on, and they want to sell thousand dollars phones. What the fuck is clean energy charging? Anyway? What does that even mean? That's a good question. I don't I don't get that.

I mean, I plug my phone in. That's whatever power I have. I have. Now the good news, And this is as a public service, Danny. If you do happen to have an iPhone on your iPhone, if you tap on settings, these settings, I'm want to do this right now because I've not actually done this. So I'm gonna get my iPhone out. I'm want to say here, all right, I got mine out. Two settings all right? If you

tap battery, followed by battery, health and charging. So, by the way, mine says, I averaged fifteen point five hours a day on my phone? Is that bad? Oh? Man? Let me see how many hours exactly? I don't know how many hours? Oh screen the screen time? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a lot. Uh oh what I said? All right, So you battery, let's see tap on battery, follow battery to health, battery health and charging, all right, and then you tap on the toggle button next to clean Energy Charging. Yeah,

and you turn that feature on or off. I guess you would want to turn it off. It says, if your region iPhone will try to reduce the iPhone, try to reduce your carbon footprint. Oh my god, carbon footprint, carbon footprint, to buy selectively charging when lower cable emission electricity is available iPhone. Blah blah blah. So I assume you have to turn that off, right, turn it off? Okay, turning it off? Yeah, it was automatically on. It says

clean energy charging helps reduce carbon footprint. Turn off until tomorrow. Turn off or cancel? Turn off, bitch, beach, turn it off. There you go. Screw you, all right? Look at that. That's a PSA on popcast. Big tech. Take that, big tech and your little tricks. We're helping people out here. We're helping them push back against the footprint. All right. I didn't realize we were going to go down that road.

Here's an odd one. There's a glitch in the matrix, if you will, that a bird has been filmed motionless in midair. How is this possible, Danny G? How is this possible? Yeah? Now, this has happened before in twenty twenty, a year we'd all like to forget. There was a camera hovering motionless in midair. A bird was caught by camera, I should say, hovering in Gallop, New Mexico. Nobody could figure it out. People tried to explain what was going on. They thought it was a fake. They thought it was

some kind of photoshop thing. So here we are in twenty twenty three, and oops, it happened again. A mystery unfolding in British Columbia, oh A man capturing a video of a bird floating in the air motions. The footage shows a colored bird in the sky with nothing attached to it. It happened about one pm. This happened back to February eighteenth near a secondary school and the man says, that's a dead bird and it's just floating in the air,

no strings, no nothing. And during the video, the man moves around to show there's nothing attached the bird, nor as it perched on anything. He zooms in on the life like bird, which seems to be swaying slightly with the wind, but does not flinch or moved. Uh, man, weird, that is pretty crazy. I don't I don't know what's going on with that? But it's a wacky world out there, my man. It's a wacky, wacky world, is what it is.

Speaking of wacky world, you guys talk about on your show with the Boys, did you talk about that Madonna is now dating one of her children's trainers, thirty five years her junior. No at that? Yeah, Madonna, she's sixty four years old and she is romancing someone named Josh Popper. I don't know who that is. He's twenty nine years old. Who twenty nine years old? Wow? And so yeah, there you go, the New York City trainer. And according to the tabloids, and they're never wrong, the Queen of is

dating a twenty nine years man. The story she must have late at night in bed if you asked her, like, hey, tell me about your dating life in your twenties and thirties, Imagine the story she has. I mean, from Tupac to Warren Beatty. Yeah, she's seen and done at all. Literally, But what could they possibly have in common other than the obvious? You know what I'm saying? What menopause is he pre med? What does he know about menopause? When this guy's hooking up with the queen of pop. You

think he's going like a Vergin. You think he's like, you know, thinking some old madonnaitons from back in the day and alive. All right, Well, how about this lawyer. This is quite the story. A Florida lawyer arrested for spending his clients settlement money on drugs and only fans. This guy, this guy was going, I was going for it. Forty four year old attorney facing charges of money laundering,

grand theft for defrauding sixteen clients. He's this guy stole more than eight hundred thousand dollars and he blew the money on drugs and and only fans. Sounds like a good weekend. The only fans thing is fascinating to me that the amount of dudes that is sending money into this, it blows my mind. It is the modern peep show, right. We remember when we were younger, Danny back, they had before the internet porn, they had peep shows. In New York.

Used to be a bunch of those. Yeah, it was all peep shows, nudes, nudes, nudes, girls, girls, girls, all that stuff, and that all went away. They cleaned up time Score Disney bought all that. But it's the same concept, right, it's it's it's like big peep show, at least for these women that do this, and that's crazy. His bank record show. He spent thirty thousand dollars on the website only fans thousand dollars A man, Old man, old man. He spent almost four thousand dollars on PayPal, twenty four

thousand dollars on uber. Pretty pretty wild. Here's something we can look forward to in advertising on pop gills the culture. Rick Flair is going to be the face of cannabis products for a rectile dysfunction. Whoa yeah, he is partnering with Mike Tyson's Weed company, a new line of products. So you do a little weed and your your standard attention boys from Rick Flair Spinal You might have have to use that on the Covino and Rich tribute. You

gonna have to add that to the well. Rick Flair is like, hey, listen, you know, I don't know how many years I have left here, and I might as well get as much money as I possibly can, and I can, I can pass on this inheritance, this massive amount of money. I mean, what is he seventy He's seventy four So, but he's a wrestler, So in wrestling years, that's like one hundred and fourteen, isn't it. Yeah, Yeah,

wrestlers have traditionally not not been around. We don't want to jinx him, but I've been around that long, all right. Last one in pop goes the culture. Ford is patenting self driving, a car technology that will repossess itself if the owner fails to keep up with payments. So like, you don't pay your car and Ford, we'll just it's a self driving thing. You'll just repossess the car. The owner point the way on yeah, and it gets my lying car eyes. But yeah, they presented this this technology.

I'll have your payment on tooth day. This is gonna be bad news for the repo guys that listen to the show overnight that repossess cars while they're driving around. But yeah. The story claims that the technology is so advanced Apple getting the patent on this that the car will repossess itself. The computer tells the car to drive back to the show room if payments payments aren't made.

I also said there's a version of this. If the car is determined to be too beaten up, they will drive the car will drive itself to like a Junkyard or a place where they can, you know, just scrap the car. Yeah, here you go. So if you're planning on not paying for your car payments, you probably should not get afford I would think that's the lesson. That would be the obvious lesson. And as far as the scientifical, we're gonna have a lot of time for let's get scientifical.

There were a couple of stories that that popped up that I wanted to yap about and get to. And here's one that says humans could have wings, tentacles, or an extra arm in the next few decades. What which of those would you like to have? Wings, tentacles, or an extra arm. Well, as you know, because your right hand is always getting a workout. I know, I knew you were gonna do. My right hand was getting a workout. I hear, well, Ben, I happened already have an extra arm.

My nickname in high school was tripod Man. That was my nickname. Yeah, I mean, that would be cool to have four arms, tentacles though, that would be kind of neat, but the wings actually being able to fly. Just think, Danny, your kids, how are people going to have wings? Is this gonna be surgery? Experts have already designed a third thumb controlled by foot movements that they believe the device is a step forward more dramatic additions to the body.

They talked about wings, tentacles, and extra arms could be a reality in the next few decades. They are talking about human augmentation. This sounds out of a horror movie. Isn't this what Frankenstein was all about? I think, wow, yeah, Well, I could tell somebody that I see myself as a hornet and I am transitioning to being a hornet, and that's why I'm having surgery to have some wings put on. But we live in the year twenty twenty three. Well, if you identify as a hornet, Danny, damn it, you're

a hornet and that's all the matters. It doesn't matter if you have the hornet parts. You're a hornet and that's all you need right there, boom, just to inventory and just say it, say it is anyway. Researchers have designed, as we said, a third thumb controlled by foot movements, which allow the weaker or the wearer rather to unscrew a bottle peel a banana or thread a needle using just one hand. Yeah, did they have a drawing of a what a human would look like with with wings?

I need a new drop from you saying my right hand was threading a needle. Yeah, there you go, gonna add that, add that to the mix. Wow, that's uh, that's pretty good. There you go. This this wing thing looks like it's like a bat. This person's like a bat with this, these these giant wings em standing on a cliff. And yeah, well, if you that's not that long though, that seems like way too soon. That seems like a few decades. That's a generation is two and

a half decades. Two and a a half decades, so that would be a generation from now. I'm gonna I'm gonna say a hard no on that one. I'm gonna say hard no on that one. Scientists are trying to use lab grown mini brains to create powerful biocomputers. This, what could go wrong with that? Danny, Holy crap, that's any brains. So they're using balls, Yes, exactly. They decided the big

testicles they're using it says. For years now, scientists have been raising ethical concerns about the creation of lab grown mini brains. At the same time, other scientists are plowing full steam ahead creating these brains, these mini brains, trying

to find ways to put them to good use. And as the story goes, a group of rogue scientists have They've developed something called organinoid intelligence, and they shared their research in one of the science journals, and essentially they want to use the lab grown mini brains as biological hardware for new biocomputers. It'scording to live live science. One of the scientists for John Hopkins University spoke about this. He said, while silicone based computers are certainly better with numbers,

brains are better at learning. I'm good on that. I don't need that. I think we're all right, all right. Last one in scientifical. Let's get scientifical. The common flu which many of people, maybe even you, are suffering from right now now, science claims it they have originated from a fish six hundred million years ago. We can blame a damn fish. Another reason you should not eat seafood. You can blame a fish. Danny g how dare that fish?

Why did they think it's from a fish? I'm glad you asked, Danny, So let's go into the meat of the story. So all these science stories, they all have something in common. They either have the word could may possibly Yeah, they all throw that in there. But the virus found in Sturgeon resembles the ancestor of all known forms of human infecting influenza. Scientists believe the flu originated

from an ancient fish six hundred million years ago. The team found an influenza related virus in the intestines of a start. It was goddamn Sturgeon's danny to hear them. All right, we'll get out on that. Anything you want to promote, we have the mailbag on Sunday, I will promote that. Anything else you want to sell, advertised, promote, scream, shout, yell about nothing here, just big thank you for downloading

these three podcasts this weekend. All right, have a great rest of your day, and don't forget mailbag coming up tomorrow. We will catch you next time. Asta pasta bo Felician
