18

19
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: and other things. And this podcast today is a it

20
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: is not a political podcast. That was yesterday we had

21
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: Dave Ruben on from the Reuben Report, who was great.

22
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: I loved him. It was wonderful. We'll have to have

23
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: him on again. I'm sure we'll have him on several

24
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: times again. But today is I was hanging out. We're

25
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: just hanging out myself and West of the four oh five.

26
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: David Gascon, Gaston Gaston. Uh. I can't. I can't imagine

27
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: because I we, I know, we've we've mentioned this year

28
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: pretty much every day recently. But I get emails from people,

29
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: you know somewhere like congratulating you on your relative becoming

30
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: the district attorneys. People think you are related to the

31
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: looney bin, the just nuts so crazy trained district attorney

32
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles who's letting criminals run free. It's just

33
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: it's just you come from a police family, which is

34
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: the complete opposites wild and they worked together, they worked

35
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: together back in the day. I think the one element

36
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: that caught me up in arms last week was when

37
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: one of the local Fox reporters had reported a story

38
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: where d A. Gascon wants to he wants a prisoner

39
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: who's who's under investigation, is actually waiting for trial on

40
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: a on a murder of a police officer. He wants

41
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: him to be eligible for parole. Yeah, that seems and

42
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: not just I mean, you shouldn't kill anybody. He's killed

43
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: two people, not just the police. And and this was

44
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: like an execution in the back of the back of

45
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: the head fast food restaurant. The guy's eating a burger,

46
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: trying to order a damn burger. This guy comes in,

47
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: this loser kills him. And we haven't the people of

48
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: California because this shows you that the elections are total bullcrap.

49
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: That this guy guess going one because he had the

50
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: most money. I bet you most people though they couldn't

51
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: you pick out anything of of you know what, his background.

52
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: They didn't really look at it that closely. If they had,

53
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: I can't imagine they would have voted for this lunatic

54
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: considering what he did in San Francisco. And now he's like, hey,

55
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: hold my beer. San Francisco, we had people shipping in

56
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,839
Speaker 1: the streets in San Francisco. But l a, oh, we'll

57
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: take it next level, which is unbelievable because we live

58
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: in the world of we need to put everyone in

59
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: a box, whether it's their gender, skin tone, religion, sexual orientation. No,

60
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: I didn't agree with anything or everything, but Jackie Lacey

61
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: was our district attorney, and she was homegrown. She went

62
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: to u C. L A and she graduated from there.

63
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: This is a Democrat. She represented the city of Los Angeles,

64
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: like she had a lot of these checks in, you know,

65
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: on that column for people that were looking for maybe

66
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: someone that wasn't let's say, a typical white male. She

67
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: was anything them. But and apparently it was not good enough.

68
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: So we go all, we had all these big protests,

69
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: you know, I take to the streets. You know, we've

70
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: gotta we've got to solve all these issues. And then

71
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: you know, my god, she was the first African American

72
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: woman to serve as the l A District attorney. But

73
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: apparently that wasn't good enough. Well, and then also you always,

74
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: like you look to law enforcement, who to the law

75
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: enforcement people supporting you know, that's generally you know, that's

76
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: that's not the only thing you look at, but it's something,

77
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: and they all supported Jackie Lacey. Nobody, nobody wanted to

78
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: turn l A into the lawless Old West, which apparently,

79
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: um we've got here from all the sinners become saints.

80
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: It would appear here under this district attorney. So it's

81
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: pretty it's pretty wild. So anyway, on this podcast, we

82
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: have Modern Medical Miracle, a Mallard podcast exclusive. You have

83
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: not heard this on the radio show at all our

84
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: bah humbug. And we've also got Get Soupy. We've got

85
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: Get Soupy as well. I need your advice on something too, Okay,

86
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: So before we get into any of that, I need

87
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: your your professional take on this as a as a

88
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: historically bad eater that has turned good. Um, when is

89
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: the cutoff date for you to eat fruit? What do

90
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: you mean? Like the expiration day? Yeah? So when when

91
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: you look at let's say, um, a banana or an

92
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: apple or maybe even a keywi. Look, where is that

93
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: point of no return? Like where are you throwing it out?

94
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: And when are you're eating it? Well, there's a couple

95
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: of things. First of all, you gotta do the smell test.

96
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: That's the most important. If it smells funky, don't eat it. Secondly,

97
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: you do the field test. You gotta grab it and

98
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: kind of hold it and squeeze it. Does it feel right? Still?

99
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: Does it have the same buoyancy it's supposed to have

100
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: a piece of fruit? If not, um, then then I

101
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: don't do it. But I I'm as we've talked about

102
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: in the past on the pod, it's like my my

103
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: wife has thrown out more food that is just oh,

104
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: it's it's it's almost the expiration day. Let's get rid

105
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: of it. And I'm like, no, no, no, I mean

106
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: I know there are there are stores that I've been

107
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: to that cell expired food because it's still fine to eat.

108
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: It's just an it's a it's an estimate, is what

109
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: it is, right anyway, So so yeah, I'm not I'm

110
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: the wrong person. I do the smell field test and

111
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: then I go for it, usually very really and like

112
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: the banana thing, well everyone but not everyone. A lot

113
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: of people do this. My wife does this where with

114
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: the bananas turned bad, they turned color, then you just

115
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: make banana break, right right, that's the veteran that's the

116
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: veteran movement. Although I read that the bananas are fine

117
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: to eat even after they turn all googley and soggy

118
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: and nasty and all that, they're not, I think I

119
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: was fake news I read on the internet. I had

120
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: a I had a cautiously bad West of the four

121
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: or five moment a couple of days ago, which that's

122
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: why I'm asking you. I you know, typically in the

123
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: morning time I'll run or work out or whatnot, and

124
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: then eat later on the day. But on this day,

125
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: I decided to make myself a protein shake in the morning,

126
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: and it consisted of some questionable bananas and some questionable kiwi's,

127
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: and um, it made me think about you in a

128
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: certain park. Oh, you had the you had to we

129
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: call that now the Lamar Jackson you had the I

130
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: don't think I don't think I've run. I don't think

131
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: I've run that fast from point A to point B

132
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: to finishal a workout that I did on that day.

133
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: And then the rest of the day I was I

134
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: was in the infirmary known as the bathroom. So you

135
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: were like Sonic the hedge. Yeah, you were as you

136
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: were running. Uh yeah, listen, I've obviously been there a

137
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: couple of times. You know, that scamper and the thing.

138
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: And now you can you can relate to Lamar Jackson

139
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: because when you saw the Lamar Jackson video, he said

140
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: he had a cramp, which no one believes. That no

141
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: one believes because you could tell as he was walking

142
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: he was kind of holding his took his cheeks together,

143
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: that's the sign of someone that's got a dysentery situation.

144
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: He's got they called that. In the back of the day,

145
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: the term was the Tennessee Trots. They called it. And

146
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I've seen it. We we have seen that.

147
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: And uh, you know he's got the diaper gravy going

148
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: on there, and so you had that. We'll welcome to

149
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: the club, man, welcome to the club. It was. It

150
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: was horrifying just to be in that element where you

151
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: get to your destination and all of a sudden you

152
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: feel like not good. It's just memories of dumb and

153
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: dumber with the Lloyd Christmas um doing a little something

154
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: with a laxative in a drink. Now, let's crank it

155
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: up a couple of notches, make it even more awkward

156
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: and uncomfortable and difficult. Um, So now do that running

157
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: sprinting with the Tennessee Trots. Right, had a little dysentery there,

158
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: and you make it to the toilet, but you don't

159
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: want to sit on the toilet, so you want to

160
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,599
Speaker 1: strat it like it's kind of like the squatty potty.

161
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: And then you think you have hit the bowl with

162
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: your steaming dump and this ship shows over and then

163
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: you turn around and it's a crime scene. It's uh,

164
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: it's the worst thing you've ever seen. Uh, And then

165
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: you have to decide do I just leave and leave

166
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:22,239
Speaker 1: this horrific discuss the whole back wall covered in brown poop?

167
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: Or do you try to clean it up a little bit?

168
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: See that's that's where it's just it's really thorny. It's

169
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 1: it's delicate. Yeah, it's a very delicate proposition, especially when yeah,

170
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: you feel a little tinkle maybe on your ankles, on

171
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: your calf maybe like delicate it's not good. Or you're

172
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: like at that moment, you're like, well, I'm probably getting

173
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: most of it in. You know, maybe not, but I'm

174
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: getting most of it. And then you turn around you

175
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: come agitated. You're like, holy crap. It brings me back

176
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: to one of my favorite movies, Predator, and Mac has

177
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: the mini gun or he's trying to hit the predator

178
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: and he just spray hasn't praise that mini gun, and

179
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: he doesn't hit a fucking thing, but all the trees

180
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: and the entire forest is decimated because of gunfire, but

181
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: he doesn't hit his mark. That That is it right there? Yeah,

182
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: it is uh, it's it's it's interesting. Uh what's the term.

183
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: Is it down range? I think it's not the term, yeah, downrange. Yeah,

184
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: that's a that's a tough one anyway. All Right, So

185
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: as far as the this kind of relates loosely, kind

186
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: of relates loose no pun intended. Yeah, to the to

187
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: the conversation we're having modern medical miracle. Now I've never

188
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: told this story. I'm violating my own hippo laws on this. Um,

189
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: So I have a Mallard medical update. So during Halloween,

190
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: right around Halloween, um, you know, I don't I don't

191
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: eat too much, as you know, you'd like to tease

192
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: me with food porn. So Halloween week, my wife had

193
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: bought this big bag of Costco candy bars nice and

194
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: one night in particular, I just decided to go for it,

195
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: you know. I flashed back to my fatty days, and

196
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm gonna just load up on this, you know,

197
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: and go for it. I'm gonna live like I, you know,

198
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: lived back in the day. And so I was double

199
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: fisting candy bars and gummy worms. One hand was like chocolate,

200
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: the other hand was gummy worms. Anyway, so I went

201
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: to lay down to go to bed is on the

202
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: weekend and my head starts spinning. I'm dizzy, and I'm like,

203
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: holy crap. So I did what anyone would do. I

204
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: went online to try to figure out why, you know,

205
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: I'd never had this happened to me before ever, why

206
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: this was going on. And I it every every medical website,

207
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: you know, web MD. All those things said sign a diabetic,

208
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: you're diabetic. My both my parents, my mom passed away,

209
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: my dad's all around diabetic, and they said you're more

210
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: prone to being diabetic. So this was very concerning to me.

211
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: You might imagine, so um and that at around that time,

212
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: we found out that Roberto, who works on the show,

213
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: obviously is diabetic as well, and so I'm freaking out.

214
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: I changed changed a few things around um, and then

215
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: I went to get some lab tests done on my blood.

216
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: In fact, I just got them done this week. I

217
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,599
Speaker 1: was reluctant to go because of the COVID thing. I

218
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: was like, I don't want to go to a hospital

219
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: right now, and of course I was right. The weight

220
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: was it took me an hour to get my blood drawn,

221
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: and the weight it was brutal because they only had

222
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: a couple of stations open, you know, those people waiting

223
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: to get their blood drawn. So I had a bunch

224
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: of blood taken out of my left arm. Now keep

225
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: in mind my my experiences with doctors is normally bad.

226
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: I don't have good experiences with doctors. So I'm I'm

227
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: waiting for the results here, and I'm thinking the worst. Right,

228
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: I'm expecting that call. We're gonna put on seven different

229
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: drugs for the rest of your life. You're diabetic, You're

230
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: a loser, how dare you? And the results were a

231
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: modern medical miracle. Was stunning. It was I like using

232
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: the word hum dinger. This is a humdinger. So the

233
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: doctor calls me up, and the doctor wanted me to

234
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: explain how my labs had improved so much in a

235
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: couple of years since I last had them done. And

236
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: apparently this blew me away. I had been diabetic. I

237
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: didn't know it. Most people don't know they're diabetic. And

238
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: because of my my diet changed, my inter minute fasting,

239
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: and my lifestyle changes. I am even though I guess

240
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: I'm still technically diebetic, I'm not. They don't have to

241
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: put me my medicine, and they think I'm fine, Um

242
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: that I've I've self medicated with my lifestyle changes where

243
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about that stuff. Um, my

244
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: levels were so low that they like they couldn't figure

245
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: it out. They're like, how the hell did you did

246
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: you do some I mean they were trying to it's

247
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: all because the intermitte fasting. It's wild. Wow. So it's

248
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: just apparently because I I don't normally eat so much

249
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: candy and junk food that that night I overtoased and

250
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: my body could not handle it because it wasn't used

251
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 1: to that amount of sugar that I don't usually eat.

252
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: And I might eat some like chocolate, almonds or something

253
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: from time to time, but that's pretty much the extent

254
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: of it. And so they that they think that's why

255
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: I was all wobbly and like tripping, like I was

256
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: drunk and my head was smitting. So when you got

257
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: your your blood, your labs back, did you go through

258
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: the full gamut of testing, like did you do triglycerites,

259
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: your HDL, your l d L, your cholesterol, like did

260
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: you do everything? Yeah, they went through all that. My

261
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: liver function and everything was really my liver improved tremendously.

262
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: I didn't realize it was a problem. Apparently they were like,

263
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: there was something going on there. And I now keep

264
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: in mind, I want to put a disclaimer on this, Gascount.

265
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: You should never take medical advice from a podcaster or

266
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: an overnight radio hack. Um. You should make your own

267
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: lifestyle choices and your own changes. But I am. I'm

268
00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: fully invested in the cult of intermitute fasting and I

269
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: don't know how long I'll live. I hope I live

270
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: a long time. But however long I live, I will

271
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: I'll be if I am I lucky enough to get

272
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: to my eighties and nineties or whatever, I will continue this.

273
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: This is this is with me now. Um, I'm not changing.

274
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: So it was wild, man, I was. I was convinced

275
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: I was diabetic. I was convinced that I was going

276
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: to go on all these drugs and I was totally

277
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: screwed up. And that is the kind of thing you

278
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: do not expect when you get the other news, the

279
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: good news. I was like, Wow, that's wild. Now, what

280
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: was the motivating factor behind getting your blood drawn? The

281
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: wife she forced me to Well, I was gonna say,

282
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: because you can do an annual physical and it's free

283
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: of charge with your insurance provider if you have private insurance. No, No,

284
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: I just wanted to get you know, I wanted to

285
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: with the whole I'm not like most people with the

286
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: COVID thing. You know, every time I go by that

287
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: there's a hospital right now where I live, and there's

288
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: a line. I've sent you photos of that. I mean,

289
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: there's people lined up around the street to get tested

290
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: for this, that and the other thing, which I think

291
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: is COVID, and I kind of avoid that for now.

292
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: And it's like it's I don't feel like it's urgent.

293
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: I mean because it only happened a couple of times,

294
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: and that that week I was eating all the candy. Um.

295
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm all about and the doctor was like, well,

296
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: you know, I'm kind of The doc was like, I'm

297
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: kind of on inter minute fasting because I don't know

298
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: I as a doctor. You're in the hospital or whatever,

299
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: and you're you know, you don't eat for a while.

300
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, Now a cheat code for you, Ben, and

301
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: for for listeners out there. If you do get your

302
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: annual physical and you get your labs like like Ben

303
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: had done, you can actually instruct your doctor to request

304
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: other things measured So for men, if you want to

305
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: get your testostero measured, your vitamin D levels measured, um,

306
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: vitamin C, like all those other things that you typically

307
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: have to pay for, if you say that you want

308
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: them get them tested for preventative reasons, they can include

309
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: that into the report and not charge you for it. Yeah,

310
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: little life hacked from David get Yeah, I found that out.

311
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: See earlier this year when we were talking about I

312
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: had some ear issues. I had my my physical done

313
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: and the doctor decided to just add a boatload of

314
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: things to my my blood. So from my labs, I

315
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: had to draw six vials of blood, but he included

316
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: everything in there so I wouldn't have to be charged

317
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: for it, and we labeled it as preventative reasons. And

318
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: because of that, Yeah, if I didn't, it was like

319
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: seventy five dollars, I think to measure your vitamin D

320
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: or to measure your testosterone, all those other things you

321
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 1: can do, but you get it free a charge once

322
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 1: every year. So it's a great little life hack for you.

323
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. That's that's that's my medical update. And

324
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: I'm like I was excited about it. I was dreading it.

325
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: I was like when I was waiting, because you don't

326
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: actually see the doctor. You go in and have the

327
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,959
Speaker 1: test and then the doctor calls you. Now you know,

328
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: so that's it. But don't bury the Leadum a man,

329
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: what what did you clock in at? What's your weight?

330
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: Because you are no longer You're no longer skinny Santa.

331
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: I mean you're no longer fat. Said you were skinny Santa.

332
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: Now that's right. I forgot we were wants to talk

333
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: about the Santa thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I've I've

334
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: lost you know, I don't give my fighting weight. I'm

335
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: not quite at where I want to be. Um, you know,

336
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: I still have because I was really fat for a

337
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: long time. I've still got some some skin kind of

338
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: hanging around places and stuff. But I'm I'm satisfied with

339
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: where I'm at now. I want to lose a little

340
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: more and I feel like every pound I lose I

341
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: might be gett an extra day. So I mess although too.

342
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: There is a point where then then it becomes a negative.

343
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: And I know Supermarket Steve and his wife were very

344
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: concerned about me because they like you, You're get a

345
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: little too crazy with this diet stuff. See that's the

346
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: problem when you're a big fat guy. You lose weight,

347
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: people think you're sick. You know, it's it's a big,

348
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: big issue here. But I did play Santa last week.

349
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: They strapped me to the back of a fire truck

350
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: and we drove around a city in southern California, right

351
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: in the in the foothills there, and it was awesome.

352
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: It was it was bigger. I've done this now like

353
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: five six years something like that, I don't know how long,

354
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: And it was awesome. It was so much fun, and

355
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: it was bigger this year than it's ever been because

356
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: everyone is so freaking bored and they've got nothing to do,

357
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: and this was the highlight to see the joy on

358
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: people's faces who have been in this prolonged stressful situation

359
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: of COVID and locked in their homes and not able

360
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: to go a lot of places. Get some takeout food

361
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 1: in a doggy bag and get out of here. And

362
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: there were people it was I felt like I was

363
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: in the Rose Parade and I'm the star of the

364
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: Rose Parade, like they were. I'm the biggest float and uh,

365
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 1: I have the ribbon on it and on that. Because

366
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: there were people that had their chairs outside on the

367
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: lawn waiting to wave at Santa and the and the

368
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: elves and all that. It was really neat. It was

369
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: a lot of fun, and they were you know, it

370
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: went to all parts of the city. I mean, we

371
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 1: were up in the hills and it was night. It

372
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: was this was Friday night we did this, and it

373
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: got really freaking cold up in the hills. There's some

374
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: beautiful houses though, man, my god, to manches some costas

375
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: up there, and these are like neighborhoods I would never

376
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: go to. I don't think I'm allowed. I don't have

377
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: enough money to go to these neighborhos. And then these

378
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: huge houses, and there was one that was really cool.

379
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: They had all these little kids out and they had like,

380
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: you know, the Christmas theme out there, and they were

381
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: out and sitting waiting anxiously, you know, wait and see

382
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: the parade. It was pretty pretty neat. It was a

383
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: lot of fun, and you know, hopefully I'd like to

384
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:26,959
Speaker 1: think that it goes back to the way it had

385
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: been where it's not over the top, like this is

386
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: the biggest thing in your life. But you know, for

387
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: this year, it was. It was tremendous and so I

388
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: want to thank the police, the fire you know, obviously

389
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: dealing with the fire department in the police department over there,

390
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: and it was pretty cool. That is awesome. But again

391
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: you went from you went from big old sand to

392
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: to just just a dude, you know. And those those

393
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: scannu the Santa pants made me look like they were

394
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: like skinny jeans on me, which is really scary. I

395
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: should never And the revealing part is usually when Santa's

396
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 1: were those big thick black belts, when you put it

397
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: through the loop, it looks like there's only a little

398
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: bit of slack. You had a ton of slack. You

399
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: had an I had too much slack. I had way

400
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: too much, way too much slack. Now, all right, so

401
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: speaking of Christmas, all right, speaking of Christmas and Hanukah

402
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 1: which is now over. Honka just ended. So speaking of

403
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: all this, um, let's get soupy. Now. This is a

404
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: guy I actually met early in my radio career and

405
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: he popped up in the news this week and it

406
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: was like, whoa wait a minute, here there's an actor

407
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: by the name of Larry Thomas. You know who Larry

408
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: Thomas is. He's rather generic guy in Hollywood. You know

409
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 1: Larry Thomas. I know it Joe Thomas. Um No, I

410
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: do not know Larry Thomas. Well, Larry Thomas spent a

411
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: number of years as mostly a character actor, I would

412
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,719
Speaker 1: say based on what I know of him. Um. But

413
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:06,719
Speaker 1: his one cameo role, which was a huge success that

414
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: has lived on over the last twenty five years as

415
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: an all time great Hollywood roll he was Larry Thomas

416
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: the soup Nazi on Seinfeld. One of the most famous

417
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: episodes of Seinfeld The soupnots and And he was on

418
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 1: a few of those episodes. But anyway, so I met him.

419
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: He he was a cigar connoisseur and they had a

420
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: the Cigar show. The was doing local radio in l A.

421
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: These guys were trying to start this cigar show. I

422
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: think they had it. It was a weekend show and

423
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: I had to do a Saturday morning show in addition

424
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: to the week show that I was doing weekday show.

425
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: And so I'd come in there and they would be

426
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: recording that we were on the eighth floor of this

427
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: skyscraper in l A. And they would be smoking cigars.

428
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to smoke in there, and uh, you know,

429
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: just you know, guy. It was back in the nineties.

430
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: Men could be men, you know, to stosterone was flowing,

431
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: guys were being guys, and uh, you know, he was

432
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: the Soup Nazi and doing that whole thing. And so

433
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: I I met him a few times. I bring this

434
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: up because the CEO of Cameo. Did you see this?

435
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: He was on a guest appearance on some podcast and

436
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: revealed how much the Soup Nazi makes from cameo per year.

437
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: You want to take a guess how much he makes

438
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: per year from cameo. I don't want to be bad

439
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: on this, Let me guess. I will say per year.

440
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say two fifty dollars. Okay, Well, to me

441
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: see the idea of making any kind of real money

442
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: on cameo. I mean, I do a couple of bucks here,

443
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: a couple bucks there. I mean, I'm gonna nobody he

444
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: makes you're you're probably right. He makes over six figures

445
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:52,479
Speaker 1: a year doing cameo videos. And it starts he's like

446
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: eighty dollars a cameo and he's making over a hundred

447
00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: thousand for these little thirty second, one minute videos. Holy crap.

448
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 1: And um. Anyway, the guy that the CEO, the guy

449
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: that runs the parent company of Cameo here to apologize

450
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: UM for revealing how much money the guy makes. But

451
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 1: UM apparently is a ton of these celebrities that are

452
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: making an extra hundred thousand dollars. If the Soup Nazi, Okay,

453
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: if the Soup Nazi is making that, how much do

454
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: you think Floyd Mayweather or Drew Brees or the Woutang

455
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: clan are making you know what I'm I mean, It's

456
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: just it's wild. Think about some of those people from

457
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: the Office. You know how popular that show was. There's

458
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of characters from the Office that are on there.

459
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 1: Uh the uh one of they I'm looking at some

460
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 1: of the prices, the one of three hundred dollars, Leslie Baker,

461
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: Leslie David Baker. He was the funny guy, the African

462
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: American guy in the office, you know, kind of overweight guy.

465
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: By the way, I raised my rate as I said,

466
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: I would have forty dollars now, perfect holiday gift to

467
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: a fan of the show, Cameo. Unless it's not. I'm

468
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: just saying it's it's a possibility right, it's a positive.

469
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: It's out there. You can you know, it's tossing that out. Cameo, cameo, cameo,

Speaker 1: mini Maller monologue only for you. I'm in there, you go.

478
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: So it's out there. So cameo dot com bat but

479
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: good luck the soup not see good good God, hundred

480
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: over a hundred at least a hundred thousand, you said

481
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: two hundred fifty. Who knows how much it actually is.

482
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:04,719
Speaker 1: And just that's unbelievable to me. Right over, So if

483
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: you're making let's just say, over the course of a

484
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: calendar year, if you're doing one cameo appearance every day

485
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: the entire year, it's two d and seventy four dollars. Yeah,

486
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: that's that's what you're charging per day, and obviously he's

487
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: not doing one per day. Yeah, I hear. It's uh,

488
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: you know what you should do. You should raise your

489
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: rate to like a hundred or a hundred fifty bucks

490
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: and see if you get any bites. I don't want

491
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: to be that guy. You're not that guy. You're just

492
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: you're you. I okay, So what's your threshold then, like,

493
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 1: what's the max you would go to? Well, the only

494
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: reason I raised my prices because they started taking extra

495
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: fees out of it, and so I was like, what's

496
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: the point of that. I mean, you spent some time

497
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: dealing with this stuff. But if I actually became popular,

498
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: I guess I would be like a mod rashot in

499
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,239
Speaker 1: charge a hundred dollars or you are popular? No, I'm

500
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: I'm popular. I'm overnight radio popular. You know, there's a

501
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: there's a difference has been popularity, Like overnight radio. Dennis

502
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: Rodman charges seven hundred and fifty dollars for a cameo

503
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: US Denis Robbie's and pop Icon He's and you know

504
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: pop uh friend of the North Korean dictator and all

505
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: that you eat, you eat bull testicles on Instagram. You

506
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: have Arizona reporters that write articles about you. I'd say

507
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: it's safe to say that you're pretty popular. We got

508
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: a little pub in Pittsburgh this week. My rant about

509
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger was picked up by some of the social

510
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: media feeds of the newspapers in Pittsburgh. But were there, Uh.

511
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: I'll give the Pittsburgh fans credit. They were not nearly

512
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: as offended as the Arizona like. I feel like the

513
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: Steeler fan base is more receptive to criticism, which is

514
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: a good thing. That's a good thing. I didn't get

515
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: nearly as much ship as I got from the loot

516
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: it takes in the Valley of the Sun as I

517
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: did from the people to Pittsburgh when I took some

518
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: shots at Roethlisberger being done, and they didn't. They didn't

519
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: really seem all that bother and a few people were upset,

520
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: but it wasn't anything like it was me Kyler Murray,

521
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: Oh my god, hellighet her arms? How dare you? What's

522
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: wrong with yo? God? Day about you know that? Well,

523
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: maybe it's because you're attacking his you know, his stature

524
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: as opposed to his performance. His performance based criticism. His

525
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: stature is part of his performance. Tylu, the coach of

526
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: the Clippers, charges two hundred sixteen dollars for Oh my gosh,

527
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: now Boban Marjanovitch. I like him hundred and fifty bucks. Boban.

528
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: What do you think that he's the big fat guy?

529
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: Does Jim Kramer have a cameo account? Check here? Give

530
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: me one sec Jim Kramer. Just start doing that for

531
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: investment advice. Follow me on. I do not see Jim Kramer.

532
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: There's a Joey Kramer that is on there, but I

533
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: did not see there's the market for that Jim Kramer.

534
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: Jim Labors is on there. You can request a cameo

535
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: from me and I can get into uh do you

536
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: know Jim Labors? Of course we can get. He follows Twitter.

537
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: We can get we can get lays on. He follows

538
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: me on Twitter. I think he does some nonprofit stuff

539
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: in New York, doesn't he? Yeah, he's like he's by coastal.

540
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: I believe he spent some time in Orange County. Um.

541
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: I think he's a member of the Big Saddleback Church.

542
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: Last I heard in Mission Viejo. And obviously because of

543
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: his ties in New York when you're when you hit

544
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: a game winning, you know, world series changing home run

545
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: for the New York Yankees, that opens up some doors.

546
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: It opens up a few doors for you in the

547
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: New York metropolitan area. Some guys can they go for that. So, alright,

548
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: we have bah Humbug. Very exciting here, I guess on

549
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: bah Humbug. Now, this is the final weekend for us

550
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: a podcasting unless something crazy as he happens, and we

551
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: have to know there's a chance we might come back

552
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: um right around New Year's and do something probably not,

553
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: probably not. So this our our final weekend of podcasting

554
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: before the long holiday hiatus. And we will be back

555
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: in early January on the radio show, and we'll see

556
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: about the the podcast, and I guess we're gonna continue,

557
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: depending on my schedule. We will continue Benny Versus the Penny,

558
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: so we'll still have that content on Fridays, right, And

559
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: we had two more weeks after this in the regular

560
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: season here and then it's a little depressing, Yeah, do

561
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: you not want to do Benny versus I love Benny

562
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: Versus the Penny. It just it's unfortunate that when it

563
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: comes to a closed football season, I mean that means

564
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: football seasons come to a close. So yeah, I um

565
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: enjoy it. I think that it's great. It's game, great traction,

566
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: and like you said last week, it looks aesthetically appeasing

567
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: now compared to week number one. It only took me

568
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: four months to figure out what the problem was, so

569
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm on top of it. Does not get any better.

570
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: You give me four months or three months. I think

571
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: it was three months, and I will figure figure it out.

572
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: So with that mention of the the ba humbug and

573
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: all that stuff, we'll be back with plenty of unique

574
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: original audio content for you in by the way, free

575
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: of charge. Free. This is free audio content. You know.

576
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: You know, there's no paywall, there's none of that stuff.

577
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: It's all available to you for free. So consider this now.

578
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: Are right of passage usually ritual. It's like the swallows

579
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: returning to Capistrano punk Satani Phil will he see his

580
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: shadow on Groundhog Day? It is a call to action

581
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: for all the brigadier generals, all the active and unactive

582
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: members of the Mallard Militia. You must keep your guard

583
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: up over the next couple of weeks. I will not

584
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: be at my watch post. I will not be the

585
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: watchdog of sports radio. For the next couple of weeks.

586
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: I'll be away and we have to be on guard

587
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: for lazy Christmas New Year's radio. You are my eyes

588
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: and ears. You are my eyes and ears. You must

589
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: report back. It's a very painful period. I'm sure no

590
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: one we work with will do this kind of radio

591
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: because it would be wrong. It would be wrong. But

592
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: it is a time where laziness takes over radio in

593
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: our business, in sports radio. So some of the traditional

594
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: lazy hack holiday topics of conversation for Christmas, it's who's

595
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: been naughty and who's been nice? In sports. That's an

596
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: obvious one. Another one that comes up this time of

597
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: the year is a host will do no show prep

598
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: no preparation for it at all, and say, what do

599
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: you think we should get player X for Christmas? You

600
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: know it could be Patrick Mahomes, Lebron James, Um, Mike Trout.

601
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: Watch them to get player X for Chris. What should

602
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: we get Mike Trout for Christmas? A pitching staff? Um,

603
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: what is your what is your favorite athletes? What do

604
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: you think is under your favorite athletes Christmas? Tree? All right,

605
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: that's one who gets a lump of cold in sports. Uh,

606
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: you know, there's all these lazy things that come up

607
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: at this time of the year, and then spin off

608
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: what we talked about this during Thanksgiving, it's who in

609
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: sports do you invite to Christmas dinner? That's another one.

610
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: And then recently we've seen this pandemic, its own pandemic

611
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: of the Christmas draft, the Christmas draft, um. And then

612
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: you've got like, um, Santa Claus, Reindeer, Christmas Carol's gifts.

613
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: You know what's the first pick? Is it the Christmas tree?

614
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: Is it the stockings? You know? Is the church? You know? Oh,

615
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm oh my god, it's so so over the top.

616
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: So you gotta keep it. You gotta keep an eye

617
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: on those things. And then New Year's there's not as

618
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: many for New Year's, but they are out there. That's

619
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: simple laziness is tell me your sports New Year's resolutions.

620
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: That's always out there, and you know, go you go on.

621
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: We find out also the you could spend this is like, hey,

622
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: who needs to spend Who in sports needs to spend

623
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: more time with their family? Which is code for somebody

624
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: needs to you know, lose their job because they need

625
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: to be fired. And then there's the tell me who

626
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: in sports needs to work out more because they're fat?

627
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: You know those companies those are That's my brief brief

628
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: call to arms as the ears and the eyes of

629
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: the Mallard Militia there to keep an eye out for

630
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,479
Speaker 1: this kind of radio. Now, with you taking a few

631
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: few heart earned days off because of the holidays, yeah,

632
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 1: will you be brainstorming on different things for because I've

633
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 1: had some things kind of roam through the mind and

634
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, yeah, Well I usually take a week

635
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: and do nothing, and then I after that I have

636
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: to write liners because I'm the only one that can

637
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: write those liners apparently for the show. So you know

638
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 1: those things Eddie says when he comes back. Good radio

639
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: shows change those every month. We change him once a year.

640
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: I'll have to come up with some new liners for

641
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,720
Speaker 1: Eddie to read coming back, and so I'll be working

642
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: on that. That takes a little bit of time because

643
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: you want things to sound unique, and those are gonna

644
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: be on for an entire year unless something crazy happened,

645
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: so we'll have to figure out how that goes. I'll

646
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: do that, and yeah, I'm always trying to think of

647
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: some new original bits to keep the show fresh because

648
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: you don't want things to go stale, because then when

649
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: things go stale, they cancel your ass. And you don't

650
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 1: want that. You want to always you want to keep

651
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: up with the times, right, you want to keep up

652
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: with the times. And so yeah, we'll we'll look around.

653
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: You just don't want things to become tedious and hum

654
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: drum and and all that. And so when you start

655
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: feeling like you're going to Dolesville, then you you got

656
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: I will tell you though, guests, and this has been

657
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,919
Speaker 1: this last week leading into the to the break. It's

658
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: it's a little tough. You know. I feel like the

659
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: kid right before summer break or the kid before winter break,

660
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: where you're like, man, I gotta, I gotta, I still

661
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: gotta go to school for a couple more days. You know.

662
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: I got your mind starts wandering a little bit about

663
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: about that. So I've tried to battle that as much

664
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: as I can. Yeah, I have a few different ideas

665
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: for oh, you're for you and yeah, because we don't

666
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: stick to sports here on the podcast, No no, And

667
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: I thought once the conclusion of Benny Versus a Penny

668
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 1: comes at the obviously the end of the season, with

669
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Um, maybe doing something that's not sticking to

670
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: sports related now. I know with certain shows that you've

671
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: been on in the past, there's kind of like that

672
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: crosstalk where you'd be on on a show and he

673
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: passed the proverbial baton to the nether host for the

674
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: next show. Yeah, that was a tradition. In fact, some

675
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 1: radio stations that's like the most popular part when they

676
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,240
Speaker 1: do the crossover there. Yeah. So I was thinking maybe

677
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: doing something like that while we're on YouTube and we

678
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: talked about non sports related content, which we kind of

679
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: trade back and forth the a text that we can't

680
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: talk about on air, discussing those things and then crossing

681
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: right over to you going live on radio. Oh, it's

682
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: like before the radio show. Yeah, pre like a pregame show. Yeah.

683
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: I mean, if there's, uh, there's this is possibility. I'd

684
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: have to look at the and how long it would

685
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: be in that kind of thing, but be open to it.

686
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: That's something to think about. I do know that we're

687
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,919
Speaker 1: we're talking about something for for baseball season with with you,

688
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: myself and Rob Parker. Yeah. Yeah, I'd love to do

689
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: more during that. I'm a baseball guy. I love baseball.

690
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: You know, Rob loves baseball too, so we would be

691
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: good to put something there. Yeah, listen, I hope the economy,

692
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: assuming things do return to somewhat normal, will improve and

693
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: people start getting jobs back, and restaurants will be able

694
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: to open and people can go eat and go to

695
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: ball games, and hopefully that means more opportunities in the

696
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: media business to do some some different things and to

697
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: expand and and all that. So sure, absolutely, yeah, alright,

698
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: we we have a little time. How do we do

699
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: pop quiz? You want a little drop quiz here? All right?

700
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: These are things I found around the internet and just

701
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: have some fun with a lot of holiday ones today,

702
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: a lot of holiday ones because the time of the year. Win,

703
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: but we'll start out with some non holiday ones. On average,

704
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 1: on average, we do this three hundred days a year.

705
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 1: What is it, three hundred days? Three hundred days a year, dude, dude, dude, dude.

706
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: Traditionally there's three hundred sixty five days. This year, there's

707
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:49,959
Speaker 1: three under sixty six. Because it's a leap. Yeah, um work,

708
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: uh no, wake up, grumpy. Oh that's a bad percentage.

709
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: That's a lot. Yeah. Is that just because you didn't

710
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: get enough sleep. Is that the I don't know, it

711
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: doesn't give you the reason. But wow, the math on that.

712
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 1: Let me let me do some back of the napkin

713
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: math here. So there's three sixty five days in a year,

714
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: and three hundred of them you are grumpy. That is

715
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: eighty two at the time. It could be from a hangover.

716
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: It could be from a breakup, a bad marriage, a

717
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:33,240
Speaker 1: bad relationship, losing your job, um, gaining too much weight, stress, kids,

718
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: a lot of things. But man, that's a horrible percentage. Yeah,

719
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 1: that is all right, It is frowned upon. But nearly

720
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: eight of us do this at work. What is it? Belch, belch?

721
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: Use emojis? You're not supposed to use emojis at work? Yes,

722
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: I can't use the smiley emojis. Where would you use

723
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 1: you mean, like in a group text or like if

724
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: you're working on a team texting about something, Yeah, you

725
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: instead of saying something, you'd put an emoji in there. Wow.

726
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: That is fascinating, though. I know in court cases over

727
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: the last couple of years they've been trying to figure

728
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: out how to bring emojis into that world, the legal world,

729
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: you know, because there's text chains with people committing crimes,

730
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: and they look at the emojis and how do they

731
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: crack the code? Man, It's pretty pretty crazy because people

732
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: can interpret emojis different ways, obviously, right, some people have

733
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: hijack certain emojis for sexual references and other things and whatnot.

734
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,240
Speaker 1: All right. According to a recent study, men start turning

735
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: into their father at age thirty eight. What is the

736
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: number one sign a man is becoming his dad? Um?

737
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 1: Do do do? Do? The way? The way he grows

738
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: facial hair? No, it's falling asleep in the living room

739
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: on the couch or they were liner. Okay, yeah, I

740
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 1: can't do that. Can you fall asleep on the couch

741
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: or the recliner? Yeah? Yes, I can't on the weekends

742
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 1: because I don't get a lot of sleep during the

743
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: podcast and so I don't gotta sleep in general. But

744
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: by the end of the week it gets to Friday

745
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: night and I I I laid down on the couch

746
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 1: to watch something and I'm snoozing. I am I'm a

747
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: hollering James, that is what I am, all right. A

748
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: new survey asked people to name a skill that their

749
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 1: father taught them. This was the most common answer among respondents.

750
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: What is driving No, barbecuing a grill barbecue. Did your

751
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 1: dad teach you how to barbecue? Guess I just picked

752
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: it up and wet. Although he didn't teach me how

753
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: to drive either. Yeah, my mom tried to teach me

754
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: how to drive, but then she hired driving instructor. That

755
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: such a bad driver. Did your dad teach you how

756
00:41:54,680 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: to barbecue? No, my dad's a terrible barbecue My my dad,

757
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: my pops. Uh, you know. He he believes the only

758
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: way to properly cook a meals in the microwave for

759
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: two minutes and anything more than that. No, And I'm

760
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: telling my I, I tell me, listen, that's that's food

761
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: is gonna taste so much better. Just put it in

762
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: the stove. Which it's just like the microwave said it

763
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 1: go away, come back, take it out. No, No, it

764
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: takes too long. Takes too long. So yeah, he's not

765
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: the guy. Not the guy to go to al right.

766
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: A new survey says that more than of households have

767
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 1: one of these but have not used it in at

768
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: least five years. Smoke detector. It's related to the holidays.

769
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 1: Um um bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum

770
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: bum bum bum bum bum I'd say a fuse box. No,

771
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,879
Speaker 1: it can't be a fuse box, usee box, that would

772
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: be impossible, that that could be the worst answer ever. Know.

773
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: The correct answer is artificial Christmas tree. Ah, it makes

774
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: sense now, I've only I'm new to the Christmas tree game,

775
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, growing being Jewish. My wife is not, and

776
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: so we have a Christmas tree and we get a

777
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 1: real run, real one every year. But I have seen

778
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: I've been at people's houses that have the fake ones

779
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: when you put it away, putting it back together, and

780
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: it's a pain in the ast. So I could see

781
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: how people would be like, Okay, I just we're gonna

782
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: leave this. We're not. We have it, but we're not.

783
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 1: Just you're not gonna use it. I was thinking fuse

784
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 1: box because most houses now are being made with fuse

785
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: boxes inside the house as opposed to outside, water power,

786
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: electrical everything trying to get inside as opposed outside. All right,

787
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 1: it could. According to a new survey, when it comes

788
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: to the holidays, women are almost twice as likely to

789
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 1: do this as men. What is it? It's all for

790
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: the ladies? Bake You're so sexist, you're so misogynistic. How

791
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: dare you know? The correct answer is to re gift. Oh,

792
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: re re get. Now that's lazy. The key thing about

793
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 1: re gifting is you have to make sure that the

794
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: two universes do not collide at any point. Right. You've

795
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: got to make sure the gift you get that you

796
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: give to somebody else is any different dimensions and those

797
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: dimensions will never crossover, or else you are Scott rude.

798
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 1: But now, what's your take on someone? If you have

799
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: a significant other or relative that asks you what you

800
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,720
Speaker 1: want for Christmas? Do you take that as an insult?

801
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: Or do you take that? Like? Do you appreciate that?

802
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I was very enthusiastic about that,

803
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 1: But I don't really want no. Now I'm like, I

804
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: don't don't get me anything. If you have to ask,

805
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: don't get me anything, you know, just leave me. I

806
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: don't need anything. I'm good you what do you? How

807
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: do you treat? I think more so now it's I

808
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: think it's kind of lazy. Yeah, yeah, but it also though,

809
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: eliminates getting something for someone they don't want, which you

810
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 1: could say is actually efficient. But if you knew the

811
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 1: individual then you wouldn't have a problem with that. Yeah,

812
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: you might know someone but you don't know if they

813
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: have you know what they have in their house and

814
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: there you know every You don't have inventory. You didn't

815
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: go through everything and do a checklist of what they

816
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: have and what they need. All right. A Pennsylvania man

817
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 1: has the world record for the largest collection of this

818
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: holiday item. What is it? Wow? This is really strange.

819
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: This one um a rather innocuous item that you don't

820
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: really think about, but as part of the holidays for

821
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: many many people. Missiletell A Christmas tree stand guy collects

823
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 1: have a lot of plastic ones. We got a big

824
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 1: metal one. That's a good investment. I think last. I

825
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 1: thing last. All right, if you're average, you're gonna buy

826

Speaker 1: three of these, three of these over the high today?

827

Speaker 1: to tape. Three rolls of wrapping paper. Damn, it was

830
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: my first so close, and you didn't say it, so

837
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: I guess you're not invited to the ugly sweater party

838
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: next year. Then if you cannot stand them, well, it's nothing.

00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: There's nothing worse than seeing someone that's ugly wearing ugly sweater. Wow,
